@deshipu @amsomniac tangent: i believe part of the reason software creates a "winner takes all" market is due to elimination of people's basic ownership rights. if people had the ability to study, modify, and build upon their software the way they can with any physical good, there would be more collaboration, market options, small shops serving niche interests.

free software and copyleft helps address this imbalance, and universal income would let more people write free software.

If guaranteed minimum income and universal healthcare were a thing, I think so many of my programmer colleagues would immediately take low-income sabbaticals to write high-quality good-ui users-first free and open source software that it would inspire tedious "how was it possible?!?" medium dot com thinkpieces for years and years

Shit that I never saw until I moved to California:
1. Dude getting out of his car at a stop light on a 6-lane highway to lecture me about my car being too close to his
2. Dude screaming at minimum-wage earning grocery clerk for some perceived slight
3. Mall-food manager dude heroically stepping in to berate teenage girl employee for her picking up noodles with tongs technique and show her how it's done
4. Dude screaming at minimum-wage earning food service workers for some perceived slight
