something that absolutely sucks:
Going to electronics and hacker-cons (& giving talks and trainings at them) has historically been one of the main ways I've shown off "indie" projects, spread knowledge, and found good opportunities
I no longer go, because I don't want to support organizations creating mass-spreader events for COVID; and I don't want to give other underrepresented folks the impression that I'm fine with the utter lack of diversity in a lot of these cons speaker lineups.
