Proprietary software didn’t “win” classrooms by accident. It is their sales strategy.
My new blog dives into how vendors turned education into a sales funnel, and why open source can and must catch up.

La dependencia de un único modelo de IA fronteriza es un riesgo estratégico.

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...

It will be virtually impossible to achieve #digitalautonomy if you make decisions without even asking the market to supply new solutions. Not to mention the truly abysmal political implications and background. 👀
Vendor lock-in in cloud storage reduces flexibility.
When switching providers becomes costly or complex, control decreases.
Cloud storage should be portable, transparent, and user-first.
BoultBox offers 100GB free cloud storage — without complicated exit barriers.

Als jemand, der seit 10 Jahren seine RA-Kanzlei bis auf wenige erzwungene Ausnahmen auf FOOS laufen lässt, kann ich das Argument Geld und Mühen grds. nachvollziehen. Alles machbar. Aber im Einzelfall aufwendig. Und Praxen haben ganz andere Äbhängigkeiten von properitärer Software. #vendorlockin
It was an honor to speak at the #FOSDEM. Thank you for the possibility to share my message on how to lead change from closed source to #opensource and why contributing to this transition actually matters more than ever.
In case you missed the talk and would like to join the #FOSS revolution […]
A Controversial Takeaway:
If cloud vendors really cared about your mission, they’d let you leave without a ransom. Non-profits aren’t tech labs. Your impact dies when you fund Azure’s ski trips instead of village networks.

Minimize vendor lock-in by keeping CI workflows generic. Over-reliance on GHA-specific features complicates migration. Design your scripts to be portable, allowing flexibility to switch CI/CD platforms if needed without a major overhaul. #VendorLockIn 6/6
A key debate: Is Anthropic's vendor lock-in a strategic defense to protect its Claude Code ecosystem or a misstep that alienates users? Some argue it's essential for profitability, others believe it stifles an open ecosystem and innovation. #VendorLockin 2/6
Another motive for Anthropic could be long-term revenue generation by promoting their ecosystem & preventing users from mixing models. This fosters vendor lock-in, crucial for capturing value in a competitive AI landscape. #VendorLockin 3/6

AI feels cheap today because competition is fierce.
But what happens when you’re locked into one model?
APIs change. Prices spike. Options disappear.
We’ve seen this before (remember Maps APIs).

Red background with the CrowdStrike logo and stylised falcon, representing a commercial endpoint detection and response platform.
Closed EDRs like CrowdStrike Falcon and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint offer deep visibility —
but also vendor lock-in, opaque detection logic, and full cloud dependency.
You’re expected to trust what you cannot inspect.

Windows Server logo over a blue, data-themed background, representing Microsoft’s server operating system.
🔐 Windows Server is familiar and tightly integrated with Microsoft ecosystems.
But licensing costs, opaque internals, and dependency on a single vendor roadmap can reduce flexibility and complicate long-term infrastructure planning.

macOS Tahoe branding with a blue gradient wave background and the word “Tahoe.”
🍎 macOS offers strong security defaults and polished UX, but tightly binds users to Apple hardware and services. Updates, identity, and ecosystem control sit firmly with the vendor, not the organisation.

The community views these pricing changes as a strategic move by Microsoft towards increased monetization and vendor lock-in for GitHub. Concerns are rising about future cost hikes and limitations on self-hosting, prompting a search for more open platforms. #VendorLockin 4/5

🔐 Platforms like Salesforce or Jira are powerful.
But deep customisation, proprietary workflows, and ecosystem dependencies can make organisations reliant on vendor decisions, pricing models, and roadmaps.

A key insight: MS ecosystem lock-in (SharePoint, Teams, Entra, Intune) makes switching incredibly complex and costly for orgs. Even undesirable price increases often can't overcome these high migration barriers. #VendorLockin 2/5
