  • While aosp with microg is a step into the right direction, it’s not Google free. Most android code is made by Google and streamed to aosp.

    So you think people must only use software made by nice guys but you can use hardware, services, books, movies, etc. from whoever? What makes software so special?

    You’re not hosting a lemmy instance but here we adding content, and therefore value, to the platform. I don’t host hyprland either, I am leeching off the entire devs work for zero dollars. Does that make it okay now?

    I give more importance to qualities like open source, safety, privacy and performance other than who supports trump or not.

    I agree with the sentiment of supporting nice folks, especially in the FOSS ecosystem.

    What OS are you going to use on your Smartphone if you remove software from Google and Apple? What VR headset are you going to use? What telecom are you going to use? Are you only going to shop in local food markets? Lemmy’s creators are also biggots, yet here we are…

    I financially support projects and people I like, but I use whatever software I enjoy using. FOSS, closed source, made by a nice guy, bad guy. If I feel my experience is good I’ll use that, if something better appears along the way I’ll move on. I don’t want to be a cop and background check the political views of whoever created all the software, hardware, services, movies, books, etc I use. I’d do nothing else with my life.
