I thought we were talking about FOSS here, though.

I don't "do business" with companies to use FOSS. Whether or not I interact with the devs, and whether or not I give them any data, is independent of my using the software. That disconnect is one of the huge advantages to FOSS.

We’re talking primarily about FOSH, the hardware counterpart. Guess the post is not clear enough.

How do you feel about the rest of the text, and/or site? I’ve appreciated your comments in the past. Thanks.

Ahh, I misunderstood then. You used the acronym FOSS/H, which I interpreted as including both software and hardware.

I like the concept of an "The Ethical Computing Initiative" and am supportive of people adopting that mindset. I think the idea of a unified storefront could be useful for certain audiences. It's not really my cup of tea, but I'm not who you need to be addressing anyway (it would just be preaching to the choir).

Would love to hear any ideas on how to improve the message. So far it has not resonated and we don’t have any feedback as to why.

This particular post seems to have stumbled over the acronym FOSS/H, only chosen because I thought FOSH would not be recognized. I’ll avoid acronyms next time.
