No such thing as “free” on the Internet

There’s actually a lot of free stuff out there.
Many blogs simply serve as a creative outlet for their authors. And there are plenty of tools that someone developed, others improved, and that still others put online, just because. And then there are a lot of peoples pet projects anyone can enjoy. All for free, because the only thing nicer that creating stuff is sharing that stuff.
There are just also a bunch of assholes.

I never saw ads on the debian website, kernel.org, blender, codeberg, uBlock, fmhy.net etc etc
You just don’t know where to look

Why would I be so stupid as to go looking for ads? Is your brain broken?

like all FOSS projects, it is user- and developer-supported.
nothing is “free”

Kind of free for the end user tho

The FOSS acronym starts with free (as in speech).
Obviously development takes time but payment for that time is usually done as a sort of solidarity based system if the developer(s) want money.
