Good to know what to omit, also:

Use and fund open alternatives to the boycotted tools: Bitwarden instead of 1Password, Nextcloud or Co-op Cloud instead of Dropbox or AWS, WooCommerce or Openfront instead of Shopify, Signal, Matrix, XMPP, or Delta Chat instead of Slack. Sourcehut, Gitea, or Forgejo instead of GitHub.

I bet here's a typo, because I can't believe Matrix is also bad

"signal, matrix, xmpp, or delta" instead of slack

Astonishing that Free and Open Source Software with little to no employees cannot compete exactly 1:1 with a VC funded company with a hundred full-time employees.

edit: 2.545 employees as of 2021. I even have to wonder how do they need so many, what for?

I was responding to the poster's suggestion that there was a typo, I think there isn't but it's just a bit hard to read, and all those I quoted are in the "better options" column.

Not gonna lie, the whole text confused me at first

Bitwarden instead of "1Password",

Nextcloud or Co-op Cloud instead of "Dropbox or AWS",

WooCommerce or Openfront instead of Shopify,

Signal, Matrix, XMPP, or Delta Chat instead of Slack.

Sourcehut, Gitea, or Forgejo instead of GitHub.

I don't know why they didn't use the dots, but it doesn't really matter, the message is almost clear after all

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
