Do not do this

@Gargron Do not do what what exactly, protest against the war?

@ruff Protesting the war is fine, but protesting the war in the west is also completely performative. Putin won’t change his plans because somebody in the west went to a rally or a celebrity recorded a touching message.

Turning your software package into malware that targets Russian civilians is pointless cruelty. They have no say over this war either, and it will hit the ones that are against it just as much. It already hit an NGO that documents Russian war crimes.

This war is happening because they have nothing to say.

@ruff Okay, you don't know what you're talking about, got it.
