not sure if i agree, it's just another tool, usable for both good and evil

and as far as "software used for evil", as terrible as this is to admit, even among open source projects, domestic abuse is pretty tame

predator drones run linux, after all. My professional software career lasted for all of a year and i know for a fact that CPUs running my code have killed people. (router manufacturer, def did not five off obvious "we're gonna kill peeps" vibes)

I do agree that devs should absolutely think more about their impact. Far too many people dead set on the engineering, almost nobody asks if they *should*.

all of that aside, what would even be the solution? spying on HA users would just bring us back to square one (or worse).

I don't have an answer, just a bunch of frustrating parallels between this and other similar arguments
