Huh, that one time CoC might be useful, and he decides to bring national gripe in and call everyone who disagrees with him a troll.

The lawyers brought the issue. He explained the issue ably to the public at large. I'm not in favor of fake niceness.

Sure, you’re paid trolls and I’m Finnish so Russians can fuck off in the first place is “explaining the issue ably to the public”.

However, this is less deranged than many of his frankly embarrassing public rants on other people’s code he didn’t like, I’ll give him that. Maybe that “ably” is relative.

People are going to troll you for saying that, but there's a lot of people who silently agree. Anyway, good on you, same here.

Good that you are complying with the sanctions?

What's BSD's stance on such or similar situations?

I'm looking for an OS, Linux is not just a kernel anymore it seems, for this and other reasons, hint, Linux Foundation and their cooperate lords.

Linux-Libre will still be open to your contribs unlike these phony nonfree kernels called Linux.

Nearly 1 million Russians left Russia because they didn't want to end as ghouls in an imperial war, that's demonizing AND killing people because of their home nation.

I just put your "demonizing people because of their home nation" into perspective, dude. Staying in russia as a kernel maintainer and playing the political ignorant is just lost.

Didn't you just complain about Linus being rude?

Your brain is scrambled.

> So Linus exposed his Russophoby

Is it irrational to not accept the work of individuals who work for sanctioned orgs, in a country which claims to have no borders, and threatens to attack the West with nuclear weapons every couple months?

> Sometimes you need a hit in the head to understand the reality.

Please expand on exactly what you mean by this.

anthk 10/24/2024||
Yet you have no issues doing business with Saudi Arabia where they had ties with international Islamic terrorism...

Or China, Venezuela (both left and right parties, at least from Spain)...

End the stage performance, please. We all know it's all about money and power.

consumer451 10/24/2024||
You have made a lot of assumptions my friend. I personally have issues with all authoritarian countries, including the ones you mentioned.

> End the stage performance, please. We all know it's all about money and power.

You are ridiculously incorrect. For me, it is about freedom, democracy, and the right to continue breathing. I currently live a few hundred km from the war in Europe. Russian state media threatens to invade my country of residence every month or so.

Every time I go to the grocery store, I see Ukrainian refugee mothers and their children trying to survive. It is real here, not some theoretical far-away thing that my edgelord friends and I get to pontificate about online.

Wikipedia isn't propaganda.
consumer451 10/24/2024||
Can you please be a little more specific, like a specific Wikipedia entry or two?

Right, being against Putin is being Russophobes now

You're saying that everyone who has e-mail ending in “@yahoo.com” works at Yahoo. The rest of the post shows the same level of understanding of the world us.

Obviously you haven't thought that blocking participants for reasons you've mentioned should start with Linus Torvalds, currently a US citizen. Maybe later he can present some papers or something to guarantee that he's not involved...

ffsm8 10/24/2024||
No, neither the person you're responding to nor Linus torwald said or implied that.

the reason for the removal was not that they had an email address on a public and free email provider that coincidentally had a Russian tld.
