This is straight up cult behavior. "You WILL assimilate or we WILL kill your project"
PopOS is not a product being sold by techbros trying to pump their stock like AI is, it's free open source software, it doesn't need to "outcompete" anything. If you don't like it, don't use it.
it isn't even me not liking it (I don't think about it at all frankly, I have nothing to like or dislike) - I think it's irresponsible policy. I won't be using something that doesn't accept automated security patches from defender AIs.
Okay, so don't use it. Again: it's an open source project, its maintainers don't owe you anything, nor is anyone claiming you have to use it.
I won't and I recommend anyone currently using it to reconsider due to the security posture the project necessarily and unfortunately has as a direct consequence of its policies.
