Hey everyone.]

So update 98/99 has gone live which fixes the crashes (thanks for the reports).

I’m gearing up for a pretty sizable release but just wanted to check in and ask if there was any issues you’re having that I should know about or any new feature requests.

Sorry for the bad comms but I’m making my way through lots of messages and posts on here. Thanks for the patience as I get through these all.

Cheers, Lj

            You linked to kernel.org implying that some things listed as free are actually free. I screenshot the bottom of the kernel.org page that lists the financial supporters of the nonprofit.

            I was pointing out that free to you and me is still not free it’s still supported but does not work for profit or sell it’s production as the financial supporters donate their money.

              free is never free.

              This phrasing is specifically used around the idea of “if you’re not paying, you’re the product.” The kernel is free, in that it costs nothing to use and it does not collect data. Free things still do cost time/effort, which is often equated with money, but those are actually two different things that are being conflated. Now if you’d said something along the lines of “free stuff still costs peoples time,” yeah I’d agree with that, but that’s not what the sentiment your message communicated.

              Absolutely no one is going around saying that free stuff doesn’t take effort.
