Imagine a world without opensource, and the only operating system that exists is Windows.
I seriously wonder: would I still be as excited about computers & tech? Would I have moved on and found another profession in life?
Thanks to everyone involved in opensource. I can't repeat this often enough ❤️

@fribbledom i probably would not be in tech, mainly because the subject would not be diverse enough. But I can't really see things not being open source unless the whole world was like north Korea, maybe in some other dimension is like that lol.
@Mr_Teatime @fribbledom in that case, 25yrs ago i didn't know what a computer is lol. You are right though that tech means more than just what we refer to our these days.
@lnx
can I just drop in and mention that not long ago, "tech" was short for "technology", not "computer and network stuff"?
I went into "tech" about 25 years ago, before I knew about open source. Aerospace technology. And I'm a little miffed if computer nerds talk as if computers was the only "tech" around.
