In October 2023, the Software Freedom Institute chose to cancel our Debian trademark registration. If you have registered domain names containing the Debian trademark then we recommend that you seek advice about whether your web site content meets the criteria_for_legitimate_interests_under_the_UDRP or similar fair use frameworks that apply in your jurisdiction. The_judgment_about the_Scientologie.org_domain_name provides an interesting example where the right of copyright interests was deemed to be superior to the trademark rights. As all Debian Developers have copyright interests in our work, the Scientologie.org precedent gives us a strong defence against malicious UDRP cases. In February 2014, Bdale_Garbee_used_his_casting_vote_in_the_Debian_Technical Committee_to_endorse_the_systemd_init_system_for_future_releases_of_Debian. The Devuan developers began forking_the_Debian_operating_system_on_3_May_2016 to maintain ongoing support for Init-style init systems. Devuan is not exactly a fork though: the Devuan developers are simply modifying certain packages to ensure that traditional init systems continue to work. In 2022, Lennart Poettering, the leader of the systemd development, migrated from_employment_with_Red_Hat_to_Microsoft. Personally, I try to make sure my applications work with and without systemd. I don't wish to make any comment for or against systemd, Poettering or Microsoft in this context. Nonetheless, I suspect that Debian's original founders would struggle to get their heads around this situation. Having recently acquired_the_Debian_trademark, I want to make a very strong statement in support of the work that Devuan developers are doing. Using the authority of the_trademark, I am granting the Devuan developers authority to use the name Debian in domain names and for any other purpose they see fit and to use the title Debian Developer under one condition: when they use the trademark, they must take reasonable steps to avoid any confusion about which init system they are supplying. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Debian, Devuan, systemd⦈ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⡾⠷⠶⢦⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡼⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⠁⠀⠀⡐⠉⠀⠁⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⠀⠀⠀⢡⠀⠀⠀⢀⡼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠠⢀⢀⣤⠶⠶⠶⠶⠄⢰⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠆⢰⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡴⠶⠶⠦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣄⠀⠀⠀⠑⠲⠒⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⡄⠀⠀⣰⠏⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢀⡾⠉⢷⡀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⡄⣰⠏⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⢀⡾⠁⠀⠈⢷⡀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠓⠄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣴⣶⡾⠿⠛⠉⠘⠷⠶⠶⠶⠶⠄⠀⠀⠀⠻⠏⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⠦⠤⠴⠾⠃⠀⡾⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠷⠀⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 217 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://news.techrights.org/n/2024/03/21/Fete_de_la_Musique_and_why_I_don_t_use_Google.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2024/03/21/Fete_de_la_Musique_and_why_I_don_t_use_Google.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fete de la Musique and why I don't use Google⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 21, 2024 Reprinted with permission from Daniel_Pocock. Today [sic] is Fete_de_la_Musique in the French-speaking world. It feels like the perfect time to release the video of former GNOME employee Magdalen_Berns singing Zombie. I recorded this at the Google Mentor Summit in 2014. Magdalen is no longer with us, she died of cancer in 2019. If Magdalen was alive today, would she recognize the GNOME organization? People are gradually coming to realize that the recent attacks on Dr Richard Stallman crossed far too many red lines. Working for a non-profit organization is a privilege and when certain GNOME employees attacked a volunteer, Dr Stallman, they undermined the principle of volunteering everywhere. We already see people_who_signed_the_petition_in_the_heat_of_the_moment_are asking_to_remove_their_names. The choice_of_the_song's_title_is_subject_to debate. Are zombies the people trying to stamp_out_independent_thought from leaders like Dr Stallman? Or are they the volunteers silenced by mindless groupthink? In fact, Magdalen wasn't the only candidate to sing_at_the_summit. Carla had contemplated it but it was Magdalen's moment and in hindsight, I'm really glad she did it and that we can see it again today. This is Carla_performing_Zombie. § Why I don't use services from Google⠀➾ Despite over twenty years contributing to Debian and GNU/Linux, one of the Google women told me that Carla is not welcome to eat with the rest of us at DebConf. Here are her words: Subject: Regarding your DebConf15 attendance Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2015 23:10:55 +0200 From: Margarita Manterola (Google, Inc) CC: DebConf15 Registration team, chairs@debconf.org, bursaries@debconf.org Hi Daniel, We discussed today a certain arrangement regarding your registration (changing food+accom to food for you and Carla), that I was not actually entitled to make. This arrangement is not valid, I was forced by your insistence into agreeing to something that I wouldn't otherwise have agreed. This is the mock outrage of somebody who is not really a victim. The Google woman provides no evidence of insistence, the only pushy behaviour we see is in her own communications to volunteers. We can see her demanding behavior through the rest of her email. What Google is really trying to do is make volunteers feel bad about bringing our partners. She took a perfectly normal question about food and she turns it around to attack the person asking the question. The Google woman banned Carla from eating and she's trying to make me feel like it is my fault. Many women suffer from eating disorders or had life-changing experiences with these disorders in their adolescence. I didn't write this voluntarily. Google employees have made Carla and I incredibly uncomfortable by spreading suggestions of abuse. Yet the only abuse here is coming from the Google woman. Eating_disorders_are_the_most_deadly of all forms of mental illness. Making somebody who may have suffered with a disease like that feel uncomfortable or unwelcome at meals is the worst thing you can possibly do. The rude Google woman is doing exactly that. This insulting email from a Google employee was really the last straw. I don't use Google services and I will go out of my way to help other people stop using them too. The DebConf food and accommodation sponsorship is meant to help Debian contributors participate in the conference. It was granted to you, on the basis of your Debian contributions and it's not transferable, nor is it a sponsorship in cash that you can collect, it's meant to be used for your stay at DebConf and nothing else. The_Google_woman_met_her_husband_through_Debian_and_then_she_became_a_Debian Developer. They always have a room together at DebConf. They make these rules for the rest of us. Every year some volunteers ask if they can use the money awarded for shared accommodation as a subsidy for a respectable hotel room off-site. Google always gets mad about these requests. Last year, you signed up for the conference but didn't attend, cancelling on the last minute, when you had already been assigned a roommate. If a member of the family is in hospital, volunteers are under no obligation to travel and attend a conference doing free work for Google. We are not their slaves. Volunteers do the same work or more than Google employees. Why do they insist that we have roommates? This is another gimmick to prevent people bringing their partner or spouse. Google wants people to be working all the time we are at DebConf. This year, you have failed on several occasions to update your dates, even though we asked you explicitely to do so. We understand that you have a busy schedule, but so do we. You were supposed to have entered your actual dates by June 30th, it's July 23rd and you still have the whole period from 9th to 23rd. Given that the conference is so imminent, it was equally urgent for me to find out if Carla would feel welcome or not. The Google rudeness made it clear that my hesitation in booking the trip was well justified. This is a total lack of respect to your fellow Debian/DebConf volunteers that are working hard towards making the conference possible, plus a waste of Debian's money as if we don't set the correct dates for your stay by tomorrow, we will have to pay for it even if you are not attending. At the last DebConf before the pandemic, Debian/Google found_$10,000_to_bring Albanian_women_to_an_event_in_Brazil, it is the diversity expense line in the budget. If Debian/Google really wanted to be efficient with funds then they would use the same $10,000 to organize an educational event for 100 women and students in their country of origin. I'm not entitled to make any decisions here, but I'm raising the issue to both the DebConf chairs and the DebConf Bursaries team, so that everyone is aware of what's going on. Nasty. This is the extremism that Google is imposing in free software events today. They pretend we are all volunteers but then they barge in and start making all these rules and orders. This is the photo that everybody is talking about from DebConf19 in Brazil, where four of the Albanian women are sitting at the table with the former Debian leader, Chris Lamb. It is the conference dinner. Accounting_records_show $10,000_was_spent_on_these_diversity_travel_tickets. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Chris Lamb, Albanian women, Outreachy selection, favoritism⦈ In Albania, Lamb dined in the restaurant owned by the woman's parents on at least two occasions. Shortly after DebConf, she was given an Outreachy internship. Another $6,000. The women were expecting to meet students from other countries too. They were surprised that these free tickets had been invented just for them when it was so hard for everybody else to qualify. That is the creepy feeling you get when you wonder if you are in the hands of people trafficking. Women are particularly conscious of the_impact_of_favoritism_on_their_careers. Outreachy internships were meant to give women hope but the_pictures_published by_Debian suggest nothing is going to change any time soon. These are the words of Sage Sharp in written instructions telling Debian the woman sitting next to the former leader was not eligible: From: Sage Sharp [... snip ...] While you may not have intended it this way, this sounds like favoritism, ... [... snip ...] Again, this sounds a bit like favoritism of a person who is already active in open source. [... snip ...] Again, this may be how your experience with GSoC works, but the goal of Outreachy is to try and get people who aren't currently open source contributors (or who are not as active contributors) to be accepted as Outreachy interns. That's why we have the rule that past GSoC or Outreachy applicants are ineligible to apply. There are more women like Magdalen out there who are passed over every day.

Mar 21, 2024, updated Mar 21, 2024 Reprinted with permission from Daniel_Pocock. In 1998, the president of the Melbourne University Student Union, Shelley Marshall, selected two students to represent student interests in the university's strategic decision making bodies. Peter Eckersley and I. Shelley's strengths are in the social sciences rather than computing so she was making this decision based on feedback from the wider community. She was not affiliated with the political groups where Peter and I found support. Somehow she put aside the day-to-day machinations of student politics and appointed these positions on merit alone. History has proven her choices to be correct. This created a situation where Peter and I were both rivals and collaborators. Despite the murky nature of student politics and the_fact_that_our_association would_subsequently_become_the_biggest_ever_bankruptcy_of_a_non-profit_student association, I couldn't find fault with him. In September of 1998, when student elections came around, we faced the most unusual situation. Melbourne University Student Union had the privilege of electing seven delegates to the National Union of Students. Out of those seven seats, six candidates won a quota. After many other candidates were eliminated, three candidates remained: Jacob Varghese, Peter Eckersley and I in a preference battle. Jacob was the smoothest political operator of our generation. He took that seat and a few weeks later became president of the NUS too. Today, Jacob is CEO of Australia's most respected plaintiff law firm, Maurice_Blackburn. The fact that two students from engineering and computer science, Peter and I, came within striking distance of this hot-shot law student is incredible in itself. Had Peter and I collaborated (think John Nash, game theory), we might have had the last word. For a while, Peter was affiliated with the Australian Democrats. They were the third party in Australian politics. Democrat supporters had a reputation for being principled people who refused to associate with the two mainstream political parties. Principles were thrown out the window when_the_Democrat party_imploded. Peter and I both left Australia at different times and in different directions. Peter's achievements with Lets Encrypt are legendary and I can't add anything to what others at EFF have already written. The last photo I have with Peter is from DebConf15_in_Heidelberg,_Germany. In the same photo are some of the animals who attacked my family at the time my father died. Some of Peter's last papers concern the_role_of_Artificial_Intelligence_in military_applications. Peter was right to worry about that, the world first autonomous drone was developed right down the corridor in the CS labs. University_of_Melbourne_isn't_mentioned_in_the_paper and I didn't see Peter's name on it. But it was 1999 and the world was going to end anyway. § RIP Peter Eckersley⠀➾ This is the photo from DebConf15 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Peter Eckersley, Daniel Pocock, DebConf15, Heidelberg⦈ § Student paper links world-first autonomous drone to Melbourne Uni CS lab⠀➾ Click the paper to see how this project progressed after the students graduated.

Job⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 21, 2024 We've also managed to publish 10-20 new pages per day (consistently) 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Roy as a teen⦈ THIRTEEN years ago (February 2011) I joined Sirius and I mostly worked overnight in that job, albeit I started by covering weekends only. My sleep wasn't good since I started doing overnight shifts (around 2012), and that impacted my ability to focus or concentrate in the hours of daytime. That ended in 2022 when I was 40 and decided to finally quit, as did my wife (who had worked in the same company). Our life has improved, we find more time to run our sites, and we're going on holiday soon. Looking back at about 25 years or work, I am proud of (and genuinely happy with) what I learned and accomplished. My jobs were all ethical (that typically means being paid a lot less). Now we are receiving financial support from readers of Techrights, so we can carry on going for decades to come (although decades are a rather ambitious projection). In terms of traffic, it has gone up sharply, especially_this_past_month. We consistently serve over a million requests per day, sometimes close to 2 million, and we've been receiving plenty of positive feedback lately, mostly by E-mail. Thanks for all the encouraging words! As one can expect, attempts to suppress or censor us grew as well. Worry not, we know our rights, and we're not going to 'soften'. UK press freedom is waning (notice how much they're delaying the_Julian_Assange_verdict!), but we're receiving clearances and go-aheads from the authorities. Some stuff we write may seem "controversial", but nothing is "illegal" or "unethical". We tend to expose ethical breaches, not to commit ethical breaches. Always remember that in a civil society exposing crime is not itself a crime. █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸

The war on the media is connected the Web's demise (many cheap "person_says" articles, citing nothing but "tweets" and not investigating actual facts, instead parroting or relaying face-saving messages from dishonest officials) The utterly morbid state of the Web, which turned_35_the_other_week, is even recognised_by_Microsoft_employees_now. There are several issues, ranging from low quality of pages (outright lies, no journalism) to page size or bloat (which is in turn connected to privacy, environmental aspects and so on). Over the past few years we kept reminding people that RSS feeds still exist, even if most sites deliberately hide them and Web browsers went out of their way to deprecate functionality associated with them. I know technical people who used to use RSS readers for everything and then moved to Google Reader (till it died), or worse, they moved to social control media when that concept was young (before it was just mass censorship) and then stayed there as an "alternative" to RSS readers. Well, social control media is basically a "man in the middle" that isn't your ISP. It's a gatekeeper. Never trust gatekeepers other than yourself. They serve themselves, not you, based on commercial interests, ideology etc. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Hong_Kong_Harbor_at_Night⦈_ At the moment I try my best to retrieve material from Gemini and sometimes from Gopher. They're not perfect, a lot of stuff there is of very low quality, but we certainly need alternatives. I may need to think how to better articulate how I feel about this whole thing, as saying "alternatives" does not necessarily mean something better, just something different. Having been gardening my RSS feeds a few hours ago, I'm frustrated to discover many broken feeds, many invalid feeds, many sites offline or outdated (sometimes they change feed URL without announcing it or simply setting up a redirection). Our Daily Links are by far the most time-consuming activity (they take longer to curate than it takes to research articles), but we certainly hope - and truly believe - that many people find them useful. The latest Daily Links combined Gemini and HTTP/S because we simply didn't find enough Gemini links. Daily Links have been a feature in this site for nearly 17 years and they would be the last thing to give up on. They're made possible primarily owing to RSS feeds, but nowadays it takes a lot more time to find good article because news sites are perishing. As Press Gazette put_it_earlier_this_week, "Online publishers hit by declining Facebook and advertising revenue in 2023," so we can expect things to worsen even further this year and next year. A longtime reader of this site once told me that our Daily Links are a bigger contribution than Richard Stallman with GNU (I strongly disagree with that assessment by the way), but that served to remind me that many people make use of our Daily Links. We're still evaluating and developing tools for Daily Links. The other day Roy Tang took_note of one of these tools when he wrote: "Roy and Rianne's Righteously Royalty-free RSS Reader v 0.1 (I approve of this name, but I couldn't find a website)" (it's_in_Gemini). █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣻ ⣿⢮⣿⡿⣿⣻⣿⣉⡇⠀⠀⠸⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣥⢯⣿⣿⣿⡟⢹⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢀⠐ ⠋⠉⣛⣋⣿⢿⡟⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⢸⣿⢘⣻⣿⣿⣿⡀⠿⢿⣾⣿⣿⣷⢸⣿⣿⡿⠻⢛⣿⣽⠉⠉⠉⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠄⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡿⠿⠸⢠ ⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠙⠛⢋⡇⠀⠀⢐⣚⣶⣶⣾⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣽⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⡷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣷⣿⣀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠭⠷⠴⡤⠞⢿⡟⣛⣯⣭⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡿⠿⠿⣤⣂⣸⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣾⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢀⢴⢰ ⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣾⣟⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠈⠀⠉⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⢿⣿⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢯⠀⢀⣼ ⡆⠂⠀⠀⡴⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠀⠹⢿⡿⢹⣿⡋⢸⣿⠀⠉⢹⣻⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⢠⡆⢰⠹⣾ ⢧⠀⠀⣼⣇⡄⢀⣀⡀⠐⠂⠀⢿⢉⢻⡉⣿⡹⠃⢀⣄⠘⠈⠁⠈⠉⠁⠀⢿⡀⢤⣼⣛⣭⣽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣽⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⡘⣿⣿⣿⣏⣉⣹⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⡇⠘⠀⣿ ⢸⠀⠿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣱⣷⣼⣊⡀⠤⣀⠉⠁⣿⠁⢀⣼⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠇⠃⠀⠀⡟⠈⠯⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣘⣿⣇⣤⣤⣴⡦⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠄⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠸⠀⢿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢸⡇⠀⠀⠉ ⢸⠀⠀⠛⣿⣿⡛⠻⡿⠿⠟⠛⣿⣇⠀⠀⣿⢠⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣾⡶⣶⣾⢷⡆⠁⠀⣶⡞⣿⠋⠱⠈⢻⢹⣿⢸⣇⣿⣿⠯⡤⠀⡀⢰⣾⢿⣿⣿⡤⣿⣿⠗⡇⢸⣿⣆⠀⢸⣿⡇⢹⣿⣿⠘⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⠈⠀⠀⠀⠸⠃⠀⠀⠷⠆⠀⠀⣿⣧⠈⠀⣽⡿⡯⣟⣿⡇⠀⠀⢀⣴⠈⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⠸⠧⣤⣴⡿⣳⣿⣲⣿⠀⣸⢹⡟⢸⡿⢟⣿⣯⣷⣖⠳⠺⢿⣿⡟⠁⠀⢿⣿⠀⢡⣼⣿⡿⠀⠀⣿⡇⣸⡿⠏⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠈⠀⠖⠀⠀⠀⣿⡗⠀⠤⣽⡧⣭⡯⠊⢈⡛⢀⠈⠉⠀⠙⢺⡏⡿⠇⠀⢰⣾⣿⣿⠿⡿⢿⣿⣠⢿⢺⡇⣷⣶⡚⢱⣿⣿⠀⡅⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠘⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡧⠀⣰⠒⠒⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⡏⠀⢸⣿⡿⠿⢵⡾⢿⡏⠀⠀⠘⢸⡇⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠁⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡷⡦⠀⢸⢿⡧⠅⠹⠄⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⢐⢻⡆⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠏⠀⠀⢸⢸⡇⠀⢀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠈⣫⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⢸⠇⠀⠀⠀⠸⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡟⠀⠸⢿⠿⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⡇⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣯⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠋⠀⢰⣾⡤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣴⣄⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣦⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡄⢀⡀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣴⣤⣦⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⡀⣠⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣀⠀⢠⣴ ⣶⣦⣦⣤⣤⣤⣦⣤⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣶⣶⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣾⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠉⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠋⠉ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢀⠀⢿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠁⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⡀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠙⠉⠉⠙⠉⠉⠉⠉⢛⠟⢿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠋⠗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⢠⠸⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣄⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⢤⠄⠀⡄⠀⣶⣤⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⡷⣿⣿⣿⣇⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡐⠒⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠿⢃⡀⠀⠠⣤⡄ ⣀⢀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣧⣈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⡤⠄⠀⠻⢿⠇⠀⠿⠃⠀⠀⠋⠛⠛⢺⣦⣤⣦⣴⠰⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣦⣶⣶⣶⡁⠁⠀⠀⣸⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢰⠁⠀⠀⠘⢛⣁ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠸⠀⠀⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⡀⠂⡉⢻⣿⡿⣿⣿⣋⣿⣿⣿⣿⡁⣀⣠⠠⣿⣿⣿⡦⠀⢠⣤⡀⢸⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣈⠈⠀⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿ ⠁⠈⠉⠉⠹⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⡳⠄⠂⣁⠑⠁⠄⠘⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠤⠤⢧⢸⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣧⡀⣸⣟⢉⣸⣿⣤⡄⠈⢿⣿⣿⠀⠐⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿ ⠛⠒⠺⡶⣿⣿⣿⡯⠃⠙⠚⠂⠋⠋⠓⠉⠁⠛⡛⠃⠒⠒⠀⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢒⣒⣘⡛⠛⢚⣛⡁⠸⠿⢿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⢹⣿⣟⡿⣿⠿⠛⠻⠿⣿⠟⠿⠚⠙⠉⠙⠛⠉⠓⠒⠒⠶⡟⠹⡿⠃⢲⠿⠿⣟⠁⠀ ⠀⠀⠨⡽⢿⣿⣿⠧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣗⢺⣿⡟⠀⠀⢺⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⠠⢤⠤⢤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⣭⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1607 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Gemini Links 21/03/2024: 2-Bit Game Boy and Godot⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 21, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Green_Nintendo_Game_Boy_Color⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_TGILOSC_Wordo:_ASTRO⠀⇛ # ⚓ eighth⠀⇛ today was pretty okay! kinda boring.. and im very tired haha.. but.. my mind has felt loud today in ways i can't put into words. wagh o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Halfway_Done_With_2-Bit_Game_Boy_Tarot_Card_Project⠀⇛ In the end of February 2022, I decided to start working on a Game Boy homebrew game project. That project was a tarot card reader for the Game Boy. The complicated part of that project though is that I need the tarot card designs to be converted to something the Game Boy can use, so I have slowly been working on those designs since. At the beginning of 2024, I only had 8 designs done out of the 78 tarot cards. One of my 2024 new year resolutions was to try and do 1 card design each week in 2024, which would get my total up to 60 or 61 at the end of the year out of 78. I have been blowing past that rate though! This is the 14th week of 2024 and I have done 31 designs this year. That means I'm at 39 out of 78, which is halfway through! I can now comfortably do only 1 a week if I wanted to and be done by the Winter Solstice. # ⚓ Godot⠀⇛ I recently got myself a new computer. I haven't had one like this for a long while now. All I've really used for the past many years has been a little old netbook I got on a pawn shop over 6 years ago. For reasons I have used for the most part the command line in all this time. Yes I've used X and web browsers on it, and Emacs, and say, ghostscript and the like. But I've done most of what I do on the command line, and it's very unfamiliar to me suddenly using "modern" GUI applications. I installed Godot and Gimp, and I have been reading the docs and tutorials, but I feel quite out of my element. I am sure all these tabs and menus and buttons have very useful information throughout, but I get easily overwhelmed with all this new information in my eyes. I guess it alwasys takes time to get to know a new technology. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ AuraGem_Ask,_Sefaria_Proxy,_and_A_Major_Update⠀⇛ I have finally brought AuraGem Ask back up. I have also fixed the Sefaria proxy. The biggest change, however, is that while AuraGem was down for most of the day today, I was spending hours and hours switching the server from Windows to Ubuntu Server. This means moving 200 GB worth of data, along with setting up the databases again, getting wifi drivers to work (because every time I use Linux Server versions, I *always* get internet connection problems). I also put a bit of time into optimizing firebird's settings so that the database responds faster (hopefully). =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Pickles writes in a humourous prose style that went out with bakelite and the zeppelin, reminding me of F M Cornford, and like Cornford was slightly overshadowed in literary terms by his own wife. # ⚓ Low_expectations_🎞️⠀⇛ In the 1990s I went to see a film at my local cinema. Whatever it was, it must have been popular because there were no tickets left. The box office person said they did have tickets for Super Mario Bros instead. Oh well, we're here. So we saw that, and I kind of enjoyed it. It had two advantages. I had very, very low expectations, and it easily surpassed them. And I wasn't that interested in video games, so I was pleased that they did something non-game-y with it. But I can't explain why they chose an English actor to play Mario. # ⚓ Should_black_kittens_go_to_heaven?⠀⇛ AJJ is a folk punk band that I like. They're kind of popular as far as folk punk bands go. One of their old albums, "only God can judge me and more," features the song quoted above. It's not my favourite song by AJJ, but it is my favourite to think about. It presents a kind of absurd moral problem: there is this person who's gestating both cats and mice, and it seems to be taken as a given that eating mice is intrinsic to being a cat. So, the cats eat the mice, and immediately after being born, they're punished for their misdeeds. # ⚓ P04_Lifeline_Pilot⠀⇛ Passengers, ready for take-off. It's going to be a bumpy flight, over childhood and then kickoff. Your life will have some fights. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Celestial_Calculations_(publ._2024-03-21)⠀⇛ Astronomy season is basically over for me now due to our seasonal weather patterns in Fairbanks. As soon as spring approaches, and the weather starts to warm up, we get overcast skies nearly every night for months. So even though there is still decent amounts of darkness, I can't see anything at night. I have aspirations to do some solar observing projects but am not sure what progress I will make. It is a nice excuse, though, to refocus attention onto my botany interests, which mainly involves walk along the Tanana River and studying the flora there, and reading a few books about plants and plant biology. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ A_new_Bullet_Journal⠀⇛ Since 2018, I've been using the bullet journal method. I won't go into the story behind it (search for Ryder Caroll), but I've been doing it for 5 years in my own way. It's a mixture of professional needs and personal ideas. I've tried a lot of things and the first idea was to replace some of the notes I had on my smartphone, and to be able to draw or write something I had in mind. As I was never in my office, I chose an A6 notebook: I can put it in my work trouser pocket. I can also put it in a bag or just on my small desk. It's perfect for taking notes when I'm trying out a new bench or creating a new method. I added a pen holder for a mechanical pencil and simply reinforced the edge of the book with woven tape. If you're not familiar with the method, it's a very personalized agenda and notebook with your own page numbering, your index, your categories, your legends, etc... Every bullet journal is different and I'm not a big fan of self-development or mental health check-ups. I've tried doing monthly trackers, a kind of chart with goals... Not very efficient for me. [...] After a month of the new version, I have made drawings between the page of notes and trackers, goals or important data. The ideas for the blog are rare and are sent to my email or in a markdown file created with Markor and sent to the server as a draft. I have a new pit pen to add color. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ That_Threads_Federation_is_Going_About_How_You'd Expect⠀⇛ That didn't take long. On my Mastodon feed this morning, I see that Threads appears to be blocking mentions of Pixelfed, an ostensible competitor to Instagram. This is a little rude of me, but let's be real: people use what's easy, and the Fediverse has the appearance of friction, even if, in my experience anyway, that's nowhere near the case. People know that Instagram's easy. Instagram's what your friends use, but also Kim Kardashian and also more than a billion others. Pixelfed has ordinary people, not celebrities, not influencers. The UI is similar, but the purposes are miles apart. # ⚓ Gopher's_Uncontextualized_Directories_vs._Gemini's Contextualized_Directories⠀⇛ A few things from Gopher+ jumped out at me, particularly the new Gopher+ requests, which I will be calling "metadata requests". Gopher+'s approach to these requests and abstracts has, to me, made a greater case for the choice Gemini took in having gemtext directories rather than simple menus (like what Gopher had originally intended). One might call Gemini's approach Document Directories, but I argue that the distinction between Gopher and Gemini is the distinction between Uncontextualized Directories and Contextualized Directories. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Basic_shell_with_job_control⠀⇛ I decided to create a simple shell with job control because most of the simple shells on the internet don't have job control. I don't consider shells without job control to be usable, I want to start a program and press ctrl+z to suspend the process and go back to the shell. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

The serviced apartment we had before was amazing; it was close_to_public_transport, amenities, and things to do. We could see much of KLCC from the lounge! By comparison, that house in far-flung suburbia may as well have been on the moon, with even trips to coffee shops being out of the question unless you booked a cab. [...] Before I had this setup, I’d have to turn off my primary desktop, unplug the monitor and peripherals, and connect it all to what I was testing. Then when I was done, plug it all back in again, turn it back on, and navigate the awkward Dell LCD menu to get the right input back. o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Dang_Wangi_station_in_Kuala_Lumpur⠀⇛ I mentioned Kuala Lumpur in my post about a computer workbench, which made me nostalgic. Me? Never! We used to go up to KL fairly often when we moved to Singapore. Even as a little kid I was obsessed with public transit and stations, and KL’s metro was really interesting. It was a far cry from Singapore’s MRT in reach, capacity, and frequency, but was still cooler than what I remembered in Australia. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Cute_CO2_Gauge_Tells_You_When_To_Crack_A_Window⠀⇛ [Cyrill] has a good home automation scheme going: there are a number of physical switches set around the place that control the essential functions. The only problem is that in the winter time, this results in a great deal of phone checking as [Cyrill] tries to monitor the CO2 level. Tired of all this screen time, [Cyrill] set about to create an incredibly cute (and useful) Co2 monitor that plainly shows the current level and how bad it is, relatively speaking. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Breadboard_SDR_Doesn’t_Need_Much⠀⇛ [Grug Huhler] built a simple Tayloe mixer and detector on a breadboard. He decided to extend it a bit to be a full- blown software defined radio (SDR). He then used WSJT- X to monitor FT8 signals and found that he could pick up signals from all over the world with the little breadboard system. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Repairing_A_Gear_With_A_Candle_(and_Some_Epoxy)⠀⇛ You have a broken gear you need to fix, but there’s no equivalent part available. That’s the issue [Well Done Tips] faced with a plastic gear from a lawnmower. While we’d be tempted to scan the gear, repair the damage in CAD and then 3D print a new one, we enjoyed hearing about his low-tech solution. In addition to the write up, there’s a video showing the process you can watch below. o ⚓ YLE ☛ Tuesday's_papers:_Angry_farmers,_chat_doctors_and_a_10m2 home⠀⇛ When it comes to micro apartments, how small is too small? o ⚓ YLE ☛ THL_survey:_Over_40%_of_immigrants_in_Finland_have_faced discrimination⠀⇛ The health agency's survey queried around just over 7,800 adults whose parents and themselves were born abroad. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Your_Text_Needs_More_JPEG⠀⇛ We’ve all been victims of bad memes on the Internet, but they’re not all just bad jokes gone wrong. Some are simply bad as a result of being copies-of-copies, as each reposter adds another layer of compression to an already lossy image format like JPEG. Compression can certainly be a benefit in areas like images and videos, but [Michal] had a bit of a fever dream imagining this process applied to text. Rather than let the idea escape, he built the Lossifizer to add JPEG-like compression to text. o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ The_calming_joy_of_pink_noise⠀⇛ One of my earliest childhood memories involved being excited for the box fan my parents would put in my bedroom over summer. The gentle whirring sound of its blades cutting through the air and blowing it across the room was comforting in a way I couldn’t describe, to the point where I genuinely missed it when winter came around. As I got older, I came to understand the concept of white noise, and how it helps some people relax or concentrate. I don’t suffer tinnitus fortunately, but I do find very quiet rooms disconcerting. Maybe it was my subsequent upbringing in dense, humid cities with traffic noise and air conditioning. Either way, to this day I have a small tower fan I leave running in the corner of our bedroom, even in a Sydney winter. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ 'Light_Speed'_Electrons_Discovered_Moving in_4_Dimensions_For_The_First_Time⠀⇛ When three just aren't enough. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Shape_Changes_in_Brain_Cells_Could_Play_a Critical_Role_in_Middle-Age_Spread⠀⇛ Don't blame your brain just yet. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Joint_harassment_reporting_system_in_academia considered⠀⇛ Minister of Education and Science Anda Čakša (New Unity) has proposed a review of the codes of ethics of universities and to create a more unified reporting system.

This is an effort to reduce dependence on American chipmakers. The directive, according to a Bloomberg report, was issued by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Nuvoton’s_NuMicro_M091_Arm_Cortex-M0 microcontroller_targets_industrial_sensors⠀⇛ Nuvoton recently launched the NuMicro M091 Series of microcontrollers, these are 32-bit MCUs based on the Arm Cortex-M0 core, featuring 4 sets of operational amplifiers with 8 MHz gain bandwidth (GBW), 4 sets of 12-bit DAC, up to 16 channels of 2 MSPS 12-bit SAR ADC, a temperature sensor, and extensive I/O options. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ SONOFF_POW_Ring_Review_–_A_WiFi_CT_Clamp power_meter_tested_with_eWelink_and_Home_Assistant⠀⇛ The trend of measuring the energy usage of household electrical devices has become increasingly popular among Smart Home users in the past few years. We have received the new SONOFF POW Ring Smart Power Meter Switch device for review from ITEAD. Unlike SONOFF’s existing energy monitoring devices such as POW Elite, SPM, DualR3, POW3, and POW Origin, this new device, also called POWCT, utilizes a current transformer (CT) to measure the current flow, or total power being consumed. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Diamond_Can_Be_Squeezed_Into_Something_Even Harder._Now_We_Know_How_to_Do_It.⠀⇛ A different kind of bling. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ Coast_Guard_improves_access_to mental_health_care⠀⇛ A new Coast Guard policy will require supervisors to refer personnel to a health care provider for an evaluation as soon as service members request assistance. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Severely_ill_patients_in_South_Korea fed_up_and_fearful_as_medical_stand-off_drags_on⠀⇛ A patient advocacy group urged the government and doctors to “stop fighting on the bodies of dying patients”. # ⚓ YLE ☛ Report:_Finland_has_some_of_the_cleanest_air_in_the world⠀⇛ The only countries that met the WHO's air quality standards last year were Finland, Australia, Estonia, Iceland, Grenada, Mauritius and New Zealand. # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Latvia_plans_to_develop_health_tourism_over_next three_years⠀⇛ Latvia is committed to developing the export of healthcare services over the next three years, increasing the number of health tourists and returning doctors from abroad.

One issue became evident in February, when the VPN provider AirVPN announced that it would no longer accept users resident in Italy because of the “burdensome” requirements of the new system. Shortly afterwards, TorrentFreak published a story about the system crashing under the weight of requests to block just a few hundred IP addresses. Since there are now around two billion copyright claims being made every year against YouTube material, it’s unlikely that Piracy Shield will be able to cope once takedown requests start ramping up, as they surely will. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ North_Korea_leader_Kim_guides_new solid-fuel_engine_for_hypersonic_missile,_KCNA_says⠀⇛ North Korean leader Kim Jong Un guided a ground test of a solid-fuel engine for a new type of intermediate-range hypersonic missile as part of a program of developing national defence capability, state news agency KCNA reported on Wednesday. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Where_is_Kim_Keon-hee?_South_Korean First_Lady’s_absence_raises_questions⠀⇛ Ms Kim was said to be last seen in public upon her return from the Netherlands in 2023. # ⚓ YLE ☛ Border_Guard:_More_than_30_people_suspected_of_human smuggling_across_eastern_border⠀⇛ The Finnish Border Guard has opened 25 criminal investigations into the organisation of unauthorised crossings. # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ Fewer_active-duty_military_families encourage_young_people_to_enlist⠀⇛ The number of families recommending service to their loved ones has precipitously dropped since 2016, the largest annual military family lifestyle survey finds. # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Internal_Security_Bureau_sends_police_violence case_to_prosecutor⠀⇛ The Internal Security Bureau (IDB) said March 19 it has sent a criminal case to the prosecutor's office for the investigation of a criminal offense involving a municipal police officer. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Hamas_chief_accuses_Israel_of_'sabotaging'_truce talks_after_Gaza_hospital_raid⠀⇛ Hamas's Qatar-based chief Ismail Haniyeh accused Israel on Tuesday of sabotaging ceasefire talks after its raid on Gaza's largest hospital, Al- Shifa, which Israel alleges is being used for military purposes.

Missouri case earlier this week, showing that the Supreme Court appears to be quite skeptical of the arguments by the states regarding the federal government “jawboning” to convince social media to take down certain content. For months now, we’ve been pointing out that the factual record in that case is a mess, driven by conspiracy theorists pushing nonsense. Unfortunately, a few Judges both believed the nonsense and then when they couldn’t rely on it to make their point had to misquote people, quote things out of context, or entirely fabricate parts of quotes in their rulings. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Preparing_Society_for_AI-Driven Disinformation_in_the_2024_Election_Cycle⠀⇛ The rapid evolution of Hey Hi (AI) and analytics engines will put campaign-year disinformation into hyperspeed in terms of false content creation, dissemination and impact. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ AI_and_the_Evolution_of_Social Media⠀⇛ Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

The bill consists of nine parts. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Article_23:_Hong_Kong’s_‘all- patriots’_legislature_set_to_pass_new_security_law_after fast-tracked_second_reading⠀⇛ Hong Kong’s opposition-free legislature is set to pass new security legislation, after the second reading of a proposed domestic security bill resumed earlier than expected. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong_passes_new_security_law, raising_max._penalty_for_treason,_insurrection_to_life_in prison⠀⇛ Hong Kong’s opposition-free legislature has unanimously passed new homegrown security legislation, making treason, insurrection and sabotage punishable by up to life in prison, and rejecting Western criticism that the law would further restrict the city’s freedoms. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Article_23:_UN_rights_chief_slams new_Hong_Kong_security_law_as_‘regressive,_rushed’⠀⇛ The UN rights chief denounced the “rushed” adoption Tuesday of a new national security law in Hong Kong, calling it “a regressive step for the protection of human rights”. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Hong_Kong_adopts_contentious_law_giving government_more_power_to_quash_dissent⠀⇛ Hong Kong legislators unanimously passed a new national security law on Tuesday, introducing penalties such as life imprisonment for crimes related to treason and insurrection, and up to 20 years in jail for the theft of state secrets. # ⚓ Reason ☛ "Black_Lives_Mat[t]er"_+_"Any_Life"_Drawing_"Not Protected_by_the_First_Amendment"_in_First_Grade⠀⇛ Such speech can be found to be "impermissible harassment," the court says, partly because "deference to schoolteachers is especially appropriate today, where, increasingly, what is harmful or innocent speech is in the eye of the beholder." # ⚓ Reason ☛ Murthy_v._Missouri_and_Government_Urging_Platforms to_Restrict_Speech⠀⇛ The government can't block viewpoints it condemns from its own property that has been opened to publicspeech. Should there be limits on government systematically and substantially encouraging private entities to block the same viewpoints from their property—which may be much more important to public debate than the government property where speech remains free? # ⚓ Reason ☛ The_First_Amendment,_the_Fourth_Amendment,_and Substantial_Encouragement⠀⇛ Part of the Murthy v. Missouri challengers' claim is that the First Amendment bans the government from even "substantially encouraging" private entities to block user speech. And as I noted in the post below, I appreciate the difficulties with this claim (though I also appreciate its appeal). Here, though, I wanted to repeat one narrow observation… # ⚓ Reason ☛ Justice_Jackson_Seems_to_Be_Charting_a_More Speech-Restriction-Tolerant_Approach⠀⇛ Justice Jackson, like Justice Breyer (whom she replaced and for whom she clerked), seems to be considering an approach that is more embracing of speech restrictions that she views as especially urgent—including perhaps ones that departs from precedents such as the Pentagon Papers case. # ⚓ Reason ☛ 'Hamstringing_the_Government':_A_Viral_Narrative Distorts_Ketanji_Brown_Jackson's_Understanding_of_Free Speech⠀⇛ If partisans have one thing in common, it's confirmation bias. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ US_Supreme_Court_hears_NRA_First_Amendment_case⠀⇛ The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in NRA v. Vullo on Monday. In this case, the NRA accuses a New York State official of improperly using regulatory authority to pressure banks and insurers to cut ties with the group in the aftermath of the Parkland High School shooting. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ US_Supreme_Court_hears_oral_arguments_in_free speech_challenge_to_Biden_administration_contact_with_social control_media_platforms⠀⇛ The US Supreme Court heard oral arguments Monday in a free speech challenge to the Biden administration’s encouragement of platforms to remove posts that officials deemed misinformation, including posts relating to elections and COVID-19. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Supreme_Court_tackles_controversial_topic of_Biden_administration-big_tech_cooperation⠀⇛ Both liberal and conservative justices at the Supreme Court today seemed wary of finding that the Biden administration acted improperly when it worked with Big Tech companies to censor online content it deemed “misinformation” regarding the 2020 presidential election, the COVID-19 pandemic, and other issues. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Online_publishers_hit_by_declining_Facebook (Farcebook)_and_advertising_revenue_in_2023⠀⇛ Audio and subscriptions were noted as bright spots in Q4 2023. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong_activists_urged_US,_Canada to_impose_sanctions_and_restrict_arms_sales_amid_2019 protests,_Jimmy_Lai_trial_hears⠀⇛ Hong Kong activists appealed to Canada and the US to restrict arms sales to the city and to impose sanctions on city officials over alleged “human rights abuses” during the 2019 protests and unrest, the national security trial of media mogul Jimmy Lai has heard. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ ‘Consent’_Searches_Aren’t_Doing_Anything_To Reduce_Crime⠀⇛ A lot of police work in the United States is just playing the odds. Roll the dice enough times, and you’re sure to come up a winner now and then. The odds really don’t matter because law enforcement agencies are playing with house money, so being wrong time and time again will never bankrupt them. # ⚓ RFA ☛ INTERVIEW:_‘We_have_zero_tolerance_for_the importation_of_products_made_with_forced_labor’⠀⇛ Robert Silvers of the US Department of Homeland Security discusses enforcement of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. # ⚓ EDRI ☛ Written_submission:_Civil_society_shows_evidence gaps_in_“Going_Dark”_group_proposal_for_access_to_data_for law_enforcement⠀⇛ On 28 February 2024, EDRi and its members submitted written comments on the work of the High-Level Group (HLG) on “access to data for effective law enforcement". This HLG was set up under the Swedish Presidency of the Council in 2023 to allegedly find solutions to law enforcement ‘modern challenges’ in the digital era. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Court_To_Cops:_There’s_No_‘Instinct_Exception’ For_Drug_Dogs_Handlers_Refuse_To_Handle⠀⇛ Officers who handle drug dogs like to claim they’re so highly skilled at animal handling they can recognize otherwise imperceptible moves by their animals as the dog “alerting,” giving them (and, more literally) their animals free rein to perform warrantless searches of vehicles. # ⚓ ACLU ☛ State_Legislative_Sessions:_How_They_Impact_Your Rights⠀⇛ State legislation is crucially connected to our civil liberties, and can either expand our rights or chip away at them. These bills touch nearly every aspect of our lives. From Roe v. Wade and the Dobbs case that overturned the right to an abortion, to Loving v. Virginia, which struck down laws banning interracial marriage, and Obergefell v. Hodges, which recognized marriage equality across the country — many Supreme Court cases that address all of our civil rights come from laws that were passed in state legislatures. § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ JUVE ☛ Patent_case_numbers_rising_at_UK_High_Court⠀⇛ According to civil justice statistics, the number of new patent monopoly cases which parties are filing at the first-instance UK High Court are rising once again. In 2023, parties filed 46 new patent monopoly actions. # § Software Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Unified Patents ☛ $2,000_for_Touchmusic_distribution patent_monopoly_prior_art⠀⇛ Unified Patents added a new PATROLL contest, with a $2,000 cash prize, seeking prior art on at least claims 1 and 2 of U.S._Patent 6,182,128, owned by Touchmusic Entertainment LLC, an NPE. o § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ TTAB Blog ☛ TTABlog_Test:_Are_Gummy_Vitamins_Related_to Personal_Care_Products_Under_Section_2(d)?⠀⇛ The USPTO refused to register the mark KUDO for "Gummy vitamins; Nutritional supplements in the form of gummies," finding confusion likely with the nearly identical mark KUDOS registered for "Hair shampoo, hair conditioner, soap for hands, face and body, skin/body moisturizer, skin/body lotion, shaving preparations, body/hand cream, skin cleansing cream, and bath gels/oil." Are the goods related? Do they travel through the same trade channels? How do you think this appeal came out?

It's called the Limerick Calendar because limericks are poems that have 5 lines to them. Considering the year is usually 365 days long, this means we can split the year into 73 weeks. 73 is just 1 week shy of a multiple of 12, which means we can have months that are almost exactly the same length with the exception of 1 extra week that needs to be inserted at some point. This system turns out to be pretty similar to the Paratheo-Anametamystikhood of Eris Esoteric (POEE) Calendar, which is described on page 00034 of the "Principia Discordia". My calendar has a few different rules, especially for leap year and the start of the year. # ⚓ Equinox⠀⇛ Yes, well, they do. So the shadow map on good ol' sunclock will flip to the other side. Which reminds me of Vi, having determined the day of the solstice using "first principles", i.e. a shadow casting stick and a ruler. # § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ 10_days_until_the_world_backup_day⠀⇛ Just a friendly reminder folks, you've got approximately 10 days to back up all your stuff. # ⚓ Spring_is_here!⠀⇛ ... and I rediscovered important PGP keys, certs and my key to Midnight! Shame on me for not noticing that my USB drive began to corrupt itself months ago and now rendered my keys useless. Luckily, all keys and certs were stored across a bunch of devices, so restoring them, alongside various other files, took less than an hour. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Interview_at_Geomob_Podcast⠀⇛ Earlier this week an episode of the Geomob Podcast was published where Steven Feldman interviews yours truly. It was a lot of fun to chat with Steven about Elastic, my experience in the geospatial industry, and Open Source in general. I could also advocate a bit about data privacy and digital identity which is a topic that has picked my interest even more lately with all the shit that is hitting that social network we all know about. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

There’s a lot. To start with, your favorite podcast host has gotten roped into doing development for the project. There’s a new Rust client, there’s a way to run the firmware on Linux Native, and there’s a shiny new web-based flasher tool! * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ 2024_Home_Sweet_Home_Automation:_A_DIY_SCADA_Smart Home⠀⇛ Supervisory control and data acquisition, or SCADA, systems sit in the background in industrial settings, performing all kinds of important jobs but in an ad-hoc setup, depending on the precise requirements of the installation. When we think about home automation systems, they’re pretty much the same deal: ad-hoc systems put together from off-the-shelf components and a few custom bits thrown in. [Stefan Schnitzer] clearly has significant knowledge of SCADA in an industrial setting and has carried this over into their home for their entry into the Hackaday 2024 Home Sweet Home Automation Contest. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ DIY_RC_Controller_Built_With_Old-School_Parts⠀⇛ Once upon a time, RC transmitters were expensive units that cost hundreds of dollars even at the low end. Now, you can get them pretty cheaply, or, you can choose to build your own. [Phytion] did just that. o ⚓ Manton Reece ☛ Threads_opt-in_vs._fediverse_migration⠀⇛ It is still early, and I think Threads has been very thoughtful about their approach. Account migration is an area that I hope they will consider more fully. There are ramifications for mixing accounts — some with fediverse support and some without — and long-term it becomes very complicated unless Threads goes all-in on the fediverse. o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ Recent_evolution_of_my_note_taking_systems⠀⇛ A year ago, I started sharing my note taking habits in my blog post The imperfect mess of note taking. At that time, my notes were all over the place. I had small things written here and there, used multiple analog and digital tools and had almost no structure or process. o ⚓ Wouter Groeneveld ☛ A_Quick_Site_Maintenance_Note⠀⇛ Ideally, I’d even like to take this further and move my VPS to our home and run everything myself. There’s something magical about virtual house visits. I’d more than happily take the risk of a higher latency and occasional outage into account. Some small personal websites are simply unavailable if there’s too little sun, such as Low Tech Magazine: [...] o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ CBC ☛ How_to_photograph_the_eclipse_without_frying_your phone⠀⇛ Though both Chidley and Moussette advise against using phones to photograph the eclipse, they acknowledge that people will probably try anyway and recommend taking precautions. During the partial phase of the eclipse as the moon crosses the sun, you'll need to use a solar filter to protect your phone's camera just as you'll need eclipse glasses to protect your eyes. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_Lunar_Odyssey:_Moon_Landings_From_The_1960s To_Today’s_Attempts⠀⇛ With the recent string of lunar landing attempts, it’s interesting to consider how much things have changed – or stayed the same – since the first soft landing attempts in the 1960s with the US Ranger and USSR Luna landers. During the 1950s the possibility of landing a spacecraft on the Moon’s surface was investigated and attempted by both the US and USSR. This resulted in a number of lunar lander missions in the 1960s, with the US’s Ranger 3 and 5 missing the Moon, Ranger 4 nearly missing it but instead crashing into the far side of the Moon, and eventually the USSR’s Luna 9 making the first touchdown on the lunar surface in 1966 after a string of USSR mission failures. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ RTL ☛ Last_link_to_education:_Afghan_girls_and_women_cling to_glitchy,_lonesome_online_learning⠀⇛ She hopes to save for a laptop but is forced to buy expensive mobile data packages that still don't guarantee a signal in the town of Ishkashim perched high in mountainous Badakhshan province. "If there were no [Internet] issues, it would be much easier," she told AFP by phone. "But it's better to carry on, instead of sitting and doing nothing." o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Matt Langford ☛ My_Top_5_Flashlights_to_Carry⠀⇛ One of the most common extra items is a flashlight. If you’re questioning the necessity of carrying a flashlight by asking, “Why not use the flashlight on your phone?” then you likely aren’t the individual who needs to carry a flashlight. But if you find yourself needing a legitimate standalone flashlight often (perhaps due to your job) or just want to see what it’s like to carry one, this list is for you. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ These_Keycaps_Are_100%_Recycled_Plastic⠀⇛ Artisan keycaps are generally meant to replace your Escape key, though they can be used anywhere you like (as long as they fit, of course). Keycap maker [tellybelly] of jankycaps has been experimenting with making keycaps out of 100% recycled plastic, and offers an interesting post detailing their development and production process. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ You_Should_Be_Allowed_To_Fix_McDonald’s_Ice Cream_Machines,_Say_Federal_Regulators⠀⇛ Editors Note: According to our infallible record keeping, this is the 50,000th post published on Hackaday! We weren’t sure this was the kind of milestone that required any drawn out navel-gazing on our part, but it does seem significant enough to point out. We didn’t pick any specific post to go out in this slot, but the fact that it ended up being a story about the right to repair ice cream machines seems suitably hacky for the occasion. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ New_Report_Shows_Cancer_Organization_Shares Lobbyists_with_Fossil_Fuel_Companies⠀⇛ One of the U.S.’s leading anticancer groups has hired a network of lobbyists that also works on behalf of the fossil fuel industry, according to a new report. The American Cancer Society’s Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), the advocacy arm of the American Cancer Society, shares lobbyists with 21 fossil fuel companies across 10 states. Those shared relationships are impeding action on climate change and contributing to increased health harms to the public, undercutting the health organization’s own mission, according to the report by F Minus, a nonprofit group that tracks fossil fuel lobbying. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Neuralink:_Elon_Musk's_Neuralink_shows_first brain-chip_patient_playing_online_chess⠀⇛ Noland Arbaugh, the 29-year-old patient who was paralyzed below the shoulder after a diving accident, played chess on his laptop and moved the cursor using the Neuralink device. The implant seeks to enable people to control a computer cursor or keyboard using only their thoughts. # ⚓ El País ☛ Air_pollution:_Only_5%_of_countries_meet_WHO recommendations_for_fine_particles⠀⇛ Only seven of the 127 countries analyzed by the Swiss air quality technology company IQAir in 2023 complied with the new safety limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO) for suspended particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter (known as PM2.5), a type of particulate matter deriving in part from fossil fuels and linked to around one million premature deaths each year worldwide. That only 5% of the states surveyed now meet these guidelines — which the WHO tightened in 2021 after surveying the scientific literature on the health effects of pollution — demonstrates the huge challenge nations face in making sure their citizens are not exposed to unsafe air. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ All_but_7_Countries_on_Earth_Have_Air Pollution_Above_WHO_Standard⠀⇛ Only 10 countries and territories out of 134 achieved the World Health Organization’s standards for a pervasive form of air pollution last year, according to air quality data compiled by IQAir, a Swiss company. The pollution studied is called fine particulate matter, or PM2.5, because it refers to solid particles less than 2.5 micrometers in size: small enough to enter the bloodstream. PM2.5 is the deadliest form of air pollution, leading to millions of premature deaths each year. # ⚓ The_Brownstone_Institute_embraces_old_antivax_lies_about measles⠀⇛ I had no idea who Alan Cassels was before yesterday, when I encountered him as apparently the newest addition to the stable of the far right wing antivax, antimask, anti-“lockdown” wingnuts at the “spiritual child of the Great Barrington Declaration” known as the Brownstone Institute. At least, I thought I didn’t know who he was. It turns out that I didn’t remember, because I discovered with a quick search of this blog that in 2012 I had actually written a post about him, taking him to task for the misinformation he had laid down in a post for the blog Pharmawatch Canada entitled Time to outlaw vaccine propaganda: Are we taking the easy way out by labeling vaccine questioners anti- science loonies?. Let’s just say that I applied some not-so-Respectful Insolence to him o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ The_Tech_Apocalypse_Panic_is_Driven_by_AI_Boosters, Military_Tacticians,_and_Movies⠀⇛ Whether these messages come from popular films like a War Games or The Terminator, reports that in digital simulations AI supposedly favors the nuclear option more than it should, or the idea that AI could assess nuclear threats quicker than humans—all of these scenarios have one thing in common: they end with nukes (almost) being launched because a computer either had the ability to pull the trigger or convinced humans to do so by simulating imminent nuclear threat. The purported risk of AI comes not just from yielding “control" to computers, but also the ability for advanced algorithmic systems to breach cybersecurity measures or manipulate and social engineer people with realistic voice, text, images, video, or digital impersonations.  But there is one easy way to avoid a lot of this and prevent a self-inflicted doomsday: don’t give computers the capability to launch devastating weapons. This means both denying algorithms ultimate decision making powers, but it also means building in protocols and safeguards so that some kind of generative AI cannot be used to impersonate or simulate the orders capable of launching attacks. It’s really simple, and we’re by far not the only (or the first) people to suggest the radical idea that we just not integrate computer decision making into many important decisions–from deciding a person’s freedom to launching first or retaliatory strikes with nuclear weapons. First, let’s define terms. To start, I am using "Artificial Intelligence" purely for expediency and because it is the term most commonly used by vendors and government agencies to describe automated algorithmic decision making despite the fact that it is a problematic term that shields human agency from criticism. What we are talking about here is an algorithmic system, fed a tremendous amount of historical or hypothetical information, that leverages probability and context in order to choose what outcomes are expected based on the data it has been fed. It’s how training algorithmic chatbots on posts from social media resulted in the chatbot regurgitating the racist rhetoric it was trained on. It’s also how predictive policing algorithms reaffirm racially biased policing by sending police to neighborhoods where the police already patrol and where they make a majority of their arrests. From the vantage of the data it looks as if that is the only neighborhood with crime because police don’t typically arrest people in other neighborhoods. As AI expert and technologist Joy Buolamwini has said, "With the adoption of AI systems, at first I thought we were looking at a mirror, but now I believe we're looking into a kaleidoscope of distortion... Because the technologies we believe to be bringing us into the future are actually taking us back from the progress already made." # ⚓ Axios ☛ How_scammers_are_using_AI_to_steal_your_tax returns⠀⇛ By the numbers: The IRS received 294,138 complaints of identity theft in 2023, and ended up flagging more than 1 million tax returns for possible identify fraud. Follow the money: Tax identity fraud "is a great crime, because so many tax refund dollars are transacted" and it's harder to spot suspicious behavior with a once-per-year transaction, Ari Jacoby, founder and CEO of cybersecurity firm Deduce, told Axios. # ⚓ Matt Webb ☛ Who_will_build_new_search_engines_for_new personal_AI_agents?_(Interconnected)⠀⇛ The definition of an “agent” is an autonomous AI that has access to “tools”. A tool is something like a web browser, or a calculator, or integration with a booking system, anything with an API (a machine interface). Then you know the way that ChatGPT has a turn- taking interaction, human then AI, human then AI, etc? Agents are different. You give the AI a goal, then you tell it to choose for itself which tool to use to get it closer to its goal… …and then you run it again, in a loop, automatically, until the AI says that it’s done. # ⚓ Society for Scholarly Publishing ☛ The_Latest_"Crisis"_-_Is the_Research_Literature_Overrun_with_ChatGPT-_and_LLM- generated_Articles?_>⠀⇛ Elsevier has been under the spotlight this month for publishing a paper that contains a clearly ChatGPT-written portion of its introduction. The first sentence of the paper’s Introduction reads, “Certainly, here is a possible introduction for your topic:…” To date, the article remains unchanged, and unretracted. A second paper, containing the phrase “I’m very sorry, but I don’t have access to real-time information or patient- specific data, as I am an AI language model” was subsequently found, and similarly remains unchanged. This has led to a spate of amateur bibliometricians scanning the literature for similar common AI-generated phrases, with some alarming results. But it’s worth digging a little deeper into these results to get a sense of whether this is indeed a widespread problem, and where such papers have made it through to publication, where the errors are occurring. # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ 'Enhanced'_Photos_of_Kate_Middleton_Are_Just More_AI_Bullshit⠀⇛ For much of the last week, a large part of both the conspiracy internet and the royal watching internet has been trying to determine if various blurry images and video screengrabs are of Duchess Kate Middleton, who has not been seen in public, or at all, since an apparent abdominal surgery in January. On Monday, the fervor entered a new phase when The Sun tabloid newspaper published video it says is of Kate and husband Prince William walking during a shopping trip. In response, multiple people have turned to so-called photo enhancement apps, which they believe prove the video isn’t actually of Kate at all. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Greggs_suffers_payment_meltdown⠀⇛ Images from the front line show shops with signs in the windows, saying: "Due to IT issues, we are unable to open until the issue is fixed," and "Shop will open late due to technical issues. You can order through click and collect or Uber Eats. Sorry for any inconvenience caused." The payment system outage at Greggs comes hot on the heels of similar issues affecting a host of brands last week. On Saturday, supermarket Sainsbury's said: "Due to an error with an overnight software update, we are experiencing issues with contactless payments and will not be able to deliver the vast majority of today's Groceries Online orders. Our stores are open as usual, accepting chip and pin and cash payments." # ⚓ Wired ☛ 8_Google_Employees_Invented_Modern_AI._Here’s_the Inside_Story⠀⇛ Approaching its seventh anniversary, the “Attention” paper has attained legendary status. The authors started with a thriving and improving technology—a variety of AI called neural networks—and made it into something else: a digital system so powerful that its output can feel like the product of an alien intelligence. Called transformers, this architecture is the not-so- secret sauce behind all those mind-blowing AI products, including ChatGPT and graphic generators such as Dall-E and Midjourney. Shazeer now jokes that if he knew how famous the paper would become, he “might have worried more about the author order.” All eight of the signers are now microcelebrities. “I have people asking me for selfies—because I’m on a paper!” says Llion Jones, who is (randomly, of course) name number five. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Dystopian_Google_AI_Tool_Turns_Still_Images_into Creepy_Talking_Videos⠀⇛ So, in other words, the goal of these researchers is absolutely to create realistic-looking fake people that interact in a "human"-feeling way with actual human beings on the other end. In the paper, the researchers propose that this model — which requires just one image and a desired audio clip as inputs — could be used to "enhance online communication, education, or personalized virtual assistants." Vlogger can also edit moving videos, which the researchers claim will "ease creative processes." o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ The Verge ☛ House_passes_bill_banning_sale_of_US personal_data_to_foreign_adversaries⠀⇛ The Protecting Americans’ Data from Foreign Adversaries Act, or HR 7520, would prohibit data brokers from selling Americans’ personally identifiable information to foreign adversaries, including countries like China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. Data brokers can face penalties from the Federal Trade Commission if they’re found to have sold sensitive information like location or health data to these countries. The bill sailed through the House, with all 414 lawmakers who voted opting to pass it. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Glassdoor_Wants_to_Know_Your_Real_Name⠀⇛ Using Glassdoor, the site famous for candid employee reviews that break through corporate facades, is less anonymous than it used to be. In July last year, the company added new social features integrated from Fishbowl, an app for work-related discussions acquired in 2021. Glassdoor has also changed its sign-up process to ask people to disclose their full name, job title, and employer; historically, it had required email addresses, but not names. In tests by WIRED, returning users who didn’t previously provide a full name are prompted to enter one by an impossible-to- dismiss pop-up that says, “Entering your real name is required to verify your profile but other users won't see your name unless you choose to share it.” # ⚓ EDRI ☛ European_Court_of_Human_Rights_confirms: weakening_of_encryption_can_violate_the_human_right_to privacy⠀⇛ In a milestone judgment - Podchasov v. Russia - the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has ruled that weakening of encryption can lead to general and indiscriminate surveillance of the communications of all users and violates the human right to privacy. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Mozambique:_Jihadists_from_abroad_pour into_Cabo_Delgado⠀⇛ Repeated clashes between armed insurgents and security forces have been rife in several coastal towns. As a result, around 100,000 people, including over 61,000 children, were displaced between early February and early March, according to the UN migration agency. Mozambique has been fighting the jihadist militants in the north since October 2017. The insurgent group was initially known as Ansar al-Sunna but proclaimed affiliation with the so- called Islamic State in 2019. It is known locally as al-Shabab, whose name comes from the Arabic word for youth but has no relation to Somalia's al- Shabab militia. # ⚓ ADF ☛ Somali_Military_Operations_in_Jubaland_Win_Back Territory_from_al-Shabaab⠀⇛ Somalia’s ongoing efforts to eradicate al-Shabaab coincide with the departure of troops from the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS), which includes troops from Burundi, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda. In the drawdown’s first two phases, 5,000 troops left Somalia and 13 military bases were turned over to Somali forces. Officials initially expected to complete the second phase of the ATMIS withdrawal at the end of September. However, ongoing al- Shabaab offensives, coupled with the retreat of forces from areas previously captured, persuaded the Somali government to ask for a delay in the drawdown. # ⚓ Deccan Chronicle ☛ India_to_Prosecute_35_Pirates_Who Hijacked_Ship_Off_Somalia:_Navy_Official⠀⇛ Indian navy commandos managed to release the Malta- flagged commercial ship MV Ruen on Saturday, which had been hijacked 450 nautical miles east of Socotra in the northern Arabian Sea by Somali pirates on Dec 14. It marked the first hijacking of a merchant ship by Somali pirates since 2017. At the peak of their attacks in 2011, Somali pirates cost the global economy an estimated $7 billion, including hundreds of millions of dollars in ransom payments. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ U.K._Bill_to_Send_Asylum_Seekers_to_Rwanda Is_Stalled_by_House_of_Lords⠀⇛ Prime Minister Rishi Sunak argues that the flights to Rwanda, a small country in East Africa, would be a vital deterrent that could stem the flow of tens of thousands of people who make dangerous crossings from France to Britain each year on small, often unseaworthy boats. # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ Truth_and_reconciliation:_New_study_finds people_less_likely_to_acknowledge_war_crimes_on_social media⠀⇛ Social media could prove to be as much a barrier to post-conflict reconciliation as it is a way of helping communities move forward, new research has claimed. A study has found that there are clear differences between how people discuss the legacy of war in face-to-face situations compared to those interactions on platforms such as Facebook and X. # ⚓ Taylor Francis Group ☛ Full_article:_Social_Media, Stereotypes,_and_the_Acknowledgement_of_War_Crimes⠀⇛ Human rights activists increasingly employ social media to promote post-conflict justice and reconciliation. This study asks what role social media play in facilitating the acknowledgement of war crimes committed by members of one’s ethnicity and what the implications of mediated visibility are. It finds that people are less willing to acknowledge ingroup responsibility for war crimes on social media because they fear being negatively stereotyped by foreign audiences and reputationally undermined. The study sheds light on the unintended negative consequences of mediated visibility of war crimes and counters presumptions of digital universalism showing that implications of visibility are context dependent. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ U.N._Has_Flown_$2.9B_in_Cash_to_Afghanistan Since_Taliban_Seized_Control⠀⇛ The United Nations has delivered more than $2.9 billion in cash to Afghanistan since the Taliban seized control, resulting in the flow of U.S. funds to the extremist group, according to a recent government report. The U.N. deposits the cash into a private Afghan bank and disburses funds to the agency’s aid organizations and nonprofit humanitarian groups. But the money does not stop there, the report found. Some winds up at the central bank of Afghanistan, which is under the control of the Taliban. The group took over the country after the withdrawal of U.S. forces in August 2021. # ⚓ US SIGAR ☛ Cash_Shipments_to_Afghanistan:_The_UN_Has Purchased_and_Transported_More_than_$2.9_Billion_to Afghanistan_to_Implement_Humanitarian_Assistance⠀⇛ Lastly, SIGAR found that the Taliban benefits from the cash shipments. UN entities and UN-partnered PIOs and NGOs receiving cash via the UN’s cash shipments use either U.S. dollars or afghanis to fund their operations. When these groups require afghanis, they solicit bids from private banks to convert the shipped U.S. currency. However, SIGAR found that many private banks do not maintain enough afghanis to exchange for large amounts of U.S. dollars. As a result, the bank typically uses UN-supplied U.S. dollars to purchase local currency from the Taliban-controlled DAB, through currency auctions. This has led DAB, and thereby the Taliban, to accumulate a large supply of U.S. dollars through the conversion process of dollars for afghanis. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Surveillance_has_a_body_count:_CBP_reports_895 migrant_deaths_in_2022⠀⇛ Thirty years later, the plan has borne out, though it hasn’t actually reduced migration. Instead, as the 1994 plan predicted, it just shifted the location of crossings. Surveillance tools allow Border Patrol to track migrants through vast expanses of the border without actually having to be there — the agency considers them a “force multiplier.” But the expansion of CBP’s surveillance apparatus has come at a significant human cost. A 2019 study by researchers at the University of Arizona found a “significant correlation between the location of border surveillance technology, the routes taken by migrants, and the locations of recovered human remains in the southern Arizona desert.” # ⚓ The Hill ☛ Senate_briefed_on_TikTok_risks,_mulls_potential ban⠀⇛ Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Mark Warner (D- Va.) said he is trying to get information declassified about risks posed by TikTok to better inform the public. His aim to declassify some of the information is part of his broader push for the Senate to pass a bill that would force TikTok’s Chinese-based parent company ByteDance to sell the app or face a ban in the U.S., following a broad bipartisan vote for the legislation in the House last week. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ The_Founders_Would_Have_Been_Worried_About TikTok⠀⇛ During the Constitutional Convention in 1787, the Framers were quite worried that foreign powers would exploit America’s open form of government to serve their own interests. At the time, the United States was small and weak compared with the powerhouses of France and England, and the Framers feared that favors and financing could seduce officeholders. Alexander Hamilton cautioned that “foreign powers also will not be idle spectators. They will interpose, the confusion will increase, and a dissolution of the Union ensue.” The Constitution therefore forbids foreigners from running for Congress until they have been U.S. citizens for seven years, and famously prohibits anyone but a natural-born citizen from being president. Elbridge Gerry, the great champion of the Bill of Rights, argued at the Constitutional Convention that “foreign powers will intermeddle in our affairs, and spare no expence to influence them. Persons having foreign attachments will be sent among us & insinuated into our councils, in order to be made instruments for their purposes. Every one knows the vast sums laid out in Europe for secret services.” # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ It_Appears_Users_Are_Getting_Bored_With_TikTok⠀⇛ We’ve been covering many stories about a potential TikTok ban, including how unconstitutional it clearly is, how pointless it clearly is, and how even those who back it don’t seem to have a good explanation of why, beyond some vague handwaving about “China.” # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ TikTok_in_US_under_pressure:_Who's_in_line to_buy_it?⠀⇛ This isn't TikTok's first time on the possible selling block. Donald Trump tried with an executive order to force ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, to sell the subsidiary to an American owner back in 2020. It seemed a deal with Oracle was close, but those efforts failed, as did an attempt to keep the app out of app stores. Since then TikTok says it has gone to great lengths to delete the data on American users from ByteDance servers and move all that information to US-based servers, a move it calls Project Texas. This should in theory keep the data out of the hands of Chinese surveillance. # ⚓ India Times ☛ ByteDance_researcher_wrongly_added_to_AI safety_groupchat:_US_standards_body⠀⇛ A researcher from TikTok's Chinese owner ByteDance was wrongly added to a group chat for American artificial intelligence safety experts last week, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) said Monday. The researcher was added to a Slack instance for discussions between members of NIST's U.S. Artificial Intelligence Safety Institute Consortium, according to a person familiar with the matter. # ⚓ Atlantic Council ☛ Break_up_TikTok,_arm_Ukraine⠀⇛ Regarding Beijing, the assessment underscores China’s growing efforts online, resembling the long-standing Moscow playbook, “to exploit perceived US societal divisions . . . for influence operations.” That includes experimentation with artificial intelligence. TikTok accounts run by a Chinese government propaganda arm “reportedly targeted candidates from both political parties during the US midterm election cycle in 2022,” it notes, something the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab was the first to show through an open-source investigation. # ⚓ Axios ☛ TikTok_hawks_hope_intel_briefing_will_scare_Senate into_action⠀⇛ What to watch: The bill's proponents are hoping the briefing makes clear the unique threat of TikTok because of its ties to China — separating it from broader concerns with social media companies and data privacy, according to one GOP Senate aide familiar with the dynamics. • Lawmakers on the far left and the far right have raised concerns about focusing only on TikTok and not the broader social media space. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ The_TikTokifcation_of_YouTube_and_Vice Versa⠀⇛ In 2023, TikTok became the fourth largest social network in the world—behind Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. It has its sights set on replacing YouTube as the premiere video destination—which it is already achieving among the youngest age cohorts (13-25). What does that mean for the music industry—which depends heavily on TikTok for music discovery? # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Senators_Receive_Briefing_on_TikTok_By National_Security_Officials⠀⇛ The classified briefing will be hosted by chairs of the Commerce and Intelligence committees—Senators Mark Warner (D-VA) and Maria Cantwell (D-WA) alongside Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Ted Cruz (R-TX). The Senate is now considering how to proceed following a vote in the House last week that would force Chinese company ByteDance to divest from TikTok. # > # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ Women_and_Violent_Extremism⠀⇛ According to (Oxfam Policy and Practice, 2017), “currently, women are on the frontlines of violent extremism, as recruiters, propagators, suicide bombers, and targets”. Such example as explained by, David Cook is, the “acceptability and prevalence of women waging jihad in Islamist terrorist groups and establishes that women are more visible as suicide bombers in more secular contexts (Chechnya and Palestine”. These overt acts of engaging as suicide bombers or terror leaders however is a gradual and emerging development because in history the instances were where women engaged in supplementary roles and functions rather than directly involved in extremism and terrorism. As cited by Mahmood, (Elshtain, Jean Bethke. 1987), “In the context of Islamist terrorism, the role of men encapsulates participation in violent jihad to defend the ideology or goals of their organisations, while the women’s part is to take up a supportive position by assisting the men in defending and facilitating violence through supplementary functions”. The reasons pointed out by Mahmood are that there are strategic benefits of women’s involvement since Women deployed as attackers allow these groups to gain publicity or ‘renown’ as referred to by Louise Richardson. Further, the inclusion of women leads to the longevity of the group since giving birth increases the multi-generational impact of the group. # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ One_in_five_Muslim_prisoners_is_white_as 'gangs_drive_conversions'⠀⇛ Figures highlight concerns that gangs in some jails are ordering prisoners to become Muslims or face violence # ⚓ [Old] The Telegraph UK ☛ Islamic_hate_literature distributed_in_British_prisons,_leaked_report_finds⠀⇛ Earlier this year it was suggested that all convicted Jihadi terrorists could be placed in a single top security prison in a measure designed to prevent them from spreading their propaganda to other inmates. Policy for the past 50 years has been to disperse dangerous inmates around eight jails. # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russian_schools_hold_extracurricular_lesson and_quiz_game_based_on_Tucker_Carlson’s_Putin_interview —_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ European Commission ☛ Commissioner_Olivér_Várhelyi's press_statement_during_the_joint_press_conference following_the_EU-Ukraine_Association_Council⠀⇛ # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Latvia_backs_Czech_munitions-for-Ukraine initiative⠀⇛ On Tuesday, March 19, at the meeting of the Ukrainian Defense Contact Group in Ramstein, Germany, the Defense Ministries of Latvia and the Czech Republic signed a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in the field of military-technical assistance to Ukraine, which provides for the purchase of large- caliber ammunition for Ukraine's needs. # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Repeated_surveys_confirm_most_basements_are not_fit_for_shelters_in_Latvia⠀⇛ According to the State Land Service (VZD), there are about 30,000 buildings with basements in Latvia that could theoretically be used as shelters. Most of the buildings with basements are apartment blocks, but so far only a few have been surveyed, adapted and are ready to accommodate people in case of danger, Latvian Radio reported on March 20.Although two years ago - right after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine - municipalities set to work to identify possible shelters, guidelines have only now been developed, so the buildings will be surveyed again. Shelters that meet the minimum requirements will then be compiled into a digital map, while financial support for adapting basements will be available for the rest. The type of support and funding options will be decided in the coming months. # ⚓ Atlantic Council ☛ Peacemaking_through_curbing Russian_oil_and_gas_exports⠀⇛ As Russia’s aggression in Ukraine continues, Western governments have available tools to limit the Kremlin's war budget. They can do this by plugging the gaps in sanctions against Russian oil and gas exports—and severing a critical revenue stream supporting the Kremlin’s war machine. # ⚓ France24 ☛ EU_to_cap_imports_of_Ukrainian_poultry_and grains_to_appease_farmers⠀⇛ EU member states and lawmakers on Wednesday reached a deal to cap duty-free imports of some Ukrainian grains, which were allowed in the wake of Russia’s invasion but have drawn fierce protests from farmers in the bloc. # ⚓ LRT ☛ Lithuania_approves_€35m_for_Czech_initiative_to buy_ammo_for_Ukraine⠀⇛ The Lithuanian government on Wednesday approved 35 million euros for the Czech-led multinational initiative to procure and send ammunition to Ukraine. # ⚓ LRT ☛ Funds_from_frozen_Russian_assets_could_reach Ukraine_in_July_–_EU_commissioner⠀⇛ As Brussels plans to propose that EU countries use interest generated from frozen Russian assets to arm Ukraine, Lithuanian EU commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius says the first funds could reach Kyiv as early as July. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Russian_Filmmaker_Gets_3_Years_In_Prison_Over Posts_About_War_In_Ukraine⠀⇛ A Russian documentary director was sentenced on March 20 to three years in prison by a court in St. Petersburg on a charge of distributing false information about the country's military. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ European_Commission_Says_First_$4.9_Billion Released_From_Ukraine_Aid_Fund⠀⇛ European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the first $4.9 billion payment in financial aid has been made to Ukraine from a support fund set up to help Kyiv as it battles invading Russian forces. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Moldovan-Born_Man_Loses_Russian_Citizenship Over_Covering_Ukraine_War⠀⇛ A rights group has published a document from the Russian Interior Ministry about the cancellation of the Russian citizenship of Aleksandr Somryakov, a Moldovan-born man who was sentenced to six years in prison in April 2023 for publishing online reports about Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Ukraine_Hails_EU_Move_To_Extend_Suspension_Of Import_Duties⠀⇛ Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal has welcomed a provisional decision by the EU to extend by one year the suspension on import duties on Ukrainian agricultural products announced early on March 20. # ⚓ teleSUR ☛ The_Russian_Army_Protected_the_Elections From_Ukrainian_Attacks⠀⇛ Ukraine used at least 419 drones and 67 missiles against military and civilian installations. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ From_Russia,_Elaborate_Tales_of_Fake Journalists⠀⇛ As the Ukraine war grinds on, the Kremlin has created increasingly complex fabrications online to discredit Ukraine’s leader and undercut aid.

According to the CEC’s preliminary data, Putin received a record-breaking 87.28 percent of the vote with an equally record- breaking voter turnout of 77.44 percent. Surprisingly, the CEC continues to publish data on individual polling stations, making it possible to piece together how the authorities manufactured these unprecedented results. Peculiarities in the vote count itself paint a clear picture of what appears to be the most fraudulent election in Russia’s modern history. Meduza examines the evidence. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Amazon_says_plastic_packaging_can_be_recycled._It usually_isn’t⠀⇛ Jan Dell, an independent chemical engineer and founder of the environmental nonprofit The Least Beach Cleanup, has been deploying her own trackers too. Since December 2022, she hasn’t traced a single bundle of film labeled for store drop-off to U.S. facilities that can turn the material into new bags. Twelve bundles have been sent to a landfill or waste station, and one to an incinerator. Four appeared to have traveled to Mexico, Vietnam, or Malaysia, countries that generally lack adequate recycling infrastructure. “They’re absolutely lying with these labels,” Dell said. The store drop-off system has “never worked, it was never true.” # ⚓ PIRG ☛ Truth_in_recycling⠀⇛ Plastic packaging used to ship items to our homes is a major contributor to the plastic waste crisis. Nearly every time we order something online, we’re confronted with a pile of plastic — plastic envelopes, bubble wrap, and foam. When you multiply that by the millions and millions of online purchases made everyday, you get an e-commerce plastic problem that generated 3.4 billion pounds of plastic waste globally in 2021 alone. As one of the largest retailers in the world, Amazon is a major contributor to this plastic problem. A report from the ocean conservation group Oceana, estimated that Amazon alone generated 709 million pounds of plastic waste globally in 2021– enough to circle the Earth more than 800 times in the form of air pillows. Amazon packaging is not as recyclable as the company claims. Amazon claims that much of the packaging the company uses to deliver goods is recyclable, either through curbside recycling programs for their cardboard packaging or store drop-off for its plastic packaging. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ Russia's_Non-Election⠀⇛ Vladimir Putin staged an elaborate charade—so why did some Western media outlets play along? o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ The Scotsman ☛ Beach_litter_and_sewage_debris_on_Scotland shores_sparks_renewed_calls_for_action_on_plastics_and disposables⠀⇛ The amount of litter found strewn on Scottish beaches in 2023 was up by 17 per cent on the previous year, surveys have revealed. Results from Beachwatch clean-ups run by the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) show an average of 188 items were found on every 100m stretch of Scotland’s coastline searched. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ UN_warns_of_e-waste_'catastrophe'⠀⇛ The United Nations warned on Wednesday that waste from electronic devices is creating an environmental catastrophe. A joint report by the UN's International Telecommunications Union and the research arm UNITAR said recycling lags well behind the mass of e-waste being created, including discarded mobile phones, computers, televisions, and other devices. # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ Crawfish_could_transfer_ionic_lithium from_their_environment_into_food_chain⠀⇛ "As aquatic organisms, crawfish can take up large amounts of lithium dissolved in water. Because other creatures—including people—eat crawfish, looking at them allows us to see how lithium moves through the food chain and potentially into us," says Joseph Kazery, a professor of biology. Two undergraduate students in Kazery's lab at Mississippi College, Andrew Doubert and Javian Ervin are presenting the results of their experiments on the uptake of ionic lithium by different crawfish organs, as well as the impact of seasonal temperatures. "If crawfish are raised near a landfill or a polluted site, runoff could expose them to lithium, with effects we don't yet fully understand," Ervin says. "I myself eat crawfish, so this issue is important to me." Lithium contamination is not new. Even before lithium-ion batteries became widespread, lithium was, and still is, used as a medication to treat mood disorders. It enters the water supply in those applications because typical wastewater treatment does not remove drug contaminants. # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ Trackers_Placed_in_Amazon_Packaging_Reveal_What Really_Happens_to_Store_Drop-Off_Recycling⠀⇛ For years now, Amazon’s plastic bags, bubble-lined mailers, and air pillows have featured the ubiquitous “chasing arrows” recycling symbol along with the words “store drop-off.” The idea is simple: Since most curbside recycling programs don’t accept this type of plastic — it’s too expensive to process and can clog machines — consumers can instead leave it at retail stores across the country. From there, this plastic, known as “film,” will go to a specialized facility and be turned into new products. The problem, however, is that the system doesn’t seem to be working. # ⚓ El País ☛ WMO_warns_ocean_temperatures_over_the_past_12 months_have_been_‘off_the_charts’⠀⇛ The average ocean temperature is now half a degree above normal, taking as a reference point the average between the period 1991-2020. Earlier this March, when the absolute daily average temperature record was broken by reaching 21.09 degrees, the anomaly was almost one degree, according to data from the Copernicus Climate Pulse service, which focuses on the analysis of sea surface temperature for the coordinates 60°S-60°N, i.e., excluding polar areas. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Planet_'on_the_brink'_as_UN_agency_warns_new heat_records_are_likely_in_2024⠀⇛ "There is a high probability that 2024 will again break the record of 2023", WMO climate monitoring chief Omar Baddour told reporters.

They also urge web users to sign a petition denouncing the proposed Flipper ban. “We believe that proposals like this are harmful to security and slow down technological progress,” the post reads. “They are usually made by those who do not really understand how security works and will do nothing to solve the car theft problem.” # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Orcas_Have_Learned_Brutal_New_Hunting Techniques_to_Feed_in_The_Open_Sea⠀⇛ To hunt the sea lions, multiple orcas surrounded a prey animal, taking turns rushing in and ramming it or hitting it with their head or tail. They would also toss the sea lion into the air. Once the sea lion was dead, the group would divide and eat the animal, or carry it around for a while. For elephant seals, the technique varied a little, with the orcas surrounding the animal, hitting it with their tails, then grabbing it by the fins to shake it. Hunts of gray whale calves were often initiated and led by adult female orcas. The group would chase the mother gray whale and calf until the calf started to tire. Then, the orcas worked to separate the calf, coming between it and the mother and grabbing on to the calf to drag it away. The hunt would get pretty brutal, with the orcas ramming and biting the calf, and leaping on top of its blowhole to drown it. For dolphins, the hunts were highly coordinated, with the orcas flanking a large school of dolphins to separate out individuals. Once a dolphin was vulnerable, the orcas would ram it from underneath to fling it into the air, or grab it and drag it under the water, until it was dead. Similar techniques were used to hunt porpoises. # ⚓ The Revelator ☛ The_Shocking_Truth_About_Sloths⠀⇛ # § Overpopulation⠀➾ # ⚓ El País ☛ Humanity_will_shrink_in_the_future:_97%_of countries_will_experience_negative_growth_by_2100⠀⇛ It hasn’t started happening yet, but the trend seems unstoppable: humanity is shrinking. By 2050, over three-quarters (155 out of 204) of the world’s countries will have fertility rates so low that they will not be able to maintain their population size. And this trend will be nearly complete by 2100, when 97% of countries (198 out of 204) will be in the same situation. Deaths will outnumber births, and there will be fewer and fewer people in the world. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ German_birth_rate_drops_steeply against_backdrop_of_unease⠀⇛ The birth rate fell from 1.57 children per woman in 2021 to around 1.36 in autumn 2023.

No explanation. No clues. Nothing. I tapped the chat button on my tax software for help, expecting to be sucked into customer-service hell. Instead, a real IRS employee answered my question in less than two minutes. The program is not TurboTax, or any one of its many competitors that will give you the white-glove treatment only after you pony up. It is Direct File, a new pilot program made by the IRS. It walks you through each step in mostly simple language (in English or Spanish, on your phone or laptop), automatically saves your progress, shows you a checklist of what you have left to do, flags potential errors, and calculates your return. These features are already part of TurboTax, but Direct File will not push you to an AI chatbot that flubs basic questions.

So, I was surprised, but I immediately understood why we both adopted the same big picture framework to understand the economy, and similar language to share our understanding with working people. As a labor educator, I’ve found that the big- picture framework is as important, maybe even more important, than facts and figures. In our complex world, problems hit working people from all angles — job insecurity, job loss, the high costs of housing, discrimination, kids who can’t afford to move out, and on and on. To make sense of this mosaic, a framework helps hold the pieces together. In our educational program we see clearly that working people are hungry for a coherent explanation that connects the dots. And without a compelling alternative, the pressing need for frameworks can lead towards conspiracy theories. Brown and I are using the Wall Street War on Workers big picture framework for four reasons. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Intel_wins_$19.5B_in_CHIPS_Act_funding_and loans_for_fab_network_expansion⠀⇛ Intel Corp. is poised to receive as much as $19.5 billion in federal funding and loans to expand its domestic chipmaking infrastructure.

Reporting directly to Nadella, Suleyman will be responsible for expanding a consumer AI business. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Microsoft_Hires_Influential_AI_Figure Mustafa_Suleyman_to_Head_up_Consumer_AI_Business⠀⇛ Suleyman, co-founder of AI research lab DeepMind, said Tuesday in a LinkedIn post that he’ll become CEO of Microsoft AI, leading all of the company’s consumer AI products and research, including its generative AI service Copilot as well as its Bing search engine and Edge browser. Microsoft is also hiring the chief scientist at Suleyman’s AI company, Inflection, and several of its top engineers and researchers, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a blog post. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Intel_to_Receive_$8.5_Billion_in_Grants_to Build_Chip_Plants⠀⇛ The award, to be announced by President Biden at a plant in Arizona, is the biggest the government has made under a new program that aims to rebuild the nation’s semiconductor manufacturing industry. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ White_House_Calls_on_States_to_Boost Cybersecurity_in_Water_Sector ⠀⇛ Water and wastewater systems across the US are targeted with disabling cyberattacks that could “disrupt the critical lifeline of clean and safe drinking water,” the White House says in a letter (PDF) to US governors requesting their partnership. Threats to water systems, the letter reads, include Iranian and Chinese state-sponsored threat actors, which have carried out malicious cyberattacks targeting the US critical infrastructure. # ⚓ Vox ☛ Reddit’s_biggest_risk_ahead_of_its_IPO_is_its_own users⠀⇛ All eyes are on the subreddit r/wallstreetbets ahead of its parent site’s IPO, which could provide an early window into how the user base and investors are responding. The subreddit has previously made and ruined fortunes, temporarily driving up the price of stock in down-and-out companies like GameStop, the movie theater chain AMC, and Y2K smartphone maker BlackBerry. # ⚓ [Repeat] Press Gazette ☛ Facebook_referrals_drop_leads_to decline_in_mobile_off-platform_revenues⠀⇛ Off-platform revenues on mobile fell by 86% in the final quarter of 2023 among a sample of UK online news publishers, according to a new survey. The year-on-year decline was attributed to Facebook’s decision to deprioritise news in user feeds. # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ French_Regulators_Fine_Google $272_Million_in_Dispute_With_News_Publishers⠀⇛ France’s competition watchdog hit Google on Wednesday with another big fine tied to a long- running dispute over payments to French publishers for their news. The French Competition Authority said it issued the 250 million euro ($272 million) penalty because of Google's failure to comply with some commitments it made in a negotiating framework. # ⚓ Daniel Pocock ☛ How_much_does_Google_pay_to_destroy_a_man and_his_family?⠀⇛ I've started creating this page to keep track of the kill money that I feel Google is laundering through the bank accounts of Software in the Public Interest, Inc and the Debian "Project". This page may be updated from time to time as more of this dirty money is uncovered. On 20 March 2013, a report in the French senate expressed great concern that European countries are becoming digital colonies under the reign of foreign companies like Google. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ JURIST ☛ US_Supreme_Court_hears_oral_arguments_on_Texas councilwoman_First_Amendment_retaliatory_arrest_case⠀⇛ The US Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday on the case Gonzalez v. Trevino, which concerns the arrest of a Castle Hills, Texas councilwoman who argues that she was arrested in retaliation for her critical speech about the city’s government. The case is an appeal from the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which ruled against the councilwoman. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Top_Chinese_TV-maker_wants_Beijing_to ‘improve’_censorship⠀⇛ Another suggestion was to foster privately funded film and television product houses, with the goal of making some globally competitive. That's a playbook China used to propel outfits like Tencent to strong positions in the global gaming market, even as Beijing continues to frown on domestic gamers – especially minors. # ⚓ Craig Murray ☛ Scotland’s_Hate_Speech_Act_and_Abuse_of Process⠀⇛ On 1 April Scotland’s notorious Hate Crime Act comes into force. I have explained before why it is so noxious. It has been condemned by every civil liberties body you can think of. Police Scotland have made matters still worse by telling their officers that the measure of whether a Hate Crime has been committed should be whether the person reporting it feels offended or threatened, and that the officer should make no objective judgment as to whether that is reasonable from the facts of the case. But I want to concentrate on one very specific aspect of this legislation. It will apply to social media, and indeed it is highly probable that a very significant proportion of the “Hate Speech” will be found on social media. It is a well establsihed principle in Scots law that anything published on the internet, which can be read in Scotland, is deemed to be published in Scotland. The act of publication is not deemed to be the person actually publishing the item, let us say in Tahiti. The act of publication is deemed to be the reader opening the item on their device in Scotland. [...] But the internet posed a dilemma for the courts. Either they had to accept a massive increase in freedom of speech, or claim jurisdiction over the entire internet. How do you enforce an injunction if somebody can simply publish the information from their home in Tahiti and you cannot touch them? Needless to say, the stupid and arrogant judges of Scotland went for the universal jurisdiction path and not the freedom path (to be plain, so have the courts in England and Wales). o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ VOA News ☛ South_African_Media_Outlet_Files_Complaint_Over Op-Ed⠀⇛ One of South Africa’s leading news websites has filed a complaint with the country’s Press Council, alleging that another media company is trying to discredit reporters who investigated the owner's business practices. News24 and industry analysts claim that the Independent Media group is failing to respect the usual “firewall” that exists between owners and editorial departments. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ DRC_journalist_freed_after_serving_six_month_jail sentence⠀⇛ Bujakera’s lawyer Yana Ndikulu announced the news in a statement to the journalist’s employer Reuters while fellow DRC journalist Patient Ligodi confirmed the news in a post on social media platform X. Bujakera, who was originally detained in pre-trial custody back in September of last year, was ultimately sentenced to six months in jail and a fine of one million Congolese Francs ($364). Prosecutors who had been seeking a 20-year sentence against the journalist appealed the sentence before dropping their petition and allowing the beleaguered journalist to go free. # ⚓ CPJ ☛ CPJ_calls_on_Senegal’s_presidential_candidates_for press_freedom_reforms_as_5_journalists_freed⠀⇛ In recent years, CPJ has tracked a decline in press freedom in Senegal, characterized by repeated arrests and prosecutions of journalists, attacks by security forces on reporters covering protests, [Internet] shutdowns, and other censorship tactics. CPJ’s 2023 prison census placed Senegal among the top five jailers of journalists in Africa. On March 12, Senegalese authorities released five journalists jailed since last year, including Ndèye Maty Niang, also known as Maty Sarr Niang, and four journalists from the Allô Senegal media outlet who continue to face prosecution, according to Niang and Famara Faty, a lawyer for the Allô Senegal journalists, who both spoke to CPJ. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Reporters_Without_Borders_Welcomes_Kyrgyz_Decision To_Stop_Blocking_Of_Kloop_Website⠀⇛ Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has welcomed a decision by a court in Bishkek to cancel a move by Kyrgyzstan's Culture Ministry to block the Russian- language website of the independent media outlet Kloop. # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ Journalist_Levent_Gültekin_given_sentence_for 'insulting_the_president'⠀⇛ Reporters Without Borders (RSF) Turkey Representative and bianet Media Freedom Rapporteur Erol Önderoğlu stated that Gültekin is the 75th journalist convicted of insulting President Erdoğan since his election in 2014. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Detained_Congolese_Journalist_Bujakera_Has_Been Freed,_Lawyer_Says⠀⇛ The prosecutor in the case earlier this month had asked the court in Kinshasa to sentence Bujakera to 20 years in prison. Local and international rights groups including Reporters Without Borders and Amnesty International had condemned Bujakera's detention, calling it an attack on press freedom. Reuters had also called for his release. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ The Hill ☛ Homeland_Security’s_broken_terrorist_prevention program_needs_to_end⠀⇛ Outside studies, meanwhile, have found that the $20 million a year program does nothing for national security, promotes junk science, discriminates against communities of color and sometimes funds activities that have more to do with shaping societal views than preventing terrorism. Yet DHS has again asked Congress for $20 million to fund the program. In the coming days, when lawmakers vote on the Department’s budget, they should pull the plug on this harmful initiative. # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ Finland’s_Right-Wing_Government_Is Trying_to_Crush_Labor⠀⇛ Proposed labor reforms [sic] in Finland have sparked strikes, shutting down everything from ports to kindergartens. The right-wing government refuses to negotiate in its drive to dismantle the Finnish model of collective bargaining. # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ Girls_Do_Porn_Ringleader_Pleads_Not_Guilty⠀⇛ Michael James Pratt, the ringleader of the sex trafficking enterprise Girls Do Porn, which forced and coerced dozens of women into having sex on camera, was extradited to the U.S. and pleaded not guilty in federal court this week. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Nvidia_powers_AI_nurses_Hippocratic_AI⠀⇛ Hippocratic directly promotes how it can undercut the living wages of real nurses as a feature, not a bug. One page of the company’s website compares a human nurse’s $90 per hour salary to an AI agent’s $9 an-hour running costs. Hippocratic claims its AI nurses outperform human nurses regarding bedside manner, education, and narrowly miss on satisfaction, according to a survey. # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ Get_Capitalists’_Grubby_Hands_Off_Our Hobbies⠀⇛ A critical reflection on the hobby, as “productive leisure,” does not mean the uncritical embrace of doing nothing. Besides viewing it as a form of organized freedom, Adorno also didn’t like the hobby because the term implies a limited degree of seriousness. In other words, it means that you shouldn’t take your activity “too seriously” and that you voluntarily remain an “amateur.” Adorno himself passionately composed and listened to music and therefore viewed the word “hobby” as a derogatory way of talking about these activities. Reflecting on the seemingly innocuous theme of the hobby ultimately leads to an important question: What would leisure look like if it was no longer shaped by the dynamics of exploited and alienated labor? For the Left, establishing nonexploitative labor and more control in the workplace also implies the struggle for sufficient and equal free time for all. And it is not too utopian to speculate that in such truly free time — that could be spent on serious pursuits, or just relaxation — the classical “hobby” might just lose its appeal as a refuge from the horrors of modern work. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Court_Tells_FBI_It_Can’t_Just_Take_A_US_Private Vault_Customer’s_Money_Without_Explaining_Its_Actions⠀⇛ US Private Vaults is a private company, in multiple senses of the word. Despite the use of the acronym “US,” US Private Vaults is not a government entity. The service it offers aligns roughly with storage services federally insured banks offer: a secure place to hold valuables that is only accessible by those who have keys to the safety deposit boxes. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Supreme_Court_Shrugs_Off_Opportunity_To_Overturn Fifth_Circuit’s_Batshit_Support_Of_Texas_Drag_Show_Ban⠀⇛ The laziest court in the land has again decided it’s not worth its time to undo another horrible decision issued by an appellate court that far too often feels the Fifth (Circuit) is superior to the First (Amendment). # ⚓ Papers Please ☛ It’s_not_a_crime_not_to_show_ID⠀⇛ In September of 2023, in a case that originated in Huntsville, Alabama, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that “It was… clearly established at the time of Mr. Edgar’s arrest that [a police officer] could not demand he produce physical identification. And because Officer McCabe’s demands for an ‘ID’ or a ‘driver’s license’ went beyond what the statute and state law required of Mr. Edger, she violated clearly established law. Under this set of facts and these precedents, no reasonable officer could have believed there was probable cause to arrest Mr. Edger for obstructing governmental operations by violating [Alabama Code]  § 15-5-30.” Apparently, the police in Andalusia, Alabama didn’t understand this already clearly-established state and Federal law, and didn’t get any training about this decision. On February 23, 2024, a police officer in Andalusia arrested Ms. Twyla Stallworth in the doorway of her own house for declining to show ID and (correctly) telling the officer that she wasn’t required to show ID, least of all in her own home. “Provide ID or go to jail,” arresting officer John G. Barton of the Andalusia Police told Ms. Stallworth. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ How_NY’s_Guardianship_System_Can_Be_Fixed⠀⇛ Three decades ago, New York’s guardianship system was in desperate need of an overhaul. Investigators had found that the legal arrangements, which were supposed to protect people who could not care for themselves, had actually deprived individuals of their rights and were poorly monitored, enabling guardians to abuse, neglect and defraud those under their care. In response, state lawmakers passed progressive legislation to codify wards’ civil liberties and safeguard their welfare. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ The_[Internet]_revolution happening_in_Olievenhoutbosch⠀⇛ What many readers may find surprising is that Riot Network, which is deploying the network, is an entirely for-profit commercial venture. And its founders and backers – among them former Dimension Data executive and Sentech CEO Setumo Mohapi – believe that this, along with direct community involvement, has been key in delivering cheap, uncapped broadband into low-income communities. They think the model is replicable countrywide – and even across the African continent. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ FCC_Finally_Updates_America’s_Pathetic Definition_Of_‘Broadband’_To_100_Mbps⠀⇛ For decades, the FCC has maintained an arguably pathetic definition of “broadband,” allowing the telecom industry to under-deliver substandard access. After some industry lobbying to ensure it wasn’t too stringent, the agency is finally getting around to an update, and has announced that they’ll soon classify “broadband” as anything faster than 100 Mbps downstream, 20 Mbps upstream. # § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ Why_South_Africa_may_be stuck_with_2G_for_longer⠀⇛ The December 2027 deadline, set by the department of communications & digital technologies, for operators to switch off their 2G and 3G networks, may prove difficult considering the number of users and devices still reliant on these legacy carriers. According to a report by Ookla, which owns the popular Speedtest.net app, the prevalence of legacy infrastructure and the high cost of migrating customers is constraining network’s from “sunsetting” legacy technologies in South Africa – and Africa as a whole. # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ Texas_Man_Arrested_for_Using_Boarding_Pass He_Photographed_Off_Fellow_Traveler's_Phone⠀⇛ But it’s not clear whether the boarding pass Fleurizard used to get through security was the same one he presented to actually get on the plane at the gate on Sunday. Court documents indicate authorities saw Fleurizard taking photos of “multiple passenger’s phones and/or boarding passes while they were not looking.” However, this activity was done “in the boarding area,” according to the documents, suggesting he got through TSA security by using a different boarding pass. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Delta_Passenger_Boarded_Flight_Using Photo_of_Another_Ticket⠀⇛ A Texas man was arrested in Salt Lake City on Sunday after he boarded a Delta Air Lines flight without a ticket by using a photo he had taken of another passenger’s boarding pass while they were not looking, according to court documents. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Tencent_Music_Paying_Subscribers_Hit 106.7M—Up_20.6%⠀⇛ The platform reported revenue of 6.89 billion yuan ($957.06M) for Q4 2023, a 7.2% decline compared to the same period in 2022. Despite the revenue decline, the number of paying subscribers rose to 106.7 million, for a 20.6% jump in the Q4 2023 quarter compared to Q4 2022. § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o ⚓ India Times ☛ EU_tech_rules:_Google_defends_Digital_Markets_Act changes,_cites_complex_trade-offs⠀⇛ Under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which kicked in on March 7, users can remove any Google pre-installed software or app if they want while Google will need their consent to use their data across its various services or for personalised ads. Google is not allowed to favour its services or products over rivals on its platform. o ⚓ India Times ☛ Google_app_billing_policy:_Google_billing_issue: CCI_denies_interim_relief_to_Indian_internet_firms⠀⇛ The denial of interim relief by CCI comes in the backdrop of an investigation it ordered into Google’s Play Store billing norms on March 15, saying the US-based giant’s policies prima facie violated the competition law. o ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ DOJ_reportedly_planning_to_sue_Apple_over antitrust_violations_this_week⠀⇛ The investigation into Apple started in 2019 under the Trump Administration, with the DOJ coming close to going to court before being delayed in December 2021. It was reported in 2021 that the DOJ would make a decision on legal action in March 2022, which still hasn’t come to pass. In January, it was reported that Justice was investigating whether Apple used unfair tactics to protect the iPhone’s market share. As part of their investigation, Justice officials were said to have reviewed the overall smartphone market and several of the other segments where the company competes. o ⚓ The Verge ☛ Apple’s_compliance_plan_in_Epic_case_is_insufficient, Meta,_Microsoft_tell_court⠀⇛ Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers told Apple in 2021 that it could not prevent app developers from using “buttons, external links, or other calls to action” informing users of payment options outside of their apps. Epic and other developers have taken issue with Apple’s 15 to 30 percent fees on in-app purchases, which Apple makes difficult to avoid by also preventing them from directing users to payment options at a lower price outside of the iOS ecosystem. Apple has defended the fees as reasonable compensation for its own services on the App Store. But the companies that filed the brief Wednesday, all of which say they’ve been subject to Apple’s rules against steering users away from its own payment processing, say Apple’s idea of compliance would not fix the problem. Its proposal to let developers point to an external purchase link is complex and burdensome, the companies say. o ⚓ The Register UK ☛ India's_competition_regulator_orders_Google Play_probe⠀⇛ "Google is offering an illusory choice for users to opt for an alternative billing option next to Google Play's billing system," stated the regulatory body in its assessment of Google's User Choice Billing (UCB) pilot. "It appears that Google has used its virtual monopoly power to reap trading benefits which it would not have reaped if there had been effective competition. Given this complete dependence of app developers on Google Play store, the price being charged by Google appears to be unfair in itself," argued CCI. o ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Pop-Up_War:_Microsoft_Injects_Ads for_Bing_and_Edge_into_Chrome⠀⇛ In an attempt to encourage people to switch to its search engine, Bing, Microsoft is once again showing pop-up ads within Google Chrome. These intrusive pop-up ads, reminiscent of malware practice, first appeared in 2023. They bypassed other applications and windows, displaying prominently on top of them. Following a temporary pause to address "unintended behaviour," pop-up notifications have resurfaced on Windows 10 and Windows 11 OS-powered machines. o ⚓ Random Oracle ☛ Browser_in_the_middle:_25_years_after_the_MSFT antitrust_trial⠀⇛ In May 1998 the US Department of Justice and the Attorneys General of 20 states along with the District of Columbia sued Microsoft in federal court, alleging predatory strategies and anticompetitive business practices. At the heart of the lawsuit was the web browser Internet Explorer, and strong-arm tactics MSFT adopted with business partners to increase the share of IE over the competing Netscape Navigator. 25 years later in a drastically altered technology landscape, DOJ is now going after Google for its monopoly power in search and advertising. With the benefit of hindsight, there are many lessons in the MSFT experience that could offer useful parallels for the new era of antitrust enforcement, as both sides prepare for the trial in September. o § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ EFF_Seeks_Greater_Public_Access_to_Patent_Lawsuit Filed_in_Texas⠀⇛ You’re not supposed to be able to litigate in secret in the U.S. That’s especially true in a patent case dealing with technology that most internet users rely on every day. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what’s happening in a case called Entropic Communications, LLC v. Charter Communications, Inc. The parties have made so much of their dispute secret that it is hard to tell how the patents owned by Entropic might affect the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications (DOCSIS) standard, a key technical standard that ensures cable customers can access the internet. In Entropic, both sides are experienced litigants who should know that this type of sealing is improper. Unfortunately, overbroad secrecy is common in patent litigation, particularly in cases filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Music_Industry_Threatens_'Deepfake_AI Music'_Service_With_Legal_Action⠀⇛ BPI, the UK's leading music industry group, views Voicify as one of the world’s largest and most egregious 'deepfake' AI music sites. The group is now threatening to sue the vocal cloning service if it continues to operate in its current form. While the site hasn't commented on the allegations directly, it recently rebranded to "Jammable" citing legal troubles. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ ISP's_Landmark_Piracy_Liability_Case Doesn't_Get_a_Do-Over_in_Appeals_Court⠀⇛ The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals has denied rehearing requests filed by Internet provider Cox and several record labels, who are engaged in a landmark piracy liability battle. The ISP warned that the current precedent threatens the Internet connectivity of millions of people, but the court sees no reason to reconsider its earlier findings. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Pokémon_Co._Is_Now_DMCAing_Years_Old_Videos Showing_Pokémon_Modded_Into_Other_Games⠀⇛ The war on video game mods that involve Pokémon continues! I can’t say for sure that the Pokémon Company’s renewed focus on taking down anything relating to these mods for 3rd party video games was kickstarted by the release of Palworld, sometimes pitched as “Pokémon with guns”, and a mod for the game that put actual Pokémon into the game, but it sure feels that way. Even before the game’s release, of course, the company has always acted as a jealous protector of anything related to its intellectual property, even as it has had no issues with using the work of others itself. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Copyright_Troll_Richard_Liebowitz_Finally Disbarred⠀⇛ Remember Richard Liebowitz? The lawyer who was not very good at his job but really dove deep into the world of copyright trolling? He was suspended from practicing law a few years ago, but now he’s finally been officially disbarred. There are many, many Liebowitz stories out there. It’s hard to beat the time he lied about his dead grandfather as an excuse for his bad lawyering. This resulted in him literally having a friend of his parents send the most pathetic “please excuse young Richard, he doesn’t really law well” letter to the court. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Tape_Echo_For_Anyone⠀⇛ If you’ve ever looked into how artists from the 1960s made their music, you’ll learn about the many inventive ways in which the tape recorder enabled new effects. One of the simplest of those is the tape echo, as distinct from a reverb which introduces the many delayed echoes of a large auditorium, an echo provides a single delayed version of the original. It’s something [Mark Gutierez] shows us as he makes a tape echo from a cheap Walkman-style cassette player. It’s hardly the highest quality of its ilk, but it does the job. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 5816 ➮ Generation completed at 02:49, i.e. 13 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
