“Ford’s pardon enabled Nixon to make this disgusting and false statement to David Frost in 1977:
“Well, when the President does it, that means it is not illegal.”
Nixon has never been castigated sufficiently for saying this.”

Baltimore Bombshell: Federal Court Rules Private School’s Nonprofit Status Leads to Title IX Coverage
The school asked the court to dismiss the lawsuit. It argued that it was not a direct recipient of federal financial assistance, which is a requirement for any school to be subject to Title IX.
Judge Richard Bennett from the District of Maryland denied the school’s request and cleared the lawsuit to proceed. He concluded that the school’s tax-exempt status, in and of itself, constitutes “federal financial assistance” for the purpose of Title IX and other similar statutes. “The tax-exempt status of a private school subjects it to the same requirements of Title IX imposed on any educational institution,” Judge Bennett said. “The school cannot avail itself of federal tax exemption but not adhere to the mandates of Title IX.”

PRIVACY
In Tails 5.0, we added Kleopatra to replace our previous PGP tools, the OpenPGP Applet and the Password and Keys utility, also known as Seahorse.
The OpenPGP Applet was not actively developed anymore and was complicated for us to keep in Tails. The Password and Keys utility was also poorly maintained and our users suffered from too many of its issues. We learned that 49% of our users used these tools from a survey on our website and couldn’t let them down. Daniel Moßbrucker gave us the idea of including Kleopatra.

FOOD SECURITY
Sick Codes has jailbroken a John Deere, and this is just the beginning. Turns out our entire food system is built on outdated, unpatched Linux and Windows CE hardware with LTE modems. John Deere has repeatedly told regulators that farmers can’t be trusted to repair their own equipment. This foundational work will pave the path for farmers to retake control of the equipment that they own. #RightToRepair
For anyone who wants the technicals:
– This took months
– CPU is NXP imx6
– OS is Wind River Linux 8
– Model John Deere 4240
– The weird graphical artifacts are just Yocto/QT quirks n 3D transparency stuff
– John Deere’s X window display server is g6wm
– Everything runs as root

Competition & Markets Authority on Twitter: “Our initial analysis found that for artists, 1 million streams per month could earn them around £12,000 a year. It’s as tough as it’s always been for people looking to make a living from their music though, with less than 1% of artists reaching this number of streams.

Bitcoin’s Privacy Problem—And What Cypherpunks Are Doing to Solve It
Wasabi Wallet is one project that makes use of the Tor network to encrypt communications. Tor is software that allows users to anonymize their internet traffic by sending it through a network of servers operated by volunteers. Wasabi, a desktop wallet, connects users to random Bitcoin peer-to-peer nodes, obscuring transactions so that it’s very difficult to know where money is going. In June, it released its latest wallet, Wasabi 2.0.
