Too bad :-(

Jeez, guys… You’re a paleontologist or what? That happened centuries ago.

Exactly to that. But I don’t care. Believe what you want. I’ve DeMozillad myself long ago. Couldn’t care less.

Collecting more data to sell them to 3rd parties?

“I really struggle trying to understand the addiction”, was my original statement. The two last words are important.

I’m specifically talking about the video as a medium to share information, and youtube is the worst, as it’s 99% filled with crappy influencer stuff whose only aim is to monetize people’s time.

Well, maybe they’ll get rid of the cookies banners /s.

To each their own, I guess. I prefer written stuff.

TBF, just leaving YouTube would be better. There’s plenty of information out there which don’t need some glorified video hosting platform (books, blogs, wikis and so oh). I really struggle trying to understand people’s addiction to YT…

What about open sourcing stuff, instead of making it just “unsupported”?

That was a shitty reply with paternalistic attitude. The kind of fundamentalist attitude which alienates people from some communities. I use Linux and FOSS exclusively since decades, but if I happily fire up a VM to use some CS software that is only available for Windows, if that allows me to do my job better or faster. I don’t need some stranger in the internet telling me that my workflow is broken because of “principles”. These people better stay in my block list.

You seem to wanting to school me about what my preference should be. I’ll happily block you. Bye.

I think OP means that one shouldn’t boycott FOSS projects just because they are from USA. That said, I don’t like to be told what I have to do and don’t agree to “FOSS projects, which should always be preferred to corporate software”. My pc, my LAN, my rules.
