Fedora Week of Diversity (FWD) 2024 Attracting 0.01% of the IBM Staff "Was a Success"
Days ago:
Similar numbers.
The supposed demand for or interest in such events is grossly overrated. Seems more like a fringe than a niche.
They're interested in saying they support "diversity", but not in actually doing it. They expect volunteers (unpaid slaves) to do the PR for them... while IBM is pursing Pentagon contracts to bomb "brown people". Just like the Linux Foundation saying it supports African-Americans but not hiring any.
Things like these attract cynicism, especially when weaponised for community-shaming (by people with 6- or 7-figure salaries).
