A developer of some Ruby Gems pulled the code as a statement against certain entities (Department of Homeland Security — DHS) ultimately using the code. Chef gets owned in the process.
ZDNet has a good rundown of the incident:

It seems that developers at chef may have used an old copy of the dev's code to get things back up and running again, which seems like exactly the wrong approach.

Not completely on topic but I have a lot of fun every time a leftist mentions Russia.
First because when the same place was named URSS the roles were reversed, to the point of Russian cities being dedicated to Mr. Snitch Togliatti.
Second because the internationalists who want to abolish borders become very mindful of them when the human being who orients the policy of another human being is not a lefty
Third because in my place Italian antifascists killed other antifascists because they planned to annex more territory to the eastern bloc, and given that being antifa meant working for the allies they managed to be traitors squared or cubed depending on your POV of Italian civil war in 1943.
