    there is simply no meaningful response to this

    no matter whether you think russia is justified in invading ukraine or not, if russians get banned from the kernel bc russia invaded ukraine, yankees have to get the boot as well

      You should read the article because this is not a thing that has occurred, at least not yet.

        my understanding was that the kernel didn’t publicly state any specific reason, but “complying to sanctions” semms like a safe bet to me

        in any case, whatever the reason, this removal is unfortunate and uncalled for

          @bunitor That would be my take. My take is that as individuals we are were international cooperation needs to begin, it isn’t going to happen with our governments, at least it never has historically.

            We had international cooperation but the world is splintering now. Might be some security concerns but also think some of it is America protecting its companies from China companies.
