mgorny-nyan (he) :autism:🙀🚂🐧<p>Software with ads isn't "free" (as in not paid for). We long have a term for that, it's called "<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/adware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adware</span></a>". And if it's spying on you while at it, we call it "spyware", or "malicious software" more generally, and remove it.</p><p>And programs with paid features aren't "free" either, nor "<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/freemium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freemium</span></a>" — they're just glorified demo versions.</p><p>Let's not let marketing folk manipulate us, and create a world where "shit 2025 hd pro premium+" is the best we can do. Support <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSoftware</span></a> (as in libre), rather than con people.</p>
