Comment on Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers

It’s besides the point because with the Linux kernel not only should it be a net-neutrality style project where we do not let geopolitics affect it (do you really want Trump’s America to have legal power over it?)

The solution here is simple, just do not kick the maintainers unless they have confirmed ties to the Russian state. It’s not always practical to make sanctions precisely targeted, but in this case it actually is easily so.

Let us all love Lain 😁

Other than that, can we still trust .ru and .su domains?

  And you don’t seem to understand ~~
  
  can we still trust .ru and .su domains? I wouldn’t, personally. It’s not like Russians cannot obtain non-.ru domains and if anything those anti-war are inclined to do so to avoid scrutiny, especially with anti-putin russian news orgs like e.g. meduza.
  
  Definitely not .su unless you know what you’re doing and what you’re doing is some sketchy shit.

  Nobody could ever trust .su domains, it’s always been a hive of scum and villainy. No joke, it’s been notorious for scamming and various cyber crime, which is a shame since it’s a great novelty domain.

    The worst cyber crime of them all, denying multi-national megacorps of the potential but unlikely revenue of several dollars! 👮
