For people like me who are far from software, "open source" software has no meaning.
What will happen if you open everything?
We will not understand.
Even if you explain, we will not understand.
But it's a good thing for those who understand. I can understand that. : ))
I’m learning as I go.
The open, and permissionless nature means that we’ll have more service and product providers with differing perspectives on what and how to build.
The #nostr user will see more value, as there is a lesser chance we will get one closed wall corporation that dinosaurs, and loses the need to provide value to their users.
If something is not built, or not up to par the next dev does not need to ask for permission to build from a corporate.
Permission-less might not be right.
FOSS software is made so by licenses. Which offer certain permissions. Most FOSS uses a type of license that doesn’t allow reproducing and then closing the software.
With more Open Software we will have more collaboration. People learn more as they are put in difficult environments. So if #FOSS becomes the norm, eventually it might not be that difficult to understand.
The short version for me is FOSS means people have the ability to make it what they want it to be. Freedom is invaluable when it comes to software. The most important software we have today was all built on this idea.
Closing software turns it into a money machine. The focus is on a product is removed and replaced with a focus on the perception. The Brand. If you will.
Anyway. Heres a picture of a delicious beverage. Enjoy your day.

Yeah one way to look at it prevents an app or company to get “critical mass” that allows it to enforce its will onto everyone.
In an open system like #nostr, people can change apps and all of their data are automatically there.
Apps, services, and projects are incentivized to do what is good for users.

Bit by bit, do your best, repeat. I believe in you.
❤️🫂 Thank yoı. But I love my job. I want to develop more. I don't need to know this one. My respect to the experts 🤗
Those who can read the code can explain how it works in human readable language to the rest. This has happened a lot with the Twitter algorithm for example.
Popular open source software (e.g. Linux kernel) also has many eyes on it to fix bugs and security vulnerabilities which is good for everyone.
