    It’s not completely harmless, for me it causes heart palpitations that are so bad my watch tells me I’m in atrial fibrillation. Yes I know this sounds crazy. I’ve ruled everything …

    It depends what you’re doing. I have no problem using an open source model to build a static website or other simple tasks. And of course, open source is catching up and the things…
