I’m desperately trying to find a recent dramatic happening in the open source
world in which the admin for the most popular website to download a specific
package turned the homepage into a slew of antivax/COVID denial messages, to the
anger of the community. I’ve tried searching but to no avail. It happened just a
few months ago. IIRC, it was a specific, very popular open source package. Also,
this wasn’t the official website, just the most popular mirror for downloading
the package. Any help in tracking down this drama appreciated. Please do cross
post to other relevant communities if you’re feeling particularly helpful.
Cross-posting for visibility, any help scratching this itch greatly appreciated.
Any idea of what’s the package? Or what it’s supposed to do, like a library for other programs, a specific program?
It was PuTTY! https://sopuli.xyz/comment/19141404
