FSF: Meet the star witness: Your "smart" speaker

From August 23rd by Sidney Fussell

Remember, if you don't control your devices, they can be used to control you, and the smartest thing you can do with "smart" devices is avoid them!

On Saturday 29 August 2020, the annual Debian Developers and

Contributors Conference came to a close.

DebConf20 has been held online for the first time, due to the

coronavirus (COVID-19) disease pandemic.

All of the sessions have been streamed, with a variety of ways of

With more than 850 attendees from 80 different countries and a total of

over 100 event talks, discussion sessions, Birds of a Feather (BoF)
