It doesn’t infringe copyright or anything; it only serves or disseminates my own work (strictly) and it was working fine, without throttling, for a number of months. “That so-called ‘Big Telecom’ or ‘Big Tech’ seek to protect Big Business or Big Pharma from scrutiny is highly expected/predictable and hardly surprising.”Earlier this morning we pointed out how corruption (corporate crimes) is generally considered OK, whereas raising inconvenient questions about such corruption is just “toxic” and mostly impermissible (they would go to great lengths to censor such views, almost as if the problem is people who highlight abuse rather than the abuse itself). At the EPO, for example, Benoît Battistelli threatened litigation against published works that exposed EPO corruption and António_Campinos still blocks access to Techrights as if mere information about the EPO is a hazard. In this censorious climate, where those who break the law seek to muzzle their critics and exposers, it’s essential to pursue or resort to censorship- resistant means of communication (or medium that makes it abundantly hard to accomplish complete elimination of certain voices). Publishers need true platform autonomy. That so-called ‘Big Telecom’ or ‘Big Tech’ seek to protect Big Business or Big Pharma from scrutiny is highly expected/predictable and hardly surprising. There are many overlaps and they share many of the same interests. Peer to peer is the real ‘populism’ in that sort of context; it decentralises power and eliminates monopoly on control. In the case of the EPO, it has always been all about monopoly, but nowadays it is a lot more grotesque, with totally inadequate and unqualified managers who get the job (flown over, not even promoted) just because they’re like little fish swimming around the big shark. No, not Campinos or Battistelli but super- rich people and corporations that amass many tens of thousands of patents for no reason other than protectionism, in effect building some “legal barbwire” around their ‘franchising’ territory, ensuring competition is absent and thus prices remain artificially high, sometimes colluding with an illusion of competitors for price-fixing purposes. Of course this contributes to growing inequality and lowers the number of jobs available. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 130 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2021/01/31/fake-public-servants/#comments ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 01.31.21⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ ✐ When_So-called_‘Public_Servants’_Simply_Serve_Themselves_and_Their_Rich Sponsors/Friends⠀✐ Posted in Deception, Europe at 2:01 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link http://techrights.org/videos/Public-Servants.webm 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Biden vs Trump fake polls: I work for oligarchs; I am an oligarch!⦈ Summary: There’s increasing worry that people in “civilised Europe” are governed not by public representatives but political props of those who amass almost all the wealth and thus all the power THE EPO has long (for over a decade for sure!) been run by self-serving politicians like Benoît_Battistelli and António_Campinos. Prior to these two Frenchmen there was a so-called ‘public servant’ from the UK, who paved the way to illegal software patents “as such”… “In UPC, for instance, we’ve often seen so-called ‘public servants’ doing exactly the opposite of guarding laws and constitutions. They actively break or violate both.”One can barely see any real change. What is an ordinary citizen supposed to do when supposedly ‘independent’ so-called ‘public servants’ do such things? Shouldn’t they be governed by laws and constitutions? Shouldn’t the rules be paramount (supremacy of the law)? In UPC, for instance, we’ve often seen so-called ‘public servants’ doing exactly the opposite of guarding laws and constitutions. They actively break or violate both. Shamelessly and without any visible consequences to their political careers. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Beto and Biden: Sponsor Beto O’Rourke; Get corporate candidate ⦈ In the United States they have some pseudo-progressive_politicians covertly funded by bigoted oligarchs (not_just_misguided_masses) and some people vote directly for oligarchs. It’s astounding, isn’t it? 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Beto_O’Rourke’s_political_career_drew_on_donations_from_the pro-Republican_business_establishment⦈_ Two-party system. Sort of. The oligarchs win either way. So_much_for_true choice… In the case of the EPO’s direction, the leaders are generally ‘elected’ by shadowy interests working behind the scenes for large law firms and their largest clients (monopolies, usually not even European). In turn they ‘import’ a bunch of friends rather than qualified and experienced public servants. The same happens not only in the EPO but at many levels in many governments worldwide. █ ⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⠀⣸⡟⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⡾⠿⠗⣰⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

OpenForum_Europe_(IBM_et_al)_and_Linux_Foundation_Are_Boosting_and Cooperating_With_Enemies_of_Software_Freedom⠀✐ Posted in Europe, GNU/Linux, IBM, Patents, Red_Hat at 1:52 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link http://techrights.org/videos/OpenForum-Europe-Breton.webm Summary: IBM and its front group (OFE) give a platform to some truly dodgy people, whose interests deviate greatly from the ideals of Free software LATELY we’ve been writing a lot more than usual about Red Hat/IBM, seeing that more people now recognise we were right all along. The crackdown on CentOS (as if its users are ‘pirates’ or something) was an illuminating moment or a wake- up call to those out there who had long assumed IBM would promote Free software. We weren’t among those optimists, knowing the history, objectives and policies of IBM, including the patent blackmail (not to mention IBM’s aggressive lobbying against 35 U.S.C. § 101/Alice, a SCOTUS decision that defanged software patents, as well as pushback against the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) because inter partes reviews (IPRs) invalidate IBM patents). “It is also noteworthy that this IBM front group (OFE) along with the Foundation are openly liaising with corrupt officials who promote Free software-hostile policies.”Someone has brought to our attention this Linux Foundation/IBM ‘tag team’ act, sponsored by IBM to lobby the European Commission next_week. The ‘event’ (webinar) features IBM people and Benoît Battistelli‘s friend, Thierry_Breton, who has covered_up the many_EPO_crimes. He’s also pushing for software patents while António_Campinos is in Office, misusing laughable buzzwords like “HEY HI” (AI). That IBM and the ‘Linux’ Foundation are lobbying together ought not shock us. We’ve often spoken about Microsoft takeover of the Foundation, but one company that’s always a step ahead is IBM (many staff members in the Foundation have IBM background, more so than Microsoft). It is also noteworthy that this IBM front group (OFE) along with the Foundation are openly liaising with corrupt officials who promote Free software-hostile policies. What’s IBM thinking? 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Governor Schwarzenegger's Message Following this Week's Attack on the Capitol⦈ Then again, consider IBM’s history, which includes facilitating_Nazi_genocide and eugenics_in_the_US. Incidentally, someone from the EPO told us “that the EPO management is prompt [ing] to apply Godwin’s law…” Because how dare anyone compare a corporation of executives to Nazis? Even those that profited directly from it? “Heard from colleagues,” the EPO insider told us: “Do you know what NS stands for?, Hum, Nellie Simon!!” 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇OpenForum Europe logo⦈ Not “National Socialist”? Simon is from Austria, the country whose best known person was leader of the Nazi Party. Some say the second-well-known Austrian (albeit a person born after the war) is the person who recently_warned_about_autocrats,_having_been_abused_by_his_Nazi and_insensitive_father. It’s worth noting that OpenForum Europe is basically fronting for companies that aren’t European and it’s hardly the only organisation with “Europe” in its name but America (US) in its agenda. █

Posted in Deception, Free/Libre_Software, GNU/Linux, Kernel at 10:59 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link http://techrights.org/videos/linux-foundation-still-a-sham.webm Summary: More people ought to call out and berate the sham that the Linux Foundation became in recent years; it turned from pro-Linux into apathetic and even hostile — to the point of promoting proprietary software, fake security, mass surveillance and shameless posturing that exploits racial grievances for corporate propaganda [1, 2] IF people in charge of the Linux_Foundation (people who receive their salary from Microsoft!) push_to_outsource_Linux_itself_to_Microsoft_proprietary software_(GitHub) and when offshoots of the Foundation are being_put_at_the hands_of_Microsoft_staff (no kidding, here’s the_example_from_the_media, as mentioned in the above video) you just know that the Foundation is truly and completely defunct. It’s just a money-making operation (or greed machine) that has little or nothing to do with Linux itself. We’ve been watching_the_Linux Foundation_closely_for_14_years and we’ve never seen it as defunct as this. They lost track of Linux and got blinded with money, which they raise by openwashing surveillance, proprietary software, and ritualistic_Orwell resurrections. “Please do not ever assume that the Foundation cares about people or human rights or personal freedoms (such as software freedom). They only care about one thing: money.”The above video arose from a culmination of recent press reports and press releases from the Foundation, highlighting the immense and troublesome degree of Microsoft infiltration and proprietary software advocacy/ promotion (GitHub is just one among many examples). They’re sometimes hosting with Windows, they outsource to Zoom, and they use “Mac” PCs to create reports about Linux itself (the kernel). 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇#CancelFreedom⦈ As I point out in the video, if Linus Torvalds was to quit the Foundation and start his own thing (to escape the corruption of the Foundation and their “Speech Policing”), the Foundation would carry on, likely under some other and more suitable name. Maybe the Openwashing Foundation. Because that’s what it really is and what it formally became several years ago. As noted on the right, the Microsoft-funded SFC (connected to Linux Foundation) and the Microsoft-funded Linux Foundation both tried hard to cancel the founder of Free software and delete his legacy, basically exploiting his accomplishments to their own advantage (financial gain) while brushing him under some carpet. Please do not ever assume that the Foundation cares about people or human rights or personal freedoms (such as software freedom). They only care about one thing: money. They’re bossed and governed by greedy corporations and nobody nothing else (corporations are not people). Look no further than the composition of their current board. █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣠⣶⣦⡄⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣤⣄⣤⣄⠈⠻⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠂⠂⠀⠉⠉⠉⢉⣉⣋⣛⡛⠛⠙⢛⣿⣿⡿⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠘⡇⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⣀⠀⢸⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠂⠀⡠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠃⠀⣐⣲⢷⢶⠧⠄⣰⡿⣾⣿⠚⠀⠸⠤⢄⡀⠀⣀⣀⣁⡀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡶⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠐⡾⠒⡟⠒⠘⢻⣏⠛⠛⢉⠀⣴⠒⢺⡇⠀⣿⡇⢨⣿⠀⣾⠇⠀⠁⢰⣏⣀⣷⠀⢸⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠁⠈⠀⠀⠀⢀⡈⠥⠒⠁⠀⠙⠒⠙⠓⠐⠛⠃⠘⠛⠀⠙⠧⠤⠂⠘⠧⠀⠐⠀⠸⠇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⣿⡇⠀⣀⣀⠀⠠⠄⠒⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⡏⡙⣿⣿⣟⢉⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣧⣶⣶⠄⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⡛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢤⣶⡙⠃⠀⢸⡇⠀⡀⠃⣀⣀⣀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⣿⣧⠻⣿⣿⣯⡚⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣰⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⣠⣦⣾⣿⣧⠀⠀⠰⠀⣰⣤⣼⣿⣻⡇⠀⢸⡏⠁⠃⠀⣿⠇⠀⢰⡿⠀⠿⠄⣼⡇⢈⣷⠀⣾⠙⢹⡿⠀⣴⠊⠐⣦⠀⢰⡆⠒⣦⠐⣶⡄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣻⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣔⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿⣿⠁⠀⠺⠓⠂⠀⠀⠛⠂⠀⠈⢛⣤⣼⣶⣿⣧⣄⣔⡀⠻⠄⠸⠇⠀⠻⡀⣠⠟⠀⣾⡇⢸⣿⠀⣿⡇⣿⡿⢷⣜⣯⣿⣿⣮⣛⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣄⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⢫⡿⠙⠻⣿⠗⠂⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⣿⣇⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠻⠿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⡀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢾⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠏⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⡏⢠⡜⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⣀⣶⣶⣶⠶⠤⠀⠤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡟⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⠉⠛⠋⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠘⣯⣉⢩⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣆⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⡿⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⠻⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠛⣿⢿⡹⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠁⢻⢿ ⣀⠄⣴⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠙⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠠⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⠁⣸⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠿⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠘⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢛⢻⡟⡛⣿⡟⢻⣿⢛⡻⡟⣿⡟⣛⡟⡿⣻⣿⢻⢟⡟⣿⢻⢻⣿⢻⠻⣿⢻⣿⠿⠿⡛⠛⢻ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠰⢎⡇⡔⡿⣘⡊⢿⠸⢇⡇⠿⡇⠶⣿⢰⣿⣿⢠⡹⣇⠿⢸⢠⣶⢸⢸⡜⢸⣿⣶⣿⣿⡇⢸ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 637 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2021/01/31/stressing-freedom/#comments ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 01.31.21⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ ✐ Boycotting_the_Term_Open_Source_and_Speaking_About_Software_Freedom_Instead_ (If_and_Where_Applicable)⠀✐ Posted in Free/Libre_Software, GNU/Linux, OSI at 10:01 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link http://techrights.org/videos/burying-opensource.webm Summary: It seems apparent that more and more developers now realise that “Open Source” is a sham (and was likely a sham all along), so they reject the term and start speaking about Free software again, stressing freedom to confront corporate takeovers and manipulation We recently mentioned (many times in fact) that various Free software developers no longer use the term “Open Source”, perhaps seeing the_mess_that OSI_has_become and the sheer prevalence of corporate openwashing. “…I’ve persuaded several writers to write “GNU/Linux” instead of just “Linux”…”RMS was right. Moreover, over the years I’ve persuaded several writers to write “GNU/Linux” instead of just “Linux”, especially where that’s applicable (not purely kernel stuff). IBM et al tried to cancel RMS in 2019 (same year the Red Hat takeover was finalised and one year before effectively canning CentOS). They don’t want people to talk about stuff like software freedom (as opposed to some “open source” systemd on Microsoft servers in proprietary GitHub) and to cancel ideas, often personified albeit unwittingly*, they can work hard to cancel a person. The events of 2019 were preceded by over a decade of similar attempts to cancel RMS, usually by people who according_to_him “treated [him] like shit.” █ _____ * RMS did not call GNU after himself, unlike Linus Torvalds. “When I do this, some people think that it’s because I want my ego to be fed, right?

Have a look. o ⚓ 9to5Linux_Weekly_Roundup:_January_31st,_2021⠀⇛ This has been yet another great week for Linux news, releases, and whatnot. We have another critical Sudo vulnerability patched in all major distros, a new major Firefox release to update to with better privacy features, a new Nvidia graphics driver with support for Linux kernel 5.10 LTS, and new Linux kernel vulnerabilities to patch in our Ubuntu computers. On top of that, I’m taking a first look at the brand-new MX Linux Fluxbox edition and the Ubuntu 20.10 (Groovy Gorilla) operating system on the Raspberry Pi 4 computer. Of course, I’m also covering all the latest distro and software updates, so check them all out in the 9to5Linux Weekly Roundup for January 31st, 2021, below! o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ Read_Your_RSS_Feeds_With_NewsFlash⠀⇛ NewsFlash is a program designed to complement an already existing web-based RSS reader account, or you can use feeds that are stored locally. It has searching and filtering, tagging, vim-like keybindings and a refreshing, modern interface. # ⚓ Switching_from_Google_Photos:_what_are_the_alternatives?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Alan_Pope:_Late_Night_Linux_Extra:_14_–_Transcription⠀⇛ I was recently interviewed by Joe Ressington for Late Night Linux Extra episode 14. Here’s a transcription I typed up, which may be useful. I used an automated tool to create the transcription, then tidied it up myself. If you spot anything which doesn’t match the audio, and is materially important, do feel free to propose an edit on GitHub (link at the top of the page). o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux_5.10.12⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux_5.4.94⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux_4.19.172⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux_4.14.218⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux_4.9.254⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux_4.4.254⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux_Patches_Look_To_Restrict_Modules_From_Poking_Certain Registers,_Using_Select_Instructions_–_Phoronix⠀⇛ Last year the Linux kernel began tightening up the ability to write to select CPU MSRs from user- space. That restricting of user-space access to select registers was done in the name of security as well as not wanting user-space to accidentally or maliciously poke some MSRs that could cause problems with kernel behavior. Now in kernel space there are some yet-to-be-merged patches that would place some new restrictions on kernel modules around poking certain registers or using select CPU instructions. # ⚓ AMD_FreeSync_HDMI_Patch_Appearing_For_Their_Open-Source Linux_Driver_–_Phoronix⠀⇛ While the AMD Linux graphics driver for some time has been supporting FreeSync over DisplayPort connections, FreeSync displays connected via HDMI have not been supported. But now we are finally seeing the start of patches at least as far as HDMI pre-v2.1 support is concerned. HDMI 2.1 has Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) as part of the standard for reducing lag, stuttering, and frame tearing particularly while gaming. While HDMI 2.1 has the standardized VRR and many other features, HDMI Forum limiting specification access and what can be supported by open-source drivers has for now led to the lack of support there among the open-source Linux graphics drivers. The X.Org Foundation is trying to get the HDMI Forum to change course to allow for better open-source support, but anyhow what we are seeing with patch work that came out on Friday is for AMD’s vendor- specific FreeSync with pre-v2.1 HDMI. # § Graphics Stack⠀➾ # ⚓ Mesa_Continues_With_More_Optimizations_For Workstation_OpenGL_Performance⠀⇛ Well known AMD open-source driver developer Marek Olšák continues squeezing Mesa for every bit of possible performance, which in recent months has been with a seemingly workstation focus. In recent weeks we have covered big performance improvements for SPECviewperf with the Mesa/Gallium3D code. SPECviewperf is around modeling graphics performance for professional applications like CATIA, 3ds Max, Maya, Solidworks, Siemens NX, and more. Just a few days ago more improvements landed in Mesa benefiting SPECviewperf. While this weekend was the latest work of Marek going to mainline. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ The_15_Best_Linux_Music_Player_Apps⠀⇛ No matter which system you’re on, a high-quality music player is a must for every audiophile. If you’re looking for the perfect Linux music player, look no more. In this guide, we will outline some of the best music players for Linux machines. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Monitor_HAProxy_with_Grafana_and_Prometheus_ (haproxy_exporter)⠀⇛ We are going to install haproxy_exporter and configure Prometheus to monitor HAProxy servers. The haproxy_exporter service scrapes HAProxy stats and exports them via HTTP for Prometheus consumption. # ⚓ How_to_create_a_Web_App_launcher_icon_in_Linux_with_WebApp Manager_–_Real_Linux_User⠀⇛ More and more applications are being offered web based, which can be a good development as it makes certain applications available on platforms that were previously not in the scope of many commercial developers. With just a good web browser, nowadays there are suddenly many more applications in reach for us Linux users. Think of very popular applications such as Notion, Asana and Figma, which now can also be used by Linux users via the browser for your second brain-, planning- and web design needs. But even though these powerful applications are easily accessible by simply typing the web address in your browser, many of us prefer to have an app icon in our panel or applications overview that takes us directly to the web application, like with native applications. In this article I will explain how to create a Web App launcher icon in Linux with Webapp Manager. # ⚓ How_to_install_ProtonVPN_on_Linux_|_FOSS_Linux⠀⇛ A VPN, short for Virtual Private Network, creates an encrypted virtual tunnel and routes all the incoming and outgoing data through it. This helps to disguise your IP address and make your location invisible, even your ISP. As such, you cannot only stay reassured that no one will be spying on what you do online, but it also helps you access geographically-locked content. # ⚓ How_to_install_Room_EQ_Wizard_on_Linux_|_FOSS_Linux⠀⇛ Room EQ Wizard or REW is a room acoustic software that everyone in the music world obsessed with perfecting their sound engineering skills should try it out. It is a free java software application that performs room acoustic analysis. It measures and analyzes the responses of a room and a loudspeaker regarding the availed sound settings. Whether you are in the comfort of your home theater, music or film studio, or a customized listening room, you will want these sound environments to have the perfect acoustic responses. To achieve such an objective, REW will optimize these acoustics such that you can determine an ideal listening position or locations for your subwoofers and speakers. # ⚓ Linux_Desktop_Fun:_Bonsai_tree_generator_for_CLI_lovers_– nixCraft⠀⇛ onsai (盆栽) is nothing but planting in a try. It is old age Japanese art of growing small trees in pots. Now you can do that with your Linux or Unix terminal easily for fun and profit. Let us look into the Bonsai tree generator called cbonsai created in Clang and Bash. # ⚓ Install_MKVToolNix_53.0.0_In_Ubuntu_20.04_/_Fedora_|_Tips On_UNIX⠀⇛ This tutorial will be helpful for beginners to install MKVToolNix 53.0.0 in Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 20.10, and Fedora 33. MKVToolNix recently released a new version 53.0.0 and users are recommended to upgrade to this version, due to bugfixes and new features added to this release. As you know MKVToolNix is an open-source software to create, alter and inspect Matroska files. MKVToolNix is available to end-users as a graphical and command line. # ⚓ How_to_Remove_Bloatware_From_Your_Samsung_Android_Mobile Phone_–_LinuxConfig.org⠀⇛ Bloatware is a type of software which is installed by the product vendor (like Samsung) on top of the Android operating system in your mobile phone. But do you need all this extra software? The name clarifies; it makes your mobile bloated. Much of the utilities and services installed on your phone are simply not required, and at times may be annoying or consuming a fair bit of battery. Uninstalling a lot of these may buy you an extra day or two of battery power. # ⚓ How_to_use_SED_command_?_SED_with_examples_–_LinuxTechLab⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will learn how to use the SED command, with the help of some SED command examples. Sed command or Stream Editor is one of the most utilized utilities for Linux systems. It is mainly used for text substitution, find/replace operations & also other text manipulations like search, insertions deletion. We can also use regex or regular expressions with sed command, which further increases its usability. With the sed command, we can perform all the operations on a file without opening it. # ⚓ How_to_password_protect_a_directory_with_Nginx authentication_–_nixCraft⠀⇛ I need to restrict access to /app/ directory on Nginx. How do I set up password protect a directory with Nginx .htpasswd authentication on Linux or Unix-like systems? # ⚓ How_To_Install_Python_On_Linux_2.x/3.x_latest_version⠀⇛ # ⚓ Fedora_33_:_Roblox_and_Wine.⠀⇛ Because I tried to install this platform, I will show you what works and what doesn’t. At this moment Roblox Player cannot be run with Wine. I tested two ways to run it. # ⚓ Installing_Ubuntu_antivirus_[Guide]⠀⇛ Ubuntu is a rock-solid operating system compared to Windows. Security practices are more well-rounded (like only allowing software to be installed via password entry, etc.), and it’s overall a safer operating system for the average user. Even though Ubuntu is much safer to use than Windows, problems can still happen. Believe it or not, but you can catch a virus on Ubuntu. Thankfully, there are virus scanning tools for Ubuntu. In this guide, we’ll show you how to install them. # ⚓ Ubuntu:_Grub_repair_[Guide]⠀⇛ Do you have a Ubuntu Linux PC that you can’t boot because of the Grub bootloader’s problems? We can help! Follow along with this guide as we go over how to repair Grub. # ⚓ How_to_Set_Up_SSH_Tunnel_with_PuTTY_–_TecAdmin⠀⇛ PuTTy is a user-friendly SSH client for the Windows system. Most of the Linux system users are aware and use to connect remote system running SSH server. It also provides you option to create SSH tunnel to provide access to resource within the trusted internal network. With the help of SSH tunnel you can access resources available on other ports, which is not directly accessible from your system. Once you forwarded your localhost port to the port listening on remote network, you can directly access the the remote service by accessing configured port with localhost. The Tunnel provides you port forwarding from both sides. The first option shows you option to forward your local port to remote network to access there resources. You can also reverse the process and access resources of your local system from remote machine. # ⚓ Monitor_Bind_DNS_Server_with_Grafana_and_Prometheus_ (bind_exporter)⠀⇛ We are going to install bind_exporter and configure Prometheus to monitor Bind DNS servers. The bind_exporter service exports Bind service metrics to Prometheus. # ⚓ Installing_the_Interactive_Deep_Colorization_application_in Linux_|_Fitzcarraldo’s_Blog⠀⇛ There are plenty of articles and videos on the Web regarding colourising old black and white photographs. Some of the resulting colourised photographs look amazing. Several Web sites offer free or commercial automated colourisation of B&W photographs using AI (artificial intelligence) techniques. The free-use sites watermark the result or limit the size of the original image. Some of the resulting colourised images are reasonable, others not so good. Last year I scanned some 35 mm slides which are over 60 years old. The chemicals in some had degraded so much that the images are tinted red (‘redscale’ rather than ‘greyscale’!), too much to be able to fix using the GIMP. Out of curiosity I tried processing one of the scanned slides using some of the free online B&W photograph automated colourisers. The results in some cases were promising, alhough they would still require a lot of manual adjustment. # ⚓ Self_hosted_Virtual_Reality_space_with_IdeaSpaceVR_and Raspberry_PI_–_peppe8o⠀⇛ In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to install and configure IdeaSpaceVR on Raspberry PI and experience a fully customizable Virtual Reality environment hosted in your own small and cheap computer board. # ⚓ [Older]_How_to_Use_ADB_Android_Debug_Bridge_to_Manage_Your Android_Mobile_Phone⠀⇛ Mobile phones have evolved a lot over recent years, and we have seen several mobile-vs-desktop management solutions like Samsung DeX for Samsung Mobile phones, and only available for Windows 7 and 10 as well as Mac. As a non-Samsung or Linux user, one may feel left out. Not so! In fact, a whole lot more power can be provided by the ADB toolset from the Android developer team! This article will introduce you the same, and we have two followup articles which describe How to Mirror Your Android Mobile Screen to Linux and How to Remove Bloatware From Your Samsung Android Mobile Phone. o § Wine or Emulation⠀➾ # ⚓ Wine_6.1_Released_as_New_Development_Version_[How_to Install]⠀⇛ The new wine development version 6.1 was released with new features and dozens of bug-fixes. # ⚓ Wine-Staging_6.1_Released_With_Nearly_800_Patches_Blended Into_Wine⠀⇛ Building off Friday’s release of Wine 6.1 as the first development snapshot of the new series, Wine- Staging is out this morning with an updated release. Wine-Staging 6.1 is out with nearly 800 patches on top of the upstream Wine code-base. There are some 780 patches even after a number of patches were upstreamed into Wine recently. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ AMD_vs_Nvidia:_Are_Linux_Gamers_Switching_Yet?⠀⇛ Being part of the 1% market share, Linux users tend to be somewhat isolated. It makes it more difficult for all of us to actually get a good understanding of the dynamics at play in the market of hardware support and distributions. We typically have so few examples around us, and telemetry on various distributions is hardly reliable (non-existing or easily stopped). There are however some interesting patterns when it comes to hardware choices, as long as we can find some clues about them. Fortunately for us, we have the wealth of data present in ProtonDB to check things out. While it is primarily used for game reports across configurations, it can be used in many other ways, such as looking at the combination of hardware and software out there. There’s also the Steam Hardware survey, but it’s mostly useless as it lacks granularity to understand every user’s type of config. It’s only useful to see very large trends, or to make nonsensical click-bait titles about the evolution of the Linux market share, every time it shifts 0.1% up or down. As if it really mattered. Let’s nevertheless take a bird’s eye view about the hardware trends among Linux Gamers. Disclaimer first: this is the best data that what we have right now, having a single source is probably not ideal. But, short of doing large scale surveys among a larger population of Linux Gamers, this is what we are working with. # ⚓ Free_social_deduction_hacking_game_Untrusted_enters_Early Access_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ After a new online experience to play with friends and one that’s free to play? Untrusted is a new social deduction hacking game with two sides facing off. Now available in Early Access, developer evolvedlabs plans to keep it there until Q2/Q3 this year so they can thoroughly test it with players. Inspired by the likes of Werewolf / Mafia and other similar types of games with support for 10 to 16 players to join a game online. The idea is that hackers from the fictional NETSEC group are tasked in hacking a specific server on a computer network, while there’s a few AGENTS try to arrest them or convincing players to snitch on others. There’s a few ways to each side to win and it sounds quite interesting. # ⚓ Factorio_1.1_update_is_out_with_blueprint_flipping, performance_upgrades_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ A big feature players have been asking for a long time is now live in the Factorio 1.1 update, and it should run smoother than ever with big factories. Blueprint flipping is the big headline feature here, allowing you to pretty much copy and paste creations while also now flipping them around. They repeatedly said no on it but then they wanted it and so they hooked it up in a way that only allows it for blueprints that can flip properly (preventing giving you a bunch of broken creations). # ⚓ Steam_Festival_returns_February_3,_plus_new_Steam_Beta fixes_up_shader_processing_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Ready for another huge Steam Festival? It shall be returning with the Steam Game Festival, February 2021 edition. Plus there’s a fresh Steam Beta that Linux users will want to try out. # ⚓ Emmanuel_Kasper:_Playing_Tetris_over_serial_console⠀⇛ Today I played Tetris over a serial console connection, on a Vax 4000 running OpenBSD. I haven’t felt that 1337 since a long time. I am going to get rid of that Vax system though. If that’s your stuff, contact me privately. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Volker_Krause:_December/January_in_KDE_Itinerary⠀⇛ The end of your holiday break didn’t slow down work on KDE Itinerary, so we have a lot of news again since the last summary blog two month ago! [...] Technically this requires that we match external information about elevators/ escalators with OSM data, not unlike what we already have to do for railway platforms for example. This has the nice side-effect that it allows us to automatically correct common data issues on the way. # ⚓ KDE_Consistency:_Pick_a_task_for_February_and_blog about_it!⠀⇛ After some time of silence, the Consistency goal is coming back in style. The rush to complete all the great features in 5.21 (and there are lots of them!) is over; there’s a bit more time to breathe and get back to the goal. I have a proposal for everyone, developers and users: let’s work together this month and achieve as much as possible, to create a new wave of engagement: let’s all pick one task – no matter how big or small it is – and blog/ tweet/toot about it! We can use the #KDEConsistency hashtag. [...] If you are a KDE Dev you probably know how to do most of the above stuff already. You might only miss the idea of what to work on for the Consistency goal! Every Dev is different and I cannot put together a list of ideas that will spark something in everyone. I tried here (most tasks there are still valid), but it didn’t quite work. So it might just be up to you to find how you could contribute to the project: please, please take some time to go through the original consistency post and find something that sparks a light. When you found it, I’d love you to write a blog post about what you want to do about it this month. The task you decided might need more than a month: that’s fine, but everyone needs to start with something. Write the blog post and then send me the link. I can’t wait to see all the ideas you will come up with! # ⚓ When_you_get_stuck_you_give_it_time…⠀⇛ So not a lot of progress in the last few months, main reason being that wile I’m really happy with the style direction and art. I’m not so happy with the icon style.. its nice and all* but not great so i took some time to let ideas coalesce a bit better… # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ GNOME_Shell_Merges_Its_New_Horizontal_Workspaces⠀⇛ As part of work on GNOME 40, the GNOME Shell is seeing some big refinements like shifting of its workspaces to be horizontally laid out, which has now been merged. GNOME Shell mock-ups have been making some evolutionary changes to the desktop and that work is coming together. Merged on Friday to GNOME Shell is making horizontal workspaces. That code is now in place but follow-up improvements are expected. This goes along with making the dash and App Grid horizontal, various GNOME Shell Overview improvements, a new Overview gesture, and other UI/UX changes ahead of the GNOME 40 debut in March. o § Distributions⠀➾ # ⚓ JingOS_Alpha_is_Available_to_Download_for_Early_Testing⠀⇛ Don’t expect anything too polished at this stage. Devs say the JingOS 0.6 release is “not stable”, far from feature complete, and unsuited for use as a ‘daily driver’, i.e. consider it alpha quality software intended for use by early-adopters, willing testers, and canny developers only. But those excited by the emergence of this Ubuntu- based distro and it’s (rather swish) Qt/Plasma- based UX can now indulge in some hands-on experimentation. # ⚓ Best_Linux_Distributions_For_Everyone_in_2021⠀⇛ There are many Linux distributions. I can’t even think of coming up with an exact number because you would find loads of Linux distros that differ from one another in one way or the other. Some of them just turn out to be a clone of one another while some of them tend to be unique. So, it’s kind of a mess – but that is the beauty of Linux. Fret not, even though there are thousands of distributions around, in this article, I have compiled a list of the best Linux distros available right now. Of course, the list can be subjective. But, here, we try to categorize the distros – so there’s something for everyone. # § Reviews⠀➾ # ⚓ Manjaro_Architect_Installation_and_Review⠀⇛ Before we dive into a more intimate bond with the Manjaro Linux distro through this installation guide, how about we first make ourselves comfortably acquainted with it? Like many other Linux distributions, the Manjaro Architect brags about its free and open-source attributes. The Arch Linux operating system created the footprints that inspired its creation. From this developmental link, we can comfortably relate to Manjaro’s prioritization of its functional and architectural design on user accessibility and friendliness. Its straight out of the box design makes it easy to install, modify, and use its variety of availed pre-installed software. # § Screenshots/Screencasts⠀➾ # ⚓ Garuda_Linux_:_The_Next-Generation_Linux_Distro_Is Here_With_STUNNING_FEATURES_(_FOR_2021)⠀⇛ Garuda Linux is a Bleeding Edge Distro with Features and Advancements that are unseen in any other Linux Distro. Garuda is the Future of Desktop Linux. In this video, We’ll be having a look at this spectacular distro and the fantastic things it brings to the table. # § PCLinuxOS/Mageia/Mandriva/OpenMandriva Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Vivaldi_browser_updated_to_3.6.2165.34_»_PCLinuxOS⠀⇛ Vivaldi is a new web browser based on Chromium that is built by an Opera founder. # § IBM/Red Hat/Fedora⠀➾ # ⚓ Fedora_Community_Blog:_Fedora_@_FOSDEM:_how_you_can participate⠀⇛ This year, we are doing FOSDEM virtual style! Every year in Brussels, Belgium, the first weekend of February is dedicated to the Free and Open source Software Developers’ European Meeting (FOSDEM), the largest open source, developer-oriented conference of the year. As expected, the conference is going online for the 2021 edition, which gives us Fedorans the chance to learn, share, and spend time with each other and the greater FOSS community. We need your help in making this a fun experience for everyone! Fedora has a long history of attendance at FOSDEM (since 2006) and 2021 will not be an exception. We will miss seeing everyone’s faces in person this year, sharing a meal, giving IRL hugs… but, we are still excited to catch up with all of our Fedora friends, old and new! # ⚓ Is_Work-from-Anywhere_Here_to_Stay?⠀⇛ Remote work has been around for a few decades, but took off in the mid-late 1990s with the explosive growth of the Internet. There were predictions that the Internet would lead to the decline of cities, because technology was making location less relevant to our work and personal lives. Why would anyone choose to live in an expensive, stressful metropolitan area and endure a long daily commute? However, instead of declining, superstar cities continued to attract talented, ambitious knowledge workers, and to generate the greatest levels of economy activity and innovation. But, even before the pandemic, “a movement was brewing within knowledge-work organizations,” wrote Harvard professor Prithwiray (Raj) Choudhury in a recent Harvard Business Review article, Our Work- from-Anywhere Future. “Personal technology and digital connectivity had advanced so far and so fast that people had begun to ask, ‘Do we really need to be together, in an office, to do our work?’” “We got our answer during the pandemic lockdowns. We learned that a great many of us don’t in fact need to be colocated with colleagues on-site to do our jobs. Individuals, teams, entire workforces, can perform well while being entirely distributed – and they have. So now we face new questions: Are all-remote or majority-remote organizations the future of knowledge work? Is work from anywhere (WFA) here to stay?” # ⚓ Red_Hat_Expands_Free_RHEL_to_Quell_CentOS_Kerfuffle_| IT_Pro⠀⇛ Red Hat has expanded its free RHEL offering to 16 servers while allowing production workloads in an attempt to make CentOS users happy. # § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ ExLight_Linux_Promises_a_Pure_Debian_Bullseye_System with_the_Enlightenment_Desktop⠀⇛ It’s been more than a year since ExLight Linux received an update, the last release being published on November 2019 and based on the Debian GNU/Linux 10 “Buster” operating system series, and I realized that I never wrote about ExLight on 9to5Linux since the website was launched in January 2020. As its name suggests, ExLight Linux aims to be a lightweight GNU/Linux distribution for not so powerful computers. To achieve that, it uses the beautiful and unique Enlightenment desktop environment/window manager by default. # § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ [Linux_Mint]_Monthly_News_–_January_2021⠀⇛ Many thanks for your support. Just like in previous years, whether it’s linked to our release schedule or the holiday season, we received many donations this December. Thank you for your help, it’s greatly appreciated! Although it happened later than we anticipated, Linux Mint 20.1 had a great release. The upgrade from 20 was opened and all the new features and improvements which shipped in Linux Mint 20.1 were ported and sent to LMDE 4. We worked on and fixed a few issues post- release that had gone unnoticed through the BETA phase and we’re still investigating a couple of them in relation to plymouth themes with LUKS, NVIDIA resolutions and a slight delay during the login sequence. We also did a complete review of all the Cinnamon spices and we’ll be fixing, cleaning or even removing some of them in the days to come. In parallel, the new release cycle is now open, pull requests are being merged and a roadmap is being prepared for Linux Mint 20.2. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ OnLogic_Launches_Elkhart_Lake_Powered_Fanless_Computers⠀⇛ The Linux-friendly folks at OnLogic (nee Logic Supply) have launched a line of fanless, industrial-grade computers powered by Intel’s Elkhart Lake. # ⚓ K210_AI_Accelerator_Raspberry_Pi_pHAT_targets_secure_AIoT projects_(Crowdfunding)⠀⇛ Kendryte K210 is a dual-core RISC-V AI processor that was launched in 2018 and found in several smart audio and computer vision solutions. We previously wrote a Getting Started Guide for Grove AI HAT for Raspberry Pi using Arduino and MicroPython, and XaLogic XAPIZ3500 offered an even more compact K210 solution as a Raspberry pi pHAT with Raspberry Pi Zero form factor. The company is now back with another revision of the board called “XaLogic K210 AI accelerator” designed to work with Raspberry Pi Zero and larger boards with the 40-pin connector. # ⚓ Best_Single_Board_Computers_for_AI_and_Deep_Learning Projects⠀⇛ Single-board computers (SBC) are very popular with tinkerers and hobbyists alike, they offer a lot of functionality in a very small form factor. An SBC has the CPU, GPU, memory, IO ports, etc. on a small circuit board and users can add functionality by adding new devices to the GPIO ports. Some of the more popular SBCs include the Raspberry Pi and Arduino family of products. However, there is an increasing demand for SBC’s that can be used for edge compute applications like Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Deep Learning (DL) and there are quite a few. The list below consists of some of the best SBCs that have been developed for edge computing. The list is in no particular order of ranking. Some links here are affiliate links. Please read our affiliate policy. # ⚓ Snapdragon_888_Mobile_Hardware_Development_Kit_ships_with 12GB_RAM,_256GB_UFS_storage⠀⇛ Snapdragon 888 is the latest premium mobile SoC from Qualcomm with the octa-core processor combining one Cortex-X1 core, three Cortex-A78 cores, and four low-power Cortex-A55 cores, with Adreno 660 GPU and Snapdragon X60 5G modem. The processor will likely most be found in smartphones, but Qualcomm partnered with Lantronix to launch the Snapdragon 888 Mobile Hardware Development Kit designed for Android app developers, hardware vendors, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). # § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Arduino_Powered,_Dementia_Friendly_Media_Player⠀⇛ Making something to serve a purpose is often a fun thing. Though I haven’t made this, I have a spare Arduino UNO lying around but not a case to put it in. This is something that I have on my list of things to do for that special elderly someone. The more I think about this particular project, the more I want to do it but with a few changes. # ⚓ Arduino_Controlled_Ambient_Light_Chameleon⠀⇛ One of the greatest things about the information age is being able to see the seemingly endless creativity of the world’s makers, programmers and artists. Even cooler is when these different passions and disciplines come together to create something truly fun and exciting. There are countless examples of those and I should probably feature more but this one hit with electric joy on many angles. [...] This is a great time in history to be a technology enthusiast. There are so many fun things one can do to express their creativity and passions to spread a little happiness around. We should all make it a priority to spread smiles as much as possible. Life is short, after all. # § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ The_15_Best_Kodi_Apps_for_Android_To_Get_a_Better Kodi_Experience⠀⇛ # ⚓ Best_Free_Android_Apps:_Radioplayer_–_listen_to_a hundred_UK_stations⠀⇛ # ⚓ Our_5_free_and_paid_Android/iOS_applications_of_the week⠀⇛ # ⚓ Controversial_Google_Play_Store_change_will_let Android_users_access_banned_apps⠀⇛ # ⚓ Google_Maps_Street_View_gets_split_screen_UI_on Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ LG_Velvet_5G_receiving_Android_11_stable_update⠀⇛ # ⚓ Watch_your_favorite_shows_with_the_Hisense_75-inch_4K Android_TV_on_sale_for_$650_today⠀⇛ # ⚓ OnePlus_6_and_OnePlus_6T_seeing_work_for_mainline Linux_kernel_support⠀⇛ One of the perks of buying a OnePlus smartphone is the aftermarket development support. The company is generally known for its timely kernel source code releases (they have been slow at publishing sources a couple of times) and promotion of custom ROMs for EOL devices among other things, which makes it a fan favorite in the developer community. We often speak about devices outliving their generation by leaps and bounds, and now it looks like two OnePlus phones are about to achieve a similarly remarkable feat in terms of third-party development. It’s been nearly three years since the launch of the OnePlus 6 series, but if you still have a OnePlus 6 or a OnePlus 6T lying around, it may soon be possible to boot it with the mainline Linux kernel. # ⚓ Xiaomi_Mi_A3_finally_receives_a_safe_Android_11 update⠀⇛ # ⚓ [Recruitment_started]_Asus_ROG_Phone_3_Android_11 beta_program_kick-starts_today⠀⇛ # ⚓ Asus_Android_11_update_tracker:_Devices_received beta/stable_OS_so_far⠀⇛ # ⚓ Realme_opens_Android_11-based_Realme_UI_2.0_early access_program_for_six_smartphones⠀⇛ # ⚓ Xiaomi_Mi_A3_gets_another_“brick-free”_Android_11 update⠀⇛ # ⚓ Samsung_Galaxy_S21_Ultra_Review:_Is_This_the_Best_Big Android_Phone_Yet?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Google_is_rolling_out_grid_view_and_tab_groups_for Chrome_on_Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ 5_Android_apps_you_shouldn’t_miss_this_week!_– Android_Apps_Weekly⠀⇛ # ⚓ Understanding_Android_Malware_Families_(UAMF)_–_The Foundations_(Article_1)⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android_12_release_date,_rumors_and_what_we_want_to see⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android_12_might_bring_new_colors_and_themes_to brighten_up_your_phone⠀⇛ # ⚓ LG_Velvet_starts_getting_Android_11_(LG_UX_10)_stable update⠀⇛ # ⚓ Oppo_announces_Android_11_open_beta_update_for_Oppo Reno_2F,_Oppo_Reno_10x_Zoom_and_Oppo_F15⠀⇛ # ⚓ Can_Firefox_replace_Google_Chrome_on_your_Android phone?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Best_chargers_your_for_Android_phone_or_tablet_ [2021]⠀⇛ # ⚓ Google_Play_Store_will_soon_let_Android_users download_gambling_apps⠀⇛ # ⚓ The_15_Best_Kodi_Apps_for_Android_To_Get_a_Better Kodi_Experience⠀⇛ Kodi is a type of media player right now, gaining farm popularity around the world. You can use this software on your TV to enjoy access to thousands of media content. However, you must be thinking about what’s the big idea for your Android device, right? Well, addons for Kodi brings this simple software to a completely new level. However, if you are a Kodi user or planning to use it in the near future, you are just in the right direction. I am going to introduce you to some of the best Kodi Apps for Android, including both Kodi addon and remote control. # ⚓ Droid_Browser_wireless_control_of_your_Android devices⠀⇛ Optionally install GNOME Sushi and ScrCpy if available for you system to activate the preview and remote viewer functionality. # ⚓ Android_SDK_11_Rebuild⠀⇛ Android Rebuilds provides freely-licensed builds of Android development tools from a Mountain View-based company. o § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ # ⚓ How_to_teach_open_source_beyond_business⠀⇛ When I was a university student, I didn’t understand the fuss about open source software. I used Linux and open source software but didn’t really understand the open source model, how to contribute to projects, or how it could benefit my future career. My development experience consisted mainly of homework assignments and a large final project required for my degree. So, when I took my first steps in the tech industry, there was a big learning curve before I felt comfortable. I needed to understand how to join established, sometimes large, and distributed teams working on an ongoing project. I also needed to know how to communicate properly so that my efforts could be recognized. # ⚓ 3_wishes_for_open_source_productivity_in_2021⠀⇛ For many, many, many people, 2020 was a very difficult year. The pandemic, the various political events, the 24-hour news cycle, and so on took a toll on our mental well-being. And while I did talk about making time for self-care, I only touched on disconnecting—that is, turning off alerts, phones, tablets, etc., and just ignoring the world for a bit. One of the managers in my company actually told us to turn off all our work-related stuff if we had a holiday or a day off (unless we were on call). One of my favorite “disconnect” activities is just listening to music and building big, complex Lego sets. # ⚓ Bareflank_2.1_Released_As_The_Last_Before_A_Major_Rework_To This_Open-Source_Hypervisor⠀⇛ Bareflank is an open-source Linux hypervisor in development for several years and written around modern C++11/C++14 code and other modern functionality compared to longstanding virtualization hypervisors. Over the past few years it’s been picking up many new features while this week Bareflank 2.1 released prior to a major overhaul coming with Bareflank 3.0 that will radically change the codebase. Bareflank 3.0 has been in the works for more than one year and among the big ticket items are working to natively support Windows without relying on Cygwin, moving to the AUTOSAR C++14 coding standard, removing the need for dynamic memory where possible, new/improved documentation, and other new design approaches. In particular, with Bareflank 3.0 they intend to really ramp up their Windows efforts in seeing first-rate, native Windows support while Linux will continue to be fully supported. # ⚓ skiftOS:_a_hobby_operating_system⠀⇛ This looks remarkably advanced for a “hobby operating system”, and can be run in both Qemu and VirtualBox. This one is definitely worth a virtual boot. The code is licensed under the MIT license and available on GitHub. # ⚓ The_Open_Infrastructure_Foundation_announces_its_first board⠀⇛ For over a decade, the OpenStack Foundation oversaw the open-source OpenStack Infrastructure-as-a- Service (IaaS) cloud. Over time, the OpenStack umbrella covered more open-source projects. So, in October 2020, the Foundation transformed into a new organization: the Open Infrastructure Foundation (OIF). Now, it has announced its first board to help direct its members and their cloud-oriented open-source projects into the 2020s and beyond. # ⚓ Apache_Iceberg_rising_for_new_cloud_data_lake_platforms⠀⇛ The open source Apache Iceberg data project has moved forward with new features and is set to become a foundational layer for cloud data lake platforms. At the Subsurface 2021 virtual conference on Jan. 27 and 28, developers and users outlined how Apache Iceberg is used and what new capabilities are in the works. The Apache Iceberg project was originally developed at streaming media giant Netflix in 2018 and became part of the Apache Software Foundation in 2019. Iceberg provides an open table format for large data sets and is particularly useful for cloud data lake deployments. It is often compared to the Linux Foundation’s Delta Lake open source project, which has similar goals. # § Web Browsers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Firefox_85_Is_Released_With_Dismal_Out-Of-The- Box_Performance⠀⇛ Firefox 85 partitions network connections and caches in order to further prevent cross-site tracking and “supercookies”, it has fixes for 5 “high” and 6 “medium” impact security issues and support for Adobe Flash is dropped. Graphical performance is absolutely horrible out of the box, but it can be tweaked to perform decently using the hidden about:support settings page. [...] Web browser fingerprinting is still possible with the changes to the network architecture in Firefox 85. The changes only make it slightly harder to match someone’s fingerprint at site A to someone’s fingerprint at site B. Firefox 85 per-site partitions the HTTP cache, image cache, favicon cache, HSTS cache, OCSP cache, style sheet cache, font cache, DNS cache, HTTP Authentication cache, Alt-Svc cache and the TLS certificate cache. That makes it very hard to store web browser fingerprints client-side in Mozilla Firefox 85. It is still very possible to make a browser fingerprint, upload it to a server and match a persons visit to site A to a visit to site B that way. Still, it is a step in the right direction even though there is a real-world performance penalty on sites that load lots of content from commonly used content distribution networks. # § Openness/Sharing/Collaboration⠀➾ # § Open Data⠀➾ # ⚓ The_way_out_for_Google_Maps?_Supporting OPENStreetMap⠀⇛ I like OpenStreetMap (OSM), the Wikipedia-like “online map that everybody can edit”. However, I have to agree with Joe Morrison when he says that it is Google Maps that, “Since its appearance, has consistently created the best consumer-facing maps in the world: they are top of the class in turn-by-turn navigation, geocoding, satellite imagery layers, street level imagery, place data, and on, and on.” # § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Emacs_remote_file_editing_over_TRAMP⠀⇛ I often find myself developing software on remote machines; logged in via SSH to a workstation where all source code reside. For increased comfort, I like to have the same shell command for editing a file working regardless of host I’m executing it on. I use Emacs so emacsclient filename works locally but gets a bit tricky over SSH. Running the editor in a terminal is of course possible, but graphical interface provides minor benefits which I like to keep. X forwarding is another option but gets sluggish over high-latency connections. And besides, having multiple Emacs instance running (one local and one remote) is not the way. Fortunately, by utilising SSH remote forwarding, Emacs can be configured to edit remote files and accept server commands from within an SSH session. Herein I will describe how to accomplish that. # ⚓ Google’s_Pandemic-Minded_GSoC_Will_Be_A_Lot_Less Interesting_This_Year⠀⇛ While it’s sign-up time for open-source organizations hoping to participate in this year’s Google Summer of Code, GSoC 2021 changes in the name of the pandemic are leading some organizations to debate whether it’s still being involved with this student coding effort. One of the main frustrations from organizations with GSoC 2021 is that there are lowered time expectations for participating students, so in turn less large projects/work can be tackled. The pay is also lowered with the reduced time expectations and so in turn some very talented developers may find more compelling summer internships/ jobs elsewhere. Basically they dropped from the previous 350 hours to 175 hours per project and with that also halved the payout to students. # ⚓ Hammers_and_nails,_and_operator_overloads⠀⇛ Our familiarity with particular tools, and the ways in which they work, predisposes us in our judgement of others. This is true also with programming languages; one who is familiar with a particular language, but not another, might tend to judge the latter unfavourably based on perceived lack of functionality or feature found in the former. Of course, it might turn out that such a lack is not really important, because there is another way to achieve the same result without that feature; what we should really focus on is exactly that, the end result, not the feature. # ⚓ Uniwidth_typefaces_for_interface_design⠀⇛ Uniwidth typefaces, on the other hand, are proportionally-spaced typefaces, but every character occupies the same space across different cuts or weights. What this means in practice is that no matter which weight you set your text in, it will never change its length or cause text to reflow. # ⚓ GCC_11_Beefs_Up_Its_Static_Analyzer_Capabilities_– Phoronix⠀⇛ Added to the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) last year was an integrated static analyzer via the “-fanalyzer” option for spotting potential code issues. For GCC 10 this integrated static analyzer operating off GCC’s GIMPLE was in good shape for catching various bugs while for the upcoming GCC 11 it is now much more capable. Ahead of the GCC 11 release coming up in two months or so, Red Hat’s David Malcolm has blogged about the improvements he has made on the static analyzer for this annual GCC compiler update. # ⚓ 3_WAYS_TO_INSTALL_NODE.JS⠀⇛ Node.js is an event-driven and asynchronous Javascript runtime environment designed to build network applications and to run server- side Javascript applications allowing you to build applications using a single programming language. # ⚓ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_RcppDate_0.0.2:_Regular_Update⠀⇛ RcppDate wraps the date library by Howard Hinnant for use with R. This header-only modern C++ library has been in pretty wide- spread use for a while now, and adds to C++11/C++14/C++17 what will be (with minor modifications) the ‘date’ library in C++20. Since the original 0.0.1 CRAN release I have also added this package along with RcppCCTZ and nanotime (which uses / requires both) to Debian so an apt based install is also possible for some. # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Python_Print_Without_Newline_–_Tutorial_with Examples_–_buildVirtual⠀⇛ How to use the Python print function to print without a newline. Coming from working in another language, it’s a common question to wonder how to print two or more variables or strings on the same line using Python. Note that how the print function works in Python3 is different to how it works in Python2, so we will take a look at both in this article. If you’re only interested in one or the other, you can skip straight to the relevant sections using these links: # § Java⠀➾ # ⚓ What_are_concurrency_problems_and_how_to_avoid them_in_Java⠀⇛ Concurrency problems appear when your code is executed by more than one thread. Then, in contrast to a single- threaded execution, your code might behave differently depending on when and which thread accesses a variable. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Here_is_a_WONDERFUL_consequence_of_the_Parler_shutdown⠀⇛ A key personal policy of mine on Facebook (or any other social network) is to never remove any contact I make, no matter how, or how much I disagree with them. I need reminders, straight from the sources, of what people with different, or opposite opinions really say and think. And so do you, of course. Life is too short to waste it on what you assume the “other” side says and does. o ⚓ How_I_de-clutter_my_digital_workspace_|_Opensource.com⠀⇛ In prior years, this annual series covered individual apps. This year, we are looking at all-in-one solutions in addition to strategies to help in 2021. Welcome to day 20 of 21 Days of Productivity in 2021. I am a digital pack-rat. So many of us are. After all, who knows when we’ll need that email our partner sent asking us to pick up milk on our way home from work in 2009? The truth is, we don’t need it. We really don’t. However, large cloud providers have given us so much storage space for cheap or for free that we don’t even think about it anymore. When I can have unlimited documents, notes, to- do items, calendar appointments, and email, why shouldn’t I just keep everything? o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Slimbook_Essential_14″_Review⠀⇛ At the end of 2020 I decided to buy a laptop that could be used by everyone at home. The reason was my wife and I both have personal computers but they’re both desktops, sitting in our study together with our work laptops, which is where we prefer to be when we work from home. Due to the pandemic, we were afraid at some point in time one or both of our children would have to stay at home confined and, at least in the case of my son, would have to do some school-related activities on a computer. I couldn’t imagine one of us working in the same room where my son would be, talking to the other parent and using the computer. We needed a laptop that could be moved and easily carried around the house, and it could also be handy if we had to take our computer with us somewhere in the future. o § Health/Nutrition⠀➾ # ⚓ New_Surge_of_COVID_Is_Spreading_“Like_Wildfire”_in_Illinois Prisons⠀⇛ # ⚓ Little-Known_Federal_Volunteer_Unit_Remains_Underutilized for_Mass_Vaccinations⠀⇛ # ⚓ Congress_Took_on_Vital_Health_Issues_in_Last_Month’s Massive_Spending_Bill⠀⇛ # ⚓ Oxford_Pledged_to_Donate_Covid_Vaccine_Rights,_Then_Sold Them,_Thanks_to_Bill_Gates⠀⇛ I’m preparing a longer piece on the AstraZeneca vaccine from a technology standpoint, but I wanted to share this striking write-up here. Note the publication date: August 25, 2020. Neither the promise of at-cost sales nor the reneging on that promise made the news in the four months since this was published, at least nowhere near me. Wonder why. Note also the near-manic insistence on secrecy (“confidentiality”) regarding all of these pharma companies regarding price and other negotiations. These are profit-first, people-last organizations, and apparently always will be until the next Flood of Noah sweeps them away. # ⚓ Anti-vaccine_protest_briefly_shuts_down_Dodger_Stadium vaccination_site⠀⇛ Anti-vaccine protesters briefly forced officials to close the Covid-19 vaccination site at Dodger Stadium on Saturday as hundreds of people waited in their cars to receive doses, Los Angeles Fire Department officials said. The fire department closed the stadium entrance for about an hour in the afternoon while protesters attempted to enter the parking lot, where vaccinations were being administered. o § Integrity/Availability⠀➾ # § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Can_you_make_a_basic_web_app_without_googling?⠀⇛ I wanted to test my mastery of Node.js and my reliance on Google and Stack Overflow, so I set out on an adventure to make a todo list web app without touching any external resource for help. I just couldn’t do it. To be fair, I’m not a web developer so I’m not entirely shocked by this. I only have the itch (and time) to throw together a small web app about once every 6 months. But this got me thinking. How many people out there, especially professional web developers, can do this? It isn’t to say that you should be able to. But it is an interesting thing to study. At what point is relying on Google a detriment to the performance of a software developer? Or even deeper, does an over-reliance on documentation indicate a lack of critical expertise that will ultimately result in considerably lower job performance? And I don’t mean the need to look up an occasional command or an obscure error message. # § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ GnuPG_crypto_library_can_be_pwned_during decryption_–_patch_now! [Ed: Well, almost nobody uses this new version, certainly not GNU/Linux users. It was caused and caught shortly after release.]⠀⇛ Bug hunter Tavis Ormandy of Google’s Project Zero just discovered a dangerous bug in the GNU Privacy Guard team’s libgcrypt encryption software. The libgcrypt library is an open-source toolkit that anyone can use, but it’s probably best known as the encryption library used by the GNU Privacy Guard team’s own widely deployed GnuPG software (that’s the package you are using when you run the command gpg or gpg2). # ⚓ Business_executives_targeted_with_Office_365- themed_phishing_emails⠀⇛ An ongoing campaign powered by a phishing kit sold on underground forums is explicitly targeting high-ranking executives in a variety of sectors and countries with fake Office 365 password expiration notifications, Trend Micro researchers warn. The compromised login credentials are likely then sold on those same forums for $250 per account (or even higher). The compromised accounts can be used to send out even more convincing phishing emails, perpetrate BEC scams, or collect sensitive information. # ⚓ John_Goerzen:_The_Hidden_Drawbacks_of_P2P_(And a_Defense_of_Signal)⠀⇛ Brave adopting IPFS has driven a lot of buzz lately. IPFS is essentially a decentralized, distributed web. This concept has a lot of promise. But take a look at the IPFS privacy document. [...] In a federated model, every client connects to a server, and there are many servers participating in a federation with each other. Matrix and Mastodon are examples of a federated model. In this scenario, only one server — your own homeserver — can track you by IP. End-to-end encryption is certainly possible in a federated model, and Matrix supports it. This does give a third party (the specific server you use) knowledge of your IP, but that knowledge can be significantly limited. A downside of this approach is that if your particular homeserver is down, you are unable to communicate. Truly decentralized P2P solutions don’t have that problem — thought they do have a related one, which is that clients communicating with each other must both be online simultaneously in order for messages to be transmitted, and this can be a real challenge for mobile devices. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Brazil_Orders_Cos._to_Build_Separate_5G for_Government_Use⠀⇛ Brazil’s federal government will require winners of an upcoming 5G spectrum auction to build a high security wireless network for its exclusive use, according to an order published late Friday. The requirement is one of the new guidelines for the auction that the government is planning for 2021. # ⚓ Zuckerberg_Hasn’t_Convinced_Australia_to Back_Down_From_New_Law⠀⇛ Facebook Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg’s meeting with Australia’s Treasurer Josh Frydenberg in the past week did little to resolve the spat between the social media giant and the country over proposed changes to media laws. # ⚓ GnuPG_crypto_library_can_be_pwned_during decryption_–_patch_now!⠀⇛ Bug hunter Tavis Ormandy of Google’s Project Zero just discovered a dangerous bug in the GNU Privacy Guard team’s libgcrypt encryption software. The libgcrypt library is an open- source toolkit that anyone can use, but it’s probably best known as the encryption library used by the GNU Privacy Guard team’s own widely deployed GnuPG software (that’s the package you are using when you run the command gpg or gpg2). # ⚓ How_to_stop_Facebook_from_tracking_you_on apps_and_websites⠀⇛ Facebook was recently under fire for having access to a lot of user data than it really needs for basic functioning. There are a few ways to stop allowing Facebook to track your daily activities or data. You can turn off most of the permissions for Facebook that are not required for it to operate properly. For this, you just need to visit the settings section on your phone > Apps & notifications > Facebook > Permissions. Users are also advised to disable ‘Off-Facebook activity’ if they don’t want the social media giant to track the apps or websites they are using. Though, Facebook will still be able to get some of your data as third-party apps or sites share your data with Facebook as they use the company’s tools to track your usage. Facebook claims it will never ask third-parties to share health or financial data of users. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ US_and_Colombian_govts_supported_botched_invasion_of Venezuela:_Bombshell_testimony_from_coup-plotter⠀⇛ # ⚓ Opinion_|_Remembering_the_Islamophobic_Attack_on_Québec City_Mosque:_Why_Have_So_Many_Canadians_Forgotten?⠀⇛ The willful denial of anti-Muslim racism secures and maintains this national amnesia surrounding the 2017 Québec mosque massacre. # ⚓ Opinion_|_Death_Threats_Against_Public_Officials_Reflect Trump’s_Autocratic_Legacy._Reversing_GOP’s_Authoritarian_Turn Difficult_But_Essential⠀⇛ The heightened risk of widespread political violence symbolizes the depth of deterioration of democracy in the U.S. What happens next with the Republican Party, and its financial backers and supporters, will remake or break America’s democracy. # ⚓ Texts_Reveal_Trump_Campaign_Adviser_Helped_Plan_Rally Leading_to_Capitol_Breach⠀⇛ In the week leading up to the Jan. 6 rally in Washington, D.C., that exploded into an attack on the Capitol, a top Trump campaign fundraiser issued a directive to a woman who had been overseeing planning for the event. # ⚓ Trump’s_Antifa_Obsession_Drew_Law_Enforcement_Resources Away_From_Far-Right_Terrorists⠀⇛ According to agents and federal prosecutors who spoke to the Times, they felt “pressure” from the administration to find a radical left criminal conspiracy, despite the FBI’s increasing concern about the threat posed by the far-right. Meanwhile, the Trump administration denied agencies extra funding to pay analysts to search social media for potential threats from the far-right. But those threats became immediately apparent when the Capitol was attacked by Trump supporters, militias, and conspiracy believers on January 6. # ⚓ Republicans_are_no_longer_a_political_party._They’re_a mob⠀⇛ That mob wasn’t there to preserve democracy and “make America great again.” They were there to destroy it. You’ve heard the old saying that we are a nation of laws, not of men? Wrong. To that mob and the congressmen and women and senators they elected — to the entire Republican Party, for that matter — we are a nation of “not of men,” but of one man, Donald Trump. If that sounds like Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler, it’s because that is where we are. The attack on the Capitol was our Reichstag fire, our Kristallnacht. The offices they looted and the glass they broke was in the Capitol. But what they really broke was our hearts. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ ‘I_ask_you_not_to_believe’_After_reporting_threats_to_his lawyer,_Navalny’s_jailed_campaign_coordinator_in_Nizhny Novgorod_appears_in_a_strange_confession_video⠀⇛ In a strange video that started circulating on Russian social media on Saturday, January 30, Roman Tregubov, Alexey Navalny’s jailed regional coordinator in Nizhny Novgorod, announces his resignation from the movement and urges people not to attend protests planned for Sunday, when activists will gather in cities nationwide to demand the release of Navalny and his other jailed associates. # ⚓ In_crackdown_on_last_weekend’s_opposition_protests,_Moscow police_arrest_prominent_independent_journalist_Sergey Smirnov⠀⇛ Moscow’s police response to last weekend’s protests organized by Alexey Navalny’s activists has now led to the arrest of Sergey Smirnov, the editor-in- chief of Mediazona, one of Russia’s best-respected, most fiercely independent news outlets focused on criminal justice reporting. Officers arrested Smirnov on Saturday outside his home while he was on a walk with his son. At the time of this writing, Smirnov was being detained at a nearby police station. # ⚓ YLE:_Source_for_Navalny’s_‘Putin_palace’_film_resides_in Estonia⠀⇛ The 72-year old Sergei Kolesnikov was the primary source for Alexei Navalny’s corruption revelations last week. In 2010, Kolesnikov self-exiled from Russia, buying a one-way ticket to Turkey, from which he continued on to the U.S. According to Kolesnikov, he took with him a flash drive and documents containing, among other things, information about the financing of Vladimir Putin’s secret palace on the coast of the Black Sea. For Kolesnikov, unveiling sensitive information about the Russian leader meant having to exile and the businessman chose Estonia to be his place of residence. He has previously stated that he fears revenge from the Russian president, as many of his critics have been put in jail or murdered. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Opinion_|_Truth_Remains_Under_Siege_As_Long_As_Economists Promote_Discredited_Policies_That_Hurt_People_and_Gave_Rise to_Trumpism⠀⇛ In the natural sciences, strictly observed protocols ensure that empirically unsupported theories are rejected in light of evidence. The authority of an economic hypothesis, however, is bolstered by a peer-review process that—far from being scientific—is a value-laden power struggle. # ⚓ Opinion_|_GameStop_Saga_Reveals_a_Society_Dominated_by_Wall Street_and_Crying_Out_for_Change⠀⇛ How can anyone now argue—with a straight face—that our financial markets serve to efficiently move capital to innovating enterprises that make significant contributions to our social well-being? o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Text_Messages_Show_Top_Trump_Campaign_Fundraiser’s_Key_Role Planning_the_Rally_That_Preceded_the_Siege⠀⇛ In the week leading up to the Jan. 6 rally in Washington, D.C., that exploded into an attack on the Capitol, a top Trump campaign fundraiser issued a directive to a woman who had been overseeing planning for the event. “Get the budget and vendors breakdown to me and Justin,” Caroline Wren wrote to Cindy Chafian, a self-described “constitutional conservative,” in a Dec. 28 text message obtained by ProPublica. # ⚓ Sexual_Misconduct_Allegations_Prompt_Another_Alaska Attorney_General_to_Resign⠀⇛ Acting Alaska Attorney General Ed Sniffen’s abrupt resignation was announced Friday as the Anchorage Daily News and ProPublica were preparing an article about allegations of sexual misconduct with a 17- year-old girl three decades ago. Nikki Dougherty White, now 47, recently contacted the news organizations with a detailed account of how she and Sniffen began a sexual relationship in 1991 while she was a student at West Anchorage High School. At the time, he was a 27-year-old attorney with a local law firm and a coach of her school’s mock trial competition team. # ⚓ Opinion_|_GOP_Talking_Heads_Try_to_Score_Political_Points by_Stoking_Resentment_About_Accusations_of_Racism⠀⇛ Biden condemned white supremacy, so why are some Republicans disingenuously describing it as an attack on the entire GOP? I would like to assume that most Americans in both parties oppose hate groups and violence. # ⚓ Freshman_Democrats_Plan_Resolution_Calling_for_Marjorie Taylor_Greene_to_Resign⠀⇛ # ⚓ ‘There_Must_Be_Consequences_for_Her_Actions’:_Demands_for Marjorie_Taylor_Greene’s_Removal_Grow⠀⇛ “Marjorie Taylor Greene is a seditious, hateful, QAnon-supporting, racist, Islamophobic, anti- Semitic congresswoman and she deserves to be expelled from the House.” # ⚓ Stop_Trying_to_Make_This_About_“Unity”_—_There’s_No_Uniting With_Fascists⠀⇛ # ⚓ Billionaire_Arkady_Rotenberg_says_he_owns_Vladimir_Putin’s alleged_seaside_‘palace’⠀⇛ In a new interview with the pro-Kremlin media outlet Mash, the billionaire and longtime Putin associate Arkady Rotenberg says he owns the lavish seaside residence that a growing volume of investigative journalism attributes to Russia’s president. Rotenberg says it will be a hotel. # ⚓ Facebook_hires_first_chief_compliance_officer_amid regulatory_scrutiny⠀⇛ Moniz will work under Facebook’s general counsel Jennifer Newstead, according to the Journal, and report to a board committee that oversees audit and risk. Facebook reportedly hopes Moniz’s appointment will help the company move toward its goal of enhancing global compliance and risk management as well as promoting high standards of legal and ethical conduct. # ⚓ Facebook_Hires_Its_First_Chief_Compliance_Officer⠀⇛ Henry Moniz, who has been the chief compliance officer and chief audit executive at media company ViacomCBS Inc., will join Facebook on Feb. 8 to lead the company’s global compliance team, according to Facebook. He will be the first person to hold the compliance chief title at Facebook. Mr. Moniz will report to Facebook’s general counsel, Jennifer Newstead. He will also report to a board committee overseeing audit and risk, Facebook said. The company said his appointment would help Facebook continue to enhance its global compliance and risk management and promote the highest standards of legal and ethical conduct at the company. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Google_reinstates_federated_chat_app_Element_on_Play_Store after_wrongful_removal⠀⇛ # ⚓ Google_Play_bans_open-source_Matrix_client_Element,_citing “abusive_content”⠀⇛ The latest app to catch an illogical ban from the Google Play Store is Element, an open-source, end- to-end encrypted messaging client for the federated Matrix chat protocol. Google banned Element late Friday night, a ban which Element said “is due to abusive content somewhere on Matrix.” Matrix has millions of users, and as a federated chat protocol, Element does not control the content on Matrix, so this is a bit like banning a web browser for displaying web content. Element says it is working with Google to “explain how Element works and get the situation resolved.” Google has been cracking down on apps that display hateful content, but Element says that it shouldn’t be part of the crackdown. “We have also explained that the Matrix servers that we do run as Element (including the default Matrix.org homeserver, which we run on behalf of The Matrix.org Foundation) have strict Terms of Use which we actively enforce,” Element said. “We abhor abuse, and Element is not an app that caters to abusive content.” o § Freedom of Information/Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Editorial:_Meduza_stands_with_Mediazona_editor-in-chief Sergey_Smirnov⠀⇛ On Saturday, January 20, 2021, while on a walk outside his home with his son, police stopped Mediazona editor-in-chief Sergey Smirnov. They then arrested him and took him away from his small child.  # ⚓ Arjen_Kamphuis_Infosecurity_Book_Launch⠀⇛ Friends of Arjen have collected a selection of his writings and talks, as well as the text of his 2014 book “Information Security for Journalists” (2017 Dutch translation) that he wrote together with journalist Silkie Carlo. Friday they launched a printed version of that collection with the title. # ⚓ Arjen_Kamphuis_Infosecurity_Book_Launch_/_Art_Exhibition⠀⇛ Arjen Kamphuis was well known for his work on government transparency, and especially IT and online security. He e.g trained journalists on how to do their work more safely, and consulted various companies on their IT security. He also e.g. consulted the Dutch government in 2013 on why using voting computers is bad practice in an accountable democracy. Next to that he was an avid hiker and mountaineer. In August 2018, during a trip in the north of Norway he went missing, and is presumed to have died due to a kajaking accident. I’ve known Arjen through his work for well over a decade (and I’ve written about his disappearance here before). I’m sad about his disappearance, and as a result have been more active in paying what I learned from him and what he made me aware of forward since then. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Google_union_in_turmoil_following_global_alliance announcement⠀⇛ The Alphabet Workers Union (AWU) is in turmoil following the announcement of an international alliance on Monday. The alliance, Alpha Global, was billed as a worker-led initiative, but union members in the US say they didn’t know about it until The Verge published an exclusive. That piece included a press release quote from AWU executive council member Parul Koul, which she says she didn’t write. The news was an unwelcome surprise to union members who expect the Alphabet Workers Union to run democratically. Now, multiple sources tell The Verge that some AWU organizers are considering pushing the group to disaffiliate from the Communications Workers of America (CWA), a national union representing workers in telecommunications and media. AWU has also set up a committee to investigate CWA’s role in the announcement. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ IPO_Webinar_on_2020_Developments_at_the_PTAB [Ed: IBM front group fights against patent quality.]⠀⇛ Chris Comiskey of Collins Aerospace, Michael R. Houston of Foley & Lardner LLP, and Shaun Snader of United Therapeutics will discuss 2020′s major developments at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and how they may impact patent litigation practice going forward before the PTAB and beyond. # ⚓ ACI_Inaugural_Summit_on_Women_Leaders_in_IP_Law [Ed: Blackmail artists do the equivalent of greenwashing and pinkwashing. Attempts to double litigation volume and chaos, under the shallow guise or PR facade of fostering diversity.]⠀⇛ # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ DMCA_Takedowns_Remove_Perfectly_Legal_Plex_Pages_From Google⠀⇛ Millions of people use Plex as a platform to curate, organize, and watch video content. The service also allows users to create a watchlist of movies and TV-shows that are available through other platforms. This appears to confuse copyright holders and some have convinced Google to remove several Plex URLs from its search engine. # ⚓ Don’t_Be_Hostile_Towards_Pirates,_Game_Developer Warns⠀⇛ When content creators pour time and money into creating something they hope people will buy, it must be frustrating to see masses of pirates consuming those products for free. Nevertheless, a games developer is now advising companies with a perceived piracy problem not to antagonize pirates, since that only leads to stress and a toxic environment. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3100 ➮ Generation completed at 02:38, i.e. 219 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
