Eh, a lot of "FOSS" contributions are happily vacuumed up into propriety net-negative products without much recompense for their maintainers.
weird example, given that the fact that we live in a universe where nearly all technology infrastructure is dependent on an operating system developed as FOSS is not a gift that fell out of the sky.
mass linux tinkering and experimentation very materially *has* helped democratize technology.

Knowing syntax is the easy part too. Unless you like APL.
This is the nut of it
I never built my identity around programming ability and so this era has been weirdly pain free
I always resented the code even as I was paid to write it! It’s been impossible to relate to everyone who did a whole sandcastle around Syntax Knowing
there’s so much more to do

It's crazy how seamlessly that dystopiabreaker account moved from crypto will solve everything to AI will solve everything. I wonder if there's a revenge of the autists thing going on too; tech will give the normies their comeuppance.

"I'm going to tax the everloving shit out of the rich people who made your life miserable and put every masked thug who broke the law or traitor who wrecked the government for their own profit in prison" I admit is too long for a sign, but at the very least this should be the spirit of the thing.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.

America should have seven executives. Legalize political parties. One supreme court justice per district. Expand Congress and get rid of the Senate. Mandatory STAR voting. The state should own all utility transmission infrastructure (but not necessarily generation).
