At the time of writing this if you want to compile the so called "[open source](open_source.md)" [Android](android.md), you will need a supercomputer at home (https://source.android.com/docs/setup/start/requirements) with at least 400 GB of space, 64 GB of RAM (remember, this is a MINIMUM requirement!), a [modern](modern.md) 64 bit CPU with multiple cores (Google uses 72 core machines!), and many hours of computational time. How long before we need a million dollar supercomputer to compile an "open source" program? Now ask yourself, is this still real freedom?
Examples of bloat monopoly include mainstream web browsers ([furryfox](firefox.md), [chromium](chromium.md), ...), [Android](android.md), [Linux](linux.md), [Blender](blender.md) etc. This software is characteristic by its difficulty to be even compiled, yet alone understood, maintained and meaningfully modified by a lone average programmer, by its astronomical [maintenance](maintenance.md) cost that is hard to pay for volunteers, and by aggressive [update culture](update_culture.md).
