Hours ago someone said that "Dallas Relo Packages Delayed until June!" To quote: "IBM Dallas is closing. Relo[cation] packages to Austin were promised no later than 5/15. Today it was announced it will be June! Rumor is that no severance or relo[cation] will actually be offered for Austin. Yikes!" We've long said, based on what we read, that "relocation" is a trap. First, it causes many people to resign; second, those who do relocate soon afterwards lose their job (after PIP or not) or have their seniority reset, which can impact severance calculations. Also see: Anyone_know_when_we_will_be_notified_if_we_must_relocate_due_to_RTO?

Rumors of such a closure have been circulating for some time, with Microsoft Advertising contacting media buyers earlier Wednesday (May 14), informing them of the planned sunsetting of the DSP, according to two sources familiar with the developments. One source, who asked not to be named in order to maintain relationships, said the closure of the Xandr DSP would involve multiple layoffs, with those impacted being informed on the day of the announcement. When asked to comment, Microsoft spokespeople pointed to a company blog post. They did not immediately respond when asked for clarity on the extent of the layoffs. Last month Microsoft shut down its "AI Lab" [1, 2] and that's not_stopping there. Merely rebranding everything as "AI" might con_shareholders, but it's not a long-term strategy. █ * Links_15/05/2025:_Crikvenica,_Analog_Computer,_and_Slop_'Hallucinations' * Over_at_Tux_Machines... ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 224 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/05/15/Bing_Might_Shut_Down_Just_Like_Skype_Did_Some_Time_in_the_Comin.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/05/15/Bing_Might_Shut_Down_Just_Like_Skype_Did_Some_Time_in_the_Comin.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Bing Might Shut Down - Just Like Skype Did - Some Time in the Coming Months/Years (Parts of It Already Shut Down)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 15, 2025, updated May 15, 2025 This month's data (published for the previous month on week 2 of every month): 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇bing.com_Traffic⦈_ At risk of repeating ourselves: 1) Bing is not gaining, in many ways it is shrinking; 2) chatbots or "Bing Chat" or whatever (they did a rebrand/ing each time it failed) didn't fix (1) and 3) Bing is financially problematic, it already has mass layoffs, and there's no turnaround foreseen because even Yandex will soon surpass it in market share. So Bing is basically a "dead-man-walking", just_like_Skype_was. It's a money furnace, not a mere stalemate. This week, as_the_axes_drop, we learn that "Microsoft_Cuts_Off_Access_to_Bing_Search_Data" and the go-to excuse is 'hey hi' (which also_experiences_cuts). To quote: Microsoft quietly announced earlier this week that it plans to shut down a long-standing tool supplying search engine startups and other software developers with a raw feed of Bing search results. The Bing Search APIs, or application programming interfaces, were once vital to many niche Google alternatives, but fell out of favor more recently as Microsoft hiked fees for the service and restricted its use. They will not shut down Bing overnight; they try to bring the losses under control. Having just run a random search in Bing, I see that for a query that returns/yields no results they only serve me with a large ad (despite me blocking ads). As noted_this_morning, "Microsoft Advertising is closing its demand-side platform", so one can link the failure of Bing to the failure of the ad business. █ * Your_Real_Ally_Would_Not_Defend_the_Company_of_SLAPP_and_Strangling_of Women * Links_15/05/2025:_KOSA_Censorship_(USA_Becomes_More_Like_KSA)_and_More National_Cuts ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡟⢟⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⡛⠻⠿⠟⠛⠿⢿⠛⣿⠛⡻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢻⡟⠿⠿⠿⠻⡿⠿⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⣴⣿⣄⣨⣮⣦⣤⣧⣼⣧⣼⣤⣾⣤⣮⣾⣤⣼⣬⣥⣄⣨⣤⣀⣦⣦⣼⣤⣤⣧⣼⣵⣦⣧⣤⣼⣼⣴⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣟⣈⣉⣙⣩⣭⣭⣭⣍⣨⣌⣉⣤⣩⣈⣩⣩⣈⣝⣉⣍⣩⣉⣀⣉⣇⣔⣠⣀⣏⣍⣩⣉⣉⣍⣁⣍⣹⣉⣁⣯⣍⣽⣄⣹⣨⣉⣭⣁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⣦⣤⣴⣧⣭⣤⣁⣌⣠⣥⣥⣤⣼⣤⣤⣭⣤⣥⣷⣤⣁⣥⣬⣤⣧⣽⣤⣬⣠⣬⣥⣤⣷⣬⣥⣤⣤⣧⣥⣴⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢁⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡀⠀⠉⠀⠁⠈⠁⠘⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠈⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠈⠈⠉⠀⠀⠃⠉⠉⠈⠉⠘⠈⠀⠀⠈⠈⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠁⠁⠀⠉⠃⠁⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⢹⡿⢿⢿⠿⢿⡿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⡿⣿⡿⣿⢿⡿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⢿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⡿⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⢸⣟⠲⠒⢲⣶⣶⣾⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣷⣷⠒⡷⡲⠒⣶⣶⣷⣶⣴⣶⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⡒⡖⡒⠒⣶⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⠒⡦⠒⢢⣶⣾⣶⣶⣷⣴⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣸⣿⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⣿⣿⣶⣾⣾⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡻⣭⣿⣽⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣷⣿⣯⣿⣞⣻⣯⢿⣟⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣼⣴⣤⣤⣼⣥⣤⣼⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣷⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣬⣤⠐⠀⠀⠤⠧⠤⠄ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 301 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/05/15/Breakdown_of_Microsoft_Layoffs_Shows_It_s_About_Cost_Not_Perfor.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/05/15/Breakdown_of_Microsoft_Layoffs_Shows_It_s_About_Cost_Not_Perfor.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Breakdown of Microsoft Layoffs Shows It's About Cost, Not Performance or Hype (Like "AI")⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 15, 2025 Usefully_enough, Bloomberg surveyed* the sorts of roles impacted and for Washington_alone (not complete numbers) it looks a bit like this: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Breakdown_of_Microsoft_Layoffs⦈_ MSN (Microsoft) reposted this with some unnecessary_spin.

We said that explicitly several times back in 2023. To follow the sister site, given how often it gets updated (47 new pages yesterday alone), we suggest adding this_RSS_feed to an RSS reader. We coded several of our own RSS readers, but my wife still uses QuiteRSS and Thunderbird as RSS readers... alongside Roy_and_Rianne's_Righteously_Royalty-free_RSS Reader_(R.R.R.R.R.R.) - her main means for curating news. Last week we added this_new_page_for_original_articles. Ever since then we've increased the frequency of "originals". For instance, I've just published this article_about_GNU/Linux_in_BRICS. There are already many_articles_in_this_site, but only recently we saw a lot of them going viral, probably because Microsoft insiders want to know more about the mass layoffs. This month around 40 new articles are clocked at over 1k (proper views), so it may remind a self-flattering person of Groklaw, which came back online some weeks ago. One motto at Groklaw used to say that Groklaw is the place you turn to when you want to know more, and (or but) don't know where to look. This site covers topics no other sites cover (or in a way no other sites would, covering hidden/suppressed angles too), but that makes it more attractive to information takedown attempts including_SLAPPs and extortion-type_attacks_on the_Webhosts. The sister site too got_targeted_by_SLAPPs. So far we're successfully_protecting_the_facts. There's nothing for us to worry about; the ones who worry right now are the SLAPPers (by year's end the Microsoft "pests" might be found guilty of harassment in the UK's High Court [1, 2]). █ * Gemini_Links_15/05/2025:_Forced_Music_in_Publicly_Accessible_Space_and ~silv_is_Online * Richard_Stallman_Still_Respected_by_Many_in_the_Libre_Graphics_Community ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⢛⣛⣛⡻ ⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⠠⢤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣤⠀⠀⠀⣠⡄⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿ ⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠈⠃⠠⣟⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣷⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠆⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠻⠿⣿⠿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠄⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣀⣠⣴⣾⣿⢏⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠐⠕⡂⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠍⠛⠉⠉⠁⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⡿⣛⡭⠴⠖⠛⠉⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠐⡿⠯⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⢀⠄⣠⣤⣤⡶⠂⠀⠀⠀⠾⢿⡿⠿⣷⣿⡿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡔⠁⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣯⢗⣾⣿⠋⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡴⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡐⣩⣠⣿⡿⠁⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢤⣾⡇⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡞⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⢾⣵⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⡿⠆⠀⠐⣚⣛⣃⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣠⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣘⣛⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣴⣿⣿⣿⡇⠰⠒⣂⣠⣤⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣉⣹⣿⣿⣄⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠻⢿⡉⠉⠉⣿⣀⡀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠋⢉⣉⣉⣤⣤⡼⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠆⠀⠈⣶⣶⣶⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠋⣉⣉⣉⣀⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣰⡏⠛⠛⣛⡛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢛⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⢠⡟⢳⡀⠀⠀⣀⠤⠿⠿⠛⣛ ⠀⠀⠀⠉⠋⠀⠠⠁⠠⠤⠤⠤⠤⠽⠿⠿⠿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⠒⠀⠀⠀⢽⣅⣽⡇⠀⣐⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⠀⡀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⡿⠿⠿⠟⠒⠂⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠋⠀⠀⠚⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿ ⡿⠿⠇⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⠡⠈⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿ ⡀⠠⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣡⣾⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣄⣀⣤⣤⣤⣶⣷⣾⣷⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣐⣠⣄⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⢀⡀⣀⣀⣠⣲⣤⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 471 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/05/15/IRC_Proceedings_Wednesday_May_14_2025.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/05/15/IRC_Proceedings_Wednesday_May_14_2025.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IRC Proceedings: Wednesday, May 14, 2025⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 15, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Polish_aviation_museum._Krakow.⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇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.

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Can_confirm._August_will_be_more_a_lot_more_severe_than_this last_round_which_was_higher_than_reported_⦈_ The person who correctly said the date of the layoffs also said there would be multiple_waves of them. The "3%" figure is false [1, 2]. The company's debt has been_vast_for_years, hence the cuts, this_has_nothing_to_do_with_"performance" or_"AI". █ Update: There's this_new_comment which says: "It will come out soon, or maybe not. This is not 6,000 nor 7,000 it was closer to 11,000. Microsoft reports the 3% to their go to cnbc shill of a journalist and all media outlets follow. Now everyone is repeating the 3% when reality is 5%. This “is” larger than the previous layoffs and its being covered up." * Slopwatch:_Sloppy_Brian,_Brittany_Slop,_and_General_Observations *

Microsoft_Rumours:_This_Week's_Scale_of_Layoffs_"Higher_Than_Reported" and_More_Coming_Soon_("A_Lot_More_Severe"_Than_May's) Over the past 4 days we've checked WARN notices in California about 10 times, just in case LinkedIn, Microsoft or some other Microsoft entity shows up. Well, here they_go, 1 hour ago by Queenie Wong: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Microsoft_layoffs_hit_its_Silicon_Valley_workforce⦈_ Moments ago someone wrote about Microsoft layoffs: "It's over. Everyone who was let go has been notified. Now we just wait until the next one." From what we've seen, this wave was more than 3% (a lot more) and the next wave/s will be even bigger (possible as imminent as weeks from now), based on insider leaks. Earlier today I heard from insiders that the layoffs are very much real. There's anger because they tell staff the company does exceptionally well. Then they get sacked. Not because they lack skills or didn't work hard enough. "As usual," an associate notes, "there is always the question of where they turn up and the problems that causes as they cosplay IT people." In proprietary Microsoft formats in this_page we see: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Worker_Adjustment_and_Retraining_Notification_(WARN)⦈_ It's dated yesterday and does not (yet) include subsidiaries including LinkedIn, which has many layoffs [1, 2] as we pointed_out_earlier_on. More information will surface over time, refuting misleading spin and cover-up/ "damage control" [1, 2]. █ * Links_15/05/2025:_Google_Betrays_Publishers_Again,_Openwashing_by_Sysdig * next

We don't wish to repeat what was said and done. It would be pointless; it can embolden the "brigade". Instead, someone brought to our attention or kindly noted that the page has been amended and now says: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_following_sentence_mentioning_our_Code_of_Conduct_in this_announcement_could_be_interpreted_as_suggesting_we_believe_Richard Stallman’s_presence_would_make_the_event_less_safe._That_interpretation_is_not our_intention;_we_don’t_think_that_way._We_don’t_all_think_that_Stallman’s_talk would_have_been_a_problem._Some_of_us_wanted_to_hear_him._The_context_of_the discussion_linked_above_is_important_to_correctly_interpret_this_announcement and_the_reasons_that_led_to_it._Some_people_voiced_general_discomfort_about_the LGM_in_the_debate;_we_take_these_concerns_seriously.⦈_ I never saw Richard Stallman being or seeming dangerous in any way (I saw him interacting with people "IRL" several times in my life, it was banal); Can he be "weird"? Maybe. Well, everyone can be a little weird in some way... sometimes. It should be noted that similar smears were aimed by the same groups at Professor Moglen, as if a short and overweight man around retirement age is some sort of danger. Well, him being invited to speak to the European Parliament or US Congress or whatever is indeed very dangerous.... if_you_work for_a_company_like_Microsoft. Richard Stallman and Professor Moglen never harmed anyone, certainly not physically (hurt feelings are a subjective thing and both of them are US citizens, who exercise Free Speech rights and consistently_oppose_bigotry). █ * If_You_Read_Techrights,_Then_You_Probably_Want_to_Read_Tux_Machines_as Well * Links_15/05/2025:_Google_Betrays_Publishers_Again,_Openwashing_by_Sysdig ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⢿⠛⠀⢸⣿⠟⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⢸⣧⡀⢀⣿⣧⣼⣴⣽⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠙⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⡟⠁⠋⣿⣯⣭⣽⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⣠⣤⣤⡈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⠛⠛⠛⠻⣻⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣦⣴⣿⣿⡷⡷⡷⣾⡾⣿⢷⢷⣾⣿⡿⡧⣷⣾⢾⠷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⡿⠇⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡉⢉⣿⣇⣒⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣟⣟⣟⣿⣿⣟⣿⣻⣻⣻⣛⣿⣻⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⢸⣬⣬⡏⢡⣀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡁⠀⣿⣿⡿⣙⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣽⣿⣯⣿⣿⣽⣽⣯⣿⣯⣽⣻⣯⣿⣽⣽⣯⣿⣿⣽⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⢻⣿⠋⠁⠘⢻⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠻⣯⣍⣭⡽⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⢧⣿⣿⡷⡿⡿⣿⣷⣷⣿⡿⣿⣷⣿⡾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⢋⣾⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣅⠀⠀⠀⣬⣉⣉⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⢿⠃⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⡿⢿⢾⡿⡾⣾⣿⣿⢷⣿⣿⣟⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣟⣟⣿⣿⣻⣻⣛⣟⣟⣻⣿⣻⣛⣟⣿⣟⣿⣿⣛⣟⣿⣿ ⣿⡕⠉⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⣿⣿⣷⣶⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣽⣯⣿⣯⣯⡿⣿⣿⣽⣽⣽⣿⣽⣭⣿⣿⣾⣥⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⠇⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡨⣱⣽⣿⡿⣏⣊⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡾⣷⣷⣶⣷⣷⣿⣷⣿⣷⣿⣷⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠘⠀⠀⠀⣾⣷⠀⣰⣶⣿⣼⣾⣟⣽⣾⣿⣿⣦⢠⢰⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣯⣟⣿⣻⣿⣻⣻⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⢰⡿⠏⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣭⣯⣷⣿⣯⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣯⣿⣽⣽⣭⣿⣭⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⣾⡏⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⢠⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣿⣿⣶⣶⣾⣷⣷⣿⣾⣿⣷⣷⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⢰⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡉⢳⠀⠀⢈⡞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⢀⣿⣿⠃⠠⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠈⠃⠀⠀⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⣿⣿⣿⢟⡻⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⢿⣿ ⣿⠀⢸⣿⣏⠀⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⡇⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣯⣾⣿⣽⣧⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣼⣿ ⣿⠀⢸⣿⡟⠀⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣧⣯⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⢸⣿⠃⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠶⠖⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⢆⣅⣐⣰⣰⣀⢾⣇⣧⣉⣹⣷⣉⣀⣙⣝⣩⣬⡉⢻⣏⣉⣉⣿⣏⣉⣏⣋⣉⣏⣹⣉⣉⣿⣣⣉⣹⣭⣍⠙⣿⣋⣙⣹⣗⣒⣋⣉⣍⣿⣉⣹⣕⣊⣫⣍⣙⣝⣉⣉⣿⣹⣽⣀⣏⣛⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⠿⡿⡿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⢿⠟⡿⡿⡿⡿⠿⣟⡟⠿⢿⠿⣿⠻⠿⡿⠿⡿⠟⠿⠿⢻⠿⠿⣿⠿⡿⢿⢿⠿⠿⢿⡻⠿⢿⣿⡿⠿⢿⢻⠿⠟⠿⠿⠿⢿⡿⠻⢿⢻⡿⠿⢿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⠶⣷⣾⠷⣶⣶⣿⣶⢶⣾⣷⣶⣾⣷⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣾⣶⡿⣶⣶⣷⡶⣷⣶⣶⣷⣾⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣤⣥⣴⣶⣾⣶⣷⣤⢿⣶⡷⠾⢶⣷⣶⡶⣾⣶⣾⣾⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣂⣀⣸⣴⣄⣞⣈⣄⣆⣾⣂⣰⣀⣀⣀⣰⣕⣂⣸⣤⣡⣢⣈⣉⣲⣷⣐⣁⣁⣂⣸⣐⣆⣀⣏⣠⣡⣨⣄⣰⣯⣨⣀⣀⣇⣀⣰⣆⣘⣿⣸⣄⣀⣖⣇⣰⣖⣀⣱⢐⣱⣀⣔⣀⣖⣆⣂⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡛⢻⡛⢟⠋⡟⡛⠛⢟⡏⠛⢋⠛⢛⡋⠙⡛⡛⣿⡿⠛⠛⡟⡋⠛⢛⢫⢹⢛⡙⠙⡛⠙⡏⣛⠛⠛⣻⠛⠛⢛⢟⣿⢉⠯⢛⣟⠙⡻⡛⣍⡟⠻⢿⣛⡙⠙⣻⢻⣏⢙⠛⣋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠷⣿⣷⠷⣷⣿⣾⣶⢾⣿⢶⣷⣾⣾⣷⣾⣾⣷⣾⢷⢾⣶⣿⣾⣶⢾⣾⣾⣿⣷⣶⣿⣷⣷⣾⢶⣾⣾⣾⣷⣮⠾⣿⣿⣾⣾⣷⣾⢾⣷⣷⣷⣶⣾⣿⣷⢾⣿⡿⡷⣷⣷⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣯⣤⣬⣵⣾⣦⣯⣥⣦⣥⣼⣤⣼⣤⣿⣤⣦⣤⣭⣭⣼⣬⣭⣮⣦⣼⣬⣤⣦⣤⣼⣭⣿⣥⣤⣥⣬⣤⣼⣦⣿⣿⣤⣬⣼⣤⣤⣿⣥⣼⣬⣥⣼⣤⣤⣤⣿⣤⣤⣥⣧⣬⣿⣧⣤⣭⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡍⣈⢩⣿⡗⡆⣝⢙⡯⠝⢝⡝⠙⠹⣫⢽⠩⣥⡯⠨⡋⣻⠅⠈⠙⢝⠏⠉⠉⠘⢝⡍⡇⣌⠍⠛⢙⠅⡟⠙⢝⠩⡙⠋⣿⠎⣿⣮⠩⠯⡫⠍⡍⠋⣯⠉⣯⠭⢹⠩⠫⣫⢩⠉⠭⠩⡜⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⠟⠿⡿⠿⡿⠿⠿⡿⠻⢿⢿⡿⡿⠿⢿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⢻⠿⠿⡿⢻⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠟⠿⠿⢿⠻⠿⢾⠿⠿⡟⠿⣿⢛⠿⠿⠿⡿⢿⠿⠿⡿⠿⢿⡾⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣼⣦⣦⣿⣬⣾⣤⣼⣯⣼⣼⣼⣦⣿⣤⣷⣵⣤⣼⣮⣦⣤⣿⣤⣤⣿⣽⣤⣼⣮⣼⣬⣧⣤⣧⣧⣦⣬⣴⣵⣦⣥⣿⣽⣤⣼⣿⣦⣦⣽⣯⣵⣧⣼⣿⣥⣮⣾⣼⣦⣾⣵⣦⣮⣦⣥⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣫⣏⣈⣉⣏⣇⡏⢉⣽⣍⣉⣹⣍⣸⣉⣛⣏⣍⣉⣹⣍⣈⣏⣍⣿⣍⣘⣹⣉⣉⣿⣄⣍⣯⣗⣇⣄⣜⣸⣋⣿⣇⣸⣩⣽⣉⣹⣫⣉⣉⣏⡉⣏⣙⣹⣽⣈⣉⣙⣭⣇⣸⣫⣉⣉⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣻⡛⢟⢟⠟⠛⣛⠛⢻⠟⠟⢟⠹⡻⡟⠛⠹⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣾⣶⣶⣾⣶⣾⣶⣶⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿ ⣿⣿⣶⠶⡶⡶⡶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⢶⣶⡶⡶⣶⣶⢶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⢶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⢶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⢶⠶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧ ⣿⣿⣛⣝⣥⣡⣇⣆⣧⣢⣢⣰⣦⣆⣾⣖⣠⣨⣂⣧⣖⣼⣀⣄⣿⣆⣐⣯⣺⣆⣇⣰⣔⣦⣃⣂⣠⣤⣸⣕⣷⣠⣺⣇⣅⣀⣄⣷⣡⣰⣆⣜⣅⣾⣠⣺⣾⣰⣮⣠⣰⣦⣢⣄⣷⣂⣧⣢⣾⣀⣮⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⢿⡟⠛⡟⢻⠙⢙⠛⡿⠋⣻⠻⠛⢻⠟⠛⢻⡛⢻⡟⠛⢻⣿⠟⢻⡟⠛⡟⠏⡟⡻⠛⣿⠛⠙⢻⡟⠋⡏⣟⢿⡿⢹⠛⢻⠟⠛⢻⡛⢻⡟⠋⢻⡛⠛⢻⡿⠛⡏⠻⢻⠛⠛⣿⠛⢙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⢿⢿⠿⢿⠿⡿⡿⢻⠻⢿⣿⢿⡿⠿⣟⣻⢿⠟⡿⣿⢿⢻⢟⠷⢿⢿⠿⢿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣥⣬⣯⣼⣧⣤⣮⣼⣬⣢⣧⣵⣥⣼⣯⣥⣵⣥⣤⣷⣥⣼⣮⣥⣵⣿⣭⣬⣮⣥⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣏⣩⣥⣁⣁⣃⣃⣪⣄⣁⣁⣇⣄⣑⣁⣃⣹⣑⣁⣷⣂⣎⣀⣧⣃⣥⠑⢀⣈⣆⣐⣘⣈⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣯⢹⣟⠛⢻⠛⠟⣻⣟⠛⠻⡛⠋⢛⢟⢻⠛⡛⢛⣟⠛⢛⢛⠛⢻⠛⢛⢟⠋⠋⢛⢛⣿⠛⡟⡛⡛⠛⠛⢛⢛⠛⠛⣛⠟⠛⣻⡻⢛⡋⢙⣿⡛⡛⣻⣟⠛⠻⡛⡟⢹⣛⢙⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣾⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣷⣿⣾⣾⣷⣷⣷⣿⣷⣿⣶⣾⣿⣷⣾⣾⣷⣶⣾⣾⣶⣷⣷⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣥⣤⣥⣤⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⡿⠟⠛⠙⢹⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1435 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/05/15/Slopwatch_Sloppy_Brian_Brittany_Slop_and_General_Observations.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/05/15/Slopwatch_Sloppy_Brian_Brittany_Slop_and_General_Observations.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Slopwatch: Sloppy Brian, Brittany Slop, and General Observations⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 15, 2025, updated May 15, 2025 Since we've criticised some sites (especially those that habitually cover "Linux") for "pivoting to slop" we can see they improve a bit by no longer publishing LLM slop, but we keep them under regular observation and won't name them right now. The general aim here (in "Slopwatch" and beyond) is to discourage this sort of "pivot", which may_seem_seductive but is in fact very destructive and regrettable. Yesterday we saw sloppy_Brian slopping away at existing_articles to make this "post" (ad with slop) in BetaNoise: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇NordVPN_finally_gets_a_proper_GUI_on_Linux⦈_ LLP slop, as usual: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇So,_what_exactly_does_this_mean?_Well,_instead_of_typing_in commands,_users_can_now_click_their_way_through_connection_options,_settings, and_even_theme_preferences_like_light_or_dark_mode._This_will_arguably_make using_the_service_on_Linux_much_easier.⦈_ Another Serial Slopper (SS), Day, did the same a pair of slopfarms did a day earlier (covered in the last Slopwatch). They all googlebomb "PFire 2.29" with fake articles: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇IPFire_2.29_--_Core_Update_194:_Security_Improvements⦈_ Yes, of course it's not a real article. Neither is this one: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Emerging_ClickFix_Attacks_Are_Now_Targeting_Linux_Systems⦈_ There are some real articles about it (we linked to 3 yesterday), but this is not one of those. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇So_what_makes_this_different?_It’s_not_just_that_APT36_is expanding_its_scope⦈_ If the slopfarms and SS-frenzy can be "contained" (repeat offenders being in only a few sites), then Slopwatch has a positive effect. They do pay attention to it [1, 2, 3] because nobody (site or person) wants to be called a "cheater" or "plagiarist". Creative people don't need slop; there's just nothing good about it, slop appeals to lazy people careless about quality. █ * Over_at_Tux_Machines... *

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇You_must_not_mention_what_happened_vs_Pro_bono⦈_ This sort of observation typically results in action that "disproves" the observation (reactionary PR or "reputation_management"). It's about a law firm that's not_financially_potent (but the Microsofters wanted something cheap [1, 2]). Well, the moment we mentioned that their media lawyer is leaving (or got pushed out) they went all quiet in social control media (to be clear, it's not a holiday or anything; they've said nothing in a week in_Facebook and Twitter/X) and maybe in order to make a point they'll soon try to "prove us wrong" by posting something. It's_like_OSI, which did this several times when there were scandals. The tables turned and their client got sued [1, 2] by the people he had abused. He will need to work even harder to pay_us_damages while the law firm ("limited liability") will try to avoid accountability for an_abusive SLAPPing_expedition_gone_awry (and likely illegal, too; this_letter_they_sent me_in_February is self-incriminating, so they tried to keep it secret, "Private & Confidential"). █ * At_IBM,_Relocation_Can_be_a_Trick_or_a_Trap_(IBM_Gets_Rid_of_Staff_Under the_Guise_of_"Relo") * Breakdown_of_Microsoft_Layoffs_Shows_It's_About_Cost,_Not_Performance_or Hype_(Like_"AI") ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠻⣛⣫⣭⣉⣉⡙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣩⢏⠋⣙⣋⠩⣭⣩⣹⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⢟⣙⣹⣭⣤⣶⣾⣾⣿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠻⣿⣾⣎⡹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣔⡄⠀⡉⠃⠙⠙⠙⢩⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣷⣾⣮⣬⣭⣽ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣟⣛⣉⣦⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⣀⣤⣾⣷⡄⠈⣿⣿⣷⡘⣛⠻⢗⣵⣾⡿⠋⠁⠀⠐⠞⠀⠀⠐⠻⣧⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢏⣵⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⢻⢩⣿⡀⠸⣿⣿⣿⡃⠀⣿⣿⣿⣧⢰⣾⣿⣿⠯⠔⣢⣴⣯⠀⠀⢰⠂⠀⡈⠩⡑⠤⠐⠚⠑⠩⠱⢃⡨⢍⢟⡛⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠟⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⢻⢻⡏⠃⢡⢳⢓⠌⣇⣿⣷⢄⡀⠤⢻⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡜⣿⣿⣷⣦⣼⠿⣏⠋⠀⠁⠁⠀⢌⠤⠈⠠⢬⣰⣤⣭⣼⢒⣶⡒⠯⣴⡉⣒⣑⣙⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡯⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡃⡇⢇⣎⢎⣿⣴⣷⣶⣞⢻⢋⢦⢃⡁⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢻⣿⣿⠟⢩⢨⠔⡠⠐⠥⠄⠄⢖⠻⢖⢚⡻⡔⡿⠿⢕⣳⢾⠙⣏⣨⣋⣚⣹⠯⢥⣶⢻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠿⡖⣻⡏⢏⢡⢛⡨⡸⣜⣎⣬⣼⡾⢚⡏⡝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⣾⡿⡃⣃⡀⠀⢀⡒⠂⡌⠎⠞⠾⠏⡥⣬⣀⢌⢩⣽⣷⣽⣭⢧⣍⣯⢽⠚⠑⢪⣝⡒⡂⠃⣝⡻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡙⠰⢹⢸⡸⣿⣠⣧⣶⢶⢛⢋⠍⡔⣣⢅⠃⢾⣑⣽⣿⣿⣿⠟⢃⣾⡿⠃⠀⡀⠀⠀⠄⠘⣀⣀⣀⡀⠠⠠⢍⡅⠚⣿⣧⣯⣥⡄⣞⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⡗⢬⡭⡚⣉⠚⠂⣋⣃⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣧⡷⡞⢟⢩⣷⢙⡸⢈⢃⣾⣼⣷⣵⣾⣿⣿⡿⠿⣛⣉⣤⣾⣿⣿⠿⢠⣤⠒⠃⣥⣀⡀⢍⠰⠔⠀⠐⠀⠀⠉⠈⠑⣽⢿⣵⣿⠿⢶⢤⣫⣭⠮⢿⡺⠖⣣⢤⣒⣃⣍⠩⢆⣭⡍⢽⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⡘⣿⣿⣿⡽⠙⢠⢣⢁⣊⣇⣿⣧⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⠿⢟⢛⣍⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠅⠊⠐⠂⢀⢄⠤⡀⠁⠐⠀⠀⠀⢀⡘⠁⠀⢘⣻⣽⡟⡛⡟⠟⢹⣙⡋⡿⡧⣍⡞⠶⢂⣼⡇⡅⡅⠛⣆⡐⣞⣋⣉⢻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡨⢻⣿⣿⣼⣼⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢛⣛⣉⣥⣴⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠧⠩⡊⠤⠲⠀⠆⣆⠤⠰⣄⡨⢎⠀⠀⠈⢸⣉⠇⢚⣋⣩⣐⡃⣷⢾⣯⣌⣷⣻⠾⢋⡟⣧⢩⣲⡦⢾⣦⣑⣿⣯⡭⢩⣽⣶ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣧⣍⣹⣟⣛⣻⣭⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠰⡡⡀⠈⡘⠈⢀⠈⠀⣮⢅⢀⡀⡼⠁⠶⠂⢴⠕⠉⢐⣶⠿⠓⢐⠾⣭⡴⣿⡛⣘⣛⠛⢻⡳⣶⣏⡭⣿⣿⡦⣶⣟⠃⣰⢬ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⠄⠤⠂⢀⡉⠀⠈⠈⠀⠂⡐⢐⢉⠳⠴⡄⠴⣡⣂⡊⢷⣾⡿⢘⡻⠿⣯⣽⡶⢞⢲⠰⠞⣟⣉⠼⢻⢿⣴⠞⣛⡻⣿⡾⣓⣛ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⠁⠂⠀⠰⠨⠄⢁⢇⣨⡖⠿⠛⠋⠜⢺⣷⠇⣂⠂⣉⡡⢴⣶⣻⠿⠿⣿⡷⣽⣶⡾⡻⡿⣷⠶⠾⠯⠟⢙⢾⣶⡐⠯⡮⢼⢶⡻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠁⠮⠭⠈⠁⡈⣔⢒⣨⣨⠒⠀⠀⠄⡤⣄⠐⡰⡒⡴⠒⡠⣰⣿⣗⣟⢿⣿⣿⣵⣿⡥⠞⠛⠐⠗⡔⣭⠅⣯⣿⣬⣷⣿⢆⣴⠰⠤⠴ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⡘⠢⠂⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⡠⠄⠃⢉⠐⠛⠋⠀⢚⠋⡴⣽⣟⡵⠿⣷⣮⡿⣉⣷⠾⣟⡷⢿⡶⣶⢼⣏⢽⣛⣭⣕⣊⢋⣫⣜⠛ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠖⠘⠀⠀⠀⡤⠄⣘⣇⢃⡹⠀⢠⣲⡔⠁⠻⠛⠸⢣⡠⡕⠦⢆⣻⠽⣫⠛⢇⣶⣻⠯⡃⣴⣻⣍⢷⣾⣾⣤⣀⠊⢋⠸⣼⣛⣭⡟⣿⣾ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣃⡀⡁⠈⠐⢀⠄⠀⡡⡀⠀⠈⠞⣲⣦⣶⢀⡨⡵⣠⠄⠀⢴⠼⢪⠑⣛⠃⠈⢥⣿⣶⡖⢻⠧⠿⢻⡭⡹⣿⣐⢦⣻⠿⣃⣲⣬⣌⣃⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⡉⠐⠃⠇⡁⠀⠡⠠⠄⡱⠦⠏⠛⠀⢠⡀⡉⡖⢵⣮⠄⡈⠳⣞⢙⣈⠱⡫⣶⢋⣯⣙⠿⣿⡿⣹⣵⡹⢹⣌⣭⡍⣿⠟⣋⣈⠀⡐⣦⣲⡿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢩⣭⣷⣶⠶⡶⡲⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠃⠸⠲⠖⠀⢀⣀⠲⠎⠓⠡⠠⢎⣄⣀⠉⠙⠻⢏⠵⣢⠌⠓⠛⣉⠥⢴⢋⡵⠧⡔⣯⡑⢾⡮⡕⡆⠲⠼⣈⣠⣦⣤⠷⣷⣿⣿⡷⢛⡍⠗⢾ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⣿⣧⢣⡨⢢⣃⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡀⠂⠇⠀⠁⡤⡈⠀⠁⠐⠴⠶⠆⠀⠈⠁⣈⣏⣘⣖⣐⢫⠶⣴⠠⢌⣙⣆⣶⣦⢩⡕⣍⣭⠐⠟⠴⢭⠐⠆⠶⠾⡒⣺⠿⢝⣿⣿⡧⣽⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⡿⡺⢻⠋⠟⢱⢹⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠈⠋⢖⠄⠀⠁⠁⠀⡂⠥⡀⠁⢀⡓⠂⢈⣴⣿⣬⡵⡟⡚⠁⠀⠈⢟⡕⠻⢋⠉⠀⠀⢩⡐⠶⠶⠻⢊⢾⣷⢧⠀⠈⠀⢱⡏⣶⢏⣷⡧⠾⢟⢩ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢧⣂⣜⣼⣵⣷⡾⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡏⢔⡀⠐⠀⢠⠀⡆⣚⠇⠀⢀⣀⣀⠈⠁⠨⠀⣤⣬⠑⣊⢠⢞⣭⢠⡄⣍⡟⣡⣤⢄⢂⣀⣁⠀⠰⢟⣟⡅⣉⡙⠵⠆⠴⣼⣿⢉⡻⠿⠂⢨⣝⣛⡮ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡜⢟⣫⣭⡀⢶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠶⢠⠀⠀⠀⠰⠐⣧⠈⠉⠀⠀⠈⠈⠃⠀⠤⠠⣡⢡⢤⡆⠈⢶⣽⠲⠮⠴⣿⣷⣂⣌⠸⣈⡩⠬⡗⡳⣼⠃⣽⢚⢻⠡⣤⡚⠢⢞⡭⢻⣷⣮⣬⣷⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⢀⢻⣧⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⡂⣠⠀⢀⠀⠐⠀⠈⠤⣆⢤⠄⢀⠀⠠⠆⠗⠛⠓⠀⡉⢀⠠⡥⠀⠁⠀⠒⡐⡌⢩⣭⢦⣾⠸⠼⢹⡇⡦⢨⣶⣿⣼⣾⠿⡊⣐⣴⡿⣶⣞⠛⠫⡥⡞⠿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡌⣃⡻⡆⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣃⡈⠌⠙⠌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡰⠈⠀⠠⠀⠤⠶⢶⢠⣤⠐⠈⠠⢴⡾⣧⢠⡐⠽⡽⢓⣐⣌⣫⡌⠂⠼⠓⣻⡶⠖⣊⣯⢿⡿⢀⣓⣘⠹⢷⣿⣿⣷⠬⡧⣥⣤⣾⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡈⠩⣶⢡⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⡃⠠⠠⢀⢄⡶⣤⢀⠎⠸⠊⠁⠁⠟⠀⠀⡒⢰⡶⠀⢡⣔⠾⣜⣴⠂⠻⠆⠠⢂⣣⣤⠐⢰⡨⠿⣒⡎⠢⠦⣺⣯⢹⣏⣯⢷⡾⣿⢓⣾⠉⢁⣈⣴⣿⠕⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠁⢹⣿⣿⣟⠛⠛⠚⠁⢀⣀⢀⠀⠄⠈⠀⠠⠂⠂⡀⠀⠂⢺⢅⠀⠂⣃⡀⡀⠛⣑⣬⢀⣤⡲⠶⠆⠈⠄⡀⠀⠇⠠⠯⣻⣮⣁⣨⡽⡠⢟⣃⣤⣄⡼⣊⢬⣈⠓⢽⡾⢿⣶⡶⣿⢿⣿⣿ ⣟⣻⢹⣤⣬⣩⣛⡛⣛⠀⠣⣻⣿⡻⠛⠈⠈⠨⠛⠌⠁⠙⢐⡃⠀⠄⣀⡀⠘⠰⠇⣠⣤⣄⡐⢘⢃⡃⠣⠆⢍⠳⠗⢴⣴⣄⣀⢠⠦⠼⠷⢇⠙⣿⣯⡍⢷⡶⡟⠵⠾⣡⣨⣉⣤⠀⢊⢥⣤⣥⠰⠁⠢⣨⡴⣸⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1705 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/05/15/Your_Real_Ally_Would_Not_Defend_the_Company_of_SLAPP_and_Strang.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/05/15/Your_Real_Ally_Would_Not_Defend_the_Company_of_SLAPP_and_Strang.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Your Real Ally Would Not Defend the Company of SLAPP and Strangling of Women⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 15, 2025 2020 Warning: Microsoft_Tim_and_Microsoft's_New_Mole_Inside_'Linux'_Foundation Board_(a_Paid-For_Seat)_Liaise_to_Outsource_Linux_Development_to_Microsoft's Proprietary_Software_Trap In case you live under a rock somewhere, Firefox and Ubuntu have both been outsourced to Microsoft [1,2, 3] (lots more about this in IRC, we'll spare the finer details for now). How many moles did this take to accomplish? But then there's also ZDNet, which keeps defaming_the_founder_of_GNU/Linux_(Richard Stallman), defending_software_patents, and hours ago there was this: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Believe_it_or_not,_Microsoft_just_announced_a_Linux distribution_service_-_here's_why⦈_ I used to speak a lot to this author. But we stopped talking the moment he became a shill for the Linux_Foundation with its primary sponsors [1, 2]. He got compromised by his paymasters, which pay him with "access", not just salaries.

The first few levels in that demo were promising enough to get me to wishlist the game. CATO is in a corner of the puzzle game genre I like to call "single-player co-op" since you control two characters at the same time. The cat can run and climb but can't jump, while the toast can jump sideways and up walls but is helpless on ice. When the two are assembled together, their abilities are combined and they also gain infinite jumps. Almost all puzzles in the game involve splitting up and reassembling at the right times. There's also a basic plot about running out of milk and going out to get more. For a puzzle game, that's enough of an excuse to get the game started. Story is obviously not the reason a puzzle game fan would play this. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ What_I'm_playing_🐈🍞_CATO_|_cat_+_toast_=_puzzles⠀⇛ I finally got around to setting up a gemlog!

I contacted her, said something stupid, then regretted it. She didn't reply. I felt shitty. I deleted her contact from my phone, and I don't have an easy way to find her contact again. That should help with the no-contact idea. I smoked a lot today. I feel like shit. I can't really watch video or movies anymore. At this point it's a bit of a waiting game.

A man identifying himself as a federal immigration agent contacted a Venezuelan father in San Antonio, interrogating him about his teenage son. The agent said officials planned to visit the family’s apartment to assess the boy’s living conditions. Later that day, federal agents descended on his complex and covered the door’s peephole with black tape, the father recalled. Agents repeatedly yelled the father’s and son’s names, demanded they open the door and waited hours before leaving, according to the family.

It includes a dedicated task force and the use of AI and other data analytic tools to review the public social media accounts of tens of thousands of student visa holders. Though the full scope remains unclear, current reports indicate that the administration is surveilling for “pro-Hamas” sentiment, “antisemitic activity,” or even just “conduct that bears a hostile attitude toward U.S. citizens or U.S. culture.” At the time of publishing of this blog post, the federal government has already revoked over 1600 student visas for a variety of reasons. This social media surveillance program is an alarming attack on freedom of speech and privacy—for both visa holders here in the United States and their American associates. # ⚓ Alex Ewerlöf ☛ Staff_archetypes_are_anti-patterns⠀⇛ I used those archetypes a lot when I was a new Staff Engineer. I have used it as a reference hundreds of times and shared it with tens of thousands of people.

In response, tuition-free models are becoming more common – not just as a financial aid solution but also as a strategic marketing tool to stay competitive and attract students. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Andrea Contino ☛ Did_I_just_sell_a_passion?⠀⇛ Have I sold off a passion? Does letting go of a camera I loved—and still love—make me less of a photographer? I’m not sure. The fact that anyone, anywhere in the world, has the chance to take a life-changing photo gives me hope. But it also makes me think about how the quality of so many of our passions has dropped, just like the quality of a good photo. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ The_EPA_Is_Giving_Some_Forever_Chemicals_a_Pass⠀⇛ Last year, the Biden administration released a long-awaited rule setting limits on forever chemicals in municipal drinking water systems. This rule not only mandated low levels for two of the most-studied forever chemicals, PFOA and PFOS, but for four other chemicals that have been linked to a variety of adverse health effects. In addition to removing those four other chemicals from the rule, the Trump EPA now says it will give drinking water systems until 2031 to get rid of PFOA and PFOS in the supply—two years after the original deadline of 2029. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Trump_wants_to_weaken_protections_against forever_chemicals_in_drinking_water⠀⇛ The Trump administration plans to weaken drinking water rules meant to protect Americans from “forever chemicals” that have been linked to cancer, reproductive risks, liver damage, and other health issues. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Rich Trouton ☛ Apple_Filing_Protocol_client_deprecated_as of_macOS_Sequoia_15.5.0⠀⇛ This announcement is providing a end-of-the-road notification for AFP, which has been included in Apple’s operating systems for the Mac since System 6 in 1988. The ability to run an AFP server was removed from macOS as part of macOS Big Sur and it is not possible to host AFP shares from APFS formatted drives, so the AFP client has been the final functional part of AFP left as of macOS Sequoia. # ⚓ Six Colors ☛ Can_we_still_love_Apple?_Should_we_ever have?⠀⇛ Perhaps this is why I was shocked by the inner sanctum details revealed by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in a suit against Apple by Epic Games. You can read all the back-and-forth details elsewhere, including this very site. The upshot is this: Apple was directed to give developers in the United States a pathway to let customers pay for stuff used in the app outside of Apple’s payment system. The judge’s decision was upheld on appeal and the Supreme Court declined a review. In January 2024, Apple unveiled its new system: developers could apply to add links to outside payment web pages, which customers would reach after clicking a scary warning. Apple would collect a mere 27%. # ⚓ Six Colors ☛ Want_Apple_to_add_a_feature?_Pass_a_law⠀⇛ When I wrote about switching to the Mac in July of 2023, I lamented the Mac’s lack of support for my language, Slovene. Apple has never gotten around to supporting many languages, but for Slovene, it all changed with iOS 18 and macOS 15. So I am writing this on my Mac Mini with the default language set to my native tongue. Why did Apple do this after 18 years of iOS and a thousand years of the Mac? The simple answer is: Regulation works. In April of last year, the Slovenian parliament passed a new version of The Public Use of the Slovenian Language Act stating that if you want to sell products in Slovenia, they must “speak” Slovene. Before I discuss the reasoning behind the law, it’s worth explaining why Apple’s past exclusion of Slovene was so unusual. # § Artificial Intelligence (AI) / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Even_Audiobooks_Aren't_Safe_From_AI_Slop⠀⇛ It's Audible's biggest foray into AI yet, and will be a major blow for voice actors, who are fighting tooth and nail to win protections against the technology, particularly in the US video games industry, where they are still on strike. # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ Waymo_recalls_more_than_1,200 automated_vehicles_after_minor_crashes⠀⇛ The recall comes after a series of minor crashes with gates, chains and other obstacles in the road that did not result in any injuries, the Mountain View, Calif.-based company said in a filing with the NHTSA. The recall applies to 1,212 driverless vehicles operating on Waymo’s fifth-generation automated driving software. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Infosec_pros_still_aren't_nailing the_basics_of_AI_security⠀⇛ "And how many, in your deepest of hearts, actually have a good grasp of the security risks involved in AI system controls, by a show of hands?"

They don't know enough about what AI is to be alert to its shortcomings. And they don't know enough about their subject content to make judgments on this anyway. Most importantly, they don't know what they don't know. As two academics involved in higher education teaching, we argue that there are four key dangers facing students in today's world of AI. # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ YouTube_will_air_its_first exclusive_NFL_game_from_Brazil⠀⇛ YouTube will team up with the NFL for a multiyear deal for the annual Super Bowl Flag Football Game.

This means the government may not use money to get access to information about electronic communications (presumably metadata), the contents of electronic communications, contents of communications sent by a tracking devices, digital information on electronic funds transfers, pseudonymous information, or “sensitive data”, which is defined in Montana as information about a person’s private life, personal associations, religious affiliation, health status, citizen status, biometric data, and precise geolocation. This does not mean information is now fully off limits to police. There are other ways for law enforcement in Montana to gain access to sensitive information: they can get a warrant signed by a judge, they can get consent of the owner to search a digital device, they can get an “investigative subpoena” which unfortunately requires far less justification than an actual warrant. # ⚓ EFF ☛ Stopping_States_From_Passing_AI_Laws_for_the Next_Decade_is_a_Terrible_Idea⠀⇛ We strongly oppose this. We’ve talked before about why federal preemption of stronger state privacy laws hurts everyone. Many of the same arguments apply here. For one, this would override existing state laws enacted to mitigate against emerging harms from AI use. It would also keep states, which have been more responsive on AI regulatory issues, from reacting to emerging problems. # ⚓ [Repeat] OpenRightsGroup ☛ ORG_Responses_To_Data Intermediaries_And_Data_Brokers_Consultations⠀⇛ The online advertising system has no need to collect such a vast amount of data for delivering advertising. Collecting such an amount of data of that sensibility at that scale and making it available to any third- party who wants it is inherently unsafe, from a national security perspective or otherwise, and constitutes a risk that cannot be managed. Data brokers are the main responsible and enablers of these risks, as they both make data available for “enhancement”, and they set the incentives for adtech intermediaries to collect as much data as possible. # ⚓ NYOB ☛ noyb_sends_Meta_'cease_and_desist'_letter_over AI_training._European_Class_Action_as_potential_next step⠀⇛ Meta has announced it will use EU personal data from Instagram and Facebook users to train its new AI systems from 27 May onwards. Instead of asking consumers for opt-in consent, Meta relies on an alleged 'legitimate interest' to just suck up all user data. The new EU Collective Redress Directive allows Qualified Entities such as noyb to issue EU-wide injunctions. As a first step, noyb has now sent a formal settlement proposal in the form of a so-called Cease and Desist letter to Meta. Other consumer groups also take action. If injunctions are filed and won, Meta may also be liable for damages to consumers, which could be brought in a separate EU class action. Damages could reach billions. In summary, Meta may face massive legal risks – just because it relies on an "opt-out" instead of an "opt-in" system for AI training. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ NOYB_Threatens_Meta With_Lawsuit_if_it_Collects_Personal_Data_of_Europeans for_AI_Training_Without_Consent⠀⇛ NOYB highlighted in a Wednesday press release that if a company seeks to use personal data, it has to comply with one of six legal bases according to Article 6(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation. The opt-in consent allows users to provide a 'freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous' consent to the processing of data, say no, or even stay silent. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ iTWire_-_Can_people_really_listen_in_on your_mobile_phone_conversations?⠀⇛ The mobile phone in your hand may feel secure, but could someone be secretly listening in on your conversations?

These companies create extensive profiles on nearly every American, including highly sensitive data such as precise location history, political affiliations, and religious beliefs. This information is frequently resold for purposes ranging from marketing to law enforcement surveillance. # ⚓ Android Police ☛ YouTube_unveils_dystopian_AI_plan_to insert_ads_when_you’re_most_emotionally_vulnerable⠀⇛ YouTube just showcased a new, AI-based ad placement system called Peak Points, designed to take advantage of a video's most emotionally impactful moments. # ⚓ TechCrunch ☛ YouTube_viewers_will_start_seeing_ads after_‘peak’_moments_in_videos_|_TechCrunch⠀⇛ Peak Points leverages Google’s Gemini AI to analyze YouTube videos and identify moments it believes have the highest viewer engagement or are most emotionally impactful, and then suggests placing the ad right after it. # ⚓ Ars Technica ☛ Jury_orders_NSO_to_pay_$167_million for_hacking_WhatsApp_users⠀⇛ A jury has awarded WhatsApp $167 million in punitive damages in a case the company brought against Israel-based NSO Group for exploiting a software vulnerability that hijacked the phones of thousands of users. The verdict, reached Tuesday, comes as a major victory not just for Meta-owned WhatsApp but also for privacy- and security- rights advocates who have long criticized the practices of NSO and other exploit sellers. The jury also awarded WhatsApp $444 million in compensatory damages. # ⚓ Marco F ☛ Leaving_the_Apple_Watch_Behind⠀⇛ My general dissatisfaction, especially with the tech industry and particularly with the ever-declining software quality and Apple’s behavior, led me to the decision to break free from these constraints. It really challenged me mentally. But if I’m honest with myself, closing the rings, the incoming notifications (which I had already significantly minimized), sleep tracking, and all the other functions I used the watch for often stressed me more than they might have helped.

But there are still laws in place to ensure that governments, be they foreign or domestic, can’t curry favor with presidents this way. In 1966, Congress passed a law — the Foreign Gifts and Decorations Act — to cap the monetary value of a gift the president is allowed to personally accept. As of 2023, that amount is $480. This means that the president can accept gifts of any amount on behalf of the country but, after leaving office, they can only keep the gifts that are worth less than $480. If they want to hold on to a more expensive gift, they have to buy it themselves from the government at the estimated market rate. Otherwise, these gifts are typically sent to the National Archives, ultimately transferring ownership to the American people, not any specific individual. # ⚓ BoingBoing ☛ Even_Republicans_admit_Trump’s_jet_is_an unconstitutional_bribe⠀⇛ I am left wondering what this "gift" jet is a distraction from, because it is so fantastically illegal that even Chuck Schumer is abandoning writing sternly worded letters and is instead "doing something" (even though it is still ineffective). # ⚓ YLE ☛ Why_are_so_many_data_centres_popping_up_in_Finland?⠀⇛ The money generated by data centres in Finland mostly ends up outside of the country. The majority of profits are usually funnelled back into the business to acquire more processors and servers. Even though data centre deals are worth billions of euros, only about 20 to 30 percent of the funds remain in the country, according to an estimate by Jouni Salonen, a senior advisor at Business Finland. However, that is a rough estimate, due to the competitive nature of the industry, companies behind the centres tend to carry out business as quietly as possible. # ⚓ Bridge Michigan ☛ FBI:_Man_plotted_ISIS-inspired_mass shooting_at_Army_site_in_Michigan⠀⇛ A 19-year-old man was arrested after spending months planning an attack against a U.S. Army site in suburban Detroit on behalf of the Islamic State group, authorities said Wednesday. # ⚓ Sightline Media Group ☛ Former_Guardsman_arrested_for alleged_mass_shooting_plot_at_Army_site⠀⇛ Said, a recent member of the Michigan Army National Guard, was arrested Tuesday shortly after launching a drone for a final look before an attack, the FBI said in a court filing. # ⚓ Insight Hungary ☛ Orban's_promised_spring_cleaning:_New bill_targets_NGOs_and_the_free_press⠀⇛ After Orban's controversial speech in which he promised a "spring cleaning," Fidesz MP, Janos Halasz, submitted a new bill to parliament moments before midnight that critics say is Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s toughest attack on civil society, 444 reports. The legislation would allow the government’s Sovereignty Protection Office (SPO) to blacklist NGOs, media outlets and other organisations receiving foreign funding. With the elections coming up next year and a growing opposition movement, civil society groups say the timing is no coincidence. The bill shows similarities with Russia’s “foreign agent” law.  The legislation would grant the SPO to investigate, monitor, and punish groups deemed a threat to “Hungary’s constitutional identity” or “Christian culture.” That includes organisations promoting gender diversity or public policy reform. Blacklisted groups could be fined up to 25 times the amount of their foreign funding, lose access to tax-deductible donations, and be subject to asset disclosure and inspections. “This follows the Russian pattern: it is about abuse of power and revenge,” said Budapest mayor, Gergely Karácsony. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ DHS_won’t_tell_Congress_how_many_people it’s_cut_from_CISA⠀⇛ “You’ve overseen mass reductions in the workforce at CISA and” the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Mississippi Rep.

The cruelty is mind-boggling. In fact, I have both a suggestion and a prediction for major media organizations: I’d like to see them do focus groups with ordinary voters, describing these plans. My prediction, based on what we’ve seen in the past, is that many voters will simply refuse to believe the policy descriptions, insisting that elected officials can’t possibly be that vicious. But they can be and are. And yet the brutality of the cuts to the social safety net isn’t what bothers me most about what’s about to happen to public policy.

The federal agency in 2023 ordered Idaho to stop blocking some students with learning disabilities, like dyslexia, from special education. That same year, it flagged that the state’s own reviews of districts and charters obscured the fact that just 20% were fully complying with the federal disability law.

This is about having the power to dehumanize and destroy—about who is allowed to wield violence and who must absorb it. It is not incidental that racist murderer Travis McMichael stood over Ahmaud Arbery’s body as the life bled out of it and made sure the last words he heard were “fucking nigger.” Or that moments before a white stranger murdered James Rone Jr. in 2023, the killer used the word “nigger.” As Deryl Dedmon beat James Anderson, and before killing him by running him over with his truck, he would repeatedly call him a “stupid nigger.” That word has been a prelude to every act of white supremacist violence. When white racists use that word, even when the stakes are merely abusive and not lethal, they do so knowingly—recognizing it as a blood-soaked word with a violent history. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Airbnb_Is_in_Midlife_Crisis_Mode⠀⇛ This month, Airbnb will launch the first stage of its more than $200 million reinvention: a panoply of more than 10,000 vendors peddling a swath of services in 260 cities in 30 countries.
