Sure, but that’s exactly what people mean when they say FOSS service.
Regardless, that’s not the discussion we’re having. The point is that those services are free of charge, and you’re not the product. And that a big reason for that is that they are FOSS services.
No, they’re not mutually exclusive. These services are software.
The free in FOSS doesn’t mean free of charge. All those paid services are still FOSS.
Ok, so what do you call Bitwarden, matrix, openstreetmaps, Mastodon, or Lemmy?
There’s no such link in their comment history either.
You can also self-host bitwarden.
