    No, I don’t mean anything like “climate change”, I mean the looming promise of full-blown Orwellian world, that is most beneficial for people in power when it’s not visible or felt, but they can’t prevent it. So over time more and more people will realize that we are already there.

      It’s the same. World on fire, surveillance economy… both are real world problems that are already noticeable and people generally will admit are bad, but are too detached from individual action to trigger spontaneous mass choices.

      The difference is for climate action you probably need regulation, but while regulation will limit what corporations can’t do, it won’t (arguably shouldn’t) enforce a FOSS-driven ecosystem.
