Familie Ozgeyikci soll bleiben!
Sie haben sich in Warsingsfehn ein Leben aufgebaut - nun droht der Familie die Abschiebung

Seit bereits 11 Jahren lebt diese Familie mit ihren 4 Kindern im Alter von 5 bis 12 Jahren bei uns und ist bestens integriert. Die Kinder kennen nur Ostfriesland als ihre Heimat. Die fleißigen Eltern sichern mit ihrer Pizzeria den Familienunterhalt ohne staatliche Unterstützungen. ⬇️

Debian to ship reproducible packages in forky and beyond

In a huge change in Debian’s reproducibility policy, the Debian Release Team announced that:

... we've decided it’s time to say that Debian must ship reproducible packages. Since yesterday, we have enabled our migration software to block migration of new packages that can’t be reproduced [on reproduce.debian.net] or existing packages in testing that regress in reproducibility.

That is to say, if newly-uploaded packages are not reproducible, they won't be considered candidates for inclusion in the next stable release of Debian codenamed forky. (Some exceptions may be granted.)

This news generated a number of articles and comments in various news outlets:

Beautiful photo of the lake!

My attempt at an image description: A view of crater lake looking down from the rim. The surface of the lake is still, and a very deep blue, reflecting the cloudless sky. Some conifers are in the foreground and Wizard Island is seen in the distance. Beyond that the steep slopes on the opposite side of the lake are reflected in the water's still surface.

(updated hashtags - always forget which ones to use!)

When I stopped at a crosswalk today this guy pulled up next to me, rolled his window down, and stuck his head out, and at first I was like

'Oh no street harassment here it comes.'

but then the guy was like

"DUDE! LOOK AT THAT HUGE RAINBOW BEHIND YOU."

The only appropriate thing for a dude to shout at me out a car window.
