Tell Mozilla: it's time to ditch Google

How much did Mozilla spend on this conference? They sell badges to attendees, who must also pay for their own accommodations and airfare. Were there other sponsors?

I'm not sure this is the smoking gun you think it is.

It's unfortunately vogue to mention DEI-efforts to cast bad light on something.

And to do so in bad faith, no less - the event seems to have had 2-3 sessions related to feminism (out of a couple dozen), but no connection beyond that.

"Bad faith" just means "I disagree" huh? That "2-3" should be zero. Activist woke BS needs to be excised from Mozilla. It all brings nothing but conflict, waste, and censorship. Tech companies need to focus on tech. Go peddle your cancer somewhere else.

Lord, tech companies should sponsor conferences about how people shouldn't be giant fucking snowflakes... They could talk about it on HN, it seems there's a lot of overlap between HN users and the appropriate demographic for said conference.

Thankfully it is becoming more popular to call out racism and sexism like "DEI".
