Meta Muse Gadgets open-source hardware

The audacity to call it generosity when the real prize is a tighter hold on how people relate to Meta. Handing out 5,000 Home Links isn't charity, it reads as bait designed to pull users deeper into the ecosystem. Muse becomes something you physically touch once it's built on a Raspberry Pi or ESP32, complete with sensors and buttons, rather than just another app on a screen. That shift from software to hardware is exactly what makes the open-source move feel like a reach play, not a gift.
