Folks, you know those things you share with me privately about the shit that’s going on in the industry and in the orgs that are supposed to be fighting for our rights… can you please start sharing them publicly too? I appreciate the info but we need more than me speaking out.

Fuck Mitch Mcconnell

Fuck Lindsay Graham

Fuck Rand Paul

Fuck every single one of these spineless bastards who are destroying what little democracy that is left in my country.

They are fucking cowards for not standing up for what is right and I am so fucking angry.

Fuck this.

Im fucking angry and you should be too and we need to do something about this.

Packed all the stuff.
Going #OFFDEM Brussels soon.

From the "Why":
“a growing discontent with the evolution of #FOSDEM: cultivating social grouping, accepting questionable sponsors that fail to address our concerns against surveillance capitalism.”

In the past, I’ve called out @fosdem for having Google as a sponsor: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/100974215641531155

So this year, they added Facebook also: https://fosdem.org/2020/about/sponsors/

FOSDEM is about open source, not freedom.

Why is this a problem? Read this: https://ar.al/2019/01/11/i-was-wrong-about-google-and-facebook-theres-nothing-wrong-with-them-so-say-we-all/
