Islamic Audiobooks Central<a href="https://linuxrocks.online/@freedomtux" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@freedomtux</a> Agreed, but the term <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/freesoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#freesoftware</a> is even more misleading or ambiguous than <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensource</a>. Perhaps, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/freedomtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#freedomtech</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/libretech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#libretech</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/libertytech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#libertytech</a>, etc. are more suitable as they can include software, hardware, protocols and standards, and money.

We should feed the proprietary silo? Deny our community the very freedom and joy of using open tech? Oppose our own work and values? How sad, how ridiculous. No!

Julian FoadOpen tech, be afraid. Be very afraid. Microsoft owns both Visual Studio Code “VSCode” and MS-GitHub, two intertwined and utterly proprietary product-service ecosystems with a bit of open-source in their core to lure us in. Because they love open source? Yeah, no.Soon after leaving GitPod whose technology links the two, Geoffrey Hunt last year explained their strategy and what it’s doing to our open tech world, in a great and “harrowing” article, “Visual Studio Code is designed to fracture” <a href="https://ghuntley.com/fracture/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://ghuntley.com/fracture/</a> <blockquote>“The future of software development tooling that is being built is closed as ****, and people seem to be okay with it…”</blockquote>This is why MS-GitHub is not our friend.This is why falling for their trick, disguising MS-VSCode as a neat “free” editor, will come back and haunt and hurt us.Vendor lock-in double-whammy. Using open source as “a financial weapon”.<blockquote>“… the biggest challenge for Gitpod, GitLab, Datacoves, OpenBB, Foam, et al lies ahead - developing open language tooling for each community where Microsoft has forked the communities over to proprietary language servers…”</blockquote>If we have a grain of public spirit, if we are motivated at all by the Freedom that’s supposed to be afforded by Free-Libre Open-Source Software, we must <a class="hashtag" href="https://fed.foad.me.uk/tag/giveupgithub" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GiveUpGithub</a>, we must recognise the trap, we must choose truly open <a class="hashtag" href="https://fed.foad.me.uk/tag/freedomtech" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreedomTech</a>.<ul><li>See also my <a href="https://wrily.foad.me.uk/foss-apps-live-in-foss-forges" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">FOSS Apps Live in FOSS Forges</a> .</li></ul>
