    It’s really disappointing seeing Russian contributors being disrespected like this, the regime that rules Russia wasn’t entirely their fault, and allegiance, nationality, and ethnicity are all clearly different things

    Also, wouldn’t a state sponsored Russian hacker pretend to be from the US or something anyway? No way they’d contribute code as a Russian, that’d just increase others’ suspicion

    I agree with Linus a lot too but I strongly disagree here. I hope he’s just being made to say this because of government policies

      And the most dangerous part here is the whole rethoric of “if you disagree, you are a Russian shill”.

      At this point it’s the Russians peoples fault.
