A YouTuber named @Theo is demanding that the @FFmpeg project (the open source video encoding tool used across the computer world) kick out a contributor (the person running their X account) — and has offered a $20,000 bounty to FFmpeg if they give in to @Theo’s demands.

Theo, who appears to have a personal vendetta against the person behind the @FFmpeg account, has released a YouTube video where Theo repeatedly screams that the FFmpeg account administrator is a “motherf***er”.

In response, a small number of FFmpeg contributors are proposing a “vote” on whether or not to remove X account access from that contributor (and collect the $20k bounty).

Other FFmpeg contributors are pointing out that @Theo’s actions are those of a bully (manipulating a project and attacking individuals with large bounties, screaming profanities and name calling).Image

Image Update to the “Theo offers $20k bounty to remove FFmpeg contributor” story:

@Theo says this has been “privately settled” and has deleted his X post offering the monetary bounty.

Theo also says he has been “tone policed by Lunduke of all people.” Image

The Lunduke Journal has obtained an internal email from Red Hat (subsidiary of IBM) CEO Matt Hicks, which announces a number of massive DEI related changes at the Open Source giant:

- Red Hat will remove the racist, illegal “diversity requirements” for 3rd party suppliers.
- The DEI communities will be “transformed” into “Employee Resource Groups”.
- DEI related information and language will be updated or removed from Red Hat’s public websites.Image This internal email from Red Hat’s CEO, supplied by multiple whistleblowers, also states that the company will “comply with the applicable laws” while still continuing “to recruit in places and at events that introduce Red Hat to a broad audience.” Image
