griefstricken

The open source / FOSS movement in China is pretty rad. I use a sweet all platform text editor maintained by Chinese devs only.

People should be more wary of the control universities, NGOs, finance through those, law enforcement infiltration etc from US, Euros, Japan, South Korea, Aus has over open source projects due to technology being such a high national security priority.

Guess we're just going to be racist and run with the misdirection of criticism of US laws on to foreign enemies. Just go with the flow, I guess.

If they really want reverse brain drain it isn't my problem, it's their long term problem. CERN is also making a dumb mistake, all universities are in on this, it's imperial chauvinism.

While this is completely appalling, I cannot say I am shocked considering what Linus posts on some platforms and in some conversations. Really not surprising.

Don't take this justification seriously for a second. This is the check coming due for a community with leadership still beholden to western political hegemony, the intellectual appratus that decides who gets educated and what is published, etc etc. Getting a bit offtopic. View this in the same context as CERN kicking out Russians. Mask is coming off of science, democracy, freedom of speech and all that nonsense made up to spruce up the myth of civilization versus barbarity.

This is your brain on idpol

Very cool article but mainly because I was bracing for more nonsense about how stripped down apps can help "dopamine fasting" - which like paranoia about antivirus or mugging level threats has completely overtaken many otherwise terrific projects and leads people to do insane things like destroy searching public posts on one's own website to provide people a security blanket

Instead this gets to one of the core problems with open source. Let's dig even deeper. Most open source contributors are depressed knowing they serve an industry dominated by imperialists who care nothing for them and will actively warp communities into digital company towns, instigate new forms of bullying and low grade civil conflict, and open source development is basically a coping mechanism that can sometimes serve as a justification to stay in the industry

Cool but probably not as sexy as KISS will try it anyways

They are already doing this

Why not post an article from a source that breaks down the response in Israeli media and puts a finer point on this? I just don't understand the nude links to paywalled/insanely evil MSM stuff

What the hell kind of a question even is that
