There will always be something to pick at, and with the number of trolls on here to inflame and manipulate any legitimate concerns, i highly suspect the troll farms and related pawns would find something to bitch about.
The fact is, not everyone has the EQ to state the issue perfectly clearly in terms everyone can accept.
“No, do you really expect me to look past what Russia is doing? Absolutely fucking no,” is basically reasonable.
We have to face is Linus might be good intentionned but his years on the internet have made him an remorseless abrasive juvenile dickhead. I wish he’d lampshade it because most of the tine he comes off as just a nasty arogant goblin. It’s clear he feels permitted for his accomplishment and hard work to take his frustrations on others and it’s clear he knows it’s really not fucking helping but it seems he simply can’t help himself. Like being nice is a sign of weakness.
No, I also found the way he handled it really distasteful. Even before his response, just generally the way the whole thing was attempted under a veil wasn’t great. The actions taken should have been transparent from the start.
I do agree that it shouldn’t be polluting this thread like this though.
Hey, all of those people knew in advance what will happen. I know people who are working for companies under sanctions, that were contributing to kernel before the war, and all of them knew that at some point they might be banned from that, and they still aren’t, their contributions just aren’t merged without review.
The Russian sympathisers trying to spin it as their sudden act of russophobia out of the blue, but it’s absolutely everything but. When you work for Putin and his war, you shouldn’t be surprised that people don’t trust you implicitly.
What is the point of this comment? Linus was childish as hell in the email chain and started a bunch of drama for literally no reason. I’m not mad as much as I am embarrassed to be a part of the Linux community when things like this happen.
People are more mad about how he did it rather than just the action he took. If he just explained why without being a prick nobody would care.

So you’re fine with other oss projects kicking out Americans for their multiple genocides, right?
“Without being a prick” Dawg being a prick is his primary way communication, power to him

He’s practically always been like this. If anything he’s notably softened with age.
Lemmy.ml accounts mad a f.
