    Then what are?

    “Ownership” can mean a lot of different things

    Why wouldn’t the ability to maintain/repair, modify or resell be requirements for ownership?

    Why would they be?

    If “ownership” doesn’t have a unified meaning, then I can interpret “ownership” as the ability to maintain/repair, modify or resell the bought item.

    You can “interpret” whatever meaning you want, that doesn’t make it accurate.

    I haven’t “attacked” anyone. Just stated that they’re wilfully ignorant, which is true. However if when you were looking around for all of those comments you were paying attention, you would’ve seen people throwing out extremely unnecessary and vulgar personal attacks at me.

    You keep asking me for evidence, and I keep telling you I don’t have any. I’m not writing a fucking college dissertation, it’s an internet comment. Since this conversation is going nowhere, and since you continue to sealion me with this nonsense after I’ve asked you to stop several times, you’re going to be blocked as well. Have a nice evening.

    It’s actually 5 people vs. you right now, and anyone can count to confirm it

    It isn’t.

    you have produced zero evidence

    You really gotta quit with the sealioning. I’ve already explained this several times. I’m not doing it again.

    so let this conversation be an experience that challenges your perception of what others think about FOSS.

    I’ll do that but the cards are still stacked against you.

    When you look at any app store, you’ll find that the many apps that are infested with ads, spyware, malware, and dark patterns are pretty much always proprietary

    Right, because FOSS software never has any of that…

    which makes FOSS much higher-quality than proprietary software in general.

    That’s not how that works. There’s plenty of paid software that doesn’t have any of those things.

    Both FOSS and proprietary software can be sold and commercialized with various monetization strategies.

    You’re just arguing pointless semantics now.

    Nobody here believes that Reddit is better on the basis that it is proprietary adware instead of FOSS.

    You’re cherry-picking.

    That difference makes FOSS inherently better for users than proprietary software.

    No. It absolutely does not. Why do I care if you can “use, modify and redistribute” trash software?
