None of those say it is good. I disagree with him, he also disagrees with him and apologized for saying that. But that is very different from saying its good. I don’t think alcohol is good, I also don’t think it should be illegal.

This was reported, I’m not sure its rule breaking, but its weirdly aggressive.
This got reported, but its a joke, I think people just didn’t get it- including me. Because its a weird joke.
Do you have a source for that?
People were saying it in the comments before the recent press release even came out. Do you think they knew it by magic?
They saw people were banned to comply with the law and it was a list of just Russians. Huawei is a sanctioned company and none of their employees were banned.
Good thing Linus was never talking about Russian people in general then, isn’t it?
But he was talking about the specific people implying that they were supporting the Russian aggression, which to my knowledge they weren’t. The removal also said it can be reversed with “sufficient documentation” without any clarification on what that is. There were and are many opportunities to say “these people were removed because they worked for sanctioned companies” but that was not said.
And btw, for being Polish it seems weird that you constantly post in US politics communities and never in any polish ones.
To my knowledge there are no Polish communities on here. I do comment and post on r/Poland on Reddit.
He never said that. I agree he was more skeptical than I’d like, but he eventually was informed and apologized.
If the cruelty had stopped, I would agree revenge is inappropriate.
Has the cruelty done by the US, France, Palestine(under Hamas), and Israel stopped?
Oh, yep I didn’t see that. Though definitely more eyes are on Linux than were on xz
It was known beforehand.
Source?
I live in Poland…
Also, disliking the Russian state is different from disliking Russian people
And you know this because it has been made clear throughout this thread,
As I said, everyone is basing this on one post on Mastadon, I have no clue where that person got that information, if he is trustworthy, if he speaks for the LF/Kernel team, or what.
Russians are not the Russian state, I’m well aware of what Russian(and don’t forget other Eastern Bloc militaries did at the time). My relatives were arrested for protesting in the Prague Spring. Actually, one of those relatives runs an organization for political prisoners. This kind of reciprocal cruelty will just make it more common. Just look at the Yugoslav wars, or the eastern front in WW2 if you don’t believe me. Or every war that’s happened in the middle east or south east asia for the past 50 years. Actually a lot of soviet oppression of the western republics (Ukraine, Causes, etc) was justified based on the cruelties nationalists did from those countries while fighting on the side of the Germans in WW2. This nationalist/xenophobic “revenge” on civilians is evil. (And rests on the same premise as was used to justify 9/11, collective guilt)
Yes, something that wasn’t published to my knowledge until after a xenophobic rant
What did I miss?
Nothing was or to my knowledge has yet been indicated that it is only sanctioned companies, or if it is to comply with the sanctioning of all of Russia, other than one post on Mastadon
Don’t know, but if they want to avoid that backlash there’s literally 1 person they can remove to fix it.
Good idea, I expect you hold the same standard for all Americans, French, Israelis, Chinese, and Palestinians too
Or let me guess, Germans in 1945 didn’t deserve the cruelty they got from the red army either?
You’re right, they didn’t. Shockingly, being cruel to civilians and conscripts isn’t cool. If “lashing out against oppressors” is okay then I’m sure you supported what happened in Rwanda? What about the Khmer Rouge killing foreigners?
I heard Russia is full of Nazis, and if that level of hearsay is fine for staging a multi year invasion and destroying a thousand years of history it’s just FINE for segregating bad-actors and persona non grata.
Linux maintainers aren’t invading Ukraine
Limiting the freedoms of innocent people who happen to live in a country doesn’t protect the rights of others.
No, this is on Linus and the Linux Foundation
This has nothing to do with xz
Yep I knew that, no clue why I wrote that, sometimes I should probably proofread.
But again, employees of non-Russian sanctioned companies were not removed.
I am not, it was genuine slip of the finger? Idk, but if you check my profile there are plenty of examples where I omitted or said the wrong word, I really should proof read more rather- though that would ruin the fun. Stop assuming malice when someone has a different opinion from you and makes a mistake.
There is still oversight, plenty of people read every merged commit.
I’ve never seen anything to support this.
Invaded yes, genocide I have no clue what really is happening in Ukraine, but I would say it doesn’t look like a genocide. War is bad, killing is bad, but genocide is a specific thing, and this feels a lot like just adding a word to make it sound more bad. The invasion is bad enough.
