Tux_Machines_Closing_the_Door_on_Twitter_Because_Twitter_is_Dead_(for_a_Lot of_People)⠀✐ Posted in Free/Libre_Software, GNU/Linux at 1:45 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Summary: Tux Machines recently joined millions of others who had already quit Twitter, including passive posting (fully or partly automated) As noted_here_some_days_ago, Tux Machines had officially left Twitter. Now we’re decommissioning what’s left and invite others to quit similarly. Tux Machines actually exited all forms of social control media as they’re volatile and generally a waste of time, never mind many_inherent_issues, especially for people who actively “engage” there. In fact, “momentum” is never a good excuse for anything, let alone staying in such nefarious sites… Tux Machines was there for 12 years and now it’s the end. A last reminder to leave: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Tux Machines_exit⦈_ Before deletion/deprecation, a local copy: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇An_archive_of_Tux_Machines⦈_ With updates stopping around the middle of May, the impact on visibility can be seen.

Linux notebook and since the company is on a sprint to update most of its laptops to the latest generation Intel Core CPUs, the Galago Pro has now received the 13th Gen Intel Core “Raptor Lake” i5-13500H and i7-13700H processors. While the 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13500H processor has 12 cores, 16 threads, 18MB cache, and up to 4.7 GHz clock speed, the 13th Gen Intel Core i5-13500H processor has 14 cores, 20 threads, 24MB cache, and up to 5.0 GHz clock speed. Both processors come with integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics, WiFi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Trend Oceans ☛ How_to_Install_PipeWire_on_Debian_11/12⠀⇛ Having some issues with PulseAudio, then install and replace it with PipeWire on your Debian machine. # ⚓ kubectl_get_secret:_Working_with_Secrets_in_Kubernetes⠀⇛ Kubernetes secrets are objects in the Kubernetes ecosystem designed to store and manage sensitive information, such as passwords, API tokens, SSH keys or other credentials. # ⚓ IT Pro Today ☛ How_To_Learn_Linux:_A_Comprehensive_Guide for_Beginners⠀⇛ IT professionals can advance their careers by learning Linux, a widely used and versatile operating system. # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ Alternatives_to_popular_CLI_tools:_sudo⠀⇛ This article spotlights alternative tools to sudo, a command which lets you execute a command as another user. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ KStar Development ☛ KStars_v3.6.5_is_Released⠀⇛ KStars v3.6.5 is released on 2023.06.01 for MacOS, Linux, and Windows. It’s a bi-monthly bugfix release with a couple of exciting features. An instance of the sub-exposure calculator can be started from a new ‘clock’ icon on the ekos capture screen. Multiple instances of the sub-exposure calculator can be started concurrently so that side-by-side comparisons can be made for variations in inputs. Data for camera read-noise will be provided through individual xml files which will be user maintained and published in a repository. These camera data files persisted within a folder “exposure_calculator” under user/local/share/kstars. The calculator includes the capability to download camera files from a repository. Upon the initial start of the calculator at least one camera data file download will be mandatory before the calculator can be instantiated. The intent is that camera data file names will be used to allow the calculator to select an appropriate camera data file based upon the device id of the active camera. (But some of the initial camera files were named using educated guesses, and will likely need to be re-named). * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Arch Family⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ First_Arch_Linux_ISO_Powered_by_Linux_Kernel 6.3_Is_Now_Available_for_Download⠀⇛ Arch Linux 2023.06.01 is out today as the ISO snapshot for June 2023 and it’s the first Arch Linux ISO release to be powered by the latest and greatest Linux 6.3 kernel series, which made its debut at the end of April 2023. Of course, Linux kernel 6.3 landed in Arch Linux’s stable repositories a couple of weeks after its initial launch, but it didn’t make it into last month’s ISO snapshot. The Arch Linux 2023.06.01 image ships with Linux kernel 6.3.5 by default, which arrived in the repos on May 30th. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntubuzz ☛ List_of_PPAs_for_Ubuntu_22.04_Jammy JellyfishList_of_PPAs_for_Ubuntu_22.04_Jammy_Jellyfish⠀⇛ This list is a collection of third-party software repositories better known as Personal Package Archives (PPAs) for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish.

The event physically reunited folks interested in the more technological aspects of the Wikimedia movement in person for the first time since_2019. The scope of the hacking projects include (but was not limited to) tools, wikipedia bots, gadgets, server and network infrastructure, data and other technical systems. # ⚓ Paul_Wise:_FLOSS_Activities_May_2023⠀⇛ § Focus This month I didn’t have any particular focus. I just worked on issues in my info bubble. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ ARIES_v3.0_development_board_features_India- made_VEGA_RISC-V_processor⠀⇛ ARIES v3.0 is an Arduino-inspired development board with the made-in-India 100 MHz THEAJS32 ASIC with the VEGA ET1031 RISC-V microprocessor, 256KB of internal SRAM, and various I/Os. # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Downloading_snapshots_and_creating_stable_R packages_repositories_using_r-universe⠀⇛ The new snapshot API lets you download a full copy of any CRAN-like repository on r-universe. # ⚓ The_Servo_Blog:_Adding_support_for_‘outline’_properties⠀⇛ As mentioned in our_last_blog_post, we’re currently working on selecting a layout engine for Servo between the original Layout 2013 and the newer Layout 2020. Our plan has been to start by implementing some small features in Layout 2020, to help us decide whether to switch to the new layout engine, and in turn tackle more complex features like floats. One of these features was ‘outline’, which is now supported in the new engine. A few days ago, we landed support for ‘outline’ and ‘outline-offset’. These properties are now fully supported in Servo, with two minor caveats: [...] * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Anchorage_Gave_Her_a_$1.6_Million_Grant_Despite History_of_Fraud⠀⇛ Two years ago, in May 2021, the Anchorage Assembly gave $1.6 million to a little-known charity that said it would help people find homes and addiction treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, local governments across the country were awash in money from a federal program known as the American Rescue Plan Act, or ARPA. Anchorage city leaders had $50 million to hand out to local applicants, and the money moved fast. The nonprofit House of Transformations received one of the largest awards. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Moon_Phase_Lamp_Uses_Rotating_Shade⠀⇛ The Moon has fascinated humanity for centuries. These days, though, it’s a trial and a bore to go outside and stare upwards to check on the natural satellite. Instead, why not bring the Moon to your bedside with this rotating phase lamp? # ⚓ The Nation ☛ How_Scientific_Publishers’_Extreme_Fees_Put Profit_Over_Progress⠀⇛ On April 17, the premier journal NeuroImage’s entire editorial team, comprising more than 40 scientists, resigned over the “unethical fees” charged by the journal’s academic publisher, Elsevier. With more than $2 billion in annual revenue, the publisher’s profit margin approaches 40 percent—rivaling that of Apple and Google. “Elsevier has become kind of like the poster child for evil publishing companies,” said neuroscientist Kristen Kennedy, one of the recently resigned senior editors. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Radars_scanning_crowded_skies_yet_no rule_on_space_junk⠀⇛ A regulatory black hole on space waste has been revealed as federal politicians quiz top officials about the recent budget. Australia is a signatory to all international space treaties, from exploration in outer space to the return of astronauts and objects, but there are no national regulations. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ We_May_Have_Misunderstood_Precisely_What Makes_Our_Brains_Tick⠀⇛ Time for a rethink. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Most_of_Us_Carry_a_Virus_Few_Have_Heard_of.

In the video after the break, [Teaching Tech] explores the basics of cams and how to use them in your projects. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Hackaday_Prize_2023:_This_Challenge_Makes_It_So Easy_Being_Green⠀⇛ This year’s Hackaday Prize is our first nice round number – number ten! We thought it would be great to look back on the history of the Prize and cherry-pick our favorite themes from the past. Last year’s entire theme was sustainable hacking, and we challenged you to come up with ways to generate or save power, keep existing gear out of the landfill, find clever ways to encourage recycling or build devices to monitor the environment and keep communities safer during weather disasters, and you all came through. Now we’re asking you to do it again. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Hackaday_Prize_2023:_Low_Cost_Braille_Embosser From_3D_Printer_Parts⠀⇛ The limited availability of texts transcribed to Braille and the required embossing equipment is a challenge world wide, but especially in poorer countries. To alleviate this problem, a team makers from in Cameroon have been developing BrailleRAP, an open source Braille embosser. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Can_Hobbyists_Bring_SGI’s_IRIX_OS_Back_To Life?⠀⇛ Irix was the operating system developed by Silicon Graphics from 1988 to 1998. The OS supported the company’s high-end workstations and served in many serious roles. The company cut off support for the UNIX-based OS in 2006, but now a diehard community is looking to bring the ancient codebase back to life. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Australian_PC_shipments_fell_19.1%_in_1Q2023: IDC⠀⇛ “The macroeconomic environment is currently experiencing high levels of inflation, and increasing interest rates, which is impacting PC demand from both commercial and consumer segments,” said Sharmishtha Bhatt, lead analyst PC Devices Research at IDC Australia. {loadposition sam08}HP remained the top-selling brand, taking 23.1% of the market with shipments down 4.1%, while Dell was second, down 9.3%. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ More_Ideas_For_Setting_Up_An_Electronics Workbench⠀⇛ Setting up an electronics work area is a highly personal and situational affair, with many interesting problems to be solved, and for many of us, significant budget constraints. The requirements for electronics development vary wildly depending upon the sort of work to be undertaken, but there is core equipment that many of us would consider a bare minimum for usability. [Badar Jahangir Kayani] is at the start of his career as an electrical engineer, and has documented the kitting out of his personal work areas for others to learn from. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ eEver_EJ523D_chip_enables_4Kp60_video capture_or_streaming_over_USB_3.2⠀⇛ eEver Technology, a subsidiary of eTron Technology, has launched the EJ523D 4Kp60 audio and video capture and streaming processor with a USB 3.2 interface, along with a reference platform currently showcased at COMPUTEX 2023. Over the last few years, we’ve covered some low-cost HDMI to USB 2.0 dongles that capture video up to 1080p30, followed by HDMI to USB 3.0 dongles handling up to 4Kp30, but the latest eEver EJ523D chip will be found in USB 3.2 adapters to capture at up to 4Kp60 resolution with H.265 encoding or 4Kp30 in the NV12 format. # ⚓ Bunnie Huang ☛ Winner,_Name_that_Ware_April_2023⠀⇛ The ware for April 2023 is an X-rite DTP22 spectrophotometer. This one almost made it through the month without being guessed, but congrats to cpresser for figuring it out in the last week! email me for your prize. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Toxins_and_and_monkey_DNA_and_SV40,_oh_my!_COVID-19 vaccines_vs._a_zombie_meme⠀⇛ I keep saying that, when it comes to specific claims made in the service of antivaccine misinformation, pseudoscience, and conspiracy theories, everything old is new again. Whether it’s claims that vaccines cause horrible outcomes that include death (as in “dying suddenly,” too), infertility, neurologic damage, cancer, and chronic disease, are loaded with “toxins” and foreign DNA and/or “fetal cells,” will “permanently alter your DNA,” and generally don’t work, old antivax tropes have been furiously repurposed against COVID-19 vaccines beginning even before the vaccines were granted emergency use approval (EUA) and released to the public in December 2020. (It’s been a coordinated campaign, right from the beginning, too.) One might argue that it’s easy to see the parallels in a more general manner, such as how the claim that COVID-19 vaccines cause young people to “die suddenly” of clots compared to old claims that HPV vaccines caused young women to “die suddenly” of…something, but sometimes the resurrected tropes can be bizarrely specific. Such is the case with the latest antivax claim that’s been circulating around the antivax crankosphere, most recently at quack tycoon Joe Mercola‘s website in an article entitled Green Monkey DNA Found in COVID-19 Shots. The strange specificity comes from how the narrative repeats an old narrative about the SV40 supposedly being found in COVID-19 vaccines. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Individual_Canadian_Cigarettes_to_Be Labeled_With_Health_Warnings⠀⇛ Tobacco companies must soon label individual cigarettes sold in the country with a health warning, in what Canada is calling a global first. # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ In_Canada,_each_cigarette_will_get_a warning_label:_‘poison_in_every_puff’⠀⇛ Canada will soon become the first country in the world where warning labels must appear on individual cigarettes. The move was first announced last year by Health Canada. Mental Health and Addictions Minister Carolyn Bennett says the bold step aims to help people kick the habit by making health warning messages virtually unavoidable. The wording will appear in English and French, warning smokers about harming children, damaging organs and causing impotence and leukemia. One of the messages says smoking is “poison in every puff.” Health Canada says tobacco use still kills about 48,000 Canadians each year. The labels are aimed at reducing smoking to less than 5% of the population. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Can_Americans_Really_Make_a_Free_Choice_About Dying?⠀⇛ On April 25, four disability rights organizations sued California state agencies and officials in an attempt to overturn the End of Life Option Act, a seven-year-old law that allows doctors to prescribe lethal medication to people who have six months or less to live.1This story is a collaboration with The 19th, an independent newsroom covering gender, politics, and policy. # ⚓ Defence Web ☛ SAMHS_assists_in_Tshwane_cholera_outbreak⠀⇛ As local and national authorities attempt to establish where and how cholera broke out, killing more than 20 people north of Pretoria, the SA Military Health Service (SAMHS) via an area formation headquarters rolled up sleeves to ensure on-the-ground assistance. # ⚓ Helsinki Times ☛ Monkeypox_vaccine_offered_at_all_health centers [Ed: Offloading useless garbage that nobody wants or needs (anymore)?]⠀⇛ Starting from June 1st, 2023, the monkeypox vaccine will be available at health centers in Helsinki for men aged 18 and above who are at the highest risk of contracting monkeypox. The vaccine will be provided by appointment only. # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ The_Case_That_Being_Poor_and_Black_Is_Bad_for Your_Health⠀⇛ The public-health professor Arline T. Geronimus has spent a forty-year career researching how inequality takes a “weathering” toll on the body. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ How_to_Lower_Deaths_Among_Women?_Give_Away Cash.⠀⇛ Mortality rates fell by 20 percent among women in countries that began cash transfer programs to the poor. Children also benefited. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ This_Woman_Feels_No_Pain._Decoding_Her_DNA Could_Bring_Relief_to_Millions.⠀⇛ Far out. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ U.S._Will_Require_All_New_Cars_to_Have Automatic_Braking_Systems⠀⇛ The Transportation Department wants new cars to automatically stop when they detect an accident is likely. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ EU_tech_chief_says_AI_code_of_conduct imperative⠀⇛ The United States and European Union should push the artificial intelligence (AI) industry to adopt a voluntary code of conduct within months to provide safeguards while new laws are developed, EU tech chief Margrethe Vestager says. The European Union’s AI Act, with rules on facial recognition and biometric surveillance, could be the world’s first comprehensive legislation governing the technology, but is still going through the legislative process. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Amazon_to_Pay_$25_Million_to_Settle Children’s_Privacy_Charges [Ed: A drop in the bucket. Amazon continues to spy for the state and for police.]⠀⇛ Regulators said the tech giant kept children’s Alexa voice recordings “forever,” violating a children’s privacy law. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Amazon_will_pay_more_than_$30M_for Alexa_and_Ring_privacy_violation_allegations [Ed: Slap on the wrist and Amazon continues to receive billions of dollars (subsidies) to spy for the police, the military, the state, and even advertisers]⠀⇛ Amazon.com Inc. will pay more than $30 million to settle two separate lawsuits brought by the Federal Trade Commission, it was reported today. ⚓ EDRI ☛ €1.2_billion_GDPR_fine_for_Meta_over_US_mass_surveillance⠀⇛ Today, a decade-long (2013 – 2023) case on Meta’s involvement in US mass surveillance has led to a first direct decision. Meta must stop any further transfers of European personal data to the United States, given that Meta is subject to US surveillance laws (like FISA 702).

The violence stemmed from an accusation that a young Black man named Dick Rowland had assaulted a young white woman in a downtown elevator on May 30. The mob killed an estimated 300 Black people and reportedly buried many of them in unmarked mass graves. Despite white city leaders’ subsequent refusal to provide restitution to the victims, the survivors in Greenwood rebuilt their community. More than 100 years after what we now call the Tulsa Race Massacre, there are still lingering historical silences and unresolved questions. In his new book, Built from the Fire: The Epic Story of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, America’s Black Wall Street, freelance journalist Victor Luckerson brings into focus the key decisions and actions that led to the massacre. I met Victor Luckerson, a former staff writer at The Ringer and business reporter for Time, in 2021 when I was completing my own book on the massacre, which combined survivors’ oral testimony with photos of the destruction. More so than previous books on the massacre, Luckerson dispels mythologies about the creation of Greenwood, its destruction, and its aftermath. I recently talked with Luckerson about his reasons for writing the book and why it was important for him to publish it now. * ⚓ RFA ☛ Palau_says_Chinese_vessel_slowed_over_undersea_cable_during incursion_into_waters⠀⇛ Palau has reported 4 unwanted forays into its waters by Chinese research vessels since 2018. * ⚓ RFA ☛ North_Korea_vows_to_try_again_after_failed_satellite_launch⠀⇛ The rocket failed when the second stage did not ignite, state media said. * ⚓ France24 ☛ Evacuation_alerts_cause_panic_in_Seoul_after_North_Korea’s failed_satellite_launch⠀⇛ A North Korean satellite launch on Wednesday ended in failure, sending the booster and payload plunging into the sea, North Korean state media said, and the South’s military said it had recovered parts of the launch vehicle. * ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ North_Korean_leader’s_sister_Kim_Yo_Jong_promises more_spy_satellite_launches,_says_KCNA⠀⇛ Her remarks come after Pyongyang’s satellite launch on Wednesday ended in failure. * ⚓ France24 ☛ Mediterranean_crossings:_Tunisia_and_France_‘share_lots_of views’⠀⇛ The Mediterranean migrants crisis was one of the main topics discussed by Tunisa’s foreign minister Nabil Ammar and his French counterpart Catherine Colonna during their first meeting in Paris.

The independent Russian outlet Novaya Vkladka sent a reporter, Yakov Bykov, to the villages of Priargunsk and Novotsurukhaytuy, located near the Chinese border, to learn more about local life and why the residents give money to the army, even though some of them barely have enough to cover their own basic needs.

Seven years later, out-of- control wildfires once again threaten the province, forcing tens of thousands out of their homes and causing air quality warnings across the Western U.S. and Canada — the smoke was even visible all the way in New York City. Vancouver-based author John Vaillant knows better than most the ultimate causes of these disasters and the lifelong impacts they have on communities. His new book Fire Weather: A True Story from a Hotter World, which comes out June 6, tells the story of the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire in horrific, page- turning detail. He sees that inferno, and the current western Canadian blazes, as the inevitable result of an economic system reliant on petroleum energy — as well as political leaders, such as newly-elected Alberta premier Danielle Smith, who seem willfully blind to the dangers of a changing climate.  * ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Malaysia_to_set_up_‘war_room’_to_check_water_levels ahead_of_expected_El_Nino⠀⇛ Fourteen districts around the country have so far been given a Level One heatwave warning. * ⚓ Quartz ☛ The_DOJ_is_suing_the_son_of_West_Virginia’s_governor_for millions_in_unpaid_environmental_fines⠀⇛ The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a lawsuit against the son of West Virginia governor Jim Justice, accusing him of failing to pay more than $5 million in civil penalties and other fees related to the 13 coal companies he operates. * ⚓ Quartz ☛ Delta_is_being_sued_for_claiming_to_be_a_carbon-neutral airline⠀⇛ Delta Air Lines’ green credentials are facing a legal test. * § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ o ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Effort_to_Give_Oil_Companies_$97_Million_Tax_Break_in Louisiana_Halted⠀⇛ For the fifth time, a Louisiana lawmaker has introduced legislation to try to reduce the tax that fossil fuel firms pay on oil they produce in the state. The original version of the bill introduced by Rep. Phillip DeVillier this spring would have cost the state $97 million over the next five years, according to a Louisiana Legislative Fiscal Office report. “It’s just so much money,” said Rep. Mandie Landry, who voted against the bill in the House Committee on Ways and Means and again when it was before the full House. After it passed the House, the Senate Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee was scheduled to vote on the bill on May 22, but Rep. DeVillier voluntarily postponed the vote. DeVillier, who received more than $5,700 in donations from oil and gas interests last year, brought similar legislation four times between 2020 and 2022. o ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Princeton_Maps_Reveal_US_Plans_for_Massive_CO2_Pipeline Buildout⠀⇛ I have been calling the carbon capture CO2 pipeline buildout plan a “publicly-funded sewer system for the fossil fuel industry” for some time. In fact it’s their only lifeline, and in the meantime it’s also really good for greenwashing and TV ads.A reality check is in order. New analysis here of a major report published by Princeton in 2020-21 reveals a “blueprint” for cutting carbon emissions that includes a Trans-Alaska Pipeline sized transmission pipeline running from New Jersey to Georgia and two or three 48 inch diameter pipelines running in tandem, for hundreds of miles, down the Ohio and Mississippi valleys and across the south. The Princeton mapping exercises have no apparent consideration of people who happen to be in the way. They are aimed at the cheapest solution, the least-cost, shortest distance between two points the pollution source and the dump. The CO2 pipeline buildout is shaping up to be the biggest environmental justice insult ever. Because where will these pipelines be built? Through communities and over people’s land who don’t have the clout to stop them.An unspoken global dilemma with the pipe dream of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is this: the carbon pollution coming out of smokestacks at power plants, refineries, chemical plants, cement kilns, steel mills, and ethanol plants is often nowhere near the proposed CO2 dumps – deep saline aquifers geologists have scoped out and where people theorize we can put the multi-gigaton CO2 genie back in the bottle. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Neural_Network_Helps_With_Radar_Pipeline_Diagnostics⠀⇛ Diagnosing pipeline problems is important in industry to avoid costly or dangerous failures from cracked, broken, or damaged pipes.

The controversial $6.6 billion pipeline would go through Virginia and West Virginia and carry 2 billion cubic feet of fracked gas across more than a thousand streams and wetlands in Appalachia. Over 750 frontline communities and environmental justice organizations oppose its construction, but the project has long had the backing of powerful West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, the biggest recipient of fossil fuel money in Congress. “They can’t build this pipeline and follow the law,” says Maury Johnson, a West Virginian who lives in the path of the massive pipeline and says approval of the deal would show corporations they can simply “throw a bunch of money to politicians” in order to overcome environmental concerns and local opposition from residents. * ⚓ Axios ☛ House_Democrats_fracture_on_debt_ceiling_vote⠀⇛ House Democrats were divided Wednesday on how they plan to vote on a bill_to_raise_the_debt_ceiling as the U.S. stares down a potentially historic default.

In an interview with Új Szó, Káčer said that although he was labelled a Hungarophobe after an interview in February in which he said that if Russia invaded Ukraine, Hungary would make territorial claims against Slovakia, he has no problem with Hungarians, especially given his Hungarian ancestry. * ⚓ Telex (Hungary) ☛ Orbán_called_to_account_in_the_EP:_what_is_left_of the_old_freedom_fighter?⠀⇛ Hungary was the topic of discussion in the European Parliament again on Wednesday afternoon, as MEPs debated a motion for a resolution. During the debate, they assessed, among other things, the state of the rule of law, the freezing of EU funds – and the Hungarian government’s suitability to hold the EU presidency in 2024. * ⚓ The Nation ☛ Democrats_Settled_for_a_Raw_Deal⠀⇛ It’s still only May, but the deal-making enthusiasts in the DC commentariat are in high cotton: A tentative bipartisan accord has been reached on the encroaching federal debt ceiling, and the household gods of elite politics are restored to their traditional primacy. “Biden’s underrated deal-making prowess strikes again,” coos Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin. “Joe Biden is the master dealmaker America needs right now,” gargles The Daily Beast’s David Rothkopf. And so on. * ⚓ The Nation ☛ If_Ken_Paxton’s_Staff_Can_Do_It,_Why_Can’t_Dianne Feinstein’s?⠀⇛ Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been in office since 2015, and since 2015 he has been one of the most destructive forces in American law. He’s used his office as a Republican wish-fulfillment machine, trying to win through conservative courts the policies that Republicans cannot win at the ballot box. It was Paxton who organized a red-state challenge to the Affordable Care Act in 2018, trying to get Obamacare declared unconstitutional (he lost). Paxton also led the 2018 challenge to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, and brought it all the way to the Supreme Court (he lost). And he challenged Obama’s Clean Power Plan in 2017 (he won). During the Trump administration, he turned his attention toward reproductive rights, and he’s been at the forefront of trying to implement Texas’s bounty-hunter law, which punishes anyone who tries to help pregnant people in Texas receive an abortion. So far, during the Biden administration, he’s sued the administration more than 50 times, mainly over Biden’s immigration policies and student debt-relief programs. For Paxton, there is simply no difference between the law and his conservative political agenda. * ⚓ The Nation ☛ Audre_Lorde⠀⇛ * ⚓ Telex (Hungary) ☛ The_EP_would_deny_the_Hungarian_government_a_unique opportunity,_but_the_real_threat_lies_elsewhere⠀⇛ Judit Varga’s statement shows what the Hungarian government expects from taking over the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union from the middle of next year. And the excitement is not without reason, as she will be in a unique position to take on the background tasks that usually involve organisation, legal paperwork and the continuation of much of the inherited tasks. In a fortuitous coincidence, she will take over the post, which was first filled in 2011, at a time when there will be changes in other important EU bodies, and this will also provide a rare opportunity for the presidency. * ⚓ Telex (Hungary) ☛ State_Secretary_from_Orbán’s_cabinet_office_discusses Ukraine’s_future_membership_of_NATO_in_Warsaw⠀⇛ The Chief Advisor for National Security and State Secretary for National Information at the Prime Minister’s Cabinet Office, Lieutenant General József Kovács, was present at the recent meeting of the Bucharest Nine in Warsaw, where the parties unanimously declared that they are ready to support Ukraine as long as necessary, hvg.hu reports. * ⚓ New York Times ☛ Rishi_Sunak_Is_Still_Haunted_by_Boris_Johnson_and_Liz Truss⠀⇛ Boris Johnson’s misadventures still make headlines, but Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s bigger problem is high inflation and soaring bond yields reminiscent of those that toppled Liz Truss. * ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong_sports_teams_told_to_boycott ceremonies_if_organiser_refuses_national_anthem_check_under_new guidelines⠀⇛ Hong Kong sports teams are now required to boycott medal ceremonies at international competitions if the organiser refuses to let the team leader verify the Chinese national anthem or regional flags on site, according to amended guidelines issued by the top sports federation representing Hong Kong at the Olympics. * ⚓ France24 ☛ Tsitsipas,_Alcaraz_soar_at_French_Open_as_Djokovic_row simmers⠀⇛ Stefanos Tsitsipas and Carlos Alcaraz cruised into the third round of the French Open on Wednesday, but all eyes were on Novak Djokovic as a political row sparked by the two-times Roland Garros champion intensified. * ⚓ New York Times ☛ At_the_French_Open,_Djokovic_Storms_the_Court_and_Into Controversy,_Again⠀⇛ In recent days, the Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic has inserted himself into the mounting international crisis in Kosovo. * ⚓ RFERL ☛ Iranian_Judiciary_Chief_Defends_Executions_Of_Protesters⠀⇛ The head of Iran’s judiciary has defended issuing death sentences for several demonstrators involved in nationwide protests that erupted in September 2022 following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini soon after she was detained by morality police for allegedly violating the mandatory hijab law. * ⚓ teleSUR ☛ Turkmenistan_&_Iran_Sign_5_Cooperation_Agreements_And_3 MoUs⠀⇛ “…Raisi stated that the signing of these documents is indicative of the two nations’ determination…” * ⚓ teleSUR ☛ Iran_&_Türkiye_Presidents_Looking_to_Expand_Bilateral Relations⠀⇛ “…the relations between Türkiye and Iran, in various fields, will “definitely” progress with enhanced vigor…” * ⚓ European Commission ☛ European_Citizens’_Initiative:_Commission_decides to_register_initiative_on_mutual_recognition_of_final_judgments_within the_EU⠀⇛ European Commission Press release Brussels, 31 May 2023 Today, the Commission decided to register a European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) entitled ‘Effective implementation of the concept of judicial precedent in EU countries’. * ⚓ EDRI ☛ EDRi-gram,_31_May_2023⠀⇛ Here is what happened since we last touched base. The EDRi network met in Belgrade for our General Assembly. We strategised, got updates from national members about the state of #DigitalRights, and enjoyed personal connection time. A BIG welcome to EDRi’s newly elected Board members: Andrej Petrovski, Director of Tech at EDRi member SHARE Foundation, and Isabela Fernandes, Executive Director of TOR Project. In the last fortnight, we also celebrated 5 years of the General Data Protection Regulation. The anniversary was marked by the €1.2 billion fine for Meta issued thanks to EDRi member noyb’s work. The decision required 10 years and 3 court procedures against the Irish Data Protection Commission, which shows the need for better GDPR enforcement. * ⚓ Turkey’s_election_body_unveils_official_results_of_parliamentary polls⠀⇛ The Supreme Election Council has released the final data regarding the parliamentary election on May 14. * ⚓ New York Times ☛ Fear_Sets_In_Among_Turkey’s_L.G.B.T._Community_After Erdogan’s_Attacks⠀⇛ President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vilified gay people during his re-election campaign, calling them a threat to society and rallying conservatives against them. It has left people feeling threatened, and alone. * ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ In_Turkey,_secular_women_alarmed_about_future_under_new Erdoğan_term⠀⇛ Liberal Turkish women fear President Erdoğan’s election victory will spell further setbacks for women’s rights. Their devout Muslim sisters disagree. * ⚓ Mexico News Daily ☛ AMLO_says_he_supports_activist’s_peace_deal_offered to_cartels⠀⇛ The president says he would like to see Delia Quiroa’s recent call to Mexico’s 10 biggest cartels to end forced disappearances succeed. * ⚓ New York Times ☛ Hunter_Biden’s_Lawyers_Cite_Landmark_Gun_Ruling_in_Bid to_Stave_Off_Charges⠀⇛ Hunter Biden’s legal team is invoking a Supreme Court decision his father has denounced as an affront to “common sense and the Constitution.” * § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ o ⚓ Quartz ☛ Twitter_has_lost_66%_of_its_value_since_Elon_Musk_bought it⠀⇛ In just six months since Elon Musk paid $44 billion to purchase Twitter in October last year, the company’s value has plunged by nearly two thirds. o ⚓ Quartz ☛ Apparently_Google_isn’t_responsible_for_the_digital_news echo_chamber⠀⇛ A new study found that Google’s search algorithm does not disproportionately lead people to click on partisan and unreliable news. Rather, people largely click on the news they seek out—no matter where on the internet they find it. o ⚓ Quartz ☛ Twitter_users_could_be_criminally_punished_for_death threats_in_the_Netherlands⠀⇛ The president of the Netherlands House of Representatives published an open letter on Wednesday (May 31) that called on Twitter to address toxic and illegal content on its platform. o ⚓ New York Times ☛ Using_Alternative_Apps_and_Shared_Albums_Instead of_Mainstream_Social_Media⠀⇛ Alternative apps and shared photo albums let you set up your own exclusive club for online conversations and digital pictures. § Censorship/Libel⠀➾ * ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Moment_of_truth_and_lies_arrives_for_Ben_Roberts- Smith⠀⇛ A judge will decide whether Ben Roberts-Smith is a courageous war hero harmed by an untruthful media campaign or a murderous, violent war criminal. Mr Roberts-Smith, 43, sued The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Canberra Times for defamation over reports in 2018 claiming he committed war crimes in Afghanistan, and acts of bullying and domestic violence. * ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Media_herald_Roberts-Smith_finding_critical_for justice⠀⇛ Publishers have heralded a historic win in the Ben Roberts- Smith defamation trial as vindication and a “critical step for justice”. After an 11-month deliberation, Justice Anthony Besanko found The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Canberra Times had successfully proved their allegations the Victoria Cross recipient committed war crimes. * ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Roberts-Smith_broke_moral_and_legal_rules,_judge finds⠀⇛ Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith committed a slew of war crimes in Afghanistan, murdering unarmed prisoners, a Federal Court judge has found. Mr Roberts-Smith suffered a massive court loss, ending an almost five-year defamation battle between the former-SAS corporal and three media outlets. * ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Higgins’_support_person_fronts_Lehrmann_inquiry⠀⇛ Tensions between the right to the presumption of innocence and support for someone who purports to be a victim of crime are under the microscope at an inquiry into the criminal justice system’s response to Brittany Higgins’ rape allegation. Ms Higgins alleges she was raped inside a ministerial office at Parliament House by her former colleague Bruce Lehrmann after a night out. * ⚓ RFA ☛ After_grueling_jungle_trek,_Chinese_social_media_satirist_to apply_for_U.S._asylum⠀⇛ Posting video updates, ‘Brother Tian’ is closer to his dream of living in a free country * ⚓ uni Stanford ☛ From_the_Community_|_A_parable_of_academic_freedom⠀⇛ Writing in response to an article by Jonathan Berk, Branislav Jakovljević argues that “one of the key differences between academic freedom and freedom of speech is that the former is inseparable from responsibility: responsibility to students, to the field, and to the public in general.” § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ * ⚓ AKP_council_member_assails_journalist_at_İstanbul_Municipal_Council meeting⠀⇛ Journalist Macit Korkmaz was physically assaulted by the council member while he was filming an argument. * ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ British_Police_Detain_Journalist_Kit_Klarenberg, Interrogate_Him_About_The_Grayzone⠀⇛ British counter-terror police detained journalist Kit Klarenberg upon his arrival at London’s Luton airport and subjected him to an extended interrogation about his political views and reporting for The Grayzone. * ⚓ Craig Murray ☛ The_Twilight_of_Freedom⠀⇛ Three British journalists I know personally – Johanna Ross, Vanessa Beeley and Kit Klarenberg – have each in the last two years been detained at immigration for hours on re-entering their own country, and questioned by police under anti- terrorist legislation. * ⚓ The Dissenter ☛ British_Counter-Terrorism_Police_Detain_And_Interrogate British_Journalist_At_Airport⠀⇛ * ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Matt_Taibbi:_A_Brief_Note_on_Writing⠀⇛ Setting down a lifetime of this trade’s tricks, one at a time. § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ * ⚓ Green_Left_MP_candidate_remanded_in_custody⠀⇛ Yıldırım is charged with “membership in an illegal organization.” * ⚓ New York Times ☛ Pakistan_Courts_Challenge_Military_With_High-Profile Rulings⠀⇛ Long seen as kowtowing to the military, the judiciary has defied it in recent rulings, signaling an important shift in Pakistan’s political landscape. * ⚓ The Nation ☛ Let’s_Hear_It_for_the_Strippers’_Union⠀⇛ By 10:30 am., the atmosphere inside the National Labor Relations Board conference hall on May 18 was raucous—and for good reason. After a 15-month strike, the locked-out strippers of Star Garden Topless Dive Bar had voted to form the first strip-club dancer’s union since the ’90s. As the ballots came in 17-0 in favor of the union, the dancers filled the room with squeals, hugs, and tears. “It feels like a dream come true,” Velveeta, a lead organizer, said. * ⚓ Quartz ☛ India’s_response_to_wrestlers_protesting_sexual_misconduct_was forceful_removal_and_detention⠀⇛ >Indian wrestling’s #MeToo movement is about to enter its sixth month of protest and shows no signs of wavering in its resolve to seek justice. * ⚓ New York Times ☛ Female_Wrestlers_in_India_Threaten_to_Toss_Olympic Medals_in_Protest⠀⇛ Their protest dispersed, female wrestlers who have accused a powerful official of sexual harassment went to the Ganges intending to throw away their Olympic medals. * ⚓ Vice Media Group ☛ ‘This_Is_What_Happens’:_Landlord_Lobbyist_Apologizes for_‘Insensitive’_Comment_About_Tenant_Murder⠀⇛ A young couple was shot and killed by their landlord in Canada. One lobbyist said it reflected the plight of landlords. * ⚓ European Commission ☛ Commission_proposes_to_better_guarantee_the rights_of_adults_in_need_of_protection_or_support_in_cross-border situations⠀⇛ European Commission Press release Brussels, 31 May 2023 Today, the Commission is proposing new rules aimed to ensure that the protection of adults is maintained in cross-border cases, and that their right to individual autonomy. * ⚓ European Commission ☛ Questions_and_Answers:_Commission_proposes_to better_guarantee_the_rights_of_adults_in_need_of_protection_or_support_in cross-border_situations⠀⇛ European Commission Questions and answers Brussels, 31 May 2023 Who is covered by these proposals? § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ * ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Section_230_Protects_Public_Records_Portal,_Says_Judge_While Tossing_Bogus_ID_Theft_Lawsuit⠀⇛ Section 230: not just for those irascible tech giants politicians keep grandstanding about. We all may have a love/ hate/really hate relationship with various social media services, but Section 230 also protects the little guys. So, while it might be momentarily satisfying to cheer on the latest comeuppance attempt by political opportunists, remember it’s going to be the little guys who get hurt the most. * ⚓ Techdirt ☛ How_236,471_Words_Of_Amici_Briefing_Gave_Us_The_565_Word Gonzalez_Decision⠀⇛ There has been a lot said about Gonzalez v. Google, the first Supreme Court Section 230 case in 22 years. Of course, in those 2+ decades Section 230’s “twenty-six words that created the internet” have generated their fair share of courtroom and political controversy. But even given 230’s lightning-rod status for free speech and the internet, interest in the Gonzalez case was extreme. Experts and interest groups filed a total of 78 different amici in Gonzalez alone1, totaling 236,471 (!!!) words. In light of the volume, the Court extended oral arguments to 70 minutes and then still blew through that time limit by an hour and 34 minutes.  * ⚓ Techdirt ☛ OnlyFans_Throws_The_Open_Internet_Under_The_Bus⠀⇛ It’s always disappointing when an internet company that should know better decides to throw the open internet it relies on under the bus. * ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Community-Owned_Broadband_Network_Again_Tops_List_Of_Most Popular_ISPs⠀⇛ For two decades, frustrated towns and cities all over the country have responded to telecom monopolies by building their own fiber broadband networks. Data routinely shows that not only do these networks provide faster, better, and cheaper service, the networks are generally more accountable to the public — because they’re directly owned and staffed by locals with a vested interest in the community. * ⚓ European Commission ☛ Telecom_operators_in_EU_and_Republic_of_Moldova agree_on_lowering_roaming_tariffs_from_1_January_2024⠀⇛ European Commission Press release Brussels, 31 May 2023 The Commission welcomes the Joint Declaration from EU and Moldovan telecom operators for lower roaming charges. * ⚓ Reason ☛ Childproofing_the_Internet⠀⇛ How online “child protection” measures could make child and adult internet users more vulnerable to hackers, identity thieves, and snoops. § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ * ⚓ EFF ☛ The_Right_to_Repair_Is_Law_in_Minnesota._California_Should_Be Next⠀⇛ The right to repair movement has a lot of momentum. In 2022, Colorado passed a law that gave wheelchair users access to the resources they need to repair their own chairs, and the state followed that up with another targeted bill giving farmers and ranchers the right to repair agricultural equipment. Massachusetts has passed several measures around car repairs. Last year we also got the first broad consumer right to repair legislation in New York, though that bill took a big step backward at the last moment. § Monopolies⠀➾ * ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Biden’s_NTIA_Says_EU_Telecoms’_‘Big_Tech_Tax’_A_Blisteringly Dumb_Idea⠀⇛ We’ve noted several times how European ISPs have somehow convinced European Commission that technology giants should repeatedly give them billions of dollars… for no coherent reason. * ⚓ Techdirt ☛ California_Legislature_Bribes_Big_Media_Journalists_With_Big Tech_Money_To_Support_Link_Tax_Bill⠀⇛ A few months back, we wrote about California Rep. Buffy Wicks’ blatantly corrupt plan to use the California legislature to simply make Google and Facebook hand cash over to news orgs (the same news orgs she needs endorsements from to keep getting elected). * § Patents⠀➾ o ⚓ France’s_local_UPC_division_offers_English_as_a_language_option [Ed: This is not a legal court, it's the product of organised crime, corruption, and lobbying. It should and probably will be dismantled ASAP, but the EU will suffer from this EPO blunder of kangaroo courts and regulatory (even court) capture.]⠀⇛ * § Trademarks⠀➾ o ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Jack_Daniel’s_Loses_Opposition_To_‘Jack_And_Victor’ Whisky_In_UKIPO_Smackdown⠀⇛ Jack Daniel’s, the famous whiskey maker out of Tennessee, is not a complete stranger to silly trademark battles. But it appears that the company may be getting into the trademark bullying game, or at least the trademark lack of comprehending the law game, more and more these days. This post will serve as another example of that, but some throat-clearing is in order, so stick with me here. * § Copyrights⠀➾ o ⚓ Public Domain Review ☛ The_Black_Dandy_of_Buenos_Aires:_Racial Fictions_and_the_Search_for_Raúl_Grigera⠀⇛ A mysterious staple of Buenos Aires nightlife in the 1910s and 20s, Raúl Grigera was an audacious Afro- Argentine dandy, an eccentric bohemian icon, a man who called himself el murciélago (the bat). Paulina L. Alberto examines the racial stories told by photographs, comic strips, and newspaper articles about a person many knew only as “el negro Raúl”, searching for the life behind the legend. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2805 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 06.01.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Gemini_Links_01/06/2023:_Scam_Call_and_Flying_High_With_Gemini⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 1:47 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal o Technical # Internet/Gemini # Announcements # Programming * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal⠀➾ # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_ACIPTUY_Wordo:_DOPER⠀⇛ # ⚓ June_1st,_2023⠀⇛ We are now halfway through the year 2023. [No, that's next month...] o § Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Backport_OpenBSD_7.3_pkg_add_enhancement⠀⇛ Recently, OpenBSD package manager received a huge speed boost when updating packages, but it’s currently only working in -current due to an issue. [...] On -current, there is a single directory to look for packages, but on release for architectures amd64, aarch64, sparc64 and i386, there are two directories: the packages generated for the release, and the packages-stable directory receiving updates during the release lifetime. # ⚓ Scam_Call⠀⇛ I had an unusual experience yesterday: a call from a scammer claiming to be from my bank. Because the caller ID showed the correct name, I was initially taken in. They claimed that there had been a suspicious transfer from my bank account via online banking, and that they had blocked it. They then asked about how I use online banking—from what devices—and suggested that one of these must have been hacked. [...] I asked for the account number of the account with the issue, and they made up a number—it didn’t match anything I recognized. I asked for the address associated with the account—and they had a wrong, out of date, address for me. # ⚓ Lagging_Mouse_Mystery⠀⇛ For years I’ve been trying to figure out why, sometimes, my mouse starts pausing for 1/2 a second or so at random intervals. I went down many rabbit holes, but it looks like I have an old mouse that must be defective. `journalctl -b -e` (very useful for things like this) reports entries like ‘kernel: usb 3-3.1: reset low-speed USB device number 14 using xhci_hcd’ – several per minute when things get bad. That explains it. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Flying_High_With_Gemini⠀⇛ So here I am on an airplane flying from Istanbul to Los Angeles. I thought it would be fun to take the opportunity to post on Gemini while I’m thousands of feet in the air. Bubble is the most convenient way to do so on my phone, although I could get out my laptop I can’t be bothered. The flight came with some form of free WiFi, which is a shock to me because last year they wanted to charge an arm and a leg for it. The terms of service seem to have gotten a lot better, with lower cost packages back down to what I remember them being 10 years ago, and a longer duration of use, I think. (The flight is 12 hours and I have 24 hours of service.) # ⚓ away_with_ye,_for_we_have_won_the_WWW⠀⇛ Two camps. Two schools of thought. The despondent “partakers” in consumer tech The devoted…devotees of the WWW We are on the cusp (or IN) the New AI era of tech. I’ve said a million times, it (AI) IS the biggest innovation (through numerous iterations) in the tech space since the creation of the Web by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990. # ⚓ What’s_in_a_Name⠀⇛ The domain name of this capsule has been a topic of discussion. I’ve already added an introductory text to the Help page that sheds some light on what’s the deal here, but to further alleviate potential confusion, I’ve decided to switch this Bubble instance over to a subdomain. # ⚓ Oof⠀⇛ Not posting this on main, too easy to connect the dots. Don’t scroll Facebook, you’ll only find bad things. Checking up on an old friend, it turns out he (regularly? semi-regularly?) plays board games with a known antagonist/pot-stirrer of Canadian letters, someone who devotes most of his space to being unkind, cruel, belittling; a person who, if it were me playing games with him, would have fellow writers taking me aside to tell me, “winter, dude, what the fuck.” # ⚓ Let’s_not_be_pitying_the_web,_now⠀⇛ There’s never been anything wrong with the web. For how could a reflection be wrong? The web quite simply has far more moron-ia to reflect. Poor thing…. right? # ⚓ Domains_And_Cathedrals⠀⇛ The most recent excitement in Geminispace is about the domain `geminispace.org`. Is it appropriate that it be used for Bubble? Might it confuse newcomers into thinking it is somehow an “official” representative of Geminispace? # § Announcements⠀➾ # ⚓ Rosy_Crow_1.1.2_Released⠀⇛ The new menu button serves to visually indicate the function of the application menu to new users. The button also serves to provide an alternative method of expanding the menu for users who may not be able to (or may not wish to) use the swipe-down gesture. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Building_native_UI_applications_on_Linux_in_the declarative/reactive_way?⠀⇛ I like GTK+ visually. It’s minimalistic and all applications look organically on one Gnome-based desktop. But when I decided to write an application myself for my favorite OS (Elementary), I went into a stupor. You can only write in Vala+GTK in HORRIBLE imperative style. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

XFS users should settle for nothing earlier, in the 6.3 series at least. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Major Hayden ☛ Major_Hayden:_Launch_a_watchtower_container via_podman_quadlets⠀⇛ Podman’s new quadlet feature lets you specify container launch configuration via simple systemd-like unit files. 📦 # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ System_administration’s_long_slow march_to_configuration_automation⠀⇛ So my more nuanced view is that we’ve wound up in a situation where the appeal of automating system setup and operation is obvious and widely accepted, but the implementation of it still isn’t. And where the implementation is widely accepted it’s partly because people are using larger scale systems that don’t give them a choice, like more or less immutable containers that must be built by automation and deployed through systems. # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ DNSSEC_failures_are_how_you_get people_to_disable_DNSSEC⠀⇛ Some people are required to operating DNSSEC validating resolvers, and others are strongly committed to it (and are so far willing to pay the costs of doing so in staff time, people’s complaints, and so on). But other people are not so committed and so the more big DNSSEC failures there are, the more of them are going to solve the problem once and for all by dropping out. And then DNSSEC becomes that much harder to adopt widely even if you think it’s a good idea. # ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Fix_SSH_Client_loop:_send_disconnect: Broken_pipe_Error⠀⇛ SSH, an acronym for Secure Shell, is a remote network protocol that is used to securely connect to remote devices such as servers and network devices over a TCP/IP network. It is a cryptographic network protocol that provides strong encryption technologies and hashing to secure communication between two devices on a network. # ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Lock_and_Unlock_User_After_Failed_SSH Logins⠀⇛ SSH security is a top priority when setting up your server. The default SSH settings are usually not robust enough to safeguard your server from external attacks. Therefore, additional tweaks are needed to provide a decent amount of security from brute-force attacks. One of these is implementing fail2ban to keep off unauthorized users after a certain number of incorrect log attempts. Similarly, you can leverage the pam_faillock module to implement an account lockout policy. # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Delete_All_Files_of_a_Directory_in_Linux⠀⇛ At times you’ll need to delete all the files of a directory. Not the directory itself but the contents of the directory. You could do it to clean up a project, free up space or for any other purpose. # ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ How_To_Safely_Remove_Linux_From_Dual_Boot Windows⠀⇛ Are you looking to uninstall Linux from your dual- boot Windows system?

I tried to run VMware Workstation to install a secondary operating system to test functionality, but it flagged me an error: “VMware Kernel Module Updater: Kernel header X.X.X-X-amd64 were not found.” o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Physics_be_damned,_go_build_some_crazy stuff_in_Poly_Bridge_3⠀⇛ Dry Cactus have now released Poly Bridge 3, the latest in their multi-million selling physics-based bridge-building puzzle game series and it looks to be the wildest yet. As before, it comes with full Native Linux support. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ New_Stars_is_a_slimmed_down_quicker Stellaris-like_strategy_sim⠀⇛ Need your 4x space fix but find the likes of Stellaris just a bit too long? Perhaps keep an eye on the upcoming release of New Stars. It will have full Native Linux support at release. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ The_OmniCase_2_from_JSAUX_is_a_quality_USB- C_hub_worth_grabbing⠀⇛ A while ago hardware accessory maker JSAUX sent over the OmniCase 2 Pro, and it’s a great USB-C hub worth grabbing if you need some extra ports for a Steam Deck, a desktop, laptop or anything in between. # ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ New_Steam_Games_with_Native_Linux_Clients with_Poly_Bridge_3,_Generally_2_and_Summer_Trip_Cruise_– 2023-05-31_Edition⠀⇛ Between 2023-05-24 and 2023-05-31 there were 33 New Steam games released with Native Linux clients. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Heroic_Games_Launcher_2.8.0_adds_a_DLC manager_for_Epic_Games,_side-loading_browser_apps⠀⇛ Heroic Games Launcher, my favourite way to get Epic Games and GOG on Steam Deck and desktop Linux released v2.8.0 with some great new features – here’s a run over what’s new and improved. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Get_Battle.net,_EA,_Epic_Games_and_more_on Steam_Deck_the_easy_way⠀⇛ There’s many different ways to get third-party launchers onto Steam Deck like Battle.net, EA, Epic Games and many others. Here’s one way that does most of the work for you. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ NixOS_23.05_Released_with_GNOME_44,_KDE_Plasma_5.27 LTS,_and_Linux_6.1_LTS⠀⇛ Dubbed “Stoat”, NixOS 23.05 is here exactly six months after NixOS 22.11 and it’s powered by the long-term supported Linux 6.1 LTS kernel series. The previous release was using the Linux 5.15 LTS kernel series, so you should see improved hardware support the next time you install NixOS or even for existing installations. Also new in NixOS 23.05 is support for the latest GNOME 44 and KDE Plasma 5.27 LTS desktop environment series, which are used by default for the flagship editions of NixOS in live environments so you can try them before you install them. In addition, the Cinnamon 5.6 desktop environment is now available for installation. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Frederic Cambus ☛ Spleen_2.0.0_released_with_full_CP437 support⠀⇛ On top on that, Spleen is now also available in libansilove since version 1.4.0 and in Ansilove since version 4.2.0, making it possible to render ANSI art using a modern font. o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ MicroOS_Desktop_has_new_names!⠀⇛ As seen in Richard Brown’s presentation at openSUSE Conference 2023 Why you should be running the MicroOS Desktop, we are pleased to announce a name change for both MicroOS Desktop GNOME and MicroOS Desktop Plasma. MicroOS Desktop GNOME is now: openSUSE Aeon o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ CentOS ☛ CentOS_Newsletter,_May_2023⠀⇛ May 2023 Newsletter The next CentOS Connect will be colocated at Flock on August 2. Watch the website or social media for CFP and registration details. The CentOS project has started a podcast called Connections, where we talk to interesting people doing interesting things across the CentOS ecosystem. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ AI,_automation,_and_the_future_of_cloud: Insights_from_DXC_Technology_and_Red_Hat [Ed: The "rhsummit" in the URL means it's Red Hat-sponsored SPAM about Red Hat with some buzzwords chaff ("AI") to spice up the SPAM]⠀⇛ o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ Canonical_Unveils_Plans_for_Immutable_Ubuntu Desktop_Empowered_by_Snap⠀⇛ Canonical, the company behind the popular Ubuntu operating system, is charting a new course for its upcoming release, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS In a bid to provide users with enhanced reliability, security, and manageability, Canonical is planning to introduce an alternative to the traditional Ubuntu Desktop image- an “Ubuntu Core”- based immutable desktop OS flavour. This move signifies a shift in focus for Ubuntu Core, which has traditionally catered to the IoT market and specialized areas. # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_Blog:_Ubuntu_Core_as_an_immutable_Linux Desktop_base⠀⇛ Canonical began the development of Ubuntu Core in 2014, to create a fully-containerised platform for IoT. In Ubuntu Core, we use the same kernel container technology that Docker and LXC are built on, to put every component of the system into a secure sandbox, with well-defined upgrade and rollback. We did this to enable autonomous connected Internet of Things  devices to receive updates which they could apply without human intervention, to address security and business needs at the edge. Ubuntu Core’s minimal footprint lends itself to enabling a secure, resilient, evergreen operating system that can be relied upon in the most challenging environments. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Compulab_presents_low-cost_NXP_i.MX93 embedded_platform⠀⇛ Compulab introduced today a low-cost embedded device built around a dual-core ARM Cortex-A55 and the Arm Ethos U-65 microNPU. The company has also launched a compatible carrier board with mainline Linux support and RTOS. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Purism ☛ Librem_5_Battery_Life_Improved_by_100%!⠀⇛ Just like a great wine, the Librem 5 is getting better with age and it may well be the only smartphone to do so. That is because we don’t invest in obsolescence. In the opposite, our wonderful dev team is never giving up on their effort to optimize the software. After each major update, the Librem 5 gets faster and lighter on it’s hardware resources. With the latest PureOS update, the “Suspend” feature has become reliable and when enabled, it can greatly improve the battery life of the Librem 5. As a reference, the phone’s battery could last around 10h in Idle mode and it can now last around 20h in Suspend mode. With Suspend enabled, I am now able to detach my phone from the charger in the morning, have a normal usage (with a few phone calls, using a few apps) all day long and it still has battery when I charge it at night. # ⚓ Old VCR ☛ Refurb_weekend:_Commodore_128DCR⠀⇛ No question: the Commodore 128D is the finest Commodore 8-bit ever made. On this I tolerate no dissent, and that’s not just because I sometimes hang out with Bil Herd. It’s a 128, so it’s got VDC graphics, 128K and 2MHz operation, but because it’s a 128 it’s also a 64. It’s also an upgraded 128 with the fixed ROMs, (in this North American 128DCR) 8568 VDC and 64K of VDC memory, it’s got a built-in 1571 (Commodore’s finest 5.25″ disk drive), and it doesn’t have an external power brick. Plus, even though it has the desktop footprint of a 128, the detachable keyboard means you can just put a monitor on top of it (and the steel-cased North American 128DCR handles that very well) just like you can’t with a flat 128, and you either get an actual cooling fan with the plastic 128D or the solder points to put one in a steel 128DCR. My only complaint is that the consolidated DCR motherboard is nearly devoid of socketed ICs, making it a little tough to do component level repair on. I like spares, so I have four DCRs, all of which completely or mostly work (and two spare keyboards, one rather yellow but fully functional and one even more yellow and useful just for parts). # ⚓ Jack Franklin ☛ Things_I’ve_learned_about_building computers⠀⇛ Recently a computer upgrade went from one graphics card to a new case, new fans and a new graphics card. Along the way I learned a bunch and I’m writing this blog post for future reference when I next perform a PC upgrade. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ This_beautiful_lamp_shows_the_moon’s_phases_from your_nightstand⠀⇛ At first glance, this looks like the kind of moon lamp that has been very popular in recent years. Such lamps are common 3D printing projects, because it is possible to use real topographic data to create a 3D lithophane that makes the terrain visible. A lithophane is a piece of artwork made using a thin, translucent sheet of varying thickness. When backlit, the thicker areas look darker and the thinner areas look lighter. Like the popular moon lamps, this project starts with a 3D- printed lithophane of the moon. With a light source inside, it looks like an accurate lunar model. # ⚓ Olimex ☛ ZX-ESPectrum_emulator_tested_with_ESP32-SBC-FabGL, The_Mensch_computer_with_W65C256_got_VGA_display_and Keyboard⠀⇛ At first it didn’t build but after Twitter consultation the problem appear with PlatformIO which was searching for obsolete version of ESP32 tools, after adding one line in platformio.ini # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Dragonfly_Spectral_Line_Mapper⠀⇛ The design is based on the Dragonfly Telephoto Array, which was developed to find clues to the distribution and nature of dark matter in the universe by imaging faint and spread-out objects in the sky. The original Dragonfly is a telescope made up of a mosaic of Canon telephoto lenses on two mounts. The lenses all point to the same target in the sky: adding together all the images from the mosaic of lenses makes Dragonfly the equivalent of a one-metre telescope. One of those would usually have a starting price of around $500,000. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Reliving_elementary_school_with_a_robotic recorder⠀⇛ The recorder is a type of flute that is very popular in elementary schools because the instrument is so simple and inexpensive. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ # ⚓ REMINDERS:_LibreOffice_Conference⠀⇛ # ⚓ Development_and_Quality_Assurance:_TDF’s_Annual_Report 2022⠀⇛ In 2022, 11,769 commits were made to the LibreOffice source code, from 218 authors, in 10 repositories. # ⚓ Math_Guide_is_Updated_to_Release_7.5⠀⇛ The LibreOffice Documentation team is happy to announce the new Math Guide 7.5, the equation editor of the LibreOffice productivity suite. Anyone who wants to learn how to insert formulas and equations using Math will find this 73 pages guide valuable. Formulas can be inserted as objects into Writer, Impress, Draw, and Calc documents. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Amos Wenger ☛ The_RustConf_Keynote_Fiasco,_explained⠀⇛ Recently, RustConf offered ThePhD (aka JeanHeyd Meneide) the keynote speech, then on May 26, suggesting it be downgraded to a “regular talk”, despite the author’s extreme clarity about the exploratory nature of the work being presented. This is relevant because, some think the keynote should be representative of the official direction of the Rust project (even though there’s precedent for the exact opposite happening). o § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ # ⚓ Luis_Villa:_The_brief_guide_to_MSCD_5⠀⇛ My primary goal when trying to improve a contract’s drafting is not “plain english”. The goal is simplicity, clarity, and consistency, because complexity is a source of errors. As a pleasant side-effect, contracts drafted with rigorous attention to consistency and clarity are generally shorter, and almost always much easier to read. Ken Adam’s Manual_of_Style_for_Contract_Drafting has helped me immeasurably in reaching that primary goal, both by teaching me habits of mind and by being a reference for better linguistic structures. [...] If you are confused about why I recommend the book, read “About this manual”, “Traditional Contract Language is Dysfunctional”, and “Excuses for Sticking With Traditional Contract Language”. Skip or skim the rest. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Static_and_Dynamic_Web_Scraping_with_R⠀⇛ We’re going to start things off easy with a simple case of scraping content from one static website. Then, we’ll raise the bar a bit and deal with a more advanced case. This involves gathering content from several similar pages, and to make matters more interesting, the links to those pages are displayed with dynamic loading. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Alex Ewerlöf ☛ Why_bother_with_SLI_and_SLO?⠀⇛ Since April I’m helping a large org (150+ teams) to set their SLI (service level indicators) and SLO (service level objectives). o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Buttondown ☛ Collecting_and_curating_material_is_good_and we_should_do_it_more⠀⇛ Chronicling, plugin systems, and six other disjointed ideas combine in an argument of how to “engineerize” software more # ⚓ 37signals LLC ☛ Meetings_Are_Toxic⠀⇛ I had an intense 12-hour meeting over two consecutive days. We were writing, correcting and estimating stories for a three-month project. Devs were in the room with managers, scrum master and biz owners. So at the end of the second day, we finished the last story and we were supposed to groom and task it out next day (a third meeting day, yay). But our manager talked with us the next day and told us that some biz owners were mad about some unclear criteria in the stories, so he said that the (managers and biz) will regroup and this time “correctly rewrite all stories” and that we will have another 12-hour meeting next week. That’s the story of how I had 24 hours of meetings in two weeks and NO WORK DONE (we couldn’t start working in the project until we had the second 12- hour meeting). o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Bunnie Huang ☛ Name_that_Ware,_May_2023⠀⇛ This is yet another fine ware contributed by jackw01. I suspect this one may be guessed quite quickly, but I’ll leave one hint anyways: there is more than one board in this assembly. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Reason ☛ Senators_Want_To_Declare_Fentanyl_a_National Security_Threat⠀⇛ Plus: SCOTUS won’t hear Reddit sex trafficking case, debt deal would increase spending on SNAP benefits, and more… # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ Eating_Disorder_Helpline_Takes_Down_Chatbot_After Its_Advice_Goes_Horribly_Wrong⠀⇛ AI chatbots aren’t much good at offering emotional support being—you know—not a human, and—it can’t be stated enough—not actually intelligent. That didn’t stop The National Eating Disorder Association from trying to foist a chatbot onto folks requesting aid in times of crisis. Things went about as well as you can expect, as an activist claims that instead of helping through emotional distress, the chatbot instead tried to needle her to lose weight and measure herself constantly. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Eating_disorder_non-profit_pulls_chatbot for_emitting_‘harmful_advice’⠀⇛ In reality, safe recovery is a multi-stage process that includes contemplation, compassion, and acceptance; psychotherapy; a treatment plan produced by doctors; removal of triggers; little or no focus on weight and appearance; and ongoing efforts to avoid a relapse. Counting calories and measuring body fat would appear antithetical to all or most of that. “Every single thing Tessa suggested were things that led to the development of my eating disorder,” Maxwell, who describes herself as a fat activist and weight inclusive consultant, said on Instagram. “This robot causes harm.” # ⚓ MIT Technology Review ☛ Longevity_enthusiasts_want_to create_their_own_independent_state._They’re_eyeing_Rhode Island.⠀⇛ Humans have been searching for the fountain of youth for thousands of years. But progress has been slow, to say the least. Though plenty of companies are working on ways to slow or reverse the process, it’s incredibly difficult and expensive to run a study to find out whether a treatment has helped people live longer. And health agencies like the World Health Organization don’t even consider aging to be a disease in the first place. Now a community of people is working on an alternative setup, including perhaps even establishing an independent state. Aging is “morally bad,” they argue, and it’s a problem that needs to be solved. They see existing regulations as roadblocks to progress and call for a different approach. Less red tape allows for more innovation, they say. People should be encouraged to self- experiment with unproven treatments if they wish. And companies shouldn’t be held back by national laws that limit how they develop and test drugs. # ⚓ LRT ☛ Lithuania’s_top_court_rules_lockdown_restrictions_on movement_were_constitutional⠀⇛ The Lithuanian government’s ban on indoor gatherings of more than two families or households and more than five persons during the Covid-19 lockdown did not go against the constitution, the Constitutional Court ruled on Wednesday. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong_lowers_’emergency’ response_level_for_Covid-19⠀⇛ Hong Kong has lowered its “emergency” response level for Covid-19 to “alert,” more than three years after the pandemic began. The government said it had considered the advice of World Health Organization (WHO), which said that Covid-19 no longer constituted a public health emergency of international concern, according to the statement issued on Tuesday. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ Critics_Thoroughly_Unimpressed_With_AI-Reimagined Mona_Lisa⠀⇛ Critics are speaking out against an AI-generated expansion of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa painting, among others, which fills the gaps previously left to the imagination. An image of the recreated painting shows an expansive background to the original painting that shows a canvas filled with imagery of Mona Lisa’s backdrop. # ⚓ Tedium ☛ Social_Network_Drift⠀⇛ One thing I’ve noticed with the recent social media diasporas that have emerged in the wake of Twitter’s decline is that the people who make up those diasporas don’t really seem to be pulling in new groups of people so much as giving the types of people that are already addicted to Twitter a new place to go. We are not bringing in new members of the club, for the most part—we are instead doing the social media equivalent of a ’90s revival night at the local hipster dance club. New generations are likely hanging out in other communities, or at least trying to carve out a corner of the internet that hasn’t been taken over by lame people. In a world where social networks abound, what leads people to try to find new places to hide out, instead of sticking with the current one? In today’s Tedium, I talk to the founders of Picnic, an emerging social network, about budding communities and the need for generational “white space.” — Ernie @ Tedium # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Twitter_now_worth_just_a_third_of_what Musk_paid_for_it⠀⇛ Twitter’s value continues to decline. Investment firm Fidelity reports that its stake in the bird site has lost value for the third time since Elon Musk took over last October. By Fidelity’s account, the company is now worth just a third of the $44 billion Musk paid for it. # § Windows TCO⠀➾ # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ Another_hospital_hit_by_ransomware: Mission_Community_Hospital⠀⇛ From the proof files, it appears that RansomHouse accessed the imaging system and image files as well as employee-related files and some financial reports and files. The only patient references in the proof files were older files in backups. Whether they obtained any current patient information or the EMR system remains to be seen. DataBreaches has reached out to RansomHouse on their Telegram channel but they have not been responsive in the past, so they may not answer this time, either. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Chrome_114_Released_With_18_Security Fixes⠀⇛ Chrome 114 stable brings 18 security fixes, including 13 for vulnerabilities reported by external researchers. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Organizations_Warned_of_Backdoor_Feature_in Hundreds_of_Gigabyte_Motherboards⠀⇛ A backdoor feature found in hundreds of Gigabyte motherboard models can pose a significant supply chain risk to organizations. [...] Researchers at firmware and hardware security company Eclypsium discovered that hundreds of motherboard models made by Taiwanese computer components giant Gigabyte include backdoor functionality that could pose a significant risk to organizations. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Firmware_Backdoor_Discovered_in_Gigabyte Motherboards,_250+_Models_Affected⠀⇛ Cybersecurity firm Eclypsium has discovered a backdoor in Gigabyte’s firmware that puts 271 different motherboards at risk. These include models with Intel and AMD chipsets from the last several years, all the way up to today’s Z790 and X670 SKUs. The vulnerability resides in a small updater program that Gigabyte employs to ensure that the motherboard’s firmware is always current. Apparently, it’s doing so via an unsecured implementation. Have you ever noticed that after a clean Windows installation, a program pops up offering to download the latest driver or firmware for you? Unfortunately, that little piece of code could provide a backdoor for criminals. Upon every system restart, a piece of code inside the firmware launches an updater program that connects to the Internet to check and download the latest firmware for the motherboard. Eclypsium assessed that Gigabyte’s implementation is unsafe and cybercriminals can use the exploit to install malware on the victim’s system. The big problem is that the updater program resides inside the motherboard’s firmware, so consumers can’t easily remove it. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Breaking_Enterprise_Silos_and_Improving Protection⠀⇛ When teams have a way to break down enterprise silos and see and understand what is happening, they can improve protection across their increasingly dispersed and diverse environment. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Millions_of_WordPress_Sites_Patched_Against Critical_Jetpack_Vulnerability⠀⇛ A decade-old critical vulnerability in Jetpack was force-patched on five million WordPress sites over the past few days. # ⚓ Bleeping Computer ☛ Kali_Linux_2023.2_Released_with_13_New Tools,_Pre-Built_HyperV_Image [Ed: Microsofters pushing Microsoft; Hyper-V is proprietary and back doored; there's no reason to choose Hyper-V for anything]⠀⇛ Kali Linux 2023.2, the second version of 2023, is now available with a pre-built Hyper-V image and thirteen new tools, including the Evilginx framework for stealing credentials and session cookies. # ⚓ KSOC_Shares_List_of_Top_Eight_Kubernetes_Vulnerabilities⠀⇛ Kubernetes Security Operations Center (KSOC) has published a list of the eight Kubernetes vulnerabilities that are most likely to be exploited. The list is based on an Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS) created by FIRST, a community of cybersecurity professionals that provides members with access to a range of collaboration # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ FTC_settles_with_Amazon_Ring_over hacking,_security_incidents⠀⇛ Thousands of Ring customers have been victims of cyberattacks that the commission alleged were in part due to poor data security practices. [...] According to a complaint filed on behalf of the FTC in a federal court, approximately 55,000 U.S. customers suffered serious account compromises over a period during which Ring failed to take necessary measures to prevent credential stuffing and brute force attacks. The attacks allowed hackers to try and access consumers’ accounts through a previously breached password or automated, repeated attempts at guessing credentials. # ⚓ Axios ☛ Amazon_to_pay_over_$30_million_in_FTC_settlements over_Ring,_Alexa_privacy_violations⠀⇛ Amazon will pay over $30 million to settle Federal Trade Commission (FTC) allegations that its Ring and Alexa divisions violated the privacy of users. # ⚓ Wladimir Palant ☛ More_malicious_extensions_in_Chrome_Web Store⠀⇛ Two weeks ago I wrote about the PDF_Toolbox extension_containing_obfuscated_malicious_code. Despite reporting the issue to Google via two different channels, the extension remains online. It even gained a considerable number of users after I published my article. A reader tipped me off however that the Zoom Plus extension also makes a request to serasearchtop [.]com. I checked it out and found two other versions of the same malicious code. And I found more extensions in Chrome Web Store which are using it. So now we are at 18 malicious extensions with a combined user count of 55 million. The most popular of these extensions are Autoskip for Youtube, Crystal Ad block and Brisk VPN: nine, six and five million users respectively. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Spyware_Found_in_Google_Play_Apps_With_Over 420_Million_Downloads [Ed: They only count the "unofficial" spyware, not GAFAM spyware and malware (which include Android OEM version too)]⠀⇛ Security researchers have discovered spyware code in 101 Android applications that had over 421 million downloads in Google Play. # ⚓ Linux_Container_Security_Primer⠀⇛ In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, where agility and scalability are paramount, traditional software deployment methods often fall short. Container technology is a game-changing innovation that has revolutionized how software is deployed, managed, and scaled. It offers many benefits, ensuring that applications run consistently regardless of the hosting environment. Safeguarding your digital assets is crucial for protecting sensitive data and preventing unauthorized access. It’s reported that security concerns remain a top concern related to container adoption. The most common container security incidents include vulnerabilities in container images, misconfigurations, unauthorized access, and attacks exploiting container runtime vulnerabilities. In this article, we’ll explore the underlying concepts, basic container security considerations, popular containerization platforms, security considerations for businesses, and more useful information on container security. So read on and explore how containerization shatters software deployment barriers. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Barracuda_Zero-Day_Exploited_to_Deliver Malware_for_Months_Before_Discovery⠀⇛ The recently discovered Barracuda zero-day vulnerability CVE-2023-2868 has been exploited to deliver malware and steal data since at least October 2022. # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ URL_on_Hundreds_of_Thousands_of_Maryland License_Plates_Redirects_to_an_Online_Filipino_Casino⠀⇛ Vice reports that in 2012, Maryland released a new license plate to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812. That license plate was apparently the default license plate for Maryland cars between 2012 and 2016, and featured a URL at the bottom to www.starspangled200.org. Sometime last year, however, that URL began to redirect to globeinternational.info—the homepage of a Filipino online casino. There, a scantily- clad woman advertises “Phillippines Best Betting Site.” # ⚓ WhichUK ☛ Microsoft_scam:_Outlook_and_Hotmail_users are_being_targeted_by_fake_‘fraud_protection’_emails⠀⇛ Scammers are trying to steal details via a spoofed Microsoft website # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Forbes ☛ TikTok_Creators’_Financial_Info,_Social Security_Numbers_Have_Been_Stored_In_China⠀⇛ TikTok uses various internal tools and databases from its Beijing-based parent ByteDance to manage payments to creators who earn money through the app, including many of its biggest stars in the United States and Europe. The same tools are used to pay outside vendors and small businesses working with TikTok. But a trove of records obtained by Forbes from multiple sources across different parts of the company reveals that highly sensitive financial and personal information about those prized users and third parties has been stored in China. The discovery also raises questions about whether employees who are not authorized to access that data have been able to. It draws on internal communications, audio recordings, videos, screenshots, documents marked “Privileged and Confidential,” and several people familiar with the matter. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Feds,_you’ll_need_a_warrant_for that_cellphone_border_search⠀⇛ It is the first US court to do so, to the delight of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which along with other advocacy groups has been fighting for years to narrow the scope of border searches. Under current law, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) can search anyone within 100 miles of an American national line, which covers a lot of people. “EFF is thrilled about this decision, given that we have been advocating for a warrant for border searches of electronic devices in the courts and Congress for nearly a decade,” said Sophia Cope, senior staff attorney, in a statement Tuesday. Cope expressed hope that the US Second Circuit will adopt the lower New York court’s interpretation if the case – United States vs. Smith (1:22-cr-00352-JSR) – is appealed. # ⚓ [Repeat] OpenRightsGroup ☛ Resist_Pre-Crime⠀⇛ Online content is being mined and used as digital evidence to create gang narratives.

If they say different things to different voters, it allows them to spread misinformation to fire up their supporters and deter people from going to the polls. Currently, there are no EU-wide rules governing political advertising, meaning each EU country has its own set of national laws. However, many of these laws are too outdated to keep up with the digital age, which has created a black hole in which high-level transparency requirements and limitations on targeting techniques of political advertisements are largely missing. # ⚓ EDRI ☛ Will_the_European_Union_allow_politicians_to use_your_personal_data_for_political_advertising?⠀⇛ Negotiations of the Regulation on transparency and targeting of political advertising are ending and there is no good news. A leak by POLITICO revealed that the European Commission presented three scenarios on how this regulation will impact the processing of special categories of personal data such as sexual orientation, religion or mental health. The Commission’s document creates a misleading dilemma between the use of sensitive data in online political advertisements versus ensuring an open online debate. Based on the Commission both are not possible. This stand aims that political parties may use our sensitive personal data to make political propaganda. Of course, this stands loses the point of the new law: protecting digital rights and the integrity of the political debate. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ FTC_settles_with_Amazon_Ring_over hacking,_security_incidents⠀⇛ # ⚓ EDRI ☛ USA_border_plan_requires_“continuous_and systematic”_transfers_of_biometric_data⠀⇛ Last year, it was revealed that the USA planned to launch Enhanced Border Security Partnerships (EBSPs) with other states around the world, seemingly targeting the EU, UK and Israel first.

Each year, about 11 million people apply, and only 55 thousand people are lucky enough to be randomly selected. Applicants have a 1_percent chance of winning. While in office, Trump implemented a number of policies that upended the lives of tens of thousands of people who had beaten the odds and won the Diversity Visa lottery. The widely-criticized Muslim_Ban is one of those policies, and its effects have been well documented. But Trump also implemented and extended lesser-known_policies, known as Presidential Proclamations10014 and 10052, under the guise of protecting the U.S. labor market after Covid-19 broke out, that dealt a devastating blow to winners of the 2020 and 2021 lottery.

Is that a good thing? o § Monopolies⠀➾ # § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Kluwer Patent Blog ☛ Fanaticism_and_legalism_at_the dawn_of_the_UPC:_how_UPC_fanaticism_has_left_the_UPC devoid_of_privileges_and_immunities [Ed: UPC is illegal and it'll have no privileges when a high court rules that it must be revoked]⠀⇛ # ⚓ Dennis Crouch/Patently-O ☛ Guest_Post:_Jillian Grennan,_Charting_New_Paths_in_Innovation:_Reflections from_Harvard’s_Innovation_Economics_Conference [Ed: Conflating patents with innovation, now with a gendered slant to distract from how harmful monopolies]⠀⇛ Recently, I had the privilege of being part of the Junior Innovation Economics Conference at Harvard Business School. This diverse gathering of scholars from fields as varied as management, technology, economics, finance, and public policy delved headlong into the intricate dynamics of invention and innovation policy. Several researchers spoke about issues relevant for better understanding diversity and inclusion in the inventive process and how to improve it. These included: documenting gender disparities in attribution for innovative output, understanding how “opt-in” organizational processes can unlock the innovative potential of engineers from underrepresented groups, and measuring how broader representation can help bring more valuable innovations to market. # ⚓ Kluwer Patent Blog ☛ 1_June_2023:_Birth_of_the Unitary_Patent_and_the_Unified_Patent_Court [Ed: Unified Patent Court is illegal and it will explode on the EU]⠀⇛ # ⚓ 17th_Annual_Meeting_with_Member_States [Ed: Criminals meet their facilitators (institutional corruption)]⠀⇛ The 17th Annual Meeting for the European Patent Network took place in Lisbon from 26 to 27 May, marking the first face-to-face gathering since the shift to digital meetings in 2020. # ⚓ JUVE ☛ Powell_Gilbert_opens_new_Ireland_office_on_eve of_UPC [Ed: Paid-for spam by propaganda site of Team UPC, not news]⠀⇛ # ⚓ JUVE ☛ Leading_UPC_figures:_Who_helped_shape_Europe’s new_patent_court? [Ed: And yet more paid-for spam by propaganda site of Team UPC, not news; JUVE has been lobbying for criminals because those criminals paid JUVE. JUVE's editor found out there's more money in crime than in truth or reporting. Later on JUVE will help them shame courts and pressurising judges to allow a crime to go unpunished because doing justice would "embarrass the EU" or "admonish the kangaroo court" (see what Microsoft did in the UK after the CMA decision on Activision). When press becomes an active facilitator of crime one might wonder if they too are subjected to stricter regulation, especially in light of the bribes.]⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_to_correct_SPC_data_for_a_patent_opted_out_of_the UPC [Ed: UPC is illegal and firms that promoted this illegal system by lying through bribed media and gullible politicians are now selling illegal services]⠀⇛ # § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ TTAB Blog ☛ TTAB_Posts_June_2023_Hearing_Schedule⠀⇛ The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (Tee- Tee-Ā-Bee) has scheduled nine (9) oral hearings for the month of June 2023. All of the hearings will be held via video conference. Briefs and other papers for each case may be found at TTABVUE via the links provided. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Walled Culture ☛ Warhol_understood_what transformative_art_looked_like,_the_US_Supreme_Court doesn’t⠀⇛ This goes to the heart of these arguments about fair use. They require judges to exercise what is essentially an artistic rather than legalistic judgement. Even tiny changes to the original can be transformative and create a new creative work. Warhol is one of the best examples of this, since many of his works take existing images – sometimes completely mundane ones like soup can labels – and turn them into something that is genuinely new and creative. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Court_Orders_ISPs_to_Block_“Spider- Man”_Piracy…_Before_it_Happens⠀⇛ The Delhi High Court has handed down a broad blocking order that aims to stop piracy before it happens. Following an application by Sony Pictures, more than 100 pirate sites will be preemptively blocked by Indian ISPs to prevent ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider- Verse’ piracy. The blocking order also applies to domain names that have yet to be registered. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Iconic_Torrent_Site_RARBG_Shuts_Down, All_Content_Releases_Stop⠀⇛ RARBG, one of the world’s largest torrent sites, has said “farewell” to millions of users. The site, which was a prominent and stable source of new movie and TV show releases, cited a variety of reasons behind its decision to cease operations. The surprise shutdown marks the end of an era. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ RARBG:_Over_267,000_Movie_&_TV_Show Magnet_Links_Appear_Online⠀⇛ A few hours ago the team behind veteran torrent site RARBG announced that after 15 years online, the curtain had come down for the final time. The effect on the public torrent site scene will become apparent in the coming days but for those more interested in historical record keeping, all is not lost. A few hours ago an archive of RARBG magnet links, spanning over 267,000 movie and TV show releases, suddenly appeared online. # ⚓ Vice Media Group ☛ Legendary_Torrent_Site_RARBG_Shuts Down_Due_to_War,_COVID,_Inflation⠀⇛ “We are sorry :(” the administrators wrote as a final message on the long-running piracy website. * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal⠀➾ # ⚓ Hospitalist_Inspirations⠀⇛ I’ve decided to document some reflections on my work as a hospitalist. Plenty of things to talk about! I work regular medicine floors, as well as our step-down unit. We have a nice collection of problems with different organ systems here… o § Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Computing_and_the_Environment⠀⇛ Computing has often been seen in the past as more environmentally friendly than using lots of paper, but that is not necessarily the case. # ⚓ brain_dump_of_hackvr_related_things⠀⇛ texture support might be fun to get PS1/N64/etc- like graphics instead of forcing the more 80s-like style my version of hackvr has. # § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ A_Tangential_Remark_on_Procrustean_Epistemologies⠀⇛ It is a discussion about the problem with computer system whose data model does not fit the mental model of domain experts, and which forces those experts’ to distort their data to fit the form demanded by the computer system and – by doing so – introducing inaccuracies to the data itself. It is well worth a read on its own, but it reminded me of something that recently happened to me, which was admittedly not that but shared the same cause of entry of some information into an ill-fitting data model. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
