From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ok western chauvinist. Why doesn’t he ban the genocidal Israelis? It’s because he is full of shit and a racist

Because he's not making any political, moral, or personal decisions, and only follows the law he is forced to.

When the law forces him to sanction Israel, he will do so, and when the law stops forcing him to sanction Russia, he will stop doing so.

bullshit, his statement was unprofessionally filled with glee at banning russians who he clearly sees as evil as a whole, as he's banning people who have nothing to do with the war that he has worked with for years just so he can make a libshit stink over it.

I completely agree he was unprofessional about it and should have handled it better. It was his choice in how he communicated it, and I think he failed on that point. Having said that, it was not his choice to do it, and I'm sure he will undue it when it's legally possible. Hopefully using better judgement on his choice of words then.

It was his choice to be a baby brained racist, how nice

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

No, not nice at all. I'm answering your question on why he doesn't ban Israeli contributors, not deliberating on the niceness of anyone in particular.
