I haven't had a printer for over 10 years. Waste of money and resources.

He's mostly right in the end. Being right instantly would make episodes last 5 minutes...

It never lost quality. House M.D. is still in my top 3 favourite shows.

I only just became aware of this. The essay has been corrected, and donated to F-Droid.

Conveniently excluding Vivaldi browser.

I don't really give a damn about why

That's a slippery slope into bigotry, dogma. It should be possible to understand another perspective without necessarily agreeing with it. Unwillingness to listen limits the pathways to finding solutions.

As aforementioned, I think the majority of the software listed does not clash with the FSF definition of freedom. Unless I started shilling Zuckerberg products I don't think it detracts from the point I'm trying to make.

User @QuazarOmega already pointed this out, it depends on the definition of free, of which I'm positive the majority of my list complies with. Moreover, I did apologise for including Spotify, and offer alternatives:
“Despite their free version forcing ads, the paid version is too convenient, sorry. However, their UXD has become more annoying so I'm not sure how long I'll stick… If cross platform functionality isn't a big deal for you then consider Tidal which pays artists significantly more [5], or BeatSense for simple YouTube playlists and listening together.”

If there are better alternatives—to anything really—please share them instead.

Regarding Vivaldi: Why isn’t Vivaldi browser open-source?
Lastly, about Mega and Telegram, I added “breaks rule 3” to their listing. Mega is just remarkably convenient too, and unless the populace suddenly turns geek and they find out about the Matrix protocol, I'd prefer they use Telegram en masse instead of WhatsApp.

There's a deluge of impersonal, academic, dry sources of information out there. If I chose that road it would just feel like writing a thesis. It's on my personal website, so I hope you can forgive a touch of personality. The levity is what keeps me going; there's so much frustrating/disheartening news all around us and comedy is a crucial way of dealing with it.
Anyhow, I appreciate you taking the time to interact.

If taxes are a concern then I think opencollective.com is the recommended platform:
“Open Collective is a legal and financial toolbox for grassroots groups. It’s a fundraising + legal status + money management platform for your community. What do you want to do?”
