Not actually free for me, is it already too late?

I like GOG and I like steam too. While it is true that GOG can’t take the offline installer from me, this does not make it true I can play the game forever since many games are dynamically linked to libraries that may not be available in the future. This happened to me with games I just had bought. Steam also dynamically links to libraries but what I like about the way they are doing it is that these are part of the base installation so as long as you keep these files, the games should keep working. Nothing being perfect, I think they both try to do things in their own way and try to convince us that it is the best one.

I do not get this even I started using vim over 25 years ago. Is this just about the shared name? Why are they placed in an upside down triangle?

They are paying for support, not the software itself. A long time ago you could go to the store and buy a box containing the CDs for Mandrake Linux as an example just like you can do with windows right now. You were not paying for the software itself but for the media and the box. Even when you pay for a binary on windows, you pay for the service of them compiling it and making it available to you, not the software itself since it is free/libre.

When I am done configuring, I start tinkering!

How often does one pay for free/libre software? Unless choosing to send a voluntary contribution to a project, which is not the same as paying in my eyes, it sure has not happened to me in over 25 years when it was easier to order a set of CDs than trying to download the ISOs on a 56k modem.

What is wrong with mv *.jpg?

Totally me!

This is the first time I see this "classic’. It has so much potential for further development.

If someone told me over twenty years ago that one day I would not be using Gentoo, Enlightenment, screen, bash and ssh. I would have had a hard time believing it yet now I am using Arch, i3wm, tmux, fish and mosh. Gkrellm was always permanently running on my desktop at that time too.

This is dumb, the is no point in using mkfs just before dding an ISO on a drive, even if it is the wrong one.

Can someone explain this one? What is funny is that I would gladly buy some of their latest games if only I could play them on GeForce Now but it seems like they do not want people to be able to play there.
