> the extremely aggressive, unnecessary and dehumanizing remarks from Linus Linus being Linus. I thought he had gotten some comms training but it’s hard to change when you’ve spent most of your career communicating very directly.

Linus and the Linux foundation breaking their own COC: >In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, _ethnicity_, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, _nationality_, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

  I don't see "employer" on that list. Apparently, these people are being removed from their maintainership status due to their employer, not their nationality.

    I assume your interlocutor was referring to how he dismissed those who complained about the move as "Russian trolls" more than the original delisting itself.

      This also refers to employment. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_web_brigades https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_web_brigades

  I don't see "war" in this list.

This is markedly different afaict. In the past, Linus was brash with individuals, and sometimes corporations, judging them by their actions (even if at times unfairly). Now he is demonizing people based on their country of origin, and citing historical military conflicts as justification for demonizing them. The shark has been jumped.

    Are you incapable of reading, or what?

      From my perspective you are reading between the lines something that's not there. It is very strange to blame another person for your own hallucinations. > he is demonizing people based on their country of origin Quote?

  Not wanting to support the Russian MIC that will be used against your home and family the next time Russia invades is not demonizing people.
