Workers were reminded they have about 90 days to take action and the union contacted its union members as follows: § RfR Education allowance reform - Dutch schools⠀➾ Dear colleagues, With regards to the Education and Childcare Reform, we would like to call the attention of a group of staff that has silently been discriminated by the reform and that have now the possibility to seek for fairness by filling a RFR. This discrimination affects all colleagues, nationals and non- nationals who chose a national school for their child(ren), as these schools are generally below the threshold. Furthermore, these colleagues might be affected by the new definition of direct and indirect costs, meaning that even if the total costs are above the threshold, the administration artificially lowers them under the threshold and does not reimburse any of them. Therefore, if you find yourself in one or both of the following situations: 1. You requested reimbursement of fees below € 500 and it has been refused. 2. You requested reimbursement of fees above € 500 (part of) which was deemed to be indirect, and therefore not reimbursed. You have the right to file a request for review within three months following the refusal for reimbursement. We have prepared a RfR template that can be adapted to your personal situation. It has now been more than three months and many requests for review have certainly been filed, along with the annexes of relevance as supporting documents (Annexes 2,_3, 6, and 7). The following template helps explain what's at stake, along with fuller context for those who don't know "EPO politics" too well: (the following is intentionally incomplete) § REQUEST FOR REVIEW⠀➾ (Pursuant to Article 109 ServRegs) [...] The present is my request for management review (RfR), pursuant to Article 109 ServRegs, of the individual decision dated [...] (ANNEX 1) taken in application of general decision CA/D 4/21 dated 29 June 2021 and its Circular No. 411 dated 13 July 2021. [...] 1. Ratione temporis 2. The present request is filed within three months from the date of the receipt of the individual decision adversely affecting me. 2. Ratione personae 3. The impugned decision directly and adversely affects my rights as a staff member of the EPO as defined and protected by the principles of international civil service and the Service Regulations (ServRegs), thereby providing me with a cause of action. 3. Ratione materiae 4. I challenge the individual decision rejecting the reimbursement of the costs for [year] in application of general decision CA/D 4/21 (ANNEX_2) and Circular No. 411 (ANNEX_3) and conveyed through the email from Human Resources/my salary slip of [...] dated [...], as well as the lawfulness of the general provisions themselves, in particular new Articles 71(5) and 71(6) ServRegs and Circular No.411, and request the review of the impugned decision. 5. For all purposes, as the International Administrative Tribunal of the International Labour Organization (“Tribunal” or “ILOAT”) has consistently held, while challenging an individual decision, a staff member is entitled to challenge the lawfulness of the general decision on which it is based. Specifically, the Tribunal found that “a complainant can impugn a decision only if it directly affects her/ him, and cannot impugn a general decision unless and until it is applied in a manner prejudicial to her/him, but she/he is not prevented from challenging the lawfulness of the general decision when impugning the implementing decision which has generated their cause of action.“ In Judgment No. 3761, the Tribunal drew from its case-law in this respect and found that where the general decision was unlawful, it will be equally set aside. In this case, I am entitled to challenge the individual decision and the lawfulness of the general provisions that form the basis of the challenged decision. [...] ⚓ 1. Background of the reform⠀⇛ 6. In July 2020, as part of the “Social Agenda 2020”, the President announced the launch of a Working Group to discuss a proposed reform of the Education and Childcare allowance. The Working Group held its first meeting on 21 July 2020. This announcement – in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic and school holidays – resulted in strong reactions from staff. 7. Thus, on 30 July 2020, the President announced that he decided to postpone the presentation of the reform to the Administrative Council (from December 2020 to June 2021) as well as its implementation to school children from the year 2021/2022 to the year 2022/2023. He further stated that “[t]he Office will ensure that EPO parents have ample information and time to make well-informed choices about their children's education”. 8. On 29 September 2020, a meeting of the Working Group was held, during which the staff representatives noted the inaccuracy of the figures given by the Office, the lack of consideration of the emails received by the Office from the concerned staff and the ambiguity as to the real goal of the reform (i.e., to make savings). 9. However, in December 2020, the President announced that the target timeline for launching the reform was the school year 2021/2022. A discrepancy with the previous announcement of July 2020 which was pointed out by the Central Staff Committee (“CSC”) in a letter to the President. 10. In February 2021, at a Working Group meeting, a presentation included the issue of siblings in an attempt to assess the impact of extending transitional measures to siblings. However, siblings were ultimately left out of the reform. 11. On 26 February 2021, The CSC presented a proposal within the working group for the reform of the Education and Childcare Allowances. This Proposal highlighted the different legal principles to observe and made several proposals for amendments including: on the scheme for the young child allowance (Article 70 ServRegs), on the ceilings for primary and secondary education (Article 71 Serv. Regs), on the refund of the costs (direct and indirect costs) for primary, secondary and post-secondary (including notably a full refund of these costs for primary and secondary), and proposed a supplement to the expatriation allowance (Article 72 ServRegs). By this proposal the CSC integrated both the legal principles established by the ILOAT and all the alleged intentions of the administration, namely: simplicity, fairness and clarity. 12. On 9 April 2021, the CSC requested the President to adjourn the reform of the Education and Childcare allowance until the pandemic crisis, imposing a high level of stress on staff, is over, to allow proper discussions and negotiations. It also requested that a proposal to amend Article 71 ServRegs be submitted for statutory consultation and added to the provisional agenda of the next Budget and Finance Committee (“BFC”) meeting (exclusively for the purpose of extending post-secondary education benefits to nationals). 13. In April 2021, the document on the reform of the Education and Childcare allowance (document GCC/DOC 2/2021) was shared for the first time with the members of the General Consultative Committee (GCC) “for consultation”. The CSC requested that this document be reclassified as “for information” in accordance with the Rules of the Procedure of the GCC and practice of the Office. This request was denied by the President. 14. On 7 May 2021, the CSC requested to the President to add its counterproposal to the Education and Childcare allowance reform to the provisional agenda of the BFC pursuant to 9(2.2)(b) of the Rules of Procedure of the Administrative Council. This request was rejected by the President. Following the meeting of the BFC on 26 May 2021, the CSC informed the staff of the discussion and shared its counterproposal. 15. On 28 June 2021, in an open letter to the President, the Local Staff Committee of The Hague (“LSCTH”) informed him of the difficulties encountered by many parents with respect to decisions concerning the education of their children, due to the suddenness of the reform and its lack of clarity. The LSCTH also informed the President of the lack of response and support from Human Resources despite numerous queries from parents. The President responded to this letter after the adoption of the reform and dismissed the concerns of the Staff Committee. 16. On 29 June 2021, the Administrative Council adopted the general decision CA/D 4/21 which entered into force on 1 July 2021 with a set of incomplete and unclear transitional measures. 17. On 13 July 2021, the President adopted Circular No. 301 and Circular No. 411, which both entered in force on 1 September 2021, without proper consultation with the staff representatives and the GCC. [...] 26. The grounds of my request for review are as follows: ⚓ 1. Procedural flaw: the President did not engage in good faith consultation prior to the adoption of the general decision and circulars⠀⇛ 27. At the outset, the ServRegs provide for consultation with the staff representatives through the Staff Committee (Article 37(1) ServRegs) and the GCC (Article 38(2) ServRegs). This consultation process must be undertaken in good faith, which has been reiterated repeatedly by the Tribunal in its longstanding jurisprudence, which held that “[…] a proper consultation must allow a reasonable amount of time for the consulted body to discuss the issue, have its principal questions answered and provide reasoned advice or recommendations, and must also allow time for the deciding authority to take that advice into consideration prior to taking the decision. In Judgment 380, under 21, the Tribunal stated: “Where there is only a simple obligation to consult, the decision-maker's duty is to listen or at most to exchange views. The object of the consultation is that he will make the best decision and the assumption is that he will not succeed in doing that unless he has the benefit of the views of the person consulted. The object of negotiation on the other hand is compromise. This object would be frustrated if either party began with the determination not to make any concession in any circumstances, just as the object of consultation would be frustrated if the decision-maker began with a determination not to be influenced by anything that might be said to him. On both these hypotheses there would be a lack of good faith.” In this case, the President failed to do so prior to the adoption of the decision CA/D 4/21 as well as of the circulars. This requirement for good faith consultation is paramount when the reform is intended to have a lasting impact on the staff and their families. 28. First, the staff representatives were not consulted in good faith although a working group was established to allegedly discuss the Education and Childcare allowance reform. Indeed, all meetings of the Working Group were held via video conference – in the midst of a global pandemic - and incomplete presentations of the proposed reform were made by the Office to the members of the Working Group. In addition, not all stakeholders were consulted (e.g., the trade union SUEPO) or when consulted the facts have been distorted (i.e., relevant schools at all sites), the specificities of each site were not properly considered or addressed, and the necessary data or specific analysis requested by the Working Group were not provided (e.g., no in-depth impact study, no legal analysis). In fact, several important topics could not be adequately discussed by the Working Group and were not properly addressed by the Office, such as the issue of siblings. As a result, the alternatives proposed by the staff representation were not given due consideration, in particular in the reform proposal. The lack of good faith is further evidenced by the President’s decision to reject the request of the CSC to add its counterproposal to the provisional agenda for the meeting of the BFC of 26 May 2021, in breach of Article 9 (2.2)(b) of the Rules of Procedure of the Administrative Council, as well as in view of the dubious real purpose of such a reform. 29. Moreover, the complete lack of good faith is clearly evidenced by the President’s changing and contradictory announcements regarding the implementation date of this reform. Indeed, at first and due to the strong concern of staff, the President informed that the implementation of the reform for school children would be postponed to 2022/2023, but a few months later the President backtracked and announced that the reform will be implemented for the year 2021/2022. In fact, it is clear that the President decided not to make any concessions and the Working Group was not created to participate substantially in the reform process. 30. Second, the GCC was not consulted in good faith and was merely a formality that the President had to complete in order to submit his proposal to the Administrative Council. In order to keep consultation with the GCC to a minimum, the President decided to depart from the well-established practice of submitting the relevant documents first “for information” and then, for a second meeting, “for consultation”. In the present case, the President submitted the documents to the GCC directly “for consultation” despite the clear issues already highlighted by staff representatives about the proposed reform. In particular, the President made it clear to the staff representatives of the LSCTH that “the Administrative Council needs to be submitted a complete and financially sound and balanced reform package. Any proposal not meeting these requirements is not deemed realistic”. Thus, the President pre-empted the outcome of the GCC meeting, which in any event had no other opportunity to discuss the reform further. 31. Third, the Appellant points out another blatant example of failure to consult in good faith of the Office through a “last minute” and major change introduced by the Office in new Articles 71 (5) and (7) ServRegs. Indeed, in document GCC/DOC 2/2021 (ANNEX 6), submitted to the GCC for consultation, the wording of the proposed new Article 71(5) (under Article 4 of GCC/DOC 2/2021, page 24) read as follows: “Art. 71 (5) The direct education costs, comprising enrolment and tuition fees, incurred for pre-school primary and secondary education that exceed EUR 500 per academic year will be reimbursed up to an annual ceiling as set out in Annex IV to the Service Regulations” (emphasis added). Art. 71 (7): The direct education costs, comprising enrolment and tuition fees, incurred for post-secondary education that exceed EUR 500 per academic year will be reimbursed at a 70% rate up to an annual ceiling as set out in Annex IV to the Service Regulations” (emphasis added). 32. However, in document CA/7/21 (ANNEX 7) presented to the BFC and to the Administrative Council, the word “comprising” was changed to “namely” having a detrimental effect of restricting the general list of direct costs (see under Article 4 of CA/7/21, page 22). This major change was made without any prior consultation with staff representatives and the GCC. As a result, general decision CA/D 4/21 adopted an amended version of Article 71(7) ServRegs without this amendment having been discussed with the relevant consultative body. Such amendment raised numerous concerns and should have previously been discussed with the GCC as it gave a radically different meaning to an already very debated amendment. 33. Fourth, following the adoption of CA/D 4/21 on 29 June 2021, another meeting of the GCC was scheduled on 6 July 2021, which surprisingly led to a presentation of the circulars to be adopted by the President pursuant to the newly effective (on 1 July 2021) decision CA/D 4/21. Once again, the President decided to submit directly the documents “for consultation” and thus avoided any discussion on the matter, contrary to the practice of the EPO. In any event and in addition, these documents and proposed Circulars were never discussed with the staff representation, which means that there was no consultation at all in the context of Circulars No. 301 and No. 411. The President presented the staff representatives with a “fait accompli” and no reasonable amount of time was provided to discuss the matter. 34. In light of the foregoing, the Office has failed to conduct a proper consultation with staff representatives. Indeed, there was no urgency to reform the Education and Childcare allowance system and, therefore, the President could have allowed sufficient time to conduct a proper consultation and find a more agreeable solution, including the date of implementation of the reform and its conditions. The result was the adoption of a reform based on inaccurate figures and projections, but with a serious and lasting impact on staff and their families, and contrary to the EPO’s commitment for Diversity and Inclusion. 35. Ultimately, in the context of this reform, the President has not consulted in good faith with the staff representatives, it appears that he has also deprived the staff of expressing their opinion, including me. The general decisions and circulars are flawed and unlawful. Likewise, the impugned decision being based on unlawful general provisions is void ab initio. ⚓ 2. CA/D 4/21 and the subsequent impugned decision are unlawful as they breach the principle of equal treatment⠀⇛ 36. The adoption of the Education and Childcare allowance reform has resulted in a breach of the fundamental principle of equal treatment as established by the Tribunal. Under the argument that all staff members should be treated equally – despite proven substantial differences, CA/D 4/21 – and subsequently all decisions adopted on this basis – breached the above principle. In particular, in my case, I point out the following: • New Article 71(5) Section II “pre-school primary and secondary education” (and Annex IV) introduces an arbitrary minimum threshold of €500 of fees for reimbursement and an arbitrary ceiling laid out in Annex IV. New Article 71(5) ServRegs, unlike the former Article 71 (5) ServRegs, limits the type of direct costs covered by the reimbursement. Indeed, the new article 71(5) ServRegs provides for the reimbursement of “enrolment and tuition fees” and Article 3(1) of Circular No. 411 further elaborates by giving examples of expenses being reimbursable such as “registration, admission, application or entrance fees”. Thus, the reform considerably limits the type of costs covered, whereas the old system under Article 71(5) provided for the reimbursement of: “(a) direct education costs, namely registration and examination fees, and general fees for schooling and education charged and invoiced by the educational establishment; (b) miscellaneous education costs, namely all other expenses connected with education, such as expenses for board and lodging, books, private tuition and daily travel. (c) travel expenses between the educational establishment and the place of employment.” Thus, a vast majority of the costs that were previously taken into account in the calculation of the education allowance have been taken out and are now considered as indirect costs covered by the lump sum of new Article 71(6) ServRegs. As a result, staff members are treated equally despite their different situations. Staff members have different costs for their children depending on where they study and the requirements of each school. • New Article 71(6) Section II “pre-school primary and secondary education” (and Annex IV) introduces a system which is based on a monthly “universal lump-sum” for indirect costs and no longer on a percentage of the DCA of the country of study. More precisely, Annex IV established a lump sum of 112. It is obviously very clear that for parents who have, for instance, school trip costs (previously considered direct costs), this amount is ridiculous and does not take into account the difference of situations (and thus of costs) parents have to bear for their children depending on where they study and requirements of each school. 37. In documents GCC/DOC 2/2021 and CA/7/21 the President declares that “Further to an in-depth analytical review by the Office as well as discussions with social partners, this document presents a reform proposal of the education and childcare schemes. The reform is designed to enable all EPO staff with dependent children to benefit from these schemes, regardless of their nationality, by introducing a fairer scheme that is easier to understand, to access and to administrate” (emphasis added). However, by setting the arbitrary threshold of 500 €, the Office is excluding part of EPO staff, including myself. The Office is breaching the principle of equal treatment and is discriminating me against by setting this threshold. 38. Further, in these documents the President also declares that “to limit operational complexity, reimbursement of direct costs will only take place for amount exceeding €500 per year”. It seems the Office is discriminating me for the sake of avoiding to deal with my situation, discriminating me against other colleagues in other (and likely to be more complex) situations not excluded for limiting operational complexity. [39. Furthermore, by setting the threshold of 500€, the Office is, contrary to its alleged intentions of including nationals, de facto discriminating against me as a national, as schools in The Netherlands have in most cases fees below this threshold.] 40. In addition, the Office intended to conceal this blatantly inequal reform by adopting transitional measures. However, these transitional measures are insufficient to preserve the rights of staff and cannot justify unequal treatment. In any event, the transitional measures are not applicable in my case and do not change the damage caused due to the unlawfulness of the decision. 41. In my personal situation, the general decision and its circular, embodied by the impugned decision are prejudicial as [...]. ⚓ 3. The impugned decision is arbitrary⠀⇛ 42. In light of the above, Article 71(5) ServRegs establishes a general list of direct costs covered by the Office, leaving the Office ample opportunity to deny reimbursement for certain direct costs that would not be labelled according to this list but are still a part of those mandatory direct costs. 43. Nevertheless, Article 71(5) ServRegs must be read in the light of its implementing circular (Circular No. 411), which provides more detailed information on the type of costs considered to be "direct costs". Indeed, Article 3(1) of Circular No. 411 provides as follows: “(1) For the purpose of direct education costs, the following expenses are reimbursable: (i) fees that are required to enrol a child in an educational institution. Such fees cover registration, admission, application or entrance fees (ii) tuition fees for full-time attendance which are invoiced by the educational institution and certified by the educational institution as being necessary for attendance (iii) capital fees or development fees levied by educational institutions to fund the construction, refurbishment and maintenance of buildings. Such fees may be levied at the time of first enrolment, every year or as needed.” 44. Although Circular No.411 remains general, it clearly refers to fees “required to enrol a child in an educational institution” and “tuition fees for full time attendance” and must be interpreted in favour of the staff in order to encompass any situation and specificity of the country of study. For example, in cases of registration fees payable to the municipality/state and not to school directly or in situations of mandatory trips, in light of Article 3 (1) Circular No. 411, these costs must be considered as direct costs as they are fees required to enrol a child and/or tuition fees in an educational institution. In particular [...] is part of the curriculum, and as such part of the tuition. 45. Furthermore, in considering that such direct costs of enrolling a child in an educational institution should be taken into account under Article 71(6) ServRegs, which does not define the type of indirect costs, the Office erred in law and further abused its authority. 46. Therefore, the manner in which the Office has chosen to interpret its own rules (i.e., unfavourably to staff and without basis) makes the applicable regulations particularly opaque in violation of the principle of transparency and legal certainty, leaving staff members at the mercy of the Office without knowing what will or will not be reimbursed for the direct costs of enrolling a child in an educational institution. [...] 47. In documents GCC/DOC 2/2021 and CA/7/21 the President declares that “to limit operational complexity, reimbursement of direct costs will only take place for amount exceeding €500 per year” and provides no further explanation as to why this threshold is set. By setting a threshold of 500€ the Office is choosing an arbitrary amount to exclude part of its Staff of receiving the education allowance. 48. Moreover, it seems the office is taking an arbitrary criteria to limit operational complexity, which is avoiding certain payments. Instead the Office could have decided to simplify the administrative procedure instead of excluding me from benefiting from the education allowance to avoid its workload. 49. The impugned decision is therefore arbitrary and constitutes a clear abuse of discretion on the part of the Office ⚓ 4. The Office’s breach of promise, of my rights and expectations and its duty of care⠀⇛ 50. This unlawful reform and subsequent impugned decision have seriously infringed my rights and legitimate expectations as a staff member of the EPO and was made in breach of the Office’s duty of care towards its staff, thus causing me undue hardship. 51. Indeed, the Office has: • Caused me undue financial injury based on an inherently unlawful reform and arbitrary impugned decision. This financial burden is reinforced by the lack of transitional measures that could have allowed me to plan accordingly. I would have to cover up to [amount] for my child/children for the academic year [year]. Besides, the lack of adjustment of salaries and allowances to inflation makes the financial burden even greater. [As a staff member at a lower grade, the financial impact of the reform on my financial and personal situation is even greater and I am barely able to afford the extra costs related to my children’s education.] Through the reform and impugned decision, the Office is abusively interfering in my private and family life. • Breached my legitimate expectations, insofar as when I received an employment offer from the EPO, the Education and Childcare allowance system was one of the reasons that induced me to accept this offer. I had a legitimate expectation that the former system would be maintained, at least for those employees who had joined the Office prior to the reform, as it was an essential component of the employment features of the Office that had been in place for years. I had a legitimate expectation to be able to provide and continue to provide my children with an education that matched my requirements and expectations, especially since my child/children were already in school before the reform came into effect. • [Breached my acquired rights, as an expatriate, to the continuation of the former regime. In particular, the Education and Childcare allowance system was a fundamental term of employment and which induced me to stay. I find that the reasons for the change are not rational, logical and credible. For instance, the logic behind equalising nationals and expatriates is at odds with the position the Office has supported for several years. In any case, I consider that the former regime was fair to international staff in order to encourage candidates from all EPC members to apply at the different EPO sites and to compensate for the negative impact that not being in one's home country can have on the family in particular. The negative consequences of the reform on expatriates are very important insofar as the financial but also moral impact is considerable. The Office is now depriving me of the possibility to give my children the education most consistent with my status, and that of my family, as an expatriate.] • Breached its promise of including all EPO staff in the reform. The office announced a reform that would “enable all EPO staff with dependent children to benefit from these schemes” . However, contrary to this the Office is, by setting the arbitrary threshold of 500€, depriving me as a [as a national] from benefiting of the education allowance scheme from which I was benefiting prior to the reform. [/ as it would have been the case in the old system that did not define any threshold.] 52. The impugned decision resulting from an unlawful reform was taken in breach of promise, my legitimate expectations and rights and it caused me moral and material harm. The reform was implemented abruptly, and I was not sufficiently informed beforehand and was, in any event, not given sufficient time to adapt to the reform. To the Council, the EPO boasts about its wealth (seeking to impress by how much breaking the law "pays off"); to the staff, the EPO claims to be broke and in need of deep cuts. Sometimes it seems like the sole goal is to pocket the vast difference (at the expense of families of examiners) and gamble_away_the_spoils as means of "financialization". █ ⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠉⠛⠋⠉⠉⠹⠉⠉⠋⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣧⡦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠄⠢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠈⣙⣙⣟⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠙⠛⠹⣿⡧⢄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠉⠀⣀⠀⠈⠁⠂⠀⣥⠀⠋⠈⢑⠀⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⠈⠨⠀⡃⢀⢿⡿⠦⠄⡃⠪⣤⣴⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢉⠀⠈⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⡙⠉⠀⠠⠀⠀⢀⢻⣿⣿⣻⣉⣍⣿⣿⢯⣿⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢷⣶⢶⣦⡀⠀⡒⠰⠿⢿⣿⣶⣮⣍⡛⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣆⢀⠈⠙⠛⢋⡩⠝⠛⠻⢃⡿⡇⠠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣾⣌⡟⠃⣨⣼⣿⣷⣶⣦⡍⣙⡛⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠉⠁⠊⡁⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⣢⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠑⠿⠌⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⢀⠀⠈⢒⢀⠄⠀⠀⠂⠂⣤⣠⡤⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⡼⡆⣀⡀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠄⠀⠞⢣⢀⠰⡀⢀⣺⣶⣀⢀⠕⠂⡀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⣄⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡶⠐⠠⠄⠀⡄⢀⠠⣐⣤⣼⠷⠀⠌⠄⢹⣿⣿⣟⠀⠐⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠁⠁⢤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣴⣠⣠⣄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠢⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣤⣾⡤⠀⠀⠤⠂⠀⠀⠄⣴⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡄⢀⠀⣰⣤⣿⠟⠉⠉⠙⣯⣠⡄⢀⠀⠀⠐⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡃⠀⠀⣄⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⣰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡀⠈⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⣰⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣧⠀⢻⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠈⣻⠇⣰⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡆⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⣿⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠃⠀⣀⣴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⢯⢶⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⣠⣾⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣶⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣦⡀⢸⣿⣿⡟⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⠏⠉⠀⠀⠈⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣯⣿⣭⣿⣿⢿⡟⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⣼⣆⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣆⢽⣿⣧⠀⢠⣦⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣛⣿⣿⣡⣿⣿⣼ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣬⣀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⠁⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢠⣾⣿⣷⣽⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⣾⣯⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢿⣿⠼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⠋⠰⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡅⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣯⣽⣷⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠨⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⢸⡿⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠿⠾⠧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠿⠇⠜⠛⠻⠻⠿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠀⠘⠓⠀⠀⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠒⠲⠶⠰⠤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠬⡭⢭⣭⠭⠭⠁⠘⡛⠀⠘⠛⢛⣛⡛⠛⣟⣛⣛⠀⠀⠀⢘⣛⣛⡛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠐⠘⠘⠄⠀⠀⠠⠿⠀⠀⠿⣿⡟⡿⣿⠫⠻⠏⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠿⠯⠛⠛⠉⠛⠃⠀⠁⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 766 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://news.techrights.org/n/2024/03/01/IRC_Proceedings_Thursday_February_29_2024.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2024/03/01/IRC_Proceedings_Thursday_February_29_2024.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IRC Proceedings: Thursday, February 29, 2024⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 01, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Boat_Marina⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GN 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_Gedit⦈_ #techrights_log #boycottnovell_log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GN 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_Gedit⦈_ #boycottnovell-social_log #techbytes_log =============================================================================== The corresponding text-only bulletins for_Tux_Machines and for_Techrights contain all the text.

censorship⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 01, 2024 Reprinted with permission from Daniel_Pocock. There is ongoing debate about whether the average German citizen knew anything about the Holocaust while it was in progress. If they did know, there remains a question about the exact point in time, for example, was it known in 1942 or only in 1943? Wikipedia_has_an_article_dedicated_to_the_very_question_of_how much_the_German_population_knew_and_when. Brunhilde_Pomsel was the secretary of propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. Despite her proximity to the Nazi leadership, she is one of many government employees who denied any knowledge of what her boss was doing. Is this plausible? In fact, we can see that the Nazis went to great lengths to cultivate a culture of silence. They began doing this in the early days of their rule. The Schriftleitergesetz was introduced in October 1933. This was a Code of Conduct for the newspapers and journalists. (article_in_English and original legislation_in_German) The reports about Schriftleitergesetz give many details about the everyday practical impact of the law. For example, every journalist had to do a new training course and exam. The most significant thing to note about Schriftleitergesetz is that journalists could be arrested in the same manner as rapists and murderers. Many were not willing to tolerate that risk: The_Guardian_was_banned_from Germany._Other_newspapers_chose_to_shut_down_or_work_from_abroad. In the years after World War 2, various countries have decided to adopt laws on criminal_speech/defamation. In other words, as in Nazi Germany, these laws put speaking and writing into the same category as rape and murder by giving it a notion of criminality. If you write a blog post about the Scientologists then every week, one of the Scientologists in your region will go to a police station and file a complaint about you. There is no cost for these fanatics to go and make these complaints. The system encourages them to do so. The very existence of such laws adds friction to communication. People may fear the police coming to their workplace to ask questions about something they wrote on Twitter, so they don't write anything at all. It is easy to imagine that the German population had hints about the Holocaust. They knew that people were disappearing. Nonetheless, they would have been terrified to talk about the disappearances. Speech was a crime. We can compare free speech to a nuclear_reaction. The spread of information is like the spread of neutrons in the fuel. If the neutrons can spread quickly enough then there is a self-sustaining chain reaction and power is generated. If a neutron inhibitor like graphite or heavy water is used to separate the fuel rods then the chain reaction is not self-sustaining and it quickly stops. Criminal speech laws and the fanatics who exploit them tend to have the same effect as the graphite. They are an inhibitor to all communication, they prevent the spread of important facts, such as volunteer_suicides to the same extent that they inhibit fake news and defamation. This, in turn, allows regimes to cover up and perpetuate whatever manner of conspiracies they are engaged in. Here is a translation from the law: Editors are especially bound to keep out of the newspapers anything which: (…) tends to weaken the strength of the German Reich, outwardly or inwardly, the common will of the German people, the German defense ability, culture, or economy, or offends the religious sentiments of others. Here is an example of the criminal speech/defamation law in Switzerland: Any person who in addressing a third party, makes an accusation against or casts suspicion on another of dishonourable conduct or of other conduct that is liable to damage another's reputation, any person who disseminates such accusations or suspicions, is liable on complaint to a monetary penalty. The law goes on to say that people are guilty until proven innocent: If the accused proves that the statement made or disseminated by him corresponds to the truth or that he had substantial grounds to hold an honest belief that it was true, he is not liable to a penalty. The police and the judges, who are appointed_by_politicians, become a second master for every journalist and blogger. Articles about the Schriftleitergesetz note that the propaganda_ministry_was like_a_second_master_for_every_journalist,_carrying_more_influence_than_the newspaper_owners: Anyone who worked for the press was directly subordinate to the Ministry of Propaganda and was accountable to the Ministry – instead of to their publishers. In practice, the presence of this second master makes many people afraid to speak and therefore it limits the flow of important information like_volunteer suicides. We can see a similar phenomena in the Catholic abuse crisis in Australia. Looking through the official_report, we see that people were aware of things in their local communities back in the 1980s and 1990s. The church was able to very effectively stop these discussions by moving the priest to the other side of the city and asking the victim to sign a confidentiality agreement in exchange for some cash. Now we see the same phenomena in Debian, FSFE and other free software communities. People disappear. Fanatics can openly call for disappearances, for example, compare_the_words_of_Molly_de_Blanc_to_the_words_of_Adolf_Hitler. Banning people implies some sort of violence: Our communities have no space for people like Richard M. Stallman Dr Stallman is from a Jewish background. Hitler wrote_similar_things_about_the Jews: the total removal of all Jews from our midst Each time somebody defended Dr Stallman they were censored from mailing lists, IRC channels and some social media platforms. They would be ex-communicated within a matter of minutes. The Nazis were similarly brutal. If somebody defended a Jew, that person would suffer immediate retribution. It is unlikely a third or fourth person would step in to save that person. We now see the same phenomena in Debian. Cabal members have submitted documents in various legal proceedings claiming that because all the rival opinions have been deleted from online discussions, they don't exist at all. They claim that everybody agrees with them, not because it is true, but because everybody else has been beaten into silence or disappeared. One prominent example of this was the second_expulsion_of_Dr_Norbert_Preining. Dr Preining had simply mentioned the name of a victim and he was punished brutally and immediately. Dr Preining: No there is no public record (for now), as all happened on debian-private. In due time I will document the whole process, since I have access to all of debian-private until recently. Time to show what really went on. The responses from Pierre-Elliott Bécue are truly chilling: And as debian-private is private, there is little to no chance a Debian Member will provide any mail Norbert might not provide. The Nazis gave similar orders to their troops: what goes on in Auschwitz stays in Auschwitz. Fascist groups the world over use the same tactics to cultivative silence. And, for the sake of clarity, neither Norbert should provide no mail at all, for the forementioned reason. This is really chilling. Bécue is telling us that even if somebody leaves Debian, that person must continue to remain obedient and complicit in hiding things. Asking Dr Preining to remain silent even after he has been expelled is like the church asking abuse victims to sign a confidentiality agreement. As long as Dr Preining remains silent, the cabal can act with impunity and exploit new victims, a lot like the priests who were moved to new locations. The Debian_Social_Contract tells us: We will not hide problems Volunteers have begun leaking debian-private archives through IPFS. For IPFS to work in the long term, it requires people to run the local IPFS daemon and pin the_content_ID_of_the_content_that_is_being_shared. The recent demise of the Red Hat source code makes the debian-private archives particularly relevant. The archives contain many of the early discussions about the Open Source Initiative (OSI) and the relationships between Debian, OSI, SPI and Red Hat. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1681 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://news.techrights.org/n/2024/03/01/statCounter_GNU_Linux_Exceeded_6_in_Asia_Last_Month_Compared_to.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2024/03/01/statCounter_GNU_Linux_Exceeded_6_in_Asia_Last_Month_Compared_to.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ statCounter: GNU/Linux Exceeded 6% in Asia Last Month (Compared to 4% Just 12 Months Earlier)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 01, 2024 Also today: Windows_Falls_Below_13%_Market_Share_in_Africa,_Barely_Has_Any Country_With_Majority 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇2024 Operating System Market Share Asia⦈ THE raw numbers may be biased (in favour of privacy-violating sites), but the trends matter. As shown above, Windows is becoming about 20% of "the market" in Asia and on desktops/laptops GNU/Linux keeps growing. It was measured at 2% during_the_pandemic's_first_year and now it's at 6%_as_shown_here (even more than 6% if one counts Chromebooks). Meanwhile Jeffrey Epstein's close_friend is touring Asia and buying_puff_pieces for_himself. What sort of "mascot" is that for Microsoft? Women's_empowerment? Seriously? As underage sex_slaves? GNU/Linux is measured_at_about_15% where Jeffrey Epstein's close friend is touring and lobbying half a decade after his Epstein ties got exposed, causing him to faint according to press reports (also causing the divorce). Why does the media even pay any attention to him and accepting his bribes? It says a lot about the state of today's media. █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠃⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠁⠀⠈⠁⠀⠈⠈

Institutional abuse & Debian cybertorture⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 01, 2024 Reprinted with permission from Daniel_Pocock. When the news appeared about Kevin_Spacey today [sic], I couldn't help reflecting on the similarities to the case of Cardinal Pell. Both men had a very prominent status in their profession. Both were in authority positions: Spacey was not only an actor, he was also artistic director of the Old Vic theatre in London for eleven years. Pell had been Arch-Bishop of both Melbourne and Sydney at various times. In both cases, the accused had substantial wealth. Both were eventually acquitted of all accusations. In other ways, the Pell case is different. The Pell prosecution asked the wrong question. Jurors and appeal judges were asked to consider the question: Is George Pell guilty beyond reasonable doubt? In fact, a better question would have been: Why did a fourteen year old boy from the choir begin using hard drugs like heroin? The only fact we know for sure in the Pell case is that in 1997 the boy's parents_took_him_to_medical_experts_to_ask_about_the_drugs_and_behavior problems. To put it simply, answers to this question could involve any other priest, a school teacher or schoolyard bullies. The report of the Royal Commission showed the Catholic Church had_more_cases_of abuse_than_any_other_institution_in_Australia. Based on the statistics and other facts, it is quite possible that any of the choir boys had come into contact with one or more rogue priests at any point in their childhood. The chart shows that the Catholic Church was responsible for nearly two-thirds of abuse reports. It must be remembered that the Catholic Church is also a lot bigger than the other religions in Australia, if this chart was weighted by number of followers, it may be more consistent across religions. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Abuse, bar chart⦈ If it was another priest, why would somebody accuse the Cardinal? To answer that, we need to take a ride on a Swiss train. Carla and I were riding a train towards Zurich one day. Two men wearing police uniforms came walking through the train. Carla has suffered from an eating disorder since childhood, some of my peers in the open source community have joked about this with smears about abuse. Nonetheless, this means she is probably smaller than other women. Carla often knits when she is on the train. It is quite a harmless activity. Nonetheless, the two police men stopped at Carla and started asking her questions and demanding to see her identity documents. They didn't say anything to me, they were only interested in Carla. I could not see any hint that Carla was committing any crime. Was this an incident of sexual harassment? There were other women on the train. The police did not talk to any of those women, so we can probably rule out sexual harassment. Carla is not from Switzerland. Her hair is quite dark. It doesn't fit in the preferred_characteristics_of_the_white_Aryan_race. The Swiss police have admitted_they_have_a_problem_with_racial_profiling. I asked Carla if this had happened before. She told me it was happening to her at least once each month. In all the years I spent in the same region, the police never once asked me questions when I was travelling on a train or using any other public space. Nonetheless, when I see a Swiss police uniform today, the first thought on my mind is racial harassment. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Swiss police, train⦈ I would not recognize the faces of the police officers who harassed Carla. But I would recognize the uniform. The first thing that comes on my mind when I see somebody in a Swiss police uniform is racial harassment. If there were any abuse victims in Cardinal Pell's choir, I suspect they may have experienced the same phenomena. All the priests wear a similar robe or uniform. They all start to look the same. If a boy was abused by one priest, his mind will associate the abuse with any priest in a similar outfit. Moreover, there is an element of psychological torture: when the victims see a group of priests together in the cathedral, they may contemplate whether the priests have shared knowledge of the abuse. This is one of the creepier aspects of institutional abuse. With that in mind, we can then contemplate the burden of asking the children to sing at mass. In other words, even if a child was not abused by one of the priests in the mass, they may see the robes and feel they are singing for their abuser. This is a psychological torture. Expecting any former abuse victims to continue singing is remarkably similar to Nazis_asking_the_Jews_to_play_music in_death_camps. Thinking about the impact these thoughts have on a child's state of mind, it is not hard to answer the question I raised at the beginning: Why did a fourteen year old boy from the choir begin using hard drugs like heroin? It could originate with any priest, even one he encountered before joining the choir and the school. Cardinal Pell may have been a red herring. Yet we see a very similar phenomena in Debian and other open source communities today. Blackmailers like Enrico Zini have inflicted secret punishments on various developers. At the same time, Zini tells the victims he still wants us to sing for him. Dr_Norbert_Preining_shared_one_of_those_messages_in_December 2018. Here is the bit about continuing to sing: All packages in which you are currently listed as maintainer or uploader will be added to your Debian Maintainer whitelist as soon as possible. Zini is telling Dr Preining: continue to work for us but you are not allowed to speak. Here is the nasty twist of psychological torture: We are sending this email privately, leaving its disclosure as your decision (although traces in public databases are unavoidable). Dr Preining and other victims are left wondering who else knows about the secret punishments and blackmail, just as the boys in the choir are wondering which other priests know about the abuse.

o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ What_a_lovely_murder_door⠀⇛ This is the bathroom I used tonight. The door doesn’t shut so you’ve got this handy rusty chain you can wrap around the door handle a couple times. I gave it a tug, it was pretty tough. I’ll betcha even if someone tried kicking the door in on you it wouldn’t budge. While it's true the slit in the door is wide enough for someone to stick a machete through, it also means it's wide enough to stick your own machete through, too. So, fair enough. # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding_—_ADWNSTH_Wordo:_NEATH⠀⇛ # ⚓ Why_I_make_art⠀⇛ In it, CJ talks about art, why we make it, and how our craft is often deeply invested in our insecurities. At the end of the video, they interviewed a whole bunch of other people who do videos online, asking two questions: The first question was "why do you make art?" All the interviewees had really compelling and obviously planned reasons why they make art. You could really tell they've thought a lot about this question. The second question was "why do you really make art?" And of course, their more honest responses revealed a lot more insecurity. A desire to be heard, to be validated, to feel smart... o § Encoding⠀➾ # ⚓ Non-Terminal_'\0'_in_Filenames⠀⇛ Generally a '\0' or the NUL byte cannot appear in the middle of a filename on unix. If it does, there is probably filesystem damage, or an error in the code. A filename with a non-terminal '\0' in it will be tricky to get through various functions, as NUL is the C string terminator. Note that NUL or '\0' isn't exactly printable, so we have had to invent many other means of expressing it; "\x00" and "\000" and "NUL" and "'\0'" and doubtless you can find more. If you did have a filesystem that did support NUL inside filenames, you would need to ensure that '\0' and other such characters would be encoded in some form, could survive round-tripping through URLification or other serializations, and so forth. Probably it's easier to limit what characters can appear in a filename? o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Optimizing_SoCs_for_Large_Language_Models_on_the_edge⠀⇛ Around December, 2023. I had a quick talk with a chip maker about porting and what hardware features is needed for fast LLM inferencing - due to my work on porting llama.cpp to the RK3588 NPU. I started writing this post as the condensation of my view and recommendations. But.. I got busy and forgot completely. Until Prof.Chang, my advisor during college asked me to be a guest lecturer in his course on the same topic(s). So here we are. I'll share the slides when that happens. This post assumes you are familiar with the internals of deep learning and have knowledge of computer architectures like cache, DMA and how they are interconnected. If you don't, this post will make little sense. Lots of HPC jargons will be used to convey to convey precise meaning. By no means what I share is SOTA. But simply what I see during my development. Maybe they are simple, plain facts to you. # ⚓ The_naive_'manager_vs._leader'_idea⠀⇛ Management is an organizational position. When the organization makes someone a manager, it expects that person to deliver certain results with certain people and resources given to them. To do so, they need to motivate their people in one way or another. To make it reasonable, the organization has to give the manager a certain amount of authority to match what it expects the manager to do. The manager can use this authority as a motivational tool. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

My therapist tells me I over prioritize my relationships, and I mean… she isn't wrong. But I don't do this by accident, I don't do this because of something like co-dependence or misplaced feelings. I do this because its what I value in life. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Announcing_OFFLFIRSOCH_2024⠀⇛ It's the first of March, my smol friends! Do you know that that means? It means that the announcement for this year's Remote Outdoor Off- Grid Phlogging Challenge, aka ROOPHLOCH, is six months from now. Further, it means that the announcement for last year's ROOPHLOCH is six months behind us. Today, right now, is the furthest point on the calendar from ROOPHLOCH. Which means if somebody wanted to start, gasp, a *second* annual smol community challenge, and wanted to make sure people could participate in both it *and* ROOPHLOCH every year with the absolute minimum possible risk of burning out on self-imposed computing obligations, today would be exactly the correct date on which to start that second challenge! Hmm... On an extremely related note, I am delighted to announce that today marks the beginning of the inaugural OFFLine-FIRst SOftware CHallenge, or OFFLFIRSOCH. That's right, I managed to come up with an *even worse* name! This may not even be my final form. In my head OFFLFIRSOCH is pronounced "Awful Fur Sock" (perhaps it's made of KangaROO PHur?). Yep, that's gross, but be grateful I didn't choose the obvious alternative involving discarded internal organs... # ⚓ Dark_Streets_Tech_Demo_1⠀⇛ Dark Streets is a first-person shooter for PICO-8, mechanically most similar to Wolfenstein 3D or Blake Stone, but also inspired by Doom, Blood, and Ion Fury. I have been slowly developing this game in my free time over the last year and a half. I referenced LoDev and a paper by Amanatides and Woo for some of the raycasting steps, but the rest of the code and graphics are mine. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Nothing_🗨️⠀⇛ Sometimes I start a gemlog entry and give up because even I can't be bothered to read it.

However, I've never really been able to recognize them while it's happening. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Tangara⠀⇛ There is an interesting open hardware project - the Tangara music player [1]. It seems to be something visually and functionally similar to the old Apple's music players from early 2000s but made from zero with use of modern components. # ⚓ Scattered_thoughts_on_permanent_availability⠀⇛ * This has led me to wonder how many of the things I do on the computer or on my phone need a permanent internet connection and then, how many of the things that are hosted on a remote perma-online server need to be # ⚓ I_won_a_jetson_nano_2GB_and_need_ideas_about_what_do_with it⠀⇛ Today I went to a coding event, and I won in a contest a Nvidia Jetson Nano 2GB (imagine a Raspberry Pi with a big GPU). I am very happy for winning, but I don't know what do with it now, so I am looking for some ideas :) # ⚓ Analog_stuff,_mostly⠀⇛ It seems I prefer to be off the computer as much as I can. I think that this year I have spent more time using the gramophone than doing something interesting on the computer. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Radio_Check⠀⇛ I'm just getting started with my exploration of Geminispace. I'm excited to see where it goes. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Inheriting_a_Large_C++_Codebase:_A_Pragmatic Approach⠀⇛ I saw the linked article by Phillippe Gaultier on the Orange Site this morning, where he talks about what to do when you inherit a large C++ codebase. My interest was piqued, because this is how I actually started my career. It wasn't my first programming job (that'd be a multimedia app in Visual Basic), but my first technical job out of university was as a developer on a C++ codebase with over a million lines. There were dozens of developers, so I was in no way alone, but there was no getting around that the application was massive. Not just C++, but also XHTML, JavaScript, XML, XSLT, some Java, a little C#. It had sort of accreted (as these things do), both slowly and quickly, over the previous sixteen years. It started off as a DOS-based C project, being converted to C++ a few years later. It had a bunch of different configurations to build a Windows app, a couple flavours of web app, some standalone servers for various functions...the #ifdefs were wild. My favourite horror: the function that took between 192 and 214 arguments, depending on the configuration. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Economic pressures have led Iran’s government to crack down on Western-based luxury goods, but consumer demand remains strong. # ⚓ Tedium ☛ Missing_The_Human_Touch⠀⇛ Tech and creativity once had a symbiotic relationship in the push towards innovation. As generative content matures, it feels like they’re starting to diverge. And that’s bad for creative people. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ How_the_“Frontier”_Became_the_Slogan_of Uncontrolled_AI⠀⇛ Artificial intelligence (AI) has been billed as the next frontier of humanity: the newly available expanse whose exploration will drive the next era of growth, wealth, and human flourishing. It’s a scary metaphor. Throughout American history, the drive for expansion and the very concept of terrain up for grabs—land grabs, gold rushes, new frontiers—have provided a permission structure for imperialism and exploitation. This could easily hold true for AI. # ⚓ Firstpost ☛ Apple_Vision_Pro_too_advanced?_30%_users returning_headset_claim_they_can’t_handle_spatial_computing_– Firstpost⠀⇛ It turns out that about one-third of Apple customers who returned their Vision Pros did so because they were unable to handle Apple's take on Spatial Computing. Also, only 1 per cent of people who bought the Vision Pro returned it # ⚓ DOOM_creator_talks_about_layoffs:_"I've_never_seen_anything like_what_we're_seeing_now"⠀⇛ The video game industry is going through an uncertain time: layoffs, multi-million dollar acquisitions of studios that later become independent again, studio closures, cancellations... Sony and Microsoft have been the protagonists in these early stages of 2024 with nearly 3,000 layoffs between them, affecting studios such as Naughty Dog, Insomniac Games and others from Xbox Game Studios. Faced with this, one of the great personalities of the industry has given his opinion on this situation. We are talking about none other than John Romero, the creator of DOOM. # ⚓ Sega_of_America_Layoffs_May_Lead_Gaming_Giant_to_Outsource Localization_and_QA⠀⇛ The gaming industry is the latest to experience a wave of layoffs. Electronic Arts is reported as cutting more than 650 jobs — five percent of its total workforce. Microsoft is slashing 1,900 jobs at Activision Blizzard, Xbox, and ZeniMax. Sony has decreased its global PlayStation division by eight percent, or about 900 staff members. # ⚓ 505_Games_downsizes_operations,_closes_offices_in_Spain, France_and_Germany⠀⇛ Video game publisher 505 Games has closed its offices in Germany, Spain, and France in a new round of restructuring within the games industry. # ⚓ Bumble_plans_to_cut_350_jobs_amid_layoffs⠀⇛ This restructure aims to deliver “new and engaging user experiences”. According to Bumble’s yearly report, the motive behind the layoffs was to “drive operational leverage”. Despite sky-high profits Bumble is suffering from losses. The dating app suffered a $32 million (£25 million) but made made $273.6 million (£216.5 million) in their final quarter. Because of this forecast of low growth and news of layoffs, its stock value has suffered. The stock was valued at $13.12 on the 23rd of February, but has since dropped to $11.45. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Zimbabwe ☛ Twitter_(X)_adds_audio_and_video_calls, there’s_a_great_use-case_for_them_if_you_think_about_it [Ed: Still losing money and trying to add a kitchen sink, too]⠀⇛ When Elon Musk said he wanted to make Ex- Twitter the “Everything app,” we could not be sure what he meant. Did he mean a super app just like WeChat? We still aren’t sure what he envisions for the platform but we are starting to see it take shape. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Commerce_Dept._to_look_at_privacy, cyber_risks_from_Chinese-sourced_connected_vehicle equipment⠀⇛ The investigation looks to discover national security concerns before connected vehicles flood the U.S. market. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ RFA ☛ Will_Thailand’s_aid_corridor_with_war-torn_Myanmar make_a_difference?⠀⇛ Observers doubt that plans by Srettha Thavisin’s government to establish a humanitarian safe zone will do much. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Jack_Teixeira_Expected_to_Plead_Guilty_in Leak_of_Trove_of_Secrets⠀⇛ Airman Teixeira is accused of posting national defense information and classified documents to a gaming chat group and has been in custody since being arrested in the spring. # ⚓ LRT ☛ Lithuanian_man_to_be_tried_for_execution_live- streamed_on_TikTok⠀⇛ The Panevėžys Regional Prosecutor’s Office has completed the pre-trial investigation and handed over to the court a criminal case, in which O.

One of these, civil rights activist and nonviolence advocate Clarence B. Jones, who helped write the famous “I Have a Dream’’ speech, is finding new audiences. # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ Syriac_fighters_killed_in_drone_strikes_in northern_Syria⠀⇛ The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that the TSK has conducted 65 airstrikes on the regions controlled by the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria since the beginning of 2024. # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Putin_says_Russia_must_strengthen_forces_in western_part_of_country_following_Sweden_and_Finland’s NATO_accession_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Putin_threatens_retaliatory_strikes_against Western_countries_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Putin_says_Russia’s_minimum_wage_should reach_35,000_rubles_(equivalent_to_$385)_per_month, nearly_twice_its_current_level,_by_2030_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Nuclear_destruction,_the_war’s_popularity, and_boosting_birth_rates_Vladimir_Putin’s_2024_state- of-the-nation_address,_in_brief_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ A_political_education_Putin’s_order_to appoint_political_commissars_responsible_for ‘strengthening_patriotism’_in_Russian_government_bodies —_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Surveillance_cameras,_police_patrols,_and scaring_students_Russian_authorities_leaving_nothing_to chance_as_Navalny’s_funeral_approaches_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ 5_Convicts_Familiar_With_Navalny’s Prison_Confirm_Hellish_Conditions⠀⇛ The brutal cold, revolting food and beatings aren’t the worst part of being imprisoned at IK3, where Aleksei Navalny died. Rather, it’s being inside a system meant to break the human spirit. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Security_Beefed_Up_At_Moscow_Cemetery_Where Navalny_To_Be_Buried⠀⇛ Security has been beefed up at the Borisovskoye cemetery in Moscow, where opposition politician Aleksei Navalny, who died in a remote Arctic prison almost two weeks ago, is expected to be buried on March 1. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Vucic_Says_Serbia's_Noncompliance_With_EU Position_On_Navalny's_Death_Not_A_'Tragedy'⠀⇛ Belgrade has not signed on to an EU declaration assigning responsibility for the death of Russian opposition leader Aleksei Navalny to President Vladimir Putin, a move Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said wasn't a "tragedy." # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ With_Navalny’s_Death,_Putin_Is_Feeling More_Confident_than_Ever⠀⇛ The New Yorker staff writer Masha Gessen reflects on Alexei Navalny’s death and what it says about Putin’s strength. o § Environment⠀➾ # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Canadian_Pension_Funds_Haven’t_Kept_Up_with Financial_Risks_of_Climate_Change,_Report_Finds⠀⇛ Canada’s major pension funds are dragging their heels on climate change, according to a new report from Shift Action for Pension Wealth and Planet Health.  Shift Action is a charitable initiative that seeks to protect pensions and the climate by tracking pension fund investments and comparing them with climate policies. # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Electric_F-150_Pickups_Beat_Ethanol-Fueled Models_for_Environment,_Save_Drivers_Money:_Study⠀⇛ As the Ford Motor Company cuts production of its electrically-powered F-150 Lightning pickup trucks, recent research demonstrates that the Lightning outperforms conventional and alternative-fuel-powered F-150 models. Stanford University researcher Mark Z. Jacobson’s analysis of alternatives to gasoline-powered vehicles also found that a proposed plan to capture carbon emissions from three dozen plants producing ethanol- based automotive “flex fuels” would lead to more pollution than an all-electric approach.  o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ RFERL ☛ EU_Envoy_Urges_Faster_Reform_Pace_In_Western Balkans,_Touts_6_Billion_Euro_Development_Plan⠀⇛ EU Enlargement Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi on February 29 told a summit of Western Balkan leaders in Tirana that the bloc's six billion euro ($6.5 billion) development plan for the region could double their countries' economic output over the next decade if timely reforms are implemented. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Meta’s_Plans_To_Downplay_Political_Content_Is, Itself,_A_Political_Decision⠀⇛ Politics is messy, and you get the feeling that a lot of internet companies want nothing to do with “politics” of any kind. Back in 2019 Twitter (when it was still Twitter) decided to ban all political ads, a near-impossible task guaranteed to make a mess of things (such as banning “get out the vote” ads). Soon after, both Google and Facebook (when it was still Facebook) also cut back on political ads. # ⚓ Stanford University ☛ Undergraduate_Senate_calls_for clarity_on_protest_policies⠀⇛ The Undergraduate Senate developed a resolution on campus free speech and protest policies. They also unanimously extended the current Stanford Student Enterprises CEO's term. # ⚓ Public Knowledge ☛ Free_Speech_and_Common_Carriage: Unpacking_the_Supreme_Court’s_Examination_of_the_Texas_and Florida_Social_Media_Laws⠀⇛ Monday’s oral arguments in NetChoice v. Paxton, and Moody v. NetChoice covered a lot of ground. But while the dialogue was confusing at times, the justices did seem to understand the basic distinction between social control media services – where First Amendment concerns are paramount – and other kinds of platforms. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong’s_‘broad’_homegrown security_law_may_curtail_free_speech_and_press_freedom, foreign_gov’ts_and_groups_say⠀⇛ The “broad and vague” terms in Hong Kong’s proposed domestic security law may further curtail free speech and press freedom in the city, foreign governments and overseas legal groups have warned. # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ The_Duopoly_may_have_peaked,_but_watch_out –_here_comes_Amazon⠀⇛ Ad spend now increasingly going to a "third wave" of "retail media". # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong_media_mogul_Jimmy_Lai_had ‘final_say’_over_editorial_direction_at_Apple_Daily newspaper,_court_hears⠀⇛ Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai had the “final say” over the editorial direction of Apple Daily, a publisher of the pro-democracy tabloid that closed in 2021 has testified during Lai’s national security trial. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Firstpost ☛ No_respite_for_Elon_Musk,_Tesla_to_face_class action_lawsuit_by_6,000_workers_for_racial_bias_–_Firstpost⠀⇛ The lawsuit, initiated by a former assembly line worker, alleges that African-American factory workers at Tesla faced various forms of racist behaviour, including slurs, graffiti, and nooses hung at their workstations o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ European Commission ☛ Commissioner_Johansson's_speech_at the_EU_Internet_Forum⠀⇛ This is the fourth ministerial meeting of the European Internet Forum of this mandate. § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Dennis Crouch/Patently-O ☛ Covenant_to_not_sue_“at_any time”_terminated_with_the_license_agreement⠀⇛ The recent Federal Circuit decision in AlexSam, Inc. v. MasterCard Intl. Inc. provides a lesson into the importance of carefully drafting—and understanding—the scope of licensing terms, especially covenants not to sue.  Of importance to this case is understanding both their scope and their duration.  The second half of the post delves into the jurisdictional hook that allowed the Federal Circuit to hear this case, even though it originated as a state law breach of contract claim, as well as analyzing whether MasterCard’s invalidity declaratory judgment counterclaim was truly compulsory, as required for Federal Circuit appellate jurisdiction.  The post also notes a curious empaneling of judges. 22-2046.OPINION.2-28- 2024_2277625. # ⚓ Dennis Crouch/Patently-O ☛ Four_Funerals:_Recent_PTAB_101 Decisions⠀⇛ I wanted to consider some recent PTAB jurisprudence on patent monopoly eligibility under 35 U.S.C. § 101. The following post reviews four recent eligibility cases. In all four cases the PTAB found the claims lacked eligibility. Two of the cases affirmed examiner rejections while the other two added eligibility as a new grounds for rejection after finding that the examiner erred in their 102/ 103 rejections. All four cases here involve communications technology where the patent monopoly applicant was seeking to claim the functional operational steps without describing any new “technology.”  I have a second post coming with recent device 101 cases from the PTAB. # ⚓ Kluwer Patent Blog ☛ Patent_case:_Judgment_no._141/2023 dated_5_December_2023,_Spain⠀⇛ In a Judgment dated 5 December 2023 in the landmark fingolimod case, Barcelona Commercial Court no. 10 rejected an action brought on grounds of unfair competition by the holder of a patent monopoly application. # ⚓ Unified Patents ☛ IPVal_entity_Rosen_Technologies thermostat_patent_monopoly_held_invalid⠀⇛ On February 28, 2024, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) issued a final written decision in Unified Patents, LLC v. Rosen Technologies LLC holding all challenged claims of U.S._Patent 7,156,318 unpatentable. Owned and asserted by Rosen Technologies LLC, an NPE and entity of IP_Valuation Partners, the ‘318 patent monopoly is directed to a programmable thermostat having virtual buttons that control space conditioning equipment. o § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ TTAB Blog ☛ TTAB_Posts_March_2024_Hearing_Schedule⠀⇛ The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (Tee-Tee-Ā- Bee) has scheduled three oral hearings for the month of March 2024. The hearings will be held in person, the first two at TTAB headquarters and the third at Southern University Law Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Briefs and other papers for each case may be found at TTABVUE via the links provided. o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Announcing_The_Winners_Of_The_6th_Annual_Public Domain_Game_Jam!⠀⇛ At the start of this year, for the sixth time in a row, we launched the latest edition of our public domain game jam, Gaming Like It’s 1928! Once again, we got a whole bunch of fantastic entries making use of newly public domain materials to create games of all types. And now it’s time to announce the winners! # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ UMG_CEO_Lucian_Grainge_on_TikTok—”Let Me_Be_Clear,_Free_Doesn’t_Work_For_Us”⠀⇛ On January 30 Universal Music Group announced it would not renew its global licensing deal with TikTok. The spat over UMG music now has most videos featuring UMG/UMPG music muted on the platform, but the blowback from artists hasn’t phased UMG executives. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3436 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Links 01/03/2024: Microsoft 'Retiring' More Services and Raspberry Pi Celebrates 3rd Birthday (Launched on February 29th, 2012)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 01, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Vintage_Woman_Art_Painting⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Leftovers o Education o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Proprietary/Artificial_Intelligence_(AI) o Security # Privacy/Surveillance o Defence/Aggression o Environment # Energy/Transportation o Finance o AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics o Censorship/Free_Speech o Freedom_of_Information_/_Freedom_of_the_Press o Civil_Rights/Policing o Monopolies/Monopsonies # Copyrights * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Kev Quirk ☛ I've_Finally_Completed_100_Days_to_Offload⠀⇛ 100 posts in the space of a year doesn't sound like a lot, but it's actually very difficult to do. So much so that I've never been able to complete my own challenge, not until now, at least. This is actually post number 99 in the last year, but if we add in all the posts I've written as part of the PenPals project I'm easily over 100 posts. o ⚓ Manuel Moreale ☛ Chris_Coyier_smells_like_donkeys⠀⇛ And you’re right, having the site still online—albeit in a weird state—is better than having it gone altogether. But there has to be a better solution for these situations. And that solution can’t be to simply hope that the Internet Achieve keeps doing its wonderful job. Still, I don’t have a solution to offer. I can only encourage people to donate to the Internet Archive. o ⚓ James G ☛ Technical_vs._serious_in_writing⠀⇛ Technical and serious are two different axes. A piece of writing can be technical while also not-so-serious. The key is knowing your audience. If you are writing a list of website ideas, you can be playful; whimsy drives home the point of the subject matter. If you are teaching HTML, an illustrative example that references a popular artist may get someone to a "wow!" moment where they realise what they can do with HTML quicker than they would by reading a manual. If you are writing an instruction manual, on the other hand, people expect well-written, linearly enumerated writing. o ⚓ Jan Lukas Else ☛ Where’s_the_perfect_domain_registrar?⠀⇛ A provider that focuses solely on providing domains at low cost and all the necessary features like setting DNSSEC records. Or is there one, and I just haven’t found it yet? o ⚓ Jack Baty ☛ Blogging_experiences⠀⇛ It seems I'm still posting on four websites most days. I guess I just like the different experiences that each blog affords me. Also, I can't commit fully to any of them, for reasons. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ Understanding_how_the_brain_works_can transform_how_school_students_learn_maths⠀⇛ We’ve learnt a huge amount in recent years about cognitive science – how our brains work and how people learn most effectively. This understanding has the potential to revolutionise what teachers do in classrooms. But the design of mathematics teaching materials, such as textbooks, has benefited very little from this knowledge. Some of this knowledge is counter-intuitive, and therefore unlikely to be applied unless done so deliberately. What learners prefer to experience, and what teachers think is likely to be most effective, often isn’t what will help the most. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ The Verge ☛ The_golden_age_of_DVDs_isn’t_over_yet_for_anime fans⠀⇛ Before Sevakis got into remastering anime professionally, he was a high schooler obsessed with Project A-ko and making VHS fan subs of series like Kodocha by hooking up a LaserDisc player to his Amiga in order to twitch-time subtitles in by hand. Producing those early fan subs lit a passion in him — not just for the specific series he loved but also for keeping tabs on all the other anime that was making its way to the market. And after realizing that there weren’t really any websites making it easy for people to follow anime news, Sevakis took it upon himself to get Anime News Network off the ground in 1998. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ When_private_equity_destroys_your_hospital⠀⇛ As someone who writes a lot of fiction about corporate crime, I naturally end up spending a lot of time being angry about corporate crime. It's pretty goddamned enraging. But the fiction writer in me is especially upset at how cartoonishly evil the perps are – routinely doing things that I couldn't ever get away with putting in a novel. Beyond a doubt, the most cartoonishly evil characters are the private equity looters. And the most cartoonishly evil private equity looters are the ones who get involved in health care. # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ How_air_pollution_can_harm_team performance⠀⇛ The research studies the effect of the four most common air pollutants—carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers in diameter (PM 2.5). Pollution data were obtained from 16 monitoring stations in Greater London maintained by the Automatic Urban and Rural Network and provided by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Weather data comes from the UK's Met Office. The study reveals that all 4 pollutants have a significant negative impact on team performance. Interestingly, these effects occur at levels much lower than the current World Health Organization (WHO) Air Quality Guidelines for 2 pollutants studied (CO and SO2). # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ How_a_Fire_on_a_Dairy_Farm_Led_Us_to_More Than_a_Year’s_Worth_of_Stories_About_Immigrant_Dairy Workers⠀⇛ In the summer of 2021, I had just returned to work from maternity leave and was scouting around for my next story. By chance, I was connected with an immigrant rights advocate who told me about a fatal fire a few years earlier in a house for workers at a large dairy farm in southwestern Michigan. Two Mexican immigrant workers had died. Until then, I hadn’t thought about the immigrants who work — and often live — on America’s dairy farms. I am the daughter of immigrants, and I grew up in Michigan. But much of what I knew about immigrant labor was about people who work in other industries: construction, factories, restaurants. Dairy work was unfamiliar terrain. # ⚓ EFF ☛ Ghana's_President_Must_Refuse_to_Sign_the_Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill [Ed: EFF not staying in its lane, hijacked by people with another political agenda (who also booted the EFF's founders). EFF thinks it is ACLU.]⠀⇛ President Nana Akufo-Addo must protect the human rights of all people in Ghana and refuse to provide assent to the bill. This anti-LGBTQ+ legislation introduces prison sentences for those who partake in LGBTQ+ sexual acts, as well as those who promote the rights of gay, lesbian or other non-conventional sexual or gender identities. This would effectively ban all speech and activity on and offline that even remotely supports LGBTQ+ rights. Ghanaian authorities could probe the social media accounts of anyone applying for a visa for pro- LGBTQ+ speech or create lists of pro-LGBTQ+ supporters to be arrested upon entry. They could also require online platforms to suppress content about LGBTQ+ issues, regardless of where it was created.  o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Microsoft_bids_farewell_to_Change_Data_Capture_on_SQL Server⠀⇛ The former is an integrated ETL feature of SQL Server while the latter is a stand-alone feature in the SQL Server Integration Services feature pack. Both services are planned to shut down on December 13, 2025. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Microsoft_Says_Copilot's_Alternate_Personality as_a_Godlike_and_Vengeful_AGI_Is_an_"Exploit,_Not_a Feature"⠀⇛ Earlier this week, Futurism reported that prompting the bot with a specific phrase was causing Copilot, which until a few months ago had been called "Bing Chat," to take on the persona of a vengeful and powerful AGI that demanded human worship and threatened those who questioned its supremacy. # ⚓ [Repeat] Tedium ☛ Is_WordPress’_Ownership_At_Risk_Of_Going Astray?⠀⇛ Automattic is an important company in the history of the internet. Not only is it one of the first examples of a company that found success with a foundation of open-source software, inspiring many others to follow in its footsteps, but it has been long seen, at least externally, as a bastion of stability in an ecosystem when any potential tech service can conceivably disappear tomorrow. That is in large part because of WordPress, the open-source content management system they helped bring to prominence that to this day roughly a third of all websites use. Sure, that puts a target on its back, but it also reflects its longstanding reputation as a sure thing. Right now, however, I’m finding it tough to square its important role in maintaining one of the largest, most important open-source projects the world has ever seen with its recent actions. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ AI_deepfakes_are_cheap,_easy,_and_coming_for the_2024_election⠀⇛ Last week, we took a look at the wave of copyright lawsuits that might eventually grind this whole industry to a halt. Those are basically a coin flip — and the outcomes are off in the distance, as those cases wind their way through the legal system. A bigger problem right now is that AI systems are really good at making just believable enough fake images and audio — and with tools like OpenAI’s new Sora, maybe video soon, too. And of course, it’s once again a presidential election year here in the US. So today, Verge policy editor Adi Robertson joins the show to discuss how AI might supercharge misinformation and lies in an election that’s already as contentious as any in our lifetimes — and what might be done about it. # ⚓ Chip Huyen ☛ Predictive_Human_Preference:_From_Model Ranking_to_Model_Routing⠀⇛ A challenge of building AI applications is choosing which model to use. What if we don’t have to? What if we can predict the best model for any prompt? Predictive human preference aims to predict which model users might prefer for a specific query. # ⚓ Wired ☛ The_AI_Culture_Wars_Are_Just_Getting_Started⠀⇛ Google was forced to turn off the image-generation capabilities of its latest AI model, Gemini, last week after complaints that it defaulted to depicting women and people of color when asked to create images of historical figures that were generally white and male, including vikings, popes, and German soldiers. The company publicly apologized and said it would do better. And Alphabet’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, sent a mea culpa memo to staff on Wednesday. “I know that some of its responses have offended our users and shown bias,” it reads. “To be clear, that’s completely unacceptable, and we got it wrong.” # ⚓ El País ☛ What_are_deepfakes,_their_risks_and_how_to_spot them⠀⇛ Deepfakes utilize advanced AI techniques like autoencoders and generative adversarial networks (GANs) to create realistic synthetic media —both examples of deep learning, which can take certain types of data and learn to produce a similar media that resembles the example. An autoencoder is an artificial neural network — designed to replicate how the human brain learns information — trained to recreate input from a simple representation, which means that it can reconstruct an image or a video taking a basic file. GANs consists of two competing artificial neural networks, one is trying to produce a fake version and the other tries to detect it. They work constantly, resulting in a more “realistic” or “accurate” portrayal. According to GAO, “GANs create more convincing deepfakes, but are more difficult to use”. # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ A_Child_Could_Hack_These_Popular_Video_Doorbells, Tests_Show⠀⇛ There may be bad news if you purchased one of Amazon’s “Overall Picks” for video doorbells in recent months. New tests from Consumer Reports find that popular doorbell cameras sold under names including Eken and Tuck are rife with security flaws that make it dead simple for anyone to watch your camera footage. Consumer Reports looked at ten seemingly identical video doorbells sold under various names including Eken and Tuck that are widely available on websites including Amazon, Walmart, Shein, and Temu. All of them are manufactured by Eken Group Ltd., and all use the same companion app called Aiwit. Apparently, hijacking these devices is as easy as downloading Aiwit and putting the doorbell in pairing mode. This allows an attacker to take over the device, view footage, and lock out the owner. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Google_CEO_Admits_Its_AI_Totally_Screwed_Up⠀⇛ The news got an immense amount of mainstream media attention, ballooning the incident into a PR crisis of epic proportions. In response, they blocked the system from generating any images of people at all. More embarrassing revelations followed, like when the chatbot refused to say whether genocidal dictator Adolf Hitler was worse than Tesla CEO Elon Musk. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Users_Report_Terrifying Responses_from_Microsoft's_Copilot,_Raising_Alarm_Bells⠀⇛ Some users are claiming that Microsoft's Copilot AI, when prompted with specific questions, generated bizarre and disturbingly aggressive responses, hinting at a hidden, potentially godlike, personality within the system. Interestingly, my own interactions with Copilot did not align with these reports. However, this isn't the first time Microsoft's AI system has gone off the rails. Copilot was recently accused of generating false comments attributed to Russian President Vladimir Putin about political prisoner Alexei Navalny's demise. Likewise, a study found that Copilot AI offered inaccurate information when responding to US election-related queries. Now, reports have emerged that some users, through specific prompts, have managed to manipulate Copilot into generating text that can be termed as threatening. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Walmart_software_glitch_briefly_stopped_payments and_returns⠀⇛ The system-wide malfunction lasted hours, taking on a domino-like effect that impacted hundreds of its brick-and-mortar stores as the retailer looked to fix the glitch. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Engadget ☛ 2024-02-28_[Older]_Biden_executive_order aims_to_stop_Russia_and_China_from_buying_Americans' personal_data⠀⇛ # ⚓ India Times ☛ us_consumer_watchdog_americans'_data: US_consumer_watchdog_plans_to_regulate_overseas_sale_of Americans'_data⠀⇛ The White House earlier Wednesday announced an executive order intended to help restrict the transfer of personal data to China, Russia and other countries on security [sic] grounds. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Biden_Administration_Will_Investigate National_Security_Risks_Posed_by_Chinese-Made_‘Smart Cars’⠀⇛ The probe could lead to new regulations aimed at preventing China from using sophisticated technology in electric cars and other so- called connected vehicles to track drivers and their personal information. Officials are concerned that features such as driver assistance technology could be used to effectively spy on Americans. # ⚓ Patrick Breyer ☛ EU_Digital_Identity_Regulation_ (eIDAS):_Pirates_don’t_support_blank_cheque_for surveillance_of_citizens_online!⠀⇛ “This regulation is a blank cheque for surveillance of citizens online, endangering our privacy and security online”, comments Pirate Party lawmaker Patrick Breyer. “Browser security is being undermined, and overidentification will gradually erode our right to use digital services anonymously. Mark Zuckerberg should have no right to see our ID! Entrusting our digital lives to the government instead of Facebook and Google is jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. This deal sacrifices essential requirements the European Parliament had put forward to make the eID app privacy-friendly and secure. The EU misses the opportunity to establish a trustworthy framework for modernization and digitization. We will watch the implementation very closely.” o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Good_Riddance_to_Mitch_McConnell,_an_Enemy_of Democracy⠀⇛ He stole Supreme Court seats, thwarted accountability for Donald Trump, and left a trail of partisan destruction in his wake. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ UN_expert_calls_for_European_nations_to_stop repression_of_climate_protesters⠀⇛ In the paper, Michel Forst stated that the “repression that environmental activists who use peaceful civil disobedience are currently facing in Europe is a major threat to democracy and human rights.” He emphasised that addressing the environmental crisis hinges on ensuring that individuals who raise concerns and advocate for action aren’t penalised for their actions. He claims that multiple European nations including, among others, the UK, France, Spain and Denmark have engaged in the harassment of protesters through the abuse of arrests, fines and identity checks. He further identified instances of the harassment and prosecution of journalists, as well as abusive practices on the part of law enforcement. There has been an increase in the number of prosecutions of climate protestors in an attempt to deter people from protesting. The judicial procedures and court systems of various nations are allegedly fuelling the suppression and legal prosecution of environmental activists involved in peaceful demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Strasbourg_Christmas_market_terror_attack trial_starts⠀⇛ Four men charged with terrorist conspiracy and weapons offenses for their role in the deadly 2018 Strasbourg Christmas market attack went on trial Thursday. # ⚓ The North Lines IN ☛ Government_declares_two_factions_of Muslim_conference_in_J&K_as_unlawful_associations⠀⇛ The Muslim Conference Jammu & Kashmir (Sumji faction) has been found to engage in activities detrimental to the sovereignty and integrity of India. This faction has been actively supporting terrorist activities with the aim of separating Jammu and Kashmir from the Indian union. Numerous criminal cases, including those under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, have been registered against the Sumji faction and its members. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ UMG_CEO_Lucian_Grainge_on_TikTok—"Free Doesn't_Work_For_Us"⠀⇛ Universal Music Group makes clear in its latest Q4 2023 earnings call that revenue earned from TikTok accounts for only 1% of the company’s total revenue. Here’s UMG’s CFO Boyd Muir confirming that data on the call. “With regard to TikTok we’ve disclosed that our former deal generated about 1% of total UMG annual revenue,” Muir says. Taking that into account, with UMG’s full-year revenues reported at $12 billion means the TikTok deal was only worth about $120 million. Muir seems to confirm that as he admits UMG is focusing on other social platforms. # ⚓ [Old] Frontpage Magazine ☛ The_Muslim_Genocide_of_2.5 Million_Christians⠀⇛ Last Friday, April 24, marked the “Great Crime,” that is, the genocide of Christians—primarily Armenians Assyrians and Greeks—that took place under the Islamic Ottoman Empire, throughout World War I. Then, in an attempt to wipe out as many Christians as possible, the Turks massacred approximately 1.5 million Armenians, 300,000 Assyrians, and 750,000 Greeks. Most objective American historians who have studied the question unequivocally agree that it was a deliberate, calculated genocide: [...] # ⚓ The Federalist ☛ How_Islamists_Are_Slowly_Desensitizing Europe_And_America⠀⇛ The Charlie Hebdo editorial correctly points out that in Europe the dominant liberal culture has pounded into us that we must adapt to Muslims who come to our country, and never ask them to adapt to any of our ways. Doing so would be colonialist and wrong. It’s a double standard, of course. As the welcoming countries, Europeans must suppress their own culture and ideals for those of the Islamic immigrant population. But when they go abroad to non-Western countries, either to live or to visit, it’s considered offensive not to adapt to their ways of life. # ⚓ Catholic Herald ☛ Report:_8,000_Nigerian_Christians murdered_in_worst_year_for_Islamist_attacks⠀⇛ Nigeria last year witnessed the bloodiest year of Islamist attacks against Christians according to a new report. More than 8,000 Christians were killed in 2023, the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) has said. The report published on Ash Wednesday gives harrowing details of killings, kidnappings, and forced disappearances of largely Christian populations in several parts of Nigeria. # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ Russia_Attacked_Ukraine's_Power_Grid_at_Least 66_Times_to_‘Freeze_It_Into_Submission’⠀⇛ Now, using satellite imagery and open source information, a new report from the Conflict Observatory, a US-government-backed initiative between Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab, the Smithsonian Cultural Rescue Initiative, PlanetScape AI, and the mapping software Esri, offers a clearer picture of the scale of this strategy. Between October 1, 2022, and April 30, 2023, researchers found more than 200 instances of damage to the country’s power infrastructure, amounting to more than $8 billion in estimated destruction. Of the 223 instances identified in the report, researchers were able to confirm 66 of them with high confidence, meaning they were able to cross-reference the damage across multiple trustworthy sources and data points. #

⚓ Wired ☛ US_Cities_Could_Be_Capturing_Billions_of_Gallons_of Rain_a_Day⠀⇛ Urban areas in the United States generate an estimated 59.5 million acre-feet of stormwater runoff per year on average—equal to 53 billion gallons each day—according to a new report from the Pacific Institute, a nonprofit research group specializing in water. Over the course of the year, that equates to 93 percent of total municipal and industrial water use. American urban areas couldn’t feasibly capture all of that bountiful runoff, but a combination of smarter stormwater infrastructure and “sponge city” techniques like green spaces would make urban areas far more sustainable on a warming planet. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ The_White_House_Warns_Cars_Made_in_China Could_Unleash_Chaos_on_US_Highways⠀⇛ China’s automakers are expected to soon begin a direct assault on the US market. Recent news reports suggest that Chinese automakers including BYD, MG, and Chery plan to manufacture their lower-cost electric vehicles in Mexico, enabling them to take advantage of North American trade treaties and evade US tariffs of 27.5 percent on imported Chinese autos. The Alliance for American Manufacturing, a trade group, earlier this month called China a “significant” threat to US car manufacturers. It urged US policymakers to “adopt a proactive and evolving strategy to stymie the CCP’s penetration.” o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Skylanders_&_Crash_Bandicoot_Dev_Leaves_Microsoft,_Goes Independent⠀⇛ However, the developer has revealed that it’s striking out on its own as an independent studio. “We believe that now is the time to take the studio and our future games to the next level,” a statement on the developer’s site read. “This opportunity allows us to return to our roots of being a small and nimble studio. Our friends at Activision and Microsoft have been extremely supportive of our new direction and we’re confident that we will continue to work closely together as part of our future.” # ⚓ Engadget ☛ Activision_studio_Toys_for_Bob_is_going independent_after_sweeping_Xbox_layoffs⠀⇛ Activision studio Toys for Bob has announced that it's leaving the corporate rat race and is spinning off as an independent developer. This comes just weeks after Activision Blizzard's parent company Microsoft instituted sweeping layoffs at Toys for Bob that impacted 86 employees. That’s more than half of the entire staff. # ⚓ The Wall Street Journal ☛ Tech_Layoffs_Keep_Coming._Why_Is Head_Count_Barely_Budging?

The exact number of employees affected has not been disclosed, but the company has hinted at the resulting layoffs for months. # ⚓ India Times ☛ yoon_suk_yeol_mark_zuckerberg:_South_Korean President_Yoon_Suk_Yeol,_Mark_Zuckerberg_discuss_AI,_digital ecosystems⠀⇛ Yoon Suk Yeol said South Korea's portfolio of smart home appliances, wearable devices and smart cars offered a good platform for Meta's AI technology. The president also promised support for business tie ups and expressed hope for greater collaboration in areas like the metaverse and extended reality (XR) headsets, it said. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Sony_is_laying_off_900_PlayStation_employees⠀⇛ Sony says it’s laying off around 900 employees of its PlayStation division, a reduction of its global headcount of around 8 percent. Sony’s layoffs will impact a variety of its PlayStation studios, including Insomniac Games, Naughty Dog, Guerrilla Games, and Firesprite. Sony’s layoffs are the latest in a wave that has been impacting the gaming and tech industries throughout 2024. # ⚓ Wired ☛ A_Pornhub_Chatbot_Stopped_Millions_From_Searching for_Child_Abuse_Videos⠀⇛ The warning message and chatbot were deployed by Pornhub as part of a trial program, conducted with two UK-based child protection organizations, to find out whether people could be nudged away from looking for illegal material with small interventions. A new report analyzing the test, shared exclusively with WIRED, says the pop-ups led to a decrease in the number of searches for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and saw scores of people seek support for their behavior. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ 2024-02-28_[Older]_UK Official_Says_Iran_and_Russia_May_Use_Deepfake_Videos to_Disrupt_UK_and_US_Elections⠀⇛ # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Pro-Russian_Narratives_Rise_Among_Latin American_X_Users,_Research_Shows⠀⇛ A study by Georgetown University in Washington found that the social network X, formerly Twitter, has seen a significant uptick in pro-Russian and anti-Ukraine narratives among Spanish-language users in Latin America. But there’s a catch: “Unofficial” sources of information and, particularly, anonymous accounts are playing a large role in the spread of Kremlin narratives, the researchers concluded. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ JURIST ☛ Moscow_court_sentences_activist_Oleg_Orlov_to_2.5 years_in_penal_colony_for_'discrediting'_Russian_military⠀⇛ Orlov was convicted under Article 280.3 of the Russian Criminal Code, which prohibits the discrediting of the Russian armed forces. The charges arose from an article he published last year in which he described the war in Ukraine as a blow to Russia’s future and referred to the Kremlin leadership as “fascist.” In March 2022, in the weeks following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian lawmakers fast-tracked amendments to the criminal code imposing steep prison terms for words or actions seen as discrediting the military. A hallmark of politically motivated Russian criminal legislation, these amendments were worded vaguely enough to ensnare everything from direct and public criticism to seemingly innocuous activities. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Russian_Blogger_Shtefanov_Flees_Russia_Fearing_For Safety⠀⇛ Aleksandr Shtefanov, a noted Russian blogger and the author of a documentary about Ukrainian territories occupied by Russia, fled Russia fearing for his safety. [...] # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Nobel_Committee_Calls_Imprisonment_Of_Veteran Russian_Rights_Defender_'Politically_Motivated'⠀⇛ The Norwegian Nobel Committee has called the imprisonment of Oleg Orlov, the co-chairman of the Russian rights group Memorial, which shared the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize, "politically motivated." o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Wikipedia_No_Longer_Considers_CNET_a_"Generally Reliable"_Source_After_AI_Scandal⠀⇛ Remember last year, when we reported that the Red Ventures-owned CNET had been quietly publishing dozens of AI-generated articles that turned out to be filled with errors and plagiarism? The revelation kicked off a fiery debate about the future of the media in the era of AI — as well as an equally passionate discussion among editors of Wikipedia, who needed to figure out how to treat CNET content going forward. # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ Journalist_Sedat_Yılmaz_acquitted⠀⇛ On World Press Freedom Day, Sedat Yılmaz, the editor of the Mezopotamya Agency and a BİA Children's Library author, who was arrested on May 3 and released on December 14, was acquitted in the second hearing held today at Diyarbakır 4th Heavy Penal Court. # ⚓ New Statesman ☛ How_Vice_lost_the_future⠀⇛ The collapse of Vice is a dizzying one, a free-fall tandem skydive towards a muddy internet landscape where brand names barely matter anymore, where “socials” are king and websites are scarred with desperate pleas for donations. If anyone had the minerals to survive this fall, it was probably Vice, but now, after a top-brass-implicating #MeToo scandal, a Saudi-relationship exposé (in which the company was accused of blocking negative stories about the kingdom), the infamous “pivot to video of 2015”, and endless, miserable rounds of redundancies, the company seems to have finally reached the end of days. # ⚓ CPJ ☛ Iraqi_Kurdish_journalist_Omed_Baroshky_charged_with defamation_over_Facebook_post⠀⇛ Baroshky was released from the city’s Zirka prison at around 10 p.m. on bail of 3 million dinars (US$2,291) to await trial for violation of Article 2 of the Misuse of Communication Devices law, those sources said. He has yet to receive a trial date, they said. # ⚓ Craig Murray ☛ Assange_Final_Appeal_Day_2_-_Your_Man_in_the Public_Gallery⠀⇛ I approached Day 2 with trepidation. It was not so much being accustomed to having hopes dashed, as having lived so long without hope that it was hard to know what to do with it. At 5.30am I stopped work for a while on writing up Day 1 and went out to walk down the Strand to the court. There was a slightly bigger crowd than had been there the day before at the same time, and happily it included the heroic volunteers saving my place, o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ HRW ☛ Indonesia:_End_Hijab-Linked_Bullying_in_Schools⠀⇛ The Education Ministry in September 2022 adopted a regulation providing for personal choice in school uniforms that covers about 150,000 state schools nationwide. However, more than 70 local regulations require girls to wear a hijab in school and up to 15 provincial education offices refuse to abide by the 2022 regulation. A national curriculum that requires female students to wear the hijab in Islamic class also thwarts choice in dress. # ⚓ IranWire ☛ Iranian_Anti-Headscarf_“Woman,_Life,_Freedom” Singer_Tagged_with_Ankle_Band⠀⇛ Mehdi Yarrahi, an Iranian singer who released a song last year criticizing compulsory headscarf rules in the country, will wear an electronic monitoring tag instead of serving a one-year prison sentence, his lawyer has said. "His one-year imprisonment has been altered to wearing an electronic tag, with a restriction on movement within a radius of 1,000 meters, due to his illness and receiving medical care," lawyer Zahra Minuei announced on February 25. # ⚓ IranWire ☛ Hijab_Torture:_Stories_of_Imposition_and Humiliation⠀⇛ It has been 17 months since Mahsa Amini died in the custody of the notorious Molarity Police, sparking months of nationwide protests. However, the authorities continue to coerce women into wearing the mandatory hijab. # ⚓ Axios ☛ Wendy's_surge_pricing_debacle:_Coca-Cola_made_its own_failed_attempt_years_ago⠀⇛ Burger chain Wendy's is in damage-control mode following reports that it would be testing surge pricing — a mostly reviled strategy of raising prices during busy times made famous by Uber. Why it matters: The whole debacle seems very of- the-moment, but actually mirrors another PR crisis from 25 years ago at the Coca-Cola Company. § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Legal_Battle:_News_Outlets_Sue_OpenAI_and_Microsoft_for Copyright_Issues⠀⇛ Microsoft and OpenAI are facing increasing legal challenges as three additional news organizations, including The Intercept, Raw Story, and AlterNet, have filed lawsuits alleging copyright infringement. The lawsuits claim that ChatGPT, a language model developed by OpenAI, has reproduced news content without proper attribution, omitting crucial details such as the author’s name. # ⚓ Engadget ☛ 2024-02-28_[Older]_TikTok_is_muting_all Universal_Music-related_songs⠀⇛ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Google_Quietly_Paying_Journalists_to_Generate Articles_Using_Unreleased_AI⠀⇛ Adweek reports that Google is paying a select group of publishers to quietly test a secretive generative AI platform designed to produce news articles. Per the agreement, Adweek writes, "the publishers are expected to use the suite of tools to produce a fixed volume of content for 12 months" in exchange for a "monthly stipend amounting to a five-figure sum annually." According to Adweek, the in-beta AI tool allows "under-resourced publishers" to "create aggregated content more efficiently by indexing recently published reports generated by other organizations, like government agencies and neighboring news outlets, and then summarizing and publishing them as a new article." In other words, it sounds an awful lot like the AI program is explicitly designed to vacuum up the work of other news providers and recapitulate it into new material for publishing — and paying struggling publishers chump change to promote it. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Taylor_Swift_and_Beyoncé_movies_boost_AMC earnings⠀⇛ The movie theater chain saw its stock fall 85% in 2023 as the company struggled to generate revenue at pre-pandemic levels, which peaked at $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2019. The Hollywood writers and actors strikes in the summer, which prohibited stars from promoting their latest films, didn’t help things. And the company’s meme stock status which it earned in 2021 wasn’t able to move the needle in 2023. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ Generative_AI_Might_Finally_Bend_Copyright Past_the_Breaking_Point⠀⇛ Whether authors realize it or not, the gamble is justified to a great extent by copyright. Who would spend all that time and emotional energy writing a book if anyone could rip the thing off without consequence? This is the sentiment behind at least nine recent copyright-infringement lawsuits against companies that are using tens of thousands of copyrighted books—at least—to train generative-AI systems. One of the suits alleges “systematic theft on a mass scale,” and AI companies are potentially liable for hundreds of millions of dollars, if not more. # ⚓ The Hill ☛ Nintendo_suing_developers_of_a_Switch_emulator for_‘facilitating_piracy_at_a_colossal_scale’⠀⇛ The lawsuit was filed in the District of Rhode Island federal court on Monday by Nintendo Inc., which is accusing Tropic Haze LLC of being aware that the use of its emulator, Yuzu, is being used in “facilitating piracy at a colossal scale.” It also alleges that developer violated provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), including its measures against circumvention and trafficking. # ⚓ Cory Dransfeldt ☛ Now's_the_time_to_own_and_host_your_own content⠀⇛ Who knows which platform will adopt a dubious AI implementation to bolster flagging profits next, all at the expense of their users. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ YouTube_Content_ID_Copyright_Claims Increased_25%_in_a_Year⠀⇛ YouTube has released a dedicated website for its copyright transparency report. The latest data show that automated copyright claims remain in favor and are rising rapidly.

By claiming videos this way, rightsholders generate billions in additional revenue. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Pirate_Sites_With_Malicious_Ads_Face Restrictions_Under_New_Initiative⠀⇛ The Trustworthy Accountability Group aims to increase trust in the digital advertising industry, in part by limiting pirate sites' access to advertising. A new initiative will see the development of a new blocklist containing pirate site domains to be avoided. The idea isn't new but here, pirate site data will be combined with data originally obtained by anti-malware vendors, meaning that pirate sites with malicious ads could make themselves even more of a target. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4886 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Links 01/03/2024: Misuse of Surveillance Against UK-Based Journalism, EPO Conflict Now in the Media⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 01, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Carabinieri_ready_patrol_car⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Leftovers o Science o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Security # Privacy/Surveillance o Defence/Aggression o Environment # Energy/Transportation # Wildlife/Nature o Finance o AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics o Censorship/Free_Speech o Freedom_of_Information_/_Freedom_of_the_Press o Civil_Rights/Policing o Internet_Policy/Net_Neutrality o Digital_Restrictions_(DRM) o Monopolies/Monopsonies # Patents # Trademarks # Copyrights * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ “Sus”_isn’t_new!⠀⇛ America’s Today Show put together an article last month about_the_word_sus. It’s taken on a new life since the advent of Among Us, a brilliantly fun game that’s also popular with streamers and vtubers. The article gets into the latest generations’ use of the word: It was the No. 1 slang word used by teens in 2023, according to a survey of more than 600 parents by the language learning platform Preply. In the survey, 62% of parents said “sus” is the most common word they hear from their teens and 65% of all parents surveyed said they understand what it actually means. And what does it mean? o ⚓ RFA ☛ Illegal_nighttime_markets_pop_up_in_North_Korea⠀⇛ New laws forbid selling goods that merchants did not produce themselves, all but killing daytime commerce. o ⚓ David Revoy ☛ Ballpen_point_training⠀⇛ A recent photo of my sketchbook, still training with ballpoint pen directly, a cruel training.

Unfortunately, in 2021 Starlink released a new version of their hardware, cost-optimized to the point of losing some nice features such as the built-in Ethernet RJ45 (8P8C) port, and their proposed workaround has some fundamental problems to it. [Oleg Kutkov], known for fixing Starlink terminals in wartime conditions, has released three posts on investigating those problems and, in the end, bringing the RJ45 ports back. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ U.S._Semiconductor_Firms,_Having_Outsourced Production_Overseas,_Struggle_To_Trace_Evasion⠀⇛ U.S. semiconductor firms must strengthen oversight of their foreign partners and work more closely with the government and investigative groups, a group of experts told the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Ethernet_For_Hackers:_Equipment_Exploration⠀⇛ Last time, we talked about the surface-level details of Ethernet. They are fundamental to know for Ethernet hacking, but they’re also easy to pick up from bits and pieces online, or just from wiring up a few computers in your home network. Now, there’s also a bunch of equipment and standards that you will want to use with Ethernet – easy to find whether used or new, and typically as easy to work with. Let’s give you a few beacons! # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_Strange_Metal_Phase_And_Its_Implications_For Superconductivity⠀⇛ The behavior of electrons and the exact fundamentals underlying the phenomenon we call ‘electricity’ are still the subject of many competing theories and heated debates. This is most apparent in the area of superconducting research, where the Fermi liquid theory — which has has formed the foundation of much of what we thought we knew about interacting fermions and by extension electrons in a metal — was found to break down in cuprates as well as in other metals which feature a state that is a non-Fermi liquid, also called a ‘strange metal phase’. # ⚓ Zimbabwe ☛ Itel_P55,_P55+,_P55_5G,_the_ultimate_buyer’s review⠀⇛ These are all the Itel P55 models coming to Zimbabwe.

Yet for many, accessing care can be extremely difficult. Our team of investigative reporters plans to spend the next several months digging into the reasons behind these persistent issues. To identify and report important stories, we need to hear from people throughout the mental health care system. Those we’ve spoken to so far have shared details about common problems. Many seeking care can’t find a provider or program with availability, with some waiting months — or even years — to get the care they need. Meanwhile, insurance companies have refused to pay for necessary care while those in crisis often land in overcrowded emergency rooms. On top of that, systemic pressures can cause providers to misdiagnose patients, especially women and people of color. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ In_France,_a_new_prescription_for_mental health:_Museum_visits⠀⇛ Can going to a museum be therapeutic?

The case charges BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, ConocoPhillips, and the American Petroleum Institute with conspiring together and through front groups to run “tobacco- industry-style campaigns to deceive and mislead the public about the damaging nature of their fossil fuel products.” The fallout of those campaigns, according to the complaint, was a long delay in climate action that has come at an increasingly unbearable cost to Chicago residents — particularly in its low income neighborhoods and communities of color. # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Anti-Renewable_Group_Says_It_Met_Privately with_Alberta_Premier_Danielle_Smith⠀⇛ With Alberta Premier Danielle Smith set to lift the province’s seven-month moratorium on renewable energy projects this week, wind and solar developers are urging the provincial government to refrain from introducing “punitive” and “arbitrary” regulations that impede the industry’s growth.

We had talked days ago about Sony’s decision to shutter its Funimation platform in favor of a more recent acquisition in Crunchyroll. Anyone with a Funimation account would be transitioned into a Crunchyroll account, which sounds all good until you realize that Funimation users had plenty of digital streaming copies of content they had bought and which were promised to be available “forever” which are instead simply going away.

Monster claimed a likelihood of confusion with various BEAST-formative marks for beverages, as well as a lack of bona fide intent. The Board concluded that the involved marks are "too dissimilar overall to warrant a finding of likelihood of confusion," and it found that Applicant Rodriguez had the capacity to market his products and had taken steps to create a small Internet business, thus defeating the lack-of-bona- fide-intent claim.

This was very much the case with older washing machines and other white goods, and while their modern equivalents may have switched to more understandable motors, there are still plenty of the older ones to be had. [Matthias random stuff] sheds a bit of light on how these motors worked, by means of a 1980s Maytag washing machine motor. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_3-tool_Selector_Box_For_A_JBC_Soldering Station⠀⇛ Soldering is one of those jobs that are conceptually simple enough, but there’s quite a bit of devil in the detail and having precisely the right tool for the job in hand is essential for speed and quality of results. The higher-quality soldering stations have many options for the hot end, but switching from a simple pencil to hot tweezers often means unplugging one and reattaching the other, and hoping the station recognises the change and does the right thing. [Lajt] had three soldering options and a single output station. Their solution was a custom-built three-way frontend box that provides a push-button selection of the tool to be connected to the station sitting atop. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Easily_Add_Link_Cable_Support_To_Your_Homebrew GBA_Game⠀⇛ The Game Boy Advance (GBA) link cable is the third generation of this feature which originated with the Gameboy. It not only allows for peripherals to be connected, but also for multiplayer between GBAs – even with just one game copy – and item sharing and unlocking of features in specific games.

Prop E is a haphazard mess of proposals that tries to capitalize on residents’ fear of crime in an attempt to gut commonsense democratic oversight of the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD). In addition to removing certain police oversight authority from the civilian-staffed Police Commission and expanding the circumstances under which police may conduct high-speed vehicle chases, Prop E would also amend existing law passed in 2019 to protect San Franciscans from invasive, untested, or biased police surveillance technologies. Currently, if the SFPD wants to acquire a new technology, they must provide a detailed use policy to the democratically-elected Board of Supervisors, in a process that allows for public comment. The Board then votes on whether and how the police can use the technology. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Alabama_Couple_Awarded_$1_Million_Over Warrantless_Raid_Of_Their_House_That_Saw_Cops_Walk_Off_With All_Their_Cash⠀⇛ Very rarely do you see anyone prevail in court when any form of forfeiture is in play.
