my take on recent regrettable events in the #linux kernel community. https://laforge.gnumonks.org/blog/20241025-linux-maintainers-russian/
@LaF0rge did you think about the protection this gives to russian maintainers? Russia might nudge or force those maintainers to do something for its hybrid, low level war. They are no longer a target for this.
@cybertailor @dg3hda any pointers / backtround regarding that claim ("contributing to linux is technically a crime in Russia")? Not a rhethorical question, just being curious.
@LaF0rge @dg3hda Linux Foundation is a foreign non-profit organization. It doesn't have a subsidiary in Russia. Last year, a new article was added in the Crininal Code (№ 330³). It punishes a person's participation in activities of non-profits without registered subsidiaries (i.e. appointed hostages) with up to 3 years in prison.
