Biden’s Executive Order 14071, forbids Russians from working with or using GPL’d software made in the USA. And that includes the Linux Kernel.

      Hahaha fucking Linus is a legend.

      Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

      It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to “grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change anything.

      And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.

      If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

      As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be *supporting* Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too."

    This is not because of an executive order from Biden. This is because of the murderous war perpetrated by the criminal Putin.

    If the whole Linux project died out, it wouldn’t be on the top 10,000 important things that have been destroyed by Russia.

      If hes not on a paylist for state sponsored propaganda he should be. That was insufferable reporting on the level Id expect from fox news.

      Putting aside personal feelings about this move- considering the current situation in Russia… this move may well actually protect some developers lives. There are people taking long walks off of short balconies because they didn’t kiss the ring. If I was a developer in that country I’d personally be pretty stoked I was off the short list.

      I knew that anything from Lunduke wouldn’t be well received from ultra-left lemmy before I even opened this comments section.

      You’re comment would have won me a swig in a game of “drink every time lemmy does XYZ”, assuming I were degenerate enough to imbibe alcohol.

        yeah it’s great to be in a community that has little tolerance for basic tossers
