请问HN：为什么*大多数*人对自由开源软件（FOSS/OSS）不感兴趣，我们能改变这种情况吗？
我在这里讨论这个问题大约是7-8天前，但我仍然不知道原因是什么。我思考了几个小时，认为我终于理解了原因，但似乎我唯一知道的就是我什么都不知道。
我的问题很简单。为什么人们对自由和开放源代码软件（FOSS）缺乏了解，以及如何真正改变这种状况。
我考虑过传播FOSS信息的最佳方式，似乎最有效的方法是倡导像F-Droid、Linux Mint、Flatpak这样的工具，让事情变得简单到没有理由不去使用它们。
然而，我又觉得人们之所以仍然不感兴趣，是因为这变得<i>太</i>无聊了。
如果我的所有行动都被追踪，我真的掌控着自己吗？我不确定。人们难道不知道这一点吗？
我想提高对开放源代码软件（OSS）的认识，因为这是我热衷的事情。然而，我似乎不知道该如何做。我觉得在谈论这些问题时我的声音被听见，有时说服人们使用Signal是如此简单，但他们仍然没有使用。这是一种复杂的情感。
我感觉我的一代人也给我留下了很多困惑，我们甚至停止了质疑，我们都被追踪我们的算法所极化。
在这样一个极化的世界里，我觉得使用开源软件可以帮助我们慢慢提高对它的认识，从而使我们能够摆脱极端隐私侵犯和引发愤怒的算法，朝向更好的方向发展，这样我们就可以减轻我们的感知，停止那种“这就是一切的终结，一切都无所谓”的虚无主义或“谁在乎”这种想法。
有时我觉得我的想法毫无意义，也许你会说像YouTube这样的东西是为我这样的想法提供了一个平台，但其实并不是。我不想为自己创造任何传说，我只想告诉人们一些简单的FOSS事情，比如F-Droid，并发表我的看法，这样我就可以去关注或帮助其他在开源领域更紧迫的问题。
人们也觉得自己有权获得高质量的开源软件，如果这是你的期望，那么请善待开发者，感谢他们并礼貌地询问解决方案，或者加入他们的社区并在那里友好地询问，或者也许自己捐款或贡献。我看到一些人觉得自己有权利，这让我感到沮丧。
我感谢每一位开源开发者，这对我来说是如此优雅，我们可以有分支和许多其他东西，彼此学习，有时这让人耳目一新。然而，我感到难过的是，它们没有收到捐款，人们不使用它，有时人们觉得有权要求某个功能。
这个兔子洞太深了，但如果我们想与大众分享，那么我们需要讨论什么是初学者应该分享的优先事项。我们需要一个真正的维基来开始开源生活。我不知道我是怎么开始的，也许只是使用Linux，然后搜索任何软件，写下“替代X的开源软件”等等。
Awesome-privacy在一开始也帮了我很多。我实际上读完了它，还有privacyguides.net和许多其他优秀的指南，但它们仍然没有得到关注。
那么，人们应该创建另一个指南来进一步分散注意力，还是应该将注意力重新引导到我们可能讨论的适合每个人的列表上？我有很多问题。
我们可以拥有更好的东西，这让我充满希望。但问题是，这并不只需要我改变，而是世界在这个过程中也需要稍微改变，这让我感到困惑。
我是否有能力朝这个方向改变世界？我们中的任何人都有吗？我在这个系统中感到渺小，但我知道给予希望也会是复杂的。我不想为一些超出我控制的事情而感到悲伤，但问题是，这件事情是否超出了我们的控制？
我觉得我不知道答案。我只是不知道，这就是我在这里提问的原因。但我仍然想要保持希望，你知道的。
祝你有美好的一天，期待你们每一个人的评论！

I had discussed this on here for like 7-8 days ago but I can't get to know the reason why. I have thought about it for hours, thinking I have finally understood the reason why, but it seems that the only thing I know is that I know nothing.<p>My question is simple. Why are people uneducated about foss and how to really change that.<p>I have thought about what might be the best way to spread the word about foss and it seems that the best way is via advocating things like f-droid and linux mate/flatpak/ making things so simple that there is no reason why not.<p>Yet then I think that the reason why people are still not interested is that it becomes <i>too</i> boring.<p>Am I really in control if all my moves are being tracked. I am not sure. Do people not know this?<p>I want to raise awareness about oss since its something I am passionate about. Yet I can't seem to know how. I feel heard talking about these issues, its so easy convincing people sometimes to use signal yet they still don't have it. Its mixed bag.<p>I feel like my generation has left me a lot more too, we have stopped even questioning it and we are all so polarized by algorithms tracking us all.<p>I feel like in a world of such polarization, using open source can help to slowly raise awareness about it so that we can then move away from extreme privacy invasise ragebaits inducing algorithms to something better, so that then we can lessen our senses and stop with oh its the end of all and nothing matters nihilism or yeah who cares kind of idea.<p>Sometimes I feel like my ideas don't matter, maybe you could say things like youtube are a mic for people like my ideas but its not. I don't want to create any lore about me, I just want to tell people about stupid simple foss things like f-droid and leave in my opinion so that I could then work on/help other pressing issues in open source.<p>People also feel entitled to good quality open source software, like if that's what you expect, either be so kind to thank the developer and kindly ask them an solution or join their community and kindly ask there or maybe donate to them/contribute to it yourselves. I see people who are entitled and its :/<p>I thank every open source developer, its like something so elegant to me, we can have forks and so many other things and we all learn from each other and its sometimes refreshing. Yet it saddens me that it doesn't receive donations, that people don't use it, that people feel entitled sometimes asking for a feature.<p>This rabbit hole is so deep but if we want to share it with the masses, then we need to discuss the priorities of what to share and what not to for begineers. We need a genuine wiki to get started into the open source lifestyle. I don't know how I started, maybe by just using linux and then searching for any software and writing alternativeto X open source something and so many other things...<p>Awesome-privacy helped me out a ton in the beginning as well. I actually read it whole and privacyguides.net and so many others, there are so many good guides yet they still don't get attention.<p>So should people create another guide to split the attention even more or should they actually redirect attention to lists which we might discuss is good enough for everyone. I have so many questions.<p>We can have better things and that gives me hope. But the problem is that, it doesn't require myself to change but the world in the process a little as well and that confuses me.<p>Do I have the power to change the world in this direction or not? Do any one of us have it? I feel small in this system yet I know giving hope would be mixed too. I don't want to be sad for something out of my control, but that is the question, is this thing out of our control or not?
I feel like I don't know its answer.
I just don't know which is why I am asking here. But I still want to be hopeful y'know.<p>Have a nice day and looking forward to each and every one of your comments!
