The eternal struggle between open source and proprietary software.

The past year has seen a number of high-profile incidents that have highlighted the risks of relying on proprietary software. When these platforms experience chaos, users are often left with no choice but to look for alternatives. This has led to a surge in interest in open source software, which offers users more control over their data and is less likely to be subject to sudden changes. However, the open source community is not without its own challenges, and there have been a number of cases where companies have switched to more restrictive licenses in order to protect their commercial interests. This has led to some developers forking these projects and creating new, more open versions. The past year has shown that both proprietary and open source software have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is important for users to weigh these factors carefully before making a decision about which type of software to use.
