this what happens when being truly open source isn’t prioritised.

and they’re probably a UK proxy too

the UAE is a leech on SWANA

ppl in tech jump into the arms of fascism and then, only afterwards do they go “that was a bad idea??? i got harmed personally???” followed up immediately with “surely the next steve jobs won’t steer me wrong tho”

there isn’t nearly enough of a strong reaction against this, and i can’t say i don’t understand why. techbros thrive on influencers justifying enshittification to it’s users so why wouldn’t that trickle down to open source communities built specifically to spite those same tech bros? i guess i just expected these kinds of people to have more integrity, and be able to tell when a fox is in sheeps clothing. but tech is pretty much nothing if not jumping into the arms of fascism first.

lmfao this entire situation is just the average rational person vs big tech lapdogs
