The Ministry of Digital Development plans to create its own Linux community, which will unite developers from friendly countries who will be ready to work with Russia. This decision is a reaction to the exclusion of Russian developers from the global IT community.
Among the countries that could potentially become members of the new community is China, which has made more progress than others in developing operating systems.

The builds are prepared for Linux and macOS. Additionally, the desktop client, web interface and console interface are being developed.

We have made some adjustments to how the SDK code is organized and packaged to allow you to build and run the app with only GPL/OSI licenses included. The sdk-internal package references in the clients now come from a new sdk-internal repository, which follows the licensing model we have historically used for all of our clients (see LICENSE_FAQ.md for more info). The sdk-internal reference only uses GPL licenses at this time. If the reference were to include Bitwarden License code in the future, we will provide a way to produce multiple build variants of the client, similar to what we do with web vault client builds.

Thank you to Bitwarden for relicensing a thing to GPLv3 License!
by this logic it turns out that the code quality control system is built in such a way that if someone has malicious intent and wants to add malicious code, but is not affiliated with dubious structures, then he will easily succeed? Hey, what about enough eyeballs and shallow bugs?
Linus set a very bad precedent without causing any real damage. Clearly he was "asked" to do it, but then he did it himself.
One day, Linus might become a traitor - a traitor to the people who followed him. And a traitor to the cause he served all these years. You were the chosen one! You were supposed to fight evil, not join it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_YozYt8l-g
Linus Torvalds Confirms Decision to Remove Maintainers from Russia
You couldn't come up with a more powerful spit in the direction of FOSS. And from Linus, who is now kind of showing f*ck to the entire community. Here you have freedom, openness and all that. Today they just wiped their ass with it, and by one of the founders.
This is the moment when the split politics, dirty ones from all sides, have penetrated into the very heart of OpenSource - into the Linux kernel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_YozYt8l-g
it's a pity that politics is penetrating more and more into open source and FOSS.
recently support for Russian cloud providers was cut out of opentofu. https://github.com/opentofu/registry/pull/824
now this. this is, of course, natural the core and many components of modern distributions have not been free in terms of decision-making for a long time and are under the influence of large companies, which in turn are under the influence of the USA.
for passwords no way, as you noted it is for calendars and contacts
besides everything else, the end of support for syncthing-android, yes, that's a real blow to the gut.
Mull was fixed in the DivestOS repository as early as October 17th, but to do this you need to add to F-Droid and reinstall Mull.
