My home _is_ a Linux smart home: It has a computer running
Linux in it, connected to the Internet.

Here we see the merchants trying to take over Linux again:

"It isn't enough to just have a computer, you have to buy all
this garbage and turn your house into an electronic nightmare."

We are supposed to be saving the planet, not finding more reasons
to build ugly factories and mines to trash it further, in order
to feebly imitate some silly science fiction show on the boob
tube.

So that we can become bloated slugs who don't do anything but
sit in Laz-E-Boys and push buttons.

Technology is a wonderful thing. The abuse of technology is
an ugly thing.

It's threatening all life on Earth, in fact.
