Damn jongleurs!

(But thanks for teaching me something today!)

I’m not so sure. I’m from a multi-party democracy, and while the ultra-rich (or, well, mega-rich I suppose - the US’s ultra-rich are at a different level I think) certainly have their interests catered to, I feel like on balance the scales are tipped to their benefit to a way smaller extent, largely thanks to the multi-party system.

Who the hell called that a recorder btw? As not-a-native-speaker, the first time I heard that term I was super confused, thinking they were talking about a tape recorder.

Knowing basically nothing about anything that’s relevant here, so pardon any ignorance, but it does sound to me like anything that moves the US towards a true multi-party system would be a pretty fundamental change?

“Taking” blood does give it another extra sinister tinge over what’s actually happening.

Yeah I mean, if people were filing restraining orders against me, I’d certainly take that as a red flag to avoid them 😅

There’s like a 30-year span of 90s kids.

From the point of view of that girl you’re a red flag anyway. But “a menace” works too.

I knew it! Once I suggested this to someone assuming they’re, like me, not a native speaker, and got downvoted to hell. Turned out I was too woke.

I think it’s mostly the parents of whales who are complaining.

It’ll be at the hands of whatever jurisdiction the forker is in. It’s not like you can escape governments.

I never really get the point they’re trying to make in these comic parodies (if there is any), which makes it less meaningful to me if people eat the onion.

No, I’m telling people not to suspect anything, because we don’t know anything.

This is all hypothetical

Yes, that is exactly my point: let’s not get all worked up about something where we have almost zero facts. Although:

open source is beholden to western laws and corporate practices

is definitely the case for the Linux Foundation: it’s beholden to US laws. And wake-up call or not, a foundation would always be incorporated somewhere, and beholden to the laws of that somewhere.

Oh geez, this the third reply by the same account… Again, I’m just saying that we don’t know whether the contributors were assumed guilty, or if they have actual ties to sanctioned companies.

I am literally saying the opposite: I am saying that it’s not clear that this applies to all Russians, or just ones that are sanctioned.

No, I’m saying that if the banned people are only banned because they’re associated with the Russian government (/employed by sanctioned companies), then I’m not going to get outraged over the kernel maintainers. I do not expect them to break the law just to die on this hill.
