@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.
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.
Because like all tech billionaires he has an agenda which is incompatible with the ideals of open source. Giving him a platform where be can speak about his interest, despite not having contributed to the community is acting against the interest of the open source community as a whole.
You wouldn't invite a fossil fuel lobbyist to a renewable energy panel either, would you?
This was the old mainboard/SoC. An Intel Atom D525 at 1.8 GHz. This was the first server I ever purchased for myself and we kept it as a family NAS for almost 15 years. It was slow, but it did the job.
15 years of service. Thank you little one, you did good ๐ซก
