The short story is that in the UK it's still possible to travel anonymously by bus, tram, and train (even with shades, hat and mask/s on), but how long for? Or how much longer have we got before this too gets banned under the false guise of "protecting us" (or "smart"/"modern")? With EUIPO in Focus, and Even an EU Kangaroo Tribunal, EPO Corruption (and Cross-Pollination With This EU Agency) Becomes a Major Liability/Risk to the EU With the UPC days away (an illegal and unconstitutional kangaroo court system, tied to the European Union in spite of critical deficiencies) it’s curious to see EPO scandals of corruption spilling over to the European Union already European Patent Office (EPO) Management Not Supported by the EPO's Applicants, So Why Is It Still There? This third translation in the batch is an article similar to the prior one, but the text is a bit different (“Patente ohne Wert”) EPO Applicants Complain That Patent Quality Sank and EPO Management Isn't Listening (Nor Caring) SUEPO has just released 3 translations of new articles in German (here is the first of the batch); the following is the second of the three (“Kritik am Europäischen Patentamt – Patente ohne Wert?”) German Media About Industry Patent Quality Charter (IPQC) and the European Patent Office (EPO) SUEPO has just released 3 translations of new articles in German; this is the first of the three (“Industrie kritisiert Europäisches Patentamt”) Geminispace Continues to Grow Even If (or When) Stéphane Bortzmeyer Stops Measuring Its Growth A Gemini crawler called Lupa (Free/libre software) has been used for years by Stéphane Bortzmeyer to study Gemini and report on how the community was evolving, especially from a technical perspective; but his own instance of Lupa has produced no up-to-date results for several weeks Links 27/05/2023: Goodbyes to Tina Turner Links for the day HMRC: You Can Click and Type to Report Crime, But No Feedback or Reference Number Given The crimes of Sirius ‘Open Source’ were reported 7 days ago to HMRC (equivalent to the IRS in the US, more or less); but there has been no visible progress and no tracking reference is given to identify the report
