#FOSS is the great accomplice of #BigTech dominance, by not considering its impact on society and by generally not being produced sustainably. FOSS does not defend its market position, dumping itself on the market and leaving the rest to chance. The vultures know how to make good use of this. FOSS does not worry whether its customer segment - the #Commons - is reached, and evil players are kept out.
Big tech manages to win through ‘free’ in their delivery model, where FOSS sees itself losing.

@tromo @smallcircles Ah, yes, the OP had failed to mention the colossal arrogance and victim blaming rife in the FOSS world. Thanks for catching that.

@tromo @smallcircles Yes, thank you, we already have enough examples of the FOSS world lacking any introspective ability whatsoever, we don’t need any more. I appreciate your enthusiasm, though.

@tromo @smallcircles I wake up in the morning, write free and open code, and I go to sleep at night.
But yes, thanks again for proving my point.
