    So much talent locked up in big tech. I wish they would all unionize and also leave and launch open source startups.

      open source startups are still part of the same ecosystem that fuels big tech. Big tech, being more powerful, can capture commons very easily and that's true for the vast majority of open-source code. The very concept of open-source was conceived by a person with the same ideological and cultural background of the tech oligarchs now in power.

        Open source still doesn't have a good funding model.

          That's just doomerism.

            I'm far from being a doomer. I just don't believe technology will save us. There are better ways.
