@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.
