4·18 days agoOne part of my full time job these past fifteen plus years has been to help maintain a foundational open source library that my employer and many many others are dependent on.
When it comes to total impact of open source work, I’m unlikely to ever surpass that.
Commodore’s bankruptcy in 1994 was the end of the Amiga, which forced me to switch to something else.
At the time, the choice of hardware I could afford and operating systems that didn’t suck was extremely limited, a PC with Linux was pretty much the only practical choice and I’ve stuck with that ever since.
I’m still using good ol’ Xournal. It isn’t really particularly good (and I’d be happy to find something better), but I’ve been using it since forever and the force of habit is strong.

[…] just as convenient and beginner-friendly as what Apple provides?
There’s a reason why Apple is able to charge so much money for that — and that reason is that the answer to your question is no.
What I’d like to know: For anyone using some app other than AntennaPod: Why? How is it worth it?
Slackware, of course, but when Debian was first released two years later I obviously switched (and it’s been Debian since then).
ELI5: Why would a VPN provider ever need to have their own app? They don’t have their own VPN technology, do they?
