I never visit Fosdem because I like their ethics or anything like that.
My main reason for visiting Fosdem for me is just to meet people and socialize. Most of my fedi timeline is going there so I just wanna chill and maybe watch some interesting talk here and there.
Personally I would love to have an actual free software conference similar to LibrePlanet in Europe.
Yeah, instead of protesting at Fosdem (which is never going to be good, due to being organized by open source), I think our time would be much better spent much better organizing an actual free software conference.
The presence of ethically questionable companies worth millions or even billions of euros like Google, Red Hat, Oracle, Mozilla, Element, Canonical and many many more was always there at FOSDEM.
If you have a problem with Jack Dorsey's new Block company you should ask yourself the question, why is this any different?
To me this seems just like another drop in the bucket.
Remember that FOSDEM is not a free software convention, it has "open source" in the name. The organizers do not care about software freedom. It has always been like this.
@wowaname @beardalaxy @bonkmaykr How do you manage to avoid Sui's freetarded screeching?
@coolboymew I feel like just numbering the systems destroys the charm of getting a new console. It makes the successor feel more like a mere upgrade. I never liked how the PlayStation and a lesser extent, the Xbox did it. A completely new name always brought a new vibe which made it feel more exciting to see what is next. I feel like that's missing in modern consoles.
>Rumours are that they reached a bunch of developers exactly for that and are gonna be moneyhatting some ports and remakes and such. I expect them to support them for 6 more months to a year-ish after Switch 2's release
I think indies can keep it alive for a few more years. I feel like only AAA games are going to take full advantage of the Switch 2's hardware for the time being.
@mint I think Suiseiseki is a hachi alt. He is just trolling people with free software zealotry on that account instead of trans rights activism.
@Mr_NutterButter They're too extremely niche for me to care either way.
@coolboymew I wish they came with a more original name instead of "Switch 2", but anything is better than "Wii U".
I just hope Nintendo still keeps the original Switch alive for a few more years. Though, it looks like they will given the success of the original Switch.
@Mr_NutterButter It's just the New Hampshire Libertarian Party. Every other "Libertarian" Party is still more (culturally/socially) left or center.
