There are issues aside from costs and liabilities; many instances or sites just give up and go offline. This happens every day somewhere in the world. Most of the time we just don't hear about it or sites "unofficially" throw in the towel (like JoinDiaspora did; it never offered an outward migration route as it had promised, that was just vapourware). Many news sites wrongly assumed that posting directly to Twitter - i.e. outsourcing - would be acceptable. That didn't age well (some of them got more traffic via/from/in Twitter than their own site; then Twitter died). The same goes_for_police_departments, politicians and so on. Whose terrible idea was it? Sharecropping is for serfs. They enriched other people and helped_them_herd_the masses. Having just mentioned_Google_getting_worse, let's take a moment to elaborate on that. Many people, not only publishers or some online authors (e.g. bloggers), complain that Google tries to swallow other people's work and then reproduce it not using links (attribution, traffic sharing) but LLM slop, instead. Others point out that Google no longer crawls as deeply as before, nor does it index and present much older pages. Google is cutting its bills by abandoning a commitment_it_never_had: organising the Web. Over time sites will learn to do their own search, not just their own research (forget_about_Google;_it's_slop,_it's_nonsense). Google used to be synonymous with search. It ought not be. Here in Techrights we're working on doing search our own way. Leaving another party to do that means facilitating control by a potentially hostile party, which can omit/censor pages (or downrank/prohibit certain topics). What we're building is versatile: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_Internet_is_an_Appalling_Medium_for_News_and_It_Has_Only Gotten_Worse⦈_ It only takes a few milliseconds to perform a search. It covers about 50,000 pages, not counting comments. If you don't build (or deploy) your own, or put another way if you let somebody else do that, then you're under the control or some other party, which may become more hostile over time or simply go offline. In Geminispace, it's often said that "organising" things using a large search engine or authoritative (maybe authoritarian) site/capsule would be a grave mistake - basically replicating some of the same problems the Web has. In the age of LLM slop, wherein many sites are polluted with slop and it's not trivial to detect on the spot (for instance, someone just searches Google and lands in some unfamiliar domain of unknown provenance), it'll make sense to focus on few particular trusted sites, then search internally. █ * The_Manchester_Bees_and_This_Hot_Summer * Quick_Points_Regarding_This_Week's_Court_Hearing ⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣄⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡏⡧⡦⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠁⠐⠣⠴⡑⢶⢬⣿⡿⡇⢄⡁⠀⠁⢀⠐⠀⠛⠛⠻⠟⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⠛⠛⢯⠉⠙⠓⠒⠐⠻⠘⠈⠉⠪⠀⠶⠤⠠⡒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⣴⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣮⣷⣮⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠶⢶⣶⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣬⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣍⣀⣀⣀⣈⣉⣙⠛⢿ ⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠘⠁⠀⠀⠀⢄⠀⠀⠑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠻⢿⠟⠉⠉⠀⠉⠙⠉⠛⠙⠛⠙⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⡌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣶⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠌⠀⠙⠋⠓⠀⠀⠈⠉⣽⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠐⠈⠄⠀⠀⠀⠋⠀⢀⣴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠴⠀⠁⠄⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡿⠛⠛⠛⠋⠈⠻⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡿⠋⠙⠙⠿⠁⠙⠻⠉⠙⠛⠛⠉⠉⠙⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⣹⡿⠉⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠈⠚⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠁⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠹⣬⣷⣴⡦⡷⠦⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⢀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠸⡿⢿⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶ ⣯⣭⣭⣬⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡷⠷⢶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣟⣛⣛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠆⠀⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⢀⣸⣀⣇⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠃⠀⠛⢛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣠⣄⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣖⣄⣒⣛⣟⣩⡏⠟⠛⠟⠛⠟⠻⠛⠟⠿⠻⠛⠻⠛⠿⠛⠻⠿⠿⠟⠻⠙⠛⠻⠛⠻⠿⠟⠟⠛⠿⠙⠯⠛⠛⠛⠟⠛⠛⢳⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣯⣦⣭⣭⣬⣦⣟⣉⣉⣃⣁⣃⣚⣛⣋⣛⣙⣛⣉⣙⣑⣙⣉⣉⣛⣉⣉⣃⣋⣋⣋⣛⣙⣛⣃⣃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡷⡷⠶⠶⠶⠾⣯⠤⠤⡥⢭⢬⡥⠤⣥⡭⠤⣥⡥⢭⣥⣤⣤⣬⡥⠤⠤⡬⠤⢭⠡⣤⢤⢬⠤⣬⠬⣤⣥⣥⣤⣥⣬⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣟⣟⣛⣛⣛⣛⡷⠒⠒⠖⠲⠶⠖⠒⠶⠖⠒⠶⠒⠲⠶⠲⠶⠲⠒⠶⠶⠒⠶⠒⠒⠶⠲⠲⠲⠲⠒⠟⠿⠿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣯⣋⣭⣭⣹⣉⣟⣉⣉⣋⣙⣙⣋⣉⣋⣋⣉⣙⣙⣛⣙⣛⣉⣙⣉⣉⣙⣙⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡷⡧⠶⣿⠽⡧⣯⠤⠤⡥⠤⣭⡥⠤⡥⣭⠤⠤⠥⡥⡥⠥⠤⢤⢤⡬⠤⠥⡥⠭⠬⣬⣤⠬⠤⠤⠭⡤⡤⢬⢬⣬⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠟⠿⣛⡿⢻⠛⡷⠒⠒⠖⠲⠶⠶⠶⠖⠶⠶⠖⠖⠖⠖⠖⠒⠒⠒⠲⠒⠶⠖⠶⠒⠒⠲⠖⠒⠲⠖⠒⠶⠒⠚⠛⠟⠟⠿⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣋⣛⣭⣟⣹⣙⣟⣉⣉⣋⣛⣛⣛⣛⣋⣛⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣋⣋⣋⣉⣛⣙⣉⣉⣛⣉⣉⣉⣛⣋⣉⣋⣉⣉⣙⣙⣉⣋⣉⣉⣉⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡥⢬⣴⠯⣼⠤⣯⠤⠤⡥⢭⣭⡭⠥⠥⡭⢥⣤⣤⢬⠥⣭⣥⡭⢤⠥⠤⣥⡤⡬⡤⣬⠬⠥⣤⣬⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠖⠲⢾⣛⢾⠒⡗⠒⠲⠒⠲⠒⠒⠒⠶⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠲⠒⠒⠒⠖⠒⠒⠲⠲⠒⠒⠖⠒⠶⠒⠒⠒⠻⠛⠻⠛⠟⠿⠻⠻⠛⠻⠿⠛⠿⠛⠻⠟⠿⠟⠻⠟⠛⠛⠟⠛⠻⠛⠛⠟⠻⠛⠻⠛⠻⠟⠻⠻⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 215 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/06/20/Europe_is_Leaving_Microsoft_the_Press_Coverage_Isn_t_Sufficient.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/06/20/Europe_is_Leaving_Microsoft_the_Press_Coverage_Isn_t_Sufficient.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Europe is Leaving Microsoft, the Press Coverage Isn't Sufficiently Helpful⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 20, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇A_waterfall_among_rocks⦈_ Microsoft people realise there is a problem. "This is not caused by msft," they would_rather_believe, "they know our Gov backdoors into our products and they do not like it. The Danes are just the first to move, the rest of Europe will follow soon. Not a major ding but it will hurt a lot." Another comment said: "Makes perfect sense when customers' needs are ignored and they instead become the product." (They're talking about "The Danish Ministry for Digital Affairs will move half of its employees off Windows and M365 next mo as part of a 4-year 'digital sovereignty’") Meanwhile, "Microsoft reportedly planning new round of layoffs, with sales roles likely to be hit", according_to_a_Microsoft-sponsored_SPAM_farm_(paid spam_disguised_as_news_reports). False numbers there, as usual; "there have been more than two rounds already this year," an associate correctly pointed out (and the latest upcoming round, as someone_pointed_out_some_hours_ago: "Not final lol. Not even close"; another joked: "The only department that is safe for now is the space exploration program"). This associate added that this article ("Denmark takes a huge gamble on Linux and LibreOffice to fight back against US tech dominance") just "chooses to ignore full OpenDocument Format support". We wrote about this the other day. There are many Microsoft layoffs because Microsoft loses a lot of business, including some of the very biggest clients and contracts. And "notice that protocols and formats are not mentioned," the associate says, "nor is the replacement program or service even named..." (in relation to "After_Danish_cities,_Germany’s_Schleswig-Holstein_state_government_to_ban Microsoft_programs_at_work") We have been keeping track of many of these stories in the sister_site. The associate says that "the AFP post ignores/omits the intrigue from Microsoft that went on in Munich" in "'We're_done_with_Teams':_German_state_hits uninstall_on_Microsoft". The news is generally positive, but the press coverage leaves so much to be desired. █ Related/contextual items from the news: 1. ⚓ Denmark_takes_a_huge_gamble_on_Linux_and_LibreOffice_to_fight_back against_US_tech_dominance⠀⇛ The Danish Ministry of Digitalization reportedly plans a phased migration to Linux operating systems and LibreOffice for office productivity. The initiative is driven by concerns over digital sovereignty and the strategic risks of depending on foreign providers, particularly those based in the United States. 2. ⚓ microsoft_exit_germany:_After_Danish_cities,_Germany’s_Schleswig- Holstein_state_government_to_ban_Microsoft_programs_at_work⠀⇛ Microsoft exit in Germany: Why Schleswig-Holstein is ditching Teams and Office for open-source tools- In a bold digital transformation move, Germany’s Schleswig-Holstein state is cutting ties with Microsoft. Within the next three months, civil servants, judges, and police officers across this northern state will no longer use Microsoft tools like Teams, Word, Excel, or Outlook at work. Instead, the state government is shifting completely to open-source software, aiming to achieve what officials call “digital sovereignty” and to reduce reliance on U.S.-based tech giants. * Slopwatch:_Linuxsecurity,_BetaNews,_and_Linux_Journal * Why_Microsoft_and_Its_'Hey_Hi'_(Slop)_Frenzy_Fail_While_Sinking_in_Deep, Growing_Debt ⣿⢺⠻⠿⣿⣿⣦⠘⠷⢼⣮⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠲⠚⠛⠒⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄ ⣿⣿⡗⠁⠀⠈⢉⡀⠀⠀⠉⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠶⠾⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠈⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⢀⣤⣦⡾⠏⠀⠀⠉⠁⠂⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⢀⣴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠋⠛⠛⠋⠙⠛⣿⣿⣿⣦⣸⣿⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠶⡄⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢠ ⣜⠛⣿⠰⠂⠀⠖⠻⠿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣧⣤⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠛⠉⠉⠙⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣷⣶⣶⣤⠒ ⠈⠀⠁⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡐⠛⠋⡿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠙⠛⢿⡿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠛⢷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠛⠿⠿⠿⢦ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠙⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣀⣀⡀ ⠀⡶⠷⠶⣶⣤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⣭⣶⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠁⠀⠉⠁⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣤⣴⡮⠙⢙⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡤⣀⡿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠘⣩⣽⣶⣮⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⡟⠀⠟⠉⠉⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣷⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣄⡀⠀⡀⠀⠻⢿⠿⠁⠀⠀⠘⠚⣿⠃⠀⢨⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣉⠙⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢾⣿⣿⠿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠾⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣟⡛⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⡈⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠛⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⣷⣾⡧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠜⠉⠑⠛⠀⢬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⡠⢤⡴⠿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠀⢐⠣⢹⠙⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡸⠷⣰⣯⣽⣾⣿⠋⡉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣦⡄⠀⠀⠀⠐⡳⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣟⢿⣭⡻⠷⣗⣤⣄⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣶⡇⠀⠀⢠⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣭⣽⣶⣽⣚⠁⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠻⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠋⠛⠙⠉ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⠟⠁⠀⠀⣠⠀⠀⣀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⢸⠏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠁⠉⠛⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠁⣰⣮⣄⣼⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⠠⡄⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡍⠀⠀⢒⣖⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣤⣿⣿⠋⠉⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣛⣿⣃⠀⣼⡄⠶⢾⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⣿⠿⠿⡇⡿⠁⢰⣆⣄⣾⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢄⡆⠔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣏⠀⢀⣼⡷⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢩⣴⣷⠋⢀⡼⢿⣿⠋⢻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣞⣿⡟⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠙⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠉⠉⠉⠫⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠋⠛⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⢿⡇⠀⢸⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⣀⣀⣀⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉ ⣿⣆⠙⣷⠖⠈⡀⠀⠀⠸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⠀⠀⠀ ⢻⣿⠀⠹⣧⣠⣑⠐⠄⠴⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣦⣔⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 341 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/06/20/Gemini_Protocol_Enters_Its_Seventh_Year_Growth_Has_Accelerated.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/06/20/Gemini_Protocol_Enters_Its_Seventh_Year_Growth_Has_Accelerated.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Gemini Protocol Enters Its Seventh Year, Growth Has Accelerated!⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 20, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇There_are_4458_capsules._We_successfully_connected_recently to_3059_of_them.⦈_ One year ago gemini://_turned_5 and its founder_said about active capsules or "platforms" (domains which respond over gemini://): "They are spread across roughly 2,750 capsules, up from about 2,500 last year, a 10% increase."

We are sad to say that in some sense it looks like sites don't just go offline but go rogue, then go offline (without dignity). They tarnish the Web with junk and then die. Junk? Yes, junk! Misinformation perpetuated ad nauseam, almost ad infinitum (waste of energy, but they don't seem to mind profitability yet). Eventually it drowns out accurate information and simple facts. Regarding the common observation that "[so-called] "AI" [is] running out of training data", one reader told us (citing The Register's "AI_model_collapse_is not_what_we_paid_for"): "Sorry if you have already discussed this article. I encounter this line of criticism quite often these days. I have observed silly text on Google myself. I presume AI generated it." Well, Techrights, I told him, "had 2-3 articles about it this morning. :)" (this_one_for_instance) They included a link to April's message to libreplanet-discuss. To quote: "Can AI distinguish between "free" as in "free drinks" and "free" as in "freedom"? We should watch out for this. The above makes me think that we should not expect much. Even if we observe AI getting the distinction right in a number of cases we should not expect it to be always correct. For one thing many people are confused and much has been written based on the mistake. it is unreasonable to expect that none of the erroneous material has been fed to the large language model (LLM) neural networks for training. In addition the above example indicates that AI is not good at coping with lack of integrity. Perhaps a contradiction which is obvious to a human being is not so for AI." Linux Journal, we're sad to see and to say, is already using slop images and their 'latest_article' is deemed by a reputable scanner to be another slop piece: "74% AI generated, 1% mixed, and 25% human" (not the first time). If this is where Linux Journal is headed, then it'll only do harm. █ * On_"Learning_to_Code" * Links_20/06/2025:_Google_Shareholder_Sues_Google_and_Google_Sued_for Defamatory_Slop_('Hey_Hi')_Word_Salads_('Summaries') ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁ ⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣄⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣶⣶⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⠀⢰⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⣆⠀⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡏⠉⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡏⠙⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⢀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡆⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⢿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⠈⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢀⣀⡀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢸⣿⡇⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣇⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠘⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡏⠉⢻⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠘⢿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⢿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⠃⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 703 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/06/20/Mastodon_and_the_Fediverse_Have_an_Issue_Liability_for_Content_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/06/20/Mastodon_and_the_Fediverse_Have_an_Issue_Liability_for_Content_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Mastodon and the Fediverse Have an Issue: Liability for Content (Even in Other Instances) and Costs⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 20, 2025 Earlier this year we wrote about large instances of Mastodon throwing in the towel.

Writing good text is fine, but what if you then depend on hired contractors to fix any small technical issue, or to build tools? For many patent-centric blogs which we follow it was foreseen to be so expensive that they outsourced to platforms such as Blogspot or TypePad - a bad decision in retrospect. This morning we wrote about journalists who had outsourced to Twitter and then quit it, more or less because of and/or after MElon took over. The_"FEDERAL_RESERVE_BANK_of_NEW_YORK" has new research data on "The Labor Market for Recent College Graduates" and the article_above deduces that "Learn to Code" is very bad advice. Back in the 90s, when I was a teenager, this was considered very common, uncontroversial advice. Is that still a valid or an invaluable advice? Well, with globalisation there's more and more competition from people willing to do the same work for a lower fee. I saw that in prior jobs that I had and that hasn't gotten any better since then. There's another way to look at it: That is "because Microsoft has replaced once useful curricula with marketeering and fluff," argues an associate. Yes, many "programmers" in contemporary workplaces or settings use frameworks instead of coding, plus there is the issue of them relying on slop for code. Some employers demand the latter, as I explained some days ago. So quality may suffer, plus things get bloated (large chains of frameworks where none should be required and where none are actually needed). It should be noted that on "learning to code", in general or as a general concept, we'd_also_like_refer_to_the_May_post_we_wrote_about_bicycles_vs handicaps. We recently saw a great deal of handicaps being promoted_in_the media - even earlier today - and maybe one can tie that into Richard Stallman's (RMS) goals of software freedom where the end user is in charge of what the machine does. Simplicity is a prerequisite and frameworks, rather than foster reuse, are contributing to bloat which is hard to audit. systemd is a good example of this. Various JavaScript "frameworks" (sometimes overused to accomplish something very simple) would be another.█ * Quick_Points_Regarding_This_Week's_Court_Hearing *

This is the third time (3 out of 3) that a Master at the UK High Court effectively sides with me. So far I am happy to report that Masters in the Kings_Bench_Division understand the issues at hand and comprehend the abuse to which my_wife and I (and other people;_many_others) were subjected to persistently for a number of years already. In respect to the legal process, I will not comment on the details regarding the Hearing. I can, however, say that it paves the way for us to squash all the SLAPPs from Microsofters. At the end we aim to_be_compensated_for_what_they did. My understanding of British law is that those who sponsor such litigation can and will (unless infeasible) be held accountable. I just wish to add that one key issue that arose several times is the_Daily Mail_case_from_a_week_earlier, demonstrating a pattern_of_abuse_-_abuse_of process_-_from_that_same_firm. What we heard here in Manchester in April 2024 was correct; this firm is notorious for taking and advancing some of the very worst_cases, even ones without chance of success, as long as it_gets_paid_to_do so. It's formally known as abusive_litigation and it's frowned upon by judges and regulators alike. Robert Aslanyan’s claim seems relevant here*. Just because someone opens a case does not automatically means it has any merit to it. Meritless claims can be handled suitably, it just takes time and patience, perseverance, principled stance etc. █ _____ * "Fremantle opposed the claim and applied to the court for it to be dismissed," an_article_stated_last_year, "with Judge Mark Gidden ruling in a hearing on Friday that Mr Aslanyan’s case was “hopeless” and “completely without merit”." * Common_Mistake:_Believing_Social_Control_Media_Will_Document_Your Writings/Thoughts_and_Search_Engines_Like_Google_Will_Help_You_Find_These * On_"Learning_to_Code" ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡏⢉⠻⠛⠋⡛⠛⢛⠛⠛⠛⢹⠛⠛⠛⠉⡋⢛⠻⢛⢻⢛⠛⢉⡟⡛⡛⠟⠻⠛⠟⡛⡏⠛⠻⠛⢻⠛⠻⢛⠛⡋⣿⢛⢛⢙⢙⠻⠛⠟⣻⢹⠛⠛⠛⡟⠟⠻⠛⣻⠛⠛⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣷⡶⢶⣾⣶⡶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠶⣶⣾⣾⣶⣶⣾⣷⣷⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣷⣾⣶⣤⣼⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣿⣶⣾⣶⣾⣶⣶⣷⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⡁⣌⠀⡇⠀⢠⢠⠀⠀⡄⠁⠈⢠⠈⣼⠀⠀⡁⢀⠀⠀⢬⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣯⡍⡭⢉⠍⣿⣿⣏⡹⢿⠙⡍⢋⡏⡿⠙⠍⠉⡏⢝⣽⢯⠉⢹⠩⠉⠉⠉⡽⣿⢯⠉⢹⠭⠍⠹⢩⢹⠫⠉⢩⣟⠍⠉⠉⠉⣭⢩⠉⡝⢹⡿⢩⠉⣿⠉⠉⢟⠉⡯⠉⣏⡙⢩⠋⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⡛⠛⢛⡚⠛⠛⡛⡚⣻⠛⡻⡛⠛⡛⢙⠛⣻⢛⢟⣟⣛⢛⡛⢛⠋⠛⠛⡛⡿⠻⢛⢛⣻⢟⣛⢟⠛⢛⡻⢛⢛⢻⢛⠻⡟⢻⡛⡛⠛⢛⢛⠛⢛⢛⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠾⠾⠷⡿⠗⠶⠻⠾⠿⢿⡿⠟⣞⢚⠷⠿⡾⠾⠷⠿⠿⠿⠷⡷⠿⠶⠻⠷⢶⡿⠗⡷⠾⠾⠷⠷⠟⠶⠷⣷⠷⡷⠞⠲⠷⠷⡾⢾⠖⠾⠗⠿⠾⢷⠿⢷⠻⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⠾⣷⣶⣾⣷⣶⣿⡾⣷⣶⣷⣶⣶⢶⣿⣾⣷⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⢷⣶⣿⣾⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣤⣿⣶⣷⣶⣷⣶⠷⢷⢶⢶⣶⡶⡶⢶⣿⣶⢾⢶⡶⡿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣯⣼⣯⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿⣼⣤⣤⣢⣧⣤⣤⣥⣤⣯⣯⣤⣲⣧⣬⣬⣵⣼⣤⣽⣤⣧⣡⣧⣤⣿⣿⣦⣤⣤⣿⣼⣧⣁⣧⣦⣤⣼⣤⣤⣷⣥⣧⣼⣤⣾⣤⣤⣤⣇⣤⣬⣌⣠⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⣺⣧⣂⣀⣢⣡⣄⣦⣔⣿⣸⣷⣀⣀⣠⣐⣯⣪⣎⣇⣰⣁⣅⣇⣀⣆⣕⣿⣃⣀⣸⣕⣐⣝⣰⣸⣰⣀⣀⣁⣿⣰⣅⣗⣀⣂⣔⣕⣀⣀⣀⣃⣻⣅⣂⣀⣠⣂⣀⣈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣩⣹⣍⣩⣉⣋⣽⣽⣉⣹⣍⣉⣽⣉⣽⣩⣻⣉⣏⣹⣍⣉⣉⣭⣯⣩⣩⣩⣩⣏⣍⣏⣍⣩⣉⣽⣏⣯⣉⣩⣹⣩⣩⣟⣩⣩⣁⣉⣽⣩⣉⣩⢉⣏⣩⣉⣟⣭⣹⣈⣽⣭⣉⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠋⠋⠫⢽⢹⠙⠛⡟⣟⠛⡟⠛⠛⠛⠋⠙⢻⠙⡛⡋⠛⠛⠋⡟⠛⣿⠛⠛⠟⠛⠛⡟⢙⠛⠛⡟⠛⢛⢻⠙⠛⣿⡛⠛⠛⢛⠟⠛⠋⡿⠛⠙⢙⠛⠻⠛⡟⢛⠛⢻⢛⠛⠛⠛⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠿⢿⢿⠻⠿⡿⡿⠻⠿⡟⡿⠿⢻⠿⠿⠷⢿⡿⠿⠿⡟⠿⠿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣶⣶⣦⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⣛⢛⢛⢻⣿⣿⡟⠛⡛⠛⠛⠛⡿⠿⠟⠿⡿⠿⣿⣿⠛⡿⠿⣿⠿⡿⣿⠿⡿⣿⡿⣿⡿⠿⡿⡟⠿⠻⠿⡿⢿⠻⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣾⣾⣶⣷⣶⣾⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣷⣷⣿⣶⣦⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣾⣶⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠻⣿⣿⠟⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡻⠿⠿⡿⠟⡻⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠿⠻⠿⠿⠟⡿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣶⣿⣿⣶⣶⣾⣾⣶⣶⣶⣾⣷⣷⣴⣷⣶⣷⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣾⣶⣾⣶⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢛⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠻⠿⠿⡿⠻⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠻⡿⠿⠿⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⢻⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⠿⠿⢿⡿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣾⣿⣿⣶⣾⣶⣷⣾⣾⣿⣷⣾⣾⣿⣶⣶⣾⣷⣷⣷⣷⣿⣿⣶⣷⣷⣿⣶⣾⣾⣶⣿⣷⣧⣾⣶⣾⣾⣷⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣷⣶⣾⣾⣶⣾⣿⣿⣾⣾⣿⣶⣶⣾⣿⣶⣷⣮⣷⣾⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢛⢿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⡿⢿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠻⠟⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣾⣽⣿⣶⣾⣶⣷⣿⣾⣷⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣶⣷⣿⣿⣷⣷⣾⣷⣶⣶⣿⣷⣾⣾⣿⣾⣷⣷⣿⣶⣾⣿⣷⣷⣷⣷⣶⣶⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⠛⢛⠻⢻⣿⣿⡿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⢿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠿⠿⠟⠿⠿⡿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠿⠿⣿⠿⢿⠿⡟⠿⢿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⢿⠿⠿⢿⡿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣷⡶⢾⣷⣶⣶⣮⣾⣾⣶⣾⣷⡶⡷⢷⣶⣿⣶⣶⣾⣾⣿⣷⢾⣾⣾⣿⡿⣷⡿⣾⢶⣾⣷⣿⣶⣷⣶⣷⣾⣮⠿⣿⣾⡷⣷⣷⣿⡿⣿⣶⣾⢾⢿⢶⣿⣶⣾⣤⣷⡷⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣥⣾⣤⣤⣮⣦⣤⣵⣧⣤⣧⣴⣬⣾⣤⣤⣴⣤⣤⣥⣤⣤⣬⣧⣤⣧⣤⣤⣴⣴⣽⣤⣴⣪⣧⣄⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣧⣤⣦⣤⣥⣤⣼⣤⣤⣼⣦⣦⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣔⣡⣰⢐⣙⡈⣼⣢⣄⣂⣀⣈⣀⡇⣊⣈⣄⣸⣀⣃⣀⣯⣒⣀⣰⣁⣀⣈⣨⣆⣙⣀⣀⣾⣗⣵⣏⣠⣠⣀⣘⣎⣀⣸⣘⣄⣀⣀⣸⣀⣰⣑⣙⣈⣂⣇⣊⣨⣇⣹⣃⣆⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠉⡏⢩⠋⢻⠩⢉⢙⠉⡍⠉⢩⠉⢩⢫⡏⠉⠹⠉⢹⠉⠩⡿⠉⡏⣭⠉⠉⠉⡉⢩⠫⢹⠋⡯⠉⠉⠉⡏⠉⠉⠋⢫⡿⠉⡏⠝⢹⣯⠉⠩⠹⢹⡍⠫⢹⠉⠹⡿⠉⠋⡟⠭⠉⠍⢹⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢛⠛⣟⠛⠛⠚⠛⣛⠛⠛⡛⣻⣛⡳⠚⠛⠛⠛⢛⢛⡛⢻⢙⡟⠛⡛⣻⣛⡛⠛⠛⢗⠛⠛⠛⢛⢻⢛⠛⡛⡛⡛⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣿⣾⣾⣾⣶⣶⣶⣷⣿⣶⣶⣾⣾⣷⣿⣾⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣷⣷⣾⣶⣷⣿⣾⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1267 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/06/20/Six_years_of_Gemini.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/06/20/Six_years_of_Gemini.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ "Six years of Gemini!"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 20, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Today_is_the_sixth_anniversary_of_the_public_announcement_of Project_Gemini!⦈_ From_gemini://geminiprotocol.net: Today is the sixth anniversary of the public announcement of Project Gemini! It's been a quiet year at geminiprotocol.net thus far. I've let two "Apollo days" slip by without a word. I'm about as disappointed in myself for this as I expect many folks are unsurprised by it. I do still have plans and clear ideas for finalising the minor oustanding spec issues. I'd tell people to look forward to something by Apollo 15 day (2025-11-03), but at this point, who'd believe me? Well, let's see. I'll stick to my promise from last year's anniversary announcement of discontinuing the previously traditional report of Geminispace size statistics: endless growth is not and never was a goal of the project, so there's little sense in continuing to do this. In case anybody thinks this is just a high-minded way to disguise the first set of disappointing numbers, I did check and in fact almost all of them have gone up a little, so there. I might have been idle of late, but not everybody in the community has been. I continue to receive, and to apply, patches to the geminiprotocol.net repository correcting errors in the official documentation or adding translations of into diverse languages, and I continue to be very grateful for these generous contributions of time and energy. The same is true, of course, for all those folks who continue to keep search engines, aggregators, multi-user hosting services and more up and running, year after year.

Google News even relayed some of these fake articles. We then saw similar things in the slopfarm called Linuxsecurity: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇BERT_Ransomware_Takes_Aim_at_Linux_Systems⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Critical_Flaws_Discovered_in_X.Org_X_Server_and_Xwayland⦈_ Fake 'articles'. Speaking of slopfarm, so far the BetaNews site (after all_staff_got_fired_from what_we_can_gather) is 100% slopfarming. This is what they published yesterday: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Windows_Hello_Facial_Recognition_Fails_in_the_Dark_After Update⦈_ So far every 'article' there is LLM slop, including this one: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Microsoft_has_not_fully_explained_the_change,_and_there's_no clear_fix_or_rollback_option_yet.⦈_ It seems like a dead site walking. No real writers there. We hope that Linux_Journal will survive. All this LLM slop contributes to the assumption that a site like this, with slop images everywhere, also crossed to the "dark side" (slopfarming). An article was very recently deleted there. We don't know why. From what we can gather, they still publish real articles, but they're reaching out to some slop for graphics and that's a slippery slope. █ * Over_at_Tux_Machines... *

slowed down a bit yesterday and enjoyed some time outdoors. We're now testing the full-site search, which is functional but not yet "camera-ready". It'll help us produce better articles with better references; it'll also help visitors of the site find material they look for, not having to rely on some third party like Google. Let's face it, Google isn't even working like it used to do! Last week we partied_for_the_sister_site (it turned 21) and this week we party for several reasons, not just the_Gemini_Protocol_anniversary. In my own experience and in my humble assessment, the monopolists (and their front groups, e.g. Linux_Foundation) are "losing their narratives". Their propaganda does not charm people anymore. We see pushback_against_Wayland, for instance, and then Red Hat (IBM) or GNOME people just start attacking journalists. Why? Because those journalists say the truth. Now they attack Liam from The Register. I can relate to him. The same people did the same thing to me. At the end, I would hope, not only would the journalists win the argument; the community would win against monopolies and monopolists. Monopolies and monopsonies are terrible to everybody. We need to learn how to best communicate these issues (Cory Doctorow is good at that, but he has been rather quiet lately [1, 2]). Us, as a community, remained strong. I don't wish for it to sound like bragging, but Techrights made powerful allies and alliances over the decades. They look after us just as we look after them. Together we are strong. Together we_shall_become_even_stronger. █ * Gemini_Protocol_Enters_Its_Seventh_Year,_Growth_Has_Accelerated! * Common_Mistake:_Believing_Social_Control_Media_Will_Document_Your Writings/Thoughts_and_Search_Engines_Like_Google_Will_Help_You_Find_These ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠐⠀⠀⣀⣀⠈⠐⡀⠂⠀⠀⢀⡀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡶⠾⡡⠖⣀⠁⠀⠀⠠ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣁⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠺⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⡎⣽⣿⢉⣴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠂⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠿⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⢿⡠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠙⠻⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣞⡃⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣶⣦⠾⢃⣠⣴⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⢸⣿⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣆⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠇⠀⠀⡀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠟⠏⠁⠃⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣬⢓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣆⣠⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠻⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣥⣦⣦⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⡟⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣾⣦⡒⠂⢀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠃⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠟⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣧⣬⢳⣦⠚⠁⢀⣠⣤⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠸⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⡶⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⡟⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣼⡆⠢⢀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠛⠉⡀⠐⠂⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⡿⠋⠁⠀⢀⡆⣰⡏⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠂⠈⠀⣴⡌⢠⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠽⠟⠉⠉⢁⣤⣾⢯⡄⠀⠀⣈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢶⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠫⣴⣼⢡⣶⣶⡀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⣠⢶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡶⡼⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢴⠐⠋⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠻⠂⠌⣀⡄⠈⣩⠽⣻⣿⠈ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⢁⠀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⡿⢏⡀⠙⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⡌⠀⣄⠺⠺⣧⠀⢀⠋⠀⣁⡀⠀⠀⣤⣀⡀⠐⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠈⢤⣾⠅⢀⠻⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠜⢀⣴⡟⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡄⠀⢁⣂⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣷⣾⣿⣷⣶⣯⠏⣼⣽⣆⣾⣧⠀⠙⢁⣀⣀⠀⣫⣿⣦⠀⢀⣀⢀⡀⠀⠰⠋⠐⠛⠓⣦⠁ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠃⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠪⠀⠁⠁⠀⠀⠈⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⡟⢀⣼⣾⠟⠁⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠏⢼ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⢀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⣠⣶⣶⡀⠀⠀⠀⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠙⣿⡉⣿⣛⣯⣄⠀⣿⣿⢛⣾⣿⠁⣿⣿⣿⣿⢃⣾⠽⢛⡀⢠⣤⡀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣭⣭⣾⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡘⢼⣿⣿⣷⣿⣛⣿⣿⣟⠸⠿⠿⠟⠁⠱⡿⢠⣿⣇⠴⠋⣤⠄ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⡈⠁⣤⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⡟⢸⡖⠀⠀⠀⢐⡋⣀⣤⡤⠀⣀⣴⣆ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣉⠁⠰⣿⣿⣯⢉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣸⣧⣴⣲⡄⢸⡷⣿⣿⡇⠘⡟⠙⠋ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣅⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡃⣿⣿⣿⣸⡇⣾⢷⡀⣿⣈⢠⣤⣖⣺ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣳⣤⣀⠀⣀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣷⠈⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣾⣇⣿⣚⣿⡀⣿⠉⠀⣉⠉ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣧⡙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢺⣿⣿⣿⡏⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡗⠿⡿⠿⠿⠷⠚⠋⠉⠐⠿⠄⢠⡶⣾ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⡙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⣿⣿⣿⠛⣿⣬⢀⠈⡶⡐⣧⣶⣶⠘⣿⠇⢹⢴⣷⡖⠀⣉ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣝⣛⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣬⣛⠻⠿⠿⣿⡜⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠃⢠⡇⡿⢏⠩⢍⢁⠈⣯⣼⡅⣶⣶⣶⣏⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⠛⠉ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⣍⢉⡻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡶⣶⣶⣄⡨⣭⡉⠛⢿⣿⣿⢾⣿⡼⣯⣽⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣧⡉⠛⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠠⡤ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⢙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⠛⣒⣬⠙⢿⣿⣷⣿⣿⡿⠟⢛⣉⡥⠀⢀⣀⣤⠐⠉⠁⡀⢀⣤⡄⠐⢆⡾⢃ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣎⡙⢿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣷⣏⢤⣻⣿⣷⣬⠛⣋⡉⠤⢶⣞⣛⣾⢥⡗⠘⠉⢲⣀⡴⠊⠀⠴⠞⠉⠛⠂⠅⠈ ⣿⣟⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠻⠉⢀⣿⣿⣿⣂⠐⠿⠿⠛⠒⠒⠘⠛⠒⣩⣶⣖⣦⠀⣠⡄⠀⣿⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1613 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/06/20/Why_Microsoft_and_Its_Hey_Hi_Slop_Frenzy_Fail_While_Sinking_in_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/06/20/Why_Microsoft_and_Its_Hey_Hi_Slop_Frenzy_Fail_While_Sinking_in_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Why Microsoft and Its 'Hey Hi' (Slop) Frenzy Fail While Sinking in Deep, Growing Debt⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 20, 2025 Microsoft's debt grew $8.2_billion_in_just_6_months! 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_tables_summarizes_Microsoft’s_Total_Debt_and_common_size over_the_last_few_quarters⦈_ "Microsoft is spiraling," Ryan said yesterday after the press had confirmed the upcoming_massive_round_of_layoffs_at_Microsoft. "This is a collapse playing out in real time," he argued. "I think you'll see that the vassal states can't go on very long without the sponsor." He was referring to the_deeply_debt-saddled_"open"_"hey_hi", which now leans on the Pentagon (or DoD) for bailouts while Scam Altman showers the sex_pest with compliments. Remember that Scam Altman himself was sued by his young sister for sexual abuse. These are con men and crooks, not normal people. These_are_the sorts_of_people_Microsoft_gets_along_with. "OpenAI and Microsoft are already having some serious disagreements," Ryan said, "that are starting to boil over. So there's going to possibly be some infighting there too. Meanwhile, their "investments" in OpenAI "tech", aren't really producing anything worthwhile. Mostly just pissing people off. Like the GitHub CoPilot bots going around filing fake bug reports and writing broken "pseudo-code". They cost a lot for the workload and the workload produces crap. Not necessarily anything reliable." GitHub_appears_to_be_losing_many_projects/users_over_this. Its former CEO, who left GitHub with a 9-billion-dollar class action lawsuit, is in headlines again because of Facebook ("Meta") and he's a super-shady_individual whom we'll be dealing with in the future. "Good," an associate said about the chaos at Microsoft. "But more needs to be done about the Microsofters left over who remain embedded in the institutions which they have infiltrated and subverted." This includes the above former CEO, who may_be_directly_implicated_in_the SLAPPs_against_us. He may look like a nice person, but he's evil, greedy, utterly sinister. Just look at his best friend: a man who strangles women and tells women to kill themselves! "It's pretty clear OpenAI would be dead meat without Microsoft cash," Ryan said. "They're a lot like the "false state of Manchukuo". Technically they're a company. But they can't go on without the other one." "During the Second World War, the Japanese invaded China. To legitimize their occupation of Manchuria, they installed the last emperor of China (who had been deposed and driven out of the Forbidden City) as a puppet emperor of a false state of "Manchukuo". In theory the false state had everything. A government, its own laws and officials, a post office, a currency. Except it was the Japanese running everything. They had Puyi signing their decrees. He didn't make his own decisions, he couldn't do anything on his own. The Japanese basically were sucking Manchuria dry. They were using Chinese slave labor, extracting raw materials, and promoting drugs and organized crime to raise cash for their war effort. They were so brutal and they flooded the country with so much opium, that by the time the Communists managed to take over, things IMPROVED." "OpenAI *is* Microsoft," the associate said, "so any "disagreement" is internal to Microsoft and most likely theater" (c.f. Daily_Links_about_Microsoft_having purchased_Altman_and_OpenAI). "OpenAI is really just a quagmire," Ryan said. "They're stuck in it now and all it does is cost money. But they also need it to attract investors to keep Microsoft stock propped up. With the promise there will be products. Investor patience is not infinite. It may go on for 5-6 years, but not forever. Bubbles usually don't go on for much longer than that." "Debt is difficult to service. The only hope to keep debt serviceable forever is at zero interest. The reason why credit card companies usually offer a 0% period for 18 or even 24 months is not kindness. They're not loaning you money that is always going to be free. While the 0% period is in effect, you can run high balances and they're not obviously hurting you. You could spend $20,000 on the damned thing before that period is up and your minimum payment will only be $200 a month. But once that period is up, the card is maxed, suddenly you owe them what? 24-34% APR. Your minimums spike to $600 a month, right? No easy way to keep it up. You can probably pay that but it's all interest. You never make any progress at that rate, so now you're just paying them not to hurt you for a while longer. The minimum payment crushes you and then what happens to that $200 a month you're paying off the balance? Well, you are making room on the card, but all the room you make on the card is available to spend again, meanwhile they suck you dry so you have no money. So you get 3-4 months, and have $600-800 paid off at a cost of four times that. Then you need a new car battery and the only way to pay for it is the credit card." "Debt is bad. The main reason of course, is, it's not always immediately obvious why. Until you've got a lot of it and it's crowding out things you can't have now. The US government is paying almost a trillion dollars a year now in debt interest. A few years ago it was $450 billion. Then a few years before that it was only $200 billion. It's a big ugly monster that gets bigger, and it gets bigger faster than you can even believe. This quarter, the federal government took in 15% more tax revenue than last year's first quarter. It didn't matter. The deficit was still up by $368 billion dollars, and it all gathers interest. If 5 more years go by like this, the feds may have to spend $2 trillion a year on debt interest. And nothing stops it because hyperinflation will set in." "They don't run out of money, they just make it your problem. That's how public debt works. The government is like a drunk going into a casino and nobody will make them stop gambling, and you have to pay the bill." Right now, like Twitter around the time it was sold to MElon, "open" "hey hi" is a big pile of debt with a lot to pay for that debt (interest payments). Will the company survive? Well, for at least two years already some publishers said it was untenable and that "company" was insolvent.

I was hopelessly naive. o ⚓ Robert Birming ☛ Finding_my_genuine_English_voice⠀⇛ Today, I decided to try writing in English from scratch. It doesn’t feel natural, and it takes longer, but I want to give it a fair shot. Maybe it’ll help calm my recurring blogging overthinking (probably not). But the main reason for this change is that I think my writing will be more “true.” What I mean is that the words will be closer to how they’d sound if I spoke them aloud. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ FAIR ☛ I_Believe_in_Science—But_Not_Necessarily_Science Journalism⠀⇛ I like to read science stories, even (maybe especially) when they’re not politically earthshaking. But sometimes what’s on the label is not what’s in the tin. # ⚓ Probably Dance ☛ Revisiting_Knuth’s_“Premature Optimization”_Paper⠀⇛ People always use this quote wrong, and to get a feeling for that we just have to look at the original paper, and the context in which it was written. The paper isn’t actually about optimization. It’s about when we have to use goto statements because structured programming couldn’t express certain things at the time. Or at least it couldn’t do so efficiently, requiring extra checks, and that’s why Knuth has to talk about performance: The topic he is addressing is “Can we get rid of goto statements without sacrificing performance?” # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ NSF_seeks_input_on_focus_areas_for_its Technology,_Innovation_and_Partnerships_directorate⠀⇛ According to a request for information set to be officially published Friday, NSF is looking for input that will inform its assessment of the 10 current focus areas for its Technology, Innovation and Partnerships directorate, or TIP directorate. Those areas were outlined by Congress when it first authorized the new arm in the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act, and under that legislation, the list must be reviewed annually. # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Kendallknight:_An_R_package_for_efficient implementation_of_Kendall’s_correlation_coefficient computation⠀⇛ The kendallknight package introduces an efficient implementation of Kendall’s correlation coefficient computation, significantly improving the processing time for large datasets without sacrificing accuracy. The kendallknight package, following Knight (1966) and posterior literature, reduces the time complexity resulting in drastic reductions in computation time, transforming operations that would take minutes or hours into milliseconds or minutes, while maintaining precision and correctly handling edge cases and errors. The package is particularly advantageous in econometric and statistical contexts where rapid and accurate calculation of Kendall’s correlation coefficient is desirable. Benchmarks demonstrate substantial performance gains over the Base R implementation, especially for large datasets. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Ness Labs ☛ Why_learning_how_to_learn_is_the_skill_behind all_skills⠀⇛ Traditional education teaches us what to think, not how to think. We memorize facts for tests, then forget them. We follow instructions instead of designing our own learning paths. Nobody teaches us the most important skill of all: learning how to learn. This gap matters because skills become obsolete faster than ever. The technology you learned last year might already be outdated. The strategy that worked yesterday might fail tomorrow. What remains constant is your ability to experiment, reflect, and iterate. # ⚓ Paul Krugman ☛ Bad_Times_for_College_Graduates⠀⇛ But not now. As I suggested, the current unemployment rate for young college graduates isn’t the highest we’ve ever seen. But previous peaks have come at times of general economic distress, like the aftermath of the global financial crisis. Now we have low overall unemployment, only slightly above historic lows, but unemployment among college graduates between 22 and 27 at recession-like levels. This has never happened before. Derek Thompson at The Atlantic plots the differential between recent- grad and overall unemployment over time: [...] # ⚓ Society for Scholarly Publishing ☛ Reflections_on_Shared Infrastructure_and_Distinctive_Collections⠀⇛ I’ve had the great privilege to help develop and lead Ithaka S+R for more than 20 years, including research and advisory projects supporting the work of libraries, publishers, and the research enterprise. It’s a moment of professional transition for me, as I assume responsibility for JSTOR Digital Stewardship Services and entrust Ithaka S+R to my colleagues. Through JSTOR Stewardship, we will help libraries, archives, and museums steward the distinctive collections that are essential for grounding academic work and public discourse about our history and society. My perspective has been shaped in many ways by my work over these past two decades, and here I want to reflect on some of what I’ve learned. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ AMD_tease_new_gaming_chips_that_combine "Ryzen_and_Radeon_for_consoles,_handhelds"_and_more⠀⇛ AMD have begun teasing some next-gen chips, following on from the announcements of the ROG Xbox Ally, and Microsoft talking about next-gen console plans. # ⚓ Tedium ☛ This_Retro_YouTuber_Wants_To_Take_Over_Commodore. Yes,_He’s_Serious⠀⇛ Today in Tedium: The difference between being a fan that simply likes something and one that wants to keep that thing alive is a massive gulf. It’s the difference between going into a store and buying a finished product, and having to figure out a business model for it and deal with customer support headaches. If that company sells products, you’re suddenly in the manufacturing business, and that can prove immensely frustrating. And then you have to make clear that your motives are legit, that you can keep running the thing. That’s a lot to take on. But recently, Christian “Peri Fractic” Simpson, a retro-tech YouTuber, decided to do just that, revealing that he and some business partners were interested in taking over the Commodore brand. I was curious—so I reached out. Via fax. And once we connected via 21st century technology, I found a highly passionate guy who decided to follow through on a dream. Today’s Tedium discusses the prospect of a Commodore megafan running a legendary computer brand. — Ernie @ Tedium # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Fugaku_successor_in_the_works_as_Fujitsu wins_HPC_contract⠀⇛ MONAKA is set to be fabricated using a 2nm production process, and will feature up to 144 ArmV9 cores with support for SVE2 vector extensions.

A 2021 study found that problematic porn watchers suffer deficits in everything from working memory and decision-making to inhibition control and attention span; a 2014 paper found reductions in gray matter volume associated with consuming adult content. # ⚓ Bridge Michigan ☛ Opinion_|_Don’t_let_TikTok_be_your child’s_only_sex_ed_teacher⠀⇛ This story is not unique. Because our laws governing sex education are so inadequate as to be non-existent, students are turning to social media or forming self-taught sex ed cooperatives to learn this information. Sixty-seven percent of 11-15-year olds in the US use TikTok. While some TikTok content is made by health professionals, the majority of videos, which receive billions of views, are by non-professionals and contain information that may or may not be true. How can we leave our children to fend for themselves, rather than provide them with the information and skills to navigate relationships and their own sexual development? # ⚓ NPR ☛ Screen_addiction_and_suicidal_behaviors_are_linked for_teens,_a_study_shows⠀⇛ The study, published in JAMA on Wednesday, looked at data on more than 4,000 kids from an ongoing longitudinal study following them for years, starting at ages 9 to 10. It found that by age 14, about a third of the kids had become increasingly addicted to social media, about a quarter had become increasingly addicted to their mobile phone and more than 40% showed signs of addiction to video games. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Net Media Europe ☛ Microsoft_To_Axe_Thousands_Of_Sales Staff_–_Report⠀⇛ More job losses for Microsoft, after report tech giant is planning to cut thousands of jobs, particularly in sales Microsoft is reportedly preparing to cut thousands of more jobs, in another worrying development for its global workforce. Bloomberg reported that the job losses, aimed mostly at sales teams (but possibly also other departments), could be announced in early July after Redmond’s Q4 and fiscal year end ends on 30 June. Last month in May 2025, Microsoft had already confirmed it was laying off 3 percent of its workforce across all levels, teams and regions (some 6,000 staff) – the firm’s biggest round of layoffs since 2023, when it slashed more than 10,000 staff amongst a broader wave of post- pandemic adjustments in the tech industry. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Microsoft_Reportedly_Eyes Sales_Staff_for_Next_Round_of_Cuts_After_May's_6,000 Layoffs⠀⇛ After slashing 6,000 jobs in May 2025, Microsoft's workforce is bracing for another shake-up as the tech giant is reportedly planning more layoffs in thousands. This restructuring is being done to streamline operations so as to stay competitive in a fast- evolving market with the company pouring billions into artificial intelligence (AI). # ⚓ Dolphin Publications B V ☛ Microsoft_plans_to_lay_off thousands_of_sales_employees⠀⇛ Microsoft plans to cut thousands of jobs, mainly within its sales teams. The company wants to shift its focus to AI investments. It is not alone in this: competitor AWS also plans to lay off staff and replace them with AI. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said Tuesday that the AI rollout will lead to a reduction in the company’s workforce in the coming years. According to Bloomberg sources, Microsoft is also working on a similar initiative, which will see thousands of jobs in the sales department disappear. The upcoming layoffs follow earlier cutbacks by Microsoft in May, when approximately 6,000 employees lost their jobs. The company is increasing its investments in AI in order to strengthen its position. Now that it is increasingly distancing itself from OpenAI, the former supplier of the AI technology that made Copilot possible, this may well be necessary. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Microsoft_365_brings_the_shutters_down_on legacy_protocols⠀⇛ Finally, third-party apps will need administrator consent to access files and sites. Microsoft said: "Users allowing third-party apps to access file and site content can lead to overexposure of an organization's content. Requiring admins to consent to this access can help reduce overexposure." # ⚓ Louie Mantia ☛ Rose-Gold-Tinted_Liquid_Glasses⠀⇛ The general adoption of this may test the patience of an already weary community of developers who feel tired of toiling away on trivial changes such as this. As I said, I don’t think there is any meaningful benefit to it, and designers and developers may themselves feel that as they implement it. Larger companies may take a hard look at whether it makes sense to have native apps at all versus just web apps. With so much eroded goodwill and Apple profiting immense amounts from third party developers, larger companies may reasonably question the benefit. I think they’d be right to do so. The web’s capabilities likely cover a lot of use cases that many apps need. # ⚓ Dedoimedo ☛ Windows_11_fresh_install_results⠀⇛ I have no intention of using Windows 11. It's a pointless operating system. But I test it occasionally, just to see what the state of the estate is, so to speak. I recently did a fairly extensive test on my dual-boot IdeaPad laptop, which included a version 24H2 upgrade, with all its associated problems. Long story short, it would seem my Administrator account on said box is borked beyond repair, and I will need to do a reset or a fresh install. Before attempting that, I wanted to check how Windows 11 behaves if configured afresh, no old stuff. On the test laptop, I had gone from Windows 10 to 11, and done a great deal of tweaks and customization. So, for the sake of fairness, let's do a new, blank-slate experiment. Follow me. # § Artificial Intelligence (AI) / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Companies_That_Replaced_Humans_With_AI_Are Realizing_Their_Mistake⠀⇛ "The human touch remains irreplaceable in many interactions, and organizations must balance technology with human empathy and understanding," said Kathy Ross, Gartner's senior director of customer service and support analysis. That's a vibe employees have been feeling for a while now. Another report, this one by IT firm GoTo and research agency Workplace Intelligence, found that 62 percent of employees are currently saying that AI is "significantly overhyped." # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Solar_Company_Sues_Google_for_Giving Damaging_Information_in_AI_Overviews⠀⇛ A solar firm in Minnesota is suing Google for defamation after the tech giant's shoddy AI Overviews feature allegedly made up wild lies about the company — and significantly hurt its business as a result. "This lawsuit is not just about defending our company's reputation; it's about standing up for fairness, truth, and accountability in the age of artificial intelligence," Nicholas Kasprowicz, general counsel for the solar company, Wolf River Electric, said in a statement. # ⚓ Star Tribune ☛ Lawsuit_against_Google_centers_on false_information_in_AI_Overview⠀⇛ “Members of the public, including potential employees and customers, have viewed the defamatory publications made by Google and have relied upon these false statements in regurgitating, spreading, and further defaming Wolf River, all because of Google’s false and unsupported statements,” the complaint said. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ The_Entire_Internet_Is_Reverting_to Beta⠀⇛ A car that accelerates instead of braking every once in a while is not ready for the road. A faucet that occasionally spits out boiling water instead of cold does not belong in your home. Working properly most of the time simply isn’t good enough for technologies that people are heavily reliant upon. And two and a half years after the launch of ChatGPT, generative AI is becoming such a technology. # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ Salesforce:_AI_agents_don’t_work_—_but we’re_charging_6%_more_for_AI_anyway⠀⇛ The agent bots had 58% success on tasks that can be done in one single step. That dropped to 35% success if they had to take multiple steps. The chatbot agents are also bad at confidentiality: [...] # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ Google_bribes_iNaturalist_to_use generative_AI_—_volunteers_quit_in_outrage⠀⇛ That is, the volunteers would work for free to improve Google’s bot. This plan didn’t go down so well. It turns out people do free work for knowledge because they hold principles and stuff. Many deleted their accounts — which also deletes their observations from iNaturalist — because they didn’t volunteer to feed a lying slop machine that’s an environmental disaster. And they no longer wanted anything to do with a charity so lost it didn’t see why this was not a good idea. # ⚓ Johan Halse ☛ Average⠀⇛ Remember: this is all being rammed down our throats at the speed of a hundred billion dollars. There are truly jaw-dropping sums being invested, and all that moolah needs to generate more moolah for Big Tech somehow. If recent history has taught us anything, it's that the people at the top aren't quite as sharp as we perhaps thought they were, and they're herd animals at their core. Modern management is all about anxiously eyeing everyone else, making sure you're wearing the correct color Patagonia vest and firing the proper percentage of people every year. Maybe another thousand layoffs will get you invited to a chat with the bros by one of Marc Andreesen's seven fireplaces? So much of the AI hype at the upper echelon of tech seems purely performative at this point. Your stock will suffer if you're not foaming at the mouth about AI, so you just adjust the collar of your $2000 button-down shirt, sigh, and start foaming. # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ WhatsApp_founders_hated ads_-_Meta_is_adding_them_anyway⠀⇛ Founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton also hated ads. They’d spent a combined 20 years working at Yahoo bonding over their frustration with a business model that sucked up personal data to show us pop-ups. Building ad systems was “depressing”, Koum said in an interview in mid-2014. But not too depressing to sell their chat service to online ad magnate Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta Platforms, just a few months later. Eight of WhatsApp’s roughly 50 employees made more than $100-million off that deal, while Koum gained a net worth of $6.8-billion. # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ J.D._Vance_Becomes_the_Most_Blocked Account_on_Bluesky⠀⇛ Vance commented once more in support of Thomas’ opinion, adding a conspiracist flourish in a third post by claiming that “many of those scientists [in favor of gender-affirming care for minors] are receiving substantial resources from big pharma to push these medicines on kids.” Predictably, the vice president received thousands more hostile replies than likes for these provocations, but as of Thursday afternoon, he had 9,000 followers on the platform. His account was also verified by Bluesky after it temporarily suspended Vance on Wednesday due to a false alarm that the page was not authentic. “Vice President Vance’s account was briefly flagged by our automated systems that try to detect impersonation attempts, which have targeted public figures like him in the past,” a spokesperson told TechCrunch of the accidental ban. “The account was quickly restored and verified so people can easily confirm its authenticity.” # § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Risk_Expert_Says_"Learn_to_Code"_Is_Now Worse_Advice_Than_"Get_a_Face_Tattoo"⠀⇛ Indeed, in its latest labor market report, the New York Federal Reserve found that recent college graduates who majored in computer science or computer engineering have higher rates of unemployment than those who studied journalism, political science, and even English. # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ Agencies_grapple_with_cyber skills_gap_in_control_systems⠀⇛ Earlier this year, the Air Force introduced a new cybersecurity training specifically focused on how to protect systems such as gas pipelines, power grids and traffic signals. The course is the first to meet the standards for the “control systems security specialist” role under DoD’s cyber workforce framework. # ⚓ Threat Source ☛ When_legitimate_tools_go_rogue⠀⇛ Concerned, Elena logged in from home to investigate. Almost immediately, two more alerts appeared. One signaled that Mimikatz (a tool popular with threat actors to steal credentials) had been used on the same Finance machine. The other reported a PsExec download (a command line tool used to execute processes) on a domain controller. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Chain_IQ,_UBS_Data_Stolen_in Ransomware_Attack⠀⇛ The attack on Chain IQ was claimed by the ransomware group Worldleaks, which added the company to its Tor-based leak site on June 11, claiming the theft of roughly 910 GB of data, or more than 1.9 million files. # ⚓ The Record ☛ Alleged_Ryuk_ransomware_gang_member arrested_in_Ukraine_and_extradited_to_US⠀⇛ The group launched over 2,400 ransomware attacks in multiple countries, encrypting victims’ data and demanding cryptocurrency payments in exchange for access, authorities said. It is believed to have used the Ryuk ransomware strain in many of the attacks, which targeted corporations, critical infrastructure and industrial enterprises across the world, typically for financial gain. # ⚓ Bitdefender ☛ Ransomware_gang_busted_in_Thailand hotel_raid⠀⇛ What they found was not only a floor housing a sophisticated gambling operation with poker tables, large quantities of cash chips, and some 20 foreign gamblers, but also - on the eighth floor - six Chinese nationals who were distributing links to companies designed to infect them with ransomware. Thai police say that the six men apprehended on the hotel's top floor were employees of the gang, specifically paid to try to infect Chinese companies with ransomware. Nine laptops and 15 mobile devices were seized by the authorities from the men. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ ICE_seeks_proprietary_data_and tech_to_monitor_up_to_a_million_people ⠀⇛ ICE outlined a range of data the contractor would work with, including business associations, court records, social media posts on platforms like X and TikTok, the dark web, international travel data, shipping information, geolocation information (including information from license plate readers), crime data, property records, supply chain information, information about cryptocurrency and blockchain, scientific research and development data, and international patent info. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ US_dawdles_over_'unconstitutional' tower_dump_appeal⠀⇛ The term "tower dump" refers to law enforcement obtaining records from cell towers, specifically related to individuals' locations and connection times, via warrants. # ⚓ Threat Source ☛ A_week_with_a_"smart"_car⠀⇛ There’s an EU regulation that requires new cars to come equipped with “Advanced Vehicle Systems,” which include features like driver drowsiness and attention warnings, lane- keeping systems and intelligent speed assistance. I hadn’t swapped cars in over a decade, so I was blissfully unaware of just how intrusive these systems could be. # ⚓ Cory Dransfeldt ☛ Recommended_email_providers⠀⇛ All of these providers are more private than the popular, "free" email providers that we often see day to day. Gmail is popular but has — in the past — scanned mail to target ads, served ads in inboxes and is guilty of myriad other ills and wrongdoing. I feel confident making that statement given how far these providers have buried the bar in the ground. Don't use Microsoft's mail offerings. Or AOL (lol) or your ISP's. If it's free, don't use it. What I've typically looked for in choosing a mail provider is support for core, open standards. IMAP/SMTP, CalDAV and CardDAV. I prefer that mail, contacts and calendars are colocated and accessible from any device. Colocating this information typically makes web interfaces and other ancillary services more useful. # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Pluralistic:_Your_Meta_AI_prompts_are in_a_live,_public_feed⠀⇛ The AOL dump was a catastrophe. In an eyeblink, many of the users in the dataset were de-anonymized. The dump revealed personal, intimate and compromising facts about the lives of AOL search users. The AOL dump is notable for many reasons, not least because it jumpstarted the academic and technical discourse about the limits of "de- identifying" datasets by stripping out personally identifying information prior to releasing them for use by business partners, researchers, or the general public. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Self-Driving_Car_Video_Footage⠀⇛ Lots of things are collecting lots of video of lots of other things. How and under what rules that video is used and reused will be a continuing source of debate. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ FAIR ☛ Murdoch_Cheers_on_Candidate’s_Arrest—and Authoritarianism⠀⇛ US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained New York City’s comptroller, Brad Lander, as he and other activists escorted immigrants in the halls of Manhattan’s federal immigration court house (AP, 6/17/25; New York Times, 6/17/25; Democracy Now!, 6/18/25). # ⚓ [Old] Mother Jones ☛ JD_Vance_Just_Decried_Political Violence._But_He_Endorsed_a_Book_Celebrating_It._–_Mother Jones⠀⇛ Even by today’s standards, Unhumans is extreme, transparently authoritarian, and evocative of Nazi propaganda in its insistence on the complete dehumanization of political opponents. The thesis of the book is that the right is up against “unhumans” intent on destroying civilization. It defines unhumans broadly—saying that the label applies to communists, socialists, leftists, and so-called progressives. In summarizing their argument, they write: [...] # ⚓ [Old] The Nation ☛ Jack_Posobiec_Calls_Leftists_“Unhuman.” JD_Vance_Seems_to_Agree.⠀⇛ Why isn’t Vance’s endorsement of Unhumans a major news story? Is it too serious? The cat lady tirade, after all, is funny, fitting the theme of “weird” that the Harris campaign has been pushing ever since adding Walz to the ticket. Unhumans is hard to be lighthearted about. It’s not an imaginary tryst with a sofa. There are no cute vermin memes out there, no pretty girls posting photos of themselves stamping on cockroaches. # ⚓ [Old] Current Affairs ☛ Trumpworld’s_Favorite_Writer_Says The_Right_Must_Emulate_Dictators_in_Battling_Leftist 'Unhumans'⠀⇛ Unhumans disturbed me because it seemed more than a little, well, fascist. It argues that leftist “unhumans” must be ruthlessly dealt with and praises dictators like Francisco Franco and Augusto Pinochet, who were known for inflicting torture, terror, and death on dissidents. It argues that extreme measures, such as the banning of all teachers unions, should be carried out immediately. And it recommends “an eye for an eye” justice: “That which is done by the communist and the regime must be done unto them.” Posobiec and Lisec are not always clear who exactly they think is “unhuman” and what the limits of this ruthlessness should be. They say they are against violence, but they also openly endorse Pinochet’s tactic of conducting extrajudicial executions by throwing people out of helicopters. Lisec also says that certain “actions and ideologies”—note, ideologies—deserve to be met with “capital punishment.” I find it alarming that a book making this case is circulating among people so close to the executive branch. # ⚓ [Old] Finland ☛ Criminal_Investigation_by_the_NBI_into Cable_Damage_in_the_Gulf_of_Finland_Concluded_-_Police⠀⇛ The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has completed its criminal investigation into the damage caused to cables in the Gulf of Finland on 25 December 2024. Based on the investigation, senior officers of the tanker Eagle S are suspected of aggravated criminal mischief and aggravated interference with telecommunications. # ⚓ The Record ☛ Finland_could_charge_Russia-linked_ship’s officers_over_cable_breaks_by_‘August_at_the_latest’⠀⇛ The suspects, who are believed to be Georgian nationals, were the three most senior officers on board the Eagle S, a Russia-linked oil tanker. The ship was seized by Finnish authorities after dragging its anchor along the seafloor for almost 62 miles, amid concerns over Russian sabotage and subversion activities in Europe. # ⚓ [Repeat] Digital Music News ☛ Google_Shareholder_Sues Google_&_DOJ_Over_TikTok_Extension⠀⇛ While Tan declined to specify whether he personally supports the TikTok ban, he believes the real issue is enforcement. “There is a federal law that says the TikTok app should not be on your store, and I can see TikTok on the app store,” he says. “Congress passed the law, the Supreme Court upheld it. It’s not debatable.” # ⚓ Variety ☛ Trump_'Flouting_the_Law'_With_TikTok_Executive Order,_US_Senator_Says⠀⇛ Sen. Mark Warner (D-Virginia), vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said in a statement after the White House said the president would delay enforcing the TikTok divest-or-ban law: “Once again, the Trump administration is flouting the law and ignoring its own national security findings about the risks posed by a PRC-controlled TikTok,” referring to the People’s Republic of China. # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ Trump_Delays_TikTok_Ban_or_Sale_for_Another 90_Days⠀⇛ The law that Trump’s orders have circumvented, signed by Joe Biden and upheld by the Supreme Court just before Trump’s second term began, is the Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, a product of concerns from Congress that foreign- owned apps such as TikTok could be used to spy on or politically manipulate Americans. On Jan. 20, his first day in office, Trump ordered the initial delay of a ban after the app briefly went dark — then, in April, he was forced to approve another 75-day delay because a potential deal to spin off a majority of TikTok to a U.S. company controlled by American investors unraveled when China balked at his tariffs on global trade. Any sale of TikTok by ByteDance is likely impossible without approval from Beijing. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Trump_gives_TikTok_another_ban_extension⠀⇛ Several lawmakers, including those who’ve criticized a divest-or-ban law for TikTok and ByteDance, have warned that Trump’s repeated extensions are untenable and illegal. After Trump’s last extension in April, Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chair Mark Warner (D-VA) told The Verge the move was “against the law” and said “the whole thing is a sham if the algorithm doesn’t move from out of Beijing’s hands.” Even before the second extension, Sens. Ed Markey (D-MA), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and Cory Booker (D-NJ), who oppose a ban of TikTok, wrote Trump that it would be “unacceptable and unworkable for your Administration to continue ignoring the requirements in the law.” They warned, “any further extensions of the TikTok deadline will require Oracle, Apple, Google, and other companies to continue risking ruinous legal liability, a difficult decision to justify in perpetuity.” # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ TikTok_deal_gets_another_extension_from Trump⠀⇛ Significant pressure has been placed on TikTok, known for its popular social video app, after a law was signed in 2024 that required TikTok’s Chinese parent company ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations of TikTok or the app would be banned in the U.S. The new order signed by Trump will give TikTok an extension until Sept. 17. During that period, the Justice Department will not enforce the 2024 law that would have banned TikTok in the country or impose penalties on companies that distribute TikTok, the order said. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ Democracy_Has_Enemies⠀⇛ Once we’ve secured our own democracy, our obligation doesn’t end—it begins anew. We owe justice to those whose freedoms are crushed by authoritarian regimes that meddled in our affairs, oppressed their citizens, and undermined democratic principles worldwide. Forgiveness is not on the table for tyrants. Justice is. # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ ‘He’s_moving_at_a_truly_alarming_speed’: Trump_propels_US_into_authoritarianism⠀⇛ A senator handcuffed, people snatched in public, military deployed – Trump’s slide towards autocracy has come quicker than critics feared # ⚓ SBS ☛ Australia's_new_move_against_Russia's_'shadow fleet'⠀⇛ It is largely made up of ageing Russian oil vessels, the number unknown but estimated to be hundreds, used to evade sanctions and trade in goods to help support Russia amid the war in Ukraine. o § Environment⠀➾ # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Hindustan Times ☛ Lucknow’s_first_grid_road_system_to take_shape_in_IT_City⠀⇛ Grid road system is a rectangular layout that provides multiple routes with a network of streets (laid out in a rectangular pattern), where roads intersect at right angles, creating a grid-like structure. Officials said the scheme is gaining momentum with active participation from local landowners through land pooling. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Honda_Enters_Space_Race,_Successfully Tests_Reusable_Rocket⠀⇛ On Tuesday, the Japanese conglomerate surprised us all by declaring that its research arm, Honda R&D, had successfully launched and landed its prototype reusable rocket, in a major step towards achieving its dream of suborbital spaceflight by 2029. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Cybertruck_Burned_So_Severely_That_Its Driver's_Bones_Disintegrated⠀⇛ A Cybertruck owner in Texas was burned to death after crashing his vehicle in a ditch and becoming trapped inside. According to a lawsuit filed by his widow and parents against the Elon Musk-led EV maker, the fire burned so hot that his bones literally disintegrated. # ⚓ Computers Are Bad ☛ 2025-06-19_hydronuclear_testing⠀⇛ The thermonuclear weapon was not the only post-WWII design innovation. At around the same time, Los Alamos developed a related concept: the boosted weapon. Boosted weapons were essentially an improvement in the efficiency of nuclear weapons. When the core of a weapon goes supercritical, the fission produces a powerful pulse of neutrons. Those neutrons cause more fission, the chain reaction that makes up the basic principle of the atomic bomb. The problem is that the whole process isn't fast enough: the energy produced blows the core apart before it's been sufficiently "saturated" with neutrons to completely fission. That leads to a lot of the fuel in the core being scattered, rather than actually contributing to the explosive energy. # ⚓ Hamilton Nolan ☛ The_Subway_Is_Not_Scary⠀⇛ When I say this, you may read my meaning to be, “The subways are fine if you are brave,” or “Riding the subway is a character-building because it teaches you to be tough.” No. I’m not saying that. I’m saying that the subway is fine. It is not scary. It is the standard mode of transportation for millions of New Yorkers. Six million rides a day. Let me try to put it in terms that a non-New Yorker can understand. “I am scared of riding the Google shuttle bus to my job at Google.” “I am scared of riding the Epcot monorail.” See how crazy that sounds? Same basic thing. Most of the people who live outside the city drive cars to work. This is far more dangerous than riding the subway. Last year there were ten murders in the NYC subway system, with well over a billion total rides taken. During the same time period, there were 253 traffic fatalities in New York City. One person dead every day and a half. Cars? Those things are fucking dangerous. The subway? You might be tempted to buy a churro. Could be damaging to your diet, yeah. But you can work it off. Don’t make such a big deal out of it. # ⚓ LRT ☛ Rail_Baltica_link_to_Vilnius_to_be_built_after 2030_–_ministry⠀⇛ The European-gauge railway connection between Vilnius and the Rail Baltica route will be constructed only after 2030, once the main line is completed, Ministry of Transport and Communications confirmed on Thursday. # § Overpopulation⠀➾ # ⚓ Crooked Timber ☛ Are_pro-natalists_living_on_the_same planet_?⠀⇛ What about the blue dotted lines? These assume drastic reductions in fertility. On the low side, that involves the entire world becoming like South Korea, where the combination of high employment rates for women and pre-modern male attitudes on gender role has produced reproduction rates below 0.5. But even in this extreme case, world population in 2100 only falls to 6 billion, the same as in 2000. I was around at the time, and did not feel as if there were too few people about. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ SpaceX's_Starship_explodes_again_... during_test_prep⠀⇛ The explosion occurred on a test stand, and it is unclear how much damage the facility sustained. According to SpaceX, "a safety clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation and all personnel are safe and accounted for." # ⚓ The Verge ☛ SpaceX_Starship_explodes_again,_this_time_on the_ground⠀⇛ The explosion follows others during the seventh, eighth, and ninth Starship flight tests earlier this year. “Initial analysis indicates the potential failure of a pressurized tank known as a COPV, or composite overwrapped pressure vessel, containing gaseous nitrogen in Starship’s nosecone area, but the full data review is ongoing,” SpaceX says. On X, the company called the explosion a “major anomaly.” # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ SpaceX_Starship_Explodes_in_Towering Fireball⠀⇛ The explosion – which sent a towering fireball into the air – happened at the Starbase launch facility at about 11:00 pm (0400 GMT Thursday), SpaceX and law enforcement officials said. # ⚓ Marcy Wheeler ☛ The_Golden_Teapot_Dome:_Mark_Kelly_Warns "This_Is_a_Very_Hard_Physics_Problem"⠀⇛ Elon can’t do what he’s already being paid to do. But Republicans are poised to provide billions more, probably to him, to take on a far more complex problem. And Mark Kelly, a guy who (even Whiskey Pete recognizes) would know, seems to suspect that Hegseth just fired the people who would tell him that this boondoggle is physically impossible to pull off. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Argentina_says_it_uncovered_Russian_spy_ring suspected_of_disinformation_efforts⠀⇛ According to Adorni, the group’s aim was to build a circle of individuals loyal to Russia’s interests who could carry out disinformation campaigns and influence operations against the Argentine state. He did not specify whether the Russians had been detained or whether they remain in Argentina. # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ Musk:_Grok_Telling_Truth_About_Right- Wing_Terrorism_Is_'Major_Fail'⠀⇛ Exactly how Musk’s team at xAI might tweak Grok to fit his distorted view of reality is anybody’s guess, though the results are unlikely to be subtle. Last month, X users were bewildered as the bot repeatedly invoked the specter of a supposed “white genocide” in South Africa, even when asked to weigh in on totally unrelated subjects. White people are not being systemically murdered in South Africa, where Musk was born, but he and Trump have repeatedly and falsely proclaimed that the nation’s white minority are victims of violent persecution, with the president fast- tracking the process of immigration to the U.S. for a handful of “refugees” fleeing this imaginary atrocity. Many speculated that Grok had been specifically altered to bring up South Africa at Musk’s instructions; even then, it had no way of substantiating the baseless notion of a “white genocide” occurring there. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Insight Hungary ☛ Police_cancel_Budapest_Pride,_mayor_says the_ban_is_'irrelevant'⠀⇛ The Hungarian police prohibited the Budapest Pride, citing their "capacity as assembly authorities," 24.hu reports. Gergely Karácsony announced on Monday that the Budapest Municipality will organize the Budapest Pride event on 28 June in partnership with the Rainbow Mission Foundation. At the time, the mayor said that the Budapest Pride is a municipal event and does not require official authorization. In an interview with The Guardian, Karacsony said, “There is currently no law that could ban a municipal event,” he said. “Obviously, anything can happen in Hungary. But we will come up with a plan C.” # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Why_Making_Social_Media_Companies_Liable_For User_Content_Doesn’t_Do_What_Many_People_Think_It_Will⠀⇛ The core issue is that most people fundamentally misunderstand both how content moderation works and what drives platform incentives. There’s a persistent myth that companies could achieve near- perfect moderation if they just “tried harder” or faced sufficient legal consequences. This ignores the mathematical reality of what happens when you attempt to moderate billions of pieces of content daily, and it misunderstands how liability actually changes corporate behavior. Part of the confusion, I think, stems from people’s failure to understand the impossibility of doing content moderation well at scale. There is a very wrong assumption that social media platforms could do perfect (or very good) content moderation if they just tried harder or had more incentive to do better. Without denying that some entities (*cough* ExTwitter *cough*) have made it clear they don’t care at all, most others do try to get this right, and discover over and over again how impossible that is. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Iran’s_internet_goes_offline_amid_claims of_‘enemy_abuse’⠀⇛ Internet watchers at CloudFlare and NetBlocks both report that internet traffic in Iran dropped precipitously late on Wednesday and has remained near zero since. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ How_My_Reporting_on_the_Columbia_Protests_Led to_My_Deportation⠀⇛ Unfortunately for Officer Martinez, I didn’t work with anyone. I participated in the protests as an independent student journalist who one day stumbled upon tents on the lawn. My writing, all of which is now publicly available, was certainly sympathetic to the protesters and their demands, but it comprised an accurate and honest documentation of the events at Columbia. That, of course, was the problem. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ JURIST ☛ Amnesty_International_calls_for_investigation_into alleged_police_torture_during_March_protests_in_Türkiye⠀⇛ Amnesty International on Wednesday spurred Turkish authorities to investigate widespread allegations of police violence during largely peaceful protests held across the country and sounded alarm of potential acts of torture under international law. # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ Turkey_ends_mandatory_equal_inheritance_sharing, sparking_concerns_over_women’s_rights⠀⇛ The Federation of Turkish Women’s Associations said the reform undermines gender equality. “This so-called 'consensual sharing' approach fails to offer women, who are already under economic and social pressure, a fair negotiation environment,” the group stated on social media. “It amounts to a violation of property rights.” # ⚓ Fireborn ☛ I_Want_to_Love_Linux._It_Doesn’t_Love_Me_Back: Post_4_–_Wayland_Is_Growing_Up._And_Now_We_Don’t_Have_a Choice⠀⇛ This post wasn’t supposed to exist — not yet. I meant to talk about bootloaders. About inaccessible USB installs. About the deafening silence between pressing the power button and hearing a screen reader. That post is still coming. But something bigger is happening now. # ⚓ TheEvilSkeleton ☛ It’s_True,_“We”_Don’t_Care_About Accessibility_on_Linux_|_TheEvilSkeleton⠀⇛ What do virtue-signalers and privileged people without disabilities sharing content about accessibility on Linux being trash have in common? They don’t actually really care about the group they’re defending; they just exploit these victims’ unfortunate situation to either fuel hate against groups and projects actually trying to make the world a better place. I never thought I’d be this upset to a point I’d be writing an article about something this sensitive with a clickbait-y title. It’s simultaneously demotivating, unproductive, and infuriating. I’m here writing this post fully knowing that I could have been working on accessibility in GNOME, but really, I’m so tired of having my mood ruined because of privileged people spending at most 5 minutes to write erroneous posts and then pretending to be oblivious when confronted while it takes us 5 months of unpaid work to get a quarter of recognition, let alone acknowledgment, without accounting for the time “wasted” addressing these accusations. § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Nintendo_Is_Already_Punishing_Switch_2_Users Over_Piracy_‘Suspicions’⠀⇛ When it comes to extracting ROMs, that is perfectly legal in America. Threats to render a $500 console functionally destroyed because someone engaged in legal activity isn’t just absurd, it should itself be illegal. As is often the case, Nintendo is asserting rights it simply doesn’t have here, with overly broad restrictions on a console that the buyer, in theory at least, owns. Well, we have yet to see Nintendo go that nuclear route of bricking devices, but it is already exacting punishments on owners of the Switch 2 for the use of a MIG Switch. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ X_vs._Music_Publishers:_Settlement_Looms_in Copyright_Clash_After_"Maximum_Pain"_Revelation⠀⇛ In a complaint filed at a Nashville federal court two years ago, Universal Music, Sony Music, EMI and others, accused X Corp of ‘breeding’ mass copyright infringement. The social media company allegedly failed to respond adequately to takedown notices and lacked a proper termination policy. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Google_Receives_Piracy_Shield_Orders_to Block_Pirate_Sites_in_Public_DNS⠀⇛ Italian telecoms regulator AGCOM has regularly criticized Google over its anti-piracy efforts, but the signs suggest that change is on the way. AGCOM says a system activated last month, relayed blocking orders received by the Piracy Shield anti- piracy system, directly to Google, which "promptly" blocked pirate site domains on its public DNS resolver. AGCOM says the system should be fully operational "as soon as possible" but warns that Google will still have to do more. * Linux_Journal_Might_Have_Become_the_Latest_Slopfarm_Targeting_"Linux", the_Trends_Are_Concerning_for_Dying_News_Sites * Gemini_Links_20/06/2025:_Summer_Updates_and_Hardware_Failures ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3287 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Gemini Links 20/06/2025: Gemini Protocol Turns 6!⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 20, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Moon_Women_Lake_Vintage_Art⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇There_are_4422_capsules._We_successfully_connected_recently to_3055_of_them.⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ permafrost_thawing⠀⇛ the permafrost is thawing thick ice turning into splinters that cannot carry any weight but shatter under pressure the numbing safety of the cold subsiding bruises, wounds old and new throbbing limb by limb sensation returning circulation renewing is this where I bleed out or am I strong enough to scab # ⚓ chicken_blog:_baby_book⠀⇛ I have really no other news.

And I have to say that the Parallel Systems course that I did this semester inspired me; I want to do something with graphics again! For this reason, I am seriously thinking of restarting my Dragonfly project [1]. This time I will keep it "under covers" until I have reached an actually satisfactory state; that way, I won't make any actual "promises" or "guarantees" (not that anyone cares, to be honest). It's also going to be in Zig, instead of C++ (I have to fuel my Zig addiction somehow). # ⚓ The_missing_bit_-_specifically_from_AI⠀⇛ There's longer thoughts to be written on conversations and texts that miss important points and carry on blathering. Or rather, ones that sound like that to me. The one that's sticking with me of late is one of the conversations that keeps happening around AI taking over the world. You get commentary on the gushing uncritical reporting that the big AI companies get - criticism of this trend feels perfectly justified - more and more it feels like those who have drunk the cool aid have lost all ability to critically think when confronted with AI. That said, I feel like the that doesn't appear in almost any discussion (or maybe it does and I just haven't seen those conversations) is about agency. Though I feel like amybe agency isn't quite the right word here. # ⚓ Getting_More_Out_of_my_Analog_Computer⠀⇛ I've been busy during most of my lunch breaks, enjoying the beautiful weather and taking walks up by the Tanana, so I haven't had much time for writing gemlog posts. I figured out a way to get a lot more out of my analog computer. I switched the integrator "1x" ports to become a direct connection to the summing junction (SJ). Then, I use banana cables that have resistors soldered inline. This way I can have as many inputs as I want on the integrators, without having to build a bigger patch panel. Fortunately, I have a friend who has many spare banana cables, so this is an affordable approach for me. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Blogging_platform_agnostic⠀⇛ I've found lately that I'm not a very loyal user of any one tool or service for writing. I used to be pretty hung up on keeping all my blogs and notes (short and long-form, private and public) in a structured single website, or digital notebook. Lately however, I feel like I am drifting away from that structure, and rather falling to whatever is under my nose at the time. I'm also quite enjoying this change. I think what has happened is I have just found some platforms that I really enjoy writing on, along with the communities with them, and I don't particularly want to part with them just to be in the one place. I hear the term Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere (POSSE) thrown around a bit. I get that maybe that helps a bit with keeping ALL your stuff on your main site, while you spit it out to various other places. However I feel like a lot is lost in that syndication. I feel like the writing is separated from the publishing. Author separated from reader. # ⚓ rust-gopher-server-rophy⠀⇛ This Gopher hole ran on sgopherd for well over a decade: https://uninformativ.de/git/sgopherd I'm not happy with this approach anymore. The script itself might be acceptable, but especially Bash could have lots of security issues. I want to reduce the attack surface. I'm currently experimenting with a Gopher server I wrote in Rust, called "rophy". It uses OpenBSD's pledge() and unveil() before it reads a single byte from the client. Similar to sgopherd, it is run through inetd: My code never runs as root and never does any socket stuff, it just reads from the file system and communicates with stdin/stdout. This is highly experimental and I'm not good at Rust yet, because this language is super hard to learn. Time will tell if I'm going to keep it or not. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

The weather has been mostly sunny except for short thunderstorms in the evenings, which started a forest fire about 25 miles east of Fairbanks. I heard that one was put out quickly. As far as the local flora, the vetch is still out but the flowers are rapidly deteriorating. I think the dandelion is all or mostly gone, but it has been replaced by a similar looking false dandelion — I think it is called sow thistle. I've also seen wild rose, and white yarrow is out here and there. # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_ADEHTNK_Wordo:_CAPON⠀⇛ o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ App-Based_Gambling_and_Socal_Media_Continues_To_Be_Great⠀⇛ Certain things are an ill, but we accept them. Sometimes it's because they've been a part of society basically forever and it seems impossible not not (drinking, though the prohibition had something to say), and sometimes it's a more gradual acceptance (marijuana legalization). Cynically, I'd also argue that governments only legalize such things when the benefits, such as sin taxes, outweigh the negatives. # ⚓ Using_aliases_for_complex_and_daily_terminal_commands⠀⇛ Using the terminal is made easier with aliases. I know most of you know how to use aliases but they are awesome and deserve a post on my blog. An alias is a short, easy to remember word or phrase, which substitutes a long and/or a complex Unix command. # ⚓ Hardware_failures_&_RSS⠀⇛ Turns out that my homeserver _is_ in fact suffocating (at least a little) by being placed in my closet all the time. That, and the unfortunate fact that back when I purchased the hardware, I opted for an 14th-gen Intel CPU gave me some trouble. As anybody by now probably knows, Intel needed to release multiple microcode patches as bug-fixes that in the end are supposed to keep bespoke CPUs from frying themselves under load. Unfortunately, I cannot say that my homeserver is idling _all_ the time, neither that it was idling all the time before those patches got released. This resulted in it starting to freeze up from time to time. The problem is that computers are indeed complex systems... and freezing systemd can have way too many causes. Even better, how is anyone that doesn't have a KVM supposed to access, say, the kernel console output of a frozen system? It was hard to debug. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
