@mootastic: Article examining the time it takes for an open source alternative to emerge for a given commercial software (Time Till Open Source Alternative, TTOSA) for a given commercial software.

@m_sekijima: @twk @mootastic It’s been 20 years since it came out and Photoshop hasn’t been destroyed by GIMP, Office hasn’t been destroyed by OpenOffice either, so it’s not easy.
@takesiinaba: @m_sekijima @twk @mootastic But photoshop has been somewhat eclipsed by the processing capabilities of Instagram and tiktok, you know. It has gone unnoticed because it has created more demand at the same time than it has eradicated.
