I mean, they do make a good point. I doubt you're going to find many biological women who gush about how great Wayland is.

Considering it's wayland you'd have to exclude men too

i am certain drew's nodebb posts are a mirror of his last fosstodon posts before they were deleted. i know his nodebb profile has fosstodon.org in it but also archive.org displays his fosstodon being active on november 22 2024 but deleted november 25 2024. the november 22 capture does not load his posts in (next newest capture after this is september 26 and does load posts in) so i suppose there is no way to confirm. nodebb post time range consistent with fosstodon posting and account deletion.

no posts listed unlike the next newest previous capture (september 26.) error when attempting to scroll down.

november 25.

I use grapheneos and hyprland. One thing I've noticed that's being brought up in this thread is that this dude has a very distinct posting style and is one of those people that you don't need to see a name to make an extremely educated guess that the post has been made by him. He is a total sperg and piece of shit.

Apparently bahleeted from Hacker News: Drew is so outraged by his precious free and open source community giving a voice and a venue to billionaire fascists (and really, is there any other kind?) that he plans on protesting Jack Dorsey with a "sit-in" at FOSDEM, explicitly stating that his goal is to "peacefully prevent the talk from proceeding as scheduled":

Spoiler: Full text

No billionares at FOSDEMJanuary 16, 2025 on Drew DeVault's blog​

Jack Dorsey, former CEO of Twitter, ousted board member of BlueSky, and grifter extraordinaire to the tune of a $5.6B net worth, is giving a keynote at FOSDEM.

The FOSDEM keynote stage is one of the biggest platforms in the free software community. Janson is the biggest venue in the event – its huge auditorium can accommodate over 1,500 of FOSDEM’s 8,000 odd attendees, and it is live streamed to a worldwide audience as the face of one of the free and open source software community’s biggest events of the year. We’ve platformed Red Hat, the NLNet Foundation, NASA, numerous illustrious community leaders, and many smaller projects that embody our values and spirit at this location to talk about their work or important challenges our community faces.

Some of these challenges, as a matter of fact, are Jack Dorsey’s fault. In 2023 this stage hosted Hachyderm’s Kris Nóva to discuss an exodus of Twitter refugees to the fediverse. After Dorsey sold Twitter to Elon Musk, selling the platform out to the far right for a crisp billion-with-a-“B” dollar payout, the FOSS community shouldered the burden – both with our labor and our wallets – of a massive exodus onto our volunteer-operated servers, especially from victims fleeing the hate speech and harassment left in the wake of the sale. Two years later one of the principal architects of, and beneficiaries of, that disaster will step onto the same stage. Even if our community hadn’t been directly harmed by Dorsey’s actions, I don’t think that we owe this honor to someone who took a billion dollars to ruin their project, ostracize their users, and destroy the livelihoods of almost everyone who worked on it.

Dorsey is presumably being platformed in Janson because his blockchain bullshit company is a main sponsor of FOSDEM this year. Dorsey and his colleagues want to get us up to speed on what Block is working on these days. Allow me to give you a preview: in addition to posting $5B in revenue and a 21% increase in YoY profit in 2024, Jack Dorsey laid off 1,000 employees, ordering them not to publicly discuss board member Jay-Z’s contemporary sexual assault allegations on their way out, and announced a new bitcoin mining ASIC in collaboration with Core Scientific, who presumably installed them into their new 100MW Muskogee, OK bitcoin mining installation, proudly served by the Muskogee Generating Station fossil fuel power plant and its 11 million tons of annual CO2 emissions and an estimated 62 excess deaths in the local area due to pollution associated with the power plant. Nice.

In my view, billionaires are not welcome at FOSDEM. If billionaires want to participate in FOSS, I’m going to ask them to refrain from using our platforms to talk about their AI/blockchain/bitcoin/climate-disaster-as-a-service grifty business ventures, and instead buy our respect by, say, donating 250 million dollars to NLNet or the Sovereign Tech Fund. That figure, as a percentage of Dorsey’s wealth, is proportional to the amount of money I donate to FOSS every year, by the way. That kind of money would keep the FOSS community running for decades.

I do not want to platform Jack Dorsey on this stage. To that end, I am organizing a sit-in, in which I and anyone who will join me are going to sit ourselves down on the Janson stage during his allocated time slot and peacefully prevent the talk from proceeding as scheduled. We will be meeting at 11:45 PM outside of Janson, 15 minutes prior to Dorsey’s scheduled time slot. Once the stage is free from the previous speaker, we will sit on the stage until 12:30 PM. Bring a good book. If you want to help organize this sit-in, or just let me know that you intend to participate, please contact me via email; I’ll set up a mailing list if there’s enough interest in organizing things like printing out pamphlets to this effect, or even preparing an alternative talk to “schedule” in his slot.

Would love for someone to sit-in protest next to him and ask for a comment on this quote:

I'm of the opinion that 14 year old girls should be required to have an IUD installed. Ten years of contraception that requires a visit to the doctor to remove prematurely.

Wishful thinking, I know.

I really want to see what happens when he can't just ignore his outing like he can when the questions are on the other side of a network connection.

He was outed as a warlock organizing a witch hunt, and he's still doing this shit. All he has to do is apologize and hang up the moral outrage shit, and people would forget about it. Does it really feel that good?

The pussy would run if someone stood next to him with all his greatest hits on a sign. Drew is a spiteful spastic, and a coward sperg. I can imagine he will just either get removed by security or sit and seethe in a corner when said security move his stupid ass to the side. I hope we get an entertaining video of him getting tased and thrown out.

I'm sure the event organizers and the people who paid hundreds of dollars to travel there will be thrilled at a fat faggot sperg disrupting the event when Dorsey is probably the star attraction other than to people who came to suck Lennart Poettering's autistic dick.

So they aren't even planning on shutting down the entire thing, just delaying it half an hour? Bring a good book since you need to be occupied for 45 minutes!

 

[Dr. Sexbot]

Dorsey and DeVault are both faggots. My $5 bet is they end up scissoring each other on stage.

 

[Nanachi]

Does this guy do anything but whine about people who are more important than he will ever be

Fuck me, I just like sway, I don't care for hyprland and it's bloat

If you're going to complain about bloat, you might as well use dwm or dwl if you're a real minimalist thug.
My bad for being a necromancer; I just can't give up an opportunity to shill Suckless software!

protesting Jack Dorsey with a "sit-in" at FOSDEM

The talk page has been removed (direct link, archive), and so has Dorsey's speaker page on the website (direct link, archive), likewise for Manik Surtani, another speaker and colleague of Dorsey at Block. I cannot find any official statements on this matter. Possibly before the deletion of these pages from the event organizers, Drew posted an update about his "protest" on January 20th (direct link, archive):

In the days since I wrote my earlier blog post, Dorsey’s talk has been removed from the list of keynotes and moved to the main track, where it will occupy the same time slot in the same room but not necessarily be categorized as a “keynote”.
