The system I have is to assume that all software is libre. Then if I’m naming something that is proprietary I mention it.
"GNU Emacs is a program designed to be an multipurpose extensible interface to information/text manipulation. It is published by the GNU Project under a copyleft license.
"VSCode is a proprietary program released by Microsoft that is a multi-language code editor extended via plugins. Microsoft profits off of VSCode’s product network effect to sell proprietary plugins and subscription services. There is VSCodium as the de-blobbed implementation of VSCode published under a no-rights permissive license. This means that users contributing to codium will also be benefitting VSCode in turn, exposing the injustice of permissive licenses.
Microsoft’s massive user share on code editing leads to a ripple effect of advertising other proprietary products and also teaches users that proprietary software can be tolerated if it is a useful tool"
No need to juggle between “free vs open vs libre vs Foss etc”
NixOS too
What’s the issue with NixOS? Always hear it mentioned here and there and never heard anything bad about it

Lots of chuds who want to turn nixos into a military corpo farm. They are also “apolitical” libs and cishet men are massively overrepresented.
Oh well, so it’s yet another Open Source project filled with chuds, that sucks
Who knew that “open source,” a term designed to appeal to capitalists that depoliticizes the struggle would attract chuds and libs.
Its almost like language and politics matter, and that techbros should be shot on sight.
You’re completely right, I tend to refer to it as FOSS or FLOSS, but I slipped up there lol.
LMAOOOOO

That’s a good way of going about it, I’ll keep that in mind, thanks!
I’d say it’s an ongoing struggle but it’s not going great right now.
I’m not sure if the call to cede the community spaces to the chuds is actually a good idea.
If that’s the case I have to agree, but I don’t know how bad it is in there to say if it is worth people’s time and effort.
