How the world “should” respond to the thing we care about is an actively counter-productive thing to get hung up on.

Its much important how they do respond to it, and how we can reach those who don’t connect with it

(And that doesn’t just lecturing people and trying to brow beat them into caring about it, which seems like the default approach for a lot of foss folks 🥲 thats the opposite or reaching people, that’s alienating them)

Whether it’s good or bad is not determined by the fact that it’s corporate money, but how that money impacts development, the devil’s in the details, not just in a company donating lots of money.

Open source in general is very dependent on corporate sponsors. The linux kernel wouldn’t exist had companies not invested in it.

I’m not knowledgeable enough to assess the potential pitfalls here, so I will be cautious but not paranoid, and continue to pay attention to discussions on how FOSS projects are run 🤷‍♂️
