So, Debian has fallen, thanks to the (infiltration of?) tech bro supporters. Weren't we supposed to be working/fighting against them? What a truly sad day. How did this happen?
The "social contract" has now been compromised IMHO: It allows for contributing to the destruction of life on our planet as we know it, is generally OK with copyright theft and copyleft whitewashing, and will contribute to the slop-to-code ratio on the interwebs. I would never have imagined this. The social contract felt safe...
I've been most exclusively using Debian from 1998-2016 and considered become a -developer a couple of times.
