🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Terminated_by_IBM⦈_ IBM's CEO Arvind K. (often called "Alvind" by insiders, sometimes just AK, his initials) is nonchalantly attributed or credited with the sale of Red Hat to IBM. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing (to Red Hat? To IBM?) is perhaps not what matters most here, but there's a new sub-thread_today_that discusses_how_it_came_about,_mentions_"software_patents",_and_whether_the attribution_for_the_sale_is_warranted. Here are three messages that are hours or minutes old (those certainly sound like insiders wrote them): Alvind was an executive bulls**t artist prior to becoming CEO. He was known for wasting his time and energy on pointless trivial pursuits and wasting money on worthless research projects in various divisions of IBM that he was assigned to. Blame the losers at the top like Palmisano and Rometty for this mess - they gave the crown to this charlatan, since they assumed India was the bright jewel in their crown. It isn't, at last not any more. Alvind the Indian was in the Software group but contributed nothing of value to anything that was going on, except to say he was financing projects as the leading executive of the group. Perhaps you can go and search for any software patents that has his name on it as someone who worked on any important commercial software project. I'll bet that someone else did the background research on Red Hat to evaluate it's potential and Alvind simply took the credit and then became CEO. Happens all the time. IBM was simply bankrolling Red Hat during the good times till they decided to buy it - every IBM executive around would love to claim credit for making that decision. Alvind talks a good game to get onto the New York Bank board but is he capable of doing anything of value there ? Not in this writer's humble opinion, except it makes him look good to show up at photo opportunities. You can be a dullard but still be in the right place at the right time and get your photo in the press to make yourself look important and wise. If you have enough money (and influence) you can buy off people, corporations, and even their silence when you do wrong. If Trump can do it, why not Alvind with the enormous finances from IBM ? Why does IBM buy the silence of the plaintiffs, when they lose age discrimination lawsuits ? Why aren't the NDA's made public ? It's a corrupt corporation and as we know - all bad things come to an end, just like all good things. The response: It sounds like you think buying Red Hat was a fantastic move any executive would love to have credit for? How was a $34B pay good in terms of the ROI so far especially as a huge debt costs paying interest on the equivalent of $34B?! Looks like the biggest flop in the history of corporate M&A . IBM buys companies then waste them. How was buying the Weather Company ended...? Just an example... The crazy IBM's debt looks to me a bankruptcy is close as the interest on such debt could ki-l IBM's cash flow. Next step could be eliminating the dividends just like Intel was forced to do. Intel is like the IBM to be in the near future? Ana back again: No, no one really knows how any purchase will turn out and I'm not saying any IBM executives know how things might turn out (or not) - same as anything else in life. IBM first dipped their toe (dabbled) in the software business in the mid 1990s when they paid 2 Billion bucks for Lotus Development Corp. which was a huge sum in those days. They learned from that experience and moved on to buy other good purchases like Rational etc. The margins were better for software and services compared to only hardware and I believe that both areas still profitable. It allowed them to fund the Open Source projects like Red Hat and Apache too. But the Red Hat cost was a huge number, and it was a make or break IBM deal. IBM mgmt believes in secrecy so the numbers never come out if they recovered that money they spent or not. They didn't break it down for Lotus or Rational software purchases either. But you're right about wasting companies - but Lotus Notes / Domino was in use all over IBM (it still is if you can dig around in the right places and you'll find a few Domino servers still running in 2024) . IBM was the biggest customers of their own product. LOL ! Notes was like a dr-g and they couldn't wean themselves off it. Those Lotus (IRIS) guys knew what they were doing, when they sold the company to IBM, because they designed and built an exceptional product, that is still running today. HCL is now selling it. IBM leadership has always been clueless but there were a few smart executives in the past who knew what they were getting into. You can't say the same for Palmisano, Rometty or Alvind though. Nothing but a bunch of egotistical and greedy fools who have run the company into the ground. It's destined for the scrap heap of history and not for another century of greatness. There will not be a phoenix rising from the ashes either. Just my rambling 0.02c ! There's another_thread_about_impending_layoffs. Some people see some signs or writings on the wall. Posted in the past day are two comments. One said: "Expect at least 2 layoffs in each of the next few years which are typically around the end of the first and third quarters. We will have to see if that changes when the new CEO is announced though it is hard to believe it will change as the new CEO will probably continue on the same track since at this point IBM only has cost cutting as its tool to show that the company is not totally dead." And latest: "It’s IBM - layoffs are ALWAYS on the table every quarter" (remember_that_IBM_and_Red_Hat_are_the_same_thing;_with_the_NDAs,_it's_hard_to differentiate_silent_IBM_layoffs_from_silent_Red_Hat_layoffs, a_la_Kyndryl, which has the_same_issues). Red Hat layoffs would be more stubbornly concealed by IBM because the people behind the sale (IBM's CEO apparently) have to justify the considerable spending to the shareholders. If Red Hat was acquired as a "future direction" and valuable "asset", then layoffs there would serve to dispute that hypothesis and signify terrible leadership. █ ⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⣠⣶⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠉⠉⠉⠛⠻⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠶⣶⣷⡀⠀⠉⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠙⠉⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⠄⠰⣀⡀⠀⠀⢀⣻⣿⣶⣦⠤⠤⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⡿⢿⣄⡀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⣀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡾⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡏⣉⣿⡟⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⢸⡿⠉⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⢛⣩⣼⣿⠘⢏⠉⠉⣯⣤⣮⡿⠷⢿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢲⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⣋⣩⣴⡟⠀⠘⡄⠀⠉⠛⣉⣤⣶⡾⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢫⣀⠀⠀⠉⠻⠿⣿⣿⡿⠟⣻⡆⠀⠀⠐⠄⠀⠀⠈⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣾⣿⡇⠀⢴⣄⡑⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠛⠉⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣜⠳⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠁⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢁⠉⠙⠛⠤⠐⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠻⣟⠻⣿⣿⡟⠿⢿⠇⠀⠀⢀⣿⣷⣴⣶⡶⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣝⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⣤⡄⠀⠀⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⢉⣀⣾⣶⡤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣦⡀⠉⢷⠀⠀⠉⠙⡛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠀⠉⠁⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣉⣤⡄⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣀⠀⠀⣀⣰⣿⣿⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠇⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠓⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⡴⠶⠚⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣨⣿⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣷⣾⣿⣿⢿⡿⠃⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣩⣶⣿⣷⣆⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⠃⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣾⣿⣿⡛⠃⠀⢠⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢠⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠖⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠈⠻⠛⠦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⠿⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⡈⠢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢄⡀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣷⡄⠠⠀⢹⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⢶⠶⠆⣾⠿⣛⠿⡿⢿⡿⣿⡏⠒⠿⠿⡻⢿⣏⣲⢶⠶⠎⢿⠿⢿⡿⠿⡛⠛⠃⣴⠶⣦⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣎⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣠⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⣾⡇⣸⠭⣿⠸⠯⣍⢸⡇⣿⢸⢫⢹⡎⣿⣿⢸⠸⢸⢫⢸⢫⣽⡆⢷⢠⠏⡄⠶⢋⣼⠏⢿⣿⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⣽⠧⢙⣒⣛⣘⣒⣚⣼⣇⣛⣘⣸⣘⣣⣿⣿⣘⣀⣘⣸⣮⣓⣚⡵⣚⡟⣸⣧⣒⣼⡅⢠⣌⣻⣿⣦⡉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠙⠿⢋⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣁⣀⣤⣶⣵⣤⣼⣿⣄⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⡿⢿⣿⠙⠈⠛⣿⣝⠻⢿⣷⡾⠛⠉⠉⠛⠻⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠟⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣉⣩⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠛⠛⣋⣉⣩⣥⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣥⣤⣶⣶⣾⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣋⣭⣥⣤⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⠁⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⢀⣠⡤⠐⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⣶⠦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⠏⢀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣋⣉⣉⣽⣿⣦⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣶⣿⠗⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣾⣿⣿⡀⢠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⢛⣻⣿⣭⣭⣥⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⢠⡀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣛⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⢻⣿⣛⣛⣉⣉⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣤⣤⣄⠀⠀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⠿⢿⣿⠿⠟⠛⠛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⠥⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⡏⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⣠⠀⣾⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣮⣼⣿⣿⣟⡛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠛⢛⣿⣿⠷⢿⣿⡄⠀⠈⠩⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣉⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠸⢭⡟⠀⠘⢛⣛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠃⠠⣿⣿⣷⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠋⠙⠉⠁⠀⠀⠙⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠝⣽⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣄⢰⡄⣀⡀⠀⣠⠒⠦⠀⣀⠁⣄⣛⢛⣋⠀⢙⣛⢁⠈⡽⣟⡻⢸⡇⡉⡍⣉⡿⢟⠻⢿⡻⣿⠉⠹⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣄⠀⢸⠈⢾⠾⣅⡽⠀⠳⣀⡰⢠⡒⡇⡇⡸⠸⠀⠀⢒⣒⠀⠀⠇⣒⡂⠘⠃⡇⡇⣿⡇⡀⠂⢐⡢⢸⢸⢸⢠⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣭⣤⣤⠶⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣿⣦⣀⠀⠀⣠⠔⠒⠛⠿⠀⠀⣄⠀⠀⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣿⣷⣶⣶⣷⣶⣿⣷⣶⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠟⠋⠉⠀⣀⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⡀⡇⢠⠒⡄⡤⠂⠔⡭⢫⢹⢩⠝⢯⠩⢛⡅⡗⡩⠫⣉⠝⢼⢸⡏⡕⢯⢫⢫⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠶⠿⠿⠛⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠇⠘⠤⠂⠇⠀⠀⣧⣼⣸⣸⣤⣼⣸⣔⣇⣧⣑⣔⣈⣢⣺⣼⣧⣣⣜⠈⣎⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 278 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2024/10/14/EPO_Administration_Wait_Several_Months_or_Until_Next_Year_for_C.shtml Gemini version at https://techrights.org/n/2024/10/14/EPO_Administration_Wait_Several_Months_or_Until_Next_Year_for_C.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ EPO Administration: Wait Several Months or Until Next Year for Clarifications⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 14, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Medical⦈_ THE EPO is stressing_the_workers_financially and morally (especially the new recruits who replace experienced examiners, aren't paid enough, and still see the total number of examiners decreasing in spite of a rise in workload). A couple of recent publications at the EPO's intranet [1, 2] mention the cost of health/insurance. Given the dire mental state of many workers (it's the job's fault!), both psychologically and physically, such coverage would likely be imperative. Just before the weekend the Local Staff Committee The Hague (LSCTH) circulated the following communication to more colleagues, perhaps urged to calm some of them down because (to quote) "questions are still pending" and many workers worry that their income is watered down by many unforeseen expenses (not envisioned_when_joining_the_Office). Here's the full message from the LSCTH: § Cigna and VECOZO network - To opt in or not to opt in? What we know so far⠀➾ After the intranet announcements of 18 September and 27 September and recent emails from CIGNA concerning opting into the VECOZO network, colleagues have been contacting us with queries and requests for guidance. For the time being, what we know is that:  * There is no obligation or time limit for staff members to opt- in. The deadline of 11th October in the email you received from Cigna was only to guarantee registration with VECOZO by 1st January 2025. A later opt-in date will only lead to a delay in the registration date of some weeks or months;  * Opting-in to the VECOZO network makes it easier for the administration of the healthcare providers in the Netherlands to identify that an EPO staff member is insured.  A lot of questions are still pending, some of which we have put to the administration in our recent meeting of the sub-committee of the GCC on social security, remuneration and pensions, for example whether it is possible to opt-out further down the line and implications for the coverage and reimbursement. We were told that we can expect some responses to the questions after consultation with Cigna. We further requested that additional information be provided to staff so as to clarify the full scope of the implications of opting-in. The administration informed us that further intranet announcements can be expected in November and December, and that an information session is foreseen for all staff in the Hague in January 2025. [...] António_Campinos has given up on basic duties; not only does he break the law*, he's also letting the health of staff languish away. It means that the very people who do all the work at the Office will die younger and poorer (while the rich get richer with their monopolies). People should commend the work done by LSCTH. At least some people at LSCTH still have the courage to speak out. █ _____ * There have been many illegal schemes, set aside the granting of European software_patents - i.e. patents which are both illegal and undesirable. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣋⣉⣭⣭⣭⣴⣾⣿⣶⣤⣶⣶⣤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣤⡄⠀⢀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⠶⠶⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⣉⣉⣉⣭⡅⠀⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿ ⣿⡁⠀⣈⠁⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠈⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣉⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢛⠫⠭⠍⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⠂⢀⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣀⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣖⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣟⣛⣿⣯⣽⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠷⠿⠟⢛⣛⣩⣤⠄⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⠾⠿⠿⢿⣛⣛⣻ ⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣄⣀⣠⣤⣤⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⣿⣿⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠩⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠛⠛⣛⠋⢉⣥⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠈⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡟⡟⠿⣯⣛⣯⣥⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⡏⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠐⠻⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⢿⣻⡿⣏⣉⣻⣧⣽⣭⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠻⢿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠃⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣙⣃⣿⣴⣽⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠓⠚⠛⠫⠭⠕⠒⠉⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⠛⢉⣉⣁ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠋⠉⢉⣀⣠⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡤⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠉⣁⣀⣠⣤⣤⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣟⣿⣿⣽⢿⣫⣑⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 398 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2024/10/14/History_Education_and_Rejecting_Creation_Myths.shtml Gemini version at https://techrights.org/n/2024/10/14/History_Education_and_Rejecting_Creation_Myths.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ History Education and Rejecting Creation Myths⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 14, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇School_Desk_Chalkboard_Inkwell⦈_ The creator of Linux isn't the creator of GNU/Linux.

Similarly, an associate now tells us that, contrary_to_known_facts: "It seems Microsofters are pushing more revisionist history regarding Kildall and CP/M vs MS-DOS. There may be something to that..." Science_and_verifiable_facts still matter to us, so we'll continue to reject revisionism in all its forms. As we said the other day, there's plenty of "business value" in revisionism. That's where the "money" is... that's why Groklaw_perished and Wikipedia is still going, funded_by_Bill_Gates_and Microsoft_to_distort_history (unlike_Wikileaks). To be clear, GNU_started_41_years_ago.

We feel empowered but also privileged to have earned the trust of EPO insiders, based on coverage we did about the EPO since 2007 or thereabouts. A year ago we phased out the wiki and instead made static pages out of it; the reasons were practical, especially seeing that a lot of Web traffic is abusive (mindless scraping) and generally expensive (it bypasses caches and stresses the back end). Old pages remain in tact (e.g. Benoît_Battistelli and António_Campinos), but we no longer update them. We therefore encourage people to follow_us_via_RSS_feeds, i.e. directly with updates reaching one's "inbox" or whatever (depending on the program used). We will never do social control media because it would be a shot in our own foot. Another possibility is to follow this_"Chronological_Index"_of_our articles. It's being updated in real time. One last option is our_IRC_network, where feedback can be fed back in real time. Our_IRC_network_is_thriving and has been virtually troll-free for about a year. This past weekend we didn't publish a lot because we're preparing an in-depth series tentatively scheduled to be published next year. Sometimes we write detailed material for future dates. It has more impact that way. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠮⠕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠘ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣽⣿⣿⣿⣯⠻⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⣶ ⠀⢀⡄⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣼⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠀⠁ ⣾⣿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⣰⣤⡀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⠻⢿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠂ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣷⣦⣴⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⢠⣶⣶⣶⣶⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⢹⠀⢻⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠠⠶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠂⠱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠋⠸⣿⣿⣿⠏⠋⣉⣉⣩⣤⡬⠍⠛⠒⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⢻⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢾⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⡿⠃⠀⠈⣉⣹⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⠿⠟⠒⠛⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠈⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⣾⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠠⠬⠿ ⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⠀⣰⣾⣿⣿⣯⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢶⣶⣦⡌⢿⡍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣶⣾⣿⣷⠄⠀⣠⣾⠋⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣦⣽⣿⣿⣿⣆⢀⠀⣤⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠛⢛⣛⣯⣀⠀⠈⠉⠛⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⠃⣾⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠀⢠⣿⠏⠀⠀⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⠀⠀⠀ ⣉⣁⣠⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⢀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦ ⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣀⣀⠀⠄⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠋⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢻⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣯ ⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣩⣉⣿⣦⣀⢘⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡈⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠁⠈⠛⢿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣷⣶⠍⠛⣅⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⠁⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣶⣶⣤⣤⣶⣼⠛⠁⢀⣤⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣛⣛⡛⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣫⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠻⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣬⣭⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣷⣶⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣷⣦⣤⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠉⠙⠛⠟⠡⣾⣷⣀⣶⠆⣠⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣾⣿⠙⣯⡙⠛⢻⡟⠉⠈⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠲⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠁⠈⢹⠙⠛⠋⠀⠉⠁⠢⢼⣇⠀⠀⠠⣤⣤⣿⣿⣴⡎⠀⠀⠀⢰⣷⣄⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⠛⢿⣿⠿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠘⣿⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⢨⡭⠷⠂⠈⠛⠛⠛⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⡀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⡆ ⢻⡆⠈⢿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠁⢠⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⡆⣠⣴⣶ ⠘⣿⠀⠸⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡟⠀⣿⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣄⣴⡾⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣄⢻⡇⠀⢻⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⡘⢿⡿⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣴⣎⣠⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⢀⠄⢠⣶⣤⡍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣷⣠⣄⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⠛⠋⢀⡀⢀⡀⠈⠀⠀⡎⠉⠉⠻ ⣿⣿⣿⡻⣿⣿⣦⣤⣀⣀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣙⠷⠤⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠈⠀⢸⣿⣟⣁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢻⣿⣿⣷⣌⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠛⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣦⠙⣿⣿⣿⣷⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡙⢿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢄⠠⣬⠙⠷⣼⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⢻⣾⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣋⢹⣿⡟⠿⣯⠳⢄⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣯⣷⡌⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢠⣧⢸⡇⢀⡤⢤⠞⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⢃⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⡀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣦⡀⠲⢶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⣸⣿⣾⣳⠏⢀⡄⢠⠀⠀⠀⠉⢀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣠⣭⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣵⣢⢄⡲⠀⠀⣠⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡄⣀⣠⣿⣿⣎⠊⢸⣷⣾⠄⠀⢄⣦⣿⠟⢉⣁⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣭⣅⣄⣹⢋⡙⡙⠗⠒⠲ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣴⣦⠀⢀⣧⡿⠋⡇⣠⣾⣿⡏⠰⣤⠈⢿⢁⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⠋⠀⢼⣿⡗⣦⡁⡙⢿⣿⠁⠸⣿⣊⣴⡟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⡇⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⢽⣷⣼⡟⠀⠖⣿⣥⡿⣿⣦⡉⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠇⠀⢿⣿⣿⡶⢺⣿⣿⠇⠀⣾⣟⣏⣘⣿⣿⣿⣦⡙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⢰⣿⣿⡿⠗⣼⣿⡟⠀⣶⣿⣿⠏⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⢽⡄⣸⡟⢀⣾⣿⣿⢏⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⡏⠀⠹⣿⡿⢺⢁⡟⠀⣼⣿⠿⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⡇⠀⢲⣿⣷⠎⡜⠀⣴⣿⢃⡼⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠃⠀⣾⣿⠛⠀⠀⢨⣿⢏⠌⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⢸⡟⠀⣸⡿⠷⠀⠀⣠⣿⠋⣎⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠃⣰⣿⣷⠀⠃⣠⣿⠋⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠁⠈⠀⣸⣿⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⡄⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢰⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢿⣿⣧⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 589 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2024/10/14/IRC_Proceedings_Sunday_October_13_2024.shtml Gemini version at https://techrights.org/n/2024/10/14/IRC_Proceedings_Sunday_October_13_2024.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IRC Proceedings: Sunday, October 13, 2024⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 14, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Black_ink_drawing_of_a_Japanese_castle⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GN 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_Gedit⦈_ #techrights_log #boycottnovell_log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GN 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_Gedit⦈_ #boycottnovell-social_log #techbytes_log =============================================================================== The corresponding text-only bulletins for_Tux_Machines and for_Techrights contain all the text.

Web Survey, and Its Future is Uncertain⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 14, 2024, updated Oct 14, 2024 This latest_snapshot shows a lot of red: (is Microsoft scaring_away_its "slaves"?) 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇github.com_Website_Analysis_for_September_2024⦈_ SOMEBODY TOLD us over the weekend that GitHub has (and was having) issues. It's not hard to tell. Heck, the offices of GitHub were permanently shut down (not all of them) and many technical workers got laid off in several waves (they were pressured to sign NDAs about these layoffs, according to media reports we saw). Considering voluntary departures and people's retirement - not to mention workers whose "contract" (temporary) work simply reached its "expiry" (a loophole exploited a lot since 2020) - it's difficult to tell just how much smaller GitHub became in recent years. Did it reduce headcount by 20%? Did it reduce payable hours by 20%? Maybe more? Who knows... Remember that Microsoft keeps close to its chest the operations and finances of GitHub (because it's embarrassing!), so we must rely on leaks and/or whistleblowers. Almost exactly 2 years ago TechCrunch_wrote_about_GitHub: "Four years after being acquired by Microsoft, GitHub keeps doing its thing" (this was the headline and principal supposition). It is losing money, yes! Definitely! Lots_of_money_lost! That's basically what GitHub always did. There's no real business model and "doing its thing" means deepening Microsoft growing debt (to fake some "growth"+), which exceeded_100 billion_dollars. 6 years ago the_MBAs'_outlet tried to explain "Why Microsoft Is Willing to Pay So Much for GitHub" (which merely loses money; it's like Elon Musk offering to buy Twitter, which was very deep in debt and constantly losing money; the_company_is_now_worth_less_than_its_debt). Someone reminded me that "[i]t's nearing the anniversary of the loss of GitHub to MSFT or was that in June of 2018? Either way, six years have gone since the exodus from GitHub. Revisiting stats on the exodus would be useful. Friedman was involved there. The finances are very suspect..." As we already showed, citing Microsoft's very own statistics, a year after GitHub was bought many projects left and fewer projects than before were added to GitHub. Microsoft accidentally admitted this when it attempted to show off (about the pandemic's impact). GitHub does not have a future, not a long-term future anyway. Microsoft now tries to "monetise" it with plagiarism-as-a-service (disguised as "AI") and it's instead getting sued, hence creating another crisis (e.g. causing GitHub's operational costs to increase even further). GitHub (as a site and company) has not been around for many years, unlike_UNIX. GitHub just lost lots and lots and lots of money, so many people rode the "free" hosting (allured by the false perception of cost-savings through outsourcing). Git will continue to exist and can prevail until something_better arrives. Gitlab_is_deep_in_debt and is reportedly looking for an "exit" (a buyer*), so the business model certainly isn't there. The plan is to exercise control over developers and projects gullible enough to think the losses will continue and the companies are some kind of "charities". They're not. There was one rude awakening a few years ago when Gitlab said it would remove all "inactive" projects to save money (resulting in massive backlash and temporary reversal). █ _____ + Measured in highly misleading terms in order to justify managers' bonuses. For instance, IBM uses its profit to buy new companies for their profits, giving the illusion of growing profits. Of course this is how IBM ends up over 60 billion dollars in debt, but nobody pays attention to that; just watch the profits that IBM is buying, dear Wall Street. This is a form of financial engineering. * It's not merely the subject of speculation. Lots of media reported about it in recent months. There were active negotiations behind closed doors. ⣿⣿⠻⠟⠛⠿⠿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠿⠿⠟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⡟⠿⠿⠟⠿⢿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠿⠿⠿⢟⠻⢻⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠿⡛⠟⡟⠿⠛⠿⠛⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⣿⣿⣉⣉⣋⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣏⣙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣏⣙⣉⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣃⣩⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣑⣙⣉⣋⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⢿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⣿⣿⡻⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⣿⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣾⣷⣾⣶⣾⣾⣿⣯⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣒⣀⣐⣓⣒⣒⣀⣀⣀⣁⣀⣁⣀⣀⣉⣉⣉⣁⣀⣀⣉⠉⢿⣿⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢛⡛⣛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠈⣿⠀ ⣿⡟⠻⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡻⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠻⠛⠻⠛⠛⠻⠟⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠾⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀ ⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣻⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⠀ ⣿⣿⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣛⣛⣛⣛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⡇ ⣿⡿⠿⡿⢿⣟⣻⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣭⣟⡻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣏⣟⣻⣿⣯⣿⣏⣉⣍⣉⣉⣹⣟⣭⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣮⣭⣛⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⡇ ⣿⡟⠛⠟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣯⣝⣛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣿⣶⣷⣴⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣼⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠟⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⣛⣛⣻⣟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⢛⣛⣛⣿⣽⡿⣛⣚⣛⣛⣻⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⣽⣟⣾⣯⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⢸⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣏⣻⣻⣏⣹⣏⣙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⡿⣿⣟⣾⣯⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣟⡿⣯⣟⣿⣯⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣟⣿⣯⣟⣷⣯⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⢉⣟⣈⣃⣫⣉⣉⣉⣹⣠⣈⣁⣹⣀⣏⣰⣮⣻⣈⢭⣗⣊⣉⣉⣁⣩⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣭⡭⣭⣭⡭⣭⣭⣽⣭⣭⣥⣭⢭⣭⣭⣭⡬⣽⣭⣩⣭⣭⢭⣭⣭⣭⣍⣽⣭⣭⣭⡭⣧⣭⣭⢭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠶⠒⢾⠲⠶⢲⠖⠷⠶⣶⡶⠲⢲⠲⠲⠶⠳⡖⠲⠶⠶⠾⢲⠶⠦⠶⠲⢶⣦⣷⣶⣶⣦⣿⣶⣶⣦⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣒⣒⣒⣒⣛⣛⣉⣉⣛⣛⣛⣛⣉⠙⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⢿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠈⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢻⣛⡋⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣿⣿⣿⣟⢋⣽⣿⣿⣭⣭⣽⢿⣿⣿⣯⢙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠙⠇⣿⣿⣀⣸⣞⣖⣚⣾⣗⣞⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠏⡀⠒⠢⠁⠆⠈⠛⢿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡿⣣⠶⠋⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠉⠟⠂⠒⠿⠿⠿⠿⣻⣿⣤⡀⣹⣿⠿⢿⠛⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⣺⠤⣀⣿⣇⠀⣴⣾⣯⣭⣿⣿⡿⠋⢀⠀⠀⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠈⠽⣿⡇⣿⣿⣤⣼⣏⣿⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣥⣼⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠫⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠜⠗⠁⠚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⣿⡏⣴⣿⣿⣿⣦⠌⠀⢻⣿⡿⣿⣛⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠂⢀⣤⣵⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠂⣠⣔⡄⠀⠆⠄⢰⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⣤⣆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣶⣾⣬⣤⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⢀⣠⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠈⠋⠘⢃⠀⠠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣷⣵⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠙⠃⢛⣿⠛⢻⢼⠭⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣙⡙⣶⡯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠣⡀⣤⣿⣷⡀⣠⣶⡀⠐⣴⡇⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣦⡆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡖⠀⠀⠈⠙⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣴⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣕⠹⠋⡙⡚⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣤⣼⠳⢻⡲⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣴⣤⣶⣴⣴⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢸⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣯⠽⠛⠆⢦⣿⣽⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠛⣹⡿⣿⡻⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⣠⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢋⡄⣴⣿⣤⣼⣩⣍⣯⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣷⣦⢤⣿⣿⡿⣹⣿⣷⣿⡇⣿⣿⣫⣭⠭⣭⢭⣭⣭⠭⠭⣭⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣽⣛⣒⣛⣚⣛⣓⣓⣓⣛⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1123 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2024/10/14/Over_at_Tux_Machines.shtml Gemini version at https://techrights.org/n/2024/10/14/Over_at_Tux_Machines.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Over at Tux Machines...⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 14, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇My_watercolour_version_of_Vincent_Van_Goghs_portrait_1889.⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ 1. ⚓ Inkscape_1.4_Open-Source_SVG_Editor_Released_with_Filter_Gallery, Modular_Grids⠀⇛ Inkscape 1.4 has been released today for this powerful open- source, cross-platform, and free SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) editor. 2. ⚓ Switching_from_Microsoft_Windows_11_to_Linux_is_like_Columbus discovering_America⠀⇛ Switching to Linux is like Christopher Columbus discovering America ⚓ New⠀⇛ but in ways both good and bad 3. ⚓ You_can_actually_run_Linux_on_the_RISC-V_cores_of_the_Raspberry_Pi_Pico 2’s_RP2350⠀⇛ usability is quite limited at the time of writing. 4. ⚓ Programming_Leftovers⠀⇛ Programming related picks again 5. ⚓ today's_leftovers⠀⇛ Security, Games, and more 6. ⚓ Audiocasts/Shows:_This_Week_in_Linux,_GNU_World_Order,_and_Linux_Out Loud⠀⇛ 3 new episodes 7. ⚓ Open_Hardware/Modding:_Raspberry_Pi,_Arduino,_and_Framework_13⠀⇛ hacker-friendly laptops and more 8. ⚓ Content_Management_Systems_(CMS):_Kiwi_TCMS,_Secure_Custom_Fields_in WordPress,_and_Joomla⠀⇛ Some CMS picks 9. ⚓ Linuxiac_and_Medevel_on_Free_Software⠀⇛ Some software picks from these two sites 10. ⚓ Android_Leftovers⠀⇛ It’s almost 2025, and it’s time to end the Android vs. iPhone debate 11. ⚓ Kate:_A_Refreshing_Open-Source_Code_Editor_to_Replace_Boring_Options⠀⇛ You probably knew Kate editor by KDE.

circulated among colleagues. The letter itself isn't very new (the date on the letter is weeks ago) but the issue is still very much relevant. "This letter on behalf of the Local Staff Committee the Hague was sent to the administration on 6 September," they say, "with a reminder on 26 September. On that day the administration replied that they will revert back to us in the coming weeks." We're already in the middle of October and EPO management seems not to care. Benoît_Battistelli and António_Campinos never cared about staff. Here's the full letter, dated about 5.5 weeks ago: European Patent Office Patentlaan 2 2288 EE Rijswijk NETHERLANDS Local Staff Committee The Hague dhstcom@epo.org Date: 06-09-2024 To: Ms Simon, Mr Rowan, Cc: Ms Cadenau, Mr El Hadouchi By email § Education allowance – DISDH: German School The Hague⠀➾ Dear Ms Simon, dear Mr Rowan, I am writing to bring to your attention a new ramification of the Education and Childcare allowance reform which is creating some unrest for the colleagues concerned. When the reform was launched back in 2021, not all the schools covered by former Art. 120a ServRegs were included into the transitional measures regulated by Art.20 CA/D 4/21. The amount of the direct costs invoiced by the school being above the education allowance ceiling was the discriminating factor giving entitlement to the transitional measures. The Office was of the opinion that schools below the ceiling did not need any transitional measures and never would. However, only 3 years after the launch of the reform, we have a school (i.e. DISDH – German School The Hague) with costs originally below the ceiling, now being above. This leaves the colleagues who were excluded from the transitional measures in 2021 with needing to finance the difference between the ceiling and the direct costs invoiced by the school. In our opinion our colleagues should not be in this situation or at disadvantage when compared to others, and it is only fair to apply promptly appropriate remedies. Additionally, in the DISDH there is a particular situation stemming from the structure of the school. The school year for children 4 to 5 years old is considered a kindergarten year with associated costs well above the ceiling. This was already the situation back in 2021 (see Annex 1), and it is the situation today (see Annex 2). This could lead to the situation where some children are included in the transitional measures while others are excluded, depending on their 2021/22 school invoice and year in the school. We are ready to meet you to shed some light into this situation and find an agreeable solution for our colleagues. Thanks in advance for your assistance, Kind regards Isabelle Brandt On behalf of the Local Staff Committee The Hague There are several more pages in the_full_PDF. The school costs gnaw away at the workers' income. 3 children can easily cost about 100,000 euros a year (when working overseas), not taking into account just schools but also peripheral costs. As we shall show in the next article, the EPO is slashing and cutting things despite high inflation and despite the EPO having record "profits" owning to it breaking_the_law_to_grant_many_fake_patents. The scheme isn't just illegal; it is extremely harmful to Europe. It's not the staff that's benefiting from the corruption; few people at the top (and their friends in "the industry") do. When an institution is so eager to gradually reduce or spoil something for profits' sake, even break the law, it's time to put an end to it. █ ⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣾⣽⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣷⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠘⠛⠋⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣛⡛⢛⣿⣿⡻⣿⣿⣿⡟⠙⢛⡟⢛⢿⣿⡿⢻⣿⡿⡟⢿⢿⡟⠛⠋⣿⣿⡟⣻⣟⢛⣿⡟⣟⢻⣿⢿⠻⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣟⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣟⣿⠻⣿⣟⣟⣿⣻⢿⣿⣻⣿⣿⠟⣿⣟⣿⣿⡻⢿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡿⢿⡿⢿⡿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣷⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⣿⡿⡿⣛⢿⢿⣿⡟⣛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡿⡿⣿⢿⡿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢿⡿⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣶⣾⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⣿⣽⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣟⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣏⣟⣟⣭⣿⣻⣻⣟⣿⣯⣿⣟⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⣽⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1600 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Gemini Links 13/10/2024: ArcMenu, Emacs decide-mode, Midnight Pub Mass-Deletion Option⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 14, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Beautiful_Woman_Mixed_Media_Art⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ a_written_thought(?)_a_written_think(?),_written_thinking (?),_can_such_be_achieved?⠀⇛ a: idk does it matter: probably not so here's words that are in ink therapist search - on two waitlists, another has been e-mailed, making three - any of them will work. sooner = better # ⚓ week_41_-_shadowplay_tarot⠀⇛ oof, it's been an extremely busy one, y'all. full of errands taking me all over the city. idk if i want to get into the details as i'm topping the week off with an epic headache. but it wasn't all jobs! i'm happy to have squeezed in a day for myself early on in the week. i finally had a date with myself and went downtown to replenish my collage stash and gather some other odds and ends (like thrifted table runners to serve as tarot cloths - in colors to complement my current tarot decks better). it was a resounding success, so much so that both the artsy magazine and the nature book i found got me fired up for a project. i wanted to see if i could complete an entire collaged tarot deck from either of them. # ⚓ ArcMenu_and_light_gaming⠀⇛ While fussing around and making a 'za I downloaded ruffle for Linux, and can play .swf games now. RaidenX was the first download. Addictive as hell game that is in tribute to Raiden (80s arcade). Soon, Pimps Quest and Shore Acres I & II. # ⚓ ICON_49_Panels⠀⇛ In the last few years, I've pared back on a lot of the events I've gone to. Mostly it was a combination of money (tale as old as capitalism) but also time commitment (conventions means I ignore parental duties for a weekend which has always been a source of contention). Also, it was the returns of time and effort. As an extrovert, I absolutely love talking to people and having a table to hawk my books is great, but I haven't really written or published anything recently to lure the folks who already have all my books to a table. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Emacs_decide-mode_0.10.0_Random_Renerators⠀⇛ I just pushed version 0.10.0 of decide-mode to GitHub. It is hopefully reasonably stable. I have an open issue with some reports about things not working well in some Emacs versions. Anyway this is the current list of examples (not a full list of all features or key-bindings) from the README, that I think sums up quite well what kind of random things are supported now: [...] # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ pre-apology⠀⇛ I am deleting some entries here. m15o is making a mass-delete option for M.p soon as he says, but until then I am going through one by one and deleting the entry or replacing the entry contents (if replies, it won't let me delete) =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Amazing! I can only gawk at the implications! And very appropriate is that day **ZERO** lands precisely on Lee's birthday. My subconscious also acknowledged this small nugget of "truth". I dreamed last night of Lee. We met in a commodious transit station full of diaphanous haze. Yes, my dreams often feature ostensibly open spaces with walls or barriers or even membranes in the receding distance instead of pressing against one's senses. This may be a reflection of my claustrophobia. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ A_benchmark_of_three_different_floating_point_packages_for the_6809⠀⇛ I recently came across another floating point package for the 6809 [1] (written by Lennart Benschop) and I wanted to see how it stacked up against IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)-754 [2] and BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) [3] floating point math. To do this, I wanted to add support to my 6809 assembler [4], but it required some work. There was no support to switch floating point formats—if you picked the rsdos output format, you got the Microsoft floating point, and for the other output formats, you got IEEE-754 support. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Dabbling_in_gemtext⠀⇛ Around 1997 I took my first steps into the web at my school's computer room. Just a bit later I learned html through a magazine. Soon I had my own connection to the internet. I could write a lot about how it felt to wait an hour to download a file that's a meager Megebyte big, and hoping it didn't get corruptetd while saving to a 3,5" floppy disk. But that's not the point of this rambling. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Unit_testing_from_inside_an_assembler,_part_IV⠀⇛ I'm not terribly happy with how running unit tests inside my assembler [1] work.

Clear asserts that focusing on the processes and habits that lead to desired outcomes rather than fixating on the outcomes themselves can shift your mindset toward continuous improvement and adaptability. o ⚓ Leon Mika ☛ Why_I_Keep_Multiple_Blogs⠀⇛ I’m currently keeping four separate blogs: this one, one for checkins to places I’ve visited, one for remembering how to do something for work, and one for projects I’m working on1. This arrangement came about after a few years of spinning out and combining topics to and from a single blog, generally following the tension I felt after publishing something, wondering if that was the right place for it. As strange as it is to say it, this multi- blogging arrangement gives me the lowest amount of tension for writing online. o ⚓ Amit Patel ☛ SDF_curved_text⠀⇛ These are common in cartography, not only in fantasy maps like Tolkein’s but also in real-world maps. Eduard Imhof’s classic 1975 paper, Positioning Names on Maps has a ton of great advice on how to position labels, and not only recommends curving text, but also sketches out examples: [...] o ⚓ Robert Birming ☛ Inspired_by_Everyday⠀⇛ Even if a text doesn't explicitly describe a specific event, it's often the underlying inspiration. Something I've seen, something I've heard, something someone has done. o ⚓ YLE ☛ Tove_Jansson_archipelago_film_premieres_in_London⠀⇛ The movie was filmed in the summer of 2023 in Finland, including archipelago locations in Kotka, Porvoo and Espoo, according to the official Moomin website, which also offers the first clip from the film to be released. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Antipope ☛ Conceptual_models_of_space_colonization⠀⇛ I'm thinking morose thoughts about the practical prospects for space colonization (ahem: stripped of the colonialist rhetoric, manifest destiny bullshit, "the Earth's too fragile and vulnerable to keep all our eggs in one basket", and the other post-hoc attempts at justification) and trying to sort them out in case I ever feel inclined to go back to writing the sort of medium term SF epic that Kim Stanley Robinson nailed in his Mars trilogy in the 1980s. And what I'm nibbling on is, to paraphrase Oliver Cromwell, the big question of what if all our models or paradigms for how to structure a colony effort are wrong? # ⚓ Redowan Delowar ☛ Topological_sort⠀⇛ I was fiddling with graphlib in the Python stdlib and found it quite nifty. It processes a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), where tasks (nodes) are connected by directed edges (dependencies), and returns the correct execution order. The “acyclic” part ensures no circular dependencies. Topological sorting is useful for arranging tasks so that each one follows its dependencies. It’s widely used in scheduling, build systems, dependency resolution, and database migrations. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Google’s_triumph_on_the_Nobel_stage_resolves a_50-year-old_mystery⠀⇛ AlphaFold 2, an AI model developed through Google’s DeepMind initiative, cracked the code for predicting complex protein structures from amino acid sequences. It resulted in the accurate prediction of nearly 200 million known proteins. AlphaFold has been used by over two million researchers globally, in areas such as antibiotic resistance and creating enzymes capable of breaking down plastics. # ⚓ [Old] International Planetarium Society ☛ Article_by_Jim Louden_-_1987_-_International_Planetarium_Society,_Inc.⠀⇛ I claim the best way to generate support for space exploration is simply to tell people what it's already discovered. We're talking education, not propaganda, and no hard sell is necessary. In my experience, and contrary to what you might expect, people get bored very quickly with "relevant" or "practical" presentations of space, such as sermons on spinoff. What turns them on is black holes and the volcanoes of Io and how many two-billion-atom- bomb-equivalent explosions it took to cover the moon with overlapping 50-mile craters and why the clouds of Venus are made of concentrated sulfuric acid. In fairness, that may just reflect my own abilities and limitations. I happen to be a good explainer of pure facts and a lousy politician. You may find different interest patterns; in fact, I'd be interested to hear if you do. Meanwhile, I think it's safe advice to say: share your interests; do what you do well; and then give your audience plenty of chance for feedback. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Alex Sirac ☛ [Article]_multilingualism_and_the_internet_– Alex⠀⇛ This post, like many others on my blog, is in English. The main reasons: [...] o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Old VCR ☛ Refurb_weekend:_the_Symbolics_MacIvory_Lisp machine_I_have_hated⠀⇛ Every collector has that machine, the machine they sunk so much time and, often, money into that they would have defenestrated it years ago except for all the aforementioned time and money. Yours truly is no exception. That machine is my first Lisp Machine and my only one actually using real Lisp Machine hardware, this Symbolics MacIvory III in a Macintosh IIci host. To date it's cost me over $6000 total, primarily its initial purchase price, but also to rehabilitate it and just keep it alive. That's nearly as much as what I paid out of pocket for my $7300 (in 2018) POWER9 Raptor Talos II Linux workstation and my $10,000+ IBM POWER6 server, which I acquired in 2010 and in 2024 dollars would be over $14,000 — and both of those machines have been substantially less troublesome. # ⚓ Crooked Timber ☛ Sunday_photoblogging:_punch_card_loom⠀⇛ Kids today probably don’t know about punched cards, but when I was at school we all had to play around with them a bit as we learnt about state-of-the-art computing …. But the technology derives from weaving, and from the Jacquard loom of 1804. # ⚓ Tedium ☛ How_Outsourcing_Led_Gateway_2000_Astray⠀⇛ Today in Tedium: Whatever your opinion of the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China, and the way tariffs often get used as a cudgel in that battle, the fact of the matter is, it represents something of a proxy battle over the United States’ place in the world of manufacturing. And computers are, quite often, in the line of fire. Earlier this year, there was a freak-out moment when it looked like Chinese-made semiconductors (including GPUs) were about to see a huge tariff hike, though that was delayed for a while. Companies that play both sides, like Apple, have had to do gladhanding to keep their tariffs low—apparently Tim Cook personally gave Donald Trump a $6,000 Mac Pro in exchange for lower tariffs on that computer’s fancy parts. We closely associate modern computing with Chinese production apparatuses, to the point where it makes no logistical sense to slap a “made in the USA” sticker on the box. But just a few decades ago, a lot more computers were assembled in the U.S. Why did that change? Perhaps the fate of a company whose boxes literally screamed Americana has a lot of the answers. Today’s Tedium considers how globalization changed Gateway 2000. — Ernie @ Tedium # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Homebrew_Gas_Chromatograph_That_Won’t_Bust Your_Budget⠀⇛ Chances are good that most of us will go through life without ever having to perform gas chromatography, and if we do have the occasion to do so, it’ll likely be on a professional basis using a somewhat expensive commercial instrument. That doesn’t mean you can’t roll your own gas chromatograph, though, and if you make a few compromises, it’s not even all that expensive. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Michal Zelazny ☛ Forward_-_Michal_Zelazny⠀⇛ The past cannot be erased or forgotten; there is experience in the past, there is wisdom there. Who I am, who we all are, is the result of what has ever happened in the past. But life lies ahead. To live is to move forward. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ TechStory Media ☛ Tech_Giants_Slash_Jobs:_August_and September_Witness_Major_Layoffs⠀⇛ The tech industry has faced another round of significant layoffs, affecting thousands of workers globally from August to September 2024. With major companies like Intel, Cisco, and Infineon announcing large-scale job cuts, this period marked the most extensive layoffs since January. # ⚓ Nick Heer ☛ Tesla_Robotaxi,_Robovan,_and_Robot⠀⇛ These announcements are almost certainly bullshit, and correctly contextualized by Gitlin. Mix the axiom “what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence” with the boy who cried “wolf!”, and the result is this media event — and that is without factoring in the usual Tesla sloppiness. These are three brand new products, all of which are purportedly future- defining, rambled about in the span of about thirty minutes on a random Thursday in October. Nothing is finished. Musk called two of the products “Cybercab” and “Optimus Robots”, but the company’s website refers to them as “Robotaxi” and “Tesla Bot”. Everything is hypothetical until proven otherwise. # ⚓ SBS ☛ Why_you_could_see_deepfake_ads_in_the_run-up_to_the next_federal_election⠀⇛ Deepfake political advertisements with videos pretending to be the prime minister or opposition leader will be allowed at the next federal election under contentious recommendations from an artificial intelligence (AI) inquiry . Voluntary rules about labelling AI content could be fast-tracked in time for the 2025 election, and mandatory restrictions applied to political ads when they are ready. # ⚓ The Washington Post ☛ This_threat_hunter_chases_U.S._foes exploiting_AI_to_sway_the_election⠀⇛ That attention underscored Nimmo’s place at the vanguard in confronting the dramatic boost that artificial intelligence can provide to foreign adversaries’ disinformation operations. In 2016, Nimmo was one of the first researchers to identify how the Kremlin interfered in U.S. politics online. Now tech companies, government officials and other researchers are looking to him to ferret out foreign adversaries who are using OpenAI’s tools to stoke chaos in the tenuous weeks before Americans vote again on Nov. 5. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Matt Birchler ☛ Home_Depot_is_finally_rolling_out contactless_payments_(yes,_the_"finally"_is warranted")⠀⇛ Contactless payments are wonderful, and this is the part of the post where I clarify that while the Apple-centric press are calling this Home Depot adding Apple Pay, technically they're adding contactless payments, which means all contactless options, including Apple Pay, will work. Google Pay, Samsung Pay, PayPal, and simply tapping your card will all work as well. # ⚓ Femte Juli ☛ The_way_to_end_Chat_Control_2⠀⇛ The European Parliament could—and should—demand for Chat Control 2 to be withdrawn before approving the new European Commission. On November 5th, the European Parliament’s LIBE committee will hold its hearing with Magnus Brunner, Austria – the new EU commissioner for internal affairs. As such, he will be responsible for Chat Control 2 / the CSAM regulation. These hearings are always a power play between the Commission and the Parliament. Often, one or several proposed commissioners will have to be replaced. # ⚓ The Trade Desk ☛ Google_never_cared_about_privacy_| The_Current⠀⇛ Among the thousands of Google internal documents made public during the U.S. v. Google ad tech antitrust case, there’s a bit of back and forth between two Google employees from September 2020 that seems to give window into the company’s thinking. One employee wrote that he received “feedback from PS [Privacy Sandbox], we should avoid direct mentions of sign-in and email consent in our MSA to align with the negotiating strategy where we will not be specific about our alternative approach for measurement and attribution." # ⚓ Alan Byrne ☛ ESPHome_room_presence_detection_with Bermuda_BLE_Trilateration_—_Home_Automation_Guy⠀⇛ In my previous smart home I used a platform called ESPresense, which used ESP devices to sniff out the Bluetooth addresses of my and my partners mobile phones. The phones were configured to transmit Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons at regular intervals, which ESPresence would listen out for. Based on the signal strength of each of these BLE beacons it could roughly determine which phone, and therefore which person, was in each room. This worked great, but it had one major drawback: I had to dedicate a whole ESP32 device to running ESPresense. I use ESP32 devices all over my home to do various jobs, and these run ESPHome. I have Everything Presence One’s and Lites doing presence detection, I have an ESP32 bed sensor that detects if we’re in bed, and I’d like to be able to use these existing ESPHome devices to do the tracking alongside whatever other job they’re already doing. # ⚓ Zimbabwe ☛ Zimbabwe_Installs_E-gates_at_Main Airport⠀⇛ Travellers with e-passports will scan their passports, their fingerprint and also their face. The system will then verify the identity of the traveller from the data and grant them access. The system will serve Zimbabwean passport holders at entry and exit points. # ⚓ CBC ☛ Why_your_brain_could_be_the_next_frontier_of data_privacy⠀⇛ Others, however, say brain data is the next frontier of privacy, and we need to pass laws to protect our brain data now. "There are obviously a lot of bad actors out in the world that are going to try to use these devices for really worrying purposes," Jared Genser, a human rights lawyer and co- founder of the Neurorights Foundation, told As It Happens host Nil Köksal. # ⚓ El País ☛ Tinder:_Hard_times_for_Tinder_and_Bumble: Why_investors_are_cashing_in_their_dating_app_stock⠀⇛ Why are investors cashing in their stocks in these companies? Various reports blame the platforms themselves for having raised in-app prices to increase earnings. But in reality, things are more complicated. Tinder has a range of rates, from $3.99 to $499. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Germany:_WWII_bomb_defused_in_Hamburg's nightlife_district⠀⇛ The discovery of a World War II-era bomb forced the partial evacuation of the Sternschanze nightlife district in the German city of Hamburg late Saturday. # ⚓ Deccan Chronicle ☛ Cyberattacks_strike_Iran's_nuclear facilities,_govt_bodies⠀⇛ Iran's nuclear facilities, along with crucial networks for fuel distribution, municipal services, transportation, and ports were also targeted [sic]. "These incidents re just a small part of the many areas spread across the country," said Firouzabadi, former secretary of Iran's Supreme Council of Cybersecurity. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Sweden_wants_EU_to_classify_Revolutionary_Guards as_terrorist_organization⠀⇛ "We want Sweden to seriously address, together with other EU countries, the incredibly problematic connection between the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its destructive role in the (Middle East) region, but also its increasing actions in various European countries, including Sweden," Kristersson told the Expressen daily. # ⚓ NPR ☛ Shocking_revelations_about_teens_in_redacted_TikTok documents⠀⇛ Kids as young as 15 were stripping on TikTok’s live feature fueled by adults who were paying for it. That’s what TikTok learned when it launched an internal investigation after a report on Forbes. Officials at TikTok discovered that there was “a high” number of underage streamers receiving a “gift” or “coin” in exchange for stripping — real money converted into a digital currency often in the form of a plush toy or a flower. # ⚓ Forbes ☛ TikTok_‘Designed_To_Be_An_Addiction_Machine, Targeting_Children’_Says_AG_Coleman⠀⇛ According to internal communications cited in the suits, TikTok found that users, especially teens, could become addicted to the app within 35 minutes of usage, typically after viewing around 260 videos. This time frame aligns with findings that TikTok videos, usually lasting only a few seconds, can quickly become habit-forming, leading to excessive screen time and impacting essential activities such as sleep, education, and personal relationships. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Internal_TikTok_documents_show_prioritization_of traffic_over_well-being⠀⇛ The papers reveal TikTok's awareness of its platform's appeal and its recommendation algorithm, which offers a seemingly endless chain of short videos. One unnamed TikTok executive noted the need to be "cognizant" of the app's impact on "sleep, and eating, and moving around the room, and looking at someone in the eyes." # ⚓ Business Insider ☛ TikTok_Knows_Its_Algorithm_Harms_Kids, Internal_Documents_Show_-_Business_Insider⠀⇛ Internal research accidentally revealed this week indicates TikTok knew its algorithm was harmful. Lawyers for children harmed by social media say the apps have long known they are hurting kids. # ⚓ The Globe And Mail CA ☛ TikTok_is_designed_to_be_addictive to_kids_and_causes_them_harm,_US_states'_lawsuits_say_-_The Globe_and_Mail⠀⇛ At the heart of each lawsuit is the TikTok algorithm, which powers what users see on the platform by populating the app’s main “For You” feed with content tailored to people’s interests. The lawsuits note TikTok design features that they say addict children to the platform, such as the ability to scroll endlessly through content, push notifications that come with built-in “buzzes” and face filters that create unattainable appearances for users. “They’ve chosen profit over the health and safety, well-being and future of our children," California Attorney General Rob Bonta said at a news conference in San Francisco. "And that is not something we can accept.

The damage from the assholes who crossed lawns was visible and having multiple pumps cleared the standing water extremely quick. I didn't see any dams or higher water level, so I returned home with some pictures and bug bites. So for now I don't know what to expect, but perhaps I'll wake up with more water outside. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ The Scotsman ☛ AI-assisted_cameras_to_detect_2_of_the riskiest_driver_behaviours_trialled_in_Scottish_first⠀⇛ Images captured by multiple cameras attached to a van are processed using AI to analyse whether a motorist could be using a phone or driving without a seat belt.

It was a point of pride for the magazine publisher: Yashica Olden, a veteran DEI officer, became the highest-ranking nonwhite employee at a company that had been roiled by a year of internal frustrations around race. Olden had a long and accomplished resume leading diversity at WPP, the United Nations World Food Program, Credit Suisse, and other major organizations. # ⚓ Nick Heer ☛ Matt_Mullenweg_and_WordPress_Hijack_the Advanced_Custom_Fields_Plugin⠀⇛ ACF was created by Elliot Condon who, in 2021, sold it to Delicious Brains.

The dream of a paperless office might actually become realised – we can now send email (and documents) from one organisation (or individual) to another via email. We can make our specialist computers applications available outside just the office and web servers / web apps come of age. # ⚓ NDTV ☛ More_Billionaires_Back_Kamala_Harris_Over_Donald Trump._Who_They_Are⠀⇛ According to Forbes, 76 billionaires are backing Kamala Harris, while 49 billionaires have been identified as supporters of Donald Trump. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ RTL ☛ 'No_laughing_matter':_'Stolen_satire'_feeds_US election_misinformation⠀⇛ The nonprofit News Literacy Project (NLP) calls such misinformation "stolen satire" - - plucking satirical content from its original context and presenting it as accurate information without a clear disclaimer.

He called the choice “a violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment” and seeded internal documents related to the decision to certain journalists to report on — which doxxed people in the process. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Tributes_to_Ukrainian_journalist_who_died_in Russian_custody ⠀⇛ Roshchyna is the 12th Ukrainian journalist to die as a result of their work since the full invasion of Ukraine, and the first to die in Russian custody, according to Oksana Romaniuk, executive director of the Ukrainian nonprofit, the Institute of Mass Information. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Harris_Rocked_the_Media_Blitz_That_Big_Media Mocked⠀⇛ The idiocy of the big media’s dismissing Harris’s interviewers can be refuted simply by its massive and varying audiences: Stern draws an estimated 10 million listeners, and his audience is three- quarters male. Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy is the number-one podcast on Spotify, and reaches 5 million listeners a week, overwhelmingly female. The View is the number-one daytime talk show, averaging 2.5 million viewers, most of them women. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is the top-rated nighttime talk show, also averaging 2.5 million viewers. Harris’s 60 Minutes appearance drew 5.7 million voters, second only to Monday Night Football. No ratings are available yet for the Univision Town Hall. It’s mathematically dubious to simply add up the shows’ viewership, since some people watch more than one, but let’s do it anyway: More than 25 million people potentially viewed Harris’s media swing; millions more likely saw the Univision special. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Alabama Reflector ☛ As_AI_takes_the_helm_of_decision making,_signs_of_perpetuating_historic_biases_emerge⠀⇛ The experiment aimed to simulate how financial institutions are using AI algorithms, machine learning and large language models to speed up processes like lending and underwriting of loans and mortgages. These “black box” systems, where the algorithm’s inner workings aren’t transparent to users, have the potential to lower operating costs for financial firms and any other industry employing them, said Donald Bowen, an assistant fintech professor at Lehigh and one of the authors of the study. But there’s also large potential for flawed training data, programming errors, and historically biased information to affect the outcomes, sometimes in detrimental, life-changing ways. # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ Millions_of_people_across_the_US_use_well water,_but_very_few_test_it_often_enough_to_make_sure_it's safe⠀⇛ About 23 million U.S. households depend on private wells as their primary drinking water source.

The move was intended to pre-emptively protect the country's small and medium-sized businesses against cheap products being offered by PDD Holdings' Temu, communications minister Budi Arie Setiadi told Reuters, even though authorities have not found any transactions yet by its residents on the platform. o ⚓ India Times ☛ Google:_Google_wants_US_judge's_app_store_ruling put_on_hold⠀⇛ Google has asked a California federal judge to pause his sweeping court order requiring it to open up its app store Play to greater competition. o § Trademarks⠀➾ # § Right of Publicity⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ ChatGPT’s_Voice_Mode_Can_Impersonate You_and_Others⠀⇛ When you think of what a voice programmed by artificial intelligence would sound like, you might picture something robotic and stilted, with a staccato cadence incapable of capturing the inflections, speed and emotion required to sound even somewhat human. But this is 2024, and the robots have gotten a serious upgrade. Now they can imitate voices, accents and intonation to an almost creepy degree — for better or worse. o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Piracy_Shield_May_Reduce_Illegal_Sports Streaming,_Traffic_Analysis_Suggests⠀⇛ Italy's Piracy Shield blocking system was launched early 2024 promising to end the flood of pirate IPTV providers saturating the local market. Site- blocking proponents' claims of huge success were met by reports of significant failures. In the absence of any useful, credible data being made available by those behind Piracy Shield, researchers in Italy are trying to answer the big question: Is Piracy Shield effective at reducing access to pirated live sports streams? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2858 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Links 14/10/2024: One Year Since Activision Blizzard Demolition 'Officially' Began and Amazon Corporate Layoffs Accelerate⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 14, 2024 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Banff_Ink_Pots_Pond⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Leftovers o Science o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Proprietary/Artificial_Intelligence_(AI) o Security # Privacy/Surveillance o Defence/Aggression o Environment # Energy/Transportation # Wildlife/Nature o Finance o AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics o Civil_Rights/Policing o Monopolies/Monopsonies # Patents * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Levitating_Magnet_In_A_Spherical_Copper_Cage⠀⇛ Lenz’s Law is one of those physics tricks that look like magic if you don’t understand what’s happening.

One particular test requirement is known as the “load dump” test. [Tim Williams] needed to build a device (first article of three) to apply such test conditions and wanted to do it as an exercise using scrap and spares. Following is a proper demonstration of follow- through from an analytical look at the testing specs to some interesting hand construction. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ France24 ☛ Harris_challenges_Trump_by_issuing_medical report_showing_she_is_in_‘excellent_health’⠀⇛ US Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris on Saturday issued a medical report showing she is in “excellent health” and fit to serve as the country’s leader. The move is seen as a challenge to Donald Trump, whom Harris has accused of lacking transparency for not releasing his own medical records.

In January of this year, the company announced it was laying off 1900 people across its video game teams, including Activision Blizzard, ZeniMax and Xbox, equating to approximately eight percent of its gaming workforce. [...] In May, yet more layoffs were announced at Microsoft, though this time in its Bethesda studios.

[Ed: GAFAM = HUNDREDS of BILLION of dollars in DEBT]⠀⇛ Amazon recently revealed that it would lay off about 14,000 workers, primarily in its corporate division. This choice is a component of a larger restructuring initiative that aims to lower expenses, increase efficiency, and match the company's workforce with its strategic ambitions. To increase the proportion of individual contributors to managers by at least 15% by the end of Q1 2025, Amazon CEO Andy Jassey declared that the company would be removing roughly 14,000 manager jobs. According to a business executive, Jassy's strategy will impact considerably fewer managers than some had anticipated. The Information reported that the layoffs would only affect its corporate staff. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Medevel ☛ Stay_Private_and_Secure_with_Silence,_The Secure_SMS_&_MMS_App_for_Android [Ed: Android itself is not safe though]⠀⇛ Silence is a free, open-source app that provides secure SMS and MMS messaging for Android users.
