Do I have depend for survival on proprietary or not proprietary hardware and
software?
Partially, I understand the differences. I could make better choices more
wiser, since I learn to recognize them. Still is not a perfect world.
Computers are not humans, just stupid machines.
Would I depend on this for the lively hood of my family? I personally wont,
as long I got people and mouth to feed at home that I'm responsible for.
Reality is other.
So Quit intoxicating your body with fermented beer and wine, and take your
happy soul to work or study!

Jobs.
I forgot to add: Yes, Recently, for 3 years I build my own company, my own
investment, I became my own boss, which I recently sold for a decent profit.
Unfortunately, this former purchaser of the company I sold too, did not
understood a few things; the definition of smart business practices, to work
hard, able to lead and train your teams proficiently and make them technical
savvy with knowledge and to be a team player. My former purchaser was not
capable and could not handle the pressure, the budget, and honor the warranty
agreements. The former purchaser of my previous owed company was a failure in
disguised.
Yes again I'm on my own venture. Failure is not an option.
