Use free open source software (FOSS) every opportunity you can, and contribute to making it better and more widely used. There's very little proprietary software or infrastructure that doesn't have an open source equivalent (if you're willing to forego some minor conveniences). I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of the tech industry is just wasteful repetition of effort, creating the same proprietary software solutions over and over again.

If FOSS became more popular and usable, Big Tech would be toast.

No. Too many problems, lack of control, inability to prove right to use (patent, copyright, etc.) The companies contracting for systems need these guarantees before accepting any systems using FOSS.

Didn't Gates make her billions by cornering that market? Not giving her credit for the programming side...instead just malicious enough to buy the rights and put a price tag on it.
