  • This is absurd. Are you being serious? I'm aware how sanctions are setup in the US because I'm compelled to complete hr training on them every 8 months even though I have no interaction with anyone that would overlap with sanctions requirements. That doesn't make it any less absurd. It's also not on me to somehow categorically disprove the link between Linux contributions and military work, the onus there is and as it always should be is on the entity demanding you do something in response to it. But OK, let's say all the work on Linux coming from anyone who happens to live in or have a Russian nationality somehow goes back to the war effort. Ban work on Russian firmware or Linux compatibility with Russian hardware. Don't ban Russian people unilaterally and with force using flimsy hypothetical justifications and reductive arguments. I go back to ww1 and the role of scientists in war. They should abstain. Developers should abstains. We don't belong to the countries we live in, our work should exist for all mankind and to the betterment of society as a whole. If the US wants a trade embargo, or a corporate berlin wall I'm all for it. This is not that.

    Edit: Also, not really relevent, but I would be absolutely amazed if the Russian government is somehow on the bleeding edge of linux development and actively deploying head branch builds of linux with the latest available firmware. Most of the US government still runs on windows out of sheer apathy. If they are using these contributions in drones their almost certainly backporting to a stable linux release and that means this kinda ban if it follows you're reason isn't going to have an impact until a few releases down the line and that's easily bypassable by just not upgrading linux. Russian already presumably sanctioned to older hardware (excluding self manufactured) so that isn't even a hard choice.

  • I still maintain this is a pretty weak argument. And it does nothing to address the question of what do these devs contribute to instead because it's not likely their suddenly gonna become jobless and dependent on the state. These are highly skilled and motivated developers just based on what ive heard about getting contributions into the mainline kernel. I just hope they don't get recruited to write drone targetting systems because we've decided to ban them from contributing to a project everyone benefits from.

  • I don't really see how that relates. These are open source contributors to Linux, a global os everyone has access to. Their contributions would benefit everyone. If their employed by a Russian company paying them to contribute to Linux then the economic aspect might make sense but I see that as a pretty weak argument. Now those devs are more likely to be poached to work in industries that more directly contribute to the war. This is like ww1 and German scientists who were supposed to be impartial getting recruited into the war machine to create poison gas. We shouldn't be encouraging that or making it easier.

  • As someone unfamiliar with Japanese politics, why? Like if so many people are unsatisfied can't they vote for someone else? Or are the alternatives just as bad?

  • Because their an ad company and they don't like any threats to their revenue stream. Same logic as video game companies using DRM. Selling a worse product at a bigger expense to tell shareholders their compelling pirates to pay (even tho most pirates will just not play the game rather than suddenly start purchasing it).

  • I guess one can argue the lack of resources to prevent issues like this makes the state culpable as well. Although it's 100mil for a 3-4 billion sized expense is quite odd. I wonder if they picked the maximum amount that wouldn't bankrupt the owner.

  • For anyone else lucky enough to have never heard of this:

    In September 2024, Dominique Pélicot, a 71-year-old man from Mazan in south-eastern France, testified in court that he repeatedly drugged his wife, raped her, and invited strangers to rape her while she was unconscious.[1] Over a period of nine years, from July 2011 to October 2020, Gisèle Pélicot, who was unaware of the abuse being perpetrated against her, was raped 92 times by 72 men, as her husband filmed the abuse. The abuse came to light only in September 2020 when Dominique Pélicot was arrested for taking upskirt photographs of women in a supermarket, and police thereafter discovered thousands of images and videos that Pélicot had taken of the rapes and stored on his computing equipment. Pélicot is also accused of training Jean-Pierre Maréchal to drug and rape his own wife. The trial in Avignon of Dominique Pélicot and 50 other men accused of the rapes began on 2 September 2024, and is scheduled to conclude in mid-December.

  • If the choice is spend more to hold onto the byproducts or let the byproducts slowly make the entire earth uninhabitable I'm kinda in favour of the former. Ideally completely green energy would be preferred but I guess it just doesn't scale well with consumer demands and patterns :/.

  • One Piece Anime Announces Historic Hiatus

  • I think everyone collectively agrees hiatus > padded content. I stopped watching around whole cake island because episodes we're going a quarter chapter. I'm glad their finally starting to see this, I'm guessing the previous approach was starting to lose viewership or just not be as profitable as it used to be.

  • I think the common incest fantasy in the west isn't too far removed from this too. Like all the actors are above age minimums but they pretend to be step kids or babysitters like these roles aren't commonly associated with children and older teens. It's clearly a form of deflection IMO.
