Is it really worth it to sacrifice convenience for freedom and use free software out of principle?
No, most free software is dogshit.

It is easier to tell those of which have no principles: they usually use non-free software.
>>55274140
No just pirate unfree software.
It's free but it's isn't shit.
>>55274140
Well in the end it's all about what you value more.

Wrong "free".
>>55274140
Yes. Though that principle generally isn't free software itself, usually, it's more often that free software is the only way I can get something that respects my privacy.
>>55274140
For me it's all about the choice it let's me have. Free software might not always be the best but someone cared when they made it. There's a community that the world would be a worse place if it lost.

This. You probably wouldn't care about true freedom unless you were capable of programming yourself, which I'm not.

Secondary. Customization is not as possible under nonfree software.
>>55274140
No, using what works is most important.
