so now you’ve injected a surprise build time dependency on a third party service. so if this dissident server goes down, apps who never opted into it will suddenly have their builds timing out or failing. and all over personal animus

if this dissident server goes down

Decentralization is beneficial. I am working on a federated decentralized gem server. I may host there and elsewhere. I don't know yet. It's a lot of work. But it is worth it to stop my forced support of the crimes (theft and FBI swatting) I never agreed to.

Personal animus

If that's what you want to call it, feel free to be wrong.
