DaemonFC[m]Anyway....little problems lead to bigger ones.Sep 18 05:30
DaemonFC[m]That black guy that got every gun crime ever got pulled over for having a taillight out and speeding.Sep 18 05:30
DaemonFC[m]I never have any lights out because I check them and replace and I always go about 5 miles an hour under the speed limit these days.Sep 18 05:31
DaemonFC[m]Technically they can pull you over for going too slow on a major highway, but you have to be going 15 mph under the limit, so the minimum speed limit in a 55 is 40 and in a 70 it's 55. Sep 18 05:33
DaemonFC[m]There's nothing illegal about going 50 in a 55 or 65 in a 70 as long as you are in the slow lane. Sep 18 05:33
DaemonFC[m]Think of the 5 mph buffer as a check against a poorly calibrated radar gun.Sep 18 05:34
DaemonFC[m]Or a speedometer in your car that's a little off.Sep 18 05:34
DaemonFC[m]You might actually be going 61 or 62 in a 60 and get pulled over by a cop because he wants to give you trouble. Had it happen.Sep 18 05:35
DaemonFC[m]Speedometer was at 60, right on the line.Sep 18 05:35

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-debian.community | debian-private archives leakedSep 18 09:38
schestowitz"Sep 18 09:38
schestowitzdebian-private is a mailing list including over 1,000 Debian Developers who all work in different companies around the world. To pretend this is a private means of communication is a farce.Sep 18 09:38
schestowitzThe former Debian Project Leader's girlfriend, Molly de Blanc, promotes whispering networks in her talk at FOSDEM 2019. Feminists have worked hard to eliminate terms like toxic woman. Sadly, de Blanc's antics have given the term a new lease on life.Sep 18 09:38
schestowitzDebian's public mailing lists include huge threads preaching about codes of conduct, such as this in December 2019. The mentality of operating debian-private and the things that leadership figures write there contradict all of that.Sep 18 09:39
schestowitzWhen the leaders of the organization and key figures in the cabal behave abusively in what they consider to be a safe space, it is completely unreasonable to be upset at other developers for the tone of things they write anywhere else. Human behaviour is often a good reflection of the leadership.Sep 18 09:39
schestowitzImproving leadership standards and diversity both require real acts of leadership and transparency, not Molly's call-to-gossip. The leaking of this particular material, if it is intended to undermine confidence in debian-private, could be classed as a leadership act.Sep 18 09:39
