Nix / NixOS

It's the same controversy as it was last year and the year before that: should the military-industrial complex be allowed to benefit from the Nix commons? It's disappointing that you don't think that the ethics of our profession is worth more than the output of our labor, particularly when it comes to exploitation, mass surveillance, war, and genocide.

Most of us write flakes outside of nixpkgs. I'm still listed as a maintainer and get pinged, but I don't really care; anything I care about is already being actively developed out-of-tree. I doubt I'm the only maintainer taking that sort of quiet-quitting path.
