Thanks. We should have a bot that automatically does this for all paywalled links.

    When was there ever a post about non-FOSS here?

      https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3183323 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3183323 and all the releases https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14308754 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14308754 built on FOSS but not FOSS and obviously https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12967901 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12967901 There are loads more but I'm not about to perform an exhaustive search

    Normal software vendors are not normally so bad that it is justified to protect yourself in a way that hurts them. Granted, with the rise of built-in spyware we might eventually have to start doing that. (Or, more realistically, we could distribute patches.)
