@garbados First one: I like FOSS kinda like how I like unions. I want to abolish both copyright and the worker/owner dichotomy, and eventually the very notions of “ownership” built into our society. FOSS/unions are cool because they can potentially be tools to dismantle those systems of hierarchy, but ideally we eventually won’t need a GPL or an IWW.
Second one: it’s pretty fucked that, at the present, most jobs that “pay you to write open source” are for terrible companies, building bloated frameworks and infrastructure with the primary goal of extending surveillance capitalism. I’ve seen FOSS Bros dogpile solo indie devs who don’t want to open source their mobile apps and never call out developers at those FAANG companies, and those are some backwards priorities.
