Here's the list of Linux Foundation members: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/about/members It's a foundation by, and for, commercial interests; not the users. If the same interests made up a foundation to develop a browser, it wouldn't be different from Chrome; because in the realm where browsers are supposed to work, those 'commercial interests' would demand doing what Chrome does. It's a 'happy accident' that with respect to a unix-like OS kernel, the interests of the industry ended up being compatible with the interests of the user. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz -5 points 2 years ago (2 children) Have any of us paid to have a right to complain? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago Paying for a product does not prevent enshitification permalink fedilink source parent [–] zeca@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 2 years ago yes, the internet wasnt built on charity permalink fedilink source parent
