Here it is, now I *do* have a list

[aens@transfem.social]

@drew@social.freebitcoin.gay Where's suckless? I've heard a lot about them here and there but don't see them on the list. I guess they are probably quite a bit smaller than anyone listed

@drew@social.freebitcoin.gay

this is an insult to weird little guys everywhere

[h@is-a.catinsi.de]

@drew@social.freebitcoin.gay Is there a ublock origin filter list somewhere for services operated by those individuals?

[endymion_mallorn@kbin.melroy.org]

Most of the people who have done meaningful things in FOSS are on the list. I find that interesting.

new weird little guys

https://drewdevault.com/weird-guys/

I added the rest of the nostr crew, including Jack Dorsey and Fiatjaf, as well as the founder of Mullvad VPN, Daniel Berntsson, and Curtis Yarvin, founder of Urbit. Get it while it's hot!

Thanks for all of the feedback and suggestions!

How about the Jai guy?

@drew
gross that #RMS defends sexual exploitation of animals. good to see it called out!

yet let's not forget that anyone who's eating animal products is not only defending the same thing but even taking part in it!

that interspecies nonconsentual breastmilk fetish ( also known as #dairy ) depends on non-stop forced impregnation of females and the kidnapping the children who would've drunk their mother's milk. #GoVegan

new batch of weirdos

I fleshed out some more of DHH's network, adding rails core team member and Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke, and David's personal friend Mitchell Hashimoto, founder of Hashicorp, who serves on the board of directors of Vercel, the company behind Next.js whose CEO Guillermo Rauch, now added to the list, was recently pictured with war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu. I also found some better sources to make the case for Louis Rossman's inclusion, so he made the cut, too. Spread the word!

more weirdos!

https://drewdevault.com/weird-guys/

Added Andy Yen, pro-Trump CEO of Proton, Evgeny Poberezkin, maintainer of SimpleX chat and far-right conspiracy theorist supported by Jack Dorsey, Laslo Hunhold, the neo-nazi leader of suckless.org, and Vincent Canfield, the owner of the edgy cock.li mail provider known for its shocking domain names and for being a radical free speech mail hoster for extremists and hate groups.

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback, tips, and sources for these and others on the list.

weird little guys update

I added two weird little guys today: Justin M. Keyes, the NeoVim developer whose crash-out over DHH inspired the list, and Jeff Geerling, popular YouTuber and anti-abortion/anti-LGBTQ activist.

I also added an RSS feed:

weird little guys of FOSS update

I have removed someone from the list! Laslo Hunhold of suckless got in touch and answered some questions for me, and suckless has finally issued a statement to clear a few things up, and updated the page with the infamous torchlit march photograph with a clarification.

I'm not a fan of projects trying to be apolitical, but they do now explicitly disclaim fascism and nazism, and my disagreements on apolitical stuff aside, this no longer qualifies them as weirdos in my book.

@drew

a relatively common leisure event in Germany

This has been their excuse in the past but it’s not true. I have never heard of anyone doing this other than far right people and, arguably, the military and adjacent/military-like organizations (I have lived in Germany for 12 years.)

new #weirdlittleguys

I have re-introduced Mitchell Hashimoto, founder of #Hashicorp and #Ghostty, after collecting more receipts. He has close personal and financial relationships with a tightly knit web of weird little guys.

Read the scoop here!

https://drewdevault.com/weird-guys/#hashimoto

I'm still collecting information on all of the weird little youtubers, which is a big project that will take a while. If you've got tips, and especially if you have sources, on weird little youtube fellows, please let me know!

[drew@social.freebitcoin.gay]

womp womp. Laslo Hunhold of suckless is back on the list:

@drew what happened now?

@TheEvilSkeleton @drew If I had to guess:
> They all do a decent job of maintaining plausible deniability, but it falls apart on closer inspection.

Also hello fellow India-person!

[drew@social.freebitcoin.gay]

@cynical_melomaniac @TheEvilSkeleton they quietly rolled back the changes, e.g. the antifascist statement on suckless.org
