alt Hacker NewsI think it matters everywhere -- just because some fields get away with making trash doesn't mean that they're not vulnerable to people taking their lunch by making something distinctly-not-trash. People put up with a lot when there's lock-in, but there's a breaking point. (I say now using a linux desktop about 90% of the time now because windows has become such a fucking disaster)
Being vulnerable makes money unfortunately. And making money now has always been seen as more important than being sustainable in the long-term. Even if an exploit later takes away every cent of earnings.
