🇫🇮🇷🇺 Linux was accused of Russophobia: the company fired 11 Russian developers

Linux founder Linus Torvalds has dismissed 11 Russians responsible for the development of the operating system's kernel, according to media reports. The reason for the decision was "non-compliance with some requirements", but it is not specified which ones.

✖️ The Finnish company was accused of Russophobia on the web, after which the Linux kernel creator Linus Torvalds himself commented on the situation.

📝 "It is quite clear why there was a change. It won't be cancelled, and using a few random anonymous accounts to try to "sneak" it through Russian troll factories won't change anything. <...> Please rack your brains, as you call it. I'm Finnish. Did you really think I would support Russian aggression?", he wrote.🤯

#Linus himself brought up his Finnish citizenship. However, it's worth to mention that for Finnish he historically is part of the problem. Swedish (Linus has Swedish roots) are not perceived as friends by Finnish. Neither are Russians. Apparently his stance on expelling Russian developers is rather because he doe's not want his project and himself end up like the ones who stood up to Americans. #Linux

Unsure what example you'd like. WikiLeaks might seem not really adequate, but it is. It that's the question nostr:nprofile1qqsdftfmdm407yl7pn9vsmfzjszf0x9w9cuh094d5klrr9je9etw9fcpzfmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuegpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnsz9thwden5te0wahhgtnwdaehgu3wwpshyarep7znzs
