NixOS, the sponsorship thing, community safety
Too many people in the #NixOS community are comfortable with enthusiastically defending Murder Machines Inc., and too many other people just see that as a "difference in opinion" rather than being a direct threat to marginalized folks
I think you can probably guess which demographic this people belong to
re: NixOS, the sponsorship thing, community safety
There sure is a lot of overlap between "people on this list" and "people who are involved in cryptocurrency stuff"
NixOS, the sponsorship thing, fascist
I guess the silver lining is that Palmer Luckey (who runs aforementioned murder machine company) is now crying about censorship on Twitter

Blood money is blood money. It's sad, but I was shocked when NixOS dropped them because I'm so used to companies just taking the money. This should not be the norm.
I quit working at Chef for renewing their contract with ICE (despite internal protests) and would gladly do it again.

@jerry Yeah, that at least tells me that not all hope is lost yet. But at the same time, I am disturbed that it got accepted in the first place, and there are so many people defending it - I had not realized things had already gotten so bad.
re: NixOS, the sponsorship thing, fascist
@joepie91 yeah :(
re: NixOS, the sponsorship thing, community safety
@joepie91 surprised Pikachu face
@joepie91 The latest "so you're pro immigration? aha!" was a nice cherry on top.
A bit disappointed they didn't respond to the "Apolitical support of war enterprise? Cool - let's make some monies in Russia & China?" logic.
@AngryAnt Ah well, not *that* kind of apolitical, you see, they just don't want to recognize the politics that they feel benefit them.

Anyway I guess I need a "will not collaborate with these people" list for NixOS now
