@Foxboron Not meant as argument here and as off-topic as it can ever get, but keynotes is the time when I'm mentally still full-on sleep. No matter what the conference is, there is some "larger than life figure" saying that stuff that does not help me to get on with my life.
Let's just say that I stand in the position that ALL keynotes that I've ever heard in my life did suck, and thus maybe that reason I don't give that much weight to Jack's performance ;-)
I don't even care those Linus' and Dirk chats albeit I respect both (Dirk hired me to Intel so I'm even thankful to him for helping me out when Nokia fell down).
That said, there is one thing I remember Linus saying in LinuxCon EU 2014 that has stuck on me: "If you reach for the starts, you might hit yourself to the moon". That's the only cool thing I've ever heard in any keynote or fireside chat alike session :-)

@Aissen I don't campaign against anyone going to FOSDEM, I did not try deny their right protest.
Still, I see this behavior fake as hell, and despite that we can happily live ever after in this planet, and it is not even seeing these people "fake as hell" ;-)
And if one does a public social media campaign with multiple people putting message out that "Jack Dorsey sucks, let's boycott" and I alone say opposite is that like crime against "open source community".
It's politics...

@Foxboron Most of those employees contribute the stuff that their billionaire owners indirectly influence them to contribute :-) So that would make FOSDEM billionaire middle-men scam, right?
Seriously, I don't know the history of Jack so it could be that I'm talking about evil person who attended to Diddy parties or something similarly fishy.
It's not my conference and FOSDEM obviously what they want. And people can think what they want on topic. This is just how I see it.

@Aissen And it is neither obsolete for me personally as I found out about this wrong doing last night when someone was making noise about it. If this was for the right cause, then it can be looked also back and does not need to be swiped under the carpet.
You can disagree with for sure but if people make public something they ought also stand the feedback even if it comes total 24h later of the cancellation :-)
I've never cared about Jack Dorsey, Twitter or any of that, and Bluesky if definitely the next social media account that I delete, if I delete any, but still for the grace of God, this is silly, stupid and hypocritical.

I would get a position that "I don't want to visit OSS conferences because they are dominated by the evil corps AND Microsoft does not actually love Linux even tho they've made a marketing campaign that says so" ;-)
In this context I would get even protesting against Jack Dorsey...

These people should spent some time AWAY from computer TBH.
As far as I'm concerned I never ever want to visit at FOSDEM. I hate when people are not absolutely sound in their moral and ethical values.

That said my "protest" does not really count as I dislike tech conferences anyhow ;-) Just want to emphasize to ultimate stupidity in this whole matter.
Anyone involved with this ridiculous protest: you should be ashamed of yourself.

In a conference where Microsoft, Google and Meta employees are giving talks, Jack Dorsey and Block Inc. is the prime evil :-)
