But a lot of the technologies were explicitly designed with military use in mind. It’s not like some unintended and unplanned side effect.

So a better analogy would be swords that can also be used to cut fruit instead of killing maybe.

But we’re in a thread about leadership crisis of nix here. Was nix designed explicitly for military in mind?

>>myacco+t5
I don't know. The designer and founder of nix at least does not seem to explicitly exclude military use.

From what I understand, this is actually the root cause of the conflict here; the founder of the project seems to be fine with military use, some other members of the community are not.
