Take the Lousy Severance-Like Offer, They'll PIP You Out (Microsoft Signals to People Over 40 That They'd Better Vacate the Place)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 27, 2026 2 days ago: Corporate_Media_Did_Not_Specify_What_Microsoft_Means_by_"Buyouts"_ (Layoffs),_It_May_Be_Hardly_Different_From_Severance 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Microsoft in Redmond to offer early May buyouts to about 8,750 U.S. employees⦈ Microsoft to contact almost 9,000 "Dinobabies" for May 2026. More to come after that. I've spent a_lot of time discussing this with people since the_news_came_out. Based on personal experiences, it seems safe to suggest Microsoft's quiet moment (lack of details) on this issue means that "buyout" means "voluntary layoffs" with benefits not much better than severance. It's a trap. Worse yet, those who don't take "the offer" will be pushed out some other way (later). These suspicions are partly affirmed but not fully confirmed in this_discussion among_employees_in_their_late(r)_40s. The original poster (OP) wrote: "Ready to retire? At 47? This week Microsoft announced a voluntary retirement program. While details of the offer have yet to be released, the gist of the offer is that if your physical age and your years of service add up to 70, then you qualify. At the ripe old retirement age of 47, after 24 years of service I qualify. The program is being pitched as “optional” meaning I can choose to take it or not; however, it’s unclear what happens if I choose the “not” option. I would be lying if I didn’t say that I've lost some sleep over the last day since this was announced. Not out of excitement, but dread. I tossed and turned, questions churning in my mind…."have I aged out of tech"…."do my contributions matter"…."do they think I get paid too much for the work I do"…."will I be able to find another job"…."will I have to sell my house"…"can I afford college for my kids"…..Ahhhhh. I had always imagined leaving Microsoft on my own terms. Funny enough, this was the language they put in the email they sent, they positioned it as an opportunity to leave on my own terms, but it sure doesn’t feel that way. I don’t know yet what I’m going to decide, but if you feel like me at all, let’s connect, get organized and figure how to support each other and how to best respond to this unprecedented moment. One thing I know won’t work, trying to take this all on alone, staying silent, and trying to negotiate individually vs collectively. Stay strong, you aren’t alone and there are always other options." Despite it being paid as some sort of retirement plan, people as young as 40s (well, it's not that "old") qualify. Two more people in the same age group/ bracket comment: "I’m in a very similar spot. I’m 48 and in my 24th year, with 25 years coming up on July 9. The difference for me is that I feel ready to move on. I’ve felt that way for the last couple of years and have been trying to figure out what the next chapter looks like. I started a side business as both a backup plan and a possible path forward, and through that process I realized I’m ready for something beyond tech. My honest interpretation of the email was that they’re offering a respectful path for long-tenured employees to transition on good terms. And if someone chooses not to take it, there’s always the possibility that future changes could be less generous, whether that means tighter performance scrutiny, restructures, or eventually being managed out in a less favorable way. None of us knows that for certain, but it’s reasonable to recognize that these offers often come with an unspoken message to consider the timing carefully. I also suspect the package may be meaningful enough that many people will have to think hard about it. In all honesty, I actually think the offer will stop you in your tracks. So compelling you’d almost be foolish not to take it. Companies usually know that major career decisions require real incentives, especially for people who have given many years of service and are NOT ready to retire. Most importantly, try to look for the opportunity inside the uncertainty. Sometimes what first feels unsettling ends up becoming the push we needed. This could be the moment to pursue the business idea, career path, or lifestyle you’ve been putting off. A chapter ending can also be a door opening." This latest comment speaks of the PIPs or "RIF" (similar) to come: "49 here with 22 years. Not quite ready to retire, both financially and my willingness to work 3-5 more years. I hope you are correct that the package will be compelling, but I’m not really counting on it. Perhaps 1-2 weeks of pay for every year of service, some RSU vesting, and maybe this year’s bonus, plus some healthcare for 6-12 months? That would not be a whole lot better than the current severance plan, so not much of an incentive. Even UPS was offering $150,000 for its drivers to walk away, surely MSFT can do better? But ultimately, I agree with your assessment about the hidden message and what comes next. Not only will you be on top of the list for the next RIF, but if you survive, expect much tighter performance management. Managers will no doubt be instructed to quickly manage out the folks in this particular demographic. You can easily go from “significant impact” to “ needs improvement” in one review cycle and out the door under far less favorable terms. Even if you survive all that, you can pretty much forget about promotions and good rewards if you are 45+. Things have changed very quickly and dramatically over past year or so. Waiting to see what the offer looks like and then a difficult decision awaits." To Microsoft, being in one's 40s may mean, "TIME TO MOVE ON!" Does that sound like an employer that will appeal to experienced ("senior") applicants, set aside the_hiring_freeze? The writings are on the wall as_they_bypass_"legal_requirements". To quote this other thread: "Basically this is a way for a company to downsize older workers (and their higher salaries ) without breaking the law. Its not so much about making it less brutal. The rest of the workforce is told it's less brutal because those who take severance are about to retire anyway. It simply accelerates that choice. Employers typically offer severance in exchange for the employee signing a General Release of Claims, which prevents them from suing the company for wrongful termination or discrimination. Review Periods: Under the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA), employees aged 40+ must be given 21 days to review an individual agreement (45 days for group layoffs) and 7 days to revoke their signature. The federal WARN Act requires employers with 100+ workers to provide 60 days' notice for mass layoffs. Failure to provide notice often results in the employer paying 60 days of salary as a penalty, which effectively acts as a mandated severance" (on Legal Requirements). Some people act_all_giddy_about_it: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇App. 7% will be eligible for voluntary retirement?⦈ Retirement at 40 with a package not much better than severance and no health coverage (remember, this is for USA!) seems risky, more so in an economy with high inflation rates. Only a fool would act as if it shows Microsoft "strength". Microsoft targets its most experienced (read: expensive) workers. Users of the slopware will notice. █ * "AI"_16_Times_in_One_'Article'._The_Register_MS_Got_Paid_to_Post_This Spammy,_Promotional_Piece_of_Slop. * next ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⢀⣀⣠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⢀⡀⠀⣠⡄⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣾⠿⣿⡿⣷⣿⣷⢾⣿⣳⡿⣷⣿⡟⣿⡟⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢸⣿⣿⢳⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⠀⣿⡟⣾⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠙⠛⠛⠃⠈⠛⠋⠛⠛⠉⠛⠋⠘⠃⠙⠛⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠘⠛⠙⠛⠛⠛⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠛⠛⠙⠛⠛⠙⠛⠛⠀⠘⠛⠙⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⣀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣷⣿⡟⣿⢳⣿⣿⣾⡿⠃⢰⣿⣿⣼⣿⣷⣿⡟⣿⡿⣷⣿⠁⢸⣿⣾⣿⣧⣿⣿⢻⣷⡟⠀⣿⣿⣷⣿⣸⡟⣿⣾⢷⣿⣿⣾⣇⣿⣿⣟⢾⣿⡇⠘⣿⣳⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠋⠙⠃⠛⠀⠛⠛⠘⠃⠀⠈⠛⠛⠙⠛⠛⠛⠁⠛⢱⣿⠃⠀⠘⠛⠛⠙⠋⠛⠛⢴⡿⠁⠀⠛⠛⠃⠛⠛⠣⣾⠏⠈⠛⠋⠘⠛⠛⠘⠛⠙⠛⠁⠀⠛⠋⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⠀⢀⣤⣤⠀⢠⣤⣤⣠⣤⡄⣤⣄⠀⢠⣄⣠⡄⠀⣠⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡁⢨⣿⣿⣄⠈⣹⡟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠂⢸⣿⣿⡇⣀⣻⣿⣅⡀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣾⣿⣿⢿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠈⠉⠉⠿⠃⠉⠁⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠀⠈⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠿⠏⠁⠉⠈⠉⠉⠾⠟⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⣀⠀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠒⣿⣇⣿⣒⠠⠤⢠⠿⡆⣿⣞⣷⣞⣾⣷⡂⣼⣷⣗⢸⡷⣷⣿⣶⣻⣾⣷⣷⣾⣷⡞⣶⣞⡧⢼⣟⣶⣷⣺⣶⣿⣶⣻⡇⣿⣾⣿⣷⣓⣾⢶⣳⣾⣶⣟⣾⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⣀⣀⣀⢀⡀⣀⢀⣀⠀⢀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢾⣹⣿⣿⣿⣏⣽⣽⣻⣅⡀⣿⡿⣧⣇⣸⢿⣷⢿⢿⣸⠇⢸⢳⣷⣿⢾⣿⣟⣯⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⣷⣯⡝⡍⡝⣉⡛⠍⡟⡅⣿⡏⣭⢋⣛⠭⡙⠍⡏⣭⢫⢸⢸⢩⢹⠫⢩⣿⢈⢟⣸⣽⢫⣽⢩⡝⣍⣏⠽⢫⡝⣭⡄⣽⡏⣾⣾⢫⡹⢩⡍⣭⢻⣿⡇⡯⢹⡩⢩⢩⢫⢨⣬⡎⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣾⣷⣷⣿⣶⣶⣷⣷⣶⣿⣷⣿⣶⣦⣒⣱⣷⣷⣿⣶⣾⣾⣾⣾⣐⣪⣿⣾⣾⣾⣿⣶⣾⣾⣷⣷⣷⣷⣶⣾⣾⣷⣾⣿⣶⣾⣾⣾⣾⣇⣳⣷⣿⣷⣶⣾⣃⣿⣾⣾⣾⣾⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡸⣩⣿⣿⣿⢃⠏⢝⠩⡻⣷⢢⢎⠙⣏⠛⡅⠾⢸⡮⢙⠙⡟⠙⠨⡏⢩⠁⢝⠘⠹⡇⡌⢝⢩⣏⢉⠍⠮⠉⡏⢭⠹⠉⢩⡝⣽⢩⠋⠋⠅⢭⠋⠋⡍⠙⠙⢩⠋⠕⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⢻⣿⣿⣿⣻⠻⠛⣛⠻⠻⡛⢟⣛⡛⣟⡟⡟⠟⡟⠛⢛⣟⠻⡻⠛⠛⡟⡟⠛⠛⠛⢻⡋⢹⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢛⢻⡟⡛⠛⠛⠛⠛⡛⡛⠛⠛⢛⡟⠛⠟⠋⢟⡟⢛⠛⠛⠛⢛⠋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣽⣵⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠻⠿⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣍⣋⣋⣅⣎⡉⣹⣿⣰⣩⣃⣉⣉⣋⣹⢩⣪⣉⣫⣉⣟⣉⣍⣹⣸⣈⣹⣻⣏⣹⣯⣉⣯⣟⣀⣈⣩⡈⣥⣏⣝⣹⣉⣿⣍⣉⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣶⣴⣶⣦⣾⣦⣷⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣷⣿⣾⣶⣾⣶⣾⣶⣶⣷⣷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣷⣷⣶⣷⣷⣷⣿⣷⣶⣶⣴⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣦⣦⣥⣦⣤⣦⣼⣤⣤⣤⣴⣴⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡏⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢹⣿⡏⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢉⡉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢹⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣽⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣷⣤⣧⣧⣽⣤⣤⣾⣿⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢀⣀⣀⢀⡀⠀⣀⡀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣼⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 616 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/04/27/Over_at_Tux_Machines.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/04/27/Over_at_Tux_Machines.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Over at Tux Machines...⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 27, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Fishermen in the Sea of Galilee⦈ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Fishermen_in_the_Sea_of_Galilee⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ 1. ⚓ Linus_Torvalds_Announces_First_Linux_Kernel_7.1_Release_Candidate⠀⇛ Linus Torvalds announced the general availability of the first Release Candidate version of the upcoming Linux 7.1 kernel series for public testing.

Notice how they're framing our reporting on this: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Alternatively, the words complained of within the Publication were published by the Defendant recklessly, not caring whether they were true or false and with no honest belief that they were true and in that meaning the words complained of were false and published maliciously.⦈ In my_counterclaim_last_summer, I responded as follows: =============================================================================== 14. This is denied as well and it is abundantly vague, too. There is no actual falsehoods specified in this claim, nor is one cited and quoted. The words cited in Paragraph 5 are not false (distortions of the words are denied) and, where they are an expression of opinion, they are based on verified, authentic material. 14.1. Paragraph 5 was in fact the reason why a TPI was requested to deal with Paragraph 3, which Paragraph 5 cites. The Claimant not only fought hard against the TPI; the firm even sought outside help from a former employee or employees (the metadata reveals several of them, not one). Almost 1,000 pages were sent to Master Gidden ahead of a 60-minute Hearing and the lawyer even stayed in the Office (or some remote workplace) working until almost 9PM on a Friday. In other words, enormous resources were devoted to trying to crush the TPI application. One staff that sent many of the letters regarding the TPI works for Burgess Mee LLP, which unlike Brett Wilson LLP is actually growing (added 5 staff in a year, according to its accountants; Companies House makes that apparent) and net assets grew too. 14.2. The resources being pitted against an LIP were rather telling, with an eye-watering bill sent by post to the Defendant only a day before the Hearing. The goal of such lawsuits is not to actually win but rather to attack financial resources of the other side, leaving it more vulnerable and eager to capitulate, basically to throw in the towel and agree to anything, no matter how unjust and humiliating. In this particular case, the "double-dipping" or two related people attacking the same person at the same time, is further reinforcing the intent or this malicious, sinister strategy. A TPI by a LIP, where the basis thereof is clearly explained and based on research by a LIP, could reduce costs and illuminate the key points - going by them it would be obvious that the case is meritless. But instead, the Claimant made a choice to overcomplicate matters, to throw almost a thousand pages at the Judge (or at the wall, hoping something might stick), doubling the effect by using the other case to do the same to a single individual, in essence fighting off a team of about 10 lawyers (to whom this is a full-time job). That includes at least 2 outsiders, as Brett Wilson LLP clearly used staff that's not listed in its Web site and which works for other companies. What exactly was the budget allocated for this case and why? Answers are needed in the name of transparency, but Brett Wilson LLP always resorts to name-calling. It refuses to answer such questions. 14.3. Instead of the TPI being considered at first instance, later with the bones of the defence put forth, I was asked to first respond to the claims one at a time, which again I decided to do as LIP because this should really be a trivial case, more so knowing that the exact same lawyer also targeted Dan Neidle of TaxPolicy and, based on consultation with NGOs, Brett Wilson LLP already earned notoriety in this domain. Generally speaking, judges and regulators would be suspicious of Brett Wilson LLP by default, seeing its distant and more so its recent track record. As already explained earlier, claims of libel were put forth despite timeliness being an obvious problem, set aside the supportive evidence that makes the articles both accurate and correct as per authentic documents (hard evidence, not speculation). Regarding "malicious" being tossed in, probably as an afterthought, it's about wasting more money (people can testify that no such thing qualifies as malicious), so it's an extremely frivolous addition which probably serves to discredit rather than complement the claims of libel. Lastly, regarding privacy or GDPR, the evidence presented was public, it was not sealed either, and even if some assertion is made about legality of access and/or reproduction it should not be dealt (in isolation) in the High Court). This is the same sort of "abuse of process" (to quote Justice Swift) that Brett Wilson LLP maliciously engaged in just recently in the Dale Vince case. It seems like a modus operandi and it must be pointed out. 14.4. It seems exceedingly abusive to do this to a person who always wrote pro bono (in fact, losing money, not earning money, due to costs associated with hosting and other bills), having done so for over 2 decades based on true devotion and passion. Contrariwise, the people who brought forth the frivolous cases earned 6-figure salaries and always aimed for the highest salary possible; they just cannot tolerate honest criticism. They are not only bullying critics but also their victims, in my case the wife of a victim (whilst using the wrong name as an extra insult). It was them who were put in prison, yet they want victims and sources to be punished - as if those who pursue justice are the real problem. 14.5. A TPI would not only save time; it would also distil the case. An aspect of extortion of already being dealt with by the SRA, set aside police case opened against several people involved in the abuse against us - for it an extensive and years-long campaign of harassment - hence the counterclaim filed in September 2024. 14.6. In the above-mentioned Vince case, as per a final judgment, there is abuse of process (or harassment by process). This matters as this shows the very same blueprint leveraged by the exact same firm. It basically misuses licences and law degrees to facilitate harassment for (or at the behest of) clients, even for people from another continent, acting as what the media calls "guns for hire" operating on their behalf. Pens can be mightier than swords and weaponising law degrees is a disgrace to the occupation if left unregulated. =============================================================================== This week should be calm and we're almost in May already.

LinuxIac is one example of it. Sloppy Borisov cannot help himself; his articles are a mix of slop and real text, or slop 'massaged' by him, which means it's predicated upon or rooted in slop, not creative thinking or genuine analysis. Today we encountered the same in "FOSS_Linux"; prior to that, "Ubuntu PIT". There seems to be something that pushes (or strongly compels) those people to get back to slopping, even if they know it's wrong, even if they got caught red-handed, even if they know readers resent slop and abhor the practice of wasting their time with LLMs. People learned from experience not to read slop, not to trust slop etc. (once they're aware they consume slop; it boils down to reputation of domains/authors - it's all about trust!) So from now on, no more remorse; the prospects of redemption among those who crossed to the "dark side" seem slim (they just try to hide it better). Their sites are more likely to become inactive and/or go offline, not throw away the LLMs and get back to doing real work on a permanent basis. Regarding drug addiction, as a youngster at school they kept lecturing us that the best way to tackle drug addiction was to ensure no person, no matter how young, even tries drugs or experiments (dabbles) in them. Because once it starts, it'll be hard to undo the harm and stop the addiction (withdrawal symptoms). The same seems applicable to LLMs. Don't even try, don't even start. Also, please do not tolerate people who slop. There's no benign slop; it's neither OK for social solidarity (plagiarism, deceit etc.) nor for general reliability. This is a giant race to the bottom; nihilistic broligarchs steer this race. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Paradise_Lost =============================================================================== * The_Corrupt_Lecture_the_Non-Corrupt_-_Part_VII_-_Secrecy_at_the_EPO_ (Regarding_Cocaine_and_Nepotism)_Has_Undermined_Trust_in_Management * Red_Hat_Circling_Down_the_Slop_Drain ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡴⠗⠒⣒⣷⣾⣶⣬⢀⠀⢨⣅⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣬⠾⣁⣦⣶⣿⣿⢷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣖⢢⡈⢔⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠄⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⣴⢿⣵⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣾⣗⡈⢅⢔⣯⡻⣿⣿⡝⢯⣧⡤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠆⢠⣆⠀⠀⠀⣐⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣶⣽⣷⣽⢿⣿⣷⣭⢂⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣠⡿⠭⡔⠂⢐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡻⠿⣿⡿⠛⠁⠀⢰⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠰⢾⡇⠇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡆⡀⣰⣷⣦⣞⡀⢀⣤⠤⢼⢁⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⡌⢤⡠⢲⠟⢰⠀⡖⣷⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢀⠘⠻⣦⣬⠘⢲⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡠⢄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠳⡿⠀⢈⠄⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡶⣶⣾⠟⠛⠀⠘⣃⡀⣀⡀⢶⣧⣤⣀⣸⣿⣷⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠇⠀⠘⠀⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⠏⣒⣛⣲⣾⣟⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣅⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢀⢤⡀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠂⠀⠀⠀⢠⡆⢠⡄⠀⠀⠐⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⡭⣿⣿⣿⣿⡾⣿⣽⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣶⣿⣿⡿⠛⠫⠽⢃⡀⠀⠛⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢷⢸⠁⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⠯⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠺⣆⠀⣸⠃⠀⠀⠉⠩⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢛⡄⠈⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⢿⣷⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠙⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣢⡘⢈⠓⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠐⢮⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀⢒⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠏⡇⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠹⣿⣇⣠⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣼⣧⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⢿⡀⠀⠀⠈⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⢼⣄⡅⠀⠀⠐⠀⣾⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⣿⠃⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠹⣿⠿⣿⣿⣷⡭⠿⡧⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣟⣧⠀⠀⠀⢰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣼⠋⠁⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⡿⠀⣟⣱⢿⡿⠿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⣶⠐⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠻⡟⠀⠀⠗⠚⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣧⣴⣾⣿⣯⣿⣿⣯⣽⣰⣟⣿⣿⢄⠣⠘⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⢿⠇⢠⡇⠣⠘⣷⠀⢸⣇⠀⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠳⠠⣷⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣍⣉⣍⣿⡉⠥⠀⠠⠤⢤⣶⣿⣯⣤⣬⣤⣤⣽⣽⣀⣰⠏⠑⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡄⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠨⠍⣟⣠⠄⠙⠙⠓⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⢨⠭⣿⣿⣟⢻⣿⣭⡿⢻⣿⡟⠛⣿⠛⠛⠛⣻⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣯⣿⣯⣽⣟⣋⣋⣉⠙⠉⠀⠁⠀⠀⢸⠁⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠈⠀⠀⠰⠾⠷⣦⡞⢠⠀⠀⠀⢹⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣈⣯⠶⢿⣟⢳⣼⣯⣷⣼⡿⠑⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⣠⠶⢿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣾⠟⡓⢀⠢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠑⠀⠀⠐⠢⠜⠀⠀⠀⠀⣙⣉⣀⢠⠤⠸⣿⣿⠩⠛⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⣠⠄⠒⠭⠐⠉⠈⠛⠀⠀⠠⠋⡠⠔⠃⠄⠀⡠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠢⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣴⠶⠂⠈⣀⠤⠀⢠⡴⠚⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠚⠉⠀⠤⠤⠶⠖⠒⠚⠛⠭⢥⠤⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1231 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/04/27/The_Corrupt_Lecture_the_Non_Corrupt_Part_VII_Secrecy_at_the_EPO.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/04/27/The_Corrupt_Lecture_the_Non_Corrupt_Part_VII_Secrecy_at_the_EPO.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The Corrupt Lecture the Non-Corrupt - Part VII - Secrecy at the EPO (Regarding Cocaine and Nepotism) Has Undermined Trust in Management⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 27, 2026 They talk about sharing information and preach frankness while the_high official or President keeps even managers in the dark (about cocaine) for 6 weeks! 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Our success depends on how we work together⦈ In the first_part, second_part, third_part, fourth_part, fifth_part, and the sixth_part we showed that "ethics" at the EPO is sometimes that unethical, corrupt (sometimes drug-addicted) managers lecture about if not impose on ordinary staff. In the last part we explained that they kept secret from everyone what went on with "Cocaine Communication Manager", who was recently_reinstated by his sister's_romantic_partner, António_Campinos, the EPO's President. This is rogue politics at a time when the_Spanish_Prime_Minister's_wife_is_charged_for crimes. Europe's status (or reputation) as a civilised continent is at stake. How much longer can Campinos survive at the Office? Every passing day is a growing liability to Europe's second-largest institution. It's already corroding trust inside the institution. No manager can trust Campinos, who treats cocaine and arrests like they're not important at all. Why did it take Senior Management 6 weeks (not_until_11_November_2025) to inform staff of his replacement? Insiders genuinely wonder. Any other organisation or employer would have offered some sort of explanation to their staff, if one of theirs was under arrest. We need to ask ourselves why did the Senior Management not do anything? Insiders of the EPO are run by what some of them call "Mafia" because the behaviour sometimes seems indistinguishable. If Europe's second-largest institution is run by the "Alicante Mafia", does this mean that other key European institutions are "Mafia"? And if Europe's second-largest institution is not even brought up by European politicians (not anymore), does this mean it's considered acceptable? █ * SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_59_Out_of_200:_Mentioning_the_Fact_Alex_Graveley Arrested_and_Charged_for_Strangulation_in_Texas_is_"Reckless"_and "Malicious",_According_to_His_'Hired_Guns'_in_London * Slop_is_an_Addiction,_Its_Users_Find_It_Addictive ⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣻⡿⢻⢻⠟⡿⠻⢿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣭⣯⣭⣯⣽ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⢫⡝⡟⣿⡿⢻⡟⢻⠛⡟⢻⣻⣟⣻⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣭⣭⣽⢍⢩⡩⣩⢍⣹⣉⣭⣭⣍⣩⢭⣯⣭⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣾⣿⣷⣾⣾⣷⣷⣷⢾⣾⣿⣿⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣲⣒⣚⣖⣲⣓⣒⣒⣔⣲⣒⣚⣛⣒⣒⣒⣗⣒⣒⣒⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣐⣗⣸⣆⣂⣖⣷⣟⣠⣺⣘⣧⣹⣀⣷⢳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠒⠓⡒⡔⣖⠒⠒⠒⠒⠲⠒⢒⢒⠒⠖⠒⢒⣒⢺⡒⢱⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢯⠭⠭⠭⠽⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠽⠭⠽⠭⠥⠭⠭⠽⠯⠭⠭⠭⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡯⡭⡭⣭⣯⣭⡍⡭⠽⣭⠭⣭⠩⢭⢭⣍⣭⣯⣩⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣷⣷⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡧⠯⠬⠭⠬⡤⠥⣯⠭⠽⠭⠭⠥⠵⢥⠭⡭⠭⠭⠯⠼⠭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡯⠭⠭⠽⠭⡭⠭⠭⡭⠭⠭⠭⠯⢭⠭⢭⠭⠭⡭⠯⠽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣇⣐⣐⣂⣒⣃⣒⣒⣑⣓⣚⣞⣛⣻⣃⣚⣉⣻⣃⣚⣗⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣒⣒⣶⣶⣶⣴⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣷⣦⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡧⠤⠤⠤⡭⡤⠤⠷⠤⠤⠼⠧⠼⣬⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣥⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1324 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Gemini Links 27/04/2026: Gopher Catchup, MNT Reform, and Injuries⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 27, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Agostino_Ramelli_Theatre_of_Machines_(1588)⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Economics o Over_the_Moon o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ Electronic_music_and_city_skylines⠀⇛ Hopefully, I'm not the only one that thinks this; if I am though, it's not like I care. On the way into work this morning, it was cloudier than usual, and I was listening to a semi decent drum and bass mix from 1996-1998. Needless to say, it brought back a wave of memories and nostalgia. As a kid, we used to drive around town listening to various music (usually hip hop and NIN), smoking weed, and sometimes taking shots of shitty liquor with a 2 liter of whatever soda was available as a chaser. Kids are dumb, what can I say? # ⚓ BUBBLE_HOUSE⠀⇛ The sun room attached to my house does a great job at warming up the lounge room on sunny days. This is especially welcome since I prefer not to wear clothes whenever possible, yet can't afford to run heating all winter. However it doesn't do much for the rest of the house, and moments after the sun goes down (or even goes behind a big dark cloud) it cools off and starts sucking the heat out of the (slightly) insulated areas of the house unless the door is closed in time. It seems to me that the effect of the sun room could be replicated over the entire house exterior by enclosing it in a huge arched awning of transparent material. Furthermore if this material had insulating properties, such as clear bubble wrap, it would lessen the speed of heat loss when the sun isn't shining. This would form a bubble of warm air which could be circulated inside the house during the day, then at night the house would be closed up and the warmer than ambient air outside would reduce the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the house, therefore reducing heat loss from inside it. # ⚓ solo_party⠀⇛ Dreams of you, dreams of others My nights fulfill the desires of the celibate # ⚓ sweet_tooth⠀⇛ my teeth ache for soft and sweet to bite into and savour decadence # ⚓ Hundred_Rabbits_Intro⠀⇛ One of my projects this spring was to arrange to bring the two person artist collective Hundred Rabbits[1] to the university library where I work, to give a talk followed by an informal reception. It happened this past Friday and I have to say it was a memorable afternoon. The Rabbits were great, and the crowd of around 50 people were enthusiastic and appreciative. I led off with a somewhat playful and rambling intro, the themes of which should be somewhat familiar to readers of this phlog ... # ⚓ Wrist_injury⠀⇛ It took two weeks from my moderate wrist injury last month for me to figure a way I'd be willing to use the medical system. So far I'm glad I did, for peace of mind at least, though it didn't make much difference. My dominant wrist had been increasingly sore for weeks, I assumed due to repetitive stress. I took a slight fall on the way in from the compost heap, then led a weekend primitive camping trip and wild caving adventure for kids. I didn't have an obvious injury on the caving trip, but on the way out noticed sharp localized pain in my dominant wrist, which appeared unstable and deformed. It quickly became unusable. # ⚓ Spring_Update,_Doom_and_Gloom⠀⇛ Ah, spring in Atlantic Canada. As I look out my window, there are still islands of snow on the ground, but it's just above freezing, and of course it's raining. We had some drought and wildfires last summer, let's hope we don't get a repeat of that this year. It's been hard finding creative energy lately, the world seems more fucked up than I can ever remember and it definitely dampens one's mood. A lot of this comes from the Agent of Chaos in the US, but let's face it, he is the symptom of a sick society, not a cause. When he dies or is otherwise replaced, there will be much rejoicing from most of the world, but will anything change? # ⚓ Is_bullying_good?⠀⇛ I found another lunatic on the WWW again, one of those hominids that doesn't know who or what it is. The hominids that list their pronouns as something other than "he/him" or "she/her." The fucking scumbag deviants that have grown so numerous or loud that they're undermining millennia of languages and communication because they're "confused." As a polyglot, I find it reprehensible to even list pronouns. Those are not choices but immutable linguistic and biological facts. Only Klinefelter folks remotely have that choice. It made me wonder what changed in the world that made this kind of horse shit acceptable. They should be ashamed of that. In the 1980s movies, they'd have the stupid beaten out of them... at least things that stupid and actually wrong. It's disgusting. I didn't even have fighting issues in school when I was growing up: they'd still talk suspension or expulsion depending. [...] The bottom line is I think bullying, at least in its verbal form, is necessary to regulate and tamp out extremism. Shame is necessary at times. So are pain and being humbled. Bullying can definitely go too far, and the fact is many of these out-of- control echo chambers are full of bullies, but they're bullying sanity and moderation instead of the fringe lunacy. Where will we be when we can't communicate with people who hold different ideas because our sane ideas have been polarized to insanity? # ⚓ new_path⠀⇛ Trying a new path, a new way of seeing reality. Mantras shifted reality in a radical way. Like a dream, symbols appears during the day in such a orchestrated way that I can't simply dismiss that to chance. This mantra is powerful and I am scared of where it's leading me. But what is the alternative? Do nothing and keep my energy to its lowest so I can get by without too much happening in my life? I did that for way too long. o § Economics⠀➾ # ⚓ Re:_Bike_wreck⠀⇛ What was shocking to me, is reading: The last thing i wanted was a medical intervention and the risk of escalating the situation and racking up debts. Which showcases the state of the US health care system. Here, in Europe, we often take our health care systems for granted. We don't recognize enough, how fortunate we are with these systems, and that we should be very grateful for this. Of course there are always powers at work, that try to break this situation. The rise of the far right makes this a real risk. # ⚓ Bike_Wreck⠀⇛ Recently i had a bicycle accident. It hurt, i was shaken, and i wrote a fearful phlog post. Every human being experiences fears and that is normal. However, i do not wish to stoke these fires nor present myself this way in gopherspace. I was actually very lucky. The accident could have been so much worse. Gratefully, i have received all the support i needed to deal with it. # ⚓ The_Public_Matter⠀⇛ How a bit of Cicero gets put under copyright, well, I don't know, as the Latin predates the notion of copyright by some years. Maybe a lawyer advised for this weasel warning, a sort of "the legal buck can't stop here" corporate posterior plating? Francis Foster Barham, a son of Penzance,† translated "Treatise on the Commonwealth" in 1841, or so. Lifetime of author plus how many years is that? At least stuff is now actually falling into the public domain, again. Eventually. Assuming it survives. Anyways, the introduction is very much in the style of the times, given the then recent antics across the channel. Madame Guillotine, nudge nudge wink wink say no more! o § Over the Moon⠀➾ # ⚓ alt_life⠀⇛ I still enjoy watching a space launch. I did as a kid, and yesterday I did it again. Artemis II is not an impressive spaceship though, at least not visually impressive. It looks more like a preschooler project built with toilet paper rolls. # ⚓ Over_the_moon⠀⇛ "Those things are so ugly," Ellie said as she ran the razor over my scalp. The subject of her disapproval had just pulled up in front of the barber shop, though it appeared its owner was bound for the bakery next door. "Yeah, not a fan myself" I replied, a bit of an understatement. I'd never quite decided whether "wank panzer" or "swastikar" was the better epithet. Normally Mark cuts what remains of my hair, but when he's away or all booked up Ellie is my go-to. Mark and I exchange pleasantries about the usual old-guy stuff (golf, vacation plans) but conversations with Ellie tend to be a bit more unpredictable. # ⚓ 12th_April_2026_-_Sanctuary⠀⇛ Lately, I have been watching Sanctuary. This is a Japanese TV series about sumo wrestling. We follow a young person who joined sumo after being a street hoodlum so that he can earn and save money. His parents have split following a bankrupt business. The father, a timid chap who obesses over his garden and the mother is a bit of a drugged out tart. The story mostly follows the street hoodlum and a reporter who is following the stable. This reporter was a political reporter but ended up in sumo following an incident. She does not know anything about sumo which is helpful as the viewer learns alongside her. The hoodlum becomes Enno. There is a lot of harsh hazing activities with bullying rife between wrestlers. When things go wrong, the stable master does a lot of hitting too. It shows the harsh reality of young men living in a dormitory without much supervision. The reporter provides a suitably shocked response to all of this, which helps prove that this is not normal outside of the sumo world. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ syntakt⠀⇛ I borrow the Syntakt from my friend who has apparently all the synth I need! I've purchased the Digitone II as I needed a machine dedicated to drums. The DT II is a synth, but it can do drum, and is so versatile that I though it would work well in my workflow. But it ended up being too complex to get where I wanted to go. While I like crafting sound on my Mopho, a substractive analog synth, I don't like spending too much time on elektron device to design a new sound. # ⚓ Re:_Lateral_thinking_with_withered_tech⠀⇛ Solderpunk wrote about a design philosophy I want to internalize. A Nintendo engineer used old tech in new products, like the GameBoy monochrome display. This kept cost down and the focus on building fun games instead of new tech demos. Solderpunk suggested this as an approach to salvage computing. If we want to live within our means, don't prioritize manufacturing small-batch low- power e-paper display new things, be more creative in repurposing old things. I'm dreaming up and hopefully making some DOS-based systems for children in my community. As a thought experiment, I dreamed a mass-adopted machine with an entirely reshored supply chain that could do the same thing as the boutique salvage computers I'm making. # ⚓ An_Annoying_End_To_A_Project⠀⇛ Today I was called into a meeting about the status of one of the 2 projects I lead teams on. Unfortunately it was a 'we are not bidding' outcome and so after 3 years of fun, I stop. It makes sense. The project being a one off never made sense. However, with some strategic thinking, it could become a common control and instrumentation platform. Ah well. That has technical risk and no one wanted to pay for it. What was annoying is that this decision could have been made before we produced the technical pack. Lots of stress for nothing. # ⚓ Copyleft_sign⠀⇛ If you've ever visited my website 'chalsattack.com' you might have noticed that I have a copyright sign on it. Make no mistake, I am more the kind of copyleft guy than any other thing you can think of. But I think I need to explain you one thing first. In the first place, I put the copyright symbol several years ago only because I thought it was super cool having it on a website. I never gave it any more importance. # ⚓ 17th_April_2026_-_XTEINK_X4⠀⇛ I have recently acquired a XTEINK X4, a teeny tiny and simple ereader. It is palm sized with a business card sized screen. There is no backlight and controls are done using switches. There are 4 on the bottom of the screen and 2 on the side along with a power switch on the side too. It is a compromised device in that it is based on a ESP32-C3 microcontroller. However, it is cheap enough and small enough to become an ever present companion. I spent about 40 something pounds in the end with Alibaba. I am sure there are cheaper but I am lazy when it comes to searching on that site. # ⚓ On_tests_and_documentation⠀⇛ I'm working on a new semantic layer called 💫 Cantrip, where semantics are defined as VIEWs stored in the database: metrics, dimensions, relationships, metadata — everything lives in views. # ⚓ ESP32_and_STM32_to_play_with⠀⇛ This week I ordered a few things to play with: - ESP32 starterkit - STM32 bluepill - ESP32-WROVER - Extra breadboard, and breadboard wires # ⚓ LLAMA_and_POWER⠀⇛ Just for fun I compiled the curren llama.cpp [1] on my Blackbird workstation (the POWER9 system). To my great surprise it have been working. No patches, no hacking, it just works. I'm using the CPU only as mu graphics card is not exactly ythe latest (mildly said). The compilation was easy: cmake . && make -j17 I didn't recorded the time but it was quite fast. # ⚓ MNT_Reform_2_upgrade⠀⇛ As I mentioned before I have got final delivery of new parts for my "big" MNT Reform 2 laptop. I have upgraded the smaller Pocket Reform previously so I thing I should summarize all these things. The MNT Pocket reform: I described the changes in my previous posts. Basically, I have replaced the CPU board, the charging/audio board and the WiFi card. I also have tried to replace the batteries but I did something wrong here. SO I'm now running the old batteries with smaller capacity. So far the device behaves better - much lower discharge rates when off, lower CPU/chipset temperatures (under 60C,; if woas often over 70C with the older CPU) and it also seems that the WiFi reception is MUCH better now. # ⚓ MNT_Pocket_Reform_with_new_CPU⠀⇛ A few days ago I have received the new Rockchip RK3588 CPU card for my Pocket Reform. I already have the same CPU in my "full-sized" MNT Reform 2 laptop and it is much better than the original (much older) CPU. Of course, the suspend to RAM is still not working on the Linux+RK3588. I ordered this somewhere in September but it was a bundle with other things for both of my MNT machines so the package was waiting until all items will be available. I already replaced the charging board (the device behave much better now - discharging when off is much more acceptable than before). # ⚓ MNT_Pocket_Reform_Status_Update⠀⇛ As I have mentioned some weeks ago I replaced the charger board of my MNT Pocket Reform. It improved some battery-related things so I have been using the device as a laptop once again. The batteries are the original ones so just about 4 hour of battery life can be expected. So far it's not a problem. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Supplyframe_Sells_Tindie,_Now_in_Its_Second_Week_of Site_Outage,_to_Parties_Unknown⠀⇛ Makers' marketplace Tindie has been down for over a week, following its acquisition from former owner Supplyframe by parties unknown — with claims that it is undergoing a major overhaul following a period of apparent neglect failing to fully placate its sellers. Tindie was originally founded as a marketplace for independent hardware makers to sell their goods, and its specificity compared to more general-purpose platforms like Etsy or Ebay drove its success. In 2015 the company was acquired by Supplyframe, which had previously bought project hosting and news site Hackaday two years earlier — with Supplyframe chief technology officer Aleksandar Bradic promising at the time to "more closely integrate the two" while helping its sellers "improve margins and ship better products [and to] grow the overall Tindie audience." # ⚓ Right_tool_to_browse_Gopher?⠀⇛ I have been observing a strange thing: I read Gopher pages mostly on my old SGI machines. Usually on my IRIS Indigo R3k but also on my O2. While I usually browse Gopher in the Netscape Navigator I also use the Lynx. And this is strange: all my modern computers run Lynx but I feel somewhat uncomfortable when I use the Lynx there. I have no idea why. Of course I can use the Overbite on the phone and inside the Firefox. I do. Anyway,the old Netscape or even the Lynx in old SGI terminal seem to be more comfortable. # ⚓ Cuneiforth⠀⇛ I know I haven't written to you for ages. (It's almost April and this is the first 2026 post! Holy crap.) I'm not going to apologise though since, as I've said before, I keep this phlog for my own reasons - as we all do - and we shouldn't let ourselves feel guilty for not engaging exactly as much as we want to. There's enough of that nonsense out there on the surface web. But I do want to say what I've been up to. Actually I'm bursting to talk about it! That's the main problem with niche pursuits: it's almost impossible to find anybody to share them with, except online. So I've got a lot of pent-up words. The problem is though that they're still so muddled up I keep putting this post off, thinking that maybe "next week" they'll be in a better shape to lay out. Nah, fuck it - let's go. I'm building it up too much and, honestly, it's not that exciting to anybody besides me. :) =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Got some accounts hacked (i still don't know /HOW/, lost some money and to top it all off a power surge during the first thunderstorm this year killed a whole ton of electronics in the house... including all of my connected computers. The joy... The more expensive items (stove, television and so on) are covered by insurance but i not even tried to file the loss of my computers, i am pretty sure the sum the insurance would pay out would cover at most a beer (a can... of the cheaper kind). So here i were... again without a computer, again lost the systems i had in the same way i already lost one very expensive computer over a decade ago. *Sigh* # ⚓ 09_April_2026⠀⇛ If you, dear reader are able to read this entry the world hasn't ended... at least not completely and not for all of us. For the last couple of weeks i really struggle with the sheer amount of... crazyness... that is the news in this still young 2026. Iran trolling the Trump administration with AI generated Lego videos? A president that announces a genocide at worst or a big warcrime at best via social media? Live updates from soldiers in Ukraine being hunted by FPV drones? If you ask me, its nuts. Completely. All of it. Again i am contemplating if i should take a break from all of this, log out of the net, keep the modern(-ish) computers off and dive again into the wonderful world of DOS. Annas post about the future of education using simpler computers sureley made me wish to take a look at this little corner of the computing world again. We will see... # ⚓ DOCUMENTARY_HIGHTLIGHTS⠀⇛ Some notable documentaries following an observational style in foreign settings, similar but not as hardcore as "Tie Xi Qu: West of the Tracks" which I talked about in 2026-01- 01A_Chinese_New_year.txt, are The Moscow Skyscraper (2005) and Inheriting the Castle (2024). The Moscow Skyscraper is particularly interesting, intermixing the daily lives of residents in the skyscraper completed shortly before the death of Stalin, with insights by the filmmaker into the mindset of life under Stalin's rule from his own memories living around the scyscraper in his youth, as well as those of the older residents. The documentary highlights the rapid and somewhat ironic changes in society reflected by the different skyscraper's different occupants. From the old guard of the son of a former Communist party official, and an acclaimed military weapons designer, to the new capitalists with a banker's freshly rennovated apartment and up-market stores and clubs replacing the bookshop and green grocer's in the shops at the base. But it ends with the curious spectacle of a Russian election, with votes cast in the building's foyer, whereby the filmmaker comments on how Russia under Putin nevertheless still suggests of a rising mentality familiar to him from the time of Stalin's rule. # ⚓ WEEK_THOUGHTS⠀⇛ Just some quick babbling (added to over the week until it's a huge post like usual) about unimportant things I've thought about posting lately but never found the time. Funny, I was thinking in bed this morning about how there's nothing really worth talking about, now here I am talking away. Mind you as usual that was all in relation to my usual topic of why I don't have any luck with women. Ah, I guess it's all semi- conscious rehearsal for the rare event of meeting one such mythical being. If indeed I really want to... # ⚓ 2026-04-26⠀⇛ i want to treat the trip as an opportunity for simplifying life further. but i don't think i can leave my laptop, for various official reasons. and so the source of my biggest struggles will be coming along. maybe i should consider somehow blocking the internet on it, or making it more difficult to use? i want to be able to write and read etc. but to only sometimes go online... all the internet "addiction" (idk, quotes just in my case) advice people seem to focus on phone use but there's nothing happening on the phone that would be attractive to me. it's the Big internet on the computer that's the problem, especially because it's distracting from the other real, necessary, happy-making uses of the computer. # ⚓ year_of_contentment⠀⇛ what's my year of contentment about? when i started the year, i didn't really have a neat name or through-line for what i wanted to achieve, i couldn't put my finger on it. i knew i wanted to spend less time on distractions (mostly random youtube videos). i thought i could do this by spending more time on Projects - bringing ideas from concept to fruition, instead of vaguely dabbling in things here and there and succeeding only rarely by some grace of circumstance. i also didn't want to buy more tarot decks, or do any emotional spending - treating buying as entertainment or distraction. perhaps even not buy anything unnecessary at all, except for the occasions of birthday and christmas? there was also the adjacent idea of reading my shelves and not buying or bringing in any more books, even from the library. # ⚓ say_it⠀⇛ say what I long to hear and I'll try my hardest to believe for a moment before I remember the truth say the sweet thing anyway in case eventually you'll make the universe believe it too # ⚓ blog_8⠀⇛ hey! got some little life updates for you guys. just moved from temp housing to a rented house (1 year lease) like 2 weeks ago now? its a nice house :) its really small yeah, but i feel much more at home here than i did in the last house. i have all my stuff here now - i have my bed back, my plushies back, and i got a new bedframe that i already really like! its a storage bed with shelves, bottom drawers, and a little table attached at the end, its really dope. # ⚓ MINE_DAMS⠀⇛ Nice warm weather lately, I took a trip to the beach yesterday, so weekend jobs are piled up for this Sunday now after my stay at my mother's last weekend. Still, before I forget, I'll jot down some notes about the abandoned dams I looked at in a former gold mining area on the way. # ⚓ Touristing⠀⇛ When I made my last entry in Feburary there was snow on the ground. Since then the cherry blossoms have come and gone and spring is here in Tokyo. With Golden Week coming up (last week of April, first week of May) summer is just around the corner. My SO and I have been entertaining guests from overseas, so we've been tourists ourselves here and there. Aside from the crowds in places, I cannot really say a bad thing about the experience. Only that the Japanese really cannot speak English, but I guess travellers get around the language barrier by talking into their phones and using google translate? o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ A_SALESMAN'S_PERFECT_WAR⠀⇛ The BBC 'Storyville' documentary Bulletproof Salesman from 2008 (which I found on EDonkey2000) is facinating on many levels. It follows armoured car salesman Fidelis Cloer as he enters Iraq, driving one of his company's armoured cars, after the 2003 American invasion. Narrowly avoiding ambush on his own way into the country, maybe either helped or hindered by his "don't shoot" decals on the car's doors, his first hotel room turns out to have been blown apart by an American tank which had fired upon and killed journalists working there during the conflict. The American troops around the hotel are seen acting casually in spite of passing locals shouting "fuck America". But the salesman sees that the chaos and lawlessness, visible as he moves between officials of the occupying US Army to demonstrate his vehicle, will soon envelop the occupiers themselves. # ⚓ Path_to_freedom⠀⇛ I was reminded of a motto that Jocko Willink, a former U.S. Navy SEAL and now a podcaster, speaker, and author, liked to repeat often... A man who, despite his age, constantly keeps his body and mind in shape (and what shape!). The motto goes: Discipline equals freedom. I write “used to” in the past tense only because quite some time has passed since I last listened to his podcast, but I assume his stance hasn’t changed. In this short post, I just want to share one thought. Discipline does not equal freedom, but it is a great path to it if we find ourselves on a lower rung of this (let’s visualize it this way) ladder to freedom. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ STATE_OF_THE_TRAINS⠀⇛ I mused about trying to plan a holiday by train to Bairnsdale again, a third attempt after previous efforts were blocked by planned railway line closures. My expectation was that fares might go up to offset the fuel costs, but as it's a state-owned enterprise the government proposed it would serve the greater good to make train travel free for the current month to dissuade people from driving. That was enough to tip me over into a proper third Bairnsdale holiday plan. This time though I know where to look first - the V/Line planned closures page - and the result was inevitable. The Bairnsdale line is closed either half or all the journey from the 13th to the 22nd of April, with one gap of activity from the 16th to the 18th. The local line is closed from tomorrow until the 20th of May! They actually were both open this week, but my neck still isn't quite right yet so it's been me that's out of service for that. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Cybernetic_Arts_and_Crafts,_or_Mingeiware⠀⇛ Popping another post off the yearslong backlog stack, which I'm really enjoying doing and hope I can maintain the momentum for a little longer. This was has been sitting there half-baked for many years, and it's probably still only going to come out three-quarters-baked at best. I'm not necessarily happy with or proud of that, but I have been letting perfect be the enemy of good with these things for so long that I think it's time to just get them out there. This one involves exploring parallels in historical craft movements, particularly pottery because I'm currently "in my pottery era", and programming. That's actually a connection which I think is sort of doing the rounds at the moment, in connection with vibecoding, slopcoding, etc. That's not where I'm coming from, although I certainly appreciate the relevance. I started thinking along these lines well before that conversation started. Not that I'm claiming any great originality or ahead-of-the- times-ness here. In fact I am certain that around maybe 2020 or 2021 I saw someone somewhere in then- burgeoning Geminispace mention the Arts and Crafts movement in connection with tech philosophy. That didn't plant the seed in my mind, or anything, I'm just saying this is probably a place people naturally end up after a long enough period of pondering and reading. If - and I know it's a long shot - someone reading this thinks that might have been them that I'm remembering, please do get in touch! # ⚓ AI_Democratizes______⠀⇛ I've seen this statement in a number of places on a number of subjects. It's a key talking point for LLMs spit out by LLMs. Maybe the word is just big enough and understood to hit a perfect token-spend point. The short story is, "Democratization" does not look like a single-handed number of megacorporations slapping a ticker on thinking, destroying the environment and free resources. I don't know how this gets anywhere close to democracy, a limited few fact checkers and proof readings on team-ai. One may argue local models are the perfect solution, I reply that it's still wildly inefficient and all other avenues should be explored first; and finally that learning is fun. # ⚓ RE:_LATERAL_THINKING_WITH_WITHERED_TECHNOLOGY⠀⇛ Solderpunk wrote about "withered technology", AKA "seasoned technology", or, less romantically, probably what's more widely called "mature technology" and in turn repurposing old tech for new fun. He asked for examples and I wrote down a list but haven't found time to write about it. Ironically mainly because I've been busy in the evenings putting the finishing touches on my mother's overdue Christmas present which is actually kind-of a good example of the idea since it's made from bits of a particularly unwanted piece of recently-modern technology. But since I eventually want to write about that on my website associated with my real identity, I'll have to skip that here. # ⚓ Marchintosh_2026_Wrap-up_/_Post-mortem⠀⇛ So, I'm afraid my '26 Marchintosh really wasn't what I'd hoped it might be... As I mentioned previously, the two Macs that I most wanted to use for Marchintosh and Globaltalk-specific shenanigans simply weren't operational and I just didn't have the time or energy to troubleshoot these hardware issues. # ⚓ The_Sadness_of_Goodbye-For-Now⠀⇛ Met with some friends and colleagues for a late lunch, Thai food at a place near my house: a going away for an acquaintance of mine, someone I'd worked with in some capacity for the better part of fifteen years at two separate companies. Mostly on separate teams, but once on the same small squad. He got fired a year or two ago, has been looking for work and interviewing, but, well. The tech job market isn't great here. He's got some development experience, but mostly does software QA, both in manual and automated testing. And a decade ago, our last company decided to eliminate QA, believing that automated testing would fix all their problems (it didn't). Software QA roles are, as far as I can tell, much rarer than they were a couple of decades ago, when we were both starting out at twenty-five years old. The industry shifts. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Insert_Title_Here⠀⇛ I've been quiet on gemini for a while, for a variety of reasons. In December last year I submitted an article on AI to Artstyle, and now in March it got published. With the rapid development in the field, a few months should be enough to make some finer points obsolete. Briefly, I'm criticising generative AI for its negative impact on the environment, as well as on society and individuals. # ⚓ THE_INTELLIGENCE_BASELINE⠀⇛ I really haven't done much with AI. I tried out the chatbots a few times and determined they were hopelessly unreliable for anything that wasn't just as easy to do using conventional computer tools. They are excellent at generating convincing bullshit, which seems to be a massively disirable commodity, but that's a disadvantage if you're one of those strange people who actually want a real answer from them. Using them to write code just seems crazy since you then have to figure out how that code works, which I've always found much harder than just writing the code myself, and equally error prone. Although maybe that's just my obsession, like with reading books, of understanding every little detail as I go (even as I forget the last detail at the same time, which is how I get stuck). [...] Not just claimed direct AI posting either, but posters who copy/paste AI responses then disown them when the response is proven wrong, or ignore responses pointing out errors in their AI slop only to do the same things again and again later on. # ⚓ Sorry_for_the_silence⠀⇛ As you might have noticed, the updates have started appearing rarer here, which is not surprising as my main outlet is now my Lynx microblog. Anyway, I've been on a week-long vacation and turned 35 last Sunday, while taking some interesting turns in my personal development as an engineer. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Weekly notes are like a window. I love going through these, as they’re a steady stream of week on week happenings and progress in people’s lives. It shows people making efforts to improve: from basic things like learning to swim or drive, to planning long-term goals such as vacations, moving house, states, or even countries — and, in some cases, internal monologues, thoughts, and anxieties. These are like a constant nudge for me to work on myself, like them.

How do programmers explain what we are doing to each other? How have books written about programming changed the way we work and think? So now I’m writing about programming books. If you think this is somewhat elegiac for the Era of the Programming Book, as the co-author of a 700 page programming book in an era where there will be roughly zero new 700 page programming books, yeah, kinda. So this series, “When Books Could Code” (alluding, obviously, to the “If Books Could Kill” podcast, making my title the faint echo of somebody else’s joke, which somehow seems appropriate). o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Daniel Estévez ☛ Decoding_the_NB-IoT_downlink⠀⇛ While writing this post, I have been referring frequently to the paper A Tutorial on NB-IoT Physical Layer Design, by Matthieu Kanj, Vincent Savaux, and Mathieu Le Gue. This is an illustrated and concise introduction to the NB-IoT physical layer which is much easier to follow on a first read than the 3GPP TS documents. The TS documents still need to be consulted for many of the details. The signal structure depends on whether the cell is FDD, TDD or NTN FDD. Here I will be treating only the FDD case, which is the most common for NB-IoT, because that is what is used in my recording. Additionally, there are some differences depending on whether the NB-IoT carrier is placed in-band (that is, inside the resource element raster of an LTE carrier), or in the guardband or standalone. These differences boil down to the fact that for in-band operation the NB-IoT signal needs to avoid resource elements which are used by the LTE CRS (cell-specific reference signals) and the control region, which occupies the first 1 to 3 symbols of each subframe depending on the configuration. My recording is of a guardband cell, so I will only treat this case. # ⚓ Works in Progress Magazine ☛ The_world’s_most_complex machine⠀⇛ Advanced semiconductors are, arguably, the most important technology in the world. Over the last five years, they have even emerged as a geopolitical flashpoint between the US and China. But for all this rivalry, any country or company that hopes to manufacture semiconductors is dependent on a single firm: ASML. Dubbed ‘a relatively obscure Dutch company’ by the BBC in 2020, ASML makes the only machines in the world capable of stenciling the transistors onto chips with the precision necessary to fit billions on a 30-centimeter wafer. These machines are roughly the size of double- decker buses. To ship one requires 40 freight containers, three cargo planes, and 20 trucks. They are the world’s most complex objects. Each contains over one hundred thousand components, all of which have to be perfectly calibrated for the machine to produce light consistently at the right wavelength. # ⚓ Denis ☛ The_West_Forgot_How_to_Build._Now_It's_Forgetting Code⠀⇛ In March 2023, the EU promised Ukraine one million artillery shells within twelve months. European production capacity sat at 230,000 shells per year. Ukraine was consuming 5,000 to 7,000 rounds per day. Anyone with a calculator could see this wouldn’t work. By the deadline, Europe delivered about half. Macron called the original promise reckless. An investigation by eleven media outlets across nine countries found actual production capacity was roughly one-third of official EU claims. The million-shell mark wasn’t hit until December 2024, nine months late. It wasn’t one bottleneck. It was all of them. France had halted domestic propellant production in 2007. Seventeen years of nothing. Europe’s single major TNT producer was in Poland. Germany had two days of ammunition stored. A Nammo plant in Denmark was shut down in 2020 and had to be restarted from scratch. The entire continent’s defense industry had been optimized for making small batches of expensive custom products. Nobody planned for volume. Nobody planned for crisis. The U.S. wasn’t much better. One plant in Scranton, one facility in Iowa for explosive fill, no domestic TNT production since 1986. Billions of investment later, production still hadn’t hit half the target. # ⚓ [Old] Markus Wandel ☛ My_Homemade_PBX⠀⇛ I did gain access to a lot of junked electronic components that would allow me to build complex projects. Also I had learned about microcontrollers which allow the construction of smart electronic projects. And lastly, I had begun to frequent suburban garage sales, where telephones of every description were plentiful and cheap. The stage was set to finally build my own dial telephone system. I spent several months of evenings and weekends on this, in the 1992-93 timeframe. I didn't draw a schematic for it, but I will give here what information I have in my notes or can remember. This is intended for educational and/or entertainment purposes. In no way is it sufficient information to duplicate the circuit. Perhaps it will satisfy the next person who asks about it after reading the brag reference I inserted into this old Usenet posting. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-14_[Older]_The_world_ditched wasteful_toilets,_the_US_stayed_behind⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-14_[Older]_Sudan:_Iran_war_prompts 'massive'_food,_fuel_price_rises;_drones_kill_hundreds_of civilians_in_2026⠀⇛ # ⚓ Project Censored ☛ 2026-04-15_[Older]_Fewer_Vaccine Mandates_Result_in_Fewer_Doctor_Visits_for_Kids⠀⇛ # ⚓ Michał Sapka ☛ Simulating_linear_TV_for_The_Kid⠀⇛ And let me interject for a moment and note that I attempt to show him older shows. The pacing is slower, the stories deeper, the humour smarter. Yes, sure - not everything new is bad, but it's much easier to pick and choose from infinite library of old than to hope they didn't Netlix this new, random show. He will have time to get the brainrot, but armed with context of older titles. Our current library is surprisingly long: [...] # ⚓ Yle ☛ Doctor_urges_"nature_prescriptions"_for_patients⠀⇛ In a clinical study, Kolster and other researchers had 79 adult primary care patients in Sipoo take part in either a nature group or a conventional exercise group over eight weeks. Many of the participants had diabetes or symptoms of depression. The results showed that both groups experienced improvements in physical health, but the nature group stood out on one key measure, which was sleep. As many as 61 percent reported sleeping better. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ 2026-04-13_[Older]_Apple_Has a_Fake_Ledger_App_Problem_After_Musician_Loses_a_Decade_of Bitcoin_Savings⠀⇛ # ⚓ Microsoft_wants_8,750_workers_gone_—_and_its_'Rule_of_70' reveals_exactly_who's_on_the_chopping_block⠀⇛ Silicon Valley has a job-security problem. The tech sector has ramped-up voluntary layoffs since Google's Platforms & Devices buyout in January 2025. For the first time, Microsoft appears poised to board the train of tech companies offering buyout packages to employees. # § Artificial Intelligence (AI) / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Waymo_Baffles_Police_When_it_Plows_Through Taped_Off_Crime_Scene⠀⇛ The latest incident from the company happened late Wednesday night in Harlesden, a burg in Northwest London. Police had closed a road in order to investigate a grisly double- stabbing, blocking off the street with crime scene tape and flashing squad cars. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Your_Former_Employer_Is_Selling_Your Slacks_and_Emails_to_Train_AI⠀⇛ Founders of defunct startups are more than happy to do business with RL gym builders, and middlemen have emerged to facilitate these transactions. SimpleClosure, a company that styles itself the “TurboTax of shutting down,” recently launched a new tool called Asset Hub that allows moribund companies to sell off their Slack archives, emails, and libraries of code, and supposedly anonymizing that data before it finds a buyer. Its CEO Dori Yona told Forbes that it’s processed nearly 100 deals for defunct companies in the past year, recovering over $1 million dollars for their founders. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Tokenmaxxing_isn't_an_AI_strategy⠀⇛ You could start with the token, the basic unit for selling the input and output of AI models at the moment. The price of tokens has been much on the mind of developers using AI subscription plans because plan providers like Anthropic and GitHub have been pushing customers away from token-subsidized subscriptions toward pay-as-you-go consumption. # ⚓ The New Stack ☛ The_disappearing_AI_middle_class⠀⇛ In 24 hours last week, OpenAI and DeepSeek made opposite bets on what frontier AI is worth. One says it is a closed product that just got more expensive. The other says it is open infrastructure that just got dramatically cheaper. The price gap between the two ends of the market is now wider than it has been in years, and the comfortable middle that most coding agents have been routing through is thinning out. # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ Seth Godin ☛ Bad_money…⠀⇛ Social media platforms fall into a trap like this when they seek to grow. For example, at the beginning, Substack had a very high signal to noise ratio–plenty of good ideas and so readers were happy to expect that an email from them or recommendation from the platform was worthwhile. It didn’t get put in the spam or promo folder, because it wasn’t spam. # ⚓ NPR ☛ The_surprising_origin_of_4_features_that superglue_kids_—_and_adults_—_to_screens⠀⇛ These features create a kind of superglue on the apps, says cultural anthropologist Natasha Dow Schüll at New York University, who has pioneered research in this field. "They keep us spending more time on these apps and spending more money. They drain us of our energy and ourselves." Understanding these features offers parents a rubric for evaluating how harmful an app or device may be for kids, Schüll says. During the trial in California, the attorney bringing the case accused Meta and Google of designing their apps to behave like "digital casinos." That's an apt comparison, according to Schüll's research, because major design elements of social media have surprising roots in the gambling industry. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Critical_Vulnerability_Exposes_Linux_Systems_To_Root-Level Takeover⠀⇛ A newly disclosed security flaw affecting Linux systems has raised fresh concerns about the integrity of core package management infrastructure, after researchers revealed that a vulnerability lurking for over a decade could allow attackers to escalate privileges and gain root- level control. # ⚓ Security Affairs ☛ 12-year-old_Pack2TheRoot_bug_lets_Linux users_gain_root_privileges⠀⇛ ‘Pack2TheRoot’ flaw lets local Linux users gain root via PackageKit. CVE-2026-41651 (8.8) has existed for nearly 12 years. # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ Kelby Ludwig ☛ You_don't_want_long-lived_keys⠀⇛ This setup is, admittedly, toilsome. Don't distribute that toil to everyone. You can concentrate that effort into a group that is incentivized to be rigorous and solve it once, for everyone. Reducing toil and consolidating rigor is a major advantage of robust security infrastructure. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Tinder_Scanning_Users'_Eyeballs_to_Prove They_Aren't_Creeps⠀⇛ Tinder is partnering with Scam Altman’s World project to let its users prove they’re real humans, in just about the creepiest way possible: scanning their eyeballs with a Cyclops-looking orb. The initiative, carried out by Altman’s startup Tools for Humanity, was announced last Friday, and represents a major foray for the biometric verification startup, which has struggled to catch on amid numerous controversies. # ⚓ NPR ☛ The_Supreme_Court_case_that_could_redefine_your digital_privacy⠀⇛ Geofencing allows the government to draw a virtual fence around a geographic area where a crime was committed. After that, the government seeks a warrant — not to search a home or office, but to require a tech company to search its data to identify any of its millions of users who were within the geofence line at the time of the crime. # § Confidentiality⠀➾ # ⚓ [Old] CoryDoctorow ☛ Pluralistic:_09_Nov_2022 Delegating_trust_is_really,_really,_really_hard_ (infosec_edition)⠀⇛ These companies are so opaque and obscure that it might be impossible to ever find out what's really going on, and that's the point. For the web to have privacy, the Certificate Authorities that hold the (literal) keys to that privacy must be totally transparent. We can't assume that they are perfectly spherical cows of uniform density. # ⚓ [Old] Princeton University ☛ Turktrust_Certificate Authority_Errors_Demonstrate_The_Risk_of_"Subordinate" Certificates⠀⇛ Today, the public learned of another failure by a Certificate Authority–one of of companies that certifies SSL-encryption for our internet communications. (See the end of this post for a catalogue of our past writing on problems with this “CA” system.) This time, the company Turktrust was revealed to have issued two subordinate certificates (also known as “intermediate” certificates) to entities that should not have had them. Subordinate certificates are very powerful. They give the holder the ability to issue SSL certificates for any domain name as though they have control of the parent CA’s “root” certificate. In this case, Google discovered that one of Turktrust’s previously undisclosed subordinate certificates had issued SSL certificates for the domain gmail.com, and that these certificates had been used to intercept Gmail users’ traffic… somewhere. This is where the details get foggy, but Turktrust has begun to describe their version of events. There is a less paranoid and a more paranoid way of interpreting what happened. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Daniel Pocock ☛ Predicted:_Cole_Thomas_Allen,_gay_or transgender_boyfriend_rumours⠀⇛ What appears to be an attempt to assassinate the US President Donald Trump has dominated the news today. There are numerous people on social control media suggesting the suspect, Cole Thomas Allen, may be gay or transgender, like the Zizian problems. Some people make comments about a handwritten note left for his transgender partner. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-13_[Older]_Australia_appoints first_female_army_chief⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-18_[Older]_Displaced_by_Iran_war: out_of_Lebanon,_into_Syrian_crisis⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-13_[Older]_France:_Ex-Lafarge_CEO jailed_for_funding_Syrian_jihadists⠀⇛ # ⚓ University of Michigan ☛ 2026-04-13_[Older]_Students Organize_for_Syria_hosts_Threads_of_Heritage:_Syrian_Textiles as_Living_History⠀⇛ # ⚓ Robert Reich ☛ Sunday_thought:_Last_Night's_Correspondents Dinner⠀⇛ There is a close relationship between Trump and violence — not just the attempts on his life but also the violence he’s unleashed on the world, the violence his ICE and Border Patrol agents have caused inside America, the violence he has incited among his followers. (A few of last night’s attendees were in Congress on January 6, 2021 when Trump’s thugs attacked the U.S. Capitol.) Trump’s violence has resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries. That is no justification for last night’s attack, of course, but it is part of what he has wrought in America. He has changed the script in Washington. # ⚓ Ipswich News ☛ Has_Suffolk_been_put_in_Russia's crosshairs?⠀⇛ A road running through RAF Mildenhall has appeared on a list of European sites that Russia's defence ministry has described as potential military targets — just months after one of Ukraine's leading drone manufacturers opened a factory there. We examine what that means, and what it does not. # ⚓ Project Censored ☛ 2026-04-13_[Older]_US_Militarism_in Latin_America_and_Corporate_Colonialism_in_Honduras⠀⇛ o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ JURIST ☛ Ontario_passes_law_shielding_provincial_ministers' records_from_information_requests⠀⇛ Bill 97, also known as the Plan to Protect Ontario Act (Budget Measures), contains several statutes and amendments to implement its fiscal budget. Also contained in the bill is an amendment to the provincial Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, which protects Ontario citizens’ right of access to government records with limited exceptions. The amendment passed on Thursday adds subsection 65(18) to the act, excluding government records held by a minister or their office from the scope of the act. As the amendment removes records held by cabinet ministers and their offices from the legislation altogether, privacy protocols and safeguards in the legislation no longer apply to these records. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 40_years_after_Chernobyl:_Pripyat_today⠀⇛ When Reactor 4 exploded on April 26, 1986, the city had only existed for 16 years. Pripyat was made up of 160 buildings, with 13,500 apartments, 15 kindergartens, and five schools. # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ Chernobyl's_wildlife:_The_real_story isn't_the_presence_of_radiation,_it's_the_absence_of_humans⠀⇛ Forty years after the Chernobyl explosion, the controversy over how the accident affected people and ecosystems goes on. I've been studying the environmental impacts of the disaster since I began my Ph.D. research in 1990 on radioactive fallout in the English Lake District. Scientists have learned a lot since then, with thousands of studies published. But the mainstream and social media remain rife with misinformation and exaggeration about the accident's effects. Scientists often blame the media for this, but maybe we should put some of the blame on ourselves. # ⚓ Western Water ☛ Western_drought_deepens_across_Colorado River_Basin⠀⇛ As of April 25, 2026, conditions across the basin reflect a familiar pattern: limited precipitation, expanding drought coverage, and growing concerns about long-term water supply. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-14_[Older]_Lufthansa_pilots to_strike_again_for_2_more_days,_leading_to_a_full working_week_of_disruption⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ 2026-04-15_[Older]_Solar_panels won’t_slash_energy_bills_on_their_own_–_an_expert explains_how_to_maximise_savings⠀⇛ # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ The University of British Columbia ☛ Raccoons_solve puzzles_for_the_fun_of_it,_new_study_finds⠀⇛ Researchers used a custom multi-access puzzle box with mechanisms such as latches, sliding doors or knobs. The box had nine entry points, grouped as easy, medium and hard. In Each 20-minute trial the puzzle box contained a single marshmallow, yet raccoons often continued opening new mechanisms after eating it, a clear sign of information-seeking. “We weren’t expecting them to open all three solutions in a single trial,” said Griebling. “They kept problem solving even when there was no marshmallow at the end.” # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-14_[Older]_New_whale sighting_on_German-Danish_border⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-14_[Older]_Colombia_approves cull_of_Pablo_Escobar-legacy_wild_hippos⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Revelator ☛ 2026-04-14_[Older]_Insects_Are Disappearing_—_Here’s_How_to_Help⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ 2026-04-15_[Older]_How_to_tell_if your_dog_is_in_pain_(and_what_to_do_if_they_are)⠀⇛ o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-14_[Older]_China:_Evergrande property_developer_founder_pleads_guilty⠀⇛ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ 2026-04-16_[Older]_How_to_Make_Housing_More Affordable⠀⇛ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2026-04-17_[Older]_What_to_do_about_burnout_at_work⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-14_[Older]_South_Korea_sentences 90‑year‑old_woman_for_money_laundering⠀⇛ o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-14_[Older]_Spanish_PM_Sanchez' wife_charged_with_corruption⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-14_[Older]_Spanish_premier_calls for_a_stronger_bond_between_China_and_EU_on_Beijing_trip⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-14_[Older]_Spain:_Sanchez government_finalizes_amnesty_plan_for_undocumented_migrants⠀⇛ # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ 2026-04-17_[Older]_‘Financial_Pawn_of_the Saudi_Monarchy’:_House_Judiciary_Opens_Probe_Into_Jared Kushner⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ 2026-04-17_[Older]_House_Judiciary_Investigating Jared_Kushner’s_Investments_From_Saudi_Arabia⠀⇛ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Tesla_Quietly_Buys_Mysterious_$2_Billion Entity⠀⇛ Outside Tesla senior leadership, that’s all anybody seems to know — it isn’t clear what the mystery company is even named, let alone what it does or why Tesla is paying $2 billion to snatch it up. # ⚓ Rebecca Solnit ☛ The_Case_for_Climate_Champion_Tom_Steyer in_the_California_Governor's_Race⠀⇛ Right now every voter who cares about climate and human rights should first focus on the mess this jungle primary hands us: the top two candidates go on to the general election, and if the Democratic vote in this blue-violet state is spread too widely the two Republicans could be those top two in the November election. But Steyer is currently one of the top two Democratic candidates. In 2016, I said voting is a chess move, not a valentine. I believe that Steyer is the right chess move for California voters. If he wins, we might be able to checkmate the fossil fuel industry at last and improve the life of so many Californians treated like pawns. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_Ritual⠀⇛ Trump returned to the White House briefing room within the hour. He said, of the long list of figures who have been targeted in attempts on their lives, that they’re the big names, and I hate to say I’m honored by that, but I’ve done a lot. He used the moment to advocate for the construction of his new ballroom, which he said in a Truth Social post would never have happened in had it been built already. He has not, at the time of this writing, expressed any concern for the populations his administration has spent the past year designating as enemies of the state. He has not expressed any reflection on the relationship between the rhetoric he has been producing for ten years — vermin, enemy within, the dehumanization of his political opponents as a campaign strategy — and the fact that an American citizen, with apparently sufficient grievance against his administration, walked up to a security checkpoint with three weapons and a manifesto. # ⚓ Michael Green ☛ So_tired⠀⇛ It was a heck of a week. The old faithful Transports index blew up. An index in existence since 1896 did something truly unprecedented — it completely diverged from the broader market. If you bought the actual Transport index (price-weighted) versus the IYT ETF, you made an extra 20%: [...] # ⚓ Ken Klippenstein ☛ Assassin_Wasn’t_on_FBI’s_Radar,_Sources Say⠀⇛ Cole Allen was never flagged by the FBI’s sprawling domestic counterterrorism apparatus, sources including a senior FBI official tell me.

Since the beginning of the full- scale invasion of Ukraine, the number of people imprisoned on political or anti-war charges who have died behind bars has reached dozens. # ⚓ The Barents Observer ☛ Nuclear_physicist_Dmitry_Bogmut_gets 7_years_in_prison_for_“fakes”_about_the_Russian_army⠀⇛ Journalists report that pro-government media outlets have exerted pressure on his supporters. In July, the state news agency TASS published the surnames and initials of St Petersburg residents who attended court hearings in his case, citing a source who described them as “pro-Ukrainian activists”. o § Civil Rights / Policing / Accessibility⠀➾ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ 2026-04-17_[Older]_How_to_be_a_Dissident… or_Not⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-15_[Older]_Women's_workwear:_When proper_fit_becomes_a_safety_issue⠀⇛ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ 2026-04-18_[Older]_YouTuber Faces_Jail_Time_After_Attempting_Contact_With_North_Sentinel Tribe_and_Offering_a_Diet_Coke⠀⇛ # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ What’s_ethical_for_undercover_operatives? Anti-hate_group_entered_gray_zones.⠀⇛ Since at least the 1960s, paid informants have been used not just by local and federal law enforcement but also by nonprofits across the political spectrum. These groups, including the SPLC, a well- known civil rights advocacy group, use such informants to build civil cases against extremist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan. o § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Google_Uses_Cox_Ruling_to_Kill_Last Copyright_Claim_in_Textbook_Piracy_Lawsuit⠀⇛ Google is trying to put an end to the copyright liability claim in its textbook piracy battle with several academic publishers. In a motion for partial judgment filed in a New York federal court, Google argues that the recent Supreme Court ruling in Cox v. Sony has effectively killed the copyright liability arguments. That is, unless the publishers can prove Google specifically "induced" infringement or built a service "tailored" exclusively for piracy. =============================================================================== Image source: The_Porto_Pavone_on_the_island_of_Nisida =============================================================================== * Gemini_Links_27/04/2026:_Gopher_Catch-up,_Year_of_Contentment,_and_Path to_Freedom * SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_59_Out_of_200:_Mentioning_the_Fact_Alex_Graveley Arrested_and_Charged_for_Strangulation_in_Texas_is_"Reckless"_and "Malicious",_According_to_His_'Hired_Guns'_in_London ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 4195 ➮ Generation completed at 02:49, i.e. 7 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
