- Peter W Follow @wang.social I'm addressing what I assessed as your underlying point, namely big tech "capture" of something you like. I'm not here to defend the evils of Big Tech. But I can plainly see that large-scale for-profit activity has benefited open tech. What about a Microsoft acquisition would be so terrible? November 20, 2024 at 6:38 AM
- Peter Woo @wang.social Follow It's not about resilience to purchase. GitHub got purchased and you can still move your git repos. ATP is still a baby protocol, yes. But its design allows different providers at different layers of the stack. Your identity on ATP can never be taken away from you: it's DNS, and you and I can use it
