The DEBUG utility was originally named DEBUG.COM in early versions
of MS-DOS, but it was renamed to DEBUG.EXE starting with MS-DOS 3.2

It's been so long since I've heard about Debug that I was afraid it was cancelled.
Mosquitoes are a vector that spreads disease-causing germs to a population. The proposed solution is to use different mosquitoes as different vector that spreads a different disease-causing germ to a different population.
They won't harm then it sounds like, but they'll not fertilize the eggs.
Eliminating mosquitoes sounds great to me on the surface, but I wonder if it will have any adverse effects on any plants that rely on them for pollination, or if it's expected that there are plenty of other insects ready to fill any void they leave.
I think for the releasing-sterile-mosquitoes angle, it's actually more interesting to me to use some kind of molecular clock, I think I read about a genetic modification that resulted in a generation or two of fertile males, but then the Nth generation is sterile as a result of the molecular clock unwinding.
(probably the other way around, but what's the fun in that)
The Krogans got punitively infected with the genophage to drastically reduce successful births after their rebellion.
Google Mosquitoes - Debugging Florida
Linus's LinkedIn indicates debug moved from verily to google in Dec 2024 (I missed this at the time). Debug was always a passion project (unlikely to make a huge amount of money compared to ads, AI, and cloud) and Verily's transition to something that lost less money probably required them to move Debug back to Google.
Unless there's been some new announcement that I don't obviously see here?

So...which areas is humanity native to?
Some previous discussion:

I might be an idiot.
Depending on how you define it, I could see "parts of Africa" as being "native" but that doesn't really help this discussion.
My favorite thing about WinDbg is that many people pronounce it "Windbag".
So, no, WinDbg has nothing to do with debug.com.
Its assembler is sadly stuck in the pre-x86_64 era (and refuses to do arm at all), however it disassembles all of those fine.
edit: I see I simul-posted with u/modeless, but I can't remove it now that there's a (duplicate) reply. Maybe mods can remove or at least collapse it. I'll check again in a few minutes if u/hackyhacky removes the reply, then maybe it allows me to remove this post
