  • Well, regarding apps I use, they typically have professional testers who find bugs and who are paid full-time to fix them. Interoperability and protocols are respected differently by different projects by FOSS and non-FOSS alike, and they aren’t needed for many apps.

    Something suggests me we’re not going to agree, though. I’d appreciate if you further counter my points, but I’m likely not going to agree with you in that case. So, don’t waste your energy.


  • So, regarding convenience, sadly my apps are mostly non-FOSS. These non-FOSS devs have the advantage that they can see the source code of their FOSS alternatives. They also have FAR more workforce. So, we’ll probably never reach the point where general FOSS is superior to closed source software.

    The area that’s primarily FOSS to me is coding. With ChatGPT it’s got damn easy to build daily productivity tools that meet one’s specific needs.

    Security is also generally better with FOSS, but, yeah, I admit that the UI is less convenient than the proprietary ones…
