The Debian Project nevertheless expects that all contributions submitted to Debian, regardless of how and with which tools they were produced, satisfy the same standards of quality, correctness, maintainability, and legal compliance.

You can tell Cody I will get ahead of him next. I can’t always be on the forefront when I see someone intentionally thwarting a law. It is the law that you cannot have 3D-printed guns in the state of New York. And if you think it’s okay to have someone in their kitchen who may have severe mental health problems who wants to shoot up kids in your school, make a ghost gun at their kitchen table or create a munitions factory where there was none, with no regulations, no background checks, no nothing, and people broadcast that as…

The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) has said countries are legally obliged to consider reparations for the harms caused by the transatlantic slave trade. Reuters reports that, in guidance published on Monday, the committee said states must provide broad reparations for the harms caused by their direct or indirect involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. This report comes five months after the UN General Assembly voted to recognise the transatlantic slave trade as the gravest crime against humanity. PREMIUM TIMES reports that Ghana had introduced the resolution to the assembly. It asked that the UN members consider apologising for the slave trade…
Today, I’m talking with New York Governor Kathy Hochul, and I’ll just warn you — this episode moves really fast. It’s an election year, after all, with a shocking amount of tech policy at stake, and Governor Hochul has taken strong positions on almost every major tech issue there is.For example, Meta just reached a settlement with dozens of states, including New York, which will restrict how teens use platforms like Instagram in very specific ways. Governor Hochul is a strong supporter of those restrictions and more, as you’ll hear. But those come with a cost — widespread age verification…

Incredibly, less than two months after that, the Bitcoin was deliberately destroyed.The wallet had been dormant for almost 12 years before it suddenly sprang back to life. Bitcoin educator Bennet noted it sent 20.00010537 BTC to “a custodian of some kind” before receiving it back again (minus $3 or so). “The whole balance went out to what looks like an exchange hot wallet, and almost exactly the same amount came back three weeks later. Seven weeks…
Days of Thunder actor Randy Quaid took aim at Anne Hathaway after she was cast alongside Tom Cruise in the film’s just-announced sequel. “Anne Hathaway is a leftist, woke, horrible choice for Days of Thunder[‘s] NASCAR audience who are MAGA. The sexy older chick for Tom in this film needs to be Nicole [Kidman]. That’s the casting that would sell the idea,” Quaid, 75, wrote via X on Saturday, August 29. A separate X post from the actor stated that “Anne isn’t sexy, because and if you haven’t noticed, she’s pregnant.” (Hathaway, 43, is expecting her third child with husband…
