I currently use TinyWall Firewall, it works very well, it’s small/portable, no complaints I even donated to the Dev but I would really prefer open source, also it needs to be user friendly like TinyWall so my non-tech family members can/will use it like they do with TinyWall.
When did I do both? Please quote or link the exact messages as evidence.
You also keep associating the term “evangelical” with me, without citing any evidence.
Also, your privacy example isn’t quite the same here, since you absolutely can have privacy with Windows - just block all Microsoft domains, use a decent firewall/PiHole/adblock/DNS etc. Or just soft air-gap Windows, allowing only selective traffic to pass thru a manually-configured per-app proxy gateway.
On the other hand, someone asking for FOSS apps and claiming they prefer FOSS, whilst still using Windows, is ironic.
Ah so elitism again. People may only value healthy food (as per your own example) if they never ever step inside a McDonald’s. Correct?
If you want I can give you evidence of how a self-righteous person would start a long-winded defense of their own recklessness:
That’s what they call absolution. You almost made it to the finish-line but then decided to stay in your bubble where everything’s cozy. Point being that had you made it, there would still have been no contribution on your part (which really is the only thing people reach out to communities for when they have a question) but at least the story-arc would’ve had a somewhat wholesome conclusion. We live and we grow. (Some of us at least.)
However since you didn’t break any rules (which no one accused you of) why bother with trying to help or having a spine when others point out one’s recklessness? Right? Rules and laws must be the only bar that needs clearing in human interaction.
