One of the reasons why I'm enthusiastic about @devanshmehta deep funding work is that I think it's a big tragedy we've pushed so much into cloud-based software and not done enough local-first, including in gaming, and it's clear that "it's easy to pirate local-first but you can't pirate the cloud" is a major reason why. If we had back in 2000 figured out some regime where sales tax on electronic devices gets routed into automated funding for open source software in proportion to how much people benefit and use it, I wonder if that whole tragedy could have been avoided.
