Edit: The article is about Debian's packaging and distribution process.
It would be really interesting to understand whether Meta is playing an active role in blocking the use of Whatsapp for users with a particular country code, but who are currently outside the affected country (as some trending but unsubstantiated posts on LinkedIn/Twitter allege), or whether it really is that easy for a single government to block the service globally for a subset of its users.
Edit: apparently ranger has this feature, too.

takes you to the previous directory.A 2019 LA Review of Books article [0] gives Hardy quite some credit and concludes about the new translation by Boehm:
> Despite aspects that makes this a less-than-authoritative edition, the translation itself shines. It is a smooth, gripping read, and contains passages inserted after Hardy’s translation was made, which now appear in English for the first time. New details, such as the exact song sung by Rubashov’s neighbor in prison, add freshness. Boehm corrects the chapter titles from Hardy’s “The First Hearing,” “The Second Hearing,” and so forth to “The First Interrogation,” which makes more sense in context.

Both the German original and a new English translation have since been published.
> In general, people are sent to solitary not by a judge or jury, but solely at the discretion of prison staff. In many prisons and jails, solitary confinement has become a control strategy of first resort, although it has never been proven to reduce prison violence.
> Incarcerated men and women can be placed in complete isolation for months or years not only for violent acts, but for possessing contraband (including too many pencils or postage stamps), testing positive for drug use, ignoring orders, or using profanity. In some states, anyone who is believed to belong to a prison gang can be placed in solitary indefinitely. Other people end up in solitary because they have untreated mental illnesses, are children in need of “protection,” are LGBTQ, are people of color, are Muslim, have unpopular political beliefs, or report rape or abuse by prison officials.
