i'm grateful to rely on local FOSS tech during internet/mobile outages โ๏ธ
it proves you don't need to reject smart tech, just reject dumb corporations
when others couldn't turn on their cloud-controlled lights with alexa, i was still able to control my devices & lights through #HomeAssistant ๐ก
proprietary bible apps were not loading, but my offline downloaded copy worked the same as it always will โ๏ธ
my notes/todo lists, project, and art files continued to sync across my devices, thanks to locally-hosted WebDAV, gitea, syncthing, and LocalSend ๐โ
my creation apps (libreoffice, krita, blender, neovim, etc) are _NEVER_ going to require an internet connection to work ๐จ๐๐

don't let an app deciding it needs to "phone home" or "verify the installation" stop you from drawing, coding, or writing
choose FOSS
drop the software, not the activity.
