I hope you walk the talk and don't use any open-source software.

But regarding your claim about fueling the technology monopolies. In what way is everyone running Windows or OSX because there are no open-source alternatives less a monopoly?

When did I say I'm not using it? I said I'm not contributing to it.

Right, so you use the free fruits of people's hard work.

And then you complain about them and their left-leaning ideology fueling technology monopolies.
