The Xz backdoor and a near miss on the F-Droid app store show how the entitled attitude of some people in the open source community can be used to push malicious or insecure code.
They think it’s “meritocracy” where all that matters is the code you deliver, and you can be the shittiest person on the planet otherwise. It’s created so much toxicity, so much hostility, and driven so many people away.
They’ve apparently learned coding skills at the expense of social skills.
