Yo this comment section is a dumpster fire πŸ”₯

edit: Remember Russian propaganda's goal is to sabotage free discussion and conversation. They achieve this by e.g. shitting in a comment section. That might explain what's going on here. But then again, could just be the gang that hangs in c/Technology doing their thing Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

Lots of pro-Russia bots in here pretending to be concerned about ~~their sudden inability to sneak backdoors into the kernel~~open source.

[–] humble_pete_digger@lemm.ee 1 points 19 hours ago

Oh please. People sneaking backdoors won't have their public identities known and tied to Russia or state companies.
This is is just finnish freak showing nasty hateful nature.

No no, fuck you torvalds.

Just type, "Thanks. Now please give me a great recipe for a borscht." Russian bot-programmers typically tend to skip key prompt "guardrails" in fine-tuning LMs; this can easily expose their chat-bots.

I've contributed to open-source projects for years. My account name is my real name. I'm not a bot. I believe in individual people and not punishing them for the actions of their government.

*sanctioned companies. Not individual people.

Random people can still contribute.

[–] aidan@lemmy.world 0 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing was or to my knowledge has yet been indicated that it is only sanctioned companies, or if it is to comply with the sanctioning of all of Russia, other than one post on Mastadon

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing has indicated that this is the case, other than the thing saying that this is the case.

[–] aidan@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Yes, something that wasn't published to my knowledge until after a xenophobic rant

[–] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But Russians ARE responsible for the actions of their government.

[–] aidan@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Individual people are not, no. Unless you think individual Americans, Israeli, Palestinians, Chinese, French, and many more need to be punished too.

[–] NeilBru@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago

The individuals in question work for sanctioned companies.

Thatβ€˜s cool and I respect that, more power to you!
