    It never stopped. Most people still think Russia's communist. Or any country that calls themselves as such.

  • A healthy global FOSS culture requires collaborative politics to be the flavour of the day

    Bullshit. There's no reason people with political differences can't collaborate on the same project, unless those differences are really huge.

  • "Compliance requirements"? The kernel's american now?! WTF?

    The commonality of all these maintainers being dropped? They appear to all be Russian or associated with Russia. Most of them with .ru email addresses.

    Not short-sighted in the least...

    Similarly, the driver code remains within the kernel -- including for Russian hardware such as around the Baikal CPUs from Russia's Baikal Electronics.

    Not a hypocrite move at all...

    Are israeli developers blocked as well? How about all american developers considering how the US foreign policy keeps fucking everyone up all over the place in the name of liberty and freedom... of oil?

  • Surprised Pikachu face...

    IS-33e was the second satellite to be launched as part of Boeing's "next generation" EpicNG platform. The first, dubbed IS-29e, failed due to a propulsion system fuel leak.

    I see a pattern.

  • Dumbass clickbait:

    Twitch addressed the controversy earlier today (October 21, 2024), stating that they "temporarily disabled signups with email verification" in Israel and Palestine following the incident that occurred on October 7, 2023.

    emphasis mine.
