I try to use free software only, but unfortunately that's not always the case. For example the BIOS of my desktop computer is proprietary. I also don't use a FSF-approved GNU/Linux distribution on my desktop because I prefer Gentoo. But I set ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FREE" and I don't have any exceptions in package.license. Unfortunately I still can't enable the bindist USE flag due to some unsolved issues with openssl. I use deblobed linux-libre instead of gentoo-sources. I use LineageOS on my smartphone, which brings a few more non-free software with it. I also routinely run proprietary Javascript code on my browser when visiting most websites.
