They have all resoundly failed, after looking unbeatable
“Failed” how? Failed in that they sucked to use, yeah. Failed as in people stopped using them? No. Failed as in their profits plummeted? No. Their users are gluttons for abuse and exploitation. And their users are nearly everyone I know. They don’t care.
Now the vast majority of phones run open source Android.
No they don’t. It’s only ~50% of the US market and ~60% of the global market. Also at the time it was a very competitive market and OEMs like Nokia and Motorola all had their day. That hasn’t been true since the original iPhone some 15 years ago.
Open standards always win, in the end.
LOL no they don’t? In fact they almost always don’t.
The desktop computing default is honestly way overdue to switch to FOSS.
It will never be, for the same reason it has a whopping 4% today. It’s complicated and difficult to use, and no one is spending money on marketing to convince people to even try it.
The Fediverse…is all that’ll be left in a couple decades.
That’s nothing but a wild utopian delusion…
Honestly, I wish it were true. I wish you were right. I wish people respected themselves to take the time and learn about all the corporations that are fucking up their lives, and to take the time and learn how to take the according action, but at best they don’t care, and more often then not they will actually go out of their way to defend the corporations that are fucking them. If they cared, the corporations wouldn’t be able to fuck them, and we would live in a completely different world.
