    Yeah it’s cutting off the nose to spite the face. Stupid move by the kernel admins. If you’re gonna start banning people from contributitg because of shut their government does, then the entire US and Israeli population of Linux devs should be dropped.

      The cold war is reborn and this time it’s warmer. Do people not understand that before 30 years ago no communication occured with countries behind the iron curtain. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine put us on a path back to those kind of relations.

        The new cold war started long before Russia invaded. Google Victoria Newlands involvement in the maidan coup that triggered it

        Naw fam this is just stupid. We need global collaboration that’s what open source is all about.

          Stupid or not, it is the state of the world. It’s not down to Linus to do anything but live and work within the situation constructed by the governments of nation states.
