Do share.

Allowing contributions from individuals tied to a state engaging in war crimes sends the wrong message.

So... letting Israeli maintainers still be on the maintainers list is a great message, got it 👍.

...just as Russians like yourself should not dismiss your government's role in the atrocities being committed in Ukraine.

Ah, yes, you're troubled by this drama, so you must be Russian 😉 👍.

You could use a knife to kill someone as well... hell, an umbrella as well.

because the santion load is just going to increase and more countries will be included.

Not to mention more stupid shit, like not being able to visit the US if your wife is Russian, cuz.. you know, you might be a spy.

If they are just doing this because of a political fad and partaking "the current thing" then they are just voluntarily digging their own and the linux foundation's grave.

My 2 cents. Nobody is asking them to do anything... yet... and they probably never will, but... they're scared shitless and they would rather comply, even for things no one is asking of them yet and is dubious whether or not they're even covered by the sanctions, than show some backbone.

It is if you're biased.

I bet you wouldn't have the same response if Israeli maintainers are being removed.

I'm racist against war. I'm racist against human suffering. Oh no, I'm such a racist. Oh no whatever will I do?

It would be nice to also be racist against the Israel/Palestine conflict as well... or any other conflict, wouldn't you agree?

What's next, islamophobia is okay too?

Of course not.

But I sure as hell might start asking questions like "yo, where you from" on PRs... because Linus made that OK, so... IDK, I don't really like US citizens and Israelis, so... oh why the hell not 🤷. /s

In all honesty, I'm fairly certain at the very moment he found out about it, he was puzzled. But, after reading 10 other Russians got removed as well, I'm fairly certain he knew, but wanted proof and closure. I would like both as well to be honest.

Maybe the better rule is that if you work for a company that produces weaponry for war you shouldn't be allowed to contribute, period.

This is something I can actually get behind on.

But, you see, there is just one teeency weeency tiny problem with that. They spend trucks of cash on whatever they deem will give them what they want, including funding organizations that they profit from.

Also from that thread.

Again, we're really sorry it's come to this, but all of the Linux infrastructure and a lot of its maintainers are in the US and we can't ignore the requirements of US law. We are hoping that this action alone will be sufficient to satisfy the US Treasury department in charge of sanctions and we won't also have to remove any existing patches.

US law CAN'T apply on foreign ground, period. Nothing can. Just because they can bully their way around that, doesn't mean they are right.

And it should be only fair that Israeli maintainers be removed as well.

They should also rethink their infrastructure policy and whether they still want it on US soil.

This is all wishful thinking, I know, but this just goes to show you how they have absolutely no backbone whatsoever. As if anybody is gonna touch the Linux kernel and jeopardize the safety of millions of systems. We all know that is never going to happen, but they still bent over for the US... so typical... just goes to show you how little backbone everyone has, including Linus.

Oh, and don't get me started on the Russia/Finland history comment...

It still boggles my mind why Israeli maintainers are still in the kernel 🤯.

Next up, maintainers with red pubic hair.

I remember, I cried to tears on this one 😂.

Tried installing firmware packages?

That is what puzzled me as well. It litelarly works in every other app, except Jerboa. In have no idea why, and I have asked this same question a few times here on Lemmy, but no one seems to know the answer.

Uuuu, OPs a blackhat 😁.

IDK, if my friend did that to me all the time, I would probably make sure I see/hear less of him. That would serously annoy me.

But, each to his own I guess 🤷.

That's just it. It's set to Gboard spell checker, but it doesn't work in Jerboa.

Yeah, those kinda puzzled me as well. They didn't look like they're varnished, but I suspect I could be wrong about that. After all, they do work, lol 😂.

That said, isn't spellcheck underlining more frequently in the apps you're typing into rather than the virtual keyboard?

That is something that has always puzzled me, and yes, I believe you're right.

But, the confusing part for me is, Gboard has a spellcheck option, and if I disable it, it doesn't underline words when typing (in apps that normally check spelling).

But, let's take Jerboa for example. It doesn't work in Jerboa. No matter if enabled or disabled, there is no spellcheck in Jerboa, period.

And that is why things are confusing. Is it the apps that do the spellcheck or the keyboard 🤔.

For me, it would be logical if the keyboard does it (since it's software, you can easilly add this option), just reports back to the software whether it should underline the word or not. But I could be wrong about this since I'm not a dev.
