So, I just wrote a thing: "Why 'free' proprietary software will always end in tears" davelane.nz/why-free-proprieta (it's late, and I haven't really proof read it, but if you're feeling bold, have at it. Happy to have comments here or there, and any corrections welcome & appreciated!)

For the record, in the past 9 minutes, that post has had more than 1000 reads.

That's Fediverse-power, folks.

about 20 hrs later, it's now had 2200 reads (some of which might be pings from Fedi instances grabbing an image, dunno).
