The title really undersells it, it seems like under a Biden Executive Order, free/open-source software will have to ban all Russian contributions. Its unclear if American developers would be allowed to contribute to Russian software like Nginx

One of my friends is a trans Buryat, she does FOSS development, can’t leave Russia because she has no money and nowhere to go. There are many similar cases

Most people don’t want to die, or risk their lives. There’s not something unique to autocratic countries. Just like Americans aren’t responsible for bombing innocent families in the middle east, random russians aren’t responsible for a government they didn’t even vote for.
If anything people living in a dictatorship are even less responsible. At least in democracies the people have a theoretical say in things to a certain extent. Not only does the public not have a say in a dictatorship, but they often don’t even have the option to leave it. E.G. China confiscating their citizens passports to prevent them from fleeing the country.
Neither Russia nor China are dictatorships, and the US also confiscates passports.
Lord knows what media you people have hooked yourselves up to.

Americans haven’t risen up to stop its government’s ceaseless destruction around the world. The majority of them must support it.
