Yes, especially in light of the Linux thing this morning

Yeah, along with this I am suspecting there's been a "suggested interpretation" from western governments to large orgs.

Yeah... weird how sanctions work... it's like they're broad and affect many people and entities...

We should ask Deepcool about their experience with non-compliance.

[–] zante@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Ok cool but we are talking about timing so

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

Most likely coincidence. The sanctions came into effect and their respective lawyers took about the same time to come up with a policy that complies with them. There's nothing more to the story that would make it weird.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Huh, it's almost as if, when sanctions are declared, they go into effect for everyone at once.

I'm OOTL. What Linux thing are you talking about?

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

A bunch of .ru email holders have been removed from the linux kernel group because of sanctions

[–] Adm_Drummer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Ahhh I see. Thank you!

The Linux project removed maintainers who were Russian or were using Russian e-mail addresses, probably to comply with sanctions. Linus hasn't talked about the legal details because he doesn't know if he can (and because Daddy Vladdy's Dick Chuggers are out in full force).
