Social Control Media is Going Away Gradually and People Need to Return to Self-Hosting, Blogs, RSS, Truly Independently News Sites
Social Control Media is about one company or few companies managing/herding lots of people and media outlets; we need to get away from that and the sooner, the better
Police Out of Control (or Oversight) - Part 10: A Month Has Passed, British Member of Parliament Snubbed by Action Fraud (UK Police)
The pension fraud at Sirius ‘Open Source’ (committed against programmers and sysadmins focused on GNU/Linux and Free software) has reached the political level; so far one can observe that politicians aren’t quite in control of the police or, contrariwise, the police enjoys immunity or exercises impunity because it simply doesn’t bother responding to politicians
What IBM Does to RHEL is Neither Surprising Nor Acceptable
IBM is stuck in the mindset of the 1980s and 1990s; it does not like the General Public Licence and, having been somewhat of a parasite on GNU and Linux since the mid-1990s, Red Hat (under IBM leadership/command) now pretends that Commons are inherently parasitic
Sceptical of Cancel Artists in Corporate Press
A combination of factors seems to be hinting at a 'call for blood', not just from IBM or IBM-connected press; voices of the community are being suppressed and this is being "sold" to the public as "protecting" us from "bigots"

[Image/Meme] If the Glove Fits. European Commission (Battistelli's Friend, Mr. Breton), the EPO's ****ing President, and Mr. UPC (Who Issues Threats to Techrights).
The UPC ‘Mafia’ did a photo op with António Campinos, who calls himself the “fucking president” (of the EPO) and Benoît Battistelli‘s old friend, Mr. Breton, who pushed forward illegal ratification of a kangaroo court for patents
[Meme] EPO Mansplaining to the European Union and Commission
Von der Leyen is learning a lot about the wonderful economic benefits and incredible legality of the UPC, constitutional challenges aside (they don't matter; see Poland)
EPO and EPC Violations: With Unified Patent Court (UPC), Even the European Union and Commission Are Fully Culpable
The European Union and Commission (EU and EC) are now becoming a central part of EPO scandals; this means they will have a lot of "explaining" to do in the coming years
Holding the British Government Accountable for Pension Fraud With Many Victims: The Next Steps
The crimes of Sirius ‘Open Source’ were exposed here some months ago and reported to British police (formally) 2 months ago; I had spoken to the police since around March, but waiting for official confirmation of the crime (from Standard Life) would strengthen the report (Standard Life also confirmed this to my colleagues, separately); at this point we’re showing that the police is, instead of serving and protecting the British public, is serving and protecting high-level fraud by negligence and inaction, be it deliberate or not
IBM/Red Hat Adds Code of Censorship to an Important GNU Project, GCC (the Compiler), Despite Longstanding Opposition From RMS and FSF (the Origins of GNU)
A Code of Censorship (CoC) has just been added as IBM's siege against community participation accelerates even further (they kick out Fedora volunteers this way since 2020 if not earlier); where does this end? IBM has been doing this step by step via what’s left of its Red Hat workforce (they also led the campaign of defamation against Richard Stallman, rms for short, who started GNU 40 years ago); They want RHEL to be another proprietary UNIX and all community either banished or simply driven away
I Did Yet Another Rebuttal to FUD Against Linux and SSH. But Microsoft FUD on a Microsoft-Sponsored Web Site Kept Crashing OBS Studio, So I Had to Record Thrice.
Microsoft-connected media is belittling severe issues with Microsoft and with Windows (like computers being remotely hijacked irrespective of passwords) while falsely portraying Linux and SSH as lacking in security because of passwords such as "login" or "abcdefghi"; to make matters worse, Microsoft-funded 'media' crashed my recording software (OBS Studio) twice in a row, resulting in lost work (no audio recorded)

Linux Foundation Has New Report About 'Open'... But It Uses Proprietary Software on Proprietary Platform
The Linux Foundation is like an animal charity where the administrators eat meat; they keep talking about “Open Source”, but nobody there seems to be adopting it; they’re just using “Linux” for openwashing and greenwashing, even for Microsoft

[Meme] European Union (EU) and Commission (EC) Talking a Lot About Poland, Not About the EPO, Which Obliterated the Rule of Law
The European Union (EU) and Commission (EC) discredited Europe by backing the EPO’s corruption and supporting the assault on the European Patent Convention (EPC), which even predates the EU
EPO Staff Points Out That as the European Patent Convention Turns 50 It is Grossly Being Violated by Corrupt EPO Management
The EPO's Central Staff Committee points out that the European Patent Convention (EPC) is still routinely being violated by Europe's second-largest institution and Europe's largest patent office, which is meant to be strictly governed by the EPC; The European Union (EU) and Commission (EC) do nothing to tackle this rapid departure from the rules of Europe, instead hypocritically deflecting to Poland
