The Broken System of Open Source (And How We're Fixing It)

My current 8 year old pc build is certainly going to be my last windows build. I’m tired of being advertised to, exploited and merged into a data pool for corporate gain, Windows stopped offering solutions and became the problem.

Bye bye, Windows 10! Microsoft is stopping support for the operating system today. If you're still using it, now is a good time to consider alternatives such as Linux, which is free and open source (like LibreOffice): blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2025/10... #endof10

If you’re so new to tech that you didn’t know Microsoft owns these things then you’re also too new to tech to have a negative impression of Microsoft as a developer.

#opensource is a better alternative to closed software, it’s more reliable, iterative and secure, but from top to bottom, funding is unreliable, and major corporations put undue pressure on developers and maintainers, so let’s change this, youtu.be/0XqwXj0Rrx0

For companies, you are using their code, I don't need to argue that it has value to you, if it didn't have value you wouldn't be using it, just show the developers and maintainers that you recognise them and their work, and prop up the foundations you are built on.

SJ Creative @sjcreativestudio.bsky.social · 17/09/2025

They want to encourage companies that use open source code, to think of the maintainers and developers and reward them, give them an incentive so it doesn't feel thankless. Then, the developers have more gusto to keep developing, keep maintaining for a healthy ecosystem.

Because you've stopped other systems fail. You feel a sense of responsibility, but that responsibility doesn't go both ways. They don't feel responsible for your mental health or your quality of life. With Drips' continuous dependency funding they want to encourage companies to change.

SJ Creative @sjcreativestudio.bsky.social · 17/09/2025

Then you keep slaving away, no one thanks you, but they all depend on you. It takes up your evenings and your weekends. Then there is a security risk, and you're up in the middle of the night so that companies products remain online. Then you're tired. So you decide, I've had enough, and you stop.

SJ Creative @sjcreativestudio.bsky.social · 17/09/2025

A real solution for #opensource? People argue open source is free, why should I pay for it. But so many platforms exist on a bedrock of open source. Imagine you're a #developer, you create something because it was a fun problem to solve, but then you're expected to maintain it... forever!

This could fix open-source funding! 🤯 #shorts

#OpenSource provides fantastic, innovative and potentially tariff resistant alternatives to Adobe, Microsoft, Google etc. But these open source innovations are always under threat by the power (money) that the tech giants wield, support open source and incentivise resisting takeovers.
