Other countries are similarly sanctioned, and hundreds of maintainers from those sanctions are still there. So the sanctions thing is absolutely just an excuse.

What Linus just did to Russians is scaring a lot of people right now, who are probably wondering if they should keep working in association with a project which has just demonstrated its unreliability.

Although why would anyone from Russia even consider helping a project which sees them as lesser

This wasn’t a decision made based on sanctions, it was just an excuse given but no actual evidence of Linux being required to act on them was ever given.

And even then, even if you somehow trust that your current political landscape won’t ever go down that route, if lawful invasion into your privacy is legally possible, then it is also illegally possible, and you’re way more of a target for scams, identity theft etc.

I hope they don’t go with unreal, the level of broken-ness of every game on UE5 really worries me

Hidenburg research’s business model is to produce hit pieces to then short sell the company they attack. They have monetary incentives to attack companies, I don’t know if they’re trustworthy.

Also, even if it was permanent, it would still be something like a permanently_removed set to TRUE in a database. License keys probably are one of those things no company truly ever deletes from their records.

Then the US, for good measure

No, that’s not my point. You’re saying “The abused have become abusers”, and while yes, israelis are Jews, abused who became abusers, Jews as a whole aren’t represented by israel, so not all the abused became the abusers.

So my point is that you can’s say “the abused became the abusers”, only some of the abused became so, who are people with a common identity which is distinct to being Jew, and that identity is zionists.

Zionists are abused who have become abusers, Jews as a whole have not.

No

Stop playing into Israel’s game of equating Jews to Israelis.

There are LGBTQ people in Palestine, do you think Israel’s bombs don’t kill them too?

The game was allowed for sale worldwide, Sony changed the restrictions today on the steam store, delisting the game in 177 countries where it was previously available

Steam and arrowhead both allowed the sale of the game in non-compatible markets.

No. Sony handles the publishing on Steam. Sony set the countries allowed for sale – neither Steam, which is only the platform, nor arrowhead, who did not publish the game, have any responsibility in the matter. You’re taking away blame from Sony which is the single culprit for that mistake

That law does not cover the owners if we can prove they put an unseaworthy vessel to work and we can prove they knew of its unseaworthiness

Irrelevant, embassies are internationally protected sanctuaries.

Israel is born out of aggression

Oh nice, follow up with a racist remark, kkkeep up the good work 💀

“Yay, one billion people are gonna suffer!”

Fucking libs smh

No technology ever comes out free of caveats, and trams, even though they are way better than busses, require years of public work on the infrastructure. That job should be started ASAP, but letting diesel run in the meanwhile is pointless

I love how every photo of this thing is right in front of the subject. Just tilt their head 30° and it will look like comical googly eyes
