You can install Linux on your machine and use it the same way you would use Windows or macOS. Or, you can look under the hood and take it as an opportunity to become a better coder. The choice is yours!
There’s one thing you should keep in mind, though: getting started with Linux might be overwhelming at first. But this feeling will quickly die down. And then, you’ll get to tinkering with the command line and fostering the curiosity that’s inherent to all coders.

Joel says pass the doochie
Hi list,
At the last minute, here's Mesa 22.1.0-rc2. By far the biggest set of changes here are in zink. There's also fixes here for nir, radv, dzn, intel, anv, core vulkan, r600, panfrost, core gallium, mesa/st, and some CI fixups.
Cheers, Dylan
git tag: mesa-22.1.0-rc2
With Mesa 22.1 RC1 firmly out the door, most eyes have turned towards Mesa 22.2.
But not all eyes.
No, while most expected me to be rocketing off towards the next shiny feature, one ticket caught my eye:
Mesa 22.1rc1: Zink on Windows doesn’t work even simple wglgears app fails..
Sadly, I don’t support Windows. I don’t have a test machine to run it, and I don’t even have a VM I could spin up to run Lavapipe. I knew that Kopper was going to cause problems with other frontends, but I didn’t know how many other frontends were actually being used.
The answer was not zero, unfortunately. Plenty of users were enjoying the slow, software driver speed of Zink on Windows to spin those gears, and I had just crushed their dreams.
Remember Monkey Island and Tomb Raider 1? yeah… wanna play it on GNU Linux? yeeeessss!
Discord is a cross-platform VoIP and chat app for gamers that allows gamers to connect with each other for gaming purposes. It’s a great app for voice and text chat for gamers of all levels of experience, from the casual player who just wants to chat with friends during their next game, to the hardcore competitive player who wants to organize and manage their gaming sessions.
Discord has become in a relatively short amount of time the go-to chat solution among gamers. But that’s not the case anymore whereas it is rapidly expanding among non-gamers including computer science enthusiasts. The app is available on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac OS and Linux. Though the web version is also available it’s recommended to use the app.
Lutris is a game manager built for Linux operating systems, and it does its job incredibly well. It has thousands of games in its catalog and works with very little fuss, allowing you to install games from the cloud and keep them up to date. Most games are “one click install” titles, meaning that you shouldn’t have to worry about fiddling with extra configuration to get a Windows game working on Linux. It just works.
Lutris requires Wine in order to ensure a smooth experience. The two work really well together, and that’s because the developers of Lutris also work directly with Wine staging. Since the Lutris developers already program their installers to use the most optimal settings possible, there’s no need to fool around with Winetricks or any of the usual Wine configuration utilities.
If you’re ready to start gaming on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish, follow along as we setup Lutris and its dependencies on our system.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to install VirtualBox Extension Pack on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish Linux. This software will allow you to extend some of the functionalities of your guest operating systems and the way you can interact with them from your host Ubuntu 22.04 system.
If you’re running Ubuntu 22.04 inside a VirtualBox virtual machine, installing the Guest Additions software will help you get the most out of the system. VirtualBox Guest Additions will give the machine more capabilities, such as a shared clipboard with the host system, drag and drop file transfer, time synchronization, shared folders, automatic window resizing, and more.
This makes copying data to and from a host system much more convenient. It also changes the virutal machine’s resolution automatically when its window is resized, so you do not need to change it manually. Guest Additions will work with just about any Linux distribution, but instrutions can differ because of dependencies and package managers.
In this turorial, we’ll be going over the step by step instructions to get VirtualBox Guest Additions installed on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish. With these instructions, it doesn’t matter what host system you’re using, as long as the virtual machine is running Ubuntu 22.04. This tutorial assumes that you’ve already installed your Ubuntu 22.04 operating system in the VM correctly.

Knowing how to list all user groups on Linux is a significant stride towards sustaining ownership and permissions. Since you can use several commands to list user groups, the command you choose depends on the depth of details you want to see.
For example, use the compgen command if you are only interested in names. On the other hand, you can customize the getent command to view extensive information about user groups.
This tutorial explains user management, listing users and their groups using several commands.
These commands should apply to any Linux distribution, including Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, Linux Mint, and others.
Cinnamon desktop environment is a Linux desktop environment.
Contrary to GNOME or KDE, it follows a more traditional desktop metaphor convention; it is more user-friendly specifically for Windows migrants because it features a Windows-like user interface, and that is the reason behind them preferring Linux Mint over other distros.
Also, you can customize the environment using GTK theme, there are a lot of already built themes out there, and you can build your themes!
This article explains how to install Cinnamon desktop environment on Ubuntu 22.04 or 20.04.
One thing we can be sure about in Linux is that there is always multiple ways to do the same thing. Graphical applications get rewritten by new developers in newer languages all the time and we in the Linux community benefit by always having a secondary option. But we can always count on older classic applications to do the basic. Most of the classic applications are non-graphical using the command line.
In this article we are going to learn how to list all the fonts installed on your system using the fc-list command and explore a few of it’s options to help us filter through searches. fc-list is part of a library called fontconfig.

fzf is one of the most amazing utilities written for the command line in the last few years.
In Linux once you have gotten used to navigating the command line and discover fzf, you will never go back to not using it.
Keeping your system up to date is an essential factor for anyone from simple desktop users, developers, and sysadmins; let’s face it, anyone with a device primarily connected to the Internet. Ubuntu, by default, is not set up for automatic updates. However, by enabling and configuring unattended-upgrades packages, you can easily apply security, package, or even new feature upgrades if you do not always have the time to check or forget. IT is highly recommended to enable this just for security alone.

In the following tutorial, you will learn how to install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish by downloading the package directly from the project’s Github and installing it using the command line terminal. The tutorial will also focus on some common-use commands.
In Linux, the chown command is used to change the ownership of a file or a directory with another user in the system. The full meaning of the chown command is to change ownership. The chown command can be applied to a file or directory as a soft or hard link in the Linux file system. In every Linux operating system, each file is associated with an owner of a group. If you are not the particular owner who created or modified the file, you cannot change or modify that file from another user account. But with the help of the chown command, you can easily get access to a directory or a file that you want to modify.
Flask is an open-source web framework built with Python programming language. The software is a minimalistic, light, fast framework that doesn’t include ORM, form validation, and other third-party libs.

Flask is based on Werkzeug and uses Jinja2 as a template engine.
OpenSSH server is an implementation of the SSH protocol, which comes with a collection of networking utilities based on the SSH protocol. The SSH protocol is a secure protocol that encrypts all traffic exchanged between a client and remote host using strong encryption methods.
By default, the OpenSSH server comes installed in modern Alpine Linux systems. However if by any chance, the OpenSSH server is not installed, then this guide is what you are looking for.
Python is one of the most popular high-level languages, focusing on high-level and object-oriented applications from simple scrips to complex machine learning algorithms. Python is famous for its simple, easy-to-learn syntax, emphasizes readability, and reduces program maintenance costs and more straightforward conversion to newer releases. Python supports modules and packages, and one of the many is the popular PIP package manager.
Disk is getting full. When using du, I could see my MySQL log folder is taking up all the disk. These files are not mysql-bin files, instead, these are mysql-relay-bin files. How can I truncate or purge these files?
Mysql creates mysql-bin files which are called binary files for MySQL on the master side. It then streams the binary files to the replicas to reflect the changes. Mysql doesn’t really store the binaries on the replica side, hence it is safe to delete the relay-bin files. Although, there are other safe strategies to accomplish this or never fall into a situation of ‘out of space’.
Developers can create an Amazon EC2 instance to test software in a development or staging environment, or to deploy software to production. With Terraform, they can use code to streamline that process.
An EC2 instance is a virtual machine that runs in the AWS cloud. AWS manages the underlying hardware, which enables users to focus on the software they're running rather than infrastructure management tasks. Terraform is an infrastructure-as-code tool that enables IT admins and developers to programmatically provision infrastructure resources.
In this tutorial, learn about the benefits of Terraform, and how to use it to launch an EC2 instance in AWS.
Learn how to process the output of shell commands within a script and send it to files, devices, or other commands or scripts.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to uninstall the NVIDIA drivers on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish Linux, hence switch back to the open source Nouveau Nvidia drivers.

I've been going over the various things that have crept into my day-to-day computing and evaluating them. In some cases I've found things that needed maintenance (perhaps a future post about refactoring my mutt[1] configuration is called for), and in others I've taken the opportunity to evaluate alternatives.
Proton 7.0-2 comes two months after the Proton 7.0-1 release and adds support for the Atelier Ayesha, A Way Out, ATRI -My Dear Moments-, Baseball Stars 2, Bright Memory: Infinite, Call of Duty Black Ops 3, Double Dragon Trilogy, Devil May Cry HD Collection, Dragon Quest Builders 2, Fall in Labyrinth, Guilty Gear Isuka, INVERSUS Deluxe, King of Fighters XIII, Medieval Dynasty, Metal Slug 2, 3 and X, Montaro, One Shot: Fading Memory, and Saint Seiya: Soldiers’ Soul video games, which are now playable on Linux.
When you create a device that’s more open than the usual, you can expect good things to come from the community of tinkerers out there. This time, there’s an excellent initiative for theming, by tweaking the SteamOS interface to use different colors or looks with CSS rules injection (and probably more). Going boldly where no other handheld has gone before!
Finding games on GOG seems like it's steadily getting easier, with another update to their store out now.
After suffering losses, GOG continue to try and bring customers back to their store with a few tweaks to what they will allow on the store and a revival of Good Old Games — they've been improving how people search for and actually find games. This latest update is a continuation of that.
What they've done now is expand store filtering with 170 new tags for games. The way they've done it seems slightly different to Steam, which bundles tags and genres into the same thing. GOG on the other hand seem to have separated them like Adventure having it's own section but Point&Click just being a searchable tag. Game pages will have them, and you will be able to search using these tags now too.

If the 20220420 snapshot passes openQA, it might be released before this article publishes and push the number of snapshots released to four.
A little less than 10 packages were updated in the 20220419 snapshot. The most updates in the snapshot came in the 5.17.3 Linux Kernel update. A few KVM fixes were made for x86; there was also one for arm64 that makes sure an event filter isn’t changed. There were also about 30 Direct Rendering Manager changes in the kernel update. Wine applications using the JACK backend should no longer crash with the pipewire 0.3.50 update. The audio and video package update also had a change that ensures Advanced Linux Sound Architecture will now only allocate a buffer size big enough to hold four times the quantum limit instead of as large as possible. The update of the libnl3 3.6.0 package added Generic Routing Encapsulation and Virtual Tunnel Interface support for IPv6 and both yast2-trans and libstorage-ng 4.5.4 updated slavic translations.
If you're writing an application for Kubernetes and want to expose secrets for connecting, or binding, to external services such as REST APIs, databases, or event buses, you have traditionally needed to manually and custom-write the code for these tasks. This process can be error-prone and can slow down developers, and the community lacked a consistent and automated way to connect applications and services.
The Service Binding Operator (SBO) provides such a solution. In this article, you'll learn article how to use the Service Binding Operator to easily bind a Node.js application to Red Hat OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka.

As cloud-native architecture continues to rise, the adoption of microservices, although advantageous, can easily disrupt your continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. It’s more important than ever to stay on top of the critical success factors for software delivery. Each time a DevOps journey introduces advancements and practices, there is a new challenge to harden the software delivery process.
When IT leaders and executives think of digital transformation today, they may imagine adopting agile teams, updating their infrastructure, or building and deploying a new digital product or application. But digital transformation isn’t just any one of those things – it’s all of them and more.
Freed from the financial anchor that was its infrastructure services division - spun out as Kyndryl in November - IBM kicked off calendar Q1 of 2022 with something that has eluded it for years: decent growth.
Big Blue has undergone some changes as it adapts to modern computing in the cloud, and CEO Arvind Krishna said trading output this quarter reflects its actions - i.e lopping off a division that dragged down IBM's top line and sometimes ate into the operating profits of other divisions.
In this video, I am going to show an overview of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and some of the applications pre-installed.
The latest long-term supported Ubuntu release is here - Ubuntu 22.04 was released on April 21st. In this video, Jay will give you an in-depth look at this new release, including an overview of the new features, thoughts on the "snapped" version of Firefox, and also why Ubuntu's GNOME implementation this time around can best be described as "FrankenGNOME".
With the release of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS "Jammy Jellyfish", we have an updated desktop experience with custom features, and long-term support for three years. In this video, we'll take a look at the installation process. Nothing much has changed in the installer, but if you haven't seen what the process looks like yet, then this video is for you.
Ubuntu 22.04, code-name “Jammy Jellyfish”, is out! See what’s new in this Long Term Support (LTS) release!
Ubuntu 22.04 features Linux Kernel 5.15, GNOME 42 Desktop, New Logo, and tool-chain updates!
As part of an update to its Ubuntu operating system, Canonical has added Grafana Loki, Apache Kafka and Apache Cassandra container images to the portfolio of images to which it provides long-term support. Those images, along with one encapsulating Canonical Ubuntu 22.04 LTS edition of Linux, can be accessed via DockerHub.
The latest edition of Ubuntu also adds support for cloud confidential computing on the Microsoft Azure cloud, a real-time kernel for industrial applications, the Rust programming language, OpenSSL v3 cryptographic algorithms, and virtualization software on graphical processor units (GPUs) from NVIDIA.
Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth said this latest edition of Ubuntu will cement the company’s dominance of cloud computing environments where the company claims its distribution runs on more than 100 billion instances of virtual machines a year.
Canonical fleshed out its latest Ubuntu long-term support (LTS) platform, touting expanded security and functionality updates to its widely-used Linux operating system. Company CEO Mark Shuttleworth also dusted off the vendor’s planned initial public offering pledge that sat dormant through the pandemic.
Ubuntu is Canonical’s distribution system for Linux designed to run on computing devices, network servers, and in the cloud. The platform uses a naming scheme based on the year and month of the release, thus this latest update is dubbed 22.04. The release also earns an LTS designation, which signifies a larger platform release. The company is using a two-year cycle on these LTS updates, with the last one (20.04) released in April 2020.

If you were looking to install the latest Long-Term release Ubuntu-based distro that is light on system resources, Xubuntu 22.04 should be a good pick.
Since its initial release in 2016, I’ve been an admirer of Ubuntu Budgie. With its sleek visuals, fluid animations, and solid Ubuntu base, it covers all my needs.
Although it is relatively new compared to other Ubuntu flavors, it has already managed to gain a significant following.
Now, with Ubuntu Budgie 22.04 LTS, this level of polish has been brought to a whole new level.
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is an exciting release already.
While other Ubuntu-based distros should be getting ready to offer their latest versions based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu’s official flavors’ LTS releases have also landed.
Here, we focus on Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS, featuring the latest MATE Desktop 1.26.1.
The developers over at Canonical have been busy baking a yummy new version of Ubuntu recently, and following a brief beta period, it is finally time to take the open-source operating system out of the oven. Yes, folks, the stable Ubuntu 22.04 is finally here!
Code-named "Jammy Jellyfish," Ubuntu 22.04 is an "LTS" version, which stands for "Long Term Support." Yeah, that means exactly what it sounds like. The Linux distribution will be supported for a long time -- five years to be exact. Very nice.
Can’t wait to try Ubuntu 22.04 LTS? Well, it is finally available to download and upgrade.
It brings in a ton of impressive features, having GNOME 42 and Raspberry Pi desktop support as its key highlights.
Now that it is here. Let us take a moment to check out the most significant changes with this release before you decide to give it a try.
Ubuntu 22.04 is front-loaded with a wealth of improvements including a new horizontal workspace switcher and app launcher, new UI accent colours, RDP support out-of-the-box, and Linux kernel 5.15.
As the latest long-term support release this version of Ubuntu (which is codenamed “Jammy Jellyfish”) is backed by at least 5 years of ongoing support, security patches, bug fixes, and select app updates.
Which is pretty rad.
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS has finally been released. So, you can expect all of its official flavors to offer the latest and greatest soon after that.
And, the KDE flavour, i.e., Kubuntu 22.04 LTS is now also available to download!
You should expect all the feature additions of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and specially tailored improvements for the Kubuntu 22.04 release.
 Included as part of the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS release, there are the Kubuntu 22.04 LTS, Xubuntu 22.04 LTS, Lubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu Studio 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu MATE 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu Budgie 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu Kylin 22.04 LTS official flavors, which are packed with all the internal changes of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
On top of that, Kubuntu 22.04 LTS features the latest KDE Plasma 5.24 LTS desktop environment by default, which is accompanied by the KDE Gear 21.12 and KDE Frameworks 5.92 software suites, all compiled against Qt 5.15.3.
 Based on the upstream Ubuntu 22.04 LTS release, Ubuntu Unity 22.04 LTS is the successor to Ubuntu Unity 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) and the second long-term support release of this unofficial Ubuntu flavor featuring the good old Unity 7 desktop environment.
The biggest new feature of this new Ubuntu Unity release is support for Flatpak apps enabled by default. The Flathub repository is installed so you can install any Flatpak apps you want instead of native apps from the Ubuntu repositories. Also, the gtk3-nocsd issue has been fixed in this release.
For Canonical fans, the latest release of Ubuntu is now available with Ubuntu "Jammy Jellyfish" 22.04 LTS (Long-term support). Not only is it a carefully tailored GNOME experience for normal desktops, but this also marks the first LTS for Ubuntu to come with support for the Raspberry Pi 4.
"With Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, the entire recent Raspberry Pi device portfolio is supported for the very first time, from the new Raspberry Pi Zero 2W to the Raspberry Pi 4", said Eben Upton, CEO of Raspberry Pi Trading. "It’s great to see a certified Ubuntu Desktop release that includes support for the 2GB Raspberry Pi 4, giving developers all over the world access to the most affordable development desktop environment."
The Unity desktop environment was created by Canonical and once used as the default GUI for Ubuntu releases. It was later abandoned by Canonical and taken over by other maintainers. It remains available for installation today on the latest releases of Ubuntu, including Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish. The objective of this tutorial is to install the Unity Desktop as an alternative desktop environment on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish Desktop/Server Linux.
By default, Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish sports the GNOME desktop environment, or no GUI at all in the server edition. If you would like to change things up and install Cinnamon instead, the GUI can be downloaded and installed directly from Ubuntu’s package repositories. In this tutorial, you will see how to install Cinnamon Desktop as an alternative desktop environment on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish Desktop/Server Linux.
Cinnamon desktop is a fork of the GNOME desktop. It has a rather conservative design and is similar to Xfce. It is uncomplicated to learn and from this reason might be a good choice for someone who is new to Linux. It was created by the developers of Linux Mint and is the default GUI on that Linux distro.
The BGA socket is simply soldered on the board instead of the RAM chip itself, and as demonstrated on the MangoPi MQ Pro board, you could then insert the chip on the board instead of soldering it.
Allwinner A133 is also a tablet processor, but being launched more recently, it supports Android 10. I’m not so sure about Linux support. It’s listed on linux-sunxi website as a sun50i variant just like the Allwinner A64 that is well supported in Linux, but it does not have a page on its own. Again Source Parts has released a PDF datasheet for the system-in-package.
The explosive growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) is just one of several trends that is fueling the demand for intelligent devices at the edge. Increasingly, embedded devices use Linux to leverage libraries and code as well as Linux OS expertise to deliver functionality faster, simplify ongoing maintenance, and provide the most flexibility and performance for embedded device developers.

I'm not sure how to finish this post, so I'll just shout out "GNU tetris" a few times.
Alright. One small gripe about my job. We are attempting to transition our batch processing and Event Stream Processing from a centralized system (Mainframe) to a Distributed computing system.
Some time early in college I started playing acoustic instruments almost exclusively. It was just simpler that way. It's easier to practice and perform if you have simpler needs. Rather than trying to organize a "show" and haul gear around, we took to just busking and playing in outdoor public spaces. I also began wandering the planet at that age. A little ukulele or short scale acoustic guitar makes a much better travel companion than an electric + amp + pedals etc. Anyway, in the summer of 2018 we went to the Pentaport Rock Festival in Incheon. It was the first time I had been to a rock show in years, and I fell in love with electric guitars all over again. I had forgotten what it felt like to plug in and wail, and I wanted back in! Eventually I got my hands on a used Jazzmaster and have been in love ever since. I'd like to talk about this guitar tonight after having done a little work on it this evening.
A large industrial conglomerate is being forced to take increasingly desperate measures to satisfy their needs for chips, according to ASML, a manufacturer of chip-making equipment.
Talking on an earnings call this week with financial analysts, Peter Wennick, CEO at ASML, said that "width of demand" for chips was "significantly underestimated" by industry and: "I don't think that is going away."
TSMC founder Morris Chang, a key player in the semiconductor industry since its inception, thinks America's attempt to grow its domestic chip production will be "a wasteful, expensive exercise in futility."
Speaking on Tuesday as a guest of the Brookings Institution think tank, Chang said that the US chose a trajectory in the 1970s and 1980s that saw its manufacturing talent retraining for higher-paying jobs. Chang said that isn't necessarily bad for America, but it is a challenge for the US chip manufacturing industry, which, in his mind, simply doesn't have the fabrication talent pool needed to expand and succeed.

The parliament of Catalonia, the autonomous region in Spain, sits on the edge of Barcelona’s Old City, in the remains of a fortified citadel constructed by King Philip V to monitor the restive local population. The citadel was built with forced labor from hundreds of Catalans, and its remaining structures and gardens are for many a reminder of oppression. Today, a majority of Catalan parliamentarians support independence for the region, which the Spanish government has deemed unconstitutional. In 2017, as Catalonia prepared for a referendum on independence, Spanish police arrested at least twelve separatist politicians. On the day of the referendum, which received the support of ninety per cent of voters despite low turnout, police raids of polling stations injured hundreds of civilians. Leaders of the independence movement, some of whom live in exile across Europe, now meet in private and communicate through encrypted messaging platforms.
"Some letters that cybercriminals send to the recipients contain a malicious attachment," Kovtun wrote. "In other cases, it has a link which leads to a file placed in a legitimate popular cloud-hosting service. Often, malware is contained in an encrypted archive, with the password mentioned in the e-mail body."
Java versions 15 to 18 contain a flaw in its ECDSA signature validation that makes it trivial for miscreants to digitally sign files and other data as if they were legit organizations.
Amazon Web Services has updated its Log4j security patches after it was discovered the original fixes made customer deployments vulnerable to container escape and privilege escalation.
A now-former eBay security director accused of harassing a couple who wrote a critical newsletter about the internet tat bazaar is set to plead guilty to cyberstalking.
James Baugh, of San Jose, California, was charged with conspiracy to commit cyberstalking and conspiracy to tamper with witnesses, alongside six former colleagues in a baffling case brought in 2020.
YouTube has blocked the campaign account of Hong Kong's only candidate for the Special Administrative Region's (SAR) head of government, John Lee Ka-chiu, citing US sanctions.
Lee was selected by Beijing and is almost certain to replace current HK Chief Executive Carrie Lam, another Chinese Communist Party pick, after a May 8 election. At the election, 1,454 members of a committee dominated by pro-Beijing politicians and tycoons votes.
Lee, often referred to as "Pikachu" by the Hong Kong anti-establishment faction as it sounds similar to "Lee Ka-chiu," stepped down from his position as Secretary for Security in Hong Kong to run for the chief executive spot.
Today, after almost a year of delays, the European Parliament’s lead committees have published their Draft Report on the Artificial Intelligence Act (AI Act). Access Now welcomes the much needed addition of a ban on individual risk assessment for predictive policing — a dangerous and inherently discriminatory use of AI — but flags the troubling omission of additional prohibitions on location- and group-based predictive policing, emotion recognition, and other problematic practices that undermine human rights.
The Draft Report contains significant improvements for the protection of fundamental rights, in line with the recommendations of the joint civil society statement, An EU Artificial Intelligence Act for Fundamental Rights. These include the addition of rights for people affected by AI systems to lodge a complaint or seek judicial remedies, for public authorities to register their use of high-risk AI systems in a public database, and numerous improvements to procedures and enforcement. The rapporteurs have also resisted industry pressure to narrow the definition of AI systems or introduce loopholes for providers of “general purpose AI.” Unfortunately, civil society demands to include obligations for fundamental rights impact assessments, to fix glaring loopholes in the prohibition on remote biometric identification, as well as for broader transparency obligations, have been left out of this iteration of Parliament’s position.
Workers in Atlanta, Georgia, have become the first US Apple Store staff to file an official request to hold an union vote with America's National Labor Relations Board.
"A number of us have been here for many years, and we don't think you stick at a place unless you love it," said Derrick Bowles, Apple Genius and Communications Workers of America (CWA) organizer.
"Apple is a profoundly positive place to work, but we know that the company can better live up to their ideals and so we're excited to be joining together with our coworkers to bring Apple to the negotiating table and make this an even better place to work."
Following years of silencing critical dissent and rights advocacy, Vietnam’s ruling party is fortifying its censorship arsenal by piling more pressure on social media platforms through arbitrary, unachievable new regulations.
Yesterday, April 20, reports emerged that the government will be passing legal amendments forcing social media platforms to take down “illegal” content within 24 hours; block active “illegal” live-streams within three hours; and “immediately” remove content deemed contrary to “national security.” These extreme measures — which will reportedly come into force by July — must be revoked.
“Vietnam’s new amendments impose near-impossible time pressures on platforms to respond to take-down orders from the authorities, giving them no space to evaluate which ones they should push back on to protect free expression — and that’s probably the point,” said Raman Jit Singh Chima, Asia Pacific Policy Director and Senior International Counsel at Access Now. “Platforms will be pushed to ‘comply-first-evaluate-later’, which will ramp up censorship online.”
Today, the Federal Communications Commission voted to approve a Notice of Inquiry to promote more efficient spectrum use by improving receiver interference performance. Spectrum interference occurs when different spectrum users operating within the same band or in nearby bands utilize spectrum in a way that interrupts one another. Public Knowledge applauds the FCC for taking action to improve spectrum efficiency by considering all aspects of our telecommunications system.
The following can be attributed to Kathleen Burke, Policy Counsel at Public Knowledge:
“Most modern technologies from Bluetooth to Wi-Fi to cellular service use spectrum. Unfortunately, there are only so many bands of spectrum that these technologies can use. This makes it incredibly important to utilize our crowded airwaves efficiently while also avoiding interference issues between different spectrum users.
Today, the Federal Communications Commission voted to approve a Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to seek comment on proposals to bolster the effectiveness of the Wireless Emergency Alerts system. This WEA system allows federal, state, and local emergency management agencies to notify people about dangerous weather, missing children, and other critical public safety situations on their cell phones or other mobile devices.
The WEA system has been active for a decade, and in that time more than 61,000 alerts have been issued to the public. However, there is no consistent mechanism for the FCC to collect data on the WEA system’s technical performance, which hinders the agency’s ability to make improvements to the system. Public Knowledge applauds the FCC for taking this commonsense step to ensure it has the information it needs to continue to improve the Wireless Emergency Alerts system so that people can receive the critical, and often life-saving, information they need.
