With anti-libre software, we are not users, we are used.

This kind of reply is never convincing so, rather than promote proprietary software, here's the real answer:
You are likely not hired to remove Windows, so why give them extra work for free?
Use Tor Browser. Don't waste your life on micro-optimisation. You will get a lot more privacy with stuff like getting all your friends on Signal/SimpleX, etc.
Great seeing far more sensible comments here compared with c/technology
Always suprising to see more on a whistle blower than the guys that actually did the war crime.
Agreed, it's everywhere on these political posts.
No ones begging for your attention.
You won't distract us.
Who commented first? Stop trolling.
Disinformation, stop trying to brainwash us. Again, when have you ever exposed a US war crime?
Who wrote an essay complaining?
Like you would do any better.
Do they really think this hides the US kills its own people but they call him the traitor?
Lemmy is libre software. Don't want to get abused? Keep Lemmy libre.
Lemmy is software anyone can develop and everyone controls, libre software, which makes it very hard for Lemmy to abuse us. To keep it this way, share the ideas of software freedom.
- Always check its software license: always check it is libre software (video guide here).
- Also avoid service as a software substitute.
- Libre software plus decentralisation [federation or peer-to-peer] is ideal.
- Remember, 'open source' misses the point.
If we focus on warning against individual apps, we must repeat our time and effort everytime new malware appears. So, target a common property: its software license.
With proprietary software, we are not the user, we are the used.
Let's leave [proprietary] Discord too
Discord blocks 3rd-party apps. Discord is not libre software.
