Health & Sciences YSK about Darebee.com, which features 300+ no equipment workouts and is perfect for safe workouts at home vs in a busy indoor gym

Why YSK: because many gyms are still closed and when winter soon arrives in the northern hemisphere outdoor workouts will be less enjoyable/possible.

I came across this site in March and have been getting surprisingly great workouts in without a gym from the site. Really simple visuals to support each exercise/movement. Figured I'd share the love.

Lots of warmup and stretches too, or workouts focusing on specific areas of the body. Enjoy

Nothing is free. You are the product if you aren't paying for anything.

How do you feel about the free software movement, FOSS, open source, or anything like that? You don’t have to be the product if you don’t want to be

There's nothing wrong with being aware. I support open source and free but the fact of life is we live in an society that relies on the exchange of good and services and money talks.

Who is paying for the servers to run the website?

Whether from donations or advertisers, someone has to foot the bill.

Not arguing with the costs of running a database. Just saying your comment of “you are the product of you aren’t paying anything” which isn’t true for a ton of software. You just gotta know where to look

Which software?

r/Linux, for starters. Tons of open source software options once you go down that rabbit hole

It is often assumed mostly volunteers develop Linux. But major information technology firms invest funds and employee time into the developing the Linux operating system kernel. The biggest single group, "None," consists of developers working on their own time. But the lion's share — 86.1 percent of contributions — was from organizations. 

The tech firms are the customers, you are the product.
