Because I use what's best instead of restricting myself to free software

Because for a long time I didn't know better and now the inertia my current setup has is pretty hard to defeat. I'll get there, in time.

Because sometimes the free alternatives don't completely suit my needs. Sadly.

kys desu senpai.
it's because of sheep like you this world is shit

Because after spending an entire afternoon trying to configure a fucking graphics card and only having the open-source drivers work I came to the startling conclusion that I was neither using free software for privacy nor for personal liberty, but rather because I'd been meme cucked by /g/.

sometimes closed source alternatives are better
for example: 4chan > reddit

...that's the only example I got, unless you also want to throw AAA games and shit like nvidia blobs in there

there's that, and when you're vehemently against closed source to the point of not using, not knowing anything about what they got to offer, you are limiting and setting boundaries for yourself

I'd love to live in an open source world, but I don't. So the best thing I can do for myself is pluck the greatest things they came up with and use/exploit the shit out of them

FOSS wins again.
