Exciting news for who? Only the site owner is excited that a free resource now requires a subscription

“Yay! Now I have to pay another subscription! I’m so excited! Let’s celebrate with them!” - nobody

    Let’s be clear in one thing:

    • There’s no free lunches.

    That’s it. Everything in the Universe, including you, has a “price” on energy. Now outside of all crony-capitalism craziness, we should all consider having a open, distributed, fair price Internet and it’s resources.

    I’m calling Louis.

      Plenty of places provide free lunches. They’re still paid for, but they’re free at the point of service. Eg homeless shelters, Wikipedia.

      So tired of this crap response. Plenty of open source services and mirrors have been running and serving content for FOSS projects for 30 years.
