Are you fucking kidding me?
Jack Dorsey is a main track speaker at FOSDEM this year:

I am at a loss of words. I also owe sincere apologies to everyone flagging issues with FOSDEM over the years, whose concerns I often somewhat minimized. I am sorry, you were all right and I was wrong.
FOSDEM is now explicitly platforming AI/blockchain bro fascists. 🤬

Guys, I can't believe it, open source VRChat is here. It's called @overte and it's actually fast. It supports hundreds of people in a single instance and the editor is actually built into the game. You can hang out with your friends and make worlds together. This is INSANE.
The are working on support for Vulkan to make it even faster. Also VRM models so you can have anime girls, of course.
If @pabloyoyoista looks so happy, it's because he's demoing GNOME OS on a laptop, and GNOME on a phone thanks to @postmarketOS
The future looks bright when the future looks free 🥳

I brought my CO2 sensor prototype to #FOSDEM!
In K.3.401 (a tightly-packed dev room with closed windows), I measured a CO2 concentration of over 3000 ppm.
For reference: Outside air is currently ~420 ppm, and a common suggestion is to ventilate rooms to <= 1000 ppm.
