New_FSF_Video:_IDAD_2022_Interview_with_Muhammad_about_Freedom_to_Share⠀✐ Posted in Free/Libre_Software, FSF, Videos at 9:04 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz * ⚓ IDAD_2022:_Celebrating_the_freedom_to_share_with_a_new_advocacy_video⠀⇛ For IDAD 2022, FSF staff took to the streets to ask passersby what they think about digital sharing. Read our wrapup and watch the first in a series of videos we are releasing in the coming days. In our sixteenth annual International Day Against DRM (IDAD), we stood up for the freedom to share cultural works, continuing our fight against Digital Restrictions Management (DRM). Each year, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) rallies anti-DRM advocates from all over the world for a day of action against digital restriction. This year was no exception, building on the recent efforts we’ve made in our year-end fundraiser to draw attention to something vitally important for the free software movement and cultural endeavors alike: the freedom to share. In addition to our call to use DRM-free media as a springboard for starting a conversation about DRM with a friend or loved ones, we took to the streets of Boston to interview passersby on how they felt about digital sharing. At first, it seemed like a strange request to our interviewees, but its supposed “strangeness” highlights the success corporations like Disney and Netflix have had on the public consciousness. Just what does make a digital file so different that we’re barred from sharing it with a friend in person, or passing it down the family line like our favorite books? The results that we received were interesting to say the least, and we’ll have more to say about them in the future. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 215 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2022/12/27/frivolous-sirius-witch-hunts/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/12/27/frivolous-sirius-witch-hunts/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 12.27.22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Corporate_Bullying_Disguised_as_Mannerism_and_Professionalism⠀✐ Posted in Free/Libre_Software, Law at 12:40 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Demolition_Man_~_Violation:_It's_about_sharing,_not_just taking⦈_ Summary: The company that I left this month is breaching several regulations and failing to follow the law; to make matters worse, pointing this out from within the company is impermissible and may very well instigate witch-hunts THE HOLIDAYS are not over, but we’re still in a relatively quiet period of the year. People are resting. Nevertheless, we’re receiving additional information, which we plan to cover next month. As we shall show, under the guise of “manners” and the veneer of “professional” self-appointed enforcers are lying to people and lying about people. It is highly manipulative and it pits Sirius ‘Open_Source’ in conflict with human rights, not just labour regulations and ethical codes. Shown below is a portion of a month-old report (predating my resignation). It highlights the fact that the company where I worked for since early 2011 had gradually become more and more hostile towards its workers — to the point of false accusations and pathological lying. =============================================================================== ⚓ Adherence to the Rule of Law and Human Rights⠀⇛ From what can be gathered thus far, the company is shooting from the hip, walking in the dark without any legal guidance. From what’s witnessed and what lawyers have made an assessment of, legal protocols are disregarded or simple breached; the managers don’t go through HR as they did before (impartial), probably due to cost-related overheads and a lack of budget/money in the company’s bank account, as can be seen by failure to comply with very basic legal protocols. Very, very basic stuff. In a society based on the Rule of Law it is important to ensure, at all times, that laws are being followed, including the freedom of expression. A proper investigative process should be based on law-compliant guidelines rather than made up or twisted as one goes along, based on some personal preferences of a self-appointed investigator. Improvised ‘laws’ aren’t laws but kangaroo courts of theatrical nature with arbitrary routines. Freedom of speech was in general respected, but only selectively (i.e. rules not equally and consistently applied). Inside work, for instance, some people were allowed to express political opinions, whereas others got reprimanded for making a harmless joke pertaining to Donald Trump (whom the company’s founder supports). Is it the case that some workers have the privilege to express political opinions, whereas some are denied that? Is kinship a recipe for immunity, not just a recruitment fast lane? In the same vein, management can use very crude language at times, but even reasonably polite words used by ordinary staff are spun as “rude” and staff is forbidden from expressing opinions, based on false pretexts of “manners”. █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⢤⡤⣤⣤⣤⠀⣠⣤⢠⣤⡄⣤⣄⣤⢠⡤⣤⠄⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⢠⣤⢠⣤⡄⣤⣤⢠⣄⣤⡄⠀⢠⡄⡄⣤⣤⢤⣤⠄⢠⣤⡄⣤⣤⣤⢤⣤⠄⢤⡤⢠⣤⢠⣤⡄⣤⣤⣠⣄⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⢸⡇⠀⣽⣶⠀⣿⣿⢸⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⢸⡇⣿⠀⢨⣷⣾⣿⣿⣼⣽⣼⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⡇⠀⢸⣿⡇⣿⣿⢸⡇⠀⢸⣿⡇⣿⣽⣶⢸⣿⠀⢸⡇⣾⣽⣸⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link | md5sum 8d8f65debd319f2ce20370cf6df32a32 Sirius Spooking the Sceptics Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0 http://techrights.org/videos/sirius-witchhunt.webm Summary: Corporate bullying and false accusations/finger-pointing thrive when companies are failing and find themselves unable to blame the management; this is the story of the company my wife and I left this month (a company that only exploits the term “Open Source”) THE surveillance by Sirius_‘Open_Source’ (with even more surveillance in the pipeline) will be explained here next month, but today’s video deals with the low-grade muck-raking done by the company’s CEO instead of actually running the company. “They in turn resort to bullying for the sake of scaring sceptics or critics.”Who is disgracing the company? This episode in the company’s history is shameful and it is embarrassing to staff. As geeks flee the company (a years-long exodus as noted in the video above) all that’s left in Sirius is a bunch of self-appointed managers who are neither trained nor qualified to act like leaders. They in turn resort to bullying for the sake of scaring sceptics or critics. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 489 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2022/12/27/reality-check-sirius-open-source/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/12/27/reality-check-sirius-open-source/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 12.27.22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Reality_Check:_Sirius_‘Open_Source’_is_Not_Open_Source_Anymore_(and_Most_of the_Remaining_Staff_Turns_Down_Open_Source)⠀✐ Posted in Deception, Free/Libre_Software at 3:59 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Summary: What’s left of Sirius ‘Open Source’ (about a handful of people working full-time) is mostly people who don’t care about “Open Source” (or Free software) The following was_in_the_official_site of Sirius_‘Open_Source’ before the company turned rogue: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Open_Source_Engineering⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Sirius_Support_Banner⦈_ They took that down almost a decade ago.

Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0 http://techrights.org/videos/sirius-annual-statement.webm Summary: The company known as Sirius Corporation (founded_24+_years_ago as company number 03633198) is not really operational and it is carrying debt*; we seem to be dealing with a truly dodgy business here, albeit it goes by the name “Open Source” (which is a lie) THE 27th of December is treated like Boxing Day this year (due to Christmas happening or falling on a weekend), but Christmas Eve was 3 days ago — just 1 day after Sirius Corporation — the ‘parent’ of Sirius_‘Open_Source’ — had filed the annual papers about the financial state (as of March of this year). Sirius ‘Open Source’ has been racking up a lot of debt and the same is true for Sirius Corporation, which is discussed in the video above. There is another shell, albeit it is based in the United States and it probably has its own debt crisis. “There is another shell, albeit it is based in the United States and it probably has its own debt crisis.”The way things stand at the moment, Sirius Corporation seems like a collection of shells. As noted above, we were pretty much forced (not literally at gunpoint but blackmailed using threats) to move to a newly-minted shell without any legal advice (before, during, or after the signing). We’ll revisit this subject later this month. █ ____ * We’ve made local copies of two PDFs [1, 2].

Wikileaks_is_Losing_Pages._We_Replicate_Them_Here_to_Preserve_Important Information.⠀✐ Posted in Intellectual_Monopoly, Red_Hat at 8:50 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Summary: Red Hat has a history of ‘IP’ shakedown for censorship’s sake (covering up blunders); Wikileaks had a good example of this, but it has gone offline, so we reproduce it here IT was recently reported that Wikileaks had been losing pages as the site was having issues. Today I navigated to this_page, which turned out to be among those affected: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Wikileaks_error⦈_ It’s still in the Wayback Machine, but many people cannot find or search/ discover it at the Internet Archive. So here are the contents of the pages which concern Red Hat trying to threaten Wikileaks into self-censorship, using trademarks for the most part: § Category:Red Hat⠀➾ Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT) is an S&P 500 company in the free and open source software sector, and a major Linux distribution vendor. Founded in 1993, Red Hat has its corporate headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina with satellite offices worldwide. Red Hat based on their operating system product Red Hat Enterprise Linux and management products offers support, training (e.g. certifications like Red Hat Certified Engineer RHCE), and consulting services. Pages in category “Red Hat” The following 2 pages are in this category, out of 2 total. R - RHCE exam question 1 (2008) - RHCE exam question 2 (2008) These, in turn, link to the following two pages: § RHCE exam question 1 (2008)⠀➾ Release date May 26, 2008 Note From: Mia Bass Reply-To: mbass@redhat.com Privacy: yes Privacy: yes MIME-Version: 1.0 To: wikileaks@sunshinepress.org, usa@wikileaks.org Subject: URGENT--Removal of WikiLeaks Posting Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Privacy: yes Message-Id: <20080530124655.33C03394B47@mail.wikileaks.org> Date: Fri, 30 May 2008 13:46:55 +0100 (BST) Dear Sir or Madam: Red Hat, Inc. (Red Hat) recently became aware that a WikiLeaks subscriber has posted materials to your site purporting to be Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) exam questions. Those documents are found at the following links: http://wikileaks.org/wiki/RHCE_exam_question_1_%282008%29, http://wikileaks.org/wiki/RHCE_exam_question_2_%282008%29. It is our understanding that WikiLeaks.org is a website aimed toward revealing information regarding the unethical behavior of various foreign governments and corporations. We do not believe that posting exam content, authentic or otherwise, furthers the overall goal of your website. Red Hat neither confirms nor denies the authenticity of these documents. If authentic, their presence on your web site may assist people who wish to cheat on our exam; if not, then the documents mislead Red Hat exam candidates and is a clear misuse of our brand and trademarks. Consequently, it is imperative that both postings are immediately removed from the WikiLeaks website. We trust you will understand Red Hat's interests in protecting its valuable trademark rights and business interests. Please contact me no later than 5:00p.m. on Monday, June 2, 2008 to confirm that the postings have been removed, or if we need to take additional steps to remove the documents. Sincerely, -- Mia Bass Legal Affairs Red Hat, Inc. 1801 Varsity Drive Raleigh, N.C. 27606 Direct Tel: +1 919-754-4734 Email: mbass@redhat.com Wikileaks responds: From: editor@sunshinepress.org To: Mia Bass Cc: wikileaks@sunshinepress.org, usa@wikileaks.org Subject: Re: URGENT--Removal of WikiLeaks Posting Privacy: yes References: <20080530124655.33C03394B47@mail.wikileaks.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20080530124655.33C03394B47@mail.wikileaks.org> Message-Id: <20080530134035.C0D28394BD7@mail.wikileaks.org> Date: Fri, 30 May 2008 14:40:35 +0100 (BST) Dear Mia. Thank you for your letter. We have reviewed the material at an editorial level. Our view is as follows: The documents reveal that, at least in the UK, the Red Hat certificate is worthless as an unknown number of students are cheating on the exam. We have revealed which questions they have access to, placing all students on a level playing field and in the process destroying a black market in exam questions. If Red Hat is to be treated seriously as a provider of test credentials, then it is obligated to change its exam questions, review its security processes and the treatment of its staff. That Red Hat now seeks to censor the messenger and play ludicrous "we refuse to confirm or deny" games with the public instead of "apologising and improving" is cause for concern.

Linux was created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds, a Finnish software engineer, in order to be a free, openly-shared operating system that could be tailored for users’ specific computer hardware. By its very design, Linux is easy to customize, making it ideal for specific use cases like Starlink satellites. In addition, Linux-based operating systems can draw upon a worldwide repository of open-source programs and tools, enabling rapid prototyping of new hardware and software. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Manuel Matuzovic ☛ Day_66:_individual_transform properties⠀⇛ From now on you can transform elements with the translate, rotate, and scale properties. Let’s say you apply several transforms to an element, and on :hover and :focus you only want to change one of them, for example, scale. # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Using_Blender_as_a_video_editor⠀⇛ Clicking Video Editor in the Blender splash screen will take you to a timeline where you can do basic video editing. It’s a bit different from other packages I’ve used, but I’ve cut together and exported a few things for work on it, and have been pleasantly surprised. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Connecting_Commercial_433_MHz_Sensors_To_MQTT And_Home_Assistant_With_RTL-SDR⠀⇛ The idea is simple: virtually all of those sensors – many of them rated for outdoor use – use the unlicensed 433 MHz spectrum that can easily be captured using cheap RTL-SDR (software defined radio) USB dongles. With the data stream from these sensors captured, the open source rtl_433 project enables automatic decoding of these data streams for a wide range of supported sensors. # ⚓ Linux Nightly ☛ How_to_Find_My_IP_Address_in_Ubuntu_–_Linux Nightly⠀⇛ There are several ways to view your system’s IP address in Ubuntu. In this tutorial, you will learn how to find your IP address from the command line and GUI. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_List_All_Users_in_a_Linux_System?⠀⇛ In the Linux system, it is a critical administrative task to manage users, add them, remove users, or assign new user privileges. In Linux, numerous users can simultaneously work on the same system. But security measures must be made to stop breaching other users’ private data. Information related to the local users is stored in the path “/etc/passwd”. In which, every row indicates the data of a single user that may contain the name of the user, user Id, directory of the user, and login details. When it comes to the listing of the user in Linux, there are multiple ways to list them, we will discuss some of these in this tutorial. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ How_to_Determine_the_Filesystem_Type_in_Linux_ {Ext3,_Ext4,_XFS}⠀⇛ Determining the filesystem type in Linux can be useful in various scenarios, such as when you want to mount a filesystem, when you want to create a new filesystem, or when you want to format a disk. There are several ways to determine the filesystem type in Linux, such as using the df, mount, or the lsblk command. In this article, we will explore these different ways to determine the filesystem type in Linux.

For example, you need to highlight duplicate values in a sheet or remove shapes from the slides of a presentation. If this is the case, it might be challenging for you as a Linux user. Performing such tasks manually is meaningless. A lot of different operations can be easily done automatically with VBA macros in Microsoft Office. However, there is a serious problem – they don’t natively run on Linux machines. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ The_Complete_LXD_Tutorial⠀⇛ Linux supports the creation of containers, which act as virtual machines but are separated from the system process. Containers are lightweight, and unlike virtual machines, they don’t need CPU hardware virtualization support. Hence, you can quickly create multiple containers on one server. The containers can be created and managed using LXD. This guide discusses everything about LXD. We will see how to install LXD and create and manage containers. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Steam_Replay_gives_you_an_overview_of_your 2022_gaming_habits⠀⇛ Steam Replay is Valve’s new highlight page going over a bunch of fun stats about your gaming year, something made popular by the likes of Spotify Wrapped and similar events from numerous other places. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # ⚓ FOSS Post ☛ Xfce_4.18,_and_the_Future_of_the_Desktop⠀⇛ Xfce 4.18 was released on December 16, 2022. The lovely desktop environment has been around for around 25 years now (since 1997!). A lot of Linux and other Unix-like systems users like Xfce for how lightweight and straightforward it is. It just doesn’t get in the way of the user like some other desktops do. It helps the user to do what he/she wants to do. Perhaps the consistent user experience and familiar traditional design were the main selling points of this desktop, allowing it to last for more than quarter a century. In today’s article, we will examine the current state of the Xfce desktop, as well as some important feature highlights in the latest 4.18 release. We will also discuss some possible improvement points in the mouse-driven desktop. [...] Xfce is a very functional desktop for Linux and other Unix-like systems, it is enjoyed by many, and won’t be going away any time soon. Mostly it works just fine, the thing people love about it is that it works just fine for years without a breaking change for the user experience. However, some areas are still in need of improvements like we have seen together. Sadly, it feels like the development team is overwhelmed with tasks and to-dos. It could help a lot if you can donate to the project or help fix some issues by yourself, if you know how to. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Best_Linux_Distros_for_Programmers⠀⇛ Linux distros are the most popular operating systems for programming and other development-related work. Whether you are a programmer or a system administrator, Linux distros can maximize your productivity. Linux operating systems also provide power, flexibility, stability, and more features. However, the massive range of Linux operating systems may confuse programmers, whether they are experts or beginners. So, in this guide, we will explain the best Linux distros for programmers in 2023. o ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Best_Linux_Distros_for_USB_in_2023⠀⇛ If you have a low-end device, it can be hard to smoothly use the operating system. That’s why Linux contains various types of lightweight and portable distros. Portable distros provide a convenient approach to using Linux from a USB flash drive. You can carry these fully functional operating systems in a USB and connect them to your machine. It also comes in handy when you want to use someone else’s device but only works on your OS. However, the wide variety of these types of Linux distros sometimes confuses the beginners. This blog will give you a complete information on the best Linux distros for USB. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Pop!_OS_Vs_Linux_Mint_Compared⠀⇛ Various types of Linux OS are available to fulfill different users’ requirements. Linux operating systems like Arch Linux, Gentoo, and Kali Linux are the most suitable for advanced users. Linux Mint, Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, etc., are best for beginners. Although experienced users know which OS they should use, this is different for beginners. Some new users are always confused about which Linux OS is best for them. So, if you are also a beginner, this guide will briefly compare Pop!_OS and Linux Mint. [...] Pop!_OS and Linux Mint are best for beginners and provide a fresh experience to the users. However, there is always an argument between users that Linux Mint is not optimized enough. Linux Mint uses Cinnamon, which feels a bit outdated, so many users think it is old. On the other side, Pop!_OS is completely based on Ubuntu with the latest MESA drivers making it simple for Nvidia lovers. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Lichee_Pi_4A_RISC-V_platform_available_for pre-order⠀⇛ Sipeed also mentioned that support for operating systems such as Debian, Android and OpenWrt will be released around Q1 2023. Although, the company will provide support for more OSes in the future. It also seems that the company will release other commercial products built around the Lichee 4A, for instance, the Lichee Cluster 4A, the Lichee Router 4A and the Lichee Pad/Phone 4A. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ uni Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State ☛ Virginia Tech_researchers_earn_national_recognition_for_advances_in drone_practices⠀⇛ The award-winning project, “Research and Extension for Unmanned Aircraft Systems in U.S. Agriculture and Natural Resources,” evaluates and identifies the most reliable, cost-effective, and user- friendly drone platforms and sensors for monitoring and managing stressors in agriculture and natural resources. To maximize the accuracy of the data collected, project members developed hardware, software, and detailed protocols for calibrating and using drones. Maria Balota, a professor in the School and Plant and Environmental Sciences and Tidewater Agricultural Research and Extension Center; Daniel Fuka, a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering; Cully Hession, a professor and graduate program director in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering; and Joseph Oakes, the superintendent of the Eastern Virginia Agricultural Research and Extension Center, represented the university on the team of scientists. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Controls_Christmas_Light Effects_With_Custom_Web_Server⠀⇛ The project is built around a Raspberry Pi 4 but you could easily recreate the concept using a Pi 3 or even a Pi Zero W. The Pi needs to have GPIO to control the Christmas lights, which in this case is a strip of individually addressable WS2812b LEDs, as well as an Internet connection to help host the web server interface. # ⚓ IT Pro ☛ Return_of_the_Mac⠀⇛ The free software library RetroPie, for example, lets people relive the Amstrad CPC, Dragon 32, Commodore 64, Master System, Neo Geo, Oric, TRS-80 and Vectrex among many, many other machines. Raspberry Pi has also effectively become a near- perfect Amiga thanks to the distro Amibian. Recently, however, our heads were turned by a new tool created by Jarosław “Jaromaz” Mazurkiewicz called MacintoshPi. This open-source project allows users to run full-screen versions of Apple’s Mac OS 7, Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9 (operating systems released between 1991 and 2001) and it does so complete with sound, an active internet connection and modem emulation. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Teensy_Twofer_Of_Plug-In_Emulated_Retro_CPUs⠀⇛ [Ted Fried] wrote in with not one but two (2!) new drop-in replacements for widespread old-school CPUs: the Zilog Z80 and the Intel 8088. Both of the “chips” run in cycle-accurate mode as well as in a super turbo mode, which can run so fast that you’ll need to use the Teensy’s internal RAM just to keep up. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ You_can_now_set_Google_Illustrations_in Contacts_for_Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ Notebook Check ☛ Sought-after_Lenovo_Legion_Y700_8-inch Android_tablet_poised_for_possible_international_launch_– NotebookCheck.net_News⠀⇛ # ⚓ Indian Express ☛ New_Year_2023:_The_Android_apps_to_help you_gain_control_over_your_digital_life_|_Technology_News,The Indian_Express⠀⇛ # ⚓ Opinion:_Google_Pixel_8_needs_5_Android_OS_updates_to_stand out⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gadget Bridge ☛ 5_practical_ways_to_use_Android_NFC_in_your day-to-day_life_(2023)⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Authority ☛ We_asked,_you_told_us:_Many_of_you_own an_Android_TV_set_or_box⠀⇛ # ⚓ SamMobile ☛ Android_14_can_make_sure_your_device_can_access the_web_even_as_it_ages_–_SamMobile⠀⇛ # ⚓ SamMobile ☛ Samsung_Galaxy_A13_gets_Android_13,_its_first major_software_update_–_SamMobile⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ Roger Comply ☛ IPFS_error:_Resource_limits_were_exceeded⠀⇛ For a while now, my IPFS node has complained about resource limits being exceeded. Sadly, I’ve not had any time to look into the issue. Speaking of, what kind of miserable bastard would spend their Christmas holiday troubleshooting an IPFS node? Ah yes, that would be me. o § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntubuzz ☛ Download_Printable_2023_LibreOffice_Calc Calendar⠀⇛ This is a LibreOffice Calc calendar of 2023 made ready for you to download, import as template and print.

The AgStack Asset Registry dataset will aid food traceability, carbon tracking, crop production, and other field-level analytics. This ‘registry’ is designed to continuously update using data from satellites and real field registrations that contain boundary information, which will train machine learning models to ascertain more boundaries, among other capabilities. # § Open Access/Content⠀➾ # ⚓ [Old] Septentrio Academic Publishing ☛ No._39_(2020): UiT_goes_open:_Et_festlig_skrift_til_Stein_Høydalsvik⠀⇛ A collection of articles on various branches of Open Science dedicated to Stein Høydalsvik DOI: https://doi.org/10.7557/rt.39 # ⚓ OpenSource.com ☛ 6_articles_to_inspire_open_source sustainability_in_2023⠀⇛ The scientific community builds upon open access and open information. Recalling the famous quote in a 1675 letter by Isaac Newton: “if I have seen further [than others], it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” The scientific community has built our collective knowledge of the world around us on the information shared by those who came before us, and that is still the case today. Looking back at the past year examining open source science and sustainability here on Opensource.com, many of the top articles on this topic touched on aspects of climate change. And that’s a good thing to see. We’re all in this together when solving this global problem. No one benefits when the solutions to climate change are locked up in proprietary solutions. In order to succeed, we need to spread the solutions far and wide to enable a truly global effort to fight back and save our planet. Without further ado, here is a look back at some of the highlights from this year in science and sustainability. # ⚓ LSE ☛ Wikipedia_is_open_to_all,_the_research underpinning_it_should_be_too.⠀⇛ Often thought of as ‘the last good place on the internet’, Wikipedia plays a key role in the online information ecosystem by linking its entries to current and historic research papers. But, after following these links, how much of this research is openly accessible? Presenting evidence from a recent study, Andy Tattersall, finds that around 50% of research linked to Wikipedia from the White Rose Universities of Sheffield, York and Leeds, is openly accessible. As Wikipedia’s stated aim if for its sources to verifiable, he argues openness should be central to the use of research on Wikipedia. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # § C/C++⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Strcpy_C++⠀⇛ The C++ language has many inbuilt methods for programmers. We just need to access those methods by importing the required libraries. Strings play a vital role in coding and C++ provides plenty of built-in functions for strings. Strings are arrays of characters. It can store one or more than one characters. The difference between character arrays and strings is that character arrays can be of fixed size but mostly we do not define the size. And in strings, we do not need to limit the size. There are many methods used for strings. We can find the length of strings, we can concatenate two or more strings, and many more methods for strings are available for programmers to use. One of these built-in methods is string copy, denoted by the term strcpy(). This function is used to copy one string in another. These methods are pre- built in the C++ library so that we do not have to write the entire piece of code over and over again for the operations we carry out for the majority of the time when we code. To use this strcpy() function, we need to import the specific library that contains this method. For this function, we have to import any of the below command. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ C:_Connect_Function_System_Call⠀⇛ In the C language, establishing a client- server connection through a socket requires several steps and functions. Some of these are used to retrieve data from the server you want to connect to, others are used to create the socket or convert addresses. Although there is no particular order, this series of steps and function calls must be done in an order because their results are used in the input arguments of the subsequent function. In this Linux Hint article, you will learn how to use the connect() function and create a socket from scratch to connect remotely to a server. We begin with a description of the syntax, the input and output arguments that make up this function, and a theoretical explanation of how it works. Then, we will look at an example that shows step-by-step process on how to create and connect a socket. # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ How_to_Generate_Random_String_in_Python_– TecAdmin⠀⇛ Generating random strings in Python is a common task that can be useful in various scenarios, such as when you need to create unique identifiers, when you want to generate random passwords, or when you want to create random data for testing purposes. In Python, you can use the random module and the string module to generate random strings. The random module provides functions for generating random numbers, and the string module provides functions for generating random strings. [...] In conclusion, generating random strings in Python is a useful task that can be easily accomplished using the random module and the string module. The `random` module provides functions for generating random numbers, and the string module provides functions for generating random strings. By combining these two modules, you can generate random strings of any length and complexity. Understanding how to generate random strings in Python can be helpful in various scenarios, such as when you need to create unique identifiers, when you want to generate random passwords, or when you want to create random data for testing purposes. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ How_to_Generate_Random_Password_in_Python –_TecAdmin⠀⇛ In Python, you can generate a random password using the secrets module, which is part of the Python standard library. The secrets module provides a secure way to generate random strings, numbers, and other values that can be used for various purposes, such as generating passwords, tokens, or unique IDs. # § Shell/Bash⠀➾ # ⚓ The_Bash_And_Condition_–_buildVirtual⠀⇛ In Bash, the && operator is used to perform a logical AND operation. It allows you to execute a command if and only if the preceding command executes successfully. # ⚓ What_Are_the_Different_Types_of_Linux_Shells?⠀⇛ The UNIX/Linux shell is a command-line program that creates a bridge between the terminal emulator and kernel to allow users to enter commands, execute programs, and perform various other tasks by typing commands at the command prompt. Once the shell has finished executing the user assigned program, it will send the output to the user on the terminal screen, which is the standard output device. Note that the shell is not just a program but a whole programming language like Python or C/C++. You can write your own program, utility, or script that contains the if-else logic, loop statement, functions, variables, object, etc. Most users are familiar with the Bash shell (the successor to the traditional “sh“), but there are many other shell implementation programs that provide different features and functionality, which we will explore in this article. # ⚓ The Valuable Dev ☛ A_Guide_to_the_Terminal,_Console, and_Shell⠀⇛ Why does Davina want her colleagues to know more about the virtual consoles, the terminal, and the shell? I don’t know any developer who doesn’t use a terminal, a shell, and some CLIs. I definitely use them all the time. They are the central building bricks of my Mouseless Development Environment. So, since it’s so useful, let’s look a bit deeper what’s this shell, console, and terminal. More precisely, we’ll see, in this article: [...] # § Rust⠀➾ # ⚓ OpenSource.com ☛ 3_aspects_of_Rust_you_need_to learn⠀⇛ Rust is consistently voted one of the languages people most want to learn. In 2022, Opensource.com had a few articles to help you get started. Rust is a fairly new language, but it’s grown quickly. The general excitement about it goes beyond interest in a new language to try. Rust has genuinely useful features, like the ability to allocate data to the heap (instead of the stack) using the Box data type. There’s no separate garbage collection required, and you don’t have to manually manage memory yourself. Additionally, the Crate.io infrastructure for library management and installation makes it easy to find and use functions contributed by the Rust community. Rust is a programming language focusing on speed, concurrency, and safety. Thanks to its integration with online registries, its helpful compiler, and its almost intuitive… * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ History Computer ☛ VisiCalc_of_Dan_Bricklin_and_Bob_Frankston Guide:_History,_Origin,_and_More⠀⇛ VisiCalc was the first spreadsheet program released in 1979 for the Apple II computer. It was easy to use and allowed for data sorting and storing in tabular rows and columns. VisiCalc was created to address and replace the manual spreadsheet management method. Changing a single value meant modifying the entire spreadsheet because changes made to one cell were automatically applied to all connected cells with VisiCalc. This program was one of the most critical factors in making personal computers more appealing to everyday customers and companies instead of hobbyists and techies. o ⚓ [Old] Dan Bricklin ☛ VisiCalc:_Information_from_its_creators,_Dan Bricklin_and_Bob_Frankston⠀⇛ This web site, www.bricklin.com, includes lots of information about VisiCalc, the first computer spreadsheet program as we know them today. It has material directly from Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston, the co-creators of VisiCalc, including scans of original photographs from VisiCalc’s development days, a working copy of the program, and other things from Software Arts, Inc., Dan and Bob’s company. Additional material is constantly being added, so researchers, computer historians, and teachers should check back periodically. o ⚓ [Old] Cult Of Mac ☛ Today_in_Apple_history:_Apple_II_gets_its first_‘killer_app’⠀⇛ January 2, 1979: Entrepreneurs Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston incorporate their company Software Arts to publish a little program called VisiCalc. The first spreadsheet for the Apple II, the $100 VisiCalc ultimately becomes personal computing’s first “killer app.” It helps transform personal computers from “cool to have” toys into “must have” business accessories. o ⚓ [Old] Jeremy Norman ☛ Dan_Bricklin_Introduces_VisiCalc,_the_First Spreadsheet_Program⠀⇛ In 1979 Dan Bricklin, a student at Harvard Business School, and Bob Frankston wrote VisiCalc, the first spreadsheet program, for the Apple II. It helped dispel the notion that the Apple II was only a toy for hobbyists. The PC version of VisiCalc was called “the first killer app” for the PC. o ⚓ India Times ☛ Language_Technology_Startup_Process9_launches latest_version_of_its_Neural_Machine_Translations_in_13_Indian languages;_doubles_translator’s_output⠀⇛ Process9, India’s leading language technology company, has released the latest version of its cloud-based neural machine translation technology – MoxWave. This new Made in India SaaS product can translate content into 13 Indian languages, including a popular mix of Hindi and English (Hinglish). More Indian and global languages are being added to the product. One of MoxWave’s key features is its ability to be tailored for particular domains like BFSI, e-commerce, Govt/PSU or chatbots. With customization, the translation caters to the target audience by using words that are specific to the industry. Companies and individual translators can even use their own data to train the software so that it can produce an output of higher quality. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ 3D_Modelling_In_English_With_AI⠀⇛ By now, you’ve surely seen the AI tools that can chat with you or draw pictures from prompts. OpenAI now has Point-E, which takes text or an image and produces a 3D model. You can find a few runnable demos online, but good luck having them not too busy to work. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Bill Wadge ☛ 50_Years_of_Wow-_I_lived_through_5_decades_of computing_milestones⠀⇛ Everyone’s all, “Wow, chatGPT, amazing, a real milestone, everything will change from now on”. And they’re right – but probably don’t realize that this is not the first time something like this has happened. In fact there’s been wave after wave of computing technological innovation ever since the industry got started in the 1950’s. Here are some of the waves I’ve experienced personally. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Telex (Hungary) ☛ The_computer_for_everyone_that_made_a video_game-superpower_out_of_Hungary⠀⇛ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Standalone_Touch_ID_For_Your_Desktop_Mac⠀⇛ With the proliferation of biometric access to mobile devices, entering a password on your desktop can feel so passé. [Snazzy Labs] decided to fix this problem for his Mac by liberating the Touch ID from a new Apple keyboard. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Turning_A_Microchip_MPLAB_Snap_Into_A_UDPI_AVR Programmer⠀⇛ The Unified Program and Debug Interface (UPDI) is Microchip’s proprietary interface for programming and on-chip debugging, and has become the standard on AVR MCUs after Microchip’s purchase of Atmel. Being a proprietary interface means that even entry-level programmers like the Atmel-ICE are rather expensive at over $100. That’s when for [Scott W Harden] the question arose of whether the much cheaper MPLAB Snap board (~$34) could be used as well for AVR UDPI purposes. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ 3D-Printed_Self-Balancing_Robot_Brings_Control Theory_To_Life⠀⇛ Stabilizing an inverted pendulum is a classic problem in control theory, and if you’ve ever taken a control systems class you might remember seeing pages full of differential equations and bode diagrams just to describe its basic operation. Although this might make such a system seem terribly complicated, actually implementing all of that theory doesn’t have to be difficult at all, as [Limenitis Reducta] demonstrates in his latest project. All you need is a 3D printer, some basic electronic skills and knowledge of Python. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Tube_Audio_Amplifiers_Needn’t_Be_Complex⠀⇛ There’s a mystique in audiophile circles about tube amplifiers. They can have a very nice sound which is attributed to their even-harmonic distortion, but they are often portrayed as requiring rare and expensive components. You don’t need matched gold- plated tubes and special transformers would by Japanese monks with oxygen-free silver wire when the tube you’d have found in a TV back in the day paired with a repurposed mains transformer will do. [Mikremk] demonstrates this with a simple but effective amplifier using a PCL82 triode-pentode. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ RTL ☛ Winter_sports_etiquette⠀⇛ What follows is both a small introduction for newcomers and a friendly reminder for all you veterans out there. Regardless of your preferred equipment (skis obviously being cooler than snowboards), if you find yourself lucky enough to embark on winter holidays despite Covid-19, use this quick read to freshen up on the basics! # ⚓ NBC ☛ DIY_dental_‘hacks’_keep_going_viral_on_TikTok._But dentists_say_they_can_be_dangerous_and_painful.⠀⇛ Teeth are organs with their own blood supplies and delicate nerve structures, which “people don’t understand,” Winters said. By whittling away the hard, protective enamel that covers the surface of a tooth, “you’re basically giving yourself a deadline for how long that tooth can last.” # ⚓ The Hill ☛ TikTok_bans_on_government_devices_raise questions_about_platform’s_future⠀⇛ The latest development is the decision by Republicans and Democrats in Congress to include a measure banning TikTok from devices used by federal employees in the $1.7 trillion year-end omnibus bill setting out federal funding for the next year. It follows similar moves by a host of state governments to keep TikTok off devices held by state government workers. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ Vanuatu_ransomware_attack_claimed_by RansomHouse [iophk: Windows TCO]⠀⇛ On December 24, RansomHouse threat actors added the government of Vanuatu to their leak site, claiming to have locked them on October 6 and exfiltrated 3.2 TB of files. A proof pack includes files that do appear to be consistent with government files. The evidence pack did not include particularly personal or sensitive files. # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ Cyber_attacks_set_to_become_‘uninsurable’, says_Zurich_chief [iophk: Windows TCO]⠀⇛ From what this blogger has seen, lack of insurance does not reduce the likelihood of an entity becoming a victim in the k-12 education sector. How many school districts have we seen that were hit and did not have any cyberinsurance to pay any ransom demands or just refused to pay ransom? Vice Society even told this blogger that the absence of cyberinsurance is not a factor for them or deterrent, and when asked about one of their recent attacks on a k-12 district, a Hive spokesperson told this blogger that they had no idea whether the victim had cyberinsurance to pay as they hadn’t checked. So maybe that approach is not likely to be as effective as some might hope. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Cyber_threats_shoot_up_over_60%_through_Nov: S.Korea [iophk: Windows TCO]⠀⇛ Nearly 90 per cent of the ransomware victims were small and midsized enterprises, and only 41.8 per cent of them had systems that could defend against ransomware attacks, the data added. # ⚓ Naz Markuta ☛ Cracking_encrypted_Lastpass_vaults⠀⇛ In this post I will go into technical details on what attackers could do with the stolen encrypted vaults, specifically how they could use tools like Hashcat to crack vault passwords and get access to sensitive log-in credentials. To simulate the stolen data, I will use my test Lastpass account to extract an encrypted vault from the Chrome Browser extension on macOS. Following this, I will use a wordlist attack to bruteforce the vault which has a weak and guessiable password. # ⚓ [Repeat] The Verge ☛ [crackers]_stole_encrypted_LastPass password_vaults,_and_we’re_just_now_hearing_about_it⠀⇛ If you have an account you use to store passwords and login information on LastPass, or you used to have one and hadn’t deleted it before this fall, your password vault may be in hackers’ hands. Still, the company claims you might be safe if you have a strong master password and its most recent default settings. However, if you have a weak master password or less security, the company says that “as an extra security measure, you should consider minimizing risk by changing passwords of websites you have stored.” That might mean changing the passwords for every website you trusted LastPass to store. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Madison_Square_Garden’s_Facial_Recognition Tech_Boots_Lawyers_Litigating_Against_The_Venue⠀⇛ MSG Entertainment — the company running New York’s Madison Square Garden and other venues — has chosen to turn over its doorman duties to facial recognition tech. Setting aside the fact (for the sake of argument) that this tech tends to subject minorities and women to higher rates of false positives/negatives, recent events at MSG Entertainment-owned venues suggest maybe it’s not a wise idea to do certain things just because you can. # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ Vendor_Claims_to_Have_Scraped_400M Twitter_User_Records⠀⇛ The data, that were allegedly scraped due to a vulnerability, include email, name, username, follower_count, creation_date, and phone_number. The seller provides a sample on the forum that involves well-known individuals. # ⚓ EFF ☛ Privacy_Shouldn’t_Clock_Out_When_You_Clock_In: 2022_in_Review⠀⇛ Since then, EFF has joined with those in the labor community to learn more about surveillance in the workplace and on work devices, and the effect it has on employees. Particularly as regulators start to pay more attention, and legislators include workers’ privacy in general consumer privacy bills, it’s important to understand the ways that the workplace presents unique challenges in this arena. Bossware has Real Effects on Workers As white collar remote workers felt bossware breathing down their necks, there was more coverage than ever of how employers are monitoring the workforce, and the lasting effects it has on workers’ health, safety, livelihood, and collective bargaining rights. Even for remote staff, these stresses affected their mental health and family responsibilities. But it is workers across all fields that have increasingly felt the heat of surveillance, and some of the coverage was propelled by blue collar workers who fought back, from meatpacking facilities to service workers to delivery drivers who experienced increased surveillance as a form of retaliation for wage demands. Neither the ineffectiveness nor the impact on real people calmed employers’ desires for increasing means to monitor and control worker behavior, with some even floating a database on worker productivity. Courts and agencies in other countries, like the Netherlands, have been quicker to take on U.S. firms who they allege have violated the human rights of foreign remote workers with demands on their acquiescence to invasive monitoring. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Suing_Meta_in_Kenya⠀⇛ A similar pattern is detectable in the digital world.  The slavers have replaced their human product with data and information. The ubiquitous sharing of information on social media platforms has brought with it a fair share of dangerous ills. A $2 billion lawsuit against Facebook’s parent company Meta, which was filed in Kenya’s High Court this month, is a case in point. The petitioners, Kenyan rights group Katiba Institute, and Ethiopian researchers Fisseha Tekle and Abrham Meareg, argue that Meta failed to employ sufficient safety measures on the Facebook platform which would have prevented the incitement of lethal conflict.  Most notable were the deaths of Ethiopians arising from the Tigray War, a conflict that has claimed tens of thousands of lives, and seen the displacement of 2.1 million Ethiopians. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Times Higher Education ☛ No_need_to_tie_student_visas_to dropout_rate,_say_Swedish_rectors⠀⇛ The Swedish Migration Agency found a third of all Pakistani master’s students dropped out and took up full-time work as soon as they hit the 30-credit or one-semester threshold to be eligible for a work permit under Swedish law. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Resisting_Gun_Violence⠀⇛ # ⚓ EFF ☛ Police_Drones_and_Robots:_2022_in_Review⠀⇛ This year began with a report that elucidated what police are doing with drones. Answer? Not much for now. A law in Minnesota mandates police departments report  all of the times they deployed drones and for what reason. We’ve suspected that police have few clear uses, other than invasive surveillance. The Minnesota report reveals that drones were mostly  just for training purposes. One purpose Axon was hoping to find for drones this year was to stop school shooters. The company announced they were developing a drone that came with a mounted taser for the purpose of subduing people in dangerous situations. The backlash was immediate. After a majority of Axon’s ethics board resigned the company paused the project. In Oakland and in San Francisco, activists defeated municipal plans to authorize police to use deadly force with remote-controlled robots. In Oakland, police hoped to use a shotgun-mounted robot-–a plan which received so much backlash the proposal was pulled in just a few days. In San Francisco, it took a little longer. After the Board of Supervisors voted 8-to-3 to authorize police to use robots strapped with bombs to deploy deadly force, an EFF-led coalition mobilized. After one week, which included a rally and international press attention, the Board of Supervisors reversed course. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russian_soldier_who_confessed_to_murdering_a Ukrainian_civilian_is_being_investigated_for_‘fakes’_about the_Russian_army_—_Meduza⠀⇛ A Khabarovsk military court is hearing a case against service member Daniil Frolkin. He’s been charged with spreading known falsehoods, created by a group of people with selfish motives, about the Russian army. Human rights media project OVD-Info called attention to the case. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Izyum_renames_19_streets_as_part_of_‘de- Russification_of_toponyms’_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Authorities in the city of Izyum, in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, have decided to rename 19 streets in order to “de-Russify toponyms,” according to the city’s deputy mayor Volodymyr Matsokin. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Ukrainian_Foreign_Ministry_calls_for_Russia_to_be excluded_from_UN_and_UN_Security_Council_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry released a statement saying that Russian joined the United Nations (UN) illegally, occupying the place held by the USSR on the UN Security Council. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ ‘Every_War_Ends_in_a_Diplomatic_Way’: Ukrainian_Foreign_Minister_Floats_February_Peace_Summit⠀⇛ o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ Marcy Wheeler ☛ “Dumb_&_silent_we_may_be_led,_like_sheep, to_the_Slaughter:”_Elvis_Chan,_Hacks,_the_Klan,_and_the Twitter_Files⠀⇛ In fact, though Hunter Biden came up in this deposition 36 times, Chan’s testimony was that Hunter Biden came up in just one briefing with social media companies, one in which someone from FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, Laura Dehmlow, refused to comment in response to a question from Facebook about the already-published NY Post story. # ⚓ The Dissenter ☛ Responding_To_Critics:_Reality_Winner_Talks Snowden,_Trump_Taking_Classified_Documents⠀⇛ # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ New_JFK/CIA_Revelations_&_Our_Alarmingly Secretive_Security_State⠀⇛ o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Markets_and_Technology_Won’t_Solve_Climate Crisis._We_Must_End_Capitalism.⠀⇛ # § Energy⠀➾ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Following_Electric_Vehicle_Announcement, Advocates_Say_DeJoy_Still_Needs_to_Go⠀⇛ # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Shell_Persists_with_Effort_to_Explore_for Oil_Off_South_Africa’s_Wild_Coast⠀⇛ On the southern coast of Africa, local community groups and environmental activists have been celebrating a significant legal victory over a major oil player. In September a South African court prohibited Shell’s controversial plan to conduct seismic exploration for oil and gas deposits off the Wild Coast in South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province. But, the battle is far from over, Shell is appealing the ruling, and it has the resources and government support to take the case through the country’s court system to get the decision it’s after. # § Overpopulation⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Arizona_Is_in_a_Race_to_the_Bottom of_Its_Water_Wells,_With_Saudi_Arabia’s_Help⠀⇛ Thanks to fresh scrutiny this year from state politicians, water activists and journalists, the Saudi agricultural giant Almarai has emerged as an unlikely antagonist in the water crisis. The company, through its subsidiary Fondomonte, has been buying and leasing land across western Arizona since 2014. This year The Arizona Republic published a report showing that the Arizona State Land Department has been leasing 3,500 acres of public land to Almarai for a suspiciously low price. The case has prompted calls for an investigation into how a foreign company wound up taking the state’s dwindling water supplies for a fee that might be as low as one-sixth the market rate. But the focus on the Saudi scheme obscures a more fundamental problem: pumping groundwater in Arizona remains largely unregulated. It’s this legal failing that, in part, allows the Saudi company to draw unlimited amounts of water to grow an alfalfa crop that feeds dairy cows 8,000 miles away. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ India Times ☛ Public_cloud_repatriation_trends_are_gaining ground_and_can’t_be_ignored⠀⇛ However, there are companies which went to the cloud with great enthusiasm; however, they are now struggling with bloating costs of running their business in comparison to their in-house infra. What is cloud repatriation? Cloud repatriation means a reverse migration from public cloud by large enterprises to on-premises IT infrastructure. This is a remarkable trend that is gaining momentum with respect to public cloud these days. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Industrial_Policy_Is_Not_a_Remedy_for Income_Inequality⠀⇛ # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ The_Most_Dangerous_Architect_in_America⠀⇛ Gregory Ain wanted to create social housing in Los Angeles. Dogged by the FBI, his hope for more egalitarian architecture never came to be. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ A_Note_on_Minimum_Age_for_Mandatory Retirement_Fund_Distributions⠀⇛ The mandatory distribution requirement is based on life expectancy at your current age. This means, for example, if your life expectancy at 72 is ten years, then you have to withdraw (and pay taxes) on roughly 10 percent of the money in your IRA or 401 (k). The actual calculations are somewhat more complicated, but this is the basic story. Anyhow, the ostensible justification for raising the age for mandatory withdrawals was that people are worried about outliving their retirement funds. It is important to realize that this is not really the issue with mandatory withdrawals. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Trump,_Bankman-Fried,_Musk:_Monsters_of American_Capitalism⠀⇛ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ US_Military’s_2023_Budget_Boost_Is_3,200 Times_Larger_Than_NLRB’s_Increase⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Amid_Inflation_and_Short-Staffing,_Labor Organizers_Demanded_More_in_2022⠀⇛ o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ The Nation ☛ The_Making_of_a_Congressional_Con_Man⠀⇛ If Santos seemed almost too good to be true, it’s because almost his entire biography and résumé was a fiction. As the Forward reported on Wednesday, “Congressman-elect George Santos’s emotional narrative of having Jewish grandparents who fled Europe during World War II appears to be untrue, like much of the rest of his campaign biography, according to genealogy websites reviewed by the Forward.” It’s an open question whether Santos is even Jewish at all. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Elon_Musk_Claims_He’s_Not_Worried_About_The_FTC; He_Should_Be⠀⇛ Soon after Elon took over Twitter and fired everyone, we wondered (somewhat jokingly) if there was anyone left at the company who was aware of the FTC’s consent decree with the company, signed originally in 2011, but which runs for 30 years, and which was updated back in May of 2022. These documents have some fairly strict requirements for the company around protecting the privacy of its users, and also limiting employees access to certain data. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Electoral_Count_Act_Reform_Is_Welcome—But Much_More_Is_Needed_to_Save_Democracy⠀⇛ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Raskin_Says_Electoral_College_Is_a_‘Danger’ to_Democracy_and_Should_Be_Abandoned⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Poor_People_Have_the_Power_to_Transform America⠀⇛ Last week, I was in Washington, D.C.’s Union Station. The weather had turned cold and I couldn’t help noticing what an inhospitable place it had become for the city’s homeless and dispossessed. Once upon a time, anyone was allowed to be in the train station at any hour. Now, there were signs everywhere announcing that you needed a ticket to be there. Other warning signs indicated that you could only sit for 30 minutes at a time at the food-court tables, while barriers had been placed where benches used to be to make it that much harder to congregate, no less sit down. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Are_Aliens_Who_Visit_Earth_Likely_to_Be Socialist?⠀⇛ In 2020, I published a book about the Posadists, a communist sect from Argentina who believed that the extraterrestrial pilots of UFOs had come in peace to help us overcome the suicidal capitalist order that rules Earth. The Posadists were an apocalyptic cult with absurd ideas about nuclear war and comradeship with dolphins, but their party line on aliens was pretty sound. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Putin_creates_new_position_for_Medvedev, appointing_him_first_Deputy_Chairman_of_the_Military- Industrial_Commission_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Russian President Vladimir Putin named Dmitry Medvedev, currently the deputy chairman of the Security Council, to another post — the first deputy chairman of the Military-Industrial Commission of the Russian Federation. Putin’s decree on the matter has been published on the official web portal for legal information. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Consequences_of_“For_as_Long_as_It Takes”⠀⇛ For Ukrainians, they will confirm the official Ukrainian perspective that, with the world’s preeminent military power irrevocably committed to offering unlimited miltary and economic support, perpetuating the war will be worth all the sacrifices which doing so will entail. For Russians, they will confirm, dramatically, the official perspective that Russia is at war with the United States and NATO, not with the manipulated “brotherly people” of Ukraine, that this war is existential for Russia and that Russia cannot afford to lose this war. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Even_After_Electric_Vehicle_Progress, Advocates_Say_DeJoy_Should_Still_Be_Fired⠀⇛ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ The_Corporate_Media’s_Commitment_to_‘Both Sides’_Coverage_Is_Dangerous⠀⇛ # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ Society for American Archaeology ☛ SAA_Sends_Letter to_Netflix_Concerning_“Ancient_Apocalypse”_Series⠀⇛ We have requested Netflix and ITN remove any labels that state or imply that this series is a factual documentary or docuseries, reclassify the series as “science fiction,” and to balance the deleterious content in the show with scientifically accurate information about our human past. # ⚓ Society for American Archaeology ☛ SAA_open_letter_to express_the_Society_for_American_Archaeology’s_concern over_the_series_Ancient_Apocalypse⠀⇛ (2) Netflix identifies and advertises the series as a “docuseries,” a genre that implies its content is grounded in fact when the content of the show is based on false claims about archaeologists and archaeology; and [...] # ⚓ RTL ☛ Falsehoods_plague_elections_as_voters_tackle Trumpian_tactics⠀⇛ From the United States to Brazil and Israel, a barrage of election-related misinformation hammered voters around the world in 2022, but many pushed back against the conspiracy-laden Trumpian tactic of sowing distrust in the democratic process. A tsunami of falsehoods flooded Twitter, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube — from “deep fake” videos to doctored photos seeking to manipulate voters — with pro-democracy activists accusing the platforms of doing too little to combat the menace. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ The_Battle_For_Online_Speech_Moved_To_U.S._Courts: 2022_in_Review⠀⇛ The bevy of bad internet regulation proposals coming out of Congress hasn’t stopped. In 2022, the EARN IT Act was re-introduced. This wrongheaded bill would have allowed states to strip away critical legal protections for any websites, apps, or platforms, as long as state lawmakers linked their proposals to child abuse. If passed, the EARN IT Act would encourage censorship and prod companies away from using encryption. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ TikTok_Admits_It_Used_App_Data_To_Spy_On Journalists_To_Try_To_Find_Source_Of_Leak⠀⇛ Either way, in October, we again wrote about another story by Baker-White, now at Forbes, talking about how ByteDance appeared to use TikTok data to try to spy on certain US citizens, though the details were vague. As we said at the time, this seemed like the sort of thing that should spur people to pass a comprehensive federal privacy law, not that that’s happened. Instead, we’ve just been getting more and more performative nonsense focused exclusively on TikTok, rather than on the underlying problem. Now, Baker-White has the third piece in this trilogy that ties them all together. Apparently one of the US citizens ByteDance was trying to spy on… was Baker-White herself, and it was because of the original Buzzfeed article, as the company sought to track down how the initial info was leaked. It’s quite a story and you should read the whole thing, though here’s just a snippet. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ ‘The_Worst_Year_for_Independent_Media’_in Nicaragua⠀⇛ With an entire newsroom in exile, over a dozen media licenses revoked and more than 120 journalists fleeing, journalists and analysts say Nicaragua is witnessing one of its worst periods for press freedox o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Lusaka ZM ☛ Amnesty_International_welcomes_abolishment_of the_death_penalty⠀⇛ Mr. Chagutah says Zambia has become the 25th country in sub-Saharan Africa to abolish the death penalty for all crimes. # ⚓ Teen Vogue ☛ Taliban_Ban_Women_From_Universities_In_Latest Crackdown⠀⇛ The regression of women’s rights is the latest in a series of moves made by the Taliban in line with their hardline interpretation of Sharia law. The Taliban were in power in Afghanistan from 1996 until 2001, when they were forced out by a U.S.-led invasion. After two decades of occupation, U.S. forces left Afghanistan in August 2021, with large majorities of Americans “expressing negative views of the Biden administration’s handling of the situation in Afghanistan,” according to Pew Research Center. Disapproval largely centered around criticism that Biden should have started the evacuations earlier or in a more orderly manner. Within ten days of the American troop withdrawal, the Taliban had laid siege to the country, regaining power with shocking speed. # ⚓ BBC ☛ Iran_protests:_‘No_going_back’_as_unrest_hits_100 days⠀⇛ A hundred days after they began, the longest running anti-government protests in Iran since the 1979 Islamic revolution have shaken the regime, but at a heavy cost to the people. More than 500 protesters, including 69 children, have been killed, according to the Human Rights Activists’ News Agency (HRANA). Two protesters have been executed and at least 26 others face the same fate, after what Amnesty International calls “sham trials”. # ⚓ Foreign Policy ☛ Iran’s_Revolutionary_Year⠀⇛ The movement amounts to the most serious challenge to the regime’s control of the country since the early days of the 1979 Iranian Revolution. The protests are also the longest running since the Green Movement arose after the disputed 2009 presidential election. Unlike the earlier revolt, however, the current movement is leaderless—and more explicitly revolutionary in character. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Sex_Workers_Have_Been_Banned_From_Airbnb_for Years._Will_You_Be_Next?⠀⇛ Freya was planning a Christmas vacation to a small seaside town when she received a notification: Airbnb had not only canceled her booking but also suspended her account.

I took a look at the even wider disparities for various types of essential workers. My calculations are based on average S&P 500 CEO pay of $18.3 million in 2021 (the most recent figure available), which works out to $8,798 per hour, or $147 per minute. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Greg_Abbott_Blasted_for_Bussing_Migrants_to Kamala_Harris’s_Home_in_Cruel_Stunt⠀⇛ # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Abbott_Blasted_for_‘Cruel_Stunt’_as_Migrants Bussed_to_Kamala_Harris’_Home_on_Christmas_Eve⠀⇛ “How Christian of you, Greg Abbott,” Rep.

Brody’s new book is just out, titled “To Catch a Dictator: The Pursuit and Trial of Hissène Habré.” Habré, a former U.S. ally, was convicted in 2016 by the Extraordinary African Chambers in the Senegalese court system and sentenced to life in prison. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ As_Temperature_Drops,_Incarcerated_People Prepare_for_Dangerously_Cold_Conditions⠀⇛ For the millions of people incarcerated in the U.S., freezing temperatures amid failing infrastructure can be deadly. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ The_Adoption_of_the_EU’s_Digital_Services_Act:_A Landmark_Year_for_Platform_Regulation:_2022_in_Review⠀⇛ The DSA overhauls the EU’s core platform regulation, the e-Commerce Directive, and is intended to be an important tool in making the internet a fairer place by setting out new legal responsibilities for online platforms and educating users on why content is removed and what they can do about it. The powers of Big Tech are also reined in as the DSA subjects “very large online platforms (VLOPs)” to comply with far-reaching obligations and responsibly tackle systemic risks and abuse on their platform. These risks cover a variety of aspects, including the dissemination of illegal content, disinformation, and negative impact on fundamental rights. VLOPs also face oversight through independent audits, which will assess whether platforms respect the obligations under the DSA. Whilst the obligations placed on intermediary services depend on the role, size, and impact of the service in the online ecosystem, the DSA introduces all-encompassing protections on user rights to privacy by prohibiting platforms from undertaking targeted advertising based on sensitive user information, such as ethnicity or sexual orientation. More broadly, the DSA increases the transparency about the ads users see on their feeds as platforms must place a clear label on every ad, with information about the buyer of the ad and other details. Despite being in its infancy, this provision is already inducing tension as companies like Twitter – whose primary source of income is obtained through ad revenue – have publicly affirmed their intention to further amplify targeted ads on the platform, in potential contravention of the DSA. The DSA’s emphasis on greater transparency and user rights also includes requirements on platforms to explain their content curation algorithms in more detail and in user-friendly language. This aims to ensure that users can better understand how content decisions – which should be non-arbitrary – are made, and how they can pursue reinstatement should platforms make mistakes. The DSA also requires platforms to give users the option to choose a content curation algorithm that is not based on profiling. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Hollywood Reporter ☛ With_YouTube_Deal,_the_NFL_Cements Itself_as_the_Most_Powerful_Force_in_Entertainment⠀⇛ The NFL will now take in $120 billion over the next decade, not only from legacy TV companies like NBC, CBS, Disney and Fox, but arguably the three most powerful companies in technology today: Apple, Amazon and Google. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ UK_IP_Office_Tries_To_Claim_Netflix_Password Sharing_Is_Illegal⠀⇛ The UK Government’s Intellectual Property Office published new piracy guidance this week claiming that Netflix password sharing is illegal. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Tom_Lehrer_Puts_Whatever_He_Hadn’t_Already Donated_To_The_Public_Domain_Into_The_Public_Domain⠀⇛ As I said, much of this statement reflects what was on the site before, but now it covers the music as well as the lyrics.

Linux distros, representing 40% for both personal and professional use, which are recognized as being some of the most customizable and adaptive operating systems for developers. The 40% share is up from around one quarter in each of the previous five years, which shows a significant shift to Linux that may continue into 2023. # ⚓ Paul Thurrott ☛ Report:_More_Developers_Use_Linux_Than_a Mac⠀⇛ A new survey from Stack Overflow shows that significantly more developers use Linux than a Mac, though Windows maintains a huge lead over both. “Each year we explore the tools and technologies developers are currently using and what they want to use,” the vaunted developer resource explains in its 2022 StackOverflow developer survey. “We have the favorite Loved, Dreaded, and Wanted data as well as Worked With vs. Want to Work With, which shows us precisely what developers used in the past year and what they want to work on in the following year.” As for the platforms that developers use, Windows retains its lead, with 62.33 percent of respondents using Windows for personal use and 48.82 percent using it for work. Linux is number two, with 40 and 40 percent, respectively, while the Mac brings up the rear with 31 and 33 percent. Interestingly, Microsoft’s Windows Subsystem for Linux is in fourth place, with 15 and 14 percent usage, respectively, which indicates that the popularity—or necessity—of Linux with developers is even higher. For non-developer “synchronous tools,” Zoom and Microsoft Teams are tied for number one with 56 percent usage, followed by Slack (53.43 percent) and Google Chat (20 percent). As for “asynchronous tools,” Jira Work Management is in first place by a wide margin (50 percent), followed by Confluence (40 percent), Trello (33 percent), and Notion (20 percent). o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ Video ☛ YAY_(AUR_helper)_|_Install_and_Use_on_Arch_Linux_– Invidious⠀⇛ In this video, I cover how to Install and Use on yay in Arch Linux.

By default, the owner of a file or directory has full control over it, but it is also possible to grant or restrict access to other users or groups. If you want to change the permissions of multiple files or directories at once, you can use the `chmod` command with the `-R` option to recursively change the permissions. In this article, we will explore how to recursively change the file permissions in Linux. # ⚓ H2S Media ☛ How_to_change_priorities_of_x-www-browser_– update-alternatives⠀⇛ Update Alternatives is the command available on Linux to change the default program preference using the terminal. We can use it to create, remove, maintain, and display information about the symbolic links comprising the Debian alternatives system. Although, sometimes even after changing the app’s default value, still it not works. For example, you set Chrome as the default browser, and at the time of opening some link on the system, it selects firefox. It is because of the priority value set by the apps on our system. Here we learn the command to change the priority of applications using the Update Alternatives command. # ⚓ Learn Ubuntu ☛ Perform_a_Checksum_in_the_Ubuntu_Command Line⠀⇛ Want to check whether the downloaded file is corrupted or not? The easiest way is to verify its checksum. In simple terms, the checksum can be considered a digital fingerprint of a file made up of characters and numbers. You will find checksums while downloading files from the internet such as software packages, ISO files, etc. So let’s jump to the ‘how to’ part. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # ⚓ GSoC_22_–_The_Closing_Blog_Post⠀⇛ In the summer of 2022, I participated in Google’s Summer of Code, contributing to the Thunar file manager at XFCE, with the help of my mentor Alexander Schwinn. It’s been about a month since my GSoC term was officially over, and after a hectic couple weeks, I’ve finally decided to sit down and write down the closing blog post. [...] This is the big one. While adding support for undo and redo, one of the most crucial things for me was doing it in an elegant way that would make it easy to have multi-level undo and redo. How we decided to do this was to maintain a global linked list, containing information about the last performed operation, including what type of an operation it was, what files were involved in it, etc. This allowed it to be as trivial as moving a few pointers around to keep track of the state of the system once an undo or a redo is performed. The actual undo/redo operation is simply executing either the inverse of the last performed operation, or executing the exact same operation that was last undone. # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ GNOME_43.2_Officially_Released,_Brings Improvements_to_Screencast_UI,_Bluetooth,_and_More⠀⇛ GNOME 43.2 is packed with lots of changes to improve edge resistance and window snapping, window resize, window screenshots, screencast UI, as well as Night Light support, scrolling in clients with no high resolution scroll support in RDP sessions, Flatpak applications bypassing X11 permissions, and always visible cursor in virtual streams. It also improves support for Mali GPUs and newer Intel (i915) systems and enhances Wayland support by adding black padding to fixed-size full-screen windows, preventing Wayland popovers from blocking the Activities Overview, and fixing the Wayland keyboard to actually send pressed keys on enter. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Red Hat / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Debugging_binaries_invoked_from_scripts_with_GDB |_Red_Hat_Developer⠀⇛ Suppose you want to use GDB, the GNU debugger for C and C++ programs, to debug a program invoked from a shell script. You might have trouble knowing what is going on in the program because the script might give it a complicated run-time context, setting environment variables in various ways depending upon the machine, architecture, installed programs, etc. with which it’s being run. A good example of such a script is /usr/bin/ firefox. On my Fedora 35 machine, the firefox script is 290 lines long. It mostly sets a lot of environment variables, but it also contains commands to make directories, remove files and directories, and make symbolic links. All these changes can have impacts on the binary when it runs. Near the end of the script, a command invokes (via exec) another script named run-mozilla.sh. The run-mozilla.sh script itself is 356 lines long. It also sets environment variables and eventually invokes (also via exec) the Firefox binary. Additionally, the script provides options that allow you to debug the Firefox binary with a debugger, though for this article we won’t use those options. # ⚓ Enterprisers Project ☛ Digital_transformation:_3_tips_to overcome_common_challenges⠀⇛ Once upon a time, businesses took a measured, sometimes glacial, approach to rolling out new technology. But the pandemic flipped the script on digital transformation, accelerating digital transformation for nearly three-quarters of all businesses by months, if not years. And the speed of adoption increased across all aspects of an organization – from improving operations and new digital business models to delivering seamless customer experiences and adopting new workforce models. # ⚓ Enterprisers Project ☛ 5_data_science_articles_IT_leaders should_read_now_|_The_Enterprisers_Project⠀⇛ Data science as a practice continues to make its way into the spotlight. Digital transformation technologies such as artificial intelligence, automation, and edge computing are gaining adoption, and data science is powering them.

It is four years since the Debian Christmas lynchings of 2018. Two Debian Developers, Charles Plessy and I, observed the environment was so toxic that it could kill somebody else. One month later, Lucy Wayland passed away all too soon. Wayland was transgender. Some people knew her by her original name, Jon Ward and her IRC nickname aardvark. Transgender people don’t spontaneously die. There are a range of interconnected problems involving their environment. Debian was clearly part of Wayland’s environment. Earlier this year, I contributed several blog posts to the debate about the Frans Pop Debian.Day suicide. Later, I looked at the way the burden of 14,000 messages on debian-private may have been a factor in the mistakes made by an underage developer in 1998. There are significant similarities between the deaths of Ian Murdock, Frans Pop and Lucy Wayland. They were all male, in their mid-forties. They were all talented and hard-working people. Murdock and Wayland both consumed alcohol, there is no mention of whether alcohol was a factor or not for Pop. They were all single and complained about being alone. Of particular note, it looks like Murdock was alone at Christmas. Now it is time to look at the hard evidence showing Debian progressed from transgender threats to a transgender death in the space of less than one year and demonstrate the plausible links between Debian harassment culture and the high mortality rate of transgender people in general. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Liliputing ☛ Ubuntu_Touch_20.04_release_candidate_is_now available_for_select_smartphones_and_tablets_–_Liliputing⠀⇛ Canonical scrapped its plans to bring Ubuntu to smartphones and tablets years ago. But the independent developers at UBPorts have been keeping the dream alive since 2017. Now they’ve announced a release candidate of a new build of Ubuntu Touch that marks a major milestone: it’s the first version of the Linux-based operating system based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Unity_7.7_Desktop_Environment_Promises Redesigned_Dash_and_Panel,_Widgets⠀⇛ Ubuntu Unity maintainer Rudra Saraswat writes today about the new features and improvements coming to the Unity 7.7 desktop environment, which will be available next year as part of the Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster) release. In an attempt to bring back the “old-school UI concepts” from when Canonical was still developing the Unity desktop for Ubuntu, Unity 7.7 promises a redesigned Unity Dash that’s more in line with what Lomiri (the Unity8 fork used in the Ubuntu Touch mobile OS from UBports) currently offers, as well as a redesigned Unity Panel to be slightly bigger and more visually appealing than what you get in Unity 7.6. # ⚓ H2S Media ☛ 6_Best_Ubuntu_Linux_Alternatives_for_Beginners to_use_in_2023⠀⇛ It is not difficult for new users or those who are shifting from Windows 7 or 10 Operating systems to Linux distro when you have the right one. Thus, here we are with some best Ubuntu desktop alternatives Linux distros for beginners who want something similar to Canonical’s OS but better in terms of usage. No doubt, Ubuntu is one of the most popular and best Linux among new users because of easy-to-use commands, huge package repository, and online tutorials. However, if you don’t like its interface and want something much easier to use, thus you should look at the alternatives we are listing here. # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Canonical_Considering_IPO_in_2023:_What_It_Means for_Ubuntu_Users⠀⇛ 2023 is already here, and if this plan comes to fruition, it will impact Ubuntu’s focus and future development in some way. So, let’s analyze the likely ramifications. First, we need to answer the question: why does a company opt to go public? Whether a company is brand new or has been in operation for years, it may decide to go public via an IPO. However, in the mainstream case, companies seeking to expand often use an Initial Public Offering to generate funds via access to capital markets. So, the most significant benefit of an IPO is the additional funds raised. Furthermore, when a company moves to IPO, it sells shares to the public. I.e., it is a capital raise event. So, it is much easier to raise money once publicly traded. Also easier to attract employees by paying higher salaries with out-of-thin-air- newly-issued shares when public. In other words, ideally, an IPO would allow Canonical to raise funds through the sale of company shares, potentially leading to more money and human capital being invested in the development of Ubuntu. However, on the other hand, switching to the IPO model always involves changes in the company’s vision and direction. In this regard, it is also essential to consider how this move could affect the open-source nature of Ubuntu and the community- driven development model. So let’s see how this affects the average Ubuntu user. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ SONOFF_ZBMINI_Extreme_tiny_Zigbee_smart switch_does_not_require_a_neutral_wire_–_CNX_Software⠀⇛ SONOFF ZBMINI Extreme (aka ZBMINI-L2) is an ultra- compact Zigbee smart switch that can control home appliances and lights without a neutral wire and can fit into almost any mounting box.

Read our wrapup and watch the first in a series of videos we are releasing in the coming days. In our sixteenth annual International Day Against DRM (IDAD), we stood up for the freedom to share cultural works, continuing our fight against Digital Restrictions Management (DRM). Each year, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) rallies anti-DRM advocates from all over the world for a day of action against digital restriction. This year was no exception, building on the recent efforts we’ve made in our year-end fundraiser to draw attention to something vitally important for the free software movement and cultural endeavors alike: the freedom to share. In addition to our call to use DRM-free media as a springboard for starting a conversation about DRM with a friend or loved ones, we took to the streets of Boston to interview passersby on how they felt about digital sharing. At first, it seemed like a strange request to our interviewees, but its supposed “strangeness” highlights the success corporations like Disney and Netflix have had on the public consciousness. Just what does make a digital file so different that we’re barred from sharing it with a friend in person, or passing it down the family line like our favorite books? The results that we received were interesting to say the least, and we’ll have more to say about them in the future. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ At_17000_curl_commits_|_daniel.haxx.se⠀⇛ Today, another 1,000 commits have been recorded as done by me in the curl source code git repository since November 2021. Out of a total of 29,608 commits to the curl source code repository, I have made 17,001. 57.42%. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Jean-François Fortin Tam ☛ The_post-lockdown_work_rave,_abuse, and_shortened_fuses_–_The_Open_Sourcerer⠀⇛ Around the same time, I was also trying to support two good friends who were undergoing nervous breakdown due to criminal harassment and who, in late summer, were in deep distress. Now, if you’ve paid attention to my last few years’ retrospectives so far, you know I’ve had my share of dead friends in the past, so no, not this time, not on my watch. I told my clients about my reduced availability during that time, and focused on helping those friends—from mere emotional and logistical support (“I have extra capacity. Use it.”, I said) to “last minute evac to the airport”, as they had to exile themselves for their own safety (because this is the harassment they’ve been going through). They have now left the country forever. It pains me that I won’t be able to see them around much anymore, but if that’s what it takes for them to stay alive, so be it. It started out as a dark, life-threatening situation, and they are now safe and sound, albeit an ocean apart. I guess that’s a reasonable outcome. o ⚓ Chris_Lamb:_Favourite_books_of_2022:_Fiction⠀⇛ Here begins my yearly roundups of the favourite books and movies that I consumed in 2022, to be published over the next few days. Just as I did for 2020 and 2021, I won’t actually reveal exactly how many books I read in the last year. I didn’t get through as many books as I did in 2021, however, but that’s partly due to reading a significant number of long nineteenth-century novels — in particular, those books that American writer Henry James once referred to as “large, loose, baggy monsters”… However, in today’s post I’ll be looking at my favourite books typically filed under fiction, with ‘classic’ fiction following tomorrow. Works that just missed the cut here include John O’Brien’s Leaving Las Vegas, Colson Whitehead’s Sag Harbor and possibly The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, or Elif Batuman’s The Idiot. I also feel obliged to mention (or is that show off?) that I finally read the 1,079-page Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace this year, but I can’t say it was a favourite, let alone recommend others give it a try unless they are in the market for a sturdy under-monitor stand. o ⚓ Steve Kemp ☛ Steve_Kemp:_A_summary_of_the_year.⠀⇛ This year had a lot of things happen in it, world-wide, as is always the case. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Qt ☛ Commercial_LTS_Qt_5.15.12_Released [Ed: Proprietary is what they mean, not "Commercial"]⠀⇛ We have released Qt 5.15.12 LTS for commercial license holders today. As a patch release, Qt 5.15.12 does not add any new functionality but provides bug fixes and other improvements. o § Pseudo-Open Source⠀➾ # § Openwashing⠀➾ # ⚓ Engadget ☛ Google_is_making_its_internal_video- blurring_privacy_tool_open_source_|_Engadget [Ed: Openwashing stunt by mass surveillance company. Of course Google is also outsourcing this code to proprietary prison of Microsoft.]⠀⇛ Google has announced that two of its latest privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs), including one that blurs objects in a video, will be provided to anyone for free via open source. The new tools are part of Google’s Protected Computing initiative designed to transform “how, when and where data is processed to technically ensure its privacy and safety,” the company said. The first is an internal project called Magritte, now out on Github, which uses machine learning to detect objects and apply a blur as soon as they appear on screen. It can disguise arbitrary objects like license plates, tattoos and more. “This code is especially useful for video journalists who want to provide increased privacy assurances,” Google wrote in the blog. “By using this open-source code, videographers can save time in blurring objects from a video, while knowing that the underlying ML algorithm can perform detection across a video with high-accuracy.” # ⚓ FOSSLife ☛ Google_Open_Sources_Magritte_Image- Blurring_Tool⠀⇛ The second tool lets developers “perform computations on encrypted data without being able to access personally identifiable information,” Dent says. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Associated Press ☛ Albanian_IT_staff_charged_with negligence_over_cyberattack⠀⇛ Albanian prosecutors on Wednesday asked for the house arrest of five public employees they blame for not protecting the country from a cyberattack by alleged Iranian hackers. Prosecutors said the five IT officials of the public administration department had failed to check the security of the system and update it with the most recent antivirus software. They are accused of “abuse of post,” which can attract a prison sentence of up to seven years. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Arresting_IT_Administrators_–_Schneier_on Security⠀⇛ The next step would be to arrest managers at software companies for not releasing patches fast enough. And maybe programmers for writing buggy code. I don’t know where this line of thinking ends… # ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Tuesday_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by Debian (gerbv), Fedora (webkitgtk), and SUSE (ca- certificates-mozilla, freeradius-server, multimon- ng, vim, and vlc). # ⚓ FOSSLife ☛ LastPass_Breach:_Change_Passwords_Now⠀⇛ The LastPass password manager has been breached by hackers, meaning your master passwords could be for sale, reports David Rutland. The true severity of the breach, which was first reported in August, was detailed in a December 22 blog post from LastPass. “Personal details and password vaults containing the sign-in credentials of millions of users are now in the hands of criminals. If you’ve ever used the password manager, LastPass, you should change all of your passwords for everything, now,” Rutland says. # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ If_You’ve_Ever_Used_LastPass,_You_Should Change_All_Your_Passwords_Now⠀⇛ Personal details and password vaults containing the sign-in credentials of millions of users are now in the hands of criminals. If you’ve ever used the password manager, LastPass, you should change all of your passwords for everything, now. And you should immediately take further measures to protect yourself. # ⚓ Linux Magazine ☛ Critical_Linux_Vulnerability_Found_to Impact_SMB_Servers_–_Linux_Magazine⠀⇛ A Linux vulnerability with a CVSS score of 10 has been found to affect SMB servers and can lead to remote code execution. A new flaw has been discovered in the processing of SMB2_TREE_DISCONNECT commands which can lead to remote code execution in servers with ksmbd enabled. KSMBD is an in-kernel SMB file server that was mostly written by a team at Samsung Electronics that was merged into the 5.15 kernel on August 29, 2021. This kernel server implements the SMB3 protocol in kernel space for the sharing of files over a network. According to the Zero Day Initiative, “The specific flaw exists within the processing of SMB2_TREE_DISCONNECT commands. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the kernel.” # ⚓ Neowin ☛ 2022_sees_over_5000_times_new_Windows_malware_vs macOS,_over_60_times_vs_Linux_–_Neowin⠀⇛ As the year comes to a close, AV-TEST, one of the major anti-malware solutions assessment firms, alongside AV-Comparatives, has shared some interesting statistics regarding malware growth in 2022. The data shows there were close to 70 million new malware samples on Windows, which dwarfs that on macOS, which only saw around 12,000 samples. Hence, the number of malicious files on Windows is over 5,000 times compared to that on mac. The comparison with Linux is far more favorable for Windows as close to 2 million samples were captured on Linux. However, the Windows numbers are still more than 60 times higher. o § Environment⠀➾ # § Energy⠀➾ # ⚓ The Wall Street Journal ☛ The_Christmas_Electric_Grid Emergency⠀⇛ As temperatures plunged this weekend, Americans in much of the country were told to turn down their thermostats and avoid using large appliances to prevent rolling blackouts. The cascading grid stress came at an awful time but was all too predictable to anyone paying attention. The interconnected U.S. grid is supposed to be a source of resilience, but the government’s force-fed green energy transition is creating systemic vulnerabilities that politicians don’t want to acknowledge. Utilities and grid operators weren’t prepared for the surge in demand for natural gas and electricity to heat homes, which occurred as gas supply shortages and icy temperatures forced many power plants off-line. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # § Software Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Video ☛ More_Linux_Distros_Break_H264_GPU Acceleration_–_Invidious⠀⇛ After Fedora and OpenSuse decided to break there MESA packages I thought we were done talking about this whole patent encumbered codec situation with h264, h265 and vc1, oh how wrong I was. Steam OS 3 and Manjaro are back to make me worried once again * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Is_harn_fast_enough?⠀⇛ I became a bit concerned that my relocation/ garbage-collection speed might make the system sluggish. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

A great Linux experience with Openbox and XFCE/LXDE components. It makes using Linux flawless and completely effortless. Take a look and let me know what you think in the comments below. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ The_Best_Virtual_Machine_for_Linux:_KVM_vs. VirtualBox_vs._QEMU_vs._Hyper-V⠀⇛ QEMU, KVM, VirtualBox, and Hyper-V are virtualization technologies that allow you to run multiple operating systems on a single physical machine. While they all serve a similar purpose, there are some key differences between these technologies that are worth noting. Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) is an open- source virtualization solution built into the Linux kernel. It allows you to create and run virtual machines on a Linux host system using hardware acceleration, providing high performance and low overhead. KVM is often used in production environments due to its stability and reliability. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ ZDNet ☛ What_is_cron_and_how_do_you_use_it?_|_ZDNET⠀⇛ Linux is one of the most flexible operating systems on the planet. There is very little you can’t do with Linux… even automate tasks using a simple command line tool. The tool in question is called cron and it allows you to schedule jobs for the Linux operating system. # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ How_to_Change_the_Default_sudo_Password Timeout_on_Linux⠀⇛ When you run the sudo command in Linux, it remembers the password for 15 minutes by default, determined by the timestamp_timeout variable in the /etc/sudoers file. So during this time, you can run any other sudo command without providing the password. It prompts for a password again after 15 minutes of sudo inactivity. However, you can tweak the default timeout period and make it longer or shorter according to your preferences. You can also configure it in a way that it always asks for a password or ask for it once per terminal session or system boot. Here’s how you can do this. # ⚓ Video ☛ How_to_install_Moshi_Moshi_Rewritten_Desktop_on_KDE Neon_–_Invidious⠀⇛ In this video, we are looking at how to install Moshi Moshi Rewritten Desktop on KDE Neon. Enjoy! # ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_UrBackup_on_Debian_11_–_idroot⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install UrBackup on Debian 11. For those of you who didn’t know, UrBackup is a free and open-source network backup and disaster recovery software. It is designed to back up and restore files, folders, and entire systems. urBackup also provides a web administration interface, which makes it users easier to set up and configure. urBackup available on Linux, Windows, macOS, and BSD. 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 UrBackup on a Debian 11 (Bullseye). # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ How_to_install_Gacha_Life_on_a Chromebook⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install UrBackup on Debian 11 (Bullseye), as well as some extra requirements for UrBackup # ⚓ ZDNet ☛ What_are_hidden_files_in_Linux_and_how_do_you create_them?_|_ZDNET⠀⇛ Linux is a very powerful operating system. Although having that much power at your fingertips might give you the impression that Linux is quite challenging, modern Linux distributions go a long way to proving that assumption wrong. Take, for instance, the hidden file, which is a file that is not visible by default. The file is still there, unencrypted for anyone to view, so long as you know where it is and how to view it. That brings up an important point. Hidden files are not password-protected, so anyone can view the contents of the file, so long as they know how. Because of that, you should not keep sensitive information (such as bank accounts and passwords) in these files. Although you’re tucking those files away from the casual viewer, any user with even the slightest bit of Linux experience will be able to view those files. # ⚓ UNIX Cop ☛ Mount_Windows_Folders_from_Linux⠀⇛ In this post, you will learn how to mount Windows shared folders on Linux. You will be surprised how easy it is. Let’s get started. One of the most common situations we face in a network is file sharing. Although many sysadmins may not like it, it is often the fastest way to share information within the organization. Previously, we have explained how to install and configure a Samba server which is an important method for this purpose, but being a server, it requires a central Linux machine. How to do it the other way around? That is to say that it is Windows that shares the folder, you will see. o § WINE or Emulation⠀➾ # ⚓ Wine_Reviews_:_vkd3d-proton_version_2.8_has_been_released⠀⇛ VKD3D-Proton is a fork of VKD3D, which aims to implement the full Direct3D 12 API on top of Vulkan. The project serves as the development effort for Direct3D 12 support in Proton. This release rolls up some significant new developments before the holidays. [...] The entire API feature was rewritten from scratch to support more implementations and edge cases without a lot of per-application hacks and workarounds. As the most extreme example of weird API usage, Guardians of the Galaxy should (finally) run well on NVIDIA. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ Steinar H Gunderson ☛ Steinar_H._Gunderson:_The_ultimate single-page_app⠀⇛ I run a chess analysis site as a hobby. It’s not a big thing (usually ~1k simultaneous viewers when it’s broadcasting, peak at ~27k during the London WCC), and the surface functionality is also pretty basic: It’s a single-page app picking up a JSON (updated via long-poll) from a backend containing a chess position and computer analysis, and then presents it to the viewer. I won’t go into detail for why this isn’t as simple as it seems, but there’s one thing I’ve always prided myself in: Making it not eat too much of people’s data caps. (It’s one of the few sites in its class that actually works pretty well on mobile, without requiring an app.) The JSON updates have been pretty meticulously pared down over time, to the point where it’s 1–2 kB/sec once you’re going, so even watching for extended periods of time should be quite cheap. The initial load wasn’t so bad either; you need some HTML, some CSS, a bit of JavaScript, PNGs for the chess pieces and so on… totaling about 109 kB of downloads (308 kB after un-gzip), in 18 HTTP requests. It’s not tiny, but it’s smaller than most. In October, I was starting to get annoyed that the PNGs were a bit pixelated on 4K screens, so I swapped them out with SVGs. (Both came from Wikipedia’s chess piece set, which has been tweaked over time, so I picked out some older ones that looked the most similar.) And in the process, I noticed that they were actually smaller; could I perhaps reduce the initial code download size a bit? (Of course, I know that this isn’t the same as the site being fast; for one, I don’t use a CDN for serving, so network latency will matter strongly, and there’s a bunch of JavaScript stuff happening.) o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ GNOME ☛ That_was_2022_–_Sophie’s_Blog⠀⇛ Released Pika Backup 0.4 with scheduled backups and GTK 4 & libadwaita Started working on a “Welcome To GNOME” website Refactored apps.gnome.org to share a lot of code with “Welcome to GNOME” Reviewed some apps for GNOME Circle and made announcements for new apps that joined * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ Bryan Lunduke ☛ Haiku_Beta_4_—_The_Definitive_Review_–_by Bryan_Lunduke⠀⇛ A lot has happened for the Haiku Operating System over the last year or two. What originally started as an open source “clone” of BeOS, really came into its own back in August of 2021 as they hired their first full time developer. Now, on December 23rd of 2022, Haiku Release 1 Beta 4 has been officially released. # ⚓ Distribution_Release:_Zephix_6⠀⇛ 2022-12-26: Zephix v6 (Zephix-6R-20221226-x86_64) was released. Fixed uEFI issue of not booting on specific systems and on latest VirtualBox; Updated base to Debian 11.6 adding corrections for security issues, along with a few adjustments for serious problems; Optimised the toram boot option mechanism – to boot Zephix totally in memory, it now requires 1.5GB RAM (core, firmware and desktop modules) or 512MB RAM (core module only); Updated module creation and manipulation scripts making it much easier to create new modules without having to reboot the ISO after creating a single module and also reducing the size of each module accordingly (refer to the Customise section for more details); Updated desktop and firmware modules; Optimised boot sequence code for a cleaner and smoother boot process; Added a new feature in Zephix – on boot it searches available media for modules inside a zx directory in the root of the media itself and, if found, Zephix mounts them automatically. This feature removes the need to modify the ISO to include additional custom modules; Added a new boot option called maintenance mode – Zephix will boot in single user mode and, after entering the root password, the user can do some changes before actually continue booting the system. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Kubernetes Blog ☛ Kubernetes_v1.26:_CPUManager_goes_GA_| Kubernetes⠀⇛ The CPU Manager is a part of the kubelet, the Kubernetes node agent, which enables the user to allocate exclusive CPUs to containers. Since Kubernetes v1.10, where it graduated to Beta, the CPU Manager proved itself reliable and fulfilled its role of allocating exclusive CPUs to containers, so adoption has steadily grown making it a staple component of performance-critical and low-latency setups. # ⚓ Bryan Lunduke ☛ [Satire]_BREAKING:_Red_Hat_CEO_admits_he “has_no_idea_what_Kubernetes_is”⠀⇛ In an exclusive interview with The Lunduke Journal, Red Hat CEO, Matt Hicks, admitted that he has “no idea what Kubernetes is” and that he thinks it “has something to do with containers or boxes or something.” “I asked our CTO to explain Kubernetes to me,” stated Hicks. “He said we don’t call it Kubernetes anymore. We call it K8s. So. You know. That cleared that up.” To better understand how the CEO of a company which offers Kubernetes solutions could not understand what it is, The Lunduke Journal reached out to the leadership of another company in the Kubernetes industry: Mark Shuttleworth, the CEO of Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu Linux. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux On Mobile ☛ LINMOB.net_–_Weekly_GNU-like_Mobile_Linux Update_(51/2022):_The_last_one_to_be_published_in_2022⠀⇛ Ubuntu Touch 20.04 beta is the elephant in the room, but there’s more! # ⚓ Merry_Christmas_from_UBports_|_UBports_Forum⠀⇛ We have some very special news! Ubuntu Touch 20.04 Focal Fossa now has a beta Release Candidate update channel. To give it a trry, use the UBports Installer… or if you’re already using 20.04 Devel, change channels as normal. # ⚓ Ubuntu Fridge ☛ The_Fridge:_Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue 767⠀⇛ # ⚓ Ubuntu News ☛ Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue_767⠀⇛ Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 767 for the week of December 18 – 24, 2022. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Lichee_Pi_4A_RISC-V_SBC_takes_on_Raspberry Pi_4_with_TH1520_processor_–_CNX_Software⠀⇛ Lichee Pi 4A is a single board computer (SBC) powered by Alibaba T-Head TH1520 quad-core RISC- V Xuantie C910 processor @ 1.8 GHz with an Imagination GPU and a 4 TOPS NPU for AI that can compete against the Raspberry Pi 4 in terms of performance and features. We previously mentioned the Lichee Pi 4A (LPi4A) in our article about the Sipeed LM4A RISC-V system-on- module, but at the time we only had some benchmarks for the board and no photos and specifications about the SBC. Sipeed has now released photos and more detailed specifications and is taking “pre- orders”. So let’s have a look. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ India ☛ Oppo_Phones_Will_Get_Four_Android_Updates_From_Next Year,_Do_Older_Models_Count?⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Sun ☛ All_parents_urged_to_check_Android_phones_right now_–_don’t_take_the_risk_|_The_US_Sun⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_to_cast_your_Android_screen_to_a_TV_|_Fox_News⠀⇛ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ How_To_Open_The_SIM_Card_Slot_On_Your_Android Phone_Without_The_Ejector_Tool⠀⇛ # ⚓ Ghacks ☛ How_to_save_webpages_as_PDF_in_Firefox_for Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ Notebook Check ☛ RedMagic_8_Pro_and_Pro_Plus_launch_as “evolved”_flagship_Android_smartphones_–_NotebookCheck.net News⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ Medevel ☛ To_Don’t:_Helps_You_Quit_Bad_Habits⠀⇛ The app is released as an open-source under the Apache 2.0 License. o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Bryan Lunduke ☛ Firefox_Money:_Investigating_the bizarre_finances_of_Mozilla⠀⇛ The Lunduke Journal spent some time with Mozilla’s financial disclosures and came away with some wild observations — bizarre expenditures (including to companies that don’t even seem to exist) and political organizations with no relationship to Mozilla’s core business. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ C++_Cmath_Library⠀⇛ To make Mathematical problems stress-free for the programmer, C++ offers a library that contains all the functionalities we use in our routine to solve mathematical problems. The ‘cmath’ library contains logarithmic, exponential, hyperbolic, power, trigonometric, and many more. # ⚓ Create_Texts_with_a_Markov_Chain_Text_Generator…_and_what this_has_to_do_with_ChatGPT!_–_Learning_Machines⠀⇛ I will share a secret with you: at the core of the latest craze, Large Language Models (LLMs), like GPT3, its brother ChatGPT, from OpenAI or PaLM from Google, lies a (sophisticated) function for predicting the next best word, phrase or sentence based on statistics! You will say, no way!?! First, try an experiment with your smartphone: start some messenger or social media app and begin typing. Then tap on the suggested word in the middle above your keyboard on the display. Continue tapping and see how a sentence forms. This sentence is also based on statistics which word normally follows which other word, probably refined by your using your phone. Not impressed yet, then consider the following simple algorithm, called a Markov chain algorithm. We won’t go into the mathematical details of why it is called that but just take it as a simple way to create texts based on simple statistics. # ⚓ What_is_survival_analysis?_Examples_by_hand_and_in_R_– Stats_and_R⠀⇛ For the last post of the year, I would like to present a rather unknown (yet important) statistical method–survival analysis. Although survival analysis is a branch of statistics, it is usually not covered in introductory statistics courses and it is rather unknown to the general public. It is mostly taught in biostatistics courses or advanced statistics study programs. In this article, I will explain what is survival analysis, in which context and how it is used. I will explain the main tools and methods used by biostatisticians to analyze survival data and how to estimate and interpret survival curves. # ⚓ Computing_Win-Probability_of_T20_matches_–_Giga_thoughts⠀⇛ I am late to the ‘Win probability’ computation for T20 matches, but managed to jump on to this bus with this post. Win Probability analysis and computation have been around for some time and are used in baseball, NFL, soccer hockey and others. On T20 cricket, the following posts from White Ball Analytics & Sports Data Science were good pointers to the general approach. The data for the Win Probability computation is taken from Cricsheet. # ⚓ Any_Time_At_All:_tweet_frequency_around_the_clock_– quantixed⠀⇛ Please consider this a “supplementary analysis” to my previous post looking at the frequency of tweets from my personal account over the last 12 years. I was curious about what times I was active on Twitter (measured by when I tweeted). Others might be interested in a solution to look at this in R. # ⚓ Twitcher_II:_tweet_frequency_and_top_tweets_–_quantixed⠀⇛ To generate these plots, it was a case of loading in the data (as described previously). I am analysing data from @clathrin and not from my quantixed Twitter account. # ⚓ AAAS ☛ AI_learns_to_write_computer_code_in_‘stunning’ advance_|_Science_|_AAAS⠀⇛ A new artificial intelligence (AI) system called AlphaCode is bringing humanity one step closer to that vision, according to a new study. Researchers say the system—from the research lab DeepMind, a subsidiary of Alphabet (Google’s parent company)—might one day assist experienced coders, but probably cannot replace them. “It’s very impressive, the performance they’re able to achieve on some pretty challenging problems,” says Armando Solar-Lezama, head of the computer assisted programming group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. # ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ 5_Upcoming_Code_Editors_that_May_Challenge_the Supremacy_of_Visual_Studio_Code [Ed: Loaded and misleading headline. Microsoft's proprietary spyware has no "supremacy", just hype from the likes of Sourav Rudra, a Microsoft apologist and habitual booster. Number 1 and 2 in this list are also Microsoft (or Microsoft-controlled forks), so a site called "It's FOSS" basically promotes several Microsoft things as 'alternatives' to Microsoft. Ankush Das and Abishek need to give Sourav Rudra the boot already.]⠀⇛ # § Perl / Raku⠀➾ # ⚓ Rakulang ☛ 2022.52_Antonovmas_–_Rakudo_Weekly_News⠀⇛ Anton Antonov was on a roll this week. Videos, blogs, and fun with Raku in these festive times. [...] A very quiet week, apart from the many blog posts, videos, new and updated modules :-). The nights are getting shorter again. Good news for many people in Ukraine who have no heating or water or electricity, and who are still fighting the Russian aggression. # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ Python:_Append_to_File_–_TecAdmin⠀⇛ In Python, you can use the open() function to open a file in append mode, which allows you to add new content to the end of an existing file. Appending to a file is useful when you want to add additional information to a file without modifying or deleting the file’s original content. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ Python:_Write_to_File_–_TecAdmin⠀⇛ Writing to a file in Python is a common operation that allows you to store data in a file for later use. Whether you are working with a simple text file or a more complex binary file, Python provides a number of ways to write data to a file. # § Shell⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Creating_Bash_Infinite_Loop_by_Example Scripts⠀⇛ Every loop has a finite lifespan and depending on the loop, it ends when the condition is either true or false. The bash infinite loop is simply a series of instructions that loops indefinitely. It has no ending condition, a condition that is never met, or a condition that stimulates a new iteration of the loop. The bash infinite loop can be created with the for, while, and until loops. With just a little modification to the infinite loop conventional syntax, we can implement the bash infinite loop scripts. Here, we are required to create a loop that executes the commands continuously until it is forcibly stopped from outside the program. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ A_Shell_Script_to_Check_Disk_Space_and Send_Alert_–_TecAdmin⠀⇛ It is important to monitor the disk space on a Linux server to ensure that there is enough free space available for new files and applications. If the disk becomes full, it can cause issues such as system crashes, data loss, and other problems. To prevent these issues, you can use a shell script to monitor the disk space and send an alert when the available space falls below a certain threshold. In this article, we will walk through the process of creating a shell script that monitors the disk space and sends an alert when the available space falls below a certain threshold. We will use the df command to check the available disk space and the mail command to send the alert. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ So,_this_is_Christmas?_–_Terence_Eden’s_Blog⠀⇛ The Church of England publishes statistics about the numbers of its faithful. These are particularly interesting in light of the recent news that the UK no- longer has a Christian majority. The CofE’s statistics are for 2019 – before COVID messed up everything – and I think offer a fascinating glimpse into its future. [....] The good news is fewer funerals. The bad news is fewer baptisms. In the intervening 5 years, the Church went from losing 16,000 members per year to now losing 25,000 members per year. Now, not everyone who enters the Church does so via baptism. And not all of those that do will become a worshipper. Similarly, not every CofE funeral is conducted on behalf of a worshipper, and not every worshipper will want a religious funeral. But those are the numbers we have to work with. So let’s take them as gospel. So how many people does the CofE count as worshippers? There are many ways to count that. o ⚓ Chris Hannah ☛ My_Writing_Cycle⠀⇛ I think a lot of internet writers go through a stage where they focus more on refining their workflow than they do than actually writing. What I’ve noticed is that for me, this can be represented as a sine wave. In that I go through phases of really wanting to nail a perfect workflow for every situation, then periods of time where I just don’t care about how I write, I just get on with putting words somewhere and then publishing it to my blog. Right now, I’m at a stage where I feel like I can write a blog post in any application that can handle plain text. In the past few weeks, that’s mainly been Obsidian, but I’ve also used TextEdit recently, and even the Ghost web interface for my blog. o ⚓ Russell Graves ☛ New_Years_Resolutions_2023:_Radical_reduction_in consumer_tech_use⠀⇛ Well, 2022 is coming to an end, and (rather ahead of schedule for me), that means I’m putting together some new years resolutions. This year, they’re a bit more interesting than the usual, because they consist largely of, “To the extent that I am reasonably able, opt out of consumer tech culture.” That includes a range of things, and I’ll go over them here, with the goal that at least some people might be inspired to join me in tilting at these particular windmills, and reducing some of the data collected, aggregated, and used against them in 2023. [...] For a while now, I’ve generally tried to restrict my internet use during Lent – it’s been a good time to back off, take some time, and just pull the crap out. Coming back, I tend to use the internet less, having separated from the draw of the various forums and social media-ish things (what little shadow of that I use) – but I’ve found that, with time, my use starts creeping back up to where it was before. I’ll respond to a forum thread, check back in more frequently for updates, and after a few months of that cycle, I’m back to something resembling a regular posting schedule. Unfortunately, the change isn’t lasting – and I’ve tried this experiment enough that I know the pattern I’ll slip back into. It’s less than it used to be, but… still. I don’t like that. So, at this point in time, after quite a bit of evaluation, I’ve decided that I simply need to stop engaging so much – I want to “put the internet back in a box,” which I’ll discuss in more detail a bit later. o ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ Book_Review:_Reality_Is_Broken_–_Why_Games_Make_Us Better_and_How_They_Can_Change_the_World_by_Jane_McGonigal_– Terence_Eden’s_Blog⠀⇛ I have never felt less like a human being than while reading this book. I don’t mind video-games, I find them mildly diverting. I’ve never gotten in to massively multiplayer online games (unless you count Twitter). I just don’t see what’s appealing about them. Why would I want a bunch of teenagers screaming racial slurs at me when I’m trying to relax? [...] A new religion. Humans seem hardwired to want to take part in epic stories. To feel like we’re part of history. That our names will be sung about in the future. That we will be heroic. Well… some humans. Some of us want to try the occasional novel experience, pretend to be a superhero for a few minutes, and experience an artificially generated dopamine bump. This is a good book. But I am the wrong audience for it. It explains a part of the world that I just don’t see and – if I’m honest – distrust. I would love to live in a world where we could harness gaming for good. But I fear the consequences of misdirecting that energy. o ⚓ MWL ☛ The_complete_Montague_Portal_on_sale_for_$5.85_at_Amazon_– Michael_W_Lucas⠀⇛ Seriously. You can cost Amazon money by buying one of my books. o ⚓ Barry Hess ☛ Silly_Customer_Service_::_Barry_Hess_::_bjhess.com⠀⇛ If you follow me on socials, you might know that I’m working on an idea for making a page online that shows the various things one consumes over time. The starting point is using a Stable Internet Technology™ called RSS to provide the feed of data. Services like Album Whale, Letterboxd, and Goodreads all offer an RSS feed because it provides a way for people to track various web things on their own time using services like Feedly or Feedbin. RSS is a bit of an old timer in web world. It was the pipeline for keeping up with things in the 2000s, but has fallen out of fashion with the rise of walled gardens like Twitter and Facebook. In case you haven’t noticed, there is a not-insignificant amount of pushback against these megacorps. While I don’t think they’re going to crash and burn, it does appear that in the future there will be a large share of the market that prefers to tend their online gardens with classic, open technologies. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ A_huge_satellite_just_launched_–_astronomers_are_worried⠀⇛ Called BlueWalker 3, it’s a prototype by American company AST SpaceMobile, which is to create a space-based mobile broadband network. This is only one of multiple satellites planned for the SpaceMobile constellation – some even bigger than BlueWalker 3. “The reason why our satellite is large is because in order to communicate with a low-power, low internal strength phone, you just need a large antenna on one side with a lot of power, and so that’s a critical part of our infrastructure,” AST SpaceMobile Chief Strategy Officer Scott Wisniewski told Space.com. “We think that’s really important for communicating directly with regular handsets, with no change to the handset, with no extra burdens on the user.” # ⚓ NIST ☛ NIST_Drafts_Revised_Guidelines_for_Digital Identification_in_Federal_Systems_|_NIST⠀⇛ The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has drafted updated guidelines to help the nation combat fraud and cybercrime while fostering equity and preserving fundamental human rights. The guidelines support risk-informed management of people’s personas online — their “digital identities” — often required to engage in everyday digital transactions from banking to ordering groceries. “These guidelines are intended to help organizations manage risks related to digital identity and get the right services to the right people while preventing fraud, preserving privacy, fostering equity and delivering high-quality, usable services to all,” said Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and NIST Director Laurie E. Locascio. “We are actively seeking feedback not only from technical specialists, but also from advocacy and community engagement groups that have insight into the potential impacts these technologies can have on members of underserved communities and marginalized groups.” # ⚓ New_Process_Allows_3-D_Printing_of_Microscale_Metallic Parts_|_www.caltech.edu⠀⇛ Engineers at Caltech have developed a method for 3- D printing pure and multicomponent metals, at a resolution that is, in some cases, an order of magnitude smaller than previously possible. The process, which uses water-based chemistry and 3- D printing, was described in a paper published in Nature on October 20. # ⚓ Scientists_Apply_a_Novel_Machine_Learning_Method_to_Help Diagnose_Deadly_Respiratory_Illness⠀⇛ An international team of scientists led by UC San Diego electrical and computer engineering professor Pengtao Xie has developed a new algorithm that shows promise in improving the detection of pneumonia from chest x-rays. The new approach includes a two-way confirmation system that could be used as a way to complement the work and expertise of physicians in ways that minimize both human and computer error. # ⚓ Sabine Hossenfelder ☛ The_Other_Side_Of_Physics_ (TEDxNewcastle)⠀⇛ # ⚓ Sabine Hossenfelder ☛ How_Chaos_Control_is_Changing_The World⠀⇛ # ⚓ Sabine Hossenfelder ☛ How_Does_Quantum_Uncertainty_Work?⠀⇛ # ⚓ IEEE ☛ New_AI_Speeds_Computer_Graphics_by_Up_to_5x⠀⇛ On 20 September, Nvidia’s vice president of applied deep learning, Bryan Catanzaro, went to Twitter with a bold claim: In certain GPU-heavy games, like the classic first-person platformer Portal, seven out of eight pixels on the screen are generated by a new machine-learning algorithm. That’s enough, he said, to accelerate rendering by up to 5 times. This impressive feat is currently limited to a few dozen 3D games, but it’s a hint at the gains that neural rendering will soon deliver. The technique will unlock new potential in everyday consumer electronics. # ⚓ The_Generative_AI_Revolution_in_Games⠀⇛ What’s transformative about this work is not just that it saves time and money while also delivering quality – thus smashing the classic “you can only have two of cost, quality, or speed” triangle. Artists are now creating high-quality images in a matter of hours that would otherwise take weeks to generate by hand. # ⚓ Engadget ☛ An_algorithm_can_use_WiFi_signal_changes_to_help identify_breathing_issues⠀⇛ National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) researchers have developed a way to monitor breathing based on tiny changes in WiFi signals. They say their BreatheSmart deep-learning algorithm could help detect if someone in the household is having breathing issues. WiFi signals are almost ubiquitous. They bounce off of and pass through surfaces as they try to link devices with routers. But any movement will alter the signal’s path, including how the body moves as we breathe, which can change if we have any issues. For instance, your chest will move differently if you’re coughing. Other researchers have explored the use of WiFi signals to detect people and movements, but their approaches required dedicated sensing devices and their studies provided limited data. A few years ago, a company called Origin Wireless developed an algorithm that works with a WiFi mesh network. Similarly, NIST says BreatheSmart works with routers and devices that are already available on the market. It only requires a single router and connected device. # ⚓ Flying_Snakes_Help_Scientists_Design_New_Robots_–_AIP Publishing_LLC⠀⇛ Robots have been designed to move in ways that mimic animal movements, such as walking and swimming. Scientists are now considering how to design robots that mimic the gliding motion exhibited by flying snakes. In Physics of Fluids, by AIP Publishing, researchers from the University of Virginia and Virginia Tech explored the lift production mechanism of flying snakes, which undulate side-to- side as they move from the tops of trees to the ground to escape predators or to move around quickly and efficiently. The undulation allows snakes to glide for long distances, as much as 25 meters from a 15-meter tower. # ⚓ TechXplore ☛ Engineers_improve_electrochemical_sensing_by incorporating_machine_learning⠀⇛ Combining machine learning with multimodal electrochemical sensing can significantly improve the analytical performance of biosensors, according to new findings from a Penn State research team. These improvements may benefit noninvasive health monitoring, such as testing that involves saliva or sweat. The findings were published this month in Analytica Chimica Acta. # ⚓ IEEE ☛ Robot_Learns_Human_Trick_for_Not_Falling_Over_–_IEEE Spectrum⠀⇛ Humanoid robots are a lot more capable than they used to be, but for most of them, falling over is still borderline catastrophic. Understandably, the focus has been on getting humanoid robots to succeed at things as opposed to getting robots to tolerate (or recover from) failing at things, but sometimes, failure is inevitable because stuff happens that’s outside your control. Earthquakes, accidentally clumsy grad students, tornadoes, deliberately malicious grad students—the list goes on. When humans lose their balance, the go-to strategy is a highly effective one: Use whatever happens to be nearby to keep from falling over. While for humans this approach is instinctive, it’s a hard problem for robots, involving perception, semantic understanding, motion planning, and careful force control, all executed under aggressive time constraints. In a paper published earlier this year in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, researchers at Inria in France show some early work getting a TALOS humanoid robot to use a nearby wall to successfully keep itself from taking a tumble. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Popular Science ☛ Quantum_computing_used_to_design_heat- blocking_glass_|_Popular_Science⠀⇛ Two researchers at the University of Notre Dame in collaboration with South Korea’s Kyung Hee University recently utilized quantum computing to help develop a new transparent window coating capable of blocking solar heat. In findings published in ACS Energy Levels, Tengfei Luo, Notre Dame’s Dorini Family Professor of Energy Studies, and postdoctoral associate, Seongmin Kim, worked together to devise their transparent radiative cooler (TRC) layer, which only permits external visible light that doesn’t raise indoor temperatures, thus cutting buildings’ cooling costs by as much as a third of current rates. According to the International Energy Agency, air conditioning and electric fans comprise 20 percent of buildings’ energy costs around the world—roughly 10 percent of human electricity consumption. To determine the absolute best materials configuration, the team relied on machine learning and the promising field of quantum computing for a solution. Although in its relatively early phases of development, quantum computing offers immense potential due to its ability to far surpass traditional computing methods. Currently, even the most advanced of classical supercomputers rely on a binary state—representing information as 1’s and 0’s—to do all their calculations, meaning that there are limits to what they can and can’t achieve. Quantum computing, in contrast, can represent information as either 1, 0, or a combination of the two. This hypothetically gives scientists a massive advantage in numerous fields, such as natural science simulations and nuclear fusion research. o § Linux Foundation⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux_Foundation’s_AgStack_Project_will_build_dataset_of field_boundaries_–_GPS_World_:_GPS_World⠀⇛ On Dec. 20, the Linux Foundation announced its AgStack Project, which will host an open-source code base, along with a fully automated, continuous computation engine that will maintain a global dataset of boundaries for agricultural fields. The AgStack Asset Registry dataset will aid food traceability, carbon tracking, crop production, and other field-level analytics. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Joe Brockmeier ☛ Why_don’t_people_just…?_:_Dissociated Press⠀⇛ Bit of a rant here, so be warned… Caught two threads today with the general gist of “why don’t people just…” –specifically, why haven’t people learned from Twitter or just sucked it up and started using 2FA, no matter what level of computer literacy they might be at. Why don’t open source projects just stand up Mattermost instead of Discord? Why haven’t users finally learned and started adopting 2FA? In the first instance, I think people just imagine standing up a service and don’t think about the long-term implications of offering a service like Mattermost for a project. There’s a ton of work, and potentially a fair amount of money, involved in offering up a service that’s going to be used by a lot of users 24/7. There’s the scaling. There’s the need to apply security fixes whenever they may arise. Not just the service like Mattermost, but all its dependencies, the operating system, the database… # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Old:_White_House_announces_100-day_cyber sprint_for_chemical_sector⠀⇛ The chemical industry is the next sector to take up President Biden’s 100-day cybersecurity sprint, the administration announced Wednesday, an effort designed to sharpen operators’ focus on the most significant risks from a digital attack such as gas leaks and other contaminations. The sprint also aims to improve information sharing and “analytical coordination” between the public and private sector and encourage chemical manufacturers to deploy threat detection on control systems. # ⚓ NVISO Labs ☛ Lower_email_spoofing_incidents_(and_make_your marketing_team_happy)_with_BIMI_–_NVISO_Labs [Ed: When the media says "marketing team" it typically means obnoxious spammers who fill up mail boxes of people who just try to report actual news and analyse facts]⠀⇛ Over the last couple of years, we saw the amount of phishing attacks skyrocket. According to F5, a multi-cloud security and application provider, there was a 220% increase of incidents during the height of the global pandemic compared to the yearly average. It’s expected that every year there will be an additional increase of 15% in phishing attempts, making it one of the most threatening security risks for a company’s IT department. # ⚓ NVISO Labs ☛ The_Key_Role_of_the_Service_Delivery_Manager at_NVISO’s_Managed_Detect_&_Respond_Service [Ed: Selling proprietary snake oil?]⠀⇛ The Service Delivery Manager (SDM) plays a key role in the delivery of our NVISO cybersecurity NITRO Managed Detect & Respond (MDR) services. As the main point of contact, we represent the client at NVISO and represent NVISO at the client. During the operational lifecycle of a contract, my fellow SDMs and I are responsible for the quality of the cybersecurity services delivered and we ensure an efficient relationship and coordination between the customer and the various NVISO internal departments engaged in the delivery of these services. # ⚓ NVISO Labs ☛ The_Beauty_of_Being_a_Cybersecurity_Project Manager_for_NVISO_NITRO_MDR_–_NVISO_Labs⠀⇛ Cybersecurity is a dynamic and evolving sector, and we, cybersecurity Project Managers, have the privilege of being right at the centre of the action. We make projects come to life, and seeing the satisfaction of the clients for the results provided and the fulfilment of the colleagues for the great work done is what makes our job so worth it. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Who’s_Watching_|_Marina_Manoukian⠀⇛ The evolution of the right to privacy [...] Long before TikToking on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, there was the Kodak Camera, first unveiled in 1888, which made a previously expensive and cumbersome venture comparatively accessible to the masses. By 1896, over one hundred thousand had been sold, and those who couldn’t put them down were dubbed “Kodakers.” Advertisements likened photography to hunting, and men were often shown taking “shots” of women unbeknownst to them. The New York Times observed in 1889 that “if the young lady refuses he will perhaps strive to get her picture when she is not on guard just out of spite.” Photographs of random people were sold everywhere and even given away for free in packs of cigarettes. “Many people felt a profound sense of exposure and violation upon being photographed, or upon finding their photographs displayed and sold in photo shops, or used in advertisements, without their consent,” writes Robert E. Mensel in “Kodakers Lying in Wait.” o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ BBC ☛ UK_apology_sought_for_British_war_crimes_in_Palestine –_BBC_News⠀⇛ The people of al-Bassa got their lesson in imperial brutality when the British soldiers came after dawn. Machine guns mounted on Rolls Royce armoured cars opened fire on the Palestinian village before the Royal Ulster Rifles arrived with flaming torches and burned homes to the ground. Villagers were rounded up while troops later herded men onto a bus and forced them to drive over a landmine which blew up, killing everyone on board. A British policeman photographed the scene as women tended to the remains of their dead, before maimed body parts were buried in a pit. It was the autumn of 1938 and UK forces were facing a rebellion in Palestine, under British control after the defeat two decades earlier of the Ottoman Empire. o § Environment⠀➾ # § Energy⠀➾ # ⚓ New Scientist ☛ Mars_has_enough_wind_to_power_bases near_the_poles_all_year_round_|_New_Scientist⠀⇛ Wind turbines on Mars could theoretically provide enough energy for scientists to safely explore outer regions of the planet during crewed missions. Solar energy might be sufficient for investigating Mars near the equator, but to live nearer the poles all year round, other power sources are needed. In combination with solar power, well-placed wind turbines could supply enough energy for a group of six people to live and work on Mars all year round, without the radiation risks associated with nuclear energy, says Victoria Hartwick at the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California. “It’s really exciting that by combining potential wind power with other sources of energy, we open up large parts of the planet to exploration and to these really scientifically interesting zones that the [scientific] community may have previously discredited because of energy requirements,” she says. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ [Old]_Where_Elma_becomes_Selma⠀⇛ Adivasis from Chhattisgarh who have for long migrated to Andhra Pradesh are now returning. But many stay back too, despite poor amenities and an officialdom that misspells their names – because they feel safe # ⚓ Gregory Hammond ☛ Why_points_doesn’t_equal_to_saved_money⠀⇛ With everyone looking to save money, there are many people promoting about collecting points (either through a store or credit card). While this sounds great, collecting these points don’t actually equal to saving money, and there are a number of things you should look into before and while doing this. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Mass_pub_closures_hit_England_and Wales_–_Michael_West⠀⇛ More than 32 pubs disappeared from communities in England and Wales each month in 2022 as rocketing energy bills and staffing pressures forced businesses to shut for the final time. New analysis of official government data by real estate adviser Altus group found the overall number of pubs slid by 386 during the year. The total number of pubs in England and Wales, including those vacant and being offered to let, fell to 39,787 in December compared with 40,173 at the same time last year. # ⚓ [Old]_The_Deeper_Malaise_Behind_Rupee’s_Free_Fall_| NewsClick⠀⇛ The fact that forex reserves left with RBI to defend the rupee have been declining only strengthen expectations of a further fall, and entails an even greater assault on working wages. # ⚓ What_Does_the_Fed’s_Jerome_Powell_Have_Up_His_Sleeve?_|_WEB OF_DEBT_BLOG⠀⇛ The Real Goal of Fed Policy: Breaking Inflation, the Middle Class or the Bubble Economy? “There is no sense that inflation is coming down,” said Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell at a November 2 press conference, — this despite eight months of aggressive interest rate hikes and “quantitative tightening.” o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Mother Jones ☛ [Old]_How_Wisconsin_Became_the_GOP’s Laboratory_for_Dismantling_Democracy_–_Mother_Jones⠀⇛ ice in suburban Milwaukee, located in a shopping plaza next to a dentist and an acupuncturist, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers scans the brightly colored maps that hang on the walls. They depict the tortuously shaped legislative districts drawn in a state now regarded as one of the most gerrymandered in the nation. “Who in their right minds could’ve made them up?” Evers asks. The answer: Republicans in the state legislature. Evers saw firsthand the impact of GOP control of the redistricting process when he ran for governor in 2018. That year, Democrats swept all five statewide races and won 53 percent of votes cast for the state assembly, but the party retained just 36 percent of seats in the chamber. “It’s real simple,” Evers says, after eating a Five Guys burger for lunch. “All the statewide elected officials are Democrats… But then you go into the legislature and it’s almost two-thirds Republicans. There’s something wrong with that picture.” # ⚓ Crucifying_Haiti⠀⇛ Foreign interventions have plagued Haiti since the mid-19th century. Virtually every world power indulged in coercive “gunboat diplomacy” to meddle in Haitian domestic affairs. Christopher Young amply demonstrates that France, Britain, the United States, Canada, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and Norway sent warships to bully Port-au-Prince into submission on multiple occasions throughout the late 1800s. Washington, Paris, and especially Berlin could hardly conceal their disdain for an independent and black-majority nation. # ⚓ Israel_and_the_Rise_of_Jewish_Fascism⠀⇛ The mask is being lifted from the face of Israel’s apartheid state, exposing a grinning death’s head that portends the obliteration of the few restraints against killing Palestinians. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Freedom_of_reach_IS_freedom_of_speech⠀⇛ The platforms treat your unambiguous request to receive messages from others as mere suggestions, a “signal” to be mixed into other signals in the content moderation algorithm that orders your feed, mixing in items from strangers whose material you never asked to see. There’s nothing wrong in principle with the idea of a system that recommends items from strangers. Indeed, that’s a great way to find people to follow! But “stuff we think you’ll like” is not the same category as “stuff you’ve asked to see.” Why do companies balk at showing you what you’ve asked to be shown? Sometimes it’s because they’re trying to be helpful. Maybe their research, or the inferences from their user surveillance, suggests that you actually prefer it that way. # ⚓ uni Cornell ☛ Trust_in_online_content_moderation_depends_on moderator_|_Cornell_Chronicle⠀⇛ More than 40% of U.S. adults have experienced some form of online harassment, according to Pew Research surveys, highlighting the need for content moderation on social media, which helps prevent and remove offensive or threatening messages. But who – or what – are the moderators policing the cyber landscape? And can they be trusted to act as gatekeepers for safe content? An interdisciplinary collaboration with Marie Ozanne, assistant professor of food and beverage management at the Peter and Stephanie Nolan School of Hotel Administration, in the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, found that both the type of moderator – human or AI – and the “temperature” of the harassing content influenced people’s perception of the moderation decision and the moderation system. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Caitlin Johnstone ☛ The_Biggest_Obstacle_To_Real_Freedom_Is The_Belief_That_We_Already_Have It_–_Caitlin_Johnstone⠀⇛ If you live in one of the so-called free democracies of the western world, the worst mistake you can make is to buy into the hype. To believe you are a free individual in a nation that respects and protects your freedom and individuality. Whenever I broach this subject I always get a deluge of objections along the lines of, “Well I’d much rather live where I live than under an authoritarian regime like in Iran or China! You would never be allowed to criticize your rulers the way you do if you lived in one of those places!” And I always want to ask them, what do you think drove you to make that objection? Why are you falling all over yourself to defend your country and the people who rule over you, while condemning foreign countries that your own government happens to dislike? Could it be because that’s how you’ve been trained to behave from a young and impressionable age, and that your objection is arising from the same place as a cult member’s objections to criticisms of their cult? Because that’s ultimately what holds power structures together in the US-aligned nations of the global north: indoctrination. The same thing used to program religious extremists and cult members. The only difference is that rather than scripture and religious leaders, the means of indoctrination is school, mainstream media, and Silicon Valley algorithm manipulation. # ⚓ Ideas,_Including_Foolish_Ones,_Have_Consequences_–_FPIF⠀⇛ Is the radical right pure hate and all emotion? Well, they may start from that, but humans that they are, some of them try to rationalize their hates and fears into theories that, though detached from reality, literally provide the ammunition that enables their followers to wreak havoc, like the guy did who descended on a store frequented by Black people in Buffalo several months ago in order to kill as many African-Americans as possible. Matthew Rose’s A World After Liberalism (Yale University, 2021) brings together and critically analyzes the thoughts of people that most of us probably have not heard of but are worshiped in far right networks around the world. Rose says we better listen to what these guys are saying, even if we find them utterly distasteful, because their ideas have consequences. Steve Bannon, the incendiary Trump adviser, may be the best known activist of the international far right, but he has derived inspiration from otherwise little known figures on the fringes of history, underlining the wisdom in Keynes’ well- known observation: “Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back.” o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ The Wall Street Journal ☛ Vint_Cerf_Helped_Create_the Internet_on_the_Back_of_an_Envelope⠀⇛ Much has changed in the world of cyberspace since Jan. 1, 1983, the date often called “the birthday of the internet.” Yet the internet’s fundamental architecture—the communications protocol that allows computer networks all over the world to talk to each other—remains essentially the same. This is largely thanks to a design that Vint Cerf sketched on the back of an envelope while holed up with fellow computer scientist Robert Kahn in a Palo Alto cabana nearly 50 years ago. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ Oligopoly_Unchecked_|_Michael_Hudson⠀⇛ Well, I grew up in a Marxist household. My father was a political prisoner, one of the Minneapolis 17.1 Minneapolis was the only city in the world that was a Trotskyist city, and my parents worked with Trotsky in Mexico. So, I grew up not having any intention of going into economics. I wanted to be a musician, and when I was 21, I began writing a history of the connection between music, art, drama theory, and the Renaissance in the 19th century. But then I went to New York and went to work on Wall Street just to get a job. I met the translator of Marx’s Theories of Surplus Value, Terence McCarthy, who convinced me that economics was more interesting than anything else that was happening. He became my mentor, I took a PhD in economics, and that’s it. * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal⠀➾ # ⚓ Getting_Back_into_Final_Fantasy_XIV⠀⇛ It’s probably no small surprise that I enjoy MMORPGs seeing as they’ve taken up a disproportionally large amount of discussion related to video games on this capsule. Depending on the game, they can have a pretty decent mix of exploration, story, bopping things in dungeons, enjoyable things to do that don’t involve dungeons, and if we’re really lucky it might even have a very nice / kind community. Of all the games that I’ve played in the genre, Elder Scrolls Online, Guild Wars 2, and Final Fantasy XIV have checked the most boxes on that list. Well, they check all of those boxes to be honest. o § Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ On_limits_of_Code_and_Data⠀⇛ The history of general-purpose computing has been a never-stopping expansion of addressable memory space (and with it, bit-width of registers to access such memory). It is my conjecture that we’ve long passed the limits of reasonable. I will stick to the practical aspects of Harn implementation — based on much previous experience implementing 8-, 9-, 12-, 16-, 18-, 24-, 32- and 64-bit systems. When I say experience, I mean actual nose-to-the-ground coding in assembly, not setting a flag on some compiler and changing some #defines… (not that there is anything wrong with that…) # ⚓ GmCapsule:_Extensible_Gemini/Titan_Server⠀⇛ I’ve been relying on Agate since the beginning, but now I increasingly want to serve dynamic content and handle more advanced requests, so it was time to upgrade instead of running little ad-hoc servers on side ports. # ⚓ It’s_not_a_“security_hole,”_it’s_a_“privacy_hole”_and_I don’t_think_it’s_anything_to_worry_about⠀⇛ > Imagine a scenario where Big Tech does a massive marketing campaign in an attempt to mainstream the protocol. As part of their marketing, they could try to sell the idea of a Big Proprietary browser, or even add Gemini support directly into their existing web browser. Then they start a disinformation campaign to demonize the wide range of existing clients. Normies, naturally, would buy that without question, as they do. At that point, Big Tech could simply have their browser automatically generate a client certificate for every user and attach it to every request. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Tarai⠀⇛ The tarai function recently came to my attention; the context was music composition, or the art of creating hopefully neither boring nor terrible sounds from the emissions of some algorithm. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
