Isn't Nginx written by a Russian? So is it now banned in the US? What other software has been effected by this legislation?

Don't worry an American will be available to own it instead! And there won't be any problems because we're the best!

You missed the /s in your comment.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

no comment needs an /s

I don't know what you're talking about, it's impossible for the world's only bastion of freedom to do anything wrong! We should just have the president and do away with things like courts!

Woops! You forgot the /s again

Dang it. I'll remember one of these days.

No, but it could be. The President would need to start the process and give them 270 days to relocate to somewhere that's not Russia or sell to a non-Russian company or whatever.
