npub1t5m0nvfy3ukegy92tv73mvfn95ku9trys28uwd8hmndgj956wzpqz59guy (npub1t5m…9guy) Nothing that takes resources & labor to produce is ever free.
Public libraries get funded by taxpayers. It's a good use of public funds, but it's not free. FOSS is also subsidized by corporations building complementary products or externalizing development. Or by enthusiasts working in their personal time & being abused by entitled users demanding free work.
Someone always pays for it, and it isn't sustainable if we forget the spending of other people's time or money.
