I'm not even sure what the message is. FOSS has never been more attractive or easy to use (on the large scale at least, never mind the weirdos freaking over xz). There's FOSS for most everything, in some cases better than most paid options.
Corpos gunning for FOSS? That's always been here.
They're gunning for the user, whom they wish to exploit. The user clings to FLOSS alternatives in an attempt to avoid having their data harvested, analyzed, weaponized, and leveraged against the user for profit.
Yes, Like I literally said: Gunning for FOSS isn't new.
that was my intention. thanks for putting it into words
