The false equivalency is not that the two aren’t comparable products, the false equivalency is that they have those problems at similar rates, because they don’t.
My reasoning is experience. FOSS has this reputation among most people. Only people who are willfully ignorant can’t see it. I could give you examples all day but it’d just be cherry-picking and I’m sure you would remain unswayed. Feel free to ignore me, I’m just saying what it is.
I am genuinely curious why you think people pay money for worse software though…
That was my entire point. The person I was originally replying to seemed to suggest exactly that.
Source? Every commenter here disagrees with you, so it seems like your wild claim is not supported by any evidence.
Oh, well if all 2 of you disagree with me, that must mean that I’m wrong and not that you want to lie about it so that more people will use FOSS.
It’s actually 5 people vs. you right now, and anyone can count to confirm it. Calling out the fact that you have produced zero evidence for your wild claims is not “wanting to lie”, it’s just stating what any observer can see.
You said that your “reasoning is experience”, so let this conversation be an experience that challenges your perception of what others think about FOSS.
It isn’t.
You really gotta quit with the sealioning. I’ve already explained this several times. I’m not doing it again.
I’ll do that but the cards are still stacked against you.
The 5 people who disagree with you:
And, no, you making baseless assertions while attacking everyone who disagrees with you does not count as evidence.
I haven’t “attacked” anyone. Just stated that they’re wilfully ignorant, which is true. However if when you were looking around for all of those comments you were paying attention, you would’ve seen people throwing out extremely unnecessary and vulgar personal attacks at me.
You keep asking me for evidence, and I keep telling you I don’t have any. I’m not writing a fucking college dissertation, it’s an internet comment. Since this conversation is going nowhere, and since you continue to sealion me with this nonsense after I’ve asked you to stop several times, you’re going to be blocked as well. Have a nice evening.
That’s not what a false equivalency is, but ok.
Most people don’t have any clue what FOSS is. They just want software, and if its free and works, they’ll like it.
I provided two reasons in my post. Superior marketing and professional support.
Ok, but thats not what you went on to say.
You are not arguing in good faith, I don’t care to continue going in circles.
