No billionaires at FOSDEM

Read Original

The article criticizes FOSDEM for platforming billionaire Jack Dorsey as a keynote speaker, citing his role in Twitter's sale to Elon Musk which burdened the FOSS community. It argues his company's sponsorship led to the platform, details harmful actions like layoffs and environmentally damaging Bitcoin mining, and states billionaires should earn respect through substantial donations to FOSS, not promotional talks.
