Fuck america… I like my family and friends only. Everyone else is an npc or a bot.

I bet this was said to cover for crimes he may have committed as christisn judges will definitely see it as a legit defense. Or he is fucking stupid.

Your entire comment is a bunch of bullshit and straight up propaganda.

While I understand that the manner in which your removal from the Linux kernel maintainer list was handled may feel frustrating, there are much larger issues at stake here. The fact that you would leave a project you claimed to have volunteered for “in good faith” as soon as your country’s role in a horrific war of aggression comes into question is deeply troubling.

Let’s be clear: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is an unprovoked act of war, involving systematic atrocities and crimes against humanity. No matter how you frame your individual involvement as a contributor to open-source projects, by remaining silent and failing to stand against the actions of your government, you and others in Russia are complicit. You cannot separate your personal or professional activities from the larger geopolitical realities—especially not when your country is committing genocidal acts.

Furthermore, the issue of trust cannot be overstated. The Linux Foundation and broader open-source community depend on trust and collaboration. With Russian state-sponsored espionage, cyberattacks, and covert operations frequently targeting Western infrastructure, it’s impossible to ignore the risks associated with contributors from a country that has made subterfuge and disinformation a central part of its strategy. How can the community trust that your contributions are made in good faith when so many Russian actors have been implicated in espionage and manipulation efforts?

The Linux Foundation does not exist in a vacuum. It stands for more than just code—it represents the principles of openness, transparency, and ethical responsibility. Allowing contributions from individuals tied to a state engaging in war crimes sends the wrong message. It would compromise the integrity of the entire community.

As for the comparison to U.S. support for Israel, the situations are entirely different. The U.S. is not driving soldiers into Gaza to kill Palestinians. While we provide material and military support to Israel—largely aimed at combating Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization—that is not the same as directly engaging in the conflict. The idea that the U.S. is the sole proprietor of the war in Gaza is absurd and fueled by Iranian and other hostile propaganda. The U.S. government has not declared war on Gaza, and no congressional vote has sanctioned such an action.

It’s important to note that U.S. policy toward Israel has been consistent for decades, across multiple administrations. The complexities of this relationship go far beyond any single conflict or war. Furthermore, while atrocities committed by any state must be condemned, we are not responsible for every action taken by Israel, just as Russians like yourself should not dismiss your government’s role in the atrocities being committed in Ukraine.

In the end, it’s about accountability. You chose to walk away from the Linux community because of a necessary and justified action aimed at holding people accountable for their involvement, directly or indirectly, in a war of aggression. Your departure speaks volumes about where your priorities and loyalties truly lie.

And where the fuck is the outrage for the thousands of children kidnapped by the Russian’s in Ukraine? The ACTUAL definition of genocide is a lot different than collateral damage caused by war. An ACTUAL genocide is happening right now in Ukraine with concentration camps (filtration camps) and all those bells and whistles. This world is fucking stupid sometimes. What is happening in Gaza is small fucking baby potatoes compared to what is happening in Ukraine. Russia also supports Hamas so maybe that is where all this propaganda comes from on this sub-lemmy? Its terrible. Fuck this entire sub.

There is a reaaon they are sanctioned. Nice try krembot.

I totally agree that PIA is owned by a horrible company and is not exactly the greatest VPN but its port forwarding is crucial if you have any intention on staying compliant with private torrent community rules.(you must be connectable). Tell me of another VPN provider that provides this for a good price? Also, self hosting a vpn is the best idea except for if you are torrenting copyrighted material on it; don’t try that on any vps providers.

Actually, now that its setup, its completely automated. “Renting” a movie is as easy as typing and and pressing request with overseer. As far as launching an app. I just turn on my smart tv and launch plex and BICKETY FUCKING BAM SLAM MAN my entire library shows up. Works fucking great and now I provide it to my entire family with no bullshit drama about password sharing, they each have their own accounts and everything. For those too lazy or stupid to figure it out, that is what streaming services are for.

I have a solution for everyone having problems.

Private Internet Access (specifically for port forwarding) in docker container networked with the below container QBitTorrent in a docker container

prowlarr to connect to private torrent websites

watch the community open signups for invites or just buy one, a good start is iptorrents or torrentday (same people).

attached the private torrent login to prowlarr

add sonarr or radarr to prowlarr and start downloading shows for free to your plex or whatever you wanna use. Use google or CHATGPT to figure out how to do all this shit. But honestly if they don’t want to play fair, why should we. PIRACY FOR THE WIN!

Edward Snowden sold out to Russia and their genocide.

you are a fucking insane. peddle your conspiracy theory bullshit on twitter. fuck off.

I wish they could catch all the traitors of the country who raided our capitol. Fucking idiots, all of them deserve jail. I hope they use FISA to find them and the foreign money as well. Most of crooks in the republican party have connections to foreign governments.
