Holy shit that got spicy. I was not expecting a Ukrainian and a Serb to start bickering back and forth while stacking racks over the level of support a country gave to the Nazis in WW2 on a kernel mailing list like they were in the comments here on Lemmy.
I get that tensions are high, and for many people the geopolitical reality is their homes being used as cover on an active front line, but like bro your actual fucking name is attached to these messages. At least I keep my most unhinged shit on a semi-anonymous platform. They need to lock it the fuck up.
Edit - jfc, a few messages later somebody comes in with something along the lines of “Taiwan isn’t a country, it’s part of China. When reunification comes sanctions won’t be appropriate against Chinese entities.” Is Lemmy just a front end for this mailing list and I had no idea this entire time?
this is great 🍿🍿🍿
Not even Taiwan claims to be a country though. They claim to be the sole legitimate government of China, hence their actual name, The Republic Of China, and not "republic of taiwan" or some other thing.
While it was true for a long time, I don't think Taiwan expects to get China back anymore. It's more not to start WW3 for the last 30+ years
I thought you were joking, but yup they actually started quizzing eachother on WW2.
It's not the end of Linux by any means, but that's gonna be hard to work together afterwards
I'm optimistic, since technical arguments can be pretty heated yet they end like this:

That's why what Linus said was stupid when he brought WWII into this conversation...
They are not wrong though Taiwan isn’t a country. They have never declared independence their government has never officially given up their claim of being the rightful ruler of China. I have no idea why none of these have not been done.
Because China has always held it would start a full-scale invasion if they ever did. So everyone ignores the elephant and keeps the status quo...
