Many people presume that if someone is speaking a different language, they are talking shit. I've regretably been one of them, but sometimes you aren't wrong (RE Chinese people who speak Chinese and the "ABC"s who don't)

Luckily, there is a choice! All google services have a FOSS alternative. If you want to completely degoogle yourself, it's a long process that takes dedication, but any amount is liberating. You are literally taking back your freedom!

I don't see it as a matter of being a bad person or not. When I use GPL, whomever uses my software may be "evil". The difference is whether or not they grant the freedoms I granted them to view, modify, distribute, and distribute modifications to whomever uses their version of the software. It is a requirement to pay it forward. Evil or not.

Do you have additional inside knowledge?

I have set off smoke detectors with a power washer and with saw dust

Single uncle with 2 nieces is where it's at 😉

Hannah Montana Linux. Unironically.

I'm not familiar with all of them, but I know several of them are tools. Isn't it in apple's best interest to open source the tools if people use and improve them, and subsequently it means they get more money from the app store? And if these are the only things they open source, they still have a tight fist on the vast majority of their code base.

While on the subject of apple and FOSS. They may open source some tools, but do they give back to other projects? I.e. does apple push upstream? Substantially less than google and ms. And I would go so far to say almost never.

I've enjoyed Proton for several years, except there ia no Linux desktop client. I intend to test installing the client in a virtual machine running windows, and then use shared folders.

Maybe the destination was more important than the journey

There are some gaps in the numbers. That could be the case. Was it for all of the ones you tried to download?

That's a very good question. It was a few years ago, but it's running right now on my computer on Linux.
