Half of the value in open source was that it was used by lots of people and all of the nasty edge cases and bugs have been ironed out.

If LLMs were performing according to hype then yes, virtually all paid software would be gone by now and there would be a high quality FOSS equivalent of all of it.

Whenever redis, mysql or postgres rear their head it raises all sorts of ugly questions like do you let apps share databases, how do you do backups, etc.

For apps that will have 1-3 users and a few hits a day a sqlite file is far less operational overhead and can be backed up with all of the other files that app has.

How? Addictive food is profitable food is it not?

I agree that no conspiracy is necessary, basic market incentives dictate that addictive "once you pop you can't stop" food is just good business.

I suspected that somebody might read what I wrote and interpret it as "attaching your name automatically reduces the toxicity of social networks".
