Just don't use anything proprietary like Sync or Connect

Just don't buy crapple

Curse her

Or just use ubloco origin with firefox. Always worked for me

That's a very conservative take

There are browser extensions like KeepassXC

Doesn't change the fact they're annoyed every time they need to block a new person. And there will always be new FOSS enthusiasts, especially on this platform

If you can read you can realize that OP is being alienated by the lack of other topics, not by Linux.

Just use Monero

I obviously mean free as in freedom. Also, normal money (fiat) also has no inherit value. But that one can be controlled by the government

Okay, Linux phones will be the absolute freedom and make Android obsolete. Once the phones are mature enough

I'm thinking about pure Android which is open source. I could've written that better..

I don't think restriction in society IRL is comparable to digital restriction. But we don't have to agree.

Yes, diversity is good. Talking about FOSS is also good.

I don't think the conversations about FOSS take room away from other topics, they can coexist. So let's aim for bringing in more diverse topics instead of turning down FOSS topics

Well the sun and your cells aren't controlled by anyone, there is no one taking your choices away and profitting from that.

I see your point with offline games, I also wouldn't consider them as malware.

I had regular programs in mind you use on a pc or smartphone

Having reason to stay on this platform is completely dependent on wanting the advantages of FOSS. Of course people like to talk about FOSS here.

If there is another point in this thread I don't see it

No one is allowed to change and fix it but the developer, thus you are harmed by being dependent on the will and motivations of the dev. Increasing dependence is always malus

I'm very interested in the secrets storage. Hopefully that includes integrating programs with GNOME Secrets, especially firefox

Fedora IS the most modern distro. First to adopt pipewire, systemd, enables flatpaks by default and btrfs. Probably other things I don't know. Being first is one of their core goals

You're not wrong. But you are talking about the extreme who won't use anything non-FOSS. In general, it is fair to say that all proprietary software is malware.
