This is a moot point for me, same as when "It's developed by China!"
Remove networking permissions from the Flatpak, run it in Firejail, hell, could even put it into a container if you really wanted to be sure
That’s very interesting. There’s a widespread boycott of any product with Israeli ties due to what the Israeli government is doing in Gaza, yet what Russia is doing is even more clear cut but this doesn’t register as a problem for most people here.
You couldn't get more "clear cut" than what Israel is doing. It's also a matter of degree. Invading another country is bad, but it is not a holocaust.
Besides, boycotting Russian products makes no sense in the West given that they are already sanctioned to hell. You'd have to go out of your way to send them money.
How is it more clear cut? What Israel is doing involves genocide, forceful expulsions, colonization and annexation. Gazans haven’t had running water or electricity for over a year now.
Tankies gonna tankie.
