Biggest L take I have seen in a while. If they knew how cracked @gf_256 and team is they would know how embarrassing this take is.
Remember the security firm that Ubuntu hired to audit the (ill-advised, highly buggy) Rust-rewrites of all of the GNU Coreutils?
Turns out that security firm is run by @gf_256, who:
- Appears to be a man who thinks he's a woman ("trans").
- Uses an anime cartoon of a girl as his avatar.
- Appears to have an OnlyFans page.
I repeat: Ubuntu hired a "Trans" man, with an anime girl avatar and an OnlyFans page... to audit Rust code.
It's hard to get more on-the-nose than that.

He's lumping other issues into this and they don't specifically tie into anything
As far as I can tell, he see's the new comers to the scene trying to push some sort of social justice/equality into every project like git/hd's master/slave code of conduct and age verification and clearly Rust.
Both sides of the political spectrum have bad actors in this scene, I'll leave it at that. I have friends on each side of these view points.
People need to go back to just using IRC. Text based, no photos of what people look like ect. Social media has really fucked all of us up.
