The founder of the \"temporary-audacity\" fork (now tenacity) announced his resignation as maintainer due to harassment that occurred during the voting process to choose the project name. Users in the \/g\/ section of the 4chan forum pushed for the name Sneedacity, where \"sneed\" references the meme \"Sneed's Feed & Seed.\" The fork's author did not accept this name, initiated a new vote, and confirmed the name \"tenacity.\" <\/p>\n
Supporters of the name Sneedacity were outraged by this decision, founded a new fork, and attempted to submit the package to the AUR repository of Arch Linux, but the AUR repository was removed due to a complaint that the name Sneedacity encodes the medical term \"Special needs\" and offends mentally challenged individuals. A call was also made to report the Sneedacity repository on GitHub for inciting hatred, violence, and harassment (supporters of the name Sneedacity believe this is an attempt to suppress a competing project). <\/p>\n
After this, discussions began on the 4chan forum about the identity of the author of the \"temporary-audacity\" fork and how to retaliate by getting his GitHub account deleted or discrediting him (for example, it was found that he does not program in C but works with JavaScript, even though he created a fork of a project in C). The author of \"temporary-audacity\" faced a wave of trolling, slander, and insults, which culminated in him having to call the police, as unknown malicious individuals had tracked down his home address and threatened physical violence (according to the fork's author, he was stabbed in the arm in front of three witnesses, but the discussion on the 4chan forum considers this an invention). \n Source: opennet.ru<\/a> <\/p>","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
