We aren’t talking about “all Russians”. What thread are you watching?
Of course you are. This thread is about people getting kicked off the maintainer list for simply being Russian and y’all are bleating “good, fuck Russia”.
Yes. I am saying that the Russian people who were maintaining anything in the Linux kernel commits have a very real threat of not only being compromised to do ill, but also have their identity on the commit chain being taken over by state actors.
What in the hell are you arguing for here?
lmao what a load of crap.
But anyways thanks for contradicting yourself.
If I’m saying this, and the founders and mainters of the Linux Kernel agree, it really seems like I’m not wrong here.
Might be time reevaluate some stuff.
Linus is just following the law, the law != doing the right thing.
There’s a law for Open Source projects with no country governance? Holy shit. News to me.
Lmfao, what law is being followed here? Come on.
What? He is doing what the lawyers is saying to do, the quote:
"No, but I’m not a lawyer, so I’m not going to go into the details that I - and other maintainers - were told by lawyers.
He is following the sanctions.
He is being pretty vague there. It could be any number of things in the orbit of anti-russia pressuring. That could include the feds pressuring legally, but it could also be many other less direct things or even a personal political decision.
They are being cagey.
If I’m saying this, and the founders and mainters of the Linux Kernel agree, it really seems like I’m not wrong here.
Believe or not both you and Linus Torvalds can be wrong. Shocking, I know. I don’t know how you’ll break the news to your loved ones.
Might be time reevaluate some stuff.
Yes, like you contradicting your entire previous comment and then continuing on like nothing happened.
