Apparently nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m was invited to give a talk at FOSDEM and lots of people got upset about it. I have no idea if the talk will happen, but I do wonder if these guys protesting understand that the vast majority of open source projects are sponsored and funded by corporations. To not include and understand the motivations of those companies and how they use and support open source feels like willful ignorance.

Being poor also is a problem, being a billionaire is also a problem, there is no win is satisfying people =)
But when it comes to protest, the protestors should at least get the manifesto facts right lah. That was so badly written and made no sense.
Jack is like a kid in a candy store when it comes to open source. It's their loss.
