It's not just a problem of stuff getting acquired. Companies exist to make money, and they have to chase new customers. No matter how good the software was originally, sooner or later you're going to stop being the target demographic. This happens all the time, every single proprietary product I've used eventually changed in a way I did not want it to change. At that point I either have to adapt or find a new product. On top of that, companies go out of business all the time. At that point you lose support for your product, or if it's an online service the product itself disappears.

With open source the situation is much better. As long as there's a community of users who want it to work a particular way, then it's always possible to fork it and keep it working the way you want. A perfect example of this was when GNOME started moving in a direction a lot of people didn't like, and now we have Cinnamon and Mate desktops.

Hot take: If a partner rejects you because you didn't give them an expensive enough engagement gift, they're not worth marrying.

If they truly love you, they wouldn't care. If they had the slightest concern for your future together, they would prefer that money go into a savings account or the down payment for a house or literally anything more useful than a ring.

I swear when people say hot take it’s not hot but maybe I just agree with hot takes XD

me and my gf both agree if we get married, it’s not gonna be diamonds but some other colorful gemstone. I mean you got all these shiny sapphires, emeralds, rubies, even stuff like turquoise is pretty but no every wants the white gemstone

Hell I’ve even seen some women’s wedding rings out of this black steel in the spiral wavy pattern, the best way I can describe is the Celtic triad/trinity but using that pattern to make a ring

Anyway point being I think diamonds are really pretty but also kind of boring compared to other colors, maybe as accent gemstone if we ignore the price because shiny
