Do not do this

@Gargron Do not do what what exactly, protest against the war?

ruff, this is pure vandalism, not a protest. Do protest. Don't vandalize stuff. That simple.

@grishka Oh right, of course. When your family is hot you request authorities to allow protest. got it. and if they reject - you oblige. Of course.

ruff, you aren't making any sense. Please answer this simple question: how exactly a piece of malware unleashed upon innocent people is an act of protest?

@grishka @Gargron Innocent people will say - "shit happens" and learn the lesson (not to use npm). If there's a slim chance it can compromise a single nut in a russian war machine it's already a good win.

@grishka @Gargron And by good win I mean not moral satisfaction of some jerk but potentially saved lives.

ruff, it's a fun assumption that Russian military uses computers at all.

> "shit happens" and learn the lesson (not to use npm)
This isn't how this works.

@grishka
russian military uses money that russian government gets from taxes that «simple innocent» russians pay when buying and using computers. also, i'm like 99,99% sure every army today does use computers.

i'm not defending the nmp maintainer here... just pointing out that the rather manipulative game of looking for holes in one's logic you're playing here can be turned both ways.

@ruff @Gargron

@Gargron @grishka I was waiting when it will come to this - to compare your buttheart from malware with killing people. Good luck with that.

@ruff @grishka @Gargron

Something is really messed up in your head 🤦‍♂️

I hope that it's only a side-effect of emotions and not your everyday thinking process.
