Same here, I was lucky to work on a successful project and now have enough money to be independent. I am also going to support free and open software (I actually released some of my code and helped with small pull requests and I am donating

I am also totally against locked black boxes. This hiding and obscuring practice is just preventing learning, repars and inspections. It is a similar problem like Intel ME and closed bios. We use usecure proprietary code, closed unreparabl

"get an iPhone" - what a stupid suggestion. Why do you think it is more secure for god sake? Because Apple told so? The only way to regain control over SW and to prevent spying and data leakage is by using free software, where y
