Can confirm.

I have seen this sentiment more and more, which is welcome to me as it’s a drum I have been banging for 15 years.

I have never had so many empathetic conversations than I have recently.

Sounds familiar!

Everybody now is like "Hey, we can take something like Kubernetes which is open source and is backed by a worldwide community, and you know like OpenStack which is open source and is backed by a worldwide community and we can build our own computing platform and deploy services and online communities and stuff on top of that"

And I was like "Wait, you guys are realizing that NOW?!? I've been an activist and part of a movement urging you all to try and be less dependent on US Big Tech and focus more on decentralization for YEARS"

Like you I am really happy things seem to get rolling now, though :)
