Developer nukes JS library to protest corporate use without compensation

[39.948]

An open-source developer has intentionally fried two widely used javascript libraries. The commits to faker.js and colors.js caused programs using them to get stuck in an infinite loop. Developers using faker should switch back to the last valid version (5.5.3). GitHub has suspended Marak Squires from GitHub, removing his access to the two affected libraries, as well as the hundreds of other public and private projects he has uploaded. Squires's reasoning for sabotaging the libraries is unclear. Some suggest that because of the "liberty" theme and a seemingly sarcastic GitHub issue report, Squires may be trying to grab attention.
