like for example: react, C# WebM, WebP, av1, and many more
some parts that big tech made, are really hard to replace, due to them, being complex or fundamental to a speific system
how would we replace them (i hope there are existing replacements for the examples i talked about)?
Not everything made by big tech is bad.
React is great. It’s open source. The governance is reasonable. Why should we replace it?
WebP, WebM and AV1 are great open technical formats. We should use them.
If a standard is truly open, then you should judge it on its technical merits, not some weird purity test about where it came from.
sorry to say it, but that maybe wrong, because its big tech, once there are no actual non corporate competitors, they will ruin it
we should know that when we do depend on something too much, it gets ruined
it’s open source though. just clone the previous version and keep building on that. that’s how we got valkey, postgresql, libreoffice, webkit, jenkins, mariadb, all the bsd’s, plex, xorg, wordpress, inkscape, openssh, apache, etc etc etc
Enshittification is SOP. Its open now because they want to lure market diversity into their ecosystem. You have a point.
Judging by the downvotes, it seems we never learn.
