Yeah, being from Russia is a lot different from being associated with the Russian government.

Lies! You’re a communist! Russian troll!

You need that reddit.world or shitty.twerks URL to really sell the bit and make the tone indicator necessary IMHO

…and we don’t know whether they’re the former or the latter, no? So maybe a little early to get outraged?

Considering the US foreign policy and the impact it has on the world, regardless of whether the white house is R or D, i propose to ban all american devs… preemptively, ya know?

@0x0 @Vincent Yea well that makes about as much sense as banning the Russians, maybe we can stop development of Linux altogether. I’m sure Gatis of Borg would approve.

I don’t see what this has to do with my comment. I see no indication that all Russians are blanket-banned.

Honestly I wish that was a principle that the internet embraced more. We’re so trigger-happy to be outraged.

Would you say that Linux contributors with ties to MIT and other US universities that get funding from the same organizations of the MIC and intelligence racket are suspect? No? Yeah just Russians. Cold War propaganda chugging little twerp

No, I’m saying that if the banned people are only banned because they’re associated with the Russian government (/employed by sanctioned companies), then I’m not going to get outraged over the kernel maintainers. I do not expect them to break the law just to die on this hill.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
