@ooignignoktoo @sun @RustyCrab I'm against "FOSS" with all my might.

It tries to cover up the freedom of free software and it also tries to be neutral between free software and "open source" degeneracy, but it even fails to be neutral, as most people understand it to mean; gratis, source available software.

All free licenses qualify as "open source", but there are some nonfree licenses that qualify as "open source", so really showing preference for "open source" instead of freedom is showing preference for proprietary licenses.

>some people in the FOSS camp get over zealous at people using anything that's a non-FOSS / proprietary software at all.
The infidels in the "FOSS" camp gleefully run a bunch of proprietary software without a second thought.

If you think me making slight recommendations to think twice before installing more proprietary software is zealously, you should see me when I get into the GNU/Zealous zone.

>I respect what FOSS does in being free and in free to modify and view the code and do what you essentially want with it as long as you follow the licensing it's coded under
There are four freedoms - nothing less will do; https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html#four-freedoms

I find it bizarre that people now use the term "coding" to mean programming. For decades, we used the word "coding" for the work of low-level staff in a business programming team. The designer would write a detailed flow chart, then the "coders" would write code to implement the flow chart. This is quite different from what we did and do in the hacker community -- with us, one person designs the program and writes its code as a single activity. When I developed GNU programs, that was programming, but it was definitely not coding.

>there is some software I do like that is non-free (mostly games) and part of freedom is choice and I should be able to use non-free software as well as free software.
You cannot use nonfree software (aside from the sole purpose of getting rid of it) and keep your freedom.

>I wish some of the non-free software I used was more free mostly due to the draconian restrictions on DRM that I do not like at all.
Free software is always free of digital handcuffs, why settle for 324221st rate?
