Is bit keeper even still around anymore?

Freedom is to proprietary as libertarian is to authoritarian. Tradition is to distruption as political right is to political left. Better would be for the x axis to be left-to-right disruption->tradition and the y axis to be bottom-to-top freedom->proprietary. So, rotated 90° counterclockwise and then mirrored left-to-right.

At work I'm the only dude that uses Windows and Linux. Everyone else uses Macs.

I'm shocked you have a choice at work.

I had a couple of jobs that only allows Macs. It was horrible. The M1 Mac couldn't do 3 monitors(two side by side and main monitor). What kind of "PRO" system doesn't allow 3 monitors?!?!

I remember using 3 on Windows 7 in like 2015. That's crazy. And I think I could open the laptop to get 4. This was an IBM Thinkpad with a dock. I wonder if USB C and dongles have made it harder somehow?

This whole chart should've been rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.

Wouldn't that put Bill Gates on the "freedom" side?
