Everyone who disagrees with my opinions is a insert current US enemy here bot.
It's the best there is.
I recently heard someone say after they almost accidentally went in a wrong building entrance, "Good thing I didn't do that or I would regret my life choices."
A bit much for something minor that created no more than two seconds of awkwardness.
That will at least explain why things are getting worse tho. The term enshittification is just nostalgic idealization with no real theory behind it.
Marxists have a hundred years of text dedicated to alienation from labor, the falling rate of profit, degeneration of art and creative disciplines under later capitalism due to the profit motive, cycles of class struggle, all based on a materialist analysis of changing production and class relationsi
But for some reason a trendy term like enshittification that vaguely means things are getting worse, without going into the basis about why they're currently getting worse, has caught on.
I'm convinced it's part of the tech grifter trend to take things that were already invented, slap a new name on it, repackage it, and sell it.
This one is mine too. It's used in a way that can give it more meaning (mainly, this is something out of our control), but logically the phrase is just corpo filler-speak that means absolutely nothing.
Theodore T'so especially:
first comment:
The question of why a particular country has decided to sanction Russia and not Ukraine, and why a country has decided to support one country versus another, whether it's Germany, France, and Poland sending tanks and armored vehicles to Ukraine, or North Korea sending artillary shells to Russia, is not up to the Linux development commuity.
next comment:
Sanctions are imposed by Governments
for example, the US, European, Japan, Switzerland, Norway, etc. Not Linux developers, nor Russian troll farms, nor Russia's useful idiots on the internet. It's not up to anyone on this mail thread.
Damn there are a surprising number of maintainers that are comrades and not taking this lying down from the western supremacist cohort.
Linus opened up a massive can of worms and turned this into a geopolitical conflict by acting like a baby.
This comment by Hantong Chen is great:
Hi James,
Here's what Linus has said, and it's more than just "sanction."
Moreover, we have to remove any maintainers who come from the following countries or regions, as they are listed in Countries of Particular Concern and are subject to impending sanctions:
- Burma, People’s Republic of China, Cuba, Eritrea, Iran, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
- Algeria, Azerbaijan, the Central African Republic, Comoros, and Vietnam.
For People’s Republic of China, there are about 500 entities that are on the U.S. OFAC SDN / non-SDN lists, especially HUAWEI, which is one of the most active employers from versions 5.16 through 6.1, according to statistics. This is unacceptable, and we must take immediate action to address it, with the same reason.
What an extremely dangerous place to domicile such an important project.
One of them, @nutomic is the other, but we have a ton of contributors now. Glad to have you.
