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.

Back when the Russians were stuck with the "holier than thou leftism as a religion" outlook, our left got tons of semi-illegal support from the USSR, and then the Russians got based and don't social status signal their holier than thou marxist superiority, our american leftists are like angry jilted women lashing out at the (russian) man who dumped them.
So before the big dramatic breakup, the commies at CNN loved the commies at Pravda, but after the big breakup its all about hating the other side and anyone not in my corner is an agent of the other side plotting against me and all that stuff.
Just watch some womens soap opera dramas, especially some juicy breakup plots, and you get insight into our SJWs hating their former allies.
Fact of the matter is, between the jilted SJWs and the greedy military industrial complex, Russia got a bad rap for a long time. Now they're just some land empire on the other side of the planet, live and let live, etc.
