@memdmp @fiore Yes, "FLOSS" is a way to actually be neutral; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/floss-and-foss.html
LOSS quite adequately demonstrates what attaching the cancer of "open source" to free software does.
Yes, they published a cringe article in 2009? And?

@SuperSnekFriend GNU/Jihad against "FOSS" degeneracy!
FREE SOFTWARE!!!!!!

>If the only advice you will give people looking for a particular solution
Certain things are only possible with freedom in an inconvenient way - why would I make something up and claim that such difficult task is easy?

@ube @anokasion >FOSS soluttions like GNU
GNU is free software; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html#four-freedoms
"FOSS" tries to be neutral between corporate bootlicking and free software, but it fails to be neutral; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/floss-and-foss.html
>GNU is the clone of bsd
GNU had nothing to do with BSD - GNU originally cloned Unix - but it has gone so far beyond, Unix and the BSD's are like wet toilet paper to GNU/Car.
The BSD's had to be convinced by GNU and others to stop being completely proprietary and all BSDs are still proprietary.
>i tthink the only gnutardatiton i use is probably bash arrays on rare occasion
You likely use far more fine GNU extensions without realizing it.

@realpetrateal @fiore GNU existed before "open source software" was even a thing - considering that it only existed from 1998.
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html
Only some GNU packages are clones of previous proprietary software and the GNU version at least respects the users freedom unlike the proprietary version and also are always far technically superior and have fine GNU extensions too.
GNU programs are the best in the world.
GNU does not publish "open source" licenses - it publishes free software ones.
"FOSS" didn't even exist until some time after 2002, and that appears to neutral between freedom and corporate bootlicking; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/floss-and-foss.html
GNU is the only nontrivial free software OS in existence, but no more appear, even though GNU provides everything needed to write another free software OS, or free software programs that are meant to be "technically better" than GNU implementations.

@a1ba "open source" degeneracy and "FOSS" degeneracy are different things.
Yes, people don't even know that "open source" was coined as an attack against free software, for the purposes of corporate bootlicking and "FOSS" was later defined to try to be neutral between the freedom of free software and corporate bootlicking - but it fails to be neutral; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/floss-and-foss.html
