No not tired of Trump or Biden but the whole government. The incompetence overall. Please don’t harp on one of the presidents all day. BOTH SUCK. In fact if you look real hard you’ll realize all of them sucked

Government might have a stranglehold on physical infrastructure and gate keep our human needs like food and shelter, but in their hubris and obsession with wealth extraction they forgot that all of us have knowledge, skills and capacity that they do not. This is the spirit that worker and union movements were based on in the late 20th century and I believe we are headed for something similar in tech and perhaps other expertise led jobs like law, medicine and science.
Corporations are getting increasingly incompetent, it’s easy to foresee down the line large corporations having to broker deals with the equivalent of guilds and to apply for licensing in order to use technology, i.e. if you are a sociopath you don’t get to use social media automation technology. Kinda like the principle that people on drugs aren’t allowed to operate heavy machinery. Perhaps the open source community will even ban large tech from using open source unless certain conditions are met, beyond just “don’t slam our servers” but into making sure there’s a match on values and legal compliances.
Happy to hear your thoughts on the matter. I’ve been mulling how to fight back for a while and this is what I’ve come up with. I highly doubt it will “get done” in my lifetime, but I also believe any real meaningful change does take an eternity and I’m happy to be one of the many metaphorical birds striking the diamond mountain of capitalism.
I don’t believe open source creators will stop big tech from using them because they are open source and it’s antithetical to its creation.
I certainly don’t expect them to ban sociopaths lol. They would have to know they are sociopaths and give them psychological evaluations. Which they don’t do on even the general public.
My take is that instead of making rules for these evil corporations and nefarious governments. They must be purged of all evil and nefarious intention. People must stop worshiping the “Devil” and tolerating “Devil worshipers”
The religion doesn’t matter per say, it’s just the idea that corruption of human nature and abuse of power is malevolent
Use of knowledge and wisdom for assistance and improving society is benevolent.
There is already a precedence for this - Russians have been blocked by the open source community from contributing to multiple projects including the Linux kernel, Github and numerous smaller projects that actively also campaign for Ukraine.
Open source isn’t just about giving code away so everyone can use it no matter what, it’s a set of values and principles. If open source is used for genocide, generating CSAM, surveillance tech, etc… Then limits need to be enforced by the creators.
How will you… achieve this exactly? Surely the better path to the future is to achieve consensus through a mutually agreed set of rules. You can’t change what people really are inside, and if you try to you’re just gonna create bigger problems. My 2c.
