Edit - for anyone that hasn't noticed, moderators/admins have removed several of my comments and locked the post so new comments can't be added.

I spent over 100k sats on 2 pieces of landfill trash, because of retailers and other websites and random people lying about LoRa mesh protocols being "open source."

The goal was already to spread the word about lies these retailers and other related sites spread, e.g. gaslighting users about end-to-end encryption, but there's no point using the network to spread the word about the lie of being open source. It's a fool's errand, the corporations already scammed my money out of me and they'll just use me to make even more money while I try to tell people to stop wasting the money. There's simply no productive point when it involves spending money on closed source proprietary shit, and lying about being open source just makes it even worse.

So now I have a SenseCap and a Wio Tracker L1 Pro shipping to me for nothing except to scrap for parts like the batteries, and throw the malware transceiver/computer parts in the garbage so nobody can use them to spread this piece of shit malware cult.

Have fun downvoting/removing/banning me, to the majority here moronic enough to side with the scammers even after reading the truth.

I get that you're at the Intel buying level of person

What does that mean? When are we doing level of person now? Am I a greater or lesser level of person than you? Genuinely answer that: am I a greater or lesser level of person than you because I buy intel/amd products?

Anyways, my point was more about Linux still being considered open source.
