   @sidereal @hipsterelectron @ciggysmokebringer " I appreciate linux but damn, it seems they have created a lot of value for the capitalists while not getting much leverage back."
   So I am going to have to disagree. Only because I remember when every hw vendor had their own Unix system. They did that explictly for capitalism reasons. Some still have it (IBM and Oracle), though both also now support Linux ecosystem.

     @sidereal @hipsterelectron @ciggysmokebringer Since free source success, capitalists have turned towards the subscription model for software sales. Basically buying software is not useful alone, you need to buy the support instead. Now IBM was the fist to push this model in the 70s way before anyone else learned about it. Though they did with hw support. But hw support is no longer being handled that way because most hw doesn't need that kind of setup any more.
