@ikey.doherty: The story of how and why I came to turn my back on AerynOS, formerly SerpentOS. A Linux based operating system I built from the ground up complete with an industry shaking design and software management, embodying the stateless philosophy I had helped pioneer in Clear Linux Project for Intel Architecture. Doxxed on the day we visited a holy location looking for healing, whilst dealing with the traumatic loss of a baby, my investigations for cancer, and my wife suffering a terrible breakdown. Would’ve all been avoided if I hadn’t given him that second chance months earlier, when I caught him messaging other community and team members to erode their trust in me. Subsequently discovered they’d turned a key investor away from the project during the earlier days. As someone whose been to the peak, learn from my experience: watch those around you that you bring along for the journey. Your coat tails may become your sentence. Despite everything I saw betrayal coming from past experience and introduced a CLA for all contributions ensuring nobody could ever subvert the project nature and relicense the source code. #betrayal #opensource #trauma #travellertok #foryoupage
