    Linus Torvalds Confirms Decision to Remove Maintainers from Russia

    You couldn’t come up with a more powerful spit in the direction of FOSS. And from Linus, who is now kind of showing f*ck to the entire community. Here you have freedom, openness and all that. Today they just wiped their ass with it, and by one of the founders.

    This is the moment when the split politics, dirty ones from all sides, have penetrated into the very heart of OpenSource - into the Linux kernel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_YozYt8l-g

      Uhh sir Linus, this is a Wendy’s Linux kernel.

      .

      Why force your political beliefs on something that has nothing to do with?

        Not sure if being against Russian aggression can be called a “political belief” as nearly all Finns pretty much agree on it.

            What else would you call it? Even if you buy one of the many bullshit rationalizations Russia has offered, invading a sovereign neighbor is absolutely aggression, if words still mean things.

                So, a US invasion of Cuba wouldn’t be aggressive? I guess words really don’t mean anything then. That’s some really pathetic whataboutism BTW.

                  @Tinidril It’s realistic is what it is. It’s not trying to paint Putin as some evil Hitler clone. It’s what happens when you don’t have a vested interest in the military industrial complex and aren’t a shill for someone who does.

                    The hundreds of thousands dead so-far will be glad to know that Putin is just being misunderstood and is actually a pretty nice guy. Who the fuck said anything about Hitler?
