How much do you find FOSS important and why? What length do you go to use it over CSS?

I previously didn’t really care but selfhosting has slowly pushed me to really care about my media and data. Moved to Linux, try to prefer FOSS even if some minor function is lost. But considering when it’s not worth it.

For me, it’s that I have 100% control and the devs respect the consumers enough to show they have nothing to hide.

Actually, it was not obvious. CSS is not a term I have heard for proprietary software. Cascading Style Sheets … yes.

I love FOSS because anyone in the world could contribute and make a better software for everyone! only this is the work that could be done worldwide. ( I can’t think of anything else but feel free to tell me if you know)

I will literally use a software that’s way worse just so I don’t have to worry about my data being sold.

Im like this and I totally drank the foss cool aid after hearing stallman talk. But yeah at the end of the day I do things based on usability. Heck I only recently started using linux and I stuck to windows partially do to keeping myself and my wife on the same thing but windows 11 was just to much. I sorta wish I did it earlier to show her how functional it is sooner.

The last three jobs I’ve had were FOSS software companies. I help move organizations large and small off of closed source software.
