We misunderstand the strengths of the commons of tools and not knowing how we play to our strengths.

Free software today is usually promoted through big brands like libreoffice, gimp or firefox. These are successful in terms of branding, but is not playing to the strengths of the commons. In the commons, we move away from the walled and towards the interconnected.

The strenghts doesn’t lie in bloated and branded tools, but rather in the small tools that anyone can make if they have some spare time. We need to reframe away from the bloatedness to the caresome. Where the tools are easily made, available by birth and easily tinkerable.

And we need towards the descriptive instead of the branded. Towards letting words dictate tools instead of tools dictating words.

Today operating systems revolves around the branded, bloated and wasteful. The lokening is to move towards operating systems that inbosoms the caresome and descriptive.

    Maybe put more thought into this because misspelling in the title and throughout your handful of sentences doesn’t help your weak point.

    Of course, most FOSS is small. One of the original goals of FOSS software was to be small and do one job well. Open the gnome software store and it’s all descriptive.

    It’s easy to make a claim if you don’t know what you’re talking about. Maybe go explore more examples beyond the three you discount lol
