@u0421793 @jwildeboer "there’s no professionalism or continuity" Depends doesn't it? Some open source is remarkably professional and dependable. Often the difference between that and an "amateur apprentice-piece" is just funding for a developer to make a living. Meanwhile commercial software getting bought out/sidelined/price-hiked, it not just a risk. Sometimes it feels inevitable! You have to weigh these things up, but I'd love to see governments tending more towards supporting open source.

@IndyRichard @HI_Greens I think an interesting experiment is to go find the same video posted over on x.com and read the replies. Plenty of people disagreeing... but ok. You said "anyone sensible"
