the narrative shaping in american media is so disgusting; they won’t even question whether or not my government’s expanded export controls in kicking out some of its most prolific contributors simply because they’re russian is a factor and cover it up by counting the number of lines added.
what happens next year or the year after that? are the same contributors expect to keep working at the same scale they’re doing now? the youngest ones are in their 40’s and paid exorbitantly well; what happens when they retire? do we all just switch to bsd?
Nobody was kicked out for simply being Russian. People were kicked out because they work for sanctioned organizations.
Because “number of commits” is such a relevant metric (for reference 85% of the commits resulted in 110% of added lines compared to 2023).
Are people too lazy to talk about actual features and stuff added, so they compare some arbitrary number because that’s a stat easily pulled from the data?
PS: Nice to see the comments talking about “woke” developers… Guess the culture war brain rot really spreads everywhere 🤮
