Quietly merged into this week's Linux 6.12-rc4 kernel was a patch that removes a number of kernel maintainers from being noted in the official MAINTAINERS file that recognizes all of the driver and subsystem maintainers.www.phoronix.com
Being Russian => banned from doing business with the rest of the world
That's pretty straight forward to me.
I have seen pictures of Linus Torvads so I feel that I am uniquely qualified to explain whats going on. Let me break it down for you.
The Linux Kernel is meeting compliance requirements by removing Russian maintainers.
Thank you all and have a good night.
only.
Absolutely fair point. I agree with you on this portion of your comment.
Okay then, so describe the 2 sides and the punishments they deserved during the Nazi Germany invasion of Poland/Europe and the holocaust. I hate to bring Nazis into it as an argument, but you did say "ALL" and it easily shows how ridiculous that take is.
@theunknownmuncher Suggest you research the German economy at the time, who was controlling it, the relationship between Ashkanazi's and Jews and Germany for starters. Without understanding those complexities there is no way to understand that whole situation. Look into the history of the Rothchilds as it relates to all of this. This video at least provides some background: bitchute.com/video/1gWU5DaITVh…
Note: I mis-wrote Russian when I meant to say German. That said my original statement that all conflicts involve two parties doesn't dismiss the occasional psychopath as being one of those parties.
Nazi germany came into being a thing because post great war was massively hard on germans in large part to the treaty of versailles completely crippling germany's economy.
ofc there were other factors like the massive propaganda machine, Germany was effectively reduced to a slave state dealt a massive blow to the pride of the german populace which was fairly easy to turn young men militant alone, even disregarding the disastrous effects to the German economy.
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
YUP
so... maybe nobody should be banned and it sucks that this happened?
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
I'm sure removing these maintainers would be of great help to the Ukrainian war effort...
More seriously: We need to help Ukraine more. But this doesn't do that. It just hurts a bunch of people (both the maintainers, and the people using their code) for no benefit whatsoever.
100% agree with you! Like I said, I don't think we can hold all Russian people directly responsible for the actions of their government.
I wish for an ideal world where politics could stay out of Linux, but this is extremely tricky and cannot be treated black and white. Labeling things as "political" and then crying to keep "politics" out of things is often used as a weapon for exclusion, for example by sexuality or race, and I think exclusion should be anathema for Linux and open source projects.
I think the general idea is to create as much drain on Russia as possible. Limit there ability to import and export good while creating brain drain and terrible moral.
How many Russians have defected at this point? Spoiler is a decent amount.
How's that working you for y'all there?
oh and spoiler, welcome to the real world opendemocracy.net/en/odr/russi…
Why Russians who fled war are returning to Russia
Ksenia Babich (openDemocracy)Russia literally invaded everyone around them. Look at all the former USSR counties.
The US has been involved in a lot of places but that's not a justification for Russia attacking there neighborhood.
"propaganda"? Oh. You mean like Russia started a full blown unprovoked war with a peaceful nation? That "propaganda"?
Sucks others got caught in the crosshairs, but that's just what happens when your authoritarian government launches unprovoked wars and gets sanctioned.

Thomas FaziNATO will continue expanding as more and more border countries don't want to deal with limp dick Putin. Russia will be broken up to small territories and anything that remains of the federation will be scrapped and sold for salvage to finance rebuilding what has been lost.
Ta-ta!
That is what the US has wanted for the last 25 years, but it’s unlikely to happen. The Global North has very significantly de-industrialized itself, and its attempts at sanctions not only haven’t worked, but are having the effect of it isolating itself from the global majority. Russia has aligned with the Global South. Hence BRICS+ and the larger developing multipolar bloc that’s going its own way, ignoring the US’ “rules-based international order” sanctions, developing its own international balance of payments outside of US dollar hegemony, and working to get out from under the boot of the IMF’s & World Bank’s debt traps.
The neocolonial plunderers already tried that, and they even got away with under Yeltsin, but then Putin kicked them out, which is why they’re especially butthurt about him.

Also congrats on getting Finland to finally join nato btw.
@theunknownmuncher @Samueru Like Russia placing nukes in Cuba guaranteed we wouldn't invade it?
The thing about not being willing to learn from history is that you are then destined to repeat the same mistakes.
It goes much further back, and it involves a lot more Ukrainian fascism than people realize. History of Fascism in Ukraine: Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV

Ukraine, and Europe in general, didn’t maintain this post-WWII fascism all on their own, though: The US. bears significant responsibility. The U.S. Did Not Defeat Fascism in WWII, It Discretely Internationalized It

Or that's what this would be on Lemmy.ml. They are all tankies and they get mad when you point out terrible things like facts.
So many people forget that the Ukrainian Russian conflict never really ended, the idea that it was an unprovoked invasion is absurd, (and no, before someone decides to make a braindead comment, provoked does not mean justified.) There have been many leaked videos pre-invasion of violence towards both sides, and neither side made a proper effort to actually quell it, only surface level bullshit inorder to take the "moral ground:

lemmy.mlYou see the Russians are the real Nazis, not the Banderites who attacked Eastern Ukrainians for the decade before this war started.
They’re not dumb; usually it’s that they live in the bubble of Western propaganda, while simultaneously believing that they haven’t been propagandized their whole lives.
People not only don't know what's happening to them, they don't even know that they don't know. — Noam Chomsky
And really, who even has the time and energy to know? It’s actually a lot of work, and we live under neoliberalism, where most of us are just trying to keep our heads above water. Plus, there’s no social or financial upside to bucking the hegemonic viewpoint.
