No, I'm just trying to point out how ridiculous this whole situation is and that it was handled by the LF, and especially Linus, in the worst way possible.

I may not have noticed all of your comments, I was only quoting from this one, which doesn't mention anything else but Russia/Ukraine conflict. On the other hand, I mentioned "conflicts in general".
And cryptographic data has nothing to do with the sanctions, the sanctions are purely monetary investment related, which also has nothing to do with intellectual investment, but LF decided to include that anyway, just so that they be "good little soldiers" and not get in any legal problems.
We will never know since it will never happen.
Do share.
Allowing contributions from individuals tied to a state engaging in war crimes sends the wrong message.
So... letting Israeli maintainers still be on the maintainers list is a great message, got it 👍.
...just as Russians like yourself should not dismiss your government's role in the atrocities being committed in Ukraine.
Ah, yes, you're troubled by this drama, so you must be Russian 😉 👍.
You could use a knife to kill someone as well... hell, an umbrella as well.
because the santion load is just going to increase and more countries will be included.
Not to mention more stupid shit, like not being able to visit the US if your wife is Russian, cuz.. you know, you might be a spy.
If they are just doing this because of a political fad and partaking "the current thing" then they are just voluntarily digging their own and the linux foundation's grave.
My 2 cents. Nobody is asking them to do anything... yet... and they probably never will, but... they're scared shitless and they would rather comply, even for things no one is asking of them yet and is dubious whether or not they're even covered by the sanctions, than show some backbone.
It is if you're biased.
I bet you wouldn't have the same response if Israeli maintainers are being removed.
I'm racist against war. I'm racist against human suffering. Oh no, I'm such a racist. Oh no whatever will I do?
It would be nice to also be racist against the Israel/Palestine conflict as well... or any other conflict, wouldn't you agree?
What's next, islamophobia is okay too?
Of course not.
But I sure as hell might start asking questions like "yo, where you from" on PRs... because Linus made that OK, so... IDK, I don't really like US citizens and Israelis, so... oh why the hell not 🤷. /s
I would say sad... especially seen from other devs.
