3rd most active contributor to #nixos drops from the project due to the lack of leadership from the Foundation supposedly backing the project.

Everything is fine, I'm sure the arms dealers will compensate the lost contributions. /s

@delroth “Now ‘everything is political’.”

… Says the smoked gammon working for the defense contractor at the heart of the controversy.

Oh, quelle surprise!

NixOS Discourse · Major Nixpkgs contributor leaving… on mailing lists and irc. Things were less political because the medium is the message. Anyways, while we’re reminiscing about the good old days… Please consider the alternatives! Like forming a secret underground NixOS church and declaring yourself its cryptographic pope. Or snowboarding on logging trails. Be kind to each other, and be civil. This is extremely disappointing. Could somebody enlighten me as to what part of what I wrote above is offensive or abusive or hateful? I hav...

@aral @delroth I have no clue what political afair is happening in NixOS community.

Why can't technology be only about technology without politics?

Especially in #FOSS, which is a public good - everyone benefits from it.

@kravemir @aral because technology needs money and volunteers, and both volunteers and money sources have political opinions.

That's like, FOSS community management 101 prerequisites. Not rocket science.

@delroth @kravemir @aral maybe you could at least avoid calling people pigs due to where they work

@chrism @delroth @kravemir Oh, goodness forbid, no, it’s not because of where they work. It’s because they’re gammon; a privileged white guy with reactionary opinions who bares a striking resemblance in hue and texture to the aforementioned beloved culinary delight.

I think people working for companies like Anduril or Palantir deserve to be shunned and pushed out of any communal space on tech. These are people who willingly choose to work making the killing of other people more efficient and easy. I'm ok, happy even, with them not feeling welcome in FOSS.

@javi @aral NATO launched new fundings for the creation of new defense startups. Anduril is just the most famous, but in five years there might be hundreds of them. The bet of European and American govs is for small and fast defense companies that might manufacture cheap systems and UAVs. Military monster projects from Lockheed might be coming to an end.

@javi @aral I'd consider this an act of self- and mutual defense, just like @republica banning uniformed staff like soldiers from their event premises...
