After reading this post about Rust having a “supply chain problem” and @[email protected]’s response linking to the blog post “I’m not a supplier”, I couldn’t help but think of this talk (opensource conference hosting exclusively on youtube, make that make sense).

    It makes perfect sense, since it’s open source and not free/libre we are talking about. Open source doesn’t care about the philosophy or political movement behind free software. It’s an opportunistic appeal to corporations, advertising “open source” as just a more efficient development model

      Makes sense indeed.

      I find it hilarious (and sad) when opensource conferences pay for closed source conferencing software. Then make it available only on youtube or on vimeo behind a paywall. Or only make the demos available on youtube but require you to be physically present otherwise you miss it.
