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.

There is finally boss music. It was hard to find a good track because I don't want anything too epic as I might use that for a better game.
