Adding that the Google engineer’s code needs to “get bent”. As you might have guessed, Torvalds has https://t.co/k6AMFBzMU0  ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/LundukeJournal/status/1954143710926512252)) - A group of Lefist Activists are pushing for the Ruby on Rails project to remove the project’s founder (@dhh) because they claim he “holds racist and transphobic views” and “other traits undesirable”.

This appears to be in response to the NixOS Steering Committee (the elected, governing body) attempting to make https://t.co/uF6mE9ZNZV     ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/LundukeJournal/status/1971989255363719313)) - Overturning elections is a common tactic of the Extreme Leftist Activists within Open Source. - NixOS Moderators demand the ability to remove all NixOS elected officials. - openSUSE permanently banned past Board members (and Board candidates) who have the “wrong” political ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/LundukeJournal/status/1972303714498048277)) - Debian developers declare that XLibre (the open source fork of Xorg) is run by “Nazis” who would “would have sent [someone] to a camp, were they given the opportunity.” “I am not willing to let Debian become a Nazi bar.” This stance is reinforced by multiple Debian Developers, https://t.co/mgS2znqvig     ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/LundukeJournal/status/1974106535073583399)) - Linux, Rust, & NixOS Use Master Branch, Support Human Slavery Using the term "Master" in our software projects is racist, right? I guess that makes Linux, and most of the "Woke" Open Source Projects super, duper racist. https://t.co/G35hDAbN28 ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/LundukeJournal/status/1973754830343839800)) - Fedora Linux Weaponizes Code of Conduct Against Jews Call a Jew a "Nazi"? Encourage murder of Jews? Fedora Linux (and Red Hat) say that's ok. Suggest that someone is being "antisemitic"? That's a "Code of Conduct Violation". https://t.co/iENrH94AsQ ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/LundukeJournal/status/1973475581259030774)) - The Extreme Leftist Activists of Open Source are pushing the “Fash” label harder and harder for any person or project they object to. These attacks are even coming from the Tech Press, like this Editor of OSNews. https://t.co/yIQgGSJtvt  ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/LundukeJournal/status/1973430742031196378)) - The Leftist Activists of Open Source are ramping up their attacks on @FrameworkPuter, calling the Linux-focused hardware company “Nazis” and “fascists”.

Yesterday, Rust changed to "Main". https://t.co/5fi9KIdlBK ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/LundukeJournal/status/1979585424688287832)) - The concept that “Free Software is Communism” shows a lack of understanding of both Free Software and Communism. The GPL license only functions, at a basic level, under a Capitalist system. Without ownership, and copyright laws, the entire concept instantly falls apart.

([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/LundukeJournal/status/1982587732204703963)) - @theo @FFmpeg Only share things with me if you are comfortable doing so. Noted that the bounty has been withdrawn. If there’s anything else you’d like to have included in my coverage of this, feel free to reach out (publicly or privately). ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/LundukeJournal/status/1982583021799985215)) - @theo @FFmpeg Earlier when you said “The team formally requested that things be toned down”, was that referring to the VLC team and not the FFmpeg team (as you say you have had no contact with FFmpeg)? Again, just so we’re clear (as you had not answered the question), is the monetary bounty ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/LundukeJournal/status/1982581135969296491)) - @theo @FFmpeg For clarification: Have you officially retracted the $20k bounty, or does that remain in effect? Has any representative from FFmpeg contacted you privately in relation to the bounty? ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/LundukeJournal/status/1982577000104784068)) - @theo @FFmpeg Noted. You disagree with people doing public outreach (social media) being referred to as “contributors”. Do you agree with the word “bounty” being used in this case? Also, how was this issue resolved? Are you satisfied with the resolution?

Theo believes this is the result of “hater spam-reporting” following backlash from his (now retracted) https://t.co/GdooHLn8s3   ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/LundukeJournal/status/1982945545376112797)) - In news that is no longer surprising, another blog post has been published to the official GNOME website which includes the following: - Calls @OmarchyLinux creator @DHH: “vile and misanthropic” with “poisonous roots” on a “fash (fascism) speedrun” who will “spew their vomit in https://t.co/PDvh7L8BSI     ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/LundukeJournal/status/1986300791120884193))
