So the Rest of the world should trust CIA, NSA contributions but not Russia's FSB ? come on , opensource should be tolerant towards all espionage agencies no matter their skin color.
Russians are majority white but ok
don't be pedantic, what about the Chinese, south-Africans, north-Koreans, Cubans, ..etc
Don't get me wrong, I dont think it's right to forbid people from collaborating in an open environment just because of what their government does, and frankly the arguments that the normal people should be punished because of their government are stupid, but it's just, not racism.
I wasn't referring to racism. Race and Nationality are almost the same thing, people can't chose in what community they were born in. and not everyone has the means to move.
This is the difference between political systems where one is really really bad but at least doesn't regularly assassinate opponents in the most horrific ways, and allow people to speak their minds.
I don't trust the US any further than I can throw it, but no matter how you look at it, it's the lesser evil.
Hell, look at sports. If a Russian athlete wins you can pretty much disqualify them for doping without having tested them because they all do it and I feel sorry for them, I feel sorry for that situation. There is a reason (beyond this war) why Russian athletes weren't allowed to compete at certain events, and it's the insane amount of doping used by them. I'm sure these athletes don't want to do this crap, but a state basically forces them to.
I can see the worry about similar issues with developers.
No, they don't.
no matter their skin colour
Russia is very, very white. Overwhelmingly so.
This has nothing to do with skin colour.
Replying because I need to think about how I'm going to vote for this comment and plan to come back later.
