   @dada @loic @indie Yes. And, to be honest, it infuriated me. It felt not much different to a Microsoft conference in Vegas (which I’ve also been to) in its focus on business and almost total lack of interest in the ethics/freedom of what we do (it was OSSDEM, the F was an afterthought). The only redeeming aspect of the trip was getting to talk to the @Purism and @gnome folks and to @how and his crew. But the next time I need to do that, I can do it not under a Google banner.

     I totally understand your position. I also told myself that this involvement with the Decentralized devroom was my last attempt at bringing back politics to free software. I already spent a lot of energy doing it, and if there's no way to make technicians realize the situation and understand their power and responsibility, then so be it, I have other things to do in my life than fighting lost battles.
