Drew Chadwick DeVault / ddevault / SirCmpwn - Opinionated white-male-guilt-ridden software developer. Cancelled Hyprland and slandered it as "toxic" and transphobic. Hates X11 users and Hacker News. Lolicon.

The fact he's DFEing everything is a definitive indication of his guilt if nothing else, can't wait to see what happens once the knowledge is out there.
It's not that indicative he wrote the actual essay, although I think it's been pretty irrefutably established that he's at least one of the writers and probably in charge of the possible civil conspiracy to defame if there were more than one writer.

However, it definitely does prove he's a nonce with a lot of shit to hide.
I would hope this will finally make people less so sympathetic of Drew, but alas I have a feeling most of his fans will not care. He could bomb New York tomorrow and they'd not care.
Does he really have fans or just people who aren't yet sick enough of his shit to say so, whether because he's a vindictive cocksucker or because there isn't a critical mass of people who hate his guts at this point?

I mean he's a white male (for certain values of white). They always turn on those eventually.
 
If he has any sense, he'll ask the Internet Archive to remove those archives. Still, they're a little busy over there right now.
Him asking is basically a guarantee; it's really just going to come down to IA's availability. Just thinking out loud, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's someone in that organization that is or will be sympathetic to him when warns of supposed imminent danger from evil chuds looking to doxx him.
 

DFE Update:

Drew appears to have fully nuked https://spacepub.space, his personal peertube (p2p video-sharing) instance, which included the recorded livestream where he leaked his qutebrowser quickmarks (video clip here).

The whois records of the domain appear to be unchanged, but the server is now refusing connections on port 80 and 443, for both the IPv4 (69.164.212.59) and IPv6 (2600:3c03::f03c:91ff:fe99:88a4) addresses.
Unfortunately this means we have lost the evidence forever :(
Lol J/K

There was probably a lot more on his other streams that we've never seen because nobody wants to watch a 30 hour drew marathon. The fact that he deleted the rest of them itself implies that he thought he may have exposed something.

And now for something random, here's drew's osu account: https://osu.ppy.sh/users/4789850 His banner features a two year old version of Miku, the tyranny mascot (full version https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/1506979)

Who knows - we can hope they do turn on him. However, with how long this has been going on, i have my doubts. We'll see though, we'll see.
 
With the DFE in progress, I wouldn't be surprised if Drew was currently F5-ing this thread, looking for things he forgot in his DFE. Thus, I suggest to any kiwis digging up evidence on Drew, hold off on posting about it until you've managed to secure archives. Even if it isn't something he can directly touch, he clearly has contacts with tranny jannies willing to sweep for him scattered throughout the tech industry.

If you can't archive it yourself, maybe reach out to OP or one of the other regulars in this thread who have been posting archive links.
Note that Internet Archive will respond to takedown requests so being on the Wayback Machine isn't good enough, either have it saved locally or re-archive it to archive.today (pro-tip, archive.today will accept archive.org links) or ideally both.

Seconding the need for double archival. Archive.org links should be fed into archive.is , and @Null is probably needed to get the full video file up on the site.
 
Regardless of how this ends, Drew DeVault as the founder of Sourcehut, and what ever other open source software foundations and organizations he's in (someone could insert the list here), and considering the people he's associated with from said organizations, people still need to reach out to him for statements and clarification on his previous political stances he's made in the past ranging from the bodies of underage girls to his stances on his admitted loli hobby and the legality of it in the European Union where he currently resides. If Drew DeVault can't be reached for comment, perhaps we can ask what the people he's associated with think about them and their views on them. Are they willing to denounce Drew? Are they willing to reach out to Drew DeVault for comment and/or a written apology? Are they willing to distance themselves from Drew DeVault for those comments and if not, why not?

If anyone wants to insert further questions in this format or better written, with the quote, a screenshot, and archive or evidence of said quote, that way a journalist or anyone can reach out to him or his associates to get a statement. Him not responding to his previous political views and statements could imply that he still holds said political views which can be pretty troubling given the Code of Conduct pledges he's endorsed in the past. If he no longer holds such views and denounces said statements made in the past, is he willing to write an explanation and apology for them as outlined in the code of conduct pledges he endorses?


Do you still believe that 14 year old girls should be required to have an IUD installed for 10 years of contraception until they turn 24? Can you elaborate your political stance on it, why you advocate for it, and how did you come to decide the ages of 14 to have an IUD inserted and the removal age of it at 24 years of age?
I'm of the opinion that 14 year old girls should be required to have an IUD installed. Ten years of contraception that requires a visit to the doctor to remove prematurely.

Do you still believe that women aren't capable of supporting children before the age of 24? Can you elaborate your political stance on it and how did you come to such conclusion?
Name three girls you know who were able to support a child before the age of 24.

Do you still pity pedophiles for not being able to control what turns them on because they happen to be turned on by something illegal? And do you still believe it is a dick move to try and bring it up and shame them publicly for it? Can you elaborate your political stance on it and why you advocate for it?
What an ass, you don't have to call him out in the middle of a (mostly) unrelated post. I pity pedophiles - you can't control what turns you on, and they happen to be turned on by something illegal. It's a dick move to try and bring it up and shame him publicly.

Do you still believe it is okay to be sexually attracted to underage anime characters based on the year the anime character was released, in addition to the time passed since its release date and not the age depicted when released? Can you elaborate your political stance on it and why you advocate for it?
Released in 2007, age 14, coming on 20 now.


Someone already reached out to some of his associates on Sourcehut for comment and Drew for comment on Mastodon regarding his IUD on 14 year old girls statement, but both comments were deleted, With this we can confirm he's aware about it even if he ignores or pretends he's not aware already. Perhaps someone with more experience can re-write or add to the questions from everything that has been discovered because someone mentioned that IUDs can sometimes cause permanent health complications for women. Drew DeVault has been quoted saying that it is not eugenics when someone pointed out that it could be construed as such because he said it was a "simple procedure to remove the device". Many of these statements are pretty disturbing and could come off as sexist and xenophobic. He has yet to clarify whether he still believes in these things as he has yet to denounce his past statements nor has he apologized for them or anyone it might have hurt.

I have held back publishing mine for a few days in light of the information that Drew is a kid diddler because I want time to include all of the fresh new lolz when I'm done.

If you put up something, focus on the most damning stuff in his thread (the 14 y/o IUD statements with links to ALL the reddit archives people have used), the fact that he nuked his dot files which had shortcuts to anime threads on 4chan and danboro, his defense of pedos .. I'd really make that a very short and sweet first page. Have a separate link to your rebuttal of any Stallman stuff. Make the first page hit hard with the stuff discovered in this thread.

In a sane world, childish behavior like this would've resulted in this bald piece of shit getting banned from freedesktop and anyone with major pull in the FOSS community would disassociate with this walking liability.

I can't believe he's not banned on Hackernews. There are a lot of smaller devs whose personal accounts, and entire websites, have been banned/shadow-banned from HackerNews. You can find several blogs and reddit posts talking about this with a simple search:


I'm really wondering if there could be more to this. Is he just an egotistical narcissistic, or is there someone nudging him in this direction with political motives. Watch him carefully over the next few years and see if he suddenly gets onto open source board positions. People missed all the loli-apologizing until just now. I imagine digging another layer deeper has to reveal connections between him and other tech-political actors.

So, this is what a true lolcow is like, is it? We've just watched Drew hang himself. It's fascinating behaviour. I try not to put anything on the Internet that could bite me in the ass later, but he did, and only found it wise to remove it once it was too late.

He's going after Stallman and calling him a pedo, yet his open history has him defending nonces and posting loliphile links. He's so fucking stupid (or arrogant) he didn't cover his tracks. Is this a simple case of "confession though projection"? I not so sure. This has to involve jeleously of more successful projects combined with his type-A personality and incrediblly ego-centric world view. But I also believe he's got to have some money coming in from somewhere else, because there's no way anyone could possibly be this stupid or jeleous unless someone is paying him for it (in either money or status).
 
Coming back from the feature. It's pretty wild that the calculator sperg is the same guy behind the Stallman Report, and is a pedophile in his own right. Seeing some of the chungus pics from IRC, this guy this the end result of owning nothing and being happy. Just imagine being an anime pedophile who's overly concerned with what display server protocol your laptop uses...

This is the defining trait of a lolcow.
 
This is one of those threads that gets me close to MATI when I think about it. It's a clear power grab especially with the board meeting vote... He started the FSF and the movement, go start your own gay foundation, with blackjack and hookers.

I decided to be a useful retard, went through the thread since the Stallman Report was published, and archived all Internet Archive snapshots I came across. Some of these were already archived, many thanks to the kiwis who did so.

Partway through, this turned into an effort to make sure all links were archived, or doubly, or triply so.

Below is a table of all IA or original links, what page & post they first appear on, and the Archive Today and Ghost Archive links, with a note of the context of the link, in case any kiwis or jannies want to update the relevant posts. I included broken links in case some other kiwi wants to try to grab them.

@Bloom Worm Cross Field do you want me to archive your gitgud.io mirrors? Or would you rather more people just miror the raw repository itself?

Does anyone know what's going on with the broken web archive links? We know he's reading and deleting his own website repos that link him to the danbooru account. Is he also going out of his way to send requests to web archive to remove his own archived Reddit history? Do the broken URLs tell you when the snapshot was deleted by a user request or is the error "Sorry. This snapshot cannot be displayed due to an internal error." a legit non-related server error while the archive org puts everything back up due to the whole hack/publisher fiasco? If this is the case though, perhaps the backup of the archived links he's sending requests to be deleted might be better entrusted with a few private people and produced upon request? Not really sure how archive takedown requests work and if they even comply. Or maybe I'm just overthinking it, which is more than likely the case.

Loli hobby, danbooru, and anime aside, he and anyone associated with him in a professional capacity will have to answer for his Reddit comments regardless even if you were to take away the whole anime and RMS hitpiece out of the equation. He runs Sourcehut which is supposed to be a Github competitor, and is involved with other open source organizations in a professional capacity. It is of interest to those people that someone they are involved with made such statements and has yet to clarify or apologize for them as it is something that goes against their own code of ethics. They pride themselves on being ethical and holding everyone to the same standards as the ones outlined in the most recent and previous Stallman report after all. I imagine there's still a list of signees and backers of the most recent and previous report. A statement from them disavowing and distancing themselves from the comments might finally get Drew DeVault to do the right thing and address them and issue an apology as we can only assume he still holds said political views.

Whats funny is he would have gone without this scrutiny presumably forever if he just didn't stir the pot.
