    Linux leadership: we are running dogs for American empire and will eagerly implement all chauvinisy policies in our “international” open source project. Sure we can insult you and lie and make bigoted comments.

    Are you all stoked for major forks? Because this is how you get major forks. Presimably they will start as patches on upstream, but decoupling would be an eventuality.

      With the state of western software development and how ingrained the US and Israeli security state seems to be there, plus how much China seems to be prioritizing top-to-bottom self-sufficiency in tech, I wouldn’t be surprised if a Chinese fork that welcomes Russian contributors becomes a force unto itself.

      An ecosystem where India, Russia, and China based coders take leadership is an ecosystem that has a bigger chance for mass adoption in the biggest manufacturing economies in the world.

        Stuxnet is just the beginning. Who knows how many hidden programs they’re running and building, how many certs and VPNs are compromised, what encryption algos they’ve cracked, what platforms they have full and instant access to, what critical infrastructure they’ve rigged to blow, just waiting for a go code…

        We won’t know for 20 years at least.
