Money gets plundered, embezzled, misused, and funneled towards bribes. All of us who value the integrity of European politics are deeply concerned. What does this have to do with this series? We'll explain this in the coming few days. Why not sooner? Because there are some 'breaking' developments. In Europe, there are very obvious culprits and they've even hijacked the patent tribunals (their staff serving as judges). First, following Blackberry's_transformation_or_transition_to_patent_trolling we see the Malikie_HEVC_patent_challenged. We took note of this in Daily Links some days ago: On May 2, 2025, Unified filed an ex parte reexamination proceeding against U.S._Patent_10,778,989, another patent owned by Malikie Innovations Limited, an NPE and entity of Key_Patent_Innovations Limited. The ‘989 patent, formerly assigned to Blackberry_Ltd., relates to a rolling intra prediction video codec method based on the H.264/AVC/HEVC standards. In case it's not obvious, "NPE" means patent troll and it is fronting for a company (because it's harder to sue trolls; they acquire a sort of immunity by indirection). "One of the biggest reasons that they are trying to force MPEG-4 AVC off the web now is that the patents are expiring," Ryan wrote this morning in IRC. "Three more AVC patents issued in the US expire this month alone." They try to get more fools to pay "protection money" (license, pay "royalties"). "Back when MPEG4 was just starting and Ogg was a thing," a reader has since then recalled, "I debated with some Nokia developers. They could not see anything except MPEG4 and it was basically impossible to get minds around a patent-free standard as that would mean *not* paying royalties. The idea of not paying royalties was so foreign to them that they could not understand it." "I wonder how the AV1 patents tie into the removal of Ogg Theora by Mozilla. There is likely more than just censorship by removing access to old, open standard videos." See the article cited above. Mozilla is part of the problem, not the solution, as it's outsourcing_to_GAFAM_(Microsoft), it is funded by GAFAM, and it barely resembles what it used to be. In the coming few parts we'll discuss Nokia, Microsoft, IBM, and some of the other more prominent culprits. They also use patent trolls as proxies in Europe. Later on we plan to discuss what this means to GNU and the FSF (which is why we talked about Ogg being "deprecated" in more recent months, citing libreplanet- discuss exchanges). █ * Gemini_Links_10/05/2026:_Inkscape,_Guix,_and_Alhena_5.5.8 * next ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 160 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/05/10/IRC_Proceedings_Saturday_May_09_2026.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/05/10/IRC_Proceedings_Saturday_May_09_2026.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IRC Proceedings: Saturday, May 09, 2026⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 10, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Tile Of Faience⦈ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GN 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_Gedit⦈_ #techrights_log #boycottnovell_log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GN 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_Gedit⦈_ #boycottnovell-social_log #techbytes_log =============================================================================== The corresponding text-only bulletins for_Tux_Machines and for_Techrights contain all the text.

200: Microsoft's Graveley and Garrett Signed Documents That Hold Them Accountable to Truth and Liable for Lies⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 10, 2026, updated May 10, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇If_you_lie_down_with_dogs,_you_get_up_with_fleas⦈_ The previous_part showed some more blatant examples of 'copypasta'; notice this was done for two connected men by the same barrister instructed by the exact same lawyer; they can't_name_their_clients_right, nor_can_they_name_my_wife correctly (she cross-examined them about it in the High Court) This is them signing a statement by which they recognise that they face a real and potent risk by advancing deeply flawed (and interconnected) lawsuits: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇I believe that the facts stated in these Particulars of Claim are true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in its truth.⦈ In 2021 I began_receiving_SLAPPs shortly after I had exposed Microsoft scandals that likely resulted in the expulsion of Microsoft GitHub's CEO. His friend, whom I exposed (he was allegedly his "best friend"), was arrested around the same week, then I was repeatedly threatened by lawyers over some worthless "tweets" - threatened on behalf of the_person_who_had_harassed,_stalked_and defamed_me_since_2012 (after this site kept exposing his employer's sinister collaboration with Microsoft - a collaboration in which he personally participated). Over time it would turn out that he also had various collaborations with Microsoft staff - he admitted this in Court and even after the trial. His collaborations involved booze (alcohol) as well. Such collaborations are unsavoury and apparently unprofessional, too. At the moment we_have_legal_representation (first time since January 2025 when a judge ordered Garrett to put in his Defence because we sued him [1, 2]). Also of note are the following observable facts that are backed by hard, concrete evidence. 1. Garrett's lawyers may have engaged in and further facilitated_contempt_of court 2. Graveley's lawyers may have engaged in and further facilitated_contempt of_court 3. Garrett may have lied to the Court (possible perjury) over the source of funding for his lawsuit 4. Garrett lied about his lawsuit being connected to Graveley's 5. Graveley lied about his lawsuit being connected to Garrett's (Garrett was forced_to_admit_this_at_risk_of_perjury after he had sworn on the Bible and after being evasive to no avail) 6. The Garrett and Graveley cases are just a giant copy-paste (will be reported to BSB in due course), transcripts show they were also coordinated in tandem; Court staff has apparently already decided to treat these as conjoined, based on updates since 2025; to make matters worse, a few weeks ago Brett Wilson LLP foolishly sent a message to the Court only reaffirming this further - they are doing a "tag-team" with those two people and less than 2 days before a Garrett Hearing they played the Graveley pawn once again, only to receive the cold shoulder from the Court (in cross-examination they admitted they had lost track of who's who and made embarrassing errors). 7. Various_filings_contain_false_statements (which their authors, including Garrett, know to be false) 8. The lawyers of Garrett and Graveley breached_rules to game the system and "get ahead" 9. Someone connected to the law firm of Garrett and Graveley (if not Garrett or Graveley themselves; they need to decide who) sent threats from burner accounts. Those were deemed a "threat to kill" by GMP (Greater Manchester Police) and are still actively investigated. 10. Garrett decided to repeatedly dox_relatives_of_mine because he wasn't happy with the outcome. 11. If that's not bad enough, at almost the exact same time I got added_to_a hitlist (potential violent harm) and it seems highly plausible that a friend of Garrett did this (if not Garrett himself) 12. None of the above is funny, but Garrett continues to use foul language in public, set aside violent_rhetoric To be clear, my wife and are law-abiding citizens, carrying out essential functions in society, not chasing money (wealth does not matter to us, we are motivated by altruism). We've already followed orders, we have proof to show this, yet this truly_horrible Garrett keeps sending us all_sorts_of_threats and much of the above serves to show that he himself was probably in contempt of court for several_years. Prior to this he was trying to crash our IRC bots like some childish Internet troll who pretends_to_be_"hacker" or impersonating other people in IRC like impersonation is a "joke". It's not funny at all. We shall find out who_has_the_last_laugh. █ Previously: 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_1_Out_of_200:_Claim_No._KB-2024-001270_in 03-03 a_Nutshell 2026-

European Patent Office (EPO) Experiments With New Methods for Crushing Industrial Actions⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 10, 2026 Open letter to VP1 and the COO 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇EPO Vice-President Steve Rowan who is responsible for the 'Patent Granting Process'.⦈ Instead of cracking down on corruption and cocaine_at_the_EPO, the EPO's management shelters_the_corrupt_and_the_drug_addicts while cracking down on those who insist on lawfulness. What does this tell us about the status quo at the European Patent Office, Europe's_second-largest_institution? On May_first_we_showed_a_letter_Sent_to_the_Chair_and_Heads_of_Delegation_of the_Administrative_Council_of_the_European_Patent_Organisation_regarding industrial_actions. Days later (at the start of May) there was an update, with an end-of-April letter from the Central Staff Committee regarding efforts to crush the actions. In the words of the staff representatives: European Patent Office 80298 Munich Germany Central Staff Committee Comité central du personnel Zentraler Personalausschuss centralSTCOM@epo.org Reference: sc26031cl Date: 29/04/2026 European Patent Office | 80298 MUNICH | GERMANY To: Mr Steve Rowan (Vice-President of DG1) and Mr Angel Aledo Lopez (Chief Operating Officer) By_email: To: vp1@epo.org,_coo@epo.org § OPEN LETTER⠀➾ ⚓ Oral instructions being given to examiners to ignore priorities and ranking, and treat grantable files ASAP⠀⇛ Dear Mr Rowan, Dear Mr Aledo Lopez, The Central Staff Committee has received multiple consistent reports from colleagues in the main part from Directorate 1218, but also some cases from other Directorates, that instructions have been given to deviate from the established file ranking and file priorities and to immediately treat files that have a positive opinion, and thus are more likely to lead to grants. To this end, specific file numbers have been communicated to staff, imposing a “cherry picking” of grantable files on examiners. According to these reports, such instructions are often only delivered orally, leaving staff in a situation of uncertainty since there is no written trace of the instruction to deviate from the usual practice, in some cases violating the rights of applicants by treating the files before certain deadlines have passed. In addition, colleagues indicate that they are threatened that should they not comply, the files will be reassigned to other examiners, resulting in the loss of recognition for work already performed. In this context, it should be noted that in cases of reassignment of divisions, the Boards of Appeal recently decided that there was a substantial procedural violation (T 758/23 and T 759/23, see OP minutes). This practice raises serious concerns regarding fairness, integrity, and the proper functioning of the Office. The ranking of files and priorities are the official mechanism guiding the order of treatment of applications. Any deviation from this framework, ===================================================================== particularly when applied selectively and without transparency, constitutes a form of manipulation of production output. These actions are further undermining the trust of staff. These reported practices have arisen in the context of ongoing industrial actions, during which a reduction in grants has been observed. Attempting to counteract this through informal instructions and pressure on staff, rather than addressing the underlying causes through meaningful dialogue, is deeply concerning. In particular, the timing of such reported measures, shortly before the upcoming Budget and Finance Committee, raises serious questions as to whether efforts are being made to influence the reported number of grants presented to the delegates. In this context, we request your immediate clarification on the following points: • Are such instructions to deviate from file ranking supported by you? • On what legal and operational basis can such deviations and associated threats be justified? • What measures are in place to prevent coercion and ensure equal treatment of staff? Given the seriousness of these actions, including the reported use of threats and the risk of manipulation of production figures, we expect a clear and timely response. Sincerely yours, Derek Kelly Chairman of the Central Staff Committee "In this open letter to VP1 and the COO," the staff representatives told staff, "the CSC asks for their immediate clarification." As far as we know, none has been provided so far. █ * The_Corrupt_Lecture_the_Non-Corrupt_-_Part_XVIII_-_"The_European_Patent Office_(EPO)_has_a_zero-tolerance_policy_for_fraud"_(except_when_managers do_it) * Gemini_Links_10/05/2026:_Inkscape,_Guix,_and_Alhena_5.5.8 ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⠄⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠋⠉⠉⣿⣿⣿⠉⢋⡉⠻⠋⠙⢻⣿⡿⠛⠛⢿⣿⡿⠕⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢟⣩⣦⣴⣦⣤⣀⢰⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⠀⣾⣷⠀⣿⠀⣶⣶⡀⢿⠁⣴⣦⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣋⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⠀⣇⠠⣤⣀⣀⣄⠀⣿⣿⠆⢸⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢋⠿⠟⠛⠛⠻⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢀⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⠀⣿⡄⠛⠛⢋⣿⡀⠻⠟⠀⢸⠀⣸⡀⠑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢱⠃⠀⠀⣻⣓⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣿⣦⣿⣷⣤⣤⡴⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⣀⡈⠁⣤⡘⣿⣿⣿⠿⣛⣛⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿⢿⡿⣞⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠈⣿⣧⡦⣿⡇⣿⣿⢡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣳⣾⣶⣹⣿⢫⣶⣿⣿⠇⣴⣶⡄⢻⡇⢸⣿⡇⢸⡇⠈⣠⡿⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⢻⣴⣶⣾⣷⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣉⣉⣁⣸⡇⢸⣿⡇⢸⡇⢸⣿⡇⢸⣿⣷⠀⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠋⢰⣤⣹⣿⣿⣧⢿⣿⣷⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⡽⢿⡿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠻⠿⠛⣻⣇⠸⠿⠃⣼⡇⢸⣿⣇⠘⣿⠏⢀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡏⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣭⠈⢹⣇⠈⠙⠻⠿⣿⢿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣶⣶⣾⣿⣧⣼⣿⣿⣦⣤⣴⣿⡇⠀⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡇⠀⢸⣿⠹⠇⠀⠀⠀⣄⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⢿⣿⣿⡇⠈⢿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⢰⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣁⣠⣈⣩⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠞⣠⣶⣫⠵⣂⢸⣿⣿⣇⠀⠸⡿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠈⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢽⡟⣭⣿⣝⢫⣽⢯⡟⣝⣿⣿⣻⣻⣛⠏⡃⣛⡛⢛⣿⢘⠻⡛⠞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣺⣿⣿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⠗⢋⣁⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣮⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣵⣿⣯⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣣⣿⣿⣝⣵⣒⣄⣇⣗⣂⣸⣿⣸⣀⡒⡀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠉⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣷⣯⣻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣯⣻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢻⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡜⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣟⣿⠒⠀⠐⢶⠀⣤⣿⠽⠿⢿⣯⣿⣟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣥⣼⣭⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⢟⣛⢿⣿⢟⣻⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⡄⠀⢀⡀⠤⠒⠈⠡⣿⣿⡟⠀⠈⠸⢸⡇⠹⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣹⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣻⢻⡿⣹⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠙⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣾⣿⣵⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1290 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/05/10/The_Corrupt_Lecture_the_Non_Corrupt_Part_XVIII_The_European_Pat.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/05/10/The_Corrupt_Lecture_the_Non_Corrupt_Part_XVIII_The_European_Pat.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The Corrupt Lecture the Non-Corrupt - Part XVIII - "The European Patent Office (EPO) has a zero-tolerance policy for fraud" (except when managers do it)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 10, 2026 2019: EPO_May_be_Financially_Defrauding_the_Public_and_Its_Employees 2025: An_Old_Story_of_Fraud_at_the_EPO_in_the_Netherlands_(and_How_the_Dutch Government_Facilitated_It) | Governments_That_Financially_Benefit_(Profit)_From the_EPO_Have_a_Long_History_of_Covering_Up_Fraud_and_Corruption_at_the_EPO Late in 2025: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Ensuring full transparency in finances⦈ The European Patent Office (EPO) is "good with money" if the purpose is: * to break the law just about enough to grant_more_(illegal)_patents_for extra_income * to make managers rich and everyone else poorer The guidebook of the EPO says fraud is not to be tolerated, but who enforces or revisits such "Red Lines"?

I would open a tsipouradiko, a place that serves tsipouro (among other drinks) and small plates. Tsipouro is a drink made from grapes that contains about 40% alcohol and is best enjoyed with some food on the side. Some classic plates would be marinaded anchovies, feta grilled with tomato, fava, or pork bites with peppers. Most plates will likely have some twists compared to their traditional versions because experimenting is where the fun is at. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Inkscape_can_copy_&_paste_styles⠀⇛ This functionality already exists in Inkscape. Copy the object with the style you want to reuse, then select the target and press Ctrl + Shift + V. (That's the shortcut for the menu option Edit / Paste... / Style.) # ⚓ a_keyd_service_in_Guix⠀⇛ It took a really long time to figure this out, but I can finally use keyd in Guix. I started out with a manually created keyd.conf file and I manually invoked keyd with sudo so I could get my default bindings. This also helped to verify some of the pieces worked before I started. # ⚓ Kelvin_versioning⠀⇛ This will be a relatively short post which nearly got included as part of last weekend's "Lua as a practical "soft-bedrock" language", but at the last minute I felt like I was cramming too much in. I spoke in that post about software "cooling off", "solidifying" and "freezing". I feel like the visual timeline of Lua releases really invites this thermodynamic analogy, with the interval between consecutive releases quickly getting longer and longer. It reminds me right away of how heat energy flows between bodies in contact at a rate proportional to the difference in their temperature, so it starts off quick but then slows down, the hotter body exponentially cooling to equilibrium. Perusing Devine Lu Linvega's XXIIVV wiki a few years ago, I stumbled upon an idea which takes this analogy right to its logical conclusion: "Kelvin versioning". The idea originates with the Urbit project which is...some kind of weird blockchain-based P2P *something*, with apparent links to various politically unsavoury entities. The concept of Kelvin versioning lifts cleanly right out of that context, thankfully, although the extent to which it genuinely applies anywhere else is perhaps quite limited. It's more of an ideological than a practical tool, but I like it never the less. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Alhena_5.5.8⠀⇛ Restore Tabs At Launch is significantly faster than previous versions. The feature should probably be called Restore State At Launch because it also remembers window sizes and positions. (To only save window state but not content, use Settings->Commands to set pagecache=0). The other big feature is proper detection of the emoji/symbol variation selector. This is especially important for expected appearance and alignment in games and art expecting a specific variation. A few examples being a chess piece or playing card suite. # ⚓ The_wonders_of_Wander⠀⇛ So I've recreated a lisp desktop to browse gemini and listen to internet radio. Still I managed to also build the simplest of web browsers too because I feel like there is just so much more content on the web still. The problem is finding it of course, and that's especially hard given a web browser that doesn't even do POST and definitely knows nothing of JS and CSS. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

For those not familiar with UK politics, Reform pursues an anti-immigration, isolationist agenda, and continually has to deflect charges of racism. That's not to say that the party's official policy is racist; in fact, its leadership is quick to deny this. It's true, in principle, that being opposed to immigration is not the same as being opposed to people of colour as individuals, and the party has often acted to distance itself from activists who are overtly racist. Still, the fact that Reform has so often to say "We're _not_ racists -- honestly!" is cause for concern. Despite its many faults, this isn't a thing the Liberal Democrat party, to take one example, ever has to say. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Is_darkmode_a_fad?_⬛⠀⇛ I agree, and I'm puzzled why it's so popular. The first GUI I used was Win 3.0 at the beginning of the 90s, and colour scheme options included light- on-dark. No one used that because it was awful. The option was available in every subsequent GUI, and everyone carried on ignoring it. Maybe about ten years ago it began to appear occasionally among devs. It seemed to me like a geek badge, not a real usability thing, and I ignored it. Now it's the norm for devs, and continues to be ignored by everyone else. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ feedback⠀⇛ just a small post, i'm trying to find ways to make it easier to reply to my posts. i've included my misfin email address and my profile on bubble in all my future posts (including this one) at the end. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

I don't need to publish my work on different pages, and I don't need to try to hide myself. Sure, there are people who are convinced that a dedicated photography page is (even for me) more professional, and that putting everything together would make me look more like an "amateur." And I don't argue against that. Perhaps they're right. Perhaps not. In the end, for my personal online presence, I don't care. I do not intend to go professional in any of these areas (music composition or photography, that is), and if I would, I would need to re-evaluate how I present my work anyway. Combining all my output into a single portal would not only reduce the time required to create and run these pages but would also allow me to present myself completely, as I am, without having to think much about where a certain post fits best. o ⚓ Johnny Decimal ☛ A_new_website,_and_a_focus_on_small_business⠀⇛ There’s so much overhead when you run a business, and when you’re small, you have to do it all yourself. With last year’s Small Business System (SBS) we hoped to give you a space to put everything: a hundred less decisions to make. Our dream was always to expand to become your ‘operations layer’, to provide you ops manuals and guidance and support. So that’s what we’ll be doing from now. o ⚓ But she's a girl... ☛ Laws_of_sewing⠀⇛ This is actually quite nice as it forces me to take my time and pay attention to the details. In the process, I have noticed some seemingly rigid ‘Laws of Sewing’ over a few projects. o ⚓ Small Cypress ☛ buying_nothing⠀⇛ I am doing a full month of not buying anything I don't actually need. I sat down and figured out a list of exceptions, because I need to make sure I don't find a good excuse to break my rules. Once I break my own rules, I can be completely deflated. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ J B Crawford ☛ extremely_low_frequencies⠀⇛ We probably all realize, as did the Navy, that pushing to yet lower frequencies and longer wavelengths would produce better penetration of the seawater, at the cost of basically every other property becoming worse: larger antennas, less efficient transmitters and receivers, narrower bandwidths. The possibility of going even further—from Very Low Frequency to Extremely* Low Frequency—was just a solution in wait of a problem. The military had a lot of those, and the Cold War was one huge problem. # ⚓ Overpopulation ☛ The_role_of_mortality_in_fertility transition_studies⠀⇛ These differences become even more pronounced at regional levels. In Middle Africa, TFR data suggest that fertility peaked in 1987 and has since declined, while 2SNRR measurements indicate that fertility has yet to decline at all in this region. Similar discrepancies appear across Southern Asia and parts of Northern and Eastern Africa, where 2SNRR-based fertility transitions occur later, peak at lower levels, and decline more gradually than TFR-based assessments suggest. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Project Censored ☛ 2026-04-30_[Older]_Innovative Apprenticeships_Address_Shortages_in_Childcare_and_Early_Ed⠀⇛ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Bosses_Horrified_as_"AI_Native"_College Graduates_Hit_the_Workplace⠀⇛ And though universities have many purposes beyond simply preparing students for the workplace, that is one function that they do undoubtedly serve. The results could be rocky: as Cal State Chico ethics professor Troy Jollimore told the New Yorker in 2025, “massive numbers of students are going to emerge from university with degrees, and into the workforce, who are essentially illiterate.” # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Remembering_The_BBC_Computer_Literacy_Project⠀⇛ The Computer Literacy Project was run by the nation’s broadcaster and included a raft of TV programming about computers, as well as the commissioning of a machine specifically for the project. You know this machine as the Acorn BBC Micro, and aside from eventually providing the genesis of what would become ARM, it remains one of the most high-spec 8-bit machines in terms of built-in hardware. We hear from the luminaries of Acorn about the development of this machine, and then the film moves into some of the wider cultural effects. # ⚓ Lucidity ☛ The_Worlds_Left_To_Conquer⠀⇛ So when I kicked off the company, some traitorous part of me was hoping that it would be difficult, as horrible as that would be for me personally. If it was hard, yes, perhaps I’d have to go back to some miserable office and be beset on all sides by smiling imbeciles talking about innovation, but it would make sense. It simply can’t be that easy to be free of those structures. Surely there’s a reason for it that isn’t simply “Wow, we’re systematically producing people that are terrible at their jobs and they can’t even see it.” Unfortunately, that really is most of the explanation. # ⚓ Ben Werdmuller ☛ Canvas_is_open_source,_but_its_cloud services_ransomware_attack_really_hurts⠀⇛ It’s also not clear that self-hosted infrastructure would be more resilient: a university could be subject to a ransomware attack with very little recourse. At the same time, the centralized nature of Canvas’s core offering means every institution that uses it, including over half of all US higher education institutions, were in a hard place right in the middle of final exam season. Access is coming back, but at the time of writing, it hasn’t been fully restored. It’s a hard lesson about the dangers of putting everything in the cloud. # ⚓ Neil Selwyn ☛ Is_Ed-Tech_falling_out_of_favour?⠀⇛ This disquiet should not come as a surprise for anyone with even passing familiarity with education in the 2020s. School systems in many parts of the world have become dominated by a certain class of ed-tech that is impersonal, inflexible and uninspiring. Students spend increasing amounts of time on their devices locked into tutoring software, slide-decks and Google Docs. Communication takes place through email and message apps, while guidance and support is outsourced to chatbots and pedagogical agents. We have reached the point where the day-to-day running of schools is funnelled through learning management systems and corporate mega-platforms such as Google Classroom, with progress displayed through dashboards and analytics systems, more akin to monitoring hospital patients than nurturing young people’s development. In comparison to the hype about ‘virtual learning communities’ and ‘cyberschools’ during the 1990s and 2000s, the ed- tech dream of the 2020s seems to have soured. This is not the technological liberation and digital creativity that we were promised! o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-29_[Older]_Iran_war_squeezes India's_pharma_supply_chain⠀⇛ # ⚓ India Times ☛ AI_study_finds_hidden_mathematical_laws shaping_cuisines_across_cultures⠀⇛ The study also identified what it called a "complexity trade-off". Simpler recipes with fewer ingredients often rely on distinctive or rare ingredients to create flavour, while longer, more elaborate dishes tend to depend on common staples to avoid becoming overwhelmingly complex. Perhaps most intriguingly, the nutritional composition of dishes, including protein, fats and carbohydrates, was also found to follow predictable mathematical distributions across cuisines worldwide. # ⚓ Paul Krugman ☛ Unlocked_Repost:_Curing_U.S._Health_Care, Part_I⠀⇛ Impressive as the raw numbers are, they don’t tell the whole story. Before the ACA, even upper-middle- class Americans often found it impossible to get health insurance if they had pre-existing medical conditions. Many Americans were trapped in jobs they wanted to leave but couldn’t for fear of losing their employment-based coverage. Meanwhile, dire predictions from the usual suspects about runaway costs proved wrong. In fact, overall U.S. medical spending has grown much more slowly since the ACA was enacted than before. # ⚓ [Old] Open Source Pledge ☛ Burnout_in_Open_Source:_A Structural_Problem_We_Can_Fix_Together⠀⇛ It carries on like this for months. The project you made for you, once a source of joy, is now a source of stress and anxiety. You feel profoundly unseen. Reluctantly, you begin to wonder: is it time to give up on the dream? I’m a psychologist, and I’ve been compiling a report on the problem of burnout in Open Source Software (OSS). o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Apple_reportedly_strikes_deal_for_Intel_to make_some_of_its_chips_—_two_tech_giants_reached_a preliminary_agreement_for_Intel_to_make_processors_for Cupertino⠀⇛ It’s currently unclear which chips the U.S. semiconductor company will be making for the largest consumer electronics firm in the world, but it previously made the x86 processors used in Macs and MacBooks from 2006 to 2023. Intel also had the chance to build the A-series chips that Apple used for the iPhone and iPad, but it fumbled the opportunity — with Tim Cook complaining to TSMC founder Morris Chang, “Intel just does not know how to be a foundry.” # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Cloudflare_cuts_20%_of_its_jobs_due_to_AI, and_its_stock_takes_a_19%_spill_—_1,100_jobs_disappearing_as company_increased_usage_of_AI_sixfold_over_past_months⠀⇛ Jobs cuts related to increased AI usage have practically become background noise at this point, but there's still the occasional outlier that merits inspection. In this case, Cloudflare announced both its quarterly results and the fact that it's cutting 20% of its workforce over this year — to the tune of 1,100 heads. # ⚓ The Newsprint ☛ Bauhaus_Clock_for_iPhone_and_iPad⠀⇛ Bauhaus Clock for iPhone and iPad is a design- first, utility-second sort of app. It’s simple, doing nothing more than tell the time in one or two locations. But how it tells the time — with its gasp-worthy combination of visual, haptics, and audio features — make it one of those delightful apps you’ll love to have on your device. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Apple,_Intel_have_reached_preliminary_chip- making_deal:_Report⠀⇛ The companies were engaged in intensive talks for more than a year and they hammered out a formal deal in recent months, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ The_Canvas_Panic_on_Campus⠀⇛ That’s when I learned about the outage. Canvas, an online service used by as many as 40 percent of North American colleges, among them Washington University in St. Louis, where I teach, had gone down globally—victim to a ransomware attack. Just like ride-share apps replaced the physical act of hailing a cab, “courseware” such as Canvas has replaced more analog systems at almost every college and university, which now use the tool to run classrooms, manage assignments, and handle grading. When Canvas goes down, college classes cease to operate. # ⚓ Michigan Advance ☛ Cyberattack_on_Canvas_hitting_Michigan schools_amid_exam_season⠀⇛ The outage also hit Eastern Michigan University and Wayne State University. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Microsoft_CTO_confesses_that_30-year-old code_from_the_mid-90s_still_forms_the_bedrock_of_Windows_11_— ancient_Win32_API_still_the_backbone,_but_CTO_says_it's_'more relevant_than_ever_in_2026'⠀⇛ Remember, the firm is currently in the midst of a major transformation, targeting enthusiast hot button areas like Windows performance, overhead, and reliability. This drastic pivot was cautiously welcomed in contrast to Microsoft being widely slammed for boasting about Windows “evolving into an agentic OS” last November. Currently, Microsoft seems to be flailing around, trying to stop folks straying to pastures greener like Mac and Linux. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Schools_reach_out_to_Canvas_[crackers]_as breach_hits_US_classrooms⠀⇛ ShinyHunters, a [cracking] group with a string of data theft and extortion campaigns targeting major global companies, said in a May 3 post on its website that it had stolen roughly 6.65 terabytes of Canvas data related to nearly 9,000 schools worldwide that included student names, email addresses and private messages between ‌students, teachers, and other ⁠staff. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Canvas_[Cracked]_By ShinyHunters:_Are_Your_Private_Messages_Now_Exposed_In_The Dark_Web?⠀⇛ Shortly after Instructure confirmed the breach, ShinyHunters posted a 'pay or leak' ultimatum with a deadline set on 6 May, according to Inside Higher Ed. The group claimed to have exfiltrated 3.65 terabytes of data including names, email addresses, student ID numbers, and user messages from Canvas LMS. # ⚓ Dark Reading ☛ ShinyHunters_Claims_Second_Attack_Against Instructure⠀⇛ In a May 8 statement to Dark Reading, Instructure acknowledged what students like Pomazanov were experiencing. It reported that on May 7, it took Canvas offline, again, to contain the ongoing incident. "We have confirmed that the unauthorized actor exploited an issue related to our Free-For- Teacher accounts," a company spokesperson wrote, without detailing the exact nature of the vulnerability. "As a result, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily shut down our Free-For-Teacher accounts. This gives us the confidence to restore access to Canvas, which is now fully back online and available for use.” # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ ShinyHunters_claims_nearly_9,000_schools affected_by_Canvas_data_breach⠀⇛ After announcing on May 1 that it had exfiltrated several terabytes of data containing the personal information of 275 million users, it announced a deadline of Thursday before “everything is leaked and there will be no chance at a negociation for anyone. Instructure has not even bothered speaking to us to understand the situation or to even negociate with us to prevent the release of this data. Our demand was not even as high as you might think it is.” # § So-Called 'Artificial Intelligence' ('AI') / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ Nick_Bostrom_Has_a_Plan_for_Humanity’s_‘Big Retirement’⠀⇛ Philosopher Nick Bostrom recently posted a paper, where he postulated that a small chance of AI annihilating all humans might be worth the risk, because advanced AI might relieve humanity of “its universal death sentence.” That upbeat gamble is quite a leap from his previous dark musings on AI, which made him a doomer godfather. His 2014 book Superintelligence was an early examination of AI’s existential risk. One memorable thought experiment: An AI tasked with making paper clips winds up destroying humanity because all those resource-needy people are an impediment to paper clip production. His more recent book, Deep Utopia, reflects a shift in his focus. Bostrom, who leads Oxford’s Future of Humanity Institute, dwells on the “solved world” that comes if we get AI right. # ⚓ Android Police ☛ I_used_these_tools_to_block_AI_slop on_Spotify,_and_I_should_have_done_it_sooner⠀⇛ Spotify and other music streaming platforms are slowly filling up with AI slop. Reluctant to take a stance against the rising tide of soulless music, Spotify has allowed people to publish AI-generated music on its platform while posing as real musicians. # ⚓ Rui Carmo ☛ The_Local_AI_Moat⠀⇛ The societal impact of the entire thing in the always hype-driven geek community is, of course, fascinating (especially since a very small number of people have a disproportionate amount of influence in this little echo chamber), and I sometimes feel like Jane Goodall observing packs of opinionated chimpanzees, but I digress. Personally, after spending the day mulling on this, I find the whole thing extremely depressing, for three reasons: [...] # ⚓ Martin Chang ☛ LLM_usage_policy_on_this_blog⠀⇛ Either way, this blog is my own, my thought and my opinion. I WILL NOT use LLMs to generate content for this blog. Beyond using them for typo correction and grammar checking. Otherwise I feel dishonest and defeates the purpose of writing. At the end of the day, I own my own thoughts and I am the only persion responsible for my own growth. # ⚓ Kyle Reddoch ☛ Claude’s_Chrome_Extension_Flaw_Shows Why_Agentic_Browsing_Needs_Real_Guardrails⠀⇛ Anthropic’s latest Chrome extension issue deserves more attention than a quick “vendor patched a bug” headline. As CyberScoop reported, researchers say Claude’s browser extension could be hijacked by another extension, including one with no special permissions. That is not a small bug. That is a warning shot. The bigger problem is not just Claude. The bigger problem is agentic AI inside the browser. # ⚓ Joost de Valk ☛ Vol._XV:_out_with_the_AI_slop⠀⇛ The driver for this redesign was simple. The old site had a system for generating an AI image for every blog post, with structured prompts that kept everything in the same visual style. At first I liked it. Over a few weeks, that flipped. It was AI slop, and I disliked seeing it on my own site every time I opened the homepage. I decided I didn’t want AI-generated images on my posts at all; the design and the typography should do that work instead. Once that landed, the rest piled on. I’ve been writing more, and longer. The old layout didn’t have a real table of contents on a post. The archive wasn’t easy to browse. If I was going to keep posting essays of two or three thousand words, I needed the plumbing for it. So: redesign. # ⚓ Akseli Lahtinen ☛ AInsecurity_in_software⠀⇛ If you truly believe in your product, you will spruce it up. Make it look nice. For me, generated "AI" icons and codebase just smells of insecurity and not believing in your own product. # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ Hyperscalers_ate_my next_computer⠀⇛ I have been idly building the specs my next desktop PC – a Linux gaming and AI rig – for the better part of the past year. It is starting to feel like a doomed exercise. The plan was modest enough: enough memory to run a decent open-weight large language model locally – up to 128GB – a current-generation CPU with a respectable thread count and a GPU that wouldn’t embarrass itself when asked to load a 70 billion-parameter model into VRAM. There’s just one problem. Building a rig like that today can cost as much as a second-hand car. The reason, in a phrase, is that hyperscalers have eaten the consumer hardware market alive. # ⚓ [Repeat] Tom's Hardware ☛ Internet_archival_sites struggling_to_preserve_the_internet_because_of skyrocketing_hard_drive_prices_due_to_the_AI_boom_— Wayback_Machine_and_Wikimedia_punished_by_stratospheric storage_pricing_and_stricter_anti-scraping_measures blocking_the_wrong_bots⠀⇛ The 28-30TB hard drives ideal for the job are simply out of stock or available at a grossly inflated price. Fortunately, Internet Archive has active donors and a passionate community of bit-rot fighters that help alleviate some of these concerns, but only by finding workarounds. The organization is also trying to source drives from manufacturers, but they're likely busy with backorders instead. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ GPT-5.5_may_burn_fewer_tokens,_but it_always_burns_more_cash⠀⇛ For 1 million tokens, GPT-5.5 is priced at $5 (input), $0.50 (cached input), and $30 (output). Its predecessor GPT-5.4 charges $2.50 (input), $0.25 (cached input), and $15 (output) per 1 million tokens. The AI biz claims that the cost increase is offset to some extent by token processing efficiency – delivering better results using fewer tokens. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Flaw_in_Claude’s_Chrome_extension allowed_‘any’_other_plugin_to_hijack_victims’_AI⠀⇛ “The flaw stems from an instruction in the extension’s code that allows any script running in the origin browser to communicate with Claude’s LLM, but does not verify who is running the script,” wrote LayerX senior researcher Aviad Gispan. “As a result, any extension can invoke a content script (which does not require any special permissions) and issue commands to the Claude extension.” # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2026-05-03_[Older]_Hundreds_of_youths_descend on_Vancouver's_Scientology_building_as_part_of speedrunning_trend⠀⇛ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ 2026-04-29_[Older] Scientology_Buildings_Reportedly_Removed_Door_Handles After_Viral_Speedrun_Stunts_Bring_Disruption_Inside⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-05-04_[Older]_How_child soldiers_in_Sudan_become_influencers_on_TikTok⠀⇛ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ 2026-05-04_[Older] 'Let's_Buy_Spirit'_Campaign_Raises_$23M_In_Pledges After_Viral_TikTok_Joke_—_Why_It_Won't_Work⠀⇛ # ⚓ NL Times ☛ Experts_warn_rising_‘manosphere’_influence on_boys_may_drive_violent,_sexual_offenses⠀⇛ According to staff members, the manosphere can encourage boys and young men to develop distrust toward female workers, making communication more difficult. The manosphere is an online space where men express anti-feminist views and promote macho behavior. Groups within it frequently blame feminists, or women in general, for a range of societal problems. Resentment toward women—and in some cases hatred and violence—is often encouraged. # ⚓ Eesti Rahvusringhääling ☛ Report:_Social_media_bans alone_won't_keep_kids_and_teens_safe_online⠀⇛ The report highlights the scale of youth online exposure. Nearly all Estonian children ages 9–16 use the internet [sic] daily, while OECD data shows half of all 15-year-olds spend more than 30 hours a week on digital devices, and primarily for entertainment purposes. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Man_Wearing_Smart_Glasses_Secretly_Records Woman,_Demands_Money_to_Delete_Video_From_His_Socials⠀⇛ “In the moment I just thought ‘OK this guy is just trying to talk to me, to chat me up,'” she said (the broadcaster didn’t reveal her real name, but identified her as Alice.) “I was hoping that he would leave me alone eventually but he did actually follow me.” Alice only realized what happened when a friend sent her the video, which had racked up about 40,000 views. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ Flipping_Off_Phones⠀⇛ On this week’s episode of Galaxy Brain, Charlie Warzel talks with his Atlantic colleague Kaitlyn Tiffany about what our phones are doing to us. Tiffany recently wrote about swapping her iPhone for a flip phone as part of a movement called “Month Offline.” Kaitlyn talks through her personal experience: the joys and inconveniences of a dumbphone and the difficulty of unplugging completely. Warzel and Tiffany talk about the growing smartphone backlash, legal cases against “big tech,” and how, even if many people are convinced that their phones are a problem, the science remains far from conclusive regarding direct harm. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ On_Free_Speech_and_"Woke"⠀⇛ The taboo regime is gone because we let it go. The renormalization is happening because we have not yet found the analytical apparatus to name it. The free-speech rhetoric is doing the work it is doing because we have not yet had the philosophical vocabulary to distinguish the principle from the instrument. This Dispatch is one piece of the work of building the apparatus. There will be more. # ⚓ Ava ☛ your_social_media_habits_sound_like_an_abusive relationship⠀⇛ As someone who has been off of these platforms for quite a while, some of the things people share with me sound extremely odd to me; weird rules and behaviors they feel the need to abide by or else!.... Whatever that may be. Some I even recognize from back when I used them, but now I have a completely different view of them as I am no longer embedded in a culture that normalizes them. # ⚓ RTL ☛ 'Perfect_timing':_European_minnows_bid_to challenge_social_media_giants⠀⇛ There is a familiar litany of criticisms levelled at the big players, including sorting users into "filter bubbles", unevenly-enforced moderation and addictive design. European would-be competitors see those as openings to vaunt their own virtues. # ⚓ [Repeat] Futurism ☛ Meta_Has_Entered_Its_Death Spiral⠀⇛ Since those salad days, its trajectory has never been quite the same. Sure, it’s maintained market share with a series of cynical acquisitions of would-be competitors like Instagram and WhatsApp, but Facebook’s feeds have been inexorably taken over by industrial-scale engagement bait and sleazy ads as users failed to stick around. By 2026, after a failed pivot to the Metaverse — oh yeah, it changed its name to Meta back in 2021 — scrolling Facebook feels like an infinite timeline of AI slop, ads, and lazy misinformation, none of which the company seems to have an iota of interest in cleaning up. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Meta_fights_Ofcom_over_how_many billions_count_as_billions⠀⇛ The law allows Ofcom to fine companies for up to 10 percent of their qualifying worldwide revenue, or £18 million, whichever is higher. For Meta, which brought in about $201 billion last year, that means the numbers stop sounding like regulatory penalties and start sounding like national infrastructure projects. o § Privatisation/Privateering⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ NHS_code_clampdown_draws_open_source backlash⠀⇛ On Monday, The Register reported that the management at the NHS told its tech leadership to wall off the organization's FOSS repositories due to concerns about new LLM bug-hunting tools finding security vulnerabilities. If you will pardon a Douglas Adams quotation, this has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. o § Security⠀➾ # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ NL Times ☛ 2026-04-28_[Older]_Dutch_banks_urge_Meta, TikTok_and_Google_to_fight_online_fraud_surge⠀⇛ # ⚓ Andrew Helwer ☛ Laptops_all_have_built-in_security tokens_these_days⠀⇛ Another drawback of security tokens is that if you lose one, its private key is gone for good. There’s no way to back it up! So when you buy a security token, you really commit to buying at least two security tokens unless you want to risk locking yourself out of your various accounts. There is one alternative: maybe the only thing the cryptocurrency industry has contributed to the wider world is a moderately user-friendly method of backing up & restoring private keys by converting them into human-readable word list (see BIP 39) that can be written down. Of course this has produced some very innovative phishing attacks to convince users to write down that list of words in the wrong place, but that’s the game you play if you allow private keys to leave a secure enclave. Still, if you’re really paranoid about losing all of your security tokens you can use BIP 39 word lists as a method of last resort for regaining access to your systems. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ UK_wants_fresh_fingerprints_on £300M_biometrics_platform⠀⇛ SCBP is part of the long-running Home Office Biometrics (HOB) program to bring together the government's collections of fingerprints, DNA profiles, and facial images. SCBP provides the core components of the Immigration and Asylum Biometrics System (IABS) used for passports, immigration and borders, and the corresponding Ident1 service used by law enforcement. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Trump's_FCC_Shatters Privacy_as_They_Demand_Your_Government_ID_Before Approving_Any_New_Phone_Number⠀⇛ Under the mandate proposed on 30 April, consumers seeking to secure a network connection would be required to present a government-issued ID alongside their legal name, physical address, and any existing phone numbers. While authorities maintain the framework targets negligent service providers, the resulting identity- verification regime would close off one of the final semi-anonymous communication tools readily available to the public. # ⚓ Kevin Liu ☛ Easy_improvements_to_personal_opsec⠀⇛ Threat model: A casual adversary who asks Grok-5 for “name, phone, and address of all people in [X reference group],” with the intent of causing disruption or harm. I don’t expect the strategies below to work against adversaries that are highly-competent (including but not limited to government actors) or specifically targeting you; it’s very possible they won’t even work against casual adversaries in the future. # ⚓ The Argument ☛ I_can_never_talk_to_an_AI_anonymously again⠀⇛ But soon, the entire debate over internet anonymity will be as anachronistic as an iPod Touch. That’s because Claude Opus 4.7 is here, and last week, I discovered it could identify me from text I had never published, text from when I was in high school, text from genres I have never publicly written in. And if it can identify me, soon, it will be able to identify many of you. # ⚓ Chris Morgan ☛ I’ve_banned_query_strings⠀⇛ So I’ve decided to try a blanket ban for this site: no unauthorised query strings. # ⚓ India Times ☛ US_nears_$400_million_settlement_with TikTok_on_child-privacy_violations:_ABC_News⠀⇛ The U.S. alleges that for years, millions of American children under age 13 have been using TikTok and that the site "has been collecting and retaining children's personal information." The government said TikTok violated the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, which requires services aimed at children to obtain parental consent to collect personal information from users under age 13. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Google's_DeepMind_to_train_AI_on player_actions_in_quarter-million-player_MMORPG_Eve Online_—_Google_bought_in_by_purchasing_a_minority stake_in_the_newly_independent_Fenris_Creations⠀⇛ Readers are likely more familiar with Eve Online being stewarded by CCP Games. Fenris Creations was recently formed when the developers sought to buy back the Eve Online game rights from Korean game-maker Pearl Abyss. The new Icelandic company paid $120M in cash and crypto to set up. While that may sound like a huge sum, Pearl Abyss spent more than double that amount to acquire the game maker back in 2018. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Minister_gives_Palantir's_NHS platform_a_clean_bill_of_health⠀⇛ The US spy-tech firm was awarded the contract to underpin the Federated Data Platform (FDP) after winning a succession of pandemic-era deals, worth a combined £60 million, without competition. # ⚓ The Record ☛ GM_to_pay_over_$12_million_in_California privacy_settlement_involving_driver_data⠀⇛ California authorities began investigating GM in 2023, a year before the New York Times reported that the car company and other auto manufacturers were selling consumers’ driving data to brokers who in turn sold it to insurers. The probe found evidence that from 2020 to 2024, GM peddled hundreds of thousands of consumers’ geolocations, driving behavior, names and contact information to Verisk and LexisNexis, earning about $20 million nationwide from the sales, the press release said. The consumer data sold was collected by GM’s OnStar feature, a service which is marketed as an emergency assistant and provider of directions, according to the press release. # § Confidentiality⠀➾ # ⚓ Panagiotis Vryonis ☛ shg,_the_SHell_Guard⠀⇛ While it is convenient to use your shell history as part of your long term memory, the downside is things that shouldn’t be there, end up there: A command you prepended with API_KEY=..., a quick and dirty curl --user "name:password", a PGPASSWORD=... psql, an ALTER USER USER() IDENTIFIED BY ..., and so on. And they are all probably saved in shell or app history file. This is not good, obviously. Credentials should not be saved in places where a malicious program can just read them, and they should not be preserved in backups. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ NL Times ☛ 2026-05-04_[Older]_Box_with_photos,_papers_of WWII_resistance_fighter_discovered_in_Royal_Library_depot⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-29_[Older]_Firetrucks_swarm Cologne_Cathedral_after_smell_of_smoke⠀⇛ # ⚓ Eesti Rahvusringhääling ☛ Riina_Solman:_Monuments_idolizing terror_belong_in_the_trash_heap_of_history⠀⇛ There is no justification whatsoever for preserving Soviet monuments in Estonia. Yet intelligent people still debate whether Soviet symbols hold some kind of value as part of preserving layers of cultural heritage. They do not. In the urban landscape, they serve only to fuel national discord and provoke new conflicts, writes Riina Solman. # ⚓ RFA ☛ Satellite_imagery_shows_Philippine_construction_on two_islands_in_disputed_Spratlys⠀⇛ The expansion of the runway at Thitu Island and the port at Nanshan Island, are intended to solidify Manila’s physical presence in the Spratlys in response to recent Chinese escalations in the Spratly archipelago, a scattering of hundreds of small islands, atolls and reefs claimed by many different countries, experts said. # ⚓ India Times ☛ ByteDance_targets_25%_rise_in_AI infrastructure_spending⠀⇛ ByteDance has significantly increased its AI infrastructure spending by 25% to 200 billion yuan ($29.4 billion) this year, driven by rising memory chip costs and an expanded AI focus.

In November, Senator Mark Kelly, Democrat of Arizona, a retired Navy captain, released a video with several other legislators reminding service members that they have a duty to disobey unlawful orders. “We know you are under enormous stress and pressure right now,” they said. “This administration is pitting our uniform military and intelligence community against American citizens.” # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ TikTok_algorithm_showed_a_pro-Republican bias_during_the_last_US_presidential_election⠀⇛ Researchers at New York University Abu Dhabi, UAE, created 323 dummy (bot) accounts across the states of New York, Texas, and Georgia. These bots were trained to be either Democrats or Republicans by watching videos aligned with partisan content, while others stayed neutral. Then the team tracked the videos TikTok recommended on these accounts' For You pages over 27 weeks. The results revealed a clear partisan imbalance, as the team explains in their paper: "Republican- conditioned accounts received 11.5% more party- aligned content compared with Democratic- conditioned accounts across all states." # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-04-28_[Older]_How_a controversial_gas_pipeline_deal_could_further_stall Bosnia's_EU_accession⠀⇛ o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ Julie_K._Brown_on_Pulitzer_Win,_8_Years After_Jeffrey_Epstein_Exposé⠀⇛ Brown’s work went on to win many prestigious accolades, but not a Pulitzer Prize, the most competitive award in journalism. That all changed on Monday, when the committee granted her a special citation, citing her “groundbreaking reporting in 2017 and 2018 that exposed Jeffrey Epstein’s systematic abuse of young women, the justice system that protected him, and, over time, his powerful network of associates and enablers.” In a Friday morning interview with Rolling Stone, the journalist talked about why she was heartened by the recognition, why she isn’t letting up, and why no matter what, the focus should stay on the survivors. # ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ A_Jeffrey_Epstein_pop-up_museum_is_now open_in_New_York_City._Here’s_what_to_know⠀⇛ It took organizers roughly a month to print, bind and arrange the collection, according to Wired. “The evidence in this room is evidence of one of the most horrific crimes in American history,” the exhibit's chief organizer David Garrett told Wired. “When people come through this room, I hope they realize that in America, we have the rule of law, and if they stand up they can take action and demand accountability for the crimes that were committed.” Part of the installation details the timeline of Epstein’s relationship with President Trump, from their initial meeting in Palm Beach in 1987, to Epstein’s attendance at Trump’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples and the end of Epstein’s Mar-a-Lago membership in 2007. # ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ Jeffrey_Epstein’s_brother_claims released_suicide_note_is_a_‘forgery’:_report⠀⇛ “I’ve known Jeff all my life. If he was going to kill himself, if he was going to write a suicide note, he would’ve written it ‘to somebody,’ not just a blanket statement saying goodbye,” Epstein said. “I don’t buy that.” # ⚓ TMZ ☛ Jeffrey_Epstein's_Brother_Says_Suicide_Note_is_a Forgery⠀⇛ Jeffrey Epstein's brother says the disgraced financier didn't write the suicide note his former cellmate claims he did ... calling it a forgery. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ I_Reached_Out_To_The_White_House Counterterrorism_Czar_For_Comment._He_Lashed_Out_On_X.⠀⇛ My editors and I decided it was time to break out the Gorka files. For six months, I had monitored Gorka’s public remarks for clues about the status of his long-promised national counterterrorism strategy and updates on deadly U.S. strikes in Africa and the Middle East. It had started as old- fashioned beat reporting; I cover counterterrorism, and he’s the senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council. The trove of details I collected from months of Gorka’s public statements, along with interviews with more than two dozen current and former security officials, were woven into a ProPublica investigation published in April. It’s an in-depth look at Gorka and his role in the hollowed-out national security apparatus after a year of leadership turmoil and personnel loss as Trump shifted resources toward his immigration agenda. # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Wall_Street_Journal_story_on_Trump_and Epstein_took_six_months_and_20_staff⠀⇛ Speaking at Truth Tellers, The Sir Harry Evans Investigative Journalism Summit in London on Wednesday, Tucker joked that the story had caused “a whole world of pain”. She said: “It’s a really good example of why the kind of journalism that we’re all endeavouring to keep alive and focus on is challenged, because it took an awfully long time. It took a huge amount of resources.” o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2026-05-04_[Older]_These_tropical_forests_are critically_important._Why_is_this_religious_sect_cutting_them down?⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Age AU ☛ 2026-05-03_[Older]_A_crying_glacier_and_a shivering_ice_shelf:_A_beautiful,_tragic_story⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2026-05-02_[Older]_Coral_reefs_in_Mauritius_are turning_ghostly_white._Can_nurseries_rescue_them_from_climate change?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ 2026-05-02_[Older]_Event_With_Links_to_Oil Industry_Teaches_Judges_“Healthy_Skepticism”_of_Climate Science⠀⇛ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2026-04-30_[Older]_The_strange_reason_why_wildlife agencies_want_Americans_to_buy_more_guns⠀⇛ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ 2026-04-28_[Older]_The_Minilateralist Incentive:_A_Climate_Change_Conference_in_Colombia⠀⇛ # ⚓ Truthdig ☛ 2026-04-28_[Older]_Cheeto_Mussolini_Alliance Cracks_as_Climate_Denialists_Turn_on_RFK_Jr.’s_Movement⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Revelator ☛ Protect_This_Place:_Southern_Appalachia⠀⇛ This area is home to the greatest diversity of salamanders on Earth, including the giant eastern hellbender.

Ypsilanti Township has been fighting the proposed datacenter for more than a year now. Data centers are wildly unpopular in the United States. They often cause noise pollution, affect water quality, and drive up utility bills for their neighbors. Local opposition to the Ypsilanti Township data center has been compounded by its connection to America’s nuclear weapons industry. # ⚓ Daniel Holden ☛ Respectable_people_don't_Litter⠀⇛ But while it's an undeniable truth that the mints are now gone, this does not mean they disappeared on their own. By walking away from the mints, our business guy simply passed on the torch - someone will have had to work out what to do with the mints, and most likely it was the kind of person who, according to twelve-year-old-me at least, would have been without a job if not for him. That's one of the mad things about living on a planet with 8 billion people. If you have an inconvenience, in certain circumstances you can pretty much just baseball bat that thing into the crowd and let it hit some random poor sod on the head. To you, the inconvenience may as well have disappeared. To the person who got it to the head - it may as well have teleported out of nowhere.

It moistens the landscape as it melts, lessening the risk of severe wildfire.

According to the OPC’s press release, this $2 billion bill will cost the state’s consumers an extra $1.6 billion in the next ten years alone — that means an extra $823 million for residential (approx. $345 per customer), $146 million for commercial (approx. $673 per customer), and $629 million for industrial customers (approx. $15,074 per customer). # ⚓ Android Police ☛ I_ditched_my_super-fast_phone charger_for_a_super-slow_one,_and_I'd_recommend everyone_do_the_same⠀⇛ Most people who've owned a phone know that its battery life diminishes over time.

That means American drone tech has been effectively placed on an indefinite pause until an American drone company is able to develop and launch a consumer drone – a process that will likely take years. # ⚓ Sandor Dargo ☛ An_Immigrant's_Love_Letter_to_the_West_by Konstantin_Kisin⠀⇛ Given how much I enjoy their style, I was happy to read Kisin’s bestselling book An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the West.

A whole lot of unelected people are not just involved but expert in how legislation gets passed, and how the state administers its programs. Around the actual elected officials are thousands of people – staffers, lawyers, campaigners, and organizers (and, alas, lobbyists) trying to usher a piece of legislation through the process or prevent it from passing. State employees turn successful measures into policy. Journalists who build careers around reporting on the process, the politics, and the players are crucial for keeping the rest of us informed and holding politicians accountable. A lot of these people become as expert as any elected official (or more so in specialized areas); a lot of legislators rely on their expertise. # ⚓ News Fuitures ☛ An_Invitation_to_Build_the_Civic Information_Economy⠀⇛ What would it mean to rethink the economic systems supporting civic information, view sustainability in new ways, explore incentives that reward public outcomes, and build feedback loops that help funders understand the real-world impact? How do we create economic practices that encourage many responsive solutions in an era of polycrisis, rather than fewer? We propose that a true civic information economy, reframes civic information not just as an evolution of the journalism economy but as an economic sector in its own right. This sector deserves a diverse set of structural incentives to support a multitude of participants and to become sustainable, participatory, and aligned with public needs. # ⚓ Bert Hubert ☛ George_Orwell's_review_of_Russel's_Power:_A New_Social_Analysis⠀⇛ The most interesting part of Mr. Russell’s book is the earlier chapters in which he analyses the various types of power—priestly, oligarchical, dictatorial, and so forth. In dealing with the contemporary situation he is less satisfactory, because like all liberals he is better at pointing out what is desirable than at explaining how to achieve it. He sees clearly enough that the essential problem of today is “the taming of power” and that no system except democracy can be trusted to save us from unspeakable horrors. Also that democracy has very little meaning without approximate economic equality and an educational system tending to promote tolerance and tough- mindedness. But unfortunately he does not tell us how we are to set about getting these things; he merely utter what amounts to a pious hope that the present state of things will not endure. He is inclined to point to the past; all tyrannies have collapsed sooner or later, and “there is no reason to suppose (Hitler) more permanent than his predecessors.” # ⚓ India Times ☛ Cloudflare_to_cut_about_20%_of_5,000-plus workforce_as_AI_adoption_reshapes_operations⠀⇛ The company said the restructuring will affect more than 1,100 employees worldwide.

Large Russian flags were waved during the school performance, prompting criticism, including from Education Minister Anders Adlercreutz (SPP). "School cannot become an arena where this kind of propaganda is pushed onto students and staff," he told Yle. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Eesti Rahvusringhääling ☛ Estonia_retains_second_place_in world_academic_freedom_ranking⠀⇛ The Academic Freedom Index assesses the state of higher education and research in five categories: freedom of research and teaching, freedom of academic exchange and dissemination, institutional autonomy of universities, adherence to research ethics and good practices and academic and cultural freedom of expression. Estonia has remained near the top of the rankings for years and this year only the Czech Republic was rated higher in terms of academic freedom. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ ABC_Learns_from_Past_Mistakes,_Takes Stronger_Stance_Against_Carr_and_Trump's_Censorship Campaign⠀⇛ “The Commission’s actions threaten to upend decades of settled law and practice and chill critical protected speech, both with respect to The View and more broadly,” reads ABC’s filing. “It is therefore imperative that the Commission act quickly to assure broadcasters that it will uphold its long- established standards protecting broadcasters’ good faith news judgment in including political candidates in bona fide news programming.” # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ FPF_commends_ABC_for_fighting_back_against FCC_censorship⠀⇛ ABC is accusing the Federal Communications Commission of violating the First Amendment and chilling press freedom, in a regulatory filing in its dispute with the FCC over whether “The View” is a bona fide news program exempt from the agency’s equal time requirement. The following can be attributed to Freedom of the Press Foundation Chief of Advocacy Seth Stern: [...] # ⚓ [Old] Internet Society ☛ Mandated_DNS_Blocking:_Critical Considerations [PDF]⠀⇛ Mandated DNS blocking, often presented as a straightforward policy solution, is ineffective, harmful, and impractical. It is ineffective because it is easily circumvented by users and fails to remove targeted content, which simply reappears under new domain names. It is harmful because this blunt instrument cannot distinguish between lawful and unlawful material, leading to overblocking, fragmentation of the Internet's global naming system, and the failure of interconnected services, including critical security protocols. Finally, it is impractical because the DNS is not bound by geography, meaning national blocking orders against global resolvers create unintended and widespread extraterritorial effects. Mandated blocking is the wrong tool for a role the DNS was never designed to play. To address online harms, interventions must focus on the content itself and the actors responsible — not on compromising the universality, reliability, and security of the Internet's core infrastructure. # ⚓ Internet Society ☛ DNS_Blocking:_Mind_the_Unintended Consequences⠀⇛ The Internet is essential for our everyday lives. We use it to reach out to friends and family, pay our bills, study, work, watch our favorite movies, and do an infinite number of other things. But at the same time, criminal activities are also happening online. Growing concerns about online copyright infringement and child safety have led governments to regulate online services, which sometimes leads to content blocking or even making entire websites and apps unavailable. The problem is that many countries are increasingly turning to the Domain Name System (DNS) to enforce public policy online, putting the entire Internet in danger and spreading side effects that affect perfectly legal content and services. Increasingly, they are relying on mandated DNS blocking to enforce regulations. But this is not only dangerous to the Internet ecosystem. It’s also ineffective. # ⚓ Joseph Lorenzo Hall ☛ The_Collateral_Damage_of_Mandated_DNS Blocking⠀⇛ Need a concise version for court?

But today, even as pillars of news media crumble all around, the non-profit news program is going strong, with millions of viewers tuning in from around the world. # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ Celebrity_Culture_Is_Swallowing_the_News Media⠀⇛ As trust in media craters and revenue dries up, legacy news outlets are filling their feeds with celebrity heart-to-hearts and personality-driven coverage. The result is journalism that fawns over fame and power rather than holding it to account. # ⚓ CPJ ☛ How_the_Trump_administration_is_using_immigration authorities_to_restrict_speech ⠀⇛ Here are four things you need to know about how immigration agencies have participated in restricting press freedom in the United States: [...] # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Senator_at_center_of_Utah_AI_data_center debate_gets_physical,_slaps_phone_out_of_reporter’s_hand_— reporter_covering_cases_of_harassment_against_his_business⠀⇛ A witness who saw the interaction called the authorities, resulting in the filing of a police report. Once the situation had cooled down, law enforcement officers told Wang that the Senator was apologizing for the incident. However, the crew was also served with a trespassing notice, warning them that they are prohibited from going on the property or premises of the business for a year. o § Civil Rights / Policing / Accessibility⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ FBI_Raids_Office_Of_Dem_Politician_Instrumental In_Redrawing_Virginia_Voter_Maps…_With_Fox_News_In_Tow⠀⇛ If you’re not familiar with why Trump might be targeting L. Louise Lucas, here comes some remedial instruction. In April, Virginia voters approved redrawn voting districts that could conceivably shift the Democratic Party’s Congressional majority from 6-5 to 10-1. This was done in response to the GOP’s unprecedented mid-term gerrymandering — something that’s usually done every 10 years or so as census data begins to trickle in. # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Pluralistic:_Trump’s_fruitless_search_for_a goreable_ox_(09_May_2026)⠀⇛ I've got good news and bad news for Trump. The good news: you can get elected by promising to do something about the cost of living crisis, and the president actually has a lot of ways to improve people's daily costs. The bad news: everything you could do to fix working people's cost of living will make an oligarch worse off. This is the essential conundrum of Trumpismo: to keep his base happy, he needs to make their lives better; but to make their lives better, he'll have to make oligarchs angry. The oligarchs' wealth bonanza caused the cost of living crisis. Oligarchs' pleasure causes our suffering, so alleviating our suffering will reduce their pleasure. # ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ Melania_Trump’s_Mother’s_Day_op-ed_in Jeff_Bezos’_Washington_Post_shredded_by_readers:_‘What_a disgrace’⠀⇛ Another posted: “She lives a life of excess and materialism and she’s telling mothers—some who work two and three jobs—to do more at home but make sure they take time for self care?... What a disgrace.” “Your husband compared a reporter to a female dog the other day,” one reader added. “You are one tone deaf person,” wrote another. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Contractors_Razed_a_1,000-Year-Old_Indigenous Site_to_Build_Trump’s_Border_Wall⠀⇛ “This wall cuts through sovereign ancestral lands that existed long before the U.S.-Mexico border,” adds Congressmember Adelita Grijalva, whose district includes the area. “The federal government is prioritizing this rapid construction of an unnecessary wall without any meaningful tribal consultation.” o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ 2026-04-27_[Older]_The_Internet_Still_Works:_SmugMug Powers_Online_Photography⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Zambian Observer ☛ Iran_Turns_Internet_Cables_into Hostage_Takers_in_the_Strait_of_Hormuz⠀⇛ Iran is moving to seize control of seven critical undersea internet cables running through the Strait of Hormuz, forcing foreign operators to beg for permits, cough up transit fees, and submit to Iranian law while handing all maintenance over to local regime-tied firms. These cables carry 15 to 20 percent of global internet and financial traffic linking Europe, the Gulf, and Asia. Gulf states depend on them for over 90 percent of their connectivity, banking, and cloud services. Iran, by contrast, routes less than 40 percent through them and leans on overland backups through Turkey. # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ What_does_the_FCC_have_to_do_with cyber_security?⠀⇛ "Cyber attackers do not care, they look for any kind of vulnerability, whether it's as simple as a router to something more complex," said Zenji Nakazawa. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Victor Kropp ☛ Brandolini’s_law⠀⇛ Back in 2021–2022, I was co-hosting and producing a podcast. I purchased some fitting background music before we started and have been using it in every episode. Some distribution platforms even requested a proof of purchase when I first added the podcast there, which I, of course, provided. But not Spotify. Instead, Spotify decided to remove half of the published episodes at the beginning of this week, seemingly on a random basis. They claimed that I didn’t have permission to use the third-party music. And all that 3 years after the last published episode. o § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ # ⚓ Idiomdrottning ☛ When_the_free-trade_right_punished competition⠀⇛ Yeah, although I’m not even onboard with that part. I get that you wrote “reasonable”, not “fantastic”, and maybe that’s where I’d land too as in “contrary to the rest of this law which is tyrannical, suffocating, makes a mockery of freedom, and furthers corporate trampling of people power, this part at least makes sense, I ‘only’ disagree with it (reasoning that it’s great if public infrastructure primarily benefit public works, and that this paragraph whiffs of the ‘marknadshyror’ debacle and, like it, will lead to furthering the collapse of what we the people built together and have together), whereas the rest of the law is just complete and thorough cruelty without any amount of reason, motivation, or consistency with self- professed free-trade values, just a blatant money grab and a punch in the face of all of us” kind of “reasonable”. # ⚓ [Old] Reuters ☛ OpenAI_executives_weigh_antitrust accusation_against_Microsoft,_WSJ_reports⠀⇛ Microsoft invested $1 billion in OpenAI in 2019 to support the startup's development of AI technologies on its Azure cloud platform. Since then, however, OpenAI has been looking for ways to reduce its reliance on the tech heavyweight. The company plans to add Alphabet's (GOOGL.O), opens new tab Google Cloud service to meet its growing needs for computing capacity, Reuters reported earlier this month. # ⚓ [Old] USDOJ ☛ Antitrust_Division_|_Testimony_Of_Franklin_M. Fisher_:_United_States_V._Microsoft_Corporation⠀⇛ 16. I now turn to a summary of my basic conclusions. 17. Microsoft has achieved monopoly power in the market for operating systems for Intel-compatible desktop personal computers. 18. Microsoft has foreseen the possibility that the dominant position of its Windows operating system will be eroded by Internet browsers and by Java, which are capable of supporting software applications that are operating-system independent. 19. Microsoft has taken anti-competitive actions to exclude competition in Internet browsers in order to protect the current dominance of its Windows operating system. Microsoft's conduct includes: anti-competitive agreements with PC manufacturers that require the manufacturers to acquire Microsoft's Internet browser as a condition of acquiring Microsoft's Windows operating system, that hinder the manufacturers' promotion of competing browsers, and that restrain PC manufacturers from removing Microsoft's browser or substituting an alternative browser; the predatory pricing and distribution of Microsoft's browser; and anti-competitive and exclusionary agreements with Online Services (OLSs), Internet Service Providers (ISPs), Internet Content Providers (ICPs), and others. Taken together, Microsoft's actions as to browsers are not profit-maximizing in themselves but are profitable only because of their adverse effects on competition. 20. Microsoft has also taken anti-competitive actions to restrain the use and availability of the Java technology in order to protect the current dominance of the Windows operating system. Further, Microsoft has engaged in a number of anti- competitive acts and solicitations designed to convince other firms not to compete against Microsoft in platform-level software. 21. Microsoft is using its monopoly power over PC operating systems to secure monopoly power over Internet browsers. # ⚓ Court House News ☛ Fox_slams_Newsmax_over_reoccurring antitrust_claims⠀⇛ Newsmax first leveled monopoly accusations against Fox Corporation and Fox News Network in a September lawsuit filed in the Southern District of Florida. The right-wing cable news outlet referenced “no- carry” provisions and financial penalties if distributors carried the channel. The outlet said Fox blocked Newsmax from platforms like Fubo, Sling TV and Hulu. These practices, Newsmax says, resulted in a smaller market share and lack of major advertisers. # § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ [Old] Wired ☛ The_Economy_of_Ideas⠀⇛ Since it is now possible to convey ideas from one mind to another without ever making them physical, we are now claiming to own ideas themselves and not merely their expression. And since it is likewise now possible to create useful tools that never take physical form, we have taken to patenting abstractions, sequences of virtual events, and mathematical formulae - the most unreal estate imaginable. In certain areas, this leaves rights of ownership in such an ambiguous condition that property again adheres to those who can muster the largest armies. The only difference is that this time the armies consist of lawyers. # § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Linux_mascot_Tux_the_penguin_hits_30 years_old_—_Linus_Torvalds_outlined_the_design_of_the 'slightly_overweight_penguin'_on_May_9,_1996⠀⇛ Though we reckon Torvalds was correct in pushing for a penguin expressed in a simple brushstroke, the Tux mascot is still pretty detailed/ornate compared to a typical tech company logo. In 2026, even the fox from Firefox is on the way out, being reduced all the way to a circular spot, if we are reading the official teaser video correctly. # § Right of Publicity⠀➾ # ⚓ India Times ☛ EU_strikes_deal_to_ban_sexualised AI_deepfakes⠀⇛ EU negotiators from the European Parliament and European capitals also agreed to delay the implementation of high-risk AI rules, concerning models deemed potentially dangerous to safety, health or citizens' fundamental rights. The rules had been due to enter into force in August 2026 for stand-alone AI systems and a year later for AI tools embedded in other products, but will now be pushed back to December 2027 and August 2028 respectively. # ⚓ NBC ☛ Actor_alleges_James_Cameron_used_her teenage_face_to_create_key_'Avatar'_character⠀⇛ Kilcher’s likeness was captured in production sketches, sculpted into maquettes and laser-scanned into high- resolution digital models, then distributed across multiple visual effects vendors to render Neytiri’s final appearance, according to the release. The image derived from Kilcher’s face went on to appear in the films, on movie posters and on merchandise without her knowledge or consent, it says. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ James_Cameron_Accused_of_Stealing 14-Year-Old_Girl's_Face_for_Main_Character_of Billion-Dollar_“Avatar”_Films⠀⇛ Filed Tuesday by native Peruvian actress and activist Q’orianka Kilcher, the suit alleges that Cameron “extracted” Kilcher’s “facial features” from a photo of her playing Pocahontas in the 2006 movie “The New World” and “directed his design team to use it as the foundation for the character of Neytiri,” one of the “Avatar” franchise’s main characters. When “The New World” was filmed, Kilcher, now 36, was just 14. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Ian Linkletter ☛ Update_#33:_The_lawsuit_is_over!_| Stand_Against_Proctorio's_SLAPP!⠀⇛ Yesterday, Proctorio filed a CDO in BC Supreme Court. A CDO is not a finding of fact or an admission of liability, but a mutual agreement to dismiss the lawsuit. The CDO dismisses all claims against me, but leaves the general framework of the 2022 injunction in place, which includes the Court’s clarification that I am free to access, download, disseminate, copy, record, post, transfer, share, or comment on material obtained from any public source. What I cannot do is access the Proctorio Help Center or Academy, or share materials from those sources, unless they come from a public source. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Sphere_Posts_69%_Q1_'26_Revenue Hike_Amid_Ticket_Sales_Jump⠀⇛ And while one might assume that these often- sold-out live events are doing most of the heavy lifting revenue-wise, “Sphere Experience” Wizard of Oz showings played a major part in fueling the Q1 2026 growth, execs disclosed. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ U.S._Removes_Bulgaria_from_Piracy Watch_List_After_Torrent_Tracker_Crackdown⠀⇛ Bulgaria has proven that the right legislative update can go a long way in Washington. The USTR credits the country's removal from the Watch List to a 2023 amendment of the Criminal Code, which makes piracy enforcement easier. This new legislation resulted in the shutdown of three long-running torrent trackers and the arrest of several individuals who now face criminal charges. =============================================================================== Image source: The_Number_Seven =============================================================================== * SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_72_Out_of_200:_Microsoft's_Graveley_and_Garrett Signed_Documents_That_Hold_Them_Accountable_to_Truth_and_Liable_for_Lies * Links_10/05/2026:_Hantavirus_Brings_Back_'Contact_Tracing'_Surveillance, "Staple_Food_Prices_Soar_in_Iran" ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4256 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Links 10/05/2026: Hantavirus Brings Back 'Contact Tracing' Surveillance, "Staple Food Prices Soar in Iran"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 10, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇White-tail_Deer_On_Pond_Dam⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Leftovers o Science o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Proprietary o Defence/Aggression o Environment # Energy/Transportation o Finance o AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics o Censorship/Free_Speech o Freedom_of_Information_/_Freedom_of_the_Press o Monopolies/Monopsonies # Patents # Software_Patents * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Jakub Steiner ☛ Jakub_Steiner:_USS/FMS_Carrier⠀⇛ I'm a sucker for pixel art and very constrained music grooveboxes.

Security was tight in Moscow as Putin and several foreign leaders attended the parade, which was scaled down even as a US-brokered three-day ceasefire eased concerns about possible Ukrainian attempts to disrupt the festivities. # ⚓ France24 ☛ 'Atmosphere_closer_to_wartime':_Moscow’s muted_Victory_Day_reflects_growing_security_fears⠀⇛ Russia’s scaled-down Victory Day celebrations highlighted mounting security concerns and the strain of the war in Ukraine, according to Chatham House analyst Grégoire Roos. Speaking to FRANCE 24, Roos said tighter security, internet shutdowns and fears of Ukrainian drone strikes created an atmosphere “closer to wartime protection” than national triumph, even as President Vladimir Putin continues to retain broad public support. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Russia_marks_Victory_Day_with_scaled-back parade⠀⇛ Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday voiced confidence of victory in Ukraine as he oversaw a military parade on Red Square commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. But this year, for the first time in nearly two decades, the parade took place without tanks, missiles and other heavy weapons, aside from a traditional flyover of combat jets over fears of an Ukrainian attack. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Russia_is_fighting_an_'aggressive'_NATO- backed_force,_Putin_says_in_Victory_Day_speech⠀⇛ Russian President Vladimir Putin said Saturday that Russian troops in Ukraine were fighting an "aggressive force" backed by all of NATO and described his war goals as "just" in a combative speech during the annual Victory Day parade on Red Square. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Putin_Says_He_Thinks_Ukraine_Conflict_'Coming To_End,'_But_Shows_No_Signs_Of_Compromise⠀⇛ Russian President Vladimir Putin said he thought the conflict with Ukraine is "coming to an end," but stressed that he would meet President Volodymyr Zelenskyy only once a final peace deal has been agreed. # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ For_Putin,_Problems_(and_Paranoia)_Keep Mounting⠀⇛ Drone attacks, internet blackouts, and a sudden downturn in the economy have marked one of the worst stretches for Vladimir Putin since the start of the war in Ukraine. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ A_Scaled-Back_Victory_Day_Parade Shows_Putin’s_Growing_Vulnerability_in_Ukraine_War⠀⇛ The event, shrunken because of security fears, adds to a sense that Moscow and other Russian cities can no longer be insulated from the war. # ⚓ France24 ☛ 'End_of_an_era':_EU_flag_outside parliament_signals_shift_in_Hungary⠀⇛ Hungary may be entering a new political phase as the European Union flag appeared alongside the national flag outside parliament, symbolising a potential shift in the country’s long-standing confrontation with Brussels. FRANCE 24 International Affairs Editor Shirley Sippon said the change comes after years in which Viktor Orban positioned Hungary as a key challenger within the EU, particularly on issues ranging from veto power to Ukraine policy and rule-of-law disputes. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Ukrainians_mark_end_of_WWII_amid_fragile ceasefire_with_Russia⠀⇛ As a temporary ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia comes into effect, residents across Ukraine reflect on the enduring toll of war and the uncertainty of peace. In Zaporizhzhia, mourners at a World War II memorial drew parallels between past and present suffering, while others in Kharkiv and Kyiv expressed cautious hope mixed with deep scepticism that the brief pause in fighting could lead to meaningful negotiations. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Russia_Has_Lost_More_Than_350,000 Soldiers,_New_Estimate_Finds⠀⇛ The number raises the prospect that about half a million soldiers in total have died on the Russian and Ukrainian sides. # ⚓ France24 ☛ 'Disposable_spies':_Poland_records unprecedented_number_of_Russian_espionage_cases⠀⇛ Warsaw has recorded an unprecedented number of hybrid attacks on its territory since 2024, Poland’s internal security service (ABW) said in a report published this week.
