@mangeurdenuage @iwillbite >What was the Y2K bug about again ?
"oh no my toaster thinks it's 1900 i'm going to die" said no one ever

>I could use like what happened recently with the cats getting guillotined by proprietary litter boxes.
that happened because of shit code, not because the code was proprietary. if it ran on free software but almost nobody contributes to the project besides a few pajeets it's highly likely that the same bug will have been uncaught until it happened

>Ever heard of trademark ?
doesn't matter, building from source instead of buying your copy. enjoy having no sales

>their maintenance can only be done by specialized minds
it's not "specialized", it's "authorized"
that's what the license does, to keep it within the corpo so they can continue to get their return on investment on it

>I financed software that I already posses
on a completely voluntary basis instead of a market-based trade. where another person in a similar situation could decide not to do so at all and just use it for free. that's a donation, not a buy
