UPDATE: We now have a forum https://forum.aux.computer/ I like #Nix, I do not like what has happened to it. #NixOS is an incredible technology and it deserves better. Nobody else has started the process so I guess I have to be the one to do it. We are forking. I would rather try and fail alongside all the people who love Nix but were pushed away from the project than give up. https://aux.computer/

I just saw the news of the soft fork announcement over on the IceShrimp instance and thought I should share here

    As an outsider looking in, it looks like it’s a bit of a wipe the slate clean governance and moderation wise as voted on by the community.

    So, now over the coming days the community will in essence vote on whether they will allow sponsorships from the military industrial complex.

      I’m still not entirely sure what’s happening. I get the one guy who works for Anduril was suspended a few days ago for being toxic, but did the community side with him or not? The subreddit sure seems to be siding with him, but something tells me that may not something to be proud of.

      Was this split about trying to get away from Anduril or because they didn’t care for the moderation that suspended the guy from Anduril?
