Bro… Russia arrests protesters from the streets for committing the crime of holding up blank sheets of paper… Russia throws people in jail for political reasons all the time. How are those the actions of the free country? I have a trans friend living in Russia right now who is literally unable to speak about being trans online because she might be accused of “spreading lgbtq+ propaganda”.
The funniest story about this is that time AST (Russian book publisher) literally redacted the text of a biography about an openly-gay Italian director called Pier Paolo Pasolini in order to comply with Russian anti-gay “propaganda” laws… and then published it with the redactions clearly visible:
Literally redacted lmao. Does this scream “free country” to you?
This whole discussion exists because the USA aren’t a free country either, or else the US-based Linux Foundation would not have to act like it does, I thought?
To my complete lack of surprise, Russia
isseems to be a freer country for free software developers than the United States.And this is based on what
America bad
No.
The fact that Russia does not remove maintainers for political reasons.
Is this excluding the bit where they made criticising their war in Ukraine punishable by up to 15 years in prison?
