EPO Steering Off the Road, Just Like the Drunken Son of António Campinos, Who Crashed the Car and Begged for Impunity
With the EPO rapidly turning into a corrupt dynasty of rogue politicians, lawyers and bankers (not scientists) we must turn to constitutions and treaties that they knowingly violate with impunity
Koch Operatives Working to Shape Patent Law in Favour of Monopolies and Oligarchs
Patent systems are being hijacked by monopolists and plutocrats for their financial gain and protectionism; it's a longstanding issue because it begets constitutional violations (glossed over by bought or installed "Justices", which is another creeping threat, especially in light of recent developments in the US Supreme Court and patently, manifestly illegal actions by Team UPC)
At the EPO, “Online” Means Microsoft Windows Only (“Unitary Patent” Also Limited to Microsoft Customers!)
The EPO's "special" (corrupt) relationship with Microsoft is a major liability for Europe; does one need to adopt back doors and US surveillance to interact with the EPO?
Microsoft GitHub Exposé — Part XXII — 'Mr. GitHub Copilot' Balabhadra (Alex) Graveley Pleads Guilty After Assaulting Women
Balabhadra (Alex) Graveley from Microsoft GitHub (the man behind the GPL violation machine called “Copilot”) has “pled guilty to get deferred sentence”

[Meme] President Crybaby
EPO President António Campinos, who constantly assaults the EPO’s staff, has portrayed himself as a poor victim of “hostile” staff (reversal of narratives)
People Are Very Angry That Campinos Was Left in Positions of Power Without Any Competition and in Spite of Failing to Fulfill Essential Goals
As predicted, people are infuriated by the decision of the Administrative Council to give Campinos several more years to destroy the EPO and its reputation (while moreover pushing a totally illegal and unconstitutional patent court system, which severely harms the image of the European Union)
Microsoft Windows is a 'Burning Platform' (Both on the Server Side and the Client Side)
'Burning platform' is a derogatory term from Microsoft's Elop; ironically, today's 'burning platform' is actually Windows, even if the corporate media isn't talking about that

It's 2022 and Installing Software in GNU/Linux Has Never Been Easier
GNU/Linux is easy to use and extend; the above demonstrates how new software gets installed, removed, and updated in KDE Neon
Sitting Down Less
Avoiding long periods of sitting down is important for one's health, especially in sedentary lifestyles or jobs
Microsoft Windows Market Share in Russia in 2022: Down From 55% to 50% in 5 Months
As June ends (last day today) let’s examine the rapid demise of Windows in Russia, even before the exodus media speaks of this week (an ongoing story)
European Patent Office is a Kakistocracy Illustrated
Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos aren’t just a “dark era” for the EPO; they might in fact be the end of the EPO, having made corruption the “new normal” or “new ways of working”
[Meme] EPO Rewarding Corruption Instead of Upholding the Law and Protecting the European Patent Convention (EPC)
Wednesday proved that the EPO actively guards corruption and protects Team Battistelli from scrutiny; instead of standing for patent law the EPO under António Campinos stands for overt violations of the law; national delegates are fine with it as long as they’re personally rewarded for complicity

Cautionary Tales About an António Campinos-Run EPO
The EPO is basically doomed under António Campinos because he abandoned the law for short term monetary gains (e.g. granting fake software patents under the guise of “4IR”), assuring the demise of the institution, which can no longer attract employees that meet the standard strictly required under the EPC, begetting outsourcing which only worsens everything
Sustainability of Crime at the European Patent Office (EPO), Europe's Second-Largest Institution
The Administrative Council of the European Patent Organisation has voted for corruption; it wants violations of the law to carry on for several more years and it all boils down to money (they get paid more if they support breaches of laws, constitutions, and treaties)
EPO is “Building a Team of C and D Players”
This pretty well describes what happened to the EPO under Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos
Corrupt António Campinos Bought Himself Another Term by Bribing Voters, Whom None of the Staff Trusts
The EPO has failed to shake off the cabal of Benoît Battistelli; his friend António Campinos has bought himself a second term, demonstrating just how dysfunctional the EPO became (pushing illegal and unconstitutional “reforms” while violating the EPC at every turn)
