EPO examiners are trained in science, so they know that the work comes first, then come the patents (market exclusivity or monopoly). There's the argument that without patents there would be no incentive to invest and thus no research; that too has been debunked many times before (many grants come from government, i.e. taxpayers, especially in areas like medical research which can be long and expensive/laborious). In the case of software_patents, it would be hard to argue a developer with a keyboard needs a large lab and 10 years of clinical trials. It would be hard to argue that for software development investment would be needed either from government or the private sector. Many software innovations happen in some basement or garage or bedroom, not some lab. Those innovations aren't physical; they're a logic assemblage of computer instructions, improved and refined over time. Over the past 2.5 months we wrote about the EPO every day. Without exception. We'll try to keep that up! We know the examination division is grossly understaffed (we heard it from many people and it was brought up in the General_Assembly). We know that António Campinos - like Benoît_Battistelli before him - is pressuring_examiners_to_fake "production" (usually via minions below him, e.g. the Chief Operating Officer). We also know there's a mental health crisis and pressure to overwork, resulting in fatigue, burnout, even mental breakdowns and physical wear (like ergonomic matters). We heard plenty of stories, sometimes in private. Many people basically destroyed their mind, their body, or both. All for an EPO salary. The "compensation" wasn't enough. Professional integrity or pride associated with that job (or institution) has eroded. People who once boasted about working in an organisation that requires about 3 university degrees and fluency in about 3 languages now observe that the recruitment bar was lowered a great deal, and salaries likewise. Retired examiners have barely seen their pensions keeping up with humongous inflation rates. Solidarity is needed here. Sympathy is warranted too. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Surfer_and_Seagulls_at_the_beach⦈_ The EPO isn't run by scientists anymore. It's run for and by lawyers and politicians. It's only run for money. Even the so-called 'courts' (either internal tribunals or the illegal_UPC) aren't there for justice but for business. Heck, litigation itself is Big Business. The examiners hand over munitions and fodder. There is a wave of strikes sweeping across Europe at the moment (e.g. Finland, France, Germany). Our Daily Links are filled with examples - about half a dozen every day so far this month. Whether they will accomplish much - or not - remains to be seen, but at least the workers are trying. There's always a majority (i.e. more people) at the "bottom" than at the "top". It is a pyramid. And the distribution of power and wealth, absurdly, is an upside-down pyramid. This needs to change. The aforementioned people with 3 university degrees deserve more capital than a flunky like Campinos, who compensates for his insecurity complex by cursing at staff representatives. The patent system, as it stands at the moment, empowers those at the top, not the stereotypical "sole inventor" seeking to protect himself or herself from Big Business. Just have a quick look at how much patent attorneys charge per hour compared to the daily salary of a mythical "sole inventor" in some country like Cyprus or Slovakia. There's no simple way to correct the EPO and rectify the situation, but without a doubt dissent will be needed. That includes transparency. Whether willful or imposed (e.g. leakers and whistleblowers), transparency can improve the situation. Techrights relies on brave actions of EPO insiders. We hope to facilitate transparency or act of a medium (of communication) between one insider and many colleagues at the EPO. If enough insiders found the courage to do this, colleagues would be better informed. We remind everyone that in nearly 18 years of this site's existence we never burned a source. I can be contacted with encryption, as always (since more than 20 years ago), and I will exercise caution to prioritise safety of sources. █

Abuse/Vandalism in Internet Relay Chat (IRC)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 13, 2024 Vandalism is not "free speech" (it's not even meant to look decent) 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Graffiti On A Wall⦈ RECENTLY I've noticed that the SoylentNews_(SN) IRC network was attacked quite badly by rather horrible trolls. It went on for a long time. They even created a channel whose description is "your mother was the cameraman for goatse". We had similar vandalism in our IRC network until we took action against vandals and criminals. They basically try to associate the site (and server/network) with abhorrent stuff. They create channels that associate the site with actual crimes, not just disgusting things. They seed a false narrative. They try to harm reputations by association. To be clear, tackling this stuff is not about censorship but about curtailing overt abuse by people who had already been banned over a decade ago for abuse not only against admins but also their family members. It's about dealing with people whose sole intention isn't to express themselves but to vandalise networks, communities, sites etc. Demoralising people isn't always easy, but time-wasting is. Someone called "Ingar" in the SN IRC network said to me, "add an ignore for aristarchus and get on with life." Well, you cannot mute or ignore a user for everyone in the channel and the user can change name, access network etc. With Tor and VPNs it's more complicated. So another approach is needed. To be clear, this isn't a case of dealing with opposing views. It's about vandalism. In our case, we had to deal with people_who_interject_sex_into_tech_channels to gross people out, repel women, and derank logs in search engines etc. Perverts and people with mental defects tend to do this, knowing it would mostly harm the targets of these attacks. SN could temporarily use a "voice" system. It means people who come in are given "voice". If trolls come in, they can be denied voice. This way they get bored, move on, then the channel mod(e)s are changed back (reverted/restored when things calm down). "Probably no reason for non staff to have voice in this chan anyhow," chromas said about #governance. I told him that "SN's main channel and the governance channels could weed out the abuse easily; see M and m in various_manuals," which may or may not be applicable to the IRC daemon of choice (most of them support this functionality). IRC isn't optimal, but it has worked well for over 35 years. That's why_it survived_for_this_long. Freenode pretty much collapsed and later this year we'll have a scoop (an insider's story) about it.

Does Debian need a Conflict of Interest register? People have asked for it several times. Cabal members have always refused. Over the last few years, I've had various questions from people about how much they can really trust certain people in Debian. Vigilantes claim to have a Code of Conduct for Debian. But a Code of Conduct is worthless without any process for managing Conflict of Interest. Last weekend the DebConf8 room allocation data was published somewhere on the Internet and this gives some scary insights into Conflict of Interest. § Privacy of accommodation data⠀➾ Most people would assume that a data set like this is somewhat private and an organization like Debian would be competent in keeping it private. Maintaining the privacy of the data requires both technical and social best practice. As we saw in_the_evidence_about_Debian_harassment_culture_being_a factor_in_suicides, it isn't the best social environment. A poor social environment is going to struggle to maintain effective privacy. In relation to the privacy of DebConf personal data, one of the most glaring lapses came with the Albanian scandal. The former Debian Project Leader, Chris Lamb, first visited Albania in 2017. One of the women spent two years visiting events with Lamb. She_was_seated_next_to_Lamb_at_the_DebConf19_dinner_in Brazil._Eight_weeks_later,_she_was_selected_for_a_$6,000_Outreachy_internship. When you look at the photos and travel itineraries, there is no evidence that the woman did anything wrong. There is a strong hint that Chris Lamb was smitten with this girl. All the rules on funding were relaxed. When they gave the woman the Outreachy placement, she writes that she_had_to begin_learning_Git_and_at_the_same_time,_they_simply_gave_her_access_to_the DebConf_Git_repository. The repository contains a lot of private information about participants throughout the whole history of DebConf. I do not believe this woman is any less trustworthy than any other volunteer. On the other hand, the ease with which Lamb gave a smiling newcomer access to this data and the manner in which funding rules were violated suggests that Debian security has some soft spots. § DebConf8 bed allocation: a fresh perspective on DebConf6 violence⠀➾ A few weeks ago, I wrote about the manner in which two volunteers, Moray Allan and Holger Levsen, allegedly assaulted_and_physically_expelled_Ted_Walther_from DebConf6. The summary of the incident includes the following text: At this point Holger and Moray, as mentioned above, manhandled Ted across the dining hall to the door, where they were intercepted by John. In my subsequent blog about the topic, I_published_an_email_from_Amaya_Rodrigo Sastre_where_she_appears_to_be_justifying_violence_towards_Mr_Walther, the victim: I explained to her that what was going on had nothing to do with her, that it was a problem with Ted and that I believed Ted was a dangerous person and that she should be careful. Amaya's defamatory emails have been made available to over 1,000 Debian Developers who have had access to the debian-private archives. 16 years have passed. Many people will not know or remember that Amaya had a conflict of interest. In fact, Amaya had a relationship with Holger, one of the aggressors. She was writing these emails to disparage Mr Walther and take the pressure off her unstable boyfriend. The relationship appears to be confirmed in the DebConf8 room list, here we see Amaya and Holger sharing a room: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Amaya Rodrigo Sastre, Holger Levsen, Margarita Manterola, Maximiliano Curia, Damian Viano, Martina Ferrari, Gregor Herrmann⦈ Amaya could have added a disclaimer to her emails to declare a conflict of interest but she didn't do so. How can we ensure that people who see her emails in future will be aware of this vital fact? Another thing to notice in the room list is that Margarita Manterola and Maximiliano Curia were able to share a room. Marga is the Google employee who sent_me_a_hideous_email_telling_me_that_Carla_was_not_welcome_to_share_the_food at_DebConf. Looking at the DebConf8 room list, we can see that these people behave like the pigs in Animal Farm. George Orwell has simplified the Code of Conduct down to just one sentence: All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others This is significant for all users and contributors to Debian. This type of toxic social phenomena creates friction against innovation, it undermines privacy and it undermines security of the final software product.

(From the Linux Foundation's Board) Gives Some Credit to "Richard" (Stallman)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 13, 2024 She also gets some facts wrong*, but nobody_is_perfect. She explains that GNU was seen by companies like it was "fringe" of "hippies". Unlike the Linux_Foundation, she at least gives some credit and she uses the "F" word (freedom) quite a few times. ______ * She thinks "The Internet" started in the 90s. Not the Web, the Internet. She says Linux is a "MICROkernel" (it famously is not). It should be noted that Peterson did not coin or create the term "Open Source". Ruff perpetuates a debunked myth, but to her credit, Ruff's talk is better than the_average nonsense from the 'Linux' (Gates)_Foundation and she is a technical person. Some of the points she made were fair. That talk was only published weeks ago and OSI co-founder Bruce Perens was in the room too. The media has ignored the latest_initiative_from_Perens, just as we_expected. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 787 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://news.techrights.org/n/2024/03/13/Meme_Send_Us_Your_EPO_Scoops.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2024/03/13/Meme_Send_Us_Your_EPO_Scoops.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ [Meme] Send Us Your EPO 'Scoops'⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 13, 2024 A_call_for_EPO_leakers_and_whistleblowers 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇António, we have another leak⦈ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⠟⠉⠉⠉⣻⠏⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠶⠖⠒⠒⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠙⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣁⣀⣈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠓⠒⠒⠦⠤⠤⠤⢀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠑⠒⠒⠒⠂⠠⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠛⠛⠛⠻⠓⠚⠻⠟⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠀⠲⠀⠘⣀⣈⣀⣸⣯⣷⢒⣛⣉⣻⣏⣽⣯⣯⣭⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣐⠟⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠲⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣈⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣄⣀⠘⠿⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣴⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⣆⠀⢀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣽⣏⡏⡏⣿⣭⣿⢿⡏⣯⡟⣿⣿⣷⣤⡀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠙⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠃⡇⠋⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣧⣿⣧⣧⣿⣿⣿⣯⣧⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡈⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⠛⠊⠉⠲⣶⣖⣶⣰⣶⢶⣶⣶⣲⣶⣶⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⡏⢿⣿⠿⢹⡹⡟⣯⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⢿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣧⣿⣿⣿⣼⣶⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⠀⠈⠻⣿⣦⡀⠩⣽⣭⡩⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⢿⣽⢹⣿⣿⢹⢹⣿⢹⡏⣏⣿⢹⡏⣿⢿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⠁⠙⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣷⠀⠒⠐⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣷⡀⠀⠀⠐⠂⢰⣢⡤⠶⡃⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⠄⠻⣿⣽⣾⣿⣼⣭⣿⣼⣼⣿⣼⣧⣯⣿⣼⣧⣿⣾⣽⣷⣿⠟⠁⣄⠀⠀⣄⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣥⣵⣶⣄⠛⠻⣿⣯⡙⠛⢿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⣿⣶⣶⣦⣾⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣶⣷⣾⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣶⣾⣶⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣌⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠘⣧⡀⠉⡼⠋⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⠙⢿⣷⣄⠘⢿⢿⣦⡀⠛⢿⣀⡀⢠⣤⣶⢸ ⣿⣿⣿⢿⢻⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⣰⣿⣿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⡄⡇⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⢿⠂⠈⠛⣿⣷⣀⠘⢿⣷⣤⡀⠉⠉⠋⢰⣟⢹ ⣿⣿⣿⣆⣽⣧⡿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⡟⢰⠟⠋⠠⠄⠀⠌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⢵⡀⠘⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⡄⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⣈⡻⣿⣧⡀⠙⢿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣾ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⢿⣿⣀⣴⣶⣀⣀⣤⣤⣌⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⠀⣽⠃⡀⠰⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⡞⠇⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡦⠙⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⢿ ⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢐⡃⠀⠰⠀⠡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢷⡀⠀⠀⢾⣿⠟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣠⡀⣠⣤⣶⣿ ⣭⣯⣿⣿⣿⣦⣴⣾⣿⣿⣽⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⢿⣿⣿⣷⣾⢃⣿⡠⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⢸⠱⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠁⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠙⠛⠿⠿⠉⠘⢿⢊⠭⡏⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠤⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⢻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡟⠿⡧⠁⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⣁⣀⣀⣨⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣾⣿⣥⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⢿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣭⣤⣤⣠⣴⣄⣤⣦⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣷⣶⣶⣶⣦⣾⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣦⣶⣶⣶⣦⣿⣗⣶⣼ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 836 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://news.techrights.org/n/2024/03/13/Months_After_IRC_Turned_35_So_Does_the_World_Wide_Web_WWW.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2024/03/13/Months_After_IRC_Turned_35_So_Does_the_World_Wide_Web_WWW.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Months After IRC Turned 35 So Does the World Wide Web (WWW)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 13, 2024, updated Mar 13, 2024 Yes, IRC predates_the_Web and it still_rocks with IRC still_boasting_300,000+ users_online (considering not all are tracked/counted in netsplit.de). 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Information Management: A Proposal⦈ The Linux Foundation's Nithya Ruff cannot_tell_the_difference_between_the Internet_and_the_Web (even in 2024, even_though_she_works_in_an_Internet_giant called_Amazon) , but this misconception is very commonplace. Many people conflated the ubiquitous Web with Microsoft's "blue E" (Internet Exploder is a misleading name because it says "Internet" - not Web - while it's_exploding_it) and Mozilla still_doesn't_know_the_"I"_must_be_capitalised_and_why_that's_very important. "The WWW turned 35 yesterday," someone reminded us, "apparently." Well, yes, apparently... Notice the date. Screenshot included at the top! Remember that the Web and its various 'branches' were preceded not just by other proposals but also working prototypes, e.g. Xanadu. The Web is the one that truly caught on and its goals (if not licensing) was inspired by GNU. That was years before Linux even existed. The Web became patent-free (at first) and non-profit, never mind what surveillance capitalism would do to it later. It was_open_before_it_became_OSPS. One might say that the Web caught on for the same reasons Linux (with GNU) blew past BSD. Linus Torvalds repeatedly explained that the GPL was a large contributor to the success of Linux. Git would later use that same licence and take off very fast. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Timbl_at_the_London_Olympics_12_years_ago⦈_ No news coverage can be found regarding the anniversary of the Web this week, just a tiny handful of blogs. Long-form articles would be well-overdue, maybe much needed, but there are none. So tells us an associate. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Tim_Berners-Lee⦈_ Does today's media not consider such an important anniversary noteworthy? Newsworthy? Celebration-worthy? If not, what does that tell us about the state of the media? The father of the Web, Tim Berners-Lee, was a_key_'feature'_in_the_opening ceremony_at_the_London_Olympics_12_years_ago (local_copy_as_WebM). Has he been thrown under the bus, fed to the dogs along with DRM (EME)? The official_CERN page has since then been poisoned by JavaScript, which is contrary to what the Web should have been. The World_Wide_Web_Consortium_is_now_GAFAM and they put software patents inside the Web. Gemini_software is a response to that, but Google_is_now_hijacking_the_name. █ "There was a bit of confusion recently regarding the announcement of a 'gnupedia' project. There already exists a free encyclopedia project, with all code GPL'd and all content FDL'd, and that project is Nupedia. I have written an article explaining what happened. Basically, RMS got confused." --Jimbo_Wales ⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⡆⠀⢐⡂⡴⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠄⠄⠀⠄⠤⠄⡄⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠠⠠⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

in 1.5 decades. THE old wiki page about software_patents_in_New_Zealand (started 2010) continues to be accessed a lot, but it has not been updated for 6 years. A lot has happened in terms of GNU/Linux adoption there, especially if one counts Chromebooks_as_GNU/Linux, in which case this_month's_numbers_from_statCounter show it exceeding 5% (double_the_equivalent_figure_in_Australia but still short of the UK at 7.5%). English-speaking countries tend to be high in terms of adoption of ChromeOS probably because of the roots (Google) and anglophone marketing of Chromebooks. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Flag of New Zealand⦈

I previously wrote a high_level_overview_of_how_Debian_falsified_harassment statements_against_Jacob_Appelbaum. Now it is time to look at the detail. Here is an exchange between Mehdi Dogguy and Nicolas Dandrimont. Dogguy was Debian Project Leader, Dandrimont has become a member of the Debian Account Managers team. The key thing to note here is they are simply cutting and pasting smears about harassment from the Tor Project. The smears they are cutting-and-pasting do not come from real police or a court. The Tor Project claims they hired an independent investigator. What qualifies somebody to be an investigator? When claims were made about Jeffrey Epstein visiting MIT, the MIT management hired the law firm Goodwin Proctor to conduct the investigation. They told everybody that Goodwin Proctor was doing this work. People could bypass MIT and give reports directly to the lawyers. At the end of this process, MIT published the_full_report_and_the_names_of_those_who_worked_on_the_investigation. Every step taken at the Tor Project was the opposite of the process followed by MIT. Their_statement_does_not_give_any_link_to_the_report_itself. Their statement does not identify the name of the investigator, the name of their firm or their credentials. This comment from Sheri Steel, the Tor Project leader stands out: The investigator worked closely with me and our attorneys In other words, it appears that the investigator was not able to work independently. If the name of the investigator was never made public, how could volunteers go around Miss Steel and speak to the investigator directly? The Tor Project is using an_address_in_New_Hampshire,_US, a jurisdiction that is well known for its attitude to freedom and deregulation. Here is an article about_the_qualifications_of_private_investigators_in_New_Hampshire. Notice in particular that NH accepts the registration of investigators who have been dishonorably discharged from the military and other police forces. There are no checks on the financial credibility or mental health of licensed investigators. The investigator could be anybody from an ex-fireman to an undercover_mall_cop. The report from Tor Project is therefore only as good as the person who wrote it and what they were paid. If the investigator was in a weak financial position, they may have felt immense pressure to write a report that tells their client what the paymaster wants to hear. That is almost always the path of least resistance. Large professional law firms would not put their name on a report like this. According to a_detailed_report_in_German_magazine_Die_Zeit,_the_claims_against Appelbaum_concern_incidents_at_his_apartment_in_Berlin. Under German criminal law, if Miss Steele or any other person who attended the party visit a police station and sign a complaint, the police have a mandatory obligation to investigate the matter. An investigation by the police is impartial and you do not have to pay them to do it. According to German law, every_crime_reported_to the_prosecutor_must_be_recorded_in_writing_by_the_public_officials. In other words, if any woman had a genuine complaint against Dr Appelbaum, the prosecutor can not refuse to open a case. The nature of German civil code (StPO) is absolutely clear, the prosecutor is obliged to listen to every woman and investigate every single complaint. The prosecutor does not charge victims a fee for making an investigation. This raises another question, why would any victim choose to give payment to an anonymous New Hampshire mall cop when they can use an impartial German state prosecutor for free? Due to the nature of abuse, many genuine victims have great difficulty in coming forward to report a crime. For childhood abuse victims, it takes an average of 30 years for victims to come forward. Yet once a victim has decided to speak, if they have the courage to speak to a private investigator, why would they not speak to the police? In every case, a police report can be more thorough, more credible and they can use their powers to protect genuine victims from further abuse. If any woman was really in danger, if Tor Project genuinely cared about protecting women in future, why would they not use the criminal procedure? Many of us put our trust in free, open source software for a whole range of critical services from the banking industry to nuclear plants. Users of Tor Project include activists in dangerous parts of the world who may be subjected to severe punishments, even execution, if they are caught communicating on the Internet. These people are trusting Tor and other open source software with their lives. Yet if we can't trust the people who make Debian and Tor, how can we trust the software? If you are submitting an article to a peer-reviewed academic journal, you need to identify your sources, their names and the papers they published. The Debian Account Managers do none of those things, they cut-and-paste words from a blog about an anonymous source and accepted it all as truth. Given their role in the Debian Project, it is scary how they could be so gullible to fall for something like this. Notice how Mehdi Dogguy wrote a statement that did not include references to sexual activity, see the title of the message, it is simply "Jacob Appelbaum and harrassement". The original paragraph used the word "abuse" without any qualification. Nicolas Dandrimont strongly insists on inserting the word sexual as a prefix to both those words. Such statements are a hideous defamation and can not be used without evidence. █ Subject: Re: Jacob Appelbaum and harrassement Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2016 14:53:35 +0200 From: Nicolas Dandrimont To: Mehdi Dogguy CC: debian-private@lists.debian.org [snip] * Mehdi Dogguy [2016-06-15 13:48:53 +0200]: > In the meantime, we believe that the most urgent thing to do is to > make sure that Debian as a community is safe for its contributors, and > able to deal with people who abuse or manipulate, regardless of who > they are, whether it happens online or at Debian events.

I had to do a double take on this paragraph, and I still can't believe what I'm reading. Let's suppose I'm a newcomer in the project. Who should those two people be? With my outreach team hat on, and in the context of having encouraged around twenty newcomers coming to the next big Debian event, I feel very uncomfortable with that response. Should the message we are sending be that "yep, if you're talking to someone one on one, it's your fault"? > People normally make mistakes, and they need to have a chance to > realise what happened, own up to their mistakes, and take action to > prevent them from happening in the future. Other people need to have a > chance to take action if that does not happen. You should make very sure that your public interventions on the matter are worded more carefully. We're not talking about mere mistakes here, we're talking about sexual assault, and harassment (sexual or otherwise). Those are things that leave permanent scars on the victims, and can ruin their lives. Not really something you can dismiss with "well, it happens". If such events happen in our community, I do hope that some of us will have the strength to make the attacker realize that what they did is wrong, help them to make amends and, if that comes to it, help them heal themselves. But, first and foremost, as a community, we need to make very sure that all the community is safe, and that we stand by each other when we need each other. If that means excluding some elements of our community to keep others safe, then we should not be afraid to do it. > If you want to report any issues, you can contact DAM > and the Anti-Harassment team [4] > > > [4] https://wiki.debian.org/AntiHarassment What is the current status of the anti-harassment team with DebConf being very close and their attention being more than needed for that period? Bye, -- Nicolas Dandrimont On a side note, Nicolas Dandrimont asked me to consider_his_girlfriend_for_an Outreachy_internship. I have regularly made complaints about these conflicts of interest in Debian. Anybody who talks about these conflicts of interest is accused of sexual harassment. When I complain about Dandrimont's girlfriend, I'm doing it for all the other women who missed out on this opportunity. Notice how Dandrimont asks to be removed from the selection process but he goes on to make comments about the projects and finishes with an offer to help rank the candidates anyway. This is not what it looks like when somebody honestly recuses themself from a decision. The selection process described by Dandrimont would be no more credible than the investigation at the Tor Project. Subject: Recusing myself from Outreachy applicant selection decisions, internships funding Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2016 12:37:46 +0200 From: Nicolas Dandrimont To: leader@debian.org, outreach@debian.org CC: mapreri@debian.org, pocock@debian.org Hey all, As of today, the person I'm involved with, Pauline Pommeret, is applying to an Outreachy internship in Debian (on the GPG cleanroom environment project - I don't see her mail on the list archive yet, so something must have gone wrong, but it should arrive soon enough). To avoid an obvious conflict of interest, I am recusing myself for any decisions regarding applicant selections for this round. I am of course still happy to serve as a liaison with the Outreachy program administrators, and to forward our applicants to them for general funding when selected, if the money allocated by Debian runs out. This would especially be relevant, in my opinion, to RTC projects, as I'm not sure at all that we should fund them from Debian money directly. Karen Sandler also told me that one of the Outreachy sponsors was interested in funding interns on Reproducible Builds. All in all, we should be able to have two or three internship slots with Debian only disbursing one. I'll stay on the outreach@d.o alias for now, but let me know if you need help ranking applicants, and I'll ask DSA to remove me so you can discuss at ease.

Months beforehand we complained that results in languages other than English accounted for almost 50% of the results returned for English queries. Weeks later that stopped entirely. We covered that about half a dozen times, including in_October. We don't know if Gulag Noise staff (what's left of it; many layoffs lately) reads what we write about the disservice, but either way, it seems like there's at least some effort to cull the "shit" and improve.

Microsoft is easily the shittiest company in the tech world. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Burnt Toilet⦈ ⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠒⠒⠷⠿⠷⠼⠿⠿⠿⡿⠀⠻⠷⠤⠶⠷⠤⣼⣻⣿⣿⣗⣂⢀⡰⠿⠿⠟⠁⠀⢚⡛⠟⣀⣠⣀⡀⠊⠛⠃⢠⡀⠀⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣻⣥⣿⠋⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠴⠶⢦⠀⣄⢷⡄⢲⣶⠗⢒⠒⢲⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡿⠷⣶⣤⣶⣶⠤⢤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡍⠈⠎⠿⡯⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣻⣿ ⠀⣠⣾⣷⡄⠀⠀⣿⣿⣷⠀⠘⣶⣶⣄⢀⣀⣘⣛⡚⠃⠀⠀⠀⠙⠋⠛⠛⠋⠉⠁⠠⠼⠿⡿⠟⠶⠾⠿⠿⠯⠽⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣈⣿⠗⠀⠀⠀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠢⢲⠰⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⣟⣿ ⣤⣽⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠙⠿⠿⠀⠐⢀⠉⢷⣤⡔⢣⢠⣾⣿⣶⣄⣙⣷⣦⣀⠐⠤⣤⢤⣄⠀⢠⣤⣤⣤⣠⡀⠀⢤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⢶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠰⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⢻⡟⣻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢲⣄⠀⣄⠀⢉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⡉⠙⠛⠓⠂⠀⠀⠛⠷⠊⠁⠈⠹⡿⠿⢿⠿⠻⣿⠽⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢈⣽⣿⠿⣿⡿⢓⢸⣿ ⠻⠛⠻⢿⠿⢿⣿⣾⡿⢿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⢟⠈⠿⠆⠙⢷⠀⠻⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⢠⠈⠙⠿⣷⣶⣴⣶⣶⣶⠴⢦⠄⠠⠤⡤⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢡⣿⡏⣵⠀⠀⠀⢁⠘⢿⣿ ⣀⠀⢀⣄⣀⠀⠀⡸⣧⣼⡄⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣧⠀⢶⣶⡄⠠⣤⠀⢠⣄⣀⡀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠛⠉⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣽⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣿⣿⣿⡗⠼⠎⠀⠀⠀⠃⣶⣿ ⣤⣄⢈⡍⠉⢛⠍⠴⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⠈⡉⢀⠈⠛⠛⠂⠘⠛⠀⠹⠟⠉⠀⠀⠐⠢⣶⣶⣶⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠸⠿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿ ⠉⠉⠚⠻⠐⠀⡀⢰⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠈⠃⠀⠬⡃⣀⢻⣿⣷⣄⠀⢠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣉⣉⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣣⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⡤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣶⣦⣦⡁⢀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⡇⠴⠀⣀⡠⠹⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⣍⣉⣐⡂⠛⠳⠄⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣴⡿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⢿⣿⡇⣴⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠀⣠⠁⠀⠘⣿⣿⣇⠀⣠⣍⠀⢀⠈⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠄⢸⣿⣿⣿⡦⠀⠐⢶⣦⣀⠀⠀⠈⢁⡀⠉⠀⢹⣿⠁⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠻⡋⠛⠁⠛⡿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿ ⡙⠿⢋⡿⠻⡷⠶⠆⣿⣿⣿⠈⠀⢜⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠿⢒⡀⡀⠈⠁⠀⣿⡇⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠿⠷⠶⠄⣾⣿⠃⡴⠀⢠⣶⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⠿⠓⢺⣧⣧⡿⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⠚⠠⠄⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠊⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⣸⣿⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⢴⣶⣶⣶⣿⡏⢠⢾⠂⢸⣿⡿⠿⠟⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣾⣾⣾⣾⣁⣷⡿⠏⣹⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⡀⠀⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠳⠦⠀⡀⠀⣿⡇⣹⣿⣿⠟⠻⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣳⣶⡶⠬⠤⣿⣿⠁⣼⠃⠀⢀⣠⣾⣧⠮⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿ ⢬⣋⣛⣃⣽⣿⠷⠛⢿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠳⠷⢦⣠⣄⣠⣿⢧⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⡏⠀⡲⠁⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⢀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢖⣺⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣾⣿⡿⠁⡀⠀⠓⠒⠲⠤⠤⢠⣟⠿⠿⠿⠯⣴⣿⣿⢧⡄⠀⢾⣿⠿⣹⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⠀⠀⠛⣿⣿⣿⣷⠄⢸⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠒⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣟⣁⣤⢶⣿⣯⣮⣄⡀⣾⡏⠐⣓⣲⠀⣸⣿⣿⠈⡀⠀⢸⢩⣼⣿⣿⡜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⠈⠀⠐⢈⠻⣿⣿⣿⢺⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠦⠠⠀⠂⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⣲⠿⠶⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣯⣴⣧⣠⣀⡙⠻⢰⣏⣿⡟⠀⠁⠀⠀⠸⢿⣻⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⣶⡤⠀⠠⣤⠀⠀⠀⢀⡙⢻⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠘⠂⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⡀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠇⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⡀⣰⣶⣤⣄⠀⠸⢠⡇⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⡯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⠛⠤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠨⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⢰⡍⢝⡛⠿⢿⣷⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⣲⣤⢄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠁⠈⠃⢛⠃⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⣴⡦⢳⢛⡆⠀⠀⢒⣀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣷⣶⣭⣙⡲⠤⡀⠀⣿⣿⡧⠀⠀⠀⠘⠳⠘⢿⣿⣷⣮⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢀⣤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⠇⠀⠀⠙⠛⠮⢥⡹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠈⢹⠀⠀⣠⡀⠀⠗⣷⠯⠊⢀⡠⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠋⢩⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣛⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⢿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠁⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠉⠀⠠⠈⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⠿⠟⠙⡿⠿⢿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠉⠑⠀⡀⣢⣲⣿⣿⢽⣷⡭⠛⠿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠁⠀⠀⠀⢰⣾⣿⣟⣿⣻⡻⠉⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢿⣿⣿⢁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢾⣯⣝⣛⡛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣷⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⢀⡰⢠⡾⡺⢡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡨⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡿⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠁⠀⠀⠀⢲⣤⣤⡠⣂⣤⡀⠀⠀⠐⠐⠁⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢡⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀ ⠀⢠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⣿⣿⠅⠀⠀⠀⢠⠚⣿⣿⠠⡀⢢⣤⣜⣿⡏⠋⠊⡉⠁⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢛⠹⠿⠿⣻⠃⠃⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀ ⠛⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡐⣰⣷⣿⠉⢻⣿⣿⢟⣯⡏⢈⠂⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠁⠐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣗⢆⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠨⠿⠿⠽⠷⠶⠄⠈⠍⠌⡛⠋⠈⠢⠨⠐⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⡤⠔⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⢸⣶⣿⣿⣿⣓⡄⠀⠀⢍⣄⢉⢄⢀⠲⢑⢦⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⢿⣻⣿⡿⠛⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡟⡛⣿⣿⠿⣆⣢⣲⣽⣿⠩⣘⠈⡛⡯⠧⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⣿⡯⠂⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⡱⠧⠀⠈⠂⠤⠙⢙⣛⡚⠗⣏⠹⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠟⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠙⠒⡯⠤⠞⠋⠤⠞⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⣀⣈⡀⠀⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠘⢿⢿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1816 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Gemini Links 13/03/2024: Humbling Experiences and Genuine Spaces⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 13, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Picturesque_Lake_Landscape⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Politics_and_World_Events o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini # Software_Releases/Announcements * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ Humbling_Experiences⠀⇛ Life is, as we all know, a life-long learning experience. It can be smoothed out for sure, so one does not learn as much, because learning at my current age is quite painful. But still, I seek it out for some reason. [...] Changing job is painful because you go from knowing what you're doing, being on top of everything, and feeling a (somewhat made up) sense of being needed, to total newbness, perhaps a new programming language, entirely new context, and new colleagues to which you have to prove yourself once more. [...] Being married means spending a lot of time with a person who knows you well they will be able to, with great accuracy, point out all of your limitations and flaws, even the ones you did not know about yourself. Marriage has many good parts but I feel pain from this, but I know it's the right thing. # ⚓ A_newcomer⠀⇛ Bartender! A cup of Darjeeling for me please. Well hello everybody, I have finally been granted access to the midnight pub, so first of all I need to thank m15o for creating this cozy space on the internet, and keeping it up! I also have a space on the smol pub, but I missed the community aspect where I can answer to posts and have people answer mine. # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_AIUOQRN_Wordo:_PLONK⠀⇛ # ⚓ What...for?!_📃⠀⇛ Dark. Wet. Aching. I wasn't enjoying my cycle home. I barely noticed the people crossing the road as I passed. Then I heard the small child speaking earnestly. o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Re:_Binary_blinkers⠀⇛ Right. Great post. When I argue for degrowth the word I prefer to use is “sustainability” since that more clearly indicates that it’s not about mindless destruction; it’s about stewardship of limited resources. I’m for degrowth if sustainability is what’s meant by it. [I’m glad that people are trying to go to space] but the flimsy house of nothingness that capitalism has built on the lie of fossil fuels is gonna collapse and the only cure is working with sustainability in mind. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Denying_the_ML_antecedent⠀⇛ Normally going online and into the li’l echo chamber created by my steady stream of blocks is cozy & comfy because everyone is sane about everything (climate, bodily autonomy, criticizing capitalism, eating plants, etc) and sometimes I even learn new things (like how bad cryptocurrencies are, and yes, they're super bad). One recent hot topic where I started out in full agreement because my initial take was also super negative is ML & generated art. But I’m a li’l scared that the steady stream of super bad arguments and outright misinfo will gradually push me into a more pro-ML-stance. # ⚓ Unkind⠀⇛ I've always been very much interested in technical subjects such as math and programming. But recently my interest in these subjects has been very weak. I still have an interest, but every time I try to dive into any of these I just don't feel that interested. At the start of the year I did get involved with scheme and with operating systems, and currently I am still somewhat interested in learning more about low level programming and the Linux kernel. But every time I think of these things I think a better use of my time would be in developing my learning of languages, more on that later. Besides the usual topics of math and programming I have a few other interests, mainly in science. There is physics, which I suspect would be a very useful thing to know, also with electricity and electronics, and I have a few things I would like to do with it, such as a rain-powered generator. But, being in nature and working with plants, I am more drawn towards the life sciences, especially ecology, and as a sort of ancillary subject, chemistry. But still, all these subjects take the back seat as my main interest in languages takes most of my time. # ⚓ Genuine_Spaces⠀⇛ I've been on an Old School RuneScape kick. I started playing in 2007 when I was in third grade, and here I am, 17 years later, still playing. There's a saying in the community: "you don't quit, you just go AFK." Well, I relapsed. In case you're not familiar with OSRS, a "world" is an instance of the game. Players on the same world can see each other in-game. Players on different worlds cannot. Helps distribute players among servers. For superficial reasons, World 420 is one of the more popular worlds. The fact that it's gated by 1,500 total level in the game, usually a few hundred hours of playtime, is a coincidence, but it keeps the bots out. But the result is interesting: a digital space with a thousand or so people almost completely separate from the bots and advertising. It's like a chatroom with a game attached. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Writing_more⠀⇛ In my attempt to write more i have been trying to post blog posts to my site more, recently i did one about the small web (which i plan to do more of) and just today did one about peoples opinions on modern minecraft (and how the anwser to their complaints is usually just don't play modern minecraft you can play old versions) # § Software Releases/Announcements⠀➾ # ⚓ Quick_Update:_AuraGem_Search_Now_Crawls_Nex⠀⇛ Note that since the crawler just started running, it may not have all of nexspace yet. Spartan support is coming soon. However, there may not be another devlog update when that is added since this is my last AuraGem project for Geminispace, so keep a look out for changes on the AuraGem Search Engine page, or the AuraGem GitLab repo. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software. It's like the World Wide Web but a lot lighter. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2046 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Links 13/03/2024: Chatbots Failing Quite Badly, TikTok in Trouble (US)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 13, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Oceania_And_The_Pacific_Vintage_Map⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Leftovers o Science o Education o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Proprietary/Artificial_Intelligence_(AI) o Security # Privacy/Surveillance o Defence/Aggression o Transparency/Investigative_Reporting o Environment # Energy/Transportation # Overpopulation 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 ⚓ Tim Bornholdt ☛ Adding_tagging_to_timbornholdt.com⠀⇛ But as I think through the best place to start, I'm resisting my urge to just blanket redesign the site without a plan. And the first step of that plan is to do the tedious work of going through my archives and adding tags to the old posts. Tags aren't exactly a revolutionary new feature. It took me about a half hour to implement the basics, and then another day or so of tweaking the process of adding them to each post so I can do it quickly. o ⚓ EAPL.mx ☛ [EN]_Re:_Micropower_radio⠀⇛ Creating your own station is illegal, as in you need to buy an 'expensive concession and follow requirements from communications authority', being more expensive than the equipment to operate, and inconvenient for some messages. I see why pirate stations are appealing for some. I worked as well in a college station although transmitting only by Internet and with some speakers around the campus. I was working in a project to build an FM station there. Sadly the university, being private, didn't approved required resources. The local public university still has a station though. o ⚓ Eric Bailey ☛ Thoughts_on_embedding_alternative_text_metadata into_images⠀⇛ Another trend I see from time to time on social media is the idea that images should have alternative (alt) text descriptions included in their metadata. Like a lot of things accessibility-related, the idea contains nuance that needs unpacking. At a high level, storing alt text as metadata is not a bad idea. In fact, reading the sentiment expressed makes me happy. It is a step above indifference or downright hostility—two frustratingly common reactions to asking someone to describe their images with text. That said, the framing and presenting of the “storing alt text as metadata” as a technological concept itself also has some things to think through. Let’s unpack it. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ Shells_collected_during_Captain_Cook's final_voyage_rescued_from_skip⠀⇛ The shells were passed down to Atkinson’s grandson John Clayton (1792-1890), before being sold along with the Clayton estate in 1930, and entering the collection of Newcastle University. Thereafter, the history of the collection seemed to stop, and experts believed the rare shells collected by Atkinson had simply been lost. But it has now emerged that in the 1980’s the shells were thrown into a skip as part of a general clear-out before Buchanan spotted the specimens and took them home. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Barry Hess ☛ Anti-Leadership⠀⇛ When bad things happen, no matter the organization, we look to leaders to step up and help us through to an outcome that gives us hope for a better future. This starts with helping to solve the immediate problem expediently. As the wider group is under a high degree of anxiety and panic, a leader’s calm demeanor is helpful. Sometimes they need to help the team step back, take a breath, and slow down decisions. Other times they need to communicate the direness of the situation, encouraging quick movement depending on past training and experience. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Quartz ☛ 3D_Wi-Fi_could_fix_connection_issues_and_change the_technology⠀⇛ Most wireless communication relies on “planar” processors, meaning they’re essentially flat. Because they’re two-dimensional, they can only handle a limited range of frequencies at a given time. But unlocking a manufacturing process that lets you build chips in three dimensions could let hardware handle multiple frequencies at the same time. That could amount to a revolution. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Tourist_stays_still_20%_below_pre-pandemic levels⠀⇛ The importance of foreign visitors to Latvia's tourism sector, and the size of the ongoing recovery from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic is made clear in new data published by Eurostat March 8. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ France_President_Macron_announces_bill_that_would legalize_assisted_suicide⠀⇛ French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Monday in an exclusive interview with La Croix and Libération the outline of the French end-of-life bill, which opens the door for assisted dying in the country. # ⚓ Lee Peterson ☛ The_no_podcasts_for_30_days_experiment⠀⇛ So I’m now into the second week of my break from podcasts so I thought I’d try a 30 day experiment. # ⚓ University of Michigan ☛ Political_rage_on_social_media_is making_us_cynical⠀⇛ They found that people who were exposed to more political attacks on social media were more politically cynical, and that perceived exposure to these attacks was associated with more anger about the state of the U.S., which was subsequently related to greater levels of political cynicism. Their results, based on a panel survey of 1,800 American adults fielded during the 2020 election, were recently published in the International Journal of Press/Politics. # ⚓ Air Force Times ☛ VA_plans_to_trim_10,000_jobs_this_year, mostly_from_medical_sites⠀⇛ The cuts represent about 2% of the total VA employee count of more than 458,000, the largest total in department history. VA has seen significant additions in staffing in recent years, adding more than 82,000 workers to the payroll since 2019. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ New_York_Guardianship_Services_Was_Supposed to_Care_for_the_Sick_and_Elderly._Instead,_It_Left_Them Confused_and_Alone.⠀⇛ Across New York City, hundreds of vulnerable people have been entrusted to New York Guardianship Services, one of roughly a dozen companies the courts rely on to care for “the unbefriended,” those without family or friends to help them. The state’s guardianship law is supposed to prevent these guardians from abusing, neglecting and defrauding those under their care. But, as ProPublica reported last week, the measure is failing to safeguard those who need protection the most. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Google's_Gemini_AI_chatbot_won't_answer_some questions_about_elections⠀⇛ The news come just weeks after Google was forced to pause its AI model from generating images of people after users found it was making historically inaccurate and sometimes offensive photos. “This wasn’t what we intended,” Google said in a blog post in February. “So we turned the image generation of people off and will work to improve it significantly before turning it back on.” # ⚓ India Times ☛ ai_rules:_Sweeping_EU_rules_on_AI_to_pass final_hurdle⠀⇛ EU lawmakers are poised to approve on Wednesday wide-ranging rules to govern artificial intelligence, including powerful systems like OpenAI's ChatGPT, marking the final major hurdle before formal adoption. Brussels has sprinted to pass the new law since OpenAI's Microsoft-backed ChatGPT arrived on the scene in late 2022, unleashing a new global AI race. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Microsoft_Scrambles_To_Block Copilot_From_Creating_Nightmarish_Images⠀⇛ Microsoft has tightened its safeguards for Copilot's image-generation AI after a staff engineer's report to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding potential risks of harmful content generation. # ⚓ Krebs On Security ☛ Patch_Tuesday,_March_2024_Edition⠀⇛ Apple and Microsoft recently released software updates to fix dozens of security holes in their operating systems. Microsoft today patched at least 60 vulnerabilities in its Windows OS. Meanwhile, Apple’s new macOS Sonoma addresses at least 68 security weaknesses, and its latest update for iOS fixes two zero-day flaws. # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ Amazon's_Hidden_Chatbot_Recommends_Nazi_Books and_Lies_About_Amazon_Working_Conditions⠀⇛ An Amazon chatbot that’s supposed to surface useful information from customer reviews of specific products will also recommend a variety of racist books, lie about working conditions at Amazon, and write a cover letter for a job application with entirely made up work experience when asked, 404 Media has found. # ⚓ New Statesman ☛ Why_men_shouldn’t_control_artificial intelligence⠀⇛ Few experts today believe that AI should be shut down entirely (or that it even can be). Most understand that AI comes with certain risks, particularly around privacy violations, creation of biased decision-making systems, mass surveillance and other forms of social control. # ⚓ El País ☛ Marc_Serramià:_‘If_we_all_trust_tools_like ChatGPT,_human_knowledge_will_disappear’⠀⇛ Q. What dangers are we talking about? A. There are many. One of them, on which I focus part of my research, is privacy. Even if we anonymize data, it is always possible to reverse engineer and infer things about you that are used for personalized advertising, to decide whether you are granted a bank loan or not, or for a potential employer to judge whether you are the profile they are looking for. This is what our work suggests: since we use algorithms to study you, why not use them for good things too, like learning your privacy preferences? In other words, if I tell you that I don’t want you to share my location, don’t ask me again. What we have proposed is that AI can learn from the user and can act as a representative in this process and define their preferences by predicting them from the information it has about them. We made a very simple AI tool and yet our data shows that it was able to predict actual user preferences with good reliability. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ The_ways_AI_has_been_and_can_be_used_to_spill_your secrets⠀⇛ As AI continues its ascent to world domination — albeit with some high-profile Chatbot stumbles along the way — it hasn’t had the best reputation for being secure. It has even been caught in the middle of the U.S. trade war with China. From stolen trade secrets to broken guard rails, check out the slideshow above for some of the ways the emerging AI industry is struggling when it comes to keeping and spilling secrets. # ⚓ arXiv ☛ ArtPrompt:_ASCII_Art-based_Jailbreak_Attacks against_Aligned_LLMs⠀⇛ Safety is critical to the usage of large language models (LLMs). Multiple techniques such as data filtering and supervised fine-tuning have been developed to strengthen LLM safety. However, currently known techniques presume that corpora used for safety alignment of LLMs are solely interpreted by semantics. This assumption, however, does not hold in real-world applications, which leads to severe vulnerabilities in LLMs. For example, users of forums often use ASCII art, a form of text-based art, to convey image information. In this paper, we propose a novel ASCII art-based jailbreak attack and introduce a comprehensive benchmark Vision-in-Text Challenge (ViTC) to evaluate the capabilities of LLMs in recognizing prompts that cannot be solely interpreted by semantics. We show that five SOTA LLMs (GPT-3.5, GPT-4, Gemini, Claude, and Llama2) struggle to recognize prompts provided in the form of ASCII art. Based on this observation, we develop the jailbreak attack ArtPrompt, which leverages the poor performance of LLMs in recognizing ASCII art to bypass safety measures and elicit undesired behaviors from LLMs. ArtPrompt only requires black- box access to the victim LLMs, making it a practical attack. We evaluate ArtPrompt on five SOTA LLMs, and show that ArtPrompt can effectively and efficiently induce undesired behaviors from all five LLMs. # ⚓ [Repeat]Ubuntu ☛ Large_Language_Models_(LLMs)_Retrieval Augmented_Generation_(RAG)_using_Charmed_OpenSearch⠀⇛ Large Language Models (LLMs) fall under the category of Generative AI (GenAI), an artificial intelligence type that produces content based on user-defined context. These models undergo training using an extensive dataset composed of trillions of combinations of words from natural language, enabling them to empower interactive and conversational applications across various scenarios. Renowned LLMs like GPT, BERT, PaLM, and LLaMa can experience performance improvements by gaining access to additional structured and unstructured data. This additional data may include public or internal documents, websites, and various text forms and content. This methodology, termed retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), ensures that your conversational application generates accurate results with contextual relevance and domain- specific knowledge, even in areas where the pertinent facts were not part of the initial training dataset. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ How_executive_leaders_can_manage_the impacts_of_the_US_executive_order_on_AI⠀⇛ The EO sets forth new mandates, directives and guidance to ensure that developers and users of AI, including gen AI, proactively weigh AI value against AI harms to certain rights throughout the AI lifecycle. Consequently, the EO expands and repositions the risks of loss associated with responsible AI failures, which will affect current and future AI investments and the projected corresponding return on investment. With this in mind, public and private sector executive leaders should adjust leadership priorities, reconcile AI investment with redistributed risks of loss, and prepare today for a more regulated tomorrow. # ⚓ Trail of Bits ☛ DARPA_awards_$1_million_to_Trail_of_Bits for_AI_Cyber_Challenge⠀⇛ As we move beyond the initial phase of the competition, we’re eager to offer a sneak peek into the driving forces behind our approach, without spilling all of our secrets, of course. In a field where competitors often hold their cards close to their chests, we at Trail of Bits believe in the value of openness and sharing. Our motivation stems from more than just the desire to compete; it’s about contributing to a broader understanding and development within the cybersecurity community. While we navigate through this challenge with an eye on victory, our aim is also to foster a culture of transparency and collaboration, aligning with our deep-rooted open-source ethos. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Singapore’s_central_bank_says_AI_isn't ready_for_policy_work⠀⇛ "The flexibility of this class of models is also a drawback: AI/ML models can be 'fragile' in that their output is often highly sensitive to the choice of model parameters or prompts provided," Edwards observed. Combined with opacity of output, "this flaw makes it difficult to parse the underlying drivers of the process being modelled." # ⚓ Wired ☛ Why_Elon_Musk_Had_to_Open_Source_Grok,_His_Answer to_ChatGPT⠀⇛ Open sourcing Grok could help Musk drum up interest in his company’s AI. Limiting Grok access to only paid subscribers of X, one of the smaller global social platforms, means that it does not yet have the traction of OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini. Releasing Grok could draw developers to use and build upon the model, and may ultimately help it reach more end users. That could provide xAI with data it can use to improve its technology. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Report:_Automakers_might_be_secretly selling_your_driving_data_to_insurance_companies⠀⇛ Car companies have been selling their customers’ detailed driving behavior data to third-party brokers, possibly affecting the owners’ insurance premiums, according to a New York Times exposé published today that asks serious questions about privacy within the internet of things. # ⚓ EFF ☛ Reject_Nevada’s_Attack_on_Encrypted_Messaging, EFF_Tells_Court⠀⇛ The brief by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the ACLU of Nevada, the EFF, Stanford Internet Observatory Research Scholar Riana Pfefferkorn, and six other organizations asks the court to reject a request by Nevada’s attorney general to stop Meta from offering end-to-end encryption by default to Facebook Messenger users under 18 in the state. The brief was also signed by Access Now, Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT), Fight for the Future, Internet Society, Mozilla, and Signal Messenger LLC. Communications are safer when third parties can’t listen in on them. That’s why the EFF and others who care about privacy pushed Meta for years to make end-to-end encryption the default option in Messenger. Meta finally made the change, but Nevada wants to turn back the clock. As the brief notes, end-to- end encryption “means that even if someone intercepts the messages—whether they are a criminal, a domestic abuser, a foreign despot, or law enforcement—they will not be able to decipher or access the message.” The state of Nevada, however, bizarrely argues that young people would be better off without this protection. “Encryption is the best tool we have for safeguarding our privacy and security online — and privacy and security are especially important for young people,” said EFF Surveillance Litigation Director Andrew Crocker. “Nevada’s argument that children need to be ‘protected’ from securely communicating isn’t just baffling; it’s dangerous.” # ⚓ ACLU ☛ How_to_Protect_Consumer_Privacy_and_Free Speech⠀⇛ Technology is a necessity of modern life. People of all ages rely on it for everything from accessing information and connecting with others, to paying for goods, using transportation, getting work done, and speaking out about issues of the day. Without adequate privacy protections, technology can be co-opted to surveil us online and intrude on our private lives–not only by the government, but also by businesses–with grave consequences for our rights. # ⚓ Wired ☛ US_Lawmaker_Cited_NYC_Protests_in_a_Defense of_Warrantless_Spying⠀⇛ House lawmakers were expected to cast votes the following day to determine which of two rival bills would become law. While both aimed to reauthorize the 702 program, they shared little else in common. The first bill was backed by Turner and Jim Himes—HPSCI's leading Democrat—and had the support of the US intelligence community. The second, a bill chock full of privacy reforms, had been introduced by the House Judiciary Committee and was opposed by the Biden White House. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Dating_Apps_Have_Hit_a_Wall._Can They_Turn_Things_Around?⠀⇛ Both companies have recently brought on leaders who have vowed to experiment with new features, hoping to capture the growth investors crave. But they face one critical obstacle: Not enough young people are willing to pay for subscriptions to dating apps — partly because younger daters are increasingly looking to platforms like Snapchat and TikTok to make connections — and it’s not clear what will change that. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Cars_now_tell_insurance_companies_what drivers_do_wrong⠀⇛ A chilling new report from the New York Times brings into focus what we in the automotive press has been saying for years and years: the mountains of data your car generates is unsecured, and it is being used without your knowledge or consent. We’re likely all aware of the little dongle that insurance companies offer to drivers in the hopes that a babysat driver with cash on the line will behave like a safe driver. The only problem? People hate being watched, especially in their cars where there is supposed to be some semblance of privacy. It turns out, some automakers are skipping the whole “consent” business and allowing insurance companies to take a look at mountains of driving data without owner’s knowledge. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Automakers_Are_Sharing_Consumers’ Driving_Behavior_With_Insurance_Companies⠀⇛ What it contained stunned him: more than 130 pages detailing each time he or his wife had driven the Bolt over the previous six months. It included the dates of 640 trips, their start and end times, the distance driven and an accounting of any speeding, hard braking or sharp accelerations. The only thing it didn’t have is where they had driven the car. On a Thursday morning in June for example, the car had been driven 7.33 miles in 18 minutes; there had been two rapid accelerations and two incidents of hard braking. # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Your_car_spies_on_you_and_rats_you_out to_insurance_companies_(12_Mar_2024)⠀⇛ This is true whether you own or lease the car, and it's separate from the "black box" your insurer might have offered to you in exchange for a discount on your premiums. In other words, even if you say no to the insurer's carrot – a surveillance-based discount – they've got a stick in reserve: buying your nonconsensually harvested data on the open market. # ⚓ El País ☛ Airbnb_is_banning_the_use_of_indoor security_cameras_in_the_platform’s_listings_worldwide⠀⇛ Airbnb said Monday that it’s banning the use of indoor security cameras in listings on its site around the world by the end of next month. The San Francisco-based online rental platform said it is seeking to “simplify” its security-camera policy while prioritizing privacy. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Roku_hackers_breach_15,000_accounts_and are_selling_them_online⠀⇛ One saving grace is that the Roku accounts didn’t reveal social security numbers, full payment account numbers, or dates of birth. Roku says it has since “secured the accounts from further unauthorized access” by asking affected users to reset their passwords. It’s also working to cancel and refund unauthorized purchases. Even if you weren’t affected by this data breach, it still might be worth checking HaveIBeenPwned to see if any of your credentials have been exposed recently. It also couldn’t hurt to change your Roku password. # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ TikTok_Is_Allegedly_Working_on_a_New_Photo App_and_Its_Icon_Looks_Awfully_Familiar⠀⇛ The developer AssembleDebug, who has been right in the past, recently spotted code indicating that TikTok was working on a new photo-sharing app called “TikTok Photos.” The code included language that TikTok Photos would be launched soon and implied that creators would be able to sync the photos they upload on TikTok to the new app automatically. # ⚓ YLE ☛ Finland_detects_more_GPS_jammers_as_drivers increasingly_try_to_hide_their_tracks⠀⇛ Authorities have found people using the jammers in company cars tracked by their employers. Lorry drivers also sometimes try to disrupt tachographs tracking where and when they are driving. According to Juurakko-Lehikoinen, when a jammer is found turned on in company cars, for example, Traficom has contacted the firms that own the vehicles. # ⚓ India Times ☛ eu_commission_microsoft_privacy_rules: EU_Commission's_use_of_Microsoft_software_breached privacy_rules:_watchdog⠀⇛ The European Commission's use of Microsoft software breached EU privacy rules and the bloc's executive also failed to implement adequate safeguards for personal data transferred to non-EU countries, the EU privacy watchdog said on Monday. The European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS) ordered the Commission to take measures to comply with privacy rules and to halt data transfer to the US company and subsidiaries located in third countries that do not have privacy deals with the EU, setting a deadline of December 9 for both orders. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Airbnb_Bans_All_Indoor_Security_Cameras⠀⇛ As of April 30, hosts around the world must remove indoor cameras and disclose other outdoor monitoring tech to guests before they book. Airbnb previously allowed hosts to install security cameras in common areas of a home, like hallways and living rooms. But it also required hosts to disclose them, make them clearly visible, and keep the cameras out of places like sleeping areas and bathrooms. Still, the cameras have been an issue. Guests have reported encountering hidden cameras in their short-term rentals. For hosts, the cameras can be a way to discourage guests from throwing large parties or to stop the gatherings before they become too disruptive. It’s a big enough concern that several companies have started making noise monitoring tech, billing themselves as solutions to protect short-term rentals. # ⚓ NPR ☛ Airbnb_bans_all_indoor_security_cameras⠀⇛ While the majority of its listings — more than 7 million worldwide at the end of last year — don't report having indoor security cameras, Airbnb said the policy change was made in an effort to prioritize the privacy of guests. Previously, the company allowed indoor security cameras in common areas, as long as they were disclosed on the listing page before booking and clearly visible to guests. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Former_Kazakh_Minister_Pleads_Not_Guilty_Of_Beating Wife_To_Death⠀⇛ A former Kazakh minister who was arrested in November on charges of killing and torturing his wife pleaded not guilty to all charges as the preliminary hearings into the high-profile case kicked off on March 11. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Tuesday_Briefing:_U.S._Moves_to_Crack_Down on_TikTok⠀⇛ Also, uproar about a retouched royal photo and an Oscars recap. # ⚓ RFA ☛ US_intelligence:_Beijing_may_try_to_influence_2024 election⠀⇛ China allegedly used Hey Hi (AI) to generate political content on Fentanylware (TikTok) during America’s 2022 midterm elections. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ “Haiti_Needs_Peace”:_PM_Ariel_Henry Announces_He_Will_Resign,_Transitional_Council_to_Take Charge⠀⇛ Unelected Prime Minister Ariel Henry has announced he plans to resign amid rising opposition in Haiti, where a coalition of armed groups opposing the de facto leader have declared an uprising, led mass jailbreaks and taken over the country’s airport. At an emergency meeting with international actors in Jamaica, the regional bloc CARICOM has reportedly proposed a plan to set up a seven-member presidential panel that would appoint a new interim prime minister. Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley said the panel would only include Haitians who support the deployment of a U.N.-backed security force, a policy supported by Henry, while large swaths of Haitians voiced opposition to another hand-selected leader. “I’m not sure this solves the problem that’s been going on in Haiti,” says Haitian American scholar Jemima Pierre, who explains why Henry’s resignation and transition announcement attempts to “put a veneer of legality on this situation,” while the country continues to operate under occupation by foreign interests. “There’s going to be more flare-ups in the next few months … if we don’t stop this problem by its root, which is the constant U.S. imposition of its terms on Haitian people and the denial of Haitian sovereignty.” # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ FCC_Commissioner_Declares_TikTok_a ‘Clear_and_Present_Danger’⠀⇛ The FCC commissioner calls TikTok a “clear and present danger” and a “serious threat” to US national security, ahead of the critical congressional vote on legislation which could lead to a TikTok ban. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) commissioner Brendan Carr said in a recent interview that TikTok “presents a clear and present danger to US national security” in a categorically different way than any other social media company. # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ TikTok_and_the_Fall_of_the_Social-Media Giants⠀⇛ The effectiveness of the TikTok experience is found in what it doesn’t require. Unlike Twitter, TikTok doesn’t need a critical mass of famous or influential people to use it for its content to prove engaging. The short-video format grabs the user’s attention at a more primal level, relying on visual novelty, or a clever interplay of music and action, or direct emotional expression, to generate its appeal. And, unlike Facebook, TikTok doesn’t require that your friends already use the service for you to find it useful. Though there are some social features built into TikTok, they’re not the main draw of the app. TikTok also doesn’t rely on its users to manually share content with friends or followers to surface compelling offerings. It assigns this responsibility to its scary-good recommendation algorithm. A 2021 investigation by the Wall Street Journal, in which reporters created more than a hundred TikTok accounts to tease out the basic dynamics of this suggestion logic, showed that the app can target a user’s interests with uncanny accuracy in as little as forty minutes of observation. # ⚓ India Times ☛ tiktok_china_influence_us_elections:_China could_use_social_media_app_TikTok_to_influence_the_2024 elections:_US_spy_chief⠀⇛ China could use social media app TikTok to influence the 2024 US elections, US Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines told a House of Representatives intelligence committee hearing on Tuesday. Asked by Democratic Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi if China's ruling Communist Party (CCP) would use TikTok to influence the elections, Haines said: "We cannot rule out that the CCP would use it." # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ Could_a_TikTok_ban_actually_happen?⠀⇛ If the bill ends up passing, its provisions would set a clear domestic precedent: Other foreign-run platforms could be subject to similar actions. Ruane is concerned about what such a ban would mean abroad too. Already, American-owned digital platforms have been blocked in other countries, including China, and a TikTok ban could give authoritarian regimes the license to ban others for “pretextual” reasons. The potential fallout, she told me, could further limit users’ access to information and freedom of expression across the world. # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ TikTok_Finds_a_New_Defender:_Elon_Musk⠀⇛ However, Musk and the Kentucky Congressman are confused about the bill, according to Federal Communications Commission member, Brendan Carr. Replying to Musk’s tweet, he says the proposed law only applies to apps based in China, North Korea, Iran, or Russia which demonstrate a significant threat to national security. This appears to be a change in tone from Musk. Just months ago, he was critical of TikTok, saying the app is full of antisemitic content, and noting how it’s addicting teenagers. However, he rejected the idea that TikTok is controlled by the Chinese government. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ House_Republicans_to_vote_on_TikTok_ban despite_Trump_opposition⠀⇛ House Republicans are moving ahead with a bill that would require Chinese company ByteDance to sell TikTok or face a ban in the United States even as former President Donald Trump is voicing opposition to the effort. House leadership has scheduled a vote on the measure for March 13. A Republican congressional aide not authorized to speak publicly said that’s still the plan and there has not been significant pushback to the bill from lawmakers. # ⚓ Axios ☛ Congress_is_cracking_down_on_TikTok_because_CFIUS hasn't⠀⇛ Zoom in: CFIUS got initial authority on this matter because TikTok is the result of a 2017 deal whereby China's ByteDance bought a startup called Musical.ly, which had significant U.S. operations. • CFIUS has been investigating that deal since at least 2020, when former President Trump unsuccessfully tried to force a TikTok divestiture via executive order. • This includes negotiations that resulted in Oracle securing all of TikTok's U.S. user data and vetting its algorithms and content moderation models, via what Oracle calls Project Texas, but CFIUS never signed off on a final agreement. # ⚓ Axios ☛ TikTok_ban,_explained:_Congress'_yearslong_case against_ByteDance⠀⇛ A years-long battle over TikTok's fate in the U.S. is escalating this week, as the popular video- sharing platform campaigns against the threat of a ban. State of play: Following threats from the Trump and Biden administrations, Congress is advancing federal legislation to force China's ByteDance to sell its stake in the U.S. version of TikTok or ban the platform from U.S. app stores. Here's a timeline of how we got here. # ⚓ The Hill ☛ House_to_hold_TikTok_briefing_with_intel officials_ahead_of_vote_on_potential_ban⠀⇛ Intelligence officials from the FBI, Department of Justice and Office of the Director of National Intelligence will brief House lawmakers about TikTok on Tuesday, a Republican aide told The Hill. The 1 p.m. briefing comes ahead of an impending floor vote this week on a bill that could ban TikTok, the popular social media app owned by China-based ByteDance. # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ Will_Congress_Ban_TikTok_in_the_U.S.? Here's_What_to_Know⠀⇛ The bill is not only expected to pass the House of Representatives, the Biden administration supports it. The president said last week he’ll sign it if it makes it to his desk, and the Justice Department will brief lawmakers this week about the how China — through the Chinese company ByteDance, which owns TikTok — may be using the app to influence U.S. elections. A Biden administration spokesperson suggested to Rolling Stone that foreign powers can use the app to influence “Americans’ views and beliefs.” # ⚓ El País ☛ The_metamorphosis_of_jihadism_in_Spain⠀⇛ Spain has changed in the last two decades. So has the jihadist threat. Ever since 10 backpack bombs exploded on four Madrid commuter trains on March 11, 2004, killing 192 people and wounding nearly 2,000, security forces have carried out more than 400 operations against Islamist terrorism and arrested 1,049 suspected jihadists. The last arrest took place last Wednesday in Melilla, an exclave city on the northern coast of Africa. But the background of the detainees has been evolving over the years. Seven factors explain the changes. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Your_Kid_May_Already_Be_Watching_AI-Generated Videos_on_YouTube⠀⇛ There’s a whole new way to get rich on the internet—at least according to a rush of YouTube tutorials touting the money to be made using AI to generate videos for kids. Searching for how to create kids content or channels on YouTube now pulls up tutorials offering roadmaps for creating simple animations in just a few hours. They advocate use of tools like ChatGPT, voice synthesis services ElevenLabs and Murf AI, and the generative AI features within Adobe Express to automate scripting as well as audio and video production. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Donald_Trump_calls_Facebook_'enemy_of_the_people' while_buying_ads_on_it⠀⇛ Trump is still spending plenty of money on Facebook ads, according to Facebook’s Ad Library, an online tool that allows anyone to see how political ads are being shown on the platform. Facebook launched the Ad Library in 2019 after the site received criticism about a lack of transparency on how political campaigns were trying to influence voters online. # ⚓ Deccan Chronicle ☛ United_Christian_Forum_Urges_Governor Intervention_Amid_Rising_Concerns_Over_Targeting_of Christians_in_Assam⠀⇛ In the memorandum, the United Christian Forum Golaghat outlined several distressing incidents, including demands by certain groups to delist tribal Christians from the Scheduled Tribes list, threats issued to Christian schools to remove religious symbols and even eviction of a nun from a bus. Stressing the need of an urgent intervention of the government, the UCF president Jidan Aind and secretary Leander Toppo, said that Assam Healing (Prevention of Evil) Practices Bill, 2024, raised apprehensions among Christians, fearing potential misinterpretation and misuse to target their religious practices. # ⚓ El País ☛ India_announces_steps_to_implement_a_citizenship law_that_excludes_Muslims⠀⇛ The Citizenship Amendment Act provides a fast track to naturalization for Hindus, Parsis, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and Christians who fled to Hindu- majority India from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan before Dec. 31, 2014. The law excludes Muslims, who are a majority in all three nations. The law was approved by Indian Parliament in 2019, but Modi’s government had held off with its implementation after deadly protests broke out in capital New Delhi and elsewhere. Scores were killed during days of clashes. # ⚓ NPR ☛ India_announces_steps_to_implement_a_citizenship_law that_excludes_Muslims⠀⇛ The law was approved by Indian Parliament in 2019, but Modi's government had held off with its implementation after deadly protests broke out in capital New Delhi and elsewhere.

Muslims are pointedly excluded. With a characteristic thunderclap, the government of India’s prime minister, Narendra Modi, made a short declaration on Monday night that it had finalized the details that would bring the law, known as the Citizenship Amendment Act, into force. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ India’s_new_citizenship_law_discriminates against_Muslims⠀⇛ The Citizenship Amendment Act provides a fast track to naturalization for Hindus, Parsis, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, and Christians who fled to Hindu- majority India from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan before Dec. 31, 2014. The law excludes Muslims, who are a majority in all three nations. It also amends the old law, which prevents illegal migrants from becoming Indian citizens, and marks the first time that India – an officially secular state with a religiously diverse population – has set religious criteria for citizenship. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Intelligence_officials_warn_pace_of innovation_in_AI_threatens_US⠀⇛ Speaking Monday before the Senate Intelligence Committee, FBI Director Christopher Wray told the committee that the bureau is increasingly concerned that AI models might be stolen and that U.S. law enforcement agencies are stepping up their efforts to secure the U.S. AI industry. Just last week, authorities in California arrested a Chinese national and accused him of stealing AI-related material from Google, his former employer, and sharing it with companies in China. Wray warned that if Chinese security agencies were to get access to U.S. AI models, their already formidable hacking crews would only improve their capabilities. “If they steal our AI to power it, it makes words like ‘force multiplier’ sound like an understatement,” Wray said.

The statement read in part: 'John was in the midst of a deposition in his whistleblower retaliation case, which finally was nearing the end. He was in very good spirits and really looking forward to putting this phase of his life behind him and moving on. We didn't see any indication he would take his own life. No one can believe it. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Boeing_Whistleblower_Who_Raised_Quality Concerns_Is_Found_Dead⠀⇛ A prominent Boeing whistle-blower, a former quality manager who raised concerns about manufacturing practices at the company’s 787 Dreamliner factory in South Carolina, was found dead on Saturday with what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to local officials. The whistle-blower, John Barnett, was in Charleston for a deposition for a lawsuit in which he accused Boeing of retaliating against him for making complaints about quality and safety. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Boeing_Whistleblower’s_Attorneys_Say_They "Didn’t_See_Any_Indication"_of_Suicide_Risk⠀⇛ Knowles and his co-counsel, Rob Turkewitz, were unable to reach Barnett by phone and thus contacted the hotel he was staying at — which was when the retired Boeing worker's body was found in his car. In an initial autopsy report, as local and national news indicates, the Charleston County Coronoer's Office said that the 32-year Boeing employee appeared to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound — but his lawyers, Knowles and Tukewitz, are urging investigators to take a closer look. "John was in the midst of a deposition in his whistleblower retaliation case, which finally was nearing the end," the attorneys told Futurism in an emailed statement. "He was in very good spirits and really looking forward to putting this phase of his life behind him and moving on." # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Boeing_whistleblower_John_Barnett_dies_from_self- inflicted_gunshot⠀⇛ Gizmodo asked the coroner’s office if an autopsy had been performed on Barnett. While the office didn’t answer that question, it did share the following statement about his death: [...] # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Boeing_whistleblower's_attorneys_want_more_answers about_John_Barnett's_death⠀⇛ Barnett’s death spurred conspiracy theories across the web and now his attorneys are claiming they’re unsatisfied with the information that has been put out about his death. Robert Turkewitz of the Law Office of Robert M. Turkewitz, LLC and Brian Knowles of Knowles Law Firm, PC, provided Gizmodo with a statement about Barnett’s death. The statement reads, in full: [...] o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Idiomdrottning ☛ Wishing_and_hoping⠀⇛ An example I’m even more concerned about is climate change; they can come up with practical ways to blast their CO2e fumes where we can only sit around in our degrown li’l green communities and wish that they didn’t blast as much over there because it’s killing all of us. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Scientists_Just_Got_Closer_to_Creating Artificial_Life_in_the_Lab⠀⇛ As part of their research, WaPo reports, they created a lab-made RNA molecule that accurately copied others and resulted in a functioning enzyme. Now that the institute has done that, it's poised to study the earliest evolutionary stages of life in unprecedented ways. Gerald Joyce, the president of Salk who co-authored a new paper about the research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, told WaPo that although the researchers' lab-made molecule isn't yet self-replicating, the one they did create is a huge step to creating life in the lab. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ CEO_Dies_When_Her_Tesla_Drives_Into_a Pond⠀⇛ Almost immediately upon making that ill-fated miscalculation, Chao called her friends who were just steps away, asking them if they could help her as her car began swiftly to sink. One jumped into the pond to try to save her friend. Ultimately, despite calling paramedics and other emergency officials, it took hours to get the car, with the CEO in it, out of the pond. According to experts, you have roughly 30-60 seconds to safely get out of a car when it starts sinking. With automatic windows like those used by Tesla and most other vehicle manufacturers, there are only a few seconds to push the button and roll down the windows before the water gets too high. After that, the only way to get out is to break the glass — and because Tesla uses laminated glass, one of the most durable types on the market, breaking it under the pressure of water would have been nearly impossible. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Should_I_keep_my_laptop_plugged_in?⠀⇛ The optimal state for your battery, according to Griffith, is somewhere between 20% and 80%. He recommends charging your laptop fully and then unplugging it to run down throughout the day. You should let your battery sit in this “mid-range” zone for most of its life to prolong your battery’s performance. # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Lib_Dem_Leader_Ed_Davey_Gifted_£2,500_Gala Ticket_by_Fossil_Fuel_Firm⠀⇛ Ed Davey, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, accepted a donation worth £2,500 from Viaro Energy, which drills for oil and gas in the North Sea, parliamentary records reveal. The donation took the form of a seat at Viaro’s table at the exclusive London’s Air Ambulance Charity gala on February 7th. # § Overpopulation⠀➾ # ⚓ NDTV ☛ Bengaluru_Water_Crisis:_Bengaluru_Residents, Hospitals_Cry_For_Help_As_Water_Reserves_Dwindle⠀⇛ Bengaluru primarily gets its water supply from two sources - Cauvery river and groundwater. For most non-drinking uses, recycled water processed by sewage treatment plants is used. With no rain for a while now, the primary sources have been stretched to their limits. Bengaluru needs 2,600-2,800 million litres of water daily, and the current supply is half of what's required. The result is a daily struggle for the city's residents. # ⚓ Deccan Chronicle ☛ Drinking_Water_Scarcity_Across North_Telangana_Districts,_Contaminated_Water_in_Taps⠀⇛ Habitations in rural and urban local body limits have started facing the water shortage. Villages in remote and interior areas are facing an acute shortage. Lack of coordination between Mission Bhagiratha officials and other departments worsened the situation in undivided Adilabad, Karimnagar and Nizamabad districts. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ University of Michigan ☛ The_Daily_Weekly:_The_Ann_Arbor Housing_Crisis⠀⇛ In this episode of The Daily Weekly, we explore the housing crisis in Ann Arbor – why rent is so expensive, and why students scramble to secure housing.

But many are wondering what’s driving these deep cuts after video game revenue hit another record in 2023. # ⚓ Fandom Inc ☛ Video_Game_Industry_Layoffs_Are_Worse_Than Ever._How_Did_We_Get_Here?⠀⇛ On February 27, Sony announced it would lay off 900 people across its worldwide games business, affecting several games studios. Among them were Naughty Dog and Insomniac Games, both of which had just released big, noteworthy titles--Marvel's Spider-Man 2 launched in October to audience and critical acclaim, while The Last of Us Part II Remastered dropped in January with an updated version that included new content. The Sony layoffs constituted some 8% of the people working in its games division. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ FAIR ☛ WSJ_Speaks_Out_Against_Threat_of_Politicians Responding_to_Voters⠀⇛ The Wall Street Journal (2/26/24) is concerned that they live among us. They are Arab Americans. And what are they doing to threaten the United States? Voting. # ⚓ Hindustan Times ☛ Donald_Trump_offered_to_sell_Truth_Social to_Elon_Musk:_‘Talks_failed_but…’_-_Hindustan_Times⠀⇛ Former US president Donald Trump once offered to sell Truth Social to Elon Musk, The Washington Post reported. The offer was made by Donald Trump last summer, the report claimed citing two unnamed sources. At that time, Elon Musk was still running social media platform Twitter, which has since been renamed X, after taking over in late 2022. The report claimed that Elon Musk and Donald Trump have been in contact about the same “more than was previously known” and the former US president has told confidants that Elon Musk should buy Truth Social despite talks which failed. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Google_Paid_Out_$10_Million_via_Bug_Bounty Programs_in_2023⠀⇛ In the case of Chrome, Google paid out roughly $2.1 million in bug bounties for 359 vulnerability reports in 2023. # ⚓ Bert Hubert ☛ On_the_new_Dutch_Intelligence_and_Security Law⠀⇛ Today, the upper house of Dutch parliament passed a law to reduce (I think) the oversight on the Dutch intelligence and security services, while simultaneously granting them more leeway to execute their powers. In 2022, I resigned as regulator of the Dutch intelligence and security services because of this attempt. Politico.eu wrote a comprehensive article about it, representing various points of view. In this page I will try to explain how the new law works and what these changes mean. I also provide some context from the European Court of Human Rights. This page refers to the just passed version of the proposed legislation. # ⚓ Modus Create LLC ☛ Software_Identifiers_through_the_eyes_of Nix⠀⇛ This is an answer to a recent request for comments issued by CISA, the United States “Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency”, about software identifiers. Unfortunately I wasn’t aware of this request for comments early enough and thus too late to comment officially. But CISA encouraged me to publish the answer as a separate blog post. The Guix team similarly published their own answer # ⚓ Reason ☛ FIRE_Highlights_Hypocritical_Officials_Who_Decry Government_Social_Media_Meddling⠀⇛ Next Monday the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in Murthy v. Missouri, which poses the question of whether federal officials violated the First Amendment when they persistently pressured social media platforms to curtail "misinformation." That is what the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit concluded last September, and the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) is urging the justices to affirm that decision. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ The_Reddit_IPO_is_worth_millions_for_OpenAI_SEO Sam_Altman⠀⇛ At that share price, Altman’s stake in Reddit could be worth between $51.4 million and $56.4 million, according to a Business Insider estimate that calculated Altman owns about 1.66 million shares of the company. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ AMD_tried_to_stop_Intel_from_selling_chips_to Huawei,_report_says⠀⇛ Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) tried to stop Intel from selling advanced chips to Shenzhen-based Huawei, Reuters reported, arguing that Intel’s license to do so was unfair because it does not have a similar license. It was joined in its efforts by other skeptics of doing business with the Chinese tech company, according to Reuters. Intel’s license was issued by former U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration in September 2020, after Huawei was put on a trade blacklist the previous year with more than 275 other Chinese firms. American companies are banned from selling to companies on the list without special permission. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Apple:_Apple_to_let_developers_distribute apps_directly_from_their_sites⠀⇛ Software developers who use Apple's App Store will be able to distribute apps to EU users directly from their websites this spring, the company said on Tuesday, as part of changes required by new EU rules forcing Apple to open up its closed eco- system. The European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which kicked in last week, requires Apple to offer alternative app stores on iPhones and to allow developers to opt out of using its in-app payment system, which charges fees of up to 30%. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Twitter_bans_over_5_lakh_accounts_in_India, here's_whyIndia⠀⇛ This is not a new practice for X to ban accounts for violating the policy. Between December 26 and January 25, the platform banned around 2,31, 215 accounts in India. In the same period, the company banned 1,945 accounts for promoting terrorism on its platform. # ⚓ Earthly ☛ Earthly_Achieves_SOC_2_Type_2_Compliance⠀⇛ We take security very seriously here at Earthly. As a user, you shouldn’t have to worry about a SaaS vendor being sloppy with your business’ data. We have an information security program that has been in place and communicated throughout our organization for quite some time now, and we achieved SOC 2 Type 1 compliance in April 2023 (Read our SOC 2 Type 1 announcement). This announcement is quite late, but we are still excited to announce that Earthly achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance on October 26, 2023. # ⚓ Craig Murray ☛ The_Panic_Of_the_Ruling_Class⠀⇛ I have known George Galloway my entire adult life, although we largely lost touch in the middle bit while I was off diplomating. I know George too well to mistake him for Jesus Christ, but he has been on the right side against appalling wars which the entire political class has cheer-led. His natural gifts of mellifluence and loquacity are unsurpassed, with an added talent for punchy phrase making. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ India Times ☛ Google_Gemini:_Google_ties_up_with Election_Commission_to_tackle_misinformation_during polls⠀⇛ Google has joined hands with the Election Commission of India (ECI) to offer poll- related information on Google search and YouTube, in a bid to prevent spread of misinformation during electioneering. Google already verifies political advertisers through ECI-provided certificates and carries in-ad disclaimers to clearly show who paid for the advertisements, the company said in a blogpost on Tuesday. # ⚓ Hindustan Times ☛ Google_restricts_AI_chatbot_Gemini from_responding_to_election-related_queries⠀⇛ Google is limiting AI chatbot Gemini's ability to answer queries regarding the elections scheduled to take place this year in several countries, including presidential elections in the United States. The decision has been taken in a bid to minimise potential blunders in technology deployment, stated the Alphabet-owned company on Tuesday. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Tor ☛ Hiding_in_plain_sight:_Introducing_WebTunnel⠀⇛ Today, March 12th, on the World Day Against Cyber Censorship, the Tor Project's Anti-Censorship Team is excited to officially announce the release of WebTunnel, a new type of Tor bridge designed to assist users in heavily censored regions to connect to the Tor network. Available now in the stable version of Tor Browser, WebTunnel joined our collection of censorship circumvention tech developed and maintained by The Tor Project.  The development of different types of bridges are crucial for making Tor more resilient against censorship and stay ahead of adversaries in the highly dynamic and ever-changing censorship landscape. This is especially true as we're going through the 2024 global election megacycle, the role of censorship circumvention tech becomes crucial in defending Internet Freedom. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ How_Meduza_is_preparing_for_full_Internet censorship_in_Russia⠀⇛ Over the past few months, the Russian authorities have been testing out new methods of “filtering” and restricting Internet access in Russia. Russian Telegram and WhatsApp users have been reporting outages, and there’s an ongoing crackdown on VPN services. During Alexey Navalny’s funeral, law enforcement resorted to its crudest method: turning off high-speed mobile data. Hackers have also been targeting independent media outlets and activists ever since Navalny’s murder. Meduza is currently facing the most intense cyberattack campaign in its history. This all looks very alarming. But we fear the Russian authorities might go even further and fully censor the Internet if they decide it’s safer for them. At the very least, this could happen around the elections or immediately afterwards. We have to be prepared for this eventuality. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ AP:_Pakistan_judge_sentences_22_year_old_to_death and_teenager_to_life_imprisonment_under_blasphemy_laws⠀⇛ Chapter XV of the Penal Code concerning offenses relating to religion provides that “whoever by words, either spoken or written … defiles the sacred name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad shall be punished with death, or imprisonment for life.” The code also criminalizes defiling the Qur’an, “uttering words with deliberate intent to wound religious feelings,” and disturbing religious assembly. Blasphemy accusations in Pakistan are serious matters that can spark unrest. In August 2023, after attacks on Christian communities, Rehab Mahamoor at Amnesty International (AI) wrote, “Vicious mob attacks are just the latest manifestation of the threat of vigilante violence which anyone can face in Pakistan after a blasphemy accusation – with religious minorities disproportionately vulnerable.” AI urged Pakistan to repeal these laws and stated that they violate human rights to freedom of thought, conscience, religion and freedom of expression under Articles 18 and 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). # ⚓ Luke Harris ☛ My_site_was_blocked_by_ATT⠀⇛ My site was falsely flagged as malware, and every time I would try to visit my site I’d get a helpful “blocked URL” notification from the Smart Home Manager app on my phone. Tapping the notification would bring me to a view with a button to allow the site, but allowing the site over seven times had no effect. ‘Smart’ indeed. There’s no straightforward way to have ATT remove a URL from their global blocklist. Searching the ATT forums, I saw someone mentioned that their site was falsely flagged on VirusTotal. I ran a report on my domain and sure enough, it was flagged by two negligent antivirus vendors. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Meduza,_Russian-Language_News_Outlet,_Says_It_Faced Unprecedented_Attacks⠀⇛ Meduza said Russian authorities and Kremlin- affiliated organizations are increasingly blocking its mirror servers; launching distributed denial- of-service (DDoS) attacks to disable its website; attempting to disrupt its crowdfunding infrastructure; and hack into its journalists’ accounts using phishing and other techniques. # ⚓ [Old] New York Times ☛ Topics_Suppressed_in_China_Are Underrepresented_on_TikTok,_Study_Says⠀⇛ The findings could add to a wave of concern that Beijing may be influencing content on the popular video platform. TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company. The report, from the Network Contagion Research Institute at Rutgers University, analyzed the volume of posts with certain hashtags on TikTok and Instagram, which has hundreds of millions more users. # ⚓ [Old] Business Insider ☛ Internal_Guidelines_Show_TikTok Censors_Videos_That_Would_Anger_China⠀⇛ The documents, which provided guidelines for TikTok's moderators, broke infringing content into two categories: "violations" and "visible to self." Violations would result in the content being taken down, while videos marked "visible to self" would be viewable by the user who posted them but invisible to everyone else on the app. The specific policies addressing political issues considered likely to anger the Chinese government were embedded in sections designed to look more all-purpose, according to The Guardian. # ⚓ [Old] The Guardian UK ☛ Revealed:_how_TikTok_censors_videos that_do_not_please_Beijing⠀⇛ A more general purpose rule bans “highly controversial topics, such as separatism, religion sects conflicts, conflicts between ethnic groups, for instance exaggerating the Islamic sects conflicts, inciting the independence of Northern Ireland, Republic of Chechnya, Tibet and Taiwan and exaggerating the ethnic conflict between black and white”. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ Police_officers_rear-handcuffing_former_bianet reporter_fined_9,000_lira_payable_in_10_months⠀⇛ Verdict was reached in the trial where three police officers, K.A., N.D., and Y.Ş. are tried, who attempted to detain bianet reporter (between 2021- 2018) Beyza Kural with handcuffs while she was covering news in 2015. # ⚓ CPJ ☛ Ethiopian_journalist_Muhiyadin_Mohamed_Abdullahi faces_up_to_5_years_in_prison_on_false_news_charges⠀⇛ “Officials in Ethiopia’s Somali Regional State should stop wasting public resources on prosecuting a journalist whose only crime was criticizing political elites on Facebook,” said CPJ Africa Program Coordinator Muthoki Mumo. “Authorities should release Muhiyadin immediately and drop the criminal case against him. Ethiopian authorities must bring an end to the culture of locking journalists up whenever they don’t like what they are saying.” # ⚓ The Nation ☛ The_Death_and_Life_of_Great_American_Media⠀⇛ Because whatever its other rewards, journalism no longer offers anything like job security. With an average of 2.5 newspapers closing every week in 2023—up from two a week the previous year—the United States has lost one-third of its newspapers, and two-thirds of its newspaper journalists, since 2005. The result, according to Northwestern Medill’s “State of Local News 2023” report, is that more than 200 counties in the country are “news deserts,” places where the workings of local government, the excesses of local law enforcement, and the conduct of local businesses and national corporations face no media scrutiny, and therefore little public accountability at all. As John Nichols recently noted, some of these deserts have swallowed up major cities. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Online_grocery_shopping_here_to_stay,_Latvian stores_report⠀⇛ Several online grocery stores that opened amid severe restrictions during the Covid pandemic have closed. But that doesn't mean people only want to shop face-to-face after the pandemic. Polls show the opposite – food purchases on the internet are increasing, Latvian Television reported on March 9. # ⚓ teleSUR ☛ Finnish_Workers_Announce_Two_Weeks'_Strike⠀⇛ The reasons for the protest by the unions is a reform of the labour market and a series of cuts in social benefits that the unions consider unacceptable. The Finnish Government plans to limit the duration of political strikes to a single day and to facilitate the non-binding sectoral agreements for all companies, which would significantly reduce the bargaining power of trade unions. In addition, it plans to cut unemployment benefits, facilitate dismissal and temporality and allow the first day of sick leave to go unpaid. # ⚓ [Old] VOA News ☛ Chinese_State_Media_Boosts_‘Gen_Z Vloggers’_Whitewashing_Tibet_Repression⠀⇛ Thematically, the vloggers’ accounts as reported to CGTN mirrored Beijing’s talking points — mainly, that Tibet has developed greatly since China forcibly annexed it in 1951, and that there are no human rights violations in the region. # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ Unions_Can’t_Be_Rebuilt_Piecemeal._We Need_to_Go_Big.⠀⇛ In Loomis’s view, the CIO harnessed the disruptive power of the sit-down strike, a tactic that Loomis argues was difficult to pull off successfully and understood its perception by a public that believed in the mythology of private property. They profited from the investment of the communists, even though the communists’ contributions were mixed. And against those who say they should have helped found a labor party, Loomis argues that their investment in the Democratic Party paid off handsomely in neutralizing the typical business-government collaboration. Loomis concluded our interview by emphasizing the importance of going big. In many ways, our present moment is one of lowered political horizons, and it’s easy to retreat to small-scale, local, or personal projects. But the lesson of the CIO is that it’s necessary to harness the collective power of the working class on a grand scale. # ⚓ India Times ☛ eu_members_gig_workers_rights:_EU_members endorse_diluted_draft_rules_on_rights_for_gig_workers⠀⇛ Europe moved a step closer to giving so-called gig economy workers at online platforms such as Uber and Deliveroo greater social and labour rights on Monday, although companies said little would change under the watered-down rules. The draft rules, first proposed by the European Commission in 2021, are aimed at an estimated 28 million workers in the EU, whose numbers are forecast to rise to 43 million next year. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ Immigrants_Held_in_Private_Northwest Detention_Center_Report_Death,_Suicide_Attempts_Amid Crackdown⠀⇛ At one of the largest for-profit immigrant detention centers in the country, human rights advocates report, there were two suicide attempts Monday, just hours apart. The privately run Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, the site of multiple hunger strikes to protest inhumane conditions over the years, also reported 61-year- old Charles Leo Daniel from Trinidad and Tobago died at the facility last week. He had been detained for about four years and was in solitary confinement at NWDC when he was found unresponsive Thursday in what is suspected to be another suicide. This all comes as a federal judge blocked Washington state from fully enforcing a law intended to increase oversight at the for-profit immigrant jail, run by GEO Group. This recent string of events reveals “the importance and the urgency to shut down the detention center now,” says La Resistencia’s Maru Mora Villalpando, who explains why immigrants are vulnerable and used for votes, for political gain and as scapegoats. “We are in this midst of horrible, horrible situations in detention centers, at the border, in the countries where people need to flee, because it’s working for corporations and for governments. … That’s why we’re not waiting for the government to solve this. We have to save ourselves.” o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ Access_to_Internet_Infrastructure_is_Essential,_in Wartime_and_Peacetime⠀⇛ Unfortunately, governments across the world are very aware of their power to cut off this crucial lifeline, and frequently undertake targeted initiatives to do so. These internet shutdowns have become a blunt instrument that aid state violence and inhibit free speech, and are routinely deployed in direct contravention of human rights and civil liberties. And this is not a one-dimensional situation. Nearly twenty years after the world’s first total internet shutdowns, this draconian measure is no longer the sole domain of authoritarian states but has become a favorite of a diverse set of governments across three continents. For example: In Iran, the government has been suppressing internet access for many years. In the past two years in particular, people of Iran have suffered repeated internet and social media blackouts following an activist movement that blossomed after the death of Mahsa Amini, a woman murdered in police custody for refusing to wear a hijab. The movement gained global attention and in response, the Iranian government rushed to control both the public narrative and organizing efforts by banning social media, and sometimes cutting off internet access altogether.  # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ Generative_AI_Is_Making_an_Old_Problem_Much, Much_Worse⠀⇛ There is a tendency for media coverage to focus on the source of this imagery, because generative AI is a novel technology that many people are still trying to wrap their head around. But that fact obscures the reason the images are relevant: They spread on social-media networks. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, and Google Search determine how billions of people experience the internet every day. This fact has not changed in the generative-AI era. In fact, these platforms’ responsibility as gatekeepers is growing more pronounced as it becomes easier for more people to produce text, videos, and images on command. For synthetic media to reach millions of views—as the Swift images did in just hours—they need massive, aggregated networks, which allow them to identify an initial audience and then spread. As the amount of available content grows with the broader use of generative AI, social media’s role as curator will become even more important. # ⚓ RIPE ☛ As_the_Balance_of_Security_Controls_Shifts,_Where Does_Responsibility_Rest?⠀⇛ The current set of tussles involves a push and pull from industry, standards, and policy with the debate remaining open as to how it will all settle out. As encryption becomes stronger and more pervasive on the Internet to protect our sessions while in transit, the ability to use traditional tools to detect malicious traffic has and will continue to diminish. At the same time, strong encryption that cannot be intercepted is promoted as part of a zero-trust architecture and is important to adopt to prevent lateral movement. Another argument in favour of strong encryption is that it prevents having points of aggregation where all traffic is visible (e.g. intrusion prevention systems holding a shared key to access and view all data). o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ John_Deere_to_Lay_Off_150_Workers_at_Iowa_Factory⠀⇛ Approximately 150 workers at the John Deere Des Moines Works in Ankeny, Iowa, will experience layoffs soon. # ⚓ John_Deere_plans_to_lay_off_150_Ankeny_workers_in_the_next couple_of_months⠀⇛ § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Apple_to_let_EU_developers_distribute_apps_from the_web⠀⇛ Apple's compliance measures with the EU's Digital Markets Act haven't exactly been universally well received, so the iMaker is making a few tweaks to appease the software-developing masses. In a post to its developer site today, Apple said it is modifying not only how developers can distribute apps, but also changing the structure of alternative app marketplaces and linking out for purchases that are made away from the official iOS App Store. o § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ Congress_Must_Stop_Pushing_Bills_That_Will_Benefit Patent_Trolls⠀⇛ One bill, the Patent Eligibility Restoration Act (PERA) would bring back some of the worst software patents we’ve seen, and even re-introduce types of patents on human genes that were banned years ago. Meanwhile, a similar group of senators is trying to push forward the PREVAIL Act (S. 2220), which would shut out most of the public from even petitioning the government to reconsider wrongly granted patents.  # § Software Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ GnuPG ☛ [Announce]_GnuPG_2.4.5_released⠀⇛ We are pleased to announce the availability of a new stable GnuPG release: version 2.4.5. This version fixes a couple of bugs and comes with some new features. o § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ TTAB Blog ☛ TTAB_Dismisses_AMERICAN_APPAREL_Cancellation Petition:_Claims_Should_Have_Been_Raised_as_Counterclaims_in Pending_Opposition⠀⇛ On summary judgment, the Board dismissed this petition for cancellation because Grateful American's claims (genericness and lack of acquired distinctiveness) should have been raised in a pending opposition as compulsory counterclaims. Grateful American waited nearly a year after filing its answer in Gildan Activewear's opposition to registration of the mark GRATEFUL AMERICAN APPAREL before filing this petition for cancellation. Grateful_American_Apparel_LLC_v._Gildan_Activewear SRL, Cancellation No. 92081329 (March 8, 2024) [not precedential]. o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ EFF_to_Ninth_Circuit:_There’s_No_Software_Exception to_Traditional_Copyright_Limits⠀⇛ Thus, the user files were “substantially similar” because they functioned as sequels to the video game itself—specifically the story and principal character of the game. If the user files had told a different story, with different characters, they would not be derivative works. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Bad_Bunny_Sues_Madrid-Based_Fan_Over Concert_Recording_‘Bootlegs,’_Alleging_Copyright_Infringement and_More⠀⇛ In a move that may make fans think twice about posting concert recordings, Bad Bunny is suing a Madrid-based supporter for allegedly capturing and uploading Most Wanted Tour performance footage. Puerto Rico-born Bad Bunny just recently submitted the to-the-point complaint to a California federal court, naming as a defendant one Eric Guillermo Madronal Garrone. # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Mozilla_Open_Policy_&_Advocacy_Blog:_Mozilla Joins_Amicus_Brief_Supporting_Software_Interoperability⠀⇛ In modern technology, interoperability between programs is crucial to the usability of applications, user choice, and healthy competition. Today Mozilla has joined an amicus_brief at the Ninth Circuit, to ensure that copyright monopoly law does not undermine the ability of developers to build interoperable software. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Midjourney_Bans_Stability_From_Using_Its_Images Without_Permission⠀⇛ This data could help Stability train or fine-tune its image-generating AI models — an unusual and ethically dubious way to get ahead of the competition, although of course, we're talking about tech that only exists in the first place because of material it scraped without the artists' permission. The "botnet-like activity from paid accounts" triggered a 24-hour outage earlier this month, infuriating Midjourney. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Google_Is_Getting_Thousands_of_Deepfake_Porn Complaints⠀⇛ A WIRED analysis of copyright claims regarding websites that host deepfake porn videos reveals that thousands of takedown requests have been made, with the frequency of complaints increasing. More than 13,000 copyright complaints—encompassing almost 30,000 URLs—have been made to Google concerning content on a dozen of the most popular deepfake websites. The complaints, which have been made under the Digital Media Copyright Act (DMCA), have resulted in thousands of nonconsensual videos being removed from the web. Two of the most prominent deepfake video websites have been the subject of more than 6,000 and 4,000 complaints each, data published by Google and Harvard University’s Lumen database shows. Across all the deepfake platforms analyzed, around 82 percent of complaints resulted in URLs being removed from Google, the company’s copyright transparency data shows. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Does_LaLiga's_Court_Order_Compel_ISPs_to Identify_Piracy_That_LaLiga_Has_Not?⠀⇛ Reports that top-tier Spanish football league LaLiga will soon file lawsuits against users of pirate IPTV services are incorrect. A court in Barcelona has indeed authorized LaLiga to obtain the identities of subscribers at five major ISPs, but if our reading of court documents is accurate, LaLiga hasn't identified any, even by their IP addresses. As unlikely as it may sound, LaLiga may have no evidence that any subscriber did anything wrong, so ISPs have been instructed to find some. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Pirate_Streaming_Site_Vumoo.to_Goes_Offline Following_ACE_Action⠀⇛ Popular pirate streaming site Vumoo.to was taken down by its operator this weekend, in response to enforcement action by anti-piracy group ACE. With more than 12 million monthly visits, Vumoo was one of the more popular piracy portals. The site was presumably being operated from Vietnam, where many of the largest pirate sites and services still reside today. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 4884 ➮ Generation completed at 02:49, i.e. 12 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
