So they got what they wanted. A store is inclusive because everyone can enter it. A conference is inclusive only if you drag every type of person in by force, faking it if it didn’t work out. “Otherwise it’s not inclusive and I’m not participating”. Isn’t that pure nonsense.

>> IP logs from a forum for programmers obtained by 404 Media

I am more interested in what forums is turning over their IP logs to the media, what the privacy policy was for that forum, and if other members of that forum know this is happening

I'm having trouble parsing this comment. Who got what they wanted?

The craziest thing about this is that apparently refusing to participate in a conference that faked female speakers is now "woke".

That was not my take at all... I took that the conference faked being woke (by being inclusive) in order to grab the attention of better male speakers. Which is a pretty good joke because it works at some many levels.
