The Mac way is much better. Users get high quality software for a fair price, and talented indie developers get compensated for their work and skills.

Meanwhile I guess FOSS communists can continue to enjoy working for free programming crucial net infrastructure for companies like Google, Meta and Microsoft.

> FOSS communists

That's a solid combination of ideas. If anybody is forming a group of FOSS comrades - count me in!

Pick any FOSS project and you will be right at home.

But you won't have time for much merry-making with your friends: An important manager at Meta just submitted a bug report to your open source project which needs to get taken care of urgently and for free by you. Quarterly reports are quickly approaching, so get on it comrade! Don't make him wait!
