I guess the lawyers are working for the Linux Foundation? Linux development does not need and started without a legal structure. They could tell the lawyers and the Linux Foundation to get lost. Is the US government going to prosecute individuals for collaborating with individuals from Russia on free software projects? If that's so, maybe wait till that actually happens and see what the courts have to say about that, instead of this anticipatory obedience.

And the rest is some rhetoric parlor trick and/or racist brainworms. How is not banning Russian individuals from kernel development "supporting Russian aggression"? And apparently there is no way anybody would argue against that without being a Russian paid actor or a propaganda victim. I've been watching these so-called "real news" and they love carrying water for genocide right now. Their terrible propaganda -- our "real news".

Check again what the parent poster said:

As long as they are not violent they can protest all day long.

Which is what I replied to, and which is clearly not true, they ban nonviolent protests all the time.

I don't expect anybody is trying to jailbreak phones that have an official way to unlock them, even if it is very annoying.

Because HTTP is simpler, faster, easier, more reliable.

The motivation for a a lot of p2p is to make it harder to shut down, but there is no danger of that for Linux distros. The other would be to save money, but Debian/Arch/etc. get more than enough bandwidth/server donations, so they're not paying for that anyway.

Hefets is not a guy and this is not a quote from her (or at least, it doesn't seem like a quote). Or do you mean the author of the article? I can't imagine that, because there's not reason to think he was arrested, so why you bring up that "that guy should not be arrested but straight up jailed or deported" (wtf)?

And why would the sit-in being illegal matter over whether this is police brutality or not? In the video I see the police grabbing a woman's face for no apparent reason (and also the face of the guy in the background) and then wrestling her to the ground and I don't see why the police would need to do that just to get her out of there.

So you want to jail and deport people for the terrible crime of looking at that and having the perfectly reasonable interpretation that this is excessive use of force and police brutality and saying that??? Fucking hell.

Hamas has repeatedly made clear that it will support the establishment of a Palestinian state limited to the 22 percent of the mandate of Palestine that would be represented by the 1967 borders, provided that such a settlement is approved by a majority of Palestinians in a referendum.

But go on, spread your misinformation.

Oh people tried to do something about the Houthis. In fact, they starved Yemeni children to death to hurt the Houthis. Turns out that only made them more popular.

Defending Israel's right to commit genocide. I wonder if they plan to do genocide in Yemen again.

"Both sides"

However, recent data from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) shows that since 2005, 96% of deaths have been Palestinian.

Every time the oppressed fight back, libs immediately start to create a false equivalence with the oppressors.

The makers of this map, Freedom House, receive funding mainly from the US government. They also took money from BAE Systems, Britain's biggest arms manufacturer.

Obviously protestors have a reason for protesting and the CIA isn't handing out cash to random schmoes. They're just giving money to various groups that organize and support the protest, or they pay for positive media coverage. Groups they've been cultivating for decades. Groups that are coordinated by the US state department and will do basically what the US embassy tells them to do.

Again, imagine you had protests in Estonia, and the groups involved were long-time funded by Russia, and Russian officials made appearances at these protests to hand out cookies and shake hands, and Russian-funded media was riling up the protestors, and some of the people involved are straight up far-right fascists that hate your ethnic group. And then you hear a leaked phone call of Lavrov discussing who's going to be the new PM of Estonia, and a couple of weeks later, shooting starts (no one knows how exactly and nobody is too interested in finding out) and your old PM gets ousted without proper procedure, and the guy the Russians said they liked is in, and the far-right fascists also gets posts, and they hate you. WHAT WOULD YOU THINK?

This will go through. Firefox already caved on the video/audio DRM last time, and even if they don't, people will just switch browsers. The only thing that could do anything about this are powerful governments and maybe Apple. But Google has bribed all of Washington and half of Brussels at this point, and I imagine the press actually likes the idea of putting DRM on their shitty websites, so they won't make a big stink I don't think, even though they beef with Google. If Apple actually drags their feet I'm sure Google can bribe them.
