[Comment removed by moderator pushcx: Don't pour gas on the fire by adding even more geopolitics.]

What does it take to cross the line of incendiary geopolitics in this thread?

I actually recently made a little script to preserve the nuggets of ~~wisdom~~shit produced by the esteemed commentariat and then either deleted by them in shame or purged in righteous mod fury.

The deleted comment is this:

There are a lot russians who don’t support Russian aggression. Discrimination based on a trait people are born with, be it skin color or nationality, is racism. Linus is racist.

Can they also ban Israeli settlers from contributing to Linux or is that inconvenient for mossad agents to back door linux?
