The world is watching and EPO President António_Campinos is very well aware of that. The way things are going, he’ll soon be even less popular than Benoît_Battistelli. Who knows, maybe he’ll even resign like Brimelow, albeit for different reasons… “This is going to haunt the EPO for years to come.”“There is the EBoA/EBA decision here,” one reader told us. “As you predicted, they rejected all the accusations.” Here it is as an image: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Dismissal_at_EPO⦈_ And some context from the registry 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇EPO_registry⦈_ Many people are watching this. Many people have read the series in Techrights as well. One reader asked: “Do you have any script to reconstruct entire PDFs from here?” (The registry above) Stay tuned. This fiasco of a case will be analysed for a long time to come. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇BoA fan⦈ “EPO made a JavaScript PDF reader called “Register Plus PDF viewer” if you look at the source code,” said the reader. “In some amicus brief, Pr Bros gave an opinion…” The hearing has not resumed yet, but the scandals continue to pile up. We are about to publish something of relevance over the coming day or two. It will be dissected after Friday’s hearing as well. Just to be very clear here, those blunders don’t concern just one single case or just the Enlarged Board of Appeal. They serve to demonstrate that all Boards of Appeal, including the ones who give the green light to European_software patents, are in effect kangaroo courts. Sometimes it’s just more visible (and blatant) than in most cases. This is going to haunt the EPO for years to come. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢻⣿⡿⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢹⣿⡿⠛⠛⠙⠛⢻⣿⡛⠻⢾⣛⣯⣕⡂⣙

The_Already-Weak_Impression_of_EPO_Lawfulness_(Under_António_Campinos)_is Over⠀✐ Posted in Europe, Patents at 6:02 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link http://techrights.org/videos/epo-independence-boa.webm Summary: EPO management is incapable of admitting that it has rigged patent cases; in fact, the management team is a bunch of clueless autocrats and by being so insistent and stubborn they’ve resorted to muzzling critics and even blatant rejection of facts WHAT happens at the EPO this summer is absolutely incredible. It is incredible that an institution of this stature and magnitude can get away with so many abuses, crimes, and corruption. It’s also a cautionary tale about diplomatic immunity. “Get ready as things are assured to only get worse.”As noted in the previous post, at this point they’re brewing a scandal on top of another scandal by trying to suppress/gaslight/censor critics, no matter the legitmacy of the arguments, which are well supported by concrete evidence. By doing so they cast themselves as enemies of freedom of expression, not just of justice. Get ready as things are assured to only get worse. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Scratching Horse⦈ No doubt the EPO is in shambles now (its reputation was never worse, not even under Benoît_Battistelli), but Team Campinos bribes the media and law firms are afraid to speak out, as the video points out. We saw nearly 100 puff pieces this past month, both about Campinos and the EPO. They cost a fortune (maybe around 10 million euros). They hope they can carry on granting loads of fake patents, including European software_patents, before something major happens and the Office is subjected to a “Great Reset”. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠻⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⠛⠛⠉⠛⠋⠉⠙⠍⠛⠀⠈⠀⠀⠈⠿⠛⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⠿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡇⢿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠉⠉⠉⠉⠈⠉⠁⠈⠙⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣨⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠢⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢠⡠⠐⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠊⠁⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⢀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠅⣘⠈⣀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢙⡉⣏⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡸⣟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 514 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 06.30.21⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ ✐ Links_30/6/2021:_Microsoft_Doing_Linux_Releases,_Linux_Foundation_Does_In- Person_Events⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 3:05 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Distributions o Devices/Embedded * Free_Software/Open_Source * Leftovers * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ # ⚓ Google_brings_Chrome_OS_Linux_support_to_Intel_6th_Gen ‘Skylake’_processors⠀⇛ Linux support for Chrome OS makes every Chromebook a much more useful tool, and now, the feature is finally headed to older Chromebooks powered by Intel 6th Gen processors, otherwise known as the “Skylake” generation. Google first launched support for Linux in Chrome OS in 2018 but only on select models and chip configurations. The list of supported models has grown considerably in the time since, but older Chromebooks using Intel 6th Gen processors have lacked support for Linux. As spotted by Android Police, Google has unceremoniously announced on the Chromium bug tracker that “All work to enable this has been completed.” That’s roughly 18 months after that thread was opened up by Samsung Chromebook Pro and Asus Chromebook Flip owners who were irked by their fairly expensive machines lacking support for the feature. o § Server⠀➾ # ⚓ Top_10_Best_Linux_Server_Distributions_in_2021⠀⇛ As you can see, each Linux distribution is unique and is customized and optimized for a certain task. If you want to go with a thriving community, then going with Ubuntu is the best option. On the other hand, ArchLinux and SlackwareOS are preferred by experienced users. Fedora and OpenSUSE are famous for their latest and cutting-edge features. While the RHEL and SUSE are the paid commercialized distributions used by the big companies like Google, Amazon, and other Fortune 500. So the decision of choosing the right Linux server just comes down to two things, i.e., personal preference and the task at hand. # ⚓ 85%_of_Enterprises_Have_Yet_to_Cross_the_Chasm_to_Full Kubernetes_and_Cloud_Native_Adoption,_According_to_Industry Global_Survey_from_Canonical⠀⇛ Despite high adoption rates of cloud native technologies in recent years, enterprises have yet to cross the chasm to full adoption, but they’re quickly moving in that direction, according to initial results of a first-of-its kind survey released today by Canonical, the publishers of Ubuntu. The Kubernetes and Cloud Native Operations Report, which is still open for participation, has surveyed 1,200 global IT professionals so far on more than 40 topics about their usage of Kubernetes, bare metal, VMs, containers, and serverless applications. o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux_5.12.14 [Ed: The infiltration continues; now Linux releases are announced by a Microsoft employee (Linux is "cancer"), salaried by Microsoft. They hijacked Git, now Linux.]⠀⇛ I'm announcing the release of the 5.12.14 kernel. All users of the 5.12 kernel series must upgrade.

As noted last month, P-State has begun preparations for Alder Lake with this driver needing to be reworked to deal with the concept of Intel CPUs having a mix of energy efficient and high performance CPU cores. In particular, Intel 12th Gen “Alder Lake” processors to feature a mix of Golden Cove cores for performance and Gracemont cores when needing energy efficiency. # ⚓ Intel_Media_Driver_2021Q2_Focuses_On_Gen12_Enhancements_– Phoronix⠀⇛ In preparing to close out the second quarter, the Intel Media Driver 2021Q2 was released today as the company’s open-source stack for supporting GPU- accelerated video encode/decode on Linux. The open-source Intel Media Driver is their modern VA-API implementation for offering video acceleration on Broadwell through all current generation Gen12 / Xe Graphics hardware for video encode/decode and processing. # ⚓ Linux_5.14_Ready_With_Light_Sensor_+_Human_Presence Detection_For_Newer_AMD_Laptops⠀⇛ The HID subsystem updates for Linux 5.14 continue improving consumer device support from newer AMD Ryzen laptops to multi-touch improvements. As covered recently, AMD posted their first big set of updates to the AMD-SFH Linux driver for “next- gen” support, their first sizable update since the Sensor Fusion Hub driver was mainlined at the end of 2020 for hooking up the sensor functionality on these laptops. That new support amounts to bringing up now previous generation Renoir (Ryzen 4000 series) laptop coverage and recently launched Cezanne (Ryzen 5000) series support. # ⚓ Radeon_Pro_Software_for_Enterprise_21.Q2_for_Linux_Driver Released_–_Phoronix⠀⇛ AMD has issued their Radeon Pro Software for Enterprise 21.Q2 for Linux driver update as their quarterly packaged driver update intended for use with Radeon Pro graphics cards and former FirePro line-up. The Radeon Pro Software for Enterprise 21.Q2 for Linux packaged driver with its Open and PRO components is officially offered for RHEL/CentOS 8.3, RHEL/CentOS 7.9, Ubuntu 20.04.2, Ubuntu 18.04.5, and SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP2. Worth noting here is there is not yet support for RHEL/ CentOS 8.4 or SLED/SLES 15 SP3. Last week AMD did release Radeon Software for Linux 21.20 that does include RHEL/CentOS 8.4 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP3 support but this “Radeon Pro” driver update doesn’t have those changes. # § Graphics Stack⠀➾ # ⚓ NVIDIA_470_EOL_Drivers_For_Kepler_Still_Obliterating Open-Source_Alternative_–_Phoronix⠀⇛ With the recent NVIDIA 470 series Linux driver beta this R470 branch is the point at which NVIDIA is ending its GeForce 600/700 series “Kepler” support. The 470 driver series will be maintained as a long-lived driver that will continue to see security updates and Linux kernel / X.Org Server compatibility updates for another three years. If this end-of-life status has you thinking about trying out the open-source “Nouveau” Linux driver with Kepler, here are some current benchmarks. # ⚓ Linux_Prepares_For_AMD_Servers_With_Aldebaran_GPU Nodes_Sporting_HBM2_–_Phoronix⠀⇛ The latest public code patches on the mailing list today are preparing for newer AMD heterogeneous servers that will have Aldebaran GPU nodes connected via xGMI links to the CPU(s) and the GPU dies in turn having HBM2 memory. These new heterogeneous AMD system details were revealed today as part of a set of patches prepping the AMD64 EDAC (Error Detection And Correction) kernel driver code for non-CPU nodes. The AMD64 EDAC driver is for traditionally dealing with and correcting system DRAM ECC errors while now being extended to GPU node memory accessible from the CPUs via the xGMI high-speed interconnect. # ⚓ XWayland_21.1.2_Nears_With_NVIDIA_Hardware Acceleration_–_Phoronix⠀⇛ Michel Dänzer of Red Hat is preparing the release of XWayland 21.1.2 as the newest update to this standalone XWayland package separate from a whole X.Org Server release for running X11 clients within a Wayland environment. The standalone XWayland releases were started given the lack of momentum for new X.Org Server releases but XWayland code within there continuing to see a fair amount of code churn. These standalone releases were started by Red Hat with a focus on meeting Fedora’s needs but Ubuntu and other distributions have also gotten onboard with this notion of separate releases. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Is_remmina_useful_for_your_daily_work?⠀⇛ Remmina is a Remote Desktop Client that supports numerous protocols allowing you to connect to many remote systems. This full featured client program allows you to set up a shared folder, select the screen size and type of connection being used.

For those of you who didn’t know, Canon is one of the largest printer manufacturers in the world, unfortunate canon never includes Linux / Ubuntu driver in each product that we buy, in other words, the Printer driver only available in Windows and macOS. Canon did release some printer drivers for Linux, but the majority of Canon printer owners were out of luck. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step-by- step installation of the Canon Printer Driver on Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa). You can follow the same instructions for Ubuntu 18.04, 16.04, and any other Debian-based distribution like Linux Mint. Install Canon Printer Driver o # ⚓ A_production_guide_to_automating_and_managing_SSH_server configuration_with_RHEL_system_roles⠀⇛ In the previous post, I covered how to get started with the sshd Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) System Role, which can help you automate and manage your SSH server configuration across your RHEL environment. This is important because having a properly configured and secured SSH server is a key component of securing a RHEL system. I intentionally made the first part of this series very simple by specifying the role variables directly in the playbook. This requires editing the playbook any time the variables need to be updated or changed. A better method would be to store the role variables in the inventory, which I will cover in this post. I also had the same SSH server configuration applied to all of my hosts in the previous post. However, in the real world, there are frequent exceptions to be made and servers with special requirements that need to deviate slightly from the usual configuration. Thus, in this post, I will also cover how to override settings for servers that need a slightly different configuration. # ⚓ How_to_play_Stellaris_on_Linux⠀⇛ Stellaris is a strategy game developed and published by Paradox Interactive. In the game, the player explores space, manages their own empire, and establishes diplomacy with other worlds. Stellaris was released on Linux a while ago.

The service can be used both via the website without a client and for Windows, Mac, and portable platforms such as Android and iOS and even directly in the browser. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step-by- step installation of the Discord on an AlmaLinux 8. You can follow the same instructions for Rocky Linux. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ Apogee_Entertainment_surprise_releases_Secret_Agent_HD,_a remaster_of_the_90s_classic⠀⇛ The 1992 classic Secret Agent has been revived with a HD remaster from Apogee Entertainment and Emberheart Games that was surprise announced and released today with Secret Agent HD. It’s not just a simple remaster of a classic though. While it does contain all three original episodes, along with support for modern systems and resolutions it also brings with it the brand new Secret Agent Episode 4 with a new collection of missions to play through. Secret Agent HD also comes with a brand new original soundtrack, plus there’s a built in level editor and Steam Workshop support. “The new Apogee Entertainment is focused on helping today’s developers reach new audiences with their unbelievable talent, but we’re fans of the classics too,” said Scott Miller, Apogee founder, “The ‘90s will never die—we’ve got new missions 30 years in the making to prove it” # ⚓ Stadia_vs._Shadow_Cloud_Gaming:_Which_is_better?_|_Android Central⠀⇛ The better game streaming service to buy is Stadia because it is cheaper and available right now. Anyone can sign up for the service and access it today for free. It also runs very well if you have an internet connection better than the minimum recommendation. The service’s store does not rival Steam in terms of quantity. Still, there is a sizable catalog of games to purchase with big titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, FIFA 21, or claim over a dozen games through the cheap Stadia Pro monthly subscription. # ⚓ How_to_play_Dead_Rising_2_on_Linux⠀⇛ Dead Rising 2 is the 2nd in the Dead Rising franchise. The game follows Chuck Greene in third- person as he fights through hordes of zombies. In this guide, we’ll show you how to get the game working on your Linux system. # ⚓ How_to_play_Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive_on_Linux⠀⇛ Counter-Strike; Global Offensive is a multiplayer FPS developed by Valve and Hidden Path Entertainment.

Looks pretty good actually, and in a few ways it reminds me of the excellent Darkwood (although noway near as stylish) that released back in 2017. The idea here is that The Equinox Hunt itself is some sort of ritual, with you being the prey who has to sneak through the depths of a forest full of lurking hunters. A proper stealth game too, with you needing to constantly watch your footsteps and look out for potential hiding places. # ⚓ How_We_Know_We’re_Alive_–_a_free_point_&_click_mystery_set in_Sweden’s_bible_belt⠀⇛ Free Game Wednesday? Yup! How about short, intriguing and incredible looking pixel-art mystery adventure with How We Know We’re Alive.

It incorporates a variety of awesome features, most notably the Android app support—thanks to their new App store. Additionally, the Deepin team claims they are the first Chinese Linux distro to receive a secure boot certificate. This adds in another layer of security on top of the already existing features baked right into the Linux kernel. Read on for a deeper dive into these exciting new features. # § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ Imaging_at_the_Edge⠀⇛ Adoption of game-changing disruptive technologies in heavily regulated fields, such as healthcare, can prove slow, difficult and challenging. Learn how the use of Edge helps to overcome these challenges, transforming the world of medical imaging and providing innovative technology to healthcare professionals. The concept of medical imaging began in 1895 with the invention of the x-ray by a German professor of physics, Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen. Since then, the range of technologies for medical imaging has expanded and today includes ultrasound, CT (computed tomography), PET (positron emission tomography), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), CR (computed radiography), DR (digital radiography), and mammography. # § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Pop!_OS_21.04_Released_with_New_GNOME-based_COSMIC Desktop⠀⇛ Pop!_OS 21.04 brings a new, simple, and speedy desktop experience. It is based on Ubuntu 21.04 but headlined by their new and improved COSMIC Desktop environment. Pop!_OS as most of you well know is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution. The distro is developed by System76, a US computer manufacturer of Linux-based laptops, desktops and servers. They have been around for 15 years, but since 2017 they have added their own distro, Pop!_OS, to further express their passion and philosophy. The look and feel hasn’t really changed in the new Pop!_OS 21.04. It is still their own theme, dark by default with cyan and orange highlights and their own icon theme. It looks good and modern especially combined with the custom Fira font they use. In terms of default applications, Pop!_OS 21.04 has the standard GNOME ones with Geary preinstalled for mail, Firefox for web browsing and LibreOffice as well. # ⚓ COSMIC_desktop_environment_makes_its_debut_with release_of_Pop!_OS_21.04_Linux_distribution ⠀⇛ System76 has been selling Linux computers for more than 15 years. For a long time that meant the company’s hardware came with Ubuntu pre-installed. But a few years ago System76 began offering users a choice of Ubuntu or the company’s own Ubuntu fork called Pop!_OS. Now System76 is taking things a step further and releasing a new desktop environment for Pop!_OS called COSMIC. First unveiled earlier this year, COSMIC is now the default user interface for the latest version of the operating system, Pop!_OS 21.04, which was released this week. # ⚓ Linux_Mint_Monthly_News_–_June_2021⠀⇛ We’ll be very brief with the news this month since the stable release of Linux Mint 20.2 is just around the corner. We still have a few things to check and a few bug reports to go through before calling it stable but we’re getting very close. Following the stable release we’ll open up the upgrade path from Linux Mint 20.1 and Linux Mint 20 and we’ll port all the new packages towards LMDE 4. Some of the improvements and fixes made in Linux Mint 20.2 will also be backported towards earlier 20.x releases. I’d like to thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to participate in the BETA process and report these bugs to us. Many thanks also for your donations. Thanks to our sponsors and partners for their continued support. # ⚓ System76_releases_Ubuntu-based_Pop!_OS_21.04_with auto-tiling_COSMIC_desktop⠀⇛ System76 has released Pop!_OS 21.04, based on Ubuntu 21.04 but with a distinctive desktop called COSMIC. Pop!_OS describes itself as “an operating system for STEM and creative professionals.” It uses the GNOME desktop but customised as COSMIC – which supposedly stands for Computer Operating System Main Interface Components, but someone at System76 must like rockets and comic books. Pop!_OS was born when Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, abandoned the Unity desktop. The rationale was that Canonical is focused on the enterprise, but System76 is focused on the desktop, as is Linux Mint, another popular Ubuntu derivative. # ⚓ Ubuntu_Blog:_Top_10_apps_for_a_fresh_Linux_install_in 2021⠀⇛ Are you struggling with too much lag? Is it time for a spring clean and a fresh Linux install? Ready to upgrade to Focal Fossa (LTS) or Hirsute Hippo? Whatever situation you are in, get started quickly with some of the most popular apps you need for a fresh Linux install. Here are all the commands you need so easily copy and paste to get started!

ASRock Industrial took more time to announce their Elkhart Lake offerings, with three families of hardware platforms with NUC 6000 BOX Series and IBOX 6000 Series mini PCs, as well as NUC 6000 Motherboard series. # ⚓ Venice_GW7100_compact_industrial_SBC_packs_one_Gigabit Ethernet_port,_one_mPCIe_socket_–_CNX_Software⠀⇛ Gateworks introduced the new Venice Industrial IoT SBC Family based on NXP i.MX 8M Mini processor with up to two Ethernet ports and four mPCIe Sockets last September starting with GW7300 board with dual Gigabit Ethernet and three mPCIe sockets. But the US company has now announced the availability of the smallest member of the family with Venice GW7100 SBC equipped with just one Gigabit Ethernet port and one mPCIe socket in a compact 100x35mm form factor. # ⚓ Tiny_i.MX8M_Mini_SBC_serves_up_mini-PCIe_with_PoE-enabled GbE⠀⇛ Gateworks’ 100 x 35mm “Venice GW7100” SBC combines a Linux-driven i.MX8M Mini with up to 4GB LPDDR4 and 64GB MMC plus GbE with PoE, USB Type-C, mini- PCIe with nano-SIM, -40 to 85°C support, and optional GPS. Gateworks has announced the smallest member of its family of i.MX8M based Venice SBCs, following the 105 x 100mm Venice GW7300 and 100 x 70mm GW7200. Unlike the earlier two models, the 100 x 35mm Venice GW7100 is limited to single GbE and mini- PCIe slots. Standard SKUs include 1GB RAM/8GB eMMC and 4GB/64GB. # § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ This_low-cost_device_uses_tinyML_on_Arduino_to_detect respiratory_diseases_in_pigs_|_Arduino_Blog⠀⇛ One major drawback to the largescale farming of animals for meat consumption is the tendency for diseases to spread rapidly and decimate the population. This widespread issue is what drove Clinton Oduor to build a tinyML-powered device that can perform precision livestock farming tasks intelligently. His project works by continuously monitoring the noise coming from pigs and makes a determination about what they mean, such as if a cough is indicative of a respiratory illness or a squeal denoting stress. # § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Android_12_will_bring_Google_Discover_redesign_– SamMobile⠀⇛ # ⚓ Get_this_app_to_check_out_Android_12′s_wallpaper- based_themes_on_any_phone_right_now⠀⇛ # ⚓ Nokia_fails_to_deliver_promised_Android_11_update_to devices_as_Q2_ends⠀⇛ # ⚓ Best_File_Manager_for_Android:_Files_by_Google,_Cx File_Explorer,_&_more!⠀⇛ # ⚓ Google_to_roll_out_update_for_Android_users,_enable easy_sorting_of_texts_in_the_Messages_app-_Technology News,_Firstpost⠀⇛ # ⚓ Why_Android_Users_Should_Care_About_Dynamic_Code Loading⠀⇛ o § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ # § Events⠀➾ # ⚓ EXTENDED_LibreOffice_Conference_Call_for_Papers⠀⇛ LibreOffice Conference Call for Papers has been extended until July 18, 2021. This is the final deadline, and no further extension will be offered. To facilitate the development of the conference schedule, proposals can only be submitted using TDF event management platform at https:// events.documentfoundation.org/libocon2021/ cfp. LibreOffice Conference 2021 will take place online from September 23 to 25, Thursday to Saturday. The Document Foundation invites all members and contributors to submit talks, lectures and workshops. Whether you are a seasoned presenter or have never spoken in public before, if you have something interesting to share about LibreOffice, ODF, the Document Liberation Project or the ODF Toolkit, we want to hear from you! # ⚓ Call_for_Presentations_for_Qt_World_Summit_2021⠀⇛ Qt is looking for speakers, collaborators and industry thinkers to share their expertise and thoughts with the community in the upcoming Qt World Summit Online, November 3, 2021. # ⚓ The_Linux_Foundation_Announces_Registration_is_Open for_Open_Source_Summit_and_More_Fall_Events⠀⇛ # ⚓ The_Linux_Foundation_Announces_Registration_is_Open for_Open_Source_Summit_and_More_Fall_Events⠀⇛ The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, today announced that registration is open for many of its Fall 2021 events, for both in-person and virtual attendance. The Linux Foundation hosts the premier open source events around the world that empower technologists and other leaders to come together, share ideas, learn and collaborate to drive innovation. # § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ # ⚓ Interview_to_Hossein_Nourikhah⠀⇛ Which is your perception of the project, as seen from the outside world? I see LibreOffice project as an alternative path. The road to office productivity suites doesn’t have to end up in proprietary office applications and file formats. LibreOffice project is a way out, trying to provide freedom to the users, alongside providing user friendly, cost efficient products that are also accessible for the disabled people. On the other hand, LibreOffice is a complex piece of software, consisting of ~10 millions of lines of code [1], which is somehow difficult for an average programmer to get involved in its development. This is something that can be improved through various means, including better tools and documentation, and of course, more helping hands. [...] Yes, of course! I use the latest Ubuntu LTS, and I am a LibreOffice user on a daily basis. In fact, I was an enthusiastic user of an early version of OpenOffice.org from Red Hat 9.0 in 2003 [2], and I have switched to LibreOffice when it was released. I am a happy user, although there are glitches in text rendering for my own language (Persian/Farsi). I hope we can fix them sooner with the help of kind LibreOffice developers. # § FSF⠀➾ # § Licensing/Legal⠀➾ # ⚓ Should_GitHub_Be_Sued_For_Training_Copilot_on GPL_Code?⠀⇛ The technology, a bleeding-edge application of deep learning and neural networks, was trained using the public repositories published on GitHub. Training a neural network model means that you take the data (source code of these repositories in our case) and feed it to the network, so that it can learn what to do in future similar cases. Copilot has seen billions of lines of code, functions, classes and object definitions before, and hence, can suggest the next steps whenever enough information about the programmer’s desire are determined. However, this brought a large issue into debate: Many of these public repositories were licensed under the GPL license and other copyleft licenses (MIT, AGPL… etc), so is this process legal? Is it OK for GitHub to use free software source code to train its proprietary, paid and commercial service? Different opinions emerged in the open source community. # § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Upgrading_NextCloudPi⠀⇛ So I finally got around to upgrading my NextCloudPi to version 20 with the hub and all. I really like it so far. # ⚓ The_perfect_cross-platform_serif_and_sans-serif_font stacks⠀⇛ Different web browsers use the same default fonts on the same operating system. However, the default fonts differ between operating systems and few fonts are available everywhere. In this article, I’ll focus on making the default fonts look and behave the same across operating systems. The default fonts for the generic “serif” and “sans-serif” (without serifs) fonts are metrically compatible across macOS, iOS, Windows, and Chrome OS. There are good options available for Linux too, but those are rarely set as the default fonts. Android only has one font, so you get what you get. Metrically compatible means that each individual character in one font has the same width as the same characters in another font. Metrical compatibility means you can substitute one font for another in a document without affecting its layout. E.g. a headline and paragraph should fill the same number of lines of text. This isn’t the same as a fixed-width font (monospace), where all the characters in the font have the same width. # ⚓ Godot_Web_progress_report_#9:_Godot_Scripts JavaScript_Interface⠀⇛ It hasn’t been long since the last Web progress report, but it’s finally time for the blog entry you have probably been waiting for… time to talk about integrating Godot with third-party JavaScript APIs on the Web. # ⚓ Considering_the_Next_Critical_Tech_Talent_Shortage⠀⇛ But, COBOL expertise is just one example of a potential talent shortage. “Where should we expect to find future crises?” Loukides asks. “What other shortages might occur?” The key to understanding or predicting such shortages, he says, involves looking at critical infrastructure. # ⚓ Code_as_Infrastructure⠀⇛ The Next Critical Talent Shortage Won’t Be Fortran A few months ago, I was asked if there were any older technologies other than COBOL where we were in serious danger of running out of talent. They wanted me to talk about Fortran, but I didn’t take the bait. I don’t think there will be a critical shortage of Fortran programmers now or at any time in the future. But there’s a bigger question lurking behind Fortran and COBOL: what are the ingredients of a technology shortage? Why is running out of COBOL programmers a problem? The answer, I think, is fairly simple. We always hear about the millions (if not billions) of lines of COBOL code running financial and government institutions, in many cases code that was written in the 1960s or 70s and hasn’t been touched since. That means that COBOL code is infrastructure we rely on, like roads and bridges. If a bridge collapses, or an interstate highway falls into disrepair, that’s a big problem. The same is true of the software running banks. # § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ # ⚓ Calculate_the_mean_or_average_of_a_single column_of_numbers_in_a_text_file⠀⇛ # § Rust⠀➾ # ⚓ Rakudo_compiler,_Release_#147_(2021.06)⠀⇛ On behalf of the Rakudo development team, I’m very happy to announce the June 2021 release of Rakudo #147. Rakudo is an implementation of the Raku1 language. The source tarball for this release is available from https://rakudo.org/ files/rakudo. Pre-compiled archives will be available shortly. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Integrity/Availability⠀➾ # § Proprietary⠀➾ # § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ An_EPYC_escape:_Case-study_of_a_KVM_breakout⠀⇛ KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is the de-facto standard hypervisor for Linux-based cloud environments. Outside of Azure, almost all large-scale cloud and hosting providers are running on top of KVM, turning it into one of the fundamental security boundaries in the cloud. In this blog post I describe a vulnerability in KVM’s AMD-specific code and discuss how this bug can be turned into a full virtual machine escape. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first public writeup of a KVM guest-to-host breakout that does not rely on bugs in user space components such as QEMU. The discussed bug was assigned CVE-2021-29657, affects kernel versions v5.10-rc1 to v5.12-rc6 and was patched at the end of March 2021. As the bug only became exploitable in v5.10 and was discovered roughly 5 months later, most real world deployments of KVM should not be affected. I still think the issue is an interesting case study in the work required to build a stable guest-to- host escape against KVM and hope that this writeup can strengthen the case that hypervisor compromises are not only theoretical issues. I start with a short overview of KVM’s architecture, before diving into the bug and its exploitation. # ⚓ An_EPYC_escape:_Case-study_of_a_KVM_breakout_ (Project_Zero_blog)⠀⇛ Over at the Project Zero blog, Felix Wilhelm posted a lengthy account of a vulnerability he found in the Linux kernel’s KVM (Kernel-based virtual machine) subsystem # ⚓ Is_Open_Source_Ready_For_Biden’s_Executive Order_For_Cybersecurity?⠀⇛ The Linux Foundation has done an incredible job with many projects under its umbrella including the Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) that helps track software bills of material.

Wheeler, Director of Open Source Supply Chain Security at The Linux Foundation, to talk more about the impact of this executive order on the industry and how well prepared Linux Foundation communities are to help organizations keep their software stack and our infrastructure safe. # ⚓ Security_updates_for_Wednesday⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by Debian (fluidsynth), Fedora (libgcrypt and tpm2-tools), Mageia (nettle, nginx, openvpn, and re2c), openSUSE (kernel, roundcubemail, and tor), Oracle (edk2, lz4, and rpm), Red Hat (389-ds:1.4, edk2, fwupd, kernel, kernel-rt, libxml2, lz4, python38:3.8 and python38-devel:3.8, rpm, ruby:2.5, ruby:2.6, and ruby:2.7), and SUSE (kernel and lua53). # ⚓ Major_Linux_RPM_problem_uncovered⠀⇛ In 1995, when Linux 1.x was the hot new Linux kernel, early Red Hat founding programmers Marc Ewing and Erik Troan created RPM. This software package management system became the default way to distribute software for Red Hat Linux-based distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS Stream, AlmaLinux OS, and Rocky Linux. Unfortunately, hidden within its heart is a major security hole. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Top_Private_&_Secure_Email_Providers_ [2021]⠀⇛ When it comes to email providers, some popular companies that come to our mind are Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo Mail, iCloud, etc. In this article, I am going to list the top private & secure email providers in 2021. [...] The biggest reason why Gmail and similar email providers can not be trusted to protecting users’ privacy is that they can share users’ data if demanded by the Governments through the courts. So activists around the World are under continuous threat by their country’s Government. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1807 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 06.30.21⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ ✐ Links_30/6/2021:_Pop!_OS_21.04_Release_and_MakuluLinux_Flash_2021_Desktop⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 7:13 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Distributions o Devices/Embedded * Free_Software/Open_Source * Leftovers * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Server⠀➾ # ⚓ Open_Infrastructure_Foundation_Unveils_OpenInfra_Live Virtual_Event_Schedule⠀⇛ The Open Infrastructure (OpenInfra) Foundation today announced the schedule of upcoming episodes for its recently launched OpenInfra Live series of one-hour virtual events. OpenInfra Live is a weekly, live-streamed series of one-hour episodes featuring topics such as production use cases around open source projects like OpenStack, Kubernetes and Magma; industry leader conversations; and upstream development updates and roadmaps. # ⚓ Digital_delinquent_deletes_developer’s_database_during disastrous_Docker_deployment,_defaults_damned⠀⇛ NewsBlur, an RSS news reading app for the web and mobile devices, recently had one of its databases deleted thanks to an insecure default setting that has dogged developers using Docker since 2014. # ⚓ Kubernetes_a_black_hole_of_unpredictable_spend,_according to_new_report⠀⇛ A report on Kubernetes expenditure from the Finops Foundation, in association with CNCF, shows that costs are rising and companies struggle to predict them accurately. The new report is based on a survey of the CNCF and Finops Foundation communities and although it had only 195 respondents, there was a “strong enterprise representation”. Spending on Kubernetes was up, according to the survey, with 67 per cent reporting an increase of 20 per cent or more over the last 12 months, and 10 per cent spending more than $1m per month on their deployments. o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ A_Base_Gentoo_Installation⠀⇛ Today, I had a few minutes of free time so I decided to install Gentoo. So I decided to do a Stage 3 installation inside a virtual machine, and it didn’t seem right to install Gentoo and not also record it. # ⚓ Going_Deepin_on_Fuchsia_|_LINUX_Unplugged_412⠀⇛ Is Fuchsia a risk to Linux? We try out a cutting- edge Fuchsia desktop and determine if it is a long- term threat to Linux. Plus, have we all been missing the best new Linux distribution? We give this fresh distro a spin and report. # ⚓ mintCast_364_–_The_Better_Beta⠀⇛ First up, in our Wanderings, I go ECO friendly, Josh’s DHCP fails, Joe is heavily medicated, and Tony is playing with EndeavorOS while on holiday Then, our news Linux Mint Beta is out!

OpenZFS 2.1 is working up to be a big release with distributed spare RAID (dRAID), a compatibility property for Zpool feature sets, scaling worker threads with increasing core counts, and many other improvements over last year’s OpenZFS 2.0 file- system release for Linux and FreeBSD systems. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Children’s_Drawing_App_Tux_Paint_Now_Has_Gradient_Fill_and Pixel_Art_Options⠀⇛ Tux Paint is an open source drawing application and an alternative to Microsoft Paint on Linux. It is a cross-platform application and you can also use it on Windows and macOS. Tux Paint primarily intends to be used by children between the age of 3 and 12. It is actually used in schools worldwide. It features easy to use interface, sound effect and a Tux mascot that works as guide in an entertaining way. Of course, this doesn’t mean that you cannot use Tux Paint if you are 13 or older. The developers of Tux Paint have just released the version 0.9.26. Let’s see what new features you get in the latest release. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ How_to_Install_Go_(Golang)_Compiler_on_Ubuntu_20.04⠀⇛ Go also called Golang is an open-source programming language developed by Google. It is used to build reliable and efficient applications. It is cross- platform and can be installed on Linux, Windows, and macOS. It is a compiled programming language that means you don’t need to compile the source code to create an executable file. It is used by many organizations including, Mangodb, Soundcloud, Netflix, Uber, etc. In this post, I will show you how to install the Go programming language on Ubuntu 20.04 server. # ⚓ Fedora_package_management_with_DNF_|_FOSS_Linux⠀⇛ DNF is a software package manager on RPM distros such as Fedora, CentOS, OpenMandriva, RHEL, and Mageia. It is an installer wizard that installs, updates, and removes packages and is the successor to YUM (Yellow-Dog Updater). It was introduced in Fedora 18 and has been the default package manager since Fedora 22. DNF or Dandified Yum automatically computes dependencies to determine the actions required to install packages and maintain packages. With DNF, you do not have to install or update packages using the rpm command manually. # ⚓ How_to_Install_Kubernetes_minikube_on_Ubuntu_20.04⠀⇛ “minikube” is a lightweight tool that allows you to run Kubernetes locally on your Linux, macOS, or Windows-based systems. It lets you enjoy almost all the features of Kubernetes without actually installing it on your system. It has the ability to run a single-node Kubernetes cluster on your target system. This tutorial shows you how to install minikube on Ubuntu 20.04. # ⚓ How_to_install_Openoffice_4.1.10_on_Fedora_34⠀⇛ For many people, OpenOffice has proved to be a fantastic alternative to the Microsoft Office suite. OpenOffice can be used for creating and manipulating word documents, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics modules etc. In fact, many options in OpenOffice are designed to work in a way very similar to MS Office. This makes the migration from MS Office to OpenOffice very smooth for new users. OpenOffice.org was renamed to Apache OpenOffice in June 2011. It is now developed under the projects of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). A global community of volunteers supports Apache OpenOffice. OpenOffice is available to download and install on Linux, Microsoft Windows, and macOS. However, it can’t be installed on mobile devices. Open Document Format (ODF) is the default file format for OpenOffice. # ⚓ How_to_create_database_in_MySQL_|_FOSS_Linux⠀⇛ Before we look at what MySQL is, let us first discuss what a database is and its use. In a modern setting, databases are common, and they are a standard way of storing data/information. For instance, when you upload a photo to your social media account, your photo gallery acts as a database. Another instance of database use is when you go to websites, for example, online e-commerce shops, to buy an electronic device. The database, in this case, is the shopping cart where the items you are buying are temporarily stored. Therefore, it is evident that a database is a storage mechanism that we all have encountered in our day-to-day lives. # ⚓ How_to_connect_ONLYOFFICE_Desktop_Editors_v.6.3_to_your Seafile_server⠀⇛ ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors is a free open-source office suite that comprises viewers and editors for text documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Along with offline work, it’s possible to connect the app to the cloud (ONLYOFFICE, Nextcloud, ownCloud, Seafile) for online document collaboration. The package source code is available on GitHub under the AGPL v.3.0 license. Seafile is an open-source file collaboration and sharing platform that allows storing and managing documents. # ⚓ How_to_install_MariaDB_on_Linux_and_Windows_|_FOSS_Linux⠀⇛ MariaDB is an open-source relational database system built by the initial developers of MySQL. It is popularly known as an alternative for MySQL. Actually, the database is intended to be a long- term drop-in replacement for MySQL – with the guarantee of remaining open-source. The database’s maintenance is done by the MariaDB Foundation that has some of the original developers of the MySQL DB. In this article, we will address how to install MariaDB into your local computer. Follow our guidelines, and you find installing MariaDB in either Windows or Linux enjoyable. But, first, go to the MariaDB official page and download the software file using the following link, MariaDB Official Download Page. # ⚓ Rsync_Show_Progress_Bar_When_Copying_Files_in_Linux⠀⇛ Rsync is a powerful utility to backup and synchronizes your files and directories. You can see Rsync mainly used as a backup solution to snapshot your files and directories. Rsync does an incremental backup, meaning it only captures what is newly modified (created, deleted, updated). There are many backup solutions like Timeshift, which uses rsync in the background to take backups. It is important that you know how to use rsync which will come in handy. In this article, I will demonstrate different ways of displaying the progress bar while copying files using the rsync command. As always, either the man page or help command comes in handy to see what options are available for rsync. # ⚓ Print_lines_in_a_text_file_with_numbers_in_first_column higher_or_equal_than_a_value_Using_awk⠀⇛ # ⚓ System_Calls_in_Linux⠀⇛ System calls are a special set of procedures that regular programs (user space processes) can submit to the Linux kernel for working with files, interacting with hardware, accessing internal OS functionality, implement all sorts of communication and process management and basically do anything else that’s sensitive or performance critical enough that OS kernel must enforce strict controls around it. Regular processes interface with the OS kernel by supplying a system call name and parameters, the kernel then verifies validity of a system call and executes it within kernel space, returning data and execution status back. Each system call has a unique number and name for identification. There are separate numbers for 32bit and 64bit architectures. # ⚓ Parse_JSON_configuration_files_with_Groovy_| Opensource.com⠀⇛ For example, LibreOffice Writer gives access to stuff like user data, fonts, language settings, and (much) more through Tools > Options on its menu bar. Some applications (like LibreOffice) provide a point-and-click user interface to manage these settings. Some, like Tracker (the GNOME task that indexes files), use XML files. And some, especially JavaScript-based applications, use JSON, despite the protestations of many (for example, this writer and this other writer). In this article, I’ll sidestep the debate about whether or not to use JSON as a configuration file format and explain how to parse this kind of information using the Groovy programming language. Groovy is based on Java but with a different set of design priorities that make Groovy feel more like Python. # ⚓ How_To_Install_Terraform_on_CentOS_8_–_idroot⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Terraform on CentOS 8. For those of you who didn’t know, Terraform is a free and open-source Infrastructure automation tool by Hashicorp which is used to create, build and change using infrastructure as a code across various cloud providers like AWS, Azure cloud, GCP, Oracle cloud, and many others. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step-by- step installation of Terraform on a CentOS 8. # ⚓ Building_a_Transilience_playbook_in_a_zipapp⠀⇛ This is part of a series of posts on ideas for an ansible-like provisioning system, implemented in Transilience. Mitogen is a great library, but scarily complicated, and I’ve been wondering how hard it would be to make alternative connection methods for Transilience. Here’s a wild idea: can I package a whole Transilience playbook, plus dependencies, in a zipapp, then send the zipapp to the machine to be provisioned, and run it locally? # ⚓ Antoine_Beaupré:_Another_syncmaildir_crash⠀⇛ So I had another major email crash with my syncmaildir setup. This time I was at least able to confirm the issue, and I still haven’t lost mail thanks to backups and sheer luck (again). # ⚓ Nvidia_RTX_3080_Ethereum_Hashrate_and_Mining_Overclock settings_on_HiveOS_Linux⠀⇛ This article will provide you with the information on how to overclock your Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card for a best performance and Hashrate/Watt efficiency. We have performed number of tests by modifying memory clock and absolute core clock parameters on Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card to determine the best configuration. # ⚓ How_to_install_Roblox_and_Roblox_Studio_on_a_Chromebook_– Windows_Version⠀⇛ Today we are looking at how to install the windows version of Roblox and Roblox Studio on a Chromebook. Please take note that it can be very laggy on a Chromebook, on mine it is unplayable, but works. My Chromebook has an Intel Celeron N3350 CPU, so if your has a better CPU, it should run better. # ⚓ How_to_scan_your_RHEL-based_Linux_servers_for_outdated libraries_with_CloudLinux_UChecker_–_TechRepublic⠀⇛ Your Linux server libraries might be out of date, leading to security issues. CloudLinux has a tool that can quickly list those out-of-date libraries on AlamaLinux or a similar distribution. # ⚓ How_to_install_FreeCAD_on_Deepin_20.2⠀⇛ In this video, we are looking at how to install FreeCAD on Deepin 20.2. # ⚓ Getting_Started_With_Laravel_Artisan_CLI⠀⇛ There are many PHP frameworks to choose from! Laravel is one such framework, and it has been around for more than a decade. Laravel increased in popularity following the release of version three in February 2012. This is because of the usefulness of the Laravel Artisan Command Line Interface (CLI). # ⚓ Linux_for_Starters:_Your_Guide_to_Linux_–_Installing Software_–_Part_7⠀⇛ This is a series that offers a gentle introduction to Linux for newcomers. In this article we introduce various ways to install software using a graphical interface. On a fresh installation of Ubuntu 21.04, the system prompts us to update. The updates are handled by Software Updater. This program updates installed software and their associated packages with important software updates for security or with recommended patches. It also informs users when updates are available, listing them in alphabetical order for users to choose which updates to install. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ Finland’s_oldest_video_game_firm_acquired_by_PlayStation Studios⠀⇛ Sony’s PlayStation Studios announced on Tuesday that it had acquired the Finnish video game firm Housemarque for an undisclosed sum. Founded in 1995, Helsinki-based Housemarque is the country’s oldest gaming firm that’s still in operation. In some circles the company is considered to be the mother of the domestic gaming industry. Housemarque was started by managing director Ilari Kuittinen along with co-founder Harri Tikkanen. # ⚓ Welcoming_Housemarque_to_the_PlayStation_Studios_family⠀⇛ Today I’m thrilled to welcome a new member to the PlayStation Studios family! I have been a fan of Housemarque since the studio’s early days when they introduced Super Stardust HD to PlayStation fans. Housemarque’s recent release of Returnal proves the studio is one with incredible vision, capable of creating memorable new games that resonate with our community. This addition enhances the creative force of PlayStation Studios, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Housemarque. # ⚓ Why_PlayStation_bought_Returnal_developer_Housemarque:_the inside_story⠀⇛ Having made its name with smaller, arcade-inspired titles stretching back to 2007’s Super Stardust HD on the PlayStation 3, Returnal saw its maker go all in on big budget adventuring akin to the revered Uncharted and Horizon series. Albeit “big budget adventuring” with a brain-melting sci-fi twist, all the particle effects in the known universe and a difficulty curve that goes from nought to 100 faster than a Tesla Model S Plaid. To put it another way, Returnal proved Housemarque could expand its horizons while retaining its status as a real gamers’ game developer. Now Ilari Kuittinen, Housemarque’s cofounder and managing director, wants to use this acquisition to really break new ground for the studio. He told us how the deal came about and indulged in a bit of Scandi pride while wearing a black, Returnal- branded T-shirt. It has no real relation to the conversation that follows. We just thought it was particularly, delightfully metal… # ⚓ Sony_acquires_Returnal_developer_Housemarque,_hints Bluepoint_is_next⠀⇛ In a blog post announcing the acquisition, PlayStation Studios head Hermen Hulst said that the studio “is one with incredible vision, capable of creating memorable new games that resonate with our community.” Although Housemarque has produced games across multiple platforms including PC, iOS, and the Xbox 360, the majority of its recent titles have been exclusive to Sony’s platforms. Prior to Returnal it was best known for the Super Stardust games, which have appeared on the PS3, PS4, and PSP. # ⚓ Rainbow_Six_Siege_out_on_Stadia_today,_more_games_confirmed and_a_big_‘mega’_sale⠀⇛ Google continue bringing over more and more titles to Stadia, with the next set of Stadia Pro titles revealed too. Firstly, if you subscribe to the optional Stadia Pro from July 1 you will be able to play Moonlighter, Street Power Football, Terraria, and The Darkside Detective free with your sub. Additionally these titles will be leaving Stadia Pro so you should claim them today: Steamworld Dig, Ary & Secret of Seasons, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom, PIKUNIKU, and Resident Evil 7: biohazard. Once a title leaves Stadia Pro, you have to buy it as normal in the Stadia store. [...] Will be nice to have another competitive online FPS that you can play on Linux (providing you use Stadia that is). Hopefully it’s better than the rubbish experience I had trying it on Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud). # ⚓ Surreal_point_&_click_horror_adventure_Strangeland_released for_Linux_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Strangeland from Wormwood Studios and Wadjet Eye Games has just been released for Linux and it looks awesome. Originally released back in May, Strangeland is the second game from Wormwood after the the much loved 2012 game Primordia. About the Linux release the developer said in the announcement “First, we are pleased to announce that we now have a Linux build for Strangeland. We’ve always been very fond of the Linux gaming community, and we’re really happy to be able to get a build posted so quickly. Please let us know if you run into any issues, and we will quickly patch them!”. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Yakuake:_The_KDE_Terminal_Emulator_That_You_Probably Aren’t_Using⠀⇛ With dozens of Linux distributions available for you to choose from, there’s one thing that is common among all of them. Each of these distributions comes with a terminal emulator to access the command-line, such as the gnome-terminal on the GNOME desktop environment. But at the end of the day, all these terminal emulators are pretty much the same. But here’s a different one. Yakuake is a drop- down terminal that comes preinstalled with KDE but often goes unnoticed. What’s so special, and should you use it? Let’s find out. # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ Kai_A._Hiller:_Search_Bar_of_Doom⠀⇛ It started benign, it was labeled Newcomers, it felt like a good start into the Fractal NEXT codebase: Make Ctrl+K toggle the room search bar… I was so naive! This first issue took me days. It was a task where the high-level idea is very easy, but the concrete idiomatic and robust solution is non-obvious. What followed was a lot of reading and learning of the concepts and the concrete application of general GTK4, its UI Builder, shortcut handling, GActions and GObject bindings. [...] I spent the next days learning more about the GTK4 and Adwaita widgets, as well as the inner workings of the Fractal NEXT codebase, toying around with some code. Based on the room setting design of our trusted GNOME designer Tobias, I started working on turning the pictures into something interactive. For the design I wanted to stay close to the libadwaita widgets and their intended use, so that it gives GNOME users a consistent experience and we can get all the shiny features like searchable preferences for free. The result does in some aspects deviate from the draft, e.g. the members overview got its own tab, but the overall reaction from the community to it was positive. I expect we will go through some iterations before the room settings UI is actually finished – after all: nothing will break your code faster than getting it into the hands of actual users.. o § Distributions⠀➾ # § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ MakuluLinux_Flash_is_Live_+_Extras_!⠀⇛ We have Just released our new Flash 2021 Desktop, You can read the release notes and grab your copy here. [...] We have also Updated Both the Core and LinDoz distro’s with our new Hybrid Debian Base and the Gnome framework, Both Editions have undergone significant changes and I recommend you go read up about what has changed and grab your copies here. ALL 3 Distro’s are now using the new Hybrid Debian Base, and All 3 distros are now using our heavily modified forked Gnome Framework, There is significant advantages and improvements that come as a result from this bold move. Core, Flash and LinDoz are now Significantly better than their predecessors. Grab your copies in the download links above in the main menu. # § PCLinuxOS/Mageia/Mandriva/OpenMandriva Family⠀➾ # ⚓ seamonkey_browser_updated_to_2.53.8⠀⇛ SeaMonkey is a free and open-source Internet suite. It is the continuation of the former Mozilla Application Suite, based on the same source code, which itself grew out of Netscape Communicator and formed the base of Netscape 6 and Netscape 7. # § IBM/Red Hat/Fedora⠀➾ # ⚓ Implementing_Apache_ActiveMQ-style_broker_meshes_with Apache_Artemis⠀⇛ Apache ActiveMQ and Apache Artemis (or ActiveMQ Artemis) are open source message brokers with similar functionality. Both implementations are venerable, with histories that go back to the early 2000s. However, Artemis is in some senses a more modern implementation because, ironically, it has a smaller feature set. This makes Artemis easier to maintain, which is important if you’re basing a commercial product on it. The smaller feature set means a smaller overall implementation, which fits well with developing microservices. Early versions of Red Hat AMQ were based on ActiveMQ, but attention has shifted to Artemis in AMQ 7. ActiveMQ is not maintained as vigorously as it once was by the open source community, but at the time of writing, Amazon is still offering a message broker service based on ActiveMQ. Whether it has a long-term future, at Amazon or elsewhere, remains to be seen. Leaving aside ActiveMQ’s complex niche features (such as message routing based on Apache Camel rules), ActiveMQ and Artemis look similar to the integrator and, in most practical applications, provide comparable throughput. However, they differ in important areas. Message distribution in the presence of multiple active brokers causes particular problems for integrators who want to move from ActiveMQ to Artemis. # ⚓ 17_Linux_commands_every_sysadmin_should_know⠀⇛ A few months ago, I asked the Enable Sysadmin contributor community to help me make a list of their most essential commands. After processing the results, 17 of the commands emerged as being essential or at least hugely beneficial to the Linux sysadmin job. So without any further delay, let’s jump into these. # ⚓ Making_Java_programs_cloud-ready,_Part_3:_Integrate MicroProfile_services⠀⇛ The first article in this series presented a legacy Java application that we want to upgrade to a microservices architecture. In the second article, we upgraded the Java EE environment to Jakarta EE. Now, we will add a powerful collection of microservices functionality, writing very little code of our own. # ⚓ Artificial_Intelligence_(AI):_4_novel_ways_to_build talent_in-house⠀⇛ The analytics leader of a US-based Fortune 200 company was under severe pressure. Her team supported 45,000 employees of the global energy company, and the business users weren’t happy. The analytics deliverables were often late and suffered from poor quality. The analytics team was a part of the IT organization and was struggling to fill their open positions. The skills needed couldn’t be found within the IT team. Their office was a 60-mile drive up north from a large metropolitan area in the US, and it wasn’t easy to attract talent. Training the few people they managed to hire wasn’t easy, and they often fell short in their business understanding. As a result, the analytics team was notorious for being understaffed, overworked, and facing the wrath of business users. Does this scenario sound familiar? # ⚓ Hybrid_work:_3_truths_leaders_can’t_ignore⠀⇛ After more than a year of working through the COVID-19 pandemic, some of us are finally starting to regain a sense of normalcy – one in which many companies have adopted a hybrid work model. While this approach offers flexibility and other advantages, it can also introduce challenges for both workers and organizations. For organizations, concerns include the financial aspect of keeping a physical office space, managing employees’ schedules, keeping tabs on a distributed workforce, and making sure everyone has the technology and tools they need. Many people have strong opinions on hybrid work – views that generally align with their personal preferences. For some employees, lack of in-office contact can make them feel removed from the team. Others may feel pressure to show face when they’re more productive from their kitchen table. Finding the right balance is an ongoing task, but many people have strong opinions on hybrid work – views that generally align with their personal preferences. This gives business leaders an extra challenge when it comes to setting the standards and expectations for employees. # ⚓ Red_Hat_OpenShift_4.8_Helps_Drive_Developer Productivity_For_Modern_Cloud-Native_Applications Across_The_Hybrid_Cloud⠀⇛ Red Hat has announced Red Hat OpenShift 4.8 to help organizations accelerate the creation of new cloud-native applications without abandoning existing environments and IT investments. Red Hat OpenShift 4.8, based on Kubernetes 1.21 and CRI-O 1.21 runtime interface, further simplifies the developer experience while helping expand the use cases and workload possibilities across industries. # § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Pop!_OS_21.04_Released_with_New_‘Cosmic’_Desktop⠀⇛ Like Ubuntu but feel it lacks pizazz? Then you’ll be pleased to hear that Pop!_OS 21.04 is now available to download. We took a sneak-peek at a beta build a few weeks back and came away mightily impressed. Today, System76 has announced that a final, finessed, and fully-functional version is ready to download. Pop!_OS 21.04 is based on Ubuntu 21.04. This means it inherits a newer Linux kernel, new versions of core apps, gets ongoing security updates, and more. Plus, System76’s engineers have added a stack of their own enhancements, culminating in a new desktop experience they call COSMIC. # ⚓ System76_Releases_Pop!_OS_21.04_With_New_COSMIC Desktop⠀⇛ Linux PC hardware manufacturer System76 has released Pop!_OS 21.04 as the newest version of their Ubuntu downstream that also features their new GNOME-based COSMIC desktop. Pop!_OS 21.04 is based on Ubuntu 21.04 but headlined by their new COSMIC desktop as various customizations like different docking options, improved keyboard shortcut handling, a plug-in system for the launcher, and other configurable items. # ⚓ How_we_Arrived_at_the_Pop!_OS_COSMIC_Design⠀⇛ Pop!_OS 21.04 introduces the COSMIC desktop, which changes the workflow that users have become accustomed to since Pop!_OS first released. With such a considerable alteration, we’d like to walk you through the design decisions that led to the new COSMIC experience, and why we think it improves computing for users and customers. # ⚓ Pop!_OS_21.04:_A_Release_of_COSMIC_Proportions⠀⇛ Pop!_OS is developed to help you unleash your potential by providing you efficient tools that streamline your workflow. Pop!_OS 21.04 continues this ethos with COSMIC, a set of catered customizations geared towards accommodating a variety of use cases.

We wrap up the release highlights and provide you the download instructions. # ⚓ System76_has_launched_Pop!_OS_21.04_with_the_new COSMIC_desktop⠀⇛ The big day for System76 has arrived, as they’ve now officially launched the latest big upgrade to the Pop!_OS Linux distribution with Pop!_OS 21.04 bringing their new COSMIC desktop environment. Based upon the stable base of Ubuntu, System76 are continuing to truly make their mark on the Linux landscape with big changes like this. They now do the hardware, the software and tailor the experience to be unique to them. The Apple of Linux? Getting there, little by little. “The new COSMIC workflow introduced in Pop!_OS 21.04 is the culmination of years of user research and feedback. We’ve streamlined launching and switching between applications and made the interface simpler and more straight-forward while introducing numerous options to adjust the desktop to personal taste.” — System76. # ⚓ Pop!_OS_21.04_With_New_‘COSMIC’_Desktop_is_Available to_Download⠀⇛ Pop!_OS 21.04 debuts with its brand new COSMIC desktop. I shared my experience with the beta release early this month—now, the stable release is finally available to download. There are a few additions after our beta release experience, let me highlight what’s new in Pop!_OS 21.04. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ ZARDOS,_Ze_ARDuino_Operating_System⠀⇛ Operating systems are pieces of software that control hardware and software systems within a computer to allow for task scheduling, resource management, and concurrency. Popular OSes included Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux, and Raspbian, but all of these are incapable of running on extremely small processors such as the ATmega328P. That is where ZARDOS, which stands for “Ze ARDuino Operating System,” can help. It is an OS that runs primarily on the Arduino Mega, although its creator says a minimum version can also run on the Arduino Uno. # ⚓ Celebrating_the_community:_Zaahra_and_Eesa⠀⇛ # ⚓ EduExo_Pro_is_an_Arduino-controlled_robotic exoskeleton_kit_that’s_now_on_Kickstarter_|_Arduino Blog⠀⇛ Admit it, you have dreamed of wearing something like Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit. Sadly, that technology is fictional and real world exoskeleton suits are expensive. But a Swiss company called Auxivo wants to make exoskeletons available to educators, students, and hobbyists. To make that happen, they’re releasing their new EduExo Pro wearable robotic exoskeleton kit. The EduExo Pro is available on Kickstarter to backers in a variety of packages, from a DIY version to a complete, assembled arm. Whichever option you choose, you will end up with a robotic exoskeleton arm that straps onto your own arm to enhance your strength. It has steel load-bearing structural parts and ball bearings on the joints. The shoulder joint has a heavy spring to provide assistance, while the elbow joint utilizes a powerful stepper motor. # § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ How_to_Make_Amazing_Slow_Motion_Video_on_Android_– Phandroid⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_To_Change_DNS_On_Android_|_Ubergizmo⠀⇛ # ⚓ Learn_How_to_Play_the_Piano_With_These_6_Android Apps⠀⇛ # ⚓ Best_Android_app_deals_of_the_day:_Knots_3D,_BabyBook Journal,_Cartogram,_and_more_–_9to5Toys⠀⇛ # ⚓ The_4_Best_Android_Apps_to_Find_Halfway_Points_and Meet_in_the_Middle⠀⇛ # ⚓ This_third-party_library_brings_Android_12′s_Material You_theming_to_any_app⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android_12_beta:_My_experience_so_far_– TechRepublic⠀⇛ # ⚓ DarQ_2.0_Is_Here,_It_Adopts_Android_12′s_Dynamic Color_Feature⠀⇛ # ⚓ LG_V50S_ThinQ_&_Q31_Android_11_update_in_Q3_2021; official_schedule⠀⇛ # ⚓ LG_Android_11_update_(LG_UX_10)_list_of_eligible devices_&_release_date⠀⇛ # ⚓ YouTube_for_Android_is_getting_better_link_sharing⠀⇛ # ⚓ YouTube_on_Android_can_now_direct_share_video chapters_–_9to5Google⠀⇛ # ⚓ Walmart_Android_TV_box_supports_these_HDR_formats_– 9to5Google⠀⇛ # ⚓ Don’t_like_Android_TV_Home_ads_on_NVIDIA_Shield?_Try this_out⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_to_remove_new_ads_from_NVIDIA_Shield_&_other Android_TV_devices⠀⇛ # ⚓ TCL_20_Series_will_get_2_years_of_Android_updates_– 9to5Google⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android_Automotive_is_made_for_cars_but_this developer_ported_it_to_a_tablet⠀⇛ # ⚓ Rec_Room_Expands_its_Social_VR_Universe_to_Android This_Fall_–_VRFocus⠀⇛ # ⚓ [MWC_2021]_New_Lenovo_Yoga_Tab_Android_tablets_take home_entertainment_to_the_next_level⠀⇛ # ⚓ Consultant_–_Android_Applications_Developer,_HQ_Gaza, (Local)_|_ReliefWeb⠀⇛ # ⚓ Google_Messages_will_auto_delete_your_OTP_messages, but_the_service_will_work_on_these_Android_phones_– Times_of_India⠀⇛ # ⚓ Google_Chrome_on_Android_could_soon_gain_a_handy ‘quick_action_search_widget’_|_Android_Central⠀⇛ # ⚓ Samsung_to_support_enterprise_devices_with_five_years of_Android_updates_|_IT_PRO⠀⇛ o § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ # ⚓ How_a_college_student_founded_a_free_and_open_source operating_system⠀⇛ I think even a beginner can get started writing an operating system like FreeDOS, although it would take a more advanced programmer to write the kernel. I am a self-taught programmer. I learned about programming from an early age by tinkering on our Apple II computer at home. Much later, I learned C programming—my brother was a computer science student when I was a physics student, and he introduced me to C. I picked up the rest by reading books and writing my own programs. I wrote a lot of small utilities that enhanced my command line on MS-DOS or even replaced certain DOS commands. And you can write a lot of those programs even with a basic level of programming experience. You can write file utilities like FIND, FC, CHOICE, TYPE, MORE, or COPY—or user commands like ECHO or CLS—with only an introduction to C programming. With a bit of practice, you can write system-level programs like ATTRIB, or the COMMAND shell. # ⚓ When_free_and_open_source_actually_means_£6k-£8k_per package:_Atos’s_£136m_contract_with_NHS_England⠀⇛ French outsourcer Atos has been charging NHS England between £6,000 and £8,000 for packing up popular free and open-source software requested by workers in the non-departmental government body. According to documents seen by The Register, data workers in NHS England have to request FOSS packages via their line management. These are fulfilled by outsourcer Atos, as part of its £136m agreement with the Department of Health and Social Care signed in June 2019. [...] Baw said that NHSX, set up by former Health Secretary Matt Hancock to develop best practice in technology and data usage (“Allow Matt Hancock to access this device’s location”, anyone?), was a case in point. “They’ve hired directors of everything, and yet they still haven’t actually turned out any particularly useful products. The NHS COVID app, something they brandish as a success of NHSX… well, that was delivered by NHS Digital.” An Atos spokesperson told The Register: “In line with government and NHS policies, all software must be safely and securely deployed within guidelines provided to us. For a small number of users, the client does at times administer software deployment itself but we may be asked to package and deploy the software for a more significant proportion of the workforce. “This involves a number of steps including requirements capture, testing, UAT and verification. Such activities and costs associated are always carefully considered and are proportionate and are not on a per user basis.” # § CMS⠀➾ # ⚓ WordPress_5.8_Release_Candidate⠀⇛ The first release candidate for WordPress 5.8 is now available! Please join us in celebrating this very important milestone in the community’s progress towards the final release of WordPress 5.8! “Release Candidate” means the new version is ready for release, but with thousands of plugins and themes and differences in how the millions of people use WordPress, it is possible something was missed. WordPress 5.8 is slated for release on July 20, 2021, but your help is needed to get there—if you have not tried 5.8 yet, now is the time! # § FSF⠀➾ # § GNU Projects⠀➾ # ⚓ Top_7_free_photo_editors_in_2021⠀⇛ One of the most popular alternatives to Photoshop is GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), a free and open- source photo editing program with many powerful features. The software is available on multiple platforms such as Windows, Mac, as well as Linux. It can import and export various file formats without any issues, making the software extremely versatile. Unfortunately, there’s no smartphone app for GIMP, which is a bummer for those who would rather edit on their smartphones, and the software has a rather steep learning curve. # § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ 9_reasons_I_love_to_use_the_Qt_Creator_IDE⠀⇛ Qt Creator is the Qt framework’s default integrated development environment (IDE) and hence the glue between Qt’s rich set of libraries and the user.

I generally do DuckDuckGo searches with the unknown word or acronym along with the context I found it in, for example not too long ago I came across BBB in the GNOME project’s Rocket Chat webapp, so I knew from the context (it was the flavor text when hovering over a call button) that it had something to do with GNOME and video/audio calls, so I searched for “BBB GNOME” and a few variations in DuckDuckGo and Google, which didn’t give me meaningful results on account of BBB also standing for Better Business Bureau, which led me to: # ⚓ AdaCore_Qualifies_C_Compiler_for_Alstom’s_Safety- Critical_Railway_Systems⠀⇛ * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ The_Aliens_Are_Coming_to_Help⠀⇛ o ⚓ The_World’s_Displaced_People:_an_Egregious_Abdication_of Responsibility⠀⇛ Rather than the 21st Century being a time of progress towards equity, or sustainable solutions to our global problems, the latter are instead becoming more intractable, more vicious, and more entrenched. While the international community has been shutting down its borders, resulting in a significant drop in asylum applications, the numbers of those seeking safety has risen inexorably to reach eye-watering proportions. Amid some of the worst challenges to global sustainability in the history of human civilization, so- called ‘global leaders’ have fallen over each other to create a more hostile environment for migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. The United Kingdom has slashed its overseas aid budget and opted for making the English Channel, in Home Secretary Priti Patel’s words, ‘unviable’ as a route of entry. o ⚓ The_Myths_of_Point_Reyes⠀⇛ A critical controversy continues to simmer unnoticed on the West Coast. The question of how to administer one national park, and by extension how to manage public lands, is as-we-speak being answered at Point Reyes National Seashore, just north of San Francisco. So far, the answer ventured has been per the druthers of the ranches and dairies which occupy a third of the park.  But so far, the basic facts of the matter have remained under that simmering pot’s wobbling lid, out of sight and of no concern to the people who own the land – the American public. This series of blogs aims to boil-over what should already be front-page news: a few influential businesses and their in-tow politicians are planning to enshrine a wildly unpopular, environmentally irresponsible, and socially unjust policy under the radar of those directly affected. This is part one of a three-part series on this multi- faceted and important issue. Part one introduces the subject with context, and treats the myths of Stewardship, Perpetuity, and Creation.  Part two will explore the myths of Legality, Special Jurisdiction, History, and Economy. Part three will explore the myths of Popularity, Local Authority, and Process.  o ⚓ Liberation_and_Reaction_in_the_Big_Apple⠀⇛ It was a warm night so many women and some men were scantily attired. I felt very much the way I’ve felt in the South of France in summer when the French eat and drink at small outdoor restaurants with tables and chairs set up in the street and conversation soar. I got around the city by subway and by train when I went to Westchester and Columbia counties. I was staying in Brooklyn near the Gowanus Canal in a neighborhood rapidly becoming Yuppified. To visit friends in Manhattan I had a 50-minute or so ride on the F train and also on the 1 and the 6. The subways aren’t the way I remember them from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. I saw no people sleeping in subway cars and subway stations and no signs of crack cocaine, but it’s also a dirty city with garbage everywhere. o ⚓ The_Passing_of_the_Present_and_the_Decline_of_America⠀⇛ Had I reflected on Vonnegut’s question then, my guess is that I would have judged the present to be both very wide and very deep and, as a white American male, mine to possess indefinitely. Life, of course, was by no means perfect. The Vietnam War had obviously not gone exactly as expected. The cacophonous upheaval known as “the Sixties” had produced considerable unease and consternation. Yet a majority of Americans — especially those with their hands on the levers of political, corporate, and military power — saw little reason to doubt that history remained on its proper course and that was good enough for me. In other words, despite the occasional setbacks and disappointments of the recent past, this country’s global preeminence remained indisputable, not just in theory but in fact. That the United States would enjoy such a status for the foreseeable future seemed a foregone conclusion. After all, if any single nation prefigured the destiny of humankind, it was ours. Among the lessons taught by history itself, nothing ranked higher or seemed more obvious. Primacy, in other words, defined our calling. o ⚓ Job_Scams_Targeting_College_Graduates_Are_Common_—_Here’s_What_to Look_For⠀⇛ The career center at the University of Texas at Austin, for example, has a dedicated section of its website that includes those alerts from Handshake and other job boards, and vets all jobs before they can be approved for the university’s jobs portal, HireUTexas, powered by Handshake. Of the more than 28,000 jobs approved in the portal during the past academic year, only five were found to be fraudulent, with just four of over 4,000 employers, said Norma Guerra Gaier, executive director of the university’s Texas Career Engagement center. But experts tell Teen Vogue that scammers have managed to create work-arounds. Sometimes they email students impersonating university career-service offices or create fake job postings for legitimate companies on copycat web pages. Other times the opportunities come in the form of a message that appears to be from a friend advertising job opportunities, or in the comments section of a news article. o § Health/Nutrition⠀➾ # ⚓ Is_Indonesia_Really_a_Pandemic_Basket_Case?⠀⇛ The article also reports that a number of doctors and other health care workers have been infected, and several have died, even after getting two shots of Sinovac, one of the vaccines developed by China. Unfortunately, the piece does not put any of this in a context that is likely to make it meaningful to most NYT readers. First, it would be helpful to point out that Indonesia’s population is 276 million, more than 83 percent of the size of the U.S. population. That means the 20,000 cases reported on Thursday would be equivalent to roughly 24,000 cases in the United States. The infection rate in the United States peaked in late January at more than 250,000 a day, a figure more than ten times as high, adjusted for population. # ⚓ Ultra-Contagious_Covid_Delta_Variant_‘Wreaking_Havoc’ Worldwide⠀⇛ In Bangladesh, troops are preparing to patrol the streets to enforce newly imposed stay-at-home orders. Australia, recently heralded as a pandemic success story, is returning to strict lockdowns. Scotland is seeing a record-breaking surge in new coronavirus infections. Indonesia is teetering on the edge of a public health catastrophe. “We have seen this movie before elsewhere—the Delta variant creeps up from the underbelly of falling cases of other variants, overtakes all variants, and then causes a surge. Don’t let this happen where you are.”—Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding, Federation of American Scientists # ⚓ How_the_Pandemic_Made_It_Harder_to_Become_a_Doctor⠀⇛ Over the past year, college students have been inspired by medical and public health professionals working tirelessly throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, medical schools in the United States have seen a 17 percent increase in applications so far, with the average yearly increase in applications usually at less than 3 percent. Geoffrey Young, a senior director with AAMC, called this uptick unprecedented. # ⚓ The_Delta_Variant_and_COVID-19:_What_It_Means_for_Masks, Vaccines,_and_Restrictions⠀⇛ What is this Delta variant? How has the virus changed? And what does it mean for the pandemic as we move forward from vaccine rollout to mask mandates to new lockdowns? Here’s what we know. # ⚓ WHO:_Delta_variant_is_‘most_transmissible’_identified_so far⠀⇛ The head of the World Health Organization said the COVID-19 delta variant, first seen in India, is “the most transmissible of the variants identified so far,” and warned it is now spreading in at least 85 countries. At a press briefing on Friday, WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the lack of vaccines in poor countries was exacerbating the delta variant’s transmission. He described a recent meeting he attended of an advisory group established to allocate vaccines. # ⚓ Delta_is_fast_becoming_the_world’s_dominant_strain_of_SARS- CoV-2⠀⇛ According to GISAID, a data-sharing initiative for corona- and influenza-virus sequences, the delta variant has been identified in 78 countries (see chart). The mutation is thought to be perhaps two or three times more transmissible than the original virus first spotted in Wuhan in China in 2019. It is rapidly gaining dominance over others. According to GISAID’s latest four-week average, it represents more than 85% of sequenced viruses in Bangladesh, Britain, India, Indonesia and Russia. It may soon be the most prevalent strain in America, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, South Africa, Spain and Sweden. (GISAID does not, in its summary data, distinguish between delta, B.1.617.2, and the “delta plus” mutation, AY.1, AY.2.) o § Integrity/Availability⠀➾ # § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Ransomware_a_threat_to_national_security,_says_Deutch counterterrorism_office [iophk: Windows TCO]⠀⇛ Ransomware attacks have the capacity to destabilize the Netherlands and is a threat to national security, the National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (NCTV) said in its annual report on cybersecurity, released on Monday. It is the first time the office has categorized the cyber crime as endangering national security, though the practice of hijacking data, encrypting it, and charging money to unlock it actually dates back to the 1990s. The agency suggested cybercrime is showing no signs of slowing down. The theft of data, disrupted systems, blocked data traffic, interrupted communications services, and the possible shut down of utility services like water, gas and energy providers can all have massive consequences for society and the economy. # § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Microsoft_approved_a_Windows_driver_booby- trapped_with_rootkit_malware⠀⇛ Microsoft on Friday admitted it had signed malicious third-party driver code submitted for certification through its Windows Hardware Compatibility Program. According to Microsoft, the miscreant behind the subverted driver was focused on computer game players in China, and is not the sort of nation-state-backed group that has been giving Microsoft and its enterprise customers headaches over the past few months. # ⚓ You_can_hijack_Google_Cloud_VMs_using_DHCP floods,_says_this_guy,_once_the_stars_are_aligned and…_•_The_Register⠀⇛ Google Compute Engine virtual machines can be hijacked and made to hand over root shell access via a cunning DHCP attack, according to security researcher Imre Rad. Though the weakness remains unpatched, there are some mitigating factors that diminish the potential risk. Overall, it’s a pretty neat hack if a tad impractical: it’s an Ocean’s Eleven of exploitation that you may find interesting from a network security point of view. # ⚓ UK_Cabinet_Office’s_spending_on_cybersecurity training_rises_by_500%_in_a_year⠀⇛ The Cabinet Office spaffed almost £300,000 on cybersecurity-related training for its staff in the last year – an eye-popping increase of almost 500 per cent on the year before. This is according to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request by political think tank Parliament Street, which found the Cabinet Office lavished £274,142.85 on cybersecurity training for staff in the 2020/21 financial year, with courses including “The Art of Hacking”, “Digital Forensics Fundamentals”, and “Ethical Hacking.” # ⚓ Avast_Threat_Labs_finds_U.S._most_vulnerable_to tech_support_fraud⠀⇛ The COVID pandemic accelerated this concerning global trend, particularly in the United States and Canada. According to the FBI, tech support fraud was one of the top three crime trends in 2020. As more people began relying on the internet for everyday pursuits, this illicit activity increased by over 171 percent from 2019. These scams are particularly insidious as they disproportionately prey on susceptible populations, including those over 60 years of age. Worse still, although seniors make up 66 percent of the victims of tech support fraud, they shoulder a disproportionate amount of the losses at 84 percent in the U.S., which translated to $116 million in 2020. # ⚓ ‘Malicious’_Actor_Is_Wiping_The_Data_Of Countless_Western_Digital_My_Book_Users⠀⇛ Owners of the Western Digital popular My Book external hard drives aren’t having a particularly good week. The company is advising customers to stop using the devices for now after customers mysteriously found their data deleted. According to complaints over at the company’s website (first spotted by Bleeping Computer), many users say they woke up to find that the content of their external USB-connected storage drives had been completely wiped. Worse, they couldn’t log in to the device’s administrative systems to run any kind of diagnosis on the drives: # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Facial_Recognition’s_Latest_Failure_Is Keeping_People_From_Accessing_Their Unemployment_Benefits⠀⇛ Is there anything facial recognition tech can’t do? # ⚓ [Old] How_Amazon_Assistant_lets_Amazon track_your_every_move_on_the_web⠀⇛ While, technically speaking, no remote code is being executed in extension context here, delegating all extension privileges to remote code makes no difference in practice. So Amazon Assistant clearly violates Mozilla’s policies, and we can expect Mozilla to enforce their policies here. With Honey, another shopping assistant violating this rule the enforcement process is already in its fifth month, and the extension is still available on Mozilla Add-ons without any changes. Well, maybe at some point… # ⚓ A_Twitter_bug_temporarily_removed_the option_to_switch_to_the_chronological_feed on_the_web⠀⇛ Twitter has fixed a bug that left some of us horrified when we opened the site (as is often the case, but for different reasons) — those viewing the social network in a web browser found that they no longer had the option to switch between the algorithmic view and the reverse- chronological one. The algorithmic view, which shows tweets out of order, has been much maligned since it first appeared, and the bug on Tuesday had people worried that Twitter was finally starting to force it on everyone. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Though_Evidence_Is_Lacking,_US_Media_Give_New_Respect_to Lab_Leak_Theory⠀⇛ While many Western media outlets (e.g., NBC, 5/4/ 20; BBC, 4/26/20) reported on the evidence-free speculations surrounding a potential lab leak of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China’s Hubei province last year (FAIR.org, 4/17/20), it has never enjoyed as much mainstream credibility as it has in recent months. # ⚓ Watchdog_Says_Insurrectionist_Lawmakers,_Including_Trump, Should_Be_Barred_From_Public_Office⠀⇛ Calling on election officials across the U.S. to recognize that the nation “is at a critical crossroads,” a non-profit legal advocacy group on Tuesday cited the 14th Amendment as it demanded Republicans who aided the January 6 insurrection—including former President Donald Trump—be barred from holding public office in the future. The democracy watchdog Free Speech for People sent letters to the secretaries of state of all 50 states as part of its 14point3 campaign, calling attention to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which states: # ⚓ Czech_Republic_demands_full_reparation_from_Russia_over 2014_explosions_in_Vrbetice⠀⇛ According to a statement from the Czech Foreign Affairs Ministry, Prague has invoked Russia’s responsibility under international law for its alleged involvement two fatal explosions at military ammunition depots in Vrbetice in 2014.  # ⚓ America’s_Nearly_$1.3_Trillion_National_Security_Budget Isn’t_Making_Us_Any_Safer⠀⇛ President Biden’s first Pentagon budget, released late last month, is staggering by any reasonable standard.  At more than $750 billion for the Defense Department and related work on nuclear weapons at the Department of Energy, it represents one of the highest levels of spending since World War II—far higher than the peaks of the Korean or Vietnam wars or President Ronald Reagan’s military buildup of the 1980s, and roughly three times what China spends on its military. # ⚓ Biden’s_First_Pentagon_Budget_Is_One_of_the_Highest_Since World_War_II._Why?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Biden’s_Latest_Middle_East_Airstrikes_Give_“More_Fuel”_to Conflict_With_Iran⠀⇛ # ⚓ Amid_Nuclear_Talks,_Biden’s_Latest_Middle_East_Airstrikes Give_“More_Fuel”_to_Conflict_with_Iran⠀⇛ Criticism is growing of recent U.S. airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, which the Biden administration says targeted Iran-backed militias. Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi condemned the attack as a “blatant and unacceptable violation of Iraqi sovereignty and Iraqi national security.” The U.S. airstrikes come as the Biden administration is holding indirect talks with Iran about reviving the Iranian nuclear deal. Jamal Abdi, president of the National Iranian American Council, says the U.S. needs to end its “constant tit for tat” with Iran across the Middle East. “By failing to pivot away from that and instead bombing targets inside of Iraq, we are giving more fuel to this conflict,” he says. # ⚓ Biden’s_Failure_to_End_Trump’s_War_on_Cuba_Is_Threatening Lives⠀⇛ Imagine a country developing and producing its own Covid-19 vaccines, enough to cover its entire population, but being unable to inoculate everyone because of a syringe shortage. This absurd situation is real, and one that Cuba will soon face. Cuba has already vaccinated about 2 million of its 11 million people, and hopes to have 70 percent of the population vaccinated by August. Yet, because of the 60-year US embargo, which punishes civilians during a pandemic, the country is facing a shortage of millions of syringes. # ⚓ Iran’s_Hardliners_are_Back,_Too⠀⇛ Although certainly distorted by the powerful, U.S. democracy is not entirely scripted. If nothing else, the victory of Donald Trump in 2016 should have dispelled this particular misconception since the array of forces within the Republican Party, the intelligentsia, and Wall Street were initially unified against him. By the same token, the come- from-behind victory of Black Lives Matter activist Cori Bush in her House race in Missouri in 2020 also demonstrates, on a smaller scale, that U.S. elections cannot be predicted in advance. Iranian elections, on the other hand, are generally considered semi-democratic at best. Here, a true deep state of clerics and security organs really does stage-manage the elections in often quite transparent ways. This year, for instance, the Guardian Council of clerics and lawyers qualified only seven presidential candidates out of the 592 that registered. Forty women threw their hats into the ring, and the Council rejected all of them. It also made sure that no viable reformist candidates would compete in the race. # ⚓ Gunboat_Diplomacy_will_not_Revive_Britain’s_Fading_Power, Whatever_Boris_Johnson_Thinks⠀⇛ “If you are going to bomb a country you might at least pay it the compliment of finding out where it is,” replied Hitchens, as he delivered the knockout blow. Heston angrily but vainly tried to defend his credibility by saying that he had been insulted which provoked a final jibe from Hitchens who told him “to keep his hairpiece on.” The exchange elicited much mockery of Heston at the time, but I recalled it this week as politicians, retired military officers and assorted pundits debated the despatch of a modern Type-45 British destroyer, HMS Defender, to sail close to the coast of Crimea. The purpose was to demonstrate that Britain does not recognise the Russian annexation of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014. I wondered how many of the supposed experts endorsing the British action could pass what might be called the “Heston test” and name the countries bordering the Black Sea. # ⚓ How_close_did_Trump_come_to_attempting_a_military_coup? Much_too_close⠀⇛ ProPublica recently obtained emails revealing that the violence by Trump’s followers on Jan. 6 by Trump’s followers was predictable and in no sense unexpected. In their new reporting, Joshua Kaplan and Joaquin Sapien explain that they interviewed “more than 50 people involved in the events of Jan. 6″ and reviewed months’ worth of private correspondence: [...] # ⚓ US_Capitol_[Insurrection]_Arrests_Mount_While_Some Defendants_Plead_Out⠀⇛ Weyer’s arrest exemplifies the doggedness with which the FBI is pursuing virtually every person who took part in what officials have decried as an unprecedented assault on American democracy. The attack left five people dead, including a Capitol police officer, and more than 100 other officers injured. Prosecutors say the hours long rampage also caused at least $1.5 million in damage to the historic building. # ⚓ Sikh_Groups_Protest_“Kidnapping,_Conversion”_Of_Women_In J&K:_10_Points⠀⇛ Speaking to news agency NDTV, Mr Sirsa said, “Home Minister Amit Shah has assured us about the safety of minority Sikh girls in the valley and that the girls would be soon returned to their families. He has given time to meet the Sikh delegation soon to discuss their concerns.” # ⚓ Sikh_community_demands_law_after_reports_of_woman’s_forced conversion,_marriage_to_Muslim_man:_All_you_need_to_know⠀⇛ Members of the Sikh community took out marches on roads and highways across Jammu and Kashmir to protest against the alleged “abduction and forcible conversion”. Sirsa, also the president of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee, landed in Srinagar on Monday and staged a protest along with a group of Sikhs. The protestors demanded the women’s return to their families and that an anti- conversion law is put into effect in the Union Territory. # ⚓ Protests_against_‘conversion’_of_18-year-old_in_Srinagar intensify⠀⇛ The stir began on Sunday after police said that the Sikh woman, a resident of Srinagar, was allegedly abducted by a 29-year-old Muslim man. There was, however, no clarity on whether the woman had converted to Islam of her free will or if the abduction charges were genuine. Police said the man was arrested on kidnapping charges on Saturday, days after the woman’s parents filed kidnapping charges against the man. They also denied charges of conversion, a charge levelled by the protesters. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ Hasan_Piker_on_the_problem_with_YouTube_debate_culture⠀⇛ The whole fiasco raised serious questions about debate culture online and how platforms like YouTube and Twitch are influencing politics at large. I asked Hasan Piker, a popular Twitch commentator and former Young Turks broadcast journalist, to talk about it. Piker has been a vocal critic of debate culture without shying away from his channel’s political clout. As he tells it, the “debate me” challenge is just a branding exercise — and it’s one he’s increasingly willing to skip. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ UK_Government_in_Court_over_Climate_Impacts_of_the Country’s_‘Largest_Ever’_Road_Expansion_Project⠀⇛ Campaigners are challenging the UK’s largest ever road building strategy on the grounds that its impact on the climate was not fully considered.  During a two-day judicial review hearing in the High Court on June 29 and 30, Transport Action Network (TAN) is arguing that ministers should have evaluated how the government’s whole £27.4 billion second Road Investment Strategy (RIS2) would affect the country’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050. # ⚓ Fact_check:_Is_half_a_degree_of_warming_really_such_a_big deal?⠀⇛ Using satellite data to examine glaciers and the poles, scientists from the UK’s University of Edinburgh, University College London and University of Leeds concluded that some 800 billion metric tons of ice was lost annually in the 1990s.

One of my first features for Rolling Stone, in 2004, “Diary of a Dying Planet,” grappled with the first observable effects of climate change. That story began with a description of a deadly 2003 heat wave that killed some 70,000 people across Europe, and reported that global warming was no longer an over-the-horizon threat, but here and now: [...] # ⚓ Rep._Jamaal_Bowman:_We_Need_Climate_&_Racial_Justice Addressed_in_Broader_Infrastructure_Package⠀⇛ As western states battle record-breaking heat waves, climate activists are calling on the Biden administration and congressional Democrats to pass an infrastructure bill that includes major investments in green energy, including a fully funded Civilian Climate Corps. President Biden says he reached a bipartisan deal with senators on a slimmed-down infrastructure spending bill, but Democrats hope to pass a second, larger infrastructure package with a budget reconciliation process that would not require any Republican votes. The bipartisan deal is “completely unacceptable” on its own, says New York Democratic Congressmember Jamal Bowman. “If we want to maintain control and the opportunity to do great work in 2022, it’s time for Democrats to deliver in this moment.’’ We also speak with David Dayen, executive editor of The American Prospect, who explains why the bipartisan infrastructure bill has been described as a “stalking horse” for privatization, and notes record heat and crumbling infrastructure are “screaming for a change in priorities in America because of the climate crisis.” # ⚓ Northwest_Heat_Wave_Is_a_Symptom_of_Terrifying_Runaway Climate_Feedback_Loops⠀⇛ # ⚓ Experts_Warn_Florida_Tower_Disaster_Is_Climate_Emergency ‘Wake-Up_Call’⠀⇛ In the search for answers following last week’s disintegration of a high-rise condominium tower near Miami, some experts are cautiously pointing to the climate emergency as a possible culprit—or at the very least a risk multiplier in the disaster—underscoring the need for urgent climate and infrastructure action. “Climate change can play a role.

The filing stated that the Army Corps of Engineers’s decision to issue a permit for Line 3 had “satisfied NEPA’s [the National Environmental Policy Act] requirements by taking a hard look at the impacts of issuing the Permit and Permission and considering a reasonable range of alternatives.” # ⚓ Climate_heat_is_changing_Earth’s_water_cycle⠀⇛ Humans have begun to alter Earth’s water cycle, and not in a good way: expect later monsoon rains and thirstier farmlands. # ⚓ Adani_Strikes_Coal⠀⇛ The interview set the background for another sad chapter in the continued environmental renting of Australia.  The company had found its first coal seam in Queensland’s Galilee Basin. As the ABC reported, it meant “the extraction of thermal coal at the 44,700- hectare site can begin.” The head of the Indian Adani Group, billionaire Gautam Adani, was celebrating his 59th birthday. “There couldn’t be a better birthday gift than being able to strengthen our nation’s energy security and provide affordable power to India’s millions,” tweeted the delighted chairman. Even as oil and gas giants face court decisions and shareholder insurgencies about not having sufficient, tenably projected plans to reduce emissions, Adani remains antiquated in its stubbornness. Its vandalising behaviour flies in the face of even such conservative, pro-fossil fuel defenders such as the International Energy Agency. In its May report, the IEA noted, keeping in mind the target of a net-zero emissions world by 2050, that more simply had to be done. Certainly, it argued, more could be done to meet 2030 targets. “Mandates and standards are vital to drive consumer spending and industry investment into the most efficient technologies. Targets and competitive auctions can enable wind and solar to accelerate the electricity sector transition. Fossil fuel subsidy phase-outs, carbon pricing and other market reforms can ensure appropriate price signals.” # ⚓ Five_simple_ways_to_reduce_your_electricity_bill_at home⠀⇛ Why is the electricity bill so high every month?

Alas, there seems to be very little evidence that CALFIRE is much interested in forest ecology. They do no logging themselves but farm out the work to a garden variety of logging operations, this time to Anderson Logging of Fort Bragg. Financially, it’s no big deal for CALFIRE, a darling of the state in this era of wildfire. Nevertheless, the evidence is that the income (from this “cash cow” as the locals call it) is important for them. Since then Forest’s inception they’ve fought tooth and nail to defeat any and all suggestions to reverse its practice, no evidence to hint that it might be interested in other, better uses for Jackson State. No doubt the high price of timber this spring influenced them to hurry up, but they like other public agencies prefer the fait accompli. They play by the very letter of the law. The news of new logging plans – all on the far western slopes of the forest, beginning with the “Caspar 500,” the closest to residential communities – was received with disbelief on the coast, where the forest is cherished (even in its present state) by many – hikers, dog walkers, mushroom pickers, bicycle riders. Chad Swimmer, president of the Mendocino Trail Stewards, a bicyclists’ organization, reported he was “heart broken” when he “first heard that CALFIRE was planning logging in my back yard. I was heartbroken and indignant, but I didn’t know how to contest a timber harvest plan (THP). Now I do, I know the protocol. I also understand that this agency considers itself all powerful and unstoppable – with no need to argue with the public about forest management.” # ⚓ Oregon_Lawmakers_Set_Out_to_Increase_the_Timber Industry’s_Tax_Bill._Instead,_They_Cut_It_Again.⠀⇛ Oregon lawmakers pledged to increase taxes on the timber industry and rein in its influence during this year’s legislative session. Instead, they handed the companies an unexpected gift — another tax break. As the session wrapped last week, lawmakers gutted the remaining $15 million annual harvest tax paid by timber companies for cutting down trees. The move eliminated about $9 million in annual revenue that helps fund Oregon State University’s forestry research and the Department of Forestry’s enforcement of state logging laws. Money for the programs will temporarily come from the state’s general fund, forcing the costs onto taxpayers. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Peter_Thiel_Will_Pay_Zero_in_Federal_Income_Tax_on_His_$5 Billion_in_Gains⠀⇛ # ⚓ Dear_NPR:_The_Stock_Market_Is_Not_the_Economy⠀⇛ I have a pet peeve with NPR.

According to Version2, the breach happened in the wake of the global SolarWinds-cyberattack in December 2020. It appears that Nationalbanken has only been affected by a so-called stage 1-compromise, which means that a stump of code has informed hackers of a backdoor into the security system that they could potentially use. # ⚓ Mysterious_Bitcoin_Maximalist_Mircea_Popescu_Allegedly Found_Dead⠀⇛ Just like the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamato sparked a thrilling hunt for the true identity of the person or persons behind Bitcoin, the network has reportedly lost one of its most enigmatic and polarizing figures of the last decade. Mircea Popescu, a Romanian national and noted Bitcoin maximalist who promised to dump over one million bitcoins if block sizes were adjusted, supposedly drowned off the coast of Costa Rica on June 23rd. Confirmation of his passing has been scant, with outlets originally reporting that a Polish national had drowned. [...] Mired in controversy for years, Popescu left behind many quotes and sayings, some of which painted a fairly negative image of the man himself. Yet, none of his antics were taken so seriously as his promise to dump a million bitcoins in the market if changes were made to Bitcoin block sizes (this reportedly occurred in 2016), earning him the moniker “Father of Bitcoin Toxicity.” Eventually, Segwit2x, an initiative designed to double the block size to 2MB, was abandoned and cemented the network’s use of the 1MB block size. Despite never being confirmed, it was inferred that Popescu actually did command control over that vast swathe of a million bitcoin, which, if true, made him likely the only bitcoin millionaire (owner of more than one million coins). However, this figure was never confirmed. It did create concerns in light of his alleged death, though, that one million bitcoins could hit the market and cause prices to careen lower. For now, the situation remains shrouded in mystery amid the lack of formal confirmation of his passing. # ⚓ Kim’s_success_secrets:_5_leadership_lessons_I’ve_learned⠀⇛ I was 25 years old making $150,000 a year, but something was missing. My father thought I was crazy for leaving a great paycheck like that behind, but helping people understand technology and media was my passion. [...] When I was 8 or 9, she was working on the first video phone, the 411 system, and she was told when she interviewed, “You have four kids, if the kids are sick, you can’t take off.” So, if I was ever sick, she would take me to work with her. One time when she took me to work with her, one of her coworkers asked me, “Hey, do you want to play a computer game? It’s called Hunt the Wumpus.” I didn’t know this at the time, but I was beta testing the game. Any time I saw an error code pop up, I was instructed to tell him what the code was, and I was so fascinated by this. They were working on moving the game to another version of Unix at the time, and I was obsessed with helping the process. My sisters hated it because I would tie up the phone lines. They sent me home with a computer to keep beta testing! I didn’t know it then, but looking back, that’s when my passion for computers started. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ It’s_Time_for_a_New_Good_Neighbor_Policy_Toward_Latin America⠀⇛ “America is back,” President Biden announced repeatedly in meeting with allies in Europe.

He isn’t alone: the authorities also rejected a candidacy bid for the State Duma by Oleg Stepanov, Alexey Navalny’s former coordinator in Moscow. In both cases, officials cited a new law that prohibits anyone with recent connections to organizations designated as “extremist” (including Navalny’s campaign offices and the Anti-Corruption Foundation) from running for elected office. While the new law’s applicability is expansive, Meduza explains why it is nevertheless illegal at this time to bar the candidacies of Yashin and Stepanov. # ⚓ Ilhan_Omar_Says_Progressives_Ready_to_Withhold_Votes_From Bipartisan_Infrastructure_Deal⠀⇛ Congresswoman Ilhan Omar said Tuesday that Democratic lawmakers in the House’s nearly 100- member Progressive Caucus are prepared to withhold their votes from the White House-backed bipartisan infrastructure deal in order to guarantee the concurrent passage of a separate bill that invests in climate action, child care, and other priorities. “We’re not going to be passing a bipartisan infrastructure package unless we are, at the same time, passing a reconciliation package that includes all of our priorities.”—Rep.

We acknowledge the error in our 2016 article (which did contain an incorrect assertion pertaining to Prigozhin’s criminal record) and wish to correct it without making any claims about Prigozhin’s honor, dignity, or professional reputation. As such, we’re publishing a complete translation of the cassation court’s ruling on Prigozhin’s appeal against a verdict sentencing him to 13 years in a medium- security penal colony. This took place in 1981. # ⚓ Does_Socialism_Have_a_PR_Problem?⠀⇛ Walton’s achievement is hugely significant and is yet another indication of the traction that socialist ideas have today in an increasingly unequal capitalist economy. With the backing of increasingly powerful left groups like the Democratic Socialists of America and the Working Families Party, Walton will become the first socialist to hold mayoral office in a big city since Frank Zeidler was elected in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1948 and served until 1960. After him, the highest-profile socialist to have been elected mayor was Bernie Sanders in Burlington, Vermont, in the 1980s. Moreover, the combination of Walton’s ideology, race, gender, and youth (the 39- year-old would be Buffalo’s first woman mayor and second Black mayor) makes her mayoral win even more significant than that of her socialist predecessors. On the same day as Walton won in Buffalo, New York City residents voted on a large slate of candidates for mayor using ranked-choice voting for the first time. In a city that is considered a bastion of progressive politics, not a single strong candidate stood out as a progressive leader, let alone a socialist. Eric Adams, a pro-police Democrat, emerged with a significant vote lead as the vote- counting process began. Just because socialists did not make enough headway in the nation’s largest and arguably most liberal city does not mean, as Washington Post columnist Max Boot bloviated, that, “progressives are out of touch with ordinary Democrats.” It may just be a matter of time—and marketing. # ⚓ After_Losing_to_Socialist_India_Walton,_Buffalo_Mayor Launches_Write-In_Campaign⠀⇛ # ⚓ AZ_Will_Spend_Millions_to_Replace_Voting_Machines Compromised_by_GOP_“Audit”⠀⇛ # ⚓ Georgia_GOP’s_New_Voter_Suppression_Tactic_Violates_Anti- Klan_Law_Passed_in_1871⠀⇛ # ⚓ Manchin_Says_He’s_Open_to_Reconciliation_But_Wants_Less Than_Sanders’s_Proposal⠀⇛ # ⚓ These_Are_the_3_Ways_Biden’s_Presidency_Could_Go⠀⇛ “I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep.”—Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five (1969) # ⚓ Progressives_Push_Back_on_McConnell_Effort_to_Sabotage Reconciliation_Bill⠀⇛ # ⚓ ‘Not_Going_to_Happen’:_Progressives_Slam_McConnell_Effort to_Sabotage_Reconciliation_Bill⠀⇛ Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is actively working to undermine the Democratic majority’s emerging infrastructure strategy by demanding the separation of the White House-backed bipartisan deal from a broader reconciliation package—a non-starter for progressives who say they will not support the former without simultaneous passage of the latter. “It’s not going to happen,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D- Calif.) told NBC News on Monday, referring to McConnell’s request. “There is no way a bipartisan deal passes the House without a vote the same day on a Senate-passed reconciliation that has bold climate provisions.” # ⚓ House_Will_Vote_Tuesday_on_Removing_Confederate_Statues From_Capitol⠀⇛ o § Misinformation/Disinformation⠀➾ # ⚓ False_facts_mistaken_for_reality_by_about_half_of_New Zealanders⠀⇛ Among the 2300 people surveyed, false beliefs included believing scientists were lying about the safety of vaccines, believing 5G communications caused Covid-19, and that climate change was not caused by human activity.

From 1080 to climate change, nearly half the population believes something that isn’t true. Along with the Covid-19 pandemic, the world has faced an epidemic of false information over the past year, with the two often linked.

Human Rights Watch verified three cases where students’ families in China were visited by or requested to meet with police about their activities in Australia. # ⚓ China_pressure_‘undermining_Australian_universities’, report_says⠀⇛ Human Rights Watch found such students feel surveilled in Australia, leading many to self- censor in classrooms. Academics teaching China courses in the country say they have also felt pressure to censor themselves. The rights group said the perceived pressure was undermining the academic freedom of Australian universities. Australia’s higher education system is heavily reliant on fee-paying Chinese students, which accounted in pre-Covid times for about 40% of all international students in the country. # ⚓ Requiem_for_the_American_Civil_Liberties_Union⠀⇛ The ACLU is now rolling in money, but it is intellectually bankrupt in its defense of free speech and due process—especially when these core liberties conflict with its money-making progressive agenda. This is particularly true with respect to the attacks on free speech and due process on university campuses, which are rampant and largely ignored by the current ACLU. # ⚓ ‘A_Form_of_Brainwashing’:_China_Remakes_Hong_Kong⠀⇛ The Chinese Communist Party is remaking this city, permeating its once vibrant, irreverent character with ever more overt signs of its authoritarian will. The very texture of daily life is under assault as Beijing molds Hong Kong into something more familiar, more docile. Residents now swarm police hotlines with reports about disloyal neighbors or colleagues. Teachers have been told to imbue students with patriotic fervor through 48-volume book sets called “My Home Is in China.” Public libraries have removed dozens of books from circulation, including one about the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. # ⚓ Kyle_Rittenhouse,_American_Vigilante⠀⇛ Rittenhouse tried to flag down armored vehicles that were now moving toward the victims, but they passed him by, even after witnesses pointed out that he’d just shot people. Next, he approached a police cruiser, but an officer inside apparently told him, “No—go.” Two men were fatally shot. A third was maimed. Everyone involved in the shootings was white. The astonishing fact that Rittenhouse was allowed to leave the scene underscored the racial double standard that activists had sought to further expose: the police almost certainly wouldn’t have let a Black man pass. # ⚓ A_Florida_Free_Speech_Professor_Discusses_Ron_DeSantis’ Assault_on_the_First_Amendment⠀⇛ University campuses aren’t the only places where DeSantis is working to stifle free speech. In April, he signed an “anti-riot” bill to counter demonstrations around the Derek Chauvin verdict, prompting legal challenges. A month later, he signed a bill that would prevent social media companies from banning accounts of politicians running for office in the state, prompting more legal challenges. A month after that, DeSantis successfully pushed the Florida Board of Education to prohibit the teaching of critical race theory in public school classrooms, arguing such a ban would prevent the school system from “indoctrinating” students with “toxic” ideology. (The unspoken but obvious undercurrent here is that DeSantis is jockeying to be the heir to Donald Trump’s bigoted political empire, possibly through a run for president in 2024.) As we’ve been reminded with terrifying clarity since Trump took office, not even the most foundational elements of American democracy should be taken for granted. This remains the case in Florida, which is now legislating the former president’s assault on the First Amendment. o § Freedom of Information/Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Russia’s_top_cop_and_his_curious_friends_and_family_Police raid_homes_of_journalists_hours_before_release_of_report about_fabulous_wealth_and_dubious_associates_linked_to interior_minister’s_relatives⠀⇛ On June 28, the investigative news website Proekt announced its latest report: a deep dive into the personal history and family wealth of Russia’s top cop, Vladimir Kolokoltsev. The next morning, police officers raided the homes of Maria Zholobova, the story’s author, and Proekt editor-in-chief Roman Badanin. At Zholobova’s home, officials detained Proekt deputy chief editor Mikhail Rubin, whose parents were also visited by the police on Tuesday. The authorities acted under the umbrella of a defamation case related to a documentary series that aired back in 2017 on the television network Dozhd, which Badanin and Zholobova co-created. Despite the raids, Proekt nevertheless released its new report about Kolokoltsev. Meduza summarizes it here. # ⚓ Moscow_police_raid_homes_of_Proekt_journalists_who investigated_Russia’s_top_cop⠀⇛ Police officers in Moscow took three journalists from the investigative outlet Proekt in for questioning after searching their homes on the morning of Tuesday, June 29. The raids coincided with Proekt publishing a major investigative report into the alleged family wealth of Russia’s top police official, Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev. The author of the report, Maria Zholobova, was taken in for questioning alongside Proekt editor-in-chief Roman Badnin and deputy editor-in-chief Mikhail Rubin. Officially, the police raided the journalists’ homes as part of a criminal libel case over a 2017 journalistic investigation into alleged mobster Ilya Traber and his links to Vladimir Putin’s inner-circle. Though the statute of limitations for prosecution has technically lapsed, the three journalists have been declared witnesses in the case. # ⚓ ‘I’ll_survive_some_community_service’_Proekt’s_journalists talk_to_Meduza_after_facing_police_raids_and_interrogations⠀⇛ On the morning of June 29, Moscow police raided the homes of three journalists from the investigative outlet Proekt: editor-in-chief Roman Badanin, his first deputy Mikhail Rubin, and correspondent Maria Zholobova. After seizing their laptops, cell phones, flash drives, and SIM cards, the police took the journalists in for questioning. They were later released after being declared witnesses in a criminal libel case initiated in late 2017 at the request of businessman Ilya Traber — an alleged mobster from St. Petersburg, who’s also a long-time acquaintance of Vladimir Putin. After leaving the interrogation, Roman Badnin told the press that the reason for the raids wasn’t the Traber case, but rather an investigation that Proekt published that same day: a deep dive into the alleged family wealth of Russia’s top police official, Vladimir Kolokoltsev (You can read Meduza’s summary here). Meduza special correspondent Anastasia Yakoreva spoke with the three journalists about what the police were looking for, the questions they asked, and what Proekt plans to do next.  # ⚓ FBI_Fabrication_Against_Assange_Falls_Apart⠀⇛ On the final day of the Assange extradition hearing, magistrate Vanessa Baraitser refused to accept an affidavit from Assange’s solicitor Gareth Peirce, on the grounds it was out of time. The affidavit explained that the defence had been unable to respond to the new accusations in the United States government’s second superseding indictment, because these wholly new matters had been sprung on them just six weeks before the hearing resumed on 8 September 2020. # ⚓ Holder,_Barr,_DOJ_and_FBI_Outed_in_Slimy_Plot_Against Assange⠀⇛ Undeterred by the 2011 mess, in May of 2019 William Barr (probably with equally enthusiastic approval from his boss) stepped into Holder’s shoes by reigniting the disgusting Assange frame-up plot. Quite incredibly, he and the FBI re-embraced the same old child-molesting embezzler–now freshly out of the Icelandic penitentiary–to bear false witness on a raft of newly concocted DOJ criminal charges against Assange. As part of the payoff to their jailbird stool pigeon, the FBI-DOJ even promised him US immunity from whatever string of fraud, forging and hacking crimes he had committed in Iceland over the years–immunity that apparently inspired this creep to launch a new and expanded crime wave. I defy you to find a whisper of this major scandal anywhere in our MSM (save Amy Goodman, who managed to get this past the NPR filter). Nor will you find a whisper in the UK’s MSM, who of course will be busy covering up Westminster District Judge Vanessa Baraitser’s complicity in the fraudulent US charges. # ⚓ Attorney_General_Says_He’ll_Support_Legislation_That_Bans The_DOJ_From_Targeting_Reporters_During_Leak_Investigations⠀⇛ The first half of this year has been periodically interrupted with news of the DOJ’s attempts to obtain journalists’ phone and email records.

They include Vtime, a Russian online newspaper that closed earlier this month, Akhbar Al-Ayoum, a Moroccan daily that shut down in March, and two newspapers in Myanmar, 7 Day News and Eleven.

The recent vagaries of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) have been well- publicized: Following conspicuously Catholic President Biden’s reversal of a decades-long ban on federal abortion funding, the USCCB voted to draft a document that would redefine the Eucharistic discipline (that is, encourage or possibly even mandate priests not to grant communion to openly pro-choice Catholic politicians). A subsequent document apparently backtracked on the decision, claiming, “There will be no national policy on withholding Communion from politicians.” All of a sudden, everyone had an opinion. # ⚓ Free_the_Children:_Advocates_Demand_Biden_Close_Fort_Bliss Detention_Center_Holding_800_Migrant_Kids⠀⇛ Migrant children held by the Biden administration are reporting suicide and escape attempts and conditions of spoiled food, extreme heat and panic attacks in the largest so-called emergency shelter for migrant children in the U.S., at the Fort Bliss military base in El Paso, Texas. More than 14,000 migrant children are currently in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services, which has set up 15 emergency sites like the one at Fort Bliss to get them out of overcrowded Border Patrol holding facilities. Vice President Kamala Harris did not visit the Fort Bliss tent city on her recent visit to the southern border, and Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra was met with protests when he toured the facility Monday. “We have seen so many instances of potential abuse inside that specific detention center,” says Fernando García, founding director of the Border Network for Human Rights, who met with Harris during her visit. “Instead of investing in jails,” he says the administration should take a more humane approach and “build welcoming centers to expedite family reunification.” # ⚓ UK_Weighs_‘Shockingly_Cruel’_Plan_to_Detain_Refugees_in Offshore_Holding_Centers⠀⇛ European officials and human rights groups warned the United Kingdom’s right-wing government is on the brink of violating the Geneva Conventions if it follows through with a plan to open an offshore hub where refugees will be sent if they attempt to enter the country.

Above all else, what the pandemic revealed about our educational system is that public schools provide far more than they should, serving as “the great equalizer” in an increasingly stratified society—serving in fact as welfare states, as health care facilities, as child care centers, as sources for counseling and for free breakfasts and lunches. # ⚓ While_Average_People_Suffered,_5_Million_People_Became Millionaires_Under_COVID-19⠀⇛ Most of the increase in wealth was concentrated in already wealthy countries, with the United States accounting for a third of the new millionaires. The number of millionaires in China is increasing and has now reached around one in two hundred; but in the United States, 8 percent of the population are now millionaires. How is it that the countries worst affected by the pandemic were also those that registered some of the largest increases in wealth over the course of the last year? One reason stands out above all others: central bank asset purchases. # ⚓ 751_unmarked_graves_discovered_at_Canadian_residential school_site_in_Saskatchewan⠀⇛ The Cowessess First Nation has announced that 751 unmarked graves have been discovered on reserve land that once housed the Marieval Indian Residential School in Saskatchewan’s Qu’Appelle Valley. This grisly discovery comes just weeks after the remains of 215 children were discovered on the site of an Indian residential school in Kamloops, British Columbia, and sheds light, yet again, on the brutal and inhumane treatment Canadian capitalism and its state have meted out to the indigenous population. # ⚓ This_Suicidal,_Gasoline-Drenched_Man_Burned_to_Death_After Cops_Tased_Him._A_Federal_Court_Says_That’s_Reasonable Force.⠀⇛ The lower court in this case withheld qualified immunity from the officers. But the 5th Circuit overturned. “In what legal universe is it not even plausibly unreasonable to knowingly immolate someone?” Willett asks. “How is it reasonable—more accurately, not plausibly unreasonable—to set someone on fire to prevent him from setting himself on fire?”b # ⚓ EFF_to_Ecuador’s_Human_Rights_Secretariat:_Protecting Security_Experts_is_Vital_to_Safeguard_Everyone’s_Rights⠀⇛ The circumstances around Ola Bini’s detention, which was fraught with due process violations described by his defense, sparked international attention and indicated the growing seriousness of security experts’ harassment in Latin America. The criminal prosecution has dragging out for two years since Bini’s release. And as a suspect under trial, Ola Bini continues to be deprived of the full enjoyment of his rights. During 2020, pre-trial hearings set for examining Bini’s case were suspended and rescheduled at least five times. The Office of the IACHR Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression expressed concern  with this delay in its 2020′s annual report. Last suspended in December, the pre-trial hearing is set to continue this Tuesday (6/29). Ecuador’s new President, Guillermo Lasso, recently appointed a new head for the country’s Human Rights Secretariat, Ms. Bernarda Ordoñez Moscoso. We hope Ms. Ordoñez can play a relevant role by bridging the protection of security experts to the Secretariat’s mission of upholding human rights. EFF’s letter calls upon Ecuadors’ Human Rights Secretariat to give special attention to Ola Bini’s upcoming hearing and prosecution. As we’ve stressed in our letter, o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Support_For_Community_Broadband_Could_Be_On_Chopping_Block As_‘Bipartisan_Broadband_Negotiations’_Continue⠀⇛ We’ve already noted how the Biden broadband plan was good, but arguably vague. As in, the outline proclaims that the government will boost competition and lower prices, but it doesn’t actually get at all specific about how it actually hopes to do that. For example the plan proposes providing more support for community broadband, but with 17 ISP-backed state laws prohibiting such efforts (and new ones popping up in states like Ohio), it’s not clear what that support will actually look like. # ⚓ Biden_Compares_His_Broadband_Push_to_Early_20th_Century Rural_Electrification⠀⇛ Broadband [Internet] “isn’t a luxury. It’s now a necessity, like water and electricity,” the president remarked in his latest speech outside Washington to push for congressional passage of a bipartisan $1.2 trillion infrastructure package. # ⚓ Don’t_forget_that_not_all_[Internet]_access_is_created equal⠀⇛ Given the disparities evidenced in our research, HEIs could specifically target students from rural areas and/or those receiving financial aid to canvass their views. They may find that these students had a very different experience from that presented at the national level. Second, and relatedly, we suggested in our research that HEIs need to consider the specific characteristics of their student population in terms of socio-economic background, geography and the level of campus access when deciding upon the scale and scope of online offerings in the future. A teaching and learning strategy based upon sophisticated and best-practice online delivery approaches from the teaching side will be of limited use if the relevant student population doesn’t have the resources to engage effectively with online content. # ⚓ The_CRTC_“Will_Be_Picking_Winners_and_Losers”:_A_Report_on Day_Two_of_the_Senate_Bill_C-10_Debate⠀⇛ The Bill C-10 debate continues in the Senate for one more today later this afternoon. # ⚓ A_Wide,_Diverse_Coalition_Agrees_on_What_Congress_Needs_to Do_About_Our_Broadband⠀⇛ What Unifies so Many Different Groups? Fully Funding Universal, Affordable, Future-Proof Access For months Congress has been hounded by big ISP lobbyists interested in preserving their companies’ take of government money. However, the big ISPs—your AT&Ts, Comcasts, and the former Time Warner Cable—want to preserve the monopolies that have resulted in our current limited, expensive, slow internet access. All Americans have the opposite needs and interests. We need a strong focus on building 21st century ready infrastructure to everyone. At the core of all new networks lies fiber optic wires, which is an inconvenient fact for legacy monopolies that intended to rely on obsolete wires for years to come. And all this opposition is happening while a billion fiber lines are being laid in the advanced Asian markets, primarily led by China, calling into question whether the United States wants to keep up or be left behind. They’ve argued that broadband is very affordable and that efforts to promote the public model to address rural and low-income access was akin to a “Soviet” take over of broadband. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ Court_Ruling_in_Facebook’s_Favor_Seen_as_Reason_for_Urgent Antitrust_Reform⠀⇛ A federal court’s Monday dismissal of lawsuits against Facebook brought by the Federal Trade Commission and a coalition of state attorneys general elicited fresh calls for antitrust reform. “Once again, our antitrust laws have been shown by the courts to be woefully inadequate to address the abuses of the richest companies in the world,” said Alex Harman, competition policy advocate for Public Citizen, in response to the ruling. # ⚓ The_Biden_Administration_and_Congress_Have_a_Chance_to_Tame Big_Tech⠀⇛ Earlier this month, President Biden appointed Lina Khan to chair the Federal Trade Commission, the agency tasked with protecting consumers and promoting competition. A leader in the movement for strong antitrust enforcement and an unflinching critic of Big Tech, Khan was confirmed by the Senate in an unusually bipartisan vote, with 21 Republicans joining 46 Democrats and two independents to support her nomination. What makes this rare show of cross-party unity even rarer is that it was in support of a cause that progressives can be genuinely enthusiastic about. But strengthening antitrust protections could be a path to realizing a major progressive priority: reversing the concentration of wealth that has fueled growing inequality. # ⚓ Court_Tosses_Both_FTC_And_States’_Antitrust_Cases_Against Facebook;_You_Gotta_Have_More_Than_‘Big_Facebook_Bad’⠀⇛ As you’ll almost certainly recall, last December the FTC filed an antitrust case against Facebook. That happened the same day 46 states (and DC and Guam) also sued Facebook for antitrust violations in a separate case. Also it was right after the DOJ went after Google on antitrust grounds. # ⚓ Germany_opens_antitrust_probe_against_Apple⠀⇛ The watchdog said it has initiated the first stage of the probe to determine if Apple has “cross- market significance”. [...] “A key focus of the investigation will be the operation of the App Store, because in many cases, it empowers Apple to have an influence on the business activities of third parties,” he added. # ⚓ Sen._Warren_calls_for_‘meticulous’_review_of_Amazon’s_MGM acquisition⠀⇛ The FTC is said to be reviewing the deal as part of a larger antitrust investigation of Amazon’s business. In her letter to Khan, Warren cited Section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act as barring mergers for which the outcome “may be substantially to lessen competition, or to tend to create a monopoly.” Warren argued that because Amazon’s economic impact is so far-reaching — including but not limited to its services business — a deal that benefits its streaming service Prime Video will only strengthen its position in the marketplace. # ⚓ Google-Microsoft_Truce_Crumbles_Amid_Feud_Over_Cloud,_Ad Tech⠀⇛ # ⚓ America_world’s_sole_cyber_superpower,_ten_years_ahead_of China,_says_Brit_think_tank⠀⇛ The United States is comfortably the world’s most powerful nation when measured on “cyber capabilities that make the greatest difference to national power,” according to British think tank The International Institute for Strategic Studies. [...] America was ranked the sole Tier-One Nation, meaning it possesses “world-leading strengths in all the categories in the methodology”. The report says America’s “capability for offensive cyber operations is probably more developed than that of any other country, although its full potential remains largely undemonstrated”. An interesting observation given the recent Colonial Pipeline ransomware incident is that “The US has moved more effectively than any other country to defend its critical national infrastructure in cyberspace”. That opinion is tempered with the observation that the United States “recognises that the task is extremely difficult and that major weaknesses remain”. Australia, Canada, China, France, Israel, Russia, and the UK were rated Tier-Two nations, meaning they possess “world-leading strengths in some of the categories”. # § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Facebook_just_filed_a_patent_for_a_baseball_cap_with a_built-in_AR_headset_and_it_looks_terribly_cringe⠀⇛ This is an opinion piece. All views expressed in this article belong to me, the editor. I don’t believe in punching down. As the editor of a pretty well-to-do design magazine, it makes little sense to call out individual designers and students over their work. I do, however, believe in being able to hold larger companies and billion-dollar OEMs to a different standard. There is power in being able to critique designs and help the world understand what’s measurably good and what isn’t… which is why I think it’s alright to sometimes critically look at Apple’s Cheesegrater Mac, the Tesla Cybertruck, or in this case, Facebook’s AR Baseball Cap which is frankly ugly enough to make Google Glass look cutting-edge. # ⚓ Noxopharm_secures_key_European_patent_allowance_for Veyonda®_anti-cancer_drug_candidate [Ed: This won’t help_tackle_cancer⠀⇛ Specifically, the European Patent Office has issued a formal Notice of Allowance of claims for patent application number 17778482.4, indicating an intention to move to the patent grant stage. Overall, Noxopharm believes the patent allowance bodes well for related Veyonda patent applications in Europe and other important territories such as the US. [...] Once granted, Noxopharm’s new European patent will be tied to the therapeutic use of its idronoxil immune-oncology drug in a suppository dosage formulation, intended to provide a steady-state blood level of drug. The patent will run through to April 2037, meaning Noxopharm’s Veyonda candidate has enforceable rights under patent protection for another 16 years. # § Software Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Jenam_Tech_settles_with_Unified⠀⇛ On June 29, 2021, the Board issued an order terminating IPR2020-00742 pursuant to a joint settlement request filed by Unified Patents and Jenam Tech, LLC, an NPE and Oso IP affiliate. U.S. Patent 9,923,995 is generally directed to sharing information for detecting an idle network connection between two nodes, and has been asserted in district court cases against LG, Samsung, and Google. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Is_the_Pirate_Queen_of_Scientific_Publishing_in_Real Trouble_This_Time?⠀⇛ It’s been a rough few months for Sci-Hub, the beloved outlaw repository of scientific papers. In January its Twitter account, which had more than 180,000 followers, was permanently suspended. In response to a lawsuit brought by publishers, new papers aren’t being added to its library. The website is blocked in a dozen countries, including Austria, Britain, and France. There are rumors of an FBI investigation. And yet Alexandra Elbakyan, the 32-year-old graduate student who founded the site in 2011, seems more or less unfazed. I spoke with her recently via Zoom with the assistance of a Russian translator. Elbakyan, who is originally from Kazakhstan, has a bachelor’s degree in computer science and coded Sci-Hub herself. She lives in Moscow now and is studying philosophy at the Russian Academy of Sciences. Back when she started the site, which offers access to north of 85 million papers, she didn’t expect to be fending off lawsuits and dodging investigations a decade on. “I thought Sci-Hub would become legal in a couple of years,” she said. “When the laws are obviously in the way of scientific development, they should be canceled.” # ⚓ Court_Orders_YouTube_Rippers_to_Log_and_Share_Data with_Record_Labels⠀⇛ A Virginia District Court has ordered the Russian operator of two popular YouTube rippers to keep extensive logs of user activity and hand these over to the major record labels. The order was requested by the labels, which argue that FLVTO.biz and 2conv.com facilitate massive copyright infringement in the United States and abroad. # ⚓ High_Court_Grants_Default_Judgment_in_Bitcoin.org Copyright_Infringement_Case⠀⇛ The High Court in London has issued an injunction in favor of Craig Wright, the self-professed inventor of bitcoin. The Australian computer scientist filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against ‘Cøbra’, the operator of Bitcoin.org, demanding that they stop making available a copy of the bitcoin white paper published under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. # ⚓ Ubisoft_Teams_Up_With_Mystery_Rights_Holder_To_Remove Fun_Fan-Made_‘GoldenEye_007′_Maps_From_‘Far_Cry’⠀⇛ We have seen our monumentally absurd permission and copyright culture kill off all sorts of cool fan projects. Perhaps no industry is impacted by this more than the video game space, where you have the combination of rabid fans of particular games and franchises coupled with an above average level of technical skill in exhibiting that fandom. This combination sees an absolute ton of fan-made projects, including ports of games to different hardware, fan-made games, and even the re-creation of old games within new ones. It should be obvious that all of this carries very little monetary risk for the game makers, and, in fact, often times could be a boon, and yet it is all too common for publishers and developers to sic lawyers on their own fans rather than figuring out a way to coexist or benefit from them. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 5540 ➮ Generation completed at 02:40, i.e. 33 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
