We have been doing bananas all wrong.

#SilentSunday

Good early morning Fediverse! ☕🥐

@SuperDicq An unofficial one @ns_online where it is intentionally difficult to tell, if it's unofficially them or absolutely not them 😉

Nice: NS.nl stops their X account on 01.06.2025. https://nieuws.ns.nl/ns-stopt-met-x/

I'm not saying I need this, but I need this.

@GossiTheDog It's not a monetary investment, it's a investment in happiness and as such never dumb.

Ok, almost never, but don't quote me there.

Problem solved.

Even FOSDEM reviewers were against it

@slothrop Same 😋

@slothrop 😂 😂 😂
I'm having a sandwich in my hand right now as well!

PSA: Forgejo 10 will be the last release that allows painless migration away from gitea.

@feld show me jack's commit, PR, files issues or bugs. Show me where he plays a role as open source advocate, where he's talking about open source and not using it as a sale sticker. Show me his blog or other posts where he does meaningful contributions to the community, either as developer or as advocate.

Being an investor doesn't qualify to speak at a developer's conference. He's a nobody in the open source space.

I realize money plays a role. A big role. But don't make the mistake of taking tech bro's as our friends.

The relationship is utilitarian at best. Tech bro's don't "invest" in open source because they believe in its ideals, they do it because it gives them the means to do whatever they like. And this is seldom something good or desirable.

Those are the same people that do one mass layoff after the next one whenever it suits them.

They are not our friends. Jack Dorsey should not be welcome.

In the age of misinformation and "bought public perception" giving him this stage is both morally and politically wrong and damaging to the philosophy of open source.

End of thread.

Jack f*ing Dorsey having the keynote at FOSDEM is a disgrace. He has made no meaningful contributions, is a no-one in this space and wants to talk about Open Source culture? Are you kidding me?!??

Why are we allowing this to happen? He should not be welcome as a speaker, let alone holding the keynote.
