it's honestly really impressive that my absurdly, almost indefensibly low bar of "do not go out of your way to proactively enable the military contractors of the most powerful empire in the world" is met with:
- whining from overpaid bay area pieces of shit like dtolnay
- whining and inaction from the foundation board of everyone's fave os nixos
- whining and inaction from the foundation of everyone's fave language rust
- "no, we can't do better" from ostensible community leaders

Did You Know: it is actually really easy to not proactively enable the military contractor of the empire! in order to do that, you simply do not talk to the guy

- no change in license
- no change in how the project is run
- no change in policy

simply do not go out of your way to invite the palantir scumbag

do you need help with that, community leader? I will happily explain the concept of "not emailing a guy" for completely no fee

you're not even being asked to reconcile something that would be actually difficult, like Microsoft's or Amazon's role in the same

no, all you're being asked to do is to not go out of your way to create a comfortable place to representatives of a company whose sole and singular purpose is advancing imperial goals by force

spineless cowards
