The image is a screenshot of a mobile messaging application interface, likely a text message or similar platform. The screen displays a portion of a message exchange, with the focus on text content. The top portion of the screen shows the time “11:06” along with cellular network and battery indicators. Below that is the text of a note from an "Author," reading: "Important Note: Before we begin, an important clarification. What follows is a story based on real events from my career. However, to protect the privacy of the people and companies involved, I have deliberately mixed things up: technologies, contexts, and specific details have been modified or merged with other experiences. Therefore invite you to read this story not as a strict chronicle of a single event, but as an archetype of a widespread problem in the IT world: vendor lock-in and predatory business practices. Any attempt to identify the specific company or software would lead to an incorrect conclusion. More about it here." The bottom portion shows a notification about an incoming phone call and a message bubble indicating a sent message. At the very bottom of the screen is a navigation bar with icons for Home, Checkmark, and a Chat bubble, and also a URL: "notes.dragas.net".
