Making software developers’ livelihoods depend on who can give them enough money is stupid. It’ll inevitably lead to situations like this where shitty products get made by virtue of them being sponsored by rich bastards.
Just give them a universal basic income and let everything be open source volunteer stuff.
It is called economic model and it is a societal contract. For better or worse, capitalism democratised consumption and largely improved the lifelihood of many.
I’m all for UBI, but it is too idealistic to have this without a world-disrupting event like a Great War or similar.
Or the arrival or AI? A global pandemic which prevented working together?
GDPs where the median and average are constantly drifting apart? The creation of a cabal of billionaires who manipulate the masses and get caught. The rise of trillion dolllar companies, where it is difficult to function in society without using their products or services.
The world events have happened.
Edit: so many typos.

That’s how every job in the world works.
Fine, let’s work toward that. Until then, that’s not how things work.

Obviously those things weren’t disruptive enough to usher in the changes you’re hoping for, since they didn’t happen.
I guess we’ll have to wait until even more people are food insecure to see what happens.
Jesus! Have we been haooened already!
