Dear all, please remember that engaging with trolls can get you banned (rule of thumb, half the time the offender gets for themselves)
Write what you want others to read, I don’t care if there are disagreements. But go get a private chat room if you want to exchange insults with them :)
Why not just use Red Star Linux? I thought Jong Un and Vlad were besties.
Well to be pedantic, Red Star is a custom DE on top of Linux, not a kernel
Ok, that was always allowed!
I wonder what they’ll call it. Will they keep the “Linux” name?

Can I have the shittiest stock meme phrase you have?
…no that’s too shitty.
CASH ME OUTSIDE HOW ABOUT HAWK TUAH HARAMBE THANKS FOR THE GOLD KIND SIR
Only possible because its FOSS. Hopefully this shows more governments why FOSS is awesome.
This will only show the idiots over at Western governments that FOSS is hurr durr bad, lets Ruskies evade sanctions

Russian doctrine hasn’t evolved past Soviet era, why should our jokes? What’s air defense doing by the way? Oil fields and refineries and storage facilities just keep exploding.

I would be very surprised if such a fork would diverge from Linux. I would guess that this would be little more than a branch with (most likely) support for Russian hardware. Just my hunch.
A legitimate hard fork doesn’t seem particularly smart to me, but what do I know…
“I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, Rus/GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Russian Federation plus GNU plus Linux minus Linus.”
It’s not about a divergent featureset, it’s about making sure Russian businesses can continue to legally use Linux if the US decides to make that the next step
The bad kerning in that cover image text cannot be unseen
A national fork? In Russia?
Sometimes the jokes write themselves.
It would be “interesting” at best.
Why should this be different than the US or EU funding open source, either directly or through universities, corporations, and NGOs that often intersect with the military “industrial” financial complex?
Try to explain why it’s different rather than pointing to their nationality and going “well, see???”
Because Russia is under sanctions. They would have to take everything into there own hands which means they would basically have a separate project.
they would basically have a separate project.
That’s what a fork is. Happens all the time.
It really doesn’t happen all the time. It is pretty rare for a fork to be successful especially if most of the development is still happening on the original project. I don’t see Russia having much success with this.
Oh sure we agree then, was just minigun full auto posting. It’s going to be completely separate from the financial system that has most open source development under its thumb, I find that exciting.
Go for it. That’s one of the benefits of being FOSS, and other countries have their own versions of Linux already (that meet whatever dumb authoritarian rules are required).

Clearly best downstream of Fedora comrade. Complete with open source anti capitalist technology to save your eyes from
the truththe totally inferior OS of the west.you have to make your own distro from scratch
I don’t think you know how this works lol
I’m pretty sure Android isn’t North Korea.
Although what do I know.

Okay then, that was always allowed
Yeah this is called blowback, like with the chip sanctions, like with industrial and natural resource sanctions. Trying to besiege economies that industrially dwarf the US will make R&D spending skyrocket in the targeted states, and the remaining irreplacable western monopolies will suffer for it, US NGO+academic+corporate domination of the open source scene is something that every gadget using or programming person should hope goes away.
Pick GDP, manufacturing output or whatever metric and look it up: Russia is not even close to the US. China is the one playing in the same league as the Americans.
As for open source being dominated by the US, the stats for Linux development don’t give that portrait at all.
Wow sounds like great news for Russia and a huge win for them then, I’m sure their internet trolls are supporting this decision instead of crying about it all over the internet, right??
My god what an embarrassing take

Your take needs evidence to prove that Russia indeed has the low-end chip market captured.
Lemmy.ml radiation is leaking again
If you want an echo chamber that repeats Wikipedia and Google News slop back to you, Reddit is down the hall and to the right.
So is lemmy.ml, plenty of echoing going on there

I don’t need to deny anything you are saying, I just get to stop interacting with an obvious troll from an instance that spawns people like you.
People think your “Russia has the low-end chip manufacturing market cornered” argument is not backed by evidence.
They took my third party apps. I’m here now.

One thing neo-liberals and dictator loving pretend-communists agree on: Reddit is a cesspool.
Reddit refugees
Calling them refugees is an insult to actual refugees.
Nah thinking that Russia gonna somehow grow using inexistent money for R&D and compete with US(?) Is pretty moronic also calling them forking the kernel as “blowback” it was clear for everyone that they would do that, except Lemmy.ml I guess, so yes I like my echo chamber of less delusional people
It’s ‘nonexistent’, and if you think that software development is fundamentally out of reach for financial reasons you have no idea how either their finances or open source development operates. Besides, shouldn’t you be talking about how they will need to rely on the Perfidious Chinese? No you just can’t even imagine poorer countries having hardware or developers.
You really show your inferiority complex by relying on jingoism, not just nationally, but to the point of trying to turn ActivityPub homeservers into an upvote gang turf war. Just discuss what is happening and try not to get too worked up over taking in explanations.
If you’ve ignored how many industries the US has fallen out of competition with internationally, then I could see being surprised by this. Semiconductors are a lot more challenging than software R&D and both China and Russia have rapidly overtaken the US market for low end chips, they will now own the market for chips for appliances and military hardware until the US system stops being a financial racket (not soon LOL). India has no problem getting into packaging and testing of chips and software development, they haven’t scratched the surface of nuclear or semiconductors like China and Russia. You just don’t pay much attention.
God, did I started a discussing with ChineseGPT 💀
See, you can’t refute anything I’m saying. It’s pure jingoism all the way down. Everyone you disagree with is a foreign enemy and a robot.
I dunno about all that… but I guess it’s a positive that you’re at least acknowledging that this is about sanctions and not racism or some other stupid bullshit.
