open source software projects and standards organizations need more people willing to say "no. fuck you" to corporate entities, sponsors, and other bad actors putting on a polite face.

i think the reason linux works so well is precisely because the maintainers will happily tell a corporation off and reject huge amounts of work out of hand, if they aren't actually making things better. much as they may try, you cannot buy your way into making linux do something for you. you can buy insurance that it will continue to exist, and you can buy labor to submit improvements that benefit you, but your money will not afford you any lenience, and it will not direct attention to your own goals

i wish i could see more of the same elsewhere
