    I’m not sure but I’m done believing that tech enhancements pushed at me benefit me.

      That response, especially given that this is something that’s entirely offline and optional, is probably the closest we’re going to get to you admitting that you just want to be negative about this rather than actually having a criticism of it.

        I agree. I have spent years in tech. And I have worked trusted and advocated but in the last 5 years or so it’s changed. And I trust little of it. It’s not the tech, it’s the people it’s in the hands of. I am at the point of cynic now and I’ll stay on that side until I see otherwise. Is that wrong?

          I’m just making it clear that you don’t have any actual criticisms of this application and haven’t addressed it when people point out that:

          • It’s fully offline (so your “services” claim is false)
          • It’s GPLv3 licensed (so we can audit and verify what it’s doing)
          • This is an opt-in accessibility feature (so it’s not being “pushed” on anyone)

          You’re welcome to remain belligerent. I’m not here to change your mind.
