#FOSS has an economic value of 8.8 trillion US dollars. Without FOSS companies would have to spend around 3.5 times more money on software. This is according to a study by Harvard Business School. Around 95 percent of this is attributable to 3,000 developers worldwide. In addition, open-source software is included in 96 percent of all codebases. [..] the supply value is 4.15 billion US dollars. In contrast, the demand value is 2000 times higher. image

#FOSS is the great accomplice of #BigTech dominance, by not considering its impact on society and by generally not being produced sustainably. FOSS does not defend its market position, dumping itself on the market and leaving the rest to chance. The vultures know how to make good use of this. FOSS does not worry whether its customer segment - the #Commons - is reached, and evil players are kept out. Big tech manages to win through β€˜free’ in their delivery model, where FOSS sees itself losing.
What a shameful US betrayal of Ukraine witnessed today!

BUT as us #fedizens know.. πŸ’° one dime + πŸ’° one dime = πŸ’Ž 2 cent! The text is in the alternative text, should it be inspirational for your own rallying cry today. Highly recommend: Add a ref. to @npub1p095...m5vl talk! image
