(not saying that there shouldn't be calls for civility nor civility nor tone policing nor that online life can't have an impact on real life up to death. I'm *not* saying that.)

(I also don't mean it literally in most cases though I've enjoyed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inglourious_Basterds a lot.) So, yes, please be civil on Debian lists, or fuck off. -- cheers, Holger ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ holger@(debian|reproducible-builds|layer-acht).org ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ PGP fingerprint: B8BF 5413 7B09 D35C F026 FE9D 091A B856 069A AA1C ⠈⠳⣄ Nazi scum must die.
