This shows that Linux is/ will become just as bad as Windows or some other proprietary software. Linus really needs to step down. Open Source exists so it can be available to everyone, regardless to anything let alone silly politics. Linus is clearly a very xenophobic man (evident by his posts) and has no place to decide anymore.

I guess in the sense that Poland also borders Russia via Kaliningrad, and wasn't part of the USSR.
I’m aware of Konigsberg/Kaliningrad. Was Poland occupied by Soviet troops for 49 years after WW II? Yes. Was Finland occupied (at all) by Soviet troops after WW II? No. Poland was a de facto SSR, Finland was not.
Oh I understand and agree.

#233just the tip of the iceberg. if you think about it, maybe the kernel that runs everything in the world shouldn't be controlled by a single edgy dude.

#234A complete betrayal of the spirit of open source and the Internet. It's sad that we are living in a world like this. People just pour hate and bias to others and disguise it with some high-sounding excuses. The bright future which envisioned by people in the 2000s will never come and we humanity will fxxk up eventually.

No Those very specific countries were run by murderous autocrats attacking their own people to maintain their unjust and injustifiable rule.
Don't you think there's a chance that that narrative of "murderous autocrats" was manufactured post hoc to rationalize NATO's aggression? Otherwise it's a mighty coincidence that the West only "intervenes" in places that are simultaneously relevant to Western geopolitical-economic interests and just happen to have a "murderous autocrat" begging to be toppled. So convenient that the bloc which dominates the global med…
Let's pick one. Milosovic. Would you like to take a stab at defending him or shall I speak for the prosecution first?

#236If this was purely because of sanctions, this could have been handled much more gracefully. But it's clear from Linus' comments that he just doesn't respect these volunteers because they happen to be from a particular country. > I'm Finnish. ... Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too. If we're suddenly taking history as a criterion, half of the world should ban British develope…
Russia invaded it’s neighbor. These sanctions are one of the consequences. It sucks for the good-faith programmers in Russia but what would you have the rest of the world do? The Russian state must be sanctioned for its blatant disregard for international norms. Please don’t just respond with whataboutism. The whataboutism in these threads involves different people in different times. This is happening now.
Israel has invaded its neighbour. U.S. invaded lots of nations and still bombs multiple nations continually. But no consequences for the same. Whataboutism is necessary since the NATO/Western block juggernaut always raps others on the knuckles but always gets away scot-free when it concerns their own military actions. The sanctimonious hypocrisy is utterly sickening to those in the East and South.

#237Toivo Tuomas Savolainen - does this rings a bell?
WWII in Soumi is called "Continuation war" - does this rings a bell?

#238Earlier quoted context omitted.
When the word "whataboutism" is used, you know it's the one rejection of a valid argument or analogy that helps clarify the argument. The ones that can't deal with that coined the therm "whataboutism".
Whataboutism isn't an argument, it's a deflection.
No, its called applying the same argument and same standard to both parties. Your "Laws" are equally applied or not at all.

#239Just swallow a chill pill and move on. I hate to say it but writing a blog is not going to help much.
That's the Spirit!
