The spirit of this lives on with FOSS. Wonderful, hardworking teams building for the public good, supported by a growing, caring community.

Every other day I find a suitable FOSS replacement for a Big Tech product and donate where I can. I invite others to do so too.

I miss the feeling of "tech exists to make people's life better" instead of "tech exists so we can extract maximum value out of everyone"

There are awesome people doing awesome stuff that further our species and then they're are your Metas, Xitters, Microsoft's, modern Google etc.
