Hi, I’m a subsystem maintainer for the Drupal project, a security team member, and over the years have helped maintain several of the largest projects in the ecosystem. I’ve also contributed to a number of open source projects over the years and have a lot of experience collaborating with maintainers to get fixes committed going back to early amd64 fixes coming out of testing in the gentoo project before Intel even had a real 64bit platform. I’ve got a pretty good feel for how this works and it’s safe to say FLOSS is kinda my day job.
You got me, I’m impersonating some other neclimdul guy that’s easily Googleable and matches the description I gave. I registered this account two years ago and participated in discussions all this time so I could trick you specifically Hawkeye. You really did call me out. Good one.
you act like it’s impossible for anyone to go register that name.
I don’t know who you are. I didn’t even google your name because I really don’t care enough who you claim to be.
my point is, your original comment called him out as petty and even so I believe that’s warranted. if a group of people are using the tools that he created in a way that he doesn’t like or want, is he not entitled to make a change to stop that from happening?
at that point the whole community could fork the repo and do their own thing. but no, entitled shitlord users want to post ragebait shitposts and call the dude an asshole for putting his foot down and drawing a line because he’s had enough of entitled shitlord package managers.
the guy didn’t do anything wrong, because as the maintainer he has the sole responsibility and vision of where he wants to take his project. the community isn’t wrong is forking it either.
the only people who are wrong are the ones calling him a petty bitch asshole for doing the thing he’s supposed to do!
