"They posted an_article that's about slop, and mostly slop." "I went on a date with a chatbot!" "It was romantic. There I was in the fancy restaurant by myself pecking into the phone. Then we went for a lovely ride down the canal where again I was alone pecking at the phone. The gondolier stared, disapprovingly, and then back to a nice five star hotel for an evening of vigorous masturbation, buzz buzz buzz, again, typing what I was doing into the phone. I am fulfilled. Not once did the chatbot judge me or try to change the topic as I kept droning on about my dead husband. Truly this is the future." Given recent cuts (it has gone on for years already) slop in BillPR would not surprise anybody. They already used as "filler" a bunch of articles from other sites; maybe they think slop will give them 'originals'. But why would people bother reading that? As Ryan put it: "Has this gotten just about stupid enough for everyone yet?" "It's just a complete waste of time and article space. Why would NPR post horseshit like this?" For the record, some of this was edited by a human, but a lot is pasted from a chatbot. "Some of it is pasted slop about what the "AI boyfriend" "said"," Ryan explains.

Software Freedom Matters, Whereas "Open Source" Misses the Point and Helps Monopolies⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 15, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNU_Linux⦈_ 1.5 months ago: [Video]_Cory_Doctorow_Explains_DMCA:_DRM_in_the_Browser_(or Webapp)_Will_"Make_It_a_Felony_to_Protect_Your_Privacy_While_You_Use_It." Cory Doctorow has this new_article in which he explains why the "Open Source" "partisans [exist]: first, they didn’t like the ambiguity of “free software.” Famously, Richard Stallman (who coined “free software”) viewed this ambiguity as a feature, not a bug. He liked that “free” had a double meaning: “free as in speech” (an ethical proposition) and “free as in beer” (without cost). Stallman viewed the ambiguity of “free software” as a koan/conversation-starter: a normie, hearing “free software,” would inquire as to whether this meant that the software couldn’t be sold commercially, which was an opening for free software advocates to explain the moral philosophy of software freedom." Today I learned about someone who uses Ubuntu (GNU/Linux) and refers to that as "Open Source". The corporate media helped promote this term, evading any discussion about freedom or respect for the dignity of computer users. That really ought to be considered in light of the forces that led to this. We'll soon_show_some_more_OSI_scandals. Doctorow explains: "But the “open source” side wasn’t solely motivated by a desire to simplify things by jettisoning the requirement to conscript curious bystanders into a philosophical colloquy. Many of them also disagreed with the philosophy of free software. They weren’t excited about building a “commons” or in preventing rent extraction by monopolistic firms. Some of them quite liked the idea of someday extracting their own rents." "At the outset," Doctorow explains further down (after a discussion about Wikileaks' CIA leaks and national security aspects), "“open source” and “free software” were synonyms. All code that was open was also free, and vice-versa." Here's the punchline: "But only Google, Apple, Microsoft and Facebook get to decide whether to run it, and how to configure it. And since nearly all the code our users depend on takes a loop through a Big Tech cloud, the decisions made by these Big Tech firms set the outer boundaries of what our code can do. They have total freedom while we make do with the crumbs they drop from on high. In other words, the freedom mattered, and when we forgot about it, we lost it." It's a very long article and he must have spent a long time preparing it. That also covers copyright trolls, which Doctorow helped me cope with (when they sent me threatening letters he sent me advice on how to deal with them). That's connected to us covering EPO corruption. At the moment there are only 2 "Responses" to it.

GNU/Linux and started_promoting_it earlier_this_month, having spoken_about_his_beliefs_for_years_already. This tweet had someone say: "It feels like you are the new Richard Stallman." A couple of weeks ago he said, "Apple and Microsoft sit on the lion's share of the market share. But the mind share? They've been losing that fast." As a reminder, he is Danish, and Denmark has been dumping Microsoft lately, making many headlines about it in the process. Android rose_to_record_highs, Apple_and_Microsoft_sank (based on statCounter from Denmark at least), and GNU/ Linux is steadily rising. █ *

⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 15, 2025, updated Jul 15, 2025 Reasons for optimism 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linux_Veteran_Kirill_Shutemov_Departs_Intel_After_14_Years⦈_ Today in IRC there's some discussion about slop. People are generally unwilling to read slop and they don't fancy slop images, either. Once they discover that a site they read has slop images they may also suspect that the text is slop. It often works like that; for instance, Linux Journal experimented with slop images before it turned "full slop", including for text. Now there's no reason to visit that site anymore. The image on the right is a new fake 'article', attributed to an author that probably does not even exist (we've long argued they likely use pseudonyms to make it seem like their slop machine had real people behind it). The image is slop, as usual, and the 'article' is 100%_slop. There may be a grain of truth to it, but it is sloppily done plagiarism. BetaNews experimented with becoming a slopfarm and had regrets. It brought back real writers, except the Serial_Slopper, which it now_bans_as_"spam". I myself lost interest in Web search because very often it leads to fake sites. I showed my wife this past Sunday how when I search for very obvious things (like whether pigeons like rice or it's a myth that it harms their gut) Google will just try to sell me things and direct me to fake sites. This is bad use of time and it exposes people to misinformation. We are guessing that over time more people will stick to trusted sites and not "take the plunge" in a Web increasingly poisoned by spam and slop with fine SEO. Does that mean fewer people will bother with search engines? Hopefully. A lot of the mindless, shallow "media" (parrots) frame it as a balance between chatbots and search, as if nothing exists except those two things. False dichotomy basically. Set aside RSS feeds and social control media, many people read the Web by going to sites they trust and like (at least as starting points). In the 1990s, before search engines "matured", many people browsed the Web that way. As it turns out, analognowhere does some full_comic_strips ("How Hard Could It Be?") too. It does not link to any other site and it can provide hours of entertainment for geeks. Let's hope that the trajectory of the Web won't be leading us to over-reliance on Google, nor will it reward worthless slopfarms. There's a better way to use the Web; one of the worst possible ways is social control media, which is of course neither social nor media. It's_just_a_waste of_time. █ * Over_at_Tux_Machines... * Two_Weeks_Passed_Since_Latest_Large_Wave_of_Microsoft_Layoffs,_More Expected_Next_Month ⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⢿⠿⡿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⣋⢂⡆⣿⡄⣎⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣈⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣟⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢿⠉⡍⡹⢹⠩⣿⡸⣜⠉⡅⡋⢹⣽⠉⣯⢹⡇⡑⡇⢩⣿⢸⣿⡧⢺⢨⠋⠏⡭⡋⠉⡍⡍⠩⢩⢫⣿⠰⣙⠉⠩⢹⠉⣯⡇⡏⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⠿⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⣼⣤⣷⣿⣿⣤⣽⣧⣧⣷⣼⣿⣧⣧⣥⣿⣧⣧⣷⣽⣤⣷⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠂⠀⠀⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⣤⡄⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠑⠢⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⢠⣀⣁⣄⡤⠦⣦⣦⣀⣀⠀⣄⣸⡰⠀⠀⢀⣀⠤⣀⡂⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⡀⣀⣀⠠⠤⠄⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⣀⣀⠉⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣧⣖⣈⣤⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣞⡋⠉⠠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣤⡠⣸⡌⠢⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠻⠿⠇⣃⣁⣀⣀⠀⠂⠈⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣻⢶⣄⡀⠐⠠⢀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠌⣊⣊⣈⡠⠴⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠆⠙⠛⠷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠈⠻⠷⣦⣄⣄⡂⠄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠠⠀⠂⠀⣀⣠⣴⣶⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠿⢿⣿⣆⡤⡑⠢⢀⣀⡀⠤⠐⣀⡡⣆⣦⣴⡶⠟⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠘⠢⠙⠛⠟⠷⣧⣠⣀⣔⣮⣿⣾⢿⠛⠋⠉⡐⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠁⡭⠏⠉⠁⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⠆⠀⠀⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⠿⣿⡿⢿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⢻⡿⢿⣿⠿⡿⡿⡿⣿⡟⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⢿⣿⡿⢿⡿⣿⣻⣿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠉⠉⣭⢩⣉⣉⣩⣉⣍⣩⣉⣍⣉⡉ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1004 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/07/15/Two_Weeks_Passed_Since_Latest_Large_Wave_of_Microsoft_Layoffs_M.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/07/15/Two_Weeks_Passed_Since_Latest_Large_Wave_of_Microsoft_Layoffs_M.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Two Weeks Passed Since Latest Large Wave of Microsoft Layoffs, More Expected Next Month⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 15, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Original_leaker_of_all_three_recent_layoffs._August_is confirmed_for_additional_performance_based_cuts_from_the_recent_connects_along with_additional_organizational_cuts.⦈_ August starts just over 2 weeks from now. After Microsoft laid off about 29,000 workers (by our estimate, a running tally) in 6 months of 2025 it's_expected there's_more_to_come_in_August. Some remaining staff is correct to assume [1,2] it didn't dodge the bullet. There's a lot more on the way.

Blaming the debt on "AI" is just self-serving storytelling. Tell the same lie a million times; maybe it'll stick in people's mind, owing in part to docile media and slopfarms. This week we learned from a young colleague that he was using GNU/Linux (he's not working in tech). It turns out many young people already grow up without Windows at all. Many shops around here run GNU/Linux (e.g. OpenSUSE) at the back end. █ Related/contextual items from the news: 1. ⚓ "A_future_has_been_stolen":_ZeniMax_union_says_"lives_were_upended"_by Xbox_layoffs_and_MMO_cancelation,_but_"we_have_not_yet_been_laid_off"⠀⇛ ZeniMax Online Studios United (ZOSU-CWA), a union formed by members of the Elder Scrolls Online development team and people who had been working on a now-canceled MMO in December, has issued a statement in response to the recent layoffs at Xbox. For the uninitiated, an unannounced Destiny-style MMO codenamed Blackbird, which was in development at Elder Scrolls Online studio ZeniMax Online for seven years, was canceled as part of Microsoft's restructuring, and in the wake of the news longtime studio director Matt Firor resigned. 2. ⚓ „Layoffs_may_be_inevitable”_ZeniMax_Online_Studios_workers_union_shares statement_about_canceled_MMORPG⠀⇛ Today, in a statement shared with IGN, the workers union at ZeniMax Online Studios broke their silence about the recent layoffs at Microsoft which effected over 9,000 individuals, including many at Xbox. The 461 employees at ZeniMax Online Studios voted to form a union in December, which is called ZeniMax Online Studios United, or ZOSU. This organization is also part of the Communication Workers of America. The elected workers are currently negotiating a contract with Microsoft, though an agreement has yet to be reached. According the organization, the studio has yet to be affected by layoffs, but that could change. * There's_Still_Hope_for_the_World_Wide_Web * BillPR_(EpsteinGate-Bribed_NPR)_is_Turning_Into_a_Partial_Slopfarm_that Promotes_Slop ⣿⣿⢻⠟⣿⡿⠿⠿⡿⡿⡏⢿⢿⠿⡿⣿⠿⠿⢿⠿⡿⡿⢿⠿⡿⣿⢿⠿⠿⠿⢿⡿⠿⠿⣿⢿⠿⠿⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣼⣦⣾⣧⣧⣔⡄⣣⣧⣿⣔⣬⣢⣿⣸⣧⣾⣬⣴⣥⣽⣼⣴⣤⣯⣤⣿⣤⣿⣿⣼⣧⣿⣬⣧⡿⡼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣜⣿⣿⣿⠟⠻⠿⡿⡿⠿⣿⢟⠿⢿⣿⢿⡿⠿⠻⢿⢿⣿⢿⠿⠿⡿⡿⠟⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣛⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣴⣷⣶⣦⣷⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣤⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣽⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡶⢤⣿⣿⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠋⠉⠉⠛⠛⠿⠿⣿⣭⣭⣉⣉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡹⢏⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠛⠿⠶⣦⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣉⣙⣛⣻⣿⣶⣦⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣿ ⣿⣿⣶⣶⡶⢶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣲⣶⣶⣶⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡼⢧⣿⣿⣿⡋⠙⠙⡯⡏⠛⠻⠛⣛⢛⡿⠙⠛⢿⢏⠿⠛⠛⠛⢿⠛⣟⣻⢟⠛⢿⠛⡛⢛⢟⡛⡏⠿⠟⢽⠛⠛⢹⣛⡿⠛⣽⡽⠟⠛⢿⣿⠛⠛⠛⢛⠝⢻⠻⡟⣿⠋⣙⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣭⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⣿⣿⣿⠟⠓⢛⢛⠟⡟⡻⠛⠛⠛⡛⣛⣟⢛⢟⢟⠓⣛⡻⣛⡻⡻⣻⡟⠟⢛⣾⡻⡛⢚⣛⠛⠛⠛⣛⡟⢻⡛⠛⠛⣛⣿⣛⡟⢛⠛⢻⣛⣛⡻⢟⠛⠛⡛⠛⢛⡛⢟⠛⢻⣟⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⠿⢾⠿⠿⠶⠿⠿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣜⣣⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣷⣾⣶⣶⣶⣼⣷⣷⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠻⠉⠛⠛⠿⢿⣯⣭⣉⡉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠛⠻⠶⣶⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣈⣉⣛⣛⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣱⣎⣿⣿⣿⡋⠛⠛⡟⠟⢛⠛⠛⢻⠋⠛⢻⠛⠛⠛⡛⢻⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⠛⢛⠛⢛⢻⠛⠛⡛⠛⠙⢻⠛⠛⠛⡏⠛⠛⠛⠟⠛⠛⢹⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣳⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣜⣣⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣽⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣳⣿⣿⣿⣋⣉⣁⣉⣻⣉⣁⣉⣁⣉⣩⣋⣹⣉⣋⣛⣏⣉⣉⣏⣛⣙⣉⢻⣟⣉⣹⣙⣉⣉⣉⣹⣃⣁⣹⣈⣱⣉⣉⣋⣋⣑⡈⣇⣛⣉⣏⣁⡏⢉⣙⣛⣫⣋⣁⣹⣉⣻⣀⣉⣹⣿⣿⣿⢿⣶⣶⢿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⡉⣿⣿⣿⡛⠟⢛⠛⠿⠛⢻⢟⢽⢟⢛⠟⠛⢻⠻⡿⠿⠙⢛⡛⡛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢯⡽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣵⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣵⠶⠶⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣞⣳⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣵⣴⣮⣶⣾⣦⣽⣶⣮⣾⣤⣤⣤⣷⣤⣷⣵⣴⣤⣿⣤⣯⣷⣴⣾⣿⣮⣤⣴⣧⣵⣧⣦⣤⣶⣤⣭⣦⣼⣵⣶⣷⣴⣦⣼⣶⣵⣬⣾⣤⣥⣵⣴⣴⣧⣶⣶⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⡻⠶⠶⢿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣂⣿⣿⣿⣍⣉⡙⣯⣩⣫⢭⣏⣉⣩⣋⣏⣩⣏⣉⣉⣏⣹⠩⣫⣉⢉⣉⣝⣉⣉⣻⣉⣭⣝⣝⣽⣉⣉⣉⣭⣋⣏⣉⢩⣉⡉⣭⣩⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢯⡽⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣴⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⢿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠶⠶⣾⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣥⣬⣼⣤⣤⣤⣤⣧⣤⣤⣽⣤⣤⣼⣤⣥⣬⣤⣼⣤⣼⣤⣤⣦⣤⣼⣤⣼⣬⣼⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣧⣤⣧⣤⣀⣯⣔⣦⣤⣤⣧⣤⣤⣤⣼⣤⣤⣤⣾⣧⣤⣼⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣀⣿⣿⣿⣉⣈⣉⣉⣟⣍⣉⣉⣘⣹⣟⣫⣉⣈⣙⣍⣉⣙⣉⣋⣉⣍⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢳⡞⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⣴⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⡿⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣚⣛⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢫⡝⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⠛⠿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠽⣿⣿⣿⣮⣦⣥⣨⣤⣤⣽⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣵⣽⣤⣼⣤⣤⣧⣦⣧⣦⣴⣤⣥⣽⣤⣲⣵⣭⣬⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣮⣥⣼⣵⣭⣯⣯⣯⣥⣴⣽⣵⣥⣿⣴⣥⣤⣬⣮⣬⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣿⣿⣿⣶⣵⣴⣶⣴⣤⣤⣶⣵⣵⣧⣤⣥⣴⣾⣷⣶⣴⣼⣤⣴⣴⣾⣤⣮⣾⣤⣦⣶⣷⣴⣷⣵⣶⣤⣴⣴⣦⣯⣤⣮⣾⣐⣦⣤⣤⣾⣤⣾⣶⣶⣴⣵⣥⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠿⠿⠿⠿⠳⠞⠿⠿⠿⠫⠩⠉⠩⠍⠉⠉⠙⠭⠍⠉⠏⠉⠍⠙⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1143 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Gemini Links 15/07/2025: Gemini "Style Sheets" and Switching From Microsoft GitHub to Codeberg⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 15, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇and_the_fish_is_you_and_the_fish_is_me⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Travel/Photos o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini # Programming * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Travel/Photos⠀➾ # ⚓ Urwaldweg_Bödmeren⠀⇛ It’s times like these when I have my doubts. If I take the train at 10:00 I should arrive at 12:11. There should be a restaurant at the stop where I get off so if it rains a bit longer, that should be no problem. The hike is 3h 30min so there is a tiny chance for a little rain later but that should be OK. One of the days I am happy Switzerland pays for expensive weather modeling. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Moving_to_NixOS⠀⇛ I recently migrated my (main and only) system from Alpine Linux to NixOS. In this post I will explain why I made the switch and why I consider Nix to be -- currently -- the best Linux distribution available. Nix is a project that has been on my radar of quite some time now. It is a system designed around the principles of reproducibility, build-isolation, and declarative design, while also boasting one of the largest and most up-to-date software repositories in the Linux world. # ⚓ Insights_in_living_without_a_smartphone⠀⇛ I have not used a smartphone for about 5 years on- and-off (discounting of course the years as a child where I didn't need to worry about silly things like this). It started in the summer of 2019 when by best friend gifted me his old Nokia 8110 4G (more on this later). Since then, I only had a smartphone for about a year. This device burnt through its charging circuitry a month or-so ago, so I am back to the dumb-life, though now with more insight into how to do things. In this post, I will be sharing the insights I have accumulated over the years. Just as a warning, the advice provided in this post might come across as ultimately unsatisfying. While it is definitely possible to live off of the information-grid, that is not the type of life I can live currently. Therefore, a lot of my insights revolve around using alternative but highly similar solutions to having a smartphone. The main difference being that you don't or can't bring these devices around in your pocket. # ⚓ Keyboardio_Preonic⠀⇛ This keyboard arrived a couple weeks ago. Still loving those box white switches! The key caps feel a little flimsy though, after using my much cheaper th40 for a while. I’ll have to see how things go. It has a knob in the upper right corner next to the any key and the fun key. The knob was not mapped to anything, despite the documentation claiming it would be volume up/down. I’ve only added console font size increase and decrease to the knob so far. It pleases me greatly. The any key rather hilariously inserts a random key when pressed. So far I’ve remapped some of the same bindings I use on the th40 on my Preonic, despite that it has dedicated keys for some things (like hyphen.) I just don’t like to make my fingers travel as far to reach things. Though on the topic of remapping, embarrassingly, I have no keymap backups from anything, it would seem. And aside from the obvious ones, I can’t consciously recall what keys should be where. Instead I go to smack a key I expect to be in a place to do a thing and it doesn’t happen. Then I have to sit and think about what I’ve done and what I meant to have happen and locate the help docs for vim to find out what key would have done the thing I was trying to do. Then I launch Chrysalis and remap a few more keys. # ⚓ Differential_Equations,_Analog_Computing,_and_Emacs Updates⠀⇛ My apologies for the long delay since my last post: as far as outdoor activities, there was a combination of personal and work distractions, along with weather issues — such as forest fire smoke — that made it difficult for several weeks to get out for my usually summer lunchbreak walks. I spend some of those lunchbreaks hacking Emacs Calc, trying to implement a feature that I requested as a wishlist item. I haven't made much concrete progress on that, however, so I won't discuss it further at the present time. Last week I was distracted by an arduous ordeal involving muscle spasm, brought on by an accidental blunt force impact to my back. It was a less than pleasant experience overall. But I was glad that, during the experience, I was able to continue trusting the LORD and not get angry, bitter, or despondent, despite several days of intense pain. Faith is the victory, as the old hymn says! # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Gemini_Style_Sheets⠀⇛ As a preface, I currently use Lagrange as my gemini client. Lagrange auto colors gemsites with a random color pallet by default. This got me thinking, what if the capsule author could control that to an extent. This lead me to the thought process of gemini style sheets (gss). Inspired by css[1], gss would be a simple way to control the color of your gemsite on graphical gemini browsers. In the style of the smolnet it should be simplistic. Nothing too complex. Maybe just a way to set the color for the background, headers (separately), body text, preformatted blocks, and links. Inspired in part by the emoji favicons[2], the gss file would only be at the root and named something like gss.text or something to that effect. I’m not a specifics person so I doubt I would be able to write up the exact specifications but I am suggesting the idea to see if the gemini community is interested in anything of the sort. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Switching_to_Codeberg⠀⇛ I have recently switched away from GitHub as my codeforge to Codeberg which includes the hosting of this blog. In this brief post, I will cover my reasons for switching and briefly describe the process. I have been using GitHub at least since 2016 (possibly earlier, I was using a different account at the time, so and cannot see exactly when I joined). Back then, I wanted to host some code I was working on, and GitHub was (and still is) the most popular choice for doing so. Since then however, many things have changed, notably the acquisition by Microsoft, the increasing social-media- lisation, and now: The AI [1]. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

My classmates of course did the same, and afterwards, when school started back up again, we would share stories. One concept which often came up in these stories was homesickness. As a child, I didn't understand homesickness. After all, what is so great about being home? And why would you miss it when there is so much to see. Later in life, we would go on class trips over weekends. There would always be kids who missed home (particularly their parents) so much that they cried for hours. Once, again, I didn't really understand their sadness. I got along fine with my parents, but the trip was fun and -- all things considered -- rather short. o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ A_Neoplatonist_interpretation_of_post-christian_vitalism⠀⇛ A phenomenon I have seen going around the internet is so-called post-Christian vitalism [1]. PCR is based on Nietzschian moral philosophy, specifically the `master-mentality' towards ethics. I believe this view is incredibly misguided, and will argue so from a Neoplatonist [2] perspective. Let us begin by exploring Nietzsche's master- morality and the specific interpretations of the post-christian vitalists. Nietzsche distinguishes between two types of morality, master-morality and slave-morality. Master morality -- he asserts -- is the classical form of morality, where virtuous and noble were interchangeable terms. Masters are courageous and follow their own agenda, like Odysseus. Slave-morality instead celebrates weakness by promoting `virtues' such as humility and charity. Slave morality originated from... well slaves, and non-nobles generally to give themselves some access to the morality which the nobility had. Indeed, slave-moralists assert that their form of morality is the only one, and that the masters such as Odysseus are not virtuous at all. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ More_Smolweb:_Nightfall_Express⠀⇛ Lots of space related names, lots of partial specs and even more overlap. Oddly enough the most simple protocol listed actually caught my eye as it fills the one feature missing in: large file transfer with a single request. While there are things like anonymous ftp, a protocol like nex is nice because the server can be created in a few lines of shell code and `socat`, and the client is `telnet` or `nc` which every system has. On my lunch break I implemented a server. # ⚓ Alhena_5.1.7_and_Zoe_in_Scriptonite⠀⇛ I released a new version of the Alhena gemini client. This one has a lot of changes to the built-in html to gemtext converter including table support and HTTP redirects. There are a few other useful enhancements to the bookmarking system. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

I use it because I don't always remember specific extended key bindings (ones that start with a prefix) that are available to me, especially in MH-E, which effectively has its own set of key bindings for a large collection of commands. Which-key gives me a useful but minimal popup prompt about what's available and I can usually use that to navigate to what I want. Recently I read Omar Antolín's The case against which-key: a polemic, which didn't convince me but did teach me two useful tricks in one. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Scientists_Detect_Sign_of_Something_Impossible Out_in_Deep_Space⠀⇛ Black holes can produce huge, propagating ripples in spacetime called gravitational waves, which were predicted by Einstein back in 1916. Nearly 100 years later, LIGO — which consists of two observatories on opposite corners of the US — made history by making the first ever detection of these cosmic shudders. # ⚓ Society for Scholarly Publishing ☛ Preprints_and_Journals: A_Model_Publishing_Ecosystem_-_The_Scholarly_Kitchen⠀⇛ It seems each camp is in deep and engaged discussion of their future, but failing to pause and consider a more holistic view of what a publishing ecosystem may look like. And yet the need to focus on a culture of research integrity is something all, at least in principle, can agree on, so why the discord? In essence it boils down to a deep distrust of the for-profit motive, pitted against the ideals of science. While it is certainly true that a for-profit view of science is only one perspective, it is also true that without that, scientific research and the publication of research would not be a successful endeavor. And then again, science should be open and collaborative without the need to consider projected financial gain. # ⚓ One Happy Fellow ☛ Programming_Language_Theory_has_a_public relations_problem⠀⇛ Programming Language Theory (PLT) is one of my favourite areas of computer science yet I feel it's one of the most misunderstood by outsiders. It's full of beautiful constructions and great ideas at the intersection of pure theory and practical applications. And yet outside of the PLT community, it's considered cryptic, hard, useless, not practical. The problems are similar to the public perception of pure maths ("why would I learn it?", "does it have any practical applications?") but somehow even worse.

Public schools must remain secular and welcome all students, regardless of faith.” # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ Trump_Sued_by_US_States_Over Withholding_$6.8_Billion_for_Schools⠀⇛ Attorneys general or governors from 24 states and the District of Columbia sued in federal court in Providence, Rhode Island, arguing that the U.S. Department of Education and the Office of Management and Budget threw schools nationwide into chaos by unconstitutionally freezing funding for six programs approved by Congress. # ⚓ Vox ☛ The_Supreme_Court_just_handed_Trump_the_biggest victory_of_his_second_term,_in_McMahon_v._New_York⠀⇛ The Court’s decision in McMahon v. New York, was handed down on the Court’s “shadow docket,” a mix of emergency motions and other expedited matters that the justices often decide without full briefing or oral argument. As is often the case in shadow docket decisions, none of the Republican justices explained their decision. Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a dissent, which was joined by both of her fellow Democratic justices. # ⚓ France24 ☛ US_Supreme_Court_clears_way_for_Trump_to dismantle_Department_of_Education⠀⇛ The US Supreme Court on Monday allowed the Trump administration to move forward with its controversial plan to gut the Department of Education, delivering a major victory to its effort to shrink the federal government's role in public schooling. The Court lifted a lower court's block on mass layoffs and the transfer of key department functions – a move critics say could gut protections for students and disrupt critical funding streams for schools across the country. # ⚓ Bridge Michigan ☛ As_Michigan_scrambles_to_improve literacy,_school_librarians_are_losing_their_jobs⠀⇛ “I saw firsthand the impact that having a certified school librarian in the school with an active school library had for students,” Koleszar said. “It helps literacy.

Truth be told, I’ve missed commenting on areas that I normally like to apply Insolence to, be it Respectful or Not-So-Respectful. More importantly, since Donald Trump was elected President again last November and longtime antivax activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. became Secretary of Health and Human Services and his sycophants, toadies, and lackeys were installed to run the Food and Drug Administration (Dr. Marty Makary), the National Institutes of Health (Dr. Jay Bhattacharya), and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid services (America’s Quack Dr. Mehmet Oz), there’s just so much to comment on where I think I can make a tiny difference that it’s been frustrating these last few months to be limited to once a week over at my not-so-super-secret other blog. (Or maybe I have way too inflated an opinion of myself and my own importance, conflating my need to blog with your need to read my blogs. I don’t know.) But where to start? # ⚓ Shameless_self-promotion_better_late_than_never:_Anti-Vax America⠀⇛ I can’t believe that it’s been a month since I last posted here. Realizing that led me to decided I need to get off my posterior and resurrect this blog. I also can’t believe that it’s been nearly a month since a podcast for which I was interviewed went live. I figured that a good way to try to get things rolling would be by promoting my appearance last month on the podcast It Could Happen Here, which last week ran a five part series, Anti-Vax America. It Could Happen Here is a really good podcast, one that I listen to on a regular basis, if not catching every episode. (But, then, I don’t catch every episode of any podcast that I follow.) # ⚓ Task And Purpose ☛ Air_Force_rolls_out_gender-neutral fitness_test_for_EOD_technicians⠀⇛ Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal, or EOD, technicians will take a new gender- and age-neutral fitness test starting next month, the service has announced, with a medicine ball toss, a powerlift and a dynamic drill with 80-lbs of weight known as the Gruseter. # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ Regrowing_hearing_cells:_New_gene functions_discovered_in_zebrafish_offer_clues_for_future hearing_loss_treatments⠀⇛ David Raible, Ph.D., a professor at the University of Washington who studies the zebrafish lateral line sensory system, commented on the significance of the new study.

Shadowserver said it has seen exploitation attempts since the start of July. # ⚓ Macworld ☛ These_fully_working_Mac_emulators_will_waste hours_of_your_day⠀⇛ The emulators have been around for a few years at Infinite Mac, but on Frame of preference, they are presented in a fun, new way with the original Macintosh designs. While you’re playing around with the emulators, be sure to read Wichary’s commentary, as there are loads of interesting insights into software design and aesthetics. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Google_tangled_up_in_$600m_Chromebook corruption_probe⠀⇛ Earlier this year, Indonesia’s Attorney General announced an investigation into why authorities chose Chromebooks as client devices when a pilot of the machines pointed out they’re not useful without reliable [Internet] connections – a situation that’s common across Indonesia. # ⚓ Android Police ☛ Google_says_ChromeOS_will_merge_into Android⠀⇛ Rumors in late 2024 claimed Google was planning to merge ChromeOS with Android. At the time, a report suggested the company would undertake a "multi-year project to fully transition ChromeOS into Android," though it never officially announced this. That's changing now, with a high-level Google executive confirming the move. # ⚓ PC World ☛ How_I_convinced_a_Windows_fan_to_buy_a Chromebook⠀⇛ Long story short: it worked! I got through to him. He raised some good points, mind you, but a lot of them were misconceptions rooted in outdated Chromebook myths. Here’s how our conversation went and what I said to him to change his mind. # ⚓ The Gamer ☛ Perfect_Dark_Might_Be_Cancelled,_But_Arkane's Blade_Could_Still_Save_Xbox⠀⇛ Arkane’s already been hit by Microsoft layoffs once before, when Arkane Austin was closed after the dismal performance of Redfall, another vampire Arkane game. Understandably, considering the studio’s long silence since announcing Blade, it’s hard not to feel a little antsy. # ⚓ Patch ☛ 🌱_Patch_AM:_Microsoft_layoffs_hit_Bellevue workforce⠀⇛ # § Artificial Intelligence (AI) / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ Swedish_Prime_Minister_Pulls_AI_Campaign Tool_After_It_Was_Used_to_Ask_Hitler_for_Support⠀⇛ Sweden's Moderate party allowed users to make the PM hold a sign bearing any name they wanted. You know what happened next. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Elon_Musk’s_AI_bot_adds_a_ridiculous anime_companion_with_‘NSFW’_mode⠀⇛ Ani also has what TestingCatalog describes as an “NSFW” mode where the character wears lingerie. (And just a warning: if you search for posts about the characters on X, you’ll probably come across NSFW videos.) # ⚓ Drew Breunig ☛ Delegation_is_the_AI_Metric_that Matters⠀⇛ Delegations signal improvements in models, better applications, or increased user trust (or, occasionally, user laziness). User delegation is not just a valuable key metric for product owners. It’s also central to the societal question about which decisions we’re comfortable delegating to AI. # ⚓ The Revelator ☛ How_to_Get_AI_Out_of_Your_Google Search_Results⠀⇛ A few weeks ago, I wrote an editorial discouraging environmentalists from using generative AI programs like ChatGPT due to their extraordinary energy and water consumption. If you care about the planet, I argued, you shouldn’t use such climate- damaging systems. # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ Grok_Adds_Pornographic_Anime Girlfriend,_Lands_$200M_Defense_Contract⠀⇛ There’s never a dull moment with Grok, the chatbot from Elon Musk‘s xAI, which he has consistently called the “smartest” AI in existence despite its forays into racial conspiracy theories, tendency to speak in the first person as Musk himself, and recent output of what it termed “Hitler fanfic.” # ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ Death_by_a_thousand_slops⠀⇛ On HackerOne the users get their reputation lowered when we close reports as not applicable. That is only really a mild “threat” to experienced HackerOne participants. For new users on the platform that is mostly a pointless exercise as they can just create a new account next week. Banning those users is similarly a rather toothless threat. Besides, there seem to be so many so even if one goes away, there are a thousand more. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Grok-4_Falls_to_a_Jailbreak_Two_Days After_Its_Release⠀⇛ The Echo Chamber jailbreak attack was described on June 23, 2025. xAI’a latest Grok-4 was released on July 9, 2025. Two days later it fell to a combined Echo Chamber and Crescendo jailbreak attack. # ⚓ Wired ☛ AI_'Nudify'_Websites_Are_Raking_in_Millions of_Dollars⠀⇛ An analysis of 85 nudify and “undress” websites—which allow people to upload photos and use AI to generate “nude” pictures of the subjects with just a few clicks—has found that most of the sites rely on tech services from Google, Amazon, and Cloudflare to operate and stay online. The findings, revealed by Indicator, a publication investigating digital deception, say that the websites had a combined average of 18.5 million visitors for each of the past six months and collectively may be making up to $36 million per year. # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Ask_Ruben:_do_you_use_LLMs_to_write posts?⠀⇛ Regarding LLMs, it’s a matter of taste. Also for ethical, moral, legal, environmental, and financial reasons, but you and I likely don’t see eye to eye if you’re asking. # ⚓ Alisa Sireneva ☛ "AI_discourse"_is_a_joke⠀⇛ The question is not whether AI can generate garbage, but whether we consider this low quality acceptable. If you follow the “fuck it, we ball” attitude, then you’ll found a startup, hire juniors, and use LLMs. If you’re not a technocrat, you won’t be the first to market, but you’ll build a product that actually works, and you’ll do that by hiring experienced devs and avoiding vibecoding. This topic is fundamentally philosophical (will you focus on the far future or only the present?), ethical (will you do the right thing if you’re punished for it?), economical (how much are you willing to decrease quality to increase profits?), and political (should we correct for these externalities?). It’s absolutely not a coincidence that those pushing LLMs are typically centrist or right, and leftists tend to avoid them. The war on AI is all but a proxy war for moral compasses. # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Someone_hijacked_Elmo's_X_account to_post_antisemitic_rants⠀⇛ They also referred to Trump as a "child f*cker," and demanded the president "release the files," referring to the Jeffrey Epstein criminal investigation. Those posts have since been removed. o § Pseudo-Open Source⠀➾ # § Openwashing⠀➾ # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ Zuckerberg_used_open source_to_scale_AI_-_now_the_lock-in_begins⠀⇛ Critics who’ve accused Meta of “open-source washing” were right to believe this wasn’t going to last. Zuckerberg softened his stance on the issue already last year, telling the Dwarkesh Patel podcast that it was wrong to be “dogmatic” about open-source software and that if it became irresponsible to give his AI away in the future, “then we won’t”. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ India Times ☛ Meta_investors,_Zuckerberg_to_square off_at_$8_billion_trial_over_alleged_privacy violations⠀⇛ The case dates back to 2018, after it emerged that data from millions of Facebook users was accessed by Cambridge Analytica, a now- defunct political consulting firm that worked for Donald Trump's successful campaign for US president in 2016. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_Epstein_Fracture:_How_Narrative_Collapse Reveals_the_Path_to_Democratic_Resistance⠀⇛ But the fracture this created within Trump’s coalition reveals something far more devastating than broken promises—it suggests Trump himself may be desperately trying to cover up the very corruption he promised to expose. What we’re witnessing isn’t just political disagreement—it’s the inevitable collapse of a fascist coalition built on shared lies rather than shared principles, combined with the dawning realization among Trump’s supporters that they may have been manipulated by someone protecting the network they thought he was fighting. # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ Greece_Is_Shutting_the_Door_to Refugees⠀⇛ The suspended examination of asylum applications concerns all arrivals departing from Northern Africa via a route increasingly used by people trying to reach Europe. The Greek government reported that over 7,000 people arrived via this route in just ten days — and termed this a “state of emergency.” # ⚓ Marcy Wheeler ☛ The_Allies_Of_the_Billionaires⠀⇛ In this post I offered a brief history of the efforts by the filthy rich to destroy the New Deal. Under Trump those attacks are now aimed at democracy. This post lays out the field of conflict between the filthy rich and normal people. Who are the allies of the filthy rich, and what can we do with that information? # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Iran_seeks_three_cloud_providers_to_power its_government⠀⇛ The org recently posted a notification of its desire to evaluate, grade, and rank cloud players to assess their suitability to host government services. # ⚓ Hiiraan Online ☛ Clan_militia_urged_to_regroup_after_Al- Shabaab_captures_key_Hiiraan_town⠀⇛ Al-Shabab fighters seized the strategic crossroads town of Moqokori in central Hiiraan this week, a loss a former Somali National Army commander called both a tactical setback and a psychological blow to the Hawadle clan militia that has led community resistance. # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ The_role_of_Mosque_planning_rows_in Britain’s_Islam_debate⠀⇛ There’s a long tradition of remodelling disused churches and other buildings. As the number of Muslims increases it seems likely there will be greater demand for additional, dedicated places of worship. According to the 2021 census, there were 3.8 million Muslims living in England, or 6.7 per cent of the population, up from 4.9 per cent in 2011. # ⚓ NPR ☛ Despite_ongoing_Taliban_threats,_the_U.S._is_ending some_protections_for_Afghans⠀⇛ A 2024 United Nations report found that 23.7 million people — over half of the population — required humanitarian assistance last year. In addition, Secretary Marco Rubio terminated all but two State Department and USAID programs in Afghanistan, one of which expires at the end of June. In total, 22 programs worth nearly $1.03 billion were shuttered, according to the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction. Responding to the DHS claim that Afghanistan has had an "improved security situation" Feraji says over a dozen terrorist organizations — including Al Qaeda and ISIS — now operate freely within Afghanistan. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Musk_Questions_Why_Trump_Won't_Release_Epstein Files⠀⇛ The ludicrous attempt to dismiss the extremely hot- button topic — a textbook case of the Streisand effect — didn't sit well with his supporters, causing him to get "ratioed" on his own social media platform, racking up so many more comments than likes that it set an all-time record. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Metadata_From_the_"Raw"_Epstein_Video_Shows Something_Extremely_Sketchy⠀⇛ After Wired reporters and independent experts reviewed its metadata, however, a more complicated story emerged: that the video appears to have been modified from its initial form, likely using Adobe's Premiere Pro video editing software. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Semafor Inc ☛ Investors_bet_on_Zambian_copper_despite_US tariffs⠀⇛ Canadian mining company Barrick is pushing ahead with a $2 billion expansion of its copper operations in Zambia, its CEO said, stressing his bullish stance on the metal’s prospects despite looming US tariffs. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Meta_Built_a_Data_Center_Next_Door._The Neighbors’_Water_Taps_Went_Dry.⠀⇛ The Morrises’ experience is one of a growing number of water-related issues around Newton County, which is a one-and-a-half-hour drive east of Atlanta and has a population of about 120,000 people. As tech giants like Meta build data centers in the area, local wells have been damaged, the cost of municipal water has soared and the county’s water commission may face a shortage of the vital resource. # ⚓ CBC ☛ Wildfire_smoke_puts_Toronto_among_worst_in_the_world for_air_quality;_weather_alerts_in_place⠀⇛ Smoke from forest fires over northern Ontario and the Prairies is expected to cause or is causing poor air quality and reduced visibility, Environment Canada says. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ What_Will_It_Take_To_Restore_A_Serious Flight_Simulator?⠀⇛ [Jared] managed to find a professional FAA- certified flight simulator at an auction (a disassembled, partial one anyway) and wondered, what would it take to rebuild it into the coolest flight sim rig ever? # ⚓ Wired ☛ GM’s_Final_EV_Battery_Strategy_Copies_China’s Playbook:_Super_Cheap_Cells⠀⇛ GM has stated today it will build low-cost lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells in Spring Hill, Tennessee, starting in late 2027. Conversion of cell lines to produce that chemistry will begin later this year. The cell plant at the Spring Hill complex is owned and operated by Ultium Cells, GM’s joint-venture battery company with LG Energy Solution. A GM assembly plant in the same complex builds the Cadillac Lyriq and Acura ZDX electric SUVs. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ US_railroad_industry's_outdate radio_protocol_is_vulnerable⠀⇛ Commonly referred to as FRED, for the post- caboose Flashing Rear-End Device that now sits at the back of freight trains and transmits data to the locomotive using the protocol, the system uses an old BCH checksum to create packets that, since the age of software-defined radios, can be easily spoofed. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Meta_to_invest_‘hundreds_of_billions’ in_new_multi-gigawatt_AI_data_centers⠀⇛ The first data center cluster that the company is building as part of the project is called Prometheus. According to Zuckerberg, it’s set to launch next year and will consume multiple gigawatts of power. One gigawatt corresponds to the electricity use of about one million households. # ⚓ The Local SE ☛ Switzerland's_SBB_plans_new_night train_to_Copenhagen_and_Malmö⠀⇛ The Swiss government has outlined plans to provide 1.2 million francs in subsidies this year, increasing this to 8.9 million francs in 2026 when the service starts running, with a similar amount then earmarked each year between 2027-2030 # ⚓ India Times ☛ Meta's_Zuckerberg_pledges_hundreds_of billions_for_AI_data_centers_in_superintelligence push⠀⇛ Its first multi-gigawatt data center, dubbed Prometheus, is expected to come online in 2026, while another, called Hyperion, will be able to scale up to 5 gigawatts over the coming years, Zuckerberg said in a post on his Threads social media platform. # ⚓ MIT Technology Review ☛ California_is_set_to_become the_first_US_state_to_manage_power_outages_with_AI⠀⇛ At the DTECH Midwest utility industry summit in Minneapolis on July 15, CAISO is set to announce a deal to run a pilot program using new AI software called Genie, from the energy-services giant OATI. The software uses generative AI to analyze and carry out real- time analyses for grid operators and comes with the potential to autonomously make decisions about key functions on the grid, a switch that might resemble going from uniformed traffic officers to sensor-equipped stoplights. But while CAISO may deliver electrons to cutting-edge Silicon Valley companies and laboratories, the actual task of managing the state’s electrical system is surprisingly analog. # § Overpopulation⠀➾ # ⚓ Hindustan Times ☛ Delhi_water_supply_to_be streamlined_zone-wise,_says_govt⠀⇛ The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) is working on a policy to deploy private operators to manage water and sewage services by carving the Capital into eight zones—on the lines of reforms by power distribution companies—with a sharp focus on curbing 50-52% water supply loss, senior government functionaries said on Monday. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ HT Digital Streams Ltd ☛ Layoff_riddle:_Why_are_companies getting_worse_at_letting_employees_go?⠀⇛ Last week’s jobs numbers in the US may have shown a drop in the number of pink slips hitting workers’ desks in May, but don’t be fooled: Layoffs are alive and well in 2025. In the first half of the year, employers in America let go of nearly 745,000 people, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. That’s the second-highest number for the period since 2009—surpassed only by the first six months of 2020, when covid essentially shut down the global economy. # ⚓ The Olympian ☛ Microsoft_announced_9,000_layoffs._What_does that_mean_for_WA_state?⠀⇛ The software company contends it’s boosting its agility by trimming down layers with fewer managers, cuts that coincide with recent investments in AI. The most recent round of layoffs amount to less than 4% of Microsoft’s global workforce. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ iTWire_-_Airtel_chooses_Ericsson_core_for_Fixed Wireless_Access_in_India⠀⇛ Indian telecoms multinational Bharti Airtel has chosen Ericsson provide the core network for the telco’s rollout of Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) services in India. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ US_government_announces_$200_million_Grok contract_a_week_after_‘MechaHitler’_incident⠀⇛ xAI is one of several leading AI companies to receive the award, alongside Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI. But the timing of the announcement is striking given Grok’s recent high-profile spiral, which drew congressional ire and public pushback. The use of technology, and especially AI, in the defense space has long been a controversial topic even within the tech industry, and Musk’s prior involvement in slashing federal government contracts through his work at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) still raises questions about potential conflicts — though his relationship with President Donald Trump has more recently soured, and Trump’s administration has claimed Musk would step back from any potential conflicts while at DOGE. # ⚓ The Local SE ☛ 'Awesome_people_get_pushed_away':_What's happening_in_the_Swedish_gaming_industry?⠀⇛ For years, gaming has been one of Sweden's largest exports, with the gaming industry employing thousands in recent years. Many of those are international workers on work permits. We spoke to some of them to get an insider's perspective on what's happening in the industry. # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ Microsoft_South_Africa_to_get new_MD_as_Lillian_Barnard_moves_to_regional_role⠀⇛ Lillian Barnard, president of Microsoft Africa and acting MD of Microsoft South Africa, is relinquishing both roles after being named as the new head of the software giant’s enterprise partner solutions business in the Middle East and Africa. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ The Record ☛ Russia-linked_group_spoofing_European journalists_to_spread_disinformation⠀⇛ A Kremlin-linked disinformation group has been impersonating real journalists and publishing fake articles on spoofed news websites to spread false narratives in France, Armenia, Germany, Moldova and Norway, researchers have found. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ JURIST ☛ Pakistan_dispatch:_Islamabad_court_targets Pakistan’s_last_social_control_media_outlet_for_dissent_with YouTube_censorship_order⠀⇛ Abu Bakar Khan is a JURIST staff correspondent and lawyer based in Pakistan.   Pakistan’s information and freedom of speech landscape has steadily narrowed over the past several years as the state began systematically removing independent voices from television channels and newspaper columns. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ Censorship_for_Citizenship⠀⇛ If anyone believed him at the time, they should be disabused by now. One of his most brazen attacks on freedom of speech thus far came this past weekend, when the president said that he was thinking about stripping a comedian of her citizenship—for no apparent reason other than that she regularly criticizes him. # ⚓ CPJ ☛ Senegalese_commentator_arrested,_prime_minister_calls for_media_boycott⠀⇛ “These charges represent an escalation in the government’s punitive attitude toward the media and promote a dangerous conflation between the press and the political opposition,” said Moussa Ngom, CPJ’s Francophone Africa representative. “Senegalese authorities must release news commentators Badara Gadiaga, Abdou Nguer, and Bachir Fofana, and refrain from reprisals against the media for their criticism. Alleged press offenses should not be criminalized.” # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ 14_independent_publishers_to_join alternative_book_festival⠀⇛ A total of 14 independent publishers will take part in an alternative book festival this week after some of them were barred from participating in Hong Kong’s official book fair, which opens on Wednesday. # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ Islamophobia_codes_would_bring_back blasphemy_laws⠀⇛ Similarly, it may be that some people angry about the “grooming gangs” hate Muslims; but it is also the case that fear of being called Islamophobic prevented proper investigation of the gangs for many years. Does Mr Grieve really want to help cover-up? Let me make a proposition: too many Muslim leaders in this country are over-sensitive to criticism of their faith and of them. Does that make me Islamophobic? # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ South_Africa_begins_complex job_of_overhauling_media_laws⠀⇛ This is the third version of the document (read it here), with the first and second editions published in 2020 and 2023, respectively, and brings much needed momentum to updating the policy landscape of South Africa’s broadcasting sector. # ⚓ The Hindu ☛ Anti-sacrilege_bill_likely_to_tabled_in_Punjab Assembly⠀⇛ The draft bill may propose life imprisonment for sacrilege acts against religious scriptures, sources said. There may also be a provision for setting up special courts to deal with cases pertaining to desecration of scriptures. There will be no parole for those guilty of sacrilege acts, they further said.7 o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ CPJ ☛ Press_freedom_groups_condemn_hearing,_demand_release of_Georgian_journalist_Mzia_Amaglobeli ⠀⇛ Monday’s court hearing in the case of Georgian journalist Mzia Amaglobeli shows the disproportionate and politicized nature of the charges against her and she must be released immediately, said three international press freedom organizations whose representatives monitored the proceedings. # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ The_Media's_Pivot_to_AI_Is_Not_Real_and_Not Going_to_Work⠀⇛ But pivoting to AI is not a business strategy. Telling journalists they must use AI is not a business strategy. Partnering with AI companies is a business move, but becoming reliant on revenue from tech giants who are creating a machine that duplicates the work you’ve already created is not a smart or sustainable business move, and therefore it is not a smart business strategy. It is true that AI is changing the internet and is threatening journalists and media outlets. But the only AI- related business strategy that makes any sense whatsoever is one where media companies and journalists go to great pains to show their audiences that they are human beings, and that the work they are doing is worth supporting because it is human work that is vital to their audiences. This is something GQ’s editorial director Will Welch recently told New York magazine: “The good news for any digital publisher is that the new game we all have to play is also a sustainable one: You have to build a direct relationship with your core readers,” he said. # ⚓ The Hindu ☛ The_Hindu_journalist_receives_ITFoK_media_award for_best_reporting ⠀⇛ o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Site36 ☛ Maja_T._stops_hunger_strike:_Following_40_days, their_state_of_health_was_life-threatening⠀⇛ Even a cardiac arrest could no longer be ruled out: Maja T. ended their refusal to eat in a Hungarian prison hospital. The German Foreign Minister announced a new initiative to speak with Hungary. After 40 days without solid food, the German citizen Maja T. has ended their hunger strike in Hungarian custody. # ⚓ Cherokee Phoenix ☛ ‘We_didn’t_kill_enough_Indians’:_Ann Coulter_comments_nothing_new⠀⇛ “Coulter’s statement, on its face, is a despicable rhetorical shot trained on the First Peoples of this continent, designed to dehumanize and diminish us and our ancestors and puts us at risk of further injury,” Hoskin posted on Facebook. “We have faced enough of that since this country’s founding. Such rhetoric has aided and abetted the destruction of tribes, their life ways, languages and cultures, the violation of treaty rights, violence, oppression, suppression and dispossession.” Political leaders calling for genocide of Native people and decrying their complete eradication is nothing new to Indigenous people. Hoskin referenced President Andrew Jackson as a former leader who might have agreed with Coulter if he were alive today. Jackson has long been considered to have demonstrated hostility to tribes having championed the Indian Removal Act of 1820, which led to the forced removal of eastern tribes from their homelands to Indian Territory (today Oklahoma). # ⚓ Law Society Gazette ☛ Solicitor_held_in_contempt_to_face SDT_hearing⠀⇛ McKeeve, who is no longer with Jones Day, was fined £25,000 for contempt following a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice. Passing judgment, Mr Justice Adam Johnson described his actions as a ‘spontaneous act of colossal stupidity’ but said they did not warrant a custodial sentence. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ APNIC ☛ Help_shape_Internet_number_resource_policy_at_APNIC 60_in_Da_Nang!⠀⇛ The Asia Pacific Internet community is getting ready for APNIC 60, taking place from 4 to 11 September 2025 at the Furama Resort in Da Nang, Viet Nam. This major event is your chance to help shape the policies that govern how Internet number resources — IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) — are managed across our region. # ⚓ RIPE ☛ RIPE_NCC_Days_Chișinău⠀⇛ Our latest RIPE NCC Days event took place in Chișinău, Moldova from 18-19 June 2025. At the meeting, we heard from local community leaders and examined the landscape of the Internet in Moldova and its neighbours. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Rodrigo Ghedin ☛ Don’t_publish_your_podcast_only_on_Spotify ⁄_Manual_do_Usuário⠀⇛ After publishing the first episode, Spotify displays a message about the RSS feed and the show’s unavailability on other apps. They could do better, highlighting the Enable RSS button instead of Done and using a more understandable label. (How many people know what “RSS” is?) § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o ⚓ India Times ☛ LinkedIn_settles_antitrust_lawsuit,_agrees_to contracting_changes⠀⇛ LinkedIn was accused in the 2022 lawsuit of illegally fashioning some business contracts to bar third-parties from competing with the company, allowing it to overcharge for premium services and upgraded account features. o ⚓ Open Web Advocacy ☛ Apple’s_Browser_Engine_Ban_Persists,_Even Under_the_DMA⠀⇛ TL;DR: Apple’s rules and technical restrictions are blocking other browser vendors from successfully offering their own engines to users in the EU. At the recent Digital Markets Act (DMA) workshop, Apple claimed it didn’t know why no browser vendor has ported their engine to iOS over the past 15 months. But the reality is Apple knows exactly what the barriers are, and has chosen not to remove them. o § Patents⠀➾ # § Software Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Digital Camera World ☛ GoPro_tries_using_patent courts_to_block_Insta360_–_and_both_sides_claim_a win!⠀⇛ Worryingly for users of any brand except GoPro, it seems that the company is gaining sympathy for patents that essentially argue that GoPro can exclusively have control over the idea of action cameras and electronic image stabilization. o § Trademarks⠀➾ # § Right of Publicity⠀➾ # ⚓ India Times ☛ Mexican_voice_actors_demand_regulation on_AI_voice_cloning⠀⇛ From the Monument to the Revolution in downtown Mexico City, dozens of audiovisual professionals held signs, including ones that read: "I don't want to be replaced by AI." "We are requesting that the voice be considered a biometric so that it is protected," Lili Barba, president of the Mexican Association of Commercial Announcements, told AFP. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Meta_Snaps_Up_'Conversational Voice_AI'_Startup_PlayAI⠀⇛ Now today, Meta has confirmed its acquisition of PlayAI. According to an internal memo reported by Bloomberg, the entire PlayAI will be joining Meta. The memo states, “PlayAI’s work in creating natural voices, along with a platform for easy voice creation, is a great match for our work and roadmap across AI characters, Meta AI, wearables, and audio content creation. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Is_Ozzy_Osbourne_Dying and_Set_to_Be_'Euthanised'?_Kelly_Osbourne_Slams_AI Hoax—'That's_Not_My_Dad!'⠀⇛ 'So, there's this video going around on social media, and it's supposed to be my dad, but it's AI,' she told her followers, visibly frustrated. 'It has a voice like my dad's — David Attenborough or something — and it starts out saying, 'I don't need a doctor to tell me that I'm going to die.'' o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Warner_Music_Is_Hiring_'AI_Automation &_Growth'_Analysts⠀⇛ This move comes as WMG continues to reallocate resources following layoffs that were part of a broader $300 million cost-cutting initiative. While the company has not directly linked the new role to these cuts, the timing suggests a strategic pivot towards automation and AI as a way to drive future growth. The job listing seems to reflect that, stating “you’ll be joining a team that’s building the future of how Warner Music Group operates.” # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Velvet_Sundown_Loses_Spotify_Uploads Amid_Possible_Crackdown⠀⇛ And given the commercial consequences of losing listeners and royalties to an endless sea of machine-made music, it’s safe to say there was some Velvet Sundown pushback despite an initial wave of nonchalant (or nonexistent) responses. As for what the future holds for AI on streaming, we’re once again heavy on questions and light on answers. Of course, Velvet Sundown’s Spotify pulldown doesn’t exactly bode well for forthcoming AI releases, which may well spread out across multiple “artist” profiles as opposed to dropping via a small group of accounts. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Helix_IPTV_Owner_Sentenced_to_3_Years Prison_For_Piracy_&_Money_Laundering⠀⇛ Arrested in 2019 following an investigation by the UK's Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit, the former owner of pirate IPTV service Helix Hosting has just been sentenced to three years in prison by a court in the UK. Stephen Woodward, 36, reportedly generated around £1 million in revenue from three services, with offending that reportedly continued after his initial arrest. * Gemini_Links_15/07/2025:_Smolweb_and_Alhena_5.1.7 * Gemini_Links_15/07/2025:_xkcd,_New_Cert,_and_Alhena_Gemlog ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 3988 ➮ Generation completed at 02:49, i.e. 6 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
