btw if you're planning on protesting a talk, the easiest way is to pull the fire alarm

@Foxboron your position was clear, and that’s the source of disagreement. Protest that doesn’t meaningfully disrupt is at most a nuisance and easily worked around, and lecturing people about why protest shouldn’t be disruptive to other people who didn’t care enough to push back is not the most useful thing to do (and pretty sure why you got blocked)

Tis all, I will not seek to change your mind further.

@maxine

This presumes FOSDEM can stop the protest.

I don't think that is true.

@Foxboron @miah the organizers didn't.

@kevingranade @Foxboron I think the organizers saw $$$ and didn't think about the consequences, which is weird for people who work in FOSS.

@miah @kevingranade

FOSDEM does not sell talk slots to sponsors. They have been consistent about this for over 20 years.

This talk was most likely pushed through by someone from the content team.
