Good stuff.
Was just about to post this before @yogthos@lemmy.ml beat me to the punch. 🙂👍
Why are so many projects still on Microsoft-owned github? They should follow OM’s lead.
Organic Maps said not to blame this on Microsoft but rather on US law
What happened? Why did github block them?
OrganicMaps GitHub repo was blocked due to contributor being geolocated in a US-sanctioned place https://mastodon.social/@organicmaps/114155428924741370
Thank you. Would you mind explaining what this means please? What is a U.S.-sanctioned place? Why does the U.S. government think this is a bad thing?
contributor being geolocated in a US-sanctioned place
US likes to impose arbitrary sanctions on its adversaries. Basically the US government decided that people from a particular country aren’t allowed to collaborate with people using US based platforms like GitHub.
The US has been punishing open source contributors from countries they don’t like.
@TheOubliette @racketlauncher831 supporters and apologists of violence against innocent civilians should be punished, by any human. You don’t think so? Do you support violence against innocent civilians?
What country do you live in and how much should you be punished for living in it?
@TheOubliette living in a country, vs going on vacation in Crimea, are two very different things.
