I feel like I've been gaslit into running FOSS but every success only brings me closer to fighting god

Bad analogy really. Vegans aren't completely self-sustainable in the wild.

Completely FOSS isn't completely self-sustainable either in the real world - you'd need to be using something like RISC-V with coreboot and a completely open hardware stack with zero proprietary firmware blobs in the mix + not to mention running a fully self-hosted email/cloud stack. And if you're using a mobile phone - even a dumb one or a pinephone - then you're not fully FOSS. I'm not aware of anyone who's fully FOSS out there, except maybe RMS?

It could be done for tech. It is impossible for vegans. That was all I was saying. Or wanted to say.
