Many client billable practitioners are impacted. As usual, many back office free riders are protected. There was NO advance consultation with Industry, Practice and account leaders, or even first line managers. A frenzied scramble is underway by the client Partners as they attempt to reverse decisions, shore up team morale and figure out how best to apologise to clients for outcomes that won’t be achieved. 15 months ago an external hire country managing partner was brought in to “turn around the business” but the death spiral only accelerates. It looks like IBM Consulting in general is_being_cut. IBM loses many government contracts these days. There's meanwhile a pile of more than half_a_dozen_reports (article updated) about Microsoft mass layoffs next month ("about three weeks away"). █ * Malware_in_Proprietary_Software_-_Latest_Additions

Publish Propaganda and Then LLM Slop Sites (Slopfarms) Repeat the Propaganda, Using Microsoft LLMs⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 10, 2025, updated Apr 10, 2025 Later today we'll publish a long_and_detailed article about the Microsoft- controlled [1, 2] Linux_Foundation. In the meantime consider the latest LLM slop: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linux_Kernel:_Rust_Integration_Offers_Security_and Resilience_Challenges⦈_ Slopfarms like these no longer know what a real article is: (two latest articles combined) 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Let's_examine_the_promise_of_Rust_integration_in_Linux, potential_integration_challenges,_and_Linux_kernel_developers'_perspectives_on Rust_integration_in_the_Linux_kernel.⦈_ Follow the money, follow who 'bought' the training set, and consider who owns, controls (censors/manipulates) and then uses the LLMs. The only other fake 'article' from the same day is also "Linux" (with "security" thrown in for SEO purposes, i.e. spam): 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linux_6.15:_MSEAL_Memory_Protection_Enhancements_for_System Security⦈_ Pure junk: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Especially_beneficial_for_x86-64_and_arm64_architectures, MSEAL_is_set_to_transform_how_admins_approach_memory_protection_in_their environments._Let’s_dive_into_the_practical_applications_and_benefits_this_new feature_brings_to_the_Linux_security_community.⦈_ People who use the Web need a good list of slopfarms (to be avoided). Mozilla, instead of helping Firefox users detect/block slopfarms, is 'helping' users by feeding them more slop. Shame on Mozilla. Useless company whose executives come from social control media companies. Later people wonder why Mozilla wants surveillance? Anyway, it seems evident that a lot of the pro-Rust noise comes from Microsofters and GAFAM. Authors who write in favour of Rust publish in sites sponsored by Microsoft, just like "social" sites (e.g. Reddit) which censor Rust critics/sceptics. On top of that, Microsoft security blunders are belittled or misframed as "computer problems", whereas many slopfarms keep talking about "Linux backdoor" (that does not exist; it distracts from the_real issue, a Trump back door in every Windows machine in the world). █ * Once_You_Slop_You_Can't_Stop_and_If_You're_a_Serial_Slopper_Nobody_Will

and the slop? 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Browser_Market_Share_Brazil⦈_ In quite a few countries, even very large countries, Mozilla Firefox is already negligible (in terms of its userbase) and being ignored by site operators. Enter Brazil. In spite of its good_adoption_of_GNU/Linux (typically comes with Firefox preloaded) at_the_end_of_last_year_Chrome_was_measured_at_85%_there and Firefox is measured at only 1% - less than half what Opera has. Mozilla's rapid demise is due to self-inflicted_wounds (examples_from_this week). It hired executives and board members from Facebook and Microsoft. That's why it looks so bad. █ * Links_10/04/2025:_Hardware,_Politics,_and_Internet * Pressing_Against_SLAPPs_(From_Americans_Who_Strangle_Women_While Microsoft_Pays_Their_Salaries)_is_a_High_Priority_for_Us ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠙⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⠶⠶⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣠⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢀⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠟⠻⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⡿⣿⡛⠛⠏⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣯⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡿⠛⠛⠛⠛⣻⣯⠙⠋⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠠⠤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠻⡟⠙⠋⣍⣍⣹⣥⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠈⠈⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⠀⠈⢳⣶⣆⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⡿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⡟⠀⠀⠘⢻⣿⣿⠻⣿⠿⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⡹⣿⡏⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣷⢿⢠⡞⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣝⣷⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⠀⢻⡇⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⠇⡽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠍⠁⠀⣧⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⡀⡠⠀⠒⢈⣁⣠⡔⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⣍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠋⠈⠈⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠓⠒⠀⠒⠶⠆⣀⣀⣀⠀⠈⠁⠐⠂⠤⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣨⣴⣶⣿⣿⣾⡉⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡸⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠐⠠⠄⡀⠀ ⣿⣿⠛⠻⣿⣿⡟⠠⠿⠹⠽⠿⠿⠽⠭⠯⠿⠿⢿⣹⠿⠿⠿⠿⢁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠜⠉⠁⢀⠀⡀⠀⠈⠩⢁⣒⡢⢄⠀⣄⡀⢀⡀⠚⠍⢆⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⣀⡉ ⣿⣿⣦⣽⣿⡿⢧⣤⣯⠷⡢⠶⠶⠟⣵⢶⢶⡿⠀⠀⠐⠻⠭⠍⠒⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⢴⠈⣁⡀⠀⢰⡌⠱⢉⣀⣳⡲⠶⠎⠿⠷⠻⠿⠗⠿⠂⠀⠿⠻⠽⠙⠻⠻⠶⢾⠿⢙⣆⢷⣶⢶⡷⢶⣾⢆⣀⣈⠙⠻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣯⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣿⣽⣯⣿⣷⣶⣿⣽⣾⣾⣮⣧⣮⡯⣴⣴⣾⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣽⣾⣷⣾⣿⣵⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣵ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 717 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/04/10/Once_You_Slop_You_Can_t_Stop_and_If_You_re_a_Serial_Slopper_Nob.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/04/10/Once_You_Slop_You_Can_t_Stop_and_If_You_re_a_Serial_Slopper_Nob.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Once You Slop You Can't Stop and If You're a Serial Slopper Nobody Will Believe You Really Wrote an Article (Even If You Did)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 10, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Colourful_Rosella_near_Apollo_Bay,_Australia⦈_ It's a_lot like, "if you're a serial liar people won't believe you even when you say some truth" (or "once a cheater, always a cheater") Earlier this year we saw a "near_miss"_by_Jack_M._Germain (LinuxInsider). He decided to experiment with LLM slop and image slop; he has not done that since. Phew! It didn't become another_unixmen.com. There are many ridiculous articles by LLM slop about why LLM slop is OK or why LLM slop is reliable or LLM slop if a revolution or the future or arms race etc. In that sense, LLM is like a self-replicating virus that markets itself to shoehorn its lethal spread. People aren't easily fooled by this. Not for long anyway. They develop a sense of "smell" for slop and sites that become slopfarms get ignored if not delisted. They cannot eternally hide what they've become. As Ryan_said_yesterday_in_IRC: "I have gotten so enraged by the amount of LLM crap that there's only a few sites I even pay attention to anymore." When you read about sites replacing writers with "AI" it just means to say they died. Earlier this week the UK Press Gazette, which had boosted LLM slop [1, 2, 3], spoke of lawsuits_over_slop. To be clear, this publisher's writers still seem to be doing real work. They're not part of the problem , but the publisher fails to understand the problem. No_site_that_becomes_a_slopfarm_will_survive. None. In fact, sites not valued by their own maintainer will go offline much sooner.

In a sense, we might even gain "free publicity" from all this, not_that_it_would_be_unprecedented. There_is_plenty_of_potential_here_for_future_journalism_regarding_SLAPPs and many facets to be explored, including the regulation of the litigation industry. Yes, industry. 2_years_ago_we_looked_at_the_pension_industry_and_made_many_calls. It's not over yet. A colleague filed a case against Sirius_Open_Source and it's still ongoing. With "Action Fraud UK" we reported (multiple victims at Sirius) obvious fraud, confirmed by the large pension firm, but without examining the evidence "Action Fraud UK" just said it would not deal with it. Upon escalation to the MP, a respected politician/authority which in turn contacted them, they simple totally ignored her. We'll_see_if_SRA_is_the_same. We hope not. They must maintain standards, otherwise suspicion will grow that there is regulatory capture.

While there are understood to have been over 70 cases into SLAPPs opened by the regulator, progress to investigate complaints has been slow, with only two cases thus far known to have been referred to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT). Many targets of SLAPPs, the Coalition have spoken to, have raised concerns regarding the time taken by the regulator when investigating their cases, with a number reluctant to update their cases due to these delays and the lack of necessary communication or updates. * Mozilla_Firefox_Already_Down_to_1%_in_Brazil * Once_You_Slop_You_Can't_Stop_and_If_You're_a_Serial_Slopper_Nobody_Will

Personal/Opinions o Politics_and_World_Events o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ it's_snowing⠀⇛ Snow on April 9 isn't unusual at this latitude, but I am tired of snow. I'm ready for spring. My parents would be out there tilling the garden to drive the snow into the soil, on the theory that doing so incorporates additional nitrogen into said soil. I've opted for a no-till approach wherever possible, so I'm going to let whatever nitrogen is in the snow get there the old-fashioned way: by melting. (I am reasonably confident in my crop rotation methods anyway.) It's also testing season, so my day job was much slower than usual. I spent a chunk of it revamping my "professional" website. I'm not thrilled to be doing it, but it needs to be done, especially if the economy is about to go sideways. Though I suppose if it goes sideways far enough, money will cease to be relevant and my life will depend on my gardening and/or sharpshooting skills. Maybe I'll be glad my parents spent so much time dragging me into the woods after various plants. # ⚓ LQ’s_account_of_the_end⠀⇛ # ⚓ What_If_Gordon_Banks_Had_Played?⠀⇛ As mentioned a few days ago, I am converting the alternative history "What If Gordon Banks Had Played?" to Gemini text. The original story was posted online in about 26 parts, two decades ago, and is now hard to find. I have converted the first six or so parts to Gemini format, and will release the rest in coming days and weeks. # ⚓ Creativity_and_Agitation⠀⇛ Yesterday on Bluesky, one of my mutuals wrote that it wasn't until the term was over and they had a bit of uninterrupted time to themselves that they found they wanted to write again. The stress of everything else going on around them kept them from wanting to write, they said, and they needed both the time and space to start to find themselves again. Four months into 2025 and I'm finding I work something like the opposite. I've always written in snatches - a phrase or a line will come to me, I'll jot it down on my phone, and try to write something more with it later. But I'm also finding that every other part of what I do creatively has gone into overdrive this year. I organize my poems in my git repo by year, and find that for an average year, I wrote 40-50. I'm already at 28, and I feel like there's a quality there that's been lacking the last couple years. The sort of thing that separates "complete, but meh" from "complete, and something". Not that I have any expectation of them really turning into something - I've been circulating a manuscript for years, and sometimes it gets "this is close, keep sending it elsewhere", sometimes it gets a bloodless form rejection. I tinker with it. I feel like it's strong. It picks up another rejection. o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ What_I’ve_Come_to_Appreciate_About_Life_in_the_USA⠀⇛ (A personal reflection on the everyday comforts and public resources in the U.S. that make life unexpectedly fulfilling.) I arrived in the United States in 2018 to pursue a postdoctoral research fellowship at Washington University in Saint Louis (WashU). Having already lived in the UK and traveled around Europe during my PhD, moving to the USA wasn’t a major cultural shock. However, my understanding of the country was largely based on what I had seen in American movies. It has now been seven years since I moved—one year in Saint Louis, Missouri, and six years in Rockville, Maryland. During this time, I’ve come to appreciate aspects of life in the USA that I hadn’t considered before, and I suspect many of my friends and relatives in India are unaware of them as well. Recently, I’ve watched several Instagram reels and YouTube shorts comparing lifestyles in India and the USA. A common complaint is that people had more comfortable lives in India because domestic help was readily available, a service often too expensive for many in the USA. As a result, household chores here fall to the individuals themselves. This contrasts with the idea that moving to the USA always means enjoying a lavish lifestyle. While it’s true you can earn more here, you also give up certain comforts. That’s why when people ask if they should move to the USA, I always ask them about their purpose. Do they want to explore the world, find a more satisfying job, earn money in the short term before returning home, or permanently immigrate? Do they understand what they’re giving up, and do they have a realistic picture of life in the USA? Often, their expectations are shaped by social media, which tends to show only the glamorous side. It’s difficult to grasp the reality of day-to-day life in another country unless you’ve lived there. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Only_consuming_library_media⠀⇛ I recently watched a video on YouTube of a guy who challenged himself to disconnect from modern convenient media sources and only consumed his media from the public library. So that's what I've been doing for a while. My library has a huge selection of CDs, shows, books (duh) and much more. This is more of a desperate attempt to disconnect from the web and its attention seeking sites, but I am enjoying this 'challenge' quite a lot. I much prefer having to choose which CDs to bring along rather than having 1000s of songs at my disposal, as many time I barely know what I want to listen. # ⚓ FreeBSD_Linuxulator⠀⇛ Oh wow, the #FreeBSD #Linuxulator is just magic! I setup an Ubuntu #LinuxJail as described in the linked wiki and was able to compile and flash #Arduino code to my Uno using #PlatformIO, which is absolutely mind blowing because the tools for compiling are not available for "freebsd_amd64", yet in this Linux environment (not emulated, not a VM, just a translation layer), the Linux binaries were able to compile and then flash to the USB device (using the FreeBSD kernel and drivers). 🤯 # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ CSS_Naked_Day_2025⠀⇛ Today is CSS Naked Day! I completely forgot about it until I checked my RSS feed reader and saw that Matthew Graybosch was celebrating again this year. Good thing I prepped for today by getting rid of all CSS on my site preemptively! That can be seen in my post from a few weeks ago, linked below. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

The most recent example of enjoying things by myself was going to a music festival *alone*, the idea was to go with a friend but we ended up in hotels way too apart and we already planned to see different artists with overlapping schedules so we never saw each other during the festival. And you know what? it felt amazing. I was able to see the artists I enjoy and leave when I felt done. # ⚓ NATMOS:R_A7|_LQ’s_account_of_the_end⠀⇛ Ok, so this is the end for side A, again I dont know what to do. I am also listening to LIGHT AND DARKNESS, so I might do a story on that later on. I might be making more videos too on WeVidi. So stay tuned, but for right now here is a question: What is the stupidest argument you ever had with a friend. # ⚓ The_Secret_of_Happiness⠀⇛ You need to get some silicone earplugs. Foam earplugs are not good enough. While you are at the drug store buying silicone earplugs, you should also buy yourself a pill case. Choose a pill case that is sturdy enough to survive life in your pocket and also the right size to hold a single pair of earplugs. Put a pair of earplugs in your pill case. Put the pill case in your pocket. Imagine a public space that you normally find o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Snapshot_and_rollback_of_virtual_machines⠀⇛ FreeBSD combines the power of bhyve, the hypervisor/virtual machine manager, with the power of ZFS. # ⚓ Proprietary_Services_and_Hypocrisy⠀⇛ I have recently had to get back on two of the worst proprietary network services (Facebook and Discord... Gross...) to coordinate IRL activities I care a great deal about. I also feel like a total hypocrite about it since I've been a huge free software advocate for a long time. I even lost friends dramatically leaving Facebook and Discord in 2019/2020. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Website_down...⠀⇛ So, I was *going* to write about how I've been reading through old FIDONET News zines [0] and enjoying the look into the past, but I got a notification from a script about my site getting a huge uptick in traffic. Figuring it was the AI bots cycling around, I opened up SSH, checked the nginx logs, and... No. It wasn't the scrapers. Something stirred the hornet nest, because my VPS was getting slammed by a buch of security scanners and bots for credential theft (AWS, github, gitlab, etc.). I didn't have time to sift through everything, so I just shut off nginx to give me time to make a game plan. My site isn't vital for business or anything, but it hurts having to take it down like this. I didn't ask for any of the scans I was seeing, and the malicious bots were definitely not requested. At least for the security scanners, they seem to be from legit sources, but like hell I'm going to say I wanted it when I didn't ask for it. # ⚓ overthinking_POSSE⠀⇛ I've been overthinking POSSE (Publish n Own Site, Syndicate Everywhere) for a while now, and I think I'll go on doing it right now, thanks. [...] tl;dr Syndicate your stuff to other small-web sites, like Bear, Mataroa, write.as, Dreamwidth, and so on. I'm torn between two positions here: 1. Sometimes I write stuff I think is halfway decent, or that I stand behind, or that I think is important to say when I say it. Stuff I think is sufficiently important to deserve to be in front of larger audiences. (1.5 I am incredibly lazy and have ADHD and am usually done with a thing when I've written it, hence why I don't pitch more of this stuff to major outlets.) (1.75 Also have you ever dealt with a major outlet? It's work. I don't blog to do work; I blog outside of work, on purpose.) 2. BUT: Do I just think my work needs a larger audience because I am vain about it? Like any mother, do I only think my kids are beautiful and talented because they are mine? Is my interest in publishing to a "wider audience" based in nothing more than my own personal vanity?

I’ve just come across those as Bosch is developing magnetic-field quantum sensors harnessing “the power of quantum physics to enable measurements with unmatched precision” while being much more compact than other quantum sensors using techniques like SQUIDs (superconducting quantum interference device), vapor cells, or optical traps. o ⚓ Smithsonian Magazine ☛ Who_Should_Own_the_Hillside_Where_Vincent van_Gogh_Made_His_Last_Painting?⠀⇛ More than 130 years after van Gogh painted Tree Roots, the painting is still stirring controversy in Auvers-sur- Oise, a usually serene town of less than 7,000 people, around 17 miles from the center of Paris. o ⚓ Film Freak Central ☛ A_Minecraft_Movie_(2025)_-_FILM_FREAK CENTRAL⠀⇛ I believe our willingness to allow our children to wither in body and mind is the rough beast Yeats warns us about in “The Second Coming”. All those “best” who sit on their hands, who have been taught throughout their school years not to think seriously about the products of our culture. [...] o ⚓ Brandon ☛ Contemplating_The_Online_"Face"⠀⇛ I bring this story up, because the idea of having an online persona fascinates me. It's really easy to see these things emerge on social media, especially through the false reality of influencers, but this sort of behavior also translates to bloggers, including myself, whether I like to admit it or not. o ⚓ Tracy Durnell ☛ Dumbness_is_emotional,_not_intellectual⠀⇛ We overweight “intelligence” compared with culture in people’s decision-making, and are quick to blame stupidity although cultural incentives encourage people to disregard empirical evidence and act tribally. We overvalue the idea of generalized intelligence, when society benefits from people thinking in many different ways, expressing many different affinities, and excelling in many different disciplines. I know that even though my brain works differently than most people’s, that doesn’t make it a bad brain 😄 It is not a lack of intelligence that causes people to do dumb things, but how our cultural context shapes and offers outlets for our emotions. Part of why I’ve been interested in media ecology and what makes culture lately is because they help me understand the choices others make… especially when I disagree with them 😉 o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Incoming_Head_of_NASA_Puts_SpaceX_in_Its_Place: "They_Work_for_Us,_Not_the_Other_Way_Around"⠀⇛ "They're the contractors, NASA is the customer." # ⚓ Society for Scholarly Publishing ☛ Peer_Review_Has_Lost_Its Human_Face._So,_What’s_Next?⠀⇛ Previously in The Scholarly Kitchen, I have written about a wide range of flaws of our current peer- review systems (on several occasions, lately). In this post, I explain why I think human-dependent peer review has lost its human element, thus its relevance, and what we can do to install a new system by abandoning the present one. I offer eight points of reflection. # ⚓ RTL ☛ Four-year_project:_Race_to_save_Sweden's_17th_century warship_in_preservation_project⠀⇛ Experts have begun putting in place a complex metal structure to support the hull, which more than 60 years after its salvage has begun to sag in the Stockholm museum custom-built for it. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Michael Tsai ☛ Reflecting_on_18_Years_at_Google⠀⇛ # ⚓ [Old] Hixie ☛ Hixie's_Natural_Log:_Reflecting_on_18_years at_Google⠀⇛ I joined Google in October 2005, and handed in my resignation 18 years later. Last week was my last week at Google. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ iTWire_-_What_can_you_do_with_an_electrical_and computer_engineering_degree?⠀⇛ Here's an overview of some of the top jobs and career paths for ECE majors. # ⚓ Jeroen Sangers ☛ Jeroen_Sangers_◦_brain_tags_-_Do_the_right thing,_in_the_right_way,_and_at_the_right_moment⠀⇛ Three core principles of effectiveness and productivity. It starts with identifying the right tasks that contribute to your goals and priorities. This means being able to distinguish what is truly important from what merely seems urgent. The concept of “do the right things” comes into play here, where you focus on tasks that have the greatest impact on your long-term goals. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Apple_aims_to_beat_the_tariff_cutoff, reportedly_shipped_five_extra_planeloads_of_goods_from_India to_the_U.S._in_March [Ed: You can manufacture all sorts of things in India, but reaching the precision and quality levels of CJK is impossible for several more decades. Apple's devices were already unreliable; it'll get worse.]⠀⇛ To avoid a new 10% U.S. import tax, Fashion Company Apple rushed five planeloads of iPhones, PCs, and other devices from India to the U.S. in late March, buying time to assess the impact of the tariff policy. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Everyone’s_Talking_GPMI,_Should_You?⠀⇛ The tech press has been full of announcements over the last day or two regarding GPMI. It’s a new standard with the backing of a range of Chinese hardware companies, for a high-speed digital video interface to rival HDMI. The Chinese semiconductor company HiSilicon have a whitepaper on the subject (Chinese language, Google Translate link), promising a tremendously higher data rate than HDMI, power delivery well exceeding that of USB-C, and interestingly, bi-directional data transfer. Is HDMI dead? Probably not, but the next few years will bring us some interesting hardware as they respond to this upstart. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ iPhone_factories_unlikely_in_US_despite Trump's_opinion⠀⇛ Steve Jobs candidly told Barack Obama in 2011 that iPhone manufacturing was unlikely to ever come back to the US, and Apple's current leader Tim Cook has echoed similar sentiments. "China put an enormous focus on manufacturing. In what we would call … vocational kind of skills," Cook said on 60 Minutes in 2015. "The US, over time, began to stop having as many vocational kind of skills." "You can take every tool and die maker in the United States and probably put them in a room that we're currently sitting in. In China, you would have to have multiple football fields," Cook added. # ⚓ 9to5Mac ☛ Trump_thinks_the_US_has_the_'resources'_needed_to make_iPhones⠀⇛ As reported yesterday, Apple has been stockpiling iPhone inventory in the United States ahead of Trump’s tariffs. This will help the company stave off the impact of the tariffs and avoid price increases for now. We’re still waiting on a public response from Apple on its plans. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Musk's_DOGE_muzzled_on_X_over_tape storage_baloney⠀⇛ Secondly, while magnetic tape is correctly identified as a 70-year-old technology for information storage, DOGE's post is wrong about its relevance to the modern data stack. It is the most cost-effective and stable medium for long-term storage and has benefited from investment from a number of tech companies, not least IBM. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ How_to_Stay_Safe_if_You’re_Traveling_and an_Earthquake_Strikes⠀⇛ Many popular vacation destinations, like California, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Thailand and the Caribbean are in active quake zones. Here are tips for staying safe. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Father_Whose_Daughter_Died_From_Measles_Says_RFK Jr._Never_Even_Mentioned_the_Vaccine⠀⇛ Despite his public change of heart regarding the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, it's not exactly shocking that Kennedy is privately talking out of both sides of his mouth. # ⚓ [Old] Cornell University ☛ Modern_Soma⠀⇛ Every uncomfortable situation, awkward interaction or moment of boredom — soma gets rid of them all. Just reach into your pocket and feel the metaphysical weight of it. It’s what has silenced commuter trains, isolated untold numbers of people and taken away the pressure that comes with free- thinking. And why does society accept this lobotomized form of existence? Mustapha Mond, World Controller extraordinaire, answers this saying, “Anything for a quiet life.” # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ America's_ERs_In_Peril,_Report Says⠀⇛ Under federal law, all people who arrive at an ER must be assessed and treated, regardless of their ability to pay, researchers noted. # ⚓ MIT Technology Review ☛ A_new_biosensor_can_detect_bird_flu in_five_minutes⠀⇛ The new device samples the air in real time, running the samples past a specialized biosensor every five minutes. The sensor has strands of genetic material called aptamers that were used to bind specifically to the virus. When that happens, it creates a detectable electrical change. The research, published in ACS Sensors in February, may help farmers contain future outbreaks. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Forbes ☛ Microsoft_Warns_240_Million_Windows_Users—Stop Using_Your_PC⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Google_boards_the_AI_agent_hype_train⠀⇛ Among the announcements was a promise to introduce an Agent Development Kit (ADK), an open-source framework Google said would simplify the process of building business software that integrates AI agents – question-answering and task-performing software that makes decisions and forms its output using large language models. Agents can be seen as software that talks to other software. # ⚓ Michael Tsai ☛ Why_Companies_Don’t_Fix_Bugs⠀⇛ I think these kinds of bugs do drive customers away, but did it really happen if you can’t measure it? [...] # ⚓ Macworld ☛ How_Apple_can_handle_Trump's_tariffs_without raising_prices_(too_much)⠀⇛ Speculation says that the prices of Apple products are headed up. Apple Stores are crowded with buyers who are trying to beat the anticipated price increases. But while prices are probably going up, that’s only one of the many levers Apple can pull in order to deal with the tariff situation. Here’s a look at what the company might do to mitigate the tariff issue as much as possible. # ⚓ PC World ☛ April's_security_update_for_older_Office_version is_causing_app_crashes⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Don't_open_that_file_in_WhatsApp_for Windows_just_yet⠀⇛ The spoofing flaw, tracked as CVE-2025-30401, affects all versions of WhatsApp Desktop for Windows prior to 2.2450.6, and stems from a bug in how the app handles file attachments. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Microsoft_resets_'days_since_last_Windows 11_problem'_to_0⠀⇛ The issue is the latest in a long line for Windows 11 24H2, which, it is fair to say, has not been a stellar success for Microsoft. The list of problems exceeds those in the previous version, according to the company's release health dashboard. This might indicate that the company is becoming more open about problems in Windows or that testing quality before release has continued to decline. Or perhaps it is a combination of the two. # ⚓ Michael Tsai ☛ Locked_Out_of_Apple_Developer_Accounts⠀⇛ # § Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ Will_Hey_Hi_(AI)_Save_the_News?

The vehicles will be driven manually for the purposes of gathering mapping data and will be managed by a local taxi fleet operator, Nihon Kotsu. About 25 vehicles are being sent, with the first already having been spotted in a parking lot in Tokyo. # ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ Model_Context_Protocol_has_prompt injection_security_problems⠀⇛ As more people start hacking around with implementations of MCP (the Model Context Protocol, a new standard for making tools available to LLM-powered systems) the security implications of tools built on that protocol are starting to come into focus. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ You'll_Die_Inside_When_You_Hear_How Trump's_Education_Secretary_Pronounces_"AI"⠀⇛ During an education summit organized by Silicon Valley venture capitalists, the 76- year-old Trump appointee and former professional wrestling promoter repeatedly pronounced "AI" as "A1," the name of a popular steak sauce produced by Kraft Heinz. The baffling appearance suggested that McMahon somehow doesn't know how to pronounce one of the most ubiquitous acronyms in modern society. o § Pseudo-Open Source⠀➾ # § Openwashing⠀➾ # ⚓ Venture Beat ☛ The_RAG_reality_check:_New_open-source framework_lets_enterprises_scientifically_measure_Hey Hi_(AI)_performance⠀⇛ New open-source evaluation framework quantifies RAG pipeline performance with scientific metrics, helping enterprises cut through the Hey Hi (AI) hype cycle with objective measurements. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Deep_Cogito_releases_open-source language_models_that_outperform_Llama [Ed: Openwashing garbage again]⠀⇛ Startup Deep Cogito Inc. launched today with a series of language models that it claims can outperform comparably-sized open-source alternatives.  According to TechCrunch, the company was founded last June by former Surveillance Giant Google LLC staffers Drishan Arora and Dhruv Malhotra. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Aurascape_Banks_Hefty_$50_Million_to Mitigate_‘Shadow_AI’_Risks⠀⇛ Silicon Valley startup secures big investment from Menlo Ventures and Mayfield Fund to solve the “shadow AI” security problem. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Microsoft_Patches_125_backdoored_Windows Vulns,_Including_Exploited_CLFS_Zero-Day [Ed: But_back_doors will_be_left_for_Trump's_NSA,_as_usual]⠀⇛ Patch Tuesday: Abusive Monopolist Microsoft ships urgent cover for another WIndows CLFS vulnerability already exploited in the wild. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Microsoft_patches_zero-day_actively exploited_in_string_of_ransomware_attacks⠀⇛ Microsoft said Storm-2460 has exploited the zero- day in the backdoored Windows Common Log File System to attack organizations in the U.S., Venezuela, Spain and Saudi Arabia. # ⚓ Citizen Lab ☛ How_Can_Canada_Tackle_Foreign_Interference Without_a_U.S._Ally?⠀⇛ In a piece for the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, Emile Dirks and Diana Fu argue that the U.S.’s pull back from its liberal-minded engagements in China “poses an imminent challenge to Canada: how to curb Beijing’s foreign interference without the support of a network of organizations backed by its powerful ally to the south. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ What’s_it_like_inside_the intelligence_community_anyway⠀⇛ The intelligence community has been caught the spotlight as it has always been a cauldron of big personalities dealing with big issues and lots of opinions. # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Investigatory_Powers_Tribunal_rejects Government_secrecy_over_Fashion_Company_Apple encryption_case⠀⇛ The IPT also raised the prospect that future hearings around the case may be held in public. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Google_tools_required_for_classwork are_allegedly_being_used_to_build_data_profiles_of_each student⠀⇛ A new lawsuit alleges that Surveillance Giant Google is spying on school children and harvesting their data to create profiles, due to the mandated use of Surveillance Giant Google hardware and software. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Privacy_fights_over_expiring surveillance_law_loom_after_House_hearing⠀⇛ At issue are warrant requirements sought by Judiciary Committee members and other gripes they have about the most recent Section 702 legislation. # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Pluralistic:_EFF’s_lawsuit_against DOGE_will_go_forward⠀⇛ In my 23 years at EFF, I've been privileged to get a front-row seat for some of the most important legal battles over tech and human rights in history. There've been tremendous victories and heartbreaking losses, but win or lose, I am forever reminded that I'm privileged to work with some of the smartest, most committed, savviest cyberlawyers in the world. These days, it's more of a second-row seat – I work remotely, mostly on my own projects, and I rely on our Deeplinks blog as much as our internal message-boards to keep up with our cases. Yesterday, I happened on this fantastic explainer breaking down our most recent court victory, in our case against DOGE on behalf of federal workers whose privacy rights have been violated during DOGE's raid on the Office of Personnel Management's databases: [...] # ⚓ Wired ☛ Spyware_Maker_NSO_Group_Is_Paving_a_Path_Back Into_Trump’s_America⠀⇛ The Israeli spyware vendor has been on the US Commerce Department’s “blacklist” for more than three years, meaning it cannot do business with US companies without specific government approval. NSO Group poured at least $1.8 million into an aggressive pre- election lobbying effort, focusing primarily on Republican senators and representatives, with some meetings occurring as often as eight times. Yet the company remains on the Entity List. Now, with a new occupant in the White House, NSO Group appears to be shifting its political strategy. # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ Contributor:_How_a_$200_check_can put_you_on_a_government_watch_list⠀⇛ More than 1 million Californians and Texans are about to face a new level of financial surveillance from the federal government. Although cash transactions over $10,000 have long been reported under current law, now many transactions of as little as $200 will have to be reported in 30 ZIP Codes along the border with Mexico. Financial surveillance in the United States has needed reform, but this policy marks little more than another intrusion into the lives of Americans. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ 'Copilot_will_remember_key_details about_you'⠀⇛ We asked Microsoft if this would be an opt-in feature. A spokesperson told The Register that "if personalization is available, Copilot will remember key details about you and make your Copilot experience catered to you. You can opt out of Personalization anytime if you no longer want Copilot to remember facts about you through memory." # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Microsoft_starts_testing_Copilot_Vision update_that_can_‘see’_your_screen_and_apps⠀⇛ Microsoft has started testing a new update to its Copilot app on Windows that will let you share your screen or apps with the AI assistant.

At least one member of Congress believes so, and he’s expressing “deep reservations” as a result. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Second_TikTok_Sale_Deadline_Extension Spurs_Lawmaker_Criticism⠀⇛ Time will tell exactly what the criticism (coming only from the senator, with no co-signers on the letter) means for TikTok’s possible U.S. sale. Most immediately here, from the perspective of support among younger voters, logic and evidence suggest that aggressively advocating for TikTok’s stateside shutdown is ill-advised. # ⚓ Axios ☛ Facebook_whistleblower_to_tell_Congress_Meta undermined_US_national_security⠀⇛ The big picture: The former global public policy director at Facebook, now Meta, will allege that Facebook cooperated with China's ruling Communist Party, per her opening testimony, as seen by Axios. # ⚓ [Repeat] Digital Music News ☛ And_After_All_That,_TikTok Could_Still_Go_'Poof'⠀⇛ Last we checked, TikTok is available on both the iOS App Store and Google Play Store, though this situation is volatile. And certainly not a recipe for crafting stellar, long-term artist marketing campaigns — or advertising campaigns, for that matter. # ⚓ [Repeat] Digital Music News ☛ TikTok_to_Stay_on_App_Store Amid_Forced-Sale_Uncertainty:_Report⠀⇛ But what about TikTok’s presence on the App Store and the Play Store? As we learned earlier in the forced-sale fiasco, besides being unavailable to download, TikTok when booted from app marketplaces cannot deliver all-important updates to existing users. # ⚓ The Record ☛ Estonia_considers_allowing_Navy_to_sink merchant_ships_threatening_submarine_cables_|_The_Record_from Recorded_Future_News⠀⇛ The Riigikogu, Estonia’s parliament, is set to have the first reading of a new proposed law on Wednesday that would allow the country’s Navy to sink merchant ships that are threatening to damage submarine cables. It comes amid increased concern about Baltic Sea subsea infrastructure following a series of cable breaks that have prompted fears of a Russian sabotage campaign. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ The Dissenter ☛ Boeing_Says_Attacks_On_Whistleblowers_All Part_Of_The_Past⠀⇛ # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ N.C._Lawmakers_Ask_for_Investigation_on_Money Meant_for_Sexual_Abuse_Survivors⠀⇛ Members of a bipartisan committee of North Carolina senators are asking the state auditor to investigate how money intended to stop human trafficking had been spent and managed, in response to ProPublica’s reporting. ProPublica had reported how the Republican- dominated legislature had directed $15 million for sexual abuse survivors away from Democratic-led agencies that had long overseen such money, sending it to a tiny commission in the Republican-helmed state court system. The Human Trafficking Commission struggled to disburse the funds in a timely manner, according to its former grants administrator. Staffers at 18 crisis centers told ProPublica payments were delayed for months and led to cuts, some of which continue to limit urgent, potentially lifesaving services. # ⚓ FAIR ☛ NYT_Covers_Up_for_Cuomo⠀⇛ Shockingly, however, Cuomo has entered the New York City mayoral race and catapulted directly into the polling lead, with the help of his widespread name recognition—and some journalists willing to lend a hand to his image rehabilitation campaign. While some local papers have been scathing in their coverage of the ex-governor, the New York Times seems to be largely buying what Cuomo’s selling. # ⚓ The Washington Post ☛ Meta_silenced_a_whistleblower._Now she’s_talking_to_Congress.⠀⇛ A former global policy director at Meta told a Senate committee Wednesday that top executives at the social media giant were willing to undermine national security and “betray American values” to build a censored version of Facebook for the Chinese market. Sarah Wynn-Williams, who worked on a team that handled China policy issues and has since written a best-selling book that Meta has sought to prevent her from promoting, testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that Meta — then called Facebook — developed a censorship system in 2015 that would have allowed the Chinese Communist Party to oversee social media content and squash dissenting opinions. # ⚓ Nieman Lab ☛ How_to_leak_to_a_journalist⠀⇛ I spoke with eight journalists about how to leak in a safe, smart way. Disclaimer you probably knew was coming: No method of leaking is 100% secure, and the tips here reduce risk but cannot eliminate it completely. “I know it’s appealing to be instrumental in helping a reporter break a story, and god knows reporters love breaking stories,” says Marisa Kabas, an independent reporter and writer of The Handbasket who’s been breaking one scoop after another about DOGE and the Trump administration. “But in almost all cases, your safety and physical and mental health should come first.” # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ How_to_Leak_to_a_Journalist⠀⇛ Neiman Lab has some good advice on how to leak a story to a journalist. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Dozens_Die_in_Floods_Hitting_Congo’s Capital⠀⇛ While the Democratic Republic of Congo reels from a new rebel offensive in the east, its capital in the west, Kinshasa, grapples with deadly floods. # ⚓ Overpopulation ☛ Overpopulation:_A_New_Survey_Confirms_the Cause_of_the_Planet’s_Environmental_Crises⠀⇛ The article surveys recent scientific literature on the six most pressing environmental crises facing humanity: deforestation, climate change, biodiversity loss, fishery depletion, water scarcity, and desertification. Drawing on hundreds of peer-reviewed studies, one conclusion becomes crystal clear: unless the world confronts overpopulation, genuine environmental progress will remain elusive. Here’s a brief summary of what emerges about each of these global challenges. # ⚓ MDPI ☛ The_Environmental_Impacts_of_Overpopulation⠀⇛ Overpopulation’s central role in environmental degradation is intermittently challenged. This article assesses the impact of mounting demographic pressures on six critical global sustainability challenges: deforestation, climate change, biodiversity loss, fishery depletion, water scarcity, and soil degradation. By synthesizing findings from hundreds of peer-reviewed studies, the article offers a comprehensive review of the effects of expanding human populations on the most pressing current environmental problems. Although the rate of population growth worldwide is slowing, human numbers are expected to continue increasing on Earth until the end of the century. Current research confirms that overpopulation causes substantial and potentially irreversible environmental impacts that cannot be ignored if international sustainability policy is to be effective. # ⚓ Chris O'Donnnell ☛ Climate_Change_in_One_Sentence⠀⇛ Just leaving this here because I'm sure I'll be referring to it regulalry. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Japan_to_sell_more_rice_reserves_as_prices soar⠀⇛ The shortages have been driven by factors including poor harvests due to hot weather in 2023 and panic- buying prompted by a "megaquake" warning last year. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ France24 ☛ Dihydroxyacetone_Man_signs_executive orders_to_boost_coal_industry⠀⇛ President The Insurrectionist has signed executive orders Tuesday aimed at boosting coal, a reliable but polluting energy source that’s long been in decline. Convicted Felon will use his emergency authority to allow some older coal-fired power plants set for retirement to keep producing electricity to meet rising U.S. power demand amid growth in data centers, artificial intelligence and electric cars. FRANCE 24's Siobhan Silke reports. # ⚓ La Quadature Du Net ☛ Simplification’_law:_stop_the data_center_boom!⠀⇛ This is all the more concerning that the principle of a moratorium — a way of laying the foundations for democratic control of data centers, and of countering the government’s desire to accelerate ever further in defiance of rights and democracy — is supported by a wide range of actors. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Microsoft_puts_$1B_DC_builds_on hold_amid_AI,_tariff_worries⠀⇛ The Windows maker confirmed it put on hold $1 billion plans for three bit barn sites in Licking County – at New Albany, Heath and Hebron – citing a strategic investment review for the decision, telling The Register it will "not be moving forward at this time with our plans to build datacenters at the Licking County sites. We will continue to evaluate these sites in line with our investment strategy." # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ Single_Pilot_Operations_—_let’s_replace airline_copilots_with_AI!⠀⇛ There’s a shortage of airline pilots. The airlines are cutting training for new pilots, they’re running out of ex-military pilots who want to go civilian, and prospective pilots are reluctant to drop $100,000 or more personally. But “AI” is hot right now, so it’s the perfect time for the airline industry to push once more for single pilot operations — where you replace the copilot with a machine- learning system! At least it’s not an LLM. # ⚓ The New Leaf Journal ☛ Amazon_“Cargo_Bikes”_in Brooklyn⠀⇛ While I have enjoyed watching the funny Amazon carts drive around, I had not dug into their backstory. Let us change that. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Why_airlines_are_banning_power_banks_on flights:_what_passengers_need_to_know⠀⇛ “The main issue with power banks is the lithium-ion batteries they contain, which, if damaged or faulty, can pose a fire hazard. A malfunctioning power bank can overheat, catch fire, or even explode, which is particularly dangerous in the confined space of an aircraft,” said travel expert Colin Pearson. # ⚓ YLE ☛ Amazon_buys_up_all_electricity_from_huge_wind farms_in_western_Finland⠀⇛ Swedish energy company OX2 announced last week that it would invest 700 million euros in the Rajamäenkylä and Halsua wind farms. They will have a capacity of 472 megawatts (MW). Amazon said that it will use its wind power investment as part of efforts to offset its total emissions. According to the company, this does not mean that it is planning to build a data centre in Finland. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Trump_Tells_Justice_Department_to_Just_Let [Cryptocurrency]_Fraud_Slide⠀⇛ Specifically, the memo calls for the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Unit (NCET) to be disbanded "effective immediately" to comply with Trump's January executive order related to digital assets. The task force was established in 2021, and was made up of prosecutors and attorneys specializing in money laundering and cybercrime. # ⚓ Hindustan Times ☛ Why_power_banks_are_being_banned_on flights:_Essential_facts_you_should_know⠀⇛ Airlines are increasingly implementing restrictions or outright bans on carrying power banks during flights due to safety concerns. These small, portable battery packs, once vital for travellers needing to charge devices in transit, are now considered a fire risk. The growing caution comes as aviation authorities highlight the dangers of lithium-ion battery malfunctions, which can lead to overheating, fires, or explosions. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Trump’s_Abuse_of_Emergency Declaration_to_Force_Ratepayers_to_Prop_Up_Inefficient Coal_Power_Plants_Is_Breathlessly_Stupid⠀⇛ “Reviving or extending coal to power data centers would force working families to subsidize polluting coal on behalf of Big Tech billionaires and despoil our nation’s public lands. States planning to move to cleaner, cheaper energy sources could be forced to keep old coal plants up and running for years, forcing nearby residents to breathe dirty air and harming the climate. Trump’s expected use of the threat of power demand growth from AI data centers to ramp up domestic coal mining and consumption is unjustifiable, as Public Citizen recently pointed out to Congress. Trump and his team of incompetents continue to demonstrate their lack of understanding of how energy markets work. Public Citizen is more than happy to meet with Administration officials and walk them through why forcing American families to pay for uneconomic coal power plants is dull- witted and will result in a massive ratepayer-funded subsidy for Big Tech billionaires. # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ The Revelator ☛ Saving_America’s_National_Parks_and Forests_Means_Shaking_Off_the_Rust_of_Inaction⠀⇛ o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ LRT ☛ Banks_not_planning_to_exit_Lithuania,_SEB headquarters_issue_still_open_–_PM⠀⇛ Commercial banks operating in Lithuania have no plans to pull out of the country, Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas said on Monday while commenting on proposed tax changes currently under discussion within the ruling coalition and their possible impact on the investment environment. # ⚓ China_vows_to_fight_back_as_many_scramble_to_strike_tariff deals_with_Convicted_Felon⠀⇛ Dihydroxyacetone Man vowed an additional 50% tariff on Chinese imports if Beijing doesn’t drop its retaliatory tariffs on the US. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Congress_Allows_Musk’s_X_Money_to_Fleece Consumers⠀⇛ “Elon Musk orchestrated a plan to rip off consumers with impunity when he tweeted ‘Delete CFPB’ and Congress just rubber-stamped it. Today’s shameful vote means that X, an app already swarming with bots and scammers, will be able to connect to your bank account and allow fraudsters to take your money without accountability. Thanks to the CFPB’s supervision, $120 million was refunded to consumers who were scammed through Cash App. That kind of policing will be significantly harder now that Congress has voted to strip the CFPB of its ability to proactively watch over payment apps. And thanks to DOGE’s intrusions into the CFPB’s databases, Musk now has access to sensitive financial data from companies investigated by the agency, including virtually all would-be competitors to X Money in the digital payments space.” # ⚓ Lee Peterson ☛ How_much_money_have_I_made_with_wallpaper packs?⠀⇛ So here we are $40 in almost 2 years. Not setting any records am I or even covering the site costs but it’s something that does pay a little portion of it. It’s a hobby, alas not enough to support me but it doesn’t take away my creative enjoyment of creating them and seeing them being used. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Trump_orders_probe_of_'censorship'_by former_CISA_boss_Krebs⠀⇛ Other elements of the memo, such as claims that the 2020 election was rigged, have been disproved many times. Because those claims weren't at all true. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ DHS_Is_Searching_Social_Medias_of_Visa_and_Green Card_Applicants_for_“Antisemitism”⠀⇛ The press release makes it clear that the administration is targeting speech that favors certain “terrorist” groups fighting Israel over its genocide in Gaza, specifically naming Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, and the Houthi movement. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Trump_signs_order_stripping_Chris_Krebs of_security_clearance⠀⇛ Trump dismissed Krebs, a highly esteemed Department of Homeland Security official, in November 2020 after what he viewed as actions not sufficiently loyal to the president. Krebs had played a key role in protecting the 2020 election from hacking and misinformation, consistently debunking baseless claims of widespread electoral fraud made by Trump and his allies, typically avoiding direct reference to the president. # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ Labour_‘dropped_grooming_gangs_inquiries to_avoid_offending_Pakistanis’⠀⇛ Sir Trevor, the former chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, said Labour’s response to the grooming gangs scandal was “utterly shameful” because it was “so obviously political” to avoid offending a particular demographic of voters. # ⚓ Deccan Chronicle ☛ Microsoft_Fires_Workers_After_Israel Contract_Protest⠀⇛ Microsoft accused one of the workers in a termination letter Monday of misconduct "designed to gain notoriety and cause maximum disruption to this highly anticipated event.” Microsoft says the other worker had already announced her resignation, but on Monday it ordered her to leave five days early. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Tech_CEOs_spent_millions_courting_Donald Trump._It_has_yet_to_pay_off.⠀⇛ The sweeping tariffs he imposed last week will squeeze Apple's iPhone supply chain and make it much more expensive for Amazon, Meta, Google and Microsoft to build supercomputers to power artificial intelligence. The president has slashed federal funding for research into emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing. His immigration clampdown has incited fears that he will cut off pipelines for tech talent. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Europe_wants_to_lighten_AI_compliance_burden for_startups⠀⇛ EU tech chief Henna Virkkunen will present the measure on Wednesday. The 27-country European Union signed off the landmark AI Act last year, a more comprehensive rulebook than the United States' light-touch voluntary compliance approach. China's AI regulations aim to maintain social stability and state control. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ China_Creates_Mocking_AI_Video_of_Average Americans_Working_in_Garment_Factory⠀⇛ A wild AI-generated post depicting schlubby Americans toiling in dingy factories has gone viral on Chinese social media before leaking out onto US trending tabs. It pokes fun at Trump's so-called "reindustrialization" gambit to bring factories back to the US — and anyone foolish enough to believe the billionaire's policies will benefit American workers. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ AccessNow ☛ Gabonese_authorities_must_ensure_internet access_throughout_upcoming_elections⠀⇛ Authorities in Gabon must ensure unfettered access to the internet throughout the upcoming elections in the country on April 12, 2025. # ⚓ AccessNow ☛ #KeepItOn:_authorities_in_Gabon_must_safeguard open_and_secure_internet_access_during_elections⠀⇛ #KeepItOn urges authorities in Gabon to keep the internet, social control media, and all communication channels open and secure during the April 12 elections. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Robert_W._McChesney,_Who_Warned_of Corporate_Media_Control,_Dies_at_72⠀⇛ In over a dozen books, he explored the failures of journalism and the internet, blaming capitalism and calling for the nationalization of Facebook (Farcebook) and Google. # ⚓ CPJ ☛ At_least_7_journalists_detained_in_Ethiopia_on_terror allegations⠀⇛ The journalists’ lawyers argue editorial lapses should be addressed under Ethiopia’s media law, which stipulates administrative and civil remedies, and a proclamation against hate speech, not antiterrorism legislation. CPJ’s emails requesting comment from Ethiopia’s federal ministry of justice were unanswered. # ⚓ Axios ☛ Judge_sides_with_AP_over_White_House_ban_for_press coverage⠀⇛ A federal judge on Tuesday sided with the Associated Press in its lawsuit against the White House, declaring that under the First Amendment the government can't bar journalists from certain government events because of their viewpoints. Why it matters: It's a huge victory for both the AP and the free press. # ⚓ uni Northwestern ☛ Students_on_the_Beat⠀⇛ The University of Vermont was not the first school with students providing local news coverage, but it is central to this burgeoning national movement. Richard Watts had noticed the dwindling number of news internships and mentorship opportunities available to his University of Vermont journalism students when he created the school’s Community News Service in 2019 to get them out into the surrounding communities to report. “The basic point is to bring more of these experiences into the curriculum, so first and foremost, it’s about a high-impact experience for the students,” Watts said. “And then content is available for free to local media partners.” o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Trump’s_Shuttering_of_DHS_Civil_Rights_Office Freezes_600_Cases⠀⇛ On Feb. 10, more than a dozen Department of Homeland Security officials joined a video conference to discuss an obscure, sparsely funded program overseen by its Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties. The office, charged with investigating when the national security agency is accused of violating the rights of both immigrants and U.S. citizens, had found itself in the crosshairs of Elon Musk’s secretive Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. It began as a typical briefing, with Homeland Security officials explaining to DOGE a program many describe as a win-win. It had provided some $20 million in recent years to local organizations that provide case workers to keep people in immigration proceedings showing up to court, staff explained, without expensive detentions and ankle monitors. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Trump_Is_Trying_to_Axe_Collective_Bargaining_for 1_Million_Federal_Employees_|_Truthout⠀⇛ Amid all this noise, many may have missed the massive public policy shift on federal trade unions, a move that could deeply alter the functioning of the U.S. government: In late March, Trump signed an executive order which, if it withstands legal challenges, will essentially end the right to collective bargaining for huge numbers of federal employees. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Trump_Revived_the_Law_Used_to_Intern_Japanese Americans,_and_SCOTUS_Let_Him_|_Truthout⠀⇛ In its procedural ruling on Trump v. J.G.G., the court upheld the Trump administration’s rhetorical reliance on the Alien Enemies Act to justify the transfers but required it to comport with the barest minimums of constitutional “due process” through individualized habeas corpus proceedings in largely hostile courts closer to the location of the detention centers where those targeted by the act are likely being held. The Supreme Court’s majority opinion was simultaneously outrageous and perfunctory, and procedural challenges are likely to continue. # ⚓ Hamilton Nolan ☛ An_International_Minimum_Wage⠀⇛ In the post-NAFTA world, “free trade” has indeed produced a great amount of wealth. What’s not to like is that essentially all of the wealth has been captured by the investor class. The American workers who lost their jobs got screwed and the overseas workers who took the newly created low wage jobs are still poor and all of the gains in profits that were produced in the economically rational process of producing products more cheaply was funneled to shithead business guys who live in Tribeca and have never set foot in a factory in their lives. The wreckage that “free trade” has produced in the US is, at its core, a distribution problem. NAFTA and similar policies were sold on the basis of “Hey this will increase efficiency and unlock vast wealth.” No thought was given to the fact that, absent specific policies to prevent it, that wealth would be distributed in vastly unequal ways. The people most affected by the policies, the workers, did not benefit from the new wealth that the policies unlocked. Quite the opposite!!!! o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ APNIC ☛ Share_your_thoughts_on_the_proposed_by-laws changes⠀⇛ The EC received thoughtful and valuable input during the consultation. A summary of the feedback, along with a recording of the session, is now available online. It will also be shared on the APNIC-Talk mailing list on Orbit. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ Life_without_advertisements_is_a_great life⠀⇛ I don’t see any of them. I don’t have a TV so I watch pretty much all my entertainment from streaming services, free or premium. I don’t go to web without an active and aggressive ad blocker. I don’t subscribe to any ad funded magazines or papers and I’ve blocked all paper ads to be delivered to me. § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Dennis Crouch/Patently-O ☛ Non-Tariff_Countermeasures_to U.S._Tariff_Hikes:_IP,_Services,_and_Investment Implications⠀⇛ In April 2025, Hell Toupée took initiative to sharply increased tariffs on imports, citing trade imbalances and reciprocity. In response, major trading partners such as the European Union (EU), China and others are considered countermeasures that go beyond tit-for-tat tariffs. Hell Toupée's actions were ostensibly driven by the large U.S. trade deficit in goods, but it also threatens key areas of U.S. strength – namely services, intellectual property (IP), and foreign investment where the U.S. runs global surpluses that far outpace the goods deficit. # ⚓ JUVE ☛ Ones_to_Watch_UK_2025:_Emily_Bottle [Ed: Marketing spam, i.e. more of the usual from JUVE, which also bags money to lobby for illegal things such as UPC (for Team UPC)]⠀⇛ Every year, JUVE Patent carries out extensive research in the UK patent monopoly market, culminating in the publication of the UK patent monopoly ranking. Our latest research highlighted Emily Bottle, newly appointed partner at Herbert Smith Freehills, as one of the current ‘Ones to Watch’ in the UK patent monopoly market. # ⚓ Unified Patents ☛ Davidson_Kempner_entity,_QPrivacy,_data security_patent_monopoly_challenged⠀⇛ On April 1, 2025, Unified Patents filed an ex parte reexamination proceeding against U.S._Patent 11,816,249, owned and asserted by QPrivacy USA LLC, an NPE and a Davidson Kempner entity. # § Kangaroo Courts⠀➾ # ⚓ Kluwer Patent Blog ☛ Patent_Attorneys,_Democracy_and the_UPC [Ed: UPC is patently illegal and an attack on democracy by the litigation industry and corrupt EPO. The very existence of this kangaroo 'court' demonstrates that Rule of Law was abandoned for corporations' gain.]⠀⇛ A famous joke that must now be over 30 years old quips about the strength of the (German) patent monopoly attorney profession: „If all German patent monopoly attorneys and their families decide to settle in a single place, they would not even win the communal elections in Miesbach.“ o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Who’s_suing_Hey_Hi_(AI)_and_who’s_signing: 14_publishers_join_lawsuit_against_start-up_Cohere⠀⇛ 14 major publishers sue Hey Hi (AI) start-up Cohere Inc. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Internet_Archive_vs._Music_Labels:_$600m+ Copyright_Rift_Edges_Toward_Settlement⠀⇛ Seven years ago, the Archive began archiving the sounds of 78rpm gramophone records, a format that is obsolete today. In addition to capturing their unique audio characteristics, including all ‘crackles and hisses’, this saves unique recordings for future generations before the vinyl or shellac disintegrates due to age. The ‘Great 78 Project‘ received praise from curators, historians, and music fans but not all music industry insiders were happy with it. Several record labels including Sony and UMG, sued the Internet Archive for copyright infringement in federal court in 2023. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Reintroduced_No_Fakes_Act_Draws_Music Industry_&_Tech_Support⠀⇛ It probably goes without saying, but this newfound unity resulted from months of back and forth on the No Fakes Act, the latest iteration of which is 40% longer than the original by page count. Just scratching the surface here, the bill contains updated liability exclusions, including for any “service by wire or radio that provides the capability to transmit data” and any “online service” provider for which it’s “not technologically feasible” to remove “offending material.” Meanwhile, the heftier legislation dives into a variety of penalties, for both online service providers and individuals, pertaining to alleged deepfake violations. And perhaps most notably, the No Fakes Act would enable litigating rightsholders to ask any district court clerk “to issue a subpoena to a provider of an online service for identification of an alleged violator” of the law. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Quavo_Faces_Copyright_Lawsuit_from Artist_Daniel_Arsham⠀⇛ Also in 2018 (and then again in 2023), the plaintiff allegedly displayed the creation, photos of which are included in the suit, to the public in an exhibition. Fast forward to December 2024, when Quavo allegedly took to Instagram and TikTok to upload a teaser for “Trappa Rappa” (2025). # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Tech_Giants_Propose_"Critical"_Piracy Shield_Regulation_Amendments⠀⇛ Proposals for new technical and operational changes were reported last month. Hampered by the veil of secrecy surrounding Piracy Shield and its operations, input from the public has little chance of being taken seriously.

It takes a little extra work compared to just pointing a camera at the build plate, but it’s worth it to see your prints materialize like magic. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ AMD_Dragon_Range_Refresh_CPU_specs confirmed_via_early_retail_listing_—_Ryzen_9_8940HX_sees_100 MHz_increase⠀⇛ AMD's Dragon Range Refresh CPU family has had more details revealed thanks to a new Asus listing on a Chinese retailer. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_Computers_Of_EPCOT⠀⇛ Even if you aren’t a Disney fan, you probably know about EPCOT — Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow — a Disney attraction that promised a glimpse of the future. [ErnieTech] takes a glimpse at the UNIVAC computer that ran the operation in the 1980s. A lot of schools had UNIVAC 1100-series computers back in those days, so while you don’t hear as much about them as, say, IBM 360s, there are hordes of people who have used the 1100s, even if they don’t remember it. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Designing_A_Tone_Control_Properly⠀⇛ Many years ago, audio equipment came with a tone control, a simple RC filter that would cut or boost the bass to taste. As time passed, this was split into two controls for bass and treble, and then finally into three for bass, mid, and treble. When audiophile fashion shifted towards graphic equalisers, these tone controls were rebranded as “3-band graphic equalisers”, a misleading term if ever we heard one. [Gabriel Dantas] designed one of these circuits, and unlike the simple passive networks found on cheap music centres of old, he’s doing a proper job with active filters. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ New_offers_for_buyouts_and_early retirement_offered_to_Homeland_Security_staff⠀⇛ The Department of Homeland Security is offering buyouts and early retirements as the Convicted Felon administration moves to shrink and reshape the federal workforce. # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Latvia_readies_foot-and-mouth_biosecurity precautions⠀⇛ If the dangerous foot-and-mouth disease affecting cattle in parts of Europe approaches Latvia, it is planned to disinfect incoming road transport on the Lithuanian-Latvian border, reports Latvian Radio. # ⚓ NYPost ☛ ‘Remembrance’_playwright_draws_on_mother’s ‘frightening’_battle_with_Alzheimer’s⠀⇛ The play “Remembrance” just closed its off-B’way run.

Sea levels in the village of Atafona, in the north of Rio de Janeiro state, could rise some 21cm by 2050, according to UN forecasts. The village is experiencing one of the world's most serious environmental disasters due to coastal erosion. Every year, the sea advances by an average of six metres. Across the country, over 2 million people could be affected in the long term by rising sea levels.

Opinions say China has the upper hand in this war of words. Also: Convicted Felon's Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr is forced to endorse the measles vaccine after the death of a second child in Texas. Plus: scientists say they've created a version of the dire wolf – a canine that went extinct 9,000 years ago! # ⚓ France24 ☛ Did_fictional_character_Ron_Vara_‘craft’ Convicted_Felon’s_tariff_policies?⠀⇛ As The Insurrectionist’s sweeping tariffs are threatening to plunge the global economy, many claim that the US President’s anti-China trade policies are based on the theories of a fake economics expert called Ron Vara, a fictional character invented and often cited by Convicted Felon’s top trade advisor, Peter Navarro. We explain in this edition of Truth or Fake. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong_to_‘fully_seize’ opportunities_in_China_amid_uncertainties_caused_by ‘ruthless’_US_tariffs,_chief_exec._says⠀⇛ Chief Executive John Lee has said Hong Kong will “fully seize” the opportunities in China and deepen regional ties amid uncertainties caused by “ruthless” US tariffs on the city’s goods. # ⚓ France24 ☛ US's_104%_tariffs_on_China_to_take_effect_on Wednesday⠀⇛ Tariffs that will effectively double the price of everything that comes from China to the United States is set to take effect at midnight on Wednesday, as Beijing stood firm on its plan to slap retaliatory duties on US imports in response to The Insurrectionist's "Liberation Day" tariffs. Meanwhile, the White House says nearly 70 countries have come forward to try and negotiate a deal out of the punitive tariffs.

This Friday, more than two decades later, South Carolina plans to execute him for his crimes, despite serious constitutional and moral questions that call for the Supreme Court to stay his execution. If carried out, Mikal’s execution will be the third in South Carolina this year, and the 12th execution nationwide. Without a doubt, Mikal’s crimes caused irreparable harm, but justice requires a fair trial and sentencing. # ⚓ LRT ☛ Lithuania_considers_laws_allowing_to_suspend_asylum rights_–_minister⠀⇛ Lithuania is drafting a package of migration legislation that would allow the authorities to close the border to asylum seekers, Interior Minister Vladislav Kondratovič says. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ How_Glenn_Youngkin,_a_Diversity_Champion, Became_an_Anti-DEI_Warrior⠀⇛ Not long before he became Virginia’s governor, Glenn Youngkin helped lead, and spoke approvingly of, efforts to improve racial and gender diversity at his private equity firm. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ APNIC ☛ Event_Wrap:_Convergence_India_Expo_2025⠀⇛ APNIC co-hosted a booth with IRINN at the 32nd Convergence India Expo, held in New Delhi, India from 19 to 21 March 2025. # ⚓ APNIC ☛ Event_Wrap:_IETF_122⠀⇛ Geoff Huston presented on 'Measuring ECN' at IETF 122, held in Bangkok, Thailand from 15 to 21 March 2025. # ⚓ Internet Society ☛ Article_19_of_the_Marco_Civil_– Guarantee_or_Threat_to_the_Future_of_the_Brazilian Internet?⠀⇛ Editor’s note: This post was originally published on 6 April 2025 in JOTA Jornalismo.

The practice of writing software by describing the problem to an AI large language model and using the code it generates. It’s not quite as simple as just letting the AI do your work for you because the developer is supposed to spend time honing and testing the result, and its proponents claim it gives a much more interactive and less tedious coding experience.

And more to come.” It was an understated moment from a man who had been in prison for close to 16 years for a murder that officials said he didn’t commit. And it provided a stark contrast to the reality television show that depicted the investigation that led to his arrest. Barrientos-Quintana was freed after the Minnesota attorney general’s Conviction Review Unit found he had been wrongfully convicted and recommended vacating his conviction. The unit’s 180-page report cited failures by police, prosecutors and Barrientos-Quintana’s own defense lawyers. But it also mentioned something reporter Jessica Lussenhop had never seen before in a wrongful conviction case: the involvement of popular true crime show “The First 48.” The show begins each episode with the premise that the chance of solving a murder is “cut in half” if police don’t have a significant lead within 48 hours of a killing — which also creates a sense of deadline pressure. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Stanford University ☛ Poem:_Justice_for_the_Other⠀⇛ Standing by those we are told to hate — the Other — is the fundamental lesson of history that we must never forget, Strawser writes. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ John Goerzen ☛ John_Goerzen:_Announcing_the_NNCPNET_Email Network⠀⇛ From 1995 to 2019, I ran my own mail server. It began with a UUCP link, an expensive long-distance call for me then. Later, I ran a mail server in my apartment, then ran it as a VPS at various places. But running an email server got difficult. You can’t just run it on a residential IP. Now there’s SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and TLS to worry about. I recently reviewed_mail_hosting_services, and don’t get me wrong: I still use one, and probably will, because things like email from my bank are critical. # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Local_versus_remote_RSS_readers⠀⇛ For years I ran a few different server-side RSS readers including Miniflux, FreshRSS, and a horrible pile of Perl I wrote that Did The Job™ for me.
