minus-squareGoodEye8@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down2·6 天前True, but that’s because Linux is kind of in a bind due to this war, but Linux probably benefits more from aligning with the western powers rather than fight for a handful of maintainers. Not that Linus would fight for Russian maintainers.
