@abe GNU/Jihad against "open source"!; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html

>like proprietary software isn't inherently bad.
Most proprietary malware is functionally utter garbage, but there are a few examples of proprietary programs where the malware author(s) are actually competent - but that isn't a good thing, as it's like having handcuffs that are perfectly lubed and balanced with a long chain such that you can barely notice the handcuffs - thus many suckers are conned into surrendering their freedom - but all of them are still handcuffed.


Free software in its initial stages of development may have major issues and sometimes there is proprietary sabotage to work around, but as soon as serious development work is carried out, every single one of such programs always ends up functionally superior to proprietary software.
