I’m sorry, even if you go back to the original Russian empire, no entity or arbitrary collection of entities containing a “Russia” has invaded more countries or killed more civilians than the US.

That’s the plain fact of the matter. Invading more than 70 countries does that.

Russia bad, the US is and will always be worse.

Yes, if enough principaled contributors leave, it’ll no longer make sense for companies to pay for people to contribute.

China is divesting as quickly as possible from the US as they’ve overtaken the use in GDP

The US sanctions anyone that isn’t under their complete control, it’s not a serious country.

And I’m truly sorry you’re too much of a brainwashed nationalist to understand why free software shouldn’t be affected by petty politics.

It’s better in the long term, free software and the political philosophy behind it is entirely incompatible with American political ideology or geopolitics generally. If everyone can contribute, everyone can benefit. When you start limiting this by arbitrary nonsensical reasoning due to legal obligations you only have because the founder of the foundation has a boner for an idealized America that never existed… Shit gets worse. From this many developers are going to permanently leave Linux development and a few may get petty enough to change their license to prevent use in Linux.

Nope, a decent amount are Chinese. Or European. American companies of course do fund foss so they don’t have to develop much themselves, but it’s certainly not most.

Nope, it’s not.

Excluding developers because of arbitrary sections issued by the most war mongering country in at least the last 10,000 years is not non-controversial, as it turns out.

Either the death of the Linux Foundation or the exclusion of the Linux foundation from kernel development for at least a few versions. In any case Linus likely used the last of his goodwill in proving he’s more American than any other descriptor.

It’s really not, a smaller project? Maybe. A project with tens of thousands of eyes on it at all times? Not so much.

I remember a time when those were one in the same.

Treating all members of a nation as that nation is dangerous and stupid. According to that standard you’re a racist, sexist, genocidal fascist who just kills anyone that doesn’t let you exploit them, assuming you’re American.

As someone that’s extensively played the entire burnout series; git gud scrub. You can avoid all ramming attempts by being a better driver.

Good for you, these people, like yourself, have nothing to do with the Russian state, assuming so because of their race and nationality is racist.

Thanks for playing, conservative.

I don’t give a shit about the Russian state. I’m not a tankie, I don’t care about random petty disputes between empires and whoever pissed them off. Let the unrelated people collaborate on the things that represent the end of such empires in peace.
