This essay (ht @… ) offers a lot to chew on: some gems, some flubs, some quibblable provocations, some big insights. This sentence in particular stood out to me (context for it in the screenshot):

Six protestors who demonstrated in front of the New York City offices of #Palantir Technologies
were arrested on Thursday morning.
The demonstrators had gathered to bring attention to the controversial firm and the work it does to power the deportation of immigrants from the US.
The protestors stood in front of the Palantir offices on Manhattan’s Avenue of the Americas,
linking arms…
So sorry to everyone who thought he was actually done.

The public would be better-off with a serious person such as Susan Monarez at the CDC’s helm.
The Senate should confirm her, and fast.

Lives will depend on whether Monarez resists Kennedy’s efforts to …

From CreativeCommons with their "signals" to the OSI with their "open source AI" fiasco it seems that the stewards of the legal structures protecting the digital commons are not on the side of people actually wanting to contribute to the commons for humanity. (Maybe they never were.)
If those organizations don't reorient themselves to align with people's needs maybe we need to fork.
