Autocracy normalised
Summary: The godfather of Belarus has taken greater control of the “science park” in Minsk; this did not alarm EPO President António Campinos, the ‘other’ Orange Friend of Team Putin, who is “cool” with it (SaM is also “cool” with it)

What Else is New
Windows Not Dominant in US, China, and Many Other Countries Anymore
Microsoft is fast becoming less of a contender; hence there are many layoffs

This is Why Windows is Doomed: Over 60% of Web Traffic Comes From Mobile Devices (Where Microsoft is Near 0%)
Nowadays the dominant operating system is Android (which is powered by Linux); this new graph explains the rapid demise of Windows and revenue associated with Windows (sales of overpriced, energy-hungry PCs have fallen during tough economic times and soaring gas prices)
Moving From Ubuntu to Another GNU/Linux Distro Would Harm Microsoft (or Its Efforts to Control the Competition)
Canonical has been in bed with Microsoft for a number of years; the relationship deepens despite the fact that Microsoft is blocking GNU/Linux users — including Ubuntu users — from booting an operating system of their choice on new computers

Official Copy Detailing Crimes of Microsoft's Serial Strangler, Who is Trying to Strangle GPL Enforcement/Compliance With GPL-Violating Copilot
Violent sociopath Balabhadra Alex Graveley was arrested months ago (not that the media ever mentioned this!); He is Microsoft’s Chief Architect of GitHub Copilot and he came up with this idea, along with Nat Friedman (his “best friend”), which is clearly an attack on the GPL or other copyleft licences (Microsoft exercises control over GitHub to suppress such licences).
Inside the Minds of Microsoft's Media Operatives — Part VI — Lessons Learned on Moral Depravity
So-called 'journalists' who are in fact Microsoft spinners are a truly toxic bunch; they're allergic to truth and dangerous to truth-tellers; they're better off avoided and exposed, not informed (or shown hard evidence) because their covert allegiance means they're simply a trap rather than genuine agents of truth in reporting, thinly disguised as "objectivity" (to better parcel the lies Microsoft tells)
Jim Zemlin Giving His Talks on an Apple Mac Again? (July 2022)
Mr. “Big Shot” (no personal accomplishment but power broker for monopolies which privatise the Commons) can’t even deliver a keynote speech properly; Maybe he should try using Free software to make his presentations; the proprietary software he uses clearly isn’t reliable enough

How We Envision Information Flow on the Internet (and Offline)
We're no longer just a Web site; in fact, we encourage others to look beyond the Web, which despite the media not talking about it has rapidly waned (many sites have already turned into "apps")

IPFS at Techrights: The So-called 'Web3' Cargo Cult, Except With Some Practical Benefits
For censorship resistance’s sake we’re increasing our embrace or adoption of IPFS; almost all our archives are there
Techrights Site Migration to Alpine Linux Has Already Started
We’ve begun upgrading our systems and tidying up the growing piles of material
Microsoft Lost About 70% of Its Relative Share in the United States (for Operating Systems)
When mobile platforms are taken into account Windows suddenly seems vanishingly small; Microsoft therefore started blocking GNU/Linux from even booting on new PCs
The World Wide Web is Shrinking and Microsoft's Share in Web Servers is Down to Just 3%
Microsoft’s presence on the server side is just a niche. No wonder there are many Microsoft layoffs (about 20,000 staff) and Microsoft divisions are being silently shut down.
Warrant of Arrest for Microsoft’s Chief Architect of GitHub Copilot, Balabhadra Alex Graveley
GitHub Copilot has been criticised for a lot of things, but blogs and the press never ever mention the "social justice" aspects of the thing (because they simply don't care)
