Agreed, he could have just stayed quiet, or explained things without as much personal bias

Oh man this Malibal... Lol I want to read about all his bans. Should team up with Lunduke! 🤣

The guy at Malibal has always been like this. He acts like a petulant child.

I generally lament this sort of action when normal people gets in the middle. No one would applaud taking similar measures against american artists or citizens because of Irak invasion, for example, let alone what's happening in the middle east. But in the end is understandable, I will not deny that. Torvalds assessments are inappropriate though

Imagine banning an entire country from buying your hardware because you had beef with one or two of their citizens 🤣. What is this business practice called 😂. Malibal must be run by a bunch of basement dwellers that desperately need to touch grass and get some sunlight, no sane person would behave like that in a professional setting. Nick, I really hope that you won't talk badly about Malibal in your videos, I wouldn't want them to ban France from buying their top notch hardware 😢 /s

Just read malibal’s T&C. I’m tempted to email them using my gmail, with the tag “Sent from iPhone” just to see what they say 🤣
