I hope this call to action will come to some form of resolution, as I indeed feel quite uneasy with both the current state of the Nix project and with the involvement of contractors such as Anduril. I've lost good friends that died crossing borders to find a better life, and I'd prefer to stay away from projects involving the tracking of migrants by ML-trained drones running Haskell and NixOS. However, my current livelihood is built around Nix, so I cannot simply threaten to quit using and contributing to NixOS, and going back to Debian after the Nix experience would be quite frustrating.
I also have my own frustrations with some contributions to the Nix project, where my input and concerns were completely disregarded and ignored, in cases where I suspect that the interests of external companies (heavily invested in Nix) played a big part.
Curious, if your livelihood wasn't built around Nix, why would you have gone back to Debian, instead of Guix ?
