I'm sure Putin is reeling that he can't use an obscure package manager for his web projects

the idea is to anger the citizens so that they then turn their anger against Putin. it doesn't matter that Putin is not directly impacted.

I fundamentally disagree with the blockade. this moves makes this project incompatible with open source licensing.

if anyone is interested in this sub thread, it diverge from the discussion around the tool itself, but note that all the project standing for Ukraine in this manner are: - breaking one of the fundamental principle of open source - pretty risky to use. what if your locality also becomes block-listed. - demonstrates a poor judgment from their authors, who more often than not are reluctant to debate/reconsider their position.

Reactions to extreme circumstances can understandably be emotional, it doesn't imply that logical criticisms are necessarily insensitive.
