RE: https://fosstodon.org/@kdkorte/117048685899000807
Agree here. And it never was a cost play for any smart person. The cost argument is the worst own goal in the history of open source.
Especially since, after all, open source isn't excessively cheaper in many cases if one would operate it with all appropriate care and consideration for safety, compliance and future evolution.

Our new article shows how public contracting authorities can embed digital sovereignty into their procurement processes in practical terms.

My message to open-source advocates, devs, experts, and those who were held back: keep going. No bitterness, no “I told you so.” Help decision-makers, legal, and procurement teams see how it can work and where it already does.
Big Tech makes bold 5-year financial claims, even when they miss the mark. We often hesitate and reject giving estimates because there are too many variables. Make the estimates and provide them to the decision makers.

Оптимизируем Закупки: чеклист топ-10 для формирования потребности с помощью ИИ-аналитика Raft AI4BI
Если зададите «закупщику» вопрос о проблемах, которые ему приходится решать на каждодневной основе, то «пустая рюмка и взгляд полный грусти будет вам ответом». Дальше последует уходящий в бесконечность список с описанием того, что болит, и достается в нем и нашим и вашим. Вспоминают и ненадежных поставщиков, и задержки поставок, и перерасход по контрактам, но в большинстве таких списков фигурирует проблема, настигающая «закупки» еще в самом начале цикла: идентификации потребности и формирования заявки на закупку. Сегодня разберем один из подходов, помогающий снизить градус проблемы с формированием потребностей: внедрение в регламент закупок чек-листа. Покажем на живых примерах, как ИИ-аналитик Raft AI4BI может помочь в имплементации подхода.
