Watch the video in her post associated with this for better context. Her pause on this does not seem to be a bad thing.

This is an interesting take. What about a summary bot that can post article contents, cleaned up, from behind the wall?
Or: a bot that would post a web archive link, instead, to preserve privacy? Some instances take a similar approach to YouTube links by having a bot post Piped links.
Recommendations to purchase a smart TV but never connect it to a network are futile, as well. Just like Amazon devices, smart TVs will find an open SSID and then phone home for updates without your knowledge.
My recommendation, when these kind of topics come up, is: either exchange your smart TV for a dumb one, or go to an electronics repair shop to have a board or two exchanged (depending on the make and model, older dumb components may be direct-ish replacements for smart ones).
EDIT: Another option? Try a projector! I was looking for dumb TV options online after writing up this comment, and someone on an old Reddit post recommended it. Great idea.
2nd EDIT: Someone else also recommended buying digital signage, another solid dumb display option.
Think if we dried them off with a towel or something, they'd still be good? I have a towel somewhere. Hold on.
AROOOOOO BROTHER THE SWITCH IS A VIDYA GAME MASTERPIECE
I have owned the Light Phone 1 and the Light Phone 2 -- both were built with the intent to stay connected in a handful of ways without needing to have a full-spec'd, app-heavy, typically-sized smart phone.
If the intent and the vibe make sense to you, then it is a wonderful approach for a more 'minimalist' device: you can go outdoors, travel, hike, camp, etc., without having a smart phone to pick up and play with. I dig it.
If the intent and vibe don't make sense to you, the Light Phone may not be a good fit.
I really like the device, and use it often enough as a daily driver on weekends. Always glad to see some public attention on it.
Donated! Glad you are branching out, doing something to spur you on, and working to keep yourself encouraged.
