Yes, alas the tech community is too infested of liberals who don’t see how the current make up of corpo backed up “foss” is bad for the overall community, like the commenter above. We’re in an all time low disinterestedness about FOSS policies and politics.
Nope, this os more about the state of things in general. I’m not only blaming the kids, certainly there also insidious work at play here in how nobody is stepping up to keep the boat on the original intended course.
And the old gurus are to blame as well, many either kneel to the Man with fat pockets or stopped to care.
As for what is the right course, do you see the “socialist” up there? That’s also a discussion we have in our circles. “Is mass adoption always good?” Or “Is it better to have 5% of highly engaged people in a community whom the (apolitical) ‘sheep’ will follow and learn to and to build up from there?” You may guess my favorite approach.
You know Foss is where it is right now because of corporation backing. Good or bad Linux the OS would not be where it is without the money. People are not going to donate and people have to provide for themselves and family.
