This page or this article will be #10021 once published. #1 was published in
late September 2023 after we_had_left_the_US and set up the_system_developed
since_2022.


How did we get to 10k and how did we do it so fast? Well, for one thing the
interfaces (command line) are faster and more efficient. When I was using
WordPress to edit or write something I needed to deal with categories, I had to
do further work in the back end (lots of "moving parts" in such a "modern"
CMS), and the mind was sometimes occupied/distracted by DDoS attacks. I was
constantly monitoring the server; I had a whole monitor devoted to monitoring.


I estimate that our uptime so far this year is somewhere around 99.999%. We did
a few reboots to update kernels, but rebooting only takes a minute or less. We
did that maybe 4 times this year. In 180 days there are 15,552,000 seconds.


In my experience, the K.I.S.S. principles help when writing . They help a great
deal. More bloat does not beget efficiency and "bells and whistles" tend to
have a hidden cost.


Will we ever get back to WordPress? No Wayland! █

It's like "junk food", it's not information


Recent: Planet_Ubuntu_-_or_Ubuntu_Planet_-_Has_an_LLM_Slop_Problem_(Called
Faizul_"Piju"_9M2PJU)


Having identified a slopfarm, and perhaps having seen our repeated complaints
about this slopfarm creeping into Planet Ubuntu (which we follow over RSS),
Canonical seems to have tackled the issue. The last time anything from this
slopfarm crept into Planet Ubuntu was 22 days ago (June 4th, 2025).


This means that more recent slop didn't make it into Planet Ubuntu, e.g.:


    🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slop:_Sending_Weather_Data_to_APRS-IS_Using_Bash_and
                             OpenWeatherMap_API⦈_


As usual:


  🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇This_method_is_especially_useful_for_stations_that_don’t
have_a_dedicated_weather_station_but_want_to_share_weather_conditions_based_on
                               their_location⦈_


As we explained yesterday, "there_is_a_"Moral_Duty_for_"Linux_Sites"_to_Speak
Out_Against_LLM_Slop" and gradually tackle the problem. Alex Oliva compared it
to AIDS: "Artificial Intelligence Delusion Syndrome" (and SLOP: "Statistically
Likely, Ostensibly Plausible").


                     🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Richard_Stallman⦈_


Stop sending traffic to slopfarms. Whenever you send them any traffic at all,
they will get a boost. It'll only encourage them and give others an incentive
to do the same.


Richard Stallman calls the tools which make slopfarms "bullshit generators". I
used to call them "chaffbots" and various other things.


The upside though (reason for optimism), or so it would seem based on some
online zeitgeist, public opinion shifted strongly against those things and even
large corporations now openly admit it was hype and there's no solid use case
for those things (rebranding_plagiarism_as_"generative",_"advanced",_agentic",
"superintelligence"_etc._is_pure_marketing). It's no "arms race" or "era" or
"revolution" either.


Even the slop_companies_realise_there_is_no_financial/economic_viability. Of
course_there_isn't. They_only_ever_rack_up_lots_of_debt. █

Further south, near the "South China Sea", GNU/Linux is gaining also [1, 2]:

Over a year ago Microsoft staff kept drowning the media with FUD about "Linux"
because GitHub (proprietary jail run by NSA people) was a_social_engineering
hub_and_Microsoft_had_suffered_several_major_breaches_which_eventually_enabled
China_to_access_the_most_sensitive_communications_of_the_US_Government - to the
point where the Biden Administration publicly blasted Microsoft (only a few
days after Microsoft staff had spread 'gossip' about Linux and made a huge fuss
over something that never_caused_any_harm).


Looking at data from Taiwan (not China) and Maharlika (not Philippines, the
king is dead and Spain is out), there are encouraging signs. They hopefully
understand the true cost of using anything from Microsoft, the company with a
'hard-on'_for_back_doors. █

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ "Code of Conduct" Invoked When Fedora and
Red Hat Users (Since the 1990s) Don't Want to Use
Wayland⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧

The discussions get censored by unelected non-techs (at IBM) who had_spent_a
decade_working_in_an_airport, then moved to Red Hat


Yesterday we showed LLM_slop_being_used_to_promote_IBM's_business_agenda, which
basically superseded technical people and desires of the so-called 'community'
(i.e. not IBM staff). They just wanted to have choice or freedom. They_wanted
to_still_use_X. There is nothing wrong with that.


IBM doesn't get freedom. It probably_never_did.


This is how the discussion was halted:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_official_announcement_for_this_change_can_be_found_here.
 This_discussion_thread_[which_we_at_IBM_ignore]_falls_outside_of_our_official
 changes_policy_and_process,_and_therefore_will_be_closed._Please_provide_your
    feedback_on_the_official_Fedora_changes_thread_linked,_and_ensure_your
   discussion_is_inline_with_our_Code_of_Conduct._Any_comments_made_that_are
            outside_of_our_Code_of_Conduct_rules_will_be_removed.⦈_


To make matters worse, IBM is again_attacking_poor_people. How very inclusive.


IBM: blind people, DIE*!!


Also IBM: poor_people, DIE!! (Fedora 44 to phase out i686 support and BIOS
abandoned)


That is IBM "DEI".


Buy, buy, buy.


Or bye bye bye.


"IBM doesn't control Fedora Remixes," someone points out in IRC, albeit IBM
controls and vigorously_(even_abusively)_enforces_the_Fedora_trademark while it
shuts_out_clones (IBM has an army of lawyers; it doesn't need to send out Jono
Bacon to blackmail Ubuntu derivatives like "Satanic Edition").


"The Fedora license policy says you can call something that they don't endorse
a "Fedora Remix". I suppose you could rebase on their releases and ship XLibre
if you really wanted to. There's almost no real reason to prefer Debian
anymore."


Many decisions at Fedora are made by 'former' Red Hat (or IBM) staff. That's
another problem.


"The entire debate over everything is now moot and they just follow Fedora on
most things other than using RPM. Microsoft Lennart [of systemd and pulseaudio]
said one of the goals of his projects was to remove "pointless differences"
between distributions. What that means is remove them by force. Make it so hard
to go any other route that almost nobody bothers. Now if anyone even dissents
they get disappeared from Fedora. That can mean not agreeing with the party
line in a change discussion. Eventually you remove anyone who ever will
disagree."


Speaking of Lennart and a lack of choice...


The man who started IBM agreed_with_Hitler and worked with him. █

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ EPO Examiners Point Out to the Heads of
Delegations in the Administrative Council of the EPO That the "AI Policy" of
the Office is Illegal⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧

There's an open letter circulating this month, reaching out not only to EPO
staff but also to national delegates who enabled Benoît_Battistelli and António
Campinos. They reciprocated for bribery. That's how crooked this whole system
of governance is. It's just blatant corruption; they even bribe the media and
academia to cover up what's going on.


This time the subject is slop, or how the EPO management wants to replace staff
with slop, as previously covered in:


    * EPO_Workers_Caution_That_the_Officials_Are_Still_Illegally_Trying_to
      Replace_Staff_With_Slop_(to_Lower_Quality_and_Validity_of_European
      Patents)
    * EPO_Likely_Breaking_the_Law_Yet_Again,_This_Time_by_Using_Slop_for
      Patents_(to_Lower_Costs_While_Producing_Monopolies_That_Cause_Ruinous
      Lawsuits)
    * EPO_Poll:_68%_Dissatisfied_With_Quality_of_Slop_(Wrongly_Framed_as_"AI")
      for_Patent_Classification
    * The_EPO,_Europe's_Largest_Patent_Office,_Admits_Outsourcing_to_Microsoft
      Slop
    * European_Patent_Office_(EPO)_Illegally_Turning_to_Slop_Behind_Closed
      Doors,_Staff_Objects_to_This_Hidden_Catastrophe
Not only does today's EPO grant many European_software_patents - i.e. patents
which are both illegal and undesirable - it also wants to automate this process
using software.


"In an open letter sent on 17 June 2025 to the Heads of Delegations in the
Administrative Council," says the Central Staff Committee about its own letter,
"the Central Staff Committee (CSC) asks the Administrative Council to exert its
supervisory role and instruct EPO management to enter into genuine dialogue
with the staff representation on the AI Policy, to revise the “Leverage AI”
target of 90% AI-automated classification in the SP2028 and to put in place the
measures supported by staff in the resolution."


They've put that in an "open letter with the adopted resolution as annex." (We
replicated this annex here before, but we'll do so again)


Today we reproduce it below:

     § OPEN LETTER⠀➾


     ⚓  Call for revising the EPO AI Policy and the “Leveraging AI” SP2028
     objective⠀⇛


     Dear Heads of Delegations in the Administrative Council, Staff of the
     European Patent Office gathered on 5 June 2025 in a General Assembly
     attended by 906 participants1 for Munich and The Hague, and 53 in
     Berlin.


     A resolution on the EPO AI Policy2 was put to a vote and adopted by
     an overwhelming majority3: 638 voted in favour, 32 against and 23
     abstained. The outcome confirms the concerns of staff on the EPO AI
     Policy.


     The EPO announced its AI Policy on 5 March 2025 via an Intranet news
     item without consultation of staff and their representation, and
     without any decision from the Administrative Council. In the
     Technical and Operational Support Committee (TOSC) meeting on 29 and
     30 April, the EPO made a presentation4 on the AI Policy but did not
     table the policy itself. The Member States delegations only received

     2 “Resolution adopted on EPO AI Policy” [Annex]


     3 585 (MU/TH)+53(BE) in favour, 32 (MU/TH)+0 (BE) against, 23 (MU/TH)
     abstained


     4 CA/T 10/25


     =====================================================================
     The EPO AI Policy is not bound by international texts and just takes
     note of initiatives such as the Council of Europe Framework
     Convention on Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights, Democracy,
     and the Rule of Law of 17 May 2024, and the EU AI Act. While the EU-
     AI Act (Recital 6) defines “human-centric AI” as having the aim of
     increasing human well-being, the EPO restricts its “human-centric”
     approach as “final decisions at the EPO being taken by human actors”.
     This is insufficient. If there is no systematic human review of
     intermediate steps, AI influences the final decision and humans lose
     the control. As a consequence, the EPO AI Policy lacks boundary
     between “assistance” and “decision- making”.


     A Key Performance Indicator (KPI) “Leverage AI” was mentioned for the
     first time in the third quarter of 2024 in CA/105/24 and is defined
     in the Strategic Plan 2028 Progress Dashboard. The KPI measures the
     proportion of classification tasks that no longer require human
     intellectual classification (thanks to AI support), compared to the
     total number of classification tasks. The target is 90% by 2028.
     Instead of a mere “optimisation of human intervention”, it is a
     (quasi) supplanting of humans which is taking place in classification
     and a loss of expertise built over decades. It is even highly
     debatable whether 10% of fresh human intellectual classification
     would be sufficient for AI model training in the future.


     A poll run in February/March by the Central Staff Committee (CSC)
     among gérants (classification experts) gathered 247 responses and
     showed that 67.61% of them are dissatisfied with the quality of the
     AI classification. Accurate classification is essential for the
     quality of the search and examination. It is also a service to the
     users of the patent system and for the public.


     Finally, the EPO explicitly does not exclude using AI systems in
     employment matters: for recruitment, promotions and termination of
     service; for evaluating the eligibility of individuals for essential
     benefits and services, including healthcare coverage; for assessing
     the likelihood that an individual will engage in misconduct and in
     the course of investigations. Such AI systems bear the risk of
     categorisation, profiling and algorithmic bias, and should not become
     a substitute to human management.


     We can only ask the Administrative Council to exert its supervisory
     role and instruct EPO management to enter into genuine dialogue with
     the staff representation on the AI Policy, to revise the “Leverage
     AI” target of 90% AI-automated classification in the SP2028 and to
     put in place the measures supported by staff in the resolution.


     Sincerely yours,


     Derek Kelly
     Chairman of the Central Staff Committee


     =====================================================================
     § RESOLUTION adopted on EPO AI Policy⠀➾


     The staff of the EPO, gathered in a General Assembly,


     Noting that:


     • The President of the EPO adopted a Policy on the use of AI systems
     in February 2025 without consulting staff nor their representation;


     • The EPO hides behind its administrative autonomy under Article 4(1)
     EPC to consider international texts on AI (e.g. EU AI Act) as not
     legally binding;


     • The EPO defines its “human-centric” approach as “final decisions at
     the EPO being taken by human actors” while the EU AI Act (Recital 6)
     defines human- centric AI as having the aim of increasing human well-
     being;


     • The EPO explicitly does not exclude using AI systems in employment
     matters:


     ▪ for recruitment, promotions and termination of service1,


     ▪ for evaluating the eligibility of individuals for essential
     benefits and services, including healthcare coverage2,


     ▪ for assessing the likelihood that an individual will engage in
     misconduct and in the course of investigations3


     • In a poll run among gérants, 247 responded and 67.61% of them
     replied they are dissatisfied with the quality of classification
     provided by AI-autoclose;


     • AI systems hold the potential to support EPO staff in reducing
     routine workload and enhancing service quality — provided they are
     implemented transparently, responsibly, and with genuine consultation
     and training.


     Fearing:


     • the loss of human- oversight in intermediate steps and the
     resulting influence of AI in the final decision(s);


     • the categorisation and profiling of EPO employees by AI systems;


     • a detrimental effect on the quality of services provided by the
     EPO;

     management, section B, 2e


     =====================================================================
     Requests the President and the Administrative Council to:


     • bring the EPO AI Policy in line with the EU AI Act;


     • revise the SP2028 goal aiming at target proportion of 90% of
     classification tasks that no longer require human intellectual
     classification;


     • ensure that AI is not used as a substitute for human management;


     • systematically consult staff and their representation prior to any
     implementation of AI;


     • provide comprehensive training and dedicated time budget for staff
     to master AI tools relevant to their functions;


     • transparently disclose where and how AI systems are implemented
     (model used, training and dataset used);


     The Hague, Munich and Berlin, 5 June 2025


Important reminder: the recipients of this letter are being paid to play along
with those who keep pressing with their own illegal proposals. It's a broken
system, much like the notorious (annual) NDAA vote in the US.


As noted above, the media is paid not to talk about this stuff or to instead
relay a bunch of puff pieces for the EPO. █

Today we'll publish a pair of publications. These serve to illuminate attacks
on workers (whose health deteriorates and who are moreover compelled to give
illegal monopolies for corporations to use against Europe).


The EPO's union, or the SUEPO TH committee (staff union for people working in
the Netherlands), has a new publication which deals with the cuts. António
Campinos is cheapening things while granting more illegal patents. What does
that mean to the health of staff, set aside the economic harm to Europe?


SUEPO TH wrote about special leave: (i.e. more exceptional circumstances)


     Dear members, dear colleagues,

     We would like to remind you to request special leave via MyFips in
     case (among others) of an ill child, spouse, relative in the
     ascending line or parents-in-law. Special leave is fully paid, and
     travel days may be granted in addition if the situation requires you
     to travel during working time. If you are on annual leave and your
     relative falls sick, you can request special leave by emailing your
     Line Manager informing them that a special leave request will follow.
     Once the special leave is granted, the corresponding annual leave
     days will be re-credited.

     Our understanding is that if a staff member needs to attend to the
     needs of a sick child, spouse, relative in the ascending line or
     parent-in-law during working hours, and this compromises their
     ability to work, they must request – and be granted - special leave.
     Caring responsibilities need time and energy and cannot simply be
     “flexied” (i.e. “squeezed”) into a normal working day, and even more
     so for many of us who live far away from our loved ones. Doing so
     repeatedly could put your own health at risk.

     A note on medical certificates: MyFips and the CODEX refer to medical
     certificate, however doctors in the Netherlands do not issue such
     certificates, so we are the case stipulated by Article 59(3)(i): “if
     the doctor consulted refuses to issue a medical certificate, the
     employee_shall_supply_the_Office_with_that_doctor's_name_and_address”
     [emphasis added].

     [...]
     If you find yourself in any of these situations, apply for the
     special leave you are entitled to.


There is a lengthier publication from SUEPO TH, dated yesterday:


     INTERNATIONALE GEWERKSCHAFT IM EUROPÄISCHEN PATENTAMT
     STAFF UNION OF THE EUROPEAN PATENT OFFICE
     UNION SYNDICALE DE L'OFFICE EUROPEEN DES BREVETS


     25 June 2025
     su25005hp 0.2.1 – 4.3


     § Reminder special leave – illness in the family⠀➾


     Dear members, dear colleagues,


     We would like to remind you to request special leave in case (among
     others) of an ill child, spouse, relative in the ascending line or
     parents-in-law - see also Article 59(3) and Circular 22 Rules 6-
     9 ServRegs, CODEX in Annex below. Special leave is fully paid, and
     travel days may be granted in addition if the situation requires you
     to travel during working time.


     You can request special leave via MyFips > Time and Leave > Special
     Leave requests – available via the intranet or by typing q/myfips
     directly in your browser. If you are on annual leave and your
     relative falls sick, you can request special leave by emailing your
     Line Manager informing them that a special leave request will follow.
     Once the special leave is granted, the corresponding annual leave
     days will be re-credited.


     Our understanding is that if a staff member needs to attend to the
     needs of a sick child, spouse, relative in the ascending line or
     parent-in-law during working hours, and this compromises their
     ability to work, they must request – and be granted - special leave1.
     Caring responsibilities need time and energy and cannot simply be
     “flexied” (i.e. “squeezed”) into a normal working day, and even more
     so for many of us who live far away from our loved ones. Doing so
     repeatedly could put your own health at risk.


     A note on medical certificates: MyFips and the CODEX refer to medical
     certificates2, however doctors in the Netherlands do not issue such
     certificates, so we are the case stipulated by Article 59(3)(i): “if
     the doctor consulted refuses to issue a medical certificate, the
     employee_shall_supply_the_Office_with_that_doctor's_name_and_address”
     [emphasis added]. If you find yourself in any of these situations,
     apply for the special leave you are entitled to.


     As always, do not hesitate to contact us or your local staff
     committee The Hague for questions, comments or assistance.


     ___________


     1 This seems to also be the interpretation of the CODEX by the ILOAT,
     see cons. 16 and 17 in related judgment 4800.


     2 “as certified by a doctor (if the doctor consulted refuses to issue
     a medical certificate, the employee shall supply the Office with that
     doctor's name and address)”


     Related CSC publication: “What you should know about special leave”,
     CSC, 10.07.2024.


     Kind regards,
     Your SUEPO TH committee [...]


     ANNEX:


     Article_59(3):


     In addition to annual leave, a permanent employee may, on
     application, be granted special leave. In the following cases
     special leave in terms of working days shall be granted as shown:


     (a) marriage of the employee: four days;
     (b) change of residence of the employee: up to two days;
     (c) serious illness of spouse: up to three days;
     (d) death of spouse: four days;
     (e) serious illness of a relative in the ascending line: up to two
     days;
     (f) death of a relative in the ascending line: two days;
     (g) birth of a child: ten days, to be taken during the 14 weeks
     following the birth;
     (h) serious illness of a child: up to two days;
     (i) hospitalisation of a child aged 12 or under or very serious
     illness of a child, as certified by a doctor (if the doctor
     consulted refuses to issue a medical certificate, the employee shall
     supply the Office with that doctor's name and address): up to five
     days;
     (j) marriage of a child: two days;
     (k) death of a child: four days;
     (l) death of the wife during maternity leave: the number of calendar
     days corresponding to the remaining maternity leave; if the deceased
     wife is not an employee, the remaining maternity leave is determined
     by applying the provisions of Article 61, by analogy.


     The conditions and rules relating to special leave shall be laid
     down by the President of the Office after consulting the relevant
     joint committee.
     In view of particular family circumstances the President of the
     Office may grant leave in addition to special leave under the first
     sub-paragraph of this paragraph as compensation for the travelling
     time involved.


     Circular_22:


     Rule_6
     Article 59
     Special leave with pay
     (1) All applications for special leave, and for additional leave for
     travel time in connection with any case of special leave, must be
     referred to the Human Resources Department with the recommendation
     or otherwise of the person competent to countersign applications for
     annual leave.
     (2) Applications must be submitted on a standard leave form as early
     as possible in advance of the requested date of commencement of the
     leave.
     Where the circumstances are such as to render it impossible for the
     employees concerned to obtain prior authorisation, they should
     endeavour to inform their line manager of these circumstances
     without delay and submit a written application as soon as possible
     thereafter.
     (3) In addition to the cases provided for in Article 59(3), special
     leave may be granted inter alia in the following cases and up to the
     following limits:


     (a) Death of another immediate relative (e.g. grandchild, brother,
     sister) 2 working days
     Serious illness of parents-in-law 2 working days
     Death of parents-in-law 2 working days
     Death of any other person related by blood or marriage 1 working day


     For the purposes of special leave, dependants within the meaning
     of Articles 69 or 70 of the Service Regulations will be regarded as
     Children.


     (b) Voting in national elections or referenda in the country of
     origin,
     Court appearances:
     Necessary periods determined by the President in each case
     (c) Transfer to another place of employment 5 working days,
     including
     travel time


     (d) Further training: examinations
     Employees may, on request, be granted up to ten days' special leave
     per year for further training and/or examinations. In granting such
     leave, due account will be taken of the requirements of the service.
     This provision applies to requests from staff for permission to
     attend
     further training courses and to sit examinations on their own
     initiative.
     Special leave for training purposes can be granted in the following
     cases:
     − to enable employees to sit examinations (not to prepare for them)
     − for 50% of the duration of the course for attending language
     courses
     in one of the three official languages away from the employee's
     place of employment.


     Three days' special leave may be granted, on request, to employees
     who pass the European qualifying examination, by way of compensation
     for the time spent preparing for that examination. Employees should
     apply for such leave within six months of the date of being informed
     by the Examination Board that they have passed.


     (e) Special leave will be supplemented, where applicable, by the
     necessary travelling time.
     The duration of the journey and the route will be calculated in
     accordance with the regulations governing duty travel. The following
     travel times will be considered as the minimum necessary:
     (i) ½ a day when the distance between place of employment and
     destination in either direction is between 100 and 400 km or the
     journey in either direction takes between four and eight hours;
     (ii) ½ a day each way when the distance in either direction is
     between
     401 and 800 km or the journey in either direction takes between
     eight and twelve hours;
     (iii) 1 day each way when the distance in either direction is more
     than
     800 km or the journey in either direction takes over twelve hours.
     However, this regulation does not apply where the entire travel time
     required falls on a weekend or public holiday.
     Travelling time for the outward or return journey will be credited
     if the journey is actually made on a working day (during working
     hours).
     This applies even if the weekend or a public holiday could have been
     used instead.
     Example:
     − special leave on Monday, 8 July and Tuesday, 9 July
     − journey to a destination over 800 km away
     − outward journey on Friday, 5 July: one travel day credited
     − return on Wednesday, 10 July: one travel day credited
     On both travel days the employee is absent from work throughout
     working hours.


     Rule 7
     Article 59
     Special leave for the birth of a child
     (a) Entitlement
     (i) An employee is entitled to ten working days' special leave upon
     the
     birth of a child, under the conditions laid down in Article 59 of
     the Service Regulations. Multiple births (twins, triplets, etc.)
     confer a single special leave entitlement.
     (ii) The special leave may be supplemented once, where applicable,
     by
     the necessary travelling time (see Rule 6(3)d)).
     (iii) The child must be considered dependent within the meaning of
     Article 69 of the Service Regulations.
     (b) Procedure
     (i) The employee must provide the Human Resources Department with
     the birth certificate issued by the relevant national administrative
     authority.
     A certified translation into one of the official languages may be
     requested.
     (ii) The leave must be taken during the 14 weeks following the
     birth.


     Rule 8
     Article 59
     Special leave
     Hospitalisation of a child of twelve years of age or under, or very

And meanwhile it's reported that the BoA (the EPO's kangaroo courts) are
blending in with the_EU's_kangaroo_courts, which are both illegal and
unconstitutional. Europe is becoming another Russian Federation, except in
name. It's a dictatorship governed by and for oligarchs. It does not care about
Europe, people's welfare, science, technology, and entrepreneurship. People_are
getting_robbed_under_false_pretences_like_"innovation".


In Part_I (this morning) we spoke about "an ill child, spouse, relative in the
ascending line or parents-in-law", showing what EPO staff is meant to do when
such illnesses happen.


This morning - not in the afternoon as previously planned - we quote again the
SUEPO TH committee (EPO union leaders in the Netherlands) as saying: "We urge
the Office to respect the full scope of the Appeals Committee’s
recommendations, halt the implementation of restrictive measures that
contradict internal legal opinions, apply the decision on exam fees and
administrative costs retroactively to all staff concerned, and engage in
genuine dialogue with staff representatives and unions to restore trust and
fairness."


This committee speaks of "Education & Childcare Reform" in a new publication
citing an_internal_one_from_the_Office:

     UNION SYNDICALE DE L'OFFICE EUROPEEN DES

     EPO’s Continued Resistance to Internal Justice: GCC Meeting Outcomes
     and Next Steps


     Dear SUEPO members, dear colleagues,


     Following our previous communication, we wish to update you on the
     developments from the GCC meeting held on 02 June 2025, where
     document GCC/DOC_10/2025 was discussed.


     Despite the clear and well-reasoned recommendations of the Appeals
     Committee in favour of staff, the Office has regrettably chosen to
     maintain its restrictive stance, as also confirmed in this
     publication on the matter. The proposed ECR guidelines not only fail
     to incorporate the broader interpretations of Article 71 ServRegs as
     advised by the Appeals Committee but also introduce additional
     limitations that further erode staff entitlements and are not in line
     with the Serv. Regs.


     The APC also recommended that the Office revise its procedure and
     refrain from instructing or pressuring staff to pre-emptively deduct
     part of the school’s invoiced fee when submitting requests to HR.
     Instead, such deductions should be handled directly by HR.
     Regrettably, even this straightforward procedural suggestion has been
     disregarded by the EPO.


     Even more concerning is the Office's decision to limit the favourable
     outcomes of appeals on exam fees and administrative costs solely to
     the individual Appellants and the specific school years contested,
     rather than applying them broadly to all affected staff. This
     selective treatment is deeply problematic, as it fosters litigation
     over dialogue and breeds mistrust instead of building confidence. As
     a result, to safeguard your rights, you are left with no choice but
     to file a request for review and follow up with an internal appeal.


     =====================================================================
     Exams fees & Administration costs
     If you incurred exam fees and/or administrative costs after the
     implementation of the reform that were not reimbursed, you may
     request full reimbursement by contacting hrservices@epo.org within
     three months of the relevant appeal decision, which was published on
     15 May 2025. If your request is denied, you may file a Request for
     Review within three months of receiving the refusal. Should you
     receive a negative reply from HR, please contact us at
     hague@suepo.org for support.


     School Trips
     The Office has chosen to disregard the Appeals Committee’s
     recommendations regarding school trips. Please be assured that SUEPO
     TH remains fully committed to defending this issue before the
     Tribunal, with the aim of securing a favourable outcome aligned with
     the Appeals Committee’s findings. However, given the Office’s current
     stance, there is no guarantee that a positive judgment will be
     applied to all staff. We therefore strongly advise you to file your
     own Request for Review annually for any disputed costs. For the 2025/
     26 school year, this can be done within three months of receiving a
     rejection via the Education Allowance Portal.


     Other costs deemed as indirect
     The new guidelines include several costs that HR considers indirect
     and therefore not reimbursable under Article 71 Serv. Regs. These
     include, for example, mandatory campus fees and all fees charged by
     national schools in the Netherlands—contrary to the Office’s
     longstanding practice and independent of the education allowance
     reform. If part or all of the school fees are not reimbursed, you may
     consider filing a Request for Review (RfR). Feel free to contact us
     at hague@suepo.org if you need any help or advice on the matter.


     Conclusion


     Despite staff representatives raising several concerns, the Office
     showed little willingness to engage in meaningful discussion or
     consider compromise solutions. We can only reiterate that this
     continued disregard for social dialogue and for the internal justice
     system undermines the authority of the Appeals Committee and raises
     serious questions about the Office’s commitment to fair and lawful
     treatment of its staff. It also risks increasing litigation before
     the ILOAT, contrary to the Office’s stated goals.


     We therefore urge the Office to respect the full scope of the Appeals
     Committee’s recommendations, halt the implementation of restrictive
     measures that contradict internal legal opinions, apply the decision
     on exam fees and administrative costs retroactively to all staff
     concerned, and engage in genuine dialogue with staff representatives
     and unions to restore trust and fairness.


     =====================================================================
     SUEPO will continue to monitor the implementation of the ECR
     guidelines and support affected staff in pursuing further appeals
     where necessary.


     We thank all members for their continued support and solidarity. Your
     engagement strengthens our collective voice.


     Kind regards,


     Your SUEPO TH committee – M18B10 and De Bruyn Kopsstraat, 15,
     Rijswijk


     The bargaining power of staff increases with every new SUEPO member –
     please consider joining SUEPO TH if you have not done so yet. And a
     warm thank you to all our members: you are the backbone of our union!

The public or potential job applicants need to see this and to know this. The

workers way too little. It_also_robs_its_own_pensioners. False promises
everywhere. █

9 days ago the FSF started_a_'recruitment'_drive_for_new_members. It has since
then added 36 new associate members - that's an average of 4 per day.

Just over a day ago Dr._Miriam_Bastian_(FSF)_wrote: "When the Free Software
Foundation (FSF) began forty years ago, its primary focus was providing a legal
home for the GNU operating system and developing vital GNU software like Bash
and the GNU Core Utilities (Coreutils). As time has gone on, our work
advocating for free software rather than simply writing it has become more
varied and elaborate, partially in response to the billions of dollars
corporations like Microsoft and Apple spend promoting proprietary software that
denies its users freedom. We now have more campaigns than ever, some targeting
threats like surveillance and Digital Restrictions Management, others
introducing users to free software or fighting for the right to repair. All our
campaigns defy dystopia and work toward a future in which all users can enjoy
user freedom. Twice a year, the tech, licensing, and campaigns teams inform
you, the FSF's supporters, on what we've accomplished."


Among the points: "We voiced our outrage about Microsoft's latest injustice to
require a hardware TPM module for Windows 11 users as part of our Defective by
Design campaign. We then asked you to keep putting pressure on Microsoft, since
Microsoft tyrannically decided to cease security updates for Windows 10".


"The Free Software Foundation (FSF) turns forty on October 4, 2025," the_FSF
said_this_past_Xmas_Eve. We hope they'll make the most of this anniversary. The
FSF's Board has since then become even more aligned with the core mission (as
laid out in 1985).


Advocacy and messaging by the FSF are critical. If more people understood the
underlying principles, more of them would flock to Free software overnight. █

"The French city of Lyon has decided to ditch Microsoft’s Office suite and
plans to adopt Linux and PostgreSQL," reports_The_Register about a large city
in France, a place known for all sorts of things of international significance.


It seems noteworthy that Vista 11 "Growth" (so-called!) stalled in France, at
least based_on_statCounter. Perhaps they look carefully before they jump; or,
to quote an idiom I learned today, "measure twice, cut once."


Compared to the UK, France is adopting Free software quite fast. This has long
been known and publicly pointed out. French people's relationship with
Americans isn't the same as Brits'. The languages aren't even the same, set
aside cultural difference, competition, and suspicion (because of history).


We hope that more French cities - maybe Paris - will follow Lyon. █

Here's how to weaken and deprecate monopolies in 10 simple steps:


   1. Identify the core lies they rely on (e.g. everyone_chooses_our_products)
   2. Confront the lies in (1) with simple facts
   3. Repeat (2) until public consensus changes
   4. Highlight alternatives
   5. Build more alternatives
   6. Watch the monopoly as it loses balance/inertia
   7. Point out that the monopoly is unstable
   8. Explain why the alternatives already replace the monopoly
   9. Explain why those alternatives will inevitably become the new 'monopoly'
  10. Wait for people top flock to the cool "new" thing
Before the iPod era many considered Apple to be "dead company walking". Then
mobile appliances took off, as phones became more versatile - to the point
where many were starting to change habits, e.g. using them for tasks previously
performed on a laptop/desktop.


Apple is not Free software (it's an opponent of it), but it showed how quickly
an underdog can get back on top. Before Microsoft Free software was "the norm".

"Arvind [IBM_CEO] is cutting costs (layoffs, PIPs, forced RTO, etc...) like
crazy. IBM offices are closing all over the place in the US." -10_hours_ago


"Microsoft employees aren’t getting much time to take a breath between layoff
rounds as thousands could be let go in early July," says_a_Bill_Epsteingate-
funded_site_today ("Reports of coming layoffs swirl at Microsoft as workers
worry they’re next").


Quoting further (from a pro-Microsoft publisher): "Bloomberg News reported last
week that Microsoft was planning another round, aimed at thousands of people
with a heavy emphasis on sales and marketing roles. The outlet reported Tuesday
that more cuts were coming for Microsoft’s gaming division, doubling down on a
report from The Verge in early June that gaming layoffs were looming around the
end of the fiscal year on June 30."


Just like the last time, it's vastly bigger than they disclose. The "unsaid"
part is, many of those "Redmond-based" and "based in Washington" staff that the
above article alludes to are not Americans but foreign workers on visas.
Microsoft already cheapened (and overworked to death) its workforce as much as
it could. It wasn't enough. So now it's cutting... and cutting... and cutting.
At one point it'll simply employ people with no coding experience and call that
"AI" (to make excuses for poor code quality). The same has been happening at
IBM. Watch IBM's_CEO_kowtowing_to_dictators_who_can_bail_him_out:

Oil, not science.


Two weeks ago someone wrote, regarding Microsoft: "I'm noticing more and more
that people, especially young developers, are not testing their code properly.
They'll run code quality tools and use that to say their code is good quality.
They rely on unit tests instead of actually testing their code by hand or
writing full functional test cases."


"It’s AI," someone responded 3 hours ago, "you can’t fire it."


They lie about it being "AI" [1, 2]. It's just a way to tell investors it's not
the business that's failing but rather it's "AI" - whatever that is! -
succeeding. █

Last week our_capsule served 1,104,408 Gemini requests. The number of people
who use Gemini Protocol seems to be growing, not just the number of of people
who host_or_operate_Gemini_capsules.


Two_weeks_ago_Chris_Brannon_said_that_he_was_moving_everything_to_a_static
site. As far as we can gather he is still alive, he's still in_Gemini, and he
inspired us (in IRC) to keep things accessible for blind people like him. He
kept complaining about sites that hide behind Clownflare and the "modern" Web
in general. It's torture for people like him. █

Ads as 'Articles'⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧


posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 26, 2025


In order to better understand what Slashdot (the_company, not the site) does to
Linux Journal, as per the articles at the bottom, I've checked their own words
in the site:


                   🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇About_Linux_Journal⦈_


They are very clear that "Linux Journal is currently owned by Slashdot Media."
Many old articles disappeared (PIA didn't pass everything).

             this_uniquely_influential_group,_please_contact_us.⦈_


So it's_basically_another_BetaNews. They just try to 'monetise' the 'brand' -
i.e. same as the_marketing_company-owned_ZDNet, with sponsors (clients) like
IBM and the Linux_Foundation. It might seem like news, but they don't say who
pays for it or why particular_topics are covered_in_particular_ways. We_are
looking_at_you,_SJVN. █

If you see many pro-LF articles in LWN (they've_just_released_one, it's_LF
spin), remember who the chief editor works for and who sponsors many of the
articles.

Microsoft is rapidly collapsing


The number of employees in "Microsoft Gaming" is 20,100 (2024), according to
Microsoft Wikipedia (well, Wikipedia but edited/curated_by_Microsoft_staff).
Most of that staff was just 'inherited'_from_Activision, so when this week's
news reports say ~2,000 XBox workers will face cuts - not an_obscene_or
unbelievable_assertion given that sales collapsed and whole products recently
got canceled - they might in fact be low-balling or downplaying the scope,
magnitude etc. Studios will get shut down as well.


The rumour about the second wave being a lot bigger than the "first" (actually
about eighth this year) is starting to seem very credible, very potent.

Some "tech" update about a country mostly mentioned in relation to political
violence


Mozambique, a country almost_1.5_times_the_size_of_France, never showed signs
of considerable GNU/Linux adoption. This changed this year. These_new_figures
show steady increases, maybe related to politics or violence, or maybe related
to what (or how) statCounter is measuring. █

SLAPPs only backfired on the EPO, which was instantaneously elevated in
coverage priority


In July 2014, some time after we had moved, we finally kicked off a series
about EPO_corruption. We wrote_about_it_as_recently_as_2_hours_ago and since
2014 we wrote a lot about that topic. We've probably published over 5,000
articles about the EPO alone. We're told that "almost everyone" at the EPO
reads this site. The EPO employs about 7,000 people, not counting contractors
and stakeholders.


When the_EPO_lawyered_up_against_me I promised myself to focus on the EPO even
more. That has paid off. I have no regrets. I only wish I had greater capacity.


The same is happening to Microsoft right now. We may spend the next 5 years or
10 years or whatever it takes (in terms of time) to document the Microsoft
SLAPPs. We have literally hundreds of pages full of material about it and
they're not published only because the cases must finish first. We generally
refrain from divulging in-suit material. It's common sense and common courtesy.


Regarding the EPO, later today we'll show that staff continues to be oppressed.
Apparently granting millions of monopolies to non-European companies (in order
for them to exploit those monopolies inside Europe) isn't good enough. The EPO
wants obedient slaves that do not properly examine patent applications on tight
deadlines and if obedience is "insufficient", then they try to outsource tasks
to slop. It is a major, major scandal, which we shall revisit a lot in years to
come. See for example:


    * EPO_Workers_Caution_That_the_Officials_Are_Still_Illegally_Trying_to
      Replace_Staff_With_Slop_(to_Lower_Quality_and_Validity_of_European
      Patents)
    * EPO_Likely_Breaking_the_Law_Yet_Again,_This_Time_by_Using_Slop_for
      Patents_(to_Lower_Costs_While_Producing_Monopolies_That_Cause_Ruinous
      Lawsuits)
    * EPO_Poll:_68%_Dissatisfied_With_Quality_of_Slop_(Wrongly_Framed_as_"AI")
      for_Patent_Classification
    * The_EPO,_Europe's_Largest_Patent_Office,_Admits_Outsourcing_to_Microsoft
      Slop
It's also related to the Microsoft SLAPPs because the_serial_strangler_from
Microsoft_worked_on_slop_tools. This week's ruling on copyrights and so-called
"AI" (it's all over the news right now) shows that works acquired without
payment or expressed consent for the "plagiarism blender" are impermissible for
use. The word "piracy" is used a lot. Will Microsoft be forced to shell out 9
billion dollars in the class-action lawsuit? Will it try to settle in order to
save face? More_SLAPPs_from_more_firms? █

Oh, so Wayland is finally ready?


Great!


I thought it was ready last year.


And last year I thought it was ready in 2023.


Dang!


Phoronix told me it was ready in 2020.


Goddamn!


Phoronix has always been telling me (for a decade already) that X was dead or
dying.


Oh, wait.


Really?


It's still being developed?


Can I use it?


Nice one.


That still works for me:


roy@vonick:~$ uptime
 09:23:48 up 625 days, 15:08, 37 users,  load average: 0.52, 0.60, 0.72
But Wayland would also run OK for almost 2 years, right?


Oh.


Wait, it also lacks support for X tools, right?


roy@vonick:~$ x
Display all 153 possibilities? (y or n)
OK, so I cannot use Wayland. It does not support many things that I use all the
time. I need a system I can rely on, I am not a tinkerer.

But it's new, you say... right?


Wayland started in.


Wait a second.


It started in 2008.


So...


Let me put it like this...


Why is it still barely adopted?


Is there something wrong with Wayland?


Maybe X_just_works_OK_for_most_people. It_is_secure_enough_for_OpenBSD.


We'll stay with X then.


Wait, are you saying people who insist on still using X are nazis? (Like_IBM)

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ On "Weak
Claims"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧

Take lessons from yourselves:


     🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Lessons_in_unjustified_threats,_failed_injunction
                 applications_and_the_pursuit_of_weak_claims⦈_


Yesterday the "guns_for_hire" (hired by a_Microsofter_who_was_in_prison after
his attacks on women) wrote: "Lessons in unjustified threats, failed injunction
applications and the pursuit of weak claims".


For the record, they sent me unjustified threats, repeatedly tried injunctions
(censorship), and the claims are outright_ridiculous_copypasta. They don't care
as long as they get paid. This firm was already notorious for this before it
knew me and months earlier it went after a person who had merely exposed
corruption [1, 2]. They fancy working for bad people against good people [1, 2]
as they reckon there's "market demand" for what no other law firm is willing to
advance. Heck, their_clients_don't_even_live_here!


For instance, they kept sending me many_threats_on_behalf_of_the_Serial
Strangler_from_Microsoft_between_October_2024_until_February_2025. It was about
stuff that I published about 4 years ago! Yes, not kidding!


Anyway, I found that tweet of theirs funny. It's like they talk about
themselves. █

Behalf_of_Bad_People_From_Microsoft_in_Another_Continent


Lawyers easily give away their lack of digital literacy or poor comprehension
of inherently technical matters. Most of them never studied technology, so no
"unmasking" is needed. They talk down on people (perched on their high horse),
but that disguises their insecurities in fields other than a certain specialty
in a certain area - usually a rather narrow niche - of law.


Brett Wlison LLP staff seem to have panicked a bit over this_post, then a very
short time afterwards they sent E-mail (totally redundant one) to show they
know also how to send two sentences without 3.5MB of cruft (they sent the same
redundant message by post). Courts don't mind such stuff, it's just that it
shows the lawyers who progress SLAPPs in IT (e.g. for a serial strangler from
Microsoft) do not get the very basics in IT. Progress in their IT department?
Who, Mee?


Technical Litigants in Person (LIPs) have many real and concrete advantages,
for they can explain in very simple terms very complex concepts. Processes and
protocols can be learned on the go and judges tend to be lenient or fairer
towards them. They recognise nobody is a jack of all trades.


It's generally true that some technical people act as attorneys (or similar),
but they tend not to be so good at the "art" of litigation, which requires
experience.


I very much look forward to future articles which explain how SLAPPs works and
how to properly handle them. A lot of knowledge about this can and will be
shared when we campaign_for_reform and pursue_compensation. It'll probably end
like_it_did_a_decade_ago. █

Microsoft at 0.20% "Market Share"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧

And the June_2025_Web_Server_Survey_is_about_to_come_out; it'll show Microsoft
at around 2%


Yesterday we wrote that "Windows used to dominate" in relation to one
particular country. An important distinction, however, is that "Windows used to
dominate the desktop," a reader responded. "It never dominated anywhere else
and has been an also-ran or no-show in several areas including mobile computing
and supercomputing."


"Implying that Microsoft dominated anywhere other than the desktop is not just
wrong but part of their marketing strategy."


"Even areas where there are a lot of physical machines attributed to Microsoft,
such as mail servers, are due to the bad many servers to one service ratio
required by Microsoft. In contrast, on normal GNU/Linux one can have multiple
mail, web, file, *and* print services all on one and the same piece of
hardware."


That's a fair point. We need to remind people that desktops and laptops decline
(in proportion to other client devices) - as we showed earlier this week,
citing statCounter - and at the "back end" GNU/Linux is already dominant and
has long been dominant. █

                       The last few years have been really bittersweet for
                       me online. Four years ago, Clarissa asked me if I'd
                       heard about Geminispace - how it's a bit like
                       gopher, a bit like the web - to which I said, no I
                       haven't. She gave me a few links. I read them and
                       was intrigued. The easiest way to get started being
                       via pubnix. I remembered those from the 90s and
                       00s. sdf.org, I think, though my memory may be a
                       little off. A whole revolution in the 2010s
                       creating a constellation of these, now called
                       tildes. Get an account, get writing.


                       I was kind of taken by this. It had been a long,
                       long time since I'd had anything resembling a net
                       presence that wasn't a simple social media profile.
                       Same as most of us, I'm sure. I kept up personal
                       homepages until the mid 00s. These were varying
                       degrees of personal. All under my name, but
                       designed for different audiences. This one for my
                       Computer Science studies. That one on my ISP's
                       webspace, for friends and people who know me
                       offline. Another one elsewhere, on friends'
                       personal domains, where I was still [winter], but
                       first name only, the hope being that the people I
                       didn't want to find me, wouldn't. And they did. And
                       so in the end, that was maybe the end of the
                       website as a deeply personal conduit for me. I kept
                       up on forums. One for the TV show Andromeda (Ex
                       Isle). Another for the open source game Vega
                       Strike. Later, the Harmony Central guitar forums,
                       while they were still good. But into the 00s I
                       could feel my activity dropping off, the
                       gravitational pull of social media too strong. Why
                       go on forums when I can catch up with all my old
                       friends on Facebook? It's hard to keep in mind how
                       revolutionary it felt then, before it started
                       facilitating genocide, before it started putting AI
                       martial arts fighters and thicc babes up and down
                       my feed. It used to be good, and by the time it
                       wasn't, it had trapped people in its stupefying,
                       infinite feed.

                             I think I've written about this a couple of
                             times now.


                             Every time I start an old PC, like my Pentium
                             133 from 1997, this effect becomes
                             immediately obvious: If that computer is
                             running period-appropriate software, the UI
                             doesn't feel all that much slower than modern
                             PCs.


                             Sure, individual tasks like image processing
                             will be objectively slower. But not the UI.
                             Not as much as you'd expect from a machine
                             that's 20-30 years old.

                       Various problems conspire against good sleep, most
                       notably staying up to late and maybe eating too
                       late (mostly an internal problem) but also noise
                       pollution and light pollution (mostly an external
                       problem). As for fixing or making those problems
                       less bad, getting out of bad habits can be
                       difficult.

                  Israeli_Society⠀⇛


                       Language, style, content, opinions, or lifestyle –
                       all of these can make the Israeli creator a
                       "muktza" in a society that sanctifies conformism,
                       loyalty to the establishment, heterosexuality,
                       youth, beauty, money and power.Those who do not
                       meet this standard are seen as a problem – as a
                       person who should be ridiculed, repressed, or at
                       most marginalized. The stigma against mental
                       illness, homosexuality, left-wing views, secular or
                       simply different – is destructive. These artists
                       were not given a foothold, neither in the
                       establishment nor in society; Sometimes not even in
                       the family.


                       Israeli society finds it difficult to accommodate
                       those who do not follow suit. As it becomes more
                       conservative, the spaces in which it is permissible
                       to be "other" are eroded. These artists, such as
                       Avidan, Dayan, Reuveni, Belhassan and Kaniuk, found
                       themselves dealing not only with illness,
                       rejection, anxiety and depression – but also with
                       the erasure of their work, and sometimes also with
                       the erasure of their name.

                       in a decentralized and strictly ordered way.
                       Filespooler takes commands from a source and writes
                       them to jobs, which can be piped into a stream or
                       written to a file system. A destination, not
                       necessarily on the same machine, then processes the
                       jobs and executes the commands in the exact order
                       they were created, regardless of the order in which
                       the jobs were sent or received.

                             Well, I've not updated this for a while. I
                             keep meaning to, but my executive function is
                             woeful at best and it's all I can do to
                             breathe in and out most of the time these
                             days.

                             isn't helping either.


                             Still, I've been trying to make the best of
                             it. I've been going to a lot of metal gigs
                             (plus Betty Boo. I love The Boo), which has
                             been a lot of fun. We're off to Bloodstock in
                             August. I'm old and everything hurts, but
                             fuck it. That's how I've decided I'm going
                             out.

                             was largely self-taught.

                 Yesterday I posted_from_a_Brisbane_coffee_shop. My recent
                 Japan_travel_adventures were among the best received
                 posts I’ve ever written, so I thought I’d do another
                 silly one for this day trip :). I only had my camera
                 phone on me and almost no time, so the pictures were
                 mostly taken from the back seat of a car as we hurridly
                 went from one place to the next.


                 Occasionally some of at the company fly interstate to
                 catch up with clients, or to meet new ones. This trip was
                 up to Brisbane, Australia’s third-largest city and one
                 with significantly nicer weather than what we’ve been
                 having in Sydney of late. I brought several coats and a
                 scarf, and not to get all Malcolm Gladwell on you, but
                 turns out I didn’t need any of them.


                 But first though, this view! We flew out of Sydney at
                 dawn, and we caught sight of the city waking up for the
                 morning. My colleague did a handheld timelapse on his
                 phone: you can just make out the Opera House and Harbour

                       As humans we often think we have a pretty good
                       handle on the basics of the way the world works,
                       from an intuition about gravity good enough to let

                       and surprise in an area we might think we would
                       have fully understood by now. One such area is
                       static electricity, and the way that it forms
                       within certain materials shows that it can impart a
                       kind of memory to them.

                       Most projects in “the old days” looked like
                       something you built in your garage. Today, if you

                       A favourite thing for the developers behind a

                       those in the know. Apple certainly had their share

                       in Canada which creates near limitless targets for

                       Using previously published DNA sequence data,
                       scientists created an evolutionary family tree for
                       night lizards. By studying their mutations over
                       time, the team was able to estimate when the
                       lizards evolved.


                       Their analyses suggest the most recent common
                       ancestor of living night lizards arose more than 92
                       million years ago, long before the Chicxulub
                       asteroid crashed down. The creatures have been
                       living in North America and Central America ever
                       since, which suggests at least some of them
                       survived the strike.

                       But a more subtle and equally dire cut is already

                       research. It seems hard to rally for indirect

                       one. For simple tasks we might build dedicated

                       by recent conversations in the Sudo Make Me a CTO
                       Community.


                       With Summer here, it's a good time to take a step
                       back, reflect on your current situation, and make
                       deliberate investments in your personal and
                       professional future. It's a great time to explore
                       new avenues, discover new interests, and educate
                       yourself on topics that you find interesting and
                       relevant.


                       With today's article, I'm launching the Sudo Make

                       After that story was published, I heard from
                       someone inside Apple who assured me that, yes,
                       there were still some people kicking around who had
                       been there when that very first chip transition
                       happened back in the 1990s. That kind of
                       institutional memory was vitally important to
                       Apple’s transitions in 2005 and 2020, as it turned
                       out.


                       The original Mac came with a Motorola 68000
                       processor. The 68K was used on all sorts of video
                       games, some Atari computers, as well as the Mac.
                       But in the early 1990s, Apple was frustrated by the
                       slow pace of improvements by its chipmaker and
                       realized that the fate of its platform was
                       dependent on the success or failure of someone
                       else.

                       Adobe Photoshop was created in 1987 by Thomas and
                       John Knoll. Software engineer, Thomas, was studying
                       for a PhD at the University of Michigan, while
                       visual effects guru, John Knoll, was working for
                       ILM (where he is now CCO) and would later work on
                       the Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition (1997) and
                       the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy.


                       Several stories exist as to exactly how the
                       brothers came to work on the project. As Jeff
                       explains in the video; “John was trying to get
                       proprietary image formats from one system to
                       another system,” so he turned to his brother to
                       help him out. According to History of Information,
                       Thomas wrote the code so he could display greyscale
                       images on his Apple Macintosh Plus’ monochrome
                       screen, which impressed his brother and encouraged
                       the pair to collaborate. In both instances, the
                       program that Thomas created would become the
                       genesis of Photoshop.

                       could be let go in early July, according to news
                       reports.


                       The Redmond-based tech giant announced in mid-May
                       that it was firing more than 6,000 employees

                       Less than three weeks later, Microsoft terminated
                       another 305 Washington employees.


                       Bloomberg News reported last week that Microsoft
                       was planning another round, aimed at thousands of
                       people with a heavy emphasis on sales and marketing
                       roles. The outlet reported Tuesday that more cuts
                       were coming for Microsoft’s gaming division,
                       doubling down on a report from The Verge in early
                       June that gaming layoffs were looming around the
                       end of the fiscal year on June 30.

                       be shut down as part of Microsoft’s ongoing
                       restructuring.


                       Earlier this week, Bloomberg reported that
                       Microsoft was planning another round of job cuts.
                       That was soon backed up by The Verge, which said
                       managers had been informed internally, and that
                       these cuts could hit the Xbox division as early as
                       next week.


                       Now, an industry veteran has added to the growing
                       concern with new claims about the potential scale

                             We treat generative AI like magic… and magic
                             systems have rules. When creating fantasy
                             worlds, writers think about who can use
                             magic, how magic is performed, what it’s able
                             to do, what its constraints are, what the
                             source of magic is, and what it costs. I’m
                             applying a bit of reverse worldbuilding to
                             the real world to extrapolate the rules of

                             Nudging people to “accept” the processing.
                             The AI Icebreakers were introduced without
                             ever asking people for their consent.
                             Instead, Bumble users started to receive a
                             pop-up as soon as they opened the app, which
                             said: “AI breaks the ice. We use AI to help
                             you get started with chatting. This allows
                             you to ask questions that match the profile
                             information of our members.” The banner
                             clearly is designed to nudge users to click
                             “Okay”. If you try to close it without doing
                             so, it will reappear every time the app is
                             reopened and until you finally click “Okay”.
                             While this suggests that Bumble relies on
                             (annoying forms of) consent, Bumble seems to
                             merely pretend to ask for consent, which
                             gives people a false sense of control.

                             users with option to say ‘Okay’ to AI
                             Icebreakers is misleading. It creates a false
                             sense of control over your own data. In
                             reality, Bumble claims to have a so-called
                             legitimate interest to use your data without
                             any consent.”

                             If you’re designing a new jet-powered
                             airplane, one of the design considerations is
                             the number of jet engines you will put on it.
                             Over the course of history we have seen
                             everywhere from a single engine, all the way
                             up to four and beyond, with today airliners

                             Boeing 747 and Airbus A380 has been largely
                             phased out. Yet for a long time airliners
                             featured three engines, which raises the
                             question of why this configuration has mostly
                             vanished now. This is the topic of a recent

                             Icebreakers are emblematic of the significant

                             states. U.S. President Donald Trump has
                             announced an aspirational interest in
                             acquiring at least 40 new icebreakers, but
                             the U.S. Coast Guard only has two. Across
                             NATO, there are thankfully 41, but 65% of
                             these are past their design life. Absent
                             rapid action to recapitalize NATO’s
                             icebreaker fleets, there could be a dramatic
                             drop in capacity this and the next decade.

                       deny the United States from obtaining similar

                       nearly 200,000 pirated books to train its Megatron
                       AI without permission. Filed in New York, the
                       lawsuit seeks damages and a ban on further use.
                       It's part of broader legal challenges facing AI
                       firms over unauthorised training data use.

                       Although Meta prevailed in its request to dismiss
                       the case, it could turn out to be a pyrrhic
                       victory. In his 40-page ruling, Chhabria repeatedly
                       indicated reasons to believe that Meta and other AI
                       companies have turned into serial copyright
                       infringers as they train their technology on books
                       and other works created by humans, and seemed to be
                       inviting other authors to bring cases to his court
                       presented in a manner that would allow them to
                       proceed to trial.

                       Musicians, book authors, visual artists and news
                       publications have sued various AI companies that
                       used their data without permission or payment. AI
                       companies generally defend their practices by
                       claiming fair use, arguing that training AI on
                       large datasets fundamentally transforms the
                       original content and is necessary for innovation.

                       Chhabria rejected the plaintiffs’ claim that the
                       company engaged in “unmitigated piracy” when it
                       built the model. The judge found that Llama cannot
                       create copies of more than 50 words, and that the
                       AI model is thus “transformative.”


                       He was more open to the argument that AI could
                       destroy the market for original works by using them
                       to create millions of cheap knockoffs. That likely
                       would not be “fair use,” even if the outputs were
                       different from the inputs, he wrote.

                       Perlmutter, today’s filing reads, “has failed to

                       Behind the straightforward view, the DOJ says the
                       Library, as part of the Executive Branch, “is
                       subject to presidential control, according to the

                       However, it came with a caveat that the authors
                       could have pitched a winning argument that by
                       training powerful generative AI with copyrighted
                       works, tech firms are creating a tool that could
                       let a sea of users compete with them in the
                       literary marketplace.


                       "No matter how transformative (generative AI)
                       training may be, it's hard to imagine that it can
                       be fair use to use copyrighted books to develop a
                       tool to make billions or trillions of dollars while
                       enabling the creation of a potentially endless
                       stream of competing works that could significantly
                       harm the market for those books," Chhabria said in

                       The lawsuit, filed by three authors, challenged the
                       use of copyrighted materials by Anthropic, a
                       leading AI company. Anthropic reported over $1
                       billion in annualized recurring revenue at the end
                       of 2024, and is most known for its platform
                       “Claude.” The authors contend that Anthropic used
                       copyrighted books without permission to train
                       Claude’s family of LLMs. The lawsuit shows that
                       Anthropic has used several million books to train
                       its systems — some were purchased in print form and
                       then digitally scanned, while others were pirated
                       from online sources.

                       But although the judge dismissed one of the claims
                       made in a class action lawsuit by a trio of authors
                       last year, he ordered that Anthropic must stand
                       trial in December for allegedly stealing thousands
                       of copyrighted works. “Anthropic had no entitlement
                       to use pirated copies for its central library,”

                       While Anthropic eventually shifted to training on
                       purchased copies of the books, it had nevertheless
                       first collected and maintained an enormous library
                       of pirated materials. “Anthropic downloaded over
                       seven million pirated copies of books, paid
                       nothing, and kept these pirated copies in its
                       library even after deciding it would not use them
                       to train its AI (at all or ever again). Authors
                       argue Anthropic should have paid for these pirated
                       library copies. This order agrees,” Alsup writes.

                       A federal judge this week ruled that artificial
