Yes, you are right. I read a lot about European FOSS projects (and my own blog is member of a planet for german Foss articles). Migrating away from github has been a topic for a while in that scene now. First just because github is not Foss, then accelerated because of Microsoft, and Microsoft now mismanaging Github with ai bullshit accelerated it even more. Plus the push for independence of us services, Trumps imperialism is a big factor as well.
So absolutely not the start of the movement, but it seems to be accelerating more and more.
Some just ignore it and require using recent Vulkan (see for example dxvk and etc.). Do that. Ubuntu LTS isn't something you should be using for graphics dependent desktop scenarios anyway. Limiting features based on that is a bad idea.
They work for Putin's war, so they they should be treated as hostile navy anyway. They'd be lucky if they'll end up arrested and not blown up. Ukraine does blow them up already when opportunity presents itself.
If Putin was a rational actor he probably wouldn't be putting up WWI casualty numbers to capture podunk towns in east Ukraine that few people care about
Are you paid for it or you spread fascist koolaid for free? Either way, Putin's money is running out. So unless you are a propaganda zombie, you can forget about relying on your fascist boss.
Programming is a creative work. Replacing human creativity with pseudo parrot code generation impacts this process in bad ways. It's same reason many artists despise using AI for art.
Bean counters don't care about creativity and art though, so they'll never get it.
Good for artists I guess, I wouldn't know because I am not one. The best I can manage is drawing a stick figure of a cat. Years back I was working on a Mac app and I needed an icon. So I talked to an artist and she asked for $5K to make one for me. I couldn't justify spending so much on a hobby that I didn't know if it would go anywhere so I wrote a little app that procedurally generated me some basic sucky icon. I am sure Gordon Ramsay is also not impressed with cooking skills of my microwave, I just don't know how his objections practically relate to getting me fed daily.
