    Seeing Linus Torvalds' talk like a BlueAnon lib was very disappointing.

    Why does free, international software have to abide by US sanctions, anyway?

      For the same reason Google has to abide by EU rules and regulations and VW has to abide by American laws and Disney has to edit their movies for China.

        gee all those entities are for-profit, why does Linux need to prioritize profits again?

                if being based in the USA is more important than not arbitrarily banning Russians then fuck Linux

          Okay you’re still missing the point. The same reason the Red Cross or Doctors Sans Borders needs to abide by laws in several different countries.
