Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent. States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

==| We have a network outage at our primary data center,
just about all the services we run are down. The problem
is upstream of our servers. There is no eta at this time
and we don't expect one at least until sometime tomorrow,
but hopefully it is fixed long before that.

If you're looking for something, grab it off a mirror:

https://web.archive.org/web/20240929102626/http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html

BTW: if you're exhorting others to contribute to GNU, why do you use
GNU software and _not_ contribute? What do you have to complain about,
freeloader, hmmm?

As far as I can recall, I've never made a cent of income using GuhNoo
software.

But I have enjoyed various GPL- or LGPL-licensed apps the last years:
Notepad++ (Windows only), SQLite Studio, Linux in WSL, PyQt, SumatraPDF
(Windows-only).

I have contributed a fair amt of testing (not prerelease) and bug reports.

Yourself?

www.gnu.org is back up. The world was a better place without it.
