I try to stay away from getting overtly (geo)political in technical communities like this, but in this case, it’s the very nature of the article. And Linus himself underlines this fact:
We do not live in a vacuum. World events affect real people. Sometimes, it is necessary for even ideally apolitical groups to respond. This is one of those times. Слава Україні.
Are you aware of the rich history of your last sentence? And the mandatory salute to go with it?
Are you aware that the salute to which you’re referring was used for only a short while before they got rid of it, and that the saying has additional rich history beyond what you’re referring to, both before and after it was used by Ukrainian nationalists in the Second World War, and is generally accepted as a slogan of national pride and resistance to tyranny these days?
