The duality of man
1) Techlash slopulism is cringe AF and I will ally with Big Tech when necessary.
2) FOSS software is way more based than legacy IP bloatware, and shifting the ecosystem to FOSS options is ideal.

It is mass psychosis that the MS Office suite is the standard for schools and governments when it is overpriced and sucks. Every open source Office suite is compatible with Word documents, has the same features and is free

We often talk about large-scale migrations to #LibreOffice, such as in the Austrian Military. But many small businesses are switching away from Microsoft, Google and other tech giants too: blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/11... #foss #opensource #freesoftware

i'm not one to shit on something without providing alternatives. if you're of the opinion of "genai is still, like, kind of good for programming right?" we don't need it actually! here's a moderated list of open source software you can use that is LLM-free

i would recommend a locally hosted FOSS model for a use case like this. correlation engines are very helpful for organizing large data sets, but you don’t typically need a corporate model for that.
