   does anybody have the meme where the guy is trying to watch movies with a girl by hooking up his laptop to a tv and she doesn't understand why they don't just use netflix

     @sun As a 20 year old single male, I think it's very hard to find a girl who doesn't worship proprietary software and can understand that I only use free software and do not run proprietary software unless I'm getting paid to do so and it's on someone else's computer.
     
     I've heard girls jokingly ask to "Netflix and chill", but when I tell them I refuse to watch videos "on Netflix", even if it is not being run on my computer, as it is such a threat to freedom that I feel uncomfortable with legitimizing it in that way and ask them what movie(s) I should prepare for mpv playback in 100% freedom, they stop talking to me.
     
     What's worse, if they do stay, they see my 100% freedom computing setups and how all browsers are configured not to run proprietary JavaScript and how youtube.com redirects to an invidious instance and think I'm weird.
     
     Sometimes I get their numbers and I send them a greeting via SMS, also noting that I'm reachable over irc and email, with my gnupg key attached via MMS and instructions how to verify the key and they often mumble something about "green bubbles" and "Android", even though the message was sent via asterisk from Emacs.
     
     I clearly don't use dating sites as those require running proprietary software, plus none of them have any respect for privacy either.
     
     How come it is so hard to find a girl who is indifferent about software freedom, rather than dedicated to never achieving it?
     
     I feel like I'm going to be a wizard and then stay like that forever (but that may not be a bad thing).
