[Video] Julian Assange Arrives Safely in Australia

[Meme] When Ian (of Debian) Was Still Alive

For those who don't know, Julian Assange was actually a Debian Developer (hence the past meme)

AS AN avid Debian user for many years it frustrates me (and also my wife, a longtime Debian user) that Debian isn't addressing this serious security scandal and is instead viciously attacking the carrier of the message, who has lots more coming soon and is also a developer from Australia (Melbourne). They try to discourage further publications about Debian insecurity blunders. They try to censor, not to answer.

Worse yet, a member of the Technical Committee at Debian is now viciously attacking Julian Assange. He's basically libelling him in Mastodon while he's having the audacity to sue my wife and I for libel. But he is just throwing stones in a glasshouse again.

Assange was good at Wikileaks because he understood the Net and could do encryption. Unlike the monkeys whom Microsoft pays peanuts to vandalise Debian from the inside with Mono and systemd, among other things.
