Problem solved.

Even FOSDEM reviewers were against it

@slothrop Same 😋

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

@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.

Why is this such a problem?

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?

Upgrading the family NAS from an ancient Intel Atom to a modern N100 is in progress.

Past me already installed the system on the SSD, and I totally forgot about that. Saved me a bit of time. Good job past me!

My dad says he already notices the difference on the first tries when accessing his data via smb/samba. It is a huge leap forward.

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 🫡

@slothrop just finished reading it for the first time and I'm also flushed. Very good read.

This is a text, that one likely needs to read three times to get a hold on. It's dense yet spot on.

@jwildeboer der edit 😂😂🤣

@slothrop Ein Schelm, wer einen Rubber Ducky dabei hat, welcher das Hintergrundbild zu einem Huhn verändert.

Now is the time, when the EU should realize that years of talk about "sovereignty" and no action means total dependence on US providers. Our most basic information and data management needs are almost entirely under US control.

The neural system of a whole continent has been almost fully outsourced, and in the coming years we're going to pay handsomely for this mistake.

Being cheap is expensive.

@MissInformation Being cannon fodder in a senseless holy war because an almighty someone sends you there? Welcome to the Imperial Army where your life doesn't matter and we're gonna do whatever we want with your meaningless life.

That dude got it.

Looks like the Netherlands is (finally?) forming a government. The coalition looks very brittle and I do wonder how long this is going to last.
I wouldn't dare to bet.
