You can simply not use it, no?
I am not going to make any sweeping generalizations across all products. But at least in the case of Deno KV, there doesn't seem to be lock-in. So if you were running something self-hosted for KV persistence, it will continue to work unmodified.

Again, not sure which bunch of startups. But I am not seeing that with this product. Seems more like a survival strategy to add some cashflow behind the developers.
I am curious what you think Open Source should be (or should not be). I think it's fair that running a service in the cloud should cost something. And self-hosting it, I think it's fair that it requires a bit more effort than using the hosted service.

- satvikpendem 3y agoThat meme doesn't further your point because the peasant is "using" society and understands the problems with it.
- Matl 3y agoMy point with the meme link is that you can respond to any complaint about anything with a 'gotcha' argument that's ultimately invalid.
- satvikpendem 3y agoSeems like you can similarly respond to any complaint with that meme too, which is also invalid. In reality, there is a lot more nuance than can be described by pithiness.
- accoil 3y agoIsn't that the reverse? It's against the sentiment that being a part of system means that you implicitly agree with it, and any complaints you make about it are void.
