This #FOSSY has further solidified my belief that we invest far too much time into writing software and licenses. We need to connect the four freedoms to material issues in people's lives. People hate tech right now. Absolutely despise it. AI data centers and Flock cameras are the biggest targets but there are so many. On top of it, the economic system makes production of creative works nearly impossible. Unless we view those types of fights as core FOSS community issues, we're going to be stuck where we are. The problem isn't (just) that you don't have the four freedoms, it's that the system guarantees oppression and misery. The lack of software freedom is a symptom of the problem, not THE problem. EDIT: also, how is age-gating not a red alarm fire in our community?!

Final night for #Fedicon (but not #FOSSY) Speakers and panelists are meeting for one final meal at Big Way Hotpot. Nobody here (except @julian) has yet had hotpot.

How to know you’re at a real FOSS event? You over hear this exchange: “I wanted to see how I could use Linux to automatically have a video play when you booted so I could Rick-roll my friends” “I mean, using Linux is taking the easy way out, did you consider writing an EFI app?” #fossy

Early Saturday morning. The sun is up, the birds are screaming. Yes, screaming. Seriously, I had a dream about sharing French toast with Jerry Garcia and he was screaming loudly in a panic—enough to wake me up, and I realized it was a sea gull above my window wailing and screaming its heart out. To hell with that bird. And I had to SCRAPE MYSELF OUT OF BED like something they found stuck to the floor of a slaughterhouse. Back to FOSSY. Back to #Fedicon. My carcass wanted sleep. My brain wanted darkness. But somewhere out there a bunch of beautiful internet freaks were already gathering, so I poured myself into some clothes and joined the living. And so far at FOSSY? Great. I’ve met people from all over the world. Different countries. Different accents. Different projects. People building things, breaking things, rebuilding things, and arguing passionately about extremely specific pieces of technology that 99.999% of humanity will never know exist. In other words, my people. Some are perfectly respectable, some suspicious, some absolute freaks. Freaks like me. The good kind. The kind who get obsessed with some strange little corner of the universe and start digging until their fingernails come off. So here I am, early Saturday morning, running on fumes and whatever electrical impulses are still jumping between the wet wires in my skull. Fedicon at #FOSSY. The freaks have assembled. And somehow I made it out of the crypt in time to join them.
