  • I agree this looks trolly. but to add

    FOSS also has benefits to b2b customers ,
    It gives them supply chain indepence / resilience avoids “vendor lock in” or a million ways to say it…

    It’s a similar benefit to using standardised physical parts in place of something bespoke.

    Even if i’m paying a large tech company for a service, i’d want them using and developing foss so that i can theoretically switch supplier more easily. sure ther’s probably some proprietary data, but not necessarily propritary code/software tools.

    Of course some b2b cusomers seem to really enjoy paying MS and oracle etc. to bend them over a barrel. . .




  • The format doesn’t bother me too much.
    json can be great for sure.

    But I reckon some people could still bung a load of unnecessarily complex layout and aesthetic data in there, and potentially screw up the data structure and still make it harder to access than need be.

    I accept that, if the json is structured logically, it should handle both substantive and layout data, and probably easiest to get to either the content or the formatting.
