That's luck.
What are poor people doing that would love to spend more time doing FOSS, but can't because their parents don't have the money and they need to do shitty jobs they don't want to do?
Is the lack of skill preventing them? Technically yes, because they don't have the time to build up those skills, but actually it's just bad luck.

@karolherbst@chaos.social @pac85@social.treehouse.systems Sure, but one could also argue that having too much money is reducing your chances of making a career in FOSS 😅 Case in point, there would be no Linux if Linus could have afforded a Minix license.
