Yeah what you posted is literally the opposite of what I guess you were trying to say

Its still worded as if libre software is the problem.

“Closed source proprietary software is bad for security” or something - its the fact the code is unauditable is the issue

Your title says libre software is bad for security

Your post and comments contradict each other - what are you trying to say?

“free” proprietary software bundled with your device? Its not technically free - its paid for as part of buying the device.

Does an actually free alternative to any qualcomm blob exist?

Its a personal question you need to ask and answer for yourself.

This is what I would ask myself -

I think perhaps something has gone wrong with the phrasing or something, because it seemed you were saying the exact same thing but … less clearly?

it is, the useless annoyance is what Samsung*'s Version of Android* is

which now I edit that so it doesn’t have a strike through I actually understand what you mean. It was a bit difficult to parse that originally

but would they do the same in return?

I was earnestly answering. I didnt want to just say “care less about what your friends say” because thats like saying “just stop being depressed”.

But your “friend” really doesn’t sound like someone I would want to be around, personally

This isn’t a “wow thanks im cured” comment, this is something that takes years to work on - just care less. Let it just roll off your back.

Or stop being friends with shit people
