  Or, alternately, and I’m just spitballing randomly here… Russians could gtfo of Ukraine and go home?

    Only if this standard is applied universally. I agree.

    • InverseParallax@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      You know what would be a great way to establish that standard?

      …you only want Russia to stop genociding Ukraine if all other war stops?

      Yes, russians should gtfo of other countries universally.

    The US occupying 1/3 of Syria and Iraq for far longer is ok though.

      In comparison? Yeah.

      Russia, the dumb drunk fucks they are, even tried to rush our forces, because they were outnumbered 50:1 but apparently Russians can’t do math and don’t understand you don’t fuck with Americans unless you’re 5000:1, or at least not be morons trying to charge joint forces with a bunch of morons running across the desert.

        Just putting this here so it’s above that absolutely disgusting, genocide-denying propaganda from polar:

        en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor

      • polar@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yep, the US is so powerful that is why Assad still in power and all regions with large population are kept away from US. Holodomor is highly disputed if is man-made. Specially when you consider Russia had a equally devastated famine at the very same time (Soviet famine of 1930–1933) and another a decade prior (Russian famine of 1921–1922). But of course, we only care about the mostly Ukraine affected one Holodomor one (1932-33) because it fits our anti-Russian agenda. As a rural guy, let me tell you, ironically, when famine strikes, the ones who suffer the most are farmers (a long story to explain here why)… Ukraine and parts of non industrialized Soviet Union all suffered famine and millions upon millions died, no distinctions if they spoke Russian or Ukrainian.

    How many of these Russian maintainers were in Ukraine?

    source

    • InverseParallax@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Don’t care.

      They can still write and submit, they just can’t be maintainers, because every second there’s a single uninvited Russian in Ukraine, Russia should go fuck itself.

        Russian people aren’t the Russian state

  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.

  you mean like the Ubuntu fork North Korea uses?

  I hear they’re friends with Russia now, maybe they’ll share.

  lol @ “hard fork”

  Go and do it then.

  Just because Russians can’t approve commits anymore?
