    But actually not free as in free beer. Someone is paying to sustain these instances.

    Edit: this is the 2nd time I’ve seen the phrase “free as in free beer” today and decided to look it up because I hadn’t really taken notice of it before. I retract my statement and apologize. You used it perfectly and TIL, so thank you.

      Upvoted not because you’re right, but because you realized you were wrong and will hopefully inspire others to look up the meanings behind phrases they read on the internet.

      I also needed a refresher.

        You can’t grow if you can’t admit to yourself that you’re wrong some of the time.
