    If you’re sitting at a poker table and you can’t tell who the sucker is, it’s you.

    Alternately, if you look at an online service and can’t tell what the product is, It’s you.

        Yeah, I feel like that’s usually a very accurate saying, but it doesn’t really work with a lot of open source projects.

        I hate that you’re getting downvoted by so many people who don’t realize you’re pointing out an exception to the rule, and instead think you have some fundamental misunderstanding about how Linux works.

          They are getting downvoted for misconstruing something that is clearly a rule about profit making services and applying it to crowd sourced non-profit open source projects.

          Truly open source projects don’t have suckers.

            To be honest I don’t think that’s clear at all, it feels like it’s more a rule about being skeptical of free stuff online. And many for profit companies have open source projects that can be used safely even though the source is a for-profit.
