Gregory's Server@neauoire one of the weird things about FOSS-dedicated people is they'll write a lengthy blog post describing in detail how the FOSS model has been subverted and is working against its original goals, then at the end insist that it's still the right thing to do and we just need more FOSS to fix it.

 @neauoire that's exactly how it ends, though: "Gitpod has already partially resolved the marketplace problem for the Visual Studio Code open-source ecosystem by creating the OpenVSX project and gifting it to the eclipse foundation but the biggest challenge for Gitpod, Datacoves, OpenBB, Foam, et al lies ahead - developing open language tooling for each community where Microsoft has forked the communities over to proprietary language servers..."  @cancel it does say this: "Maybe we need a new movement (or revisit past ideas from the 70s) that focuses on ensuring the openness regarding freedoms of computing (😉) that combat proprietary SaaS offerings? idk." And I think they're unused that there's much worth revisiting these ideas, ends with I don't know. @cancel with NoScript the page looks a bit funky. "developing open language tooling for each community where Microsoft has forked the communities over to proprietary language servers" MS reading like, YESSS, more flags to capture |
@cancel That's not how this article ends tho, the author just says they don't know where to go from there.
