Open Source is fascinating. Imagine a pastry chef who spends all day making pastries at work going home to make pastries in the evening. Imagine them wandering around giving these pastries to others for free. Imagine them finding out their free pastries are a huge part of a local company’s lunch offering. Imagine the company complaining because the chef doesn’t make enough pastries for them. Imagine the chef staying up all night making them more pasties instead of just telling them to fuck off.

@whalecoiner What an AWESOME analogy!
I was just saying to @jacob that there's some legit strange psychology going on where FLOSS is concerned because people do NOT treat it like the gift it is, and in fact have some kind of bizarre mental block around it.
I'd muted this post early on but just looked again and HOLY FUCK I've never had those kind of boost and favourite levels before on Mastodon.
