It just really sucks that so many free software tools from the kernel and compilers up are rapidly reconfiguring themselves in service to slop generators.

I am so grateful for the effort people are putting to create human-centred forks.

But one thing I do think about a lot is the mental toll of constantly chasing a compromised version of someone else's vision v.s. pursuing new ideas.

The whole thing just feels like ddos on the attention of people who should be working on bigger things.
