Okay, I guess the link didn’t go where I wanted it to, so let me repost the most important bit:
Given this response of *nduril CEO to this particular thread, do you still stand by what you said? Do you really feel, that giving people who want to change the NixOS project to be more effective in facilitating america dominating other countries with their military? With cheeto-in-chief capable only of kindergarten-level zero-sum biggest-stick-win thinking and renaming DoD to Department of War, so that — this is Palmer Luckey again, slightly paraphrased to fit the flow of the sentence — we can get a warrior class excited to enact violence on other in pursuit of good aims? When those “good aims” is literally dominating the world?
If you still think people like that should have sway over how this project is governed, then I hope you also didn’t mind when the mod team banned people because they were not in line enough with their leftist views. Because you can’t have one or the other and have a consistent, neutral position.
I am not saying that people working at such a company should be barred from contributing. Neither I am saying they should be barred from participating in the community, as long as they behave respectfully within project spaces. I even think it should be okay to accept money from companies like that in order to fund the project, if they can live with the caveat this has to be a purely philanthropic donation they get nothing in return for — at least it’s a better use of the money than more drones.
But any position that has any influence on how this project governs itself, should be out of question for them and any people employed there, for the duration of their employment. They should be free to accept those roles again, should they ever change employers. It should be a general rule that should be followed equally should any external actor becomes hostile to the projects self-sovreignty.
