You are aware that Linux is in fact supported by commercial enterprises of various sizes all up and down the value chain, right?
And yeah, it’s great that we happened upon a quasi-religious movement in software that has managed to align itself with commercial interests. OSS, in my opinion, will go down as one of humanity’s greatest achievements.
Want to know why it’s such an achievement? Because it was profoundly unlikely and continues to be difficult in all sorts of ways.
Question: What’s your job and your approximate hourly rate? Is it something that requires years or decades of training and do you charge $0?
- anthonyskipper 3y agoYes, I'm aware, but if none of those companies existed linux would still be doing great. Same way that if we made it so you couldn't charge for fonts the entire ecosystem would still be doing great. We don't need the rent seeking.
- ethanbond 3y agoSo what do you do and what do you charge for it?
