    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.

        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

            Yes, something that wasn’t published to my knowledge until after a xenophobic rant

              It was known beforehand.

              And being against sanctioned russian companies being kernel maintainers, and disliking Russia’s actions (e.g. invasion, mass rape, genocide) isn’t xenophobic.

              Absolutely based from Torvalds. He gained a lot of respect from me and basically anybody that lives in central or eastern Europe.

                Source?

                I live in Poland…

                Also, disliking the Russian state is different from disliking Russian people

                  People were saying it in the comments before the recent press release even came out. Do you think they knew it by magic?

                  Good thing Linus was never talking about Russian people in general then, isn’t it?

                  Completely reasonable for Linus not to like such an aggressive, genocidal shithole of a country. And it’s also fair to not give sanctioned Russian companies a deep level of access to his kernel.

                  And btw, for being Polish it seems weird that you constantly post in US politics communities and never in any polish ones.

                    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.

        Individual people are not, no. Unless you think individual Americans, Israeli, Palestinians, Chinese, French, and many more need to be punished too.
