Do Rustfags really

@scathach they are just JS monkeys of the systems software world. The more experience I get, the more I agree with the idea of just vendoring dependencies and building everything locally. You want a new library version? Show which piece of code you want or fuck off.

@newt @scathach Code reuse as pushed by npm/crates was the hot topic back in the Internet boom, but the results over the years have clearly shown that the problems far outweigh the benefits. From left-pad to protestware nuking your system only because you have your locale set to something the dev doesn't like (Yes, this has actually happened multiple times already in the JS world.)

@newt @scathach Similarly, a lot of these "supply chain attacks" would never exist if every single one of these deranged language package managers didn't have post-install script hooks. A literal RCE the developer has on your system just by installing a package.

@phnt @scathach I blame and Loinoos for this. "Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow" my ass. Good luck reviewing every piece of shitware that might run on your system.

@phnt @scathach I hate him for what he did to the open source world so much...

@newt @phnt @scathach one day he'll no longer be around and we'll all be glad. we'll be able to enjoy a bsd/mit licensed utopia

@mischievoustomato @phnt @scathach it's not about the license, you ape. intentionally crippled open source projects he either led himself or those where maintainers relied on his opinion for the sole reason that Evil Proprietary Corporations wouldn't be able to use them. I can name at least three examples of that off the top of my head, with one of them being G-fucking-CC.
