    And that’s it. Self-hosted and open source software is a double-edged sword. Developers have the freedom to build and share whatever they’d like, but that same freedom also allows them to make unpopular decisions No, you are not entitled to anything from software you haven’t paid for.

    Yet another nugget of truth. Muh boy be ringin’ the school bell.

      I’m not a big fan of this sort of pseudo-philosophical contrarian fence-sitting.

      I mean sure, he’s not technically wrong, but it also implies that while Developers have the freedom to perform these rug-pulls (they do), the author simultaneously wags their finger at the people who have equal freedom to react the way they have.

      Developers (companies) are not entitled to be free from criticism or backlash for acting shitty.
