Basically, what we’re saying to people today is:
You’re interested in tech and you want a nice home (or just any home) and stability? Go work at Google, Facebook, or some other surveillance capitalist.
What’s that? You want to work on free and open source? Sure, go work at IBM or Oracle… Oh… you don’t mean enterprise software? Tech to protect human rights/democracy? Not for profit hippie-dippie crap for the common good?
Oh, then suffer.
I mean, is it any surprise things are as they are?

•And just out of curiosity - why is a project that is supposed to be against #SurveillanceCapitalism being hosted on a site that undoubtedly belongs to #SurveillanceCapitalism ? Well, unless we exclude (for convenience? Because not for lack of other options) #microsoft from it....

•And do you feel you are a prisoner of Microsoft and Gooogle that you write like that ? I could understand it if github or youtube were the only tools in their field. But thanks to the people who put a lot of work into their #foss / #decentralised alternatives, we no longer have to be prisoners of Microsoft and Google.
