Ask HN：为什么*大多数*人对 FOSS/OSS 不感兴趣？我们能改变这种状况吗？
3 分•作者: Imustaskforhelp•8 个月前
我大约七八天前就在这里讨论过这个问题，但一直没弄明白原因。我思考了几个小时，觉得自己终于理解了，但似乎我唯一知道的就是我一无所知。
我的问题很简单：为什么人们对自由开源软件（FOSS）知之甚少？以及如何真正改变这种状况？
我一直在思考推广 FOSS 的最佳方式，似乎最好的方法是倡导 F-Droid 和 Linux Mate/Flatpak 等，让事情变得非常简单，让人没有理由不用。
然而，我又觉得人们仍然不感兴趣的原因是它变得“太”无聊了。
如果我的一举一动都被追踪，我真的能掌控自己吗？我不确定。人们不知道吗？
我想提高人们对 OSS 的认识，因为这是我热衷的事情。但我似乎不知道该怎么做。我感觉谈论这些问题时有人听到了，有时说服人们使用 Signal 很容易，但他们仍然没有使用。这真是一言难尽。
我觉得我的同代人也让我失望了，我们甚至停止了质疑，我们都被追踪我们的算法给两极分化了。
我觉得在一个如此两极分化的世界里，使用开源可以帮助慢慢提高人们的认识，这样我们就可以摆脱极端侵犯隐私的、诱导愤怒的算法，转向更好的东西，然后我们可以放松警惕，停止“一切都结束了，一切都不重要”的虚无主义，或者“谁在乎”之类的想法。
有时候我觉得我的想法不重要，也许你可以说 YouTube 就像是像我这样的人的想法的麦克风，但事实并非如此。我不想创造任何关于我的传说，我只想告诉人们关于 F-Droid 这样愚蠢的、简单的 FOSS 东西，然后离开，在我看来，这样我就可以致力于/帮助开源中其他紧迫的问题。
人们也觉得有权获得高质量的开源软件，就像如果你期望这样，要么友善地感谢开发者并礼貌地向他们寻求解决方案，要么加入他们的社区并友善地在那里提问，或者也许向他们捐款/自己贡献。我看到一些人觉得理所当然，这让我很 : /
我感谢每一位开源开发者，这对我来说就像是如此优雅的东西，我们可以有分支和其他很多东西，我们互相学习，有时令人耳目一新。但让我难过的是，它没有收到捐款，人们不使用它，有时人们会觉得有权要求一个功能。
这个兔子洞太深了，但如果我们想与大众分享它，那么我们需要讨论优先分享什么，不分享什么，对于初学者来说。我们需要一个真正的维基百科来开始开源生活方式。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，并写下“X 开源替代方案”等等……
Awesome-privacy 在一开始也帮了我很多忙。我实际上读完了它，还有 privacyguides.net 和许多其他网站，有很多好的指南，但它们仍然没有引起注意。
那么人们应该创建另一份指南来分散注意力，还是应该将注意力引向我们可能讨论的对每个人都足够好的列表？我有很多问题。
我们可以拥有更好的东西，这给了我希望。但问题是，这不需要我改变，而是需要世界也稍微改变，这让我很困惑。
我是否有能力朝这个方向改变世界？我们中的任何一个人有吗？在这个体系中我感到渺小，但我知道给予希望也会带来复杂的结果。我不想为我无法控制的事情而难过，但问题是，这件事是我们无法控制的吗？
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。但我仍然想保持希望，你知道的。
祝你今天愉快，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!
