The Shanghai lab, meant to help with domestic development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, closed earlier this year, according to people who work in the Zhangjiang AI Island area. The lab was dark and unoccupied during a recent visit by the South China Morning Post, with the logo removed and office equipment cleared out.

The facility, which was launched in May 2019, aimed to support the development of Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in China. However, according to sources working in the Zhangjiang AI Island area, the lab was shut down earlier this year, either in January or February. A recent visit by the South China Morning Post confirmed that the office was dark, unoccupied, and had its logo removed. But they keep saying 'AI' is the future. They used to say "cloud" and Internet of Things (IoT) were the future. What next then?

But Microsoft PR [opaganda] is clogging up news wires. For over a year already they planned to use an anniversary (like the EPO did before turning 50) to shovel up lies and propaganda about the past. It's known as "rewriting history". Those who are rich can afford to do it. Sometimes it's known as revisionism - a one-word term rather than two ("rewriting history"). In my experience, having coded since a young age (probably about 12 or 13), Microsoft has nothing to offer and never had anything to offer. Its mediocre "products" were lots of hype and the company's political operations managed to convince schools to train pupils in "sub par software", as a friend put it. Prior to that I remember my school teaching with some non-Microsoft products. That was in the 80s and early 90s. There was also focus on concepts (floppy disks, LOGO, running DOS commands and so on). Writing about the "50" thing would likely give Microsoft attention it otherwise does not get/deserve. Let's think of that as a point where Microsoft is tail- spinning, much like IBM at 100. It's hard to envision Windows turning things around. Tomorrow statCounter will begin showing new statistics for April so we expect considerable losses for Windows to become more apparent. As an associate of ours put it: "Many, including myself, object to the cult- like nature of the Windows reseller community. Firstly, they are isolated by their own separate technology which interoperates poorly on all levels with other operating systems and application software, and even with different versions of their own products. That is the most immediate, concrete harm. Secondly, they are further isolated from traditional computer science through their own, odd vocabulary and lack of awareness of traditional computer science terminology. There are also strong ethical reasons to eschew the infamous work culture of that whole crowd. That includes the reduced self-determination and independence which their products force onto the market." In the past decade or two people's job prospects improved if they knew "UNIX- like" of GNU/Linux systems. That's what more and more companies used (or looked for). Will we get back to science-based computing rather than cult-like following? █ * Techrights_Headlines_as_Semaphore * Gemini_Links_01/04/2025:_XKCDpunk_and_worldclock.py ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠈⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠋⠉⠉⠙⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢶⣤⡈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⢀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡀⠈⢷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠉⠙⠠⢤⣤⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⠻⠿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣦⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⢀⣴⠀⠀⠀⣾⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡿⠗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣠⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣦⣤⠔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣰⣾⠁⠀⠀⣤⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣧⣀⢀⣠⣾⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⡆⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣦⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠁⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠈⠉⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠈⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⠿⠁⠀⠼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠷⠶⠤⠤⠴⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠾⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠷⠄⠀⠀⠴⠾⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 293 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/04/01/IRC_Proceedings_Monday_March_31_2025.shtml Gemini version at https://techrights.org/n/2025/04/01/IRC_Proceedings_Monday_March_31_2025.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IRC Proceedings: Monday, March 31, 2025⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Backyard⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇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.

(where press freedom is still just a tad better than in China in general) had investigated the matter, took some photographic evidence etc. we saw LLM slop repeating or linking to the same. Microsoft hid something for weeks if not months. Now there are some reputable and/or Western sites saying more: * ⚓ Microsoft_closes_Shanghai_AI_lab,_marking_pullback_in_China⠀⇛ Microsoft has closed its IoT & AI Insider Lab in Shanghai’s Zhangjiang hi-tech zone, marking a significant reduction in the company’s operations in China. The lab, which focused on developing IoT and AI technologies, ceased operations earlier this year, according to local sources. Opened in May 2019, the lab aimed to foster collaboration between Microsoft and Zhangjiang, a key innovation hub in Shanghai’s Pudong district. Over its five years of operation, it supported 258 projects involving nearly 100 companies and trained close to 10,000 professionals, according to official data. If it "trained close to 10,000 professionals," then quite probably it had lots of staff too. It's safe to assume they were laid off, but good luck finding such data from China. From the UK (a few hours ago): * ⚓ Microsoft_Shutters_Shanghai_Lab_In_Latest_China_Pullback⠀⇛ Microsoft has shuttered an Internet of Things (IoT) and AI lab it operated in Shanghai, in the company’s latest move to pull back from its investments in China amidst increasing geopolitical tensions. The IoT & AI Insider Lab, located in the Zhangjiang AI Island in Shanghai’s Zhangjiang high-tech zone, closed earlier this year, according to local media reports citing people who work in the area. The lab, which Microsoft created in May 2019, was intended to boost domestic development of IoT and AI technologies.

And "paste-bin[ned] by another source who wishes to remain anonymous," we got told. "In this post," we've learned, "another member of the OSI complains about the culture among other things." We reproduce it below with a content warning (CW): CW: mental health, open source AI, harassment Mar 31st, 2025 I'm tired, friends. This is a personal, emotional post for me. It is not intended to be scientific or objective. The whole effort to "define open source AI" has been heartbreaking for many of us who care so very deeply about open source. It is not just the lack of transparency, biased narratives, and fallacious arguments that we have seen from the OSI — it's how participants who present differing viewpoints have been treated. I have been called a liar, accused of being an enemy of open source, had my contributions misrepresented and shut down, and had my job not-so-subtly threatened for authentically contributing my expertise — expertise that lies precisely at the intersection of open source and artificial intelligence. I have seen others experience the same. Despite this, I have made genuine efforts to provide opportunities for repair and remediation that were rejected out of hand. This is not the open source community that welcomed me over 20 years ago. Maybe that community doesn't exist anymore in the same form, but we deserve one that treats people with kindness and respect. We all deserve the one that pushes for inclusion and empowerment. The one that opens windows instead of closing doors. This isn't about AI. It may have started with AI, but that's not what is at stake. It's about the very meaning of open source, and the OSI's insistence on undermining it on a technical AND cultural level. I worry about the opportunities that future generations will not have as technology trends closed. I worry about future contributors who will decide to steer clear because of renewed toxicity. I worry about voices silenced, progress reversed, potential lost. Again, this is very personal. I stepped back from actively participating in the official channels for the OSI's process because of how damaging it was to my mental health. The behavior of a handful of individuals in positions of authority left me questioning my place in open source writ large. Worse than that — these abuses of power sent me into a severe PTSD flare-up that put my safety at risk. I love open source. The past year has been personally, professionally, and emotionally devastating. I don't know how to recover from this. Those of you who have been kind to me during all of this, I appreciate you more than I can possibly say. It keeps me here. It tells me that maybe there is still room for me in open source. What's at stake here is more than open source AI, AI, OR open source. People are at stake. #OpenSource #OpenSourceAI #OSI #OSAID #Inclusion #MentalHealth We are just passing on this emotional message. Expect us to cover OSI scandals throughout this month and also next month (we nowadays deal with privacy; see introduction and previous_part). This is far from over. All that the current OSI ever did to me was libel and censor_me. █ * Gemini_Links_01/04/2025:_XKCDpunk_and_worldclock.py * Links_01/04/2025:_Mass_Layoffs_at_Eidos_and_"Microsoft_Pulls_Back_on_Data Centers"_(Demand_Lacking);_"Racist_and_Sexist"_Slop_From_Microsoft ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠉⠑⠒⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠛⠛⠛⠒⠶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣤⣤⣤⣬⣭⣭⣭⣤⣭⣭⣭⣭⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣩⣭⣿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠶⠶⠴⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣶⠤⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠒⠒⠲⠶⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⡿⡿⠛⠋⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠉⠉⠉⠉⢙⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣴⣿⣥⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣦⡄⠀⠀⠀⢲⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⢄⡰⠖⠶⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣤⣤⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⠿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠏⠏⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠈⢳⣦⡀⢀⡴⠋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠻⡿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠓⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣴⣾⣈⡿⢯⡀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡿⠋⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾ ⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⣩⡿⣿⠽⣧⠄⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡾⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣘⣢⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣸⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠈⠚⠓⠁⠒⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 986 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/04/01/Techrights_Headlines_as_Semaphore.shtml Gemini version at https://techrights.org/n/2025/04/01/Techrights_Headlines_as_Semaphore.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Techrights Headlines as Semaphore⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 01, 2025, updated Apr 01, 2025 "If you are hearing this, thank you" 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇semaphore⦈_ Last year on this very day we added a_Morse_edition_of_this_site (announcement on_April_1st), over a month after we had hinted it would come [1, 2] (since winter).

Their Licence to Protect American Microsofters Who Attack Women⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 01, 2025, updated Apr 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Lady_Justice_Silhouette⦈_ For those who have not been keeping abreast, we shall start with a short introduction. Over a year ago a serial defamer and harasser [1, 2], whom I_had_repeatedly accused_of_this_behaviour, decided_to_project_his_own_guilt and eventually filed a lawsuit that went nowhere, adding my wife to it because he refuses to accept what a woman is. After it clearly went nowhere he joined_forces_with another_Microsofter (many professional and social overlaps there) - i.e. Microsoft_money - piling up American_SLAPPs into a British docket using a broke litigation_firm which probably has very few employees left (they_have_financial issues, according to their own reports). Ever since they started sending their threatening letters in February of 2024 I've witnessed veiled ad hominem attacks. They also (still) target my wife with their repeated extortion attempts, relying on various logical fallacies and apparent legal misrepresentation. I've always been exceptionally unimpressed and upset with their very low standards and lack of morality. Later I was told that Brett Wilson LLP was notorious for this (legal professionals told me so). They have a terrible reputation, even in spheres outside media law. Things took a turn for the worse when they started fronting for dangerous men with a history of serious attacks on women. Those men had worked for Microsoft and Microsoft continued to employ them despite this. We'll come back to this point a little later. This week we want to say that we're willing to speak to courts and court staff/ clerks. We speak to professionals, not "professional bullies". Yes, we're obligated to speak to courts in this process, not to speak to aggressors who represent violent aggressors who cause trauma to women. A court cannot compel me to speak to aggressors, whom I never chose to associate with and didn't speak to for about a year (out of choice; "don't feed the trolls," they say). It's just common sense; would you talk to people like these unless you had to? Just because they have some lawyers' logo/letterhead does not make them Gods, they're just rude people with a_licence_that_can_also_be_revoked_if_misused/ abused (it's not a licence to be an "attack dog" but to practice law). Putting it a little more bluntly, I am done communicating with bullies and thugs. First they chose to represent a reprehensible man who strangles women, now they keep attacking and extorting the man who merely defended women from him (as if the man who defends victims is the problem). This is what Microsoft money pays for. Despicable. They are enabling violent narcissists and misogynists for profit, targeting British people on behalf of Americans (different continent, different laws). No person of integrity or morals would attempt to excuse such behaviour. A day ago I sent them this E-mail message, which was a lot more polite than any of theirs: I am staggered that you have sent me a very long E-mail letter on a Thursday morning that three times (sometimes by 9am, sometimes by 10am) demands a response by Monday morning and threatens me if I do not fit in with your demands. You give me a shorter time to reply as a litigant in person than you have taken to send me a letter and you are specialist lawyers. It feels like you are bullying me and trying to take advantage of my response in what you think is a clever way. The Judge has written to us asking us to try and agree a way forward. Can I suggest that we try and agree a way forward? Please do not put words in my mouth about what I agree. I have not agreed anything. I have tried to put into words that the case should be distilled so that I can concentrate on what is relevant. Only 3 hours later they escalated the matter where it likely belongs. I can speak to the Master (Judge) and the clerks, I am under no obligation to speak to horrible people and rude representatives of theirs. I should not be subjected to abuse from a thug who begged and then repeatedly_sent_threats. For the record, this thug's "lawyers" have resorted to rude, condescending, and bullying language, behaviour etc. Even as recently as one day before the court was notified accordingly, as legally required. This is no way to do justice. In his jaw-dropping case, any outsider (like an NGO) can see that this is a man who strangles women and SLAPPs to try to hide what he did. Shouting and table-pounding is the same vulgar behaviour one might expect from a serial strangler of women, who Microsoft happily hired and put in charge of things. This whole thing says a lot about Microsoft too and some told me I should consider filing a lawsuit against Microsoft. Seriously. Several law firms and NGOs can very well see what's happening here. They're not happy about it. It's a_disgrace_to_the_legal_system_and_to_the_legal profession. Such a filing should have been impermissible from the get-go. The UK ought not permit any services of "bullies for hire" (sending threats to people) or "Guns for Hire" as some call them, working from the UK on behalf of Americans to attack Brits who didn't do anything wrong and likely deserve a reward for their work, not SLAPP bullying (this has gone on for 6 months already!). In the case of Brett Wilson LLP, this firm instrumentalising young people out of college (probably with student debt; they have a “rope [of debt] around their neck”) to fight for vicious men against vulnerable young women (their victims) would likely be its downfall. Firms can survive some dumb business decisions, but some are too difficult to recover from. Again we ask, whose terrible idea (or strategy) was this? That not only works as a ruinous force against the national interest and journalism (Americans from Microsoft attacking Brits for reporting facts), it's also a very direct attack on women. This is part of a disturbing pattern. We need to put an end to it all. Everywhere. Today we're reproducing (for backup) a letter sent by taxpolicy.org.uk just over a year ago to illuminate this phenomenon of fronting for really bad people against good people who do a much-needed service for society, typically pro bono at great personal risk (in spite of this risk). See the open (public) letter below. Source: "No,_the_UK’s_worst_libel_lawyers shouldn’t_be_involved_in_libel_law_reform". Dear Nick, I am a solicitor and the founder of Tax Policy Associates, a think tank established to improve tax and legal policy. I am aware of a recent_letter sent to you by the Society of Media Lawyers. criticising the Law Society’s position on SLAPPs. The Society of Media Lawyers say there is “not a significant SLAPP problem in the UK” and are unhappy that the Law Society is taking a stand against SLAPP. They ask to be involved in the implementation of the Economic Crimes Bill, and to have a representative on the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s SLAPP taskforce. The assertion there is not a significant SLAPP problem in the UK is deeply unserious. To take just a few examples from the last few years:  * Schillings acted for Russell Brand, attempting_to_make_the Metro_newspaper_retract a clearly factual report about a “joke” about sexual assault which Brand had made on live television. Asserting defamation with no legal or factual basis is characteristic of a SLAPP. * An unnamed law firm acted for Russell Brand, and sent an aggressive_and_intimidating_email to an alleged victim of Brand’s, which included an entirely inappropriate allegation of blackmail. The making of unevidenced criminal accusations in correspondence is characteristic of SLAPPs. * Archerfield Partners acted for Russell Brand in an_attempt_to prevent_reporting_of_accusations_of_sexual_assault by Szilvia Berki. This included defamation letters to newspapers and ultimately a successful application for an an anti-harassment restraining order. If Ms Berki’s allegations were correct (which now seems at least plausible) then this was an outrageous abuse of the legal system to silence her. * Several unnamed law firms acted for PPE Medpro, Michelle Mone and Douglas Barrowman, and wrote to the Guardian saying that any claim that Mone/Barrowman were linked to PPE Medpro was defamatory. The parties have_subsequently_admitted that Mone/ Barrowman are in fact linked to PPE Medpro. Aggressive correspondence based on an untruth is a key characteristic of a SLAPP.  * TT Law Ltd acted for William Hay in a defamation claim against Nina Cresswell, who had alleged Hay had sexually assaulted her. Mrs Justice Williams found_that_Cresswell’s_allegations_were substantially_true. This is part of a very disturbing trend of perpetrators of sexual assault using SLAPPs to silence their victims.  * An unnamed law firm acting for an individual accused of sexually assaulting Lucy and Verity Nevitt. The law of confidence was used in a successful_attempt_to_prevent_him being_named. This is another very disturbing case. Parliament has expressly not given anonymity to those accused of sexual offences, and to attempt to achieve this through secret threats of litigation is an affront to the rule of law. * An unnamed law firm acted for Wirecard against the FT in a defamation_action following the FT’s reporting that Wirecard was engaged in fraud.  That reporting turned out to be entirely correct. The use of defamation proceedings to silence correct accusations of criminality is characteristic of a SLAPP. * Carter-Ruck acted for Mohamed Amersi in a defamation claim against former MP Charlotte Leslie. Mr_Justice_Nicklin_found for_Leslie, and said he had “real cause for concern” that the litigation had an “impermissible collateral purpose”. That is a textbook definition of a SLAPP. It is relevant to note Carter- Ruck’s_claim that it has not encountered any SLAPP cases  * Discreet Law acted for Yevgeny Prigozhin in a case against journalist Eliot Higgins of investigative website Bellingcat for claiming that Prigozhin ran the mercenary Wagner Group. At the time of Higgins’ report, Prigozhin had been widely reported as running the Wagner Group and had been sanctioned by the US and UK for his role in it. The case was_abandoned after Russia invaded Ukraine, and Prigozhin subsequently_admitted running the Wagner Group. It is hard to imagine a more obvious SLAPP than bringing a defamation action for a claim that was in fact true, and was widely known to be true at the time. * Taylor Wessing acted for Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation Limited against journalist Tom Burgis. Mr Justice Nicklin found that the passages complained about in Burgis’ book were not defamatory, but noted that the very serious other allegations in the book (that ENRCL was a “corporate front” for criminal activities) were_not_the_subject_of_a_defamation_claim. This is a typical SLAPP technique – ignoring the core allegation made and pursuing defamation allegations on an ancillary issue.  * Carter Ruck acted for the President of Malaysia’s PAS Islamic Party, Abdul Hadi Awang, in an extraordinarily far-fetched case against Clare Rewcastle Brown with the apparent aim of preventing her reporting about corruption in Malaysia. The case was eventually withdrawn and a settlement_agreed_in_her_favour.  The far-fetched theory run by Carter Ruck, and the eventual concession, is characteristic of a SLAPP. * An unnamed law firm acted_for_Jeffrey_Donaldson in a defamation claim against OpenDemocracy for their reporting on political donations. The action eventually timed out. Commencing and then eventually withdrawing proceedings is characteristic of a SLAPP. * An unnamed law firm acted for Javanshir Feyziyev against Paul Radu, a Romanian reporter for the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project in relation to allegations of involvement in the Azerbaijani Laundromat. The case was settled in_the_reporter’s_favour shortly before the court date. The decision to bring a claim against an individual journalist rather than the news organisation who published the accusations is characteristic of a SLAPP. * Taylor Wessing acted for Al Wazzan, an investment advisor currently on bail in Kuwait for his role in the 1MDB scandal. Taylor Wessing attempted_to_prevent_Clare_Rewcastle_Brown from even mentioning that Al Wazzan was on bail. Taylor Wessing abused_the_law_of_confidence in an attempt to keep their correspondence from being published.  And from my personal experience: * ACK Media Law wrote_to_me alleging defamation after I “retweeted” a newspaper article claiming Nadhim Zahawi was under investigation by HMRC. The firm said Nadhim Zahawi was unaware he was being investigated by HMRC. Zahawi had indeed been under investigation, and at that point was in the process of settling the matter. The Prime Minister’s ethics adviser concluded that Zahawi should have understood he was under investigation. Threatening defamation against a member of the public “retweeting” a news article, and not against the newspaper that published the article is characteristic of a SLAPP. Alleging defamation where an accusation is in substance true is characteristic of a SLAPP. * Osborne Clarke acted for Nadhim Zahawi, and accused_me_of defamation for allegations about Zahawi’s tax position which turned out to be correct. In the course of correspondence, Osborne Clarke stated repeatedly that Zahawi’s taxes were fully declared and paid, a statement that was false, and that Zahawi must have known was false. Osborne Clarke abused the law of privilege and confidence in an attempt to keep their correspondence from being published. Pursuing a defamation claim where the underlying accusation is true; attempting to keep the claim secret; and making false statements in correspondence – all features of a SLAPP.  * Brett Wilson LLP acting for a tax avoidance boutique called Property118, accused_me_of_defamation for stating opinions on tax law which are shared by the majority of the profession. A libel action on that basis never had any prospect of success, and the Brett Wilson letter was therefore a SLAPP. Brett Wilson abused the law of copyright and confidence in an attempt to keep their correspondence from being published. Another characteristic of a SLAPP. All of this presents a disturbing pattern of law firms acting for clients who are using defamation law to  inappropriately stifle free discussion and, in many cases, to prevent publication of allegations that are in substance correct. In a number of these cases the lawyers had good reason to know or suspect that the allegations were correct. And these are likely just a small minority of cases: the intention behind most SLAPPs is that they never become public. The stifling of debate by lawyers, through the use of abuse of pseudo-legal arguments and the making of false factual claims, represents a threat to free expression and (in my view) to the rule of law.  I would therefore urge you to continue your current approach to SLAPP, which I am confident has the support of the vast majority of the profession, as well as the general public. A final point: many of these examples involve members_of_the_Society of_Media_Lawyers. To say they have a conflict of interest would be a considerable understatement. It would therefore, in my view, be highly inappropriate for the Society of Media Lawyers to involved in the implementation of the Economic Crimes Bill, or to be appointed to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s SLAPP taskforce. I would urge you to reject this request. It's pretty much the same in the case of patent law, which we've long covered here. The lawsuits' profiteers are also the lobbyists and the system is controlled by them, both directly and by proxy, not just by taking input from them. There is moreover a "revolving doors" element here; sometimes they go back and forth from policy-making and the private (for-profit) litigation sector. █

haven't seen this film, so this is all based on how the animation looks. Specifically, how a sheep in the Minecraft game is some blocks with flat textures, and how a sheep in the Minecraft movie has thousands of individually rendered hair follicles each with their own inertia and shading. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ unciv⠀⇛ I was dicking around on my Pinephone and decided to go into the Games part of the software center. Never mind that I would only use the GUI software installer in mobile, but I was just curious as to what they had, trying to make my phone more viable. I scrolled through the options, none of them super appealing. Then I saw something called Unciv. What? Well, it's a Civ-like game according to the description, so I might as well check it out. It can't be that bad. # ⚓ 🎮_klonoa_door_to_phantomile_-_ps1_(8/10):_apr_01,_2025⠀⇛ i've first known about klonoa like 2 years or so when their remasters were announced for the switch :0 i was very fascinated about the protagonist design and thought they were very cute!! since then, i've been meaning to play it... i WANTED to pirate it (i am broke) but never really got around to it. blehhhhhh... thankfully my anbernic handheld had the game on it, so!! i remembered to actually play it!! :D i actually went in blind, so i had no clue what i was in for. figured it was one of those simple cute bouncy platformers, expecting something like kirby maybeee? in a way, it kind if is aligned with that sort of vibe? for a ps1 game, the controls are pretty simple. you have your movement buttons, of course. then you only either jump/float or shoot (involves shooting "air bullets" to infkate enemies into.. balloons..) the story line is also a simple "hey this guy wants to plunge the world into darkness, go stop him pretty please?" but i find that it works. it tries to be unique and spins it into their own at the end - and while simple, i find that it's still enjoyable. # ⚓ stuff_i'd_like_to_do_on_the_anbernic⠀⇛ * more ps1 games!! i wanna play parasite eve and the classics like resident evil and silent hill - can you believe i've never played these before??

They claim to have about a thousand camellia variants and about six hundred magnolia variants. As we’ve been to the camellia park yesterday, we focused on the magnolia in bloom. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Observations_on_Paper_Birch⠀⇛ Paper Birch bark is an assortment of colors that is a gradual blend from white to reddish-brown. The white bark is a milk-white. From what I can tell, all the old, loose bark, i.e., bark that hasn't been pealed away by some creature, but that has pealed off naturally, is white. The next color in the gradient is white with a hint of yellow, which seems similar to floral white or antique white on ColorHexa [https://www.colorhexa.com/color-names]. Next is orange, maybe Burnt Orange. Then a reddish- brown or Burgundy. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Analog:_Integrator,_Capacitor_Accuracy⠀⇛ I added an additional integrator, bring the computer up to four integrators. I did some measurements of my feedback capacitors. I use two 500 nF capacitors in parallel, for each integrator, the target being 1uF. My measurements (averaging three readings each) showed some capacitors as high as 545 nF, and some as low as 497 nF. Some pairs were, added together, totally as high as 1047 nF whereas some were as low as 1030 nF. In the end, what I did was mix and match the capacitors so that the high capacitors were paired with low capacitors. In the end, I was seeing an average of around 1010 nF per pair, with a deviation of not more than 1.3% from the average. I think this is good enough. It is important to remember that our feedback capacitors don't necessarily need to be very close to any arbitrary target, so long as they are all close to each other. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Goodbye_Offpunk,_Welcome_XKCDpunk!⠀⇛ For the last three years, I’ve been working on Offpunk, a command-line gemini and web browser. While my initial goal was to browse the Geminisphere offline, the mission has slowly morphed into cleaning and unenshitiffying the modern web, offering users a minimalistic way of browsing any website with interesting content. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ worldclock.py:_A_low-effort_(but_hopefully_useful) OFFLFIRSOCH_contribution⠀⇛ I am once again sharing a simple Python script (using only modules in Python’s standard library) for the OFFLine-FIRst SOftware CHallenge. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Due to unforeseen findings in the building's structure, the complex project is expected to be completed half a year later than planned, i.e. by the beginning of 2028, Latvian Radio reports. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ New_'Half-Ice,_Half-Fire'_Phase_of_Matter Found_Lurking_in_a_Magnet⠀⇛ Sneaky. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Protein_That_Calms_Waking_Hair_Follicles Could_Lead_to_Alopecia_Treatment⠀⇛ Shhhh ... everything is ok. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Wild_New_Study_Suggests_Buttholes_Once_Had a_Very_Different_Purpose⠀⇛ It's a thankless job. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Einstein_Didn't_Think_This_Stunning_Picture Was_Possible._We're_Glad_He_Was_Wrong.⠀⇛ A lens into the past. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Huge_56-Mile_Particle_Smasher_Is_Possible, Says_CERN_Report⠀⇛ The great pyramids of physics. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Holes_in_Desert_Rocks_May_Have_Been_Left_by Microbe_Unlike_Any_Known⠀⇛ Where are they now? # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Rock_Used_as_a_Doorstop_For_Decades_Found to_Be_Worth_Over_$1_Million⠀⇛ Jewel thieves walked right past it. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ NASA's_Unexpected_Discovery_of_The_Largest Organics_on_Mars_Explained⠀⇛ A significant finding in the search for past life. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ NASA_Astronauts_Speak_for_First_Time_After 9-Month_Stay_in_Space_at_ISS⠀⇛ Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore spoke in their first news conference since returning to Earth two weeks ago from an unexpectedly long I.S.S. stay that lasted more than nine months. # ⚓ Stanford University ☛ The_intimate_Dutch_portrait_that poses_galactic_questions⠀⇛ Olivier van Deuren’s painting of a young astronomer blends science, mysticism and ambitions of celestial proportions, Jin writes. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Ted Unangst ☛ dated_carbon⠀⇛ I have a Pixelbook which Surveillance Giant Google says I need to stop using, but they’re not the boss of me, and in the process of reflashing it (long story), I needed to get out my trusty USB stick writer, a Zenbook UX305. Well, formerly trusty. After closing the lid, I noticed a small gap in the front. The laptop’s midsection has developed a serious case of the swoles. Okay, let’s get a 3rd gen Carbon X1 Thinkpad from the laptop shelf. Immediate USB needs met, I decided to keep using it for a while. For a ten year old laptop, it holds up pretty well. Provides some perspective on where and how things have progressed, and not. Thinking back, I can remember how excited I was to get the X1. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Software_Hacks_Unlock_Cheap_Spectrometer⠀⇛ A spectrometer is one of those tools that many of us would love to have, but just can’t justify the price of. Sure there are some DIY options out there, but few of them have the convenience or capability of what’s on the commercial market. [Chris] from Zoid Technology recently found a portable spectrometer complete with Android application for just $150 USD on AliExpress which looked very promising…at least at first. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Levitating_Lego_Generator_Runs_On_Air⠀⇛ [Jamie] decided to build a generator, and Lego is his medium of choice.

There are more White European archetypes than persons of color. Most card interpretations are disgustingly positive. But is that just my impression or there's structural problem with Tarot? In this post, I'm applying (extremely simple) NLP (Natural Language Processing) methods to learn the sexist and racist secrets of Tarot o ⚓ Adam Fortuna ☛ Multiple_Persona_Disorder⠀⇛ In the product world, we often try to reduce users down to a single persona – a representation of this users motivations.

Over the past couple of months, most of my favorite bloggers have written less. I’ve seen individuals who are practically walking away from the [Internet], as much as they can, within reason. I think if I had to sum up what I know I’m feeling, and I think a lot of others are in one word: exhaustion. # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ UK_government_cuts_funds_for_actually-working anti-cancer_AI⠀⇛ So let’s point the AI at cancer. Radiotherapy treats cancer by zapping the tumour with radiation beams. In contouring, you use CT scans to work out where to point the beam. Auto-contouring uses a machine learning system to make the draft plan. The AI isn’t perfect, but it’s good enough to help a radiotherapist who knows what they’re doing. This is the sort of AI we want. # ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ Most_parents_of_11_to_16-year-olds_say child_has_[Internet]_in_bedroom_–_survey⠀⇛ Three quarters of the parents questioned said they are concerned about what their children are seeing, hearing or doing online, and 87% said they are not confident they know what content they are viewing.

The new design drops the traditional blue color, frowning face, and QR code in favor of a simplified screen that looks a lot more like the black screen you see when Windows is performing an update. It’s not immediately clear if this new BSOD will remain as a black screen once Microsoft ships the final version of this update. # ⚓ Microsoft_Pulls_Back_on_Data_Centers,_Raising_Market Concerns⠀⇛ Microsoft has stirred speculation once again by scrapping several planned data center projects across the United States and Europe. According to analysts at TD Cowen, as reported by Bloomberg, the abandoned facilities would have provided around 2 Gigawatts (GW) of capacity—significant when compared to a typical large data center, which operates between 20 to 100 Megawatts (MW), according to Dgtl Infra. This move follows a similar decision just a month earlier when Microsoft canceled U.S. data center leases amounting to roughly 200 MW. TD Cowen analysts suggested that these project cancellations indicate an oversupply of data centers compared to Microsoft’s projected demand. # ⚓ WCCF Tech ☛ Eidos_Montréal_Lays_Off_75_Employees_as_Work_on ‘Mandate’_(Fable?)_Ends⠀⇛ Besides the unfortunate (albeit sadly common in the industry lately) fact that people are losing their jobs, the message's wording is definitely interesting. Eidos Montréal singled out the end of a specific work commission as the cause of the layoffs, and the mind cannot but go to the announcement that the developer had been helping out Playground Games with the Fable reboot. While the game was delayed to 2026 earlier this year, it was originally supposed to launch in 2025. It's possible and even likely that Fable is now content complete and Playground Games simply does not need any further help from the Canadian studio as it approaches the polishing phase. # ⚓ Neowin ☛ Deus_Ex_and_Guardians_of_the_Galaxy_studio_Eidos Montreal_hit_by_layoffs⠀⇛ Another AAA game development studio has been hit by layoffs. Canadian studio Eidos Montreal has announced that up to 75 roles have been affected by its latest wave of staff cuts. "Today, we informed our studio staff that we are going to let go up to 75 valuable members, as one of our mandates is coming to an end," said the company in a social media post. "It is not a reflection of their dedication or skills, but unfortunately, we don’t have the capacity to entirely reallocate them to our other ongoing projects and services." # ⚓ EuroGamer ☛ Embracer_Group's_Eidos-Montréal_studio_confirms more_layoffs,_this_time_affecting_"up_to_75"_people⠀⇛ Eidos-Montréal, the Embracer-owned studio currently providing support on Microsoft's Fable reboot, is laying off "up to" 75 members of staff, saying it doesn't "have the capacity to entirely reallocate them to our other ongoing projects and services." News of the layoffs - which follows 97 job cuts at Eidos-Montréal last year - was confirmed in a statement shared on social media. "Today, we informed our studio staff that we are going to let go up to 75 valuable members," the studio wrote, "as one of our mandates is coming to an end. It is not a reflection of their dedication or skills, but unfortunately, we don't have the capacity to entirely reallocate them to our other ongoing projects and services. "These very talented, highly experienced experts are going to enter the employment market," the statement continued, "and we are working to support them through this transition. Eidos-Montréal stays committed to deliver its other projects currently in development." # § Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Baldur Bjarnason ☛ Feedback_loops,_'AI',_learning, and_management⠀⇛ Learning and management share a specific kind of feedback loop and with these videos where I’ve been getting into a new practice and figuring things out, those feedback loops have become a little bit more noticeable. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ AI's_"Biggest_Test"_Is_Turning_Into_a Catastrophe_as_CoreWeave_Flounders⠀⇛ Now it's facing its toughest challenge yet in the form of CoreWeave, the AI processing company that went public on the stock market this week and the first all-AI startup to do so. It was said to be a major test for the industry — and so far it's failing, miserably. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ OpenAI's_Sora_Has_a_Small_Problem_With Being_Hugely_Racist_and_Sexist⠀⇛ In an investigation of one such model, OpenAI's Sora, Wired found that the AI tool frequently perpetuated racist, sexist, and ableist stereotypes, and at times flat-out ignored instructions to depict certain groups. Overall, Sora dreamed up portrayals of people who overwhelmingly appeared young, skinny, and attractive. Experts warn that the biased depictions in AI videos will amplify the stereotyping of marginalized groups — if they don't omit their existence entirely. # ⚓ Wired ☛ OpenAI’s_Sora_Is_Plagued_by_Sexist,_Racist, and_Ableist_Biases⠀⇛ Bias has plagued generative AI systems since the release of the first text generators, followed by image generators. The issue largely stems from how these systems work, slurping up large amounts of training data—much of which can reflect existing social biases—and seeking patterns within it. Other choices made by developers, during the content moderation process for example, can ingrain these further. Research on image generators has found that these systems don’t just reflect human biases but amplify them. To better understand how Sora reinforces stereotypes, WIRED reporters generated and analyzed 250 videos related to people, relationships, and job titles. The issues we identified are unlikely to be limited just to one AI model. Past investigations into generative AI images have demonstrated similar biases across most tools. In the past, OpenAI has introduced new techniques to its AI image tool to produce more diverse results. # ⚓ [Repeat] The Cyber Show ☛ Creepy_is_the_new_cool⠀⇛ I think it will take decades to sort out the societal mess we've allowed BigTech to wreak on human affairs. But at least we can now see it. You don't have to be "cool". Sometimes creepy is just creepy and self-evidently wrong. There is nothing cool about failing to call it out. You are not alone thinking that. So say it, clearly and loudly. Make a scene. Rock that boat. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Pluralistic:_Private-sector_Trumpism⠀⇛ Trump is the realization of decades of warning about ubiquitous private and public surveillance – that someday, all of this surveillance would be turned to the systematic dismantling of human rights and punishing of dissent. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Privacy_died_last_century,_the_only way_to_go_is_off-grid⠀⇛ Mind you, this is the same government that decided to sic the Department [sic] of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on all government agencies in search of fraud without a single forensic accountant to its name. Instead, these Musk groupies seek to copy sensitive data from the Social Security Administration (SSA) and pretty much all other government departments. How will our private data be protected? We don't know. Privacy is not a priority for the current American administration. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ US_TikTok_ban:_How_it_became_the world’s_most_controversial_app⠀⇛ TikTok has already disappeared from Apple and Google app stores ahead of the law taking effect on Saturday, which requires ByteDance to sell the video-sharing app to a US owner due to national security concerns. President Donald Trump gave TikTok a 75-day reprieve from the ban after he took office in January, however ByteDance is yet to secure a buyer. # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russia_will_exploit_Ukraine_ceasefire_to threaten_Baltics,_defense_ministers_warn⠀⇛ o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ The_Signal_Chat_Leak_and_the_NSA_- Schneier_on_Security⠀⇛ The truth, however, is much more interesting. If Signal has vulnerabilities, then China, Russia, and other US adversaries suddenly have a new incentive to discover them. At the same time, the NSA urgently needs to find and fix any vulnerabilities quickly as it can—and similarly, ensure that commercial smartphones are free of backdoors—access points that allow people other than a smartphone’s user to bypass the usual security authentication methods to access the device’s contents. That is essential for anyone who wants to keep their communications private, which should be all of us. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ The Revelator ☛ The_Psychological_Effects_of_Climate Change:_The_Scientific_Explanations_—_and_Solutions_That_Can Empower_Your_Mind⠀⇛ # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Raspberry_Pi's_prestigious_Green Economy_Mark_for_sustainable_practices⠀⇛ We’re proud that Raspberry Pi has been awarded the London Stock Exchange’s Green Economy Mark — an accolade recognising companies and funds listed on the exchange that generate at least 50% of their revenue from products and services that have a positive environmental impact. # ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ Police_confiscate_child’s_kite after_collision_with_United_Airlines_plane_as_it_lands at_Washington_DC_airport⠀⇛ Federal regulations prohibit kite-flying near an airport. # ⚓ NBC ☛ Kite_confiscated_after_apparently_hitting United_plane_in_Washington_area⠀⇛ “Customers deplaned normally,” it said, “and upon inspection there was no damage to the aircraft.” o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ Trump’s_Trade_War_Pushes_Canadian_Tech_Workers_to Rethink_Silicon_Valley⠀⇛ Among Canadians in Silicon Valley, the rift between the two nations is sparking a new kind of national pride, as well as a lot of uncertainty. For now, at least, Trump’s tariffs on Canada don’t extend to software, so the flow of digital goods and services between the two countries remains mostly uninterrupted. But the chaos has prompted some prominent founders and investors to urge young Canadians to build companies at home and strengthen the local tech ecosystem, while Canadian tech companies with large operations in the US are wondering if they need to change strategies, or even headquarters. # ⚓ Marcy Wheeler ☛ Techbro_Theories_Of_Everything⠀⇛ The Trump mob has a bunch of crackpot theories. One of these, beloved of techbros with Ketamine- plasticized brains, comes from Guillaume Verdon, a 32 year physicist.

Speaking at the event, CHP leader Ozgur Ozel said millions of Turks were seeking Imamoglu's release and an early presidential election. He called the charges against the mayor baseless and politically motivated. # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ Yale_professor_who_studies_fascism fleeing_US_to_work_in_Canada⠀⇛ Stanley said he wasn’t concerned about his ability to continue his scholarship at Yale, but the broader climate against universities played a role. He praised other faculty at Yale for standing up against the attacks on their profession and said he wished he could stay and fight with them. “But how could you speak out loudly if you’re not an American citizen?” he questioned. “And if you can’t speak out loudly if you’re not an American citizen, when will they come for the American citizens? It’s inevitable.” o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ Turkey_Arrests_Swedish Journalist_Over_Alleged_Terrorist_Connections_to_a_Pro- Kurdish_Group⠀⇛ It added that Medin also facilitated communication between the PKK and the press. Over a dozen journalists have been detained in Turkey this past week as part of a crackdown on media workers covering Turkey’s largest protests in more than a decade. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ The Dissenter ☛ Dissenter_Weekly_For_March_31⠀⇛ # ⚓ Papers Please ☛ Senators_propose_to_abolish_the_TSA⠀⇛ [Excerpt from the Abolish TSA Act of 2025]Late last week Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) announced that they are introducing the Abolish TSA Act in Congress. If enacted, the Abolish TSA Act would abolish the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), in its entirely. Within three years of enactment of this bill, responsibility for securing airline flights, and for the cost of doing so, would be returned to the airlines and whatever private contractors they might hire. Responsibility for oversight over aviation security would be returned to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), as was the case before the creation of the TSA in 2002. It should go without saying that if the new Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is targeting wasteful programs and agencies, the TSA and its security theater should be near the top of the list. DOGE doesn’t have the authority to abolish the TSA, but Congress does. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Advocates_Demand_End_to_Abuse-Ridden_NYPD Unit_Adams_Favored⠀⇛ Lawmakers and advocates have slammed New York City Mayor Eric Adams and called for changes in the wake of ProPublica’s investigation into a secretive, problematic police unit led by allies of the mayor. ProPublica found that the mayor championed the New York City Police Department’s Community Response Team despite a pattern of aggressive and often abusive policing flagged by department officials. An officer in the unit killed a motorcyclist after swerving his police car into him. A team commander punched and kicked a driver in the head. And another commander shoved a man into a car window after the man complained about being stopped for no apparent reason. # ⚓ Westenberg ☛ I'm_Tired_of_Pretending_Tech_is_Making_the World_Better⠀⇛ I sat down at a cafe a few days ago, hungry and ready to order. But there were no menus at the tables - just a QR code on a hockey puck. My phone struggled to load the site to order a single cold brew, pop-ups to install the custom App kept obscuring the options, and I had to register with my phone number, email address, and first and last name to buy a $5 cup of coffee. By the time I placed my order - paying a 1% fee to the app makers in the process - I would have happily paid double for the experience of simply flipping through a menu and talking to another human being. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ RIPE ☛ Emile_Aben:_How_the_Internet_Routed_Around_Damage_in the_Baltic_Sea⠀⇛ When two Internet cables in the Baltic Sea were reported as broken last November, we turned to RIPE Atlas to examine the damage.

But under US law, trademark regulations are primarily designed to protect consumers rather than companies, says Josh Gerben, founder of Gerben IP, a law firm focused exclusively on trademarks. “The goal is to not have confusion as to who is behind a product or service,” he says. o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Page-view_targets_and_clickbait_discussed at_editors'_conference⠀⇛ “The idea that copyright law in the UK is unclear – it’s not. Scraping for commercial purposes without a licence is unlawful. The law’s not being enforced. The Government’s got itself into a big mess and we’re facing a critical few weeks now,” he said referring to the wait for the Government’s response to its recent public consultation about a proposed system which would allow AI platforms to use content unless the creator opts out, something opposed by many publishers and other creative industries. # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ BBC_to_'open_up_conversation'_with_AI providers_in_2025⠀⇛ Unlike other leading UK-based newsbrands like News UK’s The Times and The Sun, the Financial Times, The Guardian and Future, the BBC has not signed licensing or tech partnerships with any AI companies to date. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Movie_studios_are_being_financially_rewarded for_AI_slop_on_YouTube⠀⇛ Some Hollywood studios are reportedly earning money from fake AI-generated movie trailers on YouTube, against the wishes of the union representing actors. According to a report from Deadline, Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount, and Sony Pictures redirected ad revenue to themselves instead of enforcing copyright protections and shutting down the popular Screen Culture and KH Studio trailer accounts. In response, the SAG-AFTRA union has criticized the studios for profiting off videos that use AI to exploit their members’ likenesses without permission. # ⚓ Society for Scholarly Publishing ☛ Are_We_Fumbling_in_the Dark_or_Laying_a_Strong_Foundation_for_AI_Education?_-_The Scholarly_Kitchen⠀⇛ Also, when it comes to publishers and journals, are they only responsible for integrating AI seamlessly into their workflows? Or are they also responsible for educating authors to use AI responsibly? And if yes, then what are the steps they can take to ensure this? Would creating guides, organizing trainings be enough?
