Indeed. Humour is subjective, but that also means we can completely ignore whether it's humour or not because it's not relevant. All that matters is intent, and here it was not part of some standup comedy where everybody knows it's an act that can be taken with a big grain of salt and stops at the door. This was clearly a long time ongoing campaign meant to push an agenda of hatred and harassment.

Seems like a good and fair punishment. The guy was actively and intentionally undermining democracy, spreading hatred and planning for creating conflict. He was and still is clearly a danger to society and people's safety and should be punished accordingly.

Debian sid is in the middle of a transition to 64 bit timestamps on 32 bit architectures. This requires a bump in all packages and an inconsistent repository is to be expected during this migration. Don't use dist-upgrade and always carefully read what apt is about to do.

See: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2024/02/msg00005.html and https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2024/03/msg00092.html

Also, consider the following best practices when using sid: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUnstable#What_are_some_best_practices_for_testing.2Fsid_users.3F

How about you travel there and bring whatever you have?

Or maybe just start by reflecting why you even felt the need to state your original comment and think 'yeah this is a nice and productive thing to say, that will help for sure'.

It seems like easy talk to imply people in Africa can just go die of thirst as you think their water now belongs to the elephants, all from the comfort of your chair thousands of kilometers away while your country is contributing a thousand times more to the destruction of the world than they ever will. And I can state this with fair certainty as pretty much every country in the world is doing worse. What was even the point of your comment? How about you give them your water as they deserve it more?

Pretty sure it's not poor people living in poor African countries that are destroying the world either.

The audit report actually pleads the CEO free from pressuring or interfering with the hiring process. To the contrary, according to the audit she had emphasised that the process must be followed fairly and she only referred him as a candidate (which happens often enough but anyone).

It wasn't corruption for once. Just the usual incompetence and/or laziness, or maybe they were trying to pander to the CEO which wouldn't be a surprise in a bootlicker company atmosphere.

Isn't the fine for the traffic violation? The compensation from a civil lawsuit will follow I presume.

This makes sense in my opinion. Violating traffic rules should result in the same fine regardless of whether you hit someone or not (like drunk driving isn't more OK just because you got lucky and didn't happen to hit anyone). But if you do hit someone, expect to compensate all costs and damages to that person or family on top of the fine (that goes to the state).

That said, I wish traffic violations would be fined much more harshly. Also if you didn't hit anyone during your reckless behaviour.

And names, I always rename those "My Company" apps to just "Company" so I can find them back in the list. That "My ..." stuff is so annoying.

And worse, they censored relevant paragraphs that had no reason to be censored at all to hide their corruption. It's criminal in my opinion.

Yeah perhaps, but in the US it's much more likely because of the FPTP election system. Splitting up the GOP would effectively wipe out any chances of getting elected for both sides so they stick together in the same party. No wonder BDW wants that system here as well, it would keep all the closet VB'ers in NVA.

I think the NVA is gonna tear itself apart between the VB'ers in disguise and the liberals. That party covers a way too wide spectrum to maintain.
