Why would you use a proprietary tool like Spotify when there's an open source option like #Nuclear . The only reason I can think about is available music. But hey we are here to change the world. https://nuclearplayer.com/ #foss #floss #opensource

@lexoyo @lightweight @strypey @element Swiss did this. All code paid for with public money needs to be foss. Also the EU is trying. In the Netherlands each ministry has an OSPO. The main problem is the workforce, they want the proprietary shit. Have this problem at home too. Need to have WhatsApp because of my wife and daughter refusing to use Signal or Telegram

@strypey @lexoyo @lightweight @element How can anything which has a recognized foss license be proprietary?

@lightweight @strypey @element sure also the MIT license says a lot. It doesn't protect against Open Washing and that's exactly what they did with GitHub.

Why would you use a proprietary communication tool like #WhatsApp when you also could use an open source tool like #Signal. May the #foss be with you. #floss #opensource

#Discord is often used by #opensource communities as a means to chat both in text and sound.  Did you know discord is proprietary? Why use such a closed tool why there is a #opensource tool like #Mattermost available. It does have an enterprise and community version.
Let the #foss be with you.
