At first, the subtitle made me think this was going to be about the Russian Linux maintainers controversy, but then it got super relatable. I did dual boot Windows and Linux, only to later wipe the Windows partition, and I bought a new phone to put Graphene OS on, and I deleted all of my social media. I'm not a proselytizer anymore, unless someone specifically asks me about Linux.

This whole brouhaha is pretty disappointing. If they want to conflate individuals with their government, then every american maintainer should be removed as well, since their tax dollars fund US imperialism. Linus should clarify what specific sanction/rule/whatever led to their removal, as the blog author correctly points out. Linus's obscurantism is just throwing fuel on the fire.
