  • Blame game, simple.

    Proprietary software comes with a price tag (some people think free = bad), a license (which implies some sort of ownership) and a company behind it which you can sue if something hits the fan. Zero responsibility for the licensee.

    FOSS, in the other hand, is no strings attached (for the most part, some sw is dual-licensed and/or there are paid services): if it hits the fan, you clean it up.

    So proprietary-mentality managers either cough up money for an IT department, which they almost never do, or fork off money to a proprietary company and write it off as an expense and externalize everything, including resposibility.

  • I do know how to mute. I choose not to.

    I also know mastodon is for microblogging.

    I guess rather than trying to look like the hacker wannabe 'cos my ego's so cool and can thread my shit thoughout multiple posts to work around post limits I'd just post to an actual blog.

    It would require a modicum of civility though, which is hard to find amongst keyboard warriors.

    Sorry if I.don't lose any sleep over downvotes. :)
