Re: Debian sever ties with Google?

Guys come on what the hell. Since past few days all I have been hearing on this mailing list is endless arguments sparked by debian team pulling out of X.Since past few days you had been also bringing geo politics into open source space. We all know when microsoft decided to pull plug on windows , for our older systems and one who cannot afford buying new ones just yet cause it hadn't been that long when they first bought their system we have to end up relying on Linux that is our only hope when windows start slowing down approaching end of life period.Debian is literally open source so we can see what code is being put into it so it's no issues.

Don't bring geopolitics here yo'all forget why we joined this mailing at first place. iT was to know internal updates about debian and to see if we can contribute something to it. If debian team pulled off X , it's their choice. It was undoubtedly that x sometimes interfered with other country's politics and sometimes allowed hate speech but hey which platform didn't ? Even reddit was no less. When debian joined x they joined it to keep users informed about updates to Debian who are not in mailing list. We all hail from different parts of world and literally every country's dev contributes to open source. That's what open source is all about ,so how about we accept what happened and move on.

You mean, just like Intel CPUs and USA ? ;)
