The all-star team works to develop software that works perfectly and will supplant all open source competition. Once they become dominant they can switch focus to monetizing literally every aspect of its functions and through enshitification destroy everything that made it great. But hey, what are ya gonna do?

Wtf are you guys talking about, like desktop apps are the end all be all of computing. 98 percent of codebases contain open source. There's like 5000 open source libraries in your iphone. For most things there just are no proprietary alternatives. It is the state of the art, ubiquitous in everything from medical equipment to satellites and TVs. The digital economy runs open source, with an estimated worth of 8.8 trillion dollars.

I really try to like these Apps.

But the OpenStreetMap's App sucks. I can't do a U-Turn on the Autobahn. And no, I won't break through a closed Exit. Is there any way to make it that it find a new alternative route when I "miss" or simply can't take the Exit?
