But Linus said he was never approached by the US for a backdoor. He was so sure of it, lol.
He is not the type of developer who would allow it
But he is the type to ban Russian contributors less than a month after DoD signed a new contract with RH. Can you guess what stocks he owns?
He's from Finland so somehow I don't think he is going to shed a tear over some Russians.
The current actions of Russia are concerning. I think the move to remove Russians is not all that controversial.
I can also understand it as a temporatory solution. I understand that Linus wouldn't want to see his product used by russians commiting war crimes. They can still contribute to linux apps, only the kernel is prohibited. But i think if the situation gets better, russians should be allowed to contribute again. But i got much more upset on that people call Mozilla woke for its moderation efforts to combat hate speech aimed on marginalized groups. War criminals and the far-right has no place in any open-source community, as the concept itself is closer to the left wing by nature. I might be a bit unpopular with this, these are controversial stuff
True. Recently read that Finland, during the time they were alloed with the Nazis, created concentration camps to hold Russians.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Karelian_concentration_camps
Was that before or after Russia allied with the Nazis to kill the Polish?
The Poland that invaded and captured Czechoslovakia along with the Nazis?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_Agreement
The USSR's non-aggression treaty that put their own safety first over Poland came only after Poland wnd other Western powers(England, France etc) sided with the Nazis, right?
