Yes, I know it's not Free software (some of the software I use on it is GPL- licensed). It also lacks Wi-Fi and synchronisation projects are no longer maintained (haven't been for ages, but with some command-line pilot tools and an SD card my data can be passed to and from the PDA). Who gets to decide what's "dumb", "old", and "Luddite"? The same companies that try to sell new gadgets? And which pay all the major media to sell people stuff by causing them shame, insecurity etc. (it's a classic marketing tactic)? German news from DW says that "Automakers_see_worst_profits_since_2009", but then consider what it is they're trying to sell. As an associate put it, "new cars are surveillance machines which no one wants..." 9 days ago I spoke to someone for a few hours about renewing my licence to drive (valid until 2026). He said that policies have changed and some are no longer physical but are instead some virtual thing with a "phone" and "app". He checked online for me and said that issuance of a physical licence (card) was still doable, then spoke about passport-sized photos, length of validity (before expiry/renewal), and of course renewal costs. By the time he was finished I had already lost desire/will to bother; seeing what sorts of cars they manufacture these days - a subject I wrote about many times before - I very much doubt I'll buy a car any time soon. Buying a car in 2026 would mean buying hundreds of computers (some large, but mostly small ones) and some chassis with wheels below them. Each time a computer has some issue (either hardware or software, e.g. some bad software update) that means an expensive trip to a nearby or distant garage. You cannot fix it yourself, in some cases they've made it illegal to try to correct things, and they say it's because of "Safety". Each time is happens it's not cheap, and repair would be almost impossible a decade later (lack of spare parts or relevant knowledge). Heck, maybe my laptop's_uptime will be longer than the time a new car lasts until a computer in it breaks down. Many people feel too shy to openly admit they don't like "Smart" things; as the connotation might be, they themselves aren't smart (or not "Smart enough" to operate "Smart" things). People grew accustomed to it; like the patronising voice of people (staff of energy suppliers) who phone to foist "Smart Meters" upon us or folks over the counter who act shocked and awed [1, 2] when you tell them you don't have a "Smart" 'Phone' but do have a landline number. Or won't use a card (that you already have) but instead pay with coins and banknotes. Andy_wrote_many_good_articles_about_this_topic. In September he points_out that "if you can't make it work with a pad and pencil, some loyal and properly trained staff, and cash money, it probably isn't going to work at a more complex scale. No amount of POS tech will change that, and it may well upset your core customers in the process. Your authenticity as a businesses is based on human interpersonal connections. Sending a machine, however cute and colourful, to do a human's job is a mistake - a lesson we are already learning around "AI"." █ *

Looking at recent discussions about IBM, insiders advise colleagues to leave if they can and for others not to explore joining [1, 2, 3, 4]. IBM was once so giant that a court needed to intervene, but right now IBM is just a glorified old brand selling mediocrity and mediaocracy. It's also marketing and reselling GAFAM. The media is still telling misleading nonsense about IBM layoffs (like some fantasy about 'rehiring' thousands for "AI"). It makes no effort to actually investigate anything, it just parrots the unscrupulous CEO [1, 2]. It's miles worse than it was back in the "Boycott Novell" days. █ * Links_16/12/2025:_More_GAFAM_(Now_Amazon)_Layoffs_and_iRobot_Chapter_11 * A_Lot_of_People_Don't_Want_"Smart"_(Things_That_Spy,_Stop_Working,_Cannot be_Repaired_Easily) ⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿ ⣿⡟⠻⣿⢿⠻⠿⢿⡿⢿⠿⠻⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠹⣿⣩⠉⣭⣍⠉⣿⡉⣿⡏⣿⢫⣯⡉⣭⢩⡍⡏⢻⢩⡍⣭⠉⢩⣭⠹⢹⣏⣏⠹⣿⡏⢹⣿⢹⣿⡍⢻⣯⢹⣿ ⣿⡿⣟⠟⣿⠛⣿⡟⢷⡿⣟⢿⣿⢻⡛⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⠓⣄⠹⣿⠀⠿⢻⡇⢹⢃⢸⢻⣿⣄⠙⣿⣿⢸⣿⢳⠘⣿⡇⣿⡇⠸⠟⣷⡈⠻⣿⡄⢿⡄⢸⣏⡀⣿⣿⡄⢻⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⡖⣾⡄⢹⠀⣿⣾⣷⠈⣿⠈⣾⣿⢿⣷⠈⣿⢸⡿⣬⡄⢿⡇⣿⡇⢸⣷⠿⣿⡆⢹⣧⢠⡇⢸⢩⡅⢸⣿⣿⡄⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣼⣤⣭⣥⣿⣼⣿⣧⣿⣿⣬⣯⣼⣯⣤⣧⣿⣧⣼⣤⣽⣧⣬⣭⣤⣽⣧⣦⣽⣾⣥⣬⣼⣯⣤⣭⣿⣿⣼⣿ ⣿⣟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⡿⢿⢿⠿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢠⣤⣤⣠⣤⣤⣄⡄⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣬⣭⣭⣬⣭⣬⣥⣥⣼⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⣝⣛⣿⣟⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣯⣛⣛⣿⣛⣻⣻⣿⣏⣛⣽⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡟⡟⠿⢿⣿⢿⠿⣿⣿⡿⡿⢿⡿⢿⠛⡿⡿⢿⣿⠿⡿⢿⣿⣿⠿⣿⠿⠿⠿⢿⢻⢿⠿⣿⣿⢿⢿⣿⡿⢿⡟⣿⡻⣿⢿⢿⡿⠿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣷⣾⣾⣷⣾⣶⣿⣷⣷⣷⣶⣿⣾⣶⣶⣿⣶⣿⣾⣶⣾⣷⣿⣶⣾⣷⣷⣿⣿⣾⣶⣾⣾⣿⣾⣾⣶⣶⣷⣷⣿⣿⣾⣷⣾⣶⣷⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡏⣿⣿⠋⢻⢿⢹⢻⢟⣿⣿⡟⢿⣿⡟⢻⡿⣿⣻⡟⣿⣿⡟⠹⣿⡟⠛⡿⡟⣻⢻⣟⡟⣿⠛⣿⣻⡟⢻⢿⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣿⣶⣶⣷⣷⣾⣼⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣶⣾⣿⣷⣴⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣷⣿⣾⣾⣿⣷⣷⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡏⢹⢻⢉⣻⠛⠋⡯⢙⠟⠋⣿⡛⠛⢻⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢃⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣭⡙⢿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢰⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⡿⠿⠿⠻⣭⣭⣭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⣍⣡⣬⣭⢨⣭⣛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⠇⣼⣿⣶⣶⣮⣭⣥⣖⣉⣙⡛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⡇⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠻⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⠀⣤⣤⣬⡙⢷⡀⢤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣤⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣌⡊⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⡄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣌⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠻⠟⠛⠛⠻⢿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⡙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠁⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠹⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡶⢂⡤⠞⢋⣉⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡆⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⢿⣿⣿⡇⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣙⠿⠿⣿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠸⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⢃⣀⣾⣿⣿⡇⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣯⣭⣭⣤⣬⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣧⣶⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣭⣩⣍⠙⠯⡀⢤⣤⣤⣤⣥⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠂⠍⢹⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣦⣌⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡐⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⡯⠈⠛⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣙⣿⣿⠁⢻⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⢹⡇⠀⢰⠀⠰⢸⣿ ⣿⡇⠑⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⠁⠈⠉⢡⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀⢘⠋⠁⠉⠑⠀⢸⡇⠂⠰⠀⠵⢸⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠟⠿⠇⠹⢿⠉⠃⠹⠿⡀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⢀⢀⣁⡀⣀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣆⠀⡀⡈⡀⢀⣠⢸⡇⠀⢠⠀⣤⢸⣿ ⣿⡇⢆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡄⣸⣿⢾⣯⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠀⢰⠸⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣇⠀⢠⠀⠀⡄⢠⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⡄⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⡄⢰⡃⠀⠰⠀⠗⢸⣿ ⣿⡇⠂⠀⠀⠀⡀⢠⠀⡀⠀⢠⡀⠀⡃⡀⠸⡉⠈⢟⢏⠉⢨⡉⠉⠁⡉⠩⢍⠀⢍⠈⠉⢨⠉⢩⡁⠈⡀⡘⠀⠙⠙⢟⠀⢛⣉⢓⠀⠈⠀⠀⠁⠸⠀⢀⢀⡀⡀⢀⡄⡀⢀⣆⢀⢀⠀⠀⢀⡇⢸⡇⠀⢠⠀⣤⢸⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠤⠠⢰⠀⠄⠨⠄⠀⠄⠤⡆⠤⠀⠢⠈⠠⠨⢴⠠⠄⠐⠄⠁⠄⠥⡆⠤⠀⠢⠀⠦⠠⢴⠠⠄⠴⠄⠰⠄⠄⠄⠀⠀⢔⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⡂⠀⠀⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠘⠃⠀⠘⠀⠃⢸⣿ ⣿⡇⡀⠀⡆⠀⢸⡆⠀⠸⠂⢸⠀⠄⡇⠆⠀⠰⠀⡳⢠⠀⠰⠀⠀⡆⠸⠆⠆⠁⡇⠀⠰⠀⡅⠠⢼⢰⠀⠨⠆⢰⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠟⠃⢈⠀⠀⠐⢘⠀⠀⠀⡂⡃⠀⡃⠀⠈⣓⢘⡒⠀⠀⣚⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠁⠀⠨⠁⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠈⠠⠈⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠀⠠⠁⠈⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠆⠀⠈⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠈⠄⠀⠀⠈⢸⣿ ⣿⡇⡃⠀⡃⠀⠘⠀⠀⠐⡁⠀⠀⠀⡃⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⢀⠃⡇⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⣘⢈⠀⠐⠁⠐⠀⠀⡃⠀⠀⡏⡃⢘⠀⠀⢘⣘⠀⠀⠀⡃⠃⠀⠆⠀⠚⢙⢘⠃⠀⠀⢚⠃⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢸⣿ ⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣾⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 459 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/16/EPO_People_Power_Part_XIV_EPO_Management_Living_in_Fantasy_Land.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/16/EPO_People_Power_Part_XIV_EPO_Management_Living_in_Fantasy_Land.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ EPO People Power -

Thanks to all those who contacted_their_delegates_before_or throughout_the_meeting. It really helps. It still helps. It motivates those delegates to study the issues. About a decade ago Jesper_Kongstad got the boot because he wrongly assumed he was above the law (protected by a Danish political party) and did all sorts of rogue things, not limited to how he protected Benoît_Battistelli while Battistelli did loads of illegal things (some_came_to_light_only_after_he_had left). Right now the chief of the EPO, António_Campinos, wrongly_assumes_that_hiding his_friend_will_solve_the_issue, but it'll_only_worsen_matters by contributing to the idea that the entire top-level_management_at_the_EPO is in cahoots and is trying to hide crimes instead of tackling crimes - even_to_the_point_of threatening_staff_representatives. █ * Secret_Code_is_Undesirable * Publication_Plans_for_the_Coming_Weeks ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣤⠤⡄⠀⠀⣤⠀⠀⠀⣤⡄⢠⠀⠀⠀⣤⡄⠀⠀⢠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⠤⣤⠀⠀⢠⣤⠀⠀⠀⣤⡀⣤⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⢠⡄⠀⠀⢀⣴⢦⠀⠀⠀⣤⢠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⠀⡄⠠⡤⢠⡄⠀⢠⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⠀⠃⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⢸⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠘⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⣿⠀⠀⠸⢸⡇⡇⠀⠀⣸⣷⠀⠀⠸⣧⢸⠇⠀⠀⣿⣸⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣶⠇⠀⡇⠈⣇⠀⣼⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣼⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣸⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣶⡆⠀⠀⣸⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣷⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢻⣄⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⠀⠀⡇⠀⣿⠀⡏⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⠸⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⢹⣿⠀⠀⢸⡟⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠁⠀⠀⡿⢻⠀⠀⠀⡇⢻⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⡏⣿⠀⠀⢀⣤⢻⡆⠀⠀⢸⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⠀⠀⡇⠀⢹⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⠸⣿⠀⠀⢸⠛⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⡟⢻⡇⠀⠀⡇⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢠⡗⢿⠀⠀⠸⣿⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢹⡇⠀⡇⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠐⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠀⠀⠀⠛⠀⠛⠀⠀⠚⠑⠻⡀⠀⠚⠓⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠂⠀⠀⠐⠃⠘⠃⠀⠀⠓⠀⠛⠀⠀⠀⠘⠃⠀⠀⠘⠃⠚⠂⠀⠀⠛⠚⠁⠀⠀⢘⠗⠀⠀⠛⠀⠀⠛⠐⠓⠐⠓⠀⠐⠛⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠤⡀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠂⠀⢐⡄⠀⡖⢄⣰⠀⠀⡆⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⢰⠲⢄⢰⠀⢰⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠤⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠑⠢⢤⣀⠁⠀⠉⠀⠀⠁⠀⠉⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠈⠀⠀⠉⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⣀⡤⠔⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠓⠲⠤⣤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣤⠤⠖⠚⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 521 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/16/Google_News_Still_Has_an_LLM_Slop_Problem_With_Slop_Images_Too_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/16/Google_News_Still_Has_an_LLM_Slop_Problem_With_Slop_Images_Too_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Google News Still Has an LLM Slop Problem (With Slop Images Too), But Google Itself is a Pusher of Slop⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 16, 2025 It's not hard to understand why Google - including Google News - does not take the slop problem seriously. What started as "Bard" (later renamed "Gemini") was a disaster, but Google wants to tell lies and sell lies to shareholders. They use words like "superintelligence" when they refer to dumb (but very large) models of proximity between words (tokens) without any actual comprehension of how those words relate to one another or the meaning/s conveyed by them. Google News still has some LLM slop in it.

If Google keeps shilling and selling slop as "AI", and moreover if people keep hating slop (there's growing awareness of this problem), then at the end Google will suffer greatly. █ *

For instance, proprietary code can be shared with "partners" and thus not be secret. However, rights (or contrariwise restrictions) associated with it are defined in such a way that typically only one entity is allowed to modify it, control its distribution and so on. Secret code tends to be not only proprietary but also the worst type of proprietary. Secrets are kept due to fear the code is not secure (and seeing it would expose that), not tidy (an embarrassing mess), or possibly infringing (e.g. a GPL violation). If someone wants you to use proprietary software, say no. Secret code is even worse. You might say, is this code so bad that you just hide it? Must you hide it? Secrecy in governments and corporations is the same. Secrets are kept by people who don't wish to be publicly scrutinised; that often does - but not necessarily always - imply they're corrupt. █ *

When you see "AI" at The Register MS always bear in mind that The Register MS gets paid to say it. And to put it in perspective, The Register MS is one of many that do this.

It has not been maintained for years, so eventually we dumped it, however gradually. Exception handling when it comes to feeds is a prickly thing. In general, many feeds "out there" will be hand crafted. Some are perpetually malformed. Some are just occasionally malformed. For those of us who wrote our own RSS reading programs it means lots of debugging chores. But it pays off. One thing to do about malformed feeds is to temporarily skip them or permanently dump them. Another option is, let the site operator/s know about the malformed file/s and preferably make constructive suggestions. They might really appreciate it, even if they don't reply (that doesn't mean they're ungrateful). Now that LLM slop is becoming_scarce_enough that we very seldom find any in our RSS feeds the main obstacle is feeds that are properly formed. I have had issues with some (at least two) this week. RSS readers are an excellent way to keep on top of news online. Social Control Media curated by oligarch is the worst one can get. Let's invest in RSS readers and recommend to others that they at least give it a try. █ * Publication_Plans_for_the_Coming_Weeks * Paying_the_Price_for_IBM's_Leadership_Buying_Worthless_Companies_With Capital_It_Doesn't_Have ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢋⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣭⣭⣉⣉⣉⡛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣡⡟⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣦⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⣼⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⡟⣱⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢋⡾⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⢋⣼⣿⣿⠟⠉⠉⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢃⣾⣁⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡾⢡⣾⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣠⡞⣡⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠶⠤⠤⣬⣽⣟⣉⣛⣛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⣰⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠛⢻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡽⠟⠁⣰⣿⣿⣿⣤⣬⣄⣀⣠⣿⡋⠩⠉⠉⠉⢻⣿⠟⠓⡖⠶⠶⢶⢄⣼⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣐⣀⡀⠀⣹⡿⠛⢿⠛⠛⠛⣾⣿⠿⠶⠦⠤⣤⣄⢀⣾⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠟⠁⢀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⡏⠉⠋⠉⠙⣻⡿⠿⢶⠶⠶⢶⣶⣿⣧⣬⣅⣈⣀⣰⢩⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣿⡿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢁⣠⠖⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⠟⢛⠛⠛⠶⣾⣿⣷⣬⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿⣁⣂⡂⠊⠉⡽⣳⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⣠⣶⣿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡿⠁⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⠷⠶⢤⣤⣤⣼⣾⣁⣂⣃⡀⢀⣽⡟⠉⠉⠉⠙⢛⣿⣱⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠒⢲⠶⠞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⠿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣇⠾⠿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⡾⣽⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠓⡲⠶⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣾⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⣠⣆⢀⣮⣽⣓⣒⡶⣾⣇⣄⣀⡀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⡟⠀⠙⢿ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣽⣿⡟⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣷⣿⣽⣿⣯⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⢇⠀⠀⢸ ⡄⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣭⣭⣽⣛⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣠⣶⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⣸ ⣷⣶⣀⣀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣙⡛⠻⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣄⣴⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⢛⣫⣿⣿⣟⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⠀⢀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⠿⢿⣶⣦⣤⣬⣉⣛⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣇⠸⣿⣿⣿⢾⢷⡈⢻⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣷⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠻⠿⢿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⣄⣼⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⣀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣯⣻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣉⠉⠉⠛⠛⣛⣛⣉⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡘⢿⣍⢾⣿⣿⣿⡷ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡌⢻⣦⣛⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1677 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/16/With_Half_of_December_Over_FSF_Two_Thirds_of_the_Way_Towards_Fu.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/16/With_Half_of_December_Over_FSF_Two_Thirds_of_the_Way_Towards_Fu.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ With Half of December Over, FSF Two-Thirds of the Way Towards Funding Goal⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 16, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Flock_of_birds,_Background⦈_ Still raising_money and still seems increasingly likely to get there.

It had adopted a bird motif for this important anniversary and despite efforts to 'scandalise' it (by defaming key members) the FSF managed to keep its composure, keep all the important staff, and even re-add Oliva_(the_free-as-in-freedom_Linux_guy)_to its_Board. If you can share some money this month, the FSF should be a priority. The EFF works for GAFAM (it also gets funded by GAFAM), Wikipedia works for Microsoft and for Bill Epsteingate (follow the money; they openly admit this!), and all sorts of other pseudo-NGOs aren't what they seem. The thing which calls_itself "FSFE"_(an_impersonation) is working_for_billionaires, including Epsteingate's Microsoft.

This is not a game of predictions, but a goal setting exercise - a list of things we might like to do, that we can post on the fridge and keep tabs on. # ⚓ SOMETHING_NEW_IN_THE_CUPBOARD⠀⇛ There's a phlog post I've been failing to finish for weeks, and while writing it I was reminded of the collection of Electronics Today International (ETI) circuit book scans that I assembled about a decade ago. ETI was an electronics magazine which, in spite of the name, seems to have been mainly an Australian pulication. Alongside Electronics Australia it was popular in the 1970s and 1980s, when they got into the habit of publishing circuit/ project books compiling past articles and submissions. I've built some of the circuits, and it's also quite thought inspiring just to read through. I do however have a habit of forgetting about these books and instead finding half-baked electronics projects on the internet for which better alternatives are already in them on my shelf. Years ago I had the idea that I should scan the contents pages and most interesting articles, so I could look at them from the computer as easily as websites. So about a decade ago I obsessively scanned in a whole lot of them, and... completely forgot I'd even done so. Yeah it didn't work at all, and indeed I see now there are again some projects I scanned which would be good alternatives for projects I've since copied from sketchier online designs. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Pocket-sized_PDP-11_once_more⠀⇛ I was searching for something. As always, I have found many other things. In past months I returnerd a few of my Sharp Zauri to (well, very infrequent) use. Now, I unearthed my Elektronika MK-85 [1] collection. You many know than USSR used the CPUs compatible with the PDP-11 rather extensively. So much that use of a PDP-11 type CPU was obvious choice when designers were tasked with task of making a functional copy of the Casio FX-770P pocket computer[2]. Or programmable calculator. While the Casio used an 8-bit CPU the Soviet lookalike used the 16-bit CPU. There was little speed or memory size advantage at the time but the CPU was widely available an reasonably cheap so it was used (these Soviet CPUs are not clones but they use most of the PDP-11 instruction set - they are NOT fully compatible with any DEC PDP-11 CPU). Actually making a device which copies look and behaviour (up to almost identical BASIC) of something that actually works was a smart decision. The users of nominally more powerful MK-90 will know (it uses rather unoptimised copy of PDP-11 BASIC from 1970 as it only environment and it is not only slow but painful to program on). # ⚓ This_Handheld_Wi-FI_Signal_Strength_Meter_Packs_a_Servo_to Drive_a_Physical_Dial_Gauge⠀⇛ Pseudonymous maker "CrazyScience" has built a Wi-Fi signal strength guide with a difference: it moves a physical dial on a gauge to let you know when you're straying from an access point's sweet spot. "I have always been using many [smartphone] applications to check my Wi-Fi speed, the process is time consuming and it's not that accurate(in terms of real time)," CrazyScience explains of the need for a dedicated tool. "So I wanted [a way] to visualize the Wi-Fi that [works] in real time! I'm not sure if the spirit boxes work (like you see in movies). But my Wi-Fi meter will definitely work!" # ⚓ A_full-time_job_for_an_i586_in_2025?⠀⇛ For years, I've been running an old PC Engines ALIX.2 router as a machine dedicated to backups. Every day at 5 AM, it would quietly connect to my server via SSH, back up /var/www/html, /var/lib/ mysql, and /var/gopher, and then go quiet for the rest of the day. When I decommissioned my physical server and moved to virtualization, the provider took over the backups, and for a moment it looked like the ALIX.2 would have nothing left to do. But I wasn't ready to let that happen, because it's the last i586 machine I run 24/7. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ generating_less_(and_other_changes)⠀⇛ ah yes, gemini, the place i go to talk about gemini :3 in the past i've had scripts and generators, but honestly, i don't think i want to have an atom feed after discover the gemini companion file format. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Illustrator Tom Jung’s acrylic and airbrush half-sheet depicts Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and other characters against a starry backdrop. It ran on billboards, magazine pages and subway walls weeks before the 1977 premiere of Star Wars: Episode IV—A New Hope. o ⚓ Christoffer Artmann ☛ 30_Years_of Tags⠀⇛ Let's go back to when the web felt like a frontier. The late 90s were a magical time — the [Internet] existed, but nobody really knew what it was going to become. And honestly? That was part of the charm. My first website lived on a Unix server my dad set up at his office. He gave me a folder on artmann.se, and suddenly I had a place on the [Internet]. My own little corner of this new world. All I needed was Notepad, some HTML, and an FTP client to upload my files. It was a creative outlet — I could write and publish anything I was interested in that week, whether that was cooking, dinosaurs, or a funny song I'd heard. No gatekeepers, no approval process. Just me and a text editor. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ 2025-12-10_[Older]_The_science_of_human touch_–_and_why_it’s_so_hard_to_replicate_in_robots⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ 2025-12-10_[Older]_The_race_to_mine_the Moon_is_on_–_and_it_urgently_needs_some_clear_international rules⠀⇛ # ⚓ Kyle Kingsbury ☛ The_Future_of_Radiation_Safety_is_Lies,_I Guess⠀⇛ First, uranium glass emits gamma rays too, not just alpha and beta particles. More importantly, these numbers are hot nonsense. First, the Sievert is a measure of dose, not source intensity; saying a piece emits 10 µSv/hour is like saying a heat lamp emits five degrees of warming per minute. It depends on how close you are to the lamp, how much of you is facing it, whether you’re shielded by clothing, and so on. The dose from a uranium glass cup depends on whether you’re chipping off bits and eating them, cuddling it every night, or keeping it in a display case. # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Visualise_and_Analyse_Bathymetric_Survey_Data_with R⠀⇛ The first step in the value chain for water utilities is extracting water from natural sources, such as rivers, groundwater, oceans, or reservoirs. Water managers and the public alike are interested in knowing how much water a reservoir currently holds. This is not an easy problem to solve, as it requires some analysis to move from survey to volume measurement. This article shows how to visualise and analyse bathymetric survey data using the R language and data from the Prettyboy Reservoir in Maryland, USA. # ⚓ Maury ☛ A_sea_of_sparks:_Seeing_atoms_decay⠀⇛ For my alpha source, I used a 37 kBq amerercium source from a smoke detector (glued to a stick for easier handling). Other options are old radium paint or pieces of uranium ore with surface mineralization. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ 2025-12-10_[Older]_Farmers_and supermarkets_worry_that_extreme_weather_will_stop_food getting_to_consumers_– here’s_what_needs_to_change⠀⇛ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Psilocybin_Breaks_Depressive_Cycles_by Rewiring_The_Brain,_Study_Suggests⠀⇛ Scientists have used a specially engineered virus to help track the brain changes caused by psilocybin in mice, revealing how the drug could be breaking loops of depressive thinking. This may explain why psilocybin keeps showing positive results for people with depression in clinical trials. # ⚓ Jim Mitchell ☛ Old_Habits⠀⇛ Old habits are sneaky little monkeys. They work every angle they know to quietly slip back into the circus of our lives without us noticing. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ GeekWire ☛ Filing:_Amazon_cuts_84_jobs_in_Washington_state, unrelated_to_broader_layoffs⠀⇛ Amazon filed a new notice with Washington state Monday morning signaling that it’s cutting 84 jobs, but the individual separations are part of the regular course of business, unrelated to the 14,000 corporate layoffs it announced globally in October. The company said each of its businesses regularly reviews its organizational structure and may make adjustments as a result. It’s a routine process, the company said, not tied to broader workforce actions. The notice stems from a new state law that requires employers to disclose all terminations occurring within 90 days of a prior notice under the state’s new “mini” version of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, known as the WARN Act. # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ 2025-12-10_[Older]_A_Sober_Look_at Amazon’s_Automation_Drive⠀⇛ # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ What_happens_to_Roombas_now_that_the company_has_declared_bankruptcy?⠀⇛ • Vacuum robot maker IRobot filed for bankruptcy and will be acquired by Chinese supplier Picea Robotics, ending its independent operations. • Roomba users fear “bricking” — the risk that their smart vacuums will stop working without software updates after the Chinese acquisition takes effect. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Roomba_maker_iRobot_gets_cleaned_out_in Chapter_11⠀⇛ The business entered Chapter 11 proceedings on Sunday and initiated a restructuring support agreement (RSA) that would see Shenzhen-based Picea Robotics acquire the company in full. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Amazon_security_boss_blames_Russia's_GRU for_energy_hacks⠀⇛ Russia's Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) is behind a years-long campaign targeting energy, telecommunications, and tech providers, stealing credentials and compromising misconfigured devices hosted on AWS to give the Kremlin's snoops persistent access to sensitive networks, according to Amazon's security boss. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Apple_blocks_dev_after_failed_gift_card redemption⠀⇛ This isn't just any developer, either: The unlucky Apple aficionado in this case is Dr. Paris Buttfield-Addison, a Tasmania-based computer scientist who co-founded an award-winning game development company and has written multiple books on developing for Objective-C, the Swift programming language, and iOS. # ⚓ Nick Heer ☛ Locked_Out_of_an_Apple_Account⠀⇛ What I am stunned by is the breadth of impact this lockout has, and what a similar problem would mean for me, personally. I do not blame Buttfield- Addison or anyone else for having so much of their digital life ensconced in an Apple Account. Apple has effectively made it a requirement for using the features of its devices and, thanks to Apple’s policy of only trusting itself, creates limitations to using third-party services. You cannot automatically back up an iPhone or iPad to a third- party service, for example, in the same way as you can iCloud. Given this tight control, the bar for locking a user out of their Apple Account and, to some extent, out of their devices should be unbelievably high. Like, it should require the equivalent of a court order internally. # § Artificial Intelligence (AI) / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ Man_says_wife_wants_divorce after_he_drained_savings_falling_for_AI_scam⠀⇛ Scammers allegedly used an AI-generated deepfake video of Musk to convince Hendricks he had won a car and a cash prize, and later to build trust. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Grok_Is_Making_Wildly_Contradictory_Claims About_Rob_Reiner's_Death⠀⇛ Grok is giving some wildly contradictory takes on the tragic deaths of the legendary film director and actor Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, in what’s the latest example of AI models bungling breaking news stories. # ⚓ Michigan Advance ☛ States_will_keep_pushing_AI_laws despite_Trump’s_efforts_to_stop_them⠀⇛ But despite those moves, state lawmakers are continuing to prefile legislation related to artificial intelligence in preparation for their 2026 legislative sessions. Opponents are also skeptical about — and likely to sue over — Trump’s proposed national framework and his ability to restrict states from passing legislation. # ⚓ Robert Reich ☛ Again:_Beware_These_Two_Oligarchic Bubbles⠀⇛ AI is worrisome enough as is — its insatiable thirst for energy and water, its capacities to override the wishes of human beings, its potential to destroy the planet. The immediate concern is that AI is becoming a financial bubble whose bursting will harm lots of innocent people including, perhaps, you. Anyone remember the dot-com bubble of the late 1990s? The housing bubble of 2006? The tulip-mania bubble of the 1630s? The South Sea bubble of 1720? They all followed a well-worn pattern. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ The_Washington_Post_Deployed_Its Disastrous_AI-Generated_Podcasts_Even_After_Internal Tests_Showed_It_Was_Failing_Miserably⠀⇛ Just as expected, the service — dubbed “Your Personal Podcast” — turned out to be an error-laden disaster right from the jump. As Semafor reported on Friday, many staffers at the embattled newspaper were outraged at the AI inventing and misattributing quotes and misinterpreting basic facts, just some of the extremely well-known and documented shortcomings of large language models. # ⚓ Simon Willison ☛ 2025_Word_of_the_Year:_Slop⠀⇛ 2025 Word of the Year: Slop. Slop lost to "brain rot" for Oxford Word of the Year 2024 but it's finally made it this year thanks to Merriam-Webster! # ⚓ Merriam-Webster ☛ Word_of_the_Year_2025_|_Slop_| Merriam-Webster⠀⇛ Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen slop as the 2025 Word of the Year. We define slop as “digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence.” All that stuff dumped on our screens, captured in just four letters: the English language came through again. # ⚓ [Repeat] Jim Nielsen ☛ It’s_Uncomfortable_To_Sit_With “I_Don’t_Know”⠀⇛ Kind of feels like this boils down to: How do we know what we know? To be fair, that’s a question I’ve wrestled with my whole life. And the older I get, the more and more I realize how often we barely know anything. # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ 2025:_The_Year_AI_Crossed_the_Line⠀⇛ This May, the Catholic Church welcomed a new pope. Somewhat surprisingly, the cardinal electors chose an American-born candidate as their new leader. But perhaps more surprising was how often this pontiff, who took the name Leo XIV, would go on to raise the alarm over artificial intelligence again and again in his first year as a globally recognized figure. “How can we ensure that the development of artificial intelligence truly serves the common good, and is not just used to accumulate wealth and power in the hands of a few?” Pope Leo XIV asked an audience of academics and industry professionals in a speech at the Vatican on Dec. 5. “Artificial intelligence has certainly opened up new horizons for creativity, but it also raises serious concerns about its possible repercussions on humanity’s openness to truth and beauty, and capacity for wonder and contemplation.” # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ 2025-12-09_[Older]_Rage_bait:_the psychology_behind_social_media’s_angriest_posts⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ 2025-12-09_[Older]_Online_sharing can_push_us_apart_–_but_when_it’s_authentic_it_can bring_us_together⠀⇛ # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ Violent_online_groups_like_764 are_threatening_teen_lives._Here's_how_to_protect_your kid⠀⇛ Teens across America are being recruited, groomed and extorted by network of online predators known as 764 that specializes in coercing minors to perform sexual acts and self-harm on camera and, in some cases, encourages teens to kill themselves. # ⚓ BoingBoing ☛ Social_media_posts_may_stop_you_from visiting_the_United_States⠀⇛ Despite travel warnings from your government, are you thinking about visiting the United States? Can you remember posting anything on Facebook, Xitter, or Bluesky about Trump's love for creating trauma in young people, the notion that white isn't the only skin color that allows for respect from government officials, or a desire to have sex with a bald eagle? If you answered yeah, to any of these questions, there's a very good chance that you should stay at home. Being allowed into America is about to become much more invasive and difficult in the near future. # ⚓ Dhole Moments ☛ Announcing_Key_Transparency_for_the Fediverse⠀⇛ I’m pleased to announce the immediate availability of a reference implementation for the Public Key Directory server. This software implements the Key Transparency specification I’ve been working on since last year, and is an important stepping stone towards secure end-to-end encryption for the Fediverse. # ⚓ BoingBoing ☛ Meta_knew_Chinese_ads_were_scams,_kept money⠀⇛ According to Reuters, Meta's Chinese ad revenue more than doubled between 2022 and 2024, from $7.4 billion to $18.4 billion. By last year, nearly one in five of those dollars came from banned content. An anti- fraud team managed to cut the rate of problematic ads for a while, but after Zuckerberg intervened, the group was dissolved. Fraud rates promptly climbed back to 16% of China revenue by mid-2025. China is so central to Meta's scam problem that the company tracks Chinese national holidays to predict global fraud levels — when hundreds of millions of Chinese citizens travel during Golden Week, scam rates drop worldwide. An outside consultancy found Meta's enforcement "inconsistent" compared to competitors, noting that even TikTok maintains stricter standards. # § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ iTWire_-_Why_Qilin’s_Rise_Is_a_Wake-Up_Call for_Australia’s_Financial_Sector⠀⇛ Whilst it’s been around since 2022, Qilin has evolved into a sophisticated ransomware-as-a- service (RaaS) operation that has amassed more than US$50 million in ransom payments in 2024 alone and is now ranked as the most prevalent ransomware in public threat intelligence reports for 2025. o § Security⠀➾ # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ James Stanley ☛ James_Stanley_-_Anticloaking⠀⇛ Specifically, I'm looking at anticloaking. "Cloaking" is when a phishing site takes steps to hide itself from the Internet security companies. They can block specific IP addresses, block based on geolocation, or potentially do more complex things based on browser User-Agent strings, and so on. A human user might click a link to a phishing site and see their bank's login page, while a bot gets a harmless 404 page. Anticloaking is the defence against cloaking. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ The_UK_Has_It_Wrong_On_Digital_ID._Here’s Why.⠀⇛ This is the latest example of a government creating a new digital system that is fundamentally incompatible with a privacy- protecting and human rights-defending democracy. This past year alone, we’ve seen federal agencies across the United States explore digital IDs to prevent fraud, the Transportation Security Administration accepting “Digital passport IDs” in Android, and states contracting with mobile driver’s license providers (mDL). And as we’ve said many times, digital ID is not for everyone and policymakers should ensure better access for people with or without a digital ID. But instead, the UK is pushing forward with its plans to rollout digital ID in the country. Here’s three reasons why those policymakers have it wrong. # ⚓ India Times ☛ User's_consent_mandatory_for_WhatsApp for_collection_of_advertising_&_non-advertising_data: NCLAT⠀⇛ Appellate tribunal NCLAT on Monday clarified that its order in the WhatsApp matter on privacy and consent safeguards also applies to user data collection and sharing for non- WhatsApp purposes, including non-advertising and advertising. Passing an order over an application moved by CCI seeking clarification over the previous order passed by NCLAT, the appellate tribunal said, "Appellant (WhatsApp and Meta) cannot assert unilateral or open-ended rights over user data. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Literal_Enshittification:_‘Smart’_Toilets Play_Fast_And_Loose_With_Your_Pooping_Data⠀⇛ Companies, like Kohler does here, will often try to dodge responsibility for bad choices by also insisting this data is “anonymized,” but that’s always been a gibberish term. Here in the States, it’s the inevitable enshittified outcome of our corrupt inability to pass even basic internet privacy protections, or implement meaningful corporate oversight. So this sort of shitty behavior will only get worse from here. # ⚓ Jamie Zawinski ☛ Roomba_doom⠀⇛ Let's have a slow clap for the corporate tools who still have to show up at work and try to spin their bankruptcy fire-sale as Line Goes Up: [...] o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ The Barents Observer ☛ 'Russia_uses_hybrid_threats_on Svalbard'⠀⇛ Norway gained full and absolute sovereignty over Svalbard in 1925 when the Svalbard Treaty was ratified. In 2025, Norway celebrated the 100-year- anniversary of the agreement. According to professor Bones, Moscow has conducted numerous hybrid operations and provocations on Svalbard. He argues that the arctic archipelago is part of a broader Russian information campaign that is aimed at testing Western cohesion and the sanctions regime. Among the approaches actively applied by Moscow is so-called 'bilateralization.' "It's not unusual that great powers that have smaller neighbouring countries in their vicinity, that they want to try and dominate or influence them. One aspect and one way of doing that is to try and tie up the smaller country in bilateral discussions on certain issues, not allowing them room for maneuver, but try and lock them in in a political process. I think that is what the Soviet Union and Russia also have been trying to do with regards to Norway and Norway-Svalbard politics, but has not really been successful in much of that." Read the full transcript below # ⚓ The Barents Observer ☛ After_three_decades_of_bridge- building_comes_a_plan_for_detonation⠀⇛ Norway bet on a democratic development in Russia and invested heavily in building bridges - both literally and in a political and human sense, with neighbouring Russian regions. It failed. The government in Oslo is now preparing a plan for blowing up bridges in case of a Russian attack. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Bondi_Beach_attack_seems_driven_by 'Islamic_State_ideology'⠀⇛ Two IS flags were found in the shooter's car at Bondi Beach, according to ABC. # ⚓ The Age AU ☛ Bondi_shooter_Naveed_Akram’s_Islamic_State,_Al Madina_Dawah_centre_links_revealed⠀⇛ Multiple sources briefed on the investigation into the massacre confirmed Naveed first came to the attention of authorities around the time a cell of IS acolytes was discovered in Sydney’s west. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Indiana’s_Gerrymander_Victory_Won’t_Save_Us⠀⇛ No one should feel reassured at the likelihood that John Roberts can award the GOP a near-unbreakable grip on the House simply by doing two of his favorite things: rendering the Voting Rights Act unworkable and declaring that the way to end racial discrimination is to stop discrimination against white people. Nevertheless, let’s be allowed a brief Mr. Smith moment. Authoritarianism thrives amid cowardice and fear. It relies on the bended knee from those who know better, whether members of Congress, the boards of Ivy League universities, partners at Paul, Weiss and Kirkland & Ellis, or the trembling overlords of CBS and ABC. # ⚓ Sightline Media Group ☛ He_went_from_mowing_FDR’s_lawn_to the_Battle_of_the_Bulge⠀⇛ I was overseas a year and a half. When the war was over, Gen. George S. Patton wanted a headquarters in Heidelberg, Germany; I was in his headquarters in late 1945 when he got killed. I came back home, exactly to the day, two years from the time I was inducted. I hadn’t realized it, but they were holding a rural letter carrier job for me at the Staatsburg post office. I got home, I think, on a Friday. And Monday morning I went to work at the post office. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Republicans_Call_for_Muslim_Americans_to_Be Deported_After_Australia_Shooting⠀⇛ “The mass migration of Islamic extremists destroyed Europe.

Naveed Akram, 24, came to the attention of Australia’s spy agency in 2019 over concerns that he had been radicalised [sic] by an IS leader. However, after a six-month investigation by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO), he was not deemed an “imminent threat” to the public. # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2025-12-12_[Older]_The_global_shadow_economy_behind Cheeto_Mussolini’s_latest_move_on_Venezuela⠀⇛ #

OpenAI’s early releases around 2020 set the stage for a mania around large language models, and the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 granted Altman a world stage on which to present his new thesis: that these models mirror human intelligence and could swing the doors open to a healthier and wealthier techno-utopia. # ⚓ Wired ☛ OpenAI’s_Chief_Communications_Officer_Is_Leaving the_Company⠀⇛ OpenAI’s chief communications officer, Hannah Wong, announced internally on Monday that she is leaving the company in January, WIRED has learned.

Admittedly, that was worse than the new one. It said anyone using the phrases “Muslim grooming gangs” and “Asian grooming gangs” was an “Islamophobe”. According to Baroness Casey’s 2025 report on group-based child sexual exploitation and abuse, it was “fear of appearing racist” that made some people reluctant to speak out about the grooming gangs. But just because the new definition isn’t as bad as the old one doesn’t mean it won’t have a chilling effect on free speech. It includes “prejudicial stereotyping” as a form of anti-Muslim hatred, and that could inhibit a social worker or school teacher in a Muslim area from drawing attention to child sexual exploitation, not to mention female genital mutilation or forced marriages. # ⚓ [Old] Steve Jackson Games ☛ Mike_Godwin's_Anti-Censorship Speech_at_CMU⠀⇛ My name is Mike Godwin, and I'm a lawyer with the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

US Secret Service. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ Donald_Trump_sues_BBC_for_up_to_$10bn over_edit_of_January_6_speech⠀⇛ In a complaint filed on Monday evening, Trump sought $5bn in damages each on two counts: alleging that the BBC defamed him, and that violated Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. # ⚓ The Barents Observer ☛ Barents_Observer_journalist_Olesia Krivtsova_to_be_tried_under_'foreign_agent'_article⠀⇛ According to documents published on the website of the Korochansky District Court, Krivtsova is to be tried for ‘acting as a foreign agent without being included in the register of foreign agents.’ In other words, the charges are retrospective; the journalist's offence is that she did not report herself as a foreign agent. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Trump_sues_BBC_over_edited_US_Capitol_speech, seeks_$5_billion_in_damages_-_France_24⠀⇛ The documentary drew scrutiny after the leak of a BBC memo by an external standards adviser that raised concerns about how it was edited, part of a wider investigation of political bias at the publicly funded broadcaster. # ⚓ NDTV ☛ Trump_Says_He_Will_File_Lawsuit_Against_BBC_Today⠀⇛ A firestorm erupted over the edited clip in early November, leading the BBC director-general and the organization's top news executive to resign. # ⚓ Variety ☛ Trump_Sues_BBC_Over_Edited_Jan._6_Documentary, Seeking_$10B_in_Damages⠀⇛ The lawsuit was filed Monday by Trump’s lawyers in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida in Miami, alleging defamation and violation of Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. Trump’s lawsuit demands no less than $5 billion in damages for each of the two counts, amounting to more than $10 billion total. # ⚓ CPJ ☛ Belarusian_journalist_Maryna_Zolatava_released_after serving_over_4_years_in_prison⠀⇛ “We are relieved that journalist Maryna Zolatava is finally free, but she shouldn’t have spent a second in jail,” said CPJ Europe and Central Asia Senior Researcher Anna Brakha. “At least 24 journalists remain imprisoned in Belarus for doing nothing but their job. Authorities must immediately release them all.” # ⚓ Paul Krugman ☛ MAGA,_the_Broligarchs_and_the_Media⠀⇛ First, there’s an antitrust issue. In an earlier era, when the U.S. government took monopoly power seriously, both proposed acquisitions would probably have been blocked by regulators. Second, there’s a financial issue. On its own, there is no way that Paramount, which is deeply in debt and whose credit rating is “a notch below ‘junk’” could afford to buy Warner. It’s able to make a semi-credible bid only because of assurances of support from Larry Ellison, one of the world’s richest men thanks to his stake in the software giant Oracle. But when analysts look closely at the details, they find that Ellison’s promises of support are more than a bit squirrely: [...] o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Arkansas Advocate ☛ Justice_Dept._action_leaves_Feds without_key_tool_to_prove_bias_in_schools⠀⇛ The provision stems from Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination in education, housing, health care and transportation. Historically, federal agencies used the law to warn districts that they could lose federal funds if they didn’t comply with orders to desegregate schools. Under the Department of Justice rule, officials could use data to determine whether discrimination exists. # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ America_Can’t_Build_Homes_Anymore⠀⇛ Cities stopped building not by accident but by design. Our housing system is constructed on scarcity, speculation, and private veto power. # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ Woman_Who_Helped_Coerce_Victims_into GirlsDoPorn_Sex_Trafficking_Ring_Sentenced_to_Prison⠀⇛ US Attorney Alexandra Foster read impact statements from victims, according to the report. “Valorie Moser was the one who picked me up and drove me to the hotel where I was trafficked,” an anonymous victim wrote, as read by Foster. “Her role was to make me feel more comfortable because women trust other women. She reassured me on the way to the hotel that everything would be OK... She wasn’t just a bookkeeper, she was a willing participant. She deserves to be sentenced to jail.” # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Pluralistic:_Break_up_bad_companies;_replace bad_union_bosses⠀⇛ Unions are not perfect. Indeed, it is possible to belong to a union that is bad for workers: either because it is weak, or corrupt, or captured (or some combination of the three). Take the "two-tier contract." As unions lost ground – thanks to changes in labor law enforcement under a succession of both Republican and Democratic administrations – labor bosses hit on a suicidal strategy for contract negotiations. Rather than bargaining for a single contract that covered all the union's dues-paying members, these bosses negotiated contracts that guaranteed benefits for existing members, but did not extend these benefits to new members: [...] o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ The Local DK ☛ Denmark_drops_plan_to_restrict_use_of_VPNs⠀⇛ The text of a recent government bill said it would ban the use of VPNs in Denmark “to access media content which would otherwise not be available in Denmark, or to circumvent blocks on illegal websites.” # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Cloudflare_report_shows_mobile,_bot traffic_growing⠀⇛ In its 2025 Year in Review, Cloudflare notes that [Internet] traffic worldwide grew by almost a fifth, with the increases coming in fits and starts. In fact, traffic was somewhat flat through mid-April and even experienced a mysterious dip before bouncing back sharply to 5 percent growth during May. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Publishers Weekly ☛ Last_Call_for_Mass_Market_Paperbacks⠀⇛ The decision made this winter by ReaderLink to stop distributing mass market paperback books at the end of 2025 was the latest blow to a format that has seen its popularity decline for years. According to Circana BookScan, mass market unit sales plunged from 131 million in 2004 to 21 million in 2024, a drop of about 84%, and sales this year through October were about 15 million units. But for many years, the mass market paperback was “the most popular reading format,” notes Stuart Applebaum, former Penguin Random House EVP of corporate communications. Applebaum was also once a publicist at Bantam Books, one of the publishers credited with turning mass market paperbacks into what he calls “a well-respected format.” # ⚓ Pete Brown ☛ So_long,_mass_market_paperbacks…⠀⇛ So I guess I have mixed feelings about the news that they are going away. Then again, I tend to have mixed feelings about most things. § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o § Patents⠀➾ # § Software Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Hollywood_Warns:_‘Extortionary’_Codec Patent_Fees_Could_Hike_Streaming_Subscription_Prices⠀⇛ For decades, the Motion Picture Association (MPA) has been Hollywood's main protector of intellectual property rights, especially when it relates to piracy. In a recent federal lawsuit, however, the roles are reversed. Siding with Disney, the MPA calls out alleged IP abuse and "extortionary" patent demands linked to the H.264 and H.265 codecs, which they fear might inflate subscription fees of streaming services. o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Major_publishers_back_universal_AI licensing_technology⠀⇛ The technology has been endorsed by some 1,500 media organisations around the world including People Inc, Yahoo! and Associated Press. Based on the widely adopted RSS (Really Simple Syndication) standard, RSL 1.0 augments the simple yes/no blocking rules of robots.txt with what it calls “a universal language for content rights and licensing terms, offering a scalable economic foundation for the AI-first [Internet]”. # ⚓ Creative Commons ☛ CC_Signals:_What_We've_Been_Working_On⠀⇛ As we look back on 2025, it’s clear that the internet as we know it is changing. Technology- enabled access to knowledge should be flourishing. Instead, information is being removed from the web or locked away in walled gardens. We are experiencing a crisis in the commons, driven in part by current AI development practices. New systems are emerging in response—from content monetization schemes and licensing agreements designed to protect large rightsholders, to the ongoing morass of lawsuits about how AI services are using content as data. We are in the midst of a major reconfiguration of how we share and reuse content on the web. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Denmark_takes_a_Viking_swing_at_VPN- enabled_piracy⠀⇛ Proposed amendments to the country's laws on copyright and broadcasting would see VPNs limited for common uses under changes to combat access to illegal streaming services. * Over_at_Tux_Machines... * Claim_That_Finance_and_HR_at_IBM_Already_Work_on_the_Next_Wave_of_IBM Layoffs,_Media_Silence_Persists ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3773 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Links 16/12/2025: Security and Conflict (No Territorial Concessions in Ukraine)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 16, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Snail_and_dandelion_in_color⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Leftovers o Proprietary # Artificial_Intelligence_(AI)_/_LLM_Slop_/_Plagiarism o Security o Defence/Aggression # Russia,_Belarus,_and_War_in_Ukraine o Monopolies/Monopsonies * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Proprietary⠀➾ # § Artificial Intelligence (AI) / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Gunnar Wolf ☛ Gunnar_Wolf:_Unique_security_and privacy_threats_of_large_language_models_—_a comprehensive_survey⠀⇛ o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Wladimir Palant ☛ Unpacking_VStarcam_firmware_for_fun_and profit⠀⇛ One important player in the PPPP_protocol_business is VStarcam. At the very least they’ve already accumulated an impressive portfolio of security issues. Like exposing_system_configuration including_access_password_unprotected_in_the_Web_UI (discovered by multiple people independently from the look of it). Or the open_telnet_port_accepting hardcoded_credentials (definitely discovered by lots of people independently). In fact, these cameras have been seen_used_as_part_of_a_botnet, likely thanks to some documented vulnerabilities in their user interface. Is that a thing of the past? Are there updates fixing these issues? Which devices can be updated? These questions are surprisingly hard to answer. I found zero information on VStarcam firmware versions, available updates or security fixes. In fact, it doesn’t look like they ever even acknowledged learning about the existence of these vulnerabilities. No way around downloading these firmware updates and having a look for myself. With surprising results. First of all: there are lots of firmware updates. It seems that VStarcam accumulated a huge number of firmware branches. And even though not all of them even have an active or downloadable update, the number of currently available updates goes into hundreds. And the other aspect: the variety of update formats is staggering, and often enough standard tools like binwalk aren’t too useful. It took some time figuring out how to unpack some of the more obscure variants, so I’m documenting it all here. Warning: Lots of quick-and-dirty Python code ahead. Minimal error checking, use at your own risk! # § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Bitdefender ☛ Man_jailed_for_teaching_criminals_how to_use_malware⠀⇛ But the news this week is that a court in Singapore has jailed a man not for launching an attack himself, but instead for teaching others exactly how to do it. As local media reports, a 49-year-old man has received a five-and-a-half year jail sentence, and fined S$3,608 (US $2,700), after admitting to creating detailed video tutorials that showed members of a criminal gang how to infect Android phones with spyware and drain their bank accounts. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ In_return_for_Trump_lifting_sanctions, Belarus_freed_123_political_prisoners_—_then_expelled most_to_Ukraine_without_passports_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Braže:_Latvia_will_never_recognize_occupied Ukraine_as_part_of_Russia⠀⇛ Latvia's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Baiba Braže, made an unequivocal statement on December 15th saying that Latvia would never recognize the areas of Ukraine currently under Russian occupation as Russian territory. # ⚓ Rlang ☛ R_Package_Development_in_Positron_workshop⠀⇛ Join our workshop on R Package Development in Positron, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series!  # ⚓ European Commission ☛ Statement_by_President_von_der Leyen_following_the_meeting_on_peace_for_Ukraine convened_by_German_Chancellor_Merz⠀⇛ European Commission Statement Berlin, 15 Dec 2025 It was a good meeting in Berlin tonight.
