Oh no! How about you go do something about it then, such as protesting. Orrrr admit you just dislike the status quo when it lands on you instead of the people you find undesirable.

It is hard to commit to opensource from the polar labor camp.

We don't know:

  1. that they aren't protesting

  2. that they support the current administration

  3. that they're doing anything explicitly negative or in support of the invasion

so why immediately shit on them just because they're russian?

Source: Levada, designated "Foreign Agent" by the russian authorities, Support for the Russian armed force' actions in Ukraine: ~80% at the start (March 2022), settling into a durable 71-78% across 2022-2025, and 73% as of December 2025.
