punIssuer@sodiboo True. I'm wondering, was technology ever not owned by that type of people?

@punissuer @sodiboo No. That's always been the case. Tech history is a tug of war between companies, users, and other companies. Ma Bell used to own the physical phones in homes and they were proprietary. The history of Compaq was reverse engineering IBM PCs, and breaking that monopoly. It's always people with money fighting other people with money.
Victoria🏳️⚧️@bryanredeagle @punissuer @sodiboo i would even go as far as to say that tech never was as free as it is now. I mean, the fact that we have operating systems fully composed of FLOSS software now (that are actually usable) is proving this.
It of course doesn't mean things are good, just saying that they are better than in the past.
@tragivictoria @bryanredeagle @sodiboo yes! Even Microsoft is working tirelessly to make either 2025 or at least 2026 the year of the Linux desktop 😄
