@smallcircles it is impossible to do a complex topic justice in a toot, but I think it boils down to: the baddies are huge and well-funded. FOSS makes things cheaper for everyone. Yes, that makes it cheaper for the baddies as well - but it gives team-good a fighting chance at all. So it helps the good more than it helps the bad.

@raboof Yes. But then the last sentence then is what this hinges on. What is the net outcome? How much bad can the baddies do with the fruits of our labor, given the money and power they can throw into execution? If that is sizable, aren't we fighting the rear-end battle to solve the problem we helped cause? I pondered about this in another sub-branch.. https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116316721014560422
