I'm not following; how does an onslaught of fake FOSS mean FOSS has won? If anything it sounds like it needs more defending than ever.

- gavinhoward 3y agoIt means that the expectation is that the source is open. The default used to be closed source, so in essence, Open Source has won. Personally, I don't see source available as a bad thing. [1] [1]: https://gavinhoward.com/2023/12/is-source-available-really-that-bad/ https://gavinhoward.com/2023/12/is-source-available-really-t...
- vinceguidry 3y agoNobody is discussing FOSS here, only OSS. The only solution to capitalistic shenanigans is the software commune, OSS isn't a commune, FOSS is. OSS is, essentially, a software cartel disguised as a philanthropic enterprise. Advocates of OSS want to live in a world where bigcorps and little guys can coexist, this has always been a pipe dream, since day one. FOSS locks the bigcorps out of the discussion, or rather, forces them to compete on the same playing field as the little guy, which amounts to the same thing. So you see these articles come out every now and again bemoaning capitalistic greed. Communist utopia is right there bro. Just open your eyes and stop letting bigcorps eat your lunch every couple of years or so.
