After 18 years of providing free, production-ready container images to millions of developers worldwide, Bitnami was effectively ending its free tier. On August 28, 2025, the repository would process over 4 billion downloads annually. It would transform into something unrecognizable. The change is a premium service starting at $72,000 per year, according to AWS Marketplace listings and Arrow Electronics pricing sheets.[/quote]Okay, fair enough. I have never trusted nor used packaging services like this for a variety of reasons, but if you did, and the free tier you depended on was suddenly $72,000 per year, I can see how that would be a problem.<br /> <br /> (A problem that was obvious all along, which is just one of the many reasons I never used these services.)<br /> <br /> So... So what?<br /> <br /> So the Bitnami service was sponsored by a company called Bitrock since 2003.<br /> <br /> VMWare acquired Bitrock and Bitnami in 2019, at a time it was owned by Dell.<br /> <br /> Then Dell spun off VMWare as a separate company.<br /> <br /> And then Broadcom bought the newly independent VMWare.<br /> <br /> And Broadcom are rent-seekers <span style="font-style: italic;">par excellence</span>. This is standard practice for them; they do not care in the least that they just killed a service that has been around for more than twenty years. They want your money right now, and they know you will pay.<br /> <br /> And they're not going to stop. Broadcom has reached a market cap of $1 trillion on the guiding philosophy of <span style="font-style: italic;">bitch better have my money</span>.<br /> <br /> <br /> </li> <li>[url=https://archive.is/dHvEk]If you have a previous model Framework 16 with a dedicated Radeon 7700S graphics card and want to update it to the latest Nvidia RTX 5070 card...
