I am deeply saddened at the fact that I need to do this. I have no
interest in re-litigating everything that has happened over the past
weeks and months, but I want to make my position(s) extremely clear:
The thought of any of my work contributing to someone's death by drone
makes me feel physically ill.
Recent communications from senior members of the NixOS community have
made it clear that leadership is unaware or uninterested in the basics
of how to run and moderate a community in a way that is resilient to bad
actors. The recent post by @edolstra is tone-deaf and gives me no
confidence that the Nix/NixOS community is a place that I want to remain
involved in going forward. I am thus choosing to remove myself from such
a community.
I also hereby resign from the ACME team.

Feel free to remove the following packages, which were essentially personal tools:
- apc-temp-fetch:
this is outdated anyways, it needs flit to build now,

- libowlevelzs
- zs-apc-spdu-ctl
- zs-wait4host
- zstxtns-utils
Yall won't miss me. The packages I leave orphaned are trivially updated as dependents need the new versions.
But passively endorsing the direction this organization and its leadership is something I can't do.
To those who still have faith in turning this around, you da real MVP 🖖
Please accept this letter as formal notice of my resignation from the
position of "Community Member" at DeterminateSystems.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work in this position - I
have thoroughly enjoyed being frustrated and saddened whenever
interacting with the DetSys community. However, I've decided it is time for me
to move on to another community that will hopefully be less tolerant of
willful hate and sexism.

Also updates my information and contact info.
I no longer use The Hedgehog as my github username or online presence
username, so this fixes that. It also matches my github username, so it
should be easier for others to mention me if needed.
