Just so odd how they went about the whole thing. Such an uncalculated way to do things.
Why not wait until you have all your explanations in order backed by lawyers before doing the release? Why did they shit on the carpet first and then explained their reasons afterwards after lots of horrible attempts at justifications that completely missed the point.
Excluding developers because of arbitrary sections issued by the most war mongering country in at least the last 10,000 years is not non-controversial, as it turns out.
Funny fucking thing to say considering why Russia is under sanction.
This isn’t a real comment, is it?
Anyway, the Linux kernel team are not about to fight the US government, particularly not to defend Russia. If you’re so concerned about warmongering then leave Russia. Solves all the problems here. You don’t gotta go to the US, even.
Yah ok the US is the most wealthy most powerful country in the world and they are not a serious country. Maybe the rest of the world should stop relying on America for everything. I really hope this starts tech sectors in other countries but somehow I don’t think it well. Besides China who is still reliant on American companies.
other countries rely on the US because the US uses military intervention and economic sanctions to ensure everyone has to rely on them. this is not difficult to understand
I’m sorry, even if you go back to the original Russian empire, no entity or arbitrary collection of entities containing a “Russia” has invaded more countries or killed more civilians than the US.
That’s the plain fact of the matter. Invading more than 70 countries does that.
That’s Linus for you. He’s extremely misanthropic. This isn’t his first PR fuck up. Except this time his abrasiveness triggered an international incident.
After Linus’ statement, I can’t be sure any more that Linux is free of NSA code… Sad times…
Dude, it’s common knowledge that NSA has contributed significant portions of (security related) code to the kernel. No tin foil hat required.
They also tried to put weak encryption in the kernel once.
I’m convinced that they did it under the radar.
Well it’s open source so you can check.
You mean like SELinux or other existing contributions to the linux kernel?

It’s blatantly obvious and non-controversial what they’re doing. That’s why.

The US sanctions anyone that isn’t under their complete control, it’s not a serious country.
And I’m truly sorry you’re too much of a brainwashed nationalist to understand why free software shouldn’t be affected by petty politics.

China is divesting as quickly as possible from the US as they’ve overtaken the use in GDP

Jackass says most war mongering ignoring the actual country invading another.
Typical.

Russia bad, the US is and will always be worse.
Jackass forgets that the US invaded and occupied another country for most of the 21st century.
Typical.
