Not colonized, but the contradictions of the capitalist system and proprietary software are more apparent than ever. Everything Richard Stallman wrote in his essays did come to pass: corporations would use their highly funded products to ensnare users into predatory contracts and invade so much of our lives. Open Source's "pragmatic business savvy" did nothing to convince capitalist technocrats to fund their own destruction (proprietary software is designed to produce as much profit as possible) and the worst part: It's GNU/Linux not Linux considering how much the Linux foundation is not interested in the desktop linux we want people to use.

There is change like Germany's sovereign tech foundation funding and the Free Desktop (TM) has never been in a better place than it has been before. We'll weather the storm of chatbots because none of us are doing it for the money and silicon valley will just get more desperate.
