I remember when people would tell me, you have to buy software from the large software companies or it will probably break and be terrible.

Today, it’s like, Google property? Microsoft invested? V.v.sus. The software lives in a self-hosted machine named for a pun on some obscure kink, the developer is a furry, the logo is two furries, it’s gpl’ed and if you do five minutes of due diligence you’re going to see all of their politics and most of their butt? I will trust this software with my life.

@mhoye ahh, i remember the era when i was like "there… instead of self-hosting it [which will break when my ubuntu vps breaks] it is hosted by Google's services… now it will simply last forever… surely Google will never discontinue a service or introduce a totally different pricing scheme years after i lock in to using them"
@mcc we were so young.
