someone can send me a link explaning what's happening?
It's a hostile takeover by a handful of politically far-left individuals, stealing power away from Nix's creator, Eelco, framed by them as "giving power to the community," when they really just want to establish their own oligarchy and run moderation their way.
Just like Eelco's way of governing, it will likely have 0 effect on 99% of people using NixOS, but a handful of maintainers will be mad. Nothing will change for those out of the loop.
Eelco is also leftist so no (this is said in the open letter) also the maintainers are what make nix be nix so yes, it's has the potencial to affect a lot of people and the link send explaining the situation has very good arguments(with proofs), that don't have any correlation with left or right, you need to give a good argument if you want people to belive in you
There's a difference between a leftist and a left-wing extremist like the handful of people involved with the open letter
Yes of course, but the maintainers aren't really affect either.
What I'm saying is there are only a few maintainers upset right now, and if the tide turns (which it looks like it has) only a few maintainers on the other side will be upset.
My point is overall only a few maintainers will be upset, like 10-20 or so out of thousands, so the status quo will stay the same.
Not really
Strong correlation with far-left extremist ideas, actually
Those writing the open letter didn't give good arguments, so I don't need to either
What is the left-wing extremism in this case?
Left wing extremism lmfao. You dropped this 🔴
As opposed to the right wing extremists supporting the military industrial complex and starting a capitalist coup of nixos (detsys) to take over the community? ( We can all grasp at straws you lunatic)
