I'm lazy.

This. I also don't want to go through all the fucking trouble of making the switch to GNU+Linux and avoiding my contact with the botnet.

Because it's higher quality and there's no proof of the claimed benefits of opensource - namely, there's no proof opensource is botnet-free, and in actuality, there's plenty of evidence the NSA has just as much vulns available on opensource software as it has on proprietary software.

>Open source
Listen to what Stallman has to say about it.

Only proprietary software I use is Steam and various video games.

>>59655630
Are you retarded? The proof is the code. If you're too stupid to read the code, you're too stupid to comment about benefits or downsides to free software.

>The proof is the code.
You just denied decades of history. The facts contradict you, open sores is full of vulnerabilities.

>bad code has security vulnerabilities
wawo anon ur smart

>>59655630
The NSA vulnerabilities are kinda like the less important bit, frankly. I'd like to avoid it but there are worse things than a foreign intelligence group being able to breach my security if they really want to.

Its hard to use proprietary software without the software openly being a botnet in itself. They openly collect data, they restrict what you can do with the software, etc. Free and open source software tends to do less of that crap.

>>59655311
I'm not going to restrict myself based on whether or not I can view the source code, I'm going to use whatever's best.

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
