I just used it as an example. Because the node.js guy spazed out in a politcal sperg and used a supply chain attack on Russians using it. Either side to me is not worth defending or supporting. Just slavs being retarded slavs as usual.
Because "muh russia" is the only reason FOSS software EVAR gets political, amirite?
I really don't have a problem with this kind of thing. I think it's because I view long running projects like N++ to be primarily an extension of their creator and you're kind of relying on the personality of the lead programmer as a layer of quality control. It doesn't matter if you agree with the personality, it just needs to be strong enough to resist trend chasing (in the software at least) and not so strong that some political whimsy inspires a supply chain attack. Ho can name updates however he wants, the code is his, the code works well and, rate me optimistic but, he and his project have a well cemented identity which won't be warped by passing fads in software development.
Because proprietary programs would never add malicious features or loudly broadcast how much they love tranny dick. I agree it's a waste of time to root these kinds of things out of a codebase and you're better off with alternatives, but don't pretend enshitification is somehow unique to FOSS.
But it's the only correct one.
It doesn't have to be suckless software. Any software that is finished can't be fucked up by anyone.
The way i truly see it is that FOSS/Linux/other free software has enough trouble keeping state actors at bay. Who try to use FOSS and other projects to their glowie level wars against each state. What we don't need is some politically assblasted nerd deciding to run malicious code in the grand delusion he is furthering some asshole cause and will be a war hero with his name in a history book for it.
And he was universally condemned for it, saw all his projects quickly forked, and pretty much blew his career to shit as a result. It happened twice and then never again because of the immediate response in both cases. People really don't like having their supply chain fucked with.
If you give an inch, they take a mile.
Based. Everyone who disagrees with me should have their computers destroyed.
Make a YouTube channel to argue with faggots and be beholden to Google.
Let's be frank, there's no professionalism in the computer industry. All of this is a pathetic shitshow. Also, it's whose.
This is not broadly true in the context that you're arguing.
The FOSS model allows for preventative damage control - in theory. In practice it doesnt work because there always is some project which is ran by one person without supervision. That's how the messages get placed into Notepad++ (because it's one persons pet project) and thats how the xz backdoor was installed (because it was maintained by one person).
A joke to piss of trannys in to sperging out and what the node.js guy did is not really comparable is it. Nobody is seriously going to use the +nigger licence in a professional product to be realised to the public.
What was node.js then?
Seems to be doing fine.
So is the spot where the planes hit the world trade centre bro.
Just you wait.
they gotta release the +nigga license. the hard r is a lil too much
