Voting is a powerful tool. This is one way to achieve regime change without starting World War 3. The nomination period closed at midnight on Friday, 13th. The official Debian voting period ends at midnight on 17 April, the anniversary of a notorious death that was_discussed_as_a_copy-cat suicide. Only one candidate nominated. At the midnight hour in her timezone on Friday the 13th,Sruthi_Chandran submitted a nomination. She_did_not declare_conflicts_of_interest,_her_husband_is_also_a_Debian Developer. In her platform, Sruthi_Chandran wants to replace the priorities of freedom with the rush for diversity, without explaining what she will really do. Based on past practice, we suspect they will expel more white men. This CIVS poll has been created where you can vote for Sruthi Chandran, you can vote for Héctor_Orón_Martínez who submitted his nomination after the deadline or you can vote for Dr_Norbert Preining, the only man who has been expelled twice from Debianism. You can also vote for None_of_the_Above Click_here_to_vote_on_the_CIVS_web_site You can see the results after you vote. Remember, Debianists_gave_over_$120,000_in_kill_money_to_racist_Swiss lawyerists_to_attack_my_family but they didn't pay Abraham_Raji anything for the work he did helping organise DebConf23. When Raji joined the other developers on the day trip, they_asked_him_to_contribute_some_of_his_own_money, he_was_left_behind_to_swim_alone_and_he_drowned. Yet the lawyerists were_given $120,000. The best way to encourage people to nominate for the election will be for the existing leader, Andreas_Tille, to withdraw all the privacy attacks, settle the lawsuits proactively and ensure the next leader can walk in and find the desk is clean ready to work on productive things. Don't hold your breath waiting for transparency about these attacks on my family. There is still time to watch my video and contribute_to_the crowdfunding_campaign. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Debianism Leader Community Vote 2026⦈ * Links_23/03/2026:_"Shocking_Peter_Thiel_Antichrist_Lectures",_Robert Mueller_Remembered * Slop_Means_False,_New_Article_by_Cybershow ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠢⡤⠂⠀⠠⡉⣢⢒⢰⢢⡔⡇⡒⢰⢢⢂⡔⡔⠂⢸⡖⡆⣦⢲⠐⢰⠂⡖⢴⠀⢱⡌⡖⡔⢺⢰⠂⡔⡆⢘⢭⠰⠆⡖⢆⢺⢐⡂⡶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠐⠀⠐⠂⠀⠒⠒⠀⠐⠒⠂⠒⠐⠂⠀⠐⠐⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣺⣿⣟⣿⣻⣻⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣟⣿⣟⣽⣛⣓⣿⣗⣿⣛⣻⣻⣟⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡶⢶⠶⡾⠾⠿⡶⠷⠷⠶⡶⠿⡿⢿⠿⠿⣿⠿⢿⠿⡿⢿⣿⡿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣭⣽⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣽⣽⣽⣽⣭⣽⡯⣽⣭⣯⣯⣭⣭⣯⣯⣭⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣛⣛⢟⣿⣿⣻⡟⣟⣻⡻⣛⢛⡻⣛⣻⣿⡛⣟⢛⣛⣿⣛⡟⣻⣟⣻⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣭⣿⣭⣯⣯⣭⣯⣭⣧⣯⣭⣽⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣒⣛⣒⣛⣛⣛⣚⣛⣛⣛⣺⣚⣛⣛⣛⣛⣚⣛⣞⣺⣓⣟⣚⣛⣻⣛⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣾⣶⣾⣾⣶⣿⣷⣾⣾⣿⣶⣿⣾⣾⣾⣾⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣽⣽⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣽⣿⣯⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⢻⣻⣻⠻⡟⣿⡻⣛⢻⣻⣛⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣭⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣟⣿⣟⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣺⣟⣗⣷⣖⣾⣒⣖⣳⣞⣾⣶⣒⣲⣻⣿⣿⣾⣷⣾⣿⣶⣾⣶⣿⣶⣾⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠩⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠩⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣥⣵⣮⣧⣽⣭⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣽⣾⣿⣷⣿⣷⣿⣷⣯⣽⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣟⣒⣓⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠶⡾⠶⠾⠶⢶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣟⣟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣟⡻⣟⣟⣛⣿⣟⣟⢛⣻⣛⣛⣿⣛⣛⣻⣿⣛⣛⣟⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⠿⠿⡿⠿⢿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣛⣟⣿⣻⣻⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣟⣿⣻⣟⣻⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 201 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/03/23/Fear_is_Not_a_Legitimate_Factor.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/03/23/Fear_is_Not_a_Legitimate_Factor.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fear is Not a Legitimate Factor⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 23, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Gargoyle Statue⦈ People who surrender to threats and refuse to take risk will rarely accomplish anything because progress in society depends on those who do what ordinary or docile people would be afraid to do, even when it's feasible and lawful. Take our_birds for example. 2 months ago (January 21) we got a letter_from_the_Council. We spoke to them, explained to them the situation, and carried on. They've been quiet since, knowing there's not much they can do because feeding birds is permitted and harassing people who feed birds would cause backlash. Since then more of our neighbours joined us in feeding the birds. Each time they try to stop the feeding it merely results in more people feeding them or participating along with us (I spoke about this with a neighbour as recently as 3 days ago). Smart people know that trying to prevent moral people from doing the "Right Thing" will backfire, as more people will become aware and then become active. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Gargoyle_Statue =============================================================================== * Fuel_Autonomy_and_What_It_Teaches_Us_About_Software_Autonomy_(or_Software Freedom) * Gemini_Links_23/03/2026:_Geminispace/Elpher_Enhancement_and_the_Cerberus Cinco ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢠⠀⢈⠻⣿⢿⡿⣍⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⢀⣈⠹⣷⡿⣟⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⢟⣷⣜⠛⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣽⣝⣴⣧⡀⢉⣔⠀⢁⡁⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⡇⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢸⢙⡾⣥⢽⣧⣕⢼⣬⢫⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣭⡺⣶⡾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣷⣄⠈⠻⣯⣿⠛⣽⣿⣯⠟⡉⣜⠷⢄⠀⠑⣀⢂⣅ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⣿⣇⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣸⠈⠱⢟⣻⣿⣿⣶⣝⡻⢿⣿⣿⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡿⠇⠈⣽⣿⡿⠿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣟⣿⣷⣤⣀⠃⢷⣯⣝⣶⡟⣽⣮⣎⡺⣅⣠⠀⠀⠂ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⢸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣻⠷⠄⠀⠀⡄⣷⠀⢰⢭⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⡸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⠀⠛⢷⣤⣿⣿⢿⣽⣿⣟⣿⣾⣿⣷⣄⠁⠙⡪⠳⠼⣿⣽⣆⡑⣄⣀⡢⢀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣼⣿⢹⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣯⣯⡇⠀⠀⡇⡟⡐⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣶⣄⠙⢻⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⣽⢷⡀⢘⡟⠆⠐⠳⠘⠽⠅⣑⠠⡬ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⢾⠀⠁⠁⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⡇⠀⢓⡽⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣯⣙⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣶⣾⣟⠿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡾⠷⣿⡗⣆⡀⠉⠀⠁⠴⡤⠚⠴ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⢰⣓⠹⠟⣛⠻⢿⠀⢠⡄⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⢀⢰⢳⣿⣆⠀⠙⠻⢿⣿⡝⠻⢿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣻⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⣛⣙⡛⠛⠿⣟⢿⣷⣿⣣⣽⢿⣀⠀⣿⢥⣉⣈⠳⠂⠀⠀⠚⠋⠘ ⠀⠀⠀⠠⢸⠀⡚⣷⠖⣃⡭⣑⠤⣫⣿⡇⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣼⣿⢸⣿⣻⣿⣷⣤⡀⠘⠻⣷⣄⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣵⠏⡵⠛⠛⠿⡻⡕⠍⠾⣷⣄⡉⣻⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣱⣃⢂⠲⣤⡔⢄⡀⣦⣀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⠀⡧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣮⣏⢃⣿⡿⣿⣿⣯⠀⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣦⣬⠙⢩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣮⣿⣿⡧⠀⢸⣷⣯⣠⣴⡇⠈⠙⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⠻⡿⣾⡟⠾⣟⣿⣴⠶⢸⣿⣟ ⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⢠⡟⡿⣟⣻⣏⠛⢿⣟⡟⠠⠤⠶⢼⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⡟⣯⣿⠿⣿⢷⢿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⠂⢀⣴⣾⣟⡵⠗⠅⠁⢀⢰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⠿⡻⡉⣉⡀⡿⢽⡿⠪ ⣄⠀⠀⢸⡆⢸⢏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣽⣷⣾⣿⣿⣶⣿⣏⢸⣿⢏⣿⣿⣷⣷⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢻⠟⠉⢀⣀⡄⣀⡻⣿⣿⡳⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣶⣶⣦⣼⡆⣬⣾⣿⣷⣄ ⠀⠑⠦⣝⠁⣸⢳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣧⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⣵⣽⣼⣿⣿⡿⠿⠋⠁⣾⡇⠃⠀⢀⣴⣿⡿⢅⠀⠈⠊⠉⢄⣰⣠⣀⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿ ⠑⠢⣀⠀⠁⡾⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠑⠛⣮⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣼⣿⣿⡿⠛⠋⠀⠠⠀⢰⡟⡇⠀⠀⠈⡿⠁⠀⠛⠀⠀⢠⣴⣾⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣏⠛⠃ ⠀⠀⠀⠑⠦⡃⣹⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⡗⣗⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⡵⣻⣿⣫⣀⠂⠀⠀⢀⠀⠘⡅⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⢺⢛⣄ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣮⣻⣿⣿⣿⡇⢻⣟⢽⣛⡿⠏⠉⠩⠙⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠾⠋⠁⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣻⣷⣳⢛⣄⢛⣜⣫ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢭⣭⢿⣿⣮⠙⠛⠟⣙⢻⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠀⠀⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣤⣬⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡙⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣻⣝⢻⡿⢿⣿⠤⡫⢩⠉ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠓⠛⠛⣫⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⣙⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡿⣿⡾⢿⣿⡆⠉⠛⠔⣿⢶ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡟⠃⢾⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠃⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣿⣦⣍⡙⣿⣾⣷⣼⣿⣞⡟⢲⣩⠅⠐⠀⠀⠀⠸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣭⣙⠻⢟⠯⣿⣤⣯⠀⡲⢤⣶⡀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⡳⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⠈⠊⢛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡈⠂⠉⠻⣳⡰⠿⣿⣿⣿⣷ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⢿⣿⣿⢛⠻⣿⣿⣷⣤⡀⠀⠉⢛⣿⣉⣹⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣯⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⣦⡀⠉⢁⠀⠀⠉⠙⠁ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢧⣼⣿⣻⣻⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠈⠻⢿⠿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣞⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣽⣿⣿⡯⣶⣿⣷⣼⣿⢿⠟⠲⡤⣪⣷⣤⡀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣊⣿⡾⣿⣝⣙⣿⡿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠉⠈⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢖⠚⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⠳⠴⣎⠙⡿⣟⢣⣤⣤⢶⢿⢺⠷⣦⢬⡄⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠾⢿⣻⣎⠀⢻⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣆⣤⣦⣽⣿⣛⢿⣿⡶⡿⢻⣷⢟⣅⠔⣶⡭⣻⣿⣿⣿⣊⡀⡀⢯⣳⢿⢿⣩⣷⣼⢨⣟⠁⡏⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠤⠀⠀⣿⣴⣾⡟⢿⣆⠈⠋⠲⢿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣉⣆⠀⢛⣟⣠⣶⢿⡿⠫⣞⠊⢽⣞⠿⡟⠗⠪⠷⣿⣦⡀⠙⠺⠤⣝⠛⠊⠐⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣣⡍⡌⠍⠻⣏⠀⢉⣻⣆⡀⠀⠘⠻⣿⣿⣿⣧⠻⣿⣯⣹⡛⣿⣿⣟⢽⣭⣡⠀⠀⠻⣯⣭⡭⢑⠭⢦⢥⢽⣩⣉⢠⡐⢦⣀⣀⠺⠪⠤⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 283 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/03/23/Fuel_Autonomy_and_What_It_Teaches_Us_About_Software_Autonomy_or.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/03/23/Fuel_Autonomy_and_What_It_Teaches_Us_About_Software_Autonomy_or.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Fuel Autonomy and What It Teaches Us About Software Autonomy (or Software Freedom)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 23, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Air freight being loaded on to a airplane⦈ Energy prices - which mostly correlate with availability/abundance - are a key theme/topic_in_the_news_these_days. The prices of energy impact the price of food (transport, fertilisers etc.) and the price/sales of automobiles (also connected to transport), change the volume of travel/tourists, and generally reduce spendings (people on a tighter budget, as petrol/electricity bills rise, have less left to spend on "unnecessary" purchases... by some definition of unnecessary... some people will compromise their health due to critical affordability considerations). Does this mean the economy will stagnate beyond the point of fast/easy recovery? Well, that's already happening (see latest Daily Links with focus on Canada and Germany, based on their respective national broadcasters). In China, a growing dependence on imports of energy will rear its ugly face sooner or later. There are press articles to that effect as well. For now, a lot more fossil fuel "remains in the ground" (maybe it should) and nations that transitioned away from petrochemicals are better off. It's not that they're unaffected (demand grew for fossil fuel alternatives, as did prices), it's just that they have greater control over their destiny. They have more autonomy. We'll spare the discussions about India, China, and Russia (BRIC/S) oil relations and how they impact funding for wars - as "that's politics!" The media has rightly pointed out that oil reserves are being used if not used up and depleted (they won't last very long; even if the war ends and ships come out, there's still a huge "backlogs", rich nations will hoard what comes out of the channel as they can pay more, and there's repair work needed at extraction/ refinement facilities). It's an ugly situation. The "best case scenario" is normality within 12 months. Nations will try to replenish their reserves and maybe build bigger reserves than before (lessons learned from a painful past scarcity). But what about software? Did Denmark realise that using Microsoft (or GAFAM) is a risk? Did the EU realise this? Did Europe (e.g. Norway)? Norway is willing to be friends with Canada, but it's understandably apprehensive about the US. We added some links about that only an hour ago. What happens (or may happen) when the US "drops the (digital) bomb" or flips the switch? A lot of American companies already have de_facto_"kill_switches" in their products, including military equipment exported to Europe and elsewhere. Microsoft sponsors_the_Cheeto and profits_from_his_racist_raids. Fossil fuels are old (an industrial revolution thing), software is relatively new.

In the words of the union: SUEPO had called to demonstrate against the “orientations for a new salary adjustment procedure” which plan an intensification of the erosion of EPO salaries, pensions and others benefits without any financial basis. During the demonstration, the speakers addressed the situation of 5-year contracts, the lack of respect from upper management, the importance of strike as a collective bargain instrument, work-to-rule for examiners and formalities officers and how BIT can support the industrial actions. Ahead of the SUEPO demonstration they gathered to organise this and about 5 hours ago they did the same. Here are some photos and coverage from the demonstration: 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 Staff Union of the European Patent Office (SUEPO) 23 March 2026 su26013mp – 0.2.1/0.2.2 § Demonstration of 18 March 2026 in front of the Isar building and Strike on 19 March ⠀➾ A big thank you for your support! Dear SUEPO members Dear Colleagues, On 18 March 2026, 700 colleagues and pensioners braved the Munich Spring cold to demonstrate in front of the Isar building. 500 additional attendees connected to the live feed put in place for the first time in the history of SUEPO demonstrations. A total of 1.200 attendees. The strike on 19 March was also very well followed with 1.620 participants. Thank you for your support! 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇SUEPO demonstrations⦈ SUEPO had called to demonstrate against the “orientations for a new salary adjustment procedure” tabled by Mr Campinos in the March meeting of the Administrative Council. The document plans an intensification of the erosion of EPO salaries, pensions and others benefits without any financial basis. The presence of EPO pensioners in the demonstration was all the more justified that they had also paid contributions during their whole career for a pension to be indexed on increases in costs of living and now find themselves with a plummeting pension. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇EPO_financial_basis⦈_ SUEPO Munich registered the demonstration with the city of Munich for the participants to be authorised to stay on the sidewalk and the pavement. SUEPO Munich benefitted from the help and support of SUEPO The Hague, Berlin and Vienna. The organisers displayed banners of SUEPO and of the Union Syndicale Fédérale, a federation of unions of whom SUEPO is a member, and provided participants with placards. ===================================================================== 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇EPO_demonstration⦈_ For this special occasion, our colleague Iñaki attempted the challenge to cycle from The Hague to Munich (~850 km) during 2,5 days with the support of a “follow car”. After leaving The Hague on Monday night and despite an accident of his “follow car” on the last day, Iñaki arrived on Wednesday at 12.40 hrs at the Isar building just in time to share his joy with the crowd. During the demonstration, SUEPO executive members and staff representatives from all sites greeted the crowd and took the floor to address specific topics. Among them were the situation of 5-year contracts, the lack of respect from upper management, the importance of strike as a collective bargain instrument, work-to-rule for examiners and formalities officers and how BIT can support the industrial actions. The crowd applauded the interventions and the attendees in the live feed posted their supportive reactions in the MS Teams chat. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇ion brumme, epo, demonstration⦈ Shortly before the end of the demonstration, staff representatives participating in the Administrative Council went inside the Isar building to join the afternoon meeting with the delegates. Since they were refused permission to share slides on the screens, they had to improvise and distributed printed handouts on every delegate’s desk to accompany their intervention. The delegates listened carefully, and the staff representatives left them with the question of whether the risks outlined of legal uncertainty, social unrest, reduced productivity, lower income for national offices, and weakened recruitment are worth it when the same outcome of lowering average salaries and pensions will be achieved anyway within 10 years as the impact of the new career system and the new pension scheme will be fully realised, without undermining staff trust. When closing the demonstration, SUEPO reminded that the most powerful action every one of us can take is to join the organised strikes and to contribute to the work-to- rule action which is having an impressive impact on the drop in number of products/grants and hence the income of the national patent offices of the delegates. Thank you for your support in the demonstration! We need your support to support you. SUEPO Munich Well done and well attended. Imagine the media finding the guts integrity to cover this. This strike was even bigger than the_previous_record-breaker. █ * Mass_Layoffs_at_HashiCorp,_IBM_Hid_Them * SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_20_Out_of_200:_All_Roads_Lead_to_Rome_and_to GAFAM_Funding

Last month we mentioned HashiCorp layoffs [1, 2]. This month we see lots of Confluent layoffs. IBM is gutting what it buys. It_also_culls_"blue"_workers_in secret. Then it pretends everything is alright and things have never been better! As an insider put it 3 weeks ago: "I miss HashiCorp. The company before IBM, the licensing changes, and the IPO. I miss my old colleagues, our community, and the things the company stood for. I’m so sorry to everyone that was affected by the layoffs this week." The media did not mention those layoffs. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇I miss HashiCorp. The company before IBM, the licensing changes, and the IPO.

Krishna (from left to right)⦈ IBM basically_laid_off_almost_1,000_people_last_week. Not a single news site mentioned this. We saw one slopfarm mentioning that in passing, but it wasn't journalism about IBM, it was just slop (machine-generated text) with CG images (fusion). 2 hours ago we saw Pakistani media saying: "Over time, other software development companies have been restructuring, including IBM, which has replaced human roles in human resources & back-office functions with AI and automation." This is actually slop about slop. The image is also slop. It's a fake article with unverified claims (IBM spin), basically IBM trying to twist commercial failure and mass layoffs as "hey hi". At the moment about 75% of the 'articles' we see about IBM (in recent days) are some kind of slop, so actual news won't get covered, let alone investigated. Some hours ago someone_commented_on_the_scale_of_layoffs_at_IBM, once acquisitions are deducted from the tally: IBM isn’t lying when they say low single digits worldwide. Where it gets interesting is when you apply the numbers regionally. The 2700 number referenced in the article was dated in Nov of 2025. I would speculate the 2700 was applied almost exclusively to NA [North American] thus making the layoff approx 5% when it came to NA. Add in another 1k of acquired new hires (SW purchases like Hashi every couple of months and you are up close to 10-12% of legacy employees getting laid off and the new SW hires backfilling). IBM seems to ping pong the layoffs. NA one time then Europe the second. The net of this is Yes its low single digits per layoff, BUT with multiple layoffs per year they are hitting 6-8k total worth of folks per year and 8-10 K worth of legacy employees per year with back filling via SW purchases IBM does not buy companies ("SW purchases") for their people, it needs their revenues to fake 'growth' where none exists. It then guts_their_products_to squeeze_their_customers, like Broadcom_did_with_VMware. █ * Links_23/03/2026:_Security_Breaches,_Energy_Shortages,_Another_SRA Scandal,_and_Patents_on_Nature * Scheduled_Maintenance_This_Coming_Wednesday ⣿⣿⡟⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⡿⡟⣿⣿⣿⠻⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⣣⣇⣇⢀⣢⣜⣸⣔⣇⣜⣼⣸⣸⠤⣸⣧⣃⣆⣧⣣⣿⣜⣥⣣⣢⣧⣳⣠⣹⣧⣆⣇⣝⣼⣸⣰⣡⣣⣧⣿⣜⣽⣏⣦⣁⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢟⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣇⣘⣰⢡⣇⣢⣆⣰⣿⣜⣰⣇⣘⣔⣸⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠻⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣩⣫⣟⣿⣽⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣭⣾⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣰⠶⠟⠻⠉⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠒⢿⣻⡿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣶⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣺⡿⠋⢁⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣶⣿⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣋⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣉⣅⡙⢿⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⡐⠉⠀⠀⠈⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⢵⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢀⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢃⠀⠘⡇⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠻⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠉⠁⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⢀⠀⣈⠙⠿⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⢐⡇⠀⠀⡇⠀⠨⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢩⡀⠀⠀⠤⡌⠻⣿⢻⠂⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⢹⣿⡶⠀⢀⣠⣿⣿⣀⣴⣴⣦⣴⣾⡆⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⣽⣧⣿⣸⣦⣌⣠⣀⢢⣭⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣇⡀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣹⢿⡋⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣘⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠙⢿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⢤⠓⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣭⣿⣵⣿⡟⠨⣶⣤⣈⠁⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣟⢷⣶⣿⡟⠁⠀⡙⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣾⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣉⠀⠀⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠸⢲⠆⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⡿⢫⡿⠿⣿⠇⠀⣦⣼⣓⡃⠁⠀⢀⣴⡜⠀⠀⡇⢰⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⡄⠙⣿⡗⠀⢱⡇⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⠉⢋⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣤⡄⠈⠜⠿⠋⠀⠀⢨⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⡇⣼⣿⣦⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠛⠀⠨⠍⠀⠛⠁⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⢿⣿⣿⣏⣤⠦⡤⠖⢠⠚⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣶⣼⣤⣀⡀⢀⣉⡴⠀⠀⣰⣭⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⣡⠀⠀⠀⢀⡜⠀⠀⣀⣽⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⡾⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⢀⣀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣍⣠⡿⢋⠄⠀⢠⣿⣿⠀⢀⣤⣄⠀⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠾⠀⠀⠀⢾⣥⣄⣲⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠛⠛⠿⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣾⣿⡿⢋⢻⣿⣿⡻⠿⠿⠟⠛⠁⠀⣀⢀⡜⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣷⡏⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠂⢸⣿⣿⡟⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣠⣼⠶⢶⣶⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠋⠁⠀⢸⢸⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⡿⣽⡇⠱⡉⠒⠿⣿⣿⡇⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠉⠡⠒⢠⠠⢴⠏⠀⢸⣿⣿⡯⠀⠈⢹⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⢀⡀⣀⣴⠞⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣭⠵⠞⢻⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⢿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣎⢿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣷⣴⣿⡿⠚⢿⡇⠀⠳⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣴⣶⣬⣵⣖⣥⣔⢰⣮⣭⣥⣤⠁⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⢈⡄⠐⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠺⣿⣯⡄⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢸⠀⠀⠀⠸⠛⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣡⣦⣈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⢝⣶⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠩⣾⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣋⣉⣴⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠘⠉⠉⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⢸⣿⣯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢫⣉⢙⣿⠟⠘⡄⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣾⢿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⡿⠀⠀⢗⣆⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠯⣾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠁⠀⠁⢹⠏⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣼⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⡘⠛⠋⠉⢉⣀⡀⠀⠀⠲⠯⠹⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⣠⣶⠛⠙⠿⠉⠁⠀⠀⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⢼⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⣀⣴⣶⣶⡖⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⢀⡸⠛⠢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣌⠺⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣷⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1244 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/03/23/Over_at_Tux_Machines.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/03/23/Over_at_Tux_Machines.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Over at Tux Machines...⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 23, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Sorceress⦈ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Sorceress⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ 1. ⚓ GStreamer_1.30_to_Support_HDR10+_Metadata_Parsing_from_H.265_&_AV1 Bitstreams⠀⇛ GStreamer 1.30 has entered development for this popular open- source and cross-platform multimedia framework, with a first development milestone now available for public testing.

Yesterday's part has clearly struck a nerve despite being perfectly OK. It seems like somebody conflates "hurt feelings" with "illegality"; that somebody has no comprehension of English then. Nor an understanding of freedom of the press. For those who didn't follow this series closely, the gist of it all is, the High Court's judge did acknowledge that both my wife and I got abused by sockpuppet accounts that poured onto our IRC network and did illegal things. She added that we neither invited nor deserved this. The judge did not, however, accept that Garrett was responsible for those sockpuppet accounts. She told me, upfront, that we would not be able to present evidence and accepted that on financial_grounds we were not able to afford witness statements (because Garrett collaborated with a Serial_Strangler_from_Microsoft to drain our legal budget just shortly after we had sued him [1, 2].

Quoting some portions from it: Nowadays, just construct whatever fantasy world you want to believe in, and if you get caught out, simply apologise. Or attack the person who called you out. CEOs, politicians and senior leaders now live in a world of "optics", and "perception management" where "defining the narrative" is the whole game. Not the icing atop a cake of otherwise serious competence. Not just "public relations (PR)" to smooth along glitches in a mostly well-oiled and functional machine. No, fantasy is the whole damned show. Appearances have wholly supplanted reality. [...] ...it soon became apparent that information systems provide a shortcut. Instead of reliably gathering data via expensive telemetry, painfully analysing to extract salient facts and truth, processing it with expensive computers, enacting difficult changes and disseminating carefully fact-checked news, why not just tell people what they want to believe is true. This works perfectly alongside a system of money which has ceased to function for social utility to facilitate an "economy" but has disconnected into a land of financial fantasy. [...] We are living in a world that is rapidly divesting from reality. Or rather, a world where those who purport to lead, in thought and deed, are moving away from the personal responsibility of living in reality. The signs are everywhere; Just this week; Google now uses "AI" to replace_news_headlines with what it "thinks they mean". Not what they say. Three quarters of people claim they would use a fake human as a fantasy friend. Gladiatorial fantasy is on the rise as Moltbook, the "social network for bots" demonstrates a spectacle of "Peak_AI_theatre". Ryan Cooper's insightful_piece on the legacy of Chuck Norris is shrewd in noting the descent of politics into total fantasy. [...] Younger readers, please don't think this is a recent phenomenon and wholly the fault of "AI" or gamification of everything. The trajectory started in the 1980s when Ronald Reagan was the first fantasy president, a hyper-real film actor "famous for being famous" who played the role of a statesman and joked about nuking Russia. Trump is a comparative amateur on the stage and "AI" simply compounds the reality-break established by social media, and television before it.

It lives on a tiny Ubuntu Server machine in another room. My Arch laptop just mounts it and plays. Simple. # ⚓ Mandatory_car,_mandatory_smartphone⠀⇛ I'm old enough to remember a time when not everybody owned a car or, indeed, any motor vehicle. When I lived London in central London I managed without one for years. Where I live now, owning a motor vehicle is essentially mandatory. There's no public transport to speak of, and every place I need to get to is too far to walk. Most of Britain is now like this - - cars have become so entrenched in our lives that planners and developers don't even consider the needs of non-motorists. Since everybody now owns a car, they assume, why should anybody go to the effort and expense of providing for somebody who doesn't? Consequently, to live any kind of normal life, we now all need a car. Never mind that cars are expensive and a huge source of pollution; never mind that they kill thousands of people every year. You have to suck it up and buy one, and few people complain. Of course, we would have complained, had the situation been foisted on us overnight. Instead, it crept up on us with such stealth that nobody really noticed what was happening. By the time we realized that our country had become a mass of tarmac, full of gridlocked, frustrated motorists, it was too late to do anything about it. In fact, we buy ever more cars, because there's no alternative. A car is now mandatory for almost every British adult. Things are going the same way with smartphones. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ twttr.eu⠀⇛ # ⚓ On_letting_perfect_be_the_enemy_of_good_in_the_small net⠀⇛ The aphorism "perfect is the enemy of good" reflects the fact that even imperfect things can be valuable. Many of us -- especially those of us who work with computers -- tend to be perfectionists. We can spend hours or days trying to make something just right, even something relatively trivial. It's a trait I recognize in myself. I've spent hours getting all the metadata tags in my huge collection of audio files perfectly consistent, to the extent that I don't actually have time to listen to the music. Sometimes I obsess for hours about the perfect choice of word in my writing, only to come back later and delete the entire page. I've been know to get up at night, and straighten paintings on the wall. In the world of the small net/web, the Gemini protocol is not perfect. Spartan is not perfect. IndieWeb 'micro-formats' are not perfect. The Gopher protocol is definitely not perfect, in a way that ought to have been patently obvious even in the 1970s. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

The FlyTrap attack uses special patterns to exploit deficiencies in Autonomous Target Tracking (ATT), often referred to as Active Track, Motion Track, or Dynamic Track. FlyTrap patterns can be easily carried around and deployed by anyone, as the researchers printed them on “adversarial umbrellas.” In essence, this seems like a deliciously lo-fi counter to a hi-tech hazard. Umbrellas are also useful if it rains, or for portable shade. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Micron_predicts_that_cars_will_need 300GB_of_RAM_—_memory-laden_vehicles_could_exacerbate shortages_but_create_'robust_long-term_growth_in automotive_memory_demand'⠀⇛ There are six levels of vehicle autonomy, starting at L0 for cars that have no driving automation whatsoever. A vehicle with a single automated system (such as cruise control) counts as L1, while those equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that both control steering and acceleration, such as Tesla’s Autopilot and Cadillac’s Super Cruise, are considered as L2. On the other hand, vehicles with L4 autonomy basically do not need human intervention in any task, like overtaking or deciding when to cross a busy intersection. However, it still gives the driver the option to take control and manually drive the vehicle. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Magnetic_Fluid_Injected_Into_The_Heart_May Prevent_Strokes,_Scientists_Think⠀⇛ This could have a substantial impact on global health. # ⚓ NYPost ☛ The_real_reasons_you’re_still_exhausted_after_8 hours_of_sleep,_according_to_an_expert⠀⇛ About one in three adults has poor sleep quality — and several daily habits could be to blame. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Attack_on_a_Sudan_Hospital_Kills_Dozens, Head_of_W.H.O._Says⠀⇛ The group’s director general said 13 children were among those killed in the latest violence in the Darfur region, and he decried the targeting of health care facilities in the civil war. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ UN_warns_of_mounting_mental_health_emergency_for children_in_Palestine⠀⇛ The United Nations (UN) warned Thursday that children in Palestine are facing a mounting mental health emergency amid escalating violence, displacement, and loss, with over one million children in Gaza now in urgent need of mental and psychosocial support. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Scientists_Just_Found_Something_Rather_Grim_That Happens_When_You_Stop_Taking_GLP-1s⠀⇛ "People need to realize that there's a price of stopping." # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Bacterial_Meningitis_Survivors_Face Life‑Altering_Effects,_Expert_Says⠀⇛ "I thought my life was absolutely done and dusted." o § Proprietary⠀➾ # § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ The_MacBook_Neo_is_the_Linux_desktop killer_that_no_one_expected⠀⇛ No matter how much I love Linux, it's still something most users install to breathe new life into older hardware.

A case management hearing in the regulatory case against Lu was adjourned in January to allow her to respond to allegations brought against her by the SRA. However a three-person panel heard last week that Lu had not yet filed the expected documentation and, Lorraine Trench, for the SRA, said: ‘One can assume…the reason for the respondent’s lack of engagement is more likely she does not wish to engage with proceedings.’ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-03-16_[Older]_China:_'Ethnic_unity' law_sparks_fears_of_forced_integration⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-03-12_[Older]_China_passes controversial_'ethnic_unity'_law⠀⇛ § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ 2026-03-13_[Older]_Quo_Vadis_mRNA_Vaccine_Technology? _The State_of_the_IP_Lawsuits⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2026-03-10_[Older]_Moderna_Settles_Patent_Litigation_with Arbutus_et_al.⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2026-03-16_[Older]_Judge_Newman_Seeks_Recourse_from_Supreme Court⠀⇛ # ⚓ IP Kat ☛ 2026-03-13_[Older]_'Tang_Gold'_is_not_essentially derived_from_'Nadorcott'_plant_variety,_finds_Patents_Court [Ed: Why are patents granted on nature in the first place?]⠀⇛ =============================================================================== Image source: Compendium_rarissimum_totius_Artis_Magicae_sistematisatae_per celeberrimos_Artis_hujus_Magistros =============================================================================== * Over_at_Tux_Machines... * Most_Press_Articles_About_IBM_Are_LLM_Slop,_Sometimes_With_Slop_Images ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3096 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Links 23/03/2026: "Shocking Peter Thiel Antichrist Lectures", Robert Mueller Remembered⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 23, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Mueller_as_Assistant_Attorney_General_for_the_Criminal Division,_1992⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Leftovers o Science o Career/Education o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Proprietary o Security # Privacy/Surveillance o Defence/Aggression o Transparency/Investigative_Reporting o Environment # Energy/Transportation # Wildlife/Nature o AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics o Freedom_of_Information_/_Freedom_of_the_Press o Civil_Rights_/_Policing_/_Accessibility o Digital_Restrictions_(DRM) o Monopolies/Monopsonies # Copyrights * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ With_Chuck_Norris,_the_Meme_Was_the_Message⠀⇛ It is tempting to remember all this as innocent, and in a sense it was: a comic mockery and celebration of strength and masculine invulnerability. Norris memes were not written by Pentagon contractors or engagement farmers in a content bunker. They were just jokes passed around by bored people amusing one another. But you can see something more sinister in them too: an early lesson in memetic power. The AI-generated slop that now saturates right-wing social media, including from Donald Trump himself — Trump as Roman emperor, Iran crushed beneath a digital boot, the endless parade of hypermasculine fantasy imagery — often feels like a weaponized descendant of “Chuck Norris Facts.” o ⚓ Vintage Everyday ☛ Vintage_Covers_of_Fantastic_Novels_Magazine⠀⇛ Launched in 1940 as a companion to Famous Fantastic Mysteries, it specialized in reviving classic “lost world” adventures and imaginative romances that had long been out of print. What truly set the magazine apart was its breathtaking visual identity, featuring the iconic, ethereal cover art of Virgil Finlay and Lawrence Stevens, it transformed each issue into a collector’s masterpiece. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ El País ☛ Marc_Abrahams,_founder_of_the_satirical_Ig_Nobel Prizes:_‘Scientists_in_the_US_are_very_angry._People_are waking_up’⠀⇛ The awards are moving to Switzerland, because their founder believes he can no longer guarantee the laureates’ safety in the United States o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ StokeonTrentLive ☛ 'I_have_a_masters_degree_but_have_500 job_rejections_-_now_I'm_on_benefits'⠀⇛ A university graduate with a master's degree says he has been turned down for 500 jobs. Theo dal Pozzo, 23, has described the hunt as "demoralising". He graduated with a first-class postgraduate degree in computer science, specialising in machine learning, from the University of Exeter in 2024. # ⚓ APNIC ☛ Strengthening_network_security_and_visibility through_APNIC_products_and_tools⠀⇛ To support this, APNIC Academy is hosting an upcoming webinar to help strengthen your network security with APNIC products and tools. The session will help Members and the wider community make better use of routing security tools, services, and related information. # ⚓ Ish Sookun ☛ MSCC_March_Meetup:_Enterprise_Architecture_& 12-Factor_PHP_Infrastructure⠀⇛ The MSCC March meetup at Klanik, IconÉbène brought 22 attendees together for two talks: Ajmal Saifudeen on Enterprise Architecture and why developers should care, and Ish Sookun on applying the 12-Factor methodology to modern PHP infrastructure with Laravel, followed by an open discussion. # ⚓ Fabrizio Ferri Benedetti ☛ In_the_team_of_the_future,_roles are_verbs,_not_nouns⠀⇛ If someone asked me to set up a team in charge of software documentation, I would not hire for specific roles or cookie-cut job descriptions. Professions tied to knowledge buckets are bound to shrink or disappear. Instead, I would hire people that could move freely between four quadrants, each defined by the proximity to a focus pole and its skills. The poles in this team setup would be the following: Product Vision, Knowledge Design, Engineering Depth, and Delivery Strategy. # ⚓ Paulette Koronkevich ☛ Humanity_in_CS_&_PL,_now_more_than ever⠀⇛ Computer science, as a field and profession and technology, has become increasingly anti-human, and is accelerating an anti-human sentiment at super- sonic speeds with generative AI. This is a call for desperately bringing back the humanity in computer science, but mostly is a reflection of all the humanity that has brought me to this point. This post isn't coming up with any new synthesis, evidence, or theories on the trends in computer science. It's not a logical argument. It's just been ten years since I've started my journey in computer science, and now more than ever, I want to reflect. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ The Verge ☛ The_secret_story_of_the_vocoder,_the_military tech_that_changed_music⠀⇛ The vocoder was never supposed to be a revolution in music. It wasn’t supposed to be anything in music, really. Its development began a century ago, when an engineer at Bell Labs was looking for a simpler way to send phone calls across copper telephone lines. The engineer, Homer Dudley, built some pretty neat technology that could both capture and synthesize the human voice. # ⚓ Old VCR ☛ Refurb_weekend_double_header:_Alpha_Micro_AM- 1000E_and_AM-1200⠀⇛ I've mentioned previously my great affection for Alpha Microsystems hardware, which are rather obscure computers nowadays, but back in the 1980s and 1990s were fairly sophisticated 68000-based multiuser systems that turned up in all kinds of vertical markets. For example, my first Alpha Micro (an Eagle 300) came from a party supplies store, my Eagle 450 was in a 9-1-1 emergency dispatch centre, and I've seen or heard of them running in medical and veterinary offices, churches, and even funeral homes. In fact, I know for a fact many of these blue-collar computers are still out there quietly doing their jobs in back offices and small businesses to this day. They're probably most technically notable for AMOS, their highly efficient real-memory preemptively multitasked operating system, and the fact they are (as far as I can tell) the only 68K-based machines to effectively run little-endian. # ⚓ Mike Rockwell ☛ Nirav_Patel_Compares_the_MacBook_Neo_and Framework_12⠀⇛ If I was looking for a laptop in the MacBook Neo’s price range, the Framework 12 would be what I was comparing it against. From a pricing standpoint, the Neo comes out on top, but the Framework has the potential for a much longer lifespan. # ⚓ Bunnie Huang ☛ BIO:_The_Bao_I/O_Coprocessor⠀⇛ BIO is the I/O co-processor in the Baochip-1x, a mostly open source 22nm SoC I helped design. You can read more about the Baochip-1x’s background here, or pick up an evaluation board at Crowd Supply. In this post, I’ll talk about the origins of the BIO, starting by working through a detailed study of the Raspberry Pi PIO as a reference, before diving into the architecture of the BIO. I’ll then work through three programming examples of the BIO, two in assembly and one in C. If all you’re interested in is how to use the BIO, you can skip the background details and go around halfway down the post to the section titled “Design of the BIO”, or go right into the code examples. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ The Strategist ☛ Australia_needs_a_food_security_impact assessment⠀⇛ It’s clear from debates around the upcoming National Food Security Strategy that industry understands our vulnerability to disruption, given our concentrated processing capacity, reliance on imported inputs, tight labour markets and just-in- time logistics. These pressures are amplified by strategic contest, climate volatility and geo- economic fragmentation. Linking its agricultural sector to its defence apparatus last month, the United States is already treating its food system as a hard-power asset. Australia must apply the same pragmatism to its policy machinery, tailored to our own strategic circumstances. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ A_Model_For_HHS:_New_Mexico_Measles_Outbreak_Was Curtailed_With_Mass_Vaccination_Campaign⠀⇛ Or, gee, I don’t know, how about it being a model for the federal fucking agency with a charter that centers on keeping Americans healthy and combating infectious diseases? Why is this left to the states to figure out? States can be laboratories for democracy all we like, but infectious diseases don’t respect state borders. # ⚓ David Bushell ☛ RSS_Club_#006:_Burnout⠀⇛ Thing is though, I actually do get “thank you” emails for my stance against AI. There are a lot of developers who aren’t in a position to speak their mind. I don’t blame anyone for staying quiet when their job is on the line. I’m lucky I am my own boss. I’ve always blogged primarily for myself. That’s the secret to blogging I think. Regardless, after so many years I have the power to reach a significant audience. I feel somewhat obliged to do something with that. I’m just not sure I’m venting my frustrations in the right way. Maybe I am burning out and it’s affecting my judgement? o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ BoingBoing ☛ FedRAMP_reviewer_called_Microsoft's_federal cloud_"a_pile_of_shit"⠀⇛ FedRAMP spent 480 hours and 18 technical deep dives evaluating GCC High's security over three years. Microsoft refused to provide detailed data flow diagrams showing its encryption practices, calling the request a "rock fetching exercise." Two independent assessors, Coalfire and Kratos, back- channeled to FedRAMP that they couldn't get the full picture either. Reviewers concluded they had a "lack of confidence in assessing the system's overall security posture." FedRAMP gave up in October 2023. # ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ NTLM_and_SMB_go_opt-in⠀⇛ NTLM broke with the HTTP paradigm: it is made to authenticate the connection instead of the request, which is what HTTP authentication is supposed to do and what all the other methods do. This might sound like a tiny and insignificant detail, but it has a major impact in all HTTP implementations everywhere. Indirectly it is also the cause for quite a few security related issues in HTTP code, because NTLM needs many special exceptions and extra unique treatments. # § Artificial Intelligence (AI) / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Analyst_Warns_Against_Using_Microsoft's Copilot_AI_on_Friday_Afternoons⠀⇛ Dennis Xu, a research analyst at the firm Gartner, went as far as to suggest that companies using Copilot should ban it on Friday afternoons, because by that late juncture in the week, workers might be too checked out to double check its work. # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ How_Bad_Is_Plagiarism,_Really?⠀⇛ One of the knottiest problems in this vexing new field of endeavor concerns the relationship between A.I. and plagiarism. It could be argued that the two are nearly identical, given that artificial intelligence scrapes up immeasurably vast amounts of online data, like those trawlers that scour the seabed for shrimp and flatfish with weighted nets, and to hell with the natural habitat. A chatbot is not (or not yet) an individual, and therefore bears no moral responsibility, but to lay hold of what it delivers, and to pass it off as one’s own work, could be construed as handling stolen goods. That, at any rate, is a viewpoint that prevails at some of the sturdier colleges in the United States. The most robust that I have come across is San José State University, where the advice offered by the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library is admirably clear: “It doesn’t matter which AI program/software you use. Using any of these to write your papers is considered a form of plagiarism.” # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Fraud_Concerns_Remain_Despite Mike_Smith_Streaming_Case's_End⠀⇛ Additionally, the 54-year-old, having reaped millions in ill-gotten royalties by directing billions of bot plays to his AI uploads, agreed to pay nearly $8.1 million. With that, the presiding judge is set to sentence the streaming fraudster on July 29th. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ AI_influencer_awards_season_is_upon_us_| The_Verge⠀⇛ To enter, you must develop your AI influencer on OpenArt’s platform and submit it at www.AIpersonality.ai. You’ll be asked for social media handles across TikTok, X, YouTube, and Instagram, as well as the story behind the character, your motivations for creating it, and details of any brand work. # ⚓ Android Police ☛ Google_Search_'experiment'_uses_AI to_rewrite_news_headlines⠀⇛ One of the publication's articles appeared in Search with the following headline: 'Cheat on everything' AI tool. If you hadn't read the article before, you'd think this is an endorsement of the tool. Meanwhile, the original headline read: "I used the 'cheat on everything' AI tool and it didn’t help me cheat on anything," which is basically the opposite of what the writer intended to convey (via 9to5Google). Evidently, this can become problematic quickly, particularly as users rely on search engines to find accurate, up-to-date information on current events. The Verge heard back from Google spokespersons about this particular change, who described the experiment's scope as "narrow" and added that a wider launch hasn't been approved yet. # ⚓ Rishi Baldawa ☛ AI_Mandates_Manufacture_Noise⠀⇛ If you look past these closed loop oscillations at the top and start paying closer attention to what is happening on the ground, you’ll see a different reality. Take the example of what kinds of AI usage patterns come up. Often on the same team, but sometimes even in the same person. It’s a nuanced conversation but broadly, I see three types of users across various conversations on the topic: [...] # ⚓ Nolan Lawson ☛ The_diminished_art_of_coding⠀⇛ I don’t think coding is dead as an art form, and I do think that the “new” craftsmanship will have its own masters, its own styles, its own expressiveness. Heck, maybe I’ll be surprised and there will be an artist-in- residence somewhere wielding agent orchestrators like a paintbrush! But I kind of doubt it. If you’re not knitting, then you’re making clothes on an assembly line, and if the clothes are disposable, then it’s just fast-fashion. There’s artistry there, perhaps, but the end product is much less interesting artistically because there’s less of the human touch to it. In my view, we’re firmly in the fast-fashion era of coding: software is vibe-coded, used up, thrown away, vibe-coded again. This is not a fully bad thing, and I’m sure many non- coders especially are giddy at the superpowers they’ve acquired. But as coders, we shouldn’t lose sight of what we’ve lost, and we should seek to make up for it with new sources of artistic sustenance. # ⚓ TechTea ☛ Generative_AI_(as_it_currently_stands)_is an_Evil_Technology⠀⇛ This article has been bouncing in my brain for a long time, but Michal’s post about the subject motivated me to look at my drafts folder and finish this one. Also, the company I work for is starting an AI push, thus I’m extra agitated with the tech. For those who don’t pay attention this might sound like hyperbole, but after everything I’ve seen, heard, and experienced this article doesn’t even scratch the surface of why I disdain the tech and the companies that are profiting off it. # ⚓ Connor Tumbleson ☛ The_odd_new_spam_on_GitHub⠀⇛ Sure enough I stumble upon another issue and this time the user/script just injected the spam links directly into words of the LLM text. This time the advertisements are for Labcorp which I recognize as a massive company. So now I'm even more curious - does that company engage with a scummy advertisement agency that results in some real scummy behavior in order to grow search standing? Or is the connection unrelated, either I move on to the next. # ⚓ Dan MacKinlay ☛ Community_sovereign_AI_compute⠀⇛ Here I want to talk about a specific asset that a small collective might want to own: a computer that can do intellectual work for us. By which I mean: a machine that can run something like the class of AI models that currently power the tools many of us are starting to depend on for work—coding assistants, research tools, document drafters, agentic workflows. The kind of thing that, right now, we rent by the token from a company in San Francisco, or increasingly, from a company in Hangzhou. # ⚓ Gigi ☛ Caring_about_Sloppypasta⠀⇛ Here’s what LLMs can’t do, and unless we give them bodies (and true pain, and real suffering, and proper death) it’s a thing they’ll never be able to do: care. And that’s also the reason why people hate Sloppypasta: it’s done without care. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Task And Purpose ☛ French_sailor_reveals_flagship’s location_via_fitness_app⠀⇛ The deployment was publicly announced and aircraft carriers are not the hardest things to track, but this did reveal close to its exact location in near-real time. Le Monde used satellite imagery to locate the ship, specifically via the info from the sailor’s Strava post. So, on March 13, the Charles de Gaulle was noted as being roughly 100 kilometers south of Turkey and west of Cyprus. # ⚓ Site36 ☛ AI_predictive_policing_models:_Dutch_police and_Frontex_test_concept_of_"digital_twins"⠀⇛ The Dutch municipality of Heerlen is using €5 million in funding from the European Union to build an AI-supported system designed to predict crime and disturbances of public order. The project, launched last year, is called “Pulse-Twin”. An initial version is expected to be completed later this year and will then be tested until spring 2028. # ⚓ Ben Werdmuller ☛ Ageless_Linux⠀⇛ The site maintains a list of age verification laws they are violating, as well as states that have proposed laws that they would violate. It’s sobering: these aren’t just the usual suspects (although that would be bad enough in itself, of course). California has a pending law that will take effect in 2027. New York and Illinois have laws under discussion. # ⚓ Cyryl Płotnicki ☛ Predicting_home_electricity_usage based_on_historical_patterns_in_Home_Assistant⠀⇛ I use Home Assistant for automation, so the solution described uses Home Assistant's sensor configuration and database layout, however the overall idea should be more widely applicable. I've been trying to minimise what we pay for electricity at home, by optimising the times at which e.g. house battery charges or water heats up. To do that it's useful to be able to predict future load. Why does this help ? Imagine a situation where you want to decide if to charge battery from grid, and by how much. If current battery charge will fully cover your predicted load until e.g. sun comes up and gives you solar you're golden, but if not it might make sense to charge from the grid. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ teleSUR ☛ Shocking_Peter_Thiel_Antichrist_Lectures:_4 Secret_Sessions_Spark_Vatican_Fury⠀⇛ Peter Thiel Antichrist lectures in Rome ignite controversy as Vatican adviser Paolo Benanti labels ideas heretical, warning of technocratic threats to democracy. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Robert_Mueller_Never_Should_Have_Been_a Liberal_Hero⠀⇛ For most of his life, Robert Mueller was a pillar of bipartisan comity, an institutionalist respected by both major US political parties, but in the last decade, he became emblematic of polarized politics. Liberals lionized Mueller as a patriotic public servant who bravely tried to defend the rule of law, while MAGA maligned him as part of a “deep state” conspiracy to destroy Donald Trump. Mueller, who died on Monday at age 81, had been FBI director from 2001 to 2013 but is more famous for being the special prosecutor who oversaw from 2017 to 2019 the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign in 2016 and the Russian government. # ⚓ Robert Reich ☛ Sunday_thought:_America_Belongs_to_US⠀⇛ But let me remind you — just as I remind myself — that tyranny cannot succeed where people refuse to submit to it. Six days from now, next Saturday, on the third No Kings Day, we will proclaim our refusal to submit. We will march against this vile regime in larger numbers than have ever protested in America. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ Are_We_Really_Going_to_Do_This?⠀⇛ Are we really going to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our independence with these people in power? Is that really what we are going to do, America? Because I want you to sit with that question for a moment. Not rhetorically. Sit with it. July 4th, 2026 is coming. The bunting will go up. The fireworks will be purchased. The speeches will be written. And somewhere, in some official capacity, the people who started an unauthorized war, who ignored court orders, who sent masked men into the streets without regard for the Bill of Rights, who bent the machinery of the federal government toward the personal and financial interests of a criminal demagogue — those people will stand at a podium and invoke the Founders. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_Ballad_of_the_Black_Pill⠀⇛ When you take the black pill, you are not opting out of this arrangement. You are free-riding on it while pretending you have transcended it. You are consuming the fruits of the civilization you have decided is too corrupt to defend, while telling yourself that your refusal to engage is a form of integrity rather than a form of cowardice dressed in philosophical clothing. # ⚓ The Next Move ☛ They_Took_Risks_for_Freedom._We’re Celebrating_Them.⠀⇛ Every year, the Renew Democracy Initiative, which publishes The Next Move, celebrates people who have taken risks for freedom at our Heroes of Democracy Gala. We believe that spotlighting powerful role models who made personal sacrifices and risked their lives and livelihoods can motivate others to take up the cause of liberty. With the United States celebrating two and a half centuries of independence, we’re excited to announce four honorees who will inspire us to strengthen and protect American democracy and freedom around the world for the next 250 years. We hope you will join us on Friday, April 17 in New York City as we celebrate these Heroes of Democracy: [...] o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ The Gray Zone ☛ Paul_Mason_instigated_GCHQ_targeting_of_The Grayzone’s_Kit_Klarenberg,_leaks_reveal⠀⇛ Leaked material reviewed by The Grayzone reveals failed ‘journalist’ Paul Mason conspired with GCHQ to monitor and attack this journalist and other critics. What did the British intelligence agency do with the sensitive information he secretly provided? o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ The Scotsman ☛ The_environmental_questions_around Scotland's_AI_data_centre_revolution⠀⇛ Concerns around energy and water use of wave of new hyperscale facilities under development # ⚓ The Strategist ☛ It’s_time_for_Australia_to_step_off_the gas⠀⇛ In our proposed model, the government would use its forecasts of domestic supply and domestic demand to work out how much extra gas is required for the coming year. In 2029 (the year supply gaps first appear), only 3 petajoules will be needed to avoid shortages. In 2032, it’s more like 50 petajoules. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Australia_to_datacenter_operators:_BYO energy_or_stay_home⠀⇛ The expectations also call on datacenter operators to prioritise Australia’s national interest, use water sustainably and responsibly, invest in local skills and jobs, and do all that while strengthening the nation’s “research, innovation and local capability.” # ⚓ Paul Krugman ☛ How_to_Burn_Less_Oil⠀⇛ And in the longer run, we’re now having an object lesson in the strategic risks of depending so much on oil — risks that add to the already compelling environmental case for moving away from fossil fuels in general. But how hard will it be to reduce our dependence on the black stuff? Can the world economy prosper while burning much less oil than it has in the past? # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ El País ☛ Without_fuel,_but_pedaling_on:_The_new bicycle_boom_in_Cuba⠀⇛ “Every time there’s a crisis in this country, the first thing to go is fuel. Then, everything gets really expensive… so, it’s better to ride a bike. It’s cheaper, faster and, besides that, you get exercise.” He recalls that, before the 1990s, there were Russian bicycles. Then, when the Special Period began, Chinese bicycles started arriving. “This was a country filled with bicycles.” # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ Howard Oakley ☛ Natural_history_paintings_of_Bruno Liljefors_2⠀⇛ During the 1880s Bruno Liljefors excelled as a wildlife artist, and was appointed head of the art school in Gothenburg, Sweden, in succession to Carl Larsson. But his personal life was in turmoil, and the 1890s were barren years when he often ran short of money. # ⚓ Chuck Grimmett ☛ Spring_Peepers⠀⇛ We mostly spotted them on sticks and small logs, and in the leaf litter along the edge of the vernal pools. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ How_Elon_Musk's_Hyperloop sucked_up_billions_and_delivered_nothing⠀⇛ In 2013, PayPal mafia don and head of Tesla and SpaceX Elon Musk got caught up in the libertarian opposition to California’s overdue, over-budget and under-delivering high-speed rail project. # ⚓ Silcon Republic ☛ Commission_says_EU_Inc_will_be_in_place by_end_of_2026⠀⇛ “At the heart of this proposal is one simple principle that says, ‘once only’. Companies will provide their information to public authority, the data one time only, and that information will then be shared automatically between relevant administrations, from business registers to taxes to social security … and this information will be stored and easily accessible in a new EU Business register for EU Inc companies.” # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Deepfakes_and_AI_Misinformation_Reshape How_War_Is_Seen_Online⠀⇛ Deepfakes are synthetic media edited or generated using Artificial Intelligence (AI). According to the New York Times, a “cascade of A.I. fakes about war with Iran” have proliferated across social media since the United States (U.S.) and Israel reignited military actions with Iran on February 28, 2026. Indeed, the digital landscape is increasingly saturated with synthetic fabrications, as false videos of boisterous celebrations, frantic airport evacuations, devastating bombings, and graphic casualties flood users’ feeds in a relentless stream of misinformation. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Polymarket_Says_It_Deals_in_Truth, but_Its_Social_Feeds_Are_Filled_With_Falsehoods⠀⇛ Yet on Polymarket’s social media feeds, truth is often slippery. A New York Times review of hundreds of Polymarket’s posts on X, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram found a pattern of its accounts sharing false and misleading information. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Semafor Inc ☛ Vox_Media_tried_to_sell_its_podcasts,_and itself⠀⇛ The most widely-circulated option Vox Media offered was around its podcast network. In November, Axios reported that the digital media company’s board had discussed spinning off the podcast business; the company subsequently sent an investor deck for the audio and video business out to investors and similarly positioned digital media companies. But the company’s previously unreported alternative proposals, marketed by the media investment bank Liontree, suggested that Vox Media was looking for a much broader transformation, if not an outright sale. o § Civil Rights / Policing / Accessibility⠀➾ # ⚓ University of Michigan ☛ UMich_could_purchase_Concordia University’s_Ann_Arbor_campus⠀⇛ The possibility of the University acquiring more land in Ann Arbor has sparked discussion, as it already owns about nine percent of the city. In an email to The Daily, Taubman graduate student Jade Prange, a member of the Oglala Sioux tribe, wrote she believes that if the University decides to expand their campus on land traditionally belonging to Indigenous tribes — which includes all of Ann Arbor — it should use the land to benefit Indigenous people. # ⚓ In_Court_this_week:_Dentons_lines_up_against_SRA_in_Court of_Appeal⠀⇛ o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Gregory Hammond ☛ My_love_hate_relationship_with_music_and music_streaming⠀⇛ My relationship with music and music streaming is complicated. No, I don’t mean on the real life relationship sort of way, but I guess a sort of transactional relationship. On one hand, I enjoy listening to music and supporting bands. However on the other hand, I wish a number of things were changed not only to better support the lesser-known artists, but also the current trend of music. § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ CopyrightLately ☛ This_Little_Piggy_Went_to_Trial_(And_Got Just_$200_and_No_Fees)⠀⇛ A stock photo company sued for copyright infringement over a single image of raw pork chops, took the case all the way to trial, won $200, then asked for $69,000 in attorney’s fees. It went poorly. =============================================================================== Image source: Mueller_as_Assistant_Attorney_General_for_the_Criminal_Division, 1992 =============================================================================== * The_Scandal_Bigger_Than_IBM/Red_Hat_Layoffs_is_the_de_Facto_"Media Blackout"_About_Those_Layoffs * Debianism_election_2026_community_poll_created,_everybody_can_vote ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 4080 ➮ Generation completed at 02:49, i.e. 12 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
