Good Lord. That wishlist.

If only...

Maybe one day these things will be standard. We have to convince the mainstream these are goals worth pursuing... As long as most people accept how shit the status quo is, it won't improve.

The game is rigged, though. Mainstream is not in a position to say anything against the kind of crap modern technology is full of - and those who speak up anyway get labeled as "whiny".

FWIW, I also share the GP's wishlist 100%. But we're a niche in our own industry these days. I'm not having hopes the market will deliver - on the contrary, all these points are things for unscrupulous vendors to control to extract more profit.

So one of the things that bugs the crap out of me is hearing programmers complain about features or bugs in open source software while doing nothing.

Like, I know it's a lot of work to jump into a codebase and make a change and that some projects are a pain to work with, etc etc, but still. This is what OSS is supposed to fix, and we're exactly the demographic who is supposed to be able to contribute.

Obviously, the above is even a bigger lift, but at the same time -- if a community of online hackers, many skilled, many experienced, many damn near independently wealthy from decades at FAAMGs, can't build an Internet 3.0 to fix the Internet 2.0 we all got rich building on top of Internet 1.0, who is supposed to?

Many of these things already are standard for EU data subjects.
