The number of times I see a (presumably) grassroots software or application come out that claims to solve a major point of erasure or negligence by corporations regarding marginalized people so I message them to immediately ask whether their tech. is open-source and…always No.

#like…why?#legitimately #you're not doing anything innovative (tech.-wise)#the /entirety/ of your novelty is that corporations find these people to be so marginal as to not even bother wasting money on #building services or infrastructure for them #so…why are you guarding your code like it's the secret sauce to a service everyone else already supplies(just not to this particular sector #if you're so interested in /helping/ people get services they /need/ to live: why aren't you making sure they can continue to provide these #even if your buisness venture goes under?#or is it that you're hoping you /too/ can be one of the monopolistic corp.s and your golden ticket into the race is temporarily providing #services people – /again/ – *need to /live/*#About Me #About Me Retrospective #Capitalism #Corporations #Open-Source #Disability #Class #Race #Queer
