562 <h1>Does the gift you're giving your loved ones put someone else in control?
</h1>
563 <p>The COVID-
19 pandemic has made us more reliant on technology than
564 ever, which is a compelling reason to think carefully about the
565 choices we're making during the gift-giving season. Is that
"smart
566 assistant" smart enough to respect your friend or family member's
567 freedom? Do new gaming consoles like the PlayStation
5 restrict more
568 than they entertain? Does that shiny gadget come at a cost much higher
569 than its price tag?
</p>
570 <p>When we allow
<a href=
"https://gnu.org/proprietary">proprietary software
</a> created by Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google, and countless other companies to handle our basic computing tasks, we put an enormous amount of power in their hands, power which they constantly exploit. It's only through using
<a href=
"https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html">free software
</a>, and
<a href=
"https://ryf.fsf.org">devices running free software
</a>, that we can seize this power back.
</p>
571 <h4>Freedom is the gift that keeps on giving
</h4>
572 <p>Letting your loved ones know that
573 you respect their privacy and freedom too much to cave in for the
574 newest Apple or Google device is a great gift in itself, and one that
575 you can feel good about.

668 <p>Why it's cool: While we're still waiting to get our hands on one, this
669 device looks promising. We're giving it a tentative recommendation
670 because the company has publicly committed to doing the right things
671 for prioritizing user freedom and privacy, and because we

672 <a href=

</a> the operating system it will run.

837 able to run fully free software from top to bottom. Starting with an

1206 <li>Spotify is only one of many offenders when it comes to putting DRM in music: all major streaming services do this, with the support of big record labels.
</li>
1207 <li>In addition to streaming music encumbered by DRM, people who want to use Spotify are required to install additional proprietary software. Even Spotify's client for GNU/Linux relies on proprietary software.
</li>
1208 <li><p>Apple Music is no better, and places heavy restrictions on the music streamed through the platform.

</h5>
1223 <p>In the last year, many people have unfortunately become more dependent on streaming media. But it's important to remember how streaming services can deprive you of important rights.
"Dis-services" like Disney+ and Netflix mandate the use of a hardware-level backdoor called Widevine, giving them permanent access into deep components of your machine.
</p>
1224 <p>Widevine prohibits these services from running on many older devices, leaving families who can't afford a new computer or a new television out in the cold.

1225 <p>Try these video services and sites instead:
</p>
1227 <li>Visit the
<a href=

</a> for free (as in freedom) classic films and art projects.
