Yeah, I agree with you. It's hard to avoid feeling like the free software movement has failed pretty comprehensively at its stated goals. For me, as a computer nerd, it's always been hard to understand why normal people aren't fascinated by computers like I am, but the plain fact is they're not. Something like two billion people think facebook is the internet, eh? Everyone has a radio-connected supercomputer in their pockets but it's a locked-down mall and video game arcade, and that seems to be all most people want. I try not to think about it too much. Maybe this is the shape of human destiny? To be cells in some vast AI body?
