    I agree, but people aren’t their government. Discriminating based on nationality is xenophobia.

      Did you miss the fact that it’s not a blanket ban on Russians? If you work for a sanctioned company, then I’m sorry but you are out. Missed the chance to jump ship in the last twenty years of Putin turning Russia into a dictatorship? Well, I hope you like being sent to your death. Sad times, but let’s not pretend that this is discrimination.

        From what I saw in the executive order it wasn’t limited to just sanctioned companies. Linus and other maintainers haven’t come out with which specific sanction they’re talking about so its just speculation

      Banning contributions from sanctioned russian companies is not xenophobia. Pipe down.

      I heard Russia is full of Nazis, and if that level of hearsay is fine for staging a multi year invasion and destroying a thousand years of history it’s just FINE for segregating bad-actors and persona non grata.

      Can’t deal with it? Move to a less shitty company not sanctioned by scumbags. Or even a less tribal country 🤷

        Linux maintainers aren’t invading Ukraine

            I mean, I’d love to see if there’s any evidence to the contrary xd
