[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Which FOSS projects are you speaking of permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) All from Google Code (Chromium, Chromium OS, Android, irbase, etc....) and alot of third parties which include APIs from Google, Facebook and the other mencioned. Well, as FOSS you can all of these gut and fork, but if not, the are not more private and secure as any other proprietary soft. You can take a look also on the over 6200 Microsoft Open Source repositories in GitHub (also from MS), eg Docker, LinuxTracepoints, Live-share..... https://github.com/orgs/microsoft/repositories?type=all Or in the Open Source repositories from Zuckerbot (eg. React) https://opensource.fb.com Also Amazon https://aws.amazon.com/en/opensource/ Most trustworth those from the NASA, but most very specific apps. Maybe Worldwind as alternative to Google Earth. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] krolden@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) Just because its open source doesn't mean its FOSS permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) i know, because off this I named what is FOSS and what is OSS. But even FOSS, when it include APIs, also FOSS, from Big Brothers, it isn't really FOSS, it's only because the traditional definition, same for "Open" Source as such. This is because I said that the traditional definition need a revision. https://miloslav.website/blog/2020/10/26/firefox-privacy/ permalink fedilink source parent [–] Midnight1938@reddthat.com -1 points 2 years ago (1 child) Free and Open Source Software?
