Links for the day IRC Proceedings: Monday, May 29, 2023 IRC logs for Monday, May 29, 2023 MS (Mark Shuttleworth) as a Microsoft Salesperson Canonical isn’t working for GNU/Linux or for Ubuntu; it’s working for “business partners” (WSL was all along about promoting Windows) First Speaker in Event for GNU at 40 Called for Resignation/Removal of GNU's Founder It’s good that the FSF prepares an event to celebrate GNU’s 40th anniversary, but readers told us that the speakers list is unsavoury, especially the first one (a key participant in the relentless campaign of defamation against the person who started both GNU and the FSF; the "FSFE" isn't even permitted to use that name) When Jokes Became 'Rude' (or Disingenuously Misinterpreted by the 'Cancel Mob') A new and more detailed explanation of what the wordplay around "pleasure card" actually meant Site Updates and Plans Ahead A quick look at or a roundup of what we've been up to, what we plan to publish in the future, what topics we shall focus on very soon, and progress moving to Alpine Linux Links 29/05/2023: Snap and PipeWire Plans as Vendor Lock-in Links for the day Gemini Links 29/05/2023: GNU/Linux Pains and More Links for the day Links 29/05/2023: Election in Fedora, Unifont 15.0.04 Links for the day Gemini Links 29/05/2023: Rosy Crow 1.1.1 and Smolver 1.2.1 Released Links for the day IRC Proceedings: Sunday, May 28, 2023 IRC logs for Sunday, May 28, 2023 Daniel Stenberg Knows Almost Nothing About Gemini and He's Likely Just Protecting His Turf (HTTP/S) The man behind Curl, Daniel Stenberg, criticises Gemini; but it's not clear if he even bothered trying it (except very briefly) or just read some inaccurate, one-sided blurbs about it Links 29/05/2023: Videos Catchup and Gemini FUD Links for the day Links 28/05/2023: Linux 6.4 RC4 and MX Linux 23 Beta Links for the day Gemini Links 28/05/2023: Itanium Day, GNUnet DHT, and More Links for the day Links 28/05/2023: eGates System Collapses, More High TCO Stories (Microsoft Windows) Links for the day IRC Proceedings: Saturday, May 27, 2023 IRC logs for Saturday, May 27, 2023 No More Twitter, Mastodon, and Diaspora for Tux Machines (Goodbye to Social Control Media) People would benefit from mass abandonment of such pseudo-social pseudo-media. Links 28/05/2023: New Wine and More Links for the day Links 27/05/2023: Plans Made for GNU's 40th Anniversary Links for the day Social Control Media Needs to be Purged and We Need to Convince Others to Quit It Too (to Protect Ourselves as Individuals and as a Society) With the Tux Machines anniversary (19 years) just days away we seriously consider abandoning all social control media accounts of that site, including Mastodon and Diaspora; social control networks do far more harm than good and they’ve gotten a lot worse over time Anonymously Travelling: Still Feasible? 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
