>gay sex is more popular than open source and free software combined
2016
wow what a big surprise
That's not a fair assessment, considering everyone who likes FOSS also likes gay sex.
>free software interest down by 75% over the last decade
What went wrong?
The Jews.
everyone caring about free software stopped using google because it doesn't respect your freedoms
Whats the difference?
Smartphones.
Remember in 2006 when you were 12 and learned about "freeware" so whenever you needed software to do "x" you put in "free software x"
Thats why there is so many searches for free software. Today however, nobody really does this anymore.
>implying half the internet doesn't exist only for sexual purposes
that doesn't explain why open source has seen a similar decline
The number of interent users have grown exponentially the past 10 years. Back then it was still a "nerdy" thing, reduced to 1st world countries; nowadays every normie from every country spends multiple hours in the internet
>implying gay sex isn't better than shitty free software
Ease of piracy is my guess
Ahh but see it is much more stable of a decline, only a few percent. My guess there would be that open source was the NEW INNOVASHUN IN TECHNOLOGY and was going to be the future in the early 2000's, so people looked it up like "Big data", but eventually everyone realized websites will be hosted on linux, companies on windows, like it always has and will be, and the search died down.
really makes you twink...........
People tried free software and realised how fucking terrible all of it is.
Why waste your time with the Fisher-Price knockoff of real software when you could just use the real software?
Linux users have been exposed as lying nationalist hypocrites over and over and over again.
thats only because you are such a huge faggot
estrogen and fluoride in water
Really fires up those neurons.
why is there a spike in gay sex suspiciously close to the start of the big bang theory
>fluoride in water
i genuinly dont see why governments add it to water. Tooth decay is caused by not brushing your teeth and eating way too much sugary shit. Maybe if people stopped being lardasses with their eating habits. Targeting the symptom not the cause
Sup Forums pls leave
People back then didn't think of it as free in freedom. You had to pay for lots of stuff back then so people were looking for free alternatives.
