Hey @conservancy@mastodon.technology,

Nothing says “freedom” like having a trillion-dollar surveillance capitalist as your main sponsor.

@aral @conservancy
Every project needs to stop being "apolitical" and start being a humane.
We need more compasionate projects and people in the world that think of the results and the roots of their work.
Code and projects in general don't exist in a bubble.

@aral @conservancy I think Conservancy should drop associations with Google. This would have been a controversial opinion a few years ago, but now it's much less so.

There's no doubt that in the world of tech, having almost all organizations and conferences sponsored by Google is having bad effects.

Q.U.I.N.N.
@aral @conservancy i don't think they get anything other than advertising over this though. sfconservancy is mostly a thing where projects can borrow a certified 501(c) for donations.

@aral Who is it that develops the V8 JS engine that your node.js projects run on? Where is it that you host your code? Is that "freedom"?
