Oh, yep I didn’t see that. Though definitely more eyes are on Linux than were on xz

It was known beforehand.

I live in Poland…
Also, disliking the Russian state is different from disliking Russian people
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.
This has nothing to do with xz
I agree, but people aren’t their government. Discriminating based on nationality is xenophobia.
What backlash do all Americans, all Palestinians, all Israelis, all Chinese, all French, and many more deserve?
Yes, and I said I want open-source to be open. As in not just open-source, but also open to all. That is my personal moral value, and I advocate for that. What the OSI supports has nothing to do with that.
Russian people aren’t the Russian state
.ml is full of tankies. Also, nothing in open-source principles say that to my knowledge. Am I not allowed to have beliefs not explicitly defined by the OSI?
I actually just emailed RMS about this and I’m genuinely curious what he says. If anyone else is interested, I’ll ask if he’s fine with me sharing some of the response.
How many of these Russian maintainers were in Ukraine?
I’ve contributed to open-source projects for years. My account name is my real name. I’m not a bot. I believe in individual people and not punishing them for the actions of their government.
This topic has nothing to do with being “pro-Russian” instead its being pro-individualist and pro-open source
Has the cruelty done by the US, France, Palestine(under Hamas), and Israel stopped?
