@ gym:
Hello possible M $ employee, I hope you are well. Just joking on that last part.
The number of “highly successful” phos “or” open source “projects is quite small.”
Only if your head is in sand and you do not use them. I like how you posted a few days after the original post, perhaps in the hope that no one would answer until then? Am I right to laugh out loud!
“This is essentially Communism versus capitalism.”
No, it’s not, and you know better. ,
“When the bottom line is money and profits, you have no choice but to create a competent, functional product (usually look good, with a functional UI) otherwise your product will be thrown out by those who are better.”
I like the use of “Dhar” there. Laughing loudly! See, even Gates said that you need to make a need for people for your need. It is a loose quotation he has said. In addition, they pirate your software, which is another loose quotation. Windows is not by any remedy, nor has it ever been a “competent” “functional product”. It is a state of rootkits and other adventures that is shovel for you by a corrupt guilty monopoly that wants to rule, but cannot be because Foss keeps them under investigation.
When you worship money and are greedy, you do all this and are not ready to know any limit. You are not developing for people, you are developing for profit. Obviously you were not during the years of Windows 95/98, where blue screen was abundant. Why do you think so many, who no one knew about the Windows option and most still, surprised and happy with XP/7? Partly because they were not blue screening all the time.
This is what has been brought in the M $ table:
“An open letter for hobies” is an open letter of 1976, written by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, for the early individual computer hobbies, in which gates express disappointment over the widespread repetition of software in the Hobbyst community, especially in relation to their company’s software. ,

So you see, free and open source software was attacking from the beginning and remains the same. If M $ they can crush Linux, but they cannot. It is not for lack of effort.
Fwiw:

“When the inspiration is:” We just want to like, create an open source library that anyone can use, we care about the man in the world! “Or other such hippie nonsense – of course, good projects will arise,”
First, it is easy to prepare the philosophy and objectives of independent and open source software (and hardware!) As “hippie fuck”, and wrong. It is about philosophy, for example:
https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/
“Such as FFMPEG, but their development will slow down, as everything is essentially done as a freelance hobbist, or a proximal counterpart.”
With fosses, anyone can contribute. But people have to eat and live to work instead of eating. Time is of the essence. Certainly, if Foss had marketing and wealth of corporations such as M $, obviously more and more people would develop/contribute to Foss.
But see what we get for all Arabs in Microsoft. We get buggy proprietary code with more distant feats in the history of all Windows avatars than any other OS! We get software out of our control, we cannot audit it like fosses nor we can make a reproducible build.
If you really want to live with real news about M $, be sure to travel:
A voice in the forest. The boy behind it, dedicating his precious time and attempt to highlight evil, has suffered serious harassment from M $ and his minions. If you completely detect the man’s website, you will come with a different perspective. But only if you are not on M $ payroll, which I can smell a mile one mile. I know that when I study with them, I attack dogs. They send different levels of mute against FOSS advocates, depending on how serious/informs the FOSS lawyer.
The phos is changing the world, while fighting against rubbing by a huge that does not know that they died long ago, and are really on life support because they make profits and people blood.
Foss will finally win. Because it is a community that brings us together, these are people who refrain from being broken (justice have failed us) yet support other “monopoly” because they become blind and hypocritical with greed.
How many chairs did Balmer throw away and what did he say about killing Google again? Don’t look forward to the Novel how far is an M $ “partnership”.
