We are loosing personal computing, because most communities in FOSS and related movements are too much into individualism. Comments in this thread are clearly showing that. Human emancipation always required mass political movement, and such movement requires some sense of common purpose and solidarity - to sacrifice some of our individuality. If they lost that, they lost their cause. Society cannot be changed without changes in policy, and changes in policy require political power to enact them. You do not gain this kind of power through constant forking, dramas, and even gazillion lines of code using AGPL license.

Nobody fears a toothless dog.



I'm completely lost on what your point is. What are you saying people should do, and to accomplish what?
