Maybe so, and this is why we live in hell.
Nobody pays for software unless it’s manipulative, intrusive, or addictive. If it just delivers value it has to be free.
I keep coming perilously close to declaring free software a mistake, but the problem is a lot more complex than that. It’s also a result of land, expand, enshittify models.
- barrysteve 3y agobecause copy and paste has trained everyone to expect information for free. computing has no tools to protect software (tpm, ect not running yet) and people wondering why nobody pays? if i could copy and paste stacks of gold bars for free, i would. and i would never pay for gold bars again. valuable software has to be protected if you want to cut out the intrusion, manipulation and addiction. the missing option to protect valuable software is a big hole in the guts of computing. let free be free, let protected be protected.
