Summary: Times are changing in all sorts of ways; it seems like GNU/Linux and other Free/libre operating systems may emerge as winners when the 'dust settles'
THE night was young
GNU had been hung
They told us it was fine
For serenades that Microsoft had sung
An epidemic struck
It wasn't bad luck
They said it was a "plandemic"
People are as crazy as fuck
Microsoft layoffs ensued
A year after Linux it had sued
But GitHub still wooed
Offering 'free' food
Society may never be the same
To work from home we now tame
Forget about open office fame
Glass and metal cages were all along a sham
Travel is now a luxury
For those who can withstand scarred lungs
Conferences now mean a webstream
No handshakes, no hugs
2020 -- a heck of year!
Bushfires, plane crashes, and WW3 fear
Free software persisted
Coders gone code
The cause prevailed
But it felt rather odd
IIS is dying
Edge is crying
Stores are dead as nobody's buying
Surely the chairs are also flying! ⬆
"I have never, honestly, thrown a chair in my life."
