Would you say that Linux contributors with ties to MIT and other US universities that get funding from the same organizations of the MIC and
intelligence racket are suspect? No? Yeah just Russians. Cold War propaganda chugging little twerp
No, I’m saying that if the banned people are only banned because they’re associated with the Russian government (/employed by sanctioned companies), then I’m not going to get outraged over the kernel maintainers. I do not expect them to break the law just to die on this hill.
Oh geez, this the third reply by the same account… Again, I’m just saying that we don’t know whether the contributors were assumed guilty, or if they have actual ties to sanctioned companies.
Considering the US foreign policy and the impact it has on the world, regardless of whether the white house is R or D, i propose to ban all american devs… preemptively, ya know?
You are casually declaring all Russians should be assumed to be state agents until proven otherwise, and therefore the negative reaction to this obvious betrayal of principles, not even for convenience but for hatred, is unjustified.
@0x0@Vincent Yea well that makes about as much sense as banning the Russians, maybe we can stop development of Linux altogether. I’m sure Gatis of Borg would approve.
…and we don’t know whether they’re the former or the latter, no? So maybe a little early to get outraged?

Benefit of the Doubt…
Honestly I wish that was a principle that the internet embraced more. We’re so trigger-happy to be outraged.
No the contributors should not be considered guilty until proven innocent just to give Linus et al the benefit of the doubt fuckface!

Inexplicably based
I don’t see what this has to do with my comment. I see no indication that all Russians are blanket-banned.
