Not that I use them anymore anyway, cancelling my old account, but name and shame any companies who conveniently can’t support their free base. Also - it’s VNC. It’s a protocol. There’s a dozen free clients out there.

    I think the main reason this comes as a Fuck You to a lot of folks is that this came with (don’t know if it still does) Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS as the default VNC software. So a lot of hobbyists might have not thought about this in a long time and are suddenly facing needing to set up SSH suddenly because the VNC they were using is now off the table. (Makes me glad I defaulted to SSH+keys pretty soon after learning how to use it)

    It probably should have never been bundled as the default for a hobbyist operating system. I guess we’ve seen the writing on the wall for the Raspberry Pi Foundation making bad moves for a while now.
