@hund I'm sorry but I don't see the problem, Russia has literally annexed a part of another country (something mostly unseen since the XIX century) and was sanctioned because of this. They can't buy food from Europe for instance but they should be able to use GitHub?
This is either an issue with all sanctions (whether they work or not, for instance), or not a problem at all, IMHO
@alan
India annexed Goa in 1961 in a very similar fashion and using similar reasoning. The UN responded much in the same way.
People make FOSS software so that whoever needs to use it can use it. I understand that MS can't violate sanctions, but I personally don't like any project I contribute to to be locked down by state level squabbles or disputes.

@mister_monster @hund great! So let's pressure the right target and go back to coding! Hint: Microsoft isn't the right target
The fun thing is that I agree with all of you, this is shitty. I'm only saying that perspective and the choice of target are very important
