⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Aaron Swartz Has Already Explained What
Reddit/Conde Nast Meant to Him and Why We Should All Avoid Reddit If We Value
Software Freedom⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧

Aaron Swartz did not start Reddit and Conde Nast keeps lying about this
posthumously. It_exploits_the_dead_for_marketing_(capital).


"That so many mistake Reddit for a discussion forum is a tragedy," an associate
has noted_in_response_to_this_quitting_(good_riddance), adding that we really
should link to the_Aaron_Swartz_blog_post_about_it in the recent post.


For completeness we just want to remind readers how Mr. Swartz really felt at
this company, in his own_words: "We’ve been spared most of the brunt of it, but
their IT policy is pretty scary. There’s a company Internet connection, which
routes everything through the IT HQ in Delaware, presumably the better to spy
on us on. On Day 1 they took our laptops and “backed up” the drives to ensure
they had a copy of all our data. (We scurried to get our MP3 collections and
worse off first.)"


Also: "The company laptop is necessary to read our company email which, being
on a Microsoft Exchange server, requires a special Microsoft email client to
read. You also need to be on a company laptop to access the company network,
where you can log into a maze of PeopleSoft web sites to file expense reports
and change your health benefits."


They brought him to tears: "By lunch time I had literally locked myself in a
bathroom stall and started crying. I can’t imagine staying sane with someone
buzzing in my ear all day, let alone getting any actual work done."


Not tears of joy. █

They cite SneakerSO, who leaked a lot of information before, e.g. in:

Last year we kept saying that 2026 is likely the last year of XBox (the
console).

I used_to_be_a_hyper-productive_coder; these days I do more thinking and
writing as I_feel_like_it's_better_use_of_my_time (code is abundant anyway)


Today the_shells are out in full force. We now estimate there must be about 40
of them living in the tank, maybe as many as 60.


I love staring at them. I find it all calming and relaxing. While watching them
- an activity I grew fond of along with birdwatching - I think of topics to
cover and how to most clearly cover these topics. Articulating ideas isn't just
a matter of banging on the keyboard; formulating ideas properly can take a long
time and lots of rephrasing, discussion, consultation with other people.
Associates of Techrights contribute a great deal. We are a growing force and
our impact grows, as does respect for what he have to say (our detractors are
feeble and pathetic as they run out of compelling counter-arguments).


Volume of words is without merit/value in an age of LLM slop. You would only
ever receive compliments/flattery for essays if you pour blood and sweat into
them; slop is bland, generic, and typically lacking insight. Essays with input
from various different minds convert collective comprehension into sensible
ideas. Based on trials and errors, such ideas would evolve and improve over
time. It's a process of refinement and effective advocacy requires polished
messaging.


So far we've had a very good year - something that not many people can say
because of conflicts, hunger, and politics of intolerance. I've found a lot of
time to think and write down my thoughts - resulting_in_more_original_articles
than_in_any_past_year.


Envious people resent this and would do anything they can to interfere. It's
not a new thing; this_has_gone_on_since_2021. But the harder that attack us,
the more they legitimise us and our message. And they also broaden our
audience. If as a critic you choose to be at your wits' end, you'll make many
unforced errors and score own goals. █

Two weeks ago: Biggest_"AI_Companies"_(Meta,_Alphabet,_Microsoft)_Borrowed_
(Additional_Debt)_About_$100,000,000,000_in_a_Year


About seven hours ago Dr. Andy Farnell released an interesting_new_article
about_robots.txt_files and how raiders that wear "AI" (slop) on their sleeve
basically violate the rules of the web (and Net) to engage in mass plagiarism.


Quoting Andy:


     It is common for "AI" training crawlers to ignore website preferences
     and plunder content. There is no recourse to any internet police or
     authority. Crawler bots are destroying small websites while stealing
     content to enrich giant corporations. Such computer intrusion and
     theft requires robust and novel responses since security measures
     cannot reasonably distinguish legitimate visitors from burglars.


     It's become common to lay down "digital poison" and booby traps to
     fend off these devouring interlopers.


     In most jurisdictions, for physical intruder deterrence and animal
     control (bots might well be considered nuisance animals), it's okay
     to set up hazards at the boundary of a property if prominent warning
     signs are displayed.


     Defences cannot be hidden, elaborate, cruel and unusual. Anti-climb
     spikes on top of your fence are visible and commonplace enough,
     whereas it's probably not reasonable and proportionate to impale
     Amazon delivery drivers on the sharpened bamboo sticks of a Viet Cong
     punji pit because they strayed off the path at your north London
     flat.


     On the other hand, one would not reasonably make rat poison smell and
     taste disagreeable to rats in order to 'humanely' warn them. Since
     the invader is now presumed artificially "intelligent" and capable of
     "machine learning" they need memorable stimuli to learn from. To the
     extent they are capable of reasoning, learning and simulating "fear"
     (caution), bots must expect to 'fear' entering a digital property by
     themselves experiencing or seeing other bots meet with extremely
     negative outcomes. Picture a row of bot "heads on spikes" adorning
     the entrance to your website.

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Invitation to all staff - General Assembly on Thursday 19
February⦈


The Staff Union of the European Patent Office (SUEPO) in Munich has just issued
a statement to staff; many_are_on_strike_today, as planned.


The message says:


     Dear SUEPO members,
     Dear Colleagues,


     Today’s warning strike (Monday 23 February) and continued
     participation in industrial action are not symbolic gestures. They
     are practical tools that have already delivered measurable gains.


     Divided, we fall. United, we shift the negotiation in our favour. Now
     is the time to stand firm, united and solidary.


The longer publication, a one-page 'flyer' of sorts, gives some actual (hard)
figures and concrete, measurable things:


     INTERNATIONALE GEWERKSCHAFT IM EUROPÄISCHEN PATENTAMT
     STAFF UNION OF THE EUROPEAN PATENT OFFICE
     UNION SYNDICALE DE L'OFFICE EUROPEEN DES BREVETS


     Ortssektion München
     Local section Munich
     Section locale de Munich


     23 February 2026
     su26010mp – 0.2.1


     § Industrial Actions Deliver
     Progress Comes From Pressure⠀➾


     What_happened_until_now
     Over the past six years, our salaries have been eroded in real terms
     by -1% per year — a total loss of -6.8% in purchasing power. While
     the salary adjustment procedure (SAP) has failed to compensate for
     increases in costs of living, our productivity has increased by +11%
     in the last three years alone. We have delivered more, with less.


     In January, we began industrial action: no granting of patents,
     focusing on searches and intermediate actions. After the first
     actions and in view of the strike on 30 January, management added in
     their proposal a yearly cash lump sums to “mitigate” any potential
     difference with local inflation. These lump sums do not correct the
     salary scales and are calculated without any compound effect. They
     are largely insufficient to compensate for local inflation. They show
     however that management has understood they have an issue of loss of
     purchasing power with their proposal. Projected over the last six
     years, these lump sums would amount to approximately €4,000 for a G8
     (1) employee according to a simulation over the 12-year period 2014-
     2025. This corresponds to a compensation of around twenty days of
     strike days..


     This did not happen by chance. This happened because staff acted
     together. Without the pressure created by industrial action and
     strike participation, management would have had no incentive to
     improve their proposal. But their current proposal is still far from
     satisfactory.


     Partial compensation is not full compensation. Temporary lump sums do
     not correct structural loss of purchasing power. If we stop now, we
     risk giving the impression that peanuts are sufficient to quiet us.


     Where_we_stand
     At present, the production counter is -1,560 products below plan.
     This signals dissatisfaction, but it is not yet strong enough to
     influence the Administrative Council ahead of its March meeting or
     the June decision. To achieve a fair outcome that actually at least
     maintains purchasing power, we must intensify our efforts. This means
     maintaining and strengthening the industrial action, including now
     also slowing searches at least until the next Administrative Council
     end of March, and, if necessary, until the decision is taken in the
     Administrative Council meeting in June.


     Participation in the industrial actions and strikes is not a waste of
     time or money. It is an investment in our future in stopping and
     restoring what has been steadily eroded over six years. The progress
     already achieved demonstrates that management responds to strength
     and clear, united signals.


     What_next
     Today’s warning strike (Monday 23 February) and continued
     participation in industrial action are not symbolic gestures. They
     are practical tools that have already delivered measurable gains. The
     question before us is whether we accept peanuts or continue,
     together, until we achieve a satisfactory result.


     Divided, we fall. United, we shift the negotiation in our favour. Now
     is the time to stand firm, united and solidary.


     SUEPO Munich


Maybe tomorrow, like_the_last_time, they will contact the heads of delegations.

It is 9AM CET


Last month almost_1,600_EPO_workers_went_on_strike and today they (and maybe
many more) go on strike. If these actions persist, the Alicante Mafia might get
"marching orders" by the end of the year.


The EPO status quo is untenable. If Europe's_second-largest_institution_covers
up_cocaine_use_(in_the_management), then Europe's reputation is at severe risk.


Remember those people are meant to be seen as the arbiters of law. In practice,
these managers are more like a cult and a mafia (which is what_workers_call_the
management). even the judges are appointed and perpetually controlled by this
mafia. █

Tille & Debian denounce Branden Robinson⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧

Feb 22, 2026


Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in January 1933.


On 10 February 1933, Hitler gave his first official speech as Chancellor.


He used the occasion to attack his predecessors for everything that had
transpired against German interests since the end of World War One.


Many copies of the speech are_available_online:


     That’s what Germany looks like today! Under the rule of these parties
     who have ruined our Volk for fourteen years. The only question is,
     for how much longer?


     ...


     And this brings us thus to our sixth item, clearly the goal of our
     struggle: the preservation of this Volk and this soil, the
     preservation of this Volk for the future, in the realization that
     this alone can constitute our reason for being.


The word Volk, which means People or Population, appears forty two times in the
speech.


On 10 February 2026, the Debianist leader Andreas_Tille reprimanded one of his
predecessors G._Branden_Robinson, just as Adolf Hitler had reprimanded the
predecessors who ruled Germany in the fourteen years before the Nazis took
power.


While Hitler claimed to represent the Volk / People, Andreas_Tille claims to
represent the user, whoever that is, in this_spiteful_reply:


     ... directly harms our ability to serve our users


     ...


     the project owes first and foremost to its users.


     ...


Andreas_Tille was, on two successive occasions, elected_on_Hitler's_birthday.
Go figure.

The teachings of Abrahamic religions paint themselves with a 'nice-sounding'
brush such as caring, sharing, and solidarity. They also, however, encourage
all_sorts_of_intolerance_against_those_who_reject_"God" (with terms such as
torment, sin, and heretic).


Religion is not the subject of this article. The article deals with a
demonising misframing of Software Freedom, which sometimes devolves into
atheism-bashing or even_antisemitism.


Software Freedom is not grounded and was never grounded in religious ideas.
It's more to do with science, peer review, and sharing of knowledge. Religions
tend to obstruct scrutiny (even pedophilia gets covered up in the "major"
religions).


Software Freedom was rooted in a culture once known as "hacker culture", either
at MIT or institutions that it collaborated with not only for Computer Science
research but for many scientific endeavours which required a computer (for
efficient, precise, large-scale computation).


Be highly sceptical of people who resort to analogies like these, e.g.
comparing Software Freedom to a "religion". Many of the most ardent proponents
of Software Freedom are non-religious and generally reject superstition.


It's hardly surprising that some of the loudest opponents of Software Freedom
and its luminaries also disregard or bend facts. They have a religion: money. █

2 weeks ago: In_Case_You've_Missed_It_(ICYMI),_Google's_Debt_More_Than_Doubled
in_a_Year


On at least 3 occasions in the past Google tried to hire me. It just found me
on the Net and then contacted me. Back then (around 20 years ago) Google
boasted about having chefs who feed staff and all sorts of exceptional benefits
such letting workers do "personal projects" ('for fun') once a week, even for
as much as a whole day (while salaried by Google).


Those days are long gone. Nowadays Google compels workers to sign rights-
waiving agreements that essentially say anything the worker produces is
Google's (even outside Google, even outside working hours, sometimes under the
guise of "trade secrets" or so-called 'IP').


By crushing the individual Google also crushes individualism, leading to crises
of identity.


Stressed workers have long expressed concerns and anguish. The same is true in
other GAFAM companies. The atmosphere is not the same anymore because stress is
prevalent and working hours (or expected cumulative hours of work) increase
without any increase in pay. Many people who work there are basically slaves;
they're slaves to the money they assume they cannot get anywhere else (this
assumption might be correct, but health is wealth too).


Whatever the perception of GAFAM jobs used_to_be, what the media is presently
floating seems outdated and partly false. Until someone young unexpectedly dies
on the job; then the_tune_changes. █

A week ago: Social_Control_Media_is_Just_a_Digital_Weapon (the US Government
calls it "smart mobs"; it's used to mobilise people outside the US against
their nation/government)


The government of Germany - just like the rest of Europe - is quickly coming to
grips with what Social Control Media really is about. The Pooh-tin-controlled
TikTok, the MElon-controlled "Twitter" (its name before it started producing
child porn), the Trump-aligned Kapo-berg-controlled Facebook...


What/who gets served by those platforms? Regime_change_(imperialism)
enthusiasts.


Germans are educated enough to recognise this isn't just a threat to kids;
those dopamine-targetting platforms are nothing other than a digital weapon.
How to dismantle or neutralise those weapons? Turn them off. They have no power
once they have no "eyeballs". █

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IBM Has Already Admitted 2026 Mass Layoffs
(in 4Q Earnings Call)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧


posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 23, 2026


We showed this earlier this month, but some people bring that up again


IBM's forever layoffs [1, 2, 3] are not a matter of opinion, they are a simple,
measurable, verifiable reality. Then there are the PIPs and the words coming
out of the CEO's or CFO's mouth (albeit not in the mainstream media):


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇For operating pretax margin, we expect about 100 basis
points of expansion with workforce rebalancing fairly consistent with the prior
year.⦈


Here's the full thing: (for further context or scrutiny)


     revenue growth, greater than 0.5 point of operating pretax margin
     expansion, double-digit adjusted EBITDA growth and about $13.5
     billion of free cash flow. We exited 2025 beating all of these
     metrics, delivering 6% revenue growth, 100 basis points of operating
     pretax margin expansion, 17% adjusted EBITDA growth and $14.7 billion
     of free cash flow, growing 16% over last year. This represents our
     highest free cash flow margin in reported history, and we delivered
     12% growth in operating diluted earnings per share. This performance
     reflects strong execution of our flywheel for growth. through client
     trust, leadership in hybrid cloud and Gen AI, accelerating
     innovation, deep domain expertise and an ecosystem multiplier effect.
     In 2025, we were intently focused on strengthening and accelerating
     our software portfolio, delivering innovation value with our next-
     generation mainframe launch, expanding our early leadership in Gen AI
     and quantum and executing M&A growth synergies across IBM. All of our
     segments accelerated in the second half of 2025 with these drivers
     playing out and demonstrating momentum across our diversified
     business. For the full year, software grew 9%, our highest annual
     growth rate in history with 3 of our 4 subsegments delivering double-
     digit growth rates. Infrastructure was up 10%, reflecting a record
     z17 launch, achieving the highest annual revenue for IBM Z in about
     20 years and outpacing z16 over the first 3 quarters of the program.
     And consulting inflected back to growth in the second half, driven by
     Gen AI momentum with our Gen AI book of business in consulting at
     more than $10.5 billion inception to date. Let me now dive deeper
     into our fourth quarter performance. Software revenue growth
     accelerated to 11% on top of last year's growth of 11.5%, which was
     the highest in 15 years. Growth was driven by the strength of our
     recurring revenue base, our shift to higher growth end markets,
     innovation, including our early leadership in GenAI, M&A growth
     synergies and monetization of our strong IBM Z placement with an
     inflection in transaction processing. Our ARR was strong at $23.6
     billion, up over $2 billion from the end of 2024. This quarter's
     performance was broad-based across our synergistic portfolio with
     organic growth accelerating to over 7%. Data grew 19%, fueled by the
     demand for our Gen AI products and strong performance with
     established strategic partners who enable customers to power our AI
     innovation and mission-critical workloads. These market dynamics
     underscore the synergy opportunity we see with Confluent. Automation
     grew 14%, including another record bookings quarter for HashiCorp.
     Red Hat decelerated to 8%, driven partially by the wrap on last
     year's elevated consumption-based services that we called out last
     quarter and also from the in-quarter yield on single-digit bookings
     growth driven by delays in U.S. federal business deal activity
     related to the government shutdown. While a longer growth arc,
     virtualization continues to gain momentum, including over $500
     million of contracts signed over the last 2 years. OpenShift is now
     $1.9 billion ARR business, growing more than 30% -- and as we
     expected last quarter, given the record z17 placement this year,
     transaction processing inflected back to growth of 4%. Consulting
     revenue grew 1% in the fourth quarter, with Intelligent Operations up
     3% and strategy and technology remaining stable. Performance was
     driven by steady demand across key offerings, business application
     transformation, application migration and modernization, application
     operations and cybersecurity as clients prioritize cost efficiency
     while continuing to invest in AI-enabled transformation. Our
     consulting generative AI book of business surpassed $2 billion in the
     quarter, our largest quarter of Gen AI, reflecting continued
     momentum. We are also expanding our impact through client zero,
     applying our generative AI experience in driving productivity and
     efficiency to help clients operationalize AI at scale. This practical
     experience, combined with our domain expertise is resonating with
     clients. While overall signings were down as we wrapped on record
     fourth quarter signings last year, the mix continued to improve with
     a greater share of strategic wins from both new clients and expanded
     engagements within existing ones. Infrastructure revenue grew 17%
     this quarter, with hybrid infrastructure up 24% and infrastructure
     support down 2%. Within hybrid infrastructure, IBM Z had another
     outstanding quarter, delivering its highest fourth quarter revenue in
     more than 2 decades, up 61% year-to-year, reflecting the enduring
     value of the platform and the success of our latest z17 program.
     Clients are investing in z17 for its differentiated capabilities,
     real-time AI inferencing, quantum-safe security and AI-driven
     operational efficiency, which are critical as enterprises modernize
     mission-critical workloads and scale for data-intensive environments.
     IBM Z continues to be the backbone of enterprise IT, enabling clients
     to integrate seamlessly with hybrid cloud while unlocking new levels
     of resiliency, scalability and performance. Distributed
     infrastructure revenue was flat with product cycle dynamics impacting
     storage, offset by growth in power, supported by solid adoption of
     our newly launched solutions. Now turning to profitability. In 2025,
     we delivered our highest operating gross profit margin in reported
     history and highest operating pretax margin in a decade,
     demonstrating the evolution of our portfolio mix and our laser focus
     on productivity. For the full year, productivity, mix and revenue
     scale drove expansion of operating gross profit margin by 170 basis
     points, adjusted EBITDA margin by 230 basis points and operating
     pretax margin by 100 basis points. And we achieved this despite
     absorbing more than $300 million of dilution from HashiCorp. Given
     the announcement of our intent to acquire Confluent, we accelerated
     productivity initiatives in the fourth quarter to help mitigate 2026
     dilution, similar to our playbook on HashiCorp. Excluding resulting
     workforce rebalancing charges we took in the fourth quarter,
     operating pretax margin expanded by 140 basis points for the full
     year. Segment profit margins expanded by 100 basis points in
     software, 180 basis points in Consulting, with consulting margins at
     the highest level in 3 years and 450 basis points in infrastructure.
     For the full year, we generated $14.7 billion of free cash flow, up
     $2 billion year-over-year, resulting in the highest free cash flow
     margin in reported history. The primary driver of this growth is
     adjusted EBITDA, up $2.8 billion year-over-year, partially offset by
     increased investments in CapEx, higher cash taxes and higher net
     interest expense as we expected coming into 2025. Let me talk about
     our free cash flow evolution in a little more detail. Our
     repositioning to a software-led business, in addition to our cost
     discipline and productivity initiatives, drive significant operating
     leverage in our financial model. Since 2022, we have consistently
     delivered double-digit growth in free cash flow, well in excess of
     revenue growth, demonstrating this business model evolution. Our
     flywheel for growth and disciplined execution of productivity
     initiatives lead to sustainable and high-quality free cash flow
     generation. This durable cash flow engine enables us to invest in our
     business to accelerate growth. This includes increased organic
     innovation with R&D up about $2.5 billion since 2019. And it allows
     us to pursue highly strategic M&A transactions like Apptio, Software
     AG, HashiCorp, Data Stacks and Confluent that drive M&A synergies
     across IBM. Our diversified and integrated business drives a platform
     multiplier effect that uniquely allows us to deliver M&A synergies.
     This includes synergies from our global go-to-market distribution
     scale, platform synergies that amplify value with IBM's complementary
     offerings and operational synergies through our G&A discipline. Most
     recently, this can be seen with HashiCorp, delivering adjusted EBITDA
     accretion ahead of expectations within the first full year in IBM.
     Our financial flexibility fuels innovation and our disciplined
     capital allocation policy, including our commitment to return capital
     to shareholders. We exited 2025 with a strong liquidity position and
     a solid investment-grade balance sheet with cash of $14.5 billion. We
     invested $8.3 billion in acquisitions and returned $6.3 billion to
     shareholders in the form of dividends. Our debt balance ending the
     year was $61.3 billion, including $15.1 billion of debt for our
     financing business with a receivables portfolio that is almost 80%
     investment grade. Now let me discuss our expectations for 2026. Our
     strong performance in 2025 reflects the strength of our diversified
     portfolio and a multiyear execution of our strategic repositioning.
     Consistent with our Investor Day model, we expect to sustain constant
     currency revenue growth of 5% plus in 2026 and free cash flow to be
     up about $1 billion year-over-year, growing high single digits. Our
     revenue expectations are underpinned by our durable and accelerating
     software business, which we expect to grow 10% this year. This
     acceleration is led by organic growth, driven by the strength of our
     recurring revenue base, our shift to higher growth end markets, GenAI
     traction, M&A growth synergies and monetization of our record Z
     placement with an inflection in transaction processing, a tremendous
     source of profitability and free cash flow for IBM. And we continue
     to expect Confluent will close by the middle of 2026. In Consulting,
     our backlog levels and momentum in GenAI with backlog penetration
     over 25% support an acceleration in revenue growth to low to mid-
     single digits for the year. The powerful combination of our
     integrated platforms, services as software model and client zero
     experience allow us to deliver differentiated value to clients. We
     enter 2026 3 quarters into the Z17 launch. We expect infrastructure
     revenue to be down low single digits, about a 0.5 point impact to
     IBM, with Z growth in the first quarter balanced by product cycle
     dynamics throughout the rest of the year. The strength of our Z
     placement fuels our flywheel for growth with its attractive 3 to 4x
     stack multiplier across IBM. Let me now touch on our GenAI book of
     business before I turn to profit. We have been reporting our
     cumulative GenAI book of business since the third quarter of 2023
     when it was in the low hundreds of millions of dollars. We exited
     2025 with the GenAI book of business greater than $12.5 billion,
     demonstrating strong momentum in consulting and software. This will
     be the last quarter in which we report this metric separately. AI is
     now embedded across our business from how we deliver services to our
     software portfolio to the capabilities we are adding to our
     infrastructure platforms and how we drive our own productivity. As a
     result, a stand-alone Gen AI metric no longer reflects the full scope
     of how AI is driving value across IBM. For the full year, we expect
     IBM's operating pretax margin to expand by about 1 point. Our
     software portfolio mix and ongoing productivity initiatives continue
     to drive margin expansion and mitigate Z product cycles and the
     impact of dilution from acquisitions. Our operating tax rate for the
     year should be in the mid-teens, and the timing of discrete items can
     cause the rate to vary within the year. Let me give a little bit more
     color on Confluent dilution dynamics. We anticipate absorbing about
     $600 million of dilution from Confluent in 2026, driven largely by
     stock-based compensation and interest expense. We expect Confluent
     will be accretive to adjusted EBITDA within the first full year and
     to free cash flow in year 2 post close. We have multiple levers that
     underpin our confidence in these accretion targets, including revenue
     synergies, operational spend synergies and ongoing productivity
     savings. Revenue synergies include both the ability to accelerate
     revenue leveraging our go-to-market distribution platform as well as
     drive product synergies, which play out over time. We expect to
     realize about $500 million of operational spend run rate synergies by
     the end of 2027. We continue to accelerate our productivity
     initiatives and now expect an incremental $1 billion of productivity
     savings this year, driving $5.5 billion of annual run rate savings by
     the end of 2026. Taking this all into account, we are confident in
     our ability to expand operating pretax margin by about 1 point in
     2026. For free cash flow, we expect to grow about $1 billion in 2026,
     in line with our Investor Day model of high single-digit growth.
     Given the strong fundamentals of our business, adjusted EBITDA growth
     will be the primary driver of our free cash flow, offset by similar
     factors as last year, including cash tax headwinds, higher CapEx and
     higher net interest expense. Looking to the first quarter, we expect
     our constant currency revenue growth rate to be similar to the full
     year. And for operating pretax margin, we expect about 100 basis
     points of expansion with workforce rebalancing fairly consistent with
     the prior year. Our first quarter operating tax rate should be in the
     mid-teens. We are excited about our prospects in 2026. Our growth
     accelerators, portfolio mix, integrated value and continued
     investment in innovation are driving sustainable revenue growth and
     strong free cash flow. As we shift toward a software-led business and
     speed our pace of innovation, our growth flywheel continues to
     strengthen. We enter 2026 with a solid momentum across our business
     and remain focused on disciplined execution with unwavering focus on
     productivity, enabling investing for the future and delivering value
     for our shareholders. Arvind and I are now happy to take your
     questions. Olympia, let's get started.

More than two decades ago KDE's efforts at a Web browser were taken in
different directions, including Apple's. I was an early adopter of several KDE
Web browsers (4 or 5 of them) and I still use Falkon as my principal browser.


What's curious about these_statistics, based on the little data coming out of
the 'underpopulated' island, is that Chrome is relatively small and it is fast-
declining. Are those Danes recognising the risk of monoculture? █

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IRC Usage Levels Seem to be Rebounding This
Year⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧


posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 23, 2026


Having just taken a look at a tracker of IRC networks, it looks like the total
count (tally) of users increased a lot lately.


This_is_today:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇# of users in IRC⦈


Last_year:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇# of users in IRC⦈


Two_years_ago:

3_years_ago:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇# of users in IRC⦈


Notice the increase this year. Are people running away from social control
media and bloated, centralised IRC copycats like Discord and Slack? █

2023: Tech_job_bloodbath_comes_to_IBM,_CFO_[James_Kavanaugh]_links_layoffs_to
Kyndryl,_Watson_Health


2022: "Kavanaugh said that all of the transaction processing growth came from
IBM's commercial relationship with spin off Kyndryl."


IBM critics, many of them insiders, are having a day field today. The
management they loathe has a lot of explaining to do.


Why was the stock boosted while debt surged and employees got sacked left and
right?


Based on what exactly did IBM's stock rise? What is the real value of Kyndryl
when its debt is about twice its alleged "worth"? It seems to be insolvent
already. Was IBM's CFO just debt-loading a newly-minted shell and, if so, was
this legal? █

financial engineering shenanigans.⦈


There will be lots of IBM layoffs this year (same_as_last_year,_according_to
the_CFO).


The CFO that set up the_sinking_boat, Kyndryl, is still the beancounter at IBM.


Let that sink in, the IBM Titanic. █

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNU project was started by Richard Stallman in 1983⦈


Richard Matthew Stallman (rms) created GNU, GCC, the GPL, and lots more.
Without GCC, Linux would be hard to develop. Without the GPL, Linux would be
hard to popularise. Linus Torvalds candidly acknowledged this many times over
the years (we preserved videos of that) and hours_ago_he_released_a_'Rusted'
Linux which caused some controversies for several reasons other_than_Rust; the
same applies to Git, which follows a similar development trajectory. The siege
is perpetual; those trying to control everything - to the point of insisting on
back doors - don't want reliability for everybody.


Regardless of where folks stand on Linux, GNU and Rust, we should all agree and
can generally agree that this operating system (or just... system) started not
in 1991 but in 1983. A lot of its design or philosophy was shaping up in the
1970s. It predates Microsoft and Apple. Proponents of GAFAM agenda have sadly
paid a barrister to put false claims (non-facts) about GNU/Linux in the court
records in the UK's High Court, but that's just part of a_longstanding_pattern.
Money attempts to rewrite history and shun_the_real_accomplishers as if they
never existed or are better off forgotten. █

Last month: No,_Microsoft_Did_Not_Deny_the_Q1_Mass_Layoffs_(Microsoft_Can_Delay

Microsoft has got the media by the wallet (or balls).


"No layoffs?" someone_asked_here. "Xbox has new leaders today, now that Phil
Spencer and Sarah Bond are out — and you’d be forgiven for assuming that means
yet another round of layoffs and shuttered studios, especially one day after
Sony jettisoned a beloved developer."


This cites an article published minutes after Microsoft's announcement, face-
saving_PR_coordinated_in_advance_with_The_Verge.


What sort of media is this? what is its true purpose? Corporate coverup and
advocacy of Ponzi schemes? █

LinuxSecurity and another in this_slopfarm propped up by Google News.

It moreover seems, based_on_new_reports, that some businesses and governments
are withdrawing from slop. This is more than just fatigue. This is an
attitudinal shift; let's hope that by the end of the year the whole bubble
fully implodes, leaving_nearly_nothing_behind_it.


We've just noticed that Microsoft fell about $100 in the past 4 weeks alone,

Seems applicable to European Patent Office (EPO) staff


Today the EPO is on strike. It's past 6AM CET, so we assume workers were
"meant" to start working in about 3 hours. However, thousands will make_a
strong_statement by refusing to work; when back from the strike, they will also
refuse to grant many patents; instead they'll search harder and scrutinise
applications.


The EPO cannot fire thousands of workers; it would draw media attention (from
what's left of the media) and cause chaos for EPO stakeholders.


So this idea that the EPO can "kill" people's careers is mostly theoretical.
The examiners at the EPO exercise a lot of power (in numbers, in unity) over
the management, not the other way around. The_dictator_already_seems_to_be_"in
hiding", having tactlessly chosen_to_hide_(and_pay_over_100,000_euros_to)_his
cocaine_buddy.


When leadership becomes corrupt enough to lose a sense of authority its days
are numbered; it'll be replaced. █

They try to blame some Anthropic slop, but that's just a distraction from IBM
having nothing to offer. █

There is a new post in Reddit.


The platform is controlled by its owners and since the platform gets
criticised, then one can expect comments (users not already culled or censored
by the owners for "wrongthink") to be largely hostile.


We leave out comments and focus on the substance:


     § A Changing of the Guard - I Quit Today⠀➾


     Hi my Yellow Jacket family,


     I’m writing to announce my resignation as your r/gatech moderator,
     effective immediately.


     As many of you might know, I’m_the_founder_and_president_of_LibreTech
     Collective, a student organization dedicated to open-technology and
     computing freedom. Our goal is to engage the campus community with
     how they approach computing. Part of this mission involves hosting
     guest speakers, including international organizations and Georgia
     Tech alumni.


     On January 20th, 2026, our club hosted Dr. Richard Stallman for a
     lecture at the Scheller College of Business. Despite past
     controversies surrounding Dr. Stallman, the officer corps decided to
     proceed with the event after months of deliberation and eventual
     Institute approval/funding. The_event_was_a_success, and raised over
     $2,000 for the Free Software Foundation to better the software you
     and I run for our own course work on campus.


     But_this_event_has_led_to_significant_internal_conflict_here_on
     Reddit_-_which_has_now_made_international_headlines.


     Since parts and pieces of private chats have been released already,
     I’m_sharing_with_you_the_complete_log_of_chats_for_reference.


     I would like to thank the Dean of Students, Dr. Kristina Clement, for
     her help in navigating this situation and ensuring a safe environment
     for everyone involved. Neither LibreTech nor I ignored these
     so‑called “issues” regarding Dr. Stallman and from the start we
     promptly reported this matter, coordinated with campus safety
     officials to secure the event, and nothing was found from claims
     online. As a result, the officer corps and I voted to move forward
     and continue working to bring one of the fathers of modern computing
     to campus. If you were lucky enough to attend this event you know
     that Dr. Stallman is now and will always be a foundational
     cornerstone of the free computing movement. The insight he provided
     that week was indispensable for the GT community. Additionally, I
     decided to take personal responsibility for hosting Dr. Stallman in
     my own home near campus. Is he quirky, yes, but aren’t we all?


     I believe in the mission of computing freedom and will continue to
     advocate for it. I’ll leave you with a question: what are the ethical
     implications of a professor specializing in social media who takes it
     upon herself to dictate what should or should not happen on campus?
     Moreover, using social media as her platform, without IRB and
     Institute approval?


     I do not believe that the actions taken by LibreTech or myself
     warranted the response we received. I genuinely tried to work with
     everyone that was involved, donating my time and service to this
     community for the past two years. I loved being a source of knowledge
     for the campus community, and serving as your moderator for the last
     few years together. I leave this position with a new disenchantment
     about tenured faculty's involvement in student affairs.


     With that all said, I’m stepping away from Reddit to continue my work
     with the LibreTech Collective and advancing freedom on campus. This
     wasn’t a decision I made lightly, and it took me well over two months
     to come to terms with. For those of you who want to still follow
     LibreTech on Reddit, our Secretary will be posting on here via u/
     gtltc for future LibreTech updates and Q/A’s.


     I love MY campus and MY community.


     Win, lose, or tie - I’m a Yellow Jacket till I die.


     ~ Alex Jenkins


Reddit is not a community, it is a company, and one that has personally
attacked for me nearly 20 years because of my views on Novell and Microsoft.


Don't waste time in Reddit. Many years ago RMS joked with me that it can be
called "Conde Nasty". █

Patent Office (EPO)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Invitation to all staff - General Assembly on Thursday 19
February⦈


In a matter of few hours thousands_of_EPO_staff will be on strike. Here are
reasons for more_folks to join their striking colleagues:


   1. Your real salary is going down in spite of producing more "value" to the
      Office (as in, more monopolies granted and "sold", irrespective of what
      the actual laws say)
   2. Your staff representatives are bullied_and_censored_by_a_dictator_who
      pretends_to_be_nice
   3. This dictator who pretends to be nice or forthcoming is hiding_cocaine
      use
   4. Job security at the EPO is no more
   5. Judges no longer enjoy independence, they're pressured to help fake
      "production"
   6. Management that has no_background in patents compels_workers_to_use
      American_slop
   7. Policies are decided which are unconstitutional and harm the European
      economy - the patent litigation industry and its largest client have way
      too much sway
   8. Health and welfare of staff (and their families, including children) got
      neglected in pursuit of profit as the EPO gets run like a corporation -
      something the EPC neither envisioned nor allowed
   9. The EPO continues bullying and censoring the media, hence its current
      leadership poses a threat to Europe's "Right to Know" as well as "Freedom
      of the Press"
Please do join the strike and any future strikes.


As we put_it_yesterday, "EPO Strikes Are Already Working".


If you live in Europe and don't work for the EPO, you can still help. Contact
the local_representatives; they're meant to work for you and your tax euros
fund them. █

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Security and blobs, by Alex Oliva (GNU
Linux-Libre)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧


posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 23, 2026,
updated Feb 23, 2026


Reprinted with permission from Alex_Oliva.


Linux-libre_turned_18 recently, and I'm told there are still some people who
try to pass as security experts who disapprove of the refusal to load binary
blobs that claim to fix security problems.


I kind of understand the appeal of security bug fixes, but delivering them in
the form of binary blobs mean that the one who accepts them has to trust them
blindly and to give up any pretense of security from the vendor, and that seems
to be a problem that many pretense security conscious minds seem to disregard,
for whatever reason.


At the same time they advise people to not open messages from untrusted
senders, and to not install random programs even when they claim to offer
security improvements. They even criticize people who fall in such traps, while
pushing others to do just that!


Sure, in one case it's possibly an evil anonymous attacker, while in the other
it's a well-known active corporation in the enshittocene, thus also evil.
Thanks, but no, thanks, I'll take neither.


What these people don't seem to want to understand is that there is a
significant risk in granting the vendor (just like to anyone else) a new round
of control over your computer, especially over a component that can access
pretty much everything you do. The risk is not only for your freedom, but also
for your security.


When there is a known, exploitable vulnerability in your computer, plugging
that hole with a blob may seem like a lesser risk than leaving it unpatched,
even if the blob brings with it unknowns (other security holes), risks (new
backdoors, new forms of remote control), limitations (new license restrictions,
"improvements" that stop you from doing things on your computer that the vendor
doesn't want you to do any more), and known downsides (slowing down your
computer).


If they allowed you to inspect the changes, to choose which ones you want and
which ones you don't, to make further improvements yourself, to plug holes
independently from them, then the conclusion could be very different.


But they don't, because they don't respect your freedom. This means they don't
want you to have defenses against their control.


They might even care about your security against others, but clearly not about
your security against themselves.


If you have already mitigated the risks from the known holes that the blob
purports to plug, then the only effects of the blob on you are negative:
exposing you to unknowns, to risks, to limitations, and to its known downsides.


It's a net negative, even security wise.


I suppose the miscreants can't picture someone who mitigates the potential
security_problems_brought_about_by_CPU_bugs by not allowing random programs
from random third parties to be installed and run on their computers, not even
through web browsers, and by only installing programs known to serve their
users and from trusted sources. Some of us even audit changes ourselves!


For them, it's probably easier to tick a box and then go about recklessly
running nonfree (because they run under control of the remote server) programs
on their browsers, or installing and running other pieces of software remotely
controlled by third parties, whose behaviors they wish to contain somehow.


But for someone who cares about freedom to the point of meticulously selecting
hardware that will run with only free software, allowing such nonfree web blobs
to run is undesirable to begin with. Installing nonfree programs that don't
permit auditing is also out of the question.


These choices are for freedom purposes, but they are also a form of security in
depth that miscreants seem unable to conceive of. That these freedom defenses
also mitigate security issues is a welcome bonus.


That misguided security and freedom miscreants egg their own faces by promoting
security-risking and freedom-denying blobs, because they can't see that newer
blobs bring newer problems, is just priceless.


So blong, █

half an hour ago: There_is_No_Such_Thing_as_"AI_Skills",_"AI_Competency",_"AI
Fluency"_Etc.


Benj Edwards, a so-called 'Senior' so-called 'AI' so-called 'Reporter' at Conde
Nast's Ars Sloppica, used to publish, on average, almost once a day except on
weekends.


Then this scandal happened:


    * Just_Like_The_Register_MS,_Conde_Nast's_Ars_Technica_Has_Just_Publicly
      Admitted_That_It_Published_Fake_Articles_(Slop)_Made_by_LLMs_About

    * "Senior_AI_Reporter"_at_Slop_Technica/Ars_Sloppica_Has_Written_Nothing_in
      Nearly_a_Week,_Did_Conde_Nast_Suspend_Him_for_Fake_Articles_With_Fake
      Quotes?
From what we can see he has published nothing for 11 days now.


Was he suspended?


Did he get sacked to save face (the publisher's)?


Did he resign to spare himself any further embarrassment? He seems to have been
a serial slopper or repeat slopper/offender, as we showed last week.


Just how many past articles are fakes? Does anyone there bother checking? Is
the publisher too afraid to even check?


There is a neat analogy somewhere in all this. Think of some fine dining
restaurant with a talented chef that over the many years/decades earns the
place a great reputation and then, as demand grows (expansion/s), sees an
opportunity to grow profit not by persisting with meticulous attention to
details (or bringing more reputable chefs) but instead a mindset of mass
production. The restaurant recruits unpaid or barely-skilled interns/students
to do the chef's job and sooner or later the diners can see and taste the
difference. Think of "SPAM" (the food) or slop. Worse yet, imagine them buying
canned food from Aldi and warming it up, pretending it was prepared inside the
kitchen. Sooner or later people will realise they got conned are still pay (or
have long paid) considerable amounts of money for hyper-processed garbage with
preservatives that cost not much in a nearby shop.


The disappointment and revelation would then doomed any former (past) goodwill
earned by that restaurant.


That's what happens to Slop Technica or Ars Sloppica as Alex Oliva told me we
should call it.


This is not unprecedented over there at Ars Sloppica. Not too long ago they
paid salaries to a man who was shadowing Microsoft with fake articles that had
been prepared by or with Microsoft. Later_it_turned_out_he_was_raping_children
and_he_was_sentenced_to_prison. After that, despite what happened, Ars Sloppica
kept all his planted-by-Microsoft 'articles' online (the Microsoft_UEFI
apologists still link to those articles, which are misleading SPAM from an
actual pedophile). That said a lot about the journalistic standards of Ars
Sloppica. █

Techrights has full and unambiguous solidarity. It has love and respect for EPO
examiners (typically scientists) who resent what happens at the EPO. It has
even more respect to those who put themselves at greater risk and reduce their
salary (unpaid days) to make a point and make_a_stand.


A lot of Europe can relate and empathise. Not so-called 'IP' blogs; they view
you all as "cogs". Remember that!


It is 5PM CET in about 5 minutes. That would be the 'standard' time today's
"working day" would end; but many people didn't work today. They put their foot
down and passively indicated, "I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!"


There are already_material_gains because of the strikes.


Keep pushing. It's good for everyone in Europe. It's only bad for corrupt and
self-serving officials. █

and conceals — about the crisis in legal services ⦈


"As at January 2026," Brian Rogers wrote some hours ago, "there were 8,940 SRA-
regulated law firms in England and Wales. In mid-2012, there were over 11,300."


The firm threatening_to_put_my_family_in_prison (by abuse of process!) is
already_selling_its_furniture and the_women_are_fleeing. Months ago they sued
by their own clients [1, 2, 3] - including by women (Alla Yanpolsky) - and the
lawsuit goes ahead.

Puff Pieces-Under-Embargo Microsoft Strategy for XBox
Collapse⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧

As explained on Saturday: Microsoft-Controlled_Media_With_Embargo_and_Press
Operatives


Today the tune is different, e.g.:


   1. ⚓ 'The_end_of_Xbox':_fans_split_as_AI_exec_takes_over_Microsoft's_top
      gaming_role⠀⇛


           Xbox fans have been left divided after Microsoft announced Phil
           Spencer, boss of its gaming division, and Xbox president Sarah
           Bond would step down from their roles.


   2. ⚓ "Bad_news_for_Xbox":_Analysts_react_to_the_leadership_shakeup_at
      Microsoft's_games_division⠀⇛


           On AI, Boyar commented: “There's no point in discussing how AI
           can make faster and better games, because the last thing the
           gaming ecosystem needs is more games.”


           Suggesting what Microsoft could do moving forward, she
           suggested culling IP, focusing resources on core IP, stop
           making hardware, refine GamePass and “hope that cloud gaming
           becomes a thing”.


   3. ⚓ Major_shake-up_at_Xbox:_Insider_speaks_of_historic_job_cuts_and_a
      “dagger”_in_the_console’s_back⠀⇛


           After the unexpected leadership shake-up at Xbox, an alleged
           insider leak is adding to the uncertainty. While new chief Asha
           Sharma has promised a renewed focus on creativity and hardware
           following the departures of Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond, the
           source warns of large-scale layoffs and a bleak future for the
           Xbox console.


There are more layoffs ahead at Microsoft's XBox - it is well_overdue and they
try_to_come_up_with_some_slop_narrative.


What's truly grotesque is what Microsoft had done with the media and then
triggered late on a Friday, hoping to control the narrative around a
catastrophe. █

for the Destructive-Play tendencies⦈


Brainwashing by a Ponzi scheme's freeriders, misusing concepts such as
"training" and "education"


Last year my mother told me that some friend recommended an "AI course". A bit
shocked by this nonsense, I explained to her what that meant in practice.
Mortified that the "populace" might express an opinion that's dissenting, the
"AI daddies" and "monopoly bros" want us all to be entrapped in their gamified
(addictive) social control media where we all prompt their word-spewing
machines for superficial, bland statements that contain the masters' falsehoods
(or deliberate distortion) of choice. Failing that, we'll just read what their
bots have to say. Worst of both worlds.


This past weekend - as per our Daily Links - some slopfarms in India said that
Microsoft's President had traveled to India to push his ridiculous_(based_on
lies)_Ponzi_scheme under the guise of "education".


Of course they name-dropped "AI" a lot. Many articles were LLM slop.


What they mean to do, universally, is turn humans into slaves that prompt their
"masters" for words. Depriving people of mouths or voices.


That's not a skill, it's an infantile capitulation.


Slop does not give anybody an advantage. It's a disempowering force which
outsources thought and decision-making to sociopaths and hostile interests,
just_like_social_control_media.


Slop is a "skill" in the same sense that cheating in exams with crib notes is a
skill. There's nothing honourable to see here. █

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 23, 2026


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Myosotis⦈_


Alex Oliva (GNU Linux-Libre) correctly_points_out_that_trusting_binary_blobs
from untrustworthy companies (known for back-dooring things, based on their
track record) is misguided if not foolish (the latter is more crude a term, but
still deserving). This morning in IRC we discussed again in simple terms what
it means to have IBM's_LVFS_(Linux_Vendor_Firmware_Service)_running_as_root.


In very very very simple terms that every user can understand, having things
like these running in the background is like having a giant back door available
all the time, allowing an intruder to remotely control everything on your
computer; not to mention what happens in case of system breach in the
controlling party of LVFS (previously Linux_Foundation) or any OEM/vendor that
pipes things through it.


Oliva is right. Allowing some blobs to be pushed and pulled passively - without
warning and with neither user consent nor audit - seems rather insane.


Speaking of "evil maids", suppose you are specifically targeted. If you
purchase or order a computer anonymously, it's hard to compromise only your
machine. However, once connected and authenticated, letting oneself be remotely
controlled at such a low level seems insane. We_expressed_concerns_like_these
in_relation_to_WordPress_13_years_ago, but this is much worse because
Automattic does not get root-level access to your physical server.


In short, whatever Oliva said seems appropriate and timely. Don't listen to
liars and frauds who lie_to_courts. They warn us about "Evil Maids", but they
themselves are those Evil Maids. █

A few years ago I publicly condemned a Valnet site for essentially shutting
down - or scuttling - a site's section where several authors promoted GNU/Linux
every day. I also contacted the management to politely inquire about what had
happened. A decision was made by someone. That was very clear.


About a year later Valnet, which has now got a whole bunch of sites (even for
topics like games), suddenly started to publish lots of pro-GNU/Linux articles.
It was a real surge and nowadays - across domains [1, 2, 3] - they publish
about 5 stories per day (on average) advocating GNU/Linux but sometimes
politely criticising something (they can say it's "tough love"; nobody is
perfect and nothing can be impeccable).


In hindsight, I'd like to think that the feedback sent Valnet's way triggered
some decisions, which nowadays result in many GNU/Linux users having casual
writing gigs/jobs. As a result, we're all better off.


Let's hope they carry on like this. █

                # ⚓ My_Imperfect_Journal⠀⇛


                       If you're like me, you occasionally get the urge to
                       trash your old projects and start over from
                       scratch. The thinking goes "With what I know now, I
                       could do better the next time around." Sometimes
                       that's a good idea. Other times you're just
                       suffering from an unhealthy unattainable desire for
                       perfection like me.


                       I've spent more hours writing and rewriting text
                       messages than I'd ever like to admit, in an effort
                       to make them "perfect". I know it makes no sense to
                       waste my time that way, but I still do it anyway as
                       if I'm being graded.


                       The same drive that causes me to obsess over my
                       texts has caused me to consider remaking this
                       journal from scratch as well. There are things I'd
                       do differently if I started over. But I'm not going
                       to start over, because a few thoughts have
                       convinced me that it's better to just make peace
                       with its imperfections.


                       One of those thoughts is that, in 2031, future me
                       may look back on recent entries the same way
                       current me sees the entries I wrote back in
                       2021—I'll want to delete them and start over from
                       scratch. I'd be restarting every few years, and it
                       would still never be good enough. I'd be very put
                       off by any other online content creator doing that,
                       so it makes no sense to do it myself.


                # ⚓ K&R⠀⇛


                       You approach the system core that radiates a most
                       omnious power...

                # ⚓ Evil_strikes_through_pride⠀⇛


                       It is impossible to completely seal off one's
                       spirit from evil, impossible to fence it off, stem
                       it, deny it access. Human reality always involves
                       maintaining balance and vigilance, rather than the
                       certainty of perfect defense, fortifications that
                       nothing can penetrate. In fact, it is exactly the
                       opposite: The more we believe in the tightness of
                       our defense, the more we trust our carefully
                       constructed spiritual fortress, our acquired
                       knowledge, our trained body and spirit, the easier,
                       lower, and more painful our fall will be when evil
                       penetrates our walls and comes out of us through
                       our actions and words. Every lack of humility will
                       become a stumbling block on our path.

                       Left to their own devices corporations will
                       innovate and progress well beyond what otherwise
                       would be possible under onerous regulations. A fine
                       example of this is the Boeing CST-100 Starliner,
                       and the "Type A mishap" recently declared by NASA,
                       who continues in the somewhat optimistic vein that
                       they would "ensure leadership accountability so
                       situations like this never reoccur", until the next
                       time it inevitably does. NASA of course is no
                       stranger to such challenging issues, and, spoiler
                       alert, O-rings may have once again been involved.


                       [...]


                       Eh, well, NASA's technical rigor was somewhat
                       absent or shot down by NASA management during the
                       Challenger thing, so if NASA has a technical rigor
                       now it's because the body count was yea high and
                       for many humans it usually requires that the body
                       count be yea high before a move is made to start
                       thinking about fixes. Those wonderful intersections
                       designed to move cars where the traffic engineers
                       won't look at it until there are enough dead
                       pedestrians to warrant a revisit are another
                       example, and doubtless one can think of more
                       examples without too much trouble?

                       Restful weekend.


                       I found a nice recipe for a skin care product.
                       Castor oil, rose hips and rosemary, I'll go harvest
                       some rose hips this week, it's the perfect season
                       for that. I don't have dried rosemary, so next time
                       I go in town I'll purchase some fresh organic
                       branches. Something to consider growing this
                       summer. I like the idea of growing lots of herbs,
                       but it's almost late to start from seeds.


                       The rose hips give you vitamin e and vitamin c,
                       while the rosemary help with the absorption of
                       collagen and the castor oil has this nourishing
                       property, which the exact name escape my mind at
                       the moment. I've been using castor oil for a while
                       now, mostly for my leg healing, but generally
                       speaking it's a powerful oil. I am not sure if I'll
                       mix this with a lighter oil, like olive oil, or
                       almond, or even use some shea butter to make it
                       fluffy. I think I'll keep it simple for this round.

                # ⚓ I_Use_Gentoo_Now⠀⇛


                       Well, it began last week. I had noticed that, on
                       Amethyst-II (my T480s), linux-cachyos-hardened
                       hadn't been updated in line with the other kernel
                       flavours in a short while. Rather than wait for it
                       to be updated, I switched back over to the regular
                       linux-cachyos kernel. I then began to notice I had
                       trouble accessing my onion services and eepsites,
                       which I immediately decided was a problem with my
                       system.


                       I had no idea where to begin troubleshooting, as I
                       wasn't getting any error messages, so I decided to
                       do a clean install rather than take my chances.


                       Quite rashly, I said to my flatmate "Arch has
                       failed me for the last time. At least, for the next
                       eight months". That timeframe is, of course,
                       arbitrary.


                       I would later discover that my inability to access
                       the darknet was actually due to an ongoing attack
                       on the networks, and just happened to coincide with
                       my switching of kernels.


                # ⚓ Wake-on-LAN_Script_Update⠀⇛


                       For context, I use Wake-on-LAN so I don't have to
                       manually power on my cluster of Lenovo machines
                       (worker nodes) every morning. The script checks the
                       MAC addresses of each machine and sends a "magic
                       packet" to wake them up.


                       Recently, my script stopped working. My master node
                       Tiny kept running this script but the workers
                       didn't wake up. The reason is that Wake-on-LAN
                       packets are sent as broadcast messages. Without
                       specifying the broadcast IP, the packets were only
                       being sent to a single IP, which doesn't always
                       reach sleeping machines. This is why my machines
                       stopped waking up.


                # ⚓ Mitch_Altman_Is_Back_with_a_New_Longer-Range_TV-B-Gone,_Now
                  Featuring_an_Espressif_ESP32⠀⇛


                       Noted maker Mitch Altman is updating his classic
                       TV-B-Gone, unveiling a next-generation variant that
                       delivers a longer range — and may include code
                       learning and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
                       connectivity by the time its design is finalized.


                       "Imagine a dystopian future, filled with monitors,
                       marketing at us everywhere we go. Sadly, we are
                       living that future now," Altman says of the
                       original origins of his soldering kit design. "This
                       kit is super useful, not only for yourself, but for
                       everyone! And while maybe that's dramatic, the TV-
                       B-Gone is perfect for playing pranks on your
                       friends during the Super Bowl or getting some peace
                       and quiet during dinner."


                       At its heart, the TV-B-Gone is nothing more than a
                       scripted infrared emitter: push the button and it
                       runs through a pre-recorded "macro" of flashes
                       designed to replicate the "Off" signal for more
                       than 260 models of TV from around the world. Leave
                       it running while pointing at a set, and eventually
                       it'll hit on the right code to turn it off —
                       bringing blessed peace, or an irate Super Bowl fan
                       depending on when and how you choose to use it.

                       Despite shockwaves reverberating within the
                       industry as Sarah Bond and Phil Spencer leave Xbox,
                       it is far from the first time a major player in
                       gaming has seen executive shakeups. Nintendo
                       President Doug Bowser stepped down from his
                       position in December 2025, after filling the role
                       of his predecessor, Reggie Fils-Aime, who had left
                       the role in 2019. Only time will tell if Bond and
                       Spencer's successors make any critical changes in
                       the coming years, so interested fans may want to
                       follow along for any upcoming announcements from
                       new CEO of Microsoft Gaming Asha Sharma or others
                       at Xbox.

                       Lawyers for CILEX will today tell the Court of
                       Appeal that operating in a post-Mazur framework is
                       ‘unsustainable’ and at odds with the whole point of
                       the Legal Services Act.


                       The representative body for chartered legal
                       executives will lead the appeal which begins this
                       afternoon – the outcome of which could have major
                       repercussions for the profession and for access to
                       justice.


                       Mr Justice Sheldon ruled last September that
                       litigation was a reserved activity and as such
                       could only be conducted by authorised individuals.

                       Master of the Rolls Lord Justice Vos, Chancellor of
                       the High Court Lord Justice Birss and Lady Justice
                       Andrews will today hear the Mazur appeal.


                       Starting this afternoon and continuing for the
                       whole of Wednesday and Thursday, the court will
                       hear from CILEX, which is bringing the appeal, and
                       six interveners – including Julia Mazur and Jerome
                       Stuart, the original defendants.


                       The others are the Solicitors Regulation Authority
                       (SRA), Law Society, Legal Services Board,
                       Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL) and

                 Zach Bryan’s concert raised a broader question: Why does

                       manufacturers of the widely used chemical, like

                       out billions of dollars in settlements and jury

                       to head off future lawsuits.


                       Bayer has said that if it cannot find relief from

                       “entirely foreseeable”.


                       Amazon is going hard on slop generators. LLMs are
                       extremely complex systems. And complexity creates
                       real risk. I recently wrote about how the real
                       danger of LLM-based tools is less about
                       “autonomous” attacks, and more about introducing
                       massive additional complexity, and thus additional
                       risk, into existing systems.


                       These outages are a great example of exactly that.

                             While I was laying down to take a nap today
                             (yes I take a nap every afternoon) I started
                             thinking about what a fucking shit show
                             social media is and how in my opinion it is
                             destroying society.


                             Social media as we know it today started in
                             2003 with MySpace and was then overtaken by
                             Facebook and has progressed to what we have
                             today. I was born in 1945, which means I
                             lived the first 58 years of my life without
                             social media. At 81 now, I've had a front-row
                             seat to watch what it's done to society over
                             the past two decades. My introduction to
                             personal computers was in the mid-1980's. I
                             had a Compaq portable that was my work
                             computer and a Commodore 64 that I bought and
                             used at home. I've always been fascinated
                             with computers and considered tinkering with
                             them a hobby that I still enjoy to this day.

                       But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a
                       reason for this. There’s a reason that education
                       sucks. And it’s the same reason that it will never
                       ever. Ever be fixed. It’s never going to get any
                       better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you
                       got. BECAUSE THE OWNERS OF THIS COUNTRY DON’T WANT
                       THAT. I’m talking about the real owners now. The
                       real owners. The big, wealthy business interests
                       that control things and make all the important
                       decisions. Forget the politicians… they’re
                       irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give
                       you the idea that you have freedom of choice. YOU
                       DON’T. YOU HAVE NO CHOICE. YOU HAVE OWNERS. THEY
                       OWN YOU. THEY OWN *EVERYTHING*! They own all the
                       important land. They own and control the
                       corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid
                       for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, and
                       city halls. They got the judges in their back
                       pocket. And they own all the big media companies so
                       they control just about all of the news and
                       information you get to hear!


                       THEY’VE GOT YOU BY THE BALLS! They spend billions
                       of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying to get
                       what they want. Well, we know what they want. They
                       want more for themselves and less for everybody
                       else. But I’ll tell you what they don’t want. They
                       don’t want a population of citizens capable of
                       critical thinking. They don’t want well-informed.
                       Well educated people capable of critical thinking.
                       They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help
                       them. That’s against their interest. That’s right.
                       They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit
                       around the kitchen table and figure out how badly
                       they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them
                       overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want
                       that. You know what they want? They want OBEDIENT
                       WORKERS. OBEDIENT WORKERS. People who are just
                       smart enough to run the machines and do the
                       paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept
                       all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower
                       pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits. The
                       end of overtime and the vanishing pension that
                       disappears the minute you go to collect it.

                       “It’s called ‘the American Dream’ because you have
                       to be asleep to believe it.” This is why Carlin
                       interrupted Shelley Winters: his problem with The
                       United States of America goes to the roots, and is
                       not a matter of cosmetic improvement, as liberals
                       tend to think. Carlin’s take on American History is
                       far closer to that of Howard Zinn than the “vital
                       center” historians’ consensus that the Founding
                       Fathers were humane geniuses, with minor internal
                       disagreements, who created “the indispensable
                       nation”. A better take on the American republic is,
                       as Carlin put it, that it was founded on double
                       standards: e.g., “a bunch of slave owners who
                       wanted to be free”. The “double-standards” trope is
                       pure Zinn; and even if you can fault Zinn’s
                       narrative for being one-dimensional, it is hard to
                       dispute that about that one dimension Zinn was
                       substantially right.

                             attitudes. However, those studies could not
                             determine whether early algorithmic exposure
                             had already shaped political views.

                             Notifications already told you what you
                             needed to know. A headline arrived, you read
                             it or you didn’t, and the words were the ones
                             the journalist had written. Apple looked at
                             that perfectly functional system and decided
                             it needed an AI layer on top, not because
                             users were struggling with notifications, but
                             because Apple Intelligence needed a visible
                             use case to justify its existence. The
                             feature shipped, it broke almost immediately,
                             and rather than removing it Apple treated the

                             on. The assumption was never questioned: that
                             inserting AI between you and your information
                             is inherently a good idea that just needs
                             refinement.

                       its brutal assault on migrants. It knows that art
                       is dangerous, that knowledge leads to asking

                       Hope and Bill V. Mullen. When it comes to
                       documenting anti-Black fascism, they trace a longer
                       arc with respect to the rise of fascism; they show
                       just how European fascists drew from early U.S.
                       laws for their own specific fascist formations, and

                       Official narratives can be deceiving, and that is
                       especially true in this political moment. The
                       Department of Homeland Security has declared that
                       fewer than 500 federal immigration agents are
                       currently deployed in Minnesota, after announcing
                       that its monthslong assault on Minneapolis and
                       surrounding areas, dubbed Operation Metro Surge,
                       was coming to an end. But as Francis, an organizer
                       with the rapid response group Defend the 612 told
                       me, “500 is, without a doubt, still a surge.”
                       Francis pointed out that the first “surge”
                       Minneapolis saw in December was an influx of 150
                       agents. A force numbering in the hundreds — several
                       times larger than that initial deployment — is not
                       a retreat. It is a tremendous enforcement footprint
                       in a single metropolitan area, and a force capable
                       of inflicting mass terror, carrying out targeted
                       abductions, and sustaining a climate of fear.


                       This is how authoritarian governance works: when
                       backlash makes extremity costly, the state dials it
                       down just enough to shift the narrative, and what
                       remains is recast as normal. When I spoke recently
                       with members of Defend the 612, a rapid response
                       network in South Minneapolis, this tension framed
                       their reflections on what officials are calling an
                       ending.

                       The practical implication is urgent and political,
                       not merely technical. If AI-generated interfaces
                       are deployed at scale without rigorous

                       employment, public services, finance, and

                       they replicate across products, organizations, and

          o ⚓ Tom MacWright ☛ Color_dithering⠀⇛


                 On Friday I decided to revisit the topic of dithering to
                 add color. Back in 2017 I made_a_lot_of_interactive
                 examples_on_Observable_showing_different_kinds_of
                 dithering. It was fun: I distinctly remember when
                 dithering was still a concern for computers, and it was
                 one of those things, like the different color grading of
                 the different broadcast TV channels, that gave a little
                 texture to media.


                 Dithering is such a fun topic that a lot of people write
                 about it: a few articles are linked below: [...]

                       The Ambient IoT Alliance, or AIoTA, is a global,

                       develop standards for batteryless IoT devices
                       relying on energy harvesting for power. Ambient
                       Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a class of IoT
                       devices powered by radio waves, light, motion,
                       heat, or any other viable ambient energy source. It
                       is an evolution of legacy IoT and RFID technologies
                       that promises lower costs and high scalability

                       “promote and support the development of an open,
                       harmonized, and aligned multi-standard ecosystem”.

                       relied on the wonderful services of DeSEC. But now
                       that support for DNSSEC and TLSA records is finally
                       here, I switched again to Bunny DNS with all 21 of
