That Microsoft-funded firm shut down only after it had SLAPPed the media that exposed this fraud. Then it claimed to have no money to cover the cost of SLAPP, including various other liabilities. Not too long age it was revealed that Amazon and "just walk out" was a lie, not "AI". Again, low-paid Indians, not computer programs (dubbed "AI"), did the invisible labour. Why do we allow GAFAM get away with such fraud? Where are the punishments and repercussions? Even the_Linux_Foundation_has_just_participated_in_this_kind_of fraud; Microsoft paid the Linux Foundation to do this. So_did_Bill_Epsteingate. It's just about as bad as it sounds. Society or "the industry" rewards fraud . Those who talk about this fraud get SLAPPed. Certain_workers_fall_upwards. Today, a reader of ours sent along "Cheap_African_labor_supports_online intimacy" by Michael_Geoffrey_Asia. Preface: These are the stories of chat moderators and data annotation workers. My name is Michael Geoffrey Abuyabo Asia. I am an ex-chat moderator and data worker who has served across multiple global outsourcing platforms. I worked on Meta-related projects under Sama and later took on roles at CloudFactory, TELUS International, TransPerfect DataForce, Appen, and NMS Philippines. In much of this work, I was tasked with impersonating and training AI companions -- performing emotional labor that required intense psychological presence while remaining entirely invisible to the users who interacted with these systems. Like many of us, I entered this work through subcontracting structures that deliberately obscure responsibility. The labor is fragmented, undervalued, and consistently portrayed as "simple," even as it exposes workers to disturbing content and demands finely tuned emotional performance. These narratives of "low-skill" work hide a deeper reality: a rapidly expanding industry that relies on hidden human labor while offering minimal protections, unstable contracts, and little recognition. This report is an account of my own experiences--experiences widely shared by others doing this work. For this study, I interviewed seven of my colleagues, drawing on their testimonies and my lived experience to document the pressures, harms, and unresolved grievances shaping this sector. Funded by the Distributed AI Research Institute (DAIR), the Weizenbaum Institute, and Technische Universitat Berlin, the Data Workers' Inquiry foregrounds the voices and demands of data workers. It seeks to prevent further violations, establish the facts of this evolving industry, and foster the solidarity needed for meaningful change. Related: Your_sexy_AI_girlfriend_is_really_an_underpaid_guy_in_Kenya So there goes out the window another alleged "use case" of "AI". It's not even a computer . Remember that "OpenAI_Used_Kenyan_Workers_on_Less_Than_$2_Per_Hour_to_Make ChatGPT_Less_Toxic". They say "AI" will "replace humans", but all we see is so- called "AI companies" (in this case Microsoft) making slavery or turning humans into slaves . █ *

"Security"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 15, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇BT_Smart_Hub_2⦈_ Proprietary software is an unpleasant surprise. You might be satisfied with how it works today, but not tomorrow... or next year. You've simply lost control. I wrote about this topic before in relation to other_(prior)_router_updates_by BT (published videos also), installed without_notice and followed by a reboot they don't tell you about (they could, but they won't). Each time they "patch" the router something that previously worked OK is likely to just break, causing a lot of trouble, then necessitating a workaround, at least until the next update which will 'fix' the issue (while breaking other stuff). In the name of "Security"... from companies that actively_work_to_undermine security_so_that_they_can_remotely_access_almost_everything. █ * IBM_May_be_Breaking_the_Law_to_Silence_Staff_It_Laid_Off * Links_15/12/2025:_Chromebooks_as_Work_Machines,_"Americans_[Who]_Moved_to Australia"_to_Avoid_Cheeto ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠻⠻⠻⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⢀⢀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠂⠠⡐⢔⠺⡒⢖⠳⠳⡒⢞⢺⠾⣴⡡⠔⣀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⡀⠄⡀⢌⠢⡑⢌⠢⡑⢌⠢⠱⡑⢌⢂⠢⡱⡜⢿⡭⠶⠒⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠨⡐⠬⠃⣑⢌⠢⡑⢌⢢⠣⡑⡜⢎⢂⢣⠱⡘⣬⣯⠭⠭⠅⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢁⠢⠑⠂⡐⡄⢎⠢⡑⣜⢌⢢⠣⠱⡘⡌⢆⢣⢣⠱⡘⣿⠭⠭⠁⠀⠀⠠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠂⠀⢀⠠⡑⢌⢢⠳⠹⡘⡌⢆⢃⢣⠱⠘⡘⡌⡆⢇⢳⣿⠭⠭⠄⠀⠀⠠⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢄⢢⠱⡘⡌⠄⢆⢣⢱⠸⡘⡌⡆⡆⢇⢣⢱⢸⠘⡈⣿⣯⣭⣁⠀⠀⠨⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠄⠂⢃⢡⢰⠸⠘⡌⡄⡆⣇⢣⢡⢸⢸⡜⡌⡆⡇⣧⢻⣗⣚⣒⠀⠀⠘⢌⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢸⢸⠀⠀⡇⡇⡇⣷⢸⢸⢸⢸⡇⡇⡇⡇⣿⢸⢸⣗⣒⣒⠀⠀⠀⢱⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⡌⠈⠸⢠⢀⠃⠇⡟⡜⠸⢸⢸⢃⠃⡇⡗⡟⢸⢸⣷⣒⣒⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡐⠀⢁⠂⠄⡘⠰⢠⠁⠇⡇⡌⠸⢸⢠⠁⠇⡇⡎⢸⣿⠽⠯⠅⠀⠀⢙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠂⠄⡀⢀⠃⠆⡜⠰⢠⢁⠇⡌⡸⢸⢠⠁⠇⡾⣿⠭⠭⠅⠀⠀⠐⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠔⠠⢀⠊⡐⠠⠁⠆⠜⠐⢀⠁⠎⡌⡸⢰⢁⣿⣒⣒⡂⠀⠀⠀⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡤⠤⠤⠄⣴⡕⠸⣊⣑⣷⣾⣎⢶⡃⢱⣾⣾⣿⡖⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠂⣀⣀⣀⠘⢀⣔⣙⡛⠛⣛⡙⣸⣻⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠻⠧⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢿⣄⠈⢿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⡇⠂⠀⢸⣷⣶⡎⢹⣿⣷⣦⠉⣿⣿⣶⡄⢹⣿⣷⡦⠀⣳⠻⡊⠄⠘⡇⣠⣖⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠼⠷⠯⠥⠾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠧⠂⠀⠘⠛⠛⠒⠚⠛⠛⠓⠚⠛⠛⠛⠒⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠸⠤⠤⠐⠌⢛⡋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠉⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠠⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠅⣊⣀⣀⣠⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 353 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/15/Claims_of_More_IBM_Layoffs_a_Week_Before_Christmas_Week.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/15/Claims_of_More_IBM_Layoffs_a_Week_Before_Christmas_Week.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Claims of More IBM Layoffs a Week Before 'Christmas Week'⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 15, 2025, updated Dec 15, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇IBM_Poetry:_Exploring_Restriction_in_Computer_Poems⦈_ Christmas is next week and if our_literacy_or_reading_comprehension_is_OK, then as recently as today (15 December 2025) there were more IBM layoffs.

So Is "AI". Both Destroy the Planet, Not Just the Economy.⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 15, 2025 Last month: Circular_Financing_in_NVidia_(NVidia_Pays_Its_Clients_to_Buy_From NVidia)_and_"Lessons_From_the_Dotcom_Crash" 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Your_blockchain_will_be_this_wide⦈_ So this morning psydroid shared some findings from his homeland, which says datacenters_there_use_"as_much_electricity_as_1.9_million_homes" (article_in English_in_DutchNews.nl). So I asked him "is there demand or do they just build?" Remember that credible reports say companies_stockpiled_GPUs (that they hadn't paid for; a lot of that is just channel-stuffing to fake sales, create hype, cause "FOMO", inflate the prices artificially based on a phony scarcity). Believe it or not, millions of these GPUs just sit there boxed, unopened, unconnected, unused. They tell us there are shortages while we have warehouses full of that stuff without being used. psydroid told me they "just build" (datacenters) to keep this Ponzi scheme going and waste electricity. Does that remind anyone else of 'Crypto' 'Currencies' [1, 2]? Same thing, but one has more media "acceptability" because it bribes the media, as_we've_just shown.

Call him "Luddite" or whatever, he still won't change his mind unless or until a real, potent, compelling argument is presented to him. Name-calling doesn't work. His name is not Stall-man per se. It sounds like that, but it derived from other origins, just like most "Stallmans" (Stahlmann). "The surname Stall is of German origin," said_one_researcher, "derived from the Middle High German word "stal," meaning "stable" or "barn."" This is why RMS is still in charge of GNU. The founder of the Web has long been without control of his creation. The last thing we need is a "new" GNU with "new" rudderless leadership. People who attack the FSF and GNU typically want it to fail; don't be misled by "concern-trolling" because nothing hurts those trolls more than seeing the current_FSF_(with_RMS)_doing_well. █ * Slop_("AI")_Will_Replace_People_and_Take_Away_Jobs,_Say_the_Slopfarms With_Fake_(LLM-Generated)_Text_and_Slop_Images * IBM_May_be_Breaking_the_Law_to_Silence_Staff_It_Laid_Off ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 686 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/15/Due_to_Secure_Boot_An_Anti_Security_Measure_a_Kill_Switch_Compu.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/15/Due_to_Secure_Boot_An_Anti_Security_Measure_a_Kill_Switch_Compu.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Due to 'Secure Boot' (An Anti-Security Measure, a Kill Switch) Computer Users Are Afraid of GNU/ Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 15, 2025 This is what_Microsoft_wanted: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇I_installed_Arch_Linux_recently_and_I_use_windows_too._I play_games_like_valorant_in_windows_which_requires_secure_boot_on._But_during boot_up_it_will_not_load_arch_with_secure_boot_on,_because_the_keys_are_not signed⦈_ Even more recent: (3 hours ago) 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇I've_had_6_in_my_library_for_a_while_and_only_just_got around_to_trying_it._But_now_I'm_reading_all_sorts_of_things_about_how_I_need secure_boot_and_if_my_settings_aren't_correct_I_might_brick_my_system._⦈_ This morning we_mentioned (and quoted IRC) how Microsoft had vandalised computing (with restricted_boot) and then called its vandalism "BIOS".

Many of them suffer greatly from the corruption and maladministration. Last month we showed how corrupt,_lawless_individuals_were_trying_to_cover_up for_their_corrupt,_lawless_friend/individual who runs the_Mafia with António Campinos, who is now gagging_staff_representatives who try_to_coordinate industrial_actions. Like any dictatorship, the last thing they want is: 1) an informed population; 2) actions by this population (this relies on (1), as information precedes action). In_Part_9 we said about Berenguer, who managed (censored and bribed) the media for the EPO for many years: "As of now, he is on sick leave for the next six months and it is unclear if he will ever return. And yes, the EPO's internal social security system is going to compensate for his huge salary while at the same time staff gets less and less reward." Will he be rewarded over 100,000 euros to do nothing? For being_busted_with cocaine? Are EPO stakeholders OK with this misuse of EPO budget? Why does the EPO not bother explaining to stakeholders what happened and what's still happening? But wait, it gets worse. "Since you were wondering about it," an insider told us about Berenguer, "he and his family are residing in Munich of course, actually just a short walk away from the EPO headquarters. As you have correctly mentioned, this is required by the office, he can only work outside Munich for a limited time each year. His papers should therefore clearly state that Munich is his first residency - that is, if he reported it correctly to the authorities. Another proof is that his younger daughter, a minor, is enlisted to a school in Munich - the European school, where a lot of international EPO staff traditionally send their kids to." If he told German police that he's not living in Munich, then he made a false statement in order to be treated leniently. Maybe it's time for German police to visit the EPO (the EPO's chiefs would conveniently claim that it's immune and cannot be subjected to raids). Remember the time Benoît_Battistelli illegally_brought_weapons_to_the_EPO? Why did German police not prosecute anybody? What does that say about the_relationship_between_the_EPO_and_German authorities? Mr. Lutz comes to mind again. It's all very corrupt and the current Vice-President from Germany is deeply connected to this corruption. Heck, he actively_participates_in_it. █ * Links_15/12/2025:_Chromebooks_as_Work_Machines,_"Americans_[Who]_Moved_to Australia"_to_Avoid_Cheeto * Perpetuating_the_Lie_of_"No_Red_Hat_Layoffs"_Because_of_the_Bluewashing_ (Red_Hat_Became_Just_"IBM") ⣿⠛⢻⢻⢛⡛⣛⣛⢻⣿⣟⢛⡛⢛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣶⣾⣶⣀⣀⣰⣈⣉⣉⣷⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 895 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/15/EPO_People_Power_Part_XII_The_Mobbing_Got_So_Bad_People_Were_Un.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/15/EPO_People_Power_Part_XII_The_Mobbing_Got_So_Bad_People_Were_Un.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ EPO People Power - Part XII - The Mobbing Got So Bad People Were Unable to Work⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 15, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Photo_of_a_girl_behind_a_mask⦈_ Also see: Part_I | Part_II | Part_III | Part_IV | Part_V | Part_VI | Part_VII | Part_VIII | Part_IX | Part_X | Part_XI In the coming 16 days (what's still left of this year) we'll cover more EPO "inside(r) stories" and unearth more scandalous things. The_management_of_the EPO_has_been_trying_to_suppress_information_and_prevent_information_from_coming out, but we'll bring a lot of it out anyway; if not this month, then next_year (we have plenty for both). EPO Cocainegate is not going away, so far it has mostly served to show that all the mainstream European media is totally OK with high-level officials doing cocaine and it'll even go out of its way to hide that. What do we call nations or press that behave this way? "Third-world"? What's at stake here isn't just the EPO or the patent system. Regardless, what we've come to learn is, the cocaine people at the EPO (known internally_as_"the_Mafia"_or_"the_Alicante_Mafia") have been bullying workers. We'll shed light on it and we'll call our the abusers, the principal culprits. Luis and his friends may think they're above the law and not to be subjected to any scrutiny. Well, the EPO does_not_control_us_(it_tried), so its illegal activities will be shown to the world and we hope industrial_actions will send a strong message to the relevant EU officials, who milk_the_cow instead of guarding the mission of the EPO. Meanwhile, many people at the EPO are suffering, silently (they can't even come to the Office). They cannot speak to colleagues about it. They also know they're not alone; but they get isolated by the bullies. █ * GAFAM_"doesn't_depend_on_any_sort_of_lock-in,_humans_just_don't_want_to be_free_anymore,"_according_to_MinceR *

-Ryan, hours ago There have been more 'faces' in IRC lately and this past evening there was a topic being raised which concerns how Microsoft obstructs GNU/Linux adoption. The "only thing that could possibly keep proprietary software "somewhat honest" is the ability to run a Free alternative to that program," one person said, "and the prerequisite for that would open standards for formats and protocols," said another. Ryan sort of coined a term by speaking of "a liability condom for Microsoft" and he gave the example of UEFI_trouble (restricted boot), which monopolists nowadays try to rebrand as "BIOS". Another person adopted this notion of "liability condom", "which is why Microsoft fights both open formats and open standards to this day, especially via proxies," he said. And "this "restricted boot" problem is just another proxy fight". Only yesterday we mentioned_Windows_TCO_(Total_Cost_of_Ownership) in relation to attacks on Europe. Someone in IRC spoke "of exit barrier that is proprietary lock-in" and another asked us to link_to_EU-centric_posts_counting_exit_costs as_part_of_the_TCO. At the moment Europe (not just EU member states) recognises that it must explore ways to fully and truly control its computer systems. GAFAM fronts_for an_enemy_of_Europe; it is not hard to see that. Years ago Germany_spoke_against_UEFI_restricted_boot, correctly_identifying_it as_a_national_security_risk. "Secure Boot is getting worse all the time with the ultimate goal of preventing Free Software from running at all," Ryan explains. "I've had to take action over various PC vendors because of things somewhat related to this but not *exactly* this because last time I bought a PC you just turned Secure Boot off and never had to deal with it or the bugs or malfunctions in it again. And the PC vendors are always technically the ones that do it because they're a liability condom for Microsoft. It's like The Godfather relaying the hit orders through the chain of command down to someone who goes to prison if they screw up the hit. And if they talk about who ordered the hit, they get killed in prison, so they shut up and do their prison time. It's somewhat like that. So it's always like HP, Dell, Lenovo, those companies are there to implement it and they usually make it look like an accident, like they had a legitimate purpose for why only Windows works. But the "legitimate purpose" is so insane you'd never do it like that for a good reason. Like the "fake RAID" mode so you'd need a Windows driver to see the SSD in my laptop." MinceR said that "people don't seem to value free alternatives anymore" and in response somebody said, "look at no further than http://techrights.org/wiki/ High-Priority_Opponents/" (an old page that I wrote when I was planning to quit my job to focus on this site). As many readers are aware, our criticism of UEFI (restricted boot in particular) attracted a lot of online harassment against us, including stalking and libel. Apparently our arguments (technical arguments) were too strong, so boosters of restricted boot decided to go ad hominem. █ * Links_14/12/2025:_"Chile_to_ban_smartphones_in_classroom"_and_"Portugal updates_cybercrime_law_to_exempt_security_researchers" * EPO_People_Power_-_Part_XII_-_The_Mobbing_Got_So_Bad_People_Were_Unable to_Work ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⢀⡨⡛⢊⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⢤⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠄⠈⠉⠀⡟⠉⠎⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡾⠿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⡿⠃⢙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⡤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣷⠀⠰⠘⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡥⡀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠈⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⡠⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠈⠩⣿⣿⣿⣿⠽⣏⣿⡧⣷⣶⣾⣷⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⠀⠀⢀⣰⡄⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡾⡿⠛⠋⠨⠅⣿⡵⠁⢸⣿⣿⠀⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⡛⠻⡿⣫⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣬⠋⠀⠀⠀⠘⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣬⣟⠁⣬⡄⢰⣷⢟⠛⠀⢻⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣃⠀⠀⡀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⣿⣶⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢁⠀⣸⣾⠏⡀⡅⣷⡾⣾⠁⠀⠁⠀⠉⠈⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠣⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣽⡟⢣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⡈⠛⠑⣿⣷⣿⣷⡿⢐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠽⣷⣻⡖⠀⠀⠀⢀⣰⡿⣠⡠⣾⣿⣦⣼⣿⣯⣽⣿⣗⢀⠆⠀⠀⠐⠚⠖⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠐⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣽⣾⣿⣿⡸⡟⢁⠀⣈⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢴⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠈⠹⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠸⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⡅⢰⠄⢰⠛⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢂⠘⢿⣿⡟⣿⣷⢻⣿⡟⣿⣿⣄⣆⠀⠀⠈⠂⠘⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⡿⠷⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡀⢦⣿⣆⠙⢿⣮⠻⣧⢻⣧⢻⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⣽⣿⣿⣿⡘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠠⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢾⢯⣻⢷⡄⠻⣧⠹⡏⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣆⠀⠀⣧⠈⢂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢸⣯⢸⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⢟⢦⠙⢦⡘⢧⢹⠉⡼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠘⢦⡠⢦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣶⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⡙⢻⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⣀⡀⠙⢷⣄⠙⢆⢢⡇⠁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⡀⠀⡁⠈⢷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⢿⣶⣤⡈⠳⣄⠫⡀⠀⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⢰⡌⢣⠀⠀⡰⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢃⣿⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠈⡹⢿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠐⢶⣤⣽⣿⣿⣷⣬⣷⡄⠀⠀⠸⠟⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠻⡜⠲⢦⣷⣼⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠈⠨⣖⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢠⣴⠾⢿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠴⠤⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠘⡆⢉⡀⣼⣫⠽⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢸⡿⠀⢹⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠆⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣴⠋⠘⣱⡛⣄⡸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠃⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢸⣷⠀⢺⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⣿⣦⡾⠻⣷⣸⡆⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⢠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠚⠃⠀⠠⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⢿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠛⠌⠹⣆⢽⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠤⣀⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠠⣿⣿⠿⠛⣿⣁⢀⣾⡀⠀⠀⠀⣀⢲⣀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠹⠏⢁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠋⠉⠙⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣯⡶⢶⡾⠟⢫⣾⣶⡄⠀⠀⠻⣷⡘⣷⣌⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢷⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣷⡆⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠀⠀⢤⣍⣙⣛⣛⡿⢧⣄⠀⠀⠀⢸⣏⠂⣨⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠉⠳⠈⠳⢤⡍⢣⡀⠀⢹⣿⣿⢿⣟⣻⣛⣻⣿⠾⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⠒⣀⣩⣭⣭⣦⠾⣥⡑⠶⣤⡼⠻⢞⣋⣟⡛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⠙⠦⠨⠟⢧⣧⠾⠛⢋⣡⣶⣭⣽⣯⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠈⠉⣛⠊⠓⠦⢬⣝⢻⣷⣾⣜⢿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣥⣀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠾⣅⠈⣹⢛⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⡈⣿⣯⣁⡲⣤⣉⣛⡿⣿⣘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣡⡾⣛⣛⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⢸⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡚⣋⢀⣿⡉⡇⣿⣃⣿⣿⣻⣿⣴⣿⢻⣡⣻⢿⣸⣗⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⡇⣹⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠼⠯⠁⠈⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⠉⠙⣻⣭⠿⠻⠿⢟⣛⣻⡍⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣤⠤⣤⣤⣄⢹⡧⣤⢤⡄⣠⢤⡀⠠⣿⢿⣦⣤⣠⣤⣀⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⢯⣴⣿⣿⡤⣿⣭⣿⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⣤⢠⣤⣤⣤⣠⣄⢀⡤⣄⢤⣤⣄⡤⣄⣿⠂⠀ ⠀⠸⣷⢡⣗⣿⣸⡇⣿⢸⡇⣿⣉⡅⠀⣿⠈⣿⠹⣿⣉⣹⣏⣩⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣻⣽⣷⣿⣾⣟⣿⢿⣫⣿⠈⣿⢗⣿⣝⣿⣿⣿⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠹⡾⠀⣿⢸⡇⣿⢺⡅⣿⢸⡇⢺⣍⣩⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠁⠀⠉⠈⠉⠉⠈⠉⠉⠈⠉⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠀⠈⠉⠁⠉⠁⠀⠉⠙⠿⢻⣿⣿⣽⣏⢁⡽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣍⡬⠭⣭⡁⢈⣴⣋⡽⢽⣿⣿⣔⡿⢽⣿⣟⠉⠉⠶⠃⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠁⠉⠉⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⢀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢚⣿⣯⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣝⣿⣷⠀⢉⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠈⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢈⡉⠩⢭⣥⠉⠉⢁⠀⠉⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢈⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1143 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/15/IBM_CEO_Arvind_Krishna_Proof_That_at_IBM_People_Fall_Upwards.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/15/IBM_CEO_Arvind_Krishna_Proof_That_at_IBM_People_Fall_Upwards.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 𝐈𝐁𝐌 𝐂𝐄𝐎 𝐀𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐊𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐧𝐚: Proof That at IBM People Fall Upwards⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 15, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇IBM_invested_billions—around_$4-5_billion_in_Watson_Health alone—but_sold_it_off_for_$1_billion_in_2022,_marking_a_major_financial_loss and_contributing_to_stock_value_declines_and_layoffs.⦈_ "IBM’s reported move toward an $11B acquisition of Confluent is not a bold AI strategy—it’s a familiar, expensive reflex.

They also impact Red Hat staff. To restrict or prevent criticism IBM uses NDAs or similarly-worded_threats (it tries to still exercise control, even over people that it laid off).

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Time_to_sell_Consulting?⦈_ Why is the CEO ("AK") still in charge and how much more money will he waste before he inevitably gets the boot? The problem here is, at least from our perspective, via Red Hat (what used to be known as that, prior to the bluewashing) IBM exercises way too much control over the direction of GNU/Linux. Nothing indicates that IBM's CEO even knows what it is or has ever used it! To "AK", Red Hat was another "portfolio item" to throw inside the bag. Look what has happened to Red Hat since he took over it (that was his idea). █ * EPO_People_Power_-_Part_XII_-_The_Mobbing_Got_So_Bad_People_Were_Unable to_Work *

this year, even_in_some subsidiaries_of_sorts. To us, this serves to demonstrate the fragility of IBM. Nobody,_anywhere,_is safe. The article above, not from India_Today but from India Today Group (Living Media India Limited), is a good example of the churn from the "AK sez" tour [1, 2]. The CEO "AK" got so absurd and increasingly useless as a shallow storyteller that nowadays, if he's not busy name-dropping buzzwords, he boasts about being left behind or being left out... as a great advantage. One day he gets_all excited_about_"Hey_Hi"_(AI), then the next day he brags that he's not participating in the hype. Can't he make up his mind? What sort of leadership is this? Instead of firing the leadership (the Board can do this), IBM is gagging the critics [1, 2]. "AK" et al must go. Morale won't improve as long as they speak for IBM. I heard "AK" (videos) and he talks a lot of nonsense. That's my honest opinion of him. "AK" cannot really speak for the company that 'started' (or became the face of) modern computing. This "let's buy revenue" strategy of his is extremely_costly and many of the things IBM buys overlap one another, so there's endless waste and IBM is overpaying. It is bleeding to death. If this leadership carries on, the only red left at IBM won't be Red Hat but a red stain. █ "It would be logical to sell Consulting, but IBM needs the FCF that it provides. Consulting isn't growing and it's nowhere near as profitable as Tech, but it still throws off A LOT of cash. Cash that IBM can use to buy companies like Red Hat, Hashi, and Confluent to make up for the fact that Tech hasn't really developed a new product in over 20 years." -Minutes_ago "There's nothing strategic about it. IBM makes big acquisitions like this when their internal financial forecasts show Revenue declining a few quarters out and they need to preemptively "buy Revenue". It's a sign of a very unhealthy company that cannot organically develop new products or acquire new customers. The story has been the same for the last 15+ years." -Also_minutes_ago * Links_15/12/2025:_"Life_in_Prison"_for_Criticising_China,_Tikhanovskaya Says_'Pressure_Works' *

published "IBM:_We_Pay_You_to_be_Obedient_or_Deny_You_What You're_Entitled_to_If_You_Don't_Act_Obediently" (after we had mentioned the NDAs [1-3]) A reader has since then pointed out that "[c]ompanies_can't_enforce_silence_for severance_pay,_Labor_Board_rules". "In short," said this reader, "non-disparagement clauses are a violation of basic rights, as I have long pointed out." Who's going to take IBM to court over this?

There seems_to_be_a_large_wave_of_Microsoft_layoffs set to be announced in a number of weeks, just like every January (in recent years). A lot of Europe also dumps Microsoft.

Notice how, like Geminispace, it all started with CERN and NCSA. Like the Net, which didn't start with GAFAM but academic institutions and the military. It wasn't always about greed, bloat, ad, spying... NCSA Mosaic was first released in 1993. It was coded by Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina. You can still find_an_archive_of_its_Web_site, the binaries_pages for_XMosaic, and the last_version. We're talking about the mid-90s when those things could fit on a floppy. You could surf the whole Web with them. Now, 30 years later, the_download_size_for_the_same_thing_on_Android_is_around 10_megabytes. Like other dumb things (think containers), we've added bloat while improving nothing at all. The same can be said about text editors, images editors, and all sorts of other things. The trajectory of library-inherited bloat seems universal. There are still loads of bugs and the main effect is, we need more hardware to run or do the same thing. Who said computing would improve over time? The improvements are subjective. █ * Over_at_Tux_Machines... * Slop_("AI")_Will_Replace_People_and_Take_Away_Jobs,_Say_the_Slopfarms With_Fake_(LLM-Generated)_Text_and_Slop_Images

Here's the key part (and then some more examples; other companies): And now, in November, they announced thousands of more layoffs. No one seems safe, regardless of job title. Those cut include positions in "artificial intelligence, marketing, software engineering and cloud technology." Next, IBM has had a mixed record as a steward of acquisitions. Red Hat has doubled in revenues since their 2019 acquisition. For a while its headcount continued to grow, as much as 19,000 by 2023. But then it was forced into layoffs by parent IBM in April of that year [edit: they have been unaffected by layoffs since, for now], even while it remains one of the highest margin businesses in their portfolio. SoftLayer — "IBM Cloud Classic" — also suffered significant layoffs in early 2025, with offshoring sending jobs to India. DataStax had layoffs in 2023-2024, even before its acquisition was announced. Maybe they were "trimming the fat" to get into a shape to be acquired. As a person with a long career in marketing, I know that many of the first roles to be jettisoned at a newly-acquired company tend to be in go-to-market organizations. Sales, Marketing, Developer Relations, Documentation, Training, Community, Customer Service. These tend to be seen as "nice to haves" by upper management. But their loss guts organizations and hollows out user-facing teams and open source communities. My hope is that Confluent is spared as much of the pain and turmoil as possible. That, like Red Hat, it is run autonomously as much as possible. Many Red Hat employees were pushed out and/or removed lately, but "technically" they are IBM now, so Red Hat as a 'company' (subsidiary being bluewashed) won't say a single word about it. This exemplifies a severe issue with today's media. It just parrots lies, it has no courage or thirst for information (beyond PR, i.e. deceit). Consider this new_fake_journalism, a puff piece about IBM Red Hat, paid_for_by IBM. Red Hat then links_to_its_own_paid-for_piece. This isn't journalism but corruption thereof - part of an international trend [1-2]. Apropos, considering how media_fails_to_report_on_EPO_crimes (because the person who bribes the media commands the media), this is a_familiar_issue_in the_US, where Bill Epsteingate is protected from potent allegations connected to abuse of underage women, a Microsoft_employee_arrested_for_strangulation is apparently not newsworthy, and all sorts of other important things "go under the radar". Consider that the EPO is now a headless chicken. Journalists in Europe are aware of it, but they tell me they're afraid to write about it. How much will EU and Germany compromise (their own reputation) to protect the criminal enterprise that EPO became? Without this much COMPLICITY of the media, this much EPO corruption would not be possible. Why are layoffs at Red Hat being overlooked? And why has nobody done investigative journalism into the_true_extent_of_IBM_layoffs? Society_is drowning_in_evasions_and_lies_told_by_corporations. █ Related/contextual items from the news: 1. ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ ‘It’s_not_a_coincidence’:_journalists_of_color_on being_laid_off_amid_Trump’s_anti-DEI_push⠀⇛ 2. ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-12-05_[Older]_How_White_House_attack_on journalists_affects_US_press_freedom⠀⇛ "I figured most journalists would not disclose their sources." -How_Sean_Combs' Latest_Move_Is_a_Threat_to_Journalists_Worldwide (Source: Rolling Stone) "Former President Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Larry Summers, Richard Branson, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Alan Dershowitz and Woody Allen are also pictured, as well as sex paraphernalia, including a photo of a pile of Trump-branded condoms for sale." -Photos_of_Donald_Trump,_Steve_Bannon_and_Bill_Clinton Featured_in_New_Epstein_Document_Dump (Source: Allbritton Journalism Institute) "The rushed integration of half-cooked automation into the already broken U.S. journalism industry simply isn’t going very well." -Politico’s_Union Journalists_Win_Key_Ruling_In_Battle_Against_Lazy,_Undercooked_AI (Source: Techdirt) * EPO_People_Power_-_Part_XIII_-_If_the_EPO's_Chief_Propagandist_ (Berenguer)_Told_the_Police_He_Was_a_Spanish_Tourist_(or_Similar)_or_That He_Does_Not_Reside_in_Munich,_Then_He_May_Have_Lied_to_the_Police_(in Addition_to_Doing_Cocaine_in_Public) * Microsoft_Colonialism_in_Africa_is_Not_Sustainable ⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣧⣌⣎⣰⣡⣏⣿⣰⣃⣸⣱⣈⣌⣜⣐⣇⠩⣺⣏⣟⣍⣉⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣰⣾⣇⣦⣪⣀⣔⣰⣀⣼⣿⣿⣷⣷⣾⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣏⣻⢹⠛⠟⢟⠟⣿⣹⡟⠛⠙⠟⠏⡏⠋⠟⢻⡻⠋⢿⡟⠟⣏⠋⠟⠛⠟⠛⠛⢻⡏⢹⢉⠿⠻⡿⠻⢻⠻⠹⠻⡏⠙⠿⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⢻⢟⡿⢿⡿⡛⢛⠻⡛⡿⡟⠉⢝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⡏⣿⡝⠉⡙⠋⣿⠍⡝⠝⠹⡯⠉⣭⢽⠉⡿⠉⠩⠙⡏⢹⠩⣫⢽⡭⠍⠫⠏⠛⣹⠉⡯⡋⠉⢯⢹⠩⠉⠋⣻⡍⠋⡉⢛⢹⣭⢉⢝⠉⣽⡇⢞⢝⠉⡅⠈⠏⠉⢩⡍⡟⢹⡍⠩⣿⠀⠚⠘⡸⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⡟⢿⠿⡿⠿⡿⠻⢻⢿⠿⠿⠷⣾⢿⠿⡿⣿⠿⠿⡟⡿⡿⠿⢿⡿⠿⠿⣿⠿⢷⠻⡿⠿⠻⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⢿⡿⠿⢿⡿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⡿⢿⠿⠿⣿⠿⠿⣿⡿⠿⡿⠻⠿⠿⢿⠿⢿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣧⣷⣼⣴⣤⣿⣿⣴⣼⣧⣬⣦⣿⣤⣼⣮⣿⣬⣭⣧⣦⣦⣄⣹⣥⣤⣥⣧⣼⣽⣬⣮⣦⣼⣼⣬⣬⣼⣤⣨⣦⣤⣼⣧⣤⣾⣷⣦⣿⣤⣤⣧⣧⣿⣤⣧⣤⣿⣤⣼⣿⣥⣼⣮⣴⣤⣇⣹⣧⣴⣥⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣏⣹⣿⣰⣛⣏⣯⣉⣍⡍⣈⣽⣇⣁⣙⣅⣈⣉⣍⣇⣇⣩⣁⣉⣩⣯⣝⣋⡏⣹⣾⣍⣇⣯⣉⣽⣇⣷⣁⣈⣮⣹⣆⣏⣩⣉⣭⣁⣇⣯⣹⣉⣉⣍⣉⣩⣏⣹⣨⣚⡍⣇⣍⣍⣍⣉⣍⣹⣉⣩⣉⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⡟⣿⠿⢿⣛⠛⡟⠟⡟⣿⡿⢻⡿⣿⡿⡟⢻⢿⠟⣿⢿⡿⠻⣿⣟⡛⡻⢟⡛⠟⠛⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣷⣶⣾⣾⣿⣶⣷⣶⣷⣾⣶⣶⣶⣾⣷⣷⣾⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣷⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2387 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/15/Slop_AI_Will_Replace_People_and_Take_Away_Jobs_Say_the_Slopfarm.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/15/Slop_AI_Will_Replace_People_and_Take_Away_Jobs_Say_the_Slopfarm.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Slop ("AI") Will Replace People and Take Away Jobs, Say the Slopfarms With Fake (LLM-Generated) Text and Slop Images⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 15, 2025 Slop promotes slop. Catholics promote Catholicism. Muslims promote Islam. On the Web, we keep seeing endless (automated churn) 'articles' about how "AI" (whatever they mean by that) is dooming humans or jobs or whatever. They keep saying the same lies over and over again. Algorithms don't get bored or tired.

The net effect here is mistrust and a big loser will be media or sites that play along with this phony narrative.

Today's Web is bloated, unlike Geminispace, it's tracked a lot, also unlike Geminispace, and it only seems to be getting worse - to the point where it's only compatible with one "family" of Web browsers (anything based on Chrom*). Judging by our general reach, even if we had no Web site and there was no World Wide Web (WWW), we'd still be publishing a lot, at least for the Gemini audience (there are text bulletins also). While Slopwatch has become mostly obsolete (we don't find enough material or slop samples for it anymore; even the Serial Slopper Brian Fagioli is mostly pushing slop about slop), the Web itself isn't recovering. The sites that became inactive or went offline aren't staging a comeback; it's not that slop alone killed them, they just generally lack budget and some of them say that Google's slop disguised as "search" harms their traffic/visibility. The Web probably "peaked" around 20 years ago. That was when printed "press" (magazines, newspapers etc.) had fully transitioned to an "online era" and still kept many of the same reporters, who published high-quality stories and actually fact-checked [1, 2, 3]. GAFAM's growing dominance and the 'herding' of users online to "social control media" (or "apps") did a lot more damage than slop (see example below). █

"devclass" or DevClass, which is basically a Microsoft propaganda site run by Microsoft Tim (when he covers Linux he speaks_for_Microsoft; he 'left' for DevClass about_4_weeks_ago). They even promote this site at the top of the front page now.

The above article contains the term "AI" about 50 times. At the bottom it says: "Sponsored by HPE." The Register MS got rid of an editor this year. He told me he knew "AI" was a misnomer, hype etc. The person who replaced him is a hardcore Microsofter and The Register MS carries on taking money to promote a scam (and_Windows) or 'recruit' more victims for the_pyramid_scheme. This won't end well for The Register MS.

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇used_to_say_that_it_is_good_and_acceptable_to_not_obey_a rule⦈_ As we've_only_just_mentioned, Microsoft is basically a "con job". Its biggest client is itself (e.g. paying "open" "AI" to pretend to be an Azure "client"), it's_bribing_many_politicians_to_buy_Microsoft (swindling nations with kickbacks), and it does all sorts of other illegal things. Microsoft is just a more glorified or "respectable" form of organised crime. That's aside from abuse_of_children. Heck, Microsoft_money_got_used_to_SLAPP_me_this_year (via a notorious firm sued by its own clients [1, 2, 3]; I call them "defamation firm" because they defamed me a lot this year). I'll have plenty_of_time_to_talk_about_it_in_the coming_years. Like the EPO, which was mentioned_about_an_hour_ago, those who do illegal things tend to go further and bully those who merely speak about these illegal things. When dealing with such sociopathic entities that wrongly assume they're above the law and will always be above the law (they end_up_facilitating_exploitation of_underage_women_for_sex or doing_cocaine_outdoors,_in_plain_sight) it becomes even more urgent to write about what they do and it is very important to pursue accountability. █ * In_Russia,_Microsoft_is_Already_a_Dying_Breed_Online * Another_"AI"_(Slop)_Use_Cases_Turns_Out_to_be_a_Fraud ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⡏⣿⢹⢸⢻⣯⣟⡿⢽⣿⡯⣿⢻⢩⡟⣿⣽⣿⡏⣿⢹⡟⡯⣿⢻⢹⡇⡟⣽⣽⣿⡇⣿⣽⡟⣿⣿⣽⡟⣏⣿⣹⣿⣏⣿⢻⢩⡟⣿⣽⡿⢫⡏⣿⣹⢩⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣽⣼⣼⣮⣽⣿⣭⣾⣿⣯⣽⣼⣼⣷⣭⣿⣿⣧⣿⣼⣧⣯⣽⣼⣮⣥⣷⣭⣿⣿⣷⣽⣮⣵⣿⣿⣮⣵⣷⣭⣿⣿⣷⣭⣾⣼⣷⣭⣾⣿⣯⣷⣭⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣻⣻⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠏⡝⣯⣽⠇⣿⢝⢟⣿⢻⣩⡟⣽⡿⢨⡏⣽⢽⣿⢹⣿⡍⣿⣩⣯⣽⣭⡯⣸⡯⣹⡏⣻⣸⣿⢏⢽⣭⡻⡏⢿⢹⡿⠸⣇⡻⣿⣹⣭⣿⣩⣯⣽⢿⡯⣹⣏⡻⣏⣻⡏⣹⣯⡿⣹⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2916 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/15/Wrapping_Up_and_Ending_Slopwatch.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/15/Wrapping_Up_and_Ending_Slopwatch.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Wrapping Up and Ending "Slopwatch"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 15, 2025 An "end-of-life" improvement The series called Slopwatch began about a year ago in response to somewhat of a surge in LLM slop and slopfarms in the "Linux" sphere. This past month or so we see a rapid_decline_in_the_frequency_of_slop and some news report we recently saw confirms it's not "just us" or "just Linux" or whatever. People are fed up with slop and even some companies move on (they dump slop, to some it was a failed_experiment). In the past day or so we saw no_slop in our RSS feeds. In Google News, there's only a pair of slopfarms (run by the same person/s) and the output looks lame: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slop_or_fake:_New_VolkLocker_Ransomware_Variant_Targets_Both Linux_and_Windows_Systems⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slop_or_fake:_VolkLocker_Emerges_as_a_Cross-Platform Ransomware_Threat_Targeting_Linux_and_Windows⦈_ Aside from those generic slop images the headlines are almost the same. It's just some nonsense from an LLM. We'll still keep abreast of slop, but we don't envision it suddenly making a "comeback", so a series like Slopwatch may have outlived its usefulness or necessity. █ *

Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Politics_and_World_Events o Technology_and_Free_Software * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ How_We_Lost_Communication_to_Entertainment⠀⇛ A few days ago, I did a controversial blog post about Pixelfed hurting the Fediverse. I defended the theory that, in a communication network, you hurt the trust in the whole network if you create clients that arbitrarily drop messages, something that Pixelfed is doing deliberately. It gathered a lot of reactions. When I originally wrote this post, nearly one year ago, I thought that either I was missing something or Dansup, Pixelfed’s creator, was missing it. We could not both be right. But as the reactions piled in on the Fediverse, I realised that such irreconcilable opinions do not arise only from ignorance or oversight. It usually means that both parties have vastly different assumptions about the world. They don’t live in the same world. # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding_—_ABGLUSO_Wordo:_COCOA⠀⇛ # ⚓ Magnificence⠀⇛ Do you not feel it, the magnificence of our existence? Do you not feel the sun blessing your skin, the moon's light walking with you under the whooshing of the wind? What of the birds, their beauty and spriteliness and charm? Or of the leaves? The minerals, or the ground itself? What small part we have in our world, yet how immense is the grandeur contained therein! How can we let ourselves give up? How can we permit it to be ruined? How can we permit ourselves to live less? The wonderous capabilities we have been given, the opportunities we can seize should we will it. # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding_—_BCEINOU_Wordo:_NOVEL⠀⇛ # ⚓ Juntos⠀⇛ This one will be an amalgamation of shower-thought type-thoughts that I've come up with over the past few days. [...] In life, though it may be bound by arithmetical laws, it seems that there is a differently nuanced take. The distance from zero to one is far greater than the distance from one to two. Take, for example, the psychological effort spent on exams. If one were to take only one exam for the entirety of the course, there is much greater psycho-spiritual effort dedicated to that one exam. If for that same course there were two exams, the economist would say that 50% of the psycho- spiritual effort goes to the first exam and the other 50% goes to the second exam. Yet we humans can never be assumed to be ceteribus paribus. In practicality, once one has successfully sat the first exam, the second one comes easier. Thus, it is closer to a 75%-25% split of the psycho- spiritual effort applied toward that one class' exam. o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Happy_Chanukah⠀⇛ Happy Chanukah! I've never celebrated Chanukah before but I think we did a pretty good job. I made latkes for lunch and everyone but the five-year-old was delighted. Donuts in the evening, which I have to say turned out amazing. Deep fryers really succeed at enacting their intended function. We filled them with jelly as is appropriate. Promised my wife we could watch The Hebrew Hammer but it has seemingly fallen off of the global streaming- service network so we're gonna watch...Space Balls instead. Not quite as Jewish as The Hebrew Hammer but not not-Jewish. It's been busy since last I wrote. Went to two music events at my synagogue, one for little kids and one for adults. Both good, but the one for adults was transcendent. I love to sing. I sing pretty well for someone who has never trained at singing. I can't harmonize, for instance. But I've always wanted a better outlet for singing than just singing to myself and my kids. For a while I was interested in shape note singing, but didn't live in a place that made it easy to connect with those communities. And now I'm looking for specifically Jewish community, and shape note singing is decidedly Christian. # ⚓ 2025-12-14⠀⇛ So President Orange-man suspended CAFE penalties for automanufacturers selling American-bound cars. What does that mean? It means that automakers really don't have to meet CAFE fleet average fuel economy targets for their vehicles in the United States. Being fined and penalized for not meeting CAFE fuel economy standards was the one big lever the US government had to try to force automakers to make their cars more fuel efficient. El Presidente Trump kind of pulled an interesting trick. Since he could not repeal the CAFE regulations, he instead made an executive order changing what is effectively a coefficient number used to calculate the fine for car makers to zero. So basically the formula that the regulation uses to calculate the financial penalty for a car maker is then basically multiplied by zero. This effectively neuters the law using IMO a kind of math hack. Clever girl. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ The_Dichotomy_between_the_Real_and_the_Digital⠀⇛ There exists within my mind a dichotomy between that which is truly real and that what is digital. I cannot, I am afraid, put into words how much I like Reality (tm). What is real is that which is. # ⚓ In_defense_of_ebooks⠀⇛ I was perusing Gopher today while work was at a dead stop thanks to the holidays being near and nothing going on. I came across a couple glog posts about how physical media, specifically print books, were better. I mean it's not a secret why: no electricity needed, no chance at changing text, DRM isn't really a thing, etc. And while I do agree there are advantages, one thing I will note is that ebooks have taken precedent because of the many shortcomings of print books. 1. Ebooks weigh nothing. You can fit entire libraries on actual cassette tapes. My personal library, though small, has been transferred to my e-reader and my phone. Dozens if not hundreds of ebooks, right at my fingertips. I don't need to pack anything more than a single device that is often smaller than the books it displays. 2. Ebooks are easier to obtain. Granted I spent a ton of time scanning and OCR-ing my library, ebooks are just a walk in the park when you buy them directly. Yes, you may need to deDRM them, but in my experience, that's pretty easy, especially compared to bad sector disc protection. # ⚓ Vibe_Coding⠀⇛ So, we have all heard the hype. AI everywhere, blah blah blah. Yeah I am just as sick of it as everyone else. However, I was at a plant last week in Idaho for work and was talking to one of the workers there. He works for six months a year, then takes the other half year off to write software with AI. He was very passionate about it. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Yet, ChromeOS has grown into a rather mature operating system, and there are plenty of features that can supercharge your productivity or expand your options hidden under the surface of that user-friendly interface. # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ The_hidden_costs_of_using_a_Chromebook_as_your only_computer⠀⇛ Chromebooks have come a long, long way since I first used one. It helps that so much of what we do every day happens in a browser, so, in a way, we've met Chromebooks halfway. Either way, it's entirely possible to use a Chromebook as your only computer. The question is, what are you giving up by doing so? § Limitations with professional and legacy software As far as ChromeOS has come, if you're a professional that needs to use certain applications from disciplines like engineering, science, and so on, there's just no way to run that software in many cases. Some modern Chromebooks can run Android or Linux applications, but there are various limitations here as well. For example, getting GPU acceleration to work on the Linux virtual machine in Chrome OS is a hassle, and even if you get it working it might not work reliably or as expected. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-12-06_[Older]_UK:_4_arrested_after_throwing custard_at_Crown_Jewels⠀⇛ o ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-12-07_[Older]_Louvre:_Water_leak_damages hundred_of_historic_books⠀⇛ o ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ Taylor_Swift_surprises_Eras_Tour_crew_with jaw-dropping_bonus⠀⇛ Taylor Swift distributed a total of $197 million in bonuses to her Eras Tour team following the conclusion of the record-breaking global tour in December 2024. o ⚓ Matthew Weber ☛ The_End_Of_The_Daily_Blog_Post_-_Matt's_Blog⠀⇛ I’ve learned a few things during this process. First, forcing it is a bad idea. Most times I did fine, but there were several times where I just did not want to blog but forced one out anyway. It never felt good nor did those blog posts turn out well. Second, I did enjoy the process sometimes. That leads me to believe that a few month-long daily challenges might be worthwhile. Something to push me to write in series, similar to Blaugust. I’ve also figured out that blogging is a lot of fun, but if it feels like an obligation, the fun dies. o ⚓ Manuel Moreale ☛ IndieWeb_Carnival:_where_do_I_wish_to_see_the IndieWeb_in_2030⠀⇛ Here’s my hope for the IW in 2030: I hope that in 5 years, we have stopped pretending. Pretending that replacing corporate platforms with bad copies of the same platforms is a good and desirable thing to do. Pretending that what we really need to solve the issues that are plaguing the web is more tools and more protocols. Pretending that all the people out there who use the web on a daily basis care about the same things we do. Pretending that the fault for all this digital mess lies entirely on the shoulders of a few mega corporations, while the billions of people out there are just bystanders, caught in the crossfire. o ⚓ Tyler Sticka ☛ That_time_Steve_Silberman_wrote_me_a_nice_email…⠀⇛ It’s hard to overstate how much those messages meant (and still mean) to me. It’s not like Steve wouldn’t have been busy: Wired would publish his award-winning article “The Placebo Problem” just a few weeks after our chat (Neurotribes arriving quite a while after). His testimonial was featured on my website and résumé for many years. o ⚓ Computational Complexity ☛ Computational_Complexity:_Weird_Al_vs Weird_AI⠀⇛ The following headline confused me: [...] o ⚓ Jamie Zawinski ☛ RIP_John_Varley⠀⇛ o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Viking-Age_Grave_Reveals_a_Burial_Unlike Anything_Seen_Before⠀⇛ Not only is this a first for pre-Christian Viking burials, but there appear to be no clear parallels in the published archaeological record. "The most remarkable thing is two scallop shells placed at the dead woman's mouth," says archaeologist Raymond Sauvage of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). # ⚓ Maury ☛ More_uranium_ore:_(Maurycy's_blog)⠀⇛ Rocks like this don't pose a hazard to be around. They are detectably radioactive, but so are the bananas and stone countertop in your kitchen. However, uranium is poisonous enough that eating these rocks would be a bad idea. # ⚓ Interesting Engineering ☛ Helium_isotope_could_help pinpoint_location_of_buried_gold_deposits⠀⇛ The team used helium isotopes to determine the contribution of mantle heat in driving the ore fluids responsible for major gold deposits in the Laurentian Caledonides of Britain and Ireland, including all active mines (Cononish, Curraghinalt, and Cavanacaw), many of which are tentatively classed as orogenic. The 3He/4He of fluids in Au-bearing sulfides (0.09−3.3 Ra) require a significant contribution from exsolved magmatic volatiles, implying that mantle heat is intrinsic to ore formation, according to a paper published in the journal Geology. # ⚓ Wired ☛ How_Do_Astronomers_Find_Planets_in_Other_Solar Systems?⠀⇛ Another problem is the dimness of planets. Sure, Jupiter is easy to see in our own night sky, because of the sunlight reflecting off its surface. But you can't see Jupiter at all during the day, because that reflected light is much dimmer than direct sunlight. It’s the same for exoplanets. When we’re looking at the light from a star, the planets around it just aren’t bright enough to be discernable. Luckily, there are other methods, and I’m going to explain the two that were used to find most of the exoplanets we know today. There's a bunch of cool physics here, so let’s go! # ⚓ Ari Jaktløve Atori ☛ Converting_Encoded_Color_Formats_to Linear_RGB⠀⇛ Depending on the nature of your application, you may be dealing with color spaces and color correction standards outside of sRGB. Whether it is an Adobe RGB image, Display P3 monitor, HDR10 color space, etc., you will need to know the correct ways to transfer between one color space to another, as well as being able to correctly apply and invert any encoding corrections so certain color mainpulations can work properly. Here, I have created a list of the different color correction methods, most common color formats, the method of converting between color spaces, and ways to clamp values of colors outside the destination color space. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Daniel Miller ☛ They_Are_the_Same⠀⇛ The point is, we typically want our lives, and by most of its measure, our work, to serve some meaningful narrative. And we want it now. When we’re young that is embodied by dreams of recognition and wealth based on talent or intellect. As we age, we might enter a period of righteous resentment, sometimes most constructively revealed as questioning, more often as angry knowing (and attempts at convincing). As Chuck Palahniuk so deftly spoke to my generation: [...] # ⚓ Maureen Holland ☛ Magpie_|_State_of_the_Browser_2025⠀⇛ One of the joys of working in web development is a lot of content relevant to your interests ends up, well, on the Web. In particular, a lot of conferences offer online tickets. 99 times out of 100, I go online. But yesterday, I attended State of the Browser in person. Imposter syndrome and social anxiety were my primary emotions on arrival. I wondered if I had made a huge mistake. But over the course of the day, the voices telling me I shouldn't be there diminished and I was able to approach people I didn't know and say hello. Everyone I met was truly lovely. It's been a long time since I walked into a large room of strangers and walked out with friends. As expected, the talks were excellent. Here's a quick breakdown: [...] o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-12-04_[Older]_US_'Cancer_Alley' residents_stand_up_to_petrochemical_giants⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-12-04_[Older]_EU_agrees_to_relax regulations_around_gene-edited_crops⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2025-12-02_[Older]_Ontario_auditor_general_finds province_not_properly_overseeing_doctor_billings⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2025-12-02_[Older]_As_women_with_‘invisible illnesses’_struggle_to_be_believed,_a_report_on_chronic_pain could_help⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-12-08_[Older]_DRC_fighting_worst cholera_outbreak_in_25_years_—_UNICEF⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-12-08_[Older]_Guinea-Bissau:_Can_new leaders_fight_'narco-state'_image?⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2025-12-03_[Older]_CFIA_staff_won't_do_interviews_as avian_flu_outbreak_in_Ontario_grows,_citing_death_threats since_ostrich_cull⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2025-12-04_[Older]_Australia's_youth_social_media_ban is_looming._Could_Canada_roll_out_something_similar?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-12-07_[Older]_New_AI_model_can predict_5-year_breast_cancer_risk⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-12-07_[Older]_Unknown_volcano eruption_claimed_as_cause_of_Black_Death⠀⇛ o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ AI_Toys_for_Kids_Talk_About_Sex,_Drugs,_and_Chinese Propaganda⠀⇛ Two people allegedly linked to China’s infamous Salt Typhoon espionage hacking group seem to have previously received training through Cisco’s prominent, long-running networking academy. Meanwhile, warnings are increasingly emerging from United States lawmakers in Congress that safeguards on expanded US wiretap powers have been failing, allowing US intelligence agencies to access more of Americans’ data without adequate constraints. # § Artificial Intelligence (AI) / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Turkey ☛ 2025-12-05_[Older]_Japan_issues_arrest warrant_against_teen_suspected_of_cyberattack_using AI⠀⇛ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Police_Investigating_Weird_Man_Found_in Waymo_by_Passenger⠀⇛ It’s only the latest in a lengthy series of incidents involving Waymo’s autonomous vehicles. We’ve come across reports of the cars plowing over pets, blasting through an active police standoff in downtown LA, and even a collision involving two Waymo vehicles crashing into each other, trapping a third. # ⚓ CBS ☛ Woman_in_Los_Angeles_found_man_inside_Waymo trunk_before_ride_-_CBS_Los_Angeles⠀⇛ Police are looking into how a man ended up inside the trunk of a driverless Waymo in the Westlake District, surprising a mom and daughter. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Waymo's_Software_Patch_to_Not_Run_Down Children_Getting_Off_School_Buses_Isn't_Working,_School Claims⠀⇛ The recall comes after 20 incidents with school buses were recorded in Austin, as well as at least six in Atlanta throughout 2025. While no one has been hurt yet, NHTSA records note at least one case where a Waymo zoomed past “disembarking students.” That’s an immensely serious threat to safety: driving past a school bus with active warning lights and stop arms extended is a major traffic violation in all 50 states, carrying steep penalties for human drivers. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ People_Are_Already_Creating_Ghoulishly Horrifying_Sora_Disney_Videos⠀⇛ Since its launch, Sora users have been gleefully churning out absurd and dark short- form clips that spoof Disney’s intellectual property — especially those made by its animation studio Pixar, aping their recognizable aesthetic and often prominently flashing Disney’s and Pixar’s logos. It doesn’t bode well for how fans will end up using the collaboration once it goes online. One of the most popular Sora trends has been to generate Disney-style trailers built on exceedingly dark humor. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Google_Translate_now_understands_slang, sayings_and_can_talk_through_your_headphones⠀⇛ Google Translate now uses its advanced Gemini AI to improve how it translates meaning and not just words, the company announced on Friday. The upgrade focusses on understanding phrases, idioms, local expressions, and slang more naturally. # ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ Copywriters_reveal_how_AI_has decimated_their_industry⠀⇛ The big question for me is if a new AI- infested economy creates new jobs that are a great fit for people affected by this. I would hope that clear written communication skills are made even more valuable, but the people interviewed here don't appear to be finding that to be the case. # ⚓ Ben Congdon ☛ Chorus_is_Good_Software⠀⇛ I’ve been using Chorus for the past 6- 7 months. Within the first couple days of using it, I was telling everyone I talk with about AI stuff to try it out. Melty Labs, the company behind Chorus, subsequently built Conductor. It appears this Conductor now their primary focus, and as such they’ve decided to open source Chorus. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ AI_image_generators_are_getting_better_by getting_worse_|_The_Verge⠀⇛ Remember the early days of AI image generation? Oh how we laughed when our prompts resulted in people with too many fingers, rubbery limbs, and other details easily pointing to fakes. But if you haven’t been keeping up, I regret to inform you that the joke is over. AI image generators are getting way better at creating realistic fakes, partly thanks to a surprising new development: making image quality a little bit worse. # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ El País ☛ Mexico’s_Generation_Z_is_growing_up_with precariousness,_uncertainty_and_political_distrust._And social_media_is_their_primary_source_of_information⠀⇛ EL PAÍS interviewed 10 people between the ages of 16 and 26 — students, workers and residents of various parts of Mexico City and the surrounding State of Mexico (Edomex) — to learn about their concerns and how they feel about the country that they live in. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Streamer_Sued_for_Assaulting_Gay_Robot⠀⇛ “This was an event that was livestreamed so there’s not a ton of discrepancy as to the facts,” Social Robotics’ lawyer Joel Levine told TechCrunch. “What we’re looking for is some accountability.” # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-12-05_[Older]_EU_imposes_€120 million_fine_on_Elon_Musk's_X_for_breaking_digital rules⠀⇛ # § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ # ⚓ 2025-12-07_[Older]_They’ve_escaped_a_lot_of_media attention,_but_Anubis_RaaS_is_a_threat_to_the_medical sector⠀⇛ # ⚓ Help Net Security ☛ 2025-12-02_[Older]_How_a_noisy ransomware_intrusion_exposed_a_long-term_espionage foothold⠀⇛ o § Entrapment (Microsoft GitHub)⠀➾ # ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ GitHub_Actions_Has_a_Package_Manager,_and It_Might_Be_the_Worst⠀⇛ The core problem is the lack of a lockfile. Every other package manager figured this out decades ago: you declare loose constraints in a manifest, the resolver picks specific versions, and the lockfile records exactly what was chosen. GitHub Actions has no equivalent. Every run re-resolves from your workflow file, and the results can change without any modification to your code. Research from USENIX Security 2022 analyzed over 200,000 repositories and found that 99.7% execute externally developed Actions, 97% use Actions from unverified creators, and 18% run Actions with missing security updates. The researchers identified four fundamental security properties that CI/CD systems need: admittance control, execution control, code control, and access to secrets. GitHub Actions fails to provide adequate tooling for any of them. A follow-up study using static taint analysis found code injection vulnerabilities in over 4,300 workflows across 2.7 million analyzed. Nearly every GitHub Actions user is running third-party code with no verification, no lockfile, and no visibility into what that code depends on. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ 2025-12-03_[Older]_Cyberattack_on_Puerto_Rico_IT_vendor Truenorth_hits_3_agencies⠀⇛ # ⚓ Bleeping Computer ☛ 2025-12-04_[Older]_Marquis_data_breach impacts_over_74_US_banks,_credit_unions⠀⇛ # ⚓ Sky News ☛ 2025-12-06_[Older]_Ex-teen_hackers_warn_parents are_clueless_as_children_steal_‘millions’⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2025-12-07_[Older]_LockBit_5’s_“new_secure_blog_domain” infra_leaked_already⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2025-12-07_[Older]_“In_the_most_expedient_time_possible…”⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2025-12-08_[Older]_Leavenworth,_Kansas_cyberattack_disrupts city_services⠀⇛ # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ 2025-12-02_[Older]_KR:_Privacy_Commissioner’s_Office Urges_the_Public_to_Beware_of_Fraudsters_Exploiting_the Tai_Po_Fire_Disaster⠀⇛ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Regular_People_Are_Rising_Up_Against_AI Surveillance_Cameras⠀⇛ When all was said and done, the city’s council voted 5-1 in favor of rejecting any future expansion of its contract with the company.

In 1978, the American Society of Newspaper Editors, an organization for media leaders, vowed that the racial makeup of newsrooms would reflect the US population by 2000. As the deadline neared in 1998, the society moved the date to 2025, but newsrooms still haven’t met that goal. According to a 2022 Pew Research Center survey of nearly 12,000 journalists, 76% of respondents were white, 8% were Latino/Hispanic, 6% were Black and 3% were Asian. The survey showed an overrepresentation of white journalists, since nearly 58% of the population was white, about 19% were Hispanic, 12% were Black and 6% were Asian in the 2020 US census. § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ * ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-12-02_[Older]_Has_Hong_Kong_fire_triggered 'national_security'_crackdown?⠀⇛ * ⚓ CBC ☛ 2025-12-05_[Older]_Law_society_suspends_licence_of_Deepak Paradkar,_Ontario_lawyer_tied_to_alleged_drug_lord_Ryan_Wedding⠀⇛ * ⚓ CBC ☛ 2025-12-04_[Older]_Family_fired_by_Windsor,_Ont.,_housing_non- profit_sued_for_millions⠀⇛ * ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-12-04_[Older]_Germany:_Far-right_AfD_lawmakers accused_of_insulting_women⠀⇛ * ⚓ Kansas Reflector ☛ An_ever-larger_share_of_ICE’s_arrested_immigrants have_no_criminal_record⠀⇛ Immigration arrests under the Trump administration continued to increase through mid-October, reaching rates of more than 30,000 a month.

This idea goes back well before the first in-vehicle GPS systems, and although these real- world mini maps are commonplace now, they don’t have the same feel as the mini maps from retro video games.

But multiple warning signs indicate that the marketing hype surrounding these investments has vastly overrated what current AI technology can achieve, creating an AI bubble with growing societal costs that everyone will pay for regardless of when and how the bubble bursts. The history of AI development has been punctuated by boom-and-bust cycles (with the busts called AI winters) in the 1970s and 1980s. But there has never been an AI bubble like the one that began inflating around corporate and investor expectations since OpenAI released ChatGPT in November 2022. Tech companies are now spending between $72 billion and $125 billion per year each on purchasing vast arrays of AI computing chips and constructing massive data centers that can consume as much electricity as entire cities—and private investors continue to pour more money into the tech industry’s AI pursuits, sometimes at the expense of other sectors of the economy. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Dihydroxyacetone_Man_Said_It_Would_Be_Easy to_Free_Jimmy_Lai._He_Should_Prove_It.⠀⇛ The Hong Kong publisher’s fate will reveal whether democracies still have the resolve to defend their own values. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Hong_Kong_court_finds_media_tycoon_Jimmy_Lai guilty_in_national_security_trial⠀⇛ Hong Kong’s High Court on Monday convicted jailed media tycoon and pro-democracy campaigner Jimmy Lai of national security offences that could see him sentenced to v, a verdict that has intensified global scrutiny of the city’s judicial independence amid a sweeping crackdown on dissent. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Reaction_to_Hong_Kong_tycoon_Jimmy Lai's_guilty_verdict_in_national_security_trial⠀⇛ Hong Kong tycoon Jimmy Lai was found guilty on Monday of two counts of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and one count of sedition under a China-imposed national security law that could see him jailed for life. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Hong_Kong's_legal_clampdown_on_Jimmy Lai,_tycoon_and_China_critic⠀⇛ HONG KONG, Dec 15 - Hong Kong media tycoon and pro- democracy activist Jimmy Lai was found guilty on Monday in his landmark security trial on charges of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and sedition, which could mean life in prison. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Hong_Kong_court_finds_tycoon_Jimmy_Lai guilty of_sedition,_foreign_collusion_in_national_security trial⠀⇛ Lai, who has already spent five years in jail pending the outcome of his case, will be sentenced at a later date. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Jimmy_Lai’s_Life,_in_Photos_and_Video⠀⇛ He attributed his rags-to-riches ascent to the freedoms of Hong Kong, and has paid a hefty price for defending them. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Jimmy_Lai,_Hong_Kong_tycoon_and democratic_firebrand_who_stood_up_to_China⠀⇛ He was charged with collusion with foreign forces and sedition, and the verdict is expected on Dec 15. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Jimmy_Lai_Faces_Up_to_Life_in_a_Hong_Kong Jail_After_Guilty_Verdicts⠀⇛ Jimmy Lai, the publisher of a popular tabloid, was convicted of national security charges on Monday after spending decades supporting the city’s vanquished pro-democracy movement. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Hong_Kong_Court_to_Give_Verdict_on_Media Mogul_Who_Took_on_China⠀⇛ Jimmy Lai, the publisher of a popular tabloid, has spent years fighting the landmark national security case brought over his support of the city’s now vanquished pro-democracy movement. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ South_Korea_university_accused_of discrimination_for_stating_students’_nationality_in_notice⠀⇛ They stressed that they did not intend to stir negative sentiments against the school’s Chinese students. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ APNIC ☛ Policy_outcomes_from_the_Open_Policy_Meeting_at APNIC_60⠀⇛ Three proposals achieved consensus.
