So, I just wrote a thing: "Why 'free' proprietary software will always end in tears" https://davelane.nz/why-free-proprietary-software-will-always-end-tears (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!)
Hah - another case of appreciating Mastodon's 'edit post' feature so I could add a closing paren(s?).
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).
