@anttipeltola@mastodon.world I am sure they will obey you.

@anttipeltola@mastodon.world the #4opens is a good test. Use #4opens as a litmus test, not a manifesto. It works best like this: “Cool project. Let’s do a quick sanity check.” is it: Open code? Open data? Open standards? Open governance? If the answers get vague, defensive, or managerial, that’s your signal. You don’t need to argue, simply don’t invest trust or energy. Capture starves quietly when it isn’t fed.

@anttipeltola@mastodon.world I've been a big fan of open standards since just after the term "open software" came into being.

@anttipeltola@mastodon.world further decentralization would be beneficial too. That would be best served with self-hosting, which also would benefit from symmetric internet speeds, and by now, it would need IPv6 everywhere.

@anttipeltola@mastodon.world I share your values, but the issue in that plan is that big moonshots and major technical improvements need multi year huge investments at loss. And that requires a company with a big enough budget that it can afford that loss. So if we don’t want big techs we need to find another model to fund big moonshots.

@anttipeltola@mastodon.world something German/Scandinavian would be good. Well designed and built, decentralized by nature, green in intent and inherently nonviolent. Tech as public utility. Not for profit.

@anttipeltola@mastodon.world one point I've repeatedly raised with lawmakers is that if we just build European big tech, then it risks being acquired and we'll be back to square one.

@anttipeltola@mastodon.world @otfrom@functional.cafe I think Cory Doctorow has the right idea - enforce standards to make the tech interoperable (the software equivalent of the USB-C mandate) and encourage competition. And beef up the anti-monopoly enforcement so that each country can foster multiple organisations.

@anttipeltola@mastodon.world You'll need to fight tooth and fucking nail. The world's worst predators are coming for you, and they're out to wreck everything from your social safety nets to national sovereignty to your water and air. The EU is already compromised-- Yanis Varoufakis and others have been trying to warn everyone for years how the big banks and megacorps are working to dismantle their prey.

@anttipeltola@mastodon.world One of the steps I keep hoping for is absolutely no government contracts for something where there aren't at least two independent interoperable products or services which are completely independent implementations of the open protocols or standards. So if you want to sell a support contract for office software, the office software has to be one of at least two implementations which are (testably! in great detail, testably!) equivalent implementations of the open standard.
