I’m not interested in any software, open source or otherwise.

I have to use software to do the things I want to do. I pick an option that’s good enough, use it, and go about my day.

Fiddling with and thinking about software isn’t a hobby I want any part of.

It feels like you’re asking why people don’t care about their forks and spoons. It’s the food they care about!

>>paulco+Mv1
There is very little danger of your fork advertising you, or your spoon selling your data to the highest bidder. Using non-free software involves a ton of trust in the companies that produce them. Using free software without auditing it also involves trust, but less (because at least it's possible to audit!)

>>bigfis+XP3
I should add that I don’t care at all about my data being sold (to the highest bidder or otherwise). I also have a personal policy of paying for subscriptions (ad-free when possible) when they’re available.

But if something changes and I have to switch then I have to switch.

Not worth worrying about today!

>>paulco+MV3
Even if you pay for it, there's really nothing stopping closed source software from selling your data. Especially Saas offerings.

>>bigfis+wf4
Yes and I literally don’t care if they sell my data.
