over the course of the last few months, my views on #anduril have changed from "please don't give them any support" to "we need to eject them from the #nixos community as soon as possible".
their employees (*multiple* right wing trolls) have collectively wasted *hundreds* of hours of contributor time arguing about sponsorship rules to stop them driving people away, and have begun to be actively cited by people as reasons to leave the community in higher numbers than they ever brought.
@leftpaddotpy Seeing the board utterly cluelessly trotting down the path of increasingly publicly endorsing that company while evoking "professionalism" makes it aboundantly clear to other companies that being publicly associated with NixOS carries non-zero risk.
It is not even close to the primary issue, but the depth of the recursive self-own here is just so ludicrous. Such wild demonstration of incompetence only serves to further incentivize reduction of exposure.
