@xyhhx I remember EEE as the strategy Microsoft used against Netscape. They embraced the web, extended it with proprietary HTML elements and the like, and thus extinguished other browsers (for a while).People were worried that this strategy would be used against FOSS as well, but as far as I know, every attempt thus far has failed to grant the offending company any real power, because the community simply forked its product during the extinguish phase.@gunstick @mkoek @SteveBellovin

Exploiting mansplaining as tradecraft during WW II:“If she wants to know something specific, but doesn’t want people to notice her asking questions, she should simply make incorrect statements while in the company of experts. Her companions will correct her, especially if they're men.”From Elyse Graham's “Book and Dagger”, describing a training school for the SOE.
