    No changes until China decides to invade Taiwan and the sanctions that Russia currently has begin.

      Yeah, China are being “generic assholes” right now, but not crossing the lines into “serious villain shit” yet, at least for people who aren’t in China.

      But if they touch Taiwan, oh hell yeah.

  To directly quote Linus:

  Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

  It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to “grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change anything.

  And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.

  If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

  As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too.

    Linus is xenophobic pos. It’s clear as day now.

      Stop spilling your dumb orc blood on Ukrainian soil and watch the deserved anti-Russian hatred melt away.

    Linus really pouring on that “white death” heritage.

  Good cleanup on the security vulnerabilities!

    Honestly, that’s the main thing I was thinking.

      Anyone wanting to put vulnerabilities into Linux is probably capable of not looking like they are in Russia…

  Maintainers is a unnecessarily nice word for trolls.

  • independantiste@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    He obviously meant the people commenting online, not the maintainers

    • Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      ? The maintainers are being banned
