I'd agree typically but paywalling open source government software just to talk about it is wild behavior.

how is the software being paywalled here?

[joshmanders]

They're talking about it but to actually see the thing they're talking about you have to pay before the part of the article that links to it is clickable

or you can just google it? it's not like the source code is exclusively held by 404media and you must pay them to view it, or something. would you have the same opinion if e.g. the article was the same but just didn't link to the repo?
