We are proud that mobian developer kop316 has now gone for a real fork of the unmaintained mmsd and will be trying to get it into Debian. Also @purism will be using his code on the Librem5. It goes both ways! This will hopefully become the basis for The Next Generation of mmsd:

@fribbledom faster at what?
... Otherwise, we'd expect the same dynamic to play out at Google, IBM, etc. The technology landscape has a ton of convicted (or should be convicted) #monopolists, but if #capitalism was the sole reason for producing crap, then all capitalists would be producing crap. There's a culture element in there as well. In my own career, it seems that the degree of autonomy is the key. This implies, that in a world that valued quality, cooperatives should rule, but somehow Microsoft still has a monopoly.
