I got into free and open source software, you can take an idea about it from fsf by watching the video https://www.fsf.org/about/what-is-free-software

So, I have been in this rabbit hole for years now. And I convinced myself that using non-free software is haram and I shouldn't do it, however when I looked it up I found no discussion about it In Muslim communities anywhere, no fatwas about it. But how can that be, don't anyone else see big tech companies evil? Shouldn't Muslims use these free as in freedom software instead of Google and Facebook products? Shouldn't products by Facebook, openai and Microsoft and the rest of them be haram with existence of free alternatives that respect user privacy and freedom? Why there's no discussion about it at all?

as coulda you, but you chose this poseur drivel and also chose not to shit on the bozo. fuck them and anyone bringing that voodoo shit in here.

shitting on the head on any and all religions is the obligation of any thinking and moral individual; don't care one bit what fucko jerks off to, they are all the same to me.
