Now I know you may have me on mute, @BrodieOnLinux ...
But let me repeat again: #Snap packages rely on a centralized repository. Let me repeat:
#Cannonical is trying to do a #VendorLockin situation with snaps, whereby they become the gatekeeper to your software.
Juxtapose that with #flatpak, which is designed from the get go to be repo agnostic. Sure, you need the #FreeDesktop runtimes for most flatpak repos, but it isn't actually a hard dependency.

🎙️ Folge 03: Wenn der Magenta-Riese kippt
Microsoft hat der Telekom den CSP-Distributor-Status entzogen. Broadcom drückt Margen, Veeam reduziert das VCSP-Programm.
Drei Fälle, ein Muster. 31 Min zur Frage, was T2-Partner stattdessen tun sollten.

**Wenn der Magenta-Riese kippt: drei Fälle, ein Muster.**
Microsoft hat der Deutschen Telekom gerade den CSP-Indirect-Distributor-Status entzogen. Stichtag 20. Mai. Brack/Alltron in der Schweiz: schon raus. KOMSA in Deutschland: auch raus. Telekom: jetzt auch.
Parallel, gleiches Muster bei anderen Vendoren:
🔻 **Broadcom/VMware**: alle Partnerverträge 2024 gekündigt, nur ausgewählte zurückgelassen. Margen historisch halbiert. Wer Pinnacle-Status behalten wollte, hat ihn mit erheblichen Zugeständnissen erkauft.
🔻 **Veeam**: reduziert das VCSP-Programm gerade massiv. Aggregatoren und Service-Provider verlieren ihre Rental-Lizenzen – inklusive global agierender Lizenzhäuser und etablierter DACH-Player.
Drei verschiedene Auslöser (Distributor-Schwelle / PE-Übernahme / IPO-Vorbereitung), dieselbe Mechanik: Der Vendor sitzt am längeren Hebel. „Partnerschaft" ist kein Status, sondern ein Privileg, das jederzeit entzogen oder neu verhandelt werden kann.
Die populäre Antwort darauf – „lasst uns Partner als Block bündeln, dann haben wir mehr Verhandlungsmasse" – kollektiviert das Abhängigkeitsproblem, statt es zu lösen. Größer-werden gegen einen Hersteller, der schneller größer wird, ist keine Strategie. Symptom-Behandlung. Kein Architektur-Fix.
Was wirklich trägt: Vendor-agnostisches Tooling, Distributoren mit echter Vendor-Neutralität, Migrations-Runbooks bevor die Mail kommt, und FOSS-Alternativen ernsthaft pilotieren – Proxmox, Nextcloud, Nakivo sind 2026 belastbar genug.
Wer keine Alternative kennt, kann nicht verhandeln.

Today it is Mythos. Tomorrow it will be something else.
The pattern stayvendorlockin #securitystrategy #appsec #operationalresiliencempanies need urgency to position themselves.
Everyone wants to attach themselves to the next big wave and present themselves as the answer.
Real organizational readiness is not about pushing AI into every layer because the current panic cycle says so. The practical test for any change is much simpler:
• Does it strengthen existing tools and workflows?
• Does it preserve model and vendor optionality?
• Does it reduce backlog and repetitive operational drag?
• Does it reduce attack surface by removing software, access, and exposure you do not need?
• Does it reinforce the boring fundamentals like inventory, patching, least privilege, segmentation, and recovery?Without those checks, you are mostly just trading places. One dependency gets swapped for another. One vendor stack gets replaced by another. One kind of complexity becomes another. Very little materially improves.
Most of the time, we just kick the ball a few months further down the road and call it progress.
I wrote about many of these ideas in my pragmatic guide: https://cyfinoid.com/a-pragmatic-guide-to-being-mythos-ready/

Product Warning: do *not* buy #ebikes with #bosch motors/controllers. they are locked-down by some #evil #proprietary shit and try to #vendorlockin you into their shitty products. the motors are good, but the apps, the navigation, are horrible, and #interoperability with devices and apps of other vendors is actively hindered.
learn from my mistake, don't repeat it.
pls discuss products/vendors that are open and interoperable in comments below.

@AwetTesfaiesus das sieht für,mich aus, als hätten da Google, oder LinkedIn ihre Finger im Spiel.
Klickt man nämlich in deren App auf einen Link, wird der nicht im Gerätebrowser geöffnet, sondern im App-Internen.
Und natürlich klebt der nochmal die eigene Werbung überall hin, wo sie keinen Sinn macht.
Inzwischen gibt es auch keine Möglichkeit mehr in den Einstellungen, der App zu sagen, sie soll Links im Standard-Browser öffnen. Klassisches #VendorLockIn und #enshitifcation .

While I would never buy an Apple product myself, this is an interesting product and a clever strategic move on Apple's part especially as an alternative to the upcoming subscription model Windows 12 from #Microsl0p

Sehr schön. Andree hat in beiden Büchern aufeinander aufbauend die Fakten strukturiert vorgeführt zum Themenkomplex #DigitaleSouveränität, #Medienregulierung, #VendorLockin und #Monopolisierung, die Trump, Thiel, Musk, US TechBros ausnutzen, um damit Demokratie durch #Deregulierung zu vernichten. Für den maximalen Profit in Milliardenhöhe. Und er zeigt auf, dass dies seit Jahren schon maximal etabliert wurde!
Andree vermittelt eine klare Agenda zu Ursachen und Auswirkungen...

Evernote is forcing a decision on me
As a creature of app habit, I’ve kept paying for Evernote even as the rates for my note-taking app of choice have increased considerably–mainly because the new management at that service has improved it tremendously. But now that Evernote’s corporate parent Bending Spoons has discontinued my $129.99/year Personal plan and presented me with a choice between a $99.99/year Starter plan that seems clearly inadequate and a $249.99/year Advanced plan that brings more than I need, I need to rethink that habit.
That 92% rate increase itself requires reconsideration, but it’s not the only thing. There’s the odds of a company on a venture-capital-fueled spending spree that somehow incluces buying AOL will see fit to jack up the annual rate again; I also have to assess whether Evernote’s bosses might make it harder to take my data out of the app that I’ve used since 2010.
But looking over such other note-taking app options as OneNote, Joplin, and Notion while comparing their features, I don’t see an obvious escape pod.
These are my priorities in this indecision-making process, in rough order of descending importance:
- Cross-platform support–macOS, Windows, Android, iOS–is not negotiable, which is why I didn’t mention Apple Notes above.
- I need any other app to import my Evernote archives no less than one notebook at a time; that seems to rule out Microsoft’s OneNote, even though I pay for it as part of my Microsoft 365 subscription.
- I need reliable synchronization, ideally the almost real-time sync that Evernote now does so well. That may be the thing I need to trade to shave all or part of $250 a year from my online-services budget.
- Yearly cost below this year’s $129.99.
- Offline support, because I know how well CES WiFi works.
- Voice transcription for recording interviews, which I’ve come to rely on over the past year.
- Text recognition from a photo of a business card, so I can look up the details of somebody I met without adding them to my contacts list.
- Robust export options so I don’t get stuck in another company’s silo.
- The option of encrypting at least some notes on an end-to-end basis.
- A long-term focus from the app’s developers–why I don’t consider Google Keep, since Google introducing that a week after killiing Google Reader still leaves me with trust issues beyond my trying to reduce the number of single points of failure in my digital life.
Looking over this and comparing it to the research I’ve done so far, I think this makes me look like a Joplin user. Unless the lag that open-source app cites–the most frequent sync interval it allows for the OneDrive cloud storage I already pay for is every five minutes–instead makes me look like somebody who should suck up the extra cost of Evernote, considering what a small fraction it is of my other operating costs.
I wish this choice were clearer. I also wish that I didn’t have to figure this out at the peak cognitive-load period of my year.

🔚 Price hikes & vendor lock-in – what now? 🔚
The announced end-of-life of Confluence Data Center is causing great uncertainty: rising license costs, limited flexibility, and growing dependence on the vendor make reliable future planning difficult.
✨BlueSpice offers you a fair, stable, transparent, and future-proof alternative.

@AliveDevil A similar problem I have with my favoured #KeePass Client on #MacOS and #iOS: #Strongbox. The tool was just sold to a sketchy new owner and I do not trust them with the security of my passwords.
But that’s also the nice thing with #KeePass. Not happy with the client anymore? Use another! So minimum #vendorlockin .

Ich #degoogle gerade mein Smartphone und würde gern mit #threema vom PlayStore weg.
Allerdings benötigt #threemalibre eine Lizenz, und Threema über Google nicht, auch wenn ich vor vielen Jahren dafür bezahlt habe.
Ich stehe also vor der Entscheidung, Threema aufzugeben oder nochmal mehr als das doppelte von meinem damals bezahlten Preis zu investieren. -.-
Das muss dieser #vendorlockin sein.
Und @threemaapp kann vermutlich noch nicht mal etwas dazu. :0100: -

Nur so ne ganz verwegene Idee: Vielleicht liegt es ja am zu eingefahrenen sein im #Apple #VendorLockIn, oder an fehlender eigener #Medienkompetenz, wenn alle anderen Geräte nicht gefallen oder angeblich nicht zusammenarbeiten. 🤔🤷
Bei mir arbeiten jedenfalls diverse goglefreie #Android Geräte, #Linux Distros auf diversen Geräten, Server, #Nextcloud, #Kodi #Mediacenter, #TVReceiver, #Digitalkamera, #Actioncam, #Homeassistant, #Wallbox 1a zusammen.
Außerdem nehmt bei #Apple mal den Sync mit den Apfelservern weg, dann bleibt vom Zusammenarbeiten nicht mehr viel übrig. Vielleicht noch #Airdrop und #AppleTV, wobei ich bei Apples Geschäftspolitik selbst da Zweifel habe 😉
Aber man kann natürlich viel (!!!) Geld dafür bezahlen, #Apple (oder anderen #Datenkraken) seine #Daten auf dem Silbertablett zu servieren.
Ich weiß schon, ihr habt ja auch nichts zu verbergen. Deshalb steht in eurem Wohn- und Schlafzimmer sicher auch die Cam mit Livestream ins Internet, und ihr veröffentlicht eure gesamte Kommunikation, Bankdaten, Gesundheitsdaten etc. in der Tagespresse, gell 🤣
Wirklich immer wieder erstaunlich, welche Gehirnwäsche das angebissene Obst auslöst 🤷 -

Hey FOSS-community, I'm trying to compare #GitLab and @forgejo.
Some important aspects are:
- #DigitalSovereignty (most important)
- #SelfHosting
- #Collaboration between instances (#federation)
- #PublicValues
- Prevention of #VendorLockIn
- #Scalability
- #Robustness
- Guaranteed #support by professionals
- Software #freedom
- #Longevity
- Suitability for the #governmentDo you have any thoughts on this? Or any useful links?

Just to make it clear:
1. #Mir was "not invented here" syndrome
2. so was #Unity
3. and #snaps is #VendorLockInNow, with their new dual licensed #Rust based #userland stack, methinks I won't be trying it out.
I want #Free #Libre #OpenSource #Software, and I want it as a matter of #security, #autonomy and #privacy.
I won't be lead down a garden path, straight into a #WalledGarden. We're supposed to get out of those, not back in.

@Kabbaway @fedihost it is not an easy puzzle and it is a direct outcome of #vendorlockin practices and freemium business models. We have blogged about this https://cloud68.co/blog/we-need-to-talk-about-vendor-lock-in. If there are budget limitations @yunohost is a good way to have your online presence It is free as in free ice cream, but in capitalistic terms you pay with your time to set it up. Good news is that you end up learning and exploring + you become part of the self hosting community. #RABT

De Informatiebeveiligingsdienst (IBD) van de #VNG adviseert om voorlopig terughoudend te zijn met het verwerken van persoonsgegevens via #M365 #Copilot totdat Microsoft meer transparantie en controle biedt.
Ik adviseer: Gebruik helemaal geen M365-producten van #Microsoft. #Gemeenten kunnen niet inzien wat de code precies doet. Alleen bij vrij #opensource-software is het mogelijk de code te inspecteren. Ook voorkomt het #vendorlockin.

#Degoogling #android sure ain't easy.
Certain apps reliance upon #GooglePlay makes it almost impossible to get rid of.
For instance, I've got an app for a grocery store that allows payment through your card by just scanning a QR code.
The payment method refuses to be activated when the Google Play app is deactivated.
It's pretty obvious to anyone: this is #MonopolyByDefault, #VendorLockin and even a form of #DRM.
I already confirmed my identity by way of #BankID. What more is needed?

Certain apps reliance upon #GooglePlay makes it almost impossible to get rid of.
For instance, I've got an app for a grocery store that allows payment through your card by just scanning a QR code.
The payment method refuses to be activated when the Google Play app is deactivated.
It's pretty obvious to anyone: this is #MonopolyByDefault, #VendorLockin and even a form of #DRM.
I already confirmed my identity by way of #BankID. What more is needed?

Finding a sleek, distraction free #markdown editor for #Android is rough, especially when paired with a cloud storage provider that isn't #Google.
My candidates were #OpenNote and #Quilpad, but both take away power from the user by preventing them from managing their own files.
Both refuse to work with the Android cloud provider backend, to a point where I can't even import my MD files from #Jottacloud.
One has experimental support for #Nextcloud tho, which smells like #vendorlockin.

The democratisation of fitness trackers through the import/export feature of GPX data removes vendor lock-in and thereby puts the value in the presentation of the data and/or the community around/within the app.

Ah, the age-old debate: #SaaS, the eternal promise of liberation from technical drudgery, 🤖 only to ensnare you in a labyrinth of dependencies, mystery fees, and mind-numbing decision fatigue. 😵💫 But hey, at least your vendor lock-in now comes with a sleek, modern logo and the illusion of choice. 🎨✨

Is dit ok? Expliciet naar producten van een bepaalde leverancier vragen? Is dit goed voor de #DigitaleAutonomie en #DigitaleSoevereiniteit van de Nederlandse samenleving.
Waarom werd er niets over vrije #opensource software gezegd?
