He acknowledged deleting the #GNOME and #COSMIC repositories from #GitHub, removing the corresponding packages from the Cooker #development branch, and publishing a package that obsoleted them. But he said the changes were intended as a protest after #maintainers removed #OneDev #configuration files from multiple #repositories without consulting him, effectively disabling work he had been doing on a new build and mirroring #infrastructure.

#OpenSource used to mean trusting skilled developers to build and maintain good #software so others did not need to learn every language, tool, or best practice themselves.

Now, #SupplyChainAttack and #AISlop have made many projects harder to trust.

Too much software is rushed, poorly understood, or built for hype instead of quality.

#Developers now spend more time checking code, #dependencies, and #maintainers instead of simply building software.

#AI was supposed to reduce cognitive load😒
