@papiris@hachyderm.io @postmarketOS@social.treehouse.systems @freifunk@social.freifunk.net @kde@floss.social @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz @Mastodon@mastodon.social My wife brought an interesting argument to this topic: She is not opposing this, not at all, but she argued that technically not the whole community would benefit from open source because often in practice open source is more of a hobbyist niche. KDE, for example, isn't something your neighbour would care about.
I do kind of agree, but I also think this is changing rapidly and more people are interested in learning about open source.

@fell@ma.fellr.net well, to be honest, also not a lot of people care a lot about the Kleinkleckersdorf e.V. soccer club. That doesn't mean that it's useless per se. @papiris@hachyderm.io @postmarketOS@social.treehouse.systems @freifunk@social.freifunk.net @kde@floss.social @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz @Mastodon@mastodon.social
