      Linus Tech Tips is a small business tyrant who thinks ad blocking is piracy and Linux Linus is a chud gobbling up propaganda about Russians being orcs to the point he happily approved of a bunch of Russian maintainers being randomly stripped of their ability to contribute to the Linux kernel

        This one is russophobic (banned russian kernel contribuitors) and treated people over the years so bad that he needed to apologize one time. I mean. People on the internet need to stop asap making internet foundations (look at Linux foundation) in USA and USA colonies. Tomorrow they will ban chinese too because Trump or just China bad (many contribuitors are chinese so maybe not). Also look what they are doing with internet archive. Literaly suing for so much money it may have to shutdown.

      He’s pretty lib though.

      Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

      It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to “grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change anything.

      And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.

      If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

      As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too.
