Thank you.
You mention using FOSS programs and supporting developers that meet your demands, but what do you do when the people around you (emphasis: people physically around where you live, not necessarily people you like) want you to use something else, and you cannot convince them? Even worse, they want to ban the use of anything but the software they use and threaten you with force.

You might say to ignore them, but they are persistent and increasingly successful in their goals to eliminate free software, and you feel that they WILL follow up on their threats (in fact, false positives haven't stopped them). You might say to run away and leave them behind, but their ideas spread and people like them are everywhere. Finally, you might say to inject lead, but their numbers are endless and their ability to manipulate laws is infinite. You would have a better chance of waging attritional warfare against a trillion ants.

TLDR: What do you do when ten thousand people living near you want to control the software you use, and they cannot be dissuaded by laws, dialogue or violence?

This is partially an obfuscation and partially literal, because of how Apple tried(?) to control device repair by legislation in the US.
