A surprising amount of people in the open source community lean alt-right including the lead dev of systemd, some of FUTO, and others like hyprland, etc. Others like the actual dev that committed the age field code to systemd state they are apolitical but in reality are actually enabling those that want to do harm.

This attack is no limited to “alt-right”, it is across the political spectrum. Ex. there are plenty of lefty states implementing these laws. Authoritarian is still authoritarianism whether it’s from left or right. (I’d also argue that software development is generally filled with leftists, I think the recent rise of prominent right-leaning developers is in reponse to many projects forgoing politically neutrality)
