GNU/Linux, Kernel, Microsoft at 2:16 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link | md5sum 4292623476db255526d69d5a09889c2c Linux Foundation a Fake and a Fraud Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0 http://techrights.org/videos/linux-foundation-fake-stuff.webm Summary: The video above shows empirical evidence that Microsoft openwashing and false “engagement” are being used to make money by diluting the brand “Linux” THE Linux_Foundation is a scam and it’s managed by career frauds [1, 2]. There’s a lot at stake because many people wrongly call the GNU/Linux operating system just “Linux” and this_foundation_is_taking_control_of_GNU,_too. That’s almost like Microsoft and other GPL violators taking control of the thing they’re attacking. “Google seems to be fine with YouTube channels where ~95% of the “views” are clickfraud.”The video above shows how the so-called ‘Linux’ Foundation misleads people in social control media, with focus on Twitter and YouTube. Sometimes it is done indirectly (outsourcing to Jono_Bacon and SPAMnil [1, 2, 3], among others). Sometimes it’s done more_directly_and_blatantly. It’s crystal clear that the so-called ‘Linux’ Foundation violates the terms of service (ironic because they fancy mentioning the Code of Conduct) by selling_tweets, but how about all those fake followers/subscribers? Are they immune from action? Are rules applied uniformly and consistently against corporate front groups such as the so-called ‘Linux’ Foundation? And if not, what does that tell us? We did a video_about_this_before in relation to SPAMnil in particular. Google seems to be fine with YouTube channels where ~95% of the “views” are clickfraud. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 325 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 10.15.22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Links_15/10/2022:_Sparky_2022.10_Special_Editions_and_Ardour_7.0⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 4:19 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Desktop/Laptop o Audiocasts/Shows o Kernel_Space o Applications o Instructionals/Technical o Desktop_Environments/WMs # K_Desktop_Environment/KDE_SC/Qt * Distributions_and_Operating_Systems o BSD o Debian_Family o Canonical/Ubuntu_Family o Open_Hardware/Modding o Mobile_Systems/Mobile_Applications * Free,_Libre,_and_Open_Source_Software o Content_Management_Systems_(CMS) o Programming/Development # Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh # Rust * Leftovers o Security # Privacy/Surveillance o Environment # Energy o AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics # Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda o Monopolies # Software_Patents * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal o Technical # Science * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ You_Can_Now_Install_TUXEDO_OS_on_a_Regular Computer:_Here’s_How⠀⇛ TUXEDO OS is an operating system developed specifically for hardware sold by TUXEDO. But now, you can install it on any non-TUXEDO device as well. There’s a growing trend for Linux-focused PC vendors to develop their own distro to showcase the best points of their shiny new hardware. Until recently, TUXEDO OS was available only as a pre- installed option on machines from TUXEDO Computers, now anyone can download and install it on their computer. o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ Video ☛ Free_Software_Foundation_Does_Not_Endorse_Debian!_– Invidious⠀⇛ Debian is generally considered a 100% free software distro but a lot of people are misinformed about the fact that Debian is not endorsed by the Free Software Foundation and in fact has never been # ⚓ Video ☛ Difficult_Programming_Concepts_Explained_– Invidious⠀⇛ In this video I cover several difficult to understanding programming concepts to help you gain some new clarity. # ⚓ Video ☛ INTEL_code_LEAKS,_Ubuntu_Pro_goes_free,_Nextcloud takes_on_Google_and_Apple_–_Linux_+_FOSS_News_–_Invidious⠀⇛ # ⚓ Video ☛ E88:_Tech_Talk_w/_Rashad_Morton_–_Senior_Software Engineering,_Black_Tech_Cloud_Networks_Inc._–_Invidious⠀⇛ o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux_6.0.2⠀⇛ I'm announcing the release of the 6.0.2 kernel. All users of the 6.0 kernel series must upgrade. The updated 6.0.y git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ stable/linux-stable.git linux-6.0.y and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/ linux-stable.git;a=summary thanks, greg k-h # ⚓ Linux_5.19.16⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux_5.15.74⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux_5.10.148⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux_5.4.218⠀⇛ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Linux_6.0.2⠀⇛ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Linux_5.19.16⠀⇛ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Linux_5.15.74⠀⇛ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Linux_5.10.148⠀⇛ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Linux_5.4.218⠀⇛ # ⚓ Matt Rickard ☛ eBPF_File_Watching⠀⇛ How do you know when a file has been changed on a filesystem? Developer tools that need to hot-reload programs or kick off compilation or deploy loops on code changes need a reliable source of information (at Google, I built this for Kubernetes development). You can periodically poll for changes – that’s potentially slow and intensive for large file subtrees. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Ardour_7.0_Open-Source_DAW_Released_with_Clip Launching_&_Sequencing,_Loop_Libraries⠀⇛ Ardour 7.0 is here more than a year after Ardour 6.9 and introduces significant new features like clip launching (a.k.a. cues) to allow you to experiment with combinations of various loops and one-shot samples. This feature is similar to the workflow you’ll find in commercial software like Ableton Live. Cues can be controlled in Ardour 7.0 using Ableton’s Push 2 surface. Support for Novation Launchpads and similar devices is planned for future releases. Along with clip launching, the new Ardour release also introduces loop libraries to access tons of additional audio and MIDI loops. # ⚓ Ardour_7.0_released⠀⇛ October 15th, 2022: After more than a year since Ardour 6.9, Ardour 7.0 is now available. This new release features major new features for the software, as well as substantial (even if largely invisible) internal engineering changes. We are happy to bring “clip launching” functionality into Ardour for the first time, along with many other significant improvements, including lots of enhancements for MIDI editing …. This release also sees the addition of official builds for Apple Silicon systems (previously available only via the nightly build site). It is also the end of 32 bit builds for Ardour for all platforms as part of the official download site. Some will remain available on the nightly site for the near-term future. # ⚓ Unix Men ☛ Tools_for_Linux_Users_to_Not_Miss_Out_On⠀⇛ Linux is the least popular “mainstream” operating system. Unlike its main competitors, Linux is free and open source, which is perfect for various circumstances. It’s also highly customizable, allowing users to add different features based on need. But in order to customize this operating system according to your preferences, it’s necessary to know about some of the valuable tools. This article will outline ten Linux tools you shouldn’t miss out on… o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_Element_Matrix_on_Debian_11_– idroot⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Element Matrix on Debian 11. For those of you who didn’t know, Element is a free and open-source software instant messaging client implementing the Matrix protocol. The Element supports end-to-end encryption, groups, and sharing of files between users. It is available as a web application, as a desktop app for all major operating systems, and as a mobile app for Android and iOS. 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 the step-by-step installation of the Element Matrix instant messaging client on a Debian 11 (Bullseye). # ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_VMware_Workstation_on_Rocky_Linux 9_–_idroot⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install VMware Workstation on Rocky Linux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, VMware is a virtualization tool developed by VMware, Inc. This tool developed in 1998, as a subsidiary of Dell Technologies, bases its virtualization technology on the ESX/ESXi in x86 architecture. In computing, Virtualization is the technology that allows you to create virtual machines over an existing operating system, hardware, server, desktop, storage device, or network resources. 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 the step-by-step installation of the VMware Workstation on Rocky Linux. 9. # ⚓ Start_monitoring_your_server_with_a_single_curl_command.⠀⇛ # ⚓ Show_a_zoomable_world_map⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Cloud VPS ☛ 10_Useful_lsof_Commands_in_Linux_With Examples⠀⇛ In this blog post, we are going to show you ten useful lsof commands in Linux with examples. The lsof command is a shortcut to List open files and shows the open files and which processes are using them. The lsof output describes several things, such as the identification number of the process that has opened the file, the process group identification number, the command the process is executing, the owner of the process, and many more. In this tutorial, we will use the latest Ubuntu 22.04 OS, but you can choose any Linux distro you want.

With the touch command, we can easily create files, empty files, modify files, timestamps and etc. # ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_PyCharm_on_Rocky_Linux_9_– idroot⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install PyCharm on Rocky Linux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, Pycharm is a cross-platform, Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for Python programming language that is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux systems. It provides some very useful features like Code completion and inspection, Debugging process, support for various programming frameworks such as Flask and Django, Package Management, etc. 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 the step-by-step installation of PyCharm on Rocky Linux. 9. # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Cache_folders_excluded_from_snapshots⠀⇛ When there is a version upgrade, the ‘init’ script in the initrd creates a snapshot of the /mnt/ wkg/.session folder as a ‘rw-*.sfs’ file. For example, when upgraded to Easy 4.4.1, /mnt/wkg/ releases/easy-4.4.1/rw-4.4.1.sfs got created. # ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ How_to_Enable_and_Access_USB_Drive_in VirtualBox⠀⇛ Here’s a precise guide on how you can enable USB in Oracle VirtualBox. # ⚓ H2S Media ☛ How_to_set_Kitty_as_default_terminal_in_Ubuntu 22.04_or_20.04⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will talk about Kitty Terminal developed in Python and C programming languages. It is a highly configurable Terminal app in the open- source category, the source code is available on GitHub. Well, Kitty Terminal is not some fancy app with lots of inbuilt features instead it has been developed to keep one thing in mind i.e performance and low consumption of system resources. However, a user can customize it with the help of its configuration such as Fonts, window size, background, and foreground color, and more… # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ How_to_use_SIGINT_and_other_Termination Signals_in_Linux⠀⇛ You must be used to use Ctrl + C for terminating any process, but do you know it sends the SIGINT signal? But there are more types of terminating signals than just using SIGINT (cough Ctrl + c cough). So let’s dive deep into the ocean of terminating signals!! # ⚓ jmtd_→_log_→_podman_generate⠀⇛ I’ve been working with and on container technology for seven years, but I still learn new things every day. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Runnning_lambda_functions_on_a_specific_thread_with Qt_–_Linus_Jahn⠀⇛ Recently I’ve worked a lot with multithreading and wanted to share a very simple but useful tool. However, Qt-experts won’t be surprised. # ⚓ Plasma_5.26_and_Plasma_Mobile_Gear_22.09_in_Manjaro ARM⠀⇛ Both Plasma Mobile Gear 22.09 and Plasma 5.26 have now hit Manjaro ARMs unstable branch, so it’s time to get some testing in before it gets to stable branch. [...] We did have a few hiccups along the way. Namely a long standing bug on our end, prohibited the panels from starting. This was a configuration issue on our end, made visible by the update to Plasma 5.26, which we have now fixed. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Ubuntu Pit ☛ 10_Most_Popular_Linux_Distros_Available_Out_There_in 2022⠀⇛ In 2022, the most popular Linux distributions are MX Linux, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Fedora, and OpenSUSE. These distributions have remained popular due to their user- friendly interfaces and wide range of software support. While other distributions, such as Arch Linux and Debian, will continue to be popular among more experienced users, they do not offer the same level of convenience or ease of use that these four distributions provide. As the Linux ecosystem continues to grow, there will likely be even more distributions that become popular in the coming years. However, it is unlikely that any of these new distributions will unseat the current leaders. This is because the user base for Linux is relatively small compared to other operating systems such as Windows and macOS. This means developers are less incentivized to create new distributions catering to a specific niche. While the current crop of Linux distributions is more than adequate for most users, there is always room for improvement. For example, some users may prefer a more lightweight and efficient distribution. Others may want a distribution that offers more cutting-edge features. Whatever the case may be, there is sure to be a Linux distribution that meets your needs. o ⚓ Matt Rickard ☛ Why_Is_NixOS_Popular_Again?⠀⇛ There’s been a renewed interest in NixOS, and its package manager, nixpkgs. The key feature of Nix is declarative configuration – the Linux-based operating system is defined by a set of declarative packages built by the Nix package manager, nixpkgs. It was originally released in 2003 but lately has been seeing renewed interest: a more formal team structure around development (link), new startups built around Nix, 30% YoY user growth (link), and exponential growth in GitHub stars. Is NixOS gaining rapid adoption, or is it just hype? My interest in Nix came during the mid-2010s when I looked at it as a model to solve to the difficulty of installing and configuring packages inside Docker containers. There were a few attempts at making a container-native OS (notably, CoreOS), but neither those operating systems nor NixOS ultimately stuck. There’s been a few notable startups using Nix, but otherwise, I haven’t seen much adoption in the wild. Replit uses Nix to decrease startup times for REPLs (which comes mostly from installing packages). Cardano, the blockchain, uses Nix to configure nodes. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ NetBSD ☛ NetBSD_Arm_on_Oracle_Cloud⠀⇛ Support for running NetBSD on Oracle Cloud Arm- Based Compute Instances has been added to NetBSD - current. A build of NetBSD/evbarm64 after 2022-10-15 will generate a bootable image (arm64.img.gz) that can be converted to a Custom Image that can run on Oracle Cloud. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Sparky_2022.10_Special_Editions_–_SparkyLinux⠀⇛ There are new iso images of Sparky 2022.10 Special Editions: GameOver, Multimedia & Rescue ready to go. Sparky “GameOver” Edition features a lightweight desktop, a very large number of preinstalled games, useful tools and scripts. Built for gamers. Sparky “Multimedia” Edition uses a lightweight desktop environment and features a large set of tools for creating and editing graphics, audio, video and HTML pages. Sparky “Rescue” Edition is an operating system which works in a live DVD/USB mode only (no installation on a hard drive). The Live system contains a large set of tools for scanning and fixing files, partitions and operating systems installed on hard drives. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Ubuntu_Once_Again_Angered_Users_by_Placing_Ads in_the_Terminal⠀⇛ Canonical’s placement of an advertisement for its “Ubuntu Pro” service in the application update tool sparked heated debate among users. Ubuntu has once again sparked debate among Linux users by implementing a very controversial approach – using the most often used shell command, notably the software update tool, to advertise its service. But first, let me explain what this is all about. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ peppe8o ☛ Pulse_Sensor_with_Raspberry_PI_Pico:_Hearth_Beat Chech_with_MicroPython⠀⇛ Checking heartbeats has more applications than one could think. For example, it is a required feature in projects involving sports IoT devices. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Medevel ☛ Trekarta_Is_an_Open_Source_App_for_Hiking, Cycling,_and_Off-road_Activities⠀⇛ Trekarta (former MapTrek) is designed for hiking, geocaching, off-roading, cycling, boating and all other outdoor activities. It uses offline maps, so you do not need to have internet connection. Trekarta is developed as a hobby for personal use but is generously shared to public on as-is basis. Developers are welcome to contribute to the project. Specifically experts in OpenGL and PostGIS are much needed. With it, you can easily import places and tracks from GPX and KML data formats or create waypoints in application and share them to others. It lets you write the track of your journey, even in the background, so you will never get lost and be able later see where you’ve been. [...] Trekarta is released as an open source Libre project under the GPL-3.0 License. # ⚓ Ubuntu Pit ☛ 5_Best_Digital_Wallet_Apps_for_Android_to_Use on_2022⠀⇛ The world is now enjoying technological advantages, and the old analog days have now gone. You no longer need to carry your wallet everywhere if you are living in a technologically developed country. Just have your phone with you; it will work as your wallet. Don’t you get it? # ⚓ Medevel ☛ G-Droid:_An_Alternative_Android_Store_for_Open Source_apps⠀⇛ F-Droid is a free marketplace and application store for open-source apps. It contains numerous apps classified under several categories. Many Android users have it on their devices, as it is the primary source for installing free, ads-free apps that do not contain any trackers, or share user’s data with other services. While F-Droid is a great app, it lacks many handful features, therefore, G-Droid comes in. G-Droid is based on the F-Droid application repository, so it has the same content, yet with different presentation and better search. # ⚓ CNET ☛ Clear_Your_Android_Web_Browser’s_Cache_to_Remove Files_You_Don’t_Need_–_CNET⠀⇛ # ⚓ GSM Arena ☛ OnePlus_9RT_gets_Android_13-based_OxygenOS_13 Open_Beta_–_GSMArena.com_news⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ The_best_Apple_News_alternatives_on Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ 8_Ways_to_Fix_Ghost_Touch_Problems_With Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Authority ☛ 5_Android_apps_you_shouldn’t_miss_this week_–_Android_Apps_Weekly⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Content Management Systems (CMS)⠀➾ # ⚓ Medevel ☛ TypiCMS:_a_Modular_Open-source_CMS_based_on Laravel⠀⇛ Laravel is a popular open-source enterprise grade web framework. While there are many open source content management systems (CMSs) that built on react, they yet focus on offering a compact system or bare bone one. That is not the case of TypeiCMS, so what it is different? TypiCMS is a free open-source Laravel CMS that can be used to build and complex enterprise content system. It offers support for pages, posts, events, news, places, and custom post types. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Drew DeVault ☛ Status_update,_October_2022⠀⇛ After a few busy and stressful months, I decided to set aside October to rest. Of course, for me, rest does not mean a cessation of programming, but rather a shift in priorities towards more fun and experimental projects. Consequently, it has been a great month for Helios! Hare upstream has enjoyed some minor improvements, such as from Pierre Curto’s patch to support parsing IPv6 addresses with a port (e.g. “[::1]: 80”) and Kirill Primak’s improvements to the UTF- 8 decoder. On the whole, improvements have been conservative. However, queued up for integration once qbe upstream support is merged is support for @threadlocal variables, which are useful for Helios and for ABI compatibility with C. I also drafted up a proof-of-concept for @inline functions, but it still needs work. Now for the main event: Helios. The large-scale redesign and refactoring I mentioned in the previous status update is essentially complete, and the kernel reached (and exceeded) feature parity with the previous status quo. Since Helios has been my primary focus for the past couple of weeks, I have a lot of news to share about it. # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Limine_version_3.20221014.1_compiled_in_OE⠀⇛ # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Conan_package_manager_compiled_in_OE⠀⇛ # § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ # ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ Get_stock_and_crypto_price_data_using shell_terminal_on_Linux⠀⇛ If you want to retrieve stock quotes and crypto price data, you do not even need to leave your command line terminal. In this tutorial, we will show you how to use a Bash script to get stocks and crypto pricing on a Linux system. # § Rust⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 6_Top_Free_and_Open_Source_Rust_Web Micro-Frameworks_–_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ One of the types of software that’s important for a web developer is the web framework. A framework “is a code library that makes a developer’s life easier when building reliable, scalable, and maintainable web applications” by providing reusable code or extensions for common operations. By saving development time, developers can concentrate on application logic rather than mundane elements. A web framework offers the developer a choice about how to solve a specific problem. By using a framework, a developer lets the framework control portions of their application. While it’s perfectly possible to code a web application without using a framework, it’s more practical to use one. Rust is a systems programming language that runs fast, prevents segmentation faults, and guarantees thread safety. It accomplishes these goals by being memory safe without using garbage collection. The language enables developers to write programs with the performance and control of a low-level language, but with the powerful abstractions of a high-level language. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Tedium ☛ Self-Referential_Fame:_Famous_for_Claiming_to_Be Famous⠀⇛ On October 1st, 1932, legendary baseball player George “Babe” Ruth did something he was famous for. He hit a home run. But this was his most famous home run, one that would be familiar to anyone with a moderate understanding of 20th century American history. “The Babe’s Called Shot” is a part of American folklore, rather than verifiable history, because we don’t know if it actually happened. The Babe says he called it. The pitcher, Charlie Root, says Ruth was gesturing to the crowd. But considering Ruth’s stature as one of America’s greatest sports icons, his version of events won out in the larger public consciousness, even if baseball fans are aware of the full controversy. The weight of fame is not consistent. Some people are “famous”, a rare few are famous. While there is no one path to fame (or its cousins notability, notoriety, and infamy), the potential rewards entice a great many to overlook the risks. And quite a few achieve fame by simply calling themselves famous. Today’s Tedium is looking at the concept of self- referential fame and just what it means to be famous anyway. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Security Boulevard ☛ Linux_Fixes_5_Gaping_Holes_in_Wi-Fi_– Security_Boulevard⠀⇛ Linux’s Wi-Fi code has some nasty bugs, which can be exploited simply by being near an attacker. Remote code execution is a possibility—no need to actually connect to a malicious Wi-Fi network. They’ve been there for more than three years, and are caused by our old friend: Memory-unsafe C code. What other nasties lurk in the open source kernel powering billions of phones, routers and IoT devices? # ⚓ Daniel Aleksandersen ☛ TP-Link_network_equipment_hijacks some_DNS_requests⠀⇛ TP-Link network products — including Wi-Fi routers, repeaters, and access points (AP) — use deep packet inspection (DPI) to intercept specific Domain Name System (DNS) requests. Each product looks for one or two domain names and will hijack the request to issue a local response containing its own internet protocol (IP) address. TP-Link wants to make it easier for its customers to get into the web administration interfaces of its products. No one wants to remember the IP address needed to access it, right? The IP address can also change over time, depending on your network configuration. # ⚓ CyberRisk Alliance LLC ☛ Researchers_detail_new_C2_attack framework_targeting_Windows,_macOS_and_Linux [Ed: This is a security problem only if the malware gets to the system in the first place]⠀⇛ Researchers have discovered a new Chinese-language single-file command-and-control (C2) attack framework being widely used in attacks targeting Windows, Linux and Mac machines. The framework called “Alchimist” is a 64-bit Linux executable written in GoLang and loaded with resources for web interface and Inseket RAT payloads compiled for Windows and Linux, according to a new report from Cisco Talos. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ iTWire_–_Woolworths_subsidiary_MyDeal_suffers data_breach,_2.2m_users_affected⠀⇛ The MyDeal site is hosted by Amazon in the US, according to Internet services company Netcraft, and appears to use ASP.NET, technology sold by Microsoft. As per Microsoft’s own site, “ASP.NET is a free, cross-platform, open source framework for building Web apps and services with .NET and C#.” # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Patrick Breyer ☛ EU_chat_control_negotiations_kick off:_Commissioner_Johansson_defends_controversial surveillance_law_before_LIBE_committee_–_Patrick Breyer⠀⇛ Today from 3-4 p.m., EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson will officially present her controversial draft law on mandatory message and chat control to the EU Parliament’s Civil Liberties Committee (LIBE) and answer MEPs’ questions. With the law, the Commission wants to oblige providers of email, chat and messenger services, among others, to search for suspicious messages in a fully automated way and forward them to the police, citing the of prosecuting “child pornography” as reason. End-to-end encryption would have to be thwarted by scans on all cell phones. o § Environment⠀➾ # § Energy⠀➾ # ⚓ The Verge ☛ NASA’s_aircraft_will_elevate_the_hunt_for critical_minerals_in_the_US_–_The_Verge⠀⇛ o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Fujitsu_and_Japanese_Uni_want internet_‘endorsement_layer’_•_The_Register⠀⇛ Fujitsu and Japan’s Keio University have proposed adding an “endorsement layer” to the internet, to verify information and prevent the flow of fake news and disinformation. The need for such a layer is explained in a white paper and accompanying video released on Thursday. The video details a scenario in which a social media user posts an image of what appears to be unusual quantities of dirty brown water coursing over a dam’s spillway and into a river with an opinion that a flood is imminent. The scenario assumes the post is taken to be true – sparking anxiety among residents, possible panic buying, or even an inappropriate emergency services response. The endorsement layer the authors envisage would scour the internet for authoritative data sources, such as water level sensors. Users who view a post about a possible flood could request to access such data, which would be published by the endorsement layer. A better-informed reader would therefore know not to raid supermarkets for a year’s worth of toilet paper, and emergency services would save their resources for more pressing tasks. The proposal imagines the endorsement layer would not rely on a single sensor or information source, but instead offer users the chance to add data to the endorsement layer. The result would theoretically be “an endorsement graph with a data structure expressing the connection between additional information linked to the data.” o § Monopolies⠀➾ # § Software Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ ZDNet ☛ Fintech_giant_The_Clearing_House_joins_open- source_patent_protection_powerhouse_OIN [Ed: Openwashing and pro-software patents cartel are not the solution to this problem]⠀⇛ You may never have heard of The Clearing House (TCH), but you use its services every day. Its US payment network clears and settles more than $2 trillion of wire, Automated Clearing House (ACH), check image, and real-time payments every day. How does it do it? With open-source software. And that means it’s a target for open-source patent trolls. So, ACH this week joined the Open Invention Network (OIN) — the world’s largest patent nonaggression consortium. * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal⠀➾ # ⚓ GINYSTR_Wordo:_PUFFY⠀⇛ o § Technical⠀➾ # § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Star_Log_2022-10-14_Evening_(Fairbanks,_AK,_US)⠀⇛ After about of week and a half of nothing but overcast or nearly overcast skies in Fairbanks, we had a brief window of clear skies for about a day and a half. I wanted to do star gazing on Friday morning, but due to various obligations I couldn’t manage to work that around a sensible sleep schedule. But the clear skies lasted long enough that I was able to go out on Friday evening instead. It is difficult to do stargazing in the evenings in my yard because of all the people walking in and out of the apartment building, and the bright lights when people drive out of their garages =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

The discussion weaves its way through various reimaginings of the seven (or more) segment display, an impressive illuminated headboard that comes with its own science-fiction film, and the surprising difficulty of getting a blinking LED to actually look like a flame. Stick around to the end to find out why iPhones are freaking out on amusement park rides, and to hear all the details about this year’s Supercon badge. # ⚓ Video ☛ Linux_Lite_6.2_Updates⠀⇛ Today we look at Linux Lite to see what is up in the next release. This is the 6.2 RC1 which supports the Linux Kernel 5.15 by default but supports up to 6.0. We look at the system memory, default applications, and more. # ⚓ Video ☛ Android_Leaks_Data_Through_VPNs_–_Invidious⠀⇛ o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Nightly ☛ How_to_Install_Visual_Studio_Code_on Manjaro [Ed: It is proprietary, it is vendor lock-in, and it lets Microsoft spy. It ought not be promoted.]⠀⇛ # ⚓ Manuel Matuzovic ☛ Day_15:_the_:modal_pseudo-class⠀⇛ It’s time to get me up to speed with modern CSS. There’s so much new in CSS that I know too little about. To change that I’ve started #100DaysOfMoreOrLessModernCSS. Why more or less modern CSS? Because some topics will be about cutting-edge features, while other stuff has been around for quite a while already, but I just have little to no experience with it. # ⚓ Layout_Breakouts_with_CSS_Grid⠀⇛ The previous structure of this page layout was virtually the same, the foundation of it expertly defined in the article Full-Bleed Layout Using CSS Grid by Josh Comeau. It’s a technique I’ve used on many projects. I’ve even blogged about it previously in Horizontal Scrolling in a Centered Max-Width Container. What I’m documenting here is an extension of the full-bleed CSS Grid layout. In the last version of my site, selected elements – images, code blocks, quotes – were made wider than the page content area using negative margins. It worked well! For this next iteration, I explored applying these breakout offsets using CSS grid and named grid lines. # ⚓ You_should_not_be_using_AWS._Probably.⠀⇛ Culture of simplicity eats strategy of complexity for breakfast Using the shiniest new technologies is rarely the cause for success, it’s usually the result. Resist the urge to buy an excavator when a shovel will do. Cultivate a culture of ruthlessly fighting complexity and focusing on what your users want. # ⚓ uni Toronto ☛ We’re_moving_away_from_swap_partitions_on_our Linux_servers⠀⇛ We have a reasonable number of Linux servers, almost all of them running various versions of Ubuntu. Like pretty much everyone configuring Linux servers, we give them some swap space; the Linux kernel traditionally is much happier if it has a bit of swap space (cf), although you don’t want too much. For a long time we used a separate disk partition for this (or a mirrored pair of them in a separate software RAID mirror device), although Linux distributions themselves were increasingly moving to using swap files located in the root filesystem (sometimes rather excessively large ones; the Ubuntu 20.04 and 22.04 installers use 4 GB even for machines with only 4 GB of RAM). We didn’t have any particularly strong reasons for using a swap partition instead of a swap file; it was just what we’d started out with and what we were used to. # ⚓ Android Authority ☛ How_to_change_the_Windows_boot_drive_in BIOS_–_Android_Authority⠀⇛ If you have Windows installed on your computer and then installed a Linux distro next to that, your computer may not boot from the correct drive. # ⚓ Rsh_Command_with_Examples_in_Linux_–_LinuxWizardry⠀⇛ The rsh command is one of the older commands in UNIX/Linux. It allows you to execute commands on the remote machine from the local machine. You do not have to log in or switch users in the remote system to run commands. rsh connects to the remote host and executes the specified commands. In this article, we will explain how to use rsh command and execute commands remotely in Linux. # ⚓ Network World ☛ Using_Wikipedia_from_the_Linux_command_line |_Network_World⠀⇛ If you are sitting in front of a Linux system, you can always pop open a browser and query topics of interest on Wikipedia. On the other hand, if you’re logged on through a terminal emulator like PuTTY or you just prefer using the command line, there is another option: wikit. Wikit is a tool that queries Wikipedia from the command line and provides summaries of its content on a huge collection of topics. It’s easy to use and allows you to quickly query and, if you want, save the rendered information in a file. o § WINE or Emulation⠀➾ # ⚓ WINE Project (Official) ☛ WineHQ_–_Wine_Announcement_–_The Wine_development_release_7.19_is_now_available.⠀⇛ The Wine development release 7.19 is now available. What's new in this release: - Support for storing DOS attributes on disk. - Bundled vkd3d upgraded to version 1.5. - Support for MPEG-4 audio format. - Various bug fixes. The source is available at: https://dl.winehq.org/wine/source/7.x/wine- 7.19.tar.xz Binary packages for various distributions will be available from: https://www.winehq.org/download You will find documentation on https:// www.winehq.org/documentation You can also get the current source directly from the git repository. Check https://www.winehq.org/git for details. Wine is available thanks to the work of many people. See the file AUTHORS in the distribution for the complete list. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Valve_filed_a_‘computer_game_software’ trademark_for_‘NEON_PRIME’⠀⇛ Well this is perhaps exciting, seems Valve are cooking up something new with a trademark application for NEON PRIME. The application notes it’s for “categories of computer game software, electronic game software, video game software, computer game programs downloadable via the internet” and so quite likely some new game is on the way. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Proton_Experimental_updated_helping_Halo Infinite_and_Spider-Man_Remastered⠀⇛ Valve released a really small update to Proton Experimental on October 13th, so here’s what’s new and how to use it. This is the special version of the Proton compatibility layer for running Windows games, with lots of extra special fixes that eventually make their way into the main Proton version that’s most used. # ⚓ I_solved_the_Dandelions_paper-and-pencil_game⠀⇛ For reasons I’ll discuss later, I only solved the 5-by-5 game, and the situation may be different for the 6-by-6 variant. Also, unlike British Square, my engine does not exhaustively explore the entire game tree because it’s far too large. Instead it does a minimax search to the bottom of the tree and stops when it finds a branch where all leaves are wins for the current player. Because of this, it cannot maximize the outcome — winning as early as possible as dandelions or maximizing the number of empty grid spaces as wind. I also can’t quantify the exact size of tree. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ UNCHARTED:_Legacy_of_Thieves_Collection gets_Steam_Deck_Verified_ahead_of_release⠀⇛ Are you ready for another Sony game on Steam? The UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection arrives on October 19th, and it’s been Steam Deck Verified already. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Steam_Deck_Client_Beta_updated,_plus official_Docking_Station_update_coming⠀⇛ Valve has released another small Steam Deck Client Beta update to fix some lingering issues, plus they’ve announced a Docking Station update is on the way. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ The_JSAUX_M.2_Docking_Station_for_Steam Deck_is_a_great_choice⠀⇛ After playing with it for a few weeks, here’s what I think along with how to set up the M.2 Docking Station for Steam Deck from JSAUX. Note: JSAUX sent a Dock and a 2TB SSD for review that I can keep. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Nate Graham ☛ This_week_in_KDE:_QA_pays_off⠀⇛ This week we released Plasma 5.26 and so far our QA focus has paid off! It has been mostly a smooth release, with just a few regressions being reported, and most of them have been fixed already. Thanks to everyone who tested, reported bugs, and fixed bugs! # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ This Week in GNOME ☛ #65_Officially_Deprecated_–_This Week_in_GNOME⠀⇛ Update on what happened across the GNOME project in the week from October 07 to October 14. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_Friday’s_Fedora Facts:_2022-41⠀⇛ o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Topton_Mini_PC_features_Ryzen_4000U_Series processors⠀⇛ The Topton FU02 is a fanless Mini PC featuring the Ryzen 3, 5, 7 mobile processors. This device is enabled with Wi-Fi6/BL5.2 along with dual GbE LAN ports and dual displays with [email protected] resolution. The barebone model costs around ~$260- $318. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ PC Gamer ☛ This_DIYer_built_themselves_an_awesome_open- source_HDMI_capture_card_for_only_$10⠀⇛ Capture cards aren’t cheap, especially if you want to record or stream footage at a high resolution and framerate. Even the best capture cards (opens in new tab) can cost you upwards of $200. So, if you don’t have that sort of cash lying about, why not try making your own for just a tiny fraction of that? That’s what one DIYer did. # ⚓ Andrew Hutchings ☛ Acorn_Archimedes_A3010:_Restoration_Part 4⠀⇛ And that is it. The A3010 appears to be in full working order.

However, you can easily get a case for your Raspberry Pi and give it some extra protection from the elements and spilled drinks. Here are ten of our favourites, including some nice cases for your Pico. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Spotting_defects_in_solar_panels_with_machine learning_|_Arduino_Blog⠀⇛ Large solar panel installations are vital for our future of energy production without the massive carbon dioxide emissions we currently produce. However, microscopic fractures, hot spots, and other defects on the surface can expand over time, thus leading to reductions in output and even failures if left undetected. Manivannan Sivan’s solution for tackling this issue revolves around using computer vision and machine learning to find small defects at the surface before automatically reporting the information. Sivan compiled his dataset by first gathering images of solar panels that have visible cracks using an Arduino Portenta H7 and Vision Shield and then drawing bounding boxes around each one. From here, he trained a MobileNetV2 model with the addition of Edge Impulse’s recent FOMO object detection algorithm for better performance. He was able to improve the model’s accuracy even further by augmenting the dataset with images taken at different camera angles and lighting conditions in order to prevent mistaking the white boundary lines for cracks. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Reolink_TrackMix_PoE_review_–_A_smart_4K_PTZ security_camera_with_two_lenses,_auto-tracking_–_CNX Software⠀⇛ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ Galaxy_Z_Fold_3_and_more_get_Android_13_beta⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Central ☛ Android_13_beta_update_brings_back_useful battery_stats_|_Android_Central⠀⇛ # ⚓ Indian Express ☛ Nothing_Phone_1_gets_unofficial_Android_13 with_first_custom_ROM_build_|_Technology_News,The_Indian Express⠀⇛ # ⚓ Nokia_G21_receiving_official_Android_12_update_now_– Nokiapoweruser⠀⇛ # ⚓ CNET ☛ Why_Is_Your_Android_So_Slow?_7_Tweaks_to_Give_Your Phone_a_Boost_–_CNET⠀⇛ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ 5_Hilarious_Android_Phone_Pranks_You_Should Try_on_Your_Friends⠀⇛ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ The_Best_Calendar_App_Alternatives_For Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ 19_Harry_Potter_Spells_Your_Android_Wand_Can_Cast_Using Google_Assistant_�_Android_::_Gadget_Hacks⠀⇛ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ How_to_Automatically_Turn_On_Wi-Fi_on Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_to_Customize_and_Use_Quick_Tap_Gestures_on_Android_– Guiding_Tech⠀⇛ # ⚓ Notebook Check ☛ Honor_“Magic5″_is_linked_to_top-end Android_smartphone_specs_such_as_a_200MP_main_camera_and_100W charging_–_NotebookCheck.net_News⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § FSF⠀➾ # ⚓ FSF ☛ FSD_meeting_recap_2022-10-07⠀⇛ Every week, free software activists from around the world come together in #fsf on Libera.Chat to help improve the FSD, which is a catalog of useful free software that runs under free GNU-like systems (not limited to the GNU operating system and its GNU/ Linux variants) and a project of the Free Software Foundation (FSF).

In addition to the two main sections—one for the publication of content and one on the release of software—the introduction also gives an overview of the legal status of software and the relevant aspects of copyright law. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Youth_Bulge_theory:_Why_there_won’t_be_an_Uprising_in Russia_–_Learning_Machines⠀⇛ Many wonder why there are so few protests in Russia over the brutal war against Ukraine. An answer could lie in the youth bulge theory which we will use again to explain the relative lethargy of the Russian populace, so read on! Since the beginning of the war against Ukraine observers have wondered why there isn’t more political unrest in Russia, i.e. more criticism, more protests, and more opposition in general to this unjust war against its peaceful neighbour. Several reasons come to mind like police brutality against protestors, long prison sentences for members of the opposition, and constant brainwashing with propaganda but there could be one hidden force: the proportion of young people. # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Girls’_sense_of_belonging_in_the_Computing classroom:_Study_results⠀⇛ We’re sharing the fourth evaluation report on projects in our Gender Balance in Computing research programme today. This is a programme we’ve been running, with partner organisations, as part of the National Centre for Computing Education, funded by the Department for Education in England. The programme’s overall goal is to identify ways to encourage more young women to study Computer Science. # § Perl / Raku⠀➾ # ⚓ DEV Community ☛ Elizabeth_Mattijsen:_It’s_time_to rak!_(Part_2)⠀⇛ This is a follow-up on It’s time to rak (Part 1). This blog post builds on that, so you should maybe read that first if you haven’t already. With rak, anything that starts with a dash (- ) is considered to be an “option”. Anything else that you specify on the command line, is considered to be an “argument”. It does not matter in which order options are specified. The order of arguments is important: the first being the pattern, and the other arguments being the paths to search in. But before discussing all of the myriad options of rak (shown to you when you do rak –help), it is important to know how the specification of options work exactly, and how they interact with any of your customized options. # § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ # ⚓ LinuxTechi ☛ How_to_Get_Started_with_Shell_Scripting in_Linux⠀⇛ Hello readers, In this post, we will cover how to get started with shell scripting in Linux or UNIX systems. o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ SusamPal ☛ From_UUID_to_Infinite_Loops_–_Susam_Pal⠀⇛ Most people involved in software development have probably come across UUIDs.

The first is to take every spec at face value, figuring that the engineers have taken everything into account and presented each number as the absolute limit that will prevent the Magic Smoke from escaping. The other way is to throw out the data sheet and just try whatever you want, figuring that the engineers played it as safely as possible. o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ How_Wi-Fi_spy_drones_snooped_on_financial firm⠀⇛ Greg Linares, a security researcher, recently recounted an incident that he said occurred over the summer at a US East Coast financial firm focused on private investment. He told The Register that he was not involved directly with the investigation but interacted with those involved as part of his work in the finance sector. o ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Bob_Dylan_Lives_(and_Greil_Marcus_is_Still Writing_About_Him)⠀⇛ Each song serves a certain role in the chapter bearing its title. Sometimes the chapter is primarily about the song; its origins, its lyrical and musical development, and its performance. Other times, the song in the title is little more than a springboard to a cultural history that might include the president of the United States or a folksinger hooked on speed. o ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Just_Stop_Oil’s_Van_Gogh_Soup_Stunt_Sparks Criticism_of_‘Alienating’_Strategy⠀⇛ Phoebe Plummer, 21, and Anna Holland, 20—who glued their hands to the National Gallery wall after dousing the $84.2 million “Sunflowers” in soup—wore Just Stop Oil (JSO) T-shirts. The U.K.-based group shared footage of the action and their motivations on social media. o ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Making_Book_at_the_Frankfurt_Fair⠀⇛ Translate all that into about thirty languages, spread the publications throughout six airplane-sized hangars, set up some booths with larger-than-life posters, and there you have the Frankfurt Book Fair. o ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Strangers_Behind_the_Trees:_On_the_Death_of_Rayan Suliman_and_His_Fear_of_Monsters⠀⇛ This was the abrupt and tragic end of Rayan’s life. All the things that could have been, all the experiences that he could have lived, and all the love that he could have imparted or received, all ended suddenly, as the boy lay face down on the pavement of a dusty road, in a poor village, without ever experiencing a single moment of being truly free, or even safe. o ⚓ The Nation ☛ Pamela_Turner⠀⇛ o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Human_Prehistory—Why_New_Discoveries_About Human_Origins_Open_Up_Revolutionary_Possibilities⠀⇛ Long before Jane Goodall began telling the world we would do well to study our evolutionary origins and genetic cousins, it was a well-established philosophical creed that things go better for humanity the more we try to know ourselves. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ BBC ☛ Afghanistan:_Taliban_ban_women_from_many_university subjects⠀⇛ A year after banning most teenage girls from attending school, the Taliban are imposing sweeping restrictions on which courses women can enrol in at public universities. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ The_Intimate_and_Interconnected_History_of_the Internet⠀⇛ For inhabitants of an Internet designed to capture our full attention, where doomscrolling feels less like a leisure activity than a perverse metaphor for a never-ending kiddie ride into the metaverse, this book affords the odd experience of reading about the digital past and recognizing something worth rescuing for the digital future. I spoke to Driscoll about this phenomenon, the uniquely decentralized online social world of the 1980s, how technology shapes societal change, and the history of diversity in digital communities. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity. # ⚓ Don’t_feed_the_Troll⠀⇛ “Many presume that troll refers to the ugly monsters who eat people alive, but the term derives from the practice in fishing of dragging a baited hook or lure behind a moving boat (trolling).[2] In other words, trolls are looking for some sucker who’ll bite.” # ⚓ Matt Rickard ☛ Short_Taxonomy_of_Open-Source_Strategies⠀⇛ A few observations on how technology companies can strategically use open-source from my time working on open-source at Google. # ⚓ Telex (Hungary) ☛ Teachers_and_parents_united_in_demanding changes_in_education⠀⇛ o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ WheatSystem_Is_A_Homebrew_8-Bit_OS⠀⇛ [Esperantanaso] has long been involved in producing homebrew 8-bit computers. His various builds could all achieve different things, but he grew frustrated that applications written for one could not be easily run on another. He recently took a big leap forward in this area, though, cooking up his own 8-bit operating system called WheatSystem. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Toteable_PC_Is_Inspired_By_Macs_Of_Days_Gone By⠀⇛ Back in the 1980s, the personal computer was a hip new thing, and the form this new technology would take was still up for debate. Back then, all kinds of weird clamshells, breadbins, and all-in-one designs hit the market, with the Apple Macintosh proving to be a successful example of the latter. Inspired by the Macintosh 128K that served as their first computer, [Arnov Sharma] decided to whip up a modern all-in-one of their very own. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Medicine_Dosing_Spoon_Discontinued,_Made_3D Printable_Instead⠀⇛ [Gregor Herz] caught wind of a problem that neuropediatric clinics in Germany have been facing recently. Orfiril, a seizure-preventing medication used in those clinics for treating children, is normally prescribed to adults, and the usual dosages are too high for kids. Orfiril comes in regular pill-shaped capsules, each capsule containing a bunch of small medication-soaked pellets, and you only need a certain amount of these pellets if you want to achieve a lower dose. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ DaemonFC (Ryan Farmer) ☛ Mom_is_not_amused_with_CNN._| BaronHK’s_Rants⠀⇛ Mom is not amused with CNN. She says that the nuns at the nursing home are being terrorized by CNN. Like, they’re in their room seeing January 6th over and over again every day for nearly two years now and nothing new is even happening about it. It’s just Democrats on a panel that can’t even do anything, who are about to lose the House, making noise in the run up to an election. And CNN is just playing the tape over and over to scare people who are 100 years old and in a nursing home. I told her “Cable news does this. There isn’t enough actual news to fill a 24 hour days so they just fill it with something. Most of the time they were reporting on COVID, there was nothing new to report, but they were traumatizing people.”. It’s not even just CNN. Fox does the same thing to Republicans. [...] Unfortunately, when the news isn’t traumatizing people who can’t even do anything about the thing, when the situation hasn’t even changed in months regarding the thing, they also turn to utter bullshit that doesn’t matter. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Biden’s_Marijuana_Pardons_are_a_Seismic Shift⠀⇛ But almost all marijuana-related arrests are for violations of state and local laws, not federal law. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_Having_a_Chronic_Illness_Without Paid_Leave_Is_Nearly_Impossible_and_Needs_to_Change_Now⠀⇛ I was diagnosed with lupus at the age of 19, joining nearly 1.5 other million Americans who have the chronic illness that can cause the immune system to attack itself. This disease requires many doctor’s visits, and the treatment is similar to getting treated for cancer. It’s very time- intensive, and it completely disrupts your everyday life—and most of us do not have the protection of paid leave policies that ensure we get the time we need to take care of ourselves. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ New_Bill_Would_Ban_Private_Insurance_Plans From_Using_‘Medicare’_Name⠀⇛ Introduced by Reps. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), the Save Medicare Act would change the official name of Medicare Advantage (MA) to “Alternative Private Health Plan” to make clear that such coverage is offered by for-profit companies. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Corporate_Media_Mostly_Ignoring_GOP_Ploy_to Cut_Social_Security_and_Medicare⠀⇛ “Social Security and Medicare are on the ballot next month,” said Media Matters for America senior fellow Matt Gertz. “If the American public doesn’t know that, it’s in part because the press isn’t telling them.” # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ DOJ_to_Investigate_Bureau_of_Prisons_After Judge_Rips_Officials_Over_Inmate’s_Death⠀⇛ “With timely diagnosis and treatment, Mr. Bardell’s attesting physician assessed his chances of survival at 71%.” # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ USDA_Considers_New_Poultry_Rules_to_Curb Salmonella_Poisoning⠀⇛ On Friday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that it is considering banning poultry companies from selling raw chicken and turkey contaminated with high levels of certain types of salmonella. Under current regulations, the agency allows raw poultry to be sold in supermarkets even when food safety inspectors know it’s tainted with dangerous strains of the bacteria. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ ERRF_22:_After_Two_Years,_Back_And_Better_Than Ever⠀⇛ When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, it became clear that organizers would have to pull the plug on any large social events they had planned. Many organizers decided to take their events online, but blurry web streams and meme-filled Discord channels can only get you so far. At this point we’re all keenly aware that, while they do have some advantages, virtual events are not the same as the real thing. o § Pseudo-Open Source⠀➾ # § Openwashing⠀➾ # ⚓ TechRepublic ☛ Benefits_of_working_with_open_source data_quality_solutions⠀⇛ o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Gray Dot Media Group ☛ Linux,_Windows_and_macOS_Hit_By_New “Alchimist’_Attack_Framework [Ed: Trying to blame "GoLang" because people write programs in GoLang and "Linux" because people can install malware on Linux]⠀⇛ It is implemented in GoLang and implants the Insekt RAT on the compromised systems. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ This_Week_In_Security:_Npm_Timing_Leak,_Siemens Universal_Key,_And_PHP_In_PNG [Ed: Microsoft_failure]⠀⇛ First up is some clever wizardry from the [Aqua Nautilus] research team, who discovered a timing attack that leaks information about private npm packages. The setup is this, npm hosts both public and private node.js packages. The public ones are available to everyone, but the private packages are “scoped”, meaning they live within a private namespace, “@owner/packagename” and are inaccessible to the general public. Trying to access the package results in an HTTP 404 error — the same error as trying to pull a package that doesn’t exist. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ NYOB ☛ Legal_Analysis:_No_non-material_damages_for GDPR_violations_(C-300/21)?⠀⇛ On 6 October 2022, Advocate General (AG) Sánchez-Bordona issued his Opinion on CJEU case C-300/21 (UI v. Österreichische Post AG), the first of several preliminary ruling requests on the topic of damages for GDPR violations pending with the CJEU. # ⚓ Site36 ☛ Connecting_Europol_and_Interpol:_EU_provides more_surveillance_in_Libya⠀⇛ The EU mission EUBAM, which was actually set up to support border management, is building up a counter-terrorism „analysis unit“.

Konnech has provided its PollChief software to some cities and counties across the country, including Los Angeles County. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ ‘Neutral’_employer_bans_on_headcoverings_do_not discriminate_against_Muslim_women,_EU_Court_of_Justice rules⠀⇛ The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) Thursday ruled that workplace bans affecting religious wear do not amount to discrimination under certain circumstances. A Muslim woman, referred to as L.F., brought a discrimination claim against a company called SCRL based on the Belgian General Anti-Discrimination Law. SCRL refused to consider L.F.’s internship application because she declined to remove her headscarf, and SCRL does not allow any headcoverings, religious or not. SCRL says L.F. did not comply with the policy of neutrality included in its terms of employment. The claimant argues that the policy is an infringement of her rights. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russian_military_command_complains_about_‘fake news’_from_pro-Kremlin_war_bloggers_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Russian law enforcement agencies have started checking Kremlin loyalist Telegram channels that post about Russia’s war in Ukraine for “discrediting” the Russian army, fake news, and other prohibited content, reports publication Mash. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘Get_out_of_the_army’s_way’_In_the_occupied Kherson_region,_Russian-appointed_‘authorities’_urge residents_to_‘take_a_vacation’_in_Russia_—_or_move_there_for good_—_Meduza⠀⇛ The Russian-installed government of the occupied part of Ukraine’s Kherson region has created a hotline for residents who might wish to “take a vacation” in Russia. The hotline was active as of October 8. On October 13, Volodymyr Saldo, the former Kherson mayor and now the Russian-appointed head of the occupied area, asked Russia to help “Kherson families” “leave for other regions of the Russian Federation, for rest and study.” # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Moscow_men_ambushed_and_drafted_near_subway stations._Draft_office_denies_these_reports._—_Meduza⠀⇛ Journalists and human-rights activists are reporting that police officers have stopped and questioned men near Moscow metro stations, collected their data, and handed them draft letters. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Why_Russia_is_pushing_a_return_to_negotiations_The Kremlin_wants_to_buy_time_to_prepare_for_a_‘full-scale offensive’_in_early_2023,_sources_say_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Since the success of Ukraine’s massive counteroffensive in early September, Russian officials have repeatedly raised the possibility of peace talks — even after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree officially ruling out the possibility of Ukraine ever negotiating with Vladimir Putin. Meduza has learned from multiple sources close to the Russian government that the Kremlin has simultaneously been lobbying Western leaders behind closed doors to convince Kyiv to agree to a temporary ceasefire. But according to the sources, Putin has no intention of ending the war; instead, his ceasefire campaign is part of a wider strategy to buy time for training conscripts and replenishing supplies in order to launch a “full-scale offensive” in February or March. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Putin_promises_to_complete_mobilization_within_two weeks_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Russia’s President Vladimir Putin says that all “mobilization activities” will be completed within two weeks, as reported by RIA Novosti. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Ukrainian_defense_minister_claims_Russia_has_used up_two_thirds_of_its_missile_arsenal_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Ukrainian defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov posted on Twitter that, over the course of the war in Ukraine, the Russian army has used up two thirds of its precision missiles. He claims the Russian Ministry of Defense now has 609 missiles of various types at its disposal. The source of Reznikov’s information is not known. The Russian military has not shared similar information. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Nazification_of_American_Society_and the_Scourge_of_Violence⠀⇛ The threat of violence not only functions as political performance in the interests of political opportunism and the stoking mass violence, it also is used by MAGA Republicans to conquer major critical institutions of society that extend from public schools and libraries to the courts. Dark money now drives such extremism and the repressive laws aimed at women’s reproductive rights, the banning of books, the weakening of voting rights, and assaults on the rights of trans-gender people, among other attacks. Many of these attacks are  driven by the modern Republican Party’s central fear of living with difference.[2] # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_Can_Democracy_Survive_in_This Nation_Awash_in_Guns?⠀⇛ Two courtroom dramas unfolded this week in the U.S., both the result of America’s gun obsession: In Florida, jurors recommended Nikolas Cruz be sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. Cruz murdered 17 students and staff at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Valentine’s Day, 2018. Meanwhile, a Connecticut jury decided on financial penalties for conspiracy peddler Alex Jones, who was found guilty of defamation. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘Counterterrorism_operation_state’_declared_in Belarus_after_Minsk_claims_‘neighboring_countries’_planning ‘provocations’_—_Meduza⠀⇛ A “counterterrorism operation state” has been declared in Belarus after reports of possible “provocations” from “neighboring countries,” Belarusian Foreign Minister Vladimir Makei told the Russian newspaper Izvestia on Friday. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘He_came_home_with_a_smashed-up_face’_The Ukrainian_children_facing_bullying_in_Russian_schools_— Meduza⠀⇛ While it’s too early to tell what the scale of the migration caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will be when all is said and done, it’s clear that the war has sent demographic shockwaves across the region. In addition to the millions of Ukrainian refugees who have fled to the EU, more than a million others are now in Russia, many of them victims of forced deportation. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Russians have left their own country, fleeing the Kremlin’s wartime crackdown on dissent and Putin’s mobilization campaign. While these crises differ in scale, one consequence they share is that children from both countries are suddenly living in environments where they stand out from their peers — a situation ripe for bullying. Journalists from the student-run online magazine Doxa spoke to Russian and Ukrainian parents now living abroad about the difficulties their children are having at school. In English, Meduza explains what they learned. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russian_authorities_in_Simferopol_arrest_five suspects_in_Crimean_Bridge_case_—_Meduza⠀⇛ A Russian-controlled Simferopol court has arrested five suspects in the criminal case over the October 8 explosion on the Crimean Bridge, a source with knowledge of the situation told Interfax. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Protests_in_40+_US_Cities_Demand Deescalation_as_Poll_Shows_Surging_Fear_of_Nuclear_War⠀⇛ Anti-war groups including Peace Action and RootsAction organized picket lines at the offices of U.S. senators and representatives in more than 40 cities across 20 states, calling on lawmakers to push for a ceasefire in Ukraine, the revival of anti-nuclear treaties the U.S. has exited in recent years, and other legislative actions to prevent nuclear catastrophe. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_What_Must_Be_Done_to_End_Nuclear Extortion_and_Build_Lasting_Peace⠀⇛ In a moment of candor, President Biden told Democratic Party contributors the risk of nuclear “Armageddon” is the highest since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, when the Soviet Union installed nuclear missiles in Cuba, 90 miles from Florida. Referring to Russian President Putin’s veiled threats to use short-range nuclear weapons in Ukraine, the President added it was the first time since the Cuban Missile Crisis such a “direct threat” had been issued. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ St._Petersburg_police_staking_out_draft_evaders_at apartment_entrances_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Military commissariat employees and police officers in St. Petersburg have started waiting inside apartment buildings of men who fail to show up after being served draft orders, city authorities told the Russian outlet RBK. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Charges_against_Russian_Presidential_Academy rector_Vladimir_Mau_dropped_—_Meduza⠀⇛ The embezzlement charges against Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA) rector Vladimir Mau have been dropped, RBK reported on Friday, citing two sources close to the school. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ We,_the_People_Did_Next_To_Nothing⠀⇛ And the storyline for The US and the Holocaust can be succinctly summed up this way… # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Eduardo_Carreon:_Adopting_the_Mindset_of_the Oppressor⠀⇛ Indigenous Los Angeles psychology graduate student Eduardo Carreon analyzes the mindset of disgraced former LA City Council leader, a Latina whose racist bile scorned Black and gay colleagues and others, including indigenous members of her own Latinx community. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Media_Finds_Its_War⠀⇛ The language throughout the article is fawning, unquestioning, repeatedly glamorizing the soldier and his war. It’s Pentagon propaganda. The only question the journalist really raises is whether the soldier and his company can make a difference in helping the Ukrainians. # ⚓ FAIR ☛ WaPo_Wants_US_‘Beacon’_for_Ukraine_Refugees—but_Not for_Haitians⠀⇛ The notorious incident in Del Rio, Texas, where US border patrol agents on horseback were photographed apparently wielding long reins as whips against Haitian migrants, prompted widespread public outrage. But where Ukrainians seeking refuge in this country found a strong advocate in the Washington Post editorial board, their Haitian counterparts have received notably different treatment. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_On_the_Death_of_Rayan_Suliman_and Palestinian_Children’s_Very_Real_Fear_of_Monsters⠀⇛ Children of my Gaza refugee camp were rarely afraid of monsters but of Israeli soldiers. This is all that we talked about before going to bed. Unlike imaginary monsters in the closet or under the bed, Israeli soldiers are real, and they could show up any minute – at the door, on the roof or, as was often the case, right in the middle of the house. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Israel_Authorizes_Military_to_Kill Palestinians_With_Drones_in_the_West_Bank⠀⇛ Marjorie Cohn writes about the most recent Israeli military order in the West Bank, which Hamas calls “a dangerous step.” # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Progressives_and_Palestinians⠀⇛ All of this must have caused the Israeli authorities much frustration, considering that they cannot shut down the organizations issuing the reports. This was apparently the case even with B’tselem, which is internationally supported and respected. However, there were other Palestinian- run human rights groups, including the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees, and the Defense for Children-Palestine, located in the Israeli- controlled Occupied Territories. These proved vulnerable to Zionist authorities looking to vent their anger. This was the second, somewhat belated reaction to the human rights reports. (2) In August of 2022, “Israeli forces raided the offices of seven Palestinian human rights groups causing extensive property damage and issuing military orders to shut them down. This followed Israel’s earlier characterization of those organizations as ‘terrorist’ and ‘unlawful.’” Here, it turned out, it was the Israelis who were “echoing propaganda without seriously checking the facts.” According to United Nations observers, “these designations and declarations are illegitimate and unjustifiable and no concrete and credible evidence substantiating Israel’s allegations has ever been provided.” # ⚓ Telex (Hungary) ☛ Orbán:_Our_Zelensky_was_executed_after 1956⠀⇛ Every Friday, Hungary’s prime minister gives an interview on one of the state-owned radio stations. Since the independent media has not had a chance to interview him for many years, these weekly radio interviews are the only opportunity to find out what the leader of the country thinks about current events, how he sees his opponents and any issues at hand. Below are the two main subjects he focused on this week. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Biden’s_Broken_Promise_to_Avoid_War_with Russia_May_Kill_Us_All⠀⇛ On October 5, Nikolay Patrushev, the head of Russia’s Security Council, recognized that Russia is now fighting NATO in Ukraine. Meanwhile, President Putin has reminded the world that Russia has nuclear weapons and is prepared to use them “when the very existence of the state is put under threat,” as Russia’s official nuclear weapons doctrine declared in June 2020. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Italy’s_100_Nuclear_Weapons:_Nuclear Proliferation_and_European_Hypocrisy⠀⇛ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ US_Foreign_Policy_Impasse_Over_Venezuela⠀⇛ A related conundrum of its own making is the US sanctions on Venezuela’s oil industry and at the same time needing the fuel. It wasn’t so long ago that Venezuela supplied the US with a significant amount of its daily petroleum consumption. Now Uncle Sam finds himself confronted with price inflation at the gas pump and the inevitability of negotiating with a government it does not recognize. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Cuba_in_the_Eye_of_Washington’s_Hurricane⠀⇛ Maximum Pressure # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ End_Times_on_the_Great_Salt_Lake⠀⇛ Who in Utah did not read or hear about the big New York Times story that dropped on June 7: “As the Great Salt Lake Dries Up, Utah Faces an Environmental ‘Nuclear Bomb’”?  As a writer and professor of environmental writing, I was intrigued by the way Christopher Flavelle pulled off such a feat, and by how he focused the eyes of the world on the catastrophic local, global, ecological, social, and economic consequences of losing the drought-stricken Great Salt Lake.  But I had concerns, too: Could this work of journalism—however clear, objective, accurate, and well-received—have done more to teach and thereby move the conversation forward into new, more constructive territory? # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Is_the_West’s_Romance_With_Paul_Kagame_Finally Ending?⠀⇛ The Democratic Republic of the Congo, a nation of 93 million people, is still struggling with the greatest humanitarian crisis since the end of World War II—and the rest of the world is still ignoring it. Since 1998, violence in the eastern Congo has killed at least 6 million people and displaced another 5.6 million. Today, the number of internal refugees is the highest in the nation’s history. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘I_don’t_have_time_to_bow,_or_to_wait_in_line’ Zelensky_on_‘iPhone_diplomacy,’_Putin,_nuclear_risks,_and_the power_of_being_on_the_right_side_—_Meduza⠀⇛ On October 12, the German journalist Katrin Eigendorf interviewed the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for the ZDF TV channel. When she arrived to meet with Zelensky in Kyiv, he suggested, on the spur of the moment, that they talk in Russian. We have transcribed and translated some highlights of this extended interview, in which Zelensky spoke openly about “iPhone diplomacy,” how Europe should talk to Russia, Putin personally, and handling Russia’s nuclear and energy blackmail. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ The_war_in_Ukraine_is_‘unpleasant,_to_put_it mildly’_Putin’s_latest_remarks_from_the_summit_in_Astana_— Meduza⠀⇛ On October 14, Russian president Vladimir Putin gave a press conference in Astana, Kazakhstan, after a summit for CIS and Asian countries. He answered questions about the Russian mobilization, the possibility of negotiations with Ukraine, and the prospect of a direct clash with NATO. Meduza summarizes his main points. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ [Old] Did_Uncle_Don_Call_Kids_‘Little_Bastards’_on_the Air?⠀⇛ However, this account leaves us puzzled as to how a “nation-wide reaction” could have taken place yet remain unreported in any major newspaper, magazine, or trade publication of the time. Where, then, did this national reaction play out? Moreover, a check of the radio listings in The New York Times from the winter of 1928-29 reveals that Oliver Sayler’s “Footlight and Lamplight” radio program didn’t, as he claimed, follow Uncle Don’s show, but preceded it. (“Footlight and Lamplight” aired after the news at 6:15 p.m.; Uncle Don was on the air from 6:30 to 6:55 p.m.) How, then, did Sayler come to be in the studio at the conclusion of Uncle Don’s program, as he claimed he was? # ⚓ The Dissenter ☛ Unauthorized_Disclosure:_Guest_Asa Winstanley⠀⇛ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Chicago_Sun-Times_Kills_Its_Paywall;_Makes_Its Content_Free_For_Everyone⠀⇛ Going back many, many years, we’ve argued that paywalls are not a particularly sustainable model for most journalism enterprises. There are some exceptions. They seem to work in cases where breaking news and timely access are extremely important (e.g., financial news), and in cases where there is a strong community built up around the news provider (both small and large). A few months back I did a fun podcast discussion looking at why I was wrong when I predicted the NY Times paywall would fail. It’s worth listening to the whole thing, but the crux of it was that I didn’t expect the NY Times to be able to build up the kind of communal support that it eventually did — whereby many people felt that, in the age of Donald Trump, they had to be supporting media organizations like the Times. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Publisher_Wiley_Lets_Libraries_Offer_eTextbooks Again…_But_Only_For_Nine_Months⠀⇛ Last week, we wrote about how publisher Wiley had removed 1,379 textbook titles from the list of books that academic libraries could lend out, thereby forcing students to have to buy the textbooks, rather than take them out of the library. As we noted, this was an example of how damaging copyright has been on the free flow of information. In the non-digital world, the libraries could just buy copies of the book to lend out, but thanks to publishers insisting that there is not a first sale right for ebooks, it allows them to block any sale they don’t want. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Armageddon_Now_or_“The_Last_Man”⠀⇛ But even then, the island is mostly empty. It takes an hour to walk to Scolt Head from Burnham-Overy- Staithe, and you can only do it when the tide is low enough to wade across Norton Creek. Fording the thigh-deep channel in Autumn is bracing but the yellow-green dunes beckon. Seen up close, they are a multitude of grasses and flowering plants, some with late season blossoms: sea pink and yellow rattle, sea lavender and harebells, sea aster and purslane.

The “Republicans” are dedicated enemies of adequate social protection, schooling, and care. They viciously denounce and demonize as supposedly evil “socialism” the supports poor families and children desperately need to “thrive” in this savagely separate and unequal nation. How darkly perfect is it that the nation’s mostly virulently anti-abortion states are also the U.S. states that grant the least in the way of social welfare for poor and working class kids and families  – and that they are the states with the nation’s highest (globally scandalous) rates of maternal and infant mortality? # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Are_Green_Resource_Wars_Looming?⠀⇛ Adventurers and Opportunists # § Energy⠀➾ # ⚓ NPR ☛ Greece_says_its_entire_electrical_grid_ran_on 100%_renewables_for_the_first_time⠀⇛ Renewable energy sources covered Greece’s electricity demands for about five hours last Friday, the Independent Power Transmission Operator, or IPTO, said.

Sadly, though, manufacturing and driving tens of millions of individual electric passenger cars won’t get us far enough down the road to ending greenhouse-gas emissions and stanching the overheating of this planet. Worse yet, the coming global race to electrify the personal vehicle is likely to exacerbate ecological degradation, geopolitical tensions, and military conflict. # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ The Spokesman Review ☛ Ask_Dr._Universe:_Octopuses, squid_and_cuttlefish_have_an_inky_defense_mechanism⠀⇛ An octopus has three hearts and long arms with suction cups. It probably seems very different from you. But you have the main ingredients of octopus ink in your body, too! I talked about octopus ink with my friend Gretchen Rollwagen-Bollens, associate professor in Washington State University’s School of the Environment. She told me that ink isn’t just an octopus thing. Most animals called cephalopods (sef-uh-luh-pods) make it. These include octopus, squid and cuttlefish. Cephalopods including octopuses use color a lot. They have sacs of colored pigments all over their bodies. They use those sacs to change their body color. That helps them blend into their environment. # ⚓ The Revelator ☛ The_Amazing_Ways_Nature_Cooperates_— and_We_Benefit⠀⇛ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Herding_is_Human⠀⇛ Whether the elites would themselves live off the stuff they make is open to question.

In the legal context, that means I think judges and justices more or less make up the law as they go along to satisfy their political, social, or ideological preferences. There’s no objective constitutional reason for Chief Justice John Roberts to hate the idea of Black people voting. There’s nothing forcing Sonia Sotomayor to support the rights of women, just like there’s nothing that requires Neil Gorsuch to seek the destruction of the administrative state. These people believe the things they believe and just happen to be experts at searching the law to find ways to confirm their worldviews. Indeed, the justices’ votes are often easy to predict because their ideological priors are always so obviously on display. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ A_Wealth_Tax_on_the_0.25_Percent_Could_Fund Biden’s_Entire_Student_Debt_Plan⠀⇛ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Can_the_Fed_Control_Inflation_With_Just Rate_Hikes?⠀⇛ Maybe the Fed can not control this stuff in this current world the way they think, or used to think, without killing the patient.

It’s called the Stock Act and passed in 2012. It allows stock trading, so long as the politicos eschew insider information. But according to the Times probe, a substantial number of those 3700 trades could very well have involved insider info.

The meeting ended with the committee unanimously voting to subpoena former President Donald Trump, likely setting the stage for a court battle. During the hearing, Congressmember Zoe Lofgren of California detailed how Trump had developed a plan to declare victory in the 2020 election regardless of the actual outcome. “This big lie — President Trump’s effort to convince Americans that he had won the 2020 election — began before the election results even came in. It was intentional, it was premeditated,” Lofgren said. The committee also aired a new video showing Trump’s ally Roger Stone telling Trump supporters to declare victory no matter the outcome. “I really do suspect it will still be up in the air. But when that happens, the key thing to do is to claim victory,” said Stone, whom the committee also linked to right-wing extremist organizations, including the Proud Boys. “We’ll start smashing pumpkins, if you know what I mean.” # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ Jan._6_Panel_Votes_to_Subpoena_Trump_as_New Video_Shows_Pelosi_Responding_to_Insurrection⠀⇛ During the House select committee hearing Thursday, Representative Jamie Raskin revealed never-before- seen footage from January 6 of top lawmakers, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and then- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, scrambling to stop the violence and making pleas for law enforcement and military support. Some Republicans had previously accused Pelosi of failing to call the National Guard to protect the Capitol, but the footage aired on Thursday sheds new light on her actions. Select Committee Chair Bennie Thompson concluded the hearing with a vote to subpoena former President Donald Trump. “The need for this committee to hear from Donald Trump goes beyond our fact finding. This is a question about accountability to the American people,” said Thompson. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ “I_Don’t_Want_People_to_Know_That_We_Lost”: Trump_Knew_Biden_Won,_But_Kept_Pushing_Election_Lies⠀⇛ During Thursday’s hearing, the January 6 House committee aired video evidence showing how Donald Trump repeatedly made false claims about voter fraud that directly contradicted facts presented to him by top advisers. “These actions, taken directly by the president himself, made it clear what his intentions were: to prevent the orderly transfer of power,” said Congressmember Elaine Luria. California Congressmember Adam Schiff also presented several Secret Service messages showing prior knowledge of the potential for violence on January 6. “By the morning of January 6, it was clear that the Secret Service anticipated violence,” said Schiff, with one agent claiming in a chat group that it felt “like the calm before the storm.” # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Ron_Johnson_Booed_and_Laughed_At_in_Debate With_Progressive_Challenger⠀⇛ With less than a month to go before the November midterms, Barnes—Wisconsin’s lieutenant governor—took Johnson to task over his opposition to abortion rights, support for cutting Social Security and Medicare, and 2017 vote in favor of former President Donald Trump’s deeply unpopular and regressive tax cut for the rich and large corporations. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Audience_Booed_and_Laughed_at_Ron_Johnson_in Final_Debate_With_Dem_Challenger⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Joe_Manchin_Impoverished_4_Million_Children_When He_Killed_Child_Tax_Credit⠀⇛ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ With_Most_Dems_Silent,_Warren_Slams_Fed_for Pushing_US_Toward_Painful_Recession⠀⇛ Sen.

So, voters oscillate between this or that party, or this or that individual, hoping that one day they will get lucky and their lot will improve. Even though such hopes are almost always dashed after the election, the concept of choice gives the illusion of legitimacy to the system of governance. In these democracies dissidents are usually small in number and mostly ineffectual, so they are tolerated. The only time massive force might be used against them by the state apparatus is when legitimacy of the state is questioned, and the existing social order is threatened. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_The_Criminal_Case_Against_Donald J._Trump_Has_Been_Established,_But_Will_the_Garland_Act?⠀⇛ Thursday’s final hearing of the January 6 committee is a segue to the criminal case that federal prosecutors are piecing together, bolstered by the recent issuance of dozens of grand jury subpoenas and court-authorized searches of some of Donald Trump’s top allies. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Christian_Nationalism_is_Like_a_Cancer,_But is_it_Benign_or_Malignant?⠀⇛ Republican leaders are energizing their voter base by espousing a Christian Nationalist philosophy. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ 70_Percent_of_Republicans_Running_for_Congress Doubt_2020_Election_Result⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ The_“Big_Lie”_Will_Persist_Unless_Trump_Is_Held Accountable_for_January_6⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Most_Americans_Back_Reforms_to_Make_Voting Easier,_Poll_Shows⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Trump_Hints_to_Advisers_He_Might_Actually Testify_Before_January_6_Committee⠀⇛ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Seattle_Times,_Brands_Complain_Over_Senate Campaign_Ad_That_Is_Clearly_Protected_Speech⠀⇛ There is something about when corporate brands get used in political advertisements that seems to make everybody forget about the very concept of fair use or international equivalents.

It wasn’t, but that particular city campaign caved anyway. # ⚓ Craig Murray ☛ The_Great_Crossing⠀⇛ The logical outcome of the UK’s current political situation is for a large section of Conservative Party MP’s to defect to Keir Starmer’s well right of centre, pro-Brexit, New Labour Party. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Giorgia_Meloni:_The_Great_Replacement_Moves In⠀⇛ Unlike other conservatives and those of the Right in the Anglo-American tradition, welfare, in her political constellation, is not ill-fare.  People – provided they come from a certain traditional demographic and background – should be supported and encouraged by the state.  What matters is that they are the right sort of people. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Images,_Tragedy_and_Bearing_Witness⠀⇛ How are we to react?

There’s a slight robotic edge to them, the intonation sometimes doesn’t match the content, and there’s not enough variation in the pacing. The laughter is also pretty terrible! All that said, it’s still remarkable how close the voices sound to the real thing when you aren’t actively listening for these things. Describing the content as AI-generated is, I think, a real stretch. It’s very clear that the system is lifting the text of entire paragraphs from recordings, rather than generating completely new content. It’s effectively picking up on keywords and then looking for actual quotes on that topic, rather than truly generating new responses. # ⚓ AFR ☛ When_fake_Steve_Jobs_and_fake_Joe_Rogan_made_a podcast⠀⇛ “The Steve Jobs episode was trained on his biography and all recordings of him we could find online so the AI could accurately bring him back to life,” the company says on its website.

As the film rolled, I waited for the problematic scenes that had led to its cancellation. According to the filmmakers who’d successfully demanded the film’s ouster from Sundance, it was “ethically flawed and devoid of critical context,” and so exacerbated “problematic representations of Muslims and/or people from communities directly affected by Islamophobia.” But those scenes never came. Instead, I learned about four men who’d been detained at Guantanamo by my own government without any formal charges. They were open about the terror plots they’d been involved with, and the casual nature of these descriptions was unnerving. In the scenes set at what’s billed as the world’s first extremist rehabilitation center, these men were shown engaging in art therapy, self-reflection sessions, and efforts to learn about banal everyday subjects such as budgeting money. I smiled as the men poked fun at each other during their efforts to learn the secrets of becoming successful husbands and fathers. The expressions of vulnerability seemed to catch the men off guard, and me as well. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ PayPal_Terminates_Hong_Kong_Account_of_Pro- Democracy_Group⠀⇛ The League of Social Democrats says that PayPal, a multinational financial technology company headquartered in California and Nebraska, sent an email stating it can no longer provide its services to the activist group.

It also bans the use of a disguised or false identity online. Violators could face jail terms of five to 10 years. # ⚓ Index On Censorship ☛ Letter_to_UK_Foreign_Secretary_on Salma_al-Shehab⠀⇛ The Specialized Criminal Court (SCC), established in 2008 to try those suspected of acts of terrorism, has instead administered disproportionate sentences, including the death sentence, to people solely for expressing themselves online. Cloaked in the language of cybercrime, this has effectively criminalised free expression and has also been brought to bear against individuals outside of Saudi Arabia. # ⚓ NDTV ☛ “Oust_The_Dictator”:_China_Sees_Rare_Protest_Against Xi_Jinpin⠀⇛ Chinese social media censors have blocked posts, keywords, and hashtags related to the extremely rare public protest ahead of a landmark Chinese Communist Party (CCP) meeting that is scheduled to begin on October 16, at which President Xi Jinping is expected to secure a historic third term. # ⚓ Arab News ☛ Turkish_opposition_calls_new_media_law ‘censorship’,_will_appeal_to_top_court⠀⇛ Turkey’s main opposition group said on Friday it would ask the top court to throw out new media legislation that would jail people for spreading “misinformation,” calling the measures unprecedented censorship.

According to a family member on Instagram, authorities forcefully stormed into Mirmirani’s house and arbitrarily arrested him: “Today at 2 o’clock they rang the doorbell and said that we have a gas leak. When we went to the door, they attacked us. They entered with force, intimidation and threats of using tasers [stun guns] and firearms on us.

Reed is a writer I’ve admired for 40 years or so, ever since a friend I was working with on a street painting crew in Indianapolis, during summer break from college, slipped me a copy of Yellow Back Radio Broke-Down and asked me: What the hell you do make of this? o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Foreign Policy ☛ Headscarves_Are_Not_the_Only_Thing_Women Are_Protesting_in_Iran⠀⇛ But Iran is definitely a special case in the sense that it exhibits some truly crass contrasts. It’s a society in which women are, relatively speaking, very well-educated compared to [the country’s] income level. So 71 percent of women over the age of 25 have at least some secondary schooling, compared with 76 percent of men. So both the levels and the gap—their levels are very high, and the gaps are relatively small. And as you say, women are heavily represented in Iran’s universities. But at the same time, women’s labor market participation in Iran is shockingly low. I mean, it’s only 14 percent. I was kind of dumbfounded when I found this number. That’s half the Saudi participation, which is closer to 30 percent. It’s roughly on a level with Afghanistan pre-Taliban. And I think that has quite a lot to do also with the extraordinary frustration of young women in Iran, because they do get education but then are essentially pushed out of the labor market. I mean, the number is so low that I’m kind of baffled. Is it perhaps something to do with the formal labor market in Iran? Iran also has very low maternal mortality rates—16 women die for 100,000 live births, which is lower than in the United States right now—but it has a very high rate of early marriage and therefore of adolescent pregnancy. And only 5 percent of parliamentarians in Iran are women. # ⚓ NDTV ☛ Iran_Children,_Detained_During_Protests,_End_Up_In “Psychological_Centres”⠀⇛ Dozens of Iranian children have been killed and hundreds detained after being caught up in protests over Mahsa Amini’s death, some of them even ending up in “psychological centres”, it has emerged. Iran has been rocked by a month of demonstrations driven by public outrage over Amini’s death after the morality police arrested her for an alleged breach of the Islamic republic’s strict dress code for women. # ⚓ Frontpage Magazine ☛ Muslim_‘Officials’_Deny_Persecuted Christians_Refuge_in_Europe⠀⇛ After Germany closed its doors to him, Hassan took his case to the European Court of Human Rights; it, too, recently denied his appeal. The apostate from Islam is now set to be deported back to the Islamic Republic of Iran, an act that seems the equivalent of sentencing him to death, or at the very least, abandoning him to persecution and imprisonment. Before German authorities rejected his request for asylum, Hassan had offered the following testimonial to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees: [...] # ⚓ Christianity Today ☛ Orphan_Forced_from_Christian_Home Highlights_Islamic_Ban_on_Adoption⠀⇛ All was idyllic, until a jealous niece realized the impact on her inheritance. Egypt’s Islamic-based law, seeking to preserve lineage, prohibits taking another’s child as one’s own. The niece reported the couple to the police, who investigated. The prosecution determined there was no blood relation, but also no ill will. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ As_Iran_Protesters_Demand_Regime_Change,_How Should_West_Respond?⠀⇛ Anti-government demonstrations continue across Iran following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody last month. She had been arrested by Iran’s morality police for unsuitable attire. Where might the protests lead, and how should the West respond? # ⚓ BBC ☛ Amanda_Todd:_Dutchman_sentenced_for_fatal_cyber- stalking⠀⇛ Amanda, who was then 15, posted a video in 2012 detailing how the cyber-stalker had tormented her. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Hundreds_Of_FBI_Employees_Are_Simply_Walking Away_From_Misconduct_Charges⠀⇛ The FBI has a long history of misconduct, dating back to the J. Edgar Hoover years when agents were writing letters to civil rights leaders encouraging them to kill themselves. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Los_Angeles_Sheriff’s_Department_Goes_Completely Rogue,_Blocks_Inspector_General’s_Access_To_Files, Facilities⠀⇛ The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department has been problematic pretty much ever since its inception. Its prior iteration — headed up by Sheriff Lee Baca — was an abhorrent mess. The LASD was (and still is!) home to gangs formed by deputies — cliques that encouraged members to violate rights and abuse those incarcerated in the county jail. Baca’s department became infamous for its internal corruption, something manifested by its obstruction of federal investigations and rogue jailhouse informant program. # ⚓ FAIR ☛ ‘People_Are_Taking_Inspiration_From_Union_Victories at_Amazon_and Starbucks’⠀⇛ Janine Jackson interviewed Jacobin‘s John Logan about Amazon and Starbucks organizing for the October 7, 2022, episode of CounterSpin. This is a lightly edited transcript. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Judge’s_Ruling_on_Gun_Serial_Numbers Highlights_‘Deadly’_Impact_of_Right-Wing_Supreme_Court⠀⇛ U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin, who was appointed to the Southern District of West Virginia by former Democratic President Bill Clinton, ruled against a federal law prohibiting people from possessing firearms with serial numbers that have been “altered, obliterated, or removed.” # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Bad_Cop_Role_of_Russia_in_Policing_and Locking_Down_a_Unipolar_World_Entropic⠀⇛ One cop plays the ‘bad cop’, the one who does not care and will menace; who threatens as promises the maximum sentence, who exhibits a rage and hatred at a personal level, whom pumps up the fear and will lie, do almost anything to purposively instill a state of fear, shock and confusion in the suspect. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ The_Racial_Volcano_Explodes_in_Los_Angeles⠀⇛ Los Angeles—The site of huge urban uprisings in 1965 and 1992 is once again a city on fire. The current blaze was ignited by revelations about an October 2021 meeting between three [email protected] members of the Los Angeles City Council and the [email protected] head of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor regarding the redistricting of LA’s council districts. In a now- infamous conversation, as reported by the Los Angeles Times, racist remarks were directed against Blacks, Indigenous Oaxacans who live in the city’s Koreatown, Jews, and Armenians. One of the most outrageous utterances was council president Nury Martinez’s reference to the Black child of white LA councilor Mike Bonin as a “changuito” (monkey) who needed a “beat down.” The political thrust of the discussion was creating new [email protected] council districts—largely at the expense of existing districts that have Black representation. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ 240+_Groups_Push_Senate_to_Defy_Telecom Attacks_and_Confirm_Biden_FCC_Pick⠀⇛ “She’s the decisive vote we need to close the digital divide, lower the cost of broadband, and hold companies like Comcast and AT&T accountable.” o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Sanders_Says_Biden_Admin_‘Must_Reject’ Merger_of_Kroger_and_Albertsons⠀⇛ “At a time when food prices are soaring as a result of corporate greed, it would be an absolute disaster to allow Kroger, the second-largest grocery store in America, to merge with Albertsons, the fourth-largest grocery store in America,” Sanders (I-Vt.) tweeted Thursday night, before an agreement had been reached. “The Biden administration must reject this deal.” # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ In_EU_And_US,_Big_Telecom_Desperately_Wants_Big Tech_To_Pay_It_Billions_Of_Dollars_For_No_Coherent_Reason⠀⇛ We’ve noted for years how “Big Telecom” is desperate to have “Big Tech” pay them billions of dollars for no coherent reason. This effort is what began the net neutrality wars, and, despite the fact it’s routinely dressed up as adult policy making, it’s little more than a lobbyist-fueled cash grab. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Variety ☛ Literary_and_Content_Incubator_Assemble Media_Closes_Deals_for_Five_Book_Titles⠀⇛ Assemble Media, a literary incubator which concurrently develops its book projects for film and TV adaptation, has sold five new titles to major publishers. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Piracy_Lawsuit_Front_Company_Tries_to Shut_Down,_Accounts_Overdue⠀⇛ Copyright Management Services Ltd, a UK-based company that helped front the BitTorrent piracy lawsuit factory known as Guardaley, is attempting to shut itself down, accounts overdue. After fronting controversial ‘copyright troll’ lawsuits all over Europe, CMS leaves behind an almost impenetrable matrix of companies, interlinked directors, and movie company partnerships. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Federal_Court_of_Justice:_Pirate_Site Blocking_Must_Be_a_Tool_of_Last_Resort⠀⇛ Germany’s Federal Court of Justice has clarified the conditions under which rightsholders can seek site-blocking orders to restrict access to piracy sites. Deutsche Telekom had refused to implement DNS blocking against Sci-Hub and Libgen, arguing that more reasonable options were available to copyright holders. The Court agreed that website blocking should be a last resort. * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal⠀➾ # ⚓ Moving_gemlog_to_my_capsule⠀⇛ I love Smol Pub, I really do; it’s simple and clean and friendly and has great users. But over time I’ve decided I’d rather just keep my gemlog on my capsule. So I’m moving over there. o § Technical⠀➾ # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ My_(third)_first_gemlog_entry⠀⇛ The FIRST first was on gemlog.blue, which I quickly left after realizing it was completely unmoderated. The SECOND first was on smol.pub, which is a lovely place with a great dev, but over time I came to decide I wanted to keep my gemlog here on my capsule and maintain it myself. So! I just spent an afternoon writing, testing, and re-writing a script that would let me generate gemlog entries in the terminal and append links onto an `index.gmi` file. It was a fun learning experience! I learned more about the `echo`, `read`, and `sed` commands in the process. But I just could not get new lines to work at all in the generated files, so… I decided to cheat. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ How_I_became_a_Contemplative_Hacker⠀⇛ A couple of years ago I started a journey, a self-discovery journey. The specific events that brought me there are not really relevant, so let’s just focus on the fact that one day I found myself immersed in a psychological and spiritual quest, trying to overcome a set of mental, emotional, and behavioral patterns that ended up being a General Anxiety Disorder. Despite all my expectations, that diagnosis was the best thing that could have ever happened. It was the entry gate, the trojan horse, the tunnel which would lead me toward the Source. Let’s start from the beginning. I had a pretty standard life. A good job, a beautiful family, and a whole set of capitalist collectibles: a fridge full of food, a house full of material possessions, a future full of plans, and a resume full of academic degrees. But definitely, there was something wrong, something that somehow was wrong from the beginning. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
