What backlash do all Americans, all Palestinians, all Israelis, all Chinese, all French, and many more deserve?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Yes, and I said I want open-source to be open. As in not just open-source, but also open to all. That is my personal moral value, and I advocate for that. What the OSI supports has nothing to do with that.

Russian people aren't the Russian state

.ml is full of tankies. Also, nothing in open-source principles say that to my knowledge. Am I not allowed to have beliefs not explicitly defined by the OSI?

I actually just emailed RMS about this and I'm genuinely curious what he says. If anyone else is interested, I'll ask if he's fine with me sharing some of the response.

How many of these Russian maintainers were in Ukraine?

You have to be arguing in bad faith if you’re trying to say “citizens of nation shouldn’t be responsible for their nation”

I say that in good faith

it’s that their government can’t

Then take action against specific people if you see that happening.

Source that any of them were?

I've contributed to open-source projects for years. My account name is my real name. I'm not a bot. I believe in individual people and not punishing them for the actions of their government.

This is about open-source being open. I'm a very non-tankie, and I think this is bad- though a bit better if its only people working for sanctioned companies.

 

The title really undersells it, it seems like under a Biden Executive Order, free/open-source software will have to ban all Russian contributions. Its unclear if American developers would be allowed to contribute to Russian software like Nginx

 
 
 

The real shower thought was about movement across the highest speed we know of at the minimum distance we know of, so I divided Planck length by the speed of light.
