clearly on line with CERN also getting rid of russians.
Sad to see we learned nothing from hundreds of years of wars and occupations. Glad someone mentioned Poland and India. Millions killed by USA joining every war to just sell weapons to both sides of conflict - will be funny too when many people stop dreaming and see this is the truth.
Edit: of course I’m waiting for all this flagging and downvotes, because I’ve spoken badly about The Greatest Nation Ever.
What is new is hackers speaking in favor of nationalist boundaries, after having spent the 90s in opposition to things like cryptographic export controls.
They could've handled it MUCH better, most people understand that the removal by itself is understandable (properly navigating the current regime of sanctions is extremely hard and it's better for an US-based organization to be conservative, doubly so with people from the directly sanctioned companies like Baikal Electronics), but lack of transparency, sneakiness, and the extremely aggressive, unnecessary and dehumanizing remarks from Linus just the situation from unfortunate bad to extreme worse.

Linus being Linus. I thought he had gotten some comms training but it’s hard to change when you’ve spent most of your career communicating very directly.

The shark has been jumped.
No he is not.

Historical?
Ah, I got it. That would be bad if this was his main argument, but it is not.
> he is demonizing people based on their country of origin
Quote?
Without russia/China we're doomed? Is it the same for these two countries too if the west moves away from them?
And where exactly is Linus this evil strawman you created?

"Strawman"? Sure...

I highly doubt anyone would be surprised that people would not stop contributing if they agree with their country's interest in which said countries has questionable interests juxtaposition to USA's - which is where Linux is based.
If anything they would be surprised if they continue to contribute despite their country's geopolitical dumbfuckery and good for them, they got my support all the way.

First just going to state: Linus/Greg issue of lack of transparency is not something I've said that I'm neither agree/disagree with.
But nothing in this blogpost does very much of anything in showing some new revelation of Linus being a person who "dehumanizes" unless the phrase:
> I'm also not going to start discussing legal issues with random
> internet people who I seriously suspect are paid actors and/or have
> been ----->_riled up by them_<-----.
is somehow now synonymous with dehumanization.
But maybe I'm missing something, if so you're more than welcome to highlight where Linus has done something "dehumanizing".
1) it applies pressure on that government and
2) ensures that we don’t indirectly support its crimes.
However, sanctioning an entire population — citizens who are already suffering under a leader who disregards their wellbeing — achieves little and seems more like an act of revenge than a strategic measure.
I think hamas has achieved in practice something the Christians can only claim in faith - transmogrification.
a hamas soldier transmogrifies into an innocent civilian upon death.
even Sinwar would have been a UN teacher if his body hadn't been identifiable - he even carried a stolen UN teacher's passport.
> No one in the West wants to do volunteer work any more because it pays a lot more to work at Evil Corp and wave some flags around during the appropriate month.
I thought most of the kernel "volunteers" were actually working for some "Evil Corp" or another that was paying them to "volunteer" in some way related to the company's business.
This post is about an engineer in the East, who apparently works for a company called Baikal Electronics.
"BAIKAL ELECTRONICS JSC is a Russian electronics company that manufactures semiconductors and computer processors. Baikal Electronics JSC produces computer processors for the Russian military."

Do you somehow think these companies in the East are less Evil than Silicon Valley companies?
I was talking about the type of human who is shown in this commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X55JPbAMc9g
We need to be very clear that they are human, and not a reptile wearing human skin and using human words to get to eat human babies.
