Stopping to depend on companies' profit schemas, for example. We have to work at least 8h/day to afford subscriptions to have access to things we don't even own. Our devices are designed to be fragile, to force us to buy them periodically. That's not freedom, that's a jail (and not a golden one)

Honestly, I don't want "small pockets of freedom". We have to stop accepting everything and think it's okay because we have our small pockets of freedom. People deserve free lives.
This does not imply it is workers' owned or that it does not have ridiculously high payed managers.
I think the post is about this too, honestly. What the post is saying is that "open source is not enough, we need governance" and I really do not agree. What I am saying is that governance and small pockets of freedom will not solve our problems, just give us the illusion that we are good.
What I am saying is that we don't need small pockets of freedom, but we need to live in total freedom, and technology and software are a big part of that. This society model is destroying everything, from our wellness to the ecosystem, and "small pockets of freedom" won't solve anything.
