I just want a organization that I can trust and share about to have maximum benefit to society for open source.

Now there are 2 ideas that I have: One, to raise more awareness about open source and how it has some gems. The best low hanging fruits of privacy for the world might be f-droid, signal (doesn't require any specific hardware as long as they have android) and grapheneos(depends if they have a pixel)

But that being said, I thought that if I share about open source and how it can be good but it requires your funding to fix the chicken and egg problem. People would feel convinced to donate.

I might say them to donate to nlnet. But I don't think many people would.

I don't think open source needs an evanglist or somebody telling somebody else to do something. I am deeply pessimistic about the state of open source in the sense that it's out of my control and my trust of human society is eroding day by day.

Literally nobody I talk to makes me feel like something can be done about this / gives hope and I doubt it so much now. I was so much optimistic about its future but I am genuinely pessimistic now and the only reason I try to be hopeful is that I don't want hopelessness. I don't want to sit down and watch but fucking hell, the world sure damn well wants me to.

The only hope I got was maybe through raylib creator's github post about history of raylib which inspired me and it seems like the best way for open source could be to become a teacher but I have conflicted opinions about it because I like building things that are niche solutions to niche problems I have. That's how I started loving open source more. Some solution which I can always use. which I have starred with me. Not sure if I should even be a teacher or something else or if how that fixing my own problems attitude goes towards teaching. I don't fucking know and I am tired of pretending that I know. idk wtf is wrong with the world that good things can happen but they won't. We are in a fucked up world in which mediocrity is benefited and like I have convinced myself that maybe this is the equilibra of altruism/evilness in the world maybe directly governed by biology/physics/the laws of the universe. But I can't but see how things got better in the past yet it seems that people have just accepted that things can't change now. How were people in the past doing so many massive changes like french revolution. I was asked by my teacher 3 years or more ago to write about it and I made things on the spot because I read one book (everything is fucked a book about hope) and uh I just somehow translated that people wanted hope and french revolution provided it. I always thought that if we can show the world something which can be better which just requires all of us to put in a little effort, then things would get better since we would all logically agree that this is the better thing, just like how I can show them hope and then we can have another thing like french revolution (I mean something's that good like democracy), but now I am wondering if that's how the things work. Maybe I was naive but I need to do more research on french revolution's hope idea, idk.
