Please familiarize yourself with them


2) All posts must end with a '?'This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spamPlease do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

like for example: react, C# WebM, WebP, av1, and many more

some parts that big tech made, are really hard to replace, due to them, being complex or fundamental to a speific system

how would we replace them (i hope there are existing replacements for the examples i talked about)?

Not everything made by big tech is bad.

React is great. It's open source. The governance is reasonable. Why should we replace it?

WebP, WebM and AV1 are great open technical formats. We should use them.

If a standard is truly open, then you should judge it on its technical merits, not some weird purity test about where it came from.

Looks like a sound advice!

Right on pitch

Dammit, beat me to it!

Slowly and with an open source offering. But also by making the alternatives so easy that choosing proprietary is actually harder.

This is pretty off-base for what OP is asking about.

React and C# are open source.

WebM, WebP, and AV1 are open standards that have mature and well developed open source implementations.

Literally every item OP asked about is already OSS. OP just doesn't like that they originated at Meta, Microsoft, and Google.

On a big tech question session, eh, OP?

[–] one_old_coder@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago

If it's open-source or patent-free, no need to replace those things.

C# WebM

What?
