can we not link to this prolific dickhead
If hes not on a paylist for state sponsored propaganda he should be. That was insufferable reporting on the level Id expect from fox news.
Putting aside personal feelings about this move- considering the current situation in Russia... this move may well actually protect some developers lives. There are people taking long walks off of short balconies because they didn't kiss the ring. If I was a developer in that country I'd personally be pretty stoked I was off the short list.
You're not. They're grown ups. If they thought it was ok to keep contributing who the fuck is anyone to tell them otherwise?
You are clearly missing the point of the statement.
If I, a developer, stepped away from a project because I wanted to protect myself: the bridge could be mended from my side regardless of if I was willing to do so (...why hello secret police!) The termination of the bridge from the opposite side means I have lost my strategic value.
As I implied: putting personal feelings aside here- this was a net positive for those in Russia presently given the political climate.
