I've seen many threads suggesting products but they often don't mention FOSS projects, which should always be preferred to corporate software. With FOSS you are already boycotting capitalism, on either side. Free and Open Source ignores borders and shouldn't be categorized in nationalist terms, no matter where some of the maintainers happen to live.

All amounts to the same thing.

That's what I've been saying while you've been insisting that not choosing is somehow a third option. It's not. It ends up being effectively "didn't pull the lever".

You seem desperate not to make the choice but the responsibility for that lack of choice still lies with you.

I haven't chosen or refused to choose anything. I'm here to talk about your flawed interpretation of the trolley problem, nothing more.

Just as you were in a position to choose trump or Harris. So trump is as much your fault for failing to vote a viable alternative. As if you had chosen to vote him. Just because do not like either option dose not forgive you the effect of not choosing.

It seems you're incapable of staying on topic so I am no longer interested in having a discussion with you.
