   The worst things that happened in the technology sector in the past ten years

   1) Monthly software subscription service
   2) Greedy VCs (venture capitals)

   Can you think of any other?

     @nixCraft I'm fine with subscription software as long as they also maintain a self hostable open source version they don't remove features from. Hosted cloud services for people who can pay and don't want the hassle of running it themselves.

     @nixCraft Widespread use of permissive #OpenSource licenses. We should be using #copyleft as a bare minimum and probably use even stronger licenses like #copyfarleft. There is no point in releasing code under licenses that don't require some form of reciprocity from commercial capitalist users. There is no virtue in developing software for free for capitalists
