How is it that Germans are behind every good open source project yet all their commercial software is an absolute joke and their entire country runs on stone age technology?

>Top ai companies are experiencing a brain-drain as we speak
What's the catch? I don't buy the "we're so scared of what we created" bullshit narrative. Why are they actually leaving en mssse? The first thing that comes to mind is that they foresee a giant market crash in the near future which could affect their personal bottom lines, but that The market and government don't seem willing to let go of the AI hype train anytime soon so I'm not entirely sure if that's the case. Even safery-cuck evangelists are leaving:

I am starting to believe…

If the main Xlibre dev barely even knows C, Xorg is dying and even the guys that made it want it dead, and Wayland is not even ready yet, and has a bad design where everyone needs to make their own compositor, then what the fuck are we supposed to use then? Is there a display server that just works and has a future? Yes, we could use Xorg, but it has no improvements and it is becoming obsolete because the niggers at freedesktop refuse to add new stuff, but it will sooner or later be dead. So what now, /g/?

I have come to the conclusion that modern society sucks and it was better 2015 and earlier. Everything today just feels unpleasant, soulless and hostile.
How can I start downscaling my life so I can larp that I am back more than a decade ago? What technology should I replace? What y2k sites can I still go to and use? What brands still retain their old aesthetic?
I'm unironically envious of those autists who exclusively use y2k tech at this point.
