The Claimant’s application fails in all other respects."

To make matters worse, they they_do_so_against_the_#metoo_women and against victims_of_violence_by_men. In other words, 5RB is employing people who help violent men and who do copypasta to jam_up_our_mailbox_with_over_5_KG_of_legal_papers.

Summer is still very much here, even if the FSF's fund-raiser is due to finish at the end of today. As no day is specified in_this_Web_page, and no set date is shown (it just says "Summer"), we'll assume it goes on, or simply guess it'll just carry on until it - hopefully - reaches or exceeds 200.

The FSF can take advantage of this. For instance, explain to people GitHub_will_die one_day_(maybe_a_few_years), hence leave it ASAP.

The EPO's Local Staff Committee Munich has just circulated among staff a message to say: "In its announcement of 9 July 2025, the Office has decided - without any consultation with the staff representation - to abolish all allocated workspaces in the Isar Building for more than two years. This unilateral decision breaks the commitment that allocated offices would continue to be provided, made by the Office to all staff during the introduction of Bringing Teams Together. Alternative solutions are possible. For example, a portion of the affected staff could be relocated to the PschorrHöfe complex. Entire floors (6–8) in PH 1 to 4 remain unused, and PH 7 has stood empty for years. We urge the Office to reconsider and to work constructively with staff representation to identify practical alternatives that respect staff needs and honour the commitments made."

Here's the full publication from the Local Staff Committee Munich: Örtlicher Personalausschuss München Innenstadt, Haar und Brüssel Local Staff Committee Munich City, Haar and Brussels Le Comité local du Personnel de Munich Ville, Haar et Bruxelles Munich, 10-07-2025 sc25006mp § Commitment broken All Allocated Offices Abolished in the Isar Building⠀➾ Dear colleagues, Regarding the announcement: “Two-year renovation of the ISAR building starting in 2025.” While we fully support any construction measures aimed at improving the working environment, we are dismayed that the Office has decided - without any consultation with the staff representation - to abolish all allocated workspaces in the Isar Building for more than two years. This unilateral decision breaks the commitment that allocated offices would continue to be provided, made by the Office to all staff during the introduction of Bringing Teams Together. Allocated offices are not a luxury, but an essential part of a healthy work environment. They provide a stable, personalized, and ergonomic space that supports focus, continuity, and a sense of belonging. Their removal disrupts routines, undermines motivation, reduces productivity, and sends a clear signal that staff working conditions are not a priority for the Office. The Local Staff Committee Munich was only informed one day prior to the official announcement of 9 July. Despite having a scheduled meeting with the site manager just two weeks earlier, no mention of the project was made. Proper consultation with the Local Staff Committee and LOHSEC should have taken place. When asked, the administration confirmed that staff with allocated offices would regain them after the renovation - but refused to issue a formal statement. We also raised concerns about storage. The current lockers will be replaced with smaller ones, effectively requiring staff to take home their personal office equipment. We call on the Office to find alternative solutions. For example, a portion of the affected staff could be relocated to the PschorrHöfe complex. Entire floors (6–8) in PH 1 to 4 remain unused, and PH 7 has stood empty for years. It is deeply regrettable that no consultation was carried out. Early involvement of staff representation could have led to more balanced and workable solutions. We urge the Office to reconsider and to work constructively with staff representation to identify practical alternatives that respect staff needs and honour the commitments made. The Local Staff Committee Munich This gut-punching move happened just 2 days ago. █ * Gemini_Links_11/07/2025:_Occupation_of_2025_and_"Old_Man_Yells_At Soundcloud" * On_Microsoft_Layoffs ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢻⣿⢻⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣂⣾ ⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢠⢠⣄⡖⣾⣩⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣿⣿⣧⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢛⣛⣭⣥⣶⡾⣟⢁⡄⡄⡆⣶⠀⡏⣹⢸⢸⠟⠇⠙⠚⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣭⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢛⢫⢭⣶⢾⣿⢯⡟⡿⣿⠹⢸⢽⡽⣧⠇⠇⠟⠂⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣢⢐⣿⣶⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠀⠀⡇⡯⡅⡿⡧⠏⠗⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠿⠟⠟⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠃⠉⡁⠀⠨⠄⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢆⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠿⠻⠛⢚ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⡇⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⣾ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⣶⣶⣶⣿⣾⣿⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣦⣠⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣶⣾⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡗⠛⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣷⣂⣽⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⠛⠻⣿⡁⠀⠀⠀⢳⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⣿⣿⣷⣷⣿⢿ ⣿⣧⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡷⠀⠀⠻⡇⠀⠀⠀⠈⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⡏⠉⠉⢹⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠈⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⠉⠁⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⠟⠂⠘⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀ ⣶⣤⣤⡤⢠⡀⡀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣠⣄⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠻⠉⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⢿⣿⢿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⡿⠛⠛⢿⡟⠛⣿⡏⠙⣏⠉⢻⡏⠉⢿⠉⣯⡄⢠⣷⣀⡀⠙⣇⠀⢳⡀⠶⢿⡀⠙⠄⢳⣦⠐⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⡇⢸⣧⣼⡇⢸⣷⡀⢳⠀⡈⠇⡄⢹⡄⢀⠃⢠⠘⣇⠸⣿⡄⢯⢻⣧⠐⡄⠘⡄⢳⡀⢶⡷⡈⢦⡀⢻⣧⠘⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣧⠈⠿⠟⢣⡈⠿⠇⢸⡆⢱⡀⣿⡀⣷⣈⣦⣸⣇⣸⣄⣹⣷⣬⣮⠙⣧⣽⣦⣿⣤⣷⣶⣶⣷⣾⣿⣶⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 523 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/07/11/Exemplary_List_of_Things_That_Are_Not_Artificial_Intelligence_o.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/07/11/Exemplary_List_of_Things_That_Are_Not_Artificial_Intelligence_o.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Exemplary List of Things That Are Not Artificial Intelligence or Even Intelligence⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 11, 2025, updated Jul 11, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇It_does_something_I_don't_understand._Hence_it's_'AI'.⦈_ 1.

on_the_Fate_of_GitHub's_Copilot_in_Court_($9_Billion_in_Damages) When Microsoft's_Nat_Friedman and his_best_friend, the Serial_Strangler_from Microsoft, plotted_to_engage_in_the_biggest_GPL_violation_ever they didn't quite envision they'd end up unemployed and Microsoft_would_end_up_even_deeper in_debt, not just because of class action lawsuits but also energy bills. LLM coding_[sic]_"is_a_scam" and there is ample_evidence_of_that. Microsoft is just making a lot of hot air over nothing. While losing billion of dollars on "hey hi" it_is_planting_in_"the_news"_(chaff)_some_blurbs_about_how_it_"saves"_half a_billion_dollars_with_"hey_hi". Some publicly available information suggests that even for each paid subscriber for plagiarism (LLM 'coding') GitHub Copilot still loses more money than it makes. Had that legally-questionable "GitHub Copilot" been a standalone business, it would be bankrupt.

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Free_Version_of_LinkedIn_is_Dead._May_It_Rest_in_Peace.⦈_ It's hardly a secret that top-level people quit LinkedIn, offices get shut down permanently, there are mass layoffs, and traffic/engagement is down. This has gone on for years already. LinkedIn is dying; it is a "burning platform", to use or reuse the words of a Microsoft mole (Elop_inside_Nokia). At the moment even some right-leaning people are disturbed by what X.com became (we put that in Daily Links), the_CEO_has_just_fled_the_scene, and it starts to make sense that "Ye" (Kanye West) adopted that as his "go-to" platform. But what about Microsoft LinkedIn? Almost nobody talks about Microsoft LinkedIn because not many people use it and it was never an important platform compared to the "big few" (various Facebook sites and Chinese sites). Don't expect much chatter about the latest Microsoft LinkedIn layoffs either.

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Microsoft's_Azure_Linux_3.0.20250702_Brings_Many_Security Fixes⦈_ Whenever Michael Larabel covers Microsoft things as if they're important to us he serves to legitimise Microsoft, whose workers have long attacked us and many others (even_high-level_staff). That's not to say the word "Microsoft" cannot or should not be uttered. My problem with Phoronix (for 3.5 years already) is the sellout to large corporations. Larabel gets "compensated" to write puff pieces "for" or "about" them. Even Microsoft "compensated" him a few times (the times that openly he admitted it). I've been writing about Microsoft critically since the 1990s. I have a pretty good idea of what they stand for, what they did, and what they still do to my wife and I. Microsoft is a very malicious company. Never help it "reform its image". █ * Over_at_Tux_Machines... * Wayland_is_Bad_for_the_Planet ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣏⠿⠵⠿⠿⢿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠤⠰⠁⢀⣭⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠃⠚

of a Future (They Mostly Pretend at This Point)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 11, 2025 Days ago: Layoffs_and_Shutdowns_at_IBM,_Not_Just_Microsoft Latest at the moment (sorted_by_update_last_made): 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Topics_regarding_layoffs_at_IBM⦈_ To quote the first comment: "So how many layoffs and forced departures are expected as a result of the Almaden closure and shift ? It certainly is not ZERO. Maybe VP of Quantum Spin And Coverup, Jay Gambetta can tell everyone instead of sugar coating the news of the closure. After all, Alvind needs to make his oversized CEO bonus for 2026 before he retires." Many things at Microsoft are shutting down this month. As pointed_out_earlier, the media has barely reported on that (it helps the coverup and really matters that Microsoft did that during a national holiday!), so don't expect to find much press coverage. IBM and Microsoft are in some ways alike but in many ways different. IBM still sells a lot of hardware. IBM is also bigger, at least in terms of "headcount". Both companies are extremely arrogant and both have a long history of monopoly abuse, promotion of software patents, and shameless patent extortion. Last year we argued that "IBM's_Bad_Leadership_is_a_Threat_to_GNU/Linux" and seeing what's happening with Wayland right now, the same can be said about Red Hat in isolation. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Techwrongs⦈_ In order for GNU/Linux to survive and thrive we must look beyond and "after" Red Hat. That is to say, do not count on Red Hat always being there to maintain what it created (or started). Companies that are desperate for money (the same is true for law firms) would do evil_things in money-grabbing moves. Just_like_law_firms_and_barristers would_literally_attack_women_victims_(of_men_who_pay_the_legal_bills) the large so-called "tech" firms would_attack_their_own_users_and_customers_in_pursuit_of income. If the "market dynamics" work, then those firms will eventually run out of reputation, business, and staff (nobody_will_wish_to_work_for_them). █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇You_don't_tell_anyone_what_we_do_under_the_table.

It concerns something we saw a lot at IBM, which is in a state of crisis (a few people milk it to death, there's no long-term future to IBM). As it turns out, Microsoft_'pulls_an_IBM'_as_well. To quote: So I just got laid off from Microsoft This is certainly not like the kind of content I ever intended to post on here. I just made this account for like my Twitch and gaming content, but I figured I’d talk about it cause I, I don’t know what else to do right now. I literally just got an email last Wednesday saying, uh, my position was to be terminated immediately and I was to stop doing the work that I was doing. I think the thing that pi---s me off the most about this is I moved across the country for this job, right? I, I moved literally from the east coast of the US to the west coast, a 45 hour drive. I left, uh, like friends and family. My wife had to leave a job that she liked and really enjoyed. And I’ve only worked here for 7 months. It hasn’t been a full year. That feels like huge business oversight, right? To like say, oh, we need the budget for this person. We have the budget to hire this person. And then seven months later be like, oh, we can’t afford them anymore. It’s too much money. And I still get like two to three months of Severance pay. So that’s nice at least. And I was told it wasn’t performance based, but like I had special clearance access on my team. So I’m the only person that could do like some of the work I was working on and you know I was told it was like high priority. I like I guess nobody can do that work now. There’s a deadline coming up in like two months but like how like there was no reasoning behind it and even like my boss was fired and I talked to like my boss’s boss. He doesn’t have a reason for why I was like there’s no reasoning. Nobody knows it’s crazy and I’ve only worked here for 7 months. Why the fu-k did they hire me in the first place? I mean, I guess I just start looking for other jobs now. Um, and maybe try to continue with the the Twitch stuff, whatever see how that goes but just kind of like venting a bit I guess I I don’t know I’m just kind of pi---d off that this job made me move across the country and they only kept me around for 7 months. Feels a little messed up. Source: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNd5Cy27X/ At IBM the modus operandi is, relocate, reset seniority, then terminate (possibly without or less severance; exit conditions change). It's a well known tactic, which we also saw at the EPO. You make up some fictional and temporary job/role, then move to it staff you do not like, then you eliminate that job/ role. "Oh, bad luck!!" Now enter Microsoft. "It’s extremely common and wasteful," said the sole comment on the above. "There is a game at play and your player was eliminated. Not trying to sound cruel it really works this way." Microsoft is nowadays doing this! It is a "low blow" or a "dick move". █ * After_the_Free_Software_Foundation's_Campaign_to_Raise_Money_Let's_See Campaigns_to_Finish_Off_Microsoft_(Vista_11,_GitHub_etc.) * next ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1470 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/07/11/Nat_Friedman_and_the_Serial_Strangler_From_Microsoft_Were_Alway.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/07/11/Nat_Friedman_and_the_Serial_Strangler_From_Microsoft_Were_Alway.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ "Nat [Friedman] and [the Serial Strangler From Microsoft] Were Always Exceptionally Close," Says Former Housemate and Colleague⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 11, 2025 Also see: Miguel_de_Icaza on Nat_Friedman_and_Alex_Graveley_“Best_Friends” "I can't speak to any current events," wrote the person in Hacker News, "but I was an employee of Ximian, formerly Helix Code, from 2000 to 2004. I also lived with Alex for a year around 2001 and/or 2002, when we lived just down the street from Nat. Nat and Alex were always exceptionally close, which I always found confusing. Alex was intense, passionate, charismatic, but also had troubled and troubling relationships with people, _particularly_ women. Alex was, if I remember correctly, let go from Ximian when he failed to arrive to work every day by noon for one week straight (we lived a 5 to 10 minute walk from the office)." Now Alex (hiding behind another name when that suits him) not only attacks women but also people who merely report what he did to women. Here they are (Friedman and him) just_a_few_days_before_Matthew_Garrett_filed_his_frivolous lawsuit (he had sent his_first_SLAPP a few days before his_litigation_buddy got arrested and week after Friedman lost his CEO role, as announced when we published this_article).

Norrgård,_Eeva_Hakoranta,_Angel_Aledo_Lopez,_Alessia_Volpe,_António_Campinos, Roberto_Castagno,_Antti_Riivari,_Gilles_Requena_and_Jani_Päiväsaari_⦈_ A recent publication sent to António_Campinos and his corrupt officials [1, 2] (some appointed by Benoît_Battistelli) talks about serious issues at the Office, which include granting of European_software_patents - i.e. patents which are both illegal and undesirable. This is how this publication (a letter) was presented to EPO staff earlier this week: § Open letter to Mr Rowan (VP1) and Mr Aledo Lopez (COO)⠀➾ Dear ⁠Colleagues, The Initial 2026 Budgetary Orientations (CA/25/25, p. 4) foresee an increase in absolute production (SEO products) of 2.7% along with a 60% examiner replacement rate. Each year, when these orientations are translated into DG1 targets, a buffer is added, which means that the effective targets for DG1 in 2026 are likely to exceed the announced 2.7%. This approach is not any longer sustainable and moreover it appears to diverge from the financial study’s recommendation of a 2.1% annual productivity increase. What justifies this disparity? In this open letter, we request transparency with the target setting for 2026 and a true bottom-up approach. Sincerely yours, The Central Staff Committee In the letter, pay close attention to what they say about "fixed term contracts [being] exploited to press ever increasing demands upon them." Doing this to examiners is very likely a violation of the EPC and moreover a way to compel examiners_to_grant_illegal_patents, which means many software patents as well. European Patent Office 80298 Munich Germany Central Staff Committee Comité central du personnel Zentraler Personalausschuss centralSTCOM@epo.org Reference: sc25046cl Date: 04/07/2025 European Patent Office | 80298 MUNICH | GERMANY To: Mr Steve Rowan (VP1) Cc: Mr Angel Aledo Lopez (COO) By_email: To: vp1@epo.org Cc: coo@epo.org § OPEN LETTER⠀➾ § Transparency with the target setting for 2026 and a true bottom-up approach⠀➾ Dear Mr Rowan, Dear Mr Aledo Lopez, The Initial 2026 Budgetary Orientations1 foresee an increase in absolute production (SEO products) of 2.7% along with a 60% examiner replacement rate. Each year, when these orientations are translated into DG1 targets, a buffer is added, which means that the effective targets for DG1 in 2026 are likely to exceed the announced 2.7%. This approach is not any longer sustainable and moreover it appears to diverge from the financial study’s recommendation of a 2.1% annual productivity increase2 . What justifies this disparity? Moreover, historically, differences between technical fields were recognized with different peer productivity values and shared with staff. _______ 1 CA/25/25, p.4 2 In order to convert budget plans into DG1 targets, the actual number of examiners needs to be taken into account. The number of examiners in post is always substantially lower than the number of budgeted posts. This, the 60% replacement rate, and the “buffer” introduced when converting the budget plan to DG1 targets, means that the actual expected productivity increase for 2026 is likely to be higher than 2.7%. ===================================================================== We therefore respectfully request that: - The difficulty and complexity of files in the field of each the team be genuinely considered at the time of target setting. - Transparency is provided as to how the target increases are distributed among directorate, teams and individuals; and how the distribution looked like in the previous years. - A rationale is provided for the minimum time required to complete a standard (BEST) file with a sufficient granularity by technical fields. Along such an analysis being shared with the Staff Representation, we further request that: - Colleagues are meaningfully consulted on the number of EPC compliant products which they expect to be able to deliver in 2026. - A meaningful account is given to colleagues that have recently changed technical field or been active in several technical fields. - The above provisional plan is reviewed to include a bottom-up approach to target setting for the final 2026 budget. - The fact that colleagues are on fixed term contracts is not exploited to press ever increasing demands upon them. The Staff Representation is looking forward to resuming with a long overdue social dialogue on such operational matters. Sincerely yours, Derek Kelly Chairman of the Central Staff Committee They will probably reject the simple facts, reject reality itself, and then resort to attacking the messenger, which includes_us. The letter above is dated one week ago, i.e. a Friday. █ * Abuse_of_Process * The_EFF_Sided_With_the_Team_That_Strangles_Women_and_Tells_Women_to_Kill Themselves

Microsoft Layoffs⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 11, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇MATAsaurus⦈_ There are still many headlines about Microsoft layoffs. Microsoft wants to change that. It is trying_to_change_the_subject. The media likes to focus on games and studios that produce games. However, based on comments we see, the Microsoft layoffs are far more wide-ranging. We estimate that since January 2025 about 29,000 people were let go, not counting people who left on their own (two family members of mine left Intel on their own, they won't count as "layoffs"). By the end of this year, given rumours_about_many_more_Microsoft_as_soon_as_next_month, we_might_be_looking_at about_60,000_Microsoft_layoffs_since_2023. The headcount number will always be misleading because of in-sourcing, offshoring etc. Microsoft - like IBM - knows how to "massage" those numbers to signal "business as usual" to shareholders. We wrote many articles about this topic. The reasons why Microsoft has these issues aren't a mystery. It's not an enigma. Look what happened to Skype. Look at Outlook going offline again (globally). They're running low on "skilled" staff and make stuff up about "talent". █ * EPO_Management_Already_Breaks_Its_Own_Promise_(Lie)_on_"Bringing_Teams Together" * IRC_Proceedings:_Thursday,_July_10,_2025

Dying⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 11, 2025, updated Jul 11, 2025 First, we'd like to say some good stuff, a bit of good news for a change. About a week ago BetaNews kicked out all the mythical "hey hi" writers and brought back onboard three people - real people! - including the former editor. One of them is a Microsoft booster, but at least that site is no longer a slopfarm. For about a month we showed that becoming a slopfarm - for several weeks - resulted in utter failure and ruin for BetaNews. If sites can recognise this error and then try to correct it, then we wish them the best. Sadly, as my wife noticed this morning, Linux Journal is still a slopfarm. It has just released another piece of slop: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linux's_Ascendancy:_Charting_the_Open-Source_Surge_in_the Desktop_OS_Arena⦈_ Several scanners independently confirm that it is LLM slop. The same is (as always) true for this nonsense from Brittany Day, piggybacking real_articles about_Thunderbird_140_ESR: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Strengthen_Your_Email_Stack_with_Thunderbird_140_ESR’s Security_Updates⦈_ This is fake, as usual, and it's hard to believe that domain will ever quit doing LLM slop. It's just so hopeless. Linux Journal has been a slopfarm only for a number of months, so there's still hope it'll change direction and recover. Who at Slashdot decided to turn that domain into a slop experiment? █ * Links_11/07/2025:_Censorship_Worsening,_3D_Printing_Success_Stories,_UK and_France_Unite_Around_Nukes *

Started)⦈_ Once Mr. Barlow died she (Cohn) could ruin the EFF and oust his friends: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Honoring_the_2018_Pioneer_Award_Winners_and_John_Perry Barlow⦈_ They say that apathy and inaction are a form of a "stance". There are sayings to the effect of, inaction in the face of injustice is sort of like participating in it. There are many metaphors around that concept. Some times in the future we'll share a story about the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). Just... not yet. The Free_Software_Foundation_(FSF) is turning 40 in a few months. The EFF has just turned 35. Its chief (who merely inherited power from the co-founders due to a death, then ousted the other co-founder, who is now in the FSF's Board) is quoted_as_saying that in its "year-long 35th Anniversary celebration, our dedicated activists, investigators, technologists, and attorneys will share the lessons from EFF’s long and rich history so that we can help overcome the obstacles ahead." I used to believe that Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) stood up for justice, for bloggers, even for women. I was naive to believe that.

several law firms at me (to_no_avail,_waste_of_their_money! When it gets harder it's apparently_time to_get_another_law_firm because picking on some dude in Manchester is too hard with only one!), is not_happy_that_we_publish_correct_information_about_the EPO. We showed new evidence a few days ago. Techrights apparently really scares bad people. Several years ago the corrupt President, António_Campinos, went on a horrible tirade against the staff, filled with several occurrences of the word "f----- g". Yes, it was our 'fault'. He complained that we exposed embarrassing information about the corrupt Office, which included himself and his corrupt buddies (nepotism and plunder). At the time we showed that he was sending EPO money to Minsk, hence bolstering Putin's war machine while pretending he was pro-EU. If these people are really so nervous about what we publish (we were told "almost everyone" at the Office reads Techrights), then we're on the right track. We'll keep on doing that in the weekend and next week. The same is true for Microsoft, whose operatives not only harass us in IRC [1, 2] but also_by_post.

The in-laws and the out-laws. My house will be occupied territory for 60 days. This is the First wave. They arrived yesterday afternoon. Second wave is in about two weeks from now. Hope I survive without incident. I have been preparing myself for these times, since I found out a month or so ago. Initially, I was like hell no! This did not go well with those affected, which pushed me further back into the dawg haus. I talked it over with some friends and eventually came to the realization that this was not a battle for me to fight. As much as I did not want this, my reasoning was all selfish and self- centered. So I have surrendered to this situation and the plane is now in flight. House guests were not really a thing in the household I grew up in. My folks did not really have any relatives that lived close by and on rare occassions when they visited, they were from out of state and only stayed a couple days, a week tops. # ⚓ sad_girl_lunch⠀⇛ # ⚓ Elly's_Story⠀⇛ In a world where freedom is sold, one boy dares to dream. Elly never thought his father would sell him—but now he's a slave, taken east to the edge of civilization, shackled and afraid. But even in chains, Elly’s imagination is strong enough to carry him far from fear. Along the way, he finds something he never expected: friendship. Tedus, a clever goblin boy with big dreams of glory, becomes his closest ally. Together, they're sent to the wild hills to herd sheep under the watch of gruff foremen, fierce mastiff dogs, and a wise old shepherdess named Edra. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Old_Man_Yells_At_Soundcloud⠀⇛ There are various complaints about what passes for music these days: homogenization, where too many are beat quanting and autotuning and compressing and using all the same plugins and samples, or where distribution and track selection is centralized and has all the blight and rot one expects from an excess of Mammon—Payola, or AI innovations invented on the spot. With too much music, the value of eight hours, forty four minutes, and fifty three seconds of "Telemann Collection - Baroque Music" is fairly low. Don't like it? Swipe to something else. Another innovation would be to remove the swiping: pre- cradle to grave sonic sculpting based on biophysical feedback. Creepy? Probably. Corporate goal? Probably. Think of those profit margins! # ⚓ How_to_build_an_uxn_emulator⠀⇛ I'm a total newbie when it comes to uxn and the uxntal programming language -- and programming in general. When I tried to launch the Left app (or rom as they are called), an error popped up in the terminal and the rom crashed: 00 28 01 0c 17 36 00 00 Working-stack division by zero, by 3b at 0x0821. Boot: Failed to eval rom. Start: Failed This, as noted by a member of the concatenative Discord server, has to do with an outdated emulator, and not the rom itself. However, the provided prebuilt emulator from 100rabbits' sourcehut page available by clicking the .tar.gz link under "refs" is not up to date, so I had to build it myself. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Has a self-help book ever helped you? If yes, would you share the title and author? I'll be honest, I've never even read one haha. I don't find help helpful, if that makes sense, I prefer to muddle through and do research, trial and error, even in day to day things. I do have fond memories of self help gurus on late night infomercials though, Tony Robbins, The Secret and the like. I sometimes wonder where these people are now. 2. How many times a month do you cook dinner at home? Do you plan most of your meals, or do you start by looking in the refrigerator to see what hasn't gone bad? almost always! we're dirt poor and takeout in Australia can be pretty expensive. it was expensive in the States too but my wife's family loves junk food and hates effort so we did eat out a lot there, we cooked our own meals maybe two or three times a week. we used to meal plan but now we mostly play it by ear, we have a pretty solid rotation of favorites and we live near the stores we need so we can pick things up for meals easily. our fridge and pantry are reasonably stocked but mostly with spices, condiments, and basics like flour, baking soda, etc. # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_ILVOTUN_Wordo:_LOONY⠀⇛ o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Stellar_Adventures_by_Arion_Games⠀⇛ I have to second the recommendation for Arion Games's Stellar Adventures. While I have not had a chance to play it yet, I have played/run Advanced Fighing Fantasy 2E, which has the basic rules chassis, and found it works well for me. In 126 pages (excluding 2 pages of of Kickstarter Backers) Stellar Adventures is a complete SF rpg, with simple rules based on the Advanced Fighting Fantasy 2e rules, but customized for SF. Stats for most characters are SKILL (general competence), STAMINA (ability to take damage), and LUCK (just that), and then there are Special Skills, which are added to SKILL for specific situations. If you don't have a Special Skill, and it's something you can attempt without it, you default to SKILL. If you are playing a psionic character, you have PSIONICS stat; if you are playing a robot, you have a TECH stat. Characters also start with one Talent, which are things like Ambidextrous, Combat Reactions, Mutant (1D3 mutations rolled on a table), Linguist, Sidekick, etc., which the player can pick. Tests of SKILL or SKILL + Special Skill are roll 2d6 equal to or under the Skill total, while on opposed rolls you roll 2d6 + Skill total and compare the two rolls and the higher wins; ties roll again until not tied. LUCK is a finite resource; when you roll against it to get out of a tight spot (either at the Director's request or the player's request) you always lose a point of LUCK. LUCK does not return automatically, but you can get it back by actions in the game: basically, doing brave things and accomplishing significant goals, or compleating an adventure. # ⚓ Toby's_tinylog⠀⇛ This isn't mentioned on their website, but Zorin OS now allows you to install to a ZFS-on-root encrypted and compressed drive! It's hidden under advanced settings. I re-installed my laptop to get this feature, and it's working as smooth and polished as the rest of Zorin OS. Kudos to the developers! #zorin #zfs #linux # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Reports_of_its_death_are_greatly_exaggerated⠀⇛ I've seen posts here and there talking about how Gemini and Geminispace is dying, and I dunno, I have seen some capsules go offline but there's still a fair bit of activity. Of course, I tend to check places like BBS, tootik and Midnight.pub which are more social places, I have individual gemlogs in my feeds that I check, and I have some favourite games on Gemini that I come back to. Some capsules are gone, but plenty of them are still around. I mean, parts of my capsule were offline for a while before I got them running again. # ⚓ Scriptonite_Updates⠀⇛ Everything mentioned in the original gemlog still applies and works as advertised. The goal is to remain backwards compatible as new features are added. [...] There are two new variables that can be accessed from scripts. SCRIPT_URL and CERT_HASH. SCRIPT_URL contains the complete url used to load the current page. This can make it easier to generate links in some situations (see updated examples below). CERT_HASH is the client certificate hash or null if there is no cert. # ⚓ A_separate_allow-list_to_bypass_fail2ban⠀⇛ =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

The replacement HDD arrived last night. It was unceremoniously tossed onto the front porch by the courier. However, it was properly packaged. I’m sure it’s fine. The original idea: put this drive into a host, and write some data to it, to exercise it a bit. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Ask_Hackaday:_Are_You_Wearing_3D_Printed Shoes?⠀⇛ We love 3D printing. We’ll print brackets, brackets for brackets, and brackets to hold other brackets in place. Perhaps even a guilty-pleasure Benchy. But 3D printed shoes? That’s where we start to have questions. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Voltage_Divider?_Filter?_It’s_Both!⠀⇛ When we do textbook analysis, we tend to ignore the real-world concerns for the sake of learning. So, a typical theoretical voltage divider is simply two resistors. But if you examine a low-pass RC filter, you’ll see a single resistor and a capacitor. What if you combine them? That’s what [Old Hack EE] did in a recent video, and you can check it out below. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Hacking_A_Guitar_Into_A_Hurdy-Gurdy_Hybrid_With 3D_Prints⠀⇛ If you’re looking for a long journey into the wonderful world of instrument hacking, [Arty Farty Guitars] is six parts into a seven part series on hacking an existing guitar into a guitar-hurdy- gurdy-hybrid, and it is “a trip” as the youths once said.

The money has been flowing to a network of nonprofit organizations that are part of Thriving Texas Families, a state program that supports parenting and adoption as alternatives to abortion and provides counseling, material assistance and other services. Most of the groups operate as crisis pregnancy centers, or pregnancy resource centers, which often resemble medical clinics but are frequently criticized for offering little or no actual health care and misleading women about their options. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ A_Simple_Daily_Habit_Could_Help_Lower_Your Blood_Pressure⠀⇛ You can even add delicious sides. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Major_Study_Links_4_Healthy_Diets_With_Up to_28%_Lower_Dementia_Risk⠀⇛ Your food could protect your brain. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ How_a_Medical_Mystery_Revealed_The_World's Rarest_Blood_Type⠀⇛ Only one person on Earth has it. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # § Artificial Intelligence (AI) / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Qt ☛ Get_Better_QML_Code_Completions_with_CodeLlama 13B-QML_and_7B-QML_v3 [Ed: Qt is pushing slop]⠀⇛ Today, we released updated versions of the fine-tuned CodeLlama 13B-QML and 7B -QML models.

Now he’s hoping the war with Iran has rehabilitated his image. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ A_Lethal_Israeli_Airstrike_Hits_Near_a Gaza_Aid_Clinic⠀⇛ The attack struck near a facility run by an American aid organization as negotiators from Hamas and Israel wrangle over a potential new cease-fire agreement. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Israel_strikes_medical_center_in_Gaza_as ceasefire_talks_stall_in_Doha⠀⇛ An Israeli airstrike hit Palestinians near a medical centre in Gaza on Thursday, killing 10 children and six adults, local health authorities said, as ceasefire talks dragged on with no immediate deal expected. The Deir al-Balah missile strike came as Israeli and Hamas negotiators hold talks with mediators in Qatar over a proposed 60- day ceasefire and hostage release deal aimed at building agreement on a lasting truce. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Quicker_immigration_clearance_system at_revamped_checkpoint_will_not_send_data_to_mainland_China, says_security_chief⠀⇛ A quicker immigration clearance system that will be deployed at a revamped land crossing between Hong Kong and China will not send residents’ data to mainland authorities, the city’s security chief has said. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ China_says_foiled_foreign_spying plots_including_‘honeytrap’⠀⇛ China said Thursday it had cracked three spying plots, including one in which a public servant was lured by the “seductive beauty” of a foreign agent, urging government workers to remain vigilant against overseas threats. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong_nat._security_police arrest_4,_aged_15_to_47,_for_alleged_subversion_via_Taiwan- based_group⠀⇛ Hong Kong national security police have arrested four people, aged 15 to 47, for allegedly conspiring to subvert state power through a Taiwan- based group that advocates for the city’s independence. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ US_sanctions_UN_rapporteur_Francesca_Albanese_over Palestine_human_rights_work⠀⇛ The United States on Wednesday imposed sanctions against UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian human rights Francesca Albanese, marking an escalation in the Convicted Felon administration’s efforts to prevent international scrutiny of Israel’s conduct in Gaza. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ A_Reporter’s_Trail_From_a_Bush-Era Cyberattack_to_Convicted_Felon’s_Strike_on_Iran⠀⇛ During the Obama administration, a Times reporter revealed details of a cyberattack on a nuclear enrichment center in Iran. He followed the story to the White House, and learned lessons critical to covering the recent bombing of Fordo and Natanz. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Some_of_Iran’s_Enriched_Uranium_Survived Attacks,_Israeli_Official_Says⠀⇛ The assessment came as experts are trying to determine how long it would take Iran to rebuild its nuclear program in the aftermath of U.S. and Israeli strikes. # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ France24 ☛ France,_UK_sign_‘historic’_deal_to coordinate_nuclear_deterrence_for_first_time⠀⇛ French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday announced a new defence relationship that will, for the first time, coordinate their countries' nuclear deterrence systems.

For any product of significant value the users are unable to perform any reasonable test before buying, for a casual user some problems may only be apparent after weeks of use so professional reviews are important to many people. The market apparently doesn’t want reviews of the form “here’s a list of products that are quite similar and all do the job well, you can buy any of them, it’s no big deal” which would be the most technically accurate way of doing it. So the reviewers compare the products on the criteria that are easiest to measure, this lead to phones being compared by how light and thin they are. I think it’s often the case that users would be better served by thicker heavier phones that have larger batteries but instead they are being sold phones that have good battery life in a fresh installation but which don’t last a day with a full load of apps installed. # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Blue_Sharks_May_Be_Secret_Chameleons, Scientists_Discover⠀⇛ Yellow shark, do dooo do-do do-do. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Feng_shui_woodlands_have protected_Hong_Kong;_it’s_our_turn_to_care_for_these long-neglected,_forgotten_forests⠀⇛ By Kit Lee and Michael Boyle Amidst the villages and valleys of Hong Kong, tiny pockets of ancient forest lie scattered across the landscape.

The internet and its commercial power has sculpted the computer-device. It's become the terrain of flat, uniform, common platforms and protocols, not eccentric, local, idiosyncratic ones. Before computers were connected together, they were primarily personal. Once connected, they became primarily social. The purpose of the computer shifted to become social over personal. The triumph of the internet has also impoverished our sense of computers as a tool for private exploration rather than public expression. The pre- network computer has no utility except as a kind of personal notebook, the post-network computer demotes this to a secondary purpose. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ F.D.A._Posts_Collection_of_Letters Outlining_Concerns_About_New_Drugs⠀⇛ The letters, many of which were already available online, detail why the regulators initially declined to approve some drugs.

In Miami, a federal judge has thrown out a case accusing Karol G and DJ Tiësto of copyright monopoly infringement in their 2021 hit, “Don’t Be Shy.” # ⚓ New York Times ☛ European_Union_Unveils_Rules_for_Powerful Hey_Hi_(AI)_Systems⠀⇛ Makers of the most advanced artificial intelligence systems face obligations for transparency, copyright monopoly protection and public safety. The rules are not enforceable until next year. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Denmark_Aims_to_Use_Copyright_Law_to Protect_People_From_Deepfakes⠀⇛ A pioneering bill would give citizens the right to demand that social control media platforms remove digital forgeries of themselves. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ DSW_Fires_Back_Against_the_Majors’ Social_Media_Infringement_Claims:_‘This_Case_Is_About_the Labels’_Greed’⠀⇛ It turns out Designer Shoe Warehouse (DSW) isn’t thrilled about being sued for social control media copyright monopoly infringement. Amid a courtroom confrontation with Warner Music, the retail chain’s parent is now seeking a declaratory judgement against Universal Music, Sony Music, and BMG. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Someone like me? Not so much. o ⚓ El País ☛ The_Grateful_Dead:_A_story_of_hippies,_LSD_and Lithuania’s_iconic_basketball_uniforms⠀⇛ They also hold the record for the most albums charted in their home country, being one of the major social and cultural phenomena that defined 20th-century North America. Closely tied to the birth of the 1960s counterculture, The Grateful Dead have been the subject of numerous essays and academic studies, and arguably possess the most loyal fanbase ever. o ⚓ Sightline Media Group ☛ Army_will_end_most_of_its_ceremonial horse_programs⠀⇛ The U.S. Army’s history is closely tied to its cavalry units, those soldiers who rode into battle on horseback. But the service announced Tuesday that it’s moving toward a future without the ceremonial horses and will put most of them up for adoption. The Army, however, will keep operating the Old Guard ceremonial caisson units at Joint Base San Antonio and Arlington National Cemetery for burial honors. o ⚓ ARRL ☛ Amateur_Radio_Volunteers_Serving_During_Texas_Floods⠀⇛ The trained ham radio operators were activated starting on Friday, July 4, 2025. Radio amateurs are providing communications capabilities to agencies whose primary systems were damaged in the flooding event or where they suffer poor connectivity due to the terrain. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Space_traffic_control_is_vital,_industry tells_Congress⠀⇛ The letters argue that safe space operations "in an increasingly congested space domain" are critical for modern services like broadband satellite [Internet] and weather forecasting, but that's not all. "Likewise, a safe space operating environment is vital for continuity of national security space missions such as early warning of missile attacks on deployed US military forces," the letters added. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Thousands_of_NASA_staff_likely_to_quit before_getting_fired⠀⇛ The US space agency is facing massive funding cuts that would put it back to pre-Apollo levels of budgets and staffing. A report in Politico based on internal documents says over 2,000 senior staff are planning to leave under the deferred resignation program (DRP), but people within the organization have said that there's no official count on the cuts and won't be until the end of the month. "There is no set target number for the DRP. This program is a voluntary opportunity available to NASA employees," a spokesperson told The Register. # ⚓ Bjoern Brembs ☛ Embrace_the_uncertainty⠀⇛ One such microbehavior that had been extensively studied in Tübingen before Martin Heisenberg arrived was optomotor behavior. Like most animals, flies attempt to stabilize their visual field when confronted with moving stimuli. For example, a tethered fly on the torque meter would generate right-turning torque when presented with vertical gratings rotating from left to right (clockwise from above) around the fly. Earlier research had shown that control theory could reasonably predict the dynamics of these optomotor responses, including rise times and amplitudes. The prevailing conclusion was that these control loops were innate steering mechanisms, allowing flies to maintain a straight trajectory. If visual input indicated an unintended drift, the optomotor response would automatically and predictably correct the displacement. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Former_reality_TV_star_appointed_NASA Interim_Administrator⠀⇛ Duffy has little experience in the space arena. Before entering politics, he starred in The Real World: Boston in 1997, the sixth season of the MTV reality television show, and Road Rules: All Stars in 1998, an MTV Winnebago driving event where he met his future wife, Rachel Campos. He resigned from Congress in 2019, later becoming a Fox Business host in 2022 before being appointed Secretary of Transportation in 2025. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ David Rosenthal ☛ The_Festschrift_For_Cliff_Lynch⠀⇛ Source The festschrift that includes the edited version of the draft we posted back in April entitled Lots Of Cliff Keeps Stuff Safe has been officially published as Networking Networks: A Festschrift in Honor of Clifford Lynch, an open access supplement to portal: Libraries and the Academy 25, no. 3. Joan K. Lippincott writes: [...] # ⚓ Futurism ☛ You'll_Never_Guess_Why_OpenAI_Is_Pouring_Money Into_the_Second_Largest_Teachers'_Union⠀⇛ Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic — three leading AI chatbot makers — have poured $23 million into the second largest teachers' union in the US, the New York Times reports. The union, the American Federation of Teachers, revealed its tech patrons on Tuesday, when it announced that it was using the funding to launch an AI training center for educators, which is being called the National Academy for AI Instruction. # ⚓ Coalition for Networked Information ☛ Networking_Networks: A_Festschrift_Honoring_Clifford_Lynch,_Executive_Director, Coalition_for_Networked_Information,_1997-2025⠀⇛ Joan K. Lippincott, ed. “Networking Networks: A Festschrift Honoring Clifford Lynch, Executive Director, Coalition for Networked Information, 1997-2025.” Supplement to portal: Libraries and the Academy 25, no. 3 (July 2025), https:// muse.jhu.edu/issue/55108. # ⚓ Sergio Visinoni ☛ New_Leader's_First_Move:_Make_Their_Life Easier⠀⇛ This approach is the opposite of being passive, though it might look as such on a narrow time horizon. It's a deliberate approach that helps you make the right first impression, which will become your main lever going forward. Let's look at how it applies in a few common scenarios that we've been recently discussing in the Sudo Make Me a CTO Community. # ⚓ Ness Labs ☛ Intellectual_Self-Doubt:_The_Psychology_Behind Questioning_Your_Competence_-_Ness_Labs⠀⇛ Here’s one of my favorite quotes: “I am not a writer. I’ve been fooling myself and other people.” This comes from the diary of John Steinbeck, who won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature. This kind of intellectual self-doubt is common among high achievers. The smarter they are, the more acutely they seem to question their own competence. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Intel_CEO_reportedly_comes_to_terms_with chipmaker's_fall⠀⇛ "Twenty, 30 years ago, we are really the leader," he's reported as saying. "The world has changed. We are not in the top 10 semiconductor companies." o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Trump_bill_will_have_major_impact_on health_care_cybersecurity,_experts_warn_Congress⠀⇛ But during the hearing, multiple witnesses warned that the Republican-passed law will have a devastating impact on cybersecurity and basic services in a health care sector that is already plagued by digital threats. Others decried what they see as a general pullback from the federal government in supporting health care and health care cybersecurity under the Trump administration. # ⚓ EDRI ☛ Online_platforms_use_manipulative_design⠀⇛ New research by Bits of Freedom investigated social media platforms Facebook, Snapchat and TikTok, and e-commerce platforms Shein, Zalando and Booking.com for their use of manipulative design. The worrying findings indicate that these platforms continue to nfluence the choices of users to their detriment despite being prohibited by laws. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ An_enslaved_Black_botanist_makes_a_key discovery_in_'The_Rarest_Fruit'⠀⇛ Five weeks later, Edmond enters the nursery to find a freshly sprouted vanilla pod. “So this is the rarest fruit in the world!” he cheers. But his jubilation soon wilts. Ferréol – one part incredulous, three parts jealous – refuses to accept that a Black enslaved preteen engineered the vanilla breakthrough. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ America_Is_Sliding_Into_the_Abyss⠀⇛ And in public health, God forbid we have another pandemic, because we’re shutting down critical programs to monitor and respond to imminent threats like H5N1, while the bozos at Health and Human Services and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices are taking an axe to immunization in the US and giving once-vanquished plagues a new chance at a run on ordinary Americans. Thanks to the destructiveness of these anti-vaxxers, we already have more measles cases than at any time in the past 33 years. The crisis is already here. To use the coarse military acronym, it’s all FUBAR—fucked up beyond all recognition. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Scientists_Succeed_in_Reversing_Parkinson’s Symptoms_in_Mice⠀⇛ The results showed that the mice treated with the placebo experienced a deterioration in their motor skills. In contrast, those that received the copper supplement showed no alterations in their movement. It appears the treatment corrected the dysfunctions of SOD1 and restored its protective properties. In the mice receiving the copper treatment, dopamine neurons were preserved in an area of the brain called the substantia nigra, an area essential for the control of movement, coordination, learning, and certain cognitive functions. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ CISA_agrees_that_CitrixBleed_2_is_under exploit⠀⇛ The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has added its weighty name to the list of parties agreeing that CVE-2025-5777, dubbed CitrixBleed 2 by one researcher, has been under exploitation and abused to hijack user sessions. On Thursday, CISA added the critical security flaw to its catalog of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities. The agency cited "evidence of active exploitation" in its alert. # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Talking_about_Apple_again⠀⇛ I know I court a readership of BSD and Linux people—hi!—who would argue that Apple have always been like this. But I need you to understand that… no, no they weren’t. This is a whole other level. Apple’s marketing may have always had a streak of the reality distortion field, but for a time they made the best computer GUIs around. Then they made the best UNIX workstations around. People like me used them because their tastes and priorities closely matched ours. Then the pundits said we were disgruntled because they went for the mass market, thanks to the iPhone (pardon, “thanks to iPhone”). Their stuff “wasn’t for us” anymore. Okay, but now I’d argue nobody benefits from what they’re doing. # ⚓ John Calhoun ☛ Almost_Fired⠀⇛ To keep a long story short, I did get it sorted out — I rewrote the assembly code in straight C (a language I was familiar with) and the PowerPC was happy to display the HSL color wheel. The PPC chips were so much faster than the 68K ones that in fact some assembly was not required. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Microsoft_Outlook_outage_stretches_past 11_hours⠀⇛ The troubles, according to Microsoft's service status page, began at 2220 UTC on July 9 when it confirmed "users may be unable to access their mailbox using any connection methods." This included Outlook.com, Outlook Mobile, and the Outlook desktop client. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Google_Cloud_keeps_AI_data_in_UK,_but_not the_support⠀⇛ The option is an acknowledgment of local data (if perhaps not operational) sovereignty and compliance needs. Having data heading offshore for AI is a big no-no for many sectors, such as financial services. However, UK support calls will be routed to Google's global support personnel, while EU customers can receive support from personnel located in the bloc. # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ ‘The_vehicle_suddenly_accelerated_with our_baby_in_it’:_the_terrifying_truth_about_why_Tesla’s_cars keep_crashing⠀⇛ Over the next two years, we spoke with crash victims, grieving families and experts around the world. What we uncovered was an ominous black box – a system designed not only to collect and control every byte of customer data, but to safeguard Musk’s vision of autonomous driving. Critical information was sealed off from public scrutiny. # § Artificial Intelligence (AI) / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ Grok’s_Antisemitic_Meltdown_Was Entirely_Predictable⠀⇛ Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, started spewing antisemitic conspiracy theories this week. It’s not the first time something like this has happened — and a reminder that LLMs aren’t truth-telling machines but aggregators of undifferentiated online scribblings. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Elon_Musk_Unveils_Grok_4_Amid_Controversy Over_Chatbot’s_Antisemitic_Posts⠀⇛ # ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ Grok:_searching_X_for_“from:elonmusk (Israel_OR_Palestine_OR_Hamas_OR_Gaza)”⠀⇛ If the system prompt doesn’t tell it to search for Elon’s views, why is it doing that? # ⚓ Nathaniel Snelgrove ☛ Artificial_intelligence_and mastery⠀⇛ “Neither of them would accept unclear explanations as understanding” sums up the entire situation: each time we use AI, we are essentially saying we are fine with somebody else doing this work inside a black box. The tools reveal our priorities. If we rely on AI, we don’t become masters. At some point, the reliance on the tool masters us. # ⚓ The New Leaf Journal ☛ On_Forcing_AI_Where_It_Does Not_Belong⠀⇛ Yet despite agreeing with Mr. Gioia that a perfect boycott of AI is most likely impractical if not impossible, I venture that his position, as presented, is unduly extreme. There may be cases where one has no choice but to use a product with unwanted and ever-encroaching AI features. Some products may be required for professional work. In other cases, there may be no non-AI infested alternative to a product. But for people who are irritated with AI finding its way into their computers and phones, I would recommend carefully considering the following: [...] # ⚓ Matt Webb ☛ AI-operated_vending_machines_and_business process_innovation_(sorry)_(Interconnected)⠀⇛ Hey the song of the summer is autonomous AI and vending machines. And I feel like people are drawing the wrong lesson. It is not oh-ho look the AI can kinda run a shop. The real lesson, which is actionable by businesses today, is about governance. # ⚓ Brian Merchant ☛ AI_Killed_My_Job:_Tech_workers⠀⇛ But the question remains: What’s actually happening on the ground, right now? There’s no doubt that lots of firms are investing heavily in AI and trying to use it to improve productivity and cut labor costs. And it’s clear that in certain industries, especially creative ones, the rise of cheap AI-generated content is hitting workers hard. Yet broader economic data on AI impacts suggests a more limited disruption. Two and a half years after the rise of ChatGPT, after a torrent of promises, CEO talk, and think pieces, how is—or isn’t—AI really reshaping work? # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ ‘AI_is_here_to_stay’_—_is_it,_though? What_do_you_mean,_‘stay’?⠀⇛ Remember that a lot of these people were super convinced by just one really impressive demo that blew their minds. We have computers you can just talk to naturally now and have a conversation! That’s legit amazing, actually! The whole field of natural language processing is 80% solved! The other 20% is where the computer is a lying idiot — and it probably can’t be fixed. That’s a bit of a problem in practice. Generative AI is all like that — it’s genuinely impressive demos with unfixable problems. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Elon_Boasts_of_Grok's_Incredible_Cognitive Power_Hours_After_It_Called_for_a_"Second_Holocaust"⠀⇛ But there's one glaring problem: Musk's bragadocious statements glossed over the fact that Grok had spent most of this week spewing mind-bogglingly racist and antisemitic talking points. The unhinged algorithm even started referring to itself as "MechaHitler," targeting Black and Jewish people with shocking vitriol. It went as far as to call for a "second Holocaust" — in lockstep with the disturbed beliefs of current-day Nazis calling Musk's social media platform their home. # ⚓ India Times ☛ EU_in_touch_with_X_over_Musk's_chatbot posts_praising_Hitler⠀⇛ The EU's digital affairs spokesman, Thomas Regnier, confirmed Poland sent a letter urging an investigation into Grok. The EU will carefully look at it and "respond in due course," he said. "We take this extremely seriously". X has been under investigation since December 2023 under the European Union's landmark content law regarding how it tackles the spread of illegal content and information manipulation. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Genius_Zuckerberg_Poaches_Guy_Responsible for_[Checks_Notes]_the_Disastrous_Apple_Intelligence⠀⇛ Things got so bad that Apple halted the AI news summary feature in January of this year, and it soon emerged that Apple engineers published a paper warning of how buggy the tech was before its launch — but the Tim Cook-run company decided to release it anyway. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Chinese_TV_translations_into_sign language_aren't_going_well⠀⇛ In interviews, viewers reported “they generally couldn’t understand the avatars’ movements and noted that they seemed to have a limited vocabulary, while struggling to handle words with multiple meanings.” Zheng thinks the AIs did badly because “Chinese words cannot be found for the meanings expressed by 50 percent of gestures in Chinese sign language.” # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ AI-generated_child_sexual_abuse videos_surging_online,_watchdog_says⠀⇛ In the first six months of 2025, the UK-based [Internet] safety watchdog verified 1,286 AI- made videos with child sexual abuse material (CSAM) that broke the law, compared with two in the same period last year. The IWF said just over 1,000 of the videos featured category A abuse, the classification for the most severe type of material. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ A.I.-Generated_Images_of_Child Sexual_Abuse_Are_Flooding_the_Internet⠀⇛ A new flood of child sexual abuse material created by artificial intelligence is hitting a tipping point of realism, threatening to overwhelm the authorities. # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ Ben Werdmuller ☛ If_I_ran_X⠀⇛ “After two incredible years,” Linda Yaccarino tweeted, “I’ve decided to step down as CEO of 𝕏.” It was the day after the company’s AI chatbot, Grok, began calling itself MechaHitler and started spewing antisemitic slurs and advocating for Adolf Hitler in public until the company eventually had to remove them. Many of the users still posting to X greeted the antisemitism warmly; some tweeted, “finally”. # ⚓ US Navy Times ☛ Navy_spouse_sues_base_officials_over free_speech_after_Facebook_ban⠀⇛ Sergio Rodriguez, an Army veteran and military family advocate who was named 2022 Navy Spouse of the Year by Armed Forces Insurance, alleges his First Amendment rights were violated when officials banned him from the Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay’s Facebook page and deleted all his comments in August 2024. # § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ # ⚓ Krebs On Security ☛ UK_Arrests_Four_in_‘Scattered Spider’_Ransom_Group⠀⇛ Scattered Spider is the name given to an English-speaking cybercrime group known for using social engineering tactics to break into companies and steal data for ransom, often impersonating employees or contractors to deceive IT help desks into granting access. The FBI warned last month that Scattered Spider had recently shifted to targeting companies in the retail and airline sectors. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ NCA_arrests_four_in_connection_with UK_retail_cyberattacks⠀⇛ All four were charged with offences under the Computer Misuse Act, and for alleged offences related to blackmail, money laundering, and participating in the activities of an organized crime group. # ⚓ The Record ☛ Four_arrested_by_UK_police_over ransomware_attacks_on_M&S,_Co-op_and_Harrods_|_The Record_from_Recorded_Future_News⠀⇛ Four individuals in Britain were arrested early on Thursday morning by the National Crime Agency on suspicion of involvement in a range of ransomware attacks targeting the British retail sector earlier this year. o § Security⠀➾ # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ European Commission ☛ Qualified_certificates_for website_authentication⠀⇛ To ensure trust and transparency in online transaction and that the qualified certificates for website authentication include the required information in a verifiable and structured format, this implementing act sets out a reference standard and, where necessary, specifications and procedures for qualified certificates for website authentication. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Privacy_activists_unmoved_despite Met's_1,000_LFR_arrests_•_The_Register⠀⇛ # ⚓ Thomas Rigby ☛ Not_owning_a_phone_is_privilege⠀⇛ In a world increasingly "digital" having a phone is bordering on a necessity. As White himself points out he "can’t listen to my music in my car, can’t park at a parking lot by myself because of QR codes, etc. etc.". Which means that someone else has been doing that for him. # ⚓ EFF ☛ EFF_Tells_Virginia_Court_That_Constitutional Privacy_Protections_Forbid_Cops_from_Finding_out Everyone_Who_Searched_for_a_Keyword⠀⇛ But as EFF and the ACLU explained in our amicus brief on appeal, reverse keyword warrants simply cannot be conducted in a lawful way. They invert privacy protections, threaten free speech and inquiry, and fundamentally conflict with the principles underlying the Fourth Amendment and its analog in the Virginia Constitution. The court of appeals now has a chance to say so and protect the rights of Internet users well beyond state lines. # ⚓ EDRI ☛ What_the_final_GDPR_Procedural_Regulation could_cost_us⠀⇛ After years of debate, the GDPR Procedural Regulation has been finalised. Despite some improvements, the final text may entrench old problems and create new ones, undermining people’s rights and potentially opening the door to weakening the GDPR itself. # ⚓ EFF ☛ Data_Brokers_are_Selling_Your_Flight Information_to_CBP_and_ICE⠀⇛ For many years, data brokers have existed in the shadows, exploiting gaps in privacy laws to harvest our information—all for their own profit. They sell our precise movements without our knowledge or meaningful consent to a variety of private and state actors, including law enforcement agencies. And they show no sign of stopping. This incentivizes other bad actors. If companies collect any kind of personal data and want to make a quick buck, there’s a data broker willing to buy it and sell it to the highest bidder–often law enforcement and intelligence agencies. # ⚓ Semafor Inc ☛ Swedish_PM’s_bodyguards_accidentally reveal_location_on_Strava⠀⇛ Members of Ulf Kristersson’s security detail kept their Strava profiles open, meaning that the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter could track his movements, including going for a run with the leaders of Norway and Finland in the Norwegian town of Bodø. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Apple_To_Warn_FaceTime Users_During_Phone_Sex:_'You_May_Be_Showing_Something Sensitive'⠀⇛ This rather direct alert from Apple reflects upon the new development, underscoring the evolving landscape of digital privacy and the distinct challenges posed by video communication. # ⚓ [Old] Micah F Lee ☛ Using_Signal_groups_for activism⠀⇛ Given this, activists use and trust Signal over other messaging apps for a few reasons: [...] # ⚓ [Repeat] Bruce Schneier ☛ Yet_Another_Strava_Privacy Leak_-_Schneier_on_Security⠀⇛ This time it’s the Swedish prime minister’s bodyguards. (Last year, it was the US Secret Service and Emmanuel Macron’s bodyguards. in 2018, it was secret US military bases.) # § Confidentiality⠀➾ # ⚓ RIPE ☛ How_Secure_Are_My_Sessions?⠀⇛ TLS session security isn't just about encryption - it’s about where and how that encryption is terminated. This article explores common risks in TLS deployments and how to align them with modern security principles like Zero Trust. # ⚓ SANS ☛ Setting_up_Your_Own_Certificate_Authority_for Development:_Why_and_How.⠀⇛ There are several reasons why one would set up an internal certificate authority. Some are configured to support strong authentication schemes, some for additional flexibility and convenience. I am going to cover the second part. In particular, it can be helpful for developers to have an internal certificate authority to issue certificates for development purposes. Websites used for development and internal testing are usually only used by a few individuals and are generally only accessible via internal networks or VPNs. Often, these sites do not even use TLS. But there are a few reasons why you should consider running TLS on all sites, including internal development sites: [...] o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Ex-ASML_engineer_who_stole_chip_tech_for Russia_gets_3_years⠀⇛ The Rotterdam District Court convicted an unnamed 43-year-old defendant of computer hacking and violating EU sanctions by illegally providing technical assistance to Russia. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_Reactionary_Coup_of_America_Continues Apace⠀⇛ This coup succeeds only if we remain passive spectators to our own democracy’s dismantling. Americans going about their lives, worried about putting food on the table, getting their kids ready for a new school year, simply cannot bring on board these existential realities. The gap between the magnitude of what is happening and our capacity to feel its significance represents one of the most dangerous disconnects in American history. But gravity is real. We are falling fast. And history will not wake Americans gently. The psychological trauma approaches whether we prepare for it or not. # ⚓ Garry Kasparov ☛ New_Podcast_with_The_Atlantic_Launching Tomorrow:_Autocracy_in_America⠀⇛ Every fresh insult to American institutions—whether from the White House or a seemingly impotent political opposition—drives home the need to talk about authoritarianism in this country. But the parade of outrages also means it’s difficult to parse what’s really important. It makes the abnormal normal. It numbs our senses, reducing our physiological feedback over each successive crisis to a dull pain. # ⚓ Atlantic Council ☛ Dispatch_from_Svalbard:_Tensions_are simmering_in_the_High_North⠀⇛ Russia has been dusting off Soviet nostalgia by hosting Victory Day parades in Barentsburg, an isolated and nearly defunct Russian mining town located more than an hour by boat from Longyearbyen. Russian residents there have been observed wearing Soviet-era coal mining uniforms. Through binoculars, we saw a tattered Soviet flag flying; another Soviet flag has reportedly been placed atop a mountain peak at the nearly abandoned Russian settlement of Pyramiden. All these acts are intended both to antagonize the Norwegian hosts and to cultivate evocative messaging back home in Russia. While Russia does have a limited history in Svalbard, some observers we spoke with felt that Moscow has been contriving deeper cultural and historical connections than are reflected by the facts. It is hard to imagine that these are simply isolated examples of nostalgic revivalism rather than an intentional and coordinated initiative by the Kremlin. # ⚓ SBS ☛ Afghan_refugee_facing_deportation_pleads_with Australian_government⠀⇛ Ahmad had been working as a social activist at an NGO promoting universal human rights, including the right for women and girls to be educated, and supporting efforts to peacefully oppose the Taliban's extreme interpretation of Islamic law. # ⚓ USMC ☛ Lejeune_Marines_run_first_live_munition_drop_from fielded_drone⠀⇛ Marines used weaponized small drones, which included the SkyRaider and Neros Archer. # ⚓ US DOD ☛ Marines_Conduct_Live-Fire_Test_of_Lethal_Drone Munitions_at_Camp_Lejeune⠀⇛ The event marked the first time a program-of-record (meaning a system formally fielded and sustained by the Marine Corps) UAS delivered a live lethal munition on Camp Lejeune, with a SkyRaider, a quadcopter used by Marines for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) dropping the Mjölnir munition onto a designated target followed by mortar fire and a Javelin strike in a simulated company-level assault. # ⚓ TwinCities Pioneer Press ☛ TikTok_faces_fresh_European privacy_investigation_over_China_data_transfers⠀⇛ “The purpose of the inquiry is to determine whether TikTok has complied with its relevant obligations under the GDPR in the context of the transfers now at issue, including the lawfulness of the transfers,” the regulator said, referring to the European Union’s strict privacy rules, known as the General Data Protection Regulation. TikTok, which is owned by China’s ByteDance, has been under scrutiny in Europe over how it handles personal user information amid concerns from Western officials that it poses a security risk. # ⚓ The Moscow Times ☛ Russia_Plans_USAID-Inspired_Development Model_in_Bid_to_Extend_Global_Influence⠀⇛ The initiative reflects Russia’s broader push to assert its presence on the global stage amid Western sanctions and growing competition for influence in developing regions, particularly in the Global South. # ⚓ New Eastern Europe ☛ Latvia's_path_to_becoming_Europe’s drone_powerhouse⠀⇛ Motivation remains high in Latvia to continue efforts to aid Ukraine, with the country’s small size encouraging specialization. This is best seen in the recently announced Drone Coalition, which will see Riga lead allied efforts to deliver much- needed unmanned systems to Kyiv. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ TikTok_Canada_Yanks_Sponsorships—Juno Awards,_MusiCounts,_ADISQ⠀⇛ TikTok has also worked with TIFF since 2022, sponsoring its Short Cuts and Special Presentations programs and supporting panels featuring Canadian creators. The company is also ending its partnership with ADISQ, Quebec’s music industry association and the organizer of the province’s biggest music awards gala. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ A_Separate_US-Based_TikTok_Has_Been_In The_Works_for_Months⠀⇛ The separation means U.S.-based artists may see increased domestic visibility at the expense of their global reach. International creators could face challenges in accessing the American market, potentially affecting cross-border collaborations and music discovery for Americans. # ⚓ India Times ☛ EU_opens_new_probe_into_TikTok_data_transfer to_China⠀⇛ The DPC on Thursday said it had been informed by TikTok in April that "limited EEA user data had in fact been stored on servers in China," contrary to evidence presented by the company. # ⚓ Reuters ☛ Exclusive:_TikTok_prepares_US_app_with_its_own algorithm_and_user_data ⠀⇛ Over the past several months, TikTok employees have been working under tight deadlines to build a new, U.S.-specific version of TikTok by transferring and duplicating the application's codebase — including AI models, algorithms, features, and user data — from the global platform, current employees at the company told Reuters, who requested anonymity while discussing private matters. # ⚓ Air Force Times ☛ Fighter_pilots_integrate_drones_into_air combat_training⠀⇛ Pilots of an F-16C Fighting Falcon and an F-15 Strike Eagle controlled two Valkryie drones each while flying, wielding them while performing combat maneuvers. The pilots successfully used their skills in harmony with the unmanned aerial vehicles in realtime. # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ TikTok_Faces_Fresh_European Privacy_Investigation_Over_China_Data_Transfers⠀⇛ The Data Protection Commission opened the inquiry as a follow up to a previous investigation that ended earlier this year with a 530 million euro ($620 million) fine after it found the video sharing app put users at risk of spying by allowing remote access their data from China. # ⚓ Vox ☛ TikTok,_YouTube,_and_Instagram_are_full_of_little vertical_videos._It’s_cooking_our_brains.⠀⇛ In the near future, the [Internet] may not only be wall-to-wall little videos. Those little videos may also be filled with slop, the term for AI-generated garbage content that is perhaps even more insidious in robbing us of our attention. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Does_Trump’s_Biggest_[Cryptocurrency]_Backer Really_Exist?⠀⇛ It’s unclear where the real money powering this deal originated. Cryptocurrency allows for a degree of discretion and pseudonymity, if not total privacy, in financial transactions. Someone can spin up a website and press release and send $80 million worth of [cryptocurrency] to the US president’s associates without leaving the couch. It’s possible that Aqua 1 Foundation is a real Emirati company, but it’s just as possible that it could be a front for any number of foreign financial or political interests seeking favors from Trump. # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ Of_Course_Trump_Doesn’t_Want_to_Release the_Epstein_Files⠀⇛ Not only was Trump intimately close to Jeffrey Epstein, but there is a wealth of reporting tying the billionaire pedophile to intelligence circles. Trump is once again protecting the elites he claimed he would fight on the campaign trail. # ⚓ The Washington Spectator ☛ Trump_and_Epstein_Secret Connections_|_Washington_Spectator⠀⇛ Happily we can thank The Court of History—one of the best of the new online interview shows—for shedding light on this boiling pot. The program is hosted by author, journalist and political savant Sidney Blumenthal together with the prolific Princeton historian Sean Wilentz. The featured guest for the Epstein episode is Michael Wolff, one of the foremost chroniclers of the Trump era, who has a lot to report about Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ Environmental_impact_of_common_pesticides seriously_underestimated,_finds_research⠀⇛ Global use of pesticides has doubled since 1990, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, raising concerns about the potential impact on health and the environment. In light of their new findings, the research team argues that regulatory frameworks governing the human and environmental safety of these pesticides should be urgently updated. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Microsoft_says_regulations_are_cramping its_Euro_expansion⠀⇛ Microsoft intends to more than double its European datacenter capacity by 2027, but suspects this won't be easy because of all the red tape and environmental safeguards it faces. # ⚓ Energy Mix Productions Inc ☛ Climate_Disasters_Like_Texas Floods_Moving_Faster_Than_Science_Can_Keep_Up⠀⇛ Winkley said moisture from the Gulf of Mexico created the storm that led to about 25 to 38 centimetres of rainfall on Kerr County alone. According to Climate Central, “large amounts of moisture in the air fueled the storm that moved slowly—dumping what is estimated to be more than 100 billion gallons of water, more than the daily flow over Niagara Falls.” # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ The_End_of_Airport_Shoe-Screening_Is Populism_Theater⠀⇛ The TSA’s mandate to go shoeless, like the volume limit on toiletry items (to thwart the assembly of explosives from liquids) and the need to remove laptops from carry-on bags (to better examine them for hidden threats), came to give the mere appearance of vigilance: not security but security theater. From the start, it provided newly federalized and uniformed TSA agents with stuff to do at every moment, and government officials with the chance to embrace “an abundance of caution,” a stock idea that can transform almost any inconvenience into leadership. Now, by closing the curtain on the shoe requirements, Noem has indulged in a rival form of spectacle: populism theater. Her new policy gives citizens something they actually want, and something that has until this point been reserved for upscale travelers who pay for premium airport-security-hopping services. But with this week’s change, the system hasn’t really been democratized so much as made indifferent. In this case, the fact of the TSA’s doing less—and caring less—just happens to be helpful. # ⚓ Renewable Energy World ☛ Minnesota_regulators_approve over_475_MW_of_new_solar_and_storage_projects⠀⇛ The Iron Pine Solar Project received a site permit for a 325 MW solar energy facility in Pine County, along with a route permit for a 1-mile, 230 kilovolt (kV) generation tie-line that will connect the project to the grid. The project represents one of the largest single-site solar installations approved in the state. The Iron Pine project was submitted by Iron Pine Solar Power, LLC (Iron Pine Solar), a wholly owned subsidiary of Swift Current Energy # ⚓ MIT Technology Review ☛ China’s_energy_dominance_in three_charts⠀⇛ China is the dominant force in next- generation energy technologies today. It’s pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into putting renewable sources like wind and solar on its grid, manufacturing millions of electric vehicles, and building out capacity for energy storage, nuclear power, and more. This investment has been transformational for the country’s economy and has contributed to establishing China as a major player in global politics. # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ Light_at_the_end_of_the_tunnels: classic_rail_routes_through_the_Alps_reopen⠀⇛ After serious floods and landslides, some of the great trans-Alpine routes have reopened – with new services added – offering unforgettable train journeys from Austria to the Adriatic # ⚓ Smithsonian Magazine ☛ The_Architect_Who_Designed_the Iconic_Entrances_to_the_Paris_Métro_Is_Finally_Getting the_Attention_He_Deserves⠀⇛ Today, Paris’ Art Nouveau Métro station entrances are iconic fixtures of the French capital. But when they were unveiled in the early 1900s, locals weren’t impressed. Many of the controversial designs were destroyed, and only 88 of the original 167 survive today. # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ The Revelator ☛ Freedom_of_Voice:_A_Newcomer’s_Guide to_Safe_and_Effective_Protesting⠀⇛ # ⚓ New York State Parks & HIstoric Sites Blog ☛ Dark Skies_for_Fireflies:_Searching_for_New_York’s_Rare Nighttime_Wonders   _|_New_York_State_Parks_and Historic_Sites_Blog⠀⇛ They found that there are large data gaps. Over half of the firefly species assessed in the US and Canada are threatened with extinction or lacking enough information for a determination of their conservation status. According to the IUCN Red List Assessments based on global conservation concern, 12 percent of New York’s firefly species are threatened with extinction or are species of conservation concern. The conservation status for 33 percent of New York’s fireflies is “Data Deficient,” so there isn’t enough information to understand how well or how poorly they are doing. # § Overpopulation⠀➾ # ⚓ Breach Media ☛ What_water_can_teach_us_about resistance_and_survival⠀⇛ She holds a PhD from the University of Manitoba and teaches at the Dechinta Centre for Research and Learning in Deninde. Her accolades are too long to list here, but she is the author of eight books, including the recently released Theory of Water, and she joins me today from her home in Peterborough. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Baby_bust:_Why_the_French_want_fewer children_–_or_none_at_all⠀⇛ Last year, 12.2 percent of French people said they didn’t want to have children, more than twice the number from 2005, according to a study released on Wednesday by national demography institute INED. The figure is even higher in the 18-29 age group, roughly equivalent to “Gen Z”, with 15% percent of men and 13.3 percent of women saying they do not want to be parents. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Tor ☛ Our_commitment_to_donor_privacy_at_Tor⠀⇛ Since 2013, the Tor Project has been using CiviCRM as part of our stack to accept donations, manage donor profiles, and facilitate donor communications. As the only true open source CRM, CiviCRM and the Tor Project share a commitment to open and transparent technology. Choosing open source technology like CiviCRM allows us to fully control our systems and securely handle your personal information. This approach minimizes the risk of a system hack and prevents third-parties from accessing your data. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ The_Rise_and_Fall_of_the_Knowledge Worker⠀⇛ What he meant by this was that since the 1970s, supporters of globalization assumed that while some workers in places like the United States might lose manufacturing jobs, most would adapt. They would, to use a phrase that became a meme in the 2010s, “learn to code.” By swapping coalfaces for laptops, workers in the United States, where high-value jobs would be concentrated, would occupy a higher position in the global value chain than their counterparts in the Global South. What happened instead, Vance lamented, was that “as they got better at the low end, they began catching up at the high end too.” # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ EU_explains_how_to_do_AI_without_breaking the_law⠀⇛ The European Commission announced the publication of the General-Purpose AI Code of Practice on Wednesday with the goal of helping folks comply with the AI Act. Parties subject to the Act will be able to sign on to the Code to indicate that they're in compliance, but it's purely voluntary. Broken into three parts, the Code has two brief chapters outlining responsibilities AI companies face regarding transparency and obeying copyright, as well as a much longer section on safety and security that the Commission noted is "relevant only to a limited number of providers of the most advanced models." # ⚓ Futurism ☛ CEO_of_Twitter_Suddenly_Departing_After_Grok's "MechaHitler"_Crisis⠀⇛ In other words, Yaccarino, brought on as a fixer of broken relationships, had her work cut out to encourage advertisers to return to Musk's hate speech incubator. Mere months into her stint as the company's CEO, colleagues from the advertising industry were already privately advising Yaccarino to jump ship to save herself following Musk's hateful outbursts. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Anthropic_makes_generative_AI_widely available_at_major_national_lab⠀⇛ Anthropic is making the enterprise version of its chatbot Claude available to the entire staff of the Lawrence Livermore National Lab, the artificial intelligence company announced Wednesday. # ⚓ European Commission ☛ General-Purpose_AI_Code_of_Practice now_available⠀⇛ The Code consists of three chapters: Transparency and Copyright, both addressing all providers of general-purpose AI models, and Safety and Security, relevant only to a limited number of providers of the most advanced models. # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ AI_gold_rush_propels_Nvidia to_record_$4-trillion_market_cap⠀⇛ Nvidia notched a market capitalisation of US$4- trillion on Wednesday, making it the first public company in the world to reach the milestone and solidifying its position as one of Wall Street’s most-favoured stocks. # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ What_Steve_Jobs_feared_is_now the_tech_industry's_reality⠀⇛ “There was no question they were colluding,” recalled economist Orley Ashenfelter, who testified as a witness in one of the civil cases. The legal fallout “sent a lesson to the human resources people in the various companies as to what is really appropriate to do. The question is: how long does that lesson last?” # ⚓ EFF ☛ It's_EFF's_35th_Anniversary_(And_We're_Just_Getting Started)⠀⇛ Throughout EFF’s year-long 35th Anniversary celebration, our dedicated activists, investigators, technologists, and attorneys will share the lessons from EFF’s long and rich history so that we can help overcome the obstacles ahead. Thanks to you, EFF is here to stay. # ⚓ Freedom From Religion Foundation ☛ Sorry,_FFRF_—_IRS_says churches_can_give_political_endorsements_from_the_pulpit_— Freedom_From_Religion_Foundation⠀⇛ # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Has_the_Climate_Movement_Been_Too Polite?_This_Senator_Thinks_So.⠀⇛ “The fossil fuel industry has run the biggest and most malevolent propaganda operation the country has ever seen,” the Rhode Island Democrat said in an interview Monday with the global media collaboration Covering Climate Now. “It is defending a $700-plus billion [annual] subsidy” of not being charged for the health and environmental damages caused by burning fossil fuels. “I think the more people understand that, the more they’ll be irate [that] they’ve been lied to.” But, he added, “Democrats have not done a good job of calling that out.” # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Oklahoma_Sued_Again_For_Mandating_Students Be_Taught_Election_Conspiracy_Theories,_Bible_Stories⠀⇛ Like far too many states in the current Trump era, Oklahoma has also decided the Constitution is meaningless and that whatever the government wants, it can have. In this case, it means mandating every school classroom contain a Bible that must be “taught” from, as well as expanding the concept of “social studies” to include election and COVID conspiracy theories espoused by Trump and his supporters. # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ Texas_Flood_Conspiracies_Theories_Are Being_Pushed_by_Right-Wingers⠀⇛ For years now, virtually every national tragedy — natural or manmade — is accompanied by a barrage of right-wing conspiracy theories. The deadly and devastating floods that ravaged central Texas over the Fourth of July weekend are no different. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ The Nation ☛ The_Trump_Administration_Is_Airbrushing History⠀⇛ Identified from a database obtained by the Associated Press, the targeted subjects included Brooklyn Dodgers baseball star Jackie Robinson, pictured during his Army service before becoming the first Black to reach the major leagues in 1947; the Tuskegee Airmen, who were the nation’s first Black military pilots during World War II; and the Navajo Code Talkers, a Native American Marine Corps unit who used their tribal language on the radio for top-secret communications during the war against Japan. Other banned photos showed women who broke significant gender barriers like Major Lisa Jaster, the first woman to graduate from the Army’s Ranger School, and Colonel Jeannie Leavitt, the Air Force’s first female fighter pilot. # ⚓ Wired ☛ DHS_Tells_Police_That_Common_Protest_Activities_Are ‘Violent_Tactics’⠀⇛ DHS is urging law enforcement to treat even skateboarding and livestreaming as signs of violent intent during a protest, turning everyday behavior into a pretext for police action. # ⚓ The Moscow Times ☛ Death_by_Falling:_A_Timeline_of_Cases Across_Russia_and_Abroad_-_The_Moscow_Times⠀⇛ A growing number of Russian officials, business executives and public figures have died under strange or violent circumstances since the full- scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Many were said to have fallen from windows and balconies. # ⚓ Greece ☛ Turkey_detains_hundreds_of_Erdogan_opponents_in pursuit_of_‘octopus’_of_corruption⠀⇛ The investigation, which began in Istanbul but has spread across the country, has targeted only municipalities run by the main opposition Republican People’s Party, or CHP, the party of modern Turkey’s secularist founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Mahmoud_Khalil_sues_Trump_administration_for_$20 million_over_detention⠀⇛ "The administration carried out its illegal plan to arrest, detain, and deport Mr. Khalil 'in a manner calculated to terrorise him and his family,' the claim says," according to the Center for Constitutional Rights which is backing Khalil. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Elon_Musk_Asks_Analyst_Pointing_Out_Tesla_Issues to_"Shut_Up"⠀⇛ It's unclear which aspect of Ives' three-part suggestion list the billionaire took the most affront to, but if we had to wager a guess, we'd say that he is amply opposed to the idea of there being any outside control over his politicking. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Idaho_AG_Office_Forces_Schools_To_Take_Down ‘Everyone_Is_Welcome’_Signs_For_Being_‘Political’⠀⇛ It’s been interesting to watch the current administration and its GOP backers contort themselves into logical pretzels to explain to Americans why their policies, which are clearly either steeped or tinged with racist elements, are not in fact racist. Immigration policies and practices that are conducted without such annoyances as due process are waved off as the mere enforcement of the law, ignoring just how selective that enforcement is. Facilities that are plainly echoing the practices of the Third Reich, or at least the practice of Japanese concentration camps, are laughed off as though they were exaggerations when they absolutely are not. Instances of fascism, up to and including the military marching the streets of our cities and deployed against our own people, are described not for what it is, but through Orwellian euphemisms to shrug at what should be a scandal. # ⚓ Task And Purpose ☛ Colonel_restricted_whistleblowing soldier's_rights_after_Red_Hill_leak⠀⇛ “[McAdams’] rank and position of authority, combined with apparent reference to congressional engagement being the source of negative actions and display of a dismissive attitude and demeanor toward concerns, would deter a reasonable service member from lawfully communicating with a member of Congress or an IG,” the IG found on Feindt’s interactions with McAdams. The actions of McAdams that the IG found to constitute illegal interference came in a meeting between the two officers in early 2022. Feindt was in touch with at least one member of Congress at the time of the meeting and continued to be after the meeting. # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ Turkish_court_orders_ban_on_Grok_over_profane responses⠀⇛ The ban is linked to the AI tool's offensive responses targeting Atatürk, Erdoğan and the Prophet Muhammad. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Iranian_dissident_hunters⠀⇛ “Iran has been a persistent perpetrator of transnational repression for decades. It changes depending on the political situation,” says Marcus Michaelson, an Iran expert at the Toronto-based Citizen Lab. “The scale and scope has widened… so it has intensified.” Iran’s government has become more hard-line and aggressive in the last decade. The violent treatment of the opposition in exile has escalated, as well. To capture dissidents abroad, the regime outsources espionage and hitmen to corrupt local authorities and organized crime. “It’s easier for them to deny the operation and have other people doing the dirty work for them,” Michaelson says. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Nebraska Examiner ☛ US_Senate_GOP_under_pressure_on_Trump demand_to_defund_NPR,_PBS,_foreign_aid⠀⇛ But objections from several GOP senators could stop the legislation in its tracks, or change it substantially, requiring another House vote in a very short time frame. Rejecting the plan would represent a loss for the Trump administration after passage of the “big, beautiful” tax and spending cut law earlier this month. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., appears optimistic he can secure the votes needed to begin debate, though he hasn’t said publicly if he thinks the bill can actually pass. # ⚓ CPJ ☛ X_accuses_India_of_press_censorship_after_it_blocks news_outlets’_accounts⠀⇛ “This incident once again underscores the serious lack of transparency and accountability in how the Indian government issues and enforces orders for the removal of social media content and the blocking of accounts,” said Kunāl Majumder, CPJ’s India representative. “Any action affecting journalists or news organizations must be based on clear legal grounds, be subject to independent judicial oversight, and not infringe on press freedom. India still lacks a credible mechanism to review or challenge these opaque and arbitrary orders.” # ⚓ ANF News ☛ Seven_journalists_and_two_politicians_face prison_sentences_over_protest_for_Nazım_and_Cihan⠀⇛ Two days later, on 21 December, press associations based in Turkey wanted to make a public statement in Istanbul against the murder of their colleagues. However, the police forcibly prevented the gathering and detained almost 60 people. One day later, a court of emergency ordered the imprisonment of seven journalists and two local politicians from the DEM Party. # ⚓ Northwestern University ☛ Journalist_Deserts⠀⇛ In their research that creates the Local Journalist Index, they found that more than 1,000 (of the 3,141) U.S. counties do not have even one full-time local journalist, and the shortage isn’t limited to rural areas. Even in densely populated cities like Los Angeles, there are very few local journalists, proportional to the city’s population. The decline is such that less than 25 years ago, there were roughly 40 local journalists per 100,000 residents. Now, that ratio is just 8.2 per 100,000. Only 4% of counties in the United States have about the same ratio of local journalists relative to population as they did in the early 2000s, according to the report. # ⚓ Northwestern University ☛ Meeting_Your_Audience_Where_They Are_–_Literally⠀⇛ Like other local news organizations, these outlets are operating in a rapidly changing environment as social media algorithms and the use of AI tools sharply curtail digital traffic. As these evolving consumer behaviors affect their readership and bottom lines, many local news leaders are moving aggressively to strengthen their direct, one-to-one relationship with their audience. And some of them are turning to events as one way to build trust, relevance and revenue for their news organizations. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ German_Foreign_Minister Expresses_Concern_About_Human_Rights_Under_Taliban⠀⇛ "There are serious concerns about the humanitarian situation there, the human rights situation in Afghanistan, and particularly the situation of women and girls, and we, as the federal government, will continue to make these clear to the Taliban's de facto regime," said Wadephul in Vienna. # ⚓ EFF ☛ No_Face,_No_Case:_California’s_S.B._627_Demands_Cops Show_Their_Faces⠀⇛ This is a necessary move. The right to record police, and to hold government actors accountable for their actions, requires that we know who the government actors are in the first place. The new legislation seeks to cover federal officers in addition to state and local officials, protecting Californians from otherwise unaccountable law enforcement activity. # ⚓ EFF ☛ EFF_Letter_of_Support_on_CA_S.B._627⠀⇛ The public has a legal and constitutional right to record police officers in public spaces, a right that becomes hollow if there is no way to identify the officers being recorded. Without identification, even the most damning video footage cannot support a proper investigation, lawsuit, or public accountability effort. Existing California law already requires that officers wear visible identification, and police transparency reforms passed in 2018 (S.B.1421, 2018) opened personnel files in serious misconduct cases. S.B. 627 is a necessary and logical extension of those reforms. For these reasons, we support S.B. 627 and respectfully urge your "aye" vote. Thank you. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Despite_A_Flood_Of_New_State_Laws,_Most Industries_Still_Suck_On_‘Right_To_Repair’⠀⇛ But according to a new report by U.S. PIRG, most industries and companies aren’t really changing their ways. U.S. PIRG graded 25 products, five each in five different categories: dishwashers, phones, tablets, laptops and gaming devices. The manufacturers were graded as to how readily they provided customers with the parts and manuals needed to repair products. The results were… not good: [...] # ⚓ PIRG ☛ Leaders_and_Laggards_II⠀⇛ A scorecard of 25 products to assess how easily and thoroughly consumers can access repair documentation and spare parts Some one-third of Americans live in a state with a Right to Repair law that requires manufacturers to provide fair access to repair materials including spare parts and service manuals. But our report finds that, despite these requirements, many manufacturers do not provide the things people need for repairs # ⚓ CBC ☛ Will_a_'Free_Tibet'_die_with_the_Dalai_Lama?⠀⇛ The Dalai Lama has spent almost his entire adult life as a refugee from his homeland of Tibet. Fleeing Chinese persecution in the 1950s, he has built a nation in exile, striving to preserve Tibetan culture as not just the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, but as a global ambassador for his people's cause. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ U.S._Consumer_Protection_Is_Dead:_Lobbyists_And Lawyers_Kill_New_FTC_Rule_That_Would_Have_Made_It_Easier_To Cancel_Subscriptions⠀⇛ The FTC revamp of the FTC’s 1973 “Negative Option Rule,” required companies be transparent about the limitations of promotions, prohibited them from making cancelling services difficult or impossible, required clearer consumer consent, and generally made cancelling a service as easy as signing up. But just as the basic and popular new rule was poised to take effect this week, it was summarily executed by the 8th Circuit court of appeals, thanks primarily to several key Trump appointees. The court sided with gym companies, marketing firms, and insurance companies who sued to stop the rule. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ The_Precarious_Position_of_Iranian_Jews⠀⇛ Some of these Jewish Iranians have reportedly now been released—but some, also reportedly, remain in custody. My emphasis on reportedly is because a climate of fear inside the country makes full information difficult to obtain. Publicity is the last thing Iran’s Jews need: Their entire survival strategy has been to lead the most inconspicuous lives possible—and news of detentions is more attention than the community wants. # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ Royal_Mail_to_save_up_to_£425m_as_it slashes_second-class_post⠀⇛ The announcement comes after Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky completed his £3.6bn takeover of Royal Mail, which has led to the departure of the company’s chief executive in recent weeks. The deal marks the first time the postal service has fallen into foreign ownership in its 500-year history. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Ikea’s_latest_speaker_lamp_ditches_Sonos_for Spotify_and_inexpensive_Bluetooth⠀⇛ To illustrate that point, Granath showed The Verge an unannounced battery-powered Bluetooth speaker with a flat circular design. It hovers on a stand above a small tray that looks like it could be used for keys, wallet, and a phone, or even some mixed nuts if you prefer. It’s these types of dual-use smart home integrations — speakers inside lamps and shelves, air purifiers and wireless chargers built into tables — that I particularly enjoy from Ikea. § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o ⚓ Nick Heer ☛ Apple_Formally_Appeals_DMA_Penalty⠀⇛ If regulators have taken on such an involved role in App Store policy, one has to wonder when that started. Was it the result of the April penalty, or has it been an ongoing conversation? If it is the latter, it suggests many other questions. o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ FBI_Seizes_Gaming_Piracy_Domains_Including 'Pre-Release'_Target_NSW2U⠀⇛ The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has seized the domain names of several gaming-related pirate sites, including NSW2U.com, which has been Nintendo's nemesis for years. The operation was carried out in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies, including the Dutch fiscal police. It is not immediately clear whether the action is linked to any arrests or indictments. # ⚓ Lou Plummer ☛ True_Confessions_-_My_Life_on_the_High_Seas⠀⇛ In 1999, I was one of the first people on the beta installation of broadband in my community, having signed up two years prior on the waiting list. As a reward for waiting, I got my first six months free. At this point, I became the biggest outlaw I have ever been in my life. I lived an existence of pure piracy. Napster was just getting started, and I was in love with it. I downloaded every single one of Rolling Stone's top 500 albums I didn't already own. Then I made sure I got every one of the top 500 songs too. Then I started on discographies. 42 Fleetwood Mac albums. 39 Van Morrison albums. Johnny Cash had close to 75 albums, and I went after them all. It was glorious, the Wild West, and a time we will never see again. # ⚓ US Library of Conggress ☛ Are_You_a_Visual_Learner?_Our_New Copyright_Registration_Toolkit_is_for_You!_|_Copyright⠀⇛ The U.S. Copyright Office recently released the Copyright Registration Toolkit: a highly visual guide that breaks down key steps and concepts to help creators navigate the copyright system. The toolkit was designed for authors, artists, musicians, and others as they manage their own creative works as well as for business and legal advisors who support creators in copyright registration. The project was led by Attorney-Advisor Jessica Chinnadurai, who I sat down with to explore this new resource. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Sci-Hub's_Crypto_Coin_Aims_to_Power_a_New Era_of_'Open'_Science⠀⇛ Sci-Hub has launched its own SCI token through which it hopes to unlock more paywalled research. The controversial shadow library, which is used by millions of researchers around the globe, sees this as the next step to decentralize science and reward knowledge sharing. Whether this pirate 'tokenomics' works in practice has yet to be seen. # ⚓ MIT Technology Review ☛ This_tool_strips_away_anti-AI protections_from_digital_art⠀⇛ These artists got some potential defenses in 2023, when researchers created tools like Glaze and Nightshade to protect artwork by “poisoning” it against AI training (Shawn Shan was even named MIT Technology Review’s Innovator of the Year last year for his work on these). LightShed, however, claims to be able to subvert these tools and others like them, making it easy for the artwork to be used for training once again. * "Nat_[Friedman]_and_[the_Serial_Strangler_From_Microsoft]_Were_Always Exceptionally_Close,"_Says_Former_Housemate_and_Colleague * Links_11/07/2025:_Hardware,_Russia,_and_China ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 6914 ➮ Generation completed at 02:49, i.e. 18 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
