    That’s why I go to a mechanic with my car and listen to his advice, as I have zero clue about how that car even works.

    What happened to “knowledge is free and out there”?

    And honestly, if I’m using things without knowing anything about them, who is to blame? Am I not simply ignorant?

    People don’t learn about linux for the same reason you don’t learn about your car.

      Oh that’s an absolutely free choice. Learn or dont. But you wouldn’t hear me complaining for laws to protect me from an evil carmaker that made an evil car that I bought. I educate myself or just accept to potentially be fucked over.

      Yeah right, exactly. And when my car does something stupid, who is to blame? Me or the manufacturer? I clearly bought the stupid feature willingly. I’m not 12 anymore.
