    Yes, and if Russia is solely defined by the war in Ukraine to you, you don’t even understand how their government works. It’s pure jingoism. Are these people who decided they are Linux superfans the day that Russian maintainers were kicked out so comfortable with the idea that only Western governments should invest in open source technologies? This kind of thing should become a public utility.

        We discussed that “expectation” already, and how hopes of diplomacy with Ukraine evaporated officially with Boris Johnson’s visit. Of course, behind the scenes it was already hopeless since 2014. They just took time to prepare for sanctions.

        Rather than discussing the prospect of the development of Linux as a public utility by a diverse array of nations and groups, you show up to cheerlead for western tech monopolies and the intellectual apparatus. You jeer. You hoot. You’ve got your burger in hand.
