Home Assistant renames its cloud, slamming Big Tech
Original: Big Tech ruined the cloud, so we're renaming ours
Home Assistant says big tech companies have degraded what 'the cloud' means through subscriptions, lock-in and data harvesting, and is renaming its own cloud service in response. The open-source smart home project is repositioning its offering as a privacy-focused alternative controlled by users rather than large corporations, a move drawing attention and debate among developers and home automation enthusiasts.
Why now: A popular open-source project is publicly rejecting cloud industry norms and renaming its service, prompting discussion about Big Tech's stewardship of the cloud.
