Tailwind just bought by Shopify. While the consolidation is due to AI pressure on FOSS, each repo owner gets to show their ethical commitment to its principles. What is the end game here?

I've read a YT comment describe it as Linux Reaganomics. I don't think anything is "trickling down" if an existing sponsor already pulled out of funding an existing project to fund an ethnic cleansing supporter like DHH:

It also happens that a lot of youtubers are part of their team.

It's not more money for the Linux community, it's money to hire people that are fine with a racist agenda and pressure projects into dropping their CoCs, DEIs and whatever progressive or not regressive enough stances if they want "support".
