Perhaps you should pay attention to the concept of free software [0], which gives the control to the users instead of the big tech. No surprise that the big tech never mentions it and uses "open source" [1] instead. Even the latter is used as rarely as possible, e.g., not in javascript [2]. Personally, I am relying more and more on free software and feel much better. Very excited about my Libem 5 phone running an FSF-endorsed OS [3].
