You just put everything with a remote connection to Russia in one massive drawer. 1, 'don't play favorites'.Įspecially not when maintaining a repository like this.Īnd yes, I do think this is 'utterly stupid'.

This is just clear fanboy-ism over a different product.

Don't expect others to deliver evidence when you make bald claims like that but don't deliver evidence yourself.

While I understand that you want to to have some evidence, you also clearly seem to have no evidence that WinRAR does actively sponsor the war.

Instead of just criticizing me you could have provided some feedback, all you're doing it literally what you criticized me for, transfer of responsibility. I gave all the information someone should need to be able to base their decisions off of it or at least figure out what's going on/it is about, it's straight to the point.

I don't see a problem with either the title of the issue nor my explanation.

Responsibility transfer right in the title of the issue, missing the explanation how software or services can get excluded from the list, saying 'utterly stupid' etc. When maintaining a 'political' repo like this you should keep a clear mind/head and look at things from a neutral perspective.ĭo not make up assumptions and stop accusing people in that regard. I explicitly said that I don't support the war but that answer was to be expected as this is a pretty heated topic. That's honestly concerns me and you clearly haven't read what I said above.The OP sounds pretty much in terrorussian noisy narratives fashion too: noise I'm shocked but I have honestly kind of expected this., Where is the evidence? As a German company they pay German taxes. You make it sound like all of WinRAR's revenue is being used to sponsor a war. If this product is still used to sponsor terrorussia in whatever way, then it's in the right place. But please make a decision and don't play favorites, you're sending the wrong signals here.

But please update the description if OSS should not be included on the list.Īs I said above, I think you should either include everything that's Russian (absolutely stupid approach in my opinion) or don't. The latter is open-source and free, whilst the former is a commercial product (correct me if I'm wrong for these two). Maybe I should have been clearer, sorry for that. That's the only reason why I named the issue this. Either put 'everything Russian' on your list or don't, but don't play favorites.I'm kind of (not) surprised that the title of the issue says both 'WinRAR shouldn't be on the boycott list.' and '7-Zip should.'

The last phrase (for whatever reason by whoever put WinRAR into it) implies that WinRAR makes business in terrorussia.

L181: Companies will be moved to allow list if there's compelling evidence of them suspending operations in Russia.

There may be false positives, please create issues to fix them

L180: The list is still being verified.

Please read these last two lines from the very below of the list: The OP sounds pretty much in terrorussian noisy narratives fashion too: noise, responsibility transfer right in the title of the issue, missing the explanation how software or services can get excluded from the list, saying 'utterly stupid' etc. I have no idea how much affiliated WinRAR are the Roshals are nowadays, but if this product is still used to sponsor terrorussia in whatever way, then it's in the right place.
