NOW:_Pensions_Lies_to_Its_Customers_and_Protects_Abusers Summary: Sirius_‘Open_Source’ is likely to have committed very serious fraud and criminally stolen money from its workers; today we expose some of the more preliminary findings from a 3-month investigation THIS part of the series is “long in the making”, so to speak. It took many long calls, distant contacts, meticulous correspondence and subsequent analysis to prepare. Today we present more of an overview and some time soon — likely later this week — we’ll release a lot of audio. It’s hard to tell how long this sub- series will be as that’s highly dependent on numerous leads. The short story is, Sirius isn’t denying the allegations. These allegations are very serious and the consequences profound (like several years in prison). Sirius is now existing on “borrowed time”; the CEO left very recently and the so-called ‘founder’ is in hiding. He works double shifts, trying to salvage what’s left of the company he claims to have founded (we doubt this, based on documents presented here before). “So far we’ve involved close to 10 people in three pension providers.”The index at the top explains how this relates to a pension provider, which we had no choice but to publicly name (and shame). I sent_them_about_10_E-mail_messages, but I never received a reply or a phonecall as I asked (I said this was very urgent — not a lie by the way!). It seems they’re rather afraid of this case, fearing perhaps that it’s a major liability in light of various scandals (which I explained to them in very clear terms several times so far this year). So far we’ve involved close to 10 people in three pension providers. Many people are aware of this case, including a pension provider that has some past as a client of Sirius. We decided to make complaints only after all other avenues had been exhausted and advised people to transfer pensions in order to secure them from future fraud. In the process we did manage to get numerous letters, including formal documentation. We started chasing the pension providers, insisting that they need to cooperate (get reply or shame them, unfortunately, for basically covering up fraud). After several pension checks (not the Tracker) we could finally see disparities; where the money vanished is less of a mystery over time, as we assume that the company might as well have used pension payments in payslips to deceive staff. That’s a very serious crime. And to compare to statements, as per the formal balance, means that the discrepancies become evident. “Some of them are too slow to act and we cannot wait for too long because Sirius will be bankrupt soon.”As it turns out, others experienced the same thing. “I emailed the office a few years ago, xxxxxxx responded,” to quote one former colleague, and xxxxxxx “said xxxxxxx would try and find out but never did.” “If you saw the other stories,” I responded, “you’ll see that a lack of response in Sirius says a great deal. That says a lot and [is] so very typical!” When it comes to the pension lapses, I_had_to_escalate_4_times_before_even receiving_any_response_at_all_(a_face-saving_reply). This is covered in detail. The same is true for paylips that stopped coming. “xxxxxxx is employed to cover up for xxxxxxx,” I said. “That’s xxxxxxx actual job. Lots of examples of that.” New material will emerge while we prepare future parts of the series, but the cat is out of the bag and we’ll report any progress with the ongoing inquiry, which has been preliminarily escalated to the police. If it’s not progressing, we should open a case and report to the Pension Regulator as well. Some of them are too slow to act and we cannot wait for too long because Sirius will be bankrupt soon. “In the process we did manage to get numerous letters, including formal documentation.”The company itself is trying to hide. The CEO of Sirius has just left, so time is at the essence. Just before he left, or one month ago, I sent the following message: “Please provide the full address to send legal papers to. Not the address of the accountant of Sirius or the address of your accountant (which you also registered your business with). Failing to provide the full, real address will result in further escalation and potentially class action lawsuit, with former employees involved and clients fully informed. I shall expect a reply by Tuesday, February 7th.” Sometimes they pretend that the E-mails they don’t like to receive simply got “lost in the mail”, so I asked later on: “Any response? Did my message get lost in your ‘spam box’? Again? I’ll give you until end of Tuesday.” He left the company some time later, without uttering a single word. If they are still not answering very simple E-mails, we should consider a class action lawsuit. They know they did something, so they try to keep quiet, hoping not to give away any clues. Half a day ago I asked the last remaining chief if what the pension provider tells me is true. I wrote: Dear xxxxxx, I spoke to numerous managers at xxxxxx for 3 months. They reached the conclusion that myself and colleagues never had any money deposited there — money taken for “Pension” off of our salary, as per the payslips for 5+ years. This suggests pension fraud and an actual crime. I assume, moreover, that yyyyy (as Director and spouse) was fully aware of this. In the name of journalistic integrity I must first ask you if this is patently false — a chance for you to comment in your defence. A lack of reply can be interpreted as implicit admission of guilt. To paraphrase what you said in a call back in November, “it doesn’t look good.” This message was received but not answered; it’s not a “no comment” per se but a refusal to even comment or issue a self-defending statement. Due to the nature of the job, he certainly saw that message and chose to hide. E-mails to the address of the departing CEO are bouncing (from Google oddly enough! Is it outsourced as well?), so they’re not even routing E-mails to the former CEO. Is anyone left to run the ship? “The last CEO, who bullied my wife, left very recently.”In the above message it is noted that yyyyy was a spouse of the ‘founder’ and a Director at the time, so she knew what was going on and she, unlike her former husband, is based in the UK and isn’t a fugitive in the US. Can she too be held accountable? The last CEO, who bullied my wife, left very recently. He probably knew nothing about this (or wasn’t complicit) because he was not inside the company at the time, but maybe he could see paperwork or was given verbal memos about this taboo subject. Maybe the inquest has, in its own right, motivated the departure (fear of being held accountable when a real address was pursued). In the above, the main point is, they hide and they do not reply to any email that doesn’t serve their interests — a years-old issue. In the next few parts we shall present hard evidence (audio also) of the crime. Unless managers at a very large and reputable pension provider lied to me (which is improbable; too risk for them to do this), the mini-series may become rather long (already close to 10 parts). It should be noted that so far we’ve only scratched the surface.

Since most Linux users are very familiar with Ubuntu Linux already, it is common to use it as a base for comparison to other distros like MX Linux. Knowing how these two distributions stack up and compare to each other can lead users to a reliable conclusion about which one would be the best for their preferences and workflow. The average user can get overwhelmed when it comes to choosing a Linux distribution to use, just because of the sheer number of choices available. It is common to dip a toe into the Linux pool by installing Ubuntu, before graduating to a different distribution that is more tailored to the individual needs of the user. Could MX Linux be the next step for you? In this tutorial, we will compare MX Linux and Ubuntu across a few key areas and give a brief review of both distros. Read on to learn more about MX Linux and Ubuntu and how they compare.

As part of the process the extension is going to be renamed ‘Ubuntu Tiling Assistant’. In recent versions of Ubuntu you can drag an app window to the sides of the screen to snap it to to half of the size vertically, or drag a window to the top of the screen to maximise it fully. You can’t currently drag an app to a screen corner to snap it to 25%, nor drag a window to the top to snap it to only 50% of the available horizontal space. # ⚓ FOSSLinux ☛ 10_tips_and_tricks_for_improving_performance_on Linux_Mint⠀⇛ Linux Mint is a stable and reliable operating system for novice and advanced users.

The marchers were protesting the murder of a young, unarmed Black man and the continued disenfranchisement of Black people in the South. The brutal, unprovoked attack sparked national outrage, became known as “Bloody Sunday,” and was a catalyst of the voting rights movement. This march led to the signing and passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by Congress and President Lyndon B. Johnson. ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ Elon_Musk_Claims_Twitter_Could_Be_‘Capital_Positive’_in_Mere_Months [Ed: There are no expenses other than debt interest payments when there are no users left!]⠀⇛ Elon Musk doesn’t have a great track record of saying things that then come true.

Chart: Axios Visuals. The Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit on Tuesday to block JetBlue’s planned $3.8_billion_takeover_of_Spirit_Airlines, alleging the merger of low-cost airline rivals would increase ticket prices and lessen options for travelers.

The Musicians’ Union (MU) is in urgent talks with the BBC to save jobs after the corporation’s proposals to make cuts across the BBC Performing Groups. § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ * § Personal⠀➾ o ⚓ RE:_Rewilding_Music⠀⇛ To anyone who is not a musician, these days music experience is probably neatly packaged in well-designed products. Listening to recorded music, as opposed to live performances, has become the norm. Before there were any audio recording technologies, the ladies of the bourgoisie learnt to play the piano so that they could entertain family and friends with popular tunes in piano reductions of the full score. Later, in the Hippie era, everyone had an acoustic guitar and were able to find three chords, enough to accompany their singing of most songs they knew. Other instruments have been in widespread use in various geographical areas and times. No doubt, the easy access to digital music technologies have contributed to a decline in attention to traditional instrumental skills. o ⚓ Do_You_Live_in_a_City_or_a_Town?⠀⇛ Here in the US cities are weird. Los Angeles is an example of a sprawl with multiple ‘downtowns’ connected with 8-lane highways and suburbia in-between, full of malls and swimming pools. Not what I would call a city personally (more like a vision of hell). But it’s big and largely unwalkable, whatever it is. Cities are formed by inflated towns that run into each other. Like that game where small cells are consumed by larger ones, towns are absorbed into larger and politically mightier townships and eventually form cities. But that’s not what I am talking about. Look out the window. Do you see electrical wires on a pole? Town. o ⚓ Launching_my_capsule⠀⇛ Hey all! I’ve known about gemini for a couple of years now and have looked around in it semi-regularly since then (mostly through Antenna), so I figured now was a good time for me to launch my own capsule and join in. o ⚓ It_gets_pretty_tilty_in_that_house.⠀⇛ I’ll have some jimbeam, the white label, a double. Maybe it’s just time I got away from that Tax Rd. house. To be sure I’ll be sad to leave those bunch, even though they mostly don’t pay their rent share and I tend to cover. Yeah, I’ll miss their pills, but it’s their companionship I’ll mostly miss. Tinny too, you know, even though the frogness is pretty far along in her by now. She can’t even talk anymore, or maybe even listen. She’s about ready for to move to the pond for good, so our time’s up either way. I got to accept the regress, same as death. Still hard, though. o ⚓ Why_do_we_build_robots?⠀⇛ I’m nearing the end of my PhD in robotics and often wonder what the purpose of robots is. But first let me clarify what I mean by robots. A robot is a machine that can autonomously act on and react to its environment. The key word here is “autonomously”. Different kinds of robots have different degrees of autonomy. Surgical robots are on the lower end of the autonomy spectrum, having practically no autonomy. A surgical robot needs to be continuously operated by a surgeon, like any other tool in the surgeon’s disposal. Surgical robots can only act on their environment if commanded to by a human operator. It’s fairly easy to find useful applications for human-operated robots, surgery, search and rescue operations in dangerous environments or safe inspection of difficult to access structures. * § Technical⠀➾ o § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Kraut⠀⇛ The smol internet (as supported by the current global system) perhaps pairs well with slow food (as supported by the current global system). And unto this age came Cabbage, destined to bear the salty crown of aqualonia upon a troubled brow. Doubtless it is easier to buy jars of the stuff at a store, given how much beating and chopping and weighing and making a general mess of the kitchen is involved. On the other hand such jars can range from being too expensive, too spicy, too salty, or to simply not being available in a food desert. Probably food deserts have neither cabbage nor kraut. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Why, to name but a few, are Hamlet, The Iliad, The Divine Comedy, War and Peace, The Flowers of Evil, Don Quixote, Faust generally considered outstanding examples of world literature? What makes one work of literature superior to another? Why is some literature read for centuries, even millennia, while others languish in scholarly oblivion? What are the sacred secrets of Calliope? It is my contention that there are at least ten essential powers of Great Literature. If a work of literature does not contain all ten; it might be good, even very good, but will not deserve the appellation “Great”. o ⚓ CNN ☛ Two_dead,_16_injured_in_train_derailment_in_Egypt⠀⇛ At least two people were killed, and 16 others were injured after a train derailed north of Cairo on Tuesday, according to Egypt’s Health Ministry. o ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ South_Korea’s_olive_branch_to_Japan⠀⇛ The president’s plan to compensate wartime Korean victims starts with a recognition that any redress by Japan must be voluntary. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Pulling_Data_From_HDMI_RF_Leakage⠀⇛ A long-running story in the world of electronic security has been the reconstruction of on-screen data using RF interference from monitors or televisions. From British TV detector vans half a century ago to 1980s scare stories about espionage, it was certainly easy enough to detect an analogue CRT with nothing more than an AM broadcast radio receiver. But can this still be done in the digital age? It’s something [Windytan] has looked into, as she reconstructs images using leakage from HDMI cables. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Ground_Source_Heat_Pump_From_An_Air Conditioner⠀⇛ When it comes to lower-energy home heating, it’s accurate in all senses to say that heat pumps are the new hotness. But unless you happen to work with them professionally, it’s fair to say their inner workings are beyond most of us. Help is at hand though courtesy of [petey53], who made his own ground source heat pump for his Toronto house using a pair of window-mounted air conditioning units. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Powercore_Aims_To_Bring_The_Power_Of_EDM_To_Any 3D_Printer⠀⇛ The desktop manufacturing revolution has been incredible, unleashing powerful technologies that once were strictly confined to industrial and institutional users.

The train, owned by Norfolk Southern, was transporting chemicals and other hazardous materials when an overheated wheel bearing led to a catastrophic derailment on February 3. The subsequent disaster response included a localized evacuation and a controlled burn of hazardous substances contained in the derailed tankers, including the carcinogenic chemical vinyl chloride, fouling the air and leaving residents worried about their health and safety upon return. Nearly three years ago to the day, another disaster involving leakage of a hazardous material similarly sickened residents and forced the evacuation of a small town, this time in Mississippi. On February 22, 2020, a 24-inch pipeline transporting highly pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2) contaminated with a small amount of hydrogen sulfide ruptured in the town of Satartia, sending a large toxic plume into the surrounding area. Around 300 people were evacuated and nearly 50 hospitalized. More than 100 people were sickened, many of whom have had lingering symptoms like cognitive impairment, reduced lung capacity, PTSD, and chronic fatigue. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ An_Open_Letter_to_Congressional_Sponsors_of Medicare_for_All⠀⇛ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Countering_GOP_Attacks,_Biden_Proposes_Tax Hike_on_the_Rich_to_Strengthen_Medicare⠀⇛ President Joe Biden on Tuesday unveiled a plan to extend Medicare’s solvency into the 2050s by raising taxes on high-income Americans and cutting prescription drug costs, a proposal that Biden presented as an alternative to GOP attacks on the healthcare program used by tens of millions of seniors. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Illinois_to_Relocate_at_Least_Half_of Residents_From_Choate⠀⇛ The Illinois Department of Human Services plans to dramatically reduce the number of patients with developmental disabilities who live at the embattled state-run Choate Mental Health and Developmental Center. In an exclusive interview before an expected Wednesday announcement, IDHS Secretary Grace Hou outlined a “repurposing and restructuring” of Choate, located in rural Anna, about 120 miles southeast of St. Louis. That process will start with the relocation of 123 residents with developmental disabilities who entered the facility voluntarily — roughly half the current population. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Axios ☛ Hackers_are_quickly_learning_how_to_breach_cloud systems⠀⇛ Hackers are quickly finding flaws in organizations’ cloud_infrastructure despite perceptions that the technology is ironclad against cyberattacks. The big picture: Organizations have invested billions_of_dollars in recent years to move their digital data from traditional, on-premise enterprise storage solutions to the cloud. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Prompt_Injection_Attacks_on_Large_Language Models⠀⇛ This is a good_survey on prompt injection attacks on large language models (like ChatGPT). Abstract: We are currently witnessing dramatic advances in the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). They are already being adopted in practice and integrated into many systems, including integrated development environments (IDEs) and search engines. The functionalities of current LLMs can be modulated via natural language prompts, while their exact internal functionality remains implicit and unassessable. This property, which makes them adaptable to even unseen tasks, might also make them susceptible to targeted adversarial prompting. Recently, several ways to misalign LLMs using Prompt Injection (PI) attacks have been introduced. In such attacks, an adversary can prompt the LLM to produce malicious content or override the original instructions and the employed filtering schemes. Recent work showed that these attacks are hard to mitigate, as state-of-the-art LLMs are instruction-following. So far, these attacks assumed that the adversary is directly prompting the LLM… # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Papers Please ☛ Germany_follows_US_lead_in_misuse_of airline_reservation_data⠀⇛ [Florian Gutsche of the VVN-BdA: An embarrassment to Germany’s reputation? Or a credit to it? And does his black shirt prove that he’s dangerous?] On Friday, February 24th, Florian Gutsche, a German citizen and the national chair of the German Association of People Persecuted by the Nazi Regime – Association of Anti- Fascists (VVN-BdA), was intercepted by German federal police at Berlin Brandenburg Airport, prevented from boarding a flight he had planned to take to Sofia, Bulgaria, and served with an order prohibiting him from leaving Germany for the duration of the weekend. Formal parliamentary questions have already been submitted to the German government by a member of the Bundestag, asking by whom and on what basis the order prohibiting Herr Gutsche from leaving Germany was issued. These are important questions. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ F.T.C._Intensifies_Investigation_of Twitter’s_Privacy_Practices⠀⇛ The commission is seeking an interview with Elon Musk, who has made major cuts at the company since acquiring it last year. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Elon_Musk_Says_Twitter’s_Finances Are_Improving_After_Big_Cuts [Ed: When Twitter has 0 users, no more losses, just debt to pay (with interest!)]⠀⇛ On a day Mr. Musk said the company was recovering from a sharp drop in ad sales, he found himself apologizing to a former employee with a disability he had disparaged. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Spying_by_Mexico’s_Armed_Forces Brings_Fears_of_a_‘Military_State’⠀⇛ Mexico’s armed forces are not authorized to spy on civilians, legal experts say, but the military has long wielded spying technology and has grown ever more powerful under Mr. López Obrador. In a 2020 Defense Ministry report, unearthed last year in an extensive [breach] of the Mexican armed forces and reviewed by The New York Times, military officers described the details of private conversations between a human rights advocate and three journalists discussing allegations that soldiers just weeks earlier had executed three civilians in a confrontation with a cartel. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ 2_Americans_Found_Dead,_2_Found Alive_in_Mexico_Kidnapping⠀⇛ Four friends crossed the border on Friday, but within hours, they were abducted by gunmen and two of them were killed before the others were rescued Tuesday. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Surveillance_oversight_board member_explores_concerns_about_Section_702_renewal⠀⇛ Section 702 was designed to allow intelligence agencies to collect the online communications of foreign intelligence targets. However, the program has drawn concerns over the years for the incidental collection of the data of U.S. persons in the process and how that data is later used by intelligence agencies without a warrant. Advertisement LeBlanc, speaking in a personal capacity, expressed serious reservations about renewing the authority without significant reforms. He specifically pointed to concerns with the ongoing incidental collection of data belonging to U.S. persons, something that the National Security Agency currently does not collect data on. # ⚓ Patrick Breyer ☛ #ChatControl_survey:_Children_don’t want_to_be_“protected”_by_scanning_or_age-restricting messenger_and_chat_apps⠀⇛ A representative survey reveals that 66% of minors oppose internet providers scanning personal messages for suspect content, measures which are proposed for their protection in the EU’s CSA Regulation (CSAR), also called “ChatControl” proposal. 80% of underage respondents explain they would not feel comfortable to be politically active or explore their sexuality if their conversations were monitored or scanned. For this survey, the public opinion research company Episto polled more than 8,000 teenagers aged 13 to 17 in 13 EU Member States. # ⚓ EFF ☛ Section_702’s_Unconstitutional_Domestic_Spying Program_Must_End⠀⇛ On its face, Section 702 allows the government to conduct surveillance inside the United States so long as the surveillance is directed at foreigners currently located outside the United States. It also prohibits intentionally targeting Americans. Nevertheless, the NSA routinely (“incidentally”) acquires innocent Americans’ communications without a probable cause warrant. In fact, FISA Court judges who approve Section 702 surveillance never learn about, let alone approve, the targets of surveillance under Section 702, and they rely entirely on certifications from the executive branch that downplay the nature of incidental surveillance of Americans. Then, rather than “minimize” the sharing and retention of Americans’ data, as Congress required, the NSA routinely shares such data with the FBI, CIA, and National Counterterrorism Center, and all agencies retain it for at least five years. Since Section 702 was last reauthorized in 2018, it has only become clearer that this provision is a rich source of warrantless government access to Americans’ phone calls, texts, and emails. In this way, Section 702’s mass surveillance of Americans and the availability of that information to law enforcement isn’t just “incidental”—it’s the primary function of the program. What should we do about a program where the byproduct of the program becomes the primary benefit to the government? As early as 2011, the FISA Court held that the NSA’s collection of Internet communications violated the Fourth Amendment because, despite targeting foreign communications, the agency was still collecting approximately 56,000 American emails a year. And yet, this collection continued. In 2021 alone, the FBI conducted up to 3.4 million warrantless searches of Section 702 data to find Americans’ communications. Congress and the FISA Court have imposed modest limitations on these “backdoor searches,” but according to several recent FISA Court opinions, the FBI has engaged in “widespread violations” of even these minimal privacy protections. # ⚓ EFF ☛ EFF_Comments_to_NTIA_on_Privacy_and_Civil Rights⠀⇛ The submission spotlights how data surveillance practices cause discrimination against vulnerable groups across the entire lifecycle of data processing: at the point of data collection; in the use of data for ad delivery and automated decision-making; and when corporate employees misuse data and thieves steal it.  The unifying thread to this pervasive system is the processing of personal information about people from marginalized communities, and the subsequent discriminatory use by corporations and government agencies—exacerbating existing structural inequalities across society.  One necessary approach to solving this problem is to reduce the amount of data that these entities can use to discriminate. To resist these civil rights abuses at their source, we need federal comprehensive consumer data privacy legislation. # § Confidentiality⠀➾ # ⚓ Signal ☛ Signal_is_for_everyone,_and_everyone_is different⠀⇛ As a key component of our commitment to privacy, we don’t collect “user analytics,” or other finely-grained data about how people use Signal. This is a principled choice we make over and over again, and one that makes understanding what people who use Signal want and need, and how they’re using Signal harder. Without in-app tracking on which features are used by whom and when, or data from third-party data brokers, we rely on other sources of information and the expertise and instincts of our team. Our in-house User Voice team fields ideas, complaints, and crises experienced by people who use Signal and shares them with our leadership and development teams. Signal developers spend a lot of time working with the User Voice team to better understand issues, often going back and forth with people reporting these issues until we’re able to accurately diagnose and understand what’s going on. We view User Voice as the most valuable source of information about what different people want (and don’t) from Signal, and their work helps fill in some of the gaps that our rejection of user tracking leaves in our understanding. We also read feedback on social media and in our community forum as well as app store reviews and media (while recognizing that much of this feedback is often in English, and often from people who skew Western and technically-literate). And we are beginning to invest more in UX and market research to help deepen our understanding of how people want and need to communicate. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Whose_Red_Lines?⠀⇛ In the conflict-ridden realm of international relations, certain terms are particularly useful, and one of them is “Red Lines.” Derived from the concept of a “line in the sand,” first employed in antiquity, the term “Red Lines” appears to have emerged in the 1970s to denote what one nation regards as unacceptable from other nations. In short, it is an implicit threat. Vladimir Putin, self-anointed restorer of the Russian empire, has tossed about the term repeatedly in recent years. “I hope nobody will get it into their heads to cross Russia’s so-called red line,” he warned in April 2021. “Where it will be drawn, we will decide ourselves in each specific case.” # ⚓ FAIR ☛ Scary_Headlines_Hype_Dangers_Rarely_Faced_by Tourists_in_Mexico⠀⇛ Planning a trip to Mexico? If you read the news these days, you would think that Americans ought to be terrified of the popular tourist destination. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Will_the_war_in_Ukraine_end_in_year_two?_Halting Russia’s_invasion_before_2024_is_possible,_but_only_if_the West_learns_to_be_bolder_and_more_decisive_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is now a protracted war that looks likely to devolve into a stalemate. Given what we know about the conflict’s combat dynamics and force structure, however, it’s unclear if either side would ever admit to being stuck. A definitive military victory looks just as unlikely for Ukraine as for Russia, but ending the war with a relative sense of success is far more probable for Kyiv and its Western partners, though it remains hypothetically possible for Moscow. Meduza explains why this is the case. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Can_the_U.N._Stop_the_War?⠀⇛ We in the West watch the slaughter in Eastern Europe as if it were a football game, rooting for an underdog team as it courageously stands up to a stronger adversary. Will it stop standing, hopelessly swept to defeat by superior numbers of forces? # ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘The_gauntlet_has_been_thrown_down’:_Lukashenko claims_Ukraine_challenged_Belarus,_responds_by_calling Zelensky_‘a_nit’_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko attacked Volodymyr Zelensky while talking about the airfield explosion that took place in Machulishchy on February 25. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Independent_survey_finds_that_half_of_Russians have_negative_view_of_people_who_moved_abroad_to_avoid mobilization_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Half (51 percent) of Russians disapprove or take a negative view of their compatriots who have left the country to avoid mobilization, according to new survey data from the independent Levada Center. Only 10 percent of respondents said they view these emigrants positively or “with understanding.” # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Havana_Syndrome_Case_Cracked⠀⇛ The Havana Syndrome was first reported in Cuba in 2016. The mysterious malady initially afflicted US embassy staff in Havana, especially those attached to intelligence missions. It then spread to Canadian embassy officials. The sudden headaches, debilitating dizziness, and hearing excruciatingly painful sounds struck both at work and at home. Oddly, the Cubans themselves appeared immune to the pathology. Soon other cases of what the US Defense Department called “anomalous health incidents” (AHIs) were reported in Russia, China, Colombia, Uzbekistan, and then even in the US. This mass psychogenic illness was experienced mostly by US government spies, diplomats, and military personnel all over the world, according to Wikipedia. A “government- wide response” was precipitated with “support groups” established. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ The_Country_Is_Paying_for_Merrick_Garland’s Failure_to_Prosecute_Trump⠀⇛ Garland has now passed the buck to special counsel Jack Smith, and the same people who told us that Bill Barr was going to be an honorable attorney general, or that Robert Mueller was going to be a dogged investigator, or that Rod Rosenstein was going to stand up to the Trump White House, now tell us that Smith is the perfect “closer” to bring Trump to justice. For what it’s worth, I actually believe that Smith will indict Trump for something, eventually, if only to justify his own existence. But we are already in March of 2023. The Iowa caucuses are on February 5, 2024. The New Hampshire primary for Republicans is on February 13. Trump is the presumptive front-runner in both of those contests. Even if indictments come down today, it’s simply unlikely that the wheels of justice will spin fast enough to take us from charges to trial in less than a year. At warp speed, putting together a trial for a former president in under a year is daunting. Such a timeline is functionally impossible when you consider the inundation of motions, appeals, and requests for delays Trump’s legal team will throw up. Trump’s lawyers will try to bring all of those appeals to the Supreme Court, and we already have a mountain of evidence that this Supreme Court, stacked as it is with Republican culture warriors, is willing to go as fast or as slow as it needs to, depending on which speed helps the Republican Party the most. Remember, this Supreme Court ruled that February 2022 was “too close” to the November 2022 midterms to force Alabama to change its racist congressional district maps before the last federal election. The idea that these same people would do anything to hurt the Trump campaign within the penumbra of the 2024 election is magical thinking. # ⚓ Salon ☛ Neo-Nazi_cyberattacks_on_the_rise:_DHS_“very concerned”_about_power_grid⠀⇛ “The primary terrorism threat, the most lethal and persistent terrorism threat that we’re facing now, is not from the al-Qaidas and the al-Shababs and the ISISes, though they remain a serious threat,” he said. “But it’s from the lone actors and the small groups who are ideologically driven here within the United States and motivated out of ideology to foment, conspire to and engage in violence.” # ⚓ ANF News ☛ Citizens_of_Manbij:_Cutting_off_Euphrates_water aims_to_decimate_people⠀⇛ Îbrahim noted that the Turkish state is uttering threats and mounting constant attacks against the region and annexing Syrian lands to its territory. She said: “The most dangerous policy is to cut off the water of the Euphrates, because water cut leads to power blackouts and agriculture also needs water.” # ⚓ Jerusalem Post ☛ Iran_may_be_behind_BDS_‘hit_list’ targeting_Boston_Jews_–_report⠀⇛ According to a Zachor statement, “more than two- thirds of the 505 ‘targets’ featured on the website are not Jewish institutions, but rather US security institutions, including the exact locations of 271 police stations, 9 US military bases and installations, and offices of Homeland Security, the FBI, the Secret Service, and US government- linked weapons manufacturers, all of which are pinpointed on a single interactive map.” # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ Human_Trafficking:_A_Global_Security Concern⠀⇛ One of the leading problems of the globalized world that has increased over time is human trafficking. It has increased in all parts of the world specially Africa, Asia and Europe. It involves kidnapping, trapping or sending individuals from one place to another either within state or outside.

It’s complicated, they say. Or is it? What is the scam behind carbon offsets and credits? When wanting to get away with a simple fraud or scam, make it look complicated. And that’s exactly what the Government and the fossil fuel industry want us to believe that it is. Fact is, carbon offsets and credits are not that complicated at all! # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ New_Nuclear_Plants_Have_Turned_Into Money_Pits⠀⇛ The 13-metre, 500-tonne, reactor pressure vessel arriving last month at Hinkley Point C. It was built at the notorious and scandal- ridden Le Creusot forge. The unfinished nuclear plant is shaping up to be the most expensive in history. (Photo: EDF) Oops sorry. That two-reactor nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point C you thought would cost $19 billion? It’s going to cost $26 billion now. Actually, make that $35 billion. Wait, sorry, no, the actual number is closer to $40 billion. When will it be ready for operation? Um, well, currently says French contractor, EDF, maybe 2027? Ish? # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Liquid_Gas_Industry_Fights_to_Weaken_EU Climate_Plans_Ahead_of_Key_Vote⠀⇛ This story is part of a DeSmog series on the influence wielded by the gas lobby in Europe and was developed with the support of Journalismfund.eu Liquid gas companies are casting themselves as champions of rural communities in a bid to weaken proposals to slash the carbon emissions produced by heating Europe’s buildings, according to dozens of lobbyist emails seen by DeSmog.  # ⚓ uni California ☛ UC_San_Diego_Receives_$15M Cryptocurrency_Donation,_Largest_for_Research_on Airborne_Pathogens⠀⇛ Researchers at the University of California San Diego will have the opportunity to dive deeper into such questions thanks to a $15 million gift made in USD coin (USDC) by the Balvi Filantropic Fund, directed by Vitalik Buterin, founder of one of the world’s leading blockchain networks, Ethereum.

This war has been going on for decades, with no end in sight.  Though there have been changes, and some small, positive gains in habitat outside of Yellowstone, other elements of bison mismanagement are growing out of control.  In addition to Yellowstone’s senseless capture-for-slaughter operations, state and especially tribal hunts are creating a killing frenzy whenever wild bison attempt to migrate into Montana, particularly in the Gardiner Basin. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Fish_Killing_Mania:_Australia’s_War Against_the_Common_Carp⠀⇛ The scene is unforgettable and unforgivable: an elected official, the deputy prime minister of Australia, cutting loose about a fish species introduced into the country by his ancestors, and demanding their annihilation.  During the near-lunatic display by Barnaby Joyce, even his own colleagues betrayed embarrassment and alarm at the full-throated shrieks of “carp, carp”.  With crazed eyes and crimson face, Joyce went on to assure fellow parliamentarians that viral weapons will be deployed against the common carp, otherwise known as Cyprinus carpio.  The cannonade of ecological warfare had been announced, though preparations for the war had long been in progress. In 2017, the Sydney Morning Herald ran a piece befitting the great terror pieces that fret and agitate at the unknown and unseen.  “Today no one really knows how many are in the rivers of our eastern states and particularly the Murray-Darling, but if you were to say 10 million, few aquatic scientists would contradict you.” # § Overpopulation⠀➾ # ⚓ ABC ☛ Skyrocketing_bills_the_latest_concern_in Jackson_water_crisis⠀⇛ Jackson residents have been reporting irregularly high water bills, with multiple households telling ABC Jackson affiliate WAPT that their bills are doubling, even quadrupling, in any given month. Officials are aiming to establish a rate structure that enables the utility to run solely on local revenue sources and no longer require assistance from the federal government, Ted Henifin, the Department of Justice-appointed interim manager of the Jackson Water System, told community members during a town hall on Tuesday. Rate setting in the U.S. is a challenge because utility companies around the country don’t necessarily “charge what water’s worth,” rather setting prices for what is affordable for the lower 20% of socioeconomic demographics, Henifin said, adding that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers a household “stressed” if it is spending more than 4.5% of its income on its water and sewer bill. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ ‘You_Are_Gambling_With_People’s_Lives’: Warren_Rips_Powell_Over_Job-Killing_Rate_Hikes⠀⇛ Sen.

He also says interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve are making things worse for the Global South, as the cost of borrowing rises for many countries already struggling with debt. Stiglitz is a Nobel Prize-winning economist, Columbia University professor and former chair of the Council of Economic Advisers. He is also currently the chief economist of the Roosevelt Institute. His latest book is titled People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent.

His new book is titled Win Every Argument: The Art of Debating, Persuading, and Public Speaking. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Be_Obi-dient?⠀⇛ Peter Obi, a candidate for Nigeria’s Presidential election, is by no definition a radical. Bernie Sanders, who was a candidate for the United States Presidency, was only a radical by his own definition. The issue I always had with Bernie was that he wasn’t radical enough (what does this even mean?) but more so that he never tried to win and therefore was not a relevant force in politics. There is an argument that American politics are higher stakes than Nigerian politics. Marxists have attempted to make the argument that socialism must start in the most developed bourgeois democracies. But there are a couple of problems for the United States. The US is what I call the last second-world country. It has unchecked access to markets and can spend without consequence thanks to the supremacy of its military and therefore its currency. However it has no functioning government and any crisis whether that be toxic trains, guns, police murder, drug prices, college prices or polluted water, cannot and will not be solved by the government. The solution is to buy and work more and turn away from politics because there is no left represented. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Elon_Musk’s_Vision_Of_Trust_&_Safety:_Neither Safe_Nor_Trustworthy⠀⇛ Even as Elon first made his bid for Twitter, we highlighted just how little he understood about content moderation and trust & safety. And, that really matters, because, as Nilay Patel pointed out, managing trust & safety basically is the core business of a social media company: “The essential truth of every social network is that the product is content moderation.” But, Elon had such a naïve and simplistic understanding (“delete wrong and bad content, but leave the rest”) of trust & safety that it’s no wonder advertisers (who keep the site in business) have abandoned the site in droves. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Watchdog_Files_FEC_Complaint_That_Fox_News_Broke Election_Laws,_Lied_for_Trump⠀⇛ # ⚓ Axios ☛ The_Senate_is_entering_the_chat_on_TikTok⠀⇛ Sens.

Many initially eyed the domestic market, before the covid-19 pandemic and China’s draconian response to it forced them to look abroad for growth, says Jim Fields, a marketer who works with Chinese brands in America. Companies such as Shein, Temu and TikTok may grab the headlines but hundreds of Chinese firms have been making similar inroads in America, Europe and Japan—using similar strategies. # ⚓ ABC ☛ What_to_do_if_you’re_concerned_you_might_be_laid off⠀⇛ The job market in the U.S. remains strong overall, but recent high-profile layoffs at technology and media companies and predictions of a recession later this year have raised concerns about job security # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ Ministers_activating_auto-delete_on their_WhatsApp_messages⠀⇛ Move raises concerns that policy could be being made behind the scenes with no public record and against transparency rules # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Ex-Tweep_mocked_by_Musk_for_asking_if he’d_actually_been_fired⠀⇛ Haraldur Thorleifsson (a.k.a., Halli), said in a tweet yesterday that his work computer was locked nine days ago with the group of roughly 200 Twitter employees laid off at the end of February.

Zuckerberg has dubbed 2023 Meta’s “year of efficiency,” and the company has been communicating that theme to employees during performance reviews, which were completed last week, the people said. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Twitter_employee_seeks_clarification_from Elon_Musk_on_employment_status,_finds_out_he’s_been_sacked⠀⇛ Hours later, Thorleifsson said he was formally told that he had been fired. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Biden_Has_Gotten_a_Lot_Done._Have_Voters Noticed?⠀⇛ Fresh off a surprisingly successful and confrontational State of the Union address that doubled as a preview of his reelection campaign, President Joe Biden launched a national tour to tout some signature projects in his landmark infrastructure bill. He presided over ribbon- cutting ceremonies for multimillion-dollar initiatives to restore bridges and highways and to phase in fleets of electric buses. All the while, he chided Republican political leaders for blocking progress on these key arenas of national economic renewal. # ⚓ Site36 ☛ Schengen_Information_System_launched_in_new version⠀⇛ The EU Commission today launched the updated Schengen Information System (SIS).

In the second of two broadcasts about Sharon Dickson, WSB credits itself with influencing the city of Sandy Springs, Georgia to reverse the ruling of Municipal Court Judge Sharon Dickson. After Dickson went to take another job in a different city, WSB broadcast CAIR’s demand that she be pushed out of that position as well. CAIR was not voicing an opinion; it was trying to get Dickson fired. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Is_Twitter_Only_Biased_Against_the_RIGHT?_(w/ Matt_Taibbi)⠀⇛ Is it fair to characterize Twitter’s bias as against the right and indifferent to the left given how little we know about which documents have been turned over by Elon Musk and why? # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Twitter_Suspends_Copyright_Holder_as_Musk Outlaws_‘Weaponization’_of_DMCA_(Updated)⠀⇛ In the midst of a fierce copyright dispute last evening, Twitter CEO Elon Musk intervened. He declared that accounts engaging in “repeated, egregious weaponization of DMCA on Twitter” will receive temporary suspensions. The problems began when a popular user tweeted a stunning video owned by a professional photographer, who responded by sending a DMCA takedown notice. That sounds straightforward, but this dispute is a lot more complex than that. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Elon’s_(Good?)_New_DMCA_Policy_Appears_To_Be_The Result_Of_Lots_Of_Confusion_&_Misunderstanding⠀⇛ On Monday, I saw Elon Musk tweet the following, and initially thought that he might have actually made a good policy decision for once, and planned to write up something about Elon doing something right (contrary to the opinion of some, I’m happy to give him credit when it’s due): # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Mass_protests_break_out_in_Georgia_after parliament_approves_first_version_of_‘foreign_agents’_bill_— Meduza⠀⇛ On March 7, Georgia’s parliament passed in the first reading a bill to establish a “foreign agents” registry. The bill, titled “On transparency of foreign influence,” received votes from 76 deputies and was opposed by 13, according to the news site Novosti-Gruzia. The proposed legislation would require all non-commercial legal entities and media agencies that receive more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to register as “foreign agents.” # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Drug_Use,_Harm_Reduction,_and_YouTube Hyperventilators⠀⇛ Any criticism of left-leaning YouTube commentators should begin with a basic endorsement of civil liberties. Many people now get much of their news and views from social media, and not from the older legacy media of newspapers and TV broadcasts. Since the barriers to participation in new media are less restrictive, the YouTube shows and platforms (ranging across a wide political spectrum) can be considered as a real extension of free speech and democracy. Left commentators on YouTube periodically raise alarms about the algorithmic bias on YouTube that favors right wing outlets and broadcasters. The algorithm is not a mysterious ghost in the machine, but is instead an outcome of dominant corporate interests and investments. Indeed, the left leaning YouTubers often criticize right wing disinformation campaigns, offering their own commentary as a more truly informative counterbalance. They encourage viewers to press the Like button, of course, and to become not just subscribers but financial donors. # ⚓ Michael Geist ☛ A_Tax_on_Freedom_Of_Expression:_Report Suggests_Bill_C-18_Could_Be_Expanded_Even_Beyond_Mandated Payment_for_Links⠀⇛ Google was scheduled to appear before the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage yesterday to discuss Bill C-18 and its test of the removal of links to Canadian news services for a small percentage of its users, but the meeting was postponed due to technical difficulties. That ensured that the big Bill C-18 news of the day did not come from the hearing, but rather from an exceptional Ricochet Media article featuring comments from Senator Paula Simons that should heighten concern about the government’s intent with Bill C-18. Senator Simons, a longtime journalist and Trudeau appointee to the Senate, raises many concerns with the bill (and a great line that “honest to god, I feel that this is written by people who have never used the Internet”), but I think this is the key passage, which opens the door to targets beyond Google and Facebook: [...] # ⚓ Vice Media Group ☛ Twitter’s_Most_Important_Anti-Censorship Tool_Is_Currently_Dead⠀⇛ “​​As of yesterday, March 6th, 2023, the certificate has expired – meaning that the onion site is no longer available seemingly with no plans to renew,” Pavel Zoneff, director of strategic communications at the Tor Project told Motherboard in an email. The Tor Project is the non-profit that helps maintain the Tor anonymity network. Users can route their internet activity through Tor to bypass censorship, such as when domestic internet service providers block access to certain websites. Website administrators can also create Tor onion services—also generally known as sites on the dark web—which provide extra protections to Tor users. Facebook launched its own Tor onion service in 2014. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ RFERL ☛ HRW,_Amnesty_Urge_Georgian_Lawmakers_To_‘Firmly Reject’_‘Foreign_Agent’_Law⠀⇛ [...] Critics say it mirrors Russian legislation that has restricted the work of independent journalists and democratic institutions there.

To the sound of thrilling fast-paced music, it showed hundreds of detainees being transferred to a new “megaprison” officially named the Center for Confining Terrorism. Constructed last year to host the Central American country’s burgeoning prison population, it is the largest prison in the Americas, with capacity for 40,000 inmates. # ⚓ Shadowproof ☛ On_The_Long_Road_To_Organizing_A_Starbucks Union⠀⇛ In a word, the ongoing union organizing drive that has swept the coffee giant Starbucks can be described as ‘unprecedented.’ Never before has a mass unionization effort of this magnitude gripped a fast food company in the United States. The humble origins of the barista-led Starbucks Workers United can be found in the Rust Belt city of Buffalo. It is there where the nation-wide unionization effort was publicly launched in August 2021.  As Starbucks Workers United (SBWU) expands from shop to shop, workers face an onslaught of union busting tactics from the company. But union fever is spreading rapidly nonetheless as Starbucks workers at over 400 locations have filed petitions for union elections, with more planning to do so.  # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Under_Subpoena_Threat,_Starbucks_CEO Finally_Agrees_to_Testify_Before_Sanders’_Committee⠀⇛ Sen.

These groups pose a threat to the general public — deputies hoping to prove themselves worthy of gang membership routinely seek out violent encounters with the public, the investigation reports — as well as to the internal command-and-control structure of LASD. The gangs “undermine supervision, destroy public trust, are discriminatory, disruptive, and act contrary to … professional policing,” the report concludes. # ⚓ NBC ☛ Hundreds_of_sexual_deepfake_ads_using_Emma_Watson’s face_ran_on_Facebook_and_Instagram_in_the_last_two_days⠀⇛ In a Facebook ad, a woman with a face identical to actor Emma Watson’s face smiles coyly and bends down in front of the camera, appearing to initiate a sexual act. But the woman isn’t Watson, the “Harry Potter” star. The ad was part of a massive campaign this week for a deepfake app, which allows users to swap any face into any video of their choosing. # ⚓ The Washington Post ☛ Afghan_women_who_were_divorced_under prior_government_fear_for_their_status⠀⇛ A headline and a blurb on earlier versions of this article mischaracterized the status of some remarried women in Afghanistan by saying that Taliban law had voided thousands of divorces and that they had become outlaws as alleged adulterers. The new headline and blurb correct this error to specify that these remarried women fear arrest for adultery because their divorce proceedings under the previous Afghan government do not comply with the version of Islamic law adopted by the Taliban. The article has been revised to clarify that the Taliban has not declared that these prior divorces are void or that women who have remarried are committing adultery. Additional changes to the article modify a reference to potential imprisonment, making clear that a woman from western Afghanistan feared she could be jailed, and provide more detail on how judges and lawyers have quantified these cases. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Domestic_Terrorism_Charges_Against_Cop_City Demonstrators_Spur_Further_Protests⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Florida’s_Proposed_6-Week_Abortion_Ban_Could Threaten_Access_for_Entire_South⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Washington_State_Lawmakers_Push_Bills_to_Protect Out-of-State_Abortion_Seekers⠀⇛ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ In_First-of-Its_Kind_Legal_Challenge,_Texas Women_Say_State_Abortion_Ban_Endangered_Their_Lives⠀⇛ Five Texas women are scheduled to speak on the steps of the state Capitol on Tuesday about the life-threatening risks posed by the state’s abortion ban and their struggles to obtain necessary healthcare since it went into effect, a day after filing an unprecedented lawsuit challenging the law. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ 5_Texas_Women_Sue_State,_Saying_Abortion_Ban Nearly_Killed_Them⠀⇛ # ⚓ CNN ☛ Texas_sued_by_women_who_say_state’s_abortion_bans_put their_health_at_risk⠀⇛ Several women who say Texas’ abortion bans posed significant risks to their health have sued the state this week, opening a new front in the legal battles that have emerged since the Supreme Court overturned national abortion rights protections last year. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Women’s_History_Month_Is_Every_Month⠀⇛ # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ A_four-day_work_week⠀⇛ But I think even this is still too rigid under some circumstances.

VIP Products, Jack Daniels claims that a company infringed and diluted its trademarks by selling a parody dog toy that looks like a Jack Daniels whiskey bottle and has punny text like “BAD SPANIELS – 43% POO BY VOL.” The Ninth Circuit held that the defendant’s use of Jack Daniels’s trademarks was “expressive,” requiring application of what’s known as the Rogers test. Jack Daniels is now asking the Supreme Court to take the extreme position that no special test should apply to expressive uses of trademarks at all, essentially arguing that there’s no need to consider whether forbidding a trademark use would deprive someone of their First Amendment rights. We filed an amicus brief urging the Court to reject that argument, explaining why and how the law must protect our ability to use trademarks to critique and comment on their owners and the things they represent. In most trademark cases, courts apply a set of six to ten factors meant to assess the likelihood that consumers will be confused—things like how well-known the plaintiff’s trademark is and how similar the plaintiff’s and defendant’s uses are. That’s consistent with the consumer protection purpose of trademark law: trademarks provide information about goods and services, so the law polices their use to prevent people from thinking they’re buying one thing but actually getting another. But there are a few problems with applying this standard test to parodies or other expressive uses of trademarks—i.e., cases where a trademark is being used to communicate something other than the source of a product. First, the test treats avoiding confusion as the only goal, without recognizing a competing interest in free expression. Second, certain factors may be unhelpful or awkward to apply to expressive uses, or lead to counterintuitive results. And third, the many subjective factors make the outcome unpredictable and difficult to resolve early in the case, which translates to uncertainty about your legal rights and expensive litigation. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Copyright_Fraud_Deployed_To_Silence Journalists_In_Equatorial_Guinea⠀⇛ The DMCA lends itself to abuse.

The way we play it these days, it’s almost more like a puzzle or co-op experience because of the first rule, which is that the person who came up with the secret should aim for something that will be discovered by question number 17 or thereabouts. If they find the secret a lot sooner, you came up with a too easy secret, and if they don’t find the answer within 20 questions, you came up with a too difficult secret. For that reason, you obviously should pick something that you believe they are aware of. # ⚓ Prototyping_a_personal_search_engine⠀⇛ With the current state of brokenness in commercial search engines, especially with the implosion of the commercial social media platforms we have an opportunity to re-think search on a more personal level. # ⚓ in_which_I_ponder⠀⇛ My favourite library from childhood still exists but has been refurbished so many times there’s almost nothing left that child-me would recognise. The shape of the building silhouetted against orange sunset clouds, perhaps, but the sounds and the smells are all modern and entirely without soul. My old high school just got a new science building. To achieve that they leveled the old science building, the canteen (aka cafeteria), the hall, half the language department, and swallowed a huge chunk of the remaining green space. It took two years to put the new building in. Where did the kids do assembly or get their sausage rolls in the meantime? # ⚓ The_Tomb_Itself_Will_Erode_With_Time⠀⇛ The desiccating corpse below the ground is slowly emptied of water. It no longer needs its water or water from elsewhere. It’s DONE, vole! Watering the grave with the sun’s rays is a method of display, though also of outer decay, as the tomb itself will erode with time. I’ve probably mentioned it before, but when I kick it, just dump me in the river. Which river? Well, the closest will do. o § Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Re:_The_Joy_of_Contained_Systems⠀⇛ I tried the first incarnation of this chip. I do like a few things. It featured 8 cores, each had access to all external pins. Each had a set of clock/counter registers. There were no interrupts — one core would be dedicated to react to a specific event (edge on a pin). The assembly language I found nice. Someone even built a Forth for it. However, the software to assemble code was buried behind a proprietary software tool box, so I abandonded it at some point. It seems that the second incarnation does feature Forth and Assembly language, and open source tools, but I haven’t checked for quite some time. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Rave_reviews_for_new_Gemini_utilities:_NewsWaffle, Gemipedia,_Stargate⠀⇛ Over the past few months I’ve been getting increasingly reliant on a small corner of Gemini: the utilities by Acidus available at gemi.dev =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software. It’s like the World Wide Web but a lot lighter. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4091 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 03.08.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Links_08/03/2023:_FEX_2303_Tagged_and_Investing_in_RSS⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 8:04 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Audiocasts/Shows o Kernel_Space o Applications o Instructionals/Technical o Games o Desktop_Environments/WMs # K_Desktop_Environment/KDE_SC/Qt * Distributions_and_Operating_Systems o New_Releases o BSD o Fedora_Family_/_IBM o Debian_Family o Devices/Embedded o Open_Hardware/Modding o Mobile_Systems/Mobile_Applications * Free,_Libre,_and_Open_Source_Software o Events o GNU_Projects o Licensing_/_Legal o Programming/Development # Java o Standards/Consortia * Leftovers o Education o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Proprietary o Security # Integrity/Availability/Authenticity # Privacy/Surveillance o Defence/Aggression o Environment # Wildlife/Nature o Finance o AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics o Censorship/Free_Speech o Civil_Rights/Policing o Internet_Policy/Net_Neutrality o Monopolies # Patents # Software_Patents # Trademarks * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal o Technical * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ YouTube ☛ 2023-03-07_Garuda_Linux_230305_overview_| performance_&_beauty.⠀⇛ # ⚓ YouTube ☛ 2023-03-07_How_to_install_Pinta_on_Linux_Lite_6.2 [Ed: This is Mono; Microsoft rides this, so use GIMP or Krita instead]⠀⇛ # ⚓ YouTube ☛ 2023-03-07_Configuring_Xmonad_and_Polybar_(It’s Not_THAT_Difficult!)⠀⇛ # ⚓ YouTube ☛ 2023-03-07_Arch_Linux_Bricks_Dual_Boot_With_One Kernel_Change⠀⇛ # ⚓ YouTube ☛ 2023-03-07_Enterprise_Linux_Security_Episode_58⠀⇛ o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ [PATCH_RFC_00/18]_Rust_DRM_subsystem_abstractions_(& preview_AGX_driver)⠀⇛ # ⚓ LWN ☛ The_initial_posting_of_the_Apple_AGX_graphics_driver_ [LWN.net]⠀⇛ Asahi Lina has posted an initial version of a Rust- based driver for Apple AGX graphics processors; the posting includes a fair amount of Rust infrastructure for graphics drivers in general. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu Pit ☛ 2023-03-06_15_Best_File_Sharing_Software_For Linux⠀⇛ File sharing software increases the efficiency in both personal and business tasks. Here is the list of 15 file transfer software for Linux. # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ Machine_Learning_in_Linux:_InvokeAI_–_a Stable_Diffusion_Toolkit⠀⇛ Deep Learning is a subset of Machine Learning that uses multi-layers artificial neural networks to deliver state-of-the-art accuracy in tasks such as object detection, speech recognition, language translation and others. Think of Machine Learning as cutting-edge, and Deep Learning as the cutting- edge of the cutting-edge. An extremely interesting area of research relates to deep learning text-to-image models such as Stable Diffusion. These models can generate highly detailed images based on text descriptions. InvokeAI is a Stable Diffusion toolkit. It provides a streamlined process with various new features and options to aid the image generation process. The project has spent considerable effort finetuning the installation process as well as developing a convenient web interface and an interactive command line interface. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Forge ☛ Useful_Gedit_Plugins_for_Software Developers⠀⇛ Gedit offers almost all the features expected from a basic text editor, but if that’s not enough for some reason, you can add more functionality to it through plugins. This tutorial covers three of the most useful Gedit plugins for programmers. # ⚓ HowTo Forge ☛ Linux_Head_Command_Explained_for_Beginners_(5 Examples)⠀⇛ In this article, we will discuss the basics of the head command using some easy to understand examples. Sometimes, while working on the command line in Linux, you might want to take a quick look at a few initial lines of a file. For example, if a log file is continuously being updated, the requirement could be to view, say, first 10 lines of the log file every time. # ⚓ HowTo Forge ☛ Getting_Started_with_UFW_(Uncomplicated Firewall)_on_Ubuntu_22.04⠀⇛ UFW or Uncomplicated Firewall is an application to manage an iptables based firewall on Ubuntu. UFW is the default firewall configuration tool for Ubuntu Linux and provides a user-friendly way to configure the firewall, the UFW command is just like English language so the commands are easy to remember. The UFW firewall supports IPv4 and IPv6. # ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Manage_Apache_Server_Using_“Apache_GUI” Tool⠀⇛ Apache Web Server is one of the most popular HTTP servers on the Internet today, due to its open- source nature, rich modules, and features, and can run on almost major platforms and operating systems. While on Windows platforms there are some built-in development environments that provide a Graphical Interface to manage Apache configurations, such as WAMP or XAMPP, on Linux the entire management process must be performed entirely from the Command Line, in most cases. # ⚓ LinuxTechi ☛ How_to_Install_MiniKube_on_RHEL_8/Rocky_Linux 8/AlmaLinux_8⠀⇛ # ⚓ ZDNet ☛ How_to_create_a_bootable_Linux_USB_drive⠀⇛ Linux has evolved into one of the easiest operating systems on the market to use. The GUIs are (for the most part) so well-designed that anyone can use them. And for those who might be afraid of having to use commands… those days are long past. Sure, if you really wanted to make the most out of the raw power that comes with Linux, you could make use of the command line, but you don’t have to. That’s the point. # ⚓ 2023-03-07_How_to_change_hostname_in_Alpine_Linux?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ 2023-03-07_How_to_Change_User_Password_in Linux⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ 2023-03-07_How_to_Configure_Unattended Upgrades_on_Ubuntu_22.04_or_20.04⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ 2023-03-07_How_to_Install_GCC_Compiler_on Ubuntu 22.04_or_20.04⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ 2023-03-07_How_to_Install_or_Remove_Deb Files_on_Ubuntu_22.04_or_20.04⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ 2023-03-07_How_to_Install_Perl_on_Ubuntu 22.04_or_20.04⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ 2023-03-07_How_to_Install_Python_3.11_on Ubuntu_22.04_or_20.04⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ 2023-03-07_Pamac_Commands:_Essential_AUR Helper_Guide⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-03-06_How_to_install_the_Opera browser_on_Linux_Lite_6.2⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-03-06_How_to_install_Synthesizer_V Studio_Basic_with_Voice_Banks_on_a_Chromebook⠀⇛ o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ FEX ☛ FEX_2303_Tagged!⠀⇛ Oh jeez, another month already? I guess it’s time for another FEX-Emu release. Let’s pick a commit, spin the roulette wheel, and hope for the best! Surely that’s how releases work? # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Vangers_the_open_source_classic_from_1998 continues_to_be_upgraded⠀⇛ Vangers is a thoroughly weird racing role-playing adventure originally released in 1998, and it’s still being upgraded. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Dead_Cells:_Return_to_Castlevania_is_out now⠀⇛ Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania is a fresh content expansion for the popular rogue-lite, metroidvania inspired, action-platformer and it’s available now. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ An_early_March_round-up_of_Steam_Deck news⠀⇛ Do you feel like you’re falling behind on all the Steam Deck news? Here’s a round-up of a few things to keep you going. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Dota_2_removes_OpenGL_support,_new_hero Muerta_now_live,_big_update_due_in_April⠀⇛ The latest major update to Dota 2 from Valve has landed, bringing with it the removal of OpenGL support and the new hero Muerta. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Deal_with_a_UFO_crashing_into_a_small village_in_Kujlevka,_releasing_in_April⠀⇛ Kujlevka from developer Callback and publisher Crytivo is a quirky adventure about a flying saucer crash landing into a small distant Russian village. Now, they have a new trailer up and a release date teaser for sometime in April. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Norbert Preining ☛ End_of_support_and_updates_to_the KDE/Plasma_Debian_builds⠀⇛ It has been many years that I have provided up-to-date builds of KDE/Plasma for Debian stable, testing, unstable. It is now more than a year that I don’t use Debian anymore. Time to send this off. As already mentioned in some comments to various blog posts here, I will not invest more work into the current repositories. I invite anyone with interest in continuing the work to contact me. I will also write up a short howto guide on what I generally did and how I worked with this amount of packages. I feel sad about leaving this behind, but also relieved from the amount of work, not to speak of the insults (“You are a Nazi” etc) I often get from the Debian side. I also feel sorry for all of you who have relied on these packages for long time, have given valuable feedback and helpful comments. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ 2023-03-06_Qubes_OS_4.1.2-rc2_has_been_released!⠀⇛ o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Special_tcpdump_filtering_options for_OpenBSD’s_pflog_interface⠀⇛ As part of this, the OpenBSD tcpdump has some special additional filtering options that are useful for selecting interesting traffic on this pf logging interface. These are covered in pcap- filter; many or all of them can be found by searching for mentions of pf(4). Here are the most notable ones that I want to remember. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ 2023-03-06_How_to_use_Confidential Containers_without_confidential_hardware [Ed: Fake security, ploy by which to entice companies and governments to give their data over to outsourced services overseas]⠀⇛ # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ 2023-03-07_How_to_encrypt_Bash_shell variables_with_Ansible_Vault⠀⇛ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Flathub_in_2023,_they_have_some_big_plans⠀⇛ Robert McQueen, CEO of the Endless OS Foundation and GNOME Board President, has given a big update on what’s going on with Flathub. A lot of work has been going in towards updating Flathub from a list of apps, into a full build service and app store complete with payment processing. This includes developer verification, user accounts and more. # ⚓ LWN ☛ McQueen:_Flathub_in_2023_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ The Flathub organization (in the form of Robert McQueen) has posted a lengthy update on the state of Flathub and its plans for the coming year. # ⚓ Fedora Magazine ☛ Fedora_Linux_editions_part_3:_Labs⠀⇛ Everyone uses their computer in different ways, according to their needs. You may work as a designer, so you need various design software on your computer. Or maybe you’re a gamer, so you need an operating system that supports the games you like. Sometimes we don’t have enough time to prepare an operating system that supports our needs. Fedora Linux Lab editions are here for you for that reason. Fedora Labs is a selection of curated bundles of purpose-driven software and content curated and maintained by members of the Fedora Community. This article will go into a little more detail about the Fedora Linux Lab editions. You can find an overview of all the Fedora Linux variants in my previous article Introduce the different Fedora Linux editions. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ OMG! Linux ☛ Vanilla_OS_Ditches_Ubuntu_for_Debian⠀⇛ Well, there are a few reasons. Firstly, there’s clue in the distro’s name: vanilla. It wants to ship a desktop as close to source as possible, in this instance GNOME. Ubuntu makes a number of modifications to GNOME and unpicking those changes is, frankly too much darn effort, all considered. Secondly, Snaps. Vanilla OS devs aren’t that enamoured by them as they continue to have performance and integration quirks. Plus, some of Ubuntu’s deb-to-snap transitional packages (like Mozilla Firefox) get tangled up inside of their APX package manager. Thirdly, Vanilla OS wants to be in charge of its own release cadence, rather than kowtow to Ubuntu’s six-monthly drops. Switching over to Debian Sid gives it more control in this area. # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ SparkyLinux_2023.03_Rolling_Brings_Linux_Kernel 6.1_and_KDE_Plasma_5.27_LTS⠀⇛ Synced with the Debian Testing (Debian Bookworm) repositories as of March 6th, 2023, the SparkyLinux 2023.03 release is powered by Linux kernel 6.1.12 LTS and brings a new Debian repository that provides non-free-firmware, which should translate into better hardware support. The latest KDE Plasma 5.27 LTS desktop environment series is included as well in this release as a standalone live edition, along with the recently released KDE Frameworks 5.103 and KDE Gear 22.12.2 software suites. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Home_Assistant_compatible_“ESP_360_Remote” controls_infrared_and_433MHz_appliances_over_WiFi_ (Crowdfunding)⠀⇛ ESP 360 Remote is an ESP32-based IR and 433 MHz RF remote with built-in sensors used to control home appliances over WiFi and that also integrates with Home Assistant open-source home automation framework. The open-source hardware design is comprised of a mainboard with an ESP32-WROOM-32E module, temperature, humidity, and light sensors, and a board on the top with nine infrared LEDs, one IR receiver, as well as a 433 MHz (or 315 MHz) RF receiver and transmitter with the receivers used for learning the code from the remote controls. # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Zymbit_Secure_Module_features_Raspberry_Pi CM4⠀⇛ The new Secure Compute Module (SCM) Pro is an embedded platform built around the Raspberry Pi CM4 for IoT and edge applications requiring security features such as Verified Boot, Hardware Root of Trust, File System Encryption, Physical Tamper Sensors, etc. As of publication date, the SCM Pro is offered with the Pi CM4 with 8GB RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Taiwan News ☛ Anonymous_[cracks]_into_Chinese_weather balloon_that_flew_over_India_twice⠀⇛ At the time of publication, the defaced pages were still accessible online. However, in anticipation of the eventual removal of the vandalized pages, Anonymous has created archived versions of the defacement, balloons, and control panel. # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Theremin-like_Pico_H_musical_instrument⠀⇛ First of all, I had to DuckDuckGo what “theremin” means. To save some of you the same administrative task, I can tell you that it’s named after the person who invented it in 1928 — someone called Leon Theremin — and it’s that eerie-sounding instrument you play by moving your hands near it without touching it. So, yeah. One of those metal sticks that people wave their hands around rhythmically to coax sound out of. For my money, it’s as close to wizardry as the music world gets. # ⚓ Adafruit ☛ Using_LoRaWAN_on_RP2040-based_microcontrollers with_a_Semtech_SX1276_#LoRa_#Rasio_#RP2040⠀⇛ pico-lorawan is a library to enable LoRaWAN communications on a Raspberry Pi Pico or any RP2040 based board using a Semtech SX1276 radio module. # ⚓ OpenSource.com ☛ Own_your_cloud_with_NextcloudPi_on_the Raspberry_Pi⠀⇛ You can now say goodbye to big commercial cloud providers and manage your appointments, contacts, and other data in your own home network. Install NextcloudPi on your Raspberry Pi in less than 30 minutes, synchronize your mobile devices with your own Nextcloud, and gain total digital sovereignty and privacy! I remember when the first Raspberry Pi hit the market in 2012. My Linux friends and I were absolutely thrilled: a tiny computer, available for little money, but with enough computing power to be useful. It has a fully-fledged Linux system running on it, too! We started all sorts of DIY projects, set up media centers, web servers, blogs, control centers for our smart homes, and even a monitoring solution for bee hives. Last year in December, I decided to install and run my own cloud on the Raspberry Pi. After some digging around, I settled on NextcloudPi, a ready- made instance of Nextcloud. The open source software runs not only on the Raspberry Pi, but on many other single-board computers and other operating systems. This article shows how to install and configure NextcloudPi. I also explain how to secure the system and talk about different backup and restore methods. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ This_old_Android_phone_grabs_its_last update_after_seven_years_of_software_support⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gizmo China ☛ Best_Music_Streaming_Apps_for_Android_2023⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Headlines ☛ The_top_mobile_casino_apps_for_Android phones_and_tablets⠀⇛ # ⚓ Express ☛ Google_issues_urgent_Android_alert!_Download_this critical_upgrade_NOW_|_Express.co.uk⠀⇛ # ⚓ WCCF Tech ☛ Google_I/O_2023_Release_Date_Finally_Confirmed, Pixel_8,_Android_14,_and_More_Announcements_Coming⠀⇛ # ⚓ Express ☛ Google’s_biggest_secret_about_your_next_Android has_just_been_unveiled_|_Express.co.uk⠀⇛ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Toradex_Verdin_AM62_–_An_entry-level_Sitara AM623/AM625_SoM_for_Industry_4.0,_Smart_Cities,_Healthcare…_– CNX_Software⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gizmo China ☛ Only_Two_Android_Phones_in_the_Top_Ten_Best- Selling_Smartphones_List_Globally⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gizmo China ☛ 7_Years_of_Continuous_Android_Updates,_This Smartphone_Kept_Its_Promise⠀⇛ # ⚓ Tom’s Guide ☛ Google_I/O_2023:_Official_date,_Android_14 and_potential_hardware_announcements_|_Tom’s_Guide⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Sun ☛ Billions_of_Android_phone_owners_urged_to_make ’4-step_check’_–_don’t_risk_leaving_it_too_late_|_The_US Sun⠀⇛ # Ghacks ☛ # ⚓ Lifewire ☛ How_to_Fix_Wi-Fi_Calling_Not_Working_on Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ GO Media ☛ All_the_New_Android_Features_Coming_in_the_Next Pixel_Drop⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Sun ☛ Billions_of_Android_phone_owners_urged_to_make ’4-step_check’_–_don’t_risk_leaving_it_too_late_|_The_US Sun⠀⇛ # ⚓ Tom’s Guide ☛ Google’s_March_Android_update_patches_two critical_flaws_—_download_it_right_now_|_Tom’s_Guide⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ OpenSource.com ☛ The_power_of_sisterhood_and_allyship_in_open source⠀⇛ We are used to the term “career change” as if it were a break in a trajectory. But in my experience, that’s never really the case. A person cannot erase themselves from what they consist of, and this richness of diverse backgrounds resulted in several breaking points. Individual journeys, often far from computer science, hold accountability for the social implication of technology and bring richness and creativity to the technology industry. Being an artist has always given me freedom and opened doors to explore several fields, from architecture to sciences. A great part of my artistic experience took place in hackerspaces in Brazil, surrounded by the Free/ Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) ideology, the open free/libre culture of sharing. Nowadays, for several ideological and practical reasons that do not fall within the scope of this article, the most common term is “open source”. And lucky for me, my career switch started with an internship in an Open Source Program Office (OSPO), which made this switch feel — almost — like home. o ⚓ OpenSource.com ☛ 8_examples_of_influential_women_in_tech⠀⇛ A journey through open source is rarely something you do alone. Your hobby, career, and your life has been affected by others in the tech space, and statistically some of those people have been women. That’s one of the many reasons International Women’s Day exists, and it’s a good excuse to reflect upon the women who have inspired your career in tech. We asked Opensource.com contributors for their thoughts. o § Events⠀➾ # ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ 2023-03-07_Swiss_PGDay_2023_Announcement⠀⇛ # ⚓ Joe Brockmeier ☛ Joe_Brockmeier:_Why_your_talk_was_rejected (or_maybe_accepted)⠀⇛ I had a few snarky opening lines for this post, but decided that was a bit unfair. Let’s just say that people get very impassioned about tech events and getting talks accepted. If you’re on the conference committee, it can be… intense, sometimes, managing the needs of an event versus people’s deep interest in being one of the speakers. I thought it’d be helpful to give some insights into why talks are and aren’t accepted. o § GNU Projects⠀➾ # ⚓ GNU ☛ a2ps_@_Savannah:_a2ps_4.15_released_[stable]⠀⇛ I am delighted to announce the first stable release of GNU a2ps since 2007! This release contains few user-visible changes. It does however contain a lot of changes “under the hood”: code clean-up, etc. Therefore, it’s likely that there are new bugs. Do report them to Savannah[1], or the mailing list please! A big thank-you to all those who tested pre-releases, and especially to Bruno Haible’s tireless work to promote portability: he both tested a2ps on many systems and found lots of minor portability problems, and advised on their solution (often, gnulib code that he wrote). Remaining problems are of course mine! [1] https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/ a2ps Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature: https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/a2ps/a2ps- 4.15.tar.gz https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/a2ps/a2ps- 4.15.tar.gz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html Here are the SHA1 and SHA256 checksums: 807667f838c29bde73bb91fae60ef98826bd460e a2ps-4.15.tar.gz pa3FqSIvmESKV8a162lItydD6vmjDGehNN8ILpnHZlI a2ps-4.15.tar.gz The SHA256 checksum is base64 encoded, instead of the hexadecimal encoding that most checksum tools default to.

This includes user-defined paper sizes when using libpaper 2. It is still possible to define custom margins using “Medium:” specifications in the configuration file, and the one size defined by a2ps that libpaper does not know about, Quarto, is retained for backwards compatiblity, and as an example. * Documentation – Remove some obsolete explanations. – Reformat –help output consistently to 80 columns. – Some English fixes. * Bug fixes: – Avoid a crash when a medium is not specified; instead, use the default libpaper size (configured by the user or sysadmin, or the locale default). – Fix some other potential crashes and compiler warnings. – Fixes for security bugs CVE-2001-1593, CVE-2015-8107 and CVE-2014-0466. – Minor bugs fixed. * Predefined delegations: – Remove support for defunct Netscape and proprietary Acrobat Reader. – Add lpr wrapper for automatic detection of different printing systems, including CUPS support. * Encodings: – Use libre fonts for KOI-8. – Composite fonts support. * Build – Update build system to more recent autotools and gettext versions. – Build man pages in a simpler and more robust way. – Document runtime dependencies. – Minor code quality improvements. – Minor tidy up and removal of obsolete code. – Require libpaper. – Remove OS/2 support. o § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ # ⚓ Slashdot_article_with_some_new_news_about_Daryl⠀⇛ Last reply by swmech on Mon, 06 Mar 2023 20:36:13 +0000 # ⚓ David Rosenthal ☛ On_Trusting_Trustlessness⠀⇛ The basic problem here is that an “upgradable smart contract” isn’t worth the bits it is printed on, because the terms of the “contract” can be changed after the parties agreed to it by the owner of the “contract”, or by the owners of any “upgradable smart contracts” used by the “contract” in question, who may or may not be one of the parties. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Bruno Rodrigues ☛ Software_engineering_techniques_that_non- programmers_who_write_a_lot_of_code_can_benefit_from_—_the DRY_WIT_approach⠀⇛ But all these tools, frameworks and techniques boil down to two acronyms that I like to keep in my head at all times: DRY: Don’t Repeat Yourself; WIT: Write It Down. DRY WIT: by systematically avoiding not to repeat yourself and by writing everything down, projects become well-tested, well-documented, trustworthy and reproducible by design. Why is that? # ⚓ Embedded_Linux_processor_tap_microcontrollers_for_code, peripherals⠀⇛ STMicroelectronics has launched a new family of Linux microprocessors based on ARM’s Cortex-A core for embedded applications such as displays. # ⚓ Qt ☛ 2023-03-07_Qt_for_Android_Storage_Updates⠀⇛ # § Java⠀➾ # ⚓ What’s_the_Difference_Between_Boolean_and AtomicBoolean_in_Java⠀⇛ In Java, both Boolean and AtomicBoolean are used to represent Boolean values, but they have different characteristics and use cases. Boolean is a wrapper class that represents a Boolean value as an object. o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ Tim Kadlec ☛ Investing_in_RSS⠀⇛ Opening up my RSS reader, a cup of coffee in hand, still feels calm and peaceful in a way that trying to keep up with happenings in other ways just never has. There’s more room for nuance and thoughtfulness, and I feel more in control of what I choose to read, and what I don’t. The act of spending that time in those feeds still feels like a very deliberate, intentional act. Curating a set of feeds I find interesting and making the time to read them feels like an investment in myself. # ⚓ Idiomdrottning ☛ RFC_2646’s_Format=Flowed_and_inline quoting⠀⇛ Format=Flowed is otherwise a fantastic format. It solves a lot of email’s problems. The next section (4.2) in the RFC is still great. Non–space-stuffed lines starting with a > are marked as quoted. Perfect, that’s exactly what we want. In other words, I am not suggesting changing the format or the on-the-wire protocol. I’m only talking about a way to make generating this format more palatable for text area based interfaces. Email is a text format and having to reach for a formatting menu or toolbar just to mark some text as quoted falls apart pretty quickly, as does trying to interleave your own responses in between the quoted lines. Those interfaces work for top- posting and bottom-posting, and that’s great, but they make inline-posting impossible. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ YLE ☛ Catalytic_converter_theft_skyrockets_in_Finland⠀⇛ Where the stolen catalytic converters end up is unclear. o ⚓ Monday Note ☛ CEOs_Writing_Three_Envelopes⠀⇛ There are many other examples of easy money toxicity, but we need to turn to something even more poisonous: large organizations’ loss of meaning. And the resulting hardening of corporate blood vessels. We can illustrate loss of meaning as follows: in a healthy organization, everyone from the friendly receptionist to the CEO can concisely say what the company’s mission is. Even drunk at three am under the rain, the person can utter words such as “we organize the world’s information” or “we make personal computers”. Once a group of people loses that ability, that cohesive force, psychic energy is rerouted towards individual power acquisition and preservation. Now, compound this with easy money and grandiose projects and you get dangerously inward-looking organizations. There, the rules are clear: advancing one’s rank and compensation demands getting more staff on one’s project. A sad and unfortunately not completely obsolete story of organization toxicity is aptly told in a Vanity Fair article titled Microsoft’s Lost Decade. To be fair to Microsoft’s current leadership, company culture has considerably evolved and the Vanity Fair piece should just be seen as more generally describing ailments that threaten large rich organizations. o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ IDC_gets_even_more_pessimistic_about_PC_sales⠀⇛ IDC now predicts 403.1 million units will be shipped this year instead of the 429.5 million it forecast at the end of 2022. Tablets are expected to make up 142.3 million of these shipments and traditional form factors will account for the rest. o ⚓ Sumana Harihareswara ☛ The_Memex_Mirage⠀⇛ And I’d add: here, be your own librarian and archivist for a dizzying variety of formats, media, interpersonal communications platforms, etc. so you can immediately re- find that resource you ran across yesterday or ten years ago. Argh! o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ uni Michigan ☛ Community_relishes_opportunity_to_meet_Ono at_reception⠀⇛ President Santa J. Ono’s approachability was on full display at a community reception, where a long line of people waited for the opportunity to meet the new president and share a few words. # ⚓ uni Michigan ☛ In_his_inauguration,_President_Ono_calls_for era_of_change_at_U-M⠀⇛ In his inauguration as U-M’s 15th president, Santa J. Ono declared, “Today, it is time for a new vision, a new punctuation, a new opening of possibilities for the University of Michigan. It is time to dare great challenges and dream bold dreams.” # ⚓ Alex Ewerlöf ☛ A_TPM_and_a_Staff_Engineer_walk_into_a_bar⠀⇛ The goal is to give a bit of exposure to each other’s audience about what the other role is about, what are the challenges and opportunities for collaboration and how the two roles complete each other. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Nigeria’s_education_crisis:_20_million_children out_of_school⠀⇛ Around 20 million Nigerian children do not go to school, according to figures from UNICEF, one of the highest numbers of out-of-school children anywhere in the world. [...] o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Dennis Crouch/Patently-O ☛ CHIPS_and_Science_Act [Ed: Misleading names for bailouts. Taxpayers again being robbed to save failing billionaires.]⠀⇛ The $280 billion CHIPS and Science Act is designed to use federal grants and investments to encourage domestic production of advanced semiconductors and will also fund research into further advanced technologies, including further improved microchips; quantum computing; and artificial intelligence (AI).  Although many advanced chips are still primarily designed in the US, almost all of them are currently manufactured abroad (primarily in Taiwan and Korea). And, China is rapidly developing its own capabilities for advanced chip manufacture. # ⚓ OpenSource.com ☛ What_clown_developers_need_to_know_about hardware⠀⇛ It’s easy to forget the progress that people in tech have made. In the early 2000s, most local user groups held regular install fests. Back then, to configure a single machine to run Linux well, we had to know intimate details about hardware and how to configure it. Now, almost twenty years later, we represent a project whose core ideal is to make getting a single computer to run Linux as easy as an API call. In this new world, operators and developers alike no longer have to worry about the hardware in their servers. This change has had a profound impact on the next generation of operators and developers. In the early days of computer technology, you had to put your hands on the hardware frequently. If a computer needed more memory, you just added it. As time passed, technology also evolved in big ways. This ended up moving the operator further from the hardware. What used to be a trip to the data center is now a support ticket to have remote hands on the hardware. Eventually, hardware was disposed of altogether. Instead, you now summon and destroy “servers” with simple commands and no longer have to worry about hardware. Here is the real truth: hardware exists because it is needed to power clouds. But what is a cloud, really? # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ This_Retro_Game_Console_Puts_Vacuum_Fluorescent Display_To_Good_Use⠀⇛ Small in size, low-resolution, blocky segments, and a limited color palette — all characteristics of the typical vacuum fluorescent display, any of which would seem to disqualify them as the display of choice for a lot of applications. But this is Hackaday, and we don’t really pay much attention to what we’re supposed to do, but rather to what’s fun and cool to do. So when we see something like a VFD game console, we just have to sit up and take notice. # ⚓ Michael Urspringer ☛ Lenovo_ThinkPad_X1:_USB-C_ports_no longer_working⠀⇛ I then did a battery reset (there is a small hole at the bottom of the ThinkPad which you need to press with a small pin) and voila: Everything worked again … # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Probably_The_World’s_Most_Expensive_Bar_Bot⠀⇛ Bar bots, or robotized bartenders, are a fun feature of events in our community, because there’s nothing like a cocktail untouched by human hand. Usually they have a row of bottles and a slide on which you put the glass, but [SecurityWriter] relates a tale of an altogether much grander affair. Given a weekend with a group of friends and an enterprise-grade IBM tape library robot, they did what any sensible engineer would do. They turned it into a bar bot. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Hacking_A_€15_8051-Based_Portable_Soldering_Iron With_Custom_Firmware⠀⇛ With soldering irons being so incredibly useful, and coming on the heels of the success of a range of portable, all-in-one soldering irons from the likes of Waveshare and Pine64, it’s little wonder that you can get such devices for as little as 10 – 15 Euro from websites like AliExpress. Making for both a great impulse buy and reverse-engineering target, [Aaron Christophel] got his mittens on one and set to work on figuring out its secrets. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ The Scientist ☛ 2023-03-06_Meningitis_Bacteria_Trigger Headaches,_Then_Sneak_Into_the_Brain⠀⇛ # ⚓ CNN ☛ US_to_relax_Covid_testing_restrictions_for_travelers from_China_as_soon_as_Friday⠀⇛ The US is planning to relax Covid-19 testing restrictions for travelers from China as soon as Friday, a source familiar told CNN Tuesday, citing a decline in Covid cases, hospitalizations, and deaths and more data surrounding the variants that were circulating in China. # ⚓ Vice Media Group ☛ ‘We_Had_All_the_Issues_That_Town_Has:’ East_Palestine_Is_Not_the_First_or_Last_Derailment_Disaster⠀⇛ In many ways, Sibley was a preview of East Palestine, Ohio, the train derailment that sparked an evacuation and widespread concerns about air, water, and soil contamination. Less than two years before international media focused its attention on the small Ohio town, Sibley experienced many of the same hardships: forced evacuations, contaminated soil and water, physical symptoms among some residents, and an uncertain future. But the biggest difference, as Huls tells it, was not anything to do with the derailment itself, but the attention it got. The only news crews that showed up in Sibley were local outlets. # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ ‘Sick_and_Twisted’:_Women_Describe_Losing Pregnancies,_Nearly_Dying_Because_of_Texas_Laws⠀⇛ The case marks the first time that pregnant women themselves have challenged the state’s three abortion bans: a criminal ban that pre-dates Roe v. Wade, a trigger ban passed in anticipation of Roe being overturned, and Senate Bill 8, an effective ban on abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy. All three bans have exceptions for medical “emergencies,” but advocates say they are unclear and have resulted in “widespread confusion” over who and what qualifies. What happened to each of them sounds like, as Zurawski put it, the “sick and twisted plot to a dystopian novel — but it’s not.” # ⚓ Hollywood Reporter ☛ TikTok_Under_Fire_From_Bill_Backed_by White_House⠀⇛ The effort — led by Mark Warner, D-Va., the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and John Thune, R-SD, the Senate Republican whip — comes after Republicans on a House committee rammed through a bill on Wednesday that would effectively ban TikTok on mobile devices in the U.S over opposition from Democrats, who said that it could ensnare U.S. businesses that don’t pose a national security risk. The bipartisan bill introduced on Tuesday represents what could be the most achievable legislative solution to address concerns that the data TikTok collects on more than 100 million American users can be leveraged by the Chinese government to advance its interests. # ⚓ Vanity Fair ☛ Billie_Eilish_Says_She_Deleted_All_Social Media_Apps_Off_of_Her_Phone⠀⇛ The pop star recently revealed that she’s deleted all social media apps off of her phone as a way to protect her mental health. “I don’t look at it anymore,” she explained on an upcoming episode of the Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend podcast. “I deleted it all off my phone, which is such a huge deal for me. Cause, dude, you didn’t have the [Internet] to grow up with.” Eilish went on to explain in the preview clip, published Thursday, “For me, it was such a big part of–not my childhood, I wasn’t like an iPad baby, thank god–but honestly, I feel like I grew up in the perfect time of the [Internet] that it wasn’t so [Internet]-y that I didn’t have a childhood. I really had such a childhood, and I was doing stuff all the time.” # ⚓ Hearst Magazine Media, Inc ☛ Billie_Eilish_Says_She_Deleted All_Social_Media_From_Her_Phone:_‘I_Don’t_Look_at_It Anymore’⠀⇛ Eilish, by the way, isn’t the only celebrity who has recently discussed removing social media apps from her phone. Selena Gomez spoke to Vanity Fair about why TikTok is the only platform she has on her phone and how she has had her assistant post to her other platforms for years now. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Jason Scott ☛ Discord,_or_the_Death_of_Lore⠀⇛ I chose the life, it didn’t choose me. I could have walked away from it a long time ago, and I’ve certainly shifted my focus over the years. But I still hold the heft and halter, the one standing at the death of all things, and while it means a lot of moments of rescue and recovery, it also means knowing, looking across at that which thrives and bustles, the desiccation and destruction to come. The only part of the fog of the future that’s guaranteed is the moment it switches from theory to a wall of iron and then darkness. All this to say: Discord. # ⚓ Papers With Code ☛ More_than_you’ve_asked_for:_A Comprehensive_Analysis_of_Novel_Prompt_Injection_Threats_to Application-Integrated_Large_Language_Models⠀⇛ We are currently witnessing dramatic advances in the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). They are already being adopted in practice and integrated into many systems, including integrated development environments (IDEs) and search engines. The functionalities of current LLMs can be modulated via natural language prompts, while their exact internal functionality remains implicit and unassessable. This property, which makes them adaptable to even unseen tasks, might also make them susceptible to targeted adversarial prompting. Recently, several ways to misalign LLMs using Prompt Injection (PI) attacks have been introduced. In such attacks, an adversary can prompt the LLM to produce malicious content or override the original instructions and the employed filtering schemes. Recent work showed that these attacks are hard to mitigate, as state-of-the-art LLMs are instruction- following. So far, these attacks assumed that the adversary is directly prompting the LLM. In this work, we show that augmenting LLMs with retrieval and API calling capabilities (so-called Application-Integrated LLMs) induces a whole new set of attack vectors. These LLMs might process poisoned content retrieved from the Web that contains malicious prompts pre-injected and selected by adversaries. We demonstrate that an attacker can indirectly perform such PI attacks. Based on this key insight, we systematically analyze the resulting threat landscape of Application-Integrated LLMs and discuss a variety of new attack vectors. To demonstrate the practical viability of our attacks, we implemented specific demonstrations of the proposed attacks within synthetic applications. In summary, our work calls for an urgent evaluation of current mitigation techniques and an investigation of whether new techniques are needed to defend LLMs against these threats. # ⚓ Discord ☛ How_Discord_Stores_Trillions_of_Messages⠀⇛ Our requirements for our migration are quite straightforward: we need to migrate trillions of messages with no downtime, and we need to do it quickly because while the Cassandra situation has somewhat improved, we’re frequently firefighting. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Tuesday_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by Debian (kopanocore), Fedora (golang-github- projectdiscovery-chaos-client, rust-sequoia- octopus-librnp, rust-sequoia-sop, rust-sequoia-sq, and usd), Oracle (libjpeg-turbo and pesign), Red Hat (kernel, kernel-rt, kpatch-patch, osp-director- downloader-container, pesign, rh-mysql80-mysql, samba, and zlib), SUSE (mariadb), and Ubuntu (fribidi, gmp, linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux- lts-xenial, linux-azure, linux-azure-4.15, linux- kvm, linux-raspi2, linux-snapdragon, linux-raspi, nss, python3.6, rsync, systemd, and tiff). # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ [Repeat Earthly ☛ Remote_Code_Execution_as_a Service⠀⇛ We anticipated this type of workload when creating the initial version of Earthly compute. However, there was one issue that made container orchestration frameworks unsuitable: the workload. Earthly compute needs to execute customer-submitted Earthfiles, which are not dissimilar to Makefiles. Anything you can do on Linux, you can do in an Earthfile. This meant – from a security point of view – we were building remote code execution as a service (RCEAS). # ⚓ APNIC ☛ The_SSL_certificate_issuer_field_is_a_lie⠀⇛ Not so fast!

The move comes just days after the Dutch registrar was sued by Meta, which alleges the company ignores abuse complaints about phishing websites while monetizing traffic to those abusive domains. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ AlerNet ☛ How_doorbell_apps_are_‘an_ever-expanding web_of_surveillance’:_report⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-03-06_How_to_Control_a_Smart_Ceiling_Fan_With Alexa_or_Google_Home [Ed: Only crazy fools install microphones in their ceilings for corporation and governments to listen to]⠀⇛ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Markey,_Jayapal_Propose_Ban_on ‘Deeply_Disturbing’_Facial_Recognition_Use_by_Federal Agencies⠀⇛ As evidence mounts that facial recognition technology is racially biased and has led to wrongful arrests of people in the U.S., Sen. Ed Markey and Rep. Pramila Jayapal on Tuesday reintroduced their legislation to impose sweeping prohibitions on the use of the technology by federal agencies and entities that receive federal funding. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ ACLU_Obtains_Docs_Detailing_FBI, Pentagon_Development_of_Facial_Recognition_Tech⠀⇛ Thousands of records about U.S. government involvement in the research and development of facial recognition technology—unveiled due to an ACLU lawsuit and first reported on Tuesday by The Washington Post—fueled fresh calls for a federal ban on such tools. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ YLE ☛ Helsinki_Airport_to_toss_out_travel-sized_bottle requirements_by_summer [Ed: Abandoning security theatre at long last?

Reviewing recent developments in the Asia-Pacific region raises a tried-and-true historical lesson that bears repeating at this dangerous moment in history: When nations prepare for war, they are far more likely to go to war. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ uni Michigan ☛ Panel_offers_multidisciplinary_perspectives on_climate_crisis⠀⇛ Janet Napolitano, former University of California president, U.S. secretary of homeland security and Arizona governor, joined U-M sustainability experts for a panel discussion on climate action. # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ YLE ☛ Police_suspect_individual_of_gross_animal neglect_after_250_dead_cows_found_at_Ostrobothnian farm⠀⇛ The chief investigator says the neglect likely continued for a long time, but that it was difficult to tell exactly how long. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ 2023-03-06_Childcare_costs in_the_UK:_is_It_worth_returning_to_work?⠀⇛ # ⚓ India Times ☛ Facebook_parent_Meta_plans_thousands_more layoffs_as_soon_as_this_week⠀⇛ o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ YLE ☛ Lintilä_repeats_alcohol_abuse_denials⠀⇛ The Minister of Economic Affairs said that alcohol has not impacted his official duties, despite multiple reports surfacing this past week. # ⚓ YLE ☛ Justice_Chancellor_scolds_ex-Finance_Minister_over state_fund_misuse⠀⇛ The Chancellor said there was no reason to suspect Katri Kulmuni (Cen) had committed a crime. # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2023-03-07_TikTok’s_China_problem_has_a_potential_new solution⠀⇛ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2023-03-06_Musk’s_Twitter_is getting_worse⠀⇛ # ⚓ CNN ☛ Musk_mocks_Twitter_worker_with_disability_who_was unsure_if_he’d_been_laid_off⠀⇛ Elon Musk publicly scoffed at a Twitter employee’s uncertainty about whether he had been laid off in a recent round of cuts and spoke dismissively of the employee’s disability in a series of tweets Monday night. It’s the latest example of the billionaire openly antagonizing his company’s current and former staffers. # ⚓ CNN ☛ US_Capitol_Police_chief_rips_into_Tucker_Carlson_over ‘offensive’_use_of_January_6_footage⠀⇛ US Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger on Tuesday ripped into Fox News host Tucker Carlson over his commentary about footage from the January 6, 2021, insurrection that he aired Monday night, saying the host “cherry-picked” from the footage to present “offensive” and “misleading” conclusions about the attack. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ McConnell_Among_GOP_Senators_Calling ‘Bullsh*t’_on_Tucker_Carlson_Jan._6_‘Whitewash’⠀⇛ After Fox News’ Tucker Carlson falsely dismissed the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump as mostly nonviolent, numerous Republican senators including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday blasted the right-wing opinion host’s “whitewashing” of the deadly insurrection. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ They’re_Coming_Home!⠀⇛ The Montana Legislature just hit its half-way mark, called “transmittal,” in the 90-day session.

This was our first trip without Bernat, who stayed with my sister for a couple of nights. Everything went well on both sides and we had a nice relaxing time in this beautiful location, including a fancy lunch near Murcia. # ⚓ Unfuck_you_and_unfuck_your_unfucking_‘manifesto’⠀⇛ A spectre is haunting the left: the spectre of ‘manifestos’. Do we really need another ‘manifesto’? Particularly if, as is likely, it’s pretentious and totalising and unable to survive contact with the enemy, i.e. the real world? The world is a complex mess. Specific aspects of the world are a complex mess. There usually aren’t straightforward solutions. If you’re dogmatically pushing a specific Understanding and a specific Solution, you’re actually part of the problem. It’s not all basically reducible to biology, but nor is it all basically reducible to social constructs. o § Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ So_frustrated_that_I_have_no_one_to_scream_at,_which_may_be the_point_why_it’s_so_hard_to_get_ahold_of_customer representatives_at_tech_companies_these_days⠀⇛ I’m so frustrated right now. Bunny can’t receive email, and we have no idea why that is. All we get is that there have been too many attempts to log into her account and she needs to reset the password. Now, her account is with `bellsouth.net` which is now owned by AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraph) but email for customers is handled by Yahoo, but trying to track down a human being to talk to is a Herculean effort these days, and even *if* we get ahold of someone, can they even help? Forget the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, it appears these days that the left hand doesn’t even know it has fingers! =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
