This week, the developer of the popular npm package 'node-ipc' released sabotaged versions of the library in protest of the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War. The 'node-ipc' package, which gets downloaded over a million times weekly, began deleting files on developer's machines, in addition to creating new text files with "peace" messages.
Sticking a knife in the heart of open source to own the Ruskies. The whole thing stands on trust. You open the door to sabotage like that and every company has to start wondering if they can survive in such an invironment.
Fuckin libs, man.
Tbh I'm pleasantly surprised open source lasted this long before major sabotage.

Yeah, before now libs just ran interference for fascists. Now it's masks off.
