    Linux includes binary blobs, obfuscated code, and code released under proprietary licenses, which makes it partially proprietary software and therefore not completely free. Unfortunately, postmarketOS uses this kernel, which means it cannot be considered free software, as it violates freedom 1. Additionally, it does not comply with the definition of open source, as it does not respect its second principle. Furthermore, postmarketOS also includes proprietary applications, such as Firefox, and encourages users to install more applications of this type.

    I wisely choose not to pay hundreds of copper ingots for a pocket-sized surveillance and tracking device. However, if you want to partially free such a device, you should install the only free Android distribution, which is Replicant, and not a BusyBox/Linux distribution, which is not free software and also not source-available (making it not open source) but rather proprietary malware that attacks the user with black boxes, opaque platforms, and dark patterns.

    The Church of ED is fine as long as they glorify a free ED and impose penance on the use of a proprietary ED.

    You are confusing similar words and synonyms. A "replacement" and an "alternative" are not synonyms. "Replacement" refers to the action of substituting something for another thing, that is, putting something new in place of something that is no longer used or has been removed. "Alternative," on the other hand, refers to an option or possibility among several. It does not necessarily imply that one option replaces another, but rather that it is presented as a different option.

    Why would you want slavery to be an option? Freedom demands the extermination of proprietary software, not its acceptance as alternatives.

    Both are free software that complement each other and coexist rather than compete. Primarily because GIMP is designed for image manipulation, whereas Krita is tailored for painting.

    >I've noticed a lot of proprietary rot in Wikipedia, but when you check the sources, the sources aren't rotted and someone else has put their proprietary opinion in
    Indeed. I have read several times in the discussions on Wikipedia about articles related to free software that the use of the term "GNU/Linux" to refer to the GNU operating system is, at least, a debatable topic. It is argued that the "neutral term Linux" should be used to refer to the operating system, as otherwise it could be interpreted as taking sides. I suppose and hope that this proprietary opinion comes from the same proprietary idiot.

    They sometimes just blatantly lie. For example, they use photographs of foods in articles that do not correspond to the same products (e.g., a photo of a corndog in an article about a panchuque). Although the panchuque can be considered a variation of a corndog, the caption of the photograph states "a panchuque".

    Instead of handwriting letters, you can continue using your e-mail and protect it with GnuPG. GPG allows you to encrypt your messages so that only the intended recipient can read them. This way, you can maintain the privacy of your communications without being forced to resort to analog methods.
    https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org

    If you are looking for a way to communicate synchronously and in a freedom-respecting manner, XMPP is the ideal option. This protocol is federated and decentralized, allowing you to choose from multiple servers and ensuring interoperability between users on different servers. You also have the option to create your own server.

    You can encrypt your conversations using GnuPG (XEP-0373) or OMEMO (XEP-0384). XMPP also offers multi-user chat rooms.

    For Android, I recommend the Conversations client, which is very user-friendly. Conversations are automatically encrypted with OMEMO by default. As for GNU, there is a variety of clients available, including comprehensive options like Gajim and command-line clients like Profanity.

    The problem comes from the government, not from free software. The requirement to use proprietary software to file taxes is a state-imposed restriction, not a technical limitation of free software. That said, there is no need to create an operating system from scratch, as without this restriction, a GNU tool running on the GNU operating system could be used to file taxes without running proprietary software.

    The government wants you to use proprietary software. Nothing new again.

    >You are ideological to the point of foolishness. A true double think; that you are more free because you can't install software. I have the freedom to easily install practically any software.
    First, let's clarify the terms, because if everyone interprets them however they want, the debate loses its meaning.

    Libertad, from the Latin libertas, derives from liber, meaning "a free person" in opposition to a slave. From this root, we understand that freedom involves not being subject to the will of another. This is how "freedom" is understood in my language. I’m not familiar with the ἐτυμολογία of "freedom", and if its meaning differs significantly, I’d be curious to learn about this novel concept of libertas. However, from what I can tell, both terms seem to point to the same idea: being free, in contrast to the slave, that is, to someone who is not the master of themselves.

    Now, if freedom is the ability to be the master of oneself, a question arises:

    Is someone more free if they can sell themselves into slavery than someone who cannot?

    At first glance, it seems like they are, since the former has the "freedom" to choose their own slavery. But if we look deeper, we see that once they make that choice, they stop being the master of themselves and thus lose their freedom.

    The paradox is clear: the act of giving up freedom, in itself, destroys freedom. Therefore, someone who cannot sell themselves into slavery is ultimately freer, because their freedom does not depend on a choice that could nullify it.

    This concept is universal and applies to software as well. As Richard Stallman says:

    "With software, either the users control the program or the program controls the users".

    A proprietary software has an owner. Evidently, that owner is not you. With free software, however, you own a copy of the program, with the ability to study, modify, and share it. If software is the tool you use to interact with your computer, then whoever controls the software controls your tool. And if your tool is under someone else’s control, your freedom within that environment is as well. The difference is clear: having the option to install any software is not freedom if, by doing so, you lose control over what it does to your computer. Just like the slave who chose their master, the user who chooses proprietary software surrenders their freedom in exchange for convenience.

    >If you want privacy, you want to use Tor Browser
    You should also disable JavaScript, do not load custom fonts, enable tracking protection, isolate requests to first-party domains, spoof referers, and block third-party requests. Make sure Geolocation and WebGL are disabled.

    Remember that the WWW is extremely vulnerable. Even CSS can pose a risk. Disabling JavaScript removes many threats, but HTML and CSS can still be exploited in browser-targeted attacks.
