Good! So why the incendiary comments Linus made on Russians. It is so hard to say something like this: "I have to expel them from the project due to a US law forced us to do it. However, I had trust on them all these years and they contributed a lot to the project (that is why they were working here). Now, I am against the law because we should not discriminate people for the origin. Moreover, the claim that they can harm the software is unwarranted because it is OPEN and many eyes are on it. Finally, this harms the entire Linux project because now makes it an "American"project rather than an global one. Sad times."
With those incendiary comments he did on the people that worked for him for years... I doubt they will be back. If he did not trust them, he would have gotten rid of them years ago. He waited to the deadline to kick them out... good, so he trusted them till now... but then, he despise them from being Russian. I simply don't get it... I don't know... maybe Linus is just an ass or he was forced to say that... I think probably the first.
Looking at the downvotes, signals some true on you comment!
The US occupying 1/3 of Syria and Iraq for far longer is ok though.
Don't know how feasible is a fork of the kernel, but if given a choice, I would choose the distro with the kernel that does not ban people from any nationality every time.

I am also against Russian aggression on Ukraine! But would no ban any Russian because of that. The same I am completely against US occupying Iraq and 1/3 of Syria, yet never would occur to me not to hire an American because what their country does. I really don't understand why is so hard to understand for Lemmy community the double standard.
