Kernel Developer Dmitry Monakhov Arrested For Protesting Ukraine Invasion

Posted by timothy on from the man's-inhumanity-to-man dept.

sfcrazy (1542989) writes, based on a report from Ted T'so, that Kernel developer Dmitry Monakhov was detained for 15 days for disobeying a police officer. The debacle came about when Monakhov decided to protest the recent invasion into Ukraine by Russian armed forces. Monakhov is using Twitter to keep people informed about his experience with the Russian judicial system; a human translator can probably do a better job than Google in this case.

    Can we get stories about when kernel developers go to the bathroom as well?

    This is hardly anything that matters or belongs on slashdot. Hans Reiser slaying his wife ... okay, sure, that meant the end of reiserfs effectively. One kernel dev serving time for a basic civil disobedience charge? Who cares? Its about as important as Bennett Hasleton rants about things he utterly fails to understand.

      Hey, guys, do you think if I include a a well demonstrated scientific fact in quotation marks, suddenly everyone will start believing in a global conspiracy with literally no point like I do?

      Science is news for nerds.
      The impact of major world events on technology is news for nerds.
      Petulant whining about what subjects you personally don't care about is comments for assholes.

      There are many theories and models of climate change, not one. Reputable mainstream scientists question parts of them and refine and change the models (e.g. warming in antarctic via volcanoes or AGW). You probably have a very superficial knowledge of science yourself, not even up to the level of entry level college courses.
