foss, funding, politics-adjacent
So I think I've finally worked out one of the things that annoys me about the FOSS "funding discourse": it's always about how to find money to support current development practices, and which (often severe) tradeoffs to make to that end.
It's never about how FOSS development can be made structurally more accessible such that you don't need huge swathes of time and therefore money for it (that many people cannot afford) to begin with.
And no, I don't mean "building frameworks". I mean much more fundamental changes to the overall process and the community.

Oh, and to make the implicit explicit here: this is primarily the responsibility of privileged folks to actually make happen. If you have a well-paid tech job, that means you.
