Comment on Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software
3abas@lemmy.world 1 week agoOpen source will innovate so much faster if properly funded, without the shackles of copyright and companies holding advancements secret and not releasing innovations on purpose as long as they hold on edge on “competition”. Competition is only important because of proprietary capitalism, remove capitalism and directly reward the workers and innovation happens for innovation’s sake.
Can’t wait for this to be proven in practice, and to be able to apply that more widely to society. Godspeed Europe

How can I compete, it isn’t like I can just look at your code and copy it into something better

Exactly, copyright and priority technology means everyone that wants to innovate must first reinvent the wheel and waste enormous energy doing work that’s already been done.
Look at Google photos, since they killed Picasa and exclusively offered it as a proprietary SAAS, they completely stopped innovating for over a decade. Look at immich in comparison, it’s already a better offering and it has only been released as stable for less than a year.
