What can we do to help normies understand?

shoot yourself in the head

shitpost more

get into the FB, google, or NSA database.

leak all the info on everyone.

Make it more profitable to use the free stuff.

Good luck.

Free software is technically more profitable than proprietary software. Freedom applies to economics too. Businesses can't make money when they don't have any freedom.

Fuck off commie scum.

How am I a commie user?

shoot yourself in the head

realise people who use proprietary software are mere pigs in human clothing and should by treated as such, eradicate this filth!

What free software has made more money than Microsoft?

okay

all other businesses combined that run all their servers on GNU/Linux or BSD

Oh, so you have no actual data and are just making shit up. Gotcha. You can go look up how much money Microsoft makes though. That's a real number that exists.

where? please provide this data, thanks, and it should be the exact amount of money they make from proprietary licensing, it can't just be GP taken from an SEC filing

Have you tried Wikipedia or googling "How much revenue does Microsoft make" or anything?

no, neither of those are reputable sources

develop free software and donate

free software is largely shitty. just pirate paid software, you bozos

Use proprietary software to shill and sprear free software like i do.

Comrade.

>>can't play any of the latest video games

You can, RMS said it was okay for games since he considers it to be a form of art

1) No he didn't
2) Even if he did, I wouldn't think it was okay. Everything that is cancerous about current videogames is caused by proprietary software (i.e. esports, pay-to-win garbage, console exclusives, DRM, the same AAA titles getting cloned every year, etc)
