How is that false equivalency? Comparing fdroid to the play store is about as close as you can get.
The false equivalency is not that the two aren’t comparable products, the false equivalency is that they have those problems at similar rates, because they don’t.
You’re not backing your points up with any actual reasoning or examples
My reasoning is experience. FOSS has this reputation among most people. Only people who are willfully ignorant can’t see it. I could give you examples all day but it’d just be cherry-picking and I’m sure you would remain unswayed. Feel free to ignore me, I’m just saying what it is.
I am genuinely curious why you think people pay money for worse software though…
I don’t avoid proprietary solutions that do a better job
That was my entire point. The person I was originally replying to seemed to suggest exactly that.

I’m so sick of that person. All over the tech community with horrible and downright stupid takes. Just a while ago they were complaining about bloatware installed on android phones, but then fails to see your point about proprietary software also being useless.

Yep, didnt make a single sensible point. Just anecdotes and irrelevant examples. I’m bad at ignoring an argument so I went and blocked lol
