    Free software can be freely copied, modified, distributed, etc. This doesn’t mean you don’t have to pay for it.

    Open source software has its source code published. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re able to copy some or all of it, modify it, distribute it, etc.

    It’s getting more and more common that, even in cases where code is open source, only part of the codebase is actually available. This is something that Microsoft (and other wealthy tech companies) loves to do to show that it’s “transparent.”






  • Honestly, I am leaning toward the psychiatrist being correct. From your limited description of your symptoms, it does sound like either schizoaffective disorder or schizophrenia. I am not a mental health professional at all, so you may want to get a third opinion from a psychiatrist or psychologist.

    Treatment is expensive for any mental health condition, it really is unfortunate and unfair that there aren’t more free/accessible supports. Sometimes it does feel like you’re getting scammed (I have ADHD, most medications are very expensive and pharmacies sometimes treat you like a drug addict), but taking medicine can help a lot depending on the person.

    Medication for schizophrenia has come a long way in the last 3 decades.
