The history part explains where we are today. Personal computing forged the development path of Internet 1.0 up until circa 2005/2007, when consumer electronics flooded the "data network" with throw-away devices and abandoned software eWaste. Think of this as a digital Pangaea up to this point.
Soooo. Personal computing OSS can build data networks and consumer electronics can kill data networks and online environments.....Hmmmmmm. I can easily see how digital Pangaea gets broken up.
FOSS needs to adapt in the current climate with new data networks for distribution (built and funded by personal computing). The do indeed have millions of fans to support them. The easiest method is to create monthly/weekly/quarterly OSS digests and distribute them in 1GB compressed files over TCP/IP. Calling it a side-band network is kinda cheesy, but FOSS could then (for example) put island wifi networks near libraries/schools/tech areas and distribute their PCOSS (personal computing opensource sw) beyond the reach of Internet 1.0 (only using it to distribute to "offline/alt-network repositories") and the PCOSS users will adapt easily in short order.
CEOSS (consumer electronics opensource sw) will continue to lift code to make a penny, until the next opportunity comes along (monkey cloning is a aptly named label for it. SEO used to scrape and spin content, while getting higher SERP rankings using inferior workflows. It looks like the same people doing the same thing with ML hype).

So FOSS just makes a storefront on Internet 1.0 and curates shelves full of respins and sells them to support their FOSS efforts (all's fair in the digital slums)... No testing.. No support...No community.... Just use the same inferior workflows and shill cheap imitations to idiots........ The "cheap Charlie" corps will gladly buy the inferior software/package respins for cash with no strings attached... The upsell potential is there too :p
When new data networks start popping up more frequently, "Divide and Prosper" should be the new classic saying with PCOSS.... The buffet has always been 1st class. The consumer electronic junkies can continue their "feast and famine" cycle on CEDN's (Consumer electronic data networks) while the buffet continues on all of the new PCDN's (personal compute data networks)... Commodity compute comes to mind when I look at the future of personal computing... Text, images, audio and video.... The apps are what creates technology debt... Not the raw data.. You'll never need an update for text, images, audio and video files... Even GNU guarantees that, as well as many other orgs... the TIAV's are also easily distributed in 1GB volumes/digests, with 4GB's even easier with physical media.....
Text, images, audio and video is the perfect data to build new data networks with too... Writing apps on new data networks is a thing as well (writing in a trusted environment vs untrusted environments changes the whole flow of life).. Divide and Prosper aka The healthy people moved away (digital redlining) :)
