yandex is a russian company, so no, don't use it

I have bad news for you about where ClickHouse comes from then.

Do you boycott American companies too? I'm assuming you boycott Russian companies because Russia causes death and destruction. But the USA caused much more death and destruction than Russia ever did - do you boycott them too?

uhhhh

nginx is also Russian, so don't use... a third of the web.

[Yajirobe]

nginx was built by one person. I'm talking about a russian corporation that has (inescapable) ties to kremlin

Yandex actually split up because of disagreement with the Russian governement and the war.

If open source code can have political beliefs then the only reasonable solution is to live as a hermit.

I can guarantee that there is software on your computer written by communists, nazis, mormons, every single political ideology is represented by lines of code that you run every day, because open source doesn't require any political vetting to contribute.

There are probably even Mormons who post on HN...

Again, there's a difference between software written by a person that represents a 'bad' (to me) ideology, and software written by corporations in terrorist states.
