It makes me ashamed to think that the one true contender against #redhat and #RHEL on this side of the pond is currently run by a bunch of irradiated crybabies.

We were supposed to be better. What even is this?

You are bad at communicating and should feel bad about communicating. Stop pretending like you're not using community labour to prop up some future #SaaS. It's ridiculously insulting to the intelligence.

And if you call them out? Oh my lord. Geez Louise! Whate even is this?!

My previous praising of how "things have calmed down" makes me feel stupid, because i had not put myself into the communication being passed off as "civil discourse".

This is (for lack of better words) cringe. Absolute cringe. It smatts of the Silicon Valley tech bro attitude that we all supposedly despise - complete with idol worship and frail masculinity.

This is not what was promised. This is not okay by means of the imagination, especially now with the geo-political situation.

If you are a maintainer of #nix, #nixpkgs or #nixos: listen up.

You've got about 2 years or so being a serious contender, until someone like #lix or even #ostree with #ComposeFS comes in and eats your lunch.

Part and parcel of that is the community, the language, the security of knowing that there is culpability and responsibility.

Linus Torvalds had to walk it off because an entire foundation told him to. If the nix "community" is beyond this, why give #DeterminateSystems contracts?

Someone is going to eat my lunch? I've been commiting for 10+ years and I never got any lunch.
