Free shit is 95% inferior to nonfree ones

Like opencamera on Google Play, freetards praise it, it has 20000 useless option but its slow, make bad pictures and looks horrible

*BSD > Linux

OBS Studio (GPL) > Fraps, XSplit, ..
Krita (GPL) > Paint Tool SAI, Manga Studio
qBittorrent (GPL) > uTorrent
Godot Engine (MIT) > Unity Engine

And desu, most of the free choices are better anyway (Krita and OBS in particular are just way better than their commercial alternatives).

I was going to put "Aseprite" to the list but the author changed from GPL to an EULA, so fuck that.

100% of free software is 100% superior to 100% of nonfree software because it respects it's user's fundamental property rights

Nah they are shit thats why people use nonfree stuff and not free stuff

Eating dogshit in the park is free but people prefer food which costs money

pd and max were originally written by the same guy
pd came after
he learned from max and saw ways he could improve it
including the horrible employment licensing bullshit he ended up losing the rights to max over
it's really an interesting example of all of these things
pd is objectively an improvement, but because the devs and community care more about how it works and what it does than how it looks, the general public sees it as garbage
max looks beautiful and is commercialized and therefor is perceived as better, even though the entire community is just a bunch of youtube ego wankers
and it's wrong to say it has more, you just haven't delved far enough

fact: proprietary software made by people looking to make money has raised the bar

if it weren't for Macintosh or Windows, you wouldn't have user friendly desktops in Linux

if it weren't for Lotus 123, corel wordperfect
you wouldn't have good office software

if it wasn't for Burger Time
you wouldn't have burgerspace

if you took money/incentive to make a good product out of the equation, our computers would be giant house-sized pocket calculators and these 2nd rate, knockoff freetard programs /g/ is memingly pretending are good (LibreOffice, GIMP etc) wouldn't even fucking exist because the REAL programs they are RIPPING OFF wouldn't exist

Saying LibreOffice wouldn't have existed how it does had MicrosoftOffice never existed how it does, is one thing.
Saying that something akin to modern wysiwyg word processors would have never even been able to come into existence had it not been for Microsoft is completely daft.

>>57864625
let's cut the theoretical shit altogether then, and somebody direct me to an open source program that has "showed us the way" for anything. You know, an open source program that was the first of its kind/trailblazer/not just building on or improving an idea established and created by people driven by making money

AssaultCube. It's basically free counter strike.

Except it's faster, and the install was like 70MB although the sound and graphics and gun mechanics are basically the same (as CS:source).

Always several active servers too.
