Also feeling severe tech fatigue. Now I even feel disgusted by Linux or free software in general. Technology become some hyper-speculative giddy playground that real lives are getting ruined by that has no way of paying back the huge debts or be relied on with any meaningful assurance.

There are essential applications for computers but they don't need such a huge industry that the economy and the path out of poverty depends on. If anything the next iteration of these applications needs to come from public funding where software is developed to formal specification like with ATS2 virtual machines running on top of seL4. All this should be under Donald Knute's literal programming paradigm where software engineers must first provide comprehensive documentation explaining the code they are writing and algorithm they are using. This documentation should be legally available the public emerging from regulations and guidelines decided through whole process democracy.
