cbluth··on Ask HN: Why salaries are not going up?
^ I have seen much of this in the Netherlands. A lot of "Full Time" Consultants.
cbluth··on Ask HN: Do you live a Free Software only life?
I've been using Linux on my personal laptop since about 2006, and Linux on my work laptops since 2011, and cyanogenmod/lineageos on my phone since about 2012. I also have a little lakka.tv device hooked up to my tv.

My personal preference, I love gnome3 and android. I prefer them over the osx/ios. And the interface on lakka is pretty amazing. I have everything I need, and I haven't looked back.

I certainly own things like video game consoles which aren't OSS, but I like to buy them to hack them, just for fun, I guess. I use tons of non-free stuff like google docs et al, and whatever else is convenient, easy.

Every macbook ive owned has had Linux on it within minutes after removing it from the box.
