     @gnutools Imagine hating freedom so much you default to a clearly insecure coreutils (4359453853 dependencies).

     @gnutools who cares about freedom, free software, or #GNU anymore? Fiercely defending user freedom? Not the rusties. That's all just hippie/communist talk. Corporate interests for the win!

     Makes you wonder in this era just how far into the extreme right their political views are or is it all just a coincidence?

     @anthk @gnutools They'll either be based and just package GNU coreutils themselves, or will take the proprietarypill and default to rust coreutils.

     @ekaitz_zarraga To be fair, the @gnutools account is not an official account of the GNU project or the GNU toolchain and so really unrelated to GNU.

     @janneke @gnutools And the fact that GCC toolchain is sharing this... quite disturbing.

     Also, maybe we are just hippies @janneke ...
     GNU still means something to me, and I feel that's not true to most of the people nowadays.
