    This is a shame, I always thought Linux was supposed to be an International collaboration, hate to see it caught up in this bullshit political agenda.

      I agree to this. I was literally just in the shower thinking how Linux, the space station, and the Olympics are the only times we as humans come together to collaborate

        You know that Russia wasn’t able to compete in the Olympics or Paralympics this year, right? The individual athletes weren’t banned however, but they had to compete under a neutral banner and weren’t in the parade of nations.

        Edit: I should have added, was disgusted because Israel were allowed to compete. Huge double standard there.

          I’m all for sanctioning them too. Economic sanctions are the bare minimum we should be doing to genocidal authoritarians.

      Does invading your neighbor count as international collaboration? Not that all Russian people can be held directly responsible for the actions of their government.

        @theunknownmuncher The US has been involved in probably 300 regime changes throughout the world, has invaded many countries, including those that we were not affiliated with. Russia invades a neighboring country when we install a leader that is going to allow us to put missiles on their border. I really hate to see political hegemony get in the way of a good collaborative effort, we all suffer for it if we allow this.

          Absolutely fair point. I agree with you on this portion of your comment.
