Have to use Windows for work (I’ve asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification… That’s clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

I have been using the CTT tools before, but Optimizer seems much better, faster and cleaner. And Ameliorated seems still beta, no documentation as CTT said, neither 100% open source. I don’t want to support non-open-souce projects at all. 😞
There is nothing wrong in using and supporting trusted peoples’ work, even if they make closed source wrappers. Ameliorated project and Titus’ scripts are open source. Titus’ EXE GUI wrapper is closed and paywalled, he even livestreams his code and git repo work on Twitch/YouTube.
These people are not money grubber corporations stealing even one bit of data.
Yes, it is wrong to use apps or support people making closed source apps. Closed source will always damage us.
The world is not as black and white, and there is value and space for closed source software. The world runs on it. Advocating for FOSS does not mean it is intelligent to become a cultist.
Nope, the world runs on Open Source, many Closed Sources use Open Source, or they couldn’t exist.
That is false. The world runs on both open and closed source code. Active Directory for example is well known, and is supported by Ubuntu and other corporate distros. MS Office, Photoshop, CorelDraw and numerous video/audio editors are just a few examples.
MS Office, Photoshop, CorelDraw needs libraries and tools that are open source. NO ONE IS GOING TO WRITE A APP FROM 0. XD
And those apps do not make the world run, servers, routers, cars, those essential devices run Linux for example, open source tools with open source libraries. OpenSSH and many security libraries, etc…
Your logic is so bad. You are literally claiming that if someone wrote some code in an open source compiler and/or programming language, it must be open source. I do not even want to argue lol, even as a FOSS privacy advocate.
Your zealous evangelist delusional attitude is why we FOSS advocates are taken less seriously, and Windows/Mac users keep using them.
When did I say that??.. 🤔
I am saying they can use those libraries used by big communities to ensure their essential communications or internal stuff is working properly, they don’t need to write OpenSSH from 0 for example, so they can focus writing their closed source apps code.
