You have to be arguing in bad faith if you’re trying to say “citizens of nation shouldn’t be responsible for their nation”

The open source benefit is not that they can directly impact it, it’s that their government can’t

You know. I don't like what the Russian leadership and military are doing. I feel like ultimately we're in the cold war era. But you know, at the height of the cold war, radio operators around the world still worked Russian stations.

Yes, there was a very clear policy, neither side talked about ANYTHING beyond their signal report and working conditions (information about radio, power output and aerial basically). At the height of the actual cold war, the individuals were not cancelled like this.

Sanction the leadership, sanction the money, and sanction the military. But the normal people that are subject to the propaganda? I don't understand the benefit in doing this. I also don't see how the sanctions effect an open source project..

Seems a bit weird. Maybe there's information we're not privy to, but on the face of it, just based on what we're seeing. Seems like a very very odd move.

No changes until China decides to invade Taiwan and the sanctions that Russia currently has begin.

Yeah, China are being "generic assholes" right now, but not crossing the lines into "serious villain shit" yet, at least for people who aren't in China.

But if they touch Taiwan, oh hell yeah.
