  • I worked on open source software for over a decade (KDE). When we started having in person conferences, that's the first time money changed hands. And even then, the conference attendance was free. Viewed through this lens of experience, this feels like an attempt to earn money from the fediverse for running video chats, rather than a grassroots effort.

  • What music do you like to listen to when studying / working?

  • Chillout ambient. Basically, the Mass Effect 1 soundtrack affected my whole musical library. I ask myself -- would this music sound cool in a bar in Mass Effect? If the answer is yes, it's probably on theme.

    Carbon Based Lifeforms - Hydroponic Gardens

    Solar Fields - Leaving Home

    2814 - Rain Temple

    Cell - Hanging Masses

    etc.

  • You're arguing about word choices and message. It's about as useful as "thoughts and prayers". Go lobby politicians for UBI, or volunteer for Habitat for Humanity or whatever your local equivalent is. Do something real. Have a nice day.
