Oh. It’s you again. Good to see your shallow takes haven’t changed.
I don't remember you, but I get Dunning-Krueger vibes from things you write which seem to be typical "Linux as a success story" quotes without insight.
Can’t you have the foresight to actually read and research
I prefer to observe them in the wild. I mean, that is what's called research, but it strongly seems that you by research mean something else.
why things like the FOSS projects we rely on are validated? Linux is owned by no one, and is used by everyone who wants to.
This is as fallacious as "scientific communism" and for the same reason. Because there are dimensions of this where the general consensus of those actually applying resources is neutrality, where it works as you say, and there are dimensions where it's not.
Or you might read that Karl Popper's article on the blind zones of dialectics. Corporate participation in a big common open project works similarly to dialectics.
Corporate users are a feature, not a bug, and if anything, their adoption does more to cement the success of the project more than anything else.
Having a stronger Prussia did nothing of the sort for the HRE, and having Ustinov as minister of defense with all his power did nothing of the sort for the USSR, and Google did nothing of the sort for the Web.
But I prefer to live this through with many things today, rather than try to fix it to my limited ability.
