A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Personally I’m glad the sanctions have some bite. You can’t expect to just keep living your life as you wish when your country is obliterating its neighbors and disrupting stability worldwide.
And how exactly is banning these contributors supposed to stop the invasion? These people have no control or culpability.
It's supposed to put the LF in line with sanctions rather than at risk. They have no control over the invasion (aside from pushing a malicious patch that shuts down all Linux systems or something)
So then you agree that there is no reason to be "glad" about this?
Is this supposed to be a leading question? I'm not making the decisions, but there's no reason to be happy about losing contributors in any case.
Some people think if you’re not foaming at the mouth over this then you’re in total support. The threads have been bizarre
