I actually do know that.. but it still has higher probability of convincing someone, compared to privacy

That's actually sadly real, and I can't emphasize "sadly" enough ๐Ÿ˜…

I have a friend that about 3 years ago introduced me to libre software. At that time, she used very few proprietary garbage. From about a year though she went back to using Instagram (why???) and other stuff (not only social networks, but things like messaging apps, which is a bit less bad), but luckily still prefers libre software when possible.

I still have to thank her for being so insistent at the time about "you have to remove google play services!!!" and other stuff. Even if she is now cringe, and not a based free software purist anymore, it's partly thanks to her that I'm now a more aware computer user.
