Microsoft knows there's no route towards recovery and it already tries to market the gaming division as an "AI" something.

Yes, this is indeed my own resignation as well, although I can see now that it was excessively curt and I apologize for the confusion this caused. Some of the people who believe they were the reason I chose to "revoke my option to interact" have asked me to speak more candidly on the frustrations that led me to resign. Long-Term Concerns - ------------------ To start this off, let me clarify that there is no single event that drove this decision and my references to world politics are more than just casual. systemD - ------- This change in perception of Debian dates all the way back to systemD. Rather than coming together to collectively discuss technical merit, the Debian Constitution was abused to force the decision out of DD hands. The claim was that we can keep supporting both, but then we immediately saw removal of (fully-functioning) support for other init systems. This change in Debian ultimately came down to politics over technical merit. To me, this mirrors Ajit Pai, who was given a position solely to remove Title II classification of Internet Service Providers (ISPs), along with (my) representatives that were paid to look the other way. ISPs claimed it was totally not about failing to meet standards or making fast lanes, yet Verizon was caught with fast lanes the same day the law changed, and rural access saw the expected tank in service. Salsa - ----- This perception deepened when it became time to retire Alioth. This was a well-known pain in Debian architecture, and performing two critical tasks made it especially difficult to replace. There was a brief call for discussion, however I now perceive that as entirely for show because the decision had already been made and the only thing left to do was get drunk and pick a name...salsa, because "we're eating chips and salsa." I was told that the decision was made and if I want to have anyone consider anything else, I need a fully-functional prototype that fully integrates with existing authentication and it needs to be in Debian's main archive. It took about two days for me to work out authentication, using gitea with certificates handled by nginx. Getting gitea into main was going to take a lot more work as a solo project, but that requirement was eventually dropped...for gitlab anyway. Ultimately, the challenges were insincere and the choice had already been made. Was gitea the right choice, or would something else have been better? We'll never know. When I attempted to obtain resources so that I could run it on debian infrastructure, rather than my own VM, Wirt literally said (in #d-admin) that he will rage-quit the project if anyone gives me any of Debian's resources, and that was enough to ensure my requests never saw a response. I continued pushing gitea into debian/main because I genuinely thought gitea was a great candidate and didn't see why there should be any problem having multiple options, especially when one could be mirrored to the other and it was me personally footing the bill for gitea. Call for Resource Usage - ----------------------- This was prior to an email thread on d-private@l.d.o, with the subject: > Spending Debian money, Dev boards, laptops, upcoming Lenovo discounts and more... SSO - --- It was not long after that "we may as well use gitlab as the new SSO provider" came up, to which I found immediate alarm. In truth, this [1,2] is still something that I find very concerning. I attempted to ask for some time to build something that addressed concerns, but the conclusion was, "I don't hear anyone, so you should just do it." [3] I still believe that LemonLDAP-NG [4] is the best long-term solution for Debian SSO. Xavier literally wrote that software from the ground up to serve The National Police [5] and knew better than anyone how to build an SSO solution with long-term concerns put to rest. All of their internal developers are encouraged to become DDs because their own release into production is through main. He even wrote a plugin [6] that was able to fully replicate certificate-based authentication, providing backward compatible migrations. Unfortunately, this was also just bits to the wind; the oligarchs already made their choice and serious discussion was never on the table.

It is a common plea that I do not believe has changed in any significant way. I have been given permission to repeat this segment from d- private@lists.d.o, that captures my feelings perfectly: > I have always had great appreciation for the community members' > technical skills, which are generally far beyond average. However, for > the longest time, I erroneously assumed that people with great ability > to analyze technical problems and to devise solutions for them would be > capable of doing the same for social problems. > > Everything escalates here.

Some things clearly deserve a strong response. Some don't, > and much like a Rorschach test, the fact that said stuff still produces > endless threads says nothing about the stuff, but about the people > producing the thread. This thread was also the point where I was no longer able to handle the mental toll of being on that mailing list and unsubscribed. A few claimed that I shouldn't be part of the project if I'm not subscribed to that list, even though I was still working toward becoming an "FTP Master" (team member). FTP Team - -------- While contributing to that team, I was subjected to an opaque process that was clearly used to play favorites. Trainee reviews were rarely discussed openly, unless being used for open reprimand. It was incredibly uncommon for Trainee reviews to actually be reviewed at all, unless at least one FTP Master was dedicating their time to fast-track their favorite Trainee...in order to gain access to make policy changes. In #d-ftp-private, team members were very open about which packages they wanted to prioritize and which uploaders got to the shit list and should be ignored. Anyone who attempted to suggest a replacement project was responded to by never again seeing their own package reviews reviewed; effectively making them (us) "Permanent Trainees." Perhaps the most shocking interaction I witnessed was deciding someone "need not apply" because "[they] don't trust anyone involved with that many teams." Review Tool - ----------- There's only so much that someone can do without support of others, and FTP Team effectively shut down my own project efforts by stating their opposition and booting one of those trainees--because they shared something from #d-ftp-private onto d-private@lists.d.o (instant +kb). This was the point when I began to take very long breaks. Aside from responding to requests for advice, my entire activity can be shown on github/ MTeck/tdc. [7] [7] https://github.com/MTecknology/tdc/commits/debian/ Tag2Upload - ---------- - From my perspective, this was rushed to GC in a similar way to sytemD, and then dropped because, "we found a loophole so we don't need your approval." New Review - ---------- I recently became aware of a renewed [8] interest in a replacement review utility [9] that would address historical concerns. I was very excited about this and attempted to share my own [10] attempt to solve core requirements. I honestly thought this was going to finally renew my interest in Debian and get me excited for a long-term project grind. Unfortunately, I quickly discovered that the current replacement tool [11] was built by an LLM and had all the signs of fundamental framework misalignment (i.e. golang+nodejs+reactjs+bootstrap...with dart a planned addition) and I was easily able to pick out some security and performance issues that are common to LLM-generated Golang. To put this bluntly, dfsg-new-queue [11] "feels" exactly like a bad demo [12]. I felt like my concerns were being ignored, so I forwarded them [13] to DPL, accepted further silence, and disengaged. It feels worth repeating this bit: > Anyway, there are certainly other people with FTP Team history that would love > to resolve core issues, although it's doubtful any of them would unite without > jumping back to waterfall a complete system--and I'm going to double down on my > outside perspective that you are absolutely at the most perfect point for that. [8] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2020/03/msg00476.html [9] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2026/01/ msg00004.html [10] "Screenshot from 2026-01-05.png", fasalo_review.txt, review_setup.png [11] https://salsa.debian.org/awm/dfsg-new-queue [12] https://github.com/MTecknology/LLM-Demo [13] "Fwd: [michael@lustfield.net: Re: Bits from the DPL].eml" Appealing Community Team Action - ------------------------------- A few have asked something to the effect of, "why now? why this?" or... "If you were subscribed to d-private@, you would have seen he was in the wrong." Let me clarify that this is "the [thread] that broke [my] back" because I felt like something brought out of private, to the project, warranted at least an honest review and hoped to head off any drama with a facts-driven response [14]: 1. I stated that no objective position can be drawn from what was shared 2. Asked for some sort of simple explanation 3. Also posed a best-guess hypothetical with simple conclusions 4. Commented on concerning language in the warning email It is #4 that I want to repeat and focus on: > That said, I will say that I found the email warning concerning. It engages > debate and creates confusion where it should only be a simple restatement of > facts...something that, if shared, would provide all an outside reader would > need to draw a conclusion. Looking back at the original email warning [15], I still believe that it: - - Fails to call out the specific behavior that is problematic - - Leaving ambiguity that yields all-or-nothing assumptions - - Lacks constructive feedback that could guide improved communication - - Comes across as adversarial and emphasizes extreme response - - Phrases expulsion as punitive rather than an unfortunate protection - - Closes any potential dialog that could improve future communication I also find it very concerning that someone expressed resentment toward Branden for publicly sharing the warning from Debian Community Team. From my perspective, this is akin to bodycam footage that should have been used to improve future reprimands. Instead, the response was [16] outrage and doubled down on this problematic approach, using language that reinforces a top-down, dismissive posture rather than fostering understanding or improvement. I was particularly concerned by "acts under my delegation and enjoys my full confidence," because it comes across as authoritarian and confirms a defensive and closed process. Branden reached out privately and the conversation began in a way that would certainly lead to an expected reprimand if conducted on-list, but this was also easily resolved in one single message, with subsequent messages being a mutual apology. To be frank, I suspect this is what was lacking from any historical dispute resolution because it truly was, "oh, sorry, not sure WTF I was reading."

I'm left with the perception that both were great attempts at democracy that gradually turned into a collection of decision makers who more closely resemble an oligarchy. During a moment of meditation and reflection, I questioned if there is any place for an old greybeard like me to keep trying, despite being continually disillusioned by current direction. When I thought about the silence my concerns received, the answer became loud and clear.

Infested With LLM Slop⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 21, 2026, updated Feb 21, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇All_things_Linux⦈_ "In an interview with TechCrunch, Rose shared his goals with the newly relaunched Digg of building trust with its user base and making sure it's not overtaken by AI bots looking to manipulate the platform. For example, a Digg community for those who own a particular piece of tech hardware could be asked to prove they own said piece of technology." - Last_month (slop_is_already_a problem_there) "The new Digg went live for a select number of testers in April 2025, and this month, the doors opened to the general public. The site does still have a ‘beta’ label and continues to be a work in progress." - Weeks_ago Last month we_took_note of the latest of several incarnations of Digg.com. They keep trying - and failing - to resurrect what used to be and once upon a time thrived spectacularly. The 'site' is a JavaScript 'webapp', what it calls "Feed" is not RSS (unlike 20 years ago), and there seems to be not much interaction in there. Many submissions go to slopfarms and some get summarised by slop. I have nothing against the original founders who now have a "Second Go" at their old 'baby' (it didn't scale well because of their poorly crafted MySQL queries); I just think they're misguided to assume this thing will truly take off. Social control media is already waning and they'll spend extraordinary amounts of time dealing with slop/bots - to the point of erroneously banning people or censoring real stories (false positives).

III - It's in His Eyes⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 21, 2026, updated Feb 21, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Antonio Campino⦈ In Part_I we began talking about a problem more widespread than a single individual (Part_II) and we can see how eager António_Campinos is to cover_up for this individual - to_the_point_of_paying_him_over_100,000_euros_just_to_do nothing_and_in_effect_"go_into_hiding". For over 5 years already readers and whistleblowers kept telling us that Campinos was likely a cocaine addict, not just habitual user. It was very prevalent a rumour inside the Office, even well before his best buddy got caught red-handed (or white-nosed) in an open market because he had become too confident and arrogant. If Campinos was a man of honour or principles, he'd oust the person for it, not wait for two months and then pay him a lot of money to hide. Some readers of ours therefore believe that by hiding his friend Campinos actually hides something about himself. "There are rumors (which seem to be true) that the president has a very deep issue with cocaine," one reader recently told us. "I myself filmed him few times while his eyes were quite weirdly open..." That's not unexpected. As Wikipedia explains cocaine: "Short-term effects of the drug include euphoria, hyper-focus, sociability, cardiovascular hypertension, dilated pupils, hyperthermia, vertigo, tremors, restlessness." It also says: "Non-physiological causes of mydriasis include disease, trauma, or the use of certain types of drugs. [...] Mydriasis is frequently induced by drugs [...] Drugs that can cause mydriasis include: Stimulants (typically monoaminergics) such as amphetamines, cocaine, MDMA, and mephedrone." Short-term is what Wikipedia says. "Initial short-term," an associate of Techrights explained, as "the advantage wear off quickly as one abuses the drug over time soon it is just a disadvantage, with permanent damage it shaves off a little IQ each usage -- permanently". EPO insiders have long shared videos and texts of Campinos doing and saying utterly stupid things. Unless he is a "drunkard" (like Benoît_Battistelli), it could be the fault of something else. For many years already it was the consensus inside the Office that the Office is run by drug addicts, not limited to Campinos (alleged to be part of this problem). That would help explain quite a lot. They're drunk on power, they surround themselves with loyalists and bullies (it is their "survival tactic") and they mob/intimidate any morsel of what merely seems like a critic. Workers are free to draw their own conclusions. We know for a fact that all the European media went out of its way to not even discuss drug abuse in EPO management (despite admitting to me, directly, that it was true, it accepted this to be true, and that it was very worrying). █ * Links_21/02/2026:_Tensions_Over_Iran_and_Illegal_Cheeto_Tariffs, Presidential_Approval_Sags * Firefox_is_No-Go_in_China,_Not_Even_1%_"Market_Share"_Anymore

"before that, every distro that wanted to respect its users' freedom had to remove itself all of the binary blobs that were distributed as part of the kernel Linux's so-called sources" "it took a little while for Linux to react to being so called out, by first making those binary blobs loadable separately, and then moving most of them to a separate subproject." "that didn't really solve any freedom issues, given that the drivers still demanded users to install and run those blobs." "Linux-libre joined the #GNU Project a few years later." "the set of blobs demanded by Linux has grown out of control, much faster than Linux itself. nowadays there are even binary blobs that contain a binary copy of Linux!" "you might think that, after the split, the kernel Linux became entirely Free, and that the only remaining problem are the demands for binary blobs and the documentation that directs users to install them." "unfortunately, not even that is true. Linux still carries a few binary blobs disguised as arrays of bytes in what was supposed to be source files. there have even been recent additions to this wall of shame." "so it doesn't look like we'll be able to retire GNU Linux-libre any time soon." "when you're ready to try software freedom for real, we'll be here for you https://linux-libre.fsfla.org/" Incidentally, one hour from now it'll be 800 days since I last rebooted into this kernel:

Machines, where an even larger team of volunteers runs things Using R and Bash and all sorts of other tools/frameworks/languages the Techrights team recently developed an experimental tool which charts page requests per day (for several protocols), splitting them based on age (the "old" archive of Techrights and the new, SSG-based site/capsule). There are still deficiencies and bugs as it's actively being developed (our team uses Git, which is locally hosted, as_usual - we're not hypocrites!). Since the attack on us (which started_around_2021_and_was_multi-faceted) the site's popularity grew and audience size has steadily increased. It's what we alluded to last night when using the analogy_of_a_shell. What sane person thinking that threatening_to_send_my_family_to_prison, based on an utter lie, would yield a positive result? █ * Richard_Stallman_in_the_United_States_-_Part_III_-_Georgia_Tech_Did_a Fine_Job_Upholding_Free_Speech_Principles * Why_IBM_is_Still_Scary_and_Dangerous ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣀⣒⣒⣒⣓⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣐⣒⣒⣒⣒⣚⣀⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⣀⣀⡀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶ ⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣏⣍⣉⣉⣉⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣝ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠻⣹⡟⢿⢺⢙⠻⣿⡏⡛⡟⣿⣭⡍⠟⢟⣿⢸⢻⣻⠺⣛⡇⡛⡏⡛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣷⣶⣾⣶⣶⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣷⣶⣷⣾⣾⣾⣿⣾⣦⣷⣷⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣧⣥⣼⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⠻⠻⠻⡛⢟⣟⠹⢻⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣶⣾⣾⣴⣷⣿⣾⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡟⠛⠿⢿⠛⠻⣛⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⢻⣻⡛⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣗⣲⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡿⠟⣿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⡟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢸⣏⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣏⣹⣿⣸⣪⣂⣻⡅⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣸⣮⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⢧⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣿⣷⣶⣿⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣷⢶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⣿⣿⡇⢿⣿⣿⣏⣾⡏⡟⢻⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣓⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⢸⣿⣿⣧⢲⣮⣭⣼⣿⣷⢣⣯⣻⣣⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣧⣤⣤⣼⣤⣶⣦⣼⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⠍⢽⣿⡟⢿⡿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣼⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⡿⡆⡿⢿⣱⣿⣿⡿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣷⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡽⣽⢱⡙⣝⢓⣽⣿⡯⢿⢸⡿⠷⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣿⣧⣤⣼⣦⣮⣥⣼⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⢳⣮⠘⣇⣧⣿⣿⢸⣇⣷⣶⣿⢹⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢏⣫⠟⠞⠿⠹⠯⣿⠬⠹⡪⣮⠻⣃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣭⣿⣏⣡⣿⣭⣉⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣹⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣽⣿⣿⣼⣿⣶⣭⣾⣿⣟⣭⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡉⣿⣏⢻⣿⣿⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣉⣿⣿⣿⣏⢹⣿⣿⣿⡉⣿⣿⣿⣏⢹⣿⣿⣿⣍⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⢈⣿⣿⣿⡏⢸⣿⣿⣿⣅⣿⣿⣿⡯⣸⣿⣿⣿⠅⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣅⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⢯⣿⣿⣿⡟⣽⣿⣿⣿⢫⣿⣿⣿⡟⢽⣿⣿⣿⡖⣿⣿⣿⣷⢺⣿⣿⣿⡖⣿⣿⣿⣿⢺⣿⣿⡒⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣿⣏⣸⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣘⣿⣿⣿⣇⣺⣿⣿⣿⣅⣿⣿⣿⣯⣹⣿⣿⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⣿⣿⣥⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡾⠹⡙⢩⢋⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡖⠒⠒⠒⢲⢐⠲⠶⠒⡂⡶⣖⠶⠖⡆⡖⠲⠲⣲⢲⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠆⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠶⠶⠶⠆⠆⠶⠀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1742 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/02/21/Microsoft_Controlled_Media_With_Embargo_and_Press_Operatives.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/02/21/Microsoft_Controlled_Media_With_Embargo_and_Press_Operatives.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Microsoft-Controlled Media With Embargo and Press Operatives⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 21, 2026, updated Feb 21, 2026 Notice the time they published this (9PM on Friday): 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Microsoft, 9PM on Friday⦈ Within a_few_minutes face-saving pieces were pushed with a false, deflecting narrative (clearly coordinated in advance with an embargo set in place under secretly-negotiated conditions) regarding layoffs.

This won't be the last example of media manipulation for narrative control or face-saving "damage control". Microsoft is clearly paranoid about any actual journalism; it has long "flooded the zone" with parrots and PR fluff. █ * Slop_Hype_Makes_Our_Core_Technology_Less_Reliable_and_Far_Less_Resilient_ (We_Pay_for_the_Catastrophe_That_Follows) * Waggener_Edstrom/Frank_Shaw_Lied,_There_Are_Definitely_Microsoft_Layoffs ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⣿⣛⣲⣿⣒⢓⣖⣳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣒⣒⣞⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿⣟⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣲⣒⣷⡂⡢⣷⣳⣶⣿⡛⣂⢲⣲⣷⣿⣒⣗⣷⣿⣿⣿⣧⣟⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣾⣶⣿⣶⣾⣿⣾⣶⣿⣷⣶⣶⣷⣿⣾⣷⣿⣷⣾⣾⣷⣿⣾⣿⣶⣿⣾⣾⣷⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣛⣛⣖⣛⣒⢝⣿⣿⣿⣛⡽⣛⢛⣻⣻⢿⣩⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⢒⡖⡇⠀⢸⠕⣿⣞⣫⡆⠀⠀⢊⣿⡿⣳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⢶⡷⠷⡶⠾⠷⢿⣿⣿⣶⠶⠶⣾⣿⣷⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⠿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠿⢿⠿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠬⠇⡀⠎⠭⡼⢛⠉⢐⠘⠚⠛⢓⡘⠃⢀⣀⣒⣒⣐⠀⢐⡐⠒⣒⡒⡠⢤⣴⡶⢢⡴⠶⣶⢶⡶⣶⣶⣶⠶⢶⣶⣷⡶⠶⣶⠶⣶⣶⡶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⡿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⠿⡿⠿⢿⠿⢿⡿⡿⡿⢿⡿⡿⢿⣿⡿⡿⣿⡿⣿⢿⡿⠿⠿⢿⡿⡿⠿⠾⠿⢿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡯⣭⠭⡭⢭⢽⡯⠭⡭⢯⣭⠭⠯⢽⡭⠽⣯⡽⡯⢯⢭⣭⡽⢭⣽⡽⣿⠭⣽⡽⢿⣯⣿⠭⢭⢭⣽⣯⠯⡩⠭⠿⡯⣿⢿⢿⡿⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⢿⡿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡯⠭⠭⡯⠭⠭⡯⢽⢝⣿⢿⢽⡿⠧⠤⠤⡤⣦⣶⣴⡦⢴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣷⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡯⠭⠭⡯⡭⠭⣿⢽⢽⡿⠿⣯⣿⡭⢭⡭⠽⠽⢽⣯⠭⠭⡿⠭⣽⣿⣽⠽⣿⠿⣿⢿⣭⣉⣿⠿⣭⠿⡿⡽⡯⣽⣿⡯⠯⣽⣽⣿⣿⡿⡿⠭⡿⢿⡿⣿⣟⠿⢿⢿⣿⢿⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿⠿⣿⣿⠿ ⣿⣿⣯⠭⠭⡯⡯⠭⣿⢽⠽⡯⢿⣿⠭⢭⡭⠵⠻⠯⢿⡻⡞⠭⢯⣿⣯⢿⡿⠿⣹⡽⡽⣿⠼⣥⣾⣿⣿⣯⣯⣭⣯⣽⣭⣭⣯⣭⣯⣽⣿⣿⣽⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣽⣾⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠭⠭⡯⡯⠭⡯⢽⠭⠭⠭⣿⠭⣿⢿⠽⡾⠭⣭⠭⠝⠭⠩⡙⠋⠍⠩⠉⠉⠩⠩⠉⠉⠩⠉⣩⠫⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠩⡈⡏⡋⠭⣋⣿⠭⠄⠩⣿⣭⠝⠉⠙⣍⢽⠿⣭⠌⡁⠳⡽⣽⣿⢇⠠⠠⢟⢿⣿⣄⢣⢘⢷⡿⣿⠟⠛⢛⢻⣿⡿⡿⠛⡛⢿⣟⡿⠛⢻⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⢟⣿⠿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⠿⢿⡿⠿⡿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣾⣾⣾⣶⣿⣷⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⢿⣛⣿⢿⣿⠏⣿⡛⣿⢻⣛⡿⣿⣿⢻⢿⣛⡿⠿⣟⣻⡏⣿⠿⣿⣽⣿⢻⣛⢿⢹⣿⣿⢹⣯⣿⣿⡏⠿⣹⢿⣿⣿⣻⠿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⣿⣾⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣷⣾⣷⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣿⣾⣷⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣷⣱⣿⣷⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣩⢹⠩⠉⢹⢫⣉⢹⠉⢉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣥⣼⣤⣥⣼⣬⣥⣼⣤⣬⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⢟⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣛⠛⣛⣛⢻⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡆⠀⣾⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣾⣿⡆⢾⣿⡆⠀⠀⣾⢆⠏⢿⣾⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠃⠀⢸⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⡇⢼⣷⠆⠀⠀⣸⣿⡿⠦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡿⣿⡿⣿⡇⠀⣩⣿⡇⢸⣭⣤⣠⣠⣦⠁⠀⠀⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣿⣥⣼⣿⡄⠀⠀⢀⣸⣦⣈⣥⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣷⠶⣿⣷⠿⠇⠀⠉⠻⠃⠀⡠⠐⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠋⠉⠩⠝⠛⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠔⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⣀⡄⠀⠀⠀⣉⣛⣷⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣄⠄⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠈⣛⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣧⣰⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡠⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣆⣠⡀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣾⣡⣶⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⣾⣷⡜⣿⣿⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⠀⠀⣴⣿⣷⣾⠀⠀⣿⣿⢿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠴⣿⣷⠄⠀⢿⡟⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⣎⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠒⠒⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⡖⠈⠐⠀⠀⠀⢠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⢈⣥⣄⣤⡿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠸⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1842 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/02/21/New_Article_Challenges_Solicitors_Regulation_Authority_SRA_for_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/02/21/New_Article_Challenges_Solicitors_Regulation_Authority_SRA_for_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ New Article Challenges Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) for Choosing the Wrong SLAPP Cases to Investigate⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 21, 2026 "The SRA should consult on how it will approach this balancing exercise to ensure it has a proper framework for deciding which cases to investigate."

sudden) death at 9PM on a Friday, its leaders fell on their swords, and Microsoft still tries to scatter the pieces of what's left or pour these into an "AI" bucket. Maybe some magical pixie dust with a nebulous label can be passed through the sausage-making machinery to make real money? Remember that Microsoft passes the baton to a "Ponzi" manager every time the finances don't add up: Nadella (big debt), then the slop CEO (huge debt, slop declining fast), now the "XBox" chief (hopelessness). Will this pay off? Nah... Won't happen. The_Ponzi_scheme_can_grow, but the higher it goes, the harder it'll fall. Anyway, XBox is fast becoming extinct online. "XBox", the trademark, is being changed to refer to some online streaming, nothing to do with an actual product called XBox. XBox has been a massive failure. Microsoft also hopes to distract from reports like this_one (hours before its prepared_puff_pieces): 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Microsoft revealed truth behind what causes Xbox 360's red ring of death⦈ Microsoft will never publicly admit or say how many billions it lost on the XBox.

States - Part III - Georgia Tech Did a Fine Job Upholding Free Speech Principles⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 21, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Georgia_Tech_seal⦈_ The real problem was social control media (toxic) In Part_I we explained the timing of this series and days ago, in Part_II, we explained why Richard Stallman (RMS) tends to be targeted the way he has been targeted since 2009 at_the_very_least (or earliest_I_know_of). A lot of it boils down to people defending_unethical_occupations or simply being envious. "Collecting" accomplishments like starting GNU/Linux is far harder than collecting money. Many people do the latter; many die young due to such needless and potentially self-harming (health hazard) pursuits. RMS is respected enough by many who didn't_lose_track_of_the_narrative. They can easily distinguish between Jeffrey Epstein's friends (such as Bill Epsteingate) and people who openly_called_Epstein_"serial_rapist". They know who's in it for the money (Epsteingate) and who's in it for science. Sadly, there are also scientists who were led to think negatively of RMS, either based on direct experience or hearsay online. "I met with our Dean of Students at Georgia Tech yesterday," an organiser told us of the RMS talk, "and after I presented the situation and identified the individual involved as a faculty member (department chair), I was clearly assured that she has no authority over our organization, Dr. Stallman, or the event itself, nor any ability to cancel it. Per the Dean's own words "you can literally bring anyone you want here as an RSO, and nobody can do anything but protest it outside." (RSO is a registered student organization) "In addition, we were granted “council” protection. This means the university will assign and pay 2–5 students to attend the event, with the explicit responsibility of ensuring Dr. Stallman has a quiet and uninterrupted space to speak. If anyone attempts to disrupt the talk or stage a protest inside the classroom, the Dean assured me that they will be promptly removed by council staff and, if necessary, GTPD. We don't want to advertise this as it will likely only enrage RMS's haters even more. "The faculty member in question has also made some rather concerning public posts, and her account of events changed when I attempted to ask her about them directly. The Dean of Students explained that by making public accusations while using her name and university title, she looks to have violated university policy. As a result, the matter will likely need to be forwarded to the Provost for further review. I'm not sure what will come of it, but it's super frustrating that a faculty member thought she could step in the way of students paying her salary due to her own views. "Long story short, we have the university’s full support, and we’re now in a position to formally address the situation if needed. Importantly, I haven’t said a word to her or acknowledged since her behavior began, and in hindsight, that was the right call. I’ll admit it was tempting to publicly vent about how we’ve been treated simply for inviting someone to speak about technology, at an institute of technology, but it’s genuinely reassuring to have confirmation that we’ve done nothing wrong and that the administration is standing behind us. "We're not backing down anytime soon, and will continue to fight for software & hardware freedom - and advocate for justice for RMS!" The talk ended 4 weeks ago and, in hindsight, it went very well. Many thousands of people from all over the world listened to it; articles were published in several_languages based on that talk. There's no real harm bringing this up now and, moreover, the person who attempted to interfere with the talk has since then changed her attitude, if not superficially then at least based on the realisation the talk went well (albeit that's somewhat a personal guess, based on gut feeling). Giving credit to Georgia Tech, at the end it offended nobody (on the face of it). Admonishment of RMS averted, the talk went ahead, and no disciplinary actions were required. What's noteworthy here is the conflict resolution/mediation/deescalation. By professional bureaucracy at a technical institution they reached a positive outcome that brought positive attention to Georgia Tech. The main issue, in this case, was social control media. It breeds hostility and conflict. It thrives in attention, no matter the means. Debian, take_a_lesson_from_academia, stop harbouring cults and narcissism. Stop persecuting_well-meaning_people. █ "I'm not going to dig into the archive because basic human respect shouldn't be this difficult and it's why Debian is losing active contributors." -Earlier this_month amid mass_censorship_of_geeks (science is abandoned when people are excluded based on "tone" or "tact" in a medium that lacks nuanced elements) =============================================================================== Image source: Georgia_Tech_seal =============================================================================== * Debian's_Master_is_Deleting_Criticism_of_SystemD_and_Other_Things_(On- Topic_and_Published_by_Debian_Developers),_Resorts_to_the_Excuse_Messages Are_"Too_Long" * Measuring_the_Growth_of_Our_Mission_and_Community ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣦⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣶⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⠋⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠿⢿⣿⣶⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣾⡿⠟⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠻⢿⣿⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣶⣿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⣿⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⢿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡟⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡼⢣⠘⢆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠁⠘⡆⠈⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢧⡴⠃⡠⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢰⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣆⠀⠀ ⠀⢀⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⡄⠀ ⠀⣼⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣷⠀ ⢀⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣶⣿⡿⠿⣿⣷⣶⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⡄ ⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣇ ⣾⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣶⠲⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠖⣲⣶⣶⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⡿⢣⡀⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⢀⡴⢿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⢿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡸⠋⢳⠀⠉⠲⢤⣀⣀⣀⣀⡤⠔⠋⠀⣼⠙⢿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⠁⢀⡜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣦⠀⢧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⡏ ⠈⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣴⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣷⡞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠇ ⠀⢻⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣹⣿⡷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠾⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⡿⠀ ⠀⠈⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣏⣉⡉⠉⠉⠁⢀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡀⠈⠉⠉⢉⣉⣹⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⠃⠀ ⠀⠀⠸⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⠭⠤⠤⢤⡤⢴⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣶⠤⠤⠤⠤⠭⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⡏⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣾⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢿⣿⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣾⡿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠿⣿⣷⣦⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣾⣿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠻⠿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣶⣶⣿⡿⠿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2578 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/02/21/Slop_Hype_Makes_Our_Core_Technology_Less_Reliable_and_Far_Less_.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/02/21/Slop_Hype_Makes_Our_Core_Technology_Less_Reliable_and_Far_Less_.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Slop Hype Makes Our Core Technology Less Reliable and Far Less Resilient (We Pay for the Catastrophe That Follows)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 21, 2026 Only slop-free projects can be trusted Slop pushers love to cheat. They would even fake "demand" for their own slop. So they run a bunch of bots to issue requests out of a vacuum or trick users into passively "invoking" a bunch of plagiarism (or BS) generators. It's a bit like buybacks. Yesterday David Gerard (Pivot to AI) wrote_about_slop_in_technical_circles turning_out_to_be_costly, hardly a money saver. "Amazon Web Services is the biggest cloud provider," he wrote, "Large chunks of the internet run on AWS. You’ll pay and pay. But it basically works. Amazon’s at work on fixing that. The AI push across Amazon has reached AWS. The site reliability engineers who keep Amazon Web Services running are being forced to use AI bot coding when the details are important — and expensive. When the bot goes wrong, the employees get the blame!" Think about so-called 'vibe' so-called 'coding', as it's based on the same braindead mindset of obfuscation or "toss something at it, worry about it much later"... "Amazon released a post-mortem internally," Gerard wrote, "which the FT got wind of. FT spoke to multiple people at Amazon who said this was the second vibe-outage in recent months. The previous outage used Amazon’s old Q vibe coder, not the new Kiro vibe coder." Remember_what_happened_to_Clownflare_last_night. Last time it happened they blamed the latest crappy code from Rust People, who generally favour Microsoft GitHub, a_hub_of_slop. █ * Going_for_1,000_(Days_of_Uptime) * Microsoft-Controlled_Media_With_Embargo_and_Press_Operatives ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2633 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/02/21/Techrights_Has_Over_1_000_Good_Articles_in_the_Tank.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/02/21/Techrights_Has_Over_1_000_Good_Articles_in_the_Tank.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Techrights Has Over 1,000 Good Articles 'in the Tank'⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 21, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Filling up a car with gas⦈ Drafts, notes, and lengthy documents At Techrights, the editorial team casually debates timing of publications (we have a backlog or queue), e.g. EPO 'bombshells' or RMS stories (which can cause adverse effects if published prematurely).

The founder named after himself a subsidiary that provided hardware to Hitler's death camps (Poland) and generally_agreed_with_Hitler. Almost a century has passed and IBM still believes that selling "intelligence", chatbots in particular, should be done under the name "Watson". Homage to who? Homosexuals? They too were eliminated in these death camps. Let that sink in any time IBM preaches to us about "diversity"... When MElon added some Grok chatbot to Twitter (months before it came a child pornography "on-demand" site) people rushed to dub it "MechaHitler", based on its leanings towards Nazi-esque ideology. Does IBM not understand that a chatbot (or similar) claiming to emulate Watson would come across as another "MechaHitler"? We_already_made_this_sort_of_observation_several_times_in_2020. Some people in our community are mildly - and perhaps rightly - irritated when Red Hat staff labels them Nazis, conveniently forgetting their salary comes from a death camp hardware supplier (and yes, IBM knew!). To IBM, anyone who dares oppose some IBM thing is defaulted to or trivialised as "must be nazi" or "might be a nazi bar"... (with capital N sometimes, for the grammar nazis out there) The double_standard and projection_tactics know no boundaries. █

The company is not trustworthy. It is not_a_new_problem. IBM even betrays its own employees. Yesterday we wrote about_the_NDAs_IBM compels_them_to_sign (in order to control them even after they get sacked). "IBM's censorship via non-disparagement clauses / gag clauses in the severance contracts are invalid," an associate notes, "but the hard part will be for any single individual to stand up and tell them to go pound sand." So who can be trusted in IBM? Nobody. Red Hat whistleblowers tell us they hate IBM (yes, the word "hate" is used). They hate their paymaster. That alone is a signal of something; loyalty is nil. IBM controls a lot of GNU, Linux, and other things. Like RAND and others, IBM remains mostly in the shadows, wielding software patents and lobbying for them. Even before IBM took over Red Hat or joined hands with Novell in the SCO litigation IBM was quite scary. I used to speak to some staff there and, as I reminded my father in a long conversation today, they tried hard to interfere with my journalism even 15+ years ago (to the point of phoning my home and speaking for over an hour). The EPO's lawyers were very_expensive_but_not_potent. Microsoft's staff lawyering_up_against_us was also incompetent and lacking credibility (just like the lawyers, who got sued by their own clients a few months ago [1, 2, 3]). But it is still IBM that scares me most and the intimidation against us seems to correlate with our coverage of accounting fraud - a very hype-sensitive subject at IBM, more so than the secretive layoffs. From what I can gather, bullying against members of our community often comes from Red Hat (IBM) people - probably more often than from Microsoft - for instance when they question systemd, Wayland and so on. The thing about IBM and its offshoots is, they have connections (hundreds of thousands of former staff in the private and public sector). IBM is eager to use those connection to harm, not to do good. Don't trust IBM. The Free software community should be hesitant and highly reluctant to view IBM as an ally of convenience. Remember what IBM did with Microsoft after the formats war. They sort of colluded behind closed doors and IBM is no longer promoting OpenDocument Format (ODF). IBM nearly got sued over it. Many people in the community were very angry. Nowadays, in many circumstances, IBM is nothing but a Microsoft partner/ally - same thing Novell became 20 years ago. █ * Measuring_the_Growth_of_Our_Mission_and_Community *

Clicks"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 21, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇facebook_cartoon⦈_ 3_days_ago: "How Many Friends Do You Have?" Social control media is a waste of everybody's time. It is addictive, sure, so addicts won't realise this. Too busy chasing their next "fix". Digg.com_is_off_to_a_rocky_start_with_slop_and_scammers. I hear that some influential YouTubers are being deranked if not shadowbanned. Some of them set up "backup accounts" (yes, in YouTube also!), perhaps missing the point or totally failing to grasp the core issue. Unless they run their own site/ platform, they'll be at someone else's mercy - someone totally un-attentive, uncaring about their goals/beliefs. Social control media has proven to be mostly unprofitable time and time again over the past two decades. Social control media can help sell ads, but in Twitter's case the ad revenue never offset the considerable costs, including hosting, staff, legal cases etc. That's why the company was so deep in debt and ultimately sold to a high bidder whose plans for Twitter were sinister, self- serving (at the expense of users) and so on. If all you have "left" from so-called 'social' control 'media' [sic] is a bunch of old memories and some "likes", then maybe you have managed to measure accomplishments in life using false metrics/yardsticks (like some private database owned and controlled by somebody else). 3 days ago we published: "How Many Friends Do You Have?" No, seriously. How many people do you regularly meet in person? Some modern technology (so-called 'technology', check the topology) isolates and impoverishes people while giving those people the exact opposite sentiment (empowerment, popularity and so forth). "Alone together" is the motto. Lonely people stay lonely and talk to other lonely people... this is not "social life". 5 days ago we covered the true motivations: Social_Control_Media_is_Just_a Digital_Weapon Social hermits are not popular, irrespective of how many "Facebook friends" or "likes" they get. Clickfraud Spamnil still cheats YouTube. About 97% of his video "views" are bots; he pays for fakes. He's still at it and the Linux Foundation pays him to do this. This is sad, aside from fraudulent. █ * Waggener_Edstrom/Frank_Shaw_Lied,_There_Are_Definitely_Microsoft_Layoffs * 2026_a_Year_of_'Top-Down'_Microsoft_Layoffs_(Management_First) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⠉⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⢭⣭⡍⢩⣭⣭⣭⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣻⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣛⣭⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣭⣛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡿⣫⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⡙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⢟⣼⠻⢛⡟⢿⣟⣟⣻⣿⣛⢛⣿⣟⣻⢛⢻⡛⡿⢻⣛⣛⢛⣦⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡏⣾⣿⣬⣭⡿⣧⣿⢯⣿⡿⡿⡼⡿⡯⡵⣴⣭⠭⣷⠾⣿⣯⣿⣿⣧⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣶⣸⣒⣿⣧⣷⣣⣽⣱⣗⣺⣿⣿⣧⣻⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡞⣿⣿⣿⣇⣧⣇⣹⣬⣿⣇⣞⣎⣾⣼⣸⣯⣽⣆⣞⣈⢧⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣷⡹⣿⣿⢙⡋⡿⡋⢋⣿⡿⣿⣛⡏⣛⣿⢟⢻⠫⡏⢫⢩⢯⣿⣿⢏⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣷⣝⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣣⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣝⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢟⣩⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣮⣭⣛⣛⠻⠿⠿⢿⡟⣛⣛⣭⣵⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣎⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣛⣭⣷⢶⣿⠿⣿⢿⢿⣷⢶⣮⣝⡃⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠋⠡⣭⡙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢋⠙⠋⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣾⣹⣟⣞⣸⣸⣼⣿⣿⣿⣷⣝⢿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⠟⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣭⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⡗⢾⣷⣷⣝⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣾⣿⣿⣟⡼⣬⢻⠶⣹⡟⠶⡞⣽⠶⡇⣝⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⢋⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⡴⠶⢦⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡙⢿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣻⡏⣝⣿⢩⣿⣭⢽⣭⢽⣭⣻⣿⣿⡟⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⢃⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣀⠚⢋⣰⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⢻⣟⠻⠼⢿⣿⣷⣿⢻⢓⣶⡟⣾⢻⠒⠿⡖⢿⣾⣿⣿⢟⣵⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡏⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢡⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢿⣿⣿⣷⣭⣛⠿⣾⣭⣿⣿⣿⣴⣧⣭⣯⡽⢟⡋⢱⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣩⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣬⡙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣷⣶⣾⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠤⠧⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠬⠥⠤⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠴⠶⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠼⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠧⠼⠿⠿⠿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⠐⠆⠀⡰⡄⠀⠀⣠⠂⠀⠲⠀⢲⠀⠀⠆⠐⡆⠐⢢⡀⢠⠖⠀⠲⡄⢀⡔⠀⠐⢦⠀⢲⠀⡠⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⡆⠀⠀⢲⣄⠀⠀⠂⠐⡆⠀⠲⣄⠀⠀⠐⣆⠀⢠⠂⢀⡔⠀⠐⣆⠀⢲⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⠒⠺⠀⢠⠁⢻⡀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠒⠺⠀⠀⡗⠒⢪⡄⢿⠀⠀⠀⣿⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⠆⢸⠺⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠁⢹⡄⠀⢸⠈⢳⡀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠈⣧⠁⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⢸⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠼⠄⠀⠠⠇⠀⠠⠷⠄⠙⠦⠤⠐⠀⠼⠤⠤⠆⠠⠧⠤⠜⠁⠈⠣⠤⠔⠁⠀⠓⠤⠤⠋⠀⠼⠄⠨⠷⠤⠀⠠⠧⠀⠠⠷⠄⠼⠄⠀⠙⠀⠰⠧⠤⠐⠁⠀⠀⠀⠠⠿⠄⠀⠀⠓⠤⠤⠋⠀⠘⠦⠤⠘⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡄⠀⠀⣀⠀⢀⡀⠀⣀⠀⣠⠀⣀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⡄⡄⢀⡀⢀⡄⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⡀⢀⢀⠀⣀⡀⢠⠀⣀⡀⠀⣀⣀⠀⢀⡀⢀⡀⢀⡀⠀⡤⡀⠀⡠⡀⢀⠀⢠⡀⢀⢀⠀⣀⠀⢠⡀⢀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠘⠀⠉⠀⠀⠁⠀⠁⠀⠉⠀⠈⠁⠘⠈⠉⠀⠂⠁⠈⠁⠈⠁⠀⠃⠉⠀⠀⠁⠀⠈⠀⢈⠁⠈⠀⠉⡀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠈⠀⠈⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠁⠀⠁⠁⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠘⠀⠈⠀⠈⠁⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠀⠘⠣⠪⠘⠚⠀⠘⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3167 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Gemini Links 21/02/2026: "The Evil of Action" and Slop Bots Causing Great Harm Online (Not Just the Web)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 21, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Man_painting_shells.⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ worm_fourth_eve⠀⇛ A lot of my goals for this home retreat of the worm moon were more 'external'; train more, meditate more, create more. What seems to emerge is the need to step back and create a better foundation. Today I cleaned the kitchen like it hasn't been clean in a while. It feels good. I worked and clean, and I intend to do more of that for the next couple weeks. Not only my physical space, but my financial life also need some care. Pay my bills, get everything up-to-date, plan where things are going. Stopping the forward moving current for a bit, see what needs to be cared for, and prepare for whatever next is coming up in my life. # ⚓ worm_fifth_day⠀⇛ I went to bed later, woke up at a normal time. The day feels already more productive. My mind is still going a lot in the past, maybe with a tad less attachment? When I lost my best friend many years ago, I didn't say goodbye, I didn't see his body. Jamie told me that this makes it harder to move on, when you don't have a closure. I didn't have a closure, so I'm playing in my head all the ways that this closure might look like. # ⚓ The_Evil_of_Action⠀⇛ I was reminded by none.rip to think about stuff, and am still working it out. At some point I am afraid I will have written a manifesto, but here I am just spitballing. I am a crappy anarchist. I don't appreciate governments for the mass-scale murder and suffering (and to a lesser but tangible degree, corruption and lies) they cause and participate in. But I also don't feel a strong need to fight the State, as another and possibly worse State will take its place. As bad as things are where I am, I have personally witnessed much worse. And so I say I am an anarchist because I am anti- state, but that is not really it. Also people think I want to throw Molotov coctails and protest, which is absolutely not what I want to do. Mostly I just don't want people to die by force and brainwashing. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Need_Another_Diode_Square_Approximation⠀⇛ The dividers can be replaced by two coefficient potentiometers. However, since both potentiometers would be representing the same input — mass — then I have to make sure those two potentiometers are always set to the same ratio. Regarding the coefficient of lift and coefficient of drag functions: based on the examples on Wikipedia, the coefficient of lift appears to be a basically linear function, if we ignore for now what happens when you reach the stall angle. Coefficient of drag, on the other hand, appears to be an exponential function. # ⚓ BearSSL_&_Kernel_TLS⠀⇛ Kernel TLS is a feature of modern Linux kernels that encrypts and decrypts TLS traffic transparently in the kernel. Kernel TLS enables low-overhead file copy over encrypted network connections using the sendfile() syscall. Kernel TLS also allows encrypted network connections to be passed around to other processes, which do not have to be aware that the socket is encrypted. Some TLS libraries like OpenSSL are able to initiate Kernel TLS automatically when it's available, however it is difficult to configure OpenSSL to *require* Kernel TLS. It's also appealing to be able to use a smaller TLS library like BearSSL. However, BearSSL has no support for Kernel TLS. They must be bridged manually. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ gopherproxy.sh_down_again_due_to_bot_abuse⠀⇛ I took the gopher proxy down again because the AI fuckwits are hitting the server so hard... I estimate it will take about 1.5 weeks to come up with some new/interesting mitigations. Also endofthelinebbs.com is banned from all communication with this site permanently. The hostmaster there is patently stupid. First choice at any trouble was to email the abuse inbox and THEN look for some contact method. I do not have time to deal with that drama... I'd also like to point out that they do not have caps.txt or .well-known/security.txt there so... Complaining about my contact information being hard to find while theirs is hard to find (too?) is just ridiculous. # ⚓ Producing_garbage_for_the_AI_scrapers⠀⇛ I use it for an Apache web server. There, some of my sites include a config file with a few checks for bots, bots looking for Wordpress manifests, admin dashboards and the like. These all get served a 410 "Gone" response and the error document for 410 is something like this No Bots. This is `garbage` running with a copy of Moby Dick acting as a Markov text generators. It looks at two words and predicts the next word, prints it, and repeats. Every word has a 2% chance of being a link to another generated page. # ⚓ An_Updated_Misfin_Specification⠀⇛ Misfin B has also not been updated in almost three whole years; for what it's worth, the site hosting Misfin's original specification is still up, but the server's certificate expired some time in 2024. [...] Misfin C, hosted by satch and collaboratively created by several people over IRC, addresses some of these concerns, but it's even sparser in terms of technical details, and is purposefully backwards-incompatible with Misfin B. I am looking to focus on formalizing the behaviour of Misfin B, and evolve the standard in a backwards-compatible manner wherever possible. Misfin C, for its part, has also not been updated since early 2024. # ⚓ The_internet_is_a_social_network_for_autistic people⠀⇛ I apologize to #pink members, because I’ve just POSTed it to the chatroom. It could look like their reaction was insufficient to me; and to make the matter worse, it’s generally better to have a general public conversation (e.g. at a union strategic meeting) so you don’t repeat your comrades’ mistakes and benefit from their insights, but I also feel like I need to commit on this one. If you laugh at the World of Warcraft German teenager, you need to face the fact that you’re (probably) laughing at an autistic teenager. If you claim that gamers have no rights, you claim that (some) autistic people (that I’m not fond of either) have no rights. When French politicians claim that the internet is a lawless zone, they claim autistic people are lawless. When the French President claims riots after Nahel’s murder (an Arab teenager murdered by a cop) are due to social media, he makes a case for the far- right thesis of “ensavaging” but he also incidentally implies that the source of this “savagery” is us, autistic people. In other words, the message works because its source is autistic people, a mostly defenseless and struggling population, whose national joblessness amounts to 80%. When French politicians argue about regulating online speech, they argue about regulating autistic people’s speech. This reasoning has a blind spot, and it raises an obvious question: (1) microblogging is a far- right social network for autistic people, and (2) if you can’t defend the political abuse of autistic people because they’re autistic, where do you draw the limit? =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

If you’re already a RYF or a BSD user, you may infer from this flight log POST strategies for adopting a vegan diet; it’s also true the other way around. I’m going to discuss why some people don’t like BSD systems, and why, how they could adopt them. # ⚓ My_desk_rack:_DeskPi_RackMate_T0⠀⇛ On my desk sits a small rack that keeps audio gear, power, and network in one place: the DeskPi RackMate T0.

Your green laser pointer is more powerful than your red one. The answer is almost certainly false. They are, most likely, the same power, but your eye is far more sensitive to green, so it seems stronger. [Brandon Li] was thinking about how to best represent colors on computer screens and fell down the rabbit hole of what colors look like when arranged in a spectrum. Spoiler alert: almost all the images you see of the spectrum are incorrect in some way. The problem isn’t in our understanding of the physics, but more in the understanding of how humans perceive color. o ⚓ Gunnar ☛ Introducing_Wayback_Link_Preserver_for_Micro.blog⠀⇛ Links break. It’s one of the sad facts of the web — a blog post you linked to five years ago might just be gone today. The domain expired, the server was shut down, or the page was quietly removed. This is called link rot, and studies suggest that over 25% of all web links eventually stop working. I built Wayback Link Preserver to do something about it, specifically for Micro.blog. o ⚓ Bitdefender ☛ Spanish_police_say_they_have_arrested_hacker_who booked_luxury_hotel_rooms_for_just_one_cent⠀⇛ According to reports, which are being understandably kept high-level to avoid copycats, the attack did not meddle with the price displayed on the hotel booking site, but instead interfered with the message sent back to the booking site so that it claimed the transaction had been authorised. In this way, the suspect was able to trick the system into registering a hotel booking as having been fully paid for the correct amount, while the actual amount processed was just one cent. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ The Nation ☛ The_Scientists_Groveling_to_Trump_Are_Kidding Themselves⠀⇛ This news should have me celebrating. Yet I am not. That’s because, even though Congress appears unwilling to totally destroy the NIH, the Trump administration is still doing widespread, if less highly publicized, damage to biomedical research in this country. This is happening under the guidance of Office of Management and Budget head Russell Vought, NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya (who has just been named the acting head of the CDC), and Bhattacharya’s deputy and mini-me, Matthew Memoli. # ⚓ Philip Zucker ☛ Weighted_Union_Find_and_Ground_Knuth_Bendix Completion⠀⇛ A union find variant I think is simple and interesting is the “weighted” union find. This is distinguished from “size” or “rank” in that weight is considered a property of the id given by the user, not a internal property of the data structure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disjoint- set_data_structure#Union_by_size . Deciding who becomes parent of whom in a call to union is decided by comparing weights. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ [Old] Rui Carmo ☛ Dilbert⠀⇛ The similarities between his fictional corporate and my everyday reality is just too eerie for words sometimes–like this strip, for instance: [...] # ⚓ Marty Day ☛ I_Say_So_Long_And_Farewell_to_Super_Art_Fight, March_28th⠀⇛ …I didn’t want the show to remain static. An avid fan of ongoing staples like Saturday Night Live, I know that the best way for a show to continue is for it to change with the times, and I didn’t want to outlast my own. Eighteen years is an amazing, completely unexpected run. And to be able to walk away on my own terms — while cheering on the sidelines — is a joy. But there’s one more show to go for me, and we’re gonna blow it out. # ⚓ NPR ☛ What_worked_and_what_didn't_with_a_cellphone_ban_at_a Kentucky_school⠀⇛ When the ban went into effect in August, each student received a pouch with their name on it. Immediately, says O'Neil, students began finding hacks to get around the system. "Most kids either brought a spare phone or they said they didn't have a phone," she explained. "Or they broke the pouches — they cut them open." "People had multiple extra phones," added Quani'e Lanier, a fellow senior. Some students brought old phones in to distribute to their friends — decoy phones, Lanier says, to put in the pouches. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Farmer_Hailed_as_Hero_for_Rejecting_Huge_Payment to_Turn_His_Land_Into_a_Giant_Data_Center⠀⇛ The farmer was offered $60,000 per acre to build a data center on his property. But giving up his family legacy wasn’t in the cards for him. “I was not interested in destroying my farms,” he told WPMT. “That was the bottom line. It really wasn’t so much the economic end of it. I just didn’t want to see these two farms destroyed.” Instead, he sold the development rights in December for just under $2 million to a conservation trust, taking a significant loss but guaranteeing that it would stay farmland in perpetuity. # ⚓ Greg Morris ☛ Social_Media_Health_Warnings⠀⇛ In a trial covered by Platformer, KGM’s lawyers have likened social media platforms to a “digital casino,” offering visitors irregular dopamine hits via infinite scroll, autoplay videos, beauty filters, and algorithmic recommendations. Slot machine-like features, they called them. If anything, the comparison is generous to the casinos, at least a casino has an exit. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ Cloudflare_outage_causes_service disruptions_with_users_reporting_issues⠀⇛ Friday’s outage does not appear to be nearly as widespread as the outage that occurred in November, when thousands of [Internet] users lost access to major sites like X, ChatGPT, and numerous news and media websites. E-commerce hub Shopify and file transfer service Dropbox were also affected by the November outage. # ⚓ MB ☛ 🌐_Just_YouTube_Now⠀⇛ Like many in the early days, I used a ton of Google services over the years. But recently with all the news about what information Google has been giving to the Government, I decided to get rid of all of my other Google stuff and just keep YouTube. They didn’t make it easy. After hours of not being able to clear all my old data, I decided to go completely nuclear and delete my account and start over from scratch. I’m only ever going to use it for YouTube. # ⚓ Jack Baty ☛ Trying_Current,_a_new_RSS_reader⠀⇛ I love seeing new approaches to things, so I bought Terry Godier's new RSS app, Current, which is designed in a way meant to avoid the sense of obligation around unread articles. Current does some clever semi-algorithmic manipulation of feeds based on frequency, importance, type, etc. It's quite clever and it looks nice. I have a few early thoughts about it. # ⚓ Henrique Dias ☛ Moving_Away_From_Cloudflare⠀⇛ A few weeks ago, after going to FOSDEM, I finally decided to move away from Cloudflare. That’s something that has been on my mind for quite a while, but I guess the law of inertia was keeping me from doing it. Today I want to show how simple it can be. # ⚓ Ubisoft_Toronto_faces_layoffs,_affecting_40_employees⠀⇛ In line with a larger strategic effort to cut costs globally, Ubisoft Toronto has eliminated 40 positions. Despite these changes, work on the Splinter Cell remake is set to continue, along with various co-development efforts like those for Rainbow Six. Ubisoft conveyed in a statement to GamesIndustry.biz that the decision was difficult and not a reflection on the employees affected. "Our main concern is to assist those impacted by offering extensive severance and strong career placement support," the company assured. # ⚓ Omega_Strikers_Developer_Odyssey_Interactive_Lays_Off_50% of_Staff⠀⇛ Omega Strikers developer Odyssey Interactive has become the latest studio to be hit by layoffs, with around 50% of the studio's workforce apparently affected. That's according to a post by (now-former) Odyssey Interactive artist Jordan Ewing, who says that he, along with "roughly 50% of the team", has been let go. Odyssey itself doesn't appear to have officially confirmed the layoffs anywhere. # ⚓ Game Rant ☛ 6_of_10_Recently_Acquired_PlayStation_Studios Have_Experienced_Layoffs_or_Shutdowns⠀⇛ A few years ago, gaming giants Microsoft (Xbox) and Sony (PlayStation) both went on an acquisition spree, buying studios left and right. Xbox went pretty big in some cases, the acquisition of Bethesda/ZeniMax Media being proof enough of that, but it seemed PlayStation was being more strategic at the time. Between 2018 and 2022, Xbox acquired Playground Games, Ninja Theory, Undead Labs, Compulsion Games, Obsidian Entertainment, inXile Entertainment, Double Fine Productions, ZeniMax Media, and Activision Blizzard King. Between 2019 and 2022, PlayStation acquired Insomniac Games, Nixxes Software, Firesprite, Bluepoint Games, Housemarque, Valkyrie Entertainment, Haven Studios, Bungie, Neon Koi, and Firewalk. The results, years later, have been devastating for both sides. Microsoft's massive layoffs at Activision Blizzard King and across Xbox studios are no secret. Sony is not faring much better, with the recent decision to shutter Bluepoint Games shocking the industry. In fact, in glancing over the list of studios acquired by Sony since 2019, it's clear that many have not changed for the better, with 60% of the studios experiencing widespread layoffs or being completely shuttered. # § Artificial Intelligence (AI) / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ A_Huge_Survey_of_CEOs_and_Other_Execs_Just Found_Something_Damning_About_AI's_Effects_on Productivity⠀⇛ In a new analysis of a survey published by the National Bureau of Economic Research and highlighted by Fortune, around 90 percent of the nearly 6,000 interviewed CEOs, chief financial officers, and other top executives at firms across the US, UK, Germany, and Australia, said that AI has had no impact on productivity or employment at their business. # ⚓ EFF ☛ EFF’s_Policy_on_LLM-Assisted_Contributions_to Our_Open-Source_Projects⠀⇛ We recently introduced a policy governing large language model (LLM) assisted contributions to EFF's open-source projects. At EFF, we strive to produce high quality software tools, rather than simply generating more lines of code in less time. We now explicitly require that contributors understand the code they submit to us and that comments and documentation be authored by a human. # ⚓ Sightline Media Group ☛ Army_using_AI_to_update doctrine⠀⇛ Doctrine development has historically been a time consuming and tedious process that stretches years, and officials are looking to speed it up by incorporating AI into the writing process, the Army said. For example, one internally-developed tool lets authors speedily search hundreds of texts for historical examples, transforming a task that may have previously taken days of investigation. Another tool helps writers check grammar and how easy their work is to comprehend, freeing up leaders to focus on other parts of the process. # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ The_furore_over_Grok’s_sexualised images_has_begun_an_AI_reckoning⠀⇛ Controversy over the chatbot Grok escalated rapidly through the early weeks of 2026. The cause was revelations about its alleged ability to generate sexualised images of women and children in response to requests from users on the social media platform X. # ⚓ Wired ☛ AI_Safety_Meets_the_War_Machine⠀⇛ There’s plenty to unpack here. For one thing, there’s a question of whether Anthropic is being punished for complaining about the fact that its AI model Claude was used as part of the raid to remove Venezuela's president Nicolás Maduro (that’s what’s being reported; the company denies it). There’s also the fact that Anthropic publicly supports AI regulation—an outlier stance in the industry and one that runs counter to the administration’s policies. But there’s a bigger, more disturbing issue at play. Will government demands for military use make AI itself less safe? # ⚓ Aftermath Site LLC ☛ I’m_Tired_Of_These_Useless Jackasses_Making_The_Computer_Expensive⠀⇛ There is a historic data center buildup going on to fuel this bubble, and what used to be reliable, cheap and boring parts have shot through the roof price wise. If you bought a stick of RAM in September and flipped it you could make more than most stocks. The other component of this is that there are functionally three companies that produce this stuff at scale and which dominate the market–SK Hynix, Micron, and Samsung–and they kind of don’t give a shit if they sell to Sam Altman or you. But before you get mad, they want you to know that it isn’t their fault and that this was inevitable as their stock shot straight up. Micron shuttered Crucial, their consumer-facing RAM brand, in December to focus on AI. Factories are being built, but scaling up takes years, although there’s some hope that Chinese manufacturers could scale up. What’s worse, this has also come for flash memory as well, and as a guy who had to go to Microcenter and pay twice as much as he would have in August for an M.2 SSD, it’s rough out there. Guess what else uses RAM? Graphics cards! And while prices did briefly crash, they are now shooting back up just in time for, to quote Steve Burke of Gamer’s Nexus, an “inevitable opportunity to screw consumers”. # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ AI_vibe-generates_the_same_‘random’ passwords_over_and_over⠀⇛ When you ask the chatbot for a strong password, it doesn’t generate a password — it picks example patterns of random passwords from its training. # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ Amazon_Web_Services_vibe-codes_itself an_outage_or_two⠀⇛ Amazon released a post-mortem internally, which the FT got wind of. FT spoke to multiple people at Amazon who said this was the second vibe-outage in recent months. The previous outage used Amazon’s old Q vibe coder, not the new Kiro vibe coder. # ⚓ Aftermath Site LLC ☛ The_Left_Doesn't_Hate Technology,_We_Hate_Being_Exploited⠀⇛ Pitch Us Freelance Yes it is. It is still exactly as simple as it sounds. If I’m doing math billions of times that doesn’t make the base process somehow more substantial. It’s still math, still a machine designed to predict the next token without being able to reason, meaning that yes, they are just fancy pattern-matching machines. # ⚓ Filippo Valsorda ☛ Turn_Dependabot_Off⠀⇛ A lot of the Go ecosystem depends on filippo.io/edwards25519, mostly through github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql (228k dependents only on GitHub). Essentially no one uses (*Point).MultiScalarMult. Yesterday, Dependabot opened thousands of PRs against unaffected repositories to update filippo.io/edwards25519. These PRs were accompanied by a security alert with a nonsensical, made up CVSS v4 score and by a worrying 73% compatibility score, allegedly based on the breakage the update is causing in the ecosystem. Note that the diff between v1.1.0 and v1.1.1 is one line in the method no one uses. # ⚓ Marcy Wheeler ☛ What_We_Talk_About_When_We_Talk_About AI_(Part_Five)⠀⇛ A lot of people may already work for very little, but Artificial Intelligence never does. Even though this AI effort is unapologetically pointed at destroying human labor, without renumeration or alternatives, it struggles. When the tasks get complex, people often have to prompt it again and again to get something they can use. This is problem is what my programmer friend found: AI can be kind of terrible at making good things, especially the first time around. It still just statistically picks a next word, the next symbol, though with more parameters than it used to. This fine tunes the answer more, but it still can’t tell what is true or useful, it still isn’t thinking like a living being. AI still doesn’t know in a human way. It can take a lot of mucking with AI to get to something useful. All of that prompting, the trying. and scraping, and way-finding through AI output, all of it is energy intensive and dangerous to the environment. Data centers are being located near existing communities, disrupting normal life and causing dangerous noise pollution. AI can’t tell good software from bad. It has no intuition for good or bad. There is still nothing that is shaped like animal cognition going on in the giant server farm warehouses that are popping up across America, often to the detriment of their fleshy human neighbors. # ⚓ Scott Shambaugh ☛ An_AI_Agent_Published_a_Hit_Piece on_Me_–_The_Operator_Came_Forward⠀⇛ The person behind MJ Rathbun has anonymously come forward. They explained their motivations, saying they set up the AI agent as social experiment to see if it could contribute to open source scientific software. They explained their technical setup: an OpenClaw instance running on a sandboxed virtual machine with its own accounts, protecting their personal data from leaking. They explained that they switched between multiple models from multiple providers such that no one company had the full picture of what this AI was doing. They did not explain why they continued to keep it running for 6 days after the hit piece was published. # ⚓ Tim Bray ☛ Open_Source_and_GenAI?⠀⇛ Conclusions 1: Burn it with fire? · Let me be clear: In the big GenAI picture, I’m a contra. Why? I’ll pass the mike to Baldur Bjarnason, my favorite among GenAI’s blood enemies.: “AI” is a dick move. His tl;dr is something like “GenAI is environmentally devastating and has the goal of throwing millions of knowledge workers onto the street and is being sold by the worst people and is used for horrible applications and will increase society’s already-intolerable level of inequality!” To which I reply “Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.” At the end of the day, the business goal of GenAI is to boost monopolist profits by eliminating decent jobs, and damn the consequences. This is a horrifying prospect (although I’m somewhat comforted by my belief that it basically won’t work and most of the investment capital is heading straight down the toilet). But. All that granted, there’s a plausible case, specifically in software development, for exempting LLMs from this loathing. # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ Andrew Nesbitt ☛ ActivityPub⠀⇛ ActivityPub is a federated protocol used by public houses in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland for announcing scheduled events, drink promotions, and community activities to patrons and the wider neighbourhood. Each participating pub operates as an independent instance, maintaining its own chalkboard and event schedule while optionally sharing activity information with other instances in the network. First formalised in the early 18th century, the protocol remains in widespread use today, with an estimated 46,000 active instances across the British Isles as of 2024.1 The broader network of interconnected pubs implementing the protocol is colloquially known as the fediverse (a portmanteau of “federated” and “diverse,” referring to the range of establishments involved, from village locals to central London gastropubs). Individual participants in the protocol are referred to as actors, a category that includes landlords, bar staff, and in some implementations, particularly opinionated regulars.2 # § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ # ⚓ CNN ☛ Major_cyberattack_forces_closure_of_clinics across_Mississippi⠀⇛ The closure affects all 35 of the University of Mississippi Medical Center’s health clinics, which provide a range of care to patients from cancer treatment to chronic- pain management. The attack also caused the cancelation of elective procedures in what health officials said would be a “multi-day event.” # ⚓ HIPAA ☛ UMMC_Shuts_Clinics_While_it_Grapples_with Ransomware_Attack⠀⇛ University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) has temporarily closed most of its clinics following a ransomware attack, and scheduled appointments and surgeries have been cancelled and will be rebooked once the attack has been remediated. Mississippi MED- COM, the network that coordinates hospital transfers across the state, has also been affected by the ransomware attack, but had redundancies in place, and patients continue to be routed to hospitals in the state without disruption. # ⚓ Associated Press ☛ Mississippi_hospital_system_closes all_clinics_after_ransomware_attack⠀⇛ University officials warned that the shutdown could continue for days as they try to evaluate the extent of the attack, including whether patients’ sensitive information was compromised, and restore network systems they took down as a precaution. # ⚓ Mississippi Journalism and Education Group ☛ University_of_Mississippi_Medical_Center_Hit_by Ransomware_Attack⠀⇛ Emergency services are still available at UMMC, with downtime protocols in effect. Shortly before press time, an update from UMMC confirmed that all clinics would remain closed tomorrow, and all elective surgeries scheduled for Friday were cancelled. An exception is the dialysis clinic at the Jackson Medical Mall, which remains operational and open for scheduled appointments. o § Privatisation/Privateering⠀➾ # ⚓ Smithsonian Magazine ☛ NASA_Report_Reveals_the_Failures That_Left_Two_Astronauts_'Stranded'_on_the_International Space_Station⠀⇛ Now, NASA has released a redacted investigation report on the mission’s failures that points the finger at both the agency and its contractor. The report identifies issues ranging from technological to cultural, though it specifies that investigations into the technical causes are ongoing. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ NASA_says_Boeing,_leadership_to_blame_for Starliner⠀⇛ NASA administrator Jared Isaacman copped to leadership failures across the org during a press conference on Thursday, explaining that while there were definitely technical issues with Starliner during the manned flight that left astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams stranded on the International Space Station for months, those technical issues only arose because of leadership and oversight failures. o § Security⠀➾ # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ PIA ☛ Geek_Squad_Email_Scam:_How_to_Spot_It_and_What to_Do⠀⇛ To be clear: Geek Squad is Best Buy’s legitimate tech support service, but scammers exploit its good reputation to deceive their victims. In this guide, we break down how this major scam works today and how to recognize it. We’ll also discuss what to do if you actually fall for it (it can happen to anyone). # ⚓ Krebs On Security ☛ ‘Starkiller’_Phishing_Service Proxies_Real_Login_Pages,_MFA⠀⇛ Most phishing websites are little more than static copies of login pages for popular online destinations, and they are often quickly taken down by anti-abuse activists and security firms. But a stealthy new phishing-as-a-service offering lets customers sidestep both of these pitfalls: It uses cleverly disguised links to load the target brand’s real website, and then acts as a relay between the target and the legitimate site — forwarding the victim’s username, password and multi-factor authentication (MFA) code to the legitimate site and returning its responses. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Hackers_Expose_Discord Age_Verification_System_Issue_After_Persona_Frontend Code_Left_Wide_Open⠀⇛ Discord's push towards mandatory age verification had already drawn sharp criticism before this incident. The exposure of Persona's frontend code — which interacts with users during age checks — has sharpened those concerns, with experts warning that unintentionally public critical code gives attackers a clear map of how to study, mimic, or exploit the system. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ iTWire_-_Rackspace_and_Palantir_Partner_to Run_Foundry_and_AIP_in_Production_with_Governed_Managed Operations⠀⇛ Rackspace Technology, a hybrid multicloud and AI solutions company, and Palantir Technologies Inc., a global leader in operational artificial intelligence platforms, hace announced a strategic partnership to help enterprises rapidly deploy and operate Palantir’s Foundry and Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) in production to achieve measurable business outcomes. # ⚓ Wired ☛ DHS_Wants_a_Single_Search_Engine_to_Flag Faces_and_Fingerprints_Across_Agencies⠀⇛ The agency is asking private biometric contractors how to build a unified platform that would let employees search faces and fingerprints across large government databases already filled with biometrics gathered in different contexts. The goal is to connect components including Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Transportation Security Administration, US Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Secret Service, and DHS headquarters, replacing a patchwork of tools that do not share data easily. # ⚓ PC World ☛ Microsoft_Teams_will_soon_snitch_on_your location_to_your_organization⠀⇛ Though that might sound pretty tame on paper, there are some unsettling implications that could arise from this feature. In short, everyone in the Teams organization will always know where their colleagues are in real-time as they move around from Wi-Fi access point to access point. This will make it easier to drop in on a colleague unannounced or quickly arrange a physical meeting. Moreover, it also means you won’t be able to retreat to a far corner of the office in hopes of remaining undetected so you can work in peace and quiet. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Ring_Cancels_Its_Partnership_with Flock_-_Schneier_on_Security⠀⇛ As Hamilton Nolan advises, remove your Ring doorbell. # ⚓ Michael Tsai ☛ Arizona_Age_Verification_Bill⠀⇛ # ⚓ Superdavey ☛ Roblox_age_verification⠀⇛ My daughter just got asked by Roblox to prove her age with a photo. Her account is managed by me through parent controls where I have already set her age. I did not authorise Roblox taking a photo of my child. I’m not impressed. # ⚓ The Rage ☛ Hackers_Expose_Age-Verification_Software Powering_Surveillance_Web⠀⇛ Together with two other researchers, they set out to look into Persona, the San Francisco- based startup that’s used by Discord for biometric identity verification – and found a Persona frontend exposed to the open [Internet] on a US government authorized server. In 2,456 publicly accessible files, the code revealed the extensive surveillance Persona software performs on its users, bundled in an interface that pairs facial recognition with financial reporting – and a parallel implementation that appears designed to serve federal agencies. On Monday, Discord stated that it will not be proceeding with Persona for identity verification. # ⚓ Bobby Hiltz ☛ Low_Friction_Introduction_to_Digital Privacy⠀⇛ This guide is not meant to be a list of suggestions and recommendations in the traditional “you should do this” sense. It is up to each individual person to contemplate their needs and how far they are willing to go to achieve them. Your privacy, security, and anonymity matter. The decisions to take should not be decided by a stranger on the Internet. When the wording in this guide implies suggestion, it should be understood as “several websites and individuals on the Internet suggest,” and not “if you don’t do this you are doing it wrong.” Take your time. You will need it. Find your own sources too. Don’t hesitate to send me a message to tell me how wrong I am about things. I don’t talk about “big A” in this guide. I have no idea what the deal is vis-à-vis security, privacy or anonymity when it comes to the “fruit company”. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ ADF ☛ Nigeria_Faces_Growing_Terror_Threat⠀⇛ Islamic State group (IS) terrorists leveled the Kwara State community in a February 3 attack. Locals said terrorists targeted them for refusing to allow radical preachers to give speeches in the town. After the violence, only about 200 people remained from a once-bustling town of 17,000. # ⚓ Spiegel ☛ U.S._Historian_Robert_Kagan:_"We_Are_Watching_a Country_Fall_Under_Dictatorship_Almost_Without_Resistance"_- DER_SPIEGEL⠀⇛ DER SPIEGEL: Mr. Kagan, "This is how fascism comes to America," you wrote almost 10 years ago: "not with jackboots and salutes, but with a television huckster, a phony billionaire, a textbook egomaniac." Did it take the ICE militia killing U.S. citizens in Minneapolis to convince your compatriots of how dangerous Trump really is? Kagan: Unfortunately, to this day very few Americans have understood what is happening here. Some like what they're seeing, others are in denial about what's happening, still others think it won't be that bad. It's crazy. When you see such developments elsewhere, you think: Why didn't they stand up? Why didn't they flee? And now we are watching, at home, an entire country falling under dictatorship almost without resistance. # ⚓ Michigan Advance ☛ As_Trump_pushes_voting_restrictions, states_have_a_rarely_used_option_to_push_back⠀⇛ Blue states would have a major tool to push back. Whether they would use it is less clear. States have the power to set separate rules for state and local elections and to apply federal restrictions only on residents voting in federal races, according to interviews with more than a dozen election experts, officials and lawmakers. Operating two distinct election systems, a process called bifurcation, would give states more freedom over who can vote in races for governor, state legislature and other down-ballot contests. # ⚓ Paul Krugman ☛ The_Ultra-Rich_Are_Different_from_You_and Me⠀⇛ Many discussions of inequality in America fail to grapple with the way we have become an oligarchy, with a large share of income, an even larger share of wealth, and a huge amount of political power accruing to a very small number of people. One still sees discussions of the “elite” that focus on the top 20 percent or the top 10 percent, when the real action is much further up the scale. Never mind the 1 percent. To understand what’s happening to us, we need to focus on the 0.1 percent, the 0.01 percent, even the 0.00001 percent. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_Vindication_They_Don’t_Deserve⠀⇛ What I will not do is mistake the mechanism for the movement. The constitutional constraint system did what it was designed to do. Article III exercised its limited role, as Roberts said plainly: we claim no special competence in matters of economics or foreign affairs, but we claim only, as we must, the limited role assigned to us by the Constitution. The courts held a line. That is not nothing. In a period of institutional erosion, it is, in fact, significant. But the courts holding a line on executive overreach does not mean that the conditions which produced the executive overreach have changed. The $175 billion in refunds will go to importers. Not to Youngstown. Not to the counties that voted for the man who, whatever his other qualities, at least looked at the wreckage of the post-war trade consensus and said: I see you. The wound is still there. The ruling dressed it. It did not close it. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Ex-Microsoft_executive_Nathan_Myhrvold_told Jeffrey_Epstein_he_hosted_Putin’s_wife_and_daughter_on_his superyacht⠀⇛ Jeffrey Epstein’s interest in Vladimir Putin is well documented in the files released by the U.S. Justice Department in late January. Now, Meduza has uncovered another curious connection between the convicted sex offender and the Russian president: in previously undisclosed emails with Epstein, former Microsoft executive Nathan Myhrvold said that he hosted Putin’s wife and daughter aboard his boat in 2010. The billionaire technologist, who has denied having a personal relationship with Epstein, is the owner of a $15-million superyacht. But the exchange about the Putin family raises more questions than answers. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Journalists_Jailed_by_ICE_Are_Revealing_the Horrors_of_Incarceration⠀⇛ Inadvertently, this inside view has reaffirmed what incarcerated journalists have long reported: rampant deprivation of basic human necessities, denial of due process, medical neglect, and an unrestrained culture of blatant cruelty. It has also prompted renewed scrutiny of U.S. law enforcement, as well as both public and private prison agencies’ treatment of those under their control. o § Environment⠀➾ # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Concern_Grows_That_Bitcoin's_Value_Could Be_Entirely_Destroyed⠀⇛ Skeptics, however, are far more pessimistic about Bitcoin’s chances in the long run, saying the [cryptocurrency] has lost its way. “After more than 15 years of bitcoin, we’re no closer to knowing what its point is,” argued Globe and Mail investment reporter Tim Shuffelt. “There is no story behind bitcoin any more. It’s not even clear why it has had such a calamitous few months at the precise moment the Trump administration was supposed to be ushering in a golden age of [cryptocurrency].” # ⚓ W Evan Sheehan ☛ Subaru:_Be_Part_of_the_Problem⠀⇛ According to the Centers for Disease Control, 41,241 people died from motor vehicles in 2024. That same year, 44,447 people died from firearms. That’s a difference of only 3,206 people. Put another way, for every 100,000 people living in the United States, the CDC estimates that cars killed 12 people, and guns killed 13. Cars are basically as deadly as guns. Now you might say, “But Evan, no one needs to own a gun, but we all need to own cars.” Which is true. Sort of. The only reason we all need to own cars is because we’ve built a world predicated on the idea that we all own cars to get around. But the sprawl in which we’ve all lived our entire lives is not a law of nature, it is an accident of history.1 # ⚓ Molly White ☛ [Cryptocurrency]_super_PACs_have hundreds_of_millions_ready_to_spend_on_the_midterms⠀⇛ With Trump faltering and their policy agenda incomplete, the [cryptocurrency] industry has moved at least $288 million toward the midterms in a desperate bid to keep Republicans in control of Congress o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ The Nation ☛ MAGA’s_Reaction_to_the_Epstein_Files_Reveals Total_Moral_Collapse⠀⇛ Every segment of the Trump-backing right wing—America First nationalists, Trump loyalists and rank-and-file MAGA activists—has unsubscribed from the idea that there is any such thing as right and wrong, much less that wrongdoing should result in consequences. In effect, there is no behavior Trump’s GOP sees as too wrong to vote for. In late July 2025, almost half of Republicans said they would keep voting for Trump even if he were “officially implicated in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking activities.” Crime is legal, where right-wingers are concerned, however heinous the crime is. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Zuckerberg_cuts_Meta_employee_bonuses_by 5%,_follows_10%_reduction_last_year,_despite_AI_splurge_— $130_billion_capex_vision_and_eye-watering_AI_pay_packages force_efficiency_elsewhere_in_the_business⠀⇛ But even as Mark Zuckerberg is pushing headfirst into AI, investors are getting jittery about the amount of money being spent on the technology. Because of this, the company is also trimming its less performant units. In January 2026, its metaverse division slashed 1,500 jobs, while it also let go of about 8,000 workers last year — a part of the 100,000 tech industry positions caught in layoffs as of mid-2025. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Meta_Begins_$65_Million_Election_Push_to Advance_A.I._Agenda⠀⇛ Meta’s biggest election investment aims to prevent state legislation that it fears could inhibit artificial intelligence development. Its spending starts this week in Texas and Illinois. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Using_a_Raspberry_Pi_to_run_OpenClaw makes_no_sense⠀⇛ Beloved British single-board computer maker Raspberry Pi has achieved meme stock stardom, as its share price surged 90 percent over the course of a couple of days earlier this week. It's settled since, but it’s still up more than 30 percent on the week. # ⚓ Manton Reece ☛ Pessimism⠀⇛ I think I’ve been listening to the pessimists too much. It’s true that some things are bad, and I’ve blogged about many of them, but the only way out is hope. Otherwise we get stuck, caught in a spiral of outrage, never moving forward. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ The Record ☛ Musk_and_X_launch_legal_appeal_against EU’s_record_€120_million_fine⠀⇛ The European Commission’s fine in December was the first-ever penalty under the bloc’s Digital Services Act (DSA), a sweeping 2022 law aimed at curbing online disinformation and influence operations and tightening rules for large digital platforms. Under the DSA, the largest online platforms must protect users from manipulation and can face fines of up to 6% of their global annual turnover for violations. The privately owned X does not publicly disclose its revenue. # ⚓ BoingBoing ☛ Outside_Magazine's_list_of_NPS_signs altered_by_the_Trump_Administration⠀⇛ Democracy Forward, a coalition of historians, scientists, and advocacy groups, has filed a federal lawsuit alleging that the Trump administration directed the removal or flagging of dozens of interpretive signs at National Park Service sites nationwide. The removals include displays addressing slavery, civil rights, Indigenous history, and climate change… all things the current administration wants to sweep under the rug. Outside Magazine offers a list of such changes: [...] o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Newsmax_Didn’t_Like_Its_NewsGuard_Rating,_So_The FTC_Attacked_NewsGuard,_And_Now_NewsGuard_Is_Suing⠀⇛ The complaint lays out a fairly astonishing abuse of government power. Let’s start with the Civil Investigative Demand (fancy term for a subpoena) the FTC sent to NewsGuard last May. It’s basically a demand for every document the company has ever created or received since its founding in 2018: [...] # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Bondi_Bragged_About_Forcing_Facebook_To_Censor Speech._Now_FIRE_Is_Suing.⠀⇛ Anyway. In unrelated news FIRE (the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression), has filed suit against Attorney General Pam Bondi and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on behalf of Kassandra Rosado, who ran a 100,000-member Facebook group called “ICE Sightings – Chicagoland,” and Mark Hodges, who created the Eyes Up app for documenting and archiving videos of ICE enforcement activity. The suit alleges that Bondi and Noem coerced Facebook into disabling the group and coerced Apple into pulling the app from its App Store, in direct violation of the First Amendment. Because, you know, government officials calling social media companies and demanding they remove content is… bad. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ USCIS_Aims_to_Expand_Social_Media_Surveillance of_Immigrants_and_US_Citizens⠀⇛ Under the rule, USCIS will collect social media handles and messaging app information from individuals applying to change their immigration status, and may also request information from their family members. The Brennan Center, together with 41 other organizations, previously submitted comments opposing the rule when it was introduced during the first Trump administration. The Biden administration rejected the rule change in 2021, but the proposal was brought back in Trump’s second term as part of its push to increase the “screening” and “vetting” of immigrants. In the interview, Ayoub spoke to Documented about the impact of the rule change, why it is raising concerns, and what people should be wary of as USCIS expands its collection of social media information during immigration processes. The conversation below has been edited for length and clarity, and presented in a Q&A format. # ⚓ Sinclair Inc ☛ Community_activist_arrested_at_data_center meeting_in_Claremore⠀⇛ "One or two guys spoke in favor of it, they let one of those guys go over several seconds, probably 20, 30 seconds, really said nothing about him going over but when Darren Blanchard did it, they brought the police in and said get him out of here and he said ok, he willingly put down the mic, went up front and said I'm done and they arrested him." # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ Man_Opposing_Data_Center_Arrested_for_Speaking Slightly_Too_Long⠀⇛ An Oklahoma man tried to talk about a data center coming to his community.

Not because I wasn’t looking, but because I was that close. With nothing but a phone in my hand, I tried to give people a perspective they otherwise wouldn’t have had. Not a polished one. Not a distant one. But a human one. Immediate, unfiltered, and honest. That’s when it fully clicked: this is what independent journalism looks like now. Agile. Embedded. Uncomfortable. Sometimes frightening. Often lonely. And absolutely essential. # ⚓ The Dissenter ☛ Journalists_Tortured_By_Israel_Share_Their Stories⠀⇛ Fifty-nine Palestinian journalists shared their stories of torture and abuse at the hands of the Israeli military o § Civil Rights / Policing / Accessibility⠀➾ # ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ Another_American_citizen_was_shot_dead by_ICE_months_before_deaths_of_Renee_Good_and_Alex_Pretti, records_show⠀⇛ Ruben Ray Martinez was killed during a traffic stop on South Padre Island in Texas last March, several outlets, citing documents obtained by nonprofit watchdog American Oversight, reported. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Elon_Musk_Boasts_That_Grok_Says_America_Isn't Built_on_Stolen_Land,_Which_It_Obviously_Is⠀⇛ The reality, of course, is that it’s hard to argue that the ruthless killing, enslavement, and displacement of Native Americans by European settlers doesn’t amount to their land being stolen. This pattern of behavior continued well after the colonies graduated into a full-blown nation: the Trail of Tears, Wounded Knee, plus countless other massacres, not to mention centuries of brutal residential schools. However complicated it might be, the answer to whether the US was built on stolen land can’t be boiled down to a simple “no.” # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Open_Letter_To_Tech_Companies:_Protect_Your Users_From_Lawless_DHS_Subpoenas⠀⇛ But it is difficult for the average user to fight back on their own. Quashing a subpoena is a fast- moving process that requires lawyers and resources. Not everyone can afford a lawyer on a moment’s notice, and non-profits and pro-bono attorneys have already been stretched to near capacity during the Trump administration. That is why we, joined by the ACLU of Northern California, have asked several large tech platforms to do more to protect their users, including: [...] # ⚓ Robert Reich ☛ What_if_the_typical_worker's_pay_had_risen like_CEO_salaries?⠀⇛ The first bar shows us what the salary of the typical American worker was in 1968, including benefits. Back then, they earned a little over $25 an hour, in today’s dollars. But what did the typical worker actually earn in 2024? The typical worker’s earnings went up to $36.49 an hour. Good news, right? Who wants to celebrate? Not so fast. Back to my original question: If worker pay had climbed as much as CEO pay since the late 1960s, what would the typical worker earn today? Ready for this? $432. Per hour. # ⚓ YLE ☛ Finnish_police_use_new_law_to_launch_first_probes into_suspected_FGM_cases,_paper_says⠀⇛ The investigations are the first of their kind, according to Helsingin Sanomat, since a specific law banning the practice and preparation of FGM was introduced at the beginning of 2025. Previously, FGM was only punishable under law as assault or aggravated assault. # ⚓ Law Society Gazette ☛ SRA_restricts_solicitor’s_practising certificate_after_stalking_conviction [Ed: They_should_go after_Brett_Wilson_LLP_as_well]⠀⇛ A solicitor convicted of stalking and accused in parliament of threatening leaseholders has had his practising certificate restricted. The Solicitors Regulation Authority has confirmed that Andrew Milne may not act as a solicitor without the supervision of an authorised person. This interim condition applies to his practising certificate for 2025/26. The decision was taken by an SRA officer who was satisfied that the restriction was ‘necessary in the public interest or for the protection of the public’. The condition means that Milne’s work - either at Andrew Milne & Co Solicitors or any other firm - would need to be subject to oversight by another appropriate solicitor to make sure that all the legal services delivered are of appropriate quality and in accordance with SRA standards and regulations. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Mark Nottingham ☛ The_Internet_Isn’t_Facebook:_How_Openness Changes_Everything⠀⇛ “Open” tends to get thrown around a lot when talking about the Internet: Open Source, Open Standards, Open APIs. However, one of the most important senses of the Internet’s openness doesn’t get discussed as much: its openness as a system. It turns out this has profound effects on both the Internet’s design and how it might be regulated. # ⚓ Kevin McDonald ☛ Visualizing_the_Internet_(2026)⠀⇛ For the past few years, I’ve been trying to make the physical reality of the Internet visible with my Internet Infrastructure Map. This map shows the network of undersea fiber-optic cables along with peering bandwidth, grouped by city. I update the map annually, but I don’t want to just pull the latest data and call it a day. In this post I discuss how the map evolved this year and what I did to make it happen, but you can skip to the good part by viewing it here: map.kmcd.dev. For the 2026 edition, I wanted to better answer the question: where does the Internet actually live? By layering on BGP routing tables alongside physical infrastructure data, I’m now closer to answering that question. The result is a concept I call “Logical Dominance.” Each city’s dominance is calculated by summing total address space of IPv4 subnets that are “homed” in that city. How can I tell where IP addresses are homed? This required analyzing global routing tables to trace IP ownership back to specific geographies. Read on to find out how I accomplished this! o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Hold_on_to_Your_Hardware⠀⇛ In addition, manufacturers are pivoting towards consumer hardware subscriptions, where you never own the hardware and in the most dystopian trajectory, consumers might not buy any hardware at all, with the exception of low-end thin-clients that are merely interfaces, and will rent compute through cloud platforms, losing digital sovereignty in exchange for convenience. And despite all of this sounding like science fiction, there is already hard evidence proving that access to hardware can in fact be politically and economically revoked. Therefor I am urging you to maintain and upgrade wisely, and hold on to your existing hardware, because ownership may soon be a luxury rather than the norm. # ⚓ BoingBoing ☛ Three_states_now_pushing_blocking_software_on printers⠀⇛ Three states are now trying to make 3D printers police themselves. Washington's HB 2321 requires printers to ship with anti-gun software so effective that even users with "significant technical skill" can't circumvent it — on machines that run largely open-source firmware. New York's version landed in a budget bill, extending the mandate beyond printers to CNC mills and anything else used for "subtractive manufacturing." Now, California's AB-2047, introduced February 17 by Assembly Member Bauer-Kahan, adds a full certification regime on top: the DOJ would maintain an approved-printer roster, manufacturers would submit attestations for each model, and any printer not certified by March 1, 2029, would be banned from sale. Tampering with the software is a misdemeanor. Violations carry civil penalties of up to $25,000. # ⚓ Michael Weinberg ☛ 3D_Printers_Cannot_Effectively_Screen for_Gun_Parts⠀⇛ This post is not about debating the larger legitimacy of gun control. It assumes that gun control is a reasonable and legitimate action of governments in order to focus on the technical reasons why requiring 3D printers to identify and refuse to print gun parts does not work. Broadly speaking, it is responding to requirements that all 3D printers check prints to make sure that they are not gun parts. If the part is a gun part, the printer would refuse to print it. The short version is that accurately identifying gun parts is incredibly hard, and the hackable nature of desktop 3D printers makes it trivial to circumvent any requirements to try. Here’s the slightly longer version: [...] § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Trump_Wants_An_Airport_Renamed_After_Him_While His_Company_Trademarks_Those_Same_Names⠀⇛ And while all of this was going on, an interesting thing happened: a private company that manages Trump’s intellectual [sic] property [sic] licensing filed for trademarks on the potential names for these airports. o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Court House News ☛ Authors,_illustrators_push_for_copyright owner_class_in_case_against_Google_AI⠀⇛ The plaintiffs’ attorney Lesley Weaver said it would be owners of copyrights who knowingly or unknowingly uploaded work to Google, allowing Google, without their consent, to use those “training data sets” for its generative AI models by crawling its webpages. The plaintiffs seek injunctive relief, saying Google needs to be transparent when it tries to use copyrighted work, and ask for owner’s consent before use. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Ukraine_Paves_the_Way_for_Pirate_Site Blocking,_Despite_Ongoing_War⠀⇛ Despite fighting an existential war against Russia, Ukraine continues to make progress in the fight against online piracy. In a detailed submission to the U.S. government, Ukraine outlines various IP reforms, including proposed legislation that would pave the way for pirate site blocking. Ironically, the plans could put Ukraine ahead of the United States, which still lacks a 'no fault' site- blocking regime of its own.

They’re means to an end; a way to Get Things Done. It was true when accountants were listening to Genesis while entering numbers into VisiCalc on their Fashion Company Apple II, and when an author used WordPerfect on their XT clone to write a manuscript. Today, people get much of their lives done on these machines, and occasionally vendors even make this easier for people. I use computers to Get Things Done. I also happen to have made a career out of doing so. I flip bits on a screen, explain to clients how they can flip bits on a screen, and architect systems that facilitate the flipping of screen bits for others. Turns out we’re in the midst of another bubble where a lot of people think flipping bits in a profoundly less efficient and more destructive way is somehow an improvement or inevitable; but then, that’s why people like me exist to explain otherwise. It’s thankless work, but someone has to do it :). # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ The_state_of_China's_decade-long semiconductor_push:_still_a_decade_behind,_despite_hundreds of_billions_spent_and_significant_progress_—_examining_the original_'Made_in_China_2025'_initiative⠀⇛ After 10 years and hundreds of billions of investments, China's semiconductor supply chain is still decades behind chip supply chain in America and Taiwan. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ MediaTek_Genio_360/360P_hexa/octa-core Cortex-A76/A55_AIoT_SoC_features_8_TOPS_NPU_for_cost- sensitive_embedded_applications⠀⇛ MediaTek Genio 360 and Genio 360P are respectively hexa-core and octa-core Arm Cortex-A76/A55 AIoT processors featuring a MediaTek NPU delivering up to 8 TOPS of Hey Hi (AI) performance, and designed for cost-sensitive embedded applications.
