I think there’s a proliferation of well meaning but ultimately _uncultured_ developers (perhaps some are lazy, but I don‘t think that’s the main problem). It’s almost inevitable as software, and internet culture, has itself proliferated. Seeing how businesses make decisions with such abysmal disregard for anything that puts users in control probably only serves to normalize the mentality further. But at the end if the day the problem really is that people don’t speak with their feet. I find it darkly humorous when someone complains about online privacy yet in the next sentence verbs _google_ or is still using their gmail from 15 years ago or hasn't switched to a privacy respecting browser or would never consider a librem device because it has previous gen specs. Software that gives users freedom and respects their privacy is not the default. Good software is hard to find. Too often software is measured solely on how good it looks as an electron app. So how about the next time you hear someone raking the GPL through the mud you help educate them. If you encounter a business leader deciding to cookie everyone because it lets them target the CISO of Oracle with personalized crafted ads, refuse to acquiesce. Not only donate to the EFF but actually participle. When asked what to do about the widening software culture gap at BSides SF, John Perry Barlow reminded everyone that education is the only real solution.
