Right now? Bad. Other Big Tech would swoop in and tech their place and try and take their proprietary market share, but a lot of the open source work would be left to die on the vine, including Firefox. It would be a loss of paid talent in the FOSS world and a massive consolidation of big tech.

Good thing for FOSS, maybe. Non-profits suddenly not operating effectively for a few years is arguably worse for a lot of people that depend on them.
Sweet! This is great for people that want to enjoy content people are posting here, but want to avoid places like youtube (where most video content is coming from, even with peertube on the Fediverse or Odyssey having built in payment methods.).
I will say I saw your bot, triple comment on a post.
Do I want an OS that can offload to remote servers? I mean kinda actually, that'd be neat. Do I want another thing in my life to be a subscription I have no control on, absolutely not.
For real though, this would be something the IMF or World Bank might try to standardize on, but even then what a monumental task. All the UN members don't even agree on what kind of exchange system they should use ...
Alienation real for sure, I have to fight that my job all the time. One for me is all of pencil pushing signature block owners I have to talk to. Like I hate to say it, but theres gotta be a better use of both our time then them being road blocks on peoples paths to production.
I know a lot of people that work in union manufacturing jobs that have a real sense of pride and feeling of accomplishment about it. Gotta say, having time off, extra money, and voice in how the company treats you probably goes a long way, because some of those same people hated their non-unions jobs before.
Dictators flocking together while they plan on expanding their imperial reach, but know they will butt into each other's spheres when it's less convenient.
Does Creative Commons and the RAILS licenses not cover most of these models fairly? That is what I tend to see them under.
This is the first time I think I a more convinced that Meta joining isn't in the Fediverse's best interest. The front end is where the users "go", they don't know about the backend. If the front end points to new places, they would have no idea. So Fediverse going to meta, just gives meta users access to more of the internet, at the pleasure of meta's whims. It's partially an issue with the Fediverse model of giving admins power over the communities and users that they host. That, extended to Meta, shows the cracks the most, I think.
Wow that's really cool! Seems like a great way to tinker around with some web dev stuff! Curious to see how this could fit into a greater development pipeline!
I hope Linux gaming can keep growing at a fast pace to combat the inevitable clash.
