Basically, what we’re saying to people today is:
You’re interested in tech and you want a nice home (or just any home) and stability? Go work at Google, Facebook, or some other surveillance capitalist.
What’s that? You want to work on free and open source? Sure, go work at IBM or Oracle… Oh… you don’t mean enterprise software? Tech to protect human rights/democracy? Not for profit hippie-dippie crap for the common good?
Oh, then suffer.
I mean, is it any surprise things are as they are?
@aral Eeyupp...
Either one has to sell their soul to some corporation or suffer...
No matter if it's #GigWork [#UberEats] , #GrindWork [Any fast food job] or whatever...
@aral at this point basically all my projects are stalling due to lack of funding...
And since #NUCbook and other projects go against #SurveillanceCapitalism, #PlannedObsolescence and/or other #Rentseeking they won't get funded.

@aral @snazzyq To my defense, when #Intel announced that they want to cancel the #NUC production I kindly asked them if they want to FLOSS the #UCFF form factor details further and offered to rename the project if they found the name infringing...
So far, my ticket [Case #:05916086] has yet to be replied to by Intel at all...
But TBH, IDK if #modbook is still #trademark'd anywhere and I've not seen any reason to search for that term given the fact that I was aware of the #modbook and thus wanted to avoid people from mistaking it for something else...
Tho nothing would prevent you from going the same route that #SnazzyLabs did and shove a #MacMini PCB inside...
