    The kernel’s american now?! WTF?

    Now we see the intended outcome of the “Inclusively” movement of the past few years.

    I can’t wait to see this “Inclusively” extended to China, India, Brazil and others.

    We’ll truly be the most Inclusive ever!!! What a great thing!!!

      The open source / FOSS movement in China is pretty rad. I use a sweet all platform text editor maintained by Chinese devs only.

      People should be more wary of the control universities, NGOs, finance through those, law enforcement infiltration etc from US, Euros, Japan, South Korea, Aus has over open source projects due to technology being such a high national security priority.

      Guess we’re just going to be racist and run with the misdirection of criticism of US laws on to foreign enemies. Just go with the flow, I guess.

      If they really want reverse brain drain it isn’t my problem, it’s their long term problem. CERN is also making a dumb mistake, all universities are in on this, it’s imperial chauvinism.

        Fantastic to hear! wonderful news. Racists and Xenophobes will try to stop global collaboration, but the real conflict that matters will always be the smart vs the lowiq. FOSS is about humanity first and not any particular sub-category. Everyone who gets in the way is trying to divide and stop FOSS from saving the planet.

          I think at the moment FOSS movement has a core of libertarian idealism which historically cleaves to the west when anything is on the line. This is because of academic institutions being dependent on/greedy for financial and political backing, and the control of the time economy of workers by tech corps trying to turn open source into “mow my lawn for free, build character” or by the media platforms which popularizers/online tutors of open source tech and software and operating systems are dependent on

          However it is also a worker’s movement in some ways not just a device user’s movement, and I think it will play an important part in the battle over Wall St’s tech cash cow globally.

          Yes! Go on…

          real conflict that matters will always be the smart vs the lowiq.

          Uff… That’s some serious brainworms right there. How do you call your worldview? IQ Supremacy?

      I wouldn’t be surprised if they did something similar for China at some point. (If tensions worsen)

      I don’t see them doing anything outside of that
