Yes exactly!

Or Commodore 64 vs Apple //e vs IBM PC. Unix System V vs BSD vs VAX/VMS. Gawd. I'm long past those days.

I'm a Linux user. Hopefully not too annoying lol. Also a Mac and Windows user. Because they're tools and I find 'em useful for different things.

I would be very, very surprised if the people getting bent out of shape about an app charging money and/or displaying ads use a flip phone or Linux/bsd phone and no closed source anything. (Car? Network router? Fridge? Television? Seriously? There's closed source firmware in so many things...)

If I am wrong I will eat crow but... Also how? That seems like unhinged religious zealotry.

I don't care for loss of privacy and big corps fucking everyone. But hey I run pihole and ublock. It's not perfect but I have too many other far more important priorities, like friends, family, enjoying life, work, etc. to go all jihad against all closed source software.

I remember being all absolutist and dogmatic in my thinking when I was in my 20s. I gained perspective and chilled in the last 30 years.
