    Good. If you still work for Meta, you’re either a garbage prson, a bootlicker or a techbro.

    Get stepped on, and not in a kinky way.

      There are also people staying to try to unionize or sabotage the company. Don’t bundle them with the scabs. Quitting won’t change much within meta.

    So much talent locked up in big tech. I wish they would all unionize and also leave and launch open source startups.

      Open source still doesn’t have a good funding model.

      open source startups are still part of the same ecosystem that fuels big tech. Big tech, being more powerful, can capture commons very easily and that’s true for the vast majority of open-source code. The very concept of open-source was conceived by a person with the same ideological and cultural background of the tech oligarchs now in power.

        That’s just doomerism.

          I’m far from being a doomer. I just don’t believe technology will save us. There are better ways.

          that was really fucked up and I don’t know how I feel about playing a game about it but I’ll probably end up doing it once of these days. truly “art” and not just dumb entertainment
