Deep question: lately I have felt that I don't belong anymore to anyplace in the sense of a movement. For me it has been always hip-hop and open source, my two crews where I actually see a fit in. However, years are passing and hip-hop has changed losing its roots (probably, because I'm getting older) and open-source stills important but it is not the same as it was in the beginning. This feeling could be because when I was younger I loved hip-hop because its deep roots with the streets and fight with the status quo. It was political, it said truths. Nowadays we don't pass from Drake and Kendrick fighting like two little kids. Don't get me wrong, it has been legendary, but I guess you get my point. The same goes with OSS. In the beginning it was fighting against the status quo of Microsoft and Apple. Nowadays, people embrace non-GPL licenses and we will never see the light of the Mach micro-kernel :D What do you think? Do you feel the same?

Feel this very much. This is an extension of "the more we're connected the lonelier we get" thing and this constant hunt to find our people. Do I fit in here? Maybe, maybe not... kind of thing. We've talked on this often as well, punk, hiphop, skating, art, etc.. and then of course even os, ngo, foundation work... all places where i fit for a time, and then they grew and i grew and the fit wasn't the same, no less important to me of course, but that deep daily drive and connection wasn't the same. I try to frame it as a good thing, growth and becoming more than in a sense, but that still has the bit of looking back at what was at some other time and knowing it won't ever be that again. I don't know where it leads yet, and definitely feeling lost looking around.
