Russia Mulls Forking Linux in Response to Developer Exclusions
Russia Mulls Forking Linux in Response to Developer Exclusions
Russia plans to establish an independent Linux development community after the removal of Russian contributors from Linux kernel development.
You're viewing a single thread.
They expect the special operation to take only a month.
Developers mysteriously pushed
throughto Windows.That's also US controlled.
I guest some sort of custom BSD?
Is anyone using BSD as a desktop by the way? Ive only been focusing on Linux.
Very few
Honestly I don't see much point in BSD. Weak licensing and the BSDs are all different. Wayland and systemd are probably nails in the coffin as neither of them will ever work on BSD.
The thing is, there is no way for the US and British to swoop in and declare unlimited military support for the opposing side in exchange for mineral rights and financial predation on its industry and state assets.
Every accusation is a confession, as per standard procedure.
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
Oh, was I the one who brought up the war in Ukraine over Linux? No, that was Reddit brigaders infecting every topic they mentally associate with it, as usual.
Sir, this is a Kernel. This is not the United Nations.
Sir, this is a Lemmy.
Sir, this is a Kernel discussion on a Mastodon instance wearing a trenchcoat.
The real challenge facing a kremlin linux fork isn't opposition, it's deciding what to do once they realize there aren't any maternity wards in the kernel they can shoot ballistic missiles at.
I think you're confusing with israel.
Oh first the Russian government is the one responsible for the fork itself, now suddenly they are shooting missiles at it in your mind. The liberal brainpan is a fascinating place.
It's a Linux fork.
That's what I'm saying, associating it with the SMO is just liberal Russiagate brainworms manifesting over every issue related to the country. I wasn't the one to bring it up.
This is a thread about a Russian fork of Linux.
Yes, and if Russia is solely defined by the war in Ukraine to you, you don't even understand how their government works. It's pure jingoism. Are these people who decided they are Linux superfans the day that Russian maintainers were kicked out so comfortable with the idea that only Western governments should invest in open source technologies? This kind of thing should become a public utility.
It's funny because it's not a realistic expectation.
We discussed that "expectation" already, and how hopes of diplomacy with Ukraine evaporated officially with Boris Johnson's visit. Of course, behind the scenes it was already hopeless since 2014. They just took time to prepare for sanctions.
Rather than discussing the prospect of the development of Linux as a public utility by a diverse array of nations and groups, you show up to cheerlead for western tech monopolies and the intellectual apparatus. You jeer. You hoot. You've got your burger in hand.
The joke is since it's a Russian fork of Linux, they think that it'll be complete in only a month.
Like many things in Russia, the appearance is more important than the truth. If there were anything substantial made, I’m sure there will one or more soy agencies helping to pad a developer’s savings.
