alias docker=podmanWhy the heck would you feel sure of that? What evidence makes you think anything in Amazon's DNA would go in that direction? Amazon is blatantly missing from every open source conversation or ecosystem I've ever encountered. They give essentially NOTHING back except cheap infra as a service, and we pay dearly for it with the losses we get from their predatory behaviour toward any competing products
I use Amazon. But they're garbage for ecosystems.
imho Amazon is only good for Amazon (in the larger timescale), and maybe also for finding whatever economic McGuffin lies at the bottom of whatever race they happen to be in.
The existence and usage of “Open Distro for Elasticsearch” is not debatable. Whether it infringes trademarks is in court and whether a third party infringed elastic’s copyrights is also in court.
But also, that's contributing "out", not contributing "back". It's the difference between working with your neighbours, vs leaving your extra shit around your house on the curb for someone else to take.
The mechanics of how they relate to the groups from which they filter wealth, that matters imho.
When I get frustrated about how they don't really contribute, it's that I'm intensely cynical about the worldview from which their offerings come.
Anyhow, thanks for the generous comment, and the chance to reflect :)
