I don't think condescending is the right word here. Can't be sure without knowing your intent, but do you mean something like "should not be so accepting of proprietary firmware"?
- marcodiego 5y agoYes.
- slim 5y agoCondescending is used when you describe someone who thinks he is superior to others.
- marcodiego 5y agoTIL! False cognate. I'm not a native speaker. In Portuguese there is the term "condescendente" which means "indulgent, one who doesn't imposes discipline". What is the equivalent term in English?
- b0afc375b5 5y agoGreedy, perhaps?
- SAI_Peregrinus 5y agoConsiderate or Accepting both work in English.

- TheCoreh 5y agolenient, lax, permissive, accommodating BTW also a Portuguese speaker and this particular false cognate gets me almost every time, but the other way (using it in Portuguese with the English meaning in mind)
- u2c4m6 5y agoYou talk me a new false friend in Spanish, so thank you!
