I didn't used to be a "militant" #FOSS user, but I've been bitten too many times by companies with #proprietarysoftware. For example, #Reason DAW, #Zbrush - both companies that decided to say fuck you to perpetual licenses. Now, I try to avoid any proprietary application. I recently went looking for a good notes app and everyone loves #Obsidian. As soon as I saw it was closed source, I noped out and settled on #Joplin. These companies will eventually fuck over customers so I won't waste my time.
Ich gehe sogar so weit, dass unter Open-Source Software schneller Fehler korrigiert wird als bei geschlossene und teure Software, da ausgegangen wird dass Unsichtbarkeit nützt.
»Studie: Proprietäre Software kann nicht sicherer sein als Open-Source«
@PJDavidson excellent infographic! Great reminder to say fuck #Adobe and its freedom-infringing bullshit.
Out of all the #proprietarysoftware companies, it's the single worst one in terms of greed, control-thirst and lock-in, and yet nobody seems to be pointing them out on this.
Never forget "Flash for Linux," which they stopped developing thinking it would hurt us, but HTML5 crushed it. Then, after it clearly became useless, they resumed its development.
