Dude is Finnish, from his own mouth, it’s just normal racism against an aggressive imperial, like how people hate the us
Edit: like how people from lemmy.ml hate Americans, if that wasn’t clear

finland has pretty bad, climate-change-exploitation-fucking-over-the-third-world dealings in my country
Which country is that, and what dealings?

Can you find any links where one can read about this?
If Finland is wasting tax payer money to something shady, it should be brought to the local media.

Linus has never been the best communicator, but he usually speaks the truth. But this is just bonkers and wrong. Not everyone living in Russia has “ties with Russia” other than “they were born there”. If this is about sanctions, he could have still just told them that. But instead he just disrespected contributors completely and then double down in it by being xenophobic.
It’s really disappointing seeing Russian contributors being disrespected like this, the regime that rules Russia wasn’t entirely their fault, and allegiance, nationality, and ethnicity are all clearly different things
Also, wouldn’t a state sponsored Russian hacker pretend to be from the US or something anyway? No way they’d contribute code as a Russian, that’d just increase others’ suspicion
I agree with Linus a lot too but I strongly disagree here. I hope he’s just being made to say this because of government policies
At this point it’s the Russians peoples fault.
Dumbasses like you are why the Ukrainian population is paying for your mistakes
