For what it’s worth — and replying to just that part to not derail the thread any more — I _am_ (IMO) a “go back to sleep” voter myself. I suppose they just may have different activation energies, but the anduril twitter thread definitely was “it” for me. While I may be able to continue using nix just as I was even if they take over, I absolutely do not want the project handled by people who explicitly support the current policy of _that_ country. Stop it from being taken over by the worse part of the political spectrum and I go back to sleep. Keep going and I may full well turn into a _bona fide_ activist.
