@prologic@twtxt.net hmmm, I feel you are angry so I won’t play as devil’s advocate.
What I can add, something controversial, is that those huge companies like power and controlling who can access to the info is a source of power.

Something that disappoints me is that they use open standards for a while (XMPP for FB Messenger, RSS, email) and when it’s not convenient anymore they stop those APIs.
I understand they need to make money for their investors, but… I don’t know what to say than, we could decide not to be the product.

The problem is the OSI considers this working-as-intended.

@prologic@twtxt.net I think the OSI positions are paid positions via memberships/donations. Which is to say, the status quo is perfectly sustainable… for the OSI.

I had recent conversations with both the OSI’s Executive Director and Standards Director, and both conversations convinced me the OSI does not remotely care about sustainable open source.
