i guess economically i can think of it as people who can actually afford software subsidizing it for the masses, in some kind of a janky cross-subsidy scheme.
Take it from someone who has been a software engineer for almost fifteen years. The distribution of wealth within software companies, especially large ones, is so whack that the actual people who do the work see barely any money from product sales. And for enterprise version of windows? Don't worry actual corporations buying licenses are spending orders of magnitude more money on bulk licensing than you would if you could have bought a single user license yourself.

FWIW, I think I can remember five big Linux controversies over the past 15 years
Torvalds' abusive behaviors (though it seems he's since chilled out on and apologized for), and richard stallman just as a whole i would say count among them too

Reply to is there really no better alternative to hosting a media-specific (like for a video game and such) community than discord? by anethum
this sucks, like a lot. but i don't think this is a problem solely with discord? no matter where you run a community as a moderator you're going to have to make decisions surrounding transness and transphobia, and these moderators chose a path of transphobia.
i do think discord sucks in a lot of ways but it's currently the most user-friendly option out there sadly for managing a chat-based community. you can argue all day that irc is better but it lacks a lot of features and is really intimidating to a lot of people who aren't so tech literate.
the fact that it's used for centralizing information though IS BAD. make a dang wiki or something lol.

Reply to Cox–Zucker machine by twovests
The name sounds similar to the obscenity "cocksucker". This was a deliberate choice by Cox and Zucker, who, as first-year graduate students at Princeton University in 1970, conceived of the idea of coauthoring a paper for the express purpose of enabling this joke

Reply to Help, I'm mad online, at work by flabberghaster
first off, you are a human person and it is completely reasonable for you to feel this way, especially given how things are going out there.
it's already been four hours since you posted this but for the next time perhaps it might be healthy to step away from any tech for about ten minutes. go on a walk if you can maybe. give yourself some time and separation to cool down.
