GNU/Jihad against "FOSS"!!!

>proprietary software isn't inherently evil in my humble opinion
Your opinion is wrong, proprietary software is evil incarnate.

Imagine a chef that prepares food.
This chef refuses to tell you the recipe and usually even what ingredients he uses - because the food is proprietary.
If you're allergic to anything, or prefer it without the salt - too bad.

Half the time the chef slips in poison - usually not enough to kill you, but enough to cause you harm.

With hard work, you can reverse engineer the food to figure out what ingredients the food is made out of and if it's poisoned - but the potential poisoner often demands that you agree to not reverse engineer, so you don't find out which ingredients he uses.


You can keep eating the food with blind faith in the chef and get poisoned 50-100% of the time, or you can stop being a sucker and go to GNU/Cafe and get some decent food that is checked to be free of poison.

>#Steam is great! So are #Vivaldi, #GOG, #inSync, #Plex, #Authy
Those programs are great at taking the users freedom and being proprietary malware.

Sure they're really convenient, but only a fool values convenience above all else.


>In the end I'm for choice, whatever floats your boat.
Where did I say I'm going to stop you from shooting your foot?

I'm here recommending that you stop shooting your feet, but you're telling me you like shooting your feet?
