FreeBSD 13.2 3 years ago

Untrue on the one-way. Quite a few corporate entities have contributed back to FreeBSD over the years. Netapp, Netflix, Juniper, etc.

People might look at you incredulously because their experience isn't mirroring yours. For instance, I honestly do not recall the last time macOS crashed on me. It does what I want it to do 99% of the time without getting in my way. But.. that's my experience. Linux on Mac might work better for YOU, don't presume that is the same for everyone else.

One might say that the state of the art has been chained up with awful upload speeds. Where you can think of one possible application, I can think of more, and undoubtedly there are even more that don't occur to people because it doesn't enter their experience. Being able to do practical off-site backups from home, even snapshots on an hourly basis? That'd be the dream. Oh wait, I'm doing that now because I have 1 gigabit/sec upstream at home!

I genuinely cannot tell if you're being sarcastic or not, and I'd rather not listen to a long rambling podcast to find out. Could you elaborate or summarize?

Not only is your last paragraph incredibly elitist, but any labor is skilled labor. The difference is degree of skill.

A union does not prevent you from leaving your job for another employer. Why would you think that?

The problem is, it is NOT a simple idea, but one that requires a lot of relative heavy lifting with deep packet inspection for a lot of protocols that have to deal with the spaghetti that is NAT.
