You know what I realize after a decade of linux and subsisting off FOSS only? That childhood is idolizing RMS and adulthood is realizing Ballmer was right. Open source is pure communist cancer.
Just like how there can be no ethical consumption under capitalism there is no true FOSS under capitalism. People who contribute to open source are being paid and fed by their day jobs working on proprietary code, and they take that work experience they stole from their employers and redistribute it in open source. Half of a dev's knowledge comes their courses in private universities and the other half come from their FOR PROFIT employers, all of which operate under capitalism.
Ever think about why open source software has such fucking shit UI and industry software doesn't? Because good design elements and new feature sets aren't born in a vacuum, they are fueled and motivated by the spirit of competition in a capitalist society. Except every time Adobe or some other proprietary software comes up with a new idea to outcompete their rivals, the FOSStards steal it for free, sometimes employing black box reverse engineering.They are parasites that bite the hand that feeds them.
If you think freetard shit like GIMP and Calibre have bad design now just see what they'll be like in a society with no proprietary software and they have nobody to mooch off of. They'll be completely unuseable.
TL:DR
FOSS isn't powered by pure codemonkey autism, good will, and free time like you think. It be completely unusable without leeching off of proprietary software. You are all hypocrites. RMS may or may not have had connections to Epstein.
