     @cowanon the windows installation process
     
     i'd also add a "citation needed" to finding up-to-date software in linux package sources outside of maybe arch linux

     @iska @ic3l9 @lina @cowanon They’re just going to keep redefining the goalposts. Next it will be “name one program that has the exact same menu layout and 100% identical functionality to this nonfree one! :retarded_frog:”

     @ic3l9 @lina @cowanon
     Name the good nonfree programs that lack free replacements.
     Gaming is a meme.

     @lina @cowanon no, there is a lot of application software available exclusively on windows, without viable "libre" alternatives. if you think this is false you are in denial.

     That's the "open source" line of thinking.
     Free software demands replacements rather than mere alternatives.
     Even if there is some proprietary software only available on windows, the fact that such is proprietary is more than enough reason to reject such poisoned convenience and do a task some other way until a free replacement is available.

     @ic3l9 >i'll stop using compound curves in CAD for political reasons and make everything from linear extrusions of straights and circular arcs? not feasible tbh
     This has no relevance at all.
     It isn't a point even, as there are a few free software CADs that can do compound curves.
     
     Since you seem to have trouble understanding, I'll simplify it:
     >Oh boy, there's a convenient feature in this piece of proprietary software now available! It's even available gratis to sweeten the deal!
     The options;
     - Be a proprietary cuck - "It's okay, it's not like I needed freedom anyway" <-- You are here.
     - Don't to run the software - "That feature is convenient, but I value my freedom more, I'll find out how to complete such task another way".
     - Add a similar feature to similar free software - "I'll help my neighbor by implementing this".
     - Pay someone to add a similar feature to similar free software - "It cost me some money, but I got the feature I wanted and I helped by neighbour".
     
     All these options and you always choose to be a cuck.
