Glad someone else said all this so I did not have to. Hats off to you

The older I get the more I fear I am turning into Richard Stallman, but it is absolutely offensive to continually see corporate proprietary freeware binary blobs built from unlicensed sources be confused with Free Open Source Software which is a dramatically higher bar of investment in public good.

You and me both. I always preferred and promoted FLOSS where possible but still had a bit of a pragmatic approach, but now the older I get the more I just want to rip out everything not free (as in freedom) from my life, and/or just go become a goat farmer.

Stallman was right from the beginning, and big tech have proven over and over again that they are incapable of being good citizens.

I'm probably a few more years away from "I'd like to interject for a moment..."
