⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Embrace Windows Under the Name 'Linux'?⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 17, 2023 Microsoft spinners are spreading and boosting this, especially in recent days (clickbait if not googlebombing, too): 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Not really: 'Microsoft embraces its inner penguin with Linux-powered Windows AI Studio' - Proprietary spyware on pseudo-Linux subsystem for Windows⦈ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇'Microsoft embraces its inner penguin' in Google News⦈ THE age of misinformation/disinformation is upon us. So why can't Microsoft too ride this wave? This is classic E.E.E. You know how it works, right? Amid yet_more_layoffs, Microsoft becomes a parasite. It tries to hijack its_"most_potent_Operating System_competitor". Like limiting some access or aspects of "ChatGPT" (full access) to Edge users for no technical reasons, even if it's just a knockoff browser (Chromium-based browsers are about 70% of the market). They just try to "extend" (the second "E" in "E.E.E.") popular things to discourage the adoption of the original/s. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇To use the new Windows AI Studio tool, you must first install Linux. No, it's not a joke⦈ Maybe not "a joke", but partly false/misleading news. This Microsoft advocacy site even spread this nonsense to Yahoo News, making it more visible in Gulag Noise (Google News). The goal is to 'embrace' and 'extend' so-called 'Linux' with 'features' that only Windows users will get. Don't fall for it. Use real GNU/Linux. Keep spreading the real thing. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Keep spreading⦈ Remember that WSL did not even have Linux in it! Despite the name, with an "L" in it (it's a misnomer anyway, Linux was added only to WSL2, and it should be called "Linux subsystem for Windows", or LSW for short). █

experience. He is a participant in the creation of all things.” --Robert M. Pirsig § Part A: In the previous essay, “Making_Community,_Part_A”, we saw how existing socioeconomic mechanisms divert us immediately from any concept of sustainable practices. There I present an idea as to how our socioeconomic processes can be rebuilt from the bottom-up so as to found a better, more sustainable way of living. In that previous essay we looked at the psychosocial “microeconomics” underlying our lives and here in “Part B” we attempt to encompass a wider arena. § Money Illusion/Property Illusion In the study of economics the term “money illusion” - or “price illusion” - is understood as the internal mental operations wherein the value of something is constructed in terms of nominal money spent, as opposed to being derived from more concrete terms. Economists, however, do not explore the mental operations which differentiate the “real value” of things from incidental nominal values, though the mechanism for determination of nominal value is generally held to be that as calculated in the marketplace. Little work has been done to connect personal daily life in the community with economic notions of “real value”, even though it is generally well understood that the pursuit of personal validation and improved status within the community is a basic human motivation . This is why the important point of our focus is the “transaction”: the transaction is where individuals’ mental determinations of values meet together in the marketplace. It should be recognized that with each transaction something born-of and composed of human life itself is transferred. Instead of product value being defined in terms of "money spent", we can see products, property and services as directly related to "human investment" – the values which working people and community express in a product, service, or property. § Human Investment and the Community Transaction Earlier we found (in Part A) that the intentional application of each individuals’ understanding of the entirety of individual and community-derived value judgments during each transaction may be the best way to bring about definition and realization of the actual value of goods and services within community. However (and this is most important), we also need to understand that the “actual” value of goods and services cannot be determined completely and immediately by the participants “in-the-act” of any particular transaction. Rather, authentic assessments of value can only come about through community- life experience while engaged in the ongoing living/transacting-process. Transactions performed as rooted in an internal understanding of a “common good” and guided by transparent knowledge of the circumstances and consequences of the transaction provide a synthesis which will empirically verify the value- nature of transactional relationships in the evolution of the sustainable community culture. “Community-transactions” give rise to the “real” value of things through extension of individuals’ community-transactions into the ongoing evolving experience of the community which then informs the value- determinative nature of the community-transactions themselves. In this way the social nature of every transaction gives rise to a sustainable social dynamic: knowledge of the values resolved during Community-transactions will derive actual validity through the positive and negative life-experience of the community while related to the ongoing exchanges over time. So we see how a community engaged in community-transactions will bring economic activity into alignment with a sustainable way of living. People who undertake this mode of living in trust with each other can properly be termed “Friends”, and the transactions themselves resemble a form of “sharing”. Members of this form of community will be able to realize their true being by engaging in the creation and sharing of the material, artistic, and spiritual “things” of the community as the things of living life. § Craftspeople and Teams Craftspeople inherently understand something of what we have been saying – they identify themselves directly with their work and with the products. In the very same way larger enterprises in our community-transaction communities must identify themselves with their own concrete goals and activities as their contribution to the life of the community. Larger enterprises will be constructed of lone artists and teams - and enterprises will resemble long-term projects conducted in direct connection with the authentic dimensions of the endeavor. Note that this can well proceed without the accumulation of money and material power in the business itself! Such an arrangement provides contributing individuals and their teams direct and immediate influence in the community, gaining honor and status in their own names - not indirectly under some abstract brand-name or through use of material power. In such a community there will likely be no separation between what is art and what is a material consumable thing – and our notions of individuals’ life- fulfillment through “bucket-list experiences” will vanish. Members of the new communities will be able to realize their true being by engaging in the creation and sharing of the material, artistic, and spiritual “things” of the community - the things of living life. Since the transaction itself is not motivated by greed or the accumulation of profit, it is open and free to a far larger domain of concern. Things such as “copyright” and “patent” will be seen as nonsensical when honor and status are found directly with a common good as the operational goal. In such a community, without the accumulation of wealth as a measure of social status, we will see hierarchical organizations come to be disfavored and “partner” relationships prevail. This alone will defuse much of the current tensions inherent in the social order. Where the welfare of the community is held highly there is little room for the gaining of advantage – and hence little possibility of being cheated. Much freedom is preserved, even enhanced, where any “thing” can be exchanged for any other, at the discretion of those involved. Here we see the emergence of a sense of the “moral” arise from a simple act conducted with responsibility centered upon the ritual of fellowship in the exchange of goods and services. Within community-transactions, our desires seeking the shimmering mirage of “things” becomes re-visualized into moral/artistic performances coincident with living life. Through such conduct all members of the community will be elevated, survive, and prosper. § Community Transactions Building Sustainable Communities Products are the product of humans in community. Here, now our perspective changes from the abstract and faulty focus on nominal values with its dependence upon regulations, laws, and such into a mode of maintaining the dynamics of sustainable community. In a community of community-transaction, something born-of and composed of human life and community life is engaged immediately and authentically. Here in our sustainable community the ritual of the hand-shake will mean more than anything written on paper, and each community-transaction can be seen as a kind of communion. If this can be realized, we see then that the transaction has something sacred to it and thereby will be instrumental in the sustainability and prosperity of the community. The processes and customs lived-out by individuals and teams in this environment will inherently involve active participation in the day-to-day functioning, decision-making, and operation of the community as it moves forward. As sustainable communities prosper, with Friends finding authentic joy in living, naturally this will attract new members. Evangelical efforts should not be necessary as such, but information-sharing with the wider world community would spread the news of a new way of living, where here we find the same sort of joy people find in the pot-luck supper, in the pleasurable act of faith where each of us brings something different to the common table. Joyful celebration of life together should be more than enough for all. § Further Readings: Chris Hedges.

Cats With a Licence to Print Money (Lawyers)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 17, 2023 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇House_pet_cat_getting_a_chin_scratch_and_looking_contented⦈_ THE subject of this post has been preying on my mind as I needed to write about it but worried it would harm the SFLC's reputation. Self-censorship is generally not a good thing, but stating the motivations in advance is of utmost importance. It's actually not about the SFLC alone. It's about an issue I've been aware of for years. I saw sites condemning the SFLC (no link, no need!) - and by extension the FSF - for high salaries given to lawyers like Daniel Ravicher, who seems to have embraced right-wing fanaticism. There's a rift and some genuine disputes. Some aspects of the disputes are covered in old comments, but this post is not about the dispute still ongoing between SFC (imitation organisation, splinter group) and SFLC. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Mishi_Choudhary⦈_ There's nothing wrong with being a lawyer per se. We don't categorically blast all lawyers, not when we deal with patent law or even defence lawyers who protect criminals from lengthy jail sentences. To be clear, this is not a rant about the occupation as a whole. In this post I wish to speak about SFLC, but I want to state upfront that the SFLC does good work, respects the founders of GNU/Linux, and this is not a condemnation. I kept wanting to cover this in video form to avoid being misquoted or quoted out of context, but videos limit visibility/audience. Without further ado (and the caveat above): So a few weeks ago I checked the IRS filings from the SFLC, only to find diminishing funds (SFC probably poaching some clients or prospective clients of theirs). I also noticed that Mishi Choudhary was taking an obscenely high salary - higher than Professor Moglen's and more or less on par with that_of Sandler_at_SFC (when adding up the bonuses). (Please note we refer to Choudhary as "Mishi" from here on. We'll refer to her by her first name because Moglen does too, even in public.) Let's assume for a while that our focus should be on what the SFLC does rather than how much its people make (even people who already departed). One might leap ahead and argue along the lines of, if the SFLC does good, positive work, then power to them! SFLC staff should be proportionally compensated. I spoke to some people about Mishi and others, I wrote a little about this in IRC, and I found myself puzzled, even a tad conflicted. Some people did not trust Mishi or doubted her true motivation (money, freedom, or what?). To me, as I kept insisting, Mishi was a good person. She linked to Techrights on occasions, she "liked" things that I wrote, and I never saw her saying something I can object to. It's not clear what happened 16_months_ago, so I won't speculate about her departure. Some people know what happened. I don't. The official press release says: After 17 years with SFLC, Legal Director Mishi Choudhary will depart to become General Counsel and Senior Vice-President at Virtru. Ms. Choudhary began working with SFLC in 2006, held the first SFLC Graduate Fellowship for LLM study at Columbia Law School, and became Legal Director in 2015. She has represented SFLC clients across the entire range of FOSS communities, including the Free Software Foundation, Cloud Native Computing Foundation, Linux Foundation, Debian, Ethereum, the Apache Software Foundation, and OpenSSL. She founded and developed SFLC’s FOSS Code of Conduct practice, assisting FOSS non-profits and unaffiliated projects to develop and administer CoC policies. She has served as the Code of Conduct mediator for the Linux kernel community, among many others. In 2010, Ms. Choudhary founded SFLC.in, SFLC’s sister organization in India. Under her leadership and with SFLC’s support, SFLC.in has become the premier Internet freedom policy, research and training institute in humanity’s largest society. “There is no part of the success of SFLC to which Mishi has not profoundly contributed,” said Columbia Law School Professor Eben Moglen, SFLC’s founder and Executive Director. “Her brilliance and precision as a lawyer; her adroitness as a mediator, negotiator and diplomat; her style and wit as a writer and speaker; her blunt honesty and unfailing judgment as a counselor and law partner have made us what we are. She is a creator and builder; it has been a privilege and honor to practice with her. I look forward to continuing to work with Mishi in other roles, and I wish her all success in her new endeavors.” “I am deeply grateful to Eben for opening the wonderful world of collaborative production and Internet Freedom to me,” Ms. Choudhary says. “I have had the great opportunity to represent some of the world’s most important FOSS projects who are on the cutting edge of innovation. Now I take the knowledge and relationships built over years to bring more privacy and security to the world. I am very excited to join the team at Virtru and will continue to work in Free and Open Source community in my new role.” I do not wish to speculate that she left because they offered more money. I honestly don't think she values money more than freedom because she had been involved in India's branch of the FSF (close to SFLC.in) well before leaving the SFLC, where she made over a million bucks. Yesterday we published the_transcript_of_a_video_portion where Mishi spoke. The video portion names some client they had, some lessons they learned along the way, and there was nothing 'rogue' about it. That's why we promoted the message. One might say that making over $200k a year by signing papers and speaking is getting overpaid, but the same can be said about most lawyers. If her work promotes Software Freedom, and essentially helps Free software projects, does that make it ethical? In a rich European country the salary is something in this_range: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Average Legal Counsel Salary in Germany⦈ Mishi makes (or made) far more than that. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Cat_resting_head_on_arm_of_scratched_chair⦈_Someone who watched the clip said that Eben Moglen tried really hard to encourage her, but looking at the video she appeared bored and disinterested most of the time there on the stage. "The main thing, in the face of attempts to cancel Eben Moglen," this person added, "is to amplify the message he has promoted." That is the real goal of Kuhn and Sandler trying_to_close_him_out_of_government_proceedings, it seems. I've checked where Mishi works now. The company sells proprietary software, but unless she does something bad (personally), it is not her fault. Is she there to assure licence compliance? This_official_page, which boasts the controversial Michael Chertoff, suggests it is connected to the OpenTDF project, which is outsourced to Microsoft GitHub (proprietary). It's closely connected to the National Security Agency (NSA). Professor Moglen is_not_a_fan of_those_people because they restrict adoption of Free software, falsely tying it to illegal activities. The OSI showed classic cases of revolving doors (e.g. companies paying people inside the OSI for favours by contracting them for work; it is a form of corruption Bruce Perens spoke about). Why did Mishi leave? She was paid very well already. To assume something other than a motivation to "move on" would be counterproductive. Given the time that she left, it's unlikely to be connected to the dispute between SFC and SFLC. █ ⢿⣿⣷⠘⠋⠘⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠓⢦⣤⣄⣈⠙⠻⢶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠶⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤

It was patched more than 2 years ago, so why does this FUD make a comeback all of a sudden? CISA, where Microsoft_writes_policies, is at it again. We want to alert readers, at the very least by citing the material in question. We want to demonstrate our point by at least bringing up one media report and the original from CISA. Yes, there are more examples, but 2 ought to suffice. "log4j"_-_connected_to_the_above_-_is_still_being_brought_up_this_year by the Linux_Foundation (by media sites that it is funding! Linux_Foundation_head honchos_worship_Bill_Gates_for_computer_security) and it is still getting milked by the Microsofters, an associate reminds us, and it is now softening the heads of government officials. see the 2 CISA items below (from Daily Links): 1. ⚓ CISA_urges_vendors_to_get_rid_of_default_passwords⠀⇛ The call to action comes shortly after CISA, the National Security Agency and Office of the Director of National Intelligence released additional secure-by-design guidance for open source software development. The release is a product of the Enduring Security Framework’s Software Supply Chain Working Group, which is made up of NSA, ODNI and CISA. The guidance is a part of a larger effort to secure the software supply chain that stems from an executive order on improving U.S. cybersecurity. “Software incorporated and/or utilized through open source may have embedded issues. It is imperative that we pay close attention to how these modules are bundled with the software at release,” the release said. 2. ⚓ Securing_the_Software_Supply_Chain:_Recommended_Practices_for_Managing Open-Source_Software_and_Software_Bill_of_Materials [PDF]⠀⇛ Similarly, the ESF Software Supply Chain Working Panel established this second phase of guidance to provide further details for several of the Phase I Recommended Practices Guide activities. This guidance may be used to describe, assess, and measure security practices relative to the software lifecycle. Additionally, the suggested practices listed herein may be applied across a software supply chain’s acquisition, deployment, and operational phases. The software supplier is responsible for liaising between the customer and software developer. Accordingly, vendor responsibilities include ensuring the integrity and security of software via contractual agreements, software releases and updates, notifications, and the mitigation of vulnerabilities. This guidance contains recommended best practices and standards to aid customers in these tasks. This document aligns with industry best practices and principles that software developers and software suppliers can reference. These principles include managing open-source software and software bills of materials to maintain and provide awareness about software security. Also note their use of the term "open-source" instead of the normal "open source". The hallmark of openwashing PR. We kindly and humbly wish not to speculate or comment any further. We just present that for what it is. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣼⣠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣧⣤⣅⣄⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣾⣇⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡟⠙⠛⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡞⠛⠿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠸ ⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠏⠻⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣩⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⢻⡯⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣧⣤⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠋⠉⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⢤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⡿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣶⣤⡀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠙⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣷⣽ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⠖⠛⠙⠛⠻⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⢠⡄⢠⣤⢠⣤⡤⣤⠄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠘⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠛⠚⠓⠘⠟⠚⠛⠃⠛⠀⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠙⠛⠿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⢉⠉⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢉⣉⠉⠙⠛⠛⢛⣛⡛⠛⠛⠛⡛⠛⠛⠛⢛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠙⠿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠗⡿⣏⡷⡾⡾⠀⣿⣾⣷⣿⣾⢻⣶⣾⣿⣿⡷⣟⣻⣿⣾⣿⢳⣿⣾⢻⣿⠀⢯⣨⢽⣿⣿⣷⢸⡷⢻⡟⣟⡿⣏⣿⡷⣟⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠚⠚⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⡀⠀⠀⡀⣀⢀⡀⢀⣀⡀⢀⠀⡀⣀⠀⢠⡀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣠⢀⣀⡀⡄⣀⠀⣀⣀⢠⢀⡀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⢿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣤⠾⡼⠿⡿⢿⠿⡽⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠏⢿⠇⠸⡽⣻⠇⠸⣿⠼⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⢻⠽⠿⠿⣿⣯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠤⣄⣀⣠⣄⣀⢀⢀⣤⣄⠀⣤⣤⣉⣀⣀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠶⠛⠿⠛⠛⠿⠻⠾⠛⠻⠀⠋⠉⠿⠏⠿⠺⠟⠛⠛⠻⠟⠛⠻⠿⠻⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1154 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Links 17/12/2023: China Ban on Apple’s iPhone and a Moment of Madness in Threads⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 17, 2023 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Leftovers o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Proprietary/Artificial_Intelligence_(AI) o Security # Privacy/Surveillance o Defence/Aggression o Environment # Energy/Transportation # Wildlife/Nature o Finance o AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics o Censorship/Free_Speech o Civil_Rights/Policing o Monopolies/Monopsonies # Patents # Trademarks # Copyrights # Gemini*_and_Gopher # Personal/Opinions # Technology_and_Free_Software # Programming * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ New York Times ☛ Merle_Goldman,_a_Leading_Expert_on_Communist China,_Dies_at_92⠀⇛ A lifelong academic, she stood apart in her ability to communicate her insights about the country to nonacademic readers. o ⚓ Kev Quirk ☛ A_Moment_of_Madness⠀⇛ In a moment of madness I wanted to see what all the fuss was about, and I decided to sign up for Threads. Problem is, I don’t have an Instagram account (I didn't realise one was required). …and so, still wanting to sign up and test it out, I signed up for Instagram. I entered a disposable_email address, fake name, and date of birth. Immediately my account was suspended for no apparent reason. There was, however, and option to appeal. So I smashed that appeal button to within an inch of its life. o ⚓ Patrick_Cloke:_Matrix_Intentional_Mentions explained⠀⇛ Previously I have written about how push_rules_generate notifications and how read_receipts_mark_notificiations as_read in the Matrix protocol. This article is about a change that I instigated to improve when a “mention” (or “ping”) notification is created. (This is a “highlight” notification in the Matrix specification.) This was part of the work I did at Element to reduce unintentional_pings. I preferred thinking of it in the positive — that we should only generate a mention on purpose, hence “intentional” mentions. MSC3952 details the technical protocol changes, but this serves as a bit of a higher-level overview (some of this content is copied from the MSC). This blog post assumes that default push rules are enabled, these can be heavily modified, disabled, etc. but that is ignored in this post. o ⚓ Patrick_Cloke:_Matrix Presence⠀⇛ I put together some notes on presence when implementing multi-device_support_for_presence in Synapse, maybe this is helpful to others! This is a combination of information from the specification, as well as some information about how Synapse works. These notes are true as of the v1.9 of the Matrix spec and also cover some Matrix spec changes which may or may not have been merged since. o ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ ‘Small_stories’_add_up_to_big_impact⠀⇛ The new year is a time for taking stock, reflecting on the past 12 months, and making plans for the future. o ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ ‘One_of_the_best_jobs_in_the_world’⠀⇛ In the almost four decades that I’ve been a photographer for the Monitor, I’ve never known exactly where photo assignments will take me. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Repairing_An_HP_Power_Supply⠀⇛ One of the interesting things about living in modern times is that a confluence of the Internet and rapid changes in the electronics industry means that test gear that used to be astronomically priced is now super affordable. Especially if, like [Frankie Mashockie], you can do a little repair work. He picked up an HP6038A power supply for $50. We couldn’t find the original list price, but even refurbs from “professional” sources go for around $800. However, the $50 price came with a “for parts” disclaimer. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Nvidia_rushes_to_deliver_modified_Hey_Hi_ (AI)_GPU_chips_to_China_customers,_allegedly_places_'Super Hot_Run'_priority_order_with_TSMC⠀⇛ Nvidia places urgent orders with TSMC to make Hey Hi (AI) GPUs destined for China. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Kingston_and_Lexar_parent_company_teams_up to_address_Chinese_memory_market_amidst_US_sanctions⠀⇛ In response to ongoing U.S.-China tensions, Kingston teams up with Longsys. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Mods_Turn_Junk_UPS_Into_A_Long-Endurance_Beast⠀⇛ If you’ve got a so-called uninterruptible power supply (UPS) on your system, you’re probably painfully aware that the “uninterruptible” part has some pretty serious limits. Most consumer units are designed to provide power during a black out only long enough to gracefully shut down your system. But with a few hacks like these, you can stretch that time out and turn it into a long-endurance UPS. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Inside_Electronic_Gain_Control⠀⇛ Normally, if you want to control the gain of an amplifier, you’ll use a variable resistor. You know, like a volume control. But what if you want to control the amplifier’s gain with a voltage?

It was at a big arena. They were good, and I enjoyed it, but I was left dissatisfied. It was crazy loud. I had ear plugs, but the bass was shaking my chest even though we were near the back. From where we were sitting the band members were visible but tiny. Good thing we could see them on the many-screened backdrop. Someone had gone to a lot of effort to make visual effects for the backdrop, which was quite impressive but not what I was there for: it felt like well made visual filler. By about half way through I was thirsty, but to get out of the middle of the crowd and come back with a drink seemed like a lot of hard work. # ⚓ Servant,_you_know_it_ain't_easy⠀⇛ I don't believe in such a thing as convincing others. That they are *other* to begin with implies a conceptuality chasm unbridgeable by aspects of reality (called "individuals") that are separate by definition. So why do I bother writing? Not to convince, but as an invitation for already like-minded others to play. # ⚓ Job_Woes⠀⇛ The car is fairly messed up. The accelerator just intermittently stops working, which is not great! When it is working, I can be cruising at a consistent speed and the RPMs suddenly go up to 5000 just to maintain. Yikes-a-roni. # ⚓ stream_X⠀⇛ I feel encumbered by manic twisted sugarflies burning glistening retina help under the skin. sink in sink in sink into the skin. exploding every second and feeling like one moment at a time is impossible, it's no way to live, not really. the things that happened and are happening and will happen are too different. it's too linear. and it's not anything to write home about. not anything about which to write home. my strange obsession with prepositions persists. my strange alienation. the mystery of all that is. why does anything exist. how does it. I was looking into my daughter's eyes and her pupils dilated. I marveled at this biological technology. what divine design made this possible? what drives evolution? what does it maximize? what does it want from us and our meager flesh? when will it end and when will it become clear? # ⚓ Isolation⠀⇛ The day before one of my culture’s biggest celebrations, when family is supposed to be all together and shit, I realized I’m just... utterly alone. # § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ The_Internet_is_for_Threads_and_Instagram⠀⇛ We have created all this internet technology, have laid glassfiber cables across the world, built server farms and data centers, crazy Kubernetes clusters, containers and self- healing services. Elon Musk shoots thousands of Starlink satellites into the orbit... (exaggerating) To deliver photos of Instagram stars across the globe - along with loads of social media, porn, consumer goods, material presents because Christmas, etc. Imagine a 20-something girl, slender figure, 1 to 2 hours of make up, who positions herself in front of her "made for Intagram" lighting and camera equipment and shoots photos. So artificial - and their bodies and figures and make-up say nothing really. They could be advertising for some leggings, for some makeup, whatever. # ⚓ Perhaps_USENET_is_more_my_kind_of_smol?⠀⇛ installing the "slrn" newsreader (I wanted 'trn', but building it quickly became more work than I could abide..), and messing with configuring it per my liking. And I'll be... it works - including posting! Next step is investigating newsgroups to see if any are "up my alley". The goal is to find a place where subject matters intersected with participants intersected with ongoing reply interaction lead to a non-empty set. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Further_Concurrent_Logic_Programming⠀⇛ I have made some minor changes to KLIC, although I have no plans to maintain a fork and am just waiting to contribute back upstream.. It is a perfectly capable language, but has raised some more philosophical questions. # ⚓ Starting_a_new_brev_project⠀⇛ Brev has doesn’t have any boiler plate. I just open a project-name.brev file and start hacking. Now that I am using git more, I’ve started making a folder for it first, project-name/project- name.brev. And then I hack away. I have a shell script that when compiling adds the (import brev mdg) to the top automatically.

This primarily applies to internal contributors; we are happy to write documentation as required for people who have volunteered their time to contribute code. What does it mean that "documentation must be written on new features"? For supervision, this means that: [...] o ⚓ James G ☛ Advent_of_Technical_Writing:_Authoring_Tools⠀⇛ When someone contributes a blog post or documentation to the Roboflow website, we ask that they write their contributions in specific tools. For blog posts, we ask that contributions are delivered in a Google Document. For product documentation, we ask that the documentation is written in GitBook, our documentation tool of choice. For open source documentation, we ask that documentation is in a PR so that it can be reviewed alongside any code that has changed. o ⚓ New York Times ☛ Vera_Molnar,_Pioneer_of_Computer_Art,_Dies_at 99⠀⇛ “Vera Molnar is one of the very few artists who had the conviction and perseverance to make computer-based visual art at a time when it was not taken seriously as an art form, with critics denouncing the emergent form since they did not believe that the artist’s hand was evident in the work,” Michael Bouhanna, the global head of digital art at Sotheby’s, wrote in an email. o ⚓ Manuel Moreale ☛ Pirating_social_media⠀⇛ If we’re talking social media, what part of the whole experience is the pirateable product?

Let’s pirate something now, shall we? o ⚓ Kev Quirk ☛ Threads_and_the_Fediverse⠀⇛ Lots of people on Mastodon have been losing their shit over Threads joining the fediverse, so I wanted to give my opinion on this whole shit show. The fediverse is awash with calls to block Threads at an instance level. As co-admin of Fosstodon, I've been asked on many occasions whether we will be banning Threads at the instance level. We won't be and here's why... [...] This one I can get behind. No one wants to see ads on the fediverse, and you can bet your bottom dollar that if there's a way for Meta to do this, they abso-fucking- lutely will. [...] This is 100% going to get me some flack on Mastodon (remember...reactionary). Which is why I decided to post it here and not on the Fosstodon Hub. I hope the fedi proves me wrong, so we can all just get along and enjoy our day. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ Trying_to_communicate_with_whales_is_like talking_to_extraterrestrials⠀⇛ In a flurry of exchanged messages, the scientists sent a "contact" call that drew Twain's attention and had her circling their boat for around 20 minutes. She responded to every burst of sound from the scientists and matched the intervals of delay between sounds in what they called in a press release a "conversational style." While the scientists understood they were saying some equivalent of "hello" to Twain when she arrived, that's about as far as their understanding went. Luckily, there's a theory for that—in this case, a mathematical one called information theory. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ The_World's_Oldest_Settlements_Were_Built by_a_Culture_Nobody_Expected⠀⇛ What were they protecting? # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Even_Sleeping_Volcanoes_Can_Hide_an Explosive_Surprise_Deep_Inside⠀⇛ We can't be complacent. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Physicist_Discovers_'Paradox-Free'_Time Travel_Is_Theoretically_Possible⠀⇛ "The maths checks out." o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Daniel Miessler ☛ Purposelessness—Not_Social_Media—is Causing_Our_Kids'_Depression⠀⇛ These are all signals pulling kids in multiple directions. They obscure and reduce their internal voice, or stop them from developing one at all. And the result is devastating. It makes kids feel like everyone around them has it figured out—except for them. And that disconnect—that feeling of isolation—is what makes life unbearable. # ⚓ [Old] Fatherly ☛ Frank_Oz_Says_Sesame_Street_Has_Gone Downhill._Is_He_Right?⠀⇛ Frank Oz, the brilliant puppeteer behind such beloved staples of pop culture as Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal, Grover, Bert and so many more, has recently thrown down a gauntlet. “Unfortunately ‘Sesame Street’ is only a shadow of what it was,” Oz said during SXSW this year. “They’re just aiming it to little kids. And I’m unhappy about that.” Is Frank Oz right? Is Sesame Street in the 21st century, not the pure and perfect bastion of children’s media it was in years past? As someone who became unhealthily obsessed with Sesame Street following the birth of my first son four years ago, I have to reluctantly agree with Frank Oz. Sesame Street in its current incarnation is not bad by any estimation. It’s still an extraordinarily well-made children’s show but as Oz asserted, it’s overwhelmingly a show for children, and small children at that, and a shadow of what it once was. It’s still good but it used to be brilliant, transcendent, a goddamned work of art, the gold standard of children’s entertainment, one of American entertainment’s all-time greats. # ⚓ CBC ☛ Judge_orders_former_PPC_candidate_to_stop_calling himself_an_engineer⠀⇛ David Hilderman, who ran for the PPC in the Saanich—Gulf Islands riding in 2021, has a university degree in engineering, but is not licensed as a professional engineer, according to a recent B.C. Supreme Court judgment. Engineer is a protected title in certain contexts in B.C. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Ken Shirriff ☛ Two_interesting_XOR_circuits_inside_the Intel_386_processor⠀⇛ Intel's 386 processor (1985) was an important advance in the x86 architecture, not only moving to a 32-bit processor but also switching to a CMOS implementation. I've been reverse-engineering parts of the 386 chip and came across two interesting and completely different circuits that the 386 uses to implement an XOR gate: one uses standard-cell logic while the other uses pass-transistor logic. In this article, I take a look at those circuits. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ TSMC_will_start_equipping_the_2nm_fab_in April_2024⠀⇛ Hsinchu Science Park Director discloses TSMC's plans to start 2nm Fab equipment move-in. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ A_Dentist_Reveals_What_Happens_to_Your Teeth_as_You_Get_Older⠀⇛ 7 crucial tips to protect your smile. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Spotify_Is_Officially_Testing_an Artificial_Intelligence_Playlist_Feature_Following_AI_DJ_and Daylist_Rollouts,_Video_Shows⠀⇛ But evidence suggests that the AI playlist tool could become available to a larger number of Spotify users sooner rather than later, as the service has long been investing heavily in AI. To be sure, Spotify’s AI DJ debuted in the US and Canada in February, expanded into Ireland and the UK in May, and reached some 50 additional countries in August. Then, September brought an AI playlist called Daylist, which, in keeping with its name, generates playlists based upon one’s listening habits at various points throughout the day. # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ Air_Force’s_new_policy_sets guardrails_around_generative_AI⠀⇛ The Air Force is putting in place guardrails for the service to test and experiment with commercial generative artificial intelligence. Air Force Chief Information Officer Venice Goodwine, who signed a new AI policy on Wednesday, said that she created an innovation zone within the Air Force’s Office 365 environment that will allow service members to experiment with the technology within a safe environment. # ⚓ New York University ☛ Women_may_pay_a_"MOM_PENALTY"_when_AI is_used_in_hiring,_new_research_suggests⠀⇛ Maternity-related employment gaps may cause job candidates to be unfairly screened out of positions for which they are otherwise qualified, according to new research from NYU Tandon School of Engineering. A research team led by Siddharth Garg, Institute Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, examined bias in Large Language Models (LLMs) — advanced AI systems trained to understand and generate human language — when used in hiring processes. The team will present its findings in a paper presented at NeurIPS 2023 R0-FoMo Workshop on December 15. Akshaj Kumar Veldanda, PhD candidate in Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, is the paper's lead researcher. # ⚓ Will Cooke ☛ Reverse_engineering_Bluetooth_LE_LED_light controllers,_or_How_I_Bricked_My_Christmas_Lights⠀⇛ I also had another set of addressable lights on my desk. While decorating my office for Christmas, I decided to invest some time in connecting them to Home Assistant using the BJ_LED code as a template. It should have been straightforward, right? Well, yes, but also no. # ⚓ India Times ☛ OpenAI_suspends_ByteDance’s_account_over ‘secretly_using’_its_AI_tech⠀⇛ The conversations on Lark, ByteDance's internal communication platform for employees, showed how to "whitewash" the evidence through "data desensitisation," said the report late on Friday. # ⚓ India Times ☛ EU_seeks_satellite_array_offers_in_space_race with_AI⠀⇛ The European Space Agency said on Friday it would seek final offers to develop the secure communications system, a flagship project spurred in part by the role of Elon Musk's Starlink as a backbone for Ukraine in the war with Russia. # ⚓ Greece ☛ Digital_assistant_receives_63,000_questions_in three_days⠀⇛ A digital assistant called mAigov offering easy access to more than 1,600 digital services of the government received 63,000 questions in the first three days of operation, based on data published by the state-run news agency AMNA on Saturday. Of those, 56,900 were identified as legitimate (non-trolling) questions. The percentage of dialogues (clarification on the first answer) reached 30% and concerned approximately 17,000 cases. This means that 70% of those questions got what they were looking for with the first answer. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ DeepMind_Says_Its_AI_Solved_a_Math_Problem_That Humans_Were_Stumped_By⠀⇛ DeepMind built the tool in question, called "FunSearch" in reference to mathematical functions (and not the other kind of fun) on the back of its AlphaZero AI, which solves math problems as if it were playing a game. The LLM it uses is called Codey, which is trained and honed on computer code and programmed to reject incorrect answers and feed correct ones back into its model. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Amazon's_AI_Reportedly_Suffering_"Severe Hallucinations"⠀⇛ In a surprise announcement last week, Amazon's cloud computing division announced a flashy new AI chatbot aimed at businesses called Amazon Q — not to be confused with OpenAI's secretive Q*, pronounced Q star, which is rumored to be a separate and powerful new AI system. But according to leaked documents obtained by Platformer, Amazon's launch is off to a rocky start. Q is reportedly suffering from "severe hallucinations" and is actively "leaking confidential data." # ⚓ India Times ☛ AI’s_Magic_Call:_how_AI_will_make_smartphones smarter⠀⇛ Artificial intelligence will unlock limitless possibilities in smartphones once they fully adopt the technology and make it a part of their offerings.

It really did have a sort of sanctity to it. There was a deep principle violated if someone invaded your private domain, and the abhorrence to this invasion and betrayal was often conveyed in movies, TV shows, and books. # ⚓ Privacy International ☛ Free_to_Protest_(Pakistan edition)⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Verge ☛ US_Congress_pushes_warrantless wiretapping_decision_off_until_April_next_year⠀⇛ Senator Ron Wyden wrote in a press release on December 8th that the vote to reauthorize FISA was inserted into the NDAA “without a vote or debate” before the Senate authorized and passed it to the House.

That data will show that roughly a quarter of the people at the Ellipse, around 30,000 people, entered the restricted grounds outside the Capitol, committing at least trespassing on Trump’s instruction, of which 11,500 would be identified by their Google Location data. Jack Smith’s prosecutors revealed that they will do this on Monday in an expert notice filing. # ⚓ Google ☛ Updates_to_Location_History_and_new_controls coming_soon_to_Maps⠀⇛ Additionally, when you first turn on Location History, the auto-delete control will be set to three months by default, which means that any data older than that will be automatically deleted. Previously this option was set to 18 months. If you want to save memories to your Timeline for a longer period, don’t worry — you can always choose to extend the period or turn off auto-delete controls altogether. These changes will gradually roll out through the next year on Android and iOS, and you’ll receive a notification when this update comes to your account. # ⚓ BW Businessworld Media Pvt Ltd ☛ Apple_Settles_Class- Action_Lawsuit_For_$25_Mn_Over_Family_Sharing_Feature⠀⇛ Tech giant Apple has agreed to a USD 25 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit filed in 2019, alleging misleading representations regarding its Family Sharing feature. The lawsuit claimed that Apple misrepresented the functionality of Family Sharing in relation to app subscriptions. According to court documents, the lawsuit argued that Apple, despite denying any wrongdoing, had promoted Family Sharing on subscription-based apps that, in reality, did not support the feature. The court noted that the majority of these apps, a growing segment within Apple's ecosystem, could not be shared among designated family members as implied. # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ Google_Will_Turn_Off_Cookies_for_30_Million People_on_January_4⠀⇛ For the past 30 years, websites and tech companies have used so-called “third-party cookies” as the primary way to track consumers online. Has that pair of shoes you added to your cart three weeks ago been following you around in ads on the web? There are probably third-party cookies involved. These cookies let websites partner with other companies including Google and tons of others to keep tabs on everything you do online. That’s great for companies, and terrible for your privacy because it means there are a lot of businesses who get to keep a history of all of your web browsing. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russian_officers_fire_warning_shots_into_air and_detain_82_people_during_clash_with_migrants_in Moscow⠀⇛ In Moscow, 82 foreign nationals were detained after a clash with police officers, reports Russian state news agency Interfax, referencing Russia’s Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Philippines'_Marcos_says_tensions_in South_China_Sea_have_increased⠀⇛ > He warned that a “more assertive China” posed a “real challenge” to its Asian neighbours. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ U.S._Media:_Sources_Say_Secret_Intelligence_On Alleged_Russian_Election_Meddling_Went_Missing⠀⇛ Multiple U.S. news outlets say material from a binder containing "highly classified" information related to Russian efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. elections or the subsequent investigation into alleged meddling vanished in the waning days of the Trump administration, fueling concerns of a leak of closely guarded secrets including secret sources and methods. [...] # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Chinese_Cyber_Attack:_What_Really_Happened?⠀⇛ Journalist Whitney Webb speaks on the recent alleged Chinese cyber attacks that U.S. officials claim targeted American infrastructure. Using her reporting over the years on cyber warfare, Webb provides a unique insight into the issue. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ The_Never_Ending_War_on_Terror_Targets Freedom⠀⇛ The revelations of people like Edward Snowden, Julian Assange and John Kiriakou have allowed the world to know about the sly and insidious turn Western governments took following 9/11. From torture programs to mass surveillance to extrajudicial captures and killings, it has become clear how far these governments have poured away their own values and beliefs. Despite their best efforts to reveal the truth, whistleblowers, leakers, journalists can only show so much against the backdrop of entire governments. In the years since, hundreds, if not thousands of stories remain to be told about those most affected by these illegal and immoral measures, and Phantom Parrot, a new documentary by director Kate Stonehill, adds one more to the record. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Shame_about_those_wildfires._We'll_just let_the_fossil_fuel_giants_off_the_hook,_then?⠀⇛ The clear question, then, is what responsibility do these companies have regarding their contributions to the climate impacts we’re experiencing: the extreme weather events, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and the like? Some communities around the globe are seeking to answer that question in the courts, and are suing fossil-fuel companies for damages. Those lawsuits need a few questions to be answered to proceed, not the least of which being the classic, "What did they know and when did they know it?" Also, any negative effects from fossil-fuel companies' alleged reticence to come clean about their own research and findings regarding CO2 emissions will have to be quantified and presented in a way that satisfies the courts. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Judge_says_TikTok_must_turn_meeting_records over_in_US_states_probe⠀⇛ North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein said the attorneys general investigating since 2022 have discovered TikTok had an archive of tens of thousands of recorded internal Zoom meetings that the company initially failed to disclose for nearly a year and a half. # ⚓ NYPost ☛ Biden_administration_alarmed_by_dozens_of_Israeli military_strikes_against_US-backed_Lebanese_army:_report⠀⇛ The purported Israel Defense Forces strikes against the Lebanese military have come from small arms, artillery fire, drones and helicopters. # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russia_reports_shooting_down_32_Ukrainian drones_over_annexed_Crimea_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Former_FBI_agent_sentenced_to_four_years_in prison_for_aiding_Russian_oligarch_Oleg_Deripaska_— Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Financial_Times:_U.S._says_it_found_way_to seize_frozen_Russian_assets_‘in_accordance_with international_law’_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Ukrainian_Marines_on_‘Suicide Mission’_in_Crossing_the_Dnipro_River⠀⇛ Soldiers frustrated by positive reports from Ukrainian officials break their silence, describing the effort as brutalizing and, ultimately, futile. # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ How_the_American_Right_Came_to_Love Putin⠀⇛ Many Republicans are resisting calls for more U.S. aid for Ukraine. Part of the explanation is the right’s affinity for the projects of Viktor Orbán, in Hungary, and Vladimir Putin, in Russia. # ⚓ LRT ☛ The_war_must_go_on,_until_Putin_says_otherwise: key_takeaways_from_Russian_president’s_Q&A⠀⇛ Four-plus hours filled with talk of eggs, natural gas, the European Union, abortions, Siberian railways, artificial intelligence, veterans' benefits.

Finnish officials and experts have repeatedly this autumn described Russia’s instrumentalising the flow of migrants as of "hybrid operation" aimed at destabilising Finland in response to its [NATO] membership and support for Ukraine. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ U.S._Media:_Sources_Say_Secret_Intelligence On_Alleged_Russian_Election_Meddling_Went_Missing⠀⇛ Multiple U.S. news outlets say material from a binder containing "highly classified" information related to Russian efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. elections or the subsequent investigation into alleged meddling vanished in the waning days of the Trump administration. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Russia_To_Test-Launch_Seven_Intercontinental Ballistic_Missiles_In_2024⠀⇛ Russia plans to test-launch seven intercontinental ballistic missiles in 2024, Sergei Karakayev, the commander of Russia's Strategic Missile Forces, has said, the Interfax news agency reported on December 16. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Hungary_Threatens_To_Veto_Bulgaria's_Schengen Entry_Over_Russian_Gas_Transit_Tax⠀⇛ Hungary on December 16 threatened to veto Bulgaria’s entry into the passport-free Schengen zone unless it abolishes the transit fee for Russian gas. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Masha_Gessen_Receives_Hannah_Arendt_Prize After_Gaza_Controversy⠀⇛ U.S.-Russian author Masha Gessen received the Hannah Arendt Prize for Political Thought in the German city of Bremen on December 16, a day later than scheduled due to criticism of Gessen's remarks on the Gaza conflict. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Zelenskiy_Vows_To_Strengthen_Air_Defenses, Push_On_With_Global_Press_For_More_Military_Aid⠀⇛ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy met with military commanders and vowed to strengthen air defenses as the nation continued to take hits from multiple Russian missile and drone attacks, while he also promised to continue his diplomatic offensive to keep the flow of aid coming. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Ukraine_Puts_Head_Of_Russian_Orthodox_Church On_'Wanted'_List⠀⇛ Ukraine's Interior Ministry on December 15 placed the head of Russia's Orthodox Church, a backer of the Kremlin's 21-month-old war against Kyiv, on a wanted list after security services accused him of abetting the conflict. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ G7_Said_To_Be_'Moving_Closer'_To_Seizing_$300 Billion_In_Russian_Assets_For_Ukraine⠀⇛ Group of Seven member states have intensified efforts to agree on funneling some of the $300 billion in "immobilized" Russian central bank and other sovereign assets to Ukraine just as massive U.S. and EU support proposals have run into resistance, the Financial Times reports. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Trump,_Quoting_Putin,_Declares Indictments_‘Politically_Motivated_Persecution’⠀⇛ The former president cited comments by the Russian leader to argue the 91 felony charges he is facing undermine the United States’ claim to be the world leader on democracy. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ Kansas Reflector ☛ ‘1619_Project’_creator_has_been_attacked for_revealing_heartbreaking_truths._Listen_to_her.⠀⇛ Hannah-Jones’ real crime is that she revealed the heartbreaking truth that our systems and society don’t intend to end inequality. In fact, they are designed to sustain inequality. She discussed these topics during a recent visit to the Kansas City metro for the 16th annual Urban Summit. o § Environment⠀➾ # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ National Geographic ☛ Cooking_oil_just_fueled_a transatlantic_flight._But_is_it_a_solution_or_a distraction?⠀⇛ The first commercial transatlantic flight using 100 percent Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), made from used cooking oil, recently flew from London’s Heathrow airport to New York’s JFK airport—a project called Flight100. But while some hope this could be a step forward for sustainability, many have criticized Flight100’s green claims. Globally, aviation made up around 2.5 percent of the world’s carbon emissions in 2022, and in the next 20 years, reports suggest those emissions will triple as more people and goods fly around the world. # ⚓ India Times ☛ US_SEC_says_no_to_new_crypto_rules; Coinbase_asks_court_to_review⠀⇛ The five-member commission, in a 3-2 vote, said it would not propose new rules because it fundamentally disagreed that current regulations are "unworkable" for the crypto sphere, as Coinbase has argued. Coinbase later said it had filed a petition for review of the SEC's decision in court. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Oil_Workers_In_Kazakhstan's_Volatile_West Continue_Hunger_Strike⠀⇛ Hundreds of workers from the West Oil Software company in Kazakhstan’s volatile western region of Manghystau are continuing with a hunger strike they started on December 11, despite increasing pressure from authorities on the eve of the Central Asian nation's Independence Day. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Musk's_woes_deepen_as_Tesla_strike_spreads across_Scandinavia⠀⇛ The labour dispute between Tesla and its repair workshop mechanics that originated in Sweden on October 27 has escalated to include Denmark, Finland and Norway.

My office energy storage is now based around lithium batteries! # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ Reindeer_vision_may_have_evolved_to spot_favorite_food_in_the_snowy_dark_of_winter⠀⇛ Instead, researchers from Dartmouth and the University of St. Andrews in Scotland report that the eyes of Rudolph and his reindeer brethren may have evolved so that they can spot their favorite food during dark and snowy Arctic winters, according to a new study in the journal i-Perception. The findings help explain the long-standing scientific mystery as to why reindeer can see light in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum—and add intrigue to the smiling airborne ungulates popularized in the classic story by 1926 Dartmouth graduate Robert L. May. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Mystery_Behind_Dozens_of_African Elephant_Deaths_Finally_Explained⠀⇛ And a new threat discovered. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Australia_confident_of_end_to_China wine_tariffs_early_in_2024⠀⇛ Australia's government on Sunday said it was confident punitive tariffs on Australian wine introduced by China in 2021 would be lifted early next year. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Elon_Musk_to_testify_again_in_SEC_hearing on_Twitter_buyout⠀⇛ A federal judge in San Francisco told the legal team of Elon Musk on Thursday that the billionaire must testify again as part of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) investigation of his $44 billion (€40 billion) buyout of the social media website Twitter, since rebranded as X. US Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler stopped short of ordering Musk to testify, but she rapidly rejected arguments from his attorney that SEC officials lacked the authority to issue subpoenas. Beeler said the US agency, charged with enforcing laws against stock market manipulation, among others, had broad investigative powers and that no judge would "second guess" an SEC probe. She called on Musk and the SEC to agree to a date for another day's testimony in the case, adding that she would set one for them if they did not. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ EU_sets_new_stringent_rules_on_corporate accountability⠀⇛ Those opposed to the rules say they are unnecessarily burdensome, as EU companies will already be required to make similar environment, social and governance (ESG) disclosures from 2024. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ India Times ☛ Microsoft's_Bing_Chat_made_up_false scandals_about_EU_elections:_Research⠀⇛ Researchers at AlgorithmWatch asked Bing Chat questions about recent elections held in Switzerland and the German states of Bavaria and Hesse. It found that one-third of its answers to election-related questions had factual errors and safeguards were not evenly applied. # ⚓ El País ☛ No,_pork_rinds_are_not_healthier_than vegetables,_and_there_is_no_study_that_proves_it⠀⇛ Although the origin of the story is not known with certainty, Juan Camilo Mesa, a Colombian dietitian, nutritionist and microbiologist, explains that the first reference to this supposed study is a Facebook post that went viral. Afterwards, it was published in the Argentine portal TN, where it began its journey through the world’s newsrooms, growing like a huge snowball of misinformation. “Colombian media began to replicate the first news story and did not change a single comma,” says Mesa, outraged, from his home in Stockholm, Sweden, where he earned a master’s degree in nutritional sciences. “There is no article about pork rinds and vegetables in the database of the scientific journal. It does not exist.” o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Kansas Reflector ☛ Kansas_Supreme_Court,_‘wary’_of_free speech_restrictions,_allows_challenge_to_2021_voting_law⠀⇛ Now, he said, a decision made Friday by the Kansas Supreme Court has vindicated his claims that a 2021 voting law based on “the big lie” poses a threat to advocacy groups like his. Hammet is the founder and executive director of Loud Light. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ That’s_Not_Censorship⠀⇛ Every artist must exist in two realms: as the art maker, who thinks and ponders and creates work of radical honesty (an activity that one could argue is inherently political), and as the art mover, who, however reluctantly, must be part showman and part businessperson. Both come together every time a writer walks onstage. Because book talks have cultural value, it can be easy to forget that they are in fact commercial opportunities—performances designed to be entertaining in the hope of moving books. # ⚓ [Repeat] Reason ☛ Harvard_Panel_on_Campus_Free_Speech⠀⇛ On December 12, I participated in a timely panel discussion at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study on "Free Speech, Political Speech, and Hate Speech on Campus." The panel included Jeannie Suk Gersen, Nadine Strossen, and Erica Chenoweth, and was moderated by Tomiko Brown-Nagin. # ⚓ C-SPAN ☛ Harvard_and_Princeton_University_Scholars_on Campus_Speech⠀⇛ Scholars from Harvard, Princeton, and New York Law School discussed campus speech amid the Israel- Hamas war at an event hosted by Harvard University. Topics included fostering a culture of mutual respect for disagreeing viewpoints, distinguishing between protected hate speech and harassment and bullying, protests on college campuses, and whether universities should take a stance on controversial issues. Prior to this event, Harvard University President Claudine Gay and other university presidents received backlash and calls for resignation due to their congressional testimony on antisemitism on college campuses. # ⚓ The Dissenter ☛ Unauthorized_Disclosure:_Project_Censored's Mickey_Huff_&_Andy_Lee_Roth⠀⇛ o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Al_Jazeera_Cameraman_Killed_and_Bureau Chief_Injured_in_Gaza⠀⇛ The journalists were covering the aftermath of airstrikes at a U.N. school-turned-shelter in Khan Younis.

It’s a fight that Apple previously (mostly) won in a similar trial in 2021, beating claims that it had violated antitrust laws by charging mandatory in-app transaction fees and kicking Epic’s game Fortnite off the App Store. Google tried a similar move, but in its case, a jury found it had maintained an unlawful monopoly with the Play store; a judge is scheduled to consider remedies next month. o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ How_Future_YouTube_Policies_Affect_Today's Creativity_&_Tomorrow's_Income⠀⇛ New rules guiding future content creation on YouTube can, without issue, be retroactively applied to content uploaded years ago. For transgressions of rules that didn't apply in the past, creators receive community strikes in the present. For the operator of the DBTech YouTube channel, which specializes in tutorials about self- hosted services, two strikes for old videos featuring youtube-dl and similar software, raise concerns over future content viability, even when it fully complies today. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
