That list is great but it will never happen, Linus is high on his
western supremacy complex.
Most of the anger (including mine) comes from people who have just
realized what kind of a person Linus is.

He has exposed his lack of morals and inability of self reflection
with the trolls comment.
He has exposed his ignorance, coming from his state media
brainwashing, with the media comment.
He has exposed his ignorance, arrogance and blatant Russophobia with
his "I'm Finish" comment, as if
Finland has any high moral ground when it comes to WWII (for the
historically ignorant: Finnish "concentration camps").

And this is not over, there are plenty of other countries and entities
on the official USA enemies list.
The real majority of the world, all of us outside the USA and their
vassal states, their so called "free world" (one maintainer
actually used that blatant display of American supremacy in a commit
removing Huawei maintainers) are looking at this
with sadness and anger.
The Cold War 2.0 has came to the Linux world and as in the first one,
the Iron curtain has been erected
by those that claim moral high ground with their false values of
freedom, openes, merit etc.

I thought Linux kernel was an international project. But in the end it is just an American project.

I guess Stallman is right again.

> Again, we're really sorry it's come to this, but all of the Linux
infrastructure and a lot of its maintainers are in the US and we can't
ignore the requirements of US law.

So the kernel running on my desktop is controlled by the US?

@torvalds I guess that's what you want. Well done!

Set up a new mastodon instance with @mastohost for 9 USD per month.

Not sure what I'm going to do with the new instance, but it's shockingly easy and relatively affordable to set up an instance with my own subdomain.

Let's see how long it last :)

当然了，开先河这个事儿吧，我觉得影响也没那么大，好多事情都能看出一些端倪。就算开了这个开源软件政治化的先河，有些有良心的维护者也会反对这样做，而早想这么做的人，你几乎都可以从他们以往的行为和发言看出来——开了这个先河之后他们肯定会这么做，之前只是碍于脸面和不想承受潜在的批评不敢做。

小时候觉得最有用的是知识，现在觉得最有用的还是良知和理性。

Of course, that commit will set a precedent for this matter, I don't think the impact is that significant. Many things can reveal some clues. Even if the precedent of politicizing open source software is set, some conscientious maintainers will oppose it, and those who have long wanted to do so, you can almost tell from their past actions and statements — after setting this precedent, they will definitely do so, they just hesitated before due to face-saving and not wanting to bear potential criticism.

When I was young, I thought knowledge was the most useful, but now I think the most useful things are conscience and rationality.
