It's enshittification all the way down
I guess people expected our commercial world to work at least decently well
But the more time goes on the more that illusion is shattering.
In addition, the work is never fully lost.
If unity goes to shit, welp, cannot use any of unity's code at all. Years and years of engine development wasted.
If some FOSS software goes to shit? That code is still there. Just take it and unshittify it. Little to no work wasted.
On the other hand, most people who ended up getting a diagnosis for some form of neurodivergence had suspicions themselves before specifically asking to get tested. In my experience, medical professionals really are not looking out for stuff as much as they should.
I myself ended up getting a diagnosis as an adult after my own insistence at getting tested, despite how obvious it was my whole life.
How much more powerful can he be? He'd be more powerful if he was more subtle about stuff and people weren't ready to fight against him.
It's much better to effectively use him as an argument for why billionaires shouldn't exist. Fuel for the fire of change.
He is one of the richest people in the world.
The more news about billionaires like this pop up, the easier it will be to argue that maaaaaaaybe we shouldn't be giving them that much power in society.
If that isn't a massive red flag, nothing else is.
Many organizations writing open source stuff are hiring people to work full-time. You might not earn as much as other places, but just because they are non-profits doesn't mean they don't have money or an income.
Well, it's kinda what society forces us to do. There's not exactly much of an alternative to interacting with companies for most things.
Whether it's you livelihood, you home, your car, insurance, whatever
People are free to continue using proprietary software, but you can't then continue to complain when they inevitably do another shitty thing in the name of profit.
No wonder people are promoting FOSS, what else do you want to happen? I really don't get why people are so hostile to FOSS, it's literally for your own long-term benefit. How many more projects have to enshittify before people get it?
