>My point is that do not act surprised when you will see a noticeable reduction of contributions from Russian, Chinese, etc. developers. Most of people leaving (or not joining in the first place) will not be as visible as the Sergey's goodbye. By itself it may not be a huge deal, especially in the near term, but it compounds with other factors like dwindling (relative) popularity of C and the recent Rust debacle.

I highly doubt anyone would be surprised that people would not stop contributing if they agree with their country's interest in which said countries has questionable interests juxtaposition to USA's - which is where Linux is based.

If anything they would be surprised if they continue to contribute despite their country's geopolitical dumbfuckery and good for them, they got my support all the way.

First just going to state: Linus/Greg issue of lack of transparency is not something I've said that I'm neither agree/disagree with.

But nothing in this blogpost does very much of anything in showing some new revelation of Linus being a person who "dehumanizes" unless the phrase:

> I'm also not going to start discussing legal issues with random

> internet people who I seriously suspect are paid actors and/or have

> been ----->_riled up by them_<-----.

is somehow now synonymous with dehumanization.

But maybe I'm missing something, if so you're more than welcome to highlight where Linus has done something "dehumanizing".
