No, you gotta build everything from the big bang onwards.

Yeah? Try it with building wheel for wxPython apps for 10 arches.
Either is fine... more or less...
Even if that is the case, that doesn't mean that their code or the code they approve is garbage. I don't care who you are or who you work for. What you do in your life outside of open source is your own business. Quality of code is what matters in open source.
They do have troll factories there to influence public opinion.
In the Linux kernel? No. Definitely not. Maybe you'd like to see what happened after they got removed from the maintainers list, it was spam and trolling, and that is not OK in any scenario.
The problem is this still leads to questions about transparency about the project in general and how this decision was made and whether it was made by those involved in the project or was an order from the US government.
My personal belief is that it was an advice by the lawyers and they went with it balls in because who would care about a few Russian maintainers, right 😒. Linus probably probably put GHK to it, as to not be him that does the PR, split the heat that may come their way, which it did.
I coldheartedly believe that Linus meant what he said since there was no apology afterwards. Russians are bad in general and they all think the same, they support Puttin.
They have been stripped of a role because of a thing that has nothing to do with their competence to contribute to the project. Quality of code is all that matters in open source, not who you are or who you work for.
Sums up my feelings perfectly.
Mine as well.
Not that invested that much, but I seriously, I thought Linus was better than this... I wouldn't expect this even from Stalman to be honest, this is new level of low if you ask me.
What kind of a hellish timeline is this?
I have no idea... if everything is dictated by corps and governments (at least ones that we can't trust with simple things, such as healthcare), I really have really lost all faith in humanity as a whole... not because they're less human individually, but because no one sees anything wrong with this, in general...
Sorry, but the US is almost certainly the main culprit here. They're loosing power in every aspect and they want to reinstate that power in every way possible. As any human being, letting go of a position of power is hard. They just can't accept the fact that someone could be better than them in capitalism then them, which the Chinese proved they can.
It served them well when they were 1st, but it's no good when someone else does it.
Let's say that this company pays the best $$$ and that you really need money for... whatever... now, let's reverse the roles and this person is working for a company that has contracts with the US military during the time of the invasion of Iraq.
See my point... there would have been nothing wrong with that, but all of sudden, it's a problem if Russians do it 🤨...
Political as in freedom to contribute, not political as in "we're banning devs because they work for someone we don't like".
Not everywhere. I seriously doubt Cuba has sanctions against anyone.
The reality is that there are many other wars around the world, yet the Russians are the only ones getting sanctioned. They should set an example by sanctioning everyone that currently works for a company that enables any military. Maybe then the world will see how stupid this whole thing is.
