It is a javascript library. Obviously people are super mad about it. Check out the issues page: https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/node-ipc/issues
IP address based racism basically, kinda like how github blocks Iranian programmers.
The author sounds like the kind of person who thinks the opposition to their move is a signal for how correct their morals are.
Not that everyone is criticising them in good faith. If you go through the issues you can tell that a lot of people there probably don’t use the library or a derivative but are enjoying the opportunity they have found to slag off someone anonymously.
Meanwhile the library author has doubled down on the correctness of their peacenotwar module to inflict collective punishment on Russian and Belarusian people. Typical woke imperialist mindset. I think they have removed the destructive malware in node-ipc though so that is a small positive. But I don’t know who will decide to use this library now that it comes bundled with peacenotwar.
if you are a serious programmer, and you write serious shit that you actually want to use for something good, you re not putting it on github, so every ass at microsoft can shaft your code before you even release your application. i consider the praxis of uploading your work to github an absolute education to idiocy. create your personal repository and share open source. But why share with fucking Microshaft? They are shafting us every day, giving away our data, lobbying against our privacy, using our CPU downtime for their purposes (!!! - usually military) and taking our taxpayer money after lobbying our governments into submission
remember all the cities which attempted to turn their bureaucratic management to linux and away from Microsoft? Coincidentally all these cities grew cancer pustules in the form of bureau-towers where microsoft now has an office… and a few other criminal corporations
github is NOT open source, it is not FOSS, well, some of the applications on github are, but this is like building a library of alexandria for the guys who burn books they don’t like
Author is now trying to turn it into a public service announcement about “controlling your node modules” which sounds like it came off the same production line as GaMeRgAtE IS aBoUT EtHiCs IN jOUrNalISM.
This code serves as a non-destructive example of why controlling your node modules is important. It also serves as a non-violent protest against Russia’s aggression that threatens the world right now. This module will add a message of peace on your users’ desktops, and it will only do it if it does not already exist just to be polite.
Dude must have a different definition of “violence”…
Scriptkiddie-tier shit and now this manchild’s name will be shitlisted in open source communities until the end of time, but Putin pwned I guess.
very entertaining! hope this makes more people jump on their chair in awe at how corrupt is this whole npm filth schmecosystem…
