That was about a month after a defamatory petition against him, making various claims that were obviously untrue. One section there contained "RMS'_Response to_Betsy_S." and the stallmansupport.org Web site said: "We have nothing to add, except perhaps that we perceive some lack of sensitiveness in making an accusatory statement about something that happened 40 (forty) years ago, without the slightest attempt to elucidate things through dialogue first." Just over a day ago the_stallmansupport.org_Web_site_added_an_update (which we saw owing to RSS feeds) to that section. It said: "In light of further research and new information we've got, we have updated the “ Suicide” entry in the debunking page. We made some minor, mostly cosmetic changes in that page too." Here is the_updated_and_much_more_detailed_explanation: A woman who signs “Betsy S.” claimed that more than 40 years ago Stallman threatened to commit suicide if she didn't agree to start a romantic relationship with him. This person did not attempt to elucidate things and check the accuracy of her memories through dialogue with Stallman before launching her four-decades-late accusation which, again, happened at a time when some people were desperately trying to defame the initiator of the free software movement. We have now found that that interaction with Betsy S. happened in early 1982, when Stallman was in a state of despair with the collapse of the AI Lab: Oh, my poor AI lab, you are dying and I can't save you. [...] I lost all at once my social network, my opportunity to pursue my career in an upright fashion, and most of what I had helped to build.[6] In an interview by Steven Levy from 1982, published inHackers - Heroes of the Computer Revolution, Stallman says, I'm the last survivor of a dead culture, and I don't really belong in the world anymore. And in some ways I feel I ought to be dead.[7] We are also told by people close to Stallman that he has a tendency to wish for his own death when things go wrong. We therefore conclude that any serious analysis of whatever happened during that conversation requires contextualization, and memories of what was actually said more than 40 years ago should be carefully checked, ideally through dialogue between the two parties involved. Last but not least, we are disconcerted by the woman's cold-hearted remark, “He was not a man of his word or he'd be long dead.” All the same, Stallman apologized. The accusation: When I was a teen freshman, I went to a buffet lunch at an Indian restaurant in Central Square with a graduate student friend and others from the AI lab. I don’t know if he and I were the last two left, but at a table with only the two of us, Richard Stallman told me of his misery and that he’d kill himself if I didn’t go out with him. I felt bad for him and also uncomfortable and manipulated. I did not like being put in that position - suddenly responsible for an “important” man. What had I done to get into this situation? I decided I could not be responsible for his living or dying, and would have to accept him killing himself. I declined further contact. He was not a man of his word or he’d be long dead. Betsy S. The apology: Stallman's_Apology_to_Betsy_S. (Archived) #apology 19 July 2020 (A note to Betsy S.) Betsy S met me at a lunch around 40 years ago. I am sure her recounting of her recollections is sincere, but she must have misunderstood the last thing I said to her. She said she didn't want an acquaintance with me. That no, on top of so many noes from others, impelled me to express despair; she seems to have misconstrued that as a demand. Betsy S, I regret that this misunderstanding caused you distress. I never intended to demand anything of you. I only ever wished you well.

Hours ago we saw the Linux Foundation fronting for_Microsoft_and_Microsofters_once_again: Co-founded by ABB/B&R, Capgemini, Microsoft.... Jim Zemlin et al certainly know how GNU/Linux users feel about Microsoft and Microsoft's Capgemini, but they just don't care because their clients (and whoever they represent) are Microsoft and GAFAM, not GNU/Linux users. Last but not least, yesterday there was this_article_from_an_Odessa_(Ukraine) site: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Intelligence_officer_Linux:_Kyrylo_Budanov_was_with_us_at_a key_stage_of_the_operation_in_Vovchansk⦈_ Well, he has nothing to do with Linux (the kernel), but this one isn't wearing a dress; however, that adds a war connotation to "Linux". Brands that are not guarded from misuse/abuse will inevitably lose their original meaning and their value. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣽⣷⢰⣷⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿

█▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ XBox is Dead. This is Just the Beginning.⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 11, 2024 It is neither a secret nor a subject of dispute that XBox sales fell over 50% in the past year. Microsoft says so itself! It's also not a secret that XBox sales were so bad that Microsoft dropped the price to the point where it lost hundreds of dollars on each XBox sold. That's according to Microsoft. The XBox layoffs have been out of control lately. This year there were more waves of XBox layoffs than we can reliably keep track of and days ago this was mentioned in the press in relation to cancelled Halo projects. Does the_following_news surprise anybody? 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Xbox_Will_Reportedly_Stop_Selling_Consoles_In_The_Middle East⦈_ Seems like a "rolling" policy; over time more regions may adopt the same policy. That's how it usually goes, but with face-saving statements the reality may take some months to trickle in, then prevail. A lot of XBox- or games-centric sites talk about the former Blizzard CEO leaving Microsoft [1, 2, 3, 4], but don't lose sight of the XBox scoop. As we said years_ago, the main reason Microsoft bought Activision/Blizzard was to hide the growing losses and failure of XBox. They want to change the subject and scope. XBox might be on its last foot. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢻⠟⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡿⢻⠛⣛⡟⡟⣿⡟⢛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡟⣿⣿⣿⡿⢛⠻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢛⠻⣿⣿⡟⡟⢻⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢃⠸⡇⠶⢸⠰⢎⡇⡱⣿⣧⠁⡎⢸⡇⡇⡇⣿⡇⢨⠱⡇⠦⠅⠰⢈⠱⠆⡇⣶⡆⢎⠰⢼⠰⠆⡇⣧⠃⣾⣟⠪⠝⡆⢎⠰⢈⠰⠆⣿⡗⠮⠙⡁⠦⡇⡇⢸⢸⢰⡄⡁⠆⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣥⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣴⣬⠟⡛⠟⢛⢻⠛⣛⠟⡛⠇⢸⢛⠻⠛⣛⣿⡇⡟⢛⢻⣿⣶⢰⡆⢘⢻⠟⡛⣿⡇⡘⡏⠀⡗⡟⡃⠸⢛⠀⠀⡟⡛⢿⣿⠰⢶⣛⠛⡟⣛⡏⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣭⣵⣦⣥⣦⣼⣼⣥⣤⣦⣥⣦⣴⣬⣽⣭⣤⣿⣧⣧⣼⣼⣿⣿⣼⣧⣼⣼⣤⣭⣿⣧⣧⣼⣤⣧⣧⣥⣴⣬⣤⣤⣦⣭⣿⣿⣬⣭⣤⣥⣯⣦⣧⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢛⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠐⠲⢿⣿⣽⣽⣿⣿⣿⣷⣯⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡽⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⠿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⠀⢀⠄⡤⠤⢄⠀⡠⠤⢄⢤⠀⢀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡱⣏⠤⡧⠤⢾⢸⠀⠀⠈⡇⡱⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠜⠁⠈⠂⠧⠶⠚⠈⠓⠤⠚⠜⠁⠈⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1128 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Gemini Links 11/10/2024: Against Cynicism, on Atheism, and Dropping Off The Internet⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 11, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Captured_just_before_dusk_this⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Politics_and_World_Events o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ Against_Cynicism⠀⇛ I don't really know what to do with this post but it keeps rattling around inside my head so I need to exorcise it and put it into words and put it to rest. I keep seeing what I think of extreme cynicism in my online social circles. On the fediverse, in my rss blog feeds, in some irc channels. What it looks like when I see it is somebody categorically panning an entire technology or discipline or language or platform. Usually in the form of hot takes or rants. Web dev is crap. Javascript is crap. C is crap. TDD is crap. Free software is crap. Corporate software is crap. This protocol is crap. That platform is crap. Computers are crap. The Internet is crap. There are a lot of things that might lead to this kind of hot take: feelings of inferiority or insecurity, a past negative experience, feeling overwhelmed. And there are a lot of purposes that this kind of opinion may serve for the opinion haver: security and safety, looking or feeling smart. # ⚓ Where_are_the_opportunities_to_use_a_second_language?⠀⇛ I have dreams where I'm back in Korea. I miss using the language, but I can't say that I ever really got into an immersion environment even though I lived in Korea for 3 years and had at least 1000 words before stepping off the plane the first time. The closest I ever felt to being immersed was in a week long class that I took as part of my orientation for EPIK (English Program in Korea). It was upper-intermediate and the content was the "your level + one" N+1 content that really stretched and pushed me. I guess I'm answering my own question by pointing out that a serious classroom is a great place to find the immersion I still pine after. But I also don't really want to spend an extended time in Korea ever again, unless the air quality really improves, ha. # ⚓ 🔥_Y_Sawna⠀⇛ At the end of the first month in Finland, I was invited to a birthday party thrown for my partner’s grandfather. I’d not met any of her wider family, so it was a good way to meet a load of people and break the ice. Nice venue, nice food, and everyone was keen to put a name to a face. A couple of hours in, mid-afternoon, it was time for the Sauna. I’d had a few before, but mostly at people’s houses, post-pub, this was my first at the lake, on a sunny day, in one of the larger wood burning public ones, of which there are many. Dudes go first – yeah, I know – and Ladies take the second slot. What I wasn’t expecting, as I walked out bollock naked, was for the female side of the family to be sat at the edge of the lake supping their Lonkeros… If you’re going to meet someone’s granny, well, doing it with your nob out is one way… # ⚓ Hermit_Crab_on_Laundry_Day⠀⇛ Okay but did you know some animals have clothes it’s called Hermit Crab So it’s not dumb that humans have clothes And also in humid hot places like rain forest they don’t use that much clothes In hot dry places like desert you do need lots of clothes. 🧕🏻 And it’s a way to get to hang out with G-d on the daily So don’t be discouraged just cause Adam and Eve noshed on the science fruit # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_ADKLRPN_Wordo:_FIERY⠀⇛ # ⚓ hi,_from_over_yonder⠀⇛ # ⚓ priorities_in_reverse⠀⇛ I just saw a thing about the RayBan/Meta smartglasses, and I had no idea these existed. Not expensive apparently, and they are "Google Glass but normal-looking". 15 years ago, I'd be all over it. I wanted Google Glass to be successful, too. Google Now was incredibly useful/amusing, I thought. Now (years later, post-Snowden, Iris, privacy awareness everywhere, and for good reason!) I see stuff like this (RB/Meta glasses, Google Glass, et al) and think of the obvious and terrible consequences and privacy invasion they bring about. I'd say that prior to Google, and them running a full on "marketing campagin" (or at least setting the tone/narrative of "just trust us") online, that I, and many others, did not have any intention of handing over any data to a company whatsoever - online or off. But we (some, but really all) people do hand over (or get stolen) their data, and they (Google (+ other tech co's)) are no longer trusted (though were never trustworthy). o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Atheism⠀⇛ Yeah, yeah, atheists are technically correct, because that one thing that they don’t believe in— o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ New_Laptup_Update,_or_my_Hate_for_Amazon_Sellers/Delivery Services⠀⇛ Ahh, last week. The week when I was super enthusiastic about receiving the new laptop that I ordered. So excited, in fact, that I even posted a gemlog entry with my musings about which Linux distro I was going to put on in and how I might potentially customise it: [...] [...] My laptop was due to be delivered early this week. It's now Friday and, sadly, it isn't here. Even more unfortunately, one of the reasons I ordered it was to have it for when I'm travelling for a bit from Sunday. I'm definitely not going to have it for that trip now, and that sucks. I don't even know fully who to be annoyed at! The laptop I was suppose to be receiving is being sold by a seller on Amazon, one that specialises in distributing older, recycled/refurbished hardware. I received a tracking number from parcel delivery company DPD just prior to when it was suppose to be sent, but any attempt to track it yielded an error saying they hadn't received the package yet. Yesterday, it finally updated with a message stating that the package was likely "lost." # ⚓ Emacs_Info_Buffers:_Putting_the_Manual_Name_Inside_the Buffer_Name_(publ._2024-10-11)⠀⇛ I always view info manuals inside of Emacs, and there are about a dozen advantages to doing that. But one thing that I find annoying in the default Emacs configuration is that the info buffer name does not include the manual name. To clarify: the manual name is shown on the mode line, but it is not part of the buffer name itself. Consequently if you have multiple info buffers open — very common in my case — and you want to switch to the buffer you opened for the elisp manual, the buffer completion list might show something like *info*, *info<1>*, *info<2>*, which is not very helpful. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ The_Mind_and_Dropping_Off_The_Internet⠀⇛ I've been pretty active on Gemini for the past 2.5 to 3 years, but for the last month and a half I haven't been around quite as much. Unlike what I've seen here before, it wasn't because I was bored of Gemini, or didn't like it anymore; it was that I noticed I was on my phone too much and so I bought a "dumb phone" i.e., a flip phone with limited features. Initially I intended on performing a digital detox of sorts, but because I found that certain parts of my life improved - with overall enjoyment of life being one of them - I decided to keep it going. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

The first time I moved to another country was in August 2017, moving from Patras to Abu Dhabi. It was also the first time I would live alone, having lived with my parents until then since I studied at my hometown. Leaving for Abu Dhabi was somewhat exciting but also a bit scary and sad. I would be in a long-distance relationship and was also planning on doing a PhD abroad, meaning I would be away for several years. I didn't know where I would do my PhD at the time but it was certain I'd have to leave Abu Dhabi after a year. This made my stay there feel temporary. Even though I made friends in Abu Dhabi and look back to many of my experiences there fondly, it never felt like home. Knowing I would leave within a year, I never mentally settled-in. # ⚓ 10_October_2024⠀⇛ Lately i am really tired, physically, psychological and all in between... perhaps being a father of a young child while also the only IT guy in a company with crumbling infrastructure, combined with being the guy sorting out the financial and buerocratic mess my dad build up over the last couple of decades, and ALSO somehow has to constantly keep our ancient half timbered house from falling apart does somehow contribute to this tiredness... whatever. o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ World_Communion_Sunday⠀⇛ My church is praying for my country, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine, Yemen, Sudan, Congo, my town, and North Carolina, each called out from the conscience of a different member. I said nothing, except from my heart. My public prayer in church, which from October 7 2023 til Lent this year caused discomfort and concern it'd incite conflict among the members, finally became a sweet smell to God's nostrils. There's room for my heart here. There's room for my heart here. I can rest here. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Deploying_Common_Lisp_Programs?⠀⇛ I have a handful of Lisp programs running on a personal server, as well as some scripts on my desktop computer; and it's gotten me curious how people typically deploy Common Lisp programs. This is mostly written from the context of a FOSS project, or I suppose a proprietary project that's only used internally so source code is available. # ⚓ FreeBSD⠀⇛ My first real concious use of BSDs was through SDF. I joined in 2021 after finding out about gopher and found it rather bewildering. I had used BSD via a mac while in primary school many moons ago but that did not involve any command line stuff. I soon got my head around NetBSD thanks to the tutorials and reading around. However, simply using an operating system does not really help matters. The effort of keeping things working is mostly removed from you. However, this is where you see how helpful an OS is. SDF's introduction of beastie which runs OpenBSD as opposed to NetBSD was a useful exposure to the differences in BSDs. I find it hard to make sense of which BSD to use as they are similar and yet different. In the end, I have decided it is about who's documentation you prefer. I played around with NomadBSD which is a live bootable version of one of the BSDs. I forget which. It introduced me to the errata and applying those changes. I borked a few installs through that. However, it is a frustrating OS as it forces the use of OpenBox as a window manager. Not my favourite and the boot times were pretty long. In fairness, they are quick considering what NomadOS is trying to do. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Elpher,_Random_Links,_and_Queuing_Links_(publ._2024- 10-10)⠀⇛ A major concern that was holding me back on the switch: there is some quirk in the design of the Emacs networking library — I don't understand all the details — that prevents one from using elpher's SOCKS support and certificate verification at the same time. You have to pick one or the other. SOCKS support is needed to route the traffic through the TOR daemon. There is a bug report open about it already. I decided, finally, that I wanted to be using Elpher badly enough that I would just use it without TOR, while keeping the certificate verification. Another issue was switching from a tabbed to a non-tab paradigm. I don't really like tabs, frankly, but with Lagrange I could use my elisp to open up a bunch of random links (from the Kennedy database) into separate tabs in Lagrange, and then work through them quickly that way. Also, if I wanted to investigate a link on some page, but not just yet, I could open the link in a background tab. # ⚓ Added_bulk_update_of_expire_date_tu_Hunchbin⠀⇛ Hunchbin is a self hosted snippet service, and file dropper. It also features temporarily bookmarks. It is aimed at text mode browsers, like eww, links, and lynx. It can be used with any browser, it uses pure HTML and HTML forms, no JavaScript. It is build upon the Common Lisp Hunchentoot web server. # ⚓ misfin_link_specification_proposal⠀⇛ So after some discussion in IRC as well as careful reading of the relevant parts of RFC 3986, here's what we've come up with: misfin:// links must not be used like mailto: links to trigger the client composing a message. This is because the // portion indicates that the address is the *authority* portion of the link, which is accurate when a client is making a misfin:// request to a server but not when the address is simply being passed to another program. I understand this is inconvenient since quite a few people (including myself) are currently using misfin:// links on their gemini sites, but this is explicitly disallowed by the URI spec so we should probably make the change. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Both models share the same key specifications with support for up to 32GB DDR5 SO- DIMM memory and a mPCIe socket for storage. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Braun_TS2_Radio_Turns_68,_Gets_Makeover⠀⇛ The Braun TS2 radio was a state-of-the art tube set in 1956. Today it still looks great, but unsurprisingly, the one that [Manuel Caldeier] has needed a little tender loving care. The table radio had a distinct style for its day and push-buttons. However, the dial glass and the speaker grill needed replacement. Even more interesting, the radio has a troublesome selenium rectifier, giving him the perfect chance to try out his new selenium rectifier solid-state replacement. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Qualcomm_Networking_Pro_A7_Elite_is_a_WiFi_7 SoC_with_a_40_TOPS_NPU_for_AI-optimized_traffic_and_range⠀⇛ The Qualcomm Networking Pro A7 Elite platform is a new wireless networking platform that integrates WiFi 7 with edge AI. The wireless networking platform can deliver up to 33 Gbps of throughput and features an Hey Hi (AI) coprocessor that provides up to 40 TOPS for Hey Hi (AI) workloads. Hey Hi (AI) features are designed to enhance Wi-Fi and networking user experience and include Smart Traffic Classifier, Range Boost, and Networking AIOps. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_Punched_Card_Detective⠀⇛ [John Graham-Cumming] might not be the first person to thumb through an old book and find an IBM punched card inside. But he might be the first to actually track down the origin of the cards. Admittedly, there were clues. The book was a Portuguese book about computers from the 1970s. The cards also had a custom logo on them that belonged to a computer school at the time. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Wimbledon_Goes_Automated [Ed: Some media misframes this as "hey hi" to manufacture false hype]⠀⇛ When you think of tennis, you probably think of Wimbledon, the All England Club’s famous competition that has run for 147 years. Part of that history has always been line judges who call the ball in or out, sometimes to the ire of players and fans alike. But line judges will be no more at Wimbledon. They are moving to ELC or electronic line calling on all courts in both the main draw and the qualifying tournaments, according to [Tumaini Carayol] writing in The Guardian. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Single_dose,_low_retention_coffee_grinders⠀⇛ This is going to sound silly, but I’m so relieved and oddly validated that these things exist! I have no idea how the industry tolerated how this was done before. I’ll explain what these grinders are, but first let me wind back the clock to the early 2000s. The short-lived swing revival was in the rearview mirror. Palm had released their m100-series PDAs. Tragic nerds like me had the Love Hina OP on a loop in our heads. Dah dah da-da dah! Dah dah da-da dah! And my parents started buying what James Hoffman referred to as “bean to cup” coffee machines, starting with this exact model of DeLonghi Magnifica. # ⚓ University of Michigan ☛ Three_Medical_School_faculty receive_prestigious_NIH_awards⠀⇛ Three U-M investigators have been acknowledged by the National Institutes of Health's prestigious High-Risk, High-Reward Research program. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Pelicot_trial:_French_court_hears_how_mass_rape went_undetected_for_years⠀⇛ Relatives of Gisèle Pelicot, the woman at the heart of a mass rape trial that has shaken France, testified in court on Tuesday about the deterioration they witnessed in Pelicot’s health throughout her almost decade-long ordeal, and the failure to determine its cause. Their accounts shed light on the widespread ignorance of drug- facilitated abuse that allowed the victim’s ordeal to go undetected for years. # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Politicians_mull_youth_addiction_treatment_in Latvia⠀⇛ On Tuesday, October 8, the Saeima sub-committees came together to discuss psychiatric and narcological services for young people of children. After a long debate, not much was decided, except to come together again in half a year, Latvian Radio reported. # ⚓ European Commission ☛ Statement_by_Commissioner_Kyriakides ahead_of_World_Mental_Health_Day⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ More_ICU_patients_died_following_South Korean_doctors’_mass_walkout:_Lawmaker⠀⇛ The authorities cautioned against drawing conclusions from the limited data presented, as death rates fluctuate. # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Another_swine_fever_outbreak_detected_in_Latvia⠀⇛ An outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) has been detected in a domestic pig holding with 14 pigs in Dobele municipality. This is the seventh outbreak of ASF in domestic pig holdings in Latvia this year, the Food and Veterinary Service (PVD) said on October 9. # ⚓ Medevel ☛ Not_Everything_Needs_to_Be_Smart!_Enough_Smart Things,_Keep_it_Simple_-_The_Need_to_Simplify_Our_Lives⠀⇛ We live in an era where everything, from your toothbrush to your trash can, is powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). You might have heard the phrase “there’s an app for that,” but now it seems there’s a smart device for everything—whether it makes sense or not. # ⚓ Medevel ☛ The_Smart_Potty_Training_App:_Since_When Toddler's_Potty_Training_Needs_Wi-Fi!⠀⇛ As we live in a world where everything is “smart.” Smart toasters, smart mirrors, smart water bottles—because apparently, we need a reminder to drink water. But just when you thought the tech world couldn’t get any more absurd, along comes the Smart Potty Training App. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ On-Site_Viral_RNA_Detection_In_Wastewater_With Paper_And_Wax_Microfluidics⠀⇛ Wastewater sampling has become a popular way over the years to keep track of the health of a population, including human ones, as pathogens are often detectable in the effluence from toilets. Since most houses connected to the centralized sewer systems, this means that a few sampling sites suffice to keep tabs on which viruses are circulating in an area. While sampling this wastewater is easy, the actual RNA analysis using PCR (polymerase chain reaction) still has to be performed in laboratories, adding complex logistics. An approach for on-site analysis using microfluidics was tested out by [Yuwei Pan] et al., as recently published in Cell. # ⚓ Kev Quirk ☛ Emma_Mattresses_Are_Crap⠀⇛ My wife and I recently bought an Emma Mattress, but it's since gone back because, frankly, it's shite. If you've never heard of Emma_Mattresses, they're a UK based company that supplies fancy pants memory foam mattresses. They're very expensive, but they offer a 200 day money back guarantee on their mattresses, so a few months ago my wife and I took a punt and bought one. Initially I thought it was very nice - it was supportive, moulded to my body, and both my wife and I couldn't feel it when the other person was shifting about in bed. Good times! Over summer it was a little uncomfortable because memory foam mattresses tend to absorb more body heat, so are generally warmer to sleep in. As someone who likes it cold when they sleep, this was annoying for me. Anyway, that's not what makes Emma Mattresses crap, oh no dear reader. What makes them crap is that after a couple months, it was like sleeping in the fucking Himalayas. There was a ditch on either side of the bed where we sleep, and what can only be described as the bed equivalent of Everest in the middle. It got so bad that it felt like I was sleeping on a slope. # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Covid_incidence_on_the_decline_in_Latvia⠀⇛ The incidence of Covid-19 in Latvia has decreased, Latvian Radio reported on October 9. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Does_Your_School_Use_Suicide_Prevention Software?_We_Want_to_Hear_From_You.⠀⇛ Concerned about anxiety and depression among students, some schools are monitoring what children type into their devices to detect suicidal thinking or self-harm. # ⚓ RFA ☛ Mekong_commission_delays_release_of_river_flood warning_app⠀⇛ Smartphone app was to go live by August but a new release date has not been announced. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong_school_students_happier than_last_year_but_sense_of_purpose_in_life_falls_to_7-year low,_survey_finds⠀⇛ Hong Kong primary and secondary school students were happier than they were last year, an annual survey has found, but their sense of purpose in life fell to a seven-year low as an expert highlighted the need for more resilience. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Neverwinter_Developer_Cryptic_Studios_Hit_by_Yet_More Layoffs⠀⇛ Neverwinter and Star Trek Online developer Cryptic Studios has been hit by another round of layoffs, with an unknown number of staff being let go from the studio this time around.

In accordance with the parties' stipulation, the case was divided into two stages, the first stage addressing the issue of whether Respondent Jerry's Famous Deli had ceased use of the registered marks RASCAL HOUSE, WOLFIE COHEN’S RASCAL HOUSE, and the word-and-design mark shown below, for restaurant services. The Board concluded that Jerry's had indeed stopped using the mark for a period of more than three years. [TTABlogged here]. In this second stage, the Board concluded that Jerry's failed to prove an intent to resume use that would avoid a finding that the marks were abandoned. Rascal_House,_Inc._v._Jerry’s Famous_Deli,_Inc., Cancellation Nos. 92075125, 92075180, and 92075185 (September 30, 2024) [not precedential] (Opinion by Judge David K.

We had tacos at Mi Madres a few months ago when he was in Austin to do some promotion for his brand new book, Never Play It Safe. Halfway through our lunch I said, “Hey, do you have a typewriter?” and he got a big grin on his face… o ⚓ Lucidity ☛ Get_Me_Out_Of_Data_Hell⠀⇛ It is 9:59 AM in Melbourne, 9th October, 2024. Sunlight filters through my windows, illuminating swirling motes of dust across my living room. There is a cup of tea in my hand. I take a sip and savor it. I text the other senior engineer, who unlike me is full- time, on the team: "I'm ready to start at 10", as is our custom. The minute hand moves. It is 10:00 AM in Melbourne, 9th October, 2024. The sun is immediately extinguished and replaced by a shrieking skull hanging low in a frigid sky. I glance down at my tea, and it is as blood. I take a sip and savor it. I text the other senior engineer on the team: "Are you ready to enter the Pain Zone?", as is our custom. o ⚓ Sebastiaan Andeweg ☛ How_I_blog_in_multiple_languages⠀⇛ Henrique is forcing me into participating in this collective blogging event called the "IndieWeb Carnival", this time hosted by ZinRicky.

Otherwise, both you and your readers will get tired of it. No advertising or SEO beats genuine passion. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Supercon_2023:_Receiving_Microwave_Signals_From Deep-Space_Probes⠀⇛ Here’s the thing about radio signals. There is wild and interesting stuff just getting beamed around all over the place. Phrased another way, there are beautiful signals everywhere for those with ears to listen. We go about our lives oblivious to most of them, but some dedicate their time to teasing out and capturing these transmissions. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Google_Researchers_Win_Nobel_Prize_Amid Company’s_Antitrust_Battle⠀⇛ On Wednesday, the Nobel Prize committee conferred considerable prestige to Google’s pursuit of big ideas. Demis Hassabis, the chief executive of Google’s primary artificial intelligence lab, and John Jumper, one of the lab’s scientists, were among a trio of researchers who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their efforts to better understand the human body and fight disease through A.I. # ⚓ CBC ☛ Nobel_chemistry_award_goes_to_trio_of_scientists researching_protein_structure⠀⇛ In 2020, Hassabis and Jumper presented an AI model called AlphaFold. With its help, they have been able to predict the structure of virtually all the 200 million proteins that researchers have identified, the academy said. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Yordi Verkroost ☛ The_Pathless_Path⠀⇛ I could have stayed on that path for years to come, without any problems. But after about eight years, I began to sidetrack. My first deviation was becoming a learning and development advisor, while still at the same company. That side road eventually became more defined, leading me to my current role as both a high school and university teacher. It wasn’t something I planned, but it felt natural. It felt exactly like what I should do at the time. # ⚓ Yordi Verkroost ☛ Rigid_Hiring_Rules⠀⇛ And I get this student's reaction. I absolutely do. What I can’t understand is this rigid attitude of companies. Even if a student seems like a perfect fit, as was the case here, a missing checkmark on a form can be enough to lose a promising opportunity. There’s no flexibility, no creativity in the company's approach—just cold, spreadsheet-based management. # ⚓ Tracy Durnell ☛ Agency_in_reading⠀⇛ When I was in HS, there was a book another student told me was terrible, and I begged my teacher not to make me read it; he made a deal with me that if I didn’t like it, I could switch to a different book. It turned out the book (iirc) was great so we didn’t need the deal, but I think the teacher handled it well: it showed me he respected me and wouldn’t force me to continue something I loathed, but prompted me to try it and form my own opinion. I learned to pay closer attention to who I took book reviews from, and to give books a chance while knowing I could quit ones I disliked. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-10-07_[Older]_Canadian_doctors_warned_to_be_on the_lookout_for_scurvy⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ 2024-10-07_[Older]_We’ve_worked_out_a way_of_understanding_how_microbial_communities_shape_life_on Earth⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-10-04_[Older]_Marburg_outbreaks:_One of_the_world’s_deadliest_viruses⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-10-04_[Older]_Grounds_for_debate:_Is tea_or_coffee_the_greener_sip?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Ness Labs ☛ Why_we_worry:_the_weird_rewarding_cycle_and what_to_do_about_it⠀⇛ We spend a lot of time worrying. About work, money, friends, family, the future. For most people, it’s not the kind of paralyzing worry that prevents us from getting anything done. It’s more akin to background noise which we can be pretty good at ignoring. But it’s still there. It makes it harder than we’d like to fall asleep, and it sometimes hinders our decision-making when we focus on what could go wrong instead of what could go right. Worrying can lead to fatigue and irritation. If it’s so bad for us, why do we worry? Why is it that such an anxiety-inducing mental state is so common? # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Republicans_Are_Hazardous_to_Your_Health⠀⇛ The authors are quick to say that this is a descriptive study—it doesn’t establish a cause-and- effect relationship between a state’s politics and health outcomes, and there may be other factors at work that are driving the results. However, this paper reinforces insights from other researchers who have looked at possible links between state politics and health outcomes and come to similar conclusions. This isn’t surprising: State policies on a variety of issues, from health care (e.g., Medicaid expansion) and public health, to other “determinants of health,” including taxation, education, the social safety net, immigration, and abortion, are all going to affect health outcomes. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ TikTok_Says_Cinnamon_in_Coffee_Helps_You Burn_Fat._Here's_The_Truth.⠀⇛ If you want to lose weight, there are evidence- backed approaches that won't spoil your morning coffee. # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ Little_kids_are_spending_big_money_on skin-care_products⠀⇛ Dermatologists and estheticians say the unease is more than just the usual hand-wringing of an older generation. They worry “skinfluencers” are pushing children to splurge on products that in some cases could cause damage to sensitive young skin, and are concerned the craze is kick-starting an unhealthy fixation with physical appearance. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ These_heirloom_seed_lovers_grow_community_– and_biodiversity_too⠀⇛ At the National Heirloom Exposition in Ventura, California, one of the largest gatherings of seed enthusiasts in the United States, visitors are greeted by an enormous pile of twisted squash.

One example flagged to 404 by editors was an impressively crafted history of a "timbery" Ottoman fortress that never actually existed. While it was simply wrong, the text itself was passable enough that unless you happen to specialize in 13th- century Ottoman architecture, you likely wouldn't have caught the error. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Can_You_Turn_Off_Google_and_Meta’s_AI Tools?_Sometimes,_and_Here’s_How.⠀⇛ Big tech brands like Google, Apple, Microsoft and Meta have all unleashed tech that they describe as artificial intelligence. Soon, the companies say, we’ll all be using A.I. to write emails, generate images and summarize articles. But who asked for any of this in the first place? # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Kaspersky_Is_Shutting_Down Its_London_Office_And_Laying_Off_Staff_Following_US_Shutdown And_Sale_Ban⠀⇛ The cybersecurity industry has been dealt another blow as Kaspersky announced the closure of its UK office and subsequent layoffs, just months after similar measures were taken in the US. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ CISA_official:_AI_tools_‘need_to_have_a human_in_the_loop’⠀⇛ Lisa Einstein, who took over as CISA’s first chief AI officer in August and has played a critical role in each of those efforts, considers herself an optimist when it comes to the technology’s potential, particularly as it relates to cyber defenses. But speaking Wednesday at two separate events in Washington, D.C., Einstein mixed that optimism with a few doses of caution. # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ ‘I_Applied_to_2,843_Roles’:_The_Rise_of_AI- Powered_Job_Application_Bots⠀⇛ Using AI Hawk's Auto Jobs Applier bot, I applied for 17 jobs in an hour on LinkedIn. # ⚓ SchwarzTech ☛ Article:_Future_Generations_and_the_Argument for_“Computer_Literacy”⠀⇛ With our 1-to-1 program, a number of students still often use their personal devices—lots of Macs, iPads, or Chromebooks—for everything except exams. This exacerbates the issues above as a PC that’s been sitting for a few weeks is often needier, playing catch-up on updates. Students tend to use what they feel comfortable with and if they’re able to complete their work, why should we criticize how they do it? # ⚓ Carlos Becker ☛ Gumroad,_where_is_my_money?⠀⇛ Speaking of alternatives, there aren’t any depending on your country. Where I live (Brazil), they only accept PayPal. No bank accounts, no Stripe. I’ve been wanting to use any of the other two options for years now (they are cheaper), and asked their support about it many times, but always replied something along the lines of “we are working on it”1. # ⚓ Daniel Miessler ☛ How_to_Use_Hugging_Face_Models_with Ollama⠀⇛ Ollama is one of my favorite ways to experiment with local AI models. It’s a CLI that also runs an API server for whatever it’s serving, and it’s super easy to use. Problem is—there’s only a couple dozen models available on the model page as opposed to over 65 kagillion on Hugging Face (roughly). # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Hold_my_Pimms!_Wimbledon_turns_to_tech for_line-ball_calls⠀⇛ The club on Wednesday revealed that Live Electronic Line Calling (Live ELC) tech “will be adopted at The Championships from 2025: and trusted to make “‘out’ and ‘fault’ calls that have previously been made by line umpires.” Live ELC will be used on all courts – even the lowly ones employed for qualifying matches. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Amazon_details_new_AI-powered_package management_system⠀⇛ Amazon’s newly detailed VAPR system is designed to speed up the process. According to the company, internal tests indicate that the technology can save drivers more than half an hour per delivery route. Additionally, the drivers who tested VAPR reported that it reduced the amount of physical and mental effort involved in their work. Usually, finding the parcel ordered by a customer requires reading the text on the packages in a van’s storage compartment. VAPR spares drivers the hassle. It uses a projector to shine a green “O” on the packages that should be dropped off at a given stop and a red “X” on the other parcels. # ⚓ Nick Heer ☛ Private_Systems_for_Public_Services⠀⇛ One of the side effects of the decline of née Twitter is in the splintering of its de facto customer support and alert capabilities. Plenty of organizations still use it that way. But it should only be one option. Apps like WhatsApp should not be the preferred contact method, either. Private companies’ contact methods should be available, sure — meet people where they are — but a standard method should always be as easily available. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ New_IPANDETEC_Report_Shows_Panama’s_ISPs_Still Lag_in_Protecting_User_Data⠀⇛ Companies are awarded stars and partial stars for meeting parameters set for each category. Más Móvil scored highest with four stars, while Tigo received two and one-half stars and Digicel one and a half. Celero scored highest among fixed internet providers with one and three-quarters stars. Interfast and DBS received three-fourths of a star and one- half star, respectively.The report showed progress on a few fronts: Más Móvil and Digicel publish privacy policy for their services, while Más Móvil has committed to follow relevant legal procedures before providing authorities with the content of its users’ communications, a significant improvement compared to 2021.Tigo maintains its commitment to require judicial authorization or follow established procedures before providing data and to reject requests that don’t comply with legal requirements.Más Móvil and Tigo also stand out for joining human rights-related initiatives. Más Móvil is a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact and belongs to SUMARSE, an organization that promotes Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Panama.Tigo, meanwhile, has projects aimed at digital and social transformation, including Conectadas: Empowering Women in the Digital World, Entrepreneurs in Action: Promoting the Success of Micro and Medium-sized Enterprises, and Connected Teachers: The Digital Age for teachers.All three fixed internet service providers received partial credit for meeting some parameters for digital security. Still, the report showed that internet providers in Panama have a long way to go to incorporate best practices in most categories. For instance, no company published transparency reports with detailed quantitative data for Panama.Both mobile and fixed internet telecommunications companies are not committed to informing users about requests or orders from authorities to access their personal data, according to the report. As for digital security, companies have chosen to maintain a passive position regarding the promotion of digital security.None of the mobile providers have opposed requiring users to undergo facial recognition to register or access their mobile phone services. As the report underlines, companies' resignation "marks a significant step backwards and affects human rights, such as the right to privacy, intimacy and the protection of personal data." Mandating face recognition as a condition to use mobile services is "an abusive intrusion into the privacy of users, setting a worrying precedent with the supposed objective of fighting crime," the report says.No company has a website or relevant documents available in native languages. Likewise, no company has a declaration and/or accessibility policy for people with disabilities (in physical and digital environments) or important documents in an accessible format.But it's worth noting that Más Móvil has alternative channels for people with sensory disabilities and Contact Center services for blind users, as well as remote control with built-in voice commands to improve accessibility.  Tigo, too, stands out for being the only company to have a section on its website about discounts for retired and disabled people.IPANDETEC’s Quien Defiende Tus Datos series of reports is part of a region-wide initiative, akin to EFF’s Who Has Your Back project, which tracks and rates ISPs’ privacy policies and commitments in Latin America and Spain.  # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Ticketmaster_Becomes_First_to Integrate_with_Apple_Wallet⠀⇛ Ticketmaster has become the first ticketing company to integrate with the new Apple Wallet, which now includes key event information, like a map of the venue and parking details. To kick off the new functionality, Ticketmaster’s first new tickets to take advantage of these new features are the Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) at their home game at BMO Stadium on Saturday, October 19. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Does_Your_School_Use_Suicide Prevention_Software?_We_Want_to_Hear_From_You.⠀⇛ Such tools — produced by companies like Gaggle, GoGuardian Beacon, Bark and Securly — can pick up what a child types into a Google search, or a school essay, or an email or text message to a friend. Some of these alerts may be false alarms, set off by innocuous research projects or offhand comments, but the most serious alerts may prompt calls to parents or even home visits by school staff members or law enforcement. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Login.gov_announces_availability for_facial_recognition_technology⠀⇛ Following a facial recognition pilot with the single sign-on platform, the GSA announced that the verification tech is now generally available. # ⚓ Barry Hess ☛ I_Finally_Lost_My_Smart_Ring!⠀⇛ I rolled back into the hotel room and was hit with a wave of relief. No longer do I have to worry about losing the ring. The ring was lost. I could no longer lose the ring! It was an expensive mistake. Our time together was over. I was released. # ⚓ OpenRightsGroup ☛ ICO_response_to_ORG_complaint against_Meta_and_AI_–_25_September_2024⠀⇛ Thank you for your letter of 15 July to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) raising Open Rights Group’s (ORG) concerns about Meta’s proposed use of UK users’ personal information for training generative artificial intelligence (AI). We have taken note of this complaint to inform our work in this area. The ICO has been engaging with Meta in relation to its processing of UK Facebook and Instagram user data for these purposes, including on the areas of concern raised in your letter. As you might be aware, in June 2024 Meta paused its plans to use Facebook and Instagram user data to train generative AI. This was in response to a request from the ICO. Following this, Meta made changes to its approach, such as by making it simpler for users to object to the processing. # ⚓ The Local DK ☛ EU_unveils_plans_to_make_passports_and IDs_digital_for_Schengen_travel⠀⇛ The European Commission has released details of its proposal to make passports and national identity cards available in a digital format on smartphones to "speed up travel" to and within the Schengen Area. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Deebot_Robot_Vacuums_Are_Using Photos_and_Audio_to_Train_Their_AI⠀⇛ An Australian news agency is reporting that robot vacuum cleaners from the Chinese company Deebot are surreptitiously taking photos and recording audio, and sending that data back to the vendor to train their AIs. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_Can_visiting_genocide memorials_make_you_more_empathic?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-10-09_[Older]_Germany_to_beef_up security_checks_amid_spying_fears⠀⇛ # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ 2024-10-04_[Older]_The_Impact_of Bangladesh’s_Political_Shift_on_North_East_India’s Geopolitics_and_Security⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-10-04_[Older]_India:_Security_forces say_Maoist_rebels_killed_in_gunfight⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2024-10-09_[Older]_Iran_Rejects UK_Security_Official's_'Accusations'_Against_Tehran,_Foreign Ministry_Says⠀⇛ # ⚓ NL Times ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_Palestinians_accuse_Israeli security_service_of_influencing_International_Criminal Court⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-10-04_[Older]_Pakistan_locks_down capital_ahead_of_pro-Khan_rally⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-10-04_[Older]_How_are_German-Israeli relations_a_year_after_Hamas_attacks?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-10-04_[Older]_How_India-China_border tensions_impact_Ladakh_nomads⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-10-04_[Older]_India:_Top_court_rules against_caste-based_tasks_in_prisons⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-10-04_[Older]_Interview_with Bulgarian_political_scientist_Ivan_Krastev:_'Trump_and_Harris will_not_accept_a_Putin_victory'⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-10-04_[Older]_Israel_may_be_using German-leased_Heron_war_drones⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-10-04_[Older]_US-Taiwan_aid_package_a signal_to_China_ahead_of_election?⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Dissenter ☛ Israel_Charges_American_Journalist_With 'Aiding_The_Enemy'_For_Reporting_On_Iranian_Missile_Strikes⠀⇛ # ⚓ Bridge Michigan ☛ 2024-10-10_[Older]_From_TikTok_to tailgates,_Trump_and_Harris_woo_young_Michigan_voters⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_Facebook, YouTube_and_TikTok_Users_in_Europe_Get_Forum_to_Challenge Social_Media_Content_Decisions⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_States_Sue TikTok,_Claiming_Its_Platform_Is_Addictive_and_Harms_the Mental_Health_of_Children⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2024-10-04_[Older]_Ken_Paxton Sues_TikTok_for_Violating_New_Texas_Social_Media_Law⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_TikTok_Sued by_13_States_and_DC,_Accused_of_Harming_Younger_Users⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-10-05_[Older]_Getting_fitness_tips_on_social media_can_be_harmful_—_but_it_doesn't_have_to_be⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_Charge Against_TikTok_Personality_Upgraded_in_the_Killing_of_a Louisiana_Therapist⠀⇛ # ⚓ Nebraska Examiner ☛ Midwest_secretaries_of_state_host election_security_and_integrity_summit_in_Nebraska⠀⇛ The National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology and Education Center, or NCITE, headquartered at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, hosted the event. Evnen’s three counterparts from Iowa (Paul Pate), Missouri (Jay Ashcroft) and South Dakota (Monae Johnson) joined the event, which Evnen said he expects to be repeated in future years. Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab participated in other summit events, including briefings on NCITE research, but was unable to attend the news conference, officials said. Pate, who is in his fourth term as Iowa’s secretary of state, said he has seen elections evolve and become “more aggressive” in the past two decades, particularly through technology. Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate. Oct. 9, 2024. (Zach Wendling/ Nebraska Examiner) Yet election confidence remains essential, Pate said, and secretaries of state are doing everything they ca # ⚓ The Strategist ☛ What_would_victory_in_Ukraine_look_like?⠀⇛ He failed. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected advice to flee the country and create a government in exile, and instead rallied his troops, saved the capital, and derailed Putin’s plan. Zelensky subsequently used the soft power of attraction to win foreign support and increase Ukraine’s hard power of military might. The result of Putin’s invasion was to strengthen Ukraine’s national identity and NATO, which has added two new members, Finland and Sweden, that previously had a long-standing policy of neutrality. Judging by Putin’s original war objectives, Ukraine has already won. The problem, of course, is that Russian troops still control approximately one-fifth of Ukraine’s territory, and Putin has revised his war goals to demand that Ukraine recognise his annexation of four eastern provinces (including some that Russian troops do not fully control). The war seems to be stalemated, but Putin has turned it into a war of attrition. While Russian casualties are enormous, he may be betting that time is on his side, given Russia’s larger population and economy. Eventually, Ukraine’s will to fight may erode, as will Western support. # ⚓ NL Times ☛ Human_trafficking_in_Groningen_is_a_bigger problem_than_city_authorities_realize:_study⠀⇛ There are more victims of human trafficking in the city of Groningen than the authorities know about, according to a study by the Center for Child Trafficking and Human Trafficking (CKM) commissioned by the municipality. Over half of care providers and professionals think they’ve had contact with multiple human trafficking victims in the past two years. # ⚓ La Prensa Latina ☛ Democracy_in_Colombia_is_in_danger, claims_Foreign_Ministry⠀⇛ Speaking at the Ministry’s headquarters, Deputy Foreign Minister Jorge Rojas described the situation as serious, and considered that the maneuver against the president seeks to take that process to the Commission of Accusation of the House of Representatives and later to the Senate. He warned that one of the objectives might be to promote Article 109 of the Constitution to declare the president unworthy and remove him from office. According to Rojas, it is a very dangerous procedure that begins by ignoring presidential immunity. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ US_states_sue_TikTok_for_harming_children's_mental health⠀⇛ The factual allegations outlined in the suit include that the app is designed to be addictive and that it misrepresents itself as safe for children. It is also argued that minors are particularly susceptible to the harmful influence of the platform. The plaintiffs allege that despite there being internal documentation to show that the company knows the harmful impact of its product, it has continuously misrepresented itself to be a safe space and exaggerated the effectiveness of in-built features designed to combat addiction. The suit particularly observes a spike in depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and suicidal ideation among youth across the nation, a claim which is buttressed by various research studies. Different sources were cited to demonstrate how widely the platform is used by children, and also how addictive it can be. # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_Former NATO_Chief_to_Chair_Munich_Security_Conference_From February⠀⇛ #

Now the creator of a new HBO documentary thinks he may have solved the riddle. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ France24 ☛ 'Irreversible'_environmental_disasters_loom_as global_temperatures_rise,_new_study_finds⠀⇛ A major study published on Wednesday warns that even temporarily exceeding the 1.5°C global warming limit could lead to irreversible consequences, including rising sea levels and mass biodiversity loss. With global emissions still rising, scientists stress that hopes of reversing climate overshoot without drastic action are dangerously misguided. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Our_Climate_Is_So_Screwed_Up,_It_Rained_in_the Sahara_Desert⠀⇛ "It's been 30 to 50 years since we've had this much rain in such a short space of time," Houssine Youabeb of the Moroccan General Directorate of Meteorology told the AP. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Hurricane_Milton_Shows_How_a_Storm’s_Category Doesn’t_Tell_the_Full_Story⠀⇛ But while Milton’s wind speed was reduced, the inundation of water forecast for Florida remained just as massive as before. Tampa, a city of 3 million that hasn’t taken such a direct hit in a century, faces a storm surge of 10 to 15 feet, along with nearby St. Petersburg and Sarasota, according to the National Hurricane Center. This comes less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene pushed an 8-foot surge into the area. Central and northern Florida could also see 12 inches of rainfall, with up to 18 inches in isolated areas. That Milton could decrease in category but still threaten such a high storm surge and volume of rainfall shows a major shortcoming of the Saffir–Simpson scale, by which we assign hurricanes categories 1 through 5: It’s based solely on wind speed, even though in an era of climate change, hurricanes have been unleashing more and more water on cities. That has left hurricane forecasters trying to move beyond these categories and convey the risk of storm surge and flooding, so people will still evacuate even if wind speeds slacken. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ 2024-10-10_[Older]_Trump,_GOP_Push Misinformation_on_Hurricanes_as_Climate_Crisis_Intensifies⠀⇛ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2024-10-10_[Older]_Hurricane_Milton_slams_Florida: What_you_need_to_know⠀⇛ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2024-10-10_[Older]_What_if_you_can’t_afford_to_flee_a hurricane?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2024-10-10_[Older]_These_Floridians_couldn’t_flee Hurricane_Milton._They’re_incarcerated.⠀⇛ # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ 2024-10-09_[Older]_Amid_Hurricane Milton,_GOP_Reps_Are_Blocking_Climate_Action⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_Climate_Crisis_Made_Ocean Heat_Driving_Milton_Up_to_800_Times_More_Likely⠀⇛ # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_WTTC_Reveals Significant_Decrease_in_Travel_&_Tourism’s_Climate_Footprint Emissions⠀⇛ # ⚓ Renewable Energy World ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_Minneapolis Climate_Action_takes_equitable_approach_to_combating_climate change⠀⇛ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_How_Hurricane_Milton_exploded_into a_terrifying_Category_5_storm_in_just_hours⠀⇛ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_Is_FEMA_messing_up?_An_expert weighs_in.⠀⇛ # ⚓ Copenhagen Post ☛ 2024-10-07_[Older]_Overview:_Denmark’s climate_policies_and_latest_progress_to_net_zero⠀⇛ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2024-10-07_[Older]_Leaked_recordings_detail_a_major environmental_agency_quietly_gutting_its_workforce⠀⇛ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2024-10-07_[Older]_This_awkward_fish_works_harder than_you⠀⇛ # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ FAIR ☛ ‘The_Insurance_Industry_Is_the_Fossil_Fuel Industry’:_CounterSpin_interview_with_Derek_Seidman_on insurance_and_climate⠀⇛ Janine Jackson interviewed writer/researcher Derek Seidman about insurance and climate  for the October 4, 2024, episode of CounterSpin.

Among Bitcoin buffs and cryptocurrency journalists, the mystery of Mr. Nakamoto’s identity has been the subject of fierce debate and painstaking investigation for more than a decade. But nothing has been proved conclusively, and a handful of bungled attempts to crack the case — most notoriously a 2014 Newsweek cover story that put the blame on a physicist, Dorian Nakamoto, who turned out to have nothing to do with Bitcoin at all — have only muddied the waters. # ⚓ NDTV ☛ US_Airbnb_Host_Hit_With_Rs_1.25_Lakh Electricity_Bill_After_Guests_Mine_Rs_84_Lakh_In Crypto⠀⇛ An Airbnb host in the US was forced to add 'no cryptocurrency mining' to the list of instructions after a bizarre guest experience. According to Business Insider, Airbnb host Ashley Class revealed in a video posted to TikTok that she had banned [cryptocurrency] mining in her short-term rentals after she got a massive electricity bill of $1,500 (approximately Rs 1.25 lakh). The guests initially seemed like model renters. They were "five stars all the way," Ms Class said, with no issues or hiccups during their three-week stay. However, this was until the guests made her rental property a makeshift [cryptocurrency]-mining hub and ran up $1,500 in utility charges. # ⚓ Six Colors ☛ Putting_my_solar_(power)_system_in_my menu_bar⠀⇛ It was a busy summer at the Snell house. Our roof predated our purchase of our house, and we’ve been in this house 25 years, so… yeah. We needed a new roof. Getting a new roof was an opportunity to add a rooftop solar power system and update our HVAC system, so we went all in, and all summer I coordinated with three different companies, all of whom wanted to spend time on my roof, or attaching things to the side of my house, or rewiring things on the inside. # ⚓ CBC ☛ Was_bitcoin's_mysterious_creator_a_Canadian?_A new_HBO_documentary_says_yes_(maybe)⠀⇛ In the 15 years since bitcoin was first created, no one has been able to crack one mystery: the true identity of the creator, known only as Satoshi Nakamoto. Now, a new HBO documentary has opened the case files again to point the finger at a new candidate: Canadian [cryptocurrency] expert and software developer Peter Todd. # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-10-04_[Older]_Thailand:_Cats and_elephants_threatened_by_monsoon_flood⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ 2024-10-10_[Older]_Gazing_at_your dog_can_connect_your_brains,_research_shows⠀⇛ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ 2024-10-09_[Older]_Rethinking_Dry Forest_Management_in_a_Warming_Climate⠀⇛ # ⚓ EcoWatch ☛ ‘We_Are_Reaching_Points_of_No_Return’:_WWF Report_Finds_Wildlife_Has_Declined_73%_in_Half_a Century⠀⇛ In the report, the scientists said species loss could speed up along with increased global heating, precipitated by tipping points in the Arctic, the Amazon rainforest and marine ecosystems. This could lead to disastrous consequences for humans and the environment. “We are dangerously close to tipping points for nature loss and climate change. But we know nature can recover, given the opportunity, and that we still have the chance to act,” said Matthew Gould, chief executive of ZSL, as reported by The Guardian. # ⚓ Kiel University ☛ Elephants_remember_zookeepers_after many_years⠀⇛ The results are also interesting for keeping elephants in zoos. Because if the pachyderms really do remember their keepers for so long, then this suggests that they are pretty important to the animals. A stable relationship with their human caregivers can therefore potentially have a very positive effect on the well-being of zoo elephants. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2024-10-10_[Older]_What_to_Know About_This_Year's_Social_Security_Cost-Of-Living_Adjustment⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2024-10-07_[Older]_Tips, Overtime,_Social_Security:_A_Look_at_Donald_Trump's_No-Tax Pledges_and_What_They_Might_Cost⠀⇛ # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ 2024-10-10_[Older]_Turkish_banking_giant_Yapı Kredi_discriminates_against_visually_impaired_customer⠀⇛ o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Tim_O’Hare’s_Rise_in_Texas_Shows_the_Far Right’s_Vision_for_Local_Government⠀⇛ Over the past two decades, Tim O’Hare methodically amassed power in North Texas as he pushed incendiary policies such as banning undocumented immigrants from renting homes and vilifying school curriculum that encouraged students to embrace diversity. He rode a wave of conservative resentment, leaping from City Council member of Farmers Branch, a suburb north of Dallas, in 2005 to its mayor to the leader of the Tarrant County Republican Party. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Battle_Over_Ballot_Drop_Boxes_Rages_On_in Wisconsin⠀⇛ They are squat, stationary and seemingly innocuous. But ever since the high drama of the 2020 presidential election, humble drop boxes have been more than a receptacle of absentee ballots; they’ve morphed into a vessel for emotion, suspicion and even conspiracy theories. In the battleground state of Wisconsin, especially, the mere presence of these sidewalk containers has inspired political activists and community leaders to plot against them, to call on people to watch them around the clock and even to hijack them. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ The_Downfall_of_FTX’s_Ryan_Salame_and Crypto_Advocate_Michelle_Bond⠀⇛ He was a wealthy cryptocurrency executive with a shiny white Porsche and a luxury condo in the Bahamas. She was a crypto policy expert with political ambitions, advocating for the industry in Washington. A romance blossomed after they were brought together by an unlikely matchmaker: Sam Bankman- Fried, the founder of the collapsed FTX crypto exchange. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ White_House_is_prioritizing_secure_ [Internet]_routing,_using_memory_safe_languages⠀⇛ Speaking at a Recorded Future event Wednesday in Washington, D.C., Coker said the White House is looking at next steps to secure Border Gateway Protocol, or BGP, which directs data through the most efficient [Internet] route via thousands of public and private networks. The White House wants to advance BGP security through the adoption of security mechanisms known as Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI). The White House last month announced its plans to have RPKI in place in more than 60% of the federal government’s advertised IP space by the end of the year. # ⚓ The Record ☛ OpenAI_disrupts_20_campaigns_to_misuse_its tech_as_federal_officials_mull_international_use_of_AI⠀⇛ OpenAI said it has disrupted more than 20 operations this year by nation-states and affiliates to abuse its technology and use it for a range of malicious activity. The AI giant published a 54-page report Wednesday detailing efforts by actors from China, Iran, Russia, Israel and other countries to do everything from writing more sophisticated malware code to rewriting phishing emails and Twitter posts. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Indian_tycoon_Ratan_Tata,_respected_for_his business_acumen_and_philanthropy,_dies_at_86⠀⇛ Ratan Tata, a pillar of India's proud but dwindling Zoroastrian Parsi community, who led the Tata Group for decades, died in a Mumbai hospital on Wednesday night, aged 86. His years at the helm of a family business empire founded under British colonial rule saw the Tata Group expand its global footprint. Back home, Tata was renowned for his group's myriad charity projects. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Elon_Musk's_Starlink_Gives Hurricane_Helene_Victims_Free_Internet_For_30_Days—With_A $400_Catch⠀⇛ According to Baughman, it was not worthwhile for residents to accept Musk's offer, considering that it would take "months" before they could receive service. By then, normal [Internet] access would likely have been restored. "Assuming someone can get over the one or two, if not more, bridges that are down and physically get their hands on the device, you still need electricity to run the thing," Baughman said. "Thousands of people are out of power still and hundreds if not thousands of those don't have a generator." # ⚓ [Old] Business Insider ☛ Bill_Gates_Is_Still_Pulling Strings_at_Microsoft,_Overseeing_AI_Ideas_-_Business Insider⠀⇛ Publicly, Gates has been almost entirely out of the picture at Microsoft since 2021, following allegations that he had behaved inappropriately toward female employees. In fact, Business Insider has learned, Gates has been quietly orchestrating much of Microsoft's AI revolution from behind the scenes. Current and former executives say Gates remains intimately involved in the company's operations — advising on strategy, reviewing products, recruiting high-level executives, and nurturing Microsoft's crucial relationship with Sam Altman, the cofounder and CEO of OpenAI. In early 2023, when Microsoft debuted a version of its search engine Bing turbocharged by the same technology as ChatGPT, throwing down the gauntlet against competitors like Google, Gates, executives said, was pivotal in setting the plan in motion. While Nadella might be the public face of the company's AI success — the Oz who built the yellow- brick road to a $3 trillion juggernaut — Gates has been the man behind the curtain. "What you read is not what's happening in reality," another Microsoft executive said. "Satya and the entire senior leadership team lean on Gates very significantly. His opinion is sought every time we make a major change." # ⚓ [Old] LXer ☛ LXer:_Microsoft_Getting_Closer_to_the_Fire⠀⇛ A dispute that has kept the House Ethics Committee from considering Majority Leader Tom DeLay's activities may have ramifications for Microsoft. When one begins to untangle the remarkable political organization created by Microsoft and lobbyists Preston, Gates Ellis et al, you find some uncanny coincidences. The ethics committee, the House's mechanism for enforcing rules for members, has operated for exactly one day since Congress convened in January. In the meanwhile, a former Preston, Gates and Ellis lobbyist, Jack Abramoff has become the target of several serious investigations and the focus of the D.C. media. Abramoff left Preston Gates in 2000. Even so, he's a problem for the firm's management. Reports have surfaced questioning Abramoff's financing of travel for lawmakers, especially House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas). All of the spending under investigation happened while Abramoff worked at Preston Gates. # ⚓ [Old] LXer ☛ LXer:_Following_Bill_Gates'_Linux_Attack Money⠀⇛ In the same letter he writes, "One of Microsoft's high-level executives says (published) that freely distributed software code such as Linux could stifle innovation and that legislators need to understand the threat." Little doubt exists that Microsoft has reached legislators. In an earlier article added to this one below, we discussed how a dispute in the House Ethics Committee has kept the members from meeting and considering House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's activities that could have ramifications for Microsoft. In making legislators aware of many issues, the Redmond company's financial reach may be part of why the committee has delayed their investigation. Perhaps everyone involved hopes that a delay will allow the heat to pass on this and other issues. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ Podcast_Episode_Rerelease:_So_You_Think_You’re A_Critical_Thinker⠀⇛ With this year’s election just weeks away, concerns about disinformation and conspiracy theories are on the rise. We covered this issue in a really enlightening talk in March 2023 with Alice Marwick, the director of research at Data & Society, and previously the cofounder and principal researcher at the Center for Information, Technology and Public Life at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Russian_propagandists_push_fake_story_that Zelenskyy_bought_Hitler's_car⠀⇛ In fact, the article with headline "Hitler's parade car bought by Ukraine's Zelensky" was another fake spread by Russian propaganda. There is no such media outlet as the Seattle Tribune, just a website masquerading as a full-fledged publication. And the article itself was a compilation of Russia's disinformation "greatest hits" about Ukraine — "Nazism," "unrestrained corruption" and "wasting American aid." # ⚓ Futurism ☛ No,_SpaceX's_Starlink_Internet_Isn't_Free for_All_Hurricane_Survivors⠀⇛ IT expert Kenny Baughman, who lives in the Helene-hit area of Boone, North Carolina, told the Register that Starlink's misleading offer was a "play on desperation." (Baughman also left a comment in a post-hurricane help group on Facebook calling the offer a "crafty bait and switch.") "When someone comes along and says I'm going to give you free [Internet], people start going nuts," Baughman told the Register. "Starlink is pulling on the heartstrings of people overwhelmed by disaster." # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ What_the_White_House_is_doing_on Reddit⠀⇛ This has been quite a week for disinformation across the [Internet]: Some of the lies being spread as storms batter the Southeast come from accounts that belong to everyday users posting sensational images with the help of AI, but some have come directly from elected officials, such as Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump, who are using the storm to fuel a political agenda. Debuting on Reddit this week was a way for the White House to push back against misinformation, Christian L. Tom, the White House director of digital strategy, told me earlier today. “We view Reddit as a good example of a service that allows people to align around shared interests,” including specific topics and locations, Tom said. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ I’m_Running_Out_of_Ways_to_Explain_How Bad_This_Is⠀⇛ The truth is, it’s getting harder to describe the extent to which a meaningful percentage of Americans have dissociated from reality. As Hurricane Milton churned across the Gulf of Mexico last night, I saw an onslaught of outright conspiracy theorizing and utter nonsense racking up millions of views across the [Internet]. The posts would be laughable if they weren’t taken by many people as gospel. Among them: Infowars’ Alex Jones, who claimed that Hurricanes Milton and Helene were “weather weapons” unleashed on the East Coast by the U.S. government, and “truth seeker” accounts on X that posted photos of condensation trails in the sky to baselessly allege that the government was “spraying Florida ahead of Hurricane Milton” in order to ensure maximum rainfall, “just like they did over Asheville!” # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Hurricane_disinformation_leads_to_danger, experts_say⠀⇛ Disinformation and conspiracy theories have spread quickly in response to natural disasters in the southeastern United States, creating distrust in the government response, according to the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. “It is absolutely the worst I have ever seen,” FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell told reporters on a Tuesday call. The spread of lies surrounding the natural disasters comes at a time when social media infrastructure will allow “virtually any claim” to amplify and spread, experts say. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ On_TikTok,_AI-generated_'Russian'_women deliver_pro-China_messages_with_sales_pitch⠀⇛ A joint investigation by Voice of America and social media analytics firm Doublethink Lab uncovered several accounts on TikTok like Alina's and Lisa’s that feature videos of Russian women generated by artificial intelligence, or AI. All the accounts emerged around July and August and followed a similar pattern of leveraging patriotic sentiment to bolster China-Russia ties before going on to promote products. # ⚓ The Washington Post ☛ How_China_is_using_X_to influence_local_elections_in_2024_campaign⠀⇛ The accounts are part of Spamouflage, China’s largest known covert influence operation, which often uses prolific distribution techniques to spread Chinese Communist Party talking points across the [Internet]. Active since at least 2017, the network has posted on more than 40 [Internet] platforms, according to the digital forensics research group Graphika. But the recent campaigns illustrate a shift in China’s strategy, as it seeks to actively influence political discourse in the United States. Once focused on promoting positive narratives about the CCP, Chinese propaganda campaigns are increasingly weighing in on local and national elections and posting about hot-button U.S. political issues, such as police violence, Black Lives Matter and immigration, experts said. # ⚓ Axios ☛ TikTok_users_rely_on_content_creators_—_not journalists_—_for_news⠀⇛ Why it matters: Instead, they are relying on creators, entertainers and influencers to deliver the news — even as mis-and- disinformation campaigns continue. State of play: More than half of Americans say they at least sometimes get news [sic] from social media platforms, according to Pew. # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ Hurricane_Helene_Is_a Disinformation_Super_Bowl⠀⇛ Fewer than 30 days from Election Day, authorities responding to the devastation of Hurricane Helene are not just battling downed trees, washed-out bridges and wrecked power lines to get food, medicine, water and shelter to Americans bereft in the storm’s aftermath. They’re also fighting a flood of disinformation and misinformation about those in need and about the federal response – much of it spread by partisans of former President Donald Trump who see a political advantage in portraying rescue and recovery efforts as hapless or nonexistent. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Monument_Honoring_Soviet_Victims_Finally_Erected_In Siberia,_Despite_Officials'_Roadblocks⠀⇛ Sources familiar with the project to build the new monument, which flies in the face of Putin's narrative, told RFE/RL on October 10 that the idea dates back to 2008, when the Nizhnevartovsk city administration held a competition to design it. Despite initial momentum, the project stalled for years, with officials citing various logistical reasons. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Hong_Kong_court_rejects_activist_Jimmy_Lai's_bid to_have_a_jury_trial_for_libel_case⠀⇛ Lai, the founder of the now-defunct Apple Daily newspaper, is one of the city's leading activists who was prosecuted under a sweeping national security law during Beijing's crackdown on dissent. He has been the subject of criticism by pro-Beijing media outlets for years. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Ukrainian_Journalist_Viktoria_Roshchyna_Dies_In Russian_Captivity⠀⇛ Ukrainian journalist Viktoria Roshchyna, who had gone missing in Russian-occupied territories, has been confirmed dead while in Russian captivity, Ukrainian authorities reported on October 10. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Ukrainian_journalist_dies_in_Russian_custody⠀⇛ A journalist taken captive by Russia while reporting in eastern Ukraine has died in custody, Ukrainian officials announced Thursday. Viktoria Roshchyna, 28, had been in detention for over a year. Her death in Russian custody was announced by a spokesperson for Ukraine's prisoner- of-war unit. # ⚓ CPJ ☛ Cameroon_bans_reporting_on_President_Paul_Biya’s health,_whereabouts⠀⇛ “The Cameroonian government should simply put the rumors to rest by arranging a public appearance by the head of state,“ said Angela Quintal, head of CPJ’s Africa program, in New York. “The health of the president, who has been in power for 41 years and may seek re-election next year, is of public interest. Any misguided attempt to censor reporting about his health for national security reasons simply fuels rampant speculation.” # ⚓ CPJ ☛ U.S._complaint_filed_against_Salvadoran_officer_in 1982_killing_of_Dutch_journalists⠀⇛ The U.S.-based Center for Justice and Accountability filed the complaint on behalf of Gert Kuiper, Jan’s brother, in collaboration with human rights groups Fundación Comunicándonos and ASDEHU of El Salvador, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, where Reyes Mena lives. The four Dutch journalists were with leftist rebels when they were killed in 1982. A report issued by the United Nations Truth Commission in 1993 concluded that Reyes Mena participated in planning the ambush of the journalists. # ⚓ The Dissenter ☛ The_Reporting_That_Led_Israel_To_Arrest, Detain,_and_Prosecute_An_American_Journalist⠀⇛ Loffredo openly defied a Israeli military censor, which thousands of other international journalists have allowed to influence what they publish on Israel's war on Gaza # ⚓ NPR ☛ Taylor_Lorenz_leaves_'Washington_Post'_after_rift with_editors⠀⇛ When tech columnist Taylor Lorenz left the Washington Post last week, she did so with a splash: An interview with The Hollywood Reporter about launching her own digital magazine, called User Mag. # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Observer_sale_latest:_Former_editors_issue protest_to_Scott_Trust⠀⇛ Three former Observer editors have written to the Scott Trust expressing their “profound concern” over the proposed sale of the newspaper to Tortoise Media. Will Hutton, Roger Alton and John Mulholland have together racked up 20 years editing the UK’s oldest Sunday newspaper. # ⚓ France24 ☛ FRANCE_24's_journalist_under_investigation_in Russia_after_reporting_from_Kursk⠀⇛ Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Monday that it has opened criminal cases against foreign journalists for "illegally" crossing the border between Ukraine and Russia's Kursk region. # ⚓ ANF News ☛ European_delegation_of_journalists_calls_for action_against_any_attack_on_media_workers⠀⇛ A joint delegation of Kurdish and foreign journalists living in European countries has been holding talks in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq for three days to find out more about the background to the murder of journalists Gulistan Tara and Hêro Bahadîn. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_A_National_Movement_To Organize_Amazon_Takes_Off⠀⇛ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ 2024-10-10_[Older]_Dell Forces_Employees_To_Return_To_Office_With_Two-Day_Notice 'Because_That's_What_Amazon_Is_Doing' [Ed: Dell wants to cause people to resign to lessen severance payments and PR problems associated with mass layoffs]⠀⇛ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Court_Reminds_Cops_That_Smelling_Decriminalized Weed_Ain’t_The_Probable_Cause_It_Used_To_Be⠀⇛ If there’s anything that’s going to severely reduce the number of pretextual stops performed by cops, it probably won’t be the handful of traffic stop reform efforts being made by legislators. It’s going to be the continued legalization (or decriminalization) of marijuana possession. One of law enforcement’s favorite tricks is to pull over a car for bullshit reasons, pretend officers smelled marijuana, and engage in a warrantless search in hopes of finding something far more illegal than the pretense that initiated the stop. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Court_Reminds_Cops_That_Smelling_Decriminalized Weed_Ain’t_The_Probable_Cause_It_Used_To_Be⠀⇛ But “odor of marijuana” is no longer as effective as it used to be. Smelling marijuana now just means smelling a legal substance in many cities and states. It’s like a cop initiating a search after saying they smelled gasoline. Smelling burnt marijuana is the hot new action, since it means officers could be dealing with someone driving under the influence. # ⚓ Smithsonian Magazine ☛ A_Rare_Monet_Painting_Has_Been Returned_to_the_Family_of_Its_Rightful_Owners—Eight_Decades After_It_Was_Stolen_by_the_Nazis_|_Smithsonian⠀⇛ After eight decades, a Nazi-looted Claude Monet painting stolen during World War II has finally been returned to its rightful owners. The artwork—Bord de Mer (Seaside)—could be worth up to $700,000. Painted around 1865, the hazy pastel depicts rocks along the beaches of Normandy, which Allied forces would later storm on D-Day in 1944. # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ The_Texan_Doctor_and_the_Disappeared_Saudi Princesses⠀⇛ Four daughters in the royal family were kept drugged and imprisoned for almost two decades. A physician who tried to free them speaks out for the first time. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Spotify_Says_Employees_Aren't_Children —_No_Return_to_Office⠀⇛ Spotify says it has noticed no impact on productivity or efficiency since moving to a more distributed way of working. It has offices located in cities across the globe and in most major cities in the United States and Europe. Spotify’s chief concern is about the potential impact remote work can have on collaboration and innovation. To that end, it has begun working with the Stockholm School of Economics to conduct research into how remote work impacts collaboration and innovation. # ⚓ SBS ☛ A_crop_top_on_a_flight?_The_outfits_that_could_get you_kicked_off_a_plane⠀⇛ It's led many social media users to point out the sexist differences in dress codes and how they're enforced. These are Australian airlines' rules about what you can and can't wear on a flight. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ RIPE ☛ Tim_Bruijnzeels:_Patching_Internet_Vulnerabilities with_RPKI⠀⇛ The White House recently announced plans to boost Internet routing security in the US through improved RPKI coverage. So how does RPKI help secure BGP? How easy is it to boost coverage on a national level? And what's the future potential of the infrastructure? Our guest Tim Bruijnzeels shares his views. # ⚓ Inside Towers ☛ Carriers,_FCC_Prepared_for_Milton’s Impact⠀⇛ Carriers serving Florida areas predicted to be impacted by Hurricane Milton were preparing assets and staff before the storm to maintain emergency communications and expedite restoration. The FCC activated its Disaster Information Reporting System for Florida, to keep a close eye on communications outage data in the coming days and do what’s necessary to support recovery and restoration efforts. The agency also activated its Mandatory Disaster Response Initiative, which requires cooperation between wireless carriers to minimize the impact of communications outages, Inside Towers reported. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Pluralistic:_Cars_bricked_by_bankrupt_EV company_will_stay_bricked⠀⇛ There are few phrases in the modern lexicon more accursed than "software-based car," and yet, this is how the failed EV maker Fisker billed its products, which retailed for $40-70k in the few short years before the company collapsed, shut down its servers, and degraded all those "software-based cars": [...] § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o ⚓ India Times ☛ US_plan_to_break_up_Google's_search_dominance threatens_profit_engine,_AI_growth⠀⇛ The U.S. Department of Justice's proposed remedies to break up Google's search dominance could weaken its main profit engine and stall its advances in artificial intelligence, even though a final outcome may be years away, analysts said. o ⚓ CBC ☛ Ticketmaster_changes_Taylor_Swift_ticket_transfer_rules amid_reported_ticket_thefts⠀⇛ The ticket sales giant recently updated its website to say ticket transfers for Swift's concerts can only start 72 hours before the event. Previously, Swifties could transfer tickets between Ticketmaster accounts at any time. Representatives for Ticketmaster confirmed the rule but did not respond to questions about the reason for the change. o ⚓ [Old] Philip Greenspun ☛ Why_Bill_Gates_is_Richer_than_You⠀⇛ Should the government be suing Microsoft for violating antitrust laws? Perhaps. But doesn't it seem kind of odd for government lawyers to be typing Microsoft Word documents about how bad Microsoft is? If the federales were serious about increasing competition in the world of software it would be much more effective simply to convert government operations to open-source software. For very small organizations it may not make sense to use open-source software. The cost of hiring a programmer to add a feature or two to Linux or Open Office, for example, can't be recovered if you only have five employees to use the feature. But the U.S. Government has millions of employees. Whatever it costs to improve the open-source software that the feds use will be much less than the government currently pays to Microsoft in license and upgrade fees. And, by releasing those improvements back to the community, the U.S. Government will greatly strengthen the market for open-source software and support. o § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ 2024-10-09_[Older]_Tariffs_and_Government- Granted_Patent_Monopolies:_Bad_and_“Good”_Forms_of Protectionism⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_Pfizer, BioNTech_Win_Bid_to_Invalidate_CureVac's_UK_COVID_Vaccine Patents⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2024-10-07_[Older]_Supreme_Court_Denies_Certiorari_in Cellect_v._Vidal⠀⇛ # § Kangaroo Courts⠀➾ # ⚓ IP Kat ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_[Guest_Post]_UPC_Munich Local_Division_rules_that_advertising_products_under the_same_name_creates_a_risk_of_patent_infringement [Ed: UPC is illegal and should not even exist; this blog helped promote the illegality]⠀⇛ # § Software Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Truthdig ☛ The_Wonks_Who_Refuse_to_Apologize_for NAFTA_-_Truthdig⠀⇛ In his recent appearance on Ezra Klein’s podcast, Harvard economist and Obama administration enforcer of neoliberal consensus Jason Furman was teed up to express at least some remorse for the Americans who were devastated by deindustrialization. Klein noted that a number of economists have argued that the human costs of deindustrialization were far higher than was predicted during the fights over NAFTA and similar free-trade agreements. It was a softball windup designed to give Furman the opportunity to say “The human costs in these places was deeply unfortunate, and we should have done far more to help them, but …”. And then he could go on to treat the terrible costs of deindustrialization as some minor downside to the overall benefits of globalization. o § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ IP Kat ☛ 2024-10-03_[Older]_[Guest_Post]_Hands_off_my cheese!_ASIAGO_struggles_for_protection_in_Australia⠀⇛ # ⚓ IP Kat ☛ 2024-10-07_[Older]_Colour_combination_position trade_mark_not_distinctive⠀⇛ # ⚓ [Old] International Trademark Association ☛ Trademark Dilution_(Intended_for_a_Non-Legal_Audience)⠀⇛ Unlike trademark infringement, trademark dilution does not necessarily involve the unauthorized use of a mark in connection with goods or services that are confusingly similar to those offered in connection with the famous mark. For example, the unauthorized use of FERRARI as a brand of harmonicas may not be trademark infringement, but it may be trademark dilution, even though harmonicas and luxury automobiles are so unrelated that consumers are unlikely to believe Ferrari harmonicas come from the famous automaker. Trademark dilution protects marks that are so well- known, highly reputable, or famous that jurisdictions have decided they deserve protection whether or not their unauthorized use is likely to cause consumer confusion. # ⚓ [Old] New York City Bar ☛ Trademark_Infringement_Law_- Trademark_Dilution_Law⠀⇛ If a trademark becomes famous, like Nike or Xerox, the owner can also sue for trademark “dilution.” Dilution happens when a trademark’s distinctive quality is blurred or tarnished by another mark. There does not have to be any likelihood of confusion. The trademark is tarnished when a similar mark is placed on an inferior product of lesser quality, even if it is a totally different product. # § Right of Publicity⠀➾ # ⚓ The Korea Times ☛ South_Korean_man_arrested_for creating_and_selling_approximately_4,300_deepfake_sex videos_of_72_female_celebrities⠀⇛ Police said Tuesday they have arrested a man in his 20s on charges of creating 4,313 sexually explicit deepfake videos of 72 female celebrities and selling them online. The man created the deepfake pornographic videos with a self-developed program using generative artificial intelligence and earning 3.83 million won ($2,839) by selling them between January and March this year. # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ How_Nobel_Prize-Winning_Physics 2024_inspired_AI’s_in_Cyber_Security⠀⇛ Imagine receiving a phone call from your CEO asking for an urgent transfer of $200,000. The voice is unmistakable, but what if it wasn’t your CEO at all? This is the terrifying reality of deepfake fraud, where cybercriminals use AI-generated voices to impersonate high-level executives and commit fraud. In 2023 alone, deepfake fraud attempts surged by a staggering 3000%, signaling that businesses must now be more vigilant than ever before. As cybersecurity threats grow more sophisticated, businesses need AI-driven solutions that can outpace attackers. This article explores how Nobel Prize-winning physics has inspired AI advancements in cybersecurity, laying the foundation for more effective defenses against emerging threats. o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ TikTok_Seeks_Smaller_Indie_Payouts Amid_Merlin_Split:_Report⠀⇛ Taking a step back, it’s worth reiterating that the controversial platform has in recent years quietly made a number of moves seemingly designed to bypass labels altogether. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Flawless_IPTV_Kingpin's_11-Year_Prison Sentence_Upheld_at_Court_of_Appeal⠀⇛ In May 2023, five men behind one of the most successful pirate IPTV services ever seen in the UK, were sentenced to more than 30 years in prison following a private prosecution by the Premier League. Flawless TV leader Mark Gould received an unusually harsh 11-year custodial sentence but hoped that the Court of Appeal would be a little more sympathetic. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Appeal_Court_Affirms_Piracy_Liability Verdict_Against_ISP_Grande,_Vacates_$47m_Damages_Award⠀⇛ The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed a copyright infringement verdict against Internet provider Grande, which failed to take action against allegedly pirating subscribers. The jury's $47 million damages award in favor of the major music label plaintiffs is vacated. According to the Court, individual tracks that are part of an album, should not be counted as separate works. # ⚓ IP Kat ☛ 2024-10-07_[Older]_The_German_LAION_decision:_A problematic_understanding_of_the_scope_of_the_TDM_copyright exceptions_and_the_transition_from_TDM_to_AI_training⠀⇛ # ⚓ IP Kat ☛ 2024-10-08_[Older]_[Book_Review]_The_Routledge Companion_to_Copyright_and_Creativity_in_the_21st_Century⠀⇛ ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 5861 ➮ Generation completed at 02:49, i.e. 6 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
