What are you thankful for?
I am thankful for Linux and other open source projects. These projects gave power to the people.
Think about it. Linus Torvalds had to develop his own operating system because he could not afford to purchase a UNIX license. From ls to grep, Richard Stallman's GNU project rewrote the implementation of various UNIX commands.
We might take these things for granted today in 2022 but look closely, and then you'll realize how these projects changed the course of technology simply by putting it in the hands of people.
