  Honestly, I have more free and open source apps and programs on my PC and phone than not because the exact opposite of this meme has been my experience.

  Open source is the free bicycle that will get you to the coffee shop. Priority software is the SUV you lease to do the same.

    I like to tell people “have fun staying poor” when they don’t use open source money.

      I’m willing to bet the poster isn’t aware just about every website they visit is built on an open source stack.

  Because you are the product, not the software that you use.

  I think a lot of paid commercial software is significantly better than FLOSS

  Slightly?

  Also, let’s say it’s truly just slightly, how long was it way worse before it became slightly worse?
