    The question is why now ?<br> Did ethics not matter to you then ? (Especially during the time when they fucked you over the 1st time)

      Everyone has different thresholds for action. When you’re talking about replacing your entire professional toolset, it might make sense that they were resistent.

        You would think getting screwed once would be enough

      Why is this question important to you? Are you thinking about doing something with the info, or just pontificating about how you think you’re better than others for making choices sooner?

        What’s the harm in asking ?

          I didn’t say there was, I’m simply asking your purpose. Is there some harm in knowing your purpose?

            If it takes this long to look for you to actually care about ethical alternatives, then you are virtue signaling about “Ethics” (Usually)

              Ok, so it’s a superiority thing. That makes sense.

                More like calling out an ethically-bankrupt person

                  More like calling out a fat guy at the gym.

      Because now this stuff is in a better working state.

      Linux now supports most video games (successfully played elden ring, drg, and Balatro this weekend) open office is far more reliable.

      The options now WORK

          … I don’t know what to say.

          Here’s a guy that seems to finally start following some of your worldviews. Starts preaching a bit of your gospel, and your first reaction seems to be.

          “You’re too slow. You’re clearly fake because a true linux and open source user would’ve sacrificed themselves to a pipeline that did not work for them.”

          Why can’t you just be happy and smug right now that a creator has moved away from corporate and into the open source realm?
