"there is no moral difference taking money from Anduril or from Microsoft. Microsoft has had multi-billion dollar Pentagon and other agency contracts for many years now, and the things they produce are used wherever the U.S. Government wants to use them, including as tools for war and border control."
100% this. #nixos is so embedded in #github that it is hard to take any complaints about other partners or sponsors seriously.
@yisraeldov@chrism NixOS is not deeply embedded into GitHub. Many CI checks are just executing shell code in the end which can be early run locally and be adopted and everything specific to GitHub would need to find a replacement, like the labeler.
The main problem is scalability. Running your own infrastructure on that level of size, complexity and availability is a major undertaking and eg. Gitea couldn't even handle the amount of forks.
