This same brainworm :brainworms: is what makes people point at Mac users and say they're being taken advantage of because "all of the paid apps" vs Linux.

Most of the apps I've purchased -- which are incredibly high quality, and get updates to support every new MacOS release -- are developed by independent developers. These are regular people who love what they do, made something useful, and supporting the software supports them and their families. I rarely have to buy something that comes from a giant global mega corp.

Is that evil because it's not open source?

When was the last time you gave $100 to another open source developer? Ever?
