The production counter is down more than 10k products and more than 10k strike participations have been registered at the time of writing. Our decision makers have reacted by organizing some (rather unconvincing) 30 min. Q&A sessions on the Salary Adjustment Procedure/Method (SAP/SAM) with VP4, applying extra production pressure, reshuffling examining divisions and suddenly prioritizing direct grants. It is disappointing to see management doing everything in their power to dampen the effect of the industrial actions without addressing their root causes: our proposal to resolve the labour dispute remains unanswered at the time of writing. On the other hand, it shows that our collective action is having an effect, and that our disruption needs to be maintained. We therefore call all staff to keep supporting the industrial actions by: - Striking on any day of the week1, - Striking on the following new recommended “anchor days”2, close to meetings with the Administration: o Monday 8 June (Administrative Council deadline for submissions: 12 June), o Friday 26 June (Administrative Council: June 29-30), - Continuing work-to-rule: work thoroughly, avoid rushing or working longer than your contracted hours, refrain from voluntary projects (pilot projects, extra tasks,…), take leave appropriate to your personal situation (sick leave, special _______ 1 Recommended number of days: 23 days in the period of 30 March until end of June. This is equivalent to the number of strike days planned in Munich on fixed days of Monday and Friday. 23 days might seem like a lot, and we wish to remind you that we have lost the equivalent of 100 days of strike per employee since the present SAP was introduced in 2020. 2 The purposes of these recommended anchor days are to foster solidarity and the feeling of collective action, and remind the Administration of the magnitude of staff unrest. Please note that these days are included within the total number of strike days, they are not to be regarded as the only days on which we will take action. ===================================================================== leave,…), complete trainings, participate in professional development and strengthen collaboration within teams, do not overshoot any of your targets, be it production or productivity; - Not undertaking compensation work to cover work lost during strike days or work to rule action; - Informing your colleagues if you have been asked to take over the work they could not carry out due to being on industrial action and questioning the managerial decision to hand over this work; - Discussing the effects of the proposed cuts3 with your colleagues and, if possible, encourage them to join the industrial actions; - Speaking out in meetings with management; - Putting on a background on your MSTEAMS / out of office message / MSTEAMS status supporting the actions; - Attending meetings with your staff and union representatives - Joining SUEPO or encouraging colleagues to do so, remembering that union membership is confidential and not known to the employer if not disclosed by the employee Please note the guide to production pressure at a time of industrial actions, and do not hesitate to contact us for assistance. For a workplace worthy of its talent. Kind regards, Your SUEPO TH committee, M18B10 and De Bruyn Kopsstraat, 15, Rijswijk 16-18 June: Staff Committee elections – cast all your 16 votes for the SUEPO team! _____ 3 See also slides of the Staff General Meetings on the topic: 26 January, 12 February, 10 March. The_management_scored_an_own_goal. Over at the main "branch" (or site) of the EPO, the union (SUEPO Munich) sent out "Invitation to General Assembly on Monday 8 June" (8 days from now). To quote: SUEPO Munich Action Plan for 2026 Dear SUEPO members, Dear Colleagues, Mr Campinos maintains his proposal for a new salary adjustment procedure eroding the salaries, pensions and benefits of EPO staff. The delegates in the Budget and Finance Committee meeting of 20 and 21 May gave a positive opinion on the proposal in preparation of the Administrative Council meeting of 30 June and 1 July. Later this year, the Administrative Council will meet on 13 and 14 October to decide on the re-election of Mr Campinos for a third mandate. The new salary erosion procedure is part of his strategy to obtain the necessary support from the delegates. Therefore, SUEPO Munich invites to a General Assembly on Monday 8 June, at 14.00 hrs to be held via MS Teams. Agenda: * Feedback from the Budget and Finance Committee * Presentation of ballot on the continuation/intensification of the Action Plan 2026 * AOB Campinos may well be ousted soon. We have enough material about Campinos and his cocaine family (the term "brother-in-law" comes from him) to cover scandals until next year. █ *

in Society May Be (or What You're Truly Good At)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 31, 2026, updated May 31, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Dog_in_coach_station⦈_ In the 1980s Richard Stallman was a programmer. An ordinary "dork" of MIT. He was no "philosopher" or movement builder; in interviews (decades later) he confessed that he had never envisioned being an "activist" or having the skills required or ever seriously aiming to do so. It just kind of... happened. He sort of "discovered" that in himself. That very much reminds me of Daniel Pocock. A Computer Scientist hailing from Australia, he become an exposer of all sorts of scandals because of things he had witnessed inside communities. Sure, the people he exposes will mock and try to intimidate him. It's always like that... 20+ years ago I described myself as a prolific activist or advocate for GNU/ Linux. Over time I focused more and more on corporate corruption, with a growing focus on policy, especially regarding patents (irrespective of any particular continent). Here in Techrights some of the community assumed greater control over political news picks and my wife leads when it comes to GNU/Linux news curation - I mostly follow up with some commentary. About 10% of my time is spent on litigation (mostly writing_about_it), another 10% is coordinating in the community (Techrights 'behind the scenes' became like a "glue" that helps connect or federate several disparate communities/sites), about 20% of my time is spent researching news/long articles, and the rest is spent editing and publishing (writing articles does not take so long, but it makes no sense to publish a bunch of words unless they convey something new, meaningful, and accurate). This means I became an editor (my signature 20 years ago said "Freelance Journalist"; it was changed to "Editor" about 10 years ago) - a person who assesses what's being sent our way and digests it before coming up with summaries and inter-connected analysis/analyses (cross-referencing where it seems apt). Everything is connected one way or another. It helps to have a good sense or knowledge (at least general awareness) of many different aspects/ facets - more so access to people who can explain it to you in more technical terms. We've got that. Being an editor suits me, I think. It's also what I enjoy doing. Community- building isn't always easy because people (or groups) fight one another and sometimes one gets sandwiched between them (for instance, gay people who criticise trans people and vice versa; you don't want to get caught in the middle). Doing Techrights is still lots of fun. It is highly rewarding on many levels (except financially). Thankfully, as of this month, we have two high-profile barristers dealing for us with legal matters and also a Director of a law firm - a person whom I have great respect for and a high opinion of. This means I can better focus on what really matters to Techrights and always mattered to Techrights. Next month we have some good news (professional) and I should have a new nephew. Months later this site turns 20 and I intend to keep exposing corruption, not limited to institutions like the EPO and corporations like IBM. We have a wide array of whistleblowers and this ensures we have a steady flow of exclusive and impactful stories. Our pipeline of stories is already overflowing and it's not getting smaller/narrower; some stuff is so abundant that it'll take several_years to exhaustively cover and have an effect it deserves. Despite_us_publishing_at_a_faster_pace_than_ever_before. Speed isn't the most important thing, it is just a side effect. Techrights wants to thank David_Allen_Green for doing pro bono work that laid our foundation of trust, courage, and uncompromising stance that prioritises whistleblowers, suppressed truth, women's rights (and safety) etc. David also helped connect us with people at the highest tier in the UK; they've protected us. We're unafraid. In my teens I was a programmer, by age 20 I realised that I loved writing words as much as I loved coding (I was told I was good at communicating ideas), in my 30s I was already getting a lot of exclusive stories (people learned they can trust me to protect them) and now I_envision_spending_a_decade_or_more_doing more_of_the_same because I believe I've found what I'm good at. The "sense of purpose" thing comes to mind. It's not just a myth. RMS is good at being a visionary who gives public talks (where he pays careful attention to every word used), he needn't develop Emacs anymore. In a sense, he found his vocation, that's why his haters try_so_hard_to_cancel_(as_in deplatform)_his_talks. They didn't succeed and he'll soon give a talk in a large auditorium in_Switzerland,_then_in_Germany. Do what you like; if you're good at it, happiness will come. I am very glad I turned away from GAFAM headhunters; or the job offer I got from London in 2003. I spent a lot of time speaking to much older people before realising it would merely be wasted potential. Some people realise the same when it's too late in their "careers" (homes, mortgages, kids and so on). Let's take IBM as an example because of Red Hat. To many of us in the GNU/Linux 'spheres', Red Hat was once considered a "dream job". Some people I spoke to said so; they were disappointed to see what Red Hat had become (we'll run a story about this topic one day). It's like SUSE under Novell, basically somewhat of a Microsoft subsidiary before and after the 2006 patent deal. Red Hat is selling slop, not Linux; SUSE was selling Mono (.NET), not Software Freedom. All about rhetoric and optics. "Is it safe to accept a job offer from IBM?" somebody asked some hours ago, saying: "I have two job offers that I am considering, and one is from IBM consulting services. Great company but with so many of the big firms laying off by the 10’s of thousands, it gives me pause to accept the IBM offer. Any insights about job stability?" "I joined 5 years ago," somebody_replied. "IBM offer was lower compared to what I was making before but I joined. The problem. The long tenure IBMer will earn less as the annual raise is low. The problem: my new manager thinks that I should not more calling it fair. Now I am on a personal improvement plan. May be in a month out. Don't look at the offer Price. Count the friends you will need. I never look at my pay check. The issue. my manager looks at mine." Many IBMers already realise that they spent years if not decades of their lives working on mostly meaningless products/projects; telling people you were an "IBMer" is no badge of honour, either. IBM is widely regarded as a crappy employer, just like GAFAM jobs are perceived as evil. █ =============================================================================== Image source:

Track Record of Misusing Trademarks to Send Lawyers to Try to Take Down Pages and Web Sites of Critics⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 31, 2026 Red Hat claims to own words; IBM thinks it owns names Now that thelayoff.com is removing many pages about IBM/Red Hat [1, 2] while leaving intact pages made by Internet trolls to vex (rage-bait and inauthentic postings) it's time to revisit how_Mia_Bass_(Legal_Affairs_at_Red_Hat,_Inc.) was_bullying_Wikileaks_almost_exactly_18_years_ago_(May_30th,_2008) and IBM then_tried_to_take_down_an_entire_domain_of_a_longtime_Fedora_volunteer_(unpaid labour)_for_talking_about_legitimate_issues. The tribunal ruled that IBM had abused the process on_many_levels. Pages at thelayoff.com that are critical of IBM/Red Hat keep vanishing (quietly) for no good reason, so it's a good time to revisit what IBM did before. Red Hat pretends to honour Software Freedom, but it does not even respect free speech, freedom of the press, freedom of expression, the right to dissent (either as outsider or insider) and so on. In_2012_Red_Hat_staff_was_doing horrible_things_to_me_because_I_had_criticised_what_Red_Hat_did_for_Microsoft (they undermined security and promoted back doors in billions of computers). They tried to make it personal (Red Hat is not a person) and drag me down to their "cancel culture" level. █ * Richard_Stallman_is_Coming_Back_to_Bern_to_Give_a_Talk_Next_Month * Gemini_Links_31/05/2026:_Backup_vs._Mirror,_Year_of_the_Death_of_a Euphemism,_Slop_Makes_Only_Yet_Another_(Untested)_Calculator ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 736 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/05/31/IRC_Proceedings_Saturday_May_30_2026.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/05/31/IRC_Proceedings_Saturday_May_30_2026.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IRC Proceedings: Saturday, May 30, 2026⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 31, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Man With English Pint of lager, Beer⦈ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇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.

Deepening⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 31, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇‘I’m cancelling’: As Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot moves to token-based billing, developers fear rising AI costs⦈ Some years ago it was reported in the mainstream media that for every GitHub user (used by Microsoft) that decided to use its plagiarism engine (and paid for this plagiarism "privilege") Microsoft was losing $200 (per user). That was after GitHub had lost billions. It was already lacking a business model, it reported indefinite office shutdowns, and it regularly revealed mass layoffs. Like LinkedIn, it's just a sinkhole for "investment", it's not working out and will never work out. Those are good at losing money and boasting about "engagement". GitHub never made money, so Microsoft shelved it or sank it into the slop bucket last summer ("CoreAI") And inside "CoreAI" the chief of GitHub quit the company a few months ago, so something clearly isn't going well. How much money is Microsoft willing to lose just to control the opposition (developers whose projects compete with Microsoft)? Trying to push slop "bug reports" only vexes users and irritates developers. There's nothing to gain from false positives. As it turns out, as Microsoft's_debt_soars, it now wants to limit its losses (at least by just a bit) by placing further restrictions on use. Developers notice_this_and_cancel! Or as one report put it some hours ago: Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot, one of the most widely used AI coding tools, could potentially become costlier for many developers as the tech giant explores new pricing structures tied to usage. The Windows-maker is set to switch its billing system for GitHub Copilot from a flat subscription rate to a token-usage system, according to a report by TechCrunch. This means that users will be charged based on how many tokens they burn through as they work instead of a low flat rate based on requests. In recent months many developers and projects quit GitHub. The above is part of a_trend. Developers have truly turned against this platform. Now it's "cool" to dump it. Entrapment (Microsoft GitHub is a trap) aside, there are also legal costs because a_plagiarism_engine_is_not_a_settled_matter. How much money has Microsoft already lost on this terrible thing that's associated with fraud at Microsoft [1, 2]? How much more is Microsoft willing to lose? "I'm not sure," an associate has noted, "as I am not sure of how tokens get wasted and how many are actually wasting money on wasting tokens and in what capacity. I haven't used any of the LLMs and don't plan on it." Developers can very easily lose their skills if they let LLMs spew out code. How does this benefit anybody? Debugging flawed 'code' (slop) instead of doing it right in_the_first_place will simply not contribute anything to the basic development/refinement of coding skills. No maturity. "There's enough in the daily Links," the associate has added, "to question the mental facilities of those who do, unless they are under threat to do so by their employers." I heard from several people who use LLMs for code. All of them: 1) are forced to do so by their employers; 2) are not happy to do so. This means that LLMs for code mostly target clueless managers, not actual programmers "and their employers are not seeing a ROI on token expenditures," the associate has concluded. How many billions of dollars has Microsoft lost by betting on the false prediction that it can somehow "monetise" public code by LLMs? █ * Links_31/05/2026:_Slop_'Code'_(Junk)_"Increasingly_Leads_to_Production Failures"_and_"Huge_Slop_Costs_With_No_Clear_Benefits" * Cybershow_Requires_Free_Software_to_Record_Shows ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣇⣧⡨⡙⣍⡟⡌⡉⣏⠍⢅⢫⢹⢩⢹⢐⣲⠈⠄⣒⡅⠂⠀⣲⢐⠢⡐⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣷⣶⣞⢶⠖⢗⠖⠲⠒⠒⡶⣚⡾⠒⢶⡺⠶⠟⣷⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛ ⣙⣛⣹⣛⣿⣏⣋⣛⣻⣿⣹⣛⣿⣏⣛⣻⣛⣻⣿⣙⣻⣛⣿⣿⣏⣝⣻⣿⣉⣉⣹⣿⣹⣛⣟⣙⣛⣛⣿⣏⢛⣋⣻⣿⣙⣛⣿⣏⣉⣛⢋⣻⣯⣙⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⡭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⡭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⣭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⢭⠭⠭⠭⠭⢭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⢭⠭⠭⠭⠭⢭⡭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣦⣦⣤⣤⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣿⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣛⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⡿⣟⡻⢿⡿⣟⣻⠿⠿⡿⠟⣿⢿⡟⠿⡿⠻⡿⠿⢟⢿⠻⠻⠿⢿⡻⠿⠻⢻⠿⠿⠿⡿⢿⠟⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠻⢛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡟⠿⣿⠿⡿⢿⢻⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣼⢩⣏⡛⡛⡛⣿⠟⣻⠛⢛⢛⢻⢛⠛⠛⡇⡇⣟⢘⢛⢻⢛⢛⣹⣛⣿⡟⠹⡟⢻⣿⠉⠟⢩⡁⠟⣛⢛⡟⡛⠟⢻⢛⢻⢑⡈⣋⡟⢻⣿⢩⠍⡇⡏⣻⠹⠏⡟⡟⡇⡛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣬⣿⣥⣥⣧⣿⣧⣽⣬⣬⣬⣬⣬⣥⣭⣧⣥⣭⣬⣬⣬⣀⣹⣿⣭⣿⣬⣧⣥⣴⣿⣬⣼⣬⣥⣦⣭⣬⣧⣥⣯⣴⣬⣼⣬⣧⣽⣧⣴⣿⣮⣥⣧⣥⣭⣬⣥⣧⣥⣥⣭⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⢡⣦⢛⡻⢛⡛⡓⡆⡟⡛⡏⣻⣟⢛⢛⠻⢛⢛⢻⡛⠛⡟⢻⣟⢙⢛⡛⣿⡋⡟⡛⡇⠟⡟⠛⡛⡛⡿⢷⢘⢻⠛⢛⠛⠟⠛⢛⢸⣿⢘⡻⣲⡆⡆⡗⡟⣛⢻⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣶⣵⣦⣶⣈⣴⣷⣷⣷⣵⣧⣿⣿⣾⣾⣾⣮⣾⣶⣷⣴⣧⣼⣿⣼⣶⣴⣿⣧⣷⣵⣷⣶⣷⣴⣷⣷⣿⣿⣬⣶⣴⣶⣵⣷⣵⣦⣴⣿⣮⣾⣿⣷⣷⣷⣷⣿⣎⣂⣑⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⢩⢸⢫⣋⠹⡝⣍⡆⡟⡍⡏⡍⠛⣍⡏⣛⠉⣿⡅⡝⣝⠏⠙⡍⣹⡏⢉⠀⡋⢩⢸⢩⢹⠫⢩⣿⠧⠹⡇⣾⡟⣍⢫⡙⡋⢩⢸⠩⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣷⣶⣷⣷⣶⣇⣲⣷⣶⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣷⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣐⣸⣷⣾⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣭⣯⣉⣉⣭⣏⣉⢋⢻⣉⣭⣉⣙⣏⣋⣉⣏⣉⣉⣍⣯⣩⣉⣏⣉⣉⣹⣉⣹⣉⣋⣩⣽⣉⣉⣏⣹⣩⣯⣩⣍⣙⣩⣏⣙⣹⣉⣉⣉⣍⣉⣯⣹⣉⣙⣩⣏⣋⣉⣹⣋⣙⣍⣯⣍⣏⣉⣹⣉⣍⣉⣭⠩⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣝⣉⣝⣻⣯⣿⢛⣝⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⠿⡿⠿⢿⠿⠿⢿⢿⠿⠿⠿⢿⡿⠿⡿⠿⣿⡿⠿⠿⢿⠿⢿⢿⠿⠿⡿⠿⣿⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⢿⠿⣿⣿⠿⢿⡿⣿⠿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1131 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/05/31/Over_at_Tux_Machines.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/05/31/Over_at_Tux_Machines.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Over at Tux Machines...⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 31, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Geese Drinking Water⦈ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Geese_Drinking_Water⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ 1. ⚓ The_Next_Ten_Years:_Promoting_Software_Freedom,_Exposing_Abuse [original]⠀⇛ To me, the near-term future is clear (I said the same in a blog post when I turned 40); I need to – not only want to – promote Software Freedom and justice.

passing at least, that Dr. Stallman has another big talk coming up, predating the_one_in_Erlangen. His Web site says: Richard Stallman will speak in Bern, Switzerland, on June 12 at 12: 00, for SBB, the Swiss railroads. The public is invited. Title: Freie/Libre/Libero/Liber Software, for Sovereignty and Freedom Free software enables all kinds of users to use computers in freedom, escaping the abusive power that nonfree software's owners exercise over its users. Language: English Location: HS1 Auditorium Hilfikerstrasse 1 3014 Bern Time: 12:00 presentation 13:00 questions 13:25 auction 13:30 more questions As usual, the event will have around an hour of presentation followed by around an hour of Q&A. We suggest you bring cash. It was also announced_in_his_'blog'. He gave a talk in Bern earlier this year [1, 2, 3] and he probably likes the place. Last year we explained why the Swiss people aren't too keen on "cancel culture". █ * Gravitating_Towards_What_Your_Role_in_Society_May_Be_(or_What_You're Truly_Good_At) * IBM_Red_Hat_Has_a_Long_History_or_Track_Record_of_Misusing_Trademarks_to Send_Lawyers_to_Try_to_Take_Down_Pages_and_Web_Sites_of_Critics ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶ ⣗⣳⣟⣟⣟⣿⣛⣟⣟⣿⣛⣇⣀⣉⣹⣘⣻⣾⣟⣿⢹⣏⣉⣉⣇⣉⣟⣉⡩⣹⣙⣳⣟⣈⣉⣻⣻⣟⣻⣻⣋⣛⡿⣑⣟⣋⣉⣉⣏⣭⣹⣟⣋⣟⣉⣟⣍⣙⣹⣟⣛⡏⢙⣻⣻⣟⣟⣟⣏⣹⣩⡟⣙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠿⣿⡿⠿⢿⡿⣿⢿⠿⠿⢿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣧⣭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠀⠁⠀⠉⠀⠀⠉⠁⠈⠉⠩⠭⠬⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⣉⠰⠩⠉⠉⡭⣿⠭⡍⢙⠩⡍⠉⠭⠹⠨⣿⠰⣜⠍⡇⠇⡇⠇⡏⢽⠉⠇⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣄⣖⡶⢾⢿⢿⠿⡿⢿⠿⡿⢿⡿⡿⡟⣻⠿⢿⣿⣶⣶⣦⣬⣍⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢿⡿⡿⡟⡿⢿⢿⣿⣿⢿⠿⠿⠟⣿⡟⢿⡿⡿⢿⢿⢿⢿⣟⡻⢿⠿⡿⠿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡛⠹⠯⠴⠽⢵⣭⣥⣽⣤⣯⣼⣧⣧⣥⣥⣥⠼⠿⠿⠟⠛⣛⣩⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣷⣷⣵⣧⣧⣽⣤⣿⣮⣬⣬⣴⣥⣿⣯⣧⣷⣽⣧⣶⣧⣼⣯⣽⣽⣬⣧⣧⣬⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⠶⡶⡶⡶⡶⣶⣶⢶⣶⡶⠶⠶⢶⡿⣿⢿⣿⡿⡿⠿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⡿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣯⣬⣯⠥⡥⡯⣿⠤⢯⢽⡯⡧⣾⡼⠧⢽⢥⣬⣭⣭⠭⢭⡥⡤⣤⣽⠿⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣧⣧⣿⣴⣵⣵⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⡤⡭⡥⣥⣭⡥⡬⡭⠭⣭⣭⡭⡧⡬⣥⣬⢭⠡⠿⠷⠾⠷⣿⡟⠿⢷⣾⣷⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡻⡻⠿⣿⢿⠿⢿⡿⡿⢿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⡿⡿⡿⣿⠿⠿⡟⠿⡿⠿⣻⠿⡿⠿⠿⢿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⠿⡾⢾⠼⠟⠿⠶⠾⣾⡽⡷⡿⣶⠚⠿⢿⢷⢷⠿⠶⢾⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⢾⣿⣿⡷⠿⠻⠿⢿⡷⠾⠿⠾⠶⠶⠿⠿⠿⠿⠴⠷⠷⠾⠿⠶⠿⠿⣿⣷⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⣶⣤⣾⣷⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⣿⣿⣶⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⢒⣋⣠⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣬⣭⣉⣛⠛⠿⢿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣟⣿⢛⡻⣻⣻⣻⢛⣿⢿⣻⣿⣟⢛⣻⣻⣛⣟⣟⡟⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣋⣴⡒⣻⢿⡟⢿⡟⡿⢿⡟⢻⠿⡿⡿⢿⣿⠛⡿⢿⢻⢻⢿⡿⠿⣻⡿⢿⡿⢿⡿⣿⠿⣿⢻⡿⡿⠷⣶⣌ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠿⣿⡷⡷⣾⣷⣾⣷⣿⣾⣷⣷⣾⣿⣿⣮⣿⣾⣷⣿⣾⣾⣿⣷⣾⣿⣷⣾⣷⣾⣷⣿⣶⣯⣼⣶⣿⣶⣿⡿ ⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣩⣭⣏⣏⣯⣿⣏⣙⣹⣯⣭⣯⣯⣿⣙⣽⣿⡏⠯⠏⠯⠟⠿⠯⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣬⣁⡉⠸⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⣋⣩⣴ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠥⠯⠭⡯⡯⠯⣿⠟⠿⠽⠍⠩⠉⠭⢝⣟⣭⣽⢿⣿⣉⣉⣿⣏⣽⣋⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣷⣼⣤⣴⣦⣠⣭⣤⣀⣉⣈⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⠛⠛⢛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣋⣉⣉⣩⣭⣥⣤⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⣼⣷⣗⣙⣏⣉⣯⣩⣯⣹⣐⣉⣈⣉⣉⣸⣉⣵⣧⣊⡉⢡⣭⣫⣫⣭⣈⡉⢹⣉⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣜⣜⣘⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⢴⣵⣴⣥⣶⣤⣧⣶⣼⣼⣀⣶⡤⣼⣤⣗⣑⢛⢛⡛⣚⣃⣚⣒⡺⢿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⡵⢾⣥⣤⠤⡼⢯⣿⣯⣿⠥⡤⢟⣯⣿⡿⢿⡽⢽⣧⣴⣭⣼⣭⠧⣦⣦⣬⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣾⣾⣷⣤⡤⣼⣤⣼⣤⣤⢧⣷⣷⣿⣶⣷⣥⣶⣿⣾⣤⣤⣤⣴⣿⣾⣾⣴⣦⣥⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⢥⣤⣴⣽⣯⣥⣤⣤⣴⣭⣦⣥⡤⡤⢵⣧⣤⣤⢯⣭⣧⣽⣤⣽⣼⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣥⣼⣤⣤⣤⣶⣦⣤⣼⣾⣾⣦⣮⣤⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣴⣧⣦⣦⣽⣽⣭⣵⣾⣤⣤⣤⣯⣾⣧⣤⣤⣤⣬⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠿⢿⢿⢿⢿⠿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⠿⢿⢿⠿⡿⡿⡿⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣾⣷⣽⣽⣿⣾⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣽⣼⣈⣧⣤⢯⣬⣼⣧⣮⣤⣼⣤⣧⡧⣼⢇⣬⣥⣬⣥⣿⡵⡵⣯⣥⣬⣥⣤⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1601 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/05/31/SLAPP_Censorship_Part_93_Out_of_200_A_Blueprint_of_Reckless_Law.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/05/31/SLAPP_Censorship_Part_93_Out_of_200_A_Blueprint_of_Reckless_Law.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ SLAPP Censorship - Part 93 Out of 200: A Blueprint of Reckless Lawfare in the UK, Waged and Funded by Americans (in Another Continent)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 31, 2026 Lawfare powered by slop companies (including Microsoft) from America, targetting British people who consistently oppose slop because it's objectively terrible Last month we went to London and a month earlier we published an article about online_abuse. A day after we came back from London we published this_part about "Americans (Microsoft) Who Tell Women to Kill Themselves" (we're not dealing with sane people, are we?) and we've since then spoken to the police many times. It's like we've become the target not in the litigation sense alone. With legal_bills_paid_by_third_parties, which is no joking matter, maybe they even do group calls with Garrett and Graveley this month... in the same session (same barrister and lawyer too) to figure out how to "take out" their critics while death_threats_are_sent_their_way (the police is still investigating). They are definitely coordinating it all this month, based on rather_obvious observations. Remember those people aren't from here, they are from an utterly dysfunctional country with a legal system where attorneys_can_"legally"_bribe officials_($11,000_for_one_person!). Free Speech in the US means "bribing officials"; that's what freedom means to them, whereas freedom_of_the_press_is crushed and then they export_this_to_other_continents, following their_dictator who_rapes_women. Their sessions are organised_by_a_Director_who_fancies_"jokes" about_punching_trans_people and who moreover defames_trans_people_on_Garrett's payroll. They seem to believe that violence is a joke. "Hahaha, so funny !!" We adopted the correct approach this year. We must protect victims of violence by men and also our whistleblowers who make enormous sacrifices and take risk to inform others, potentially preventing further abuse. This irritates corrupt people who attack women. It makes us loathsome to them. Then my_wife_Rianne_becomes_their_target. They seem to specifically target her, not me, to "get at her husband". Lawyers have repeatedly said this to us. The Americans who do this are so reprehensible that they probably think women are just something for them to drug and abuse. My wife Rianne has meanwhile noticed that they have intentionally omitted the most relevant and critical communications from her and from me; and have thus misled the Court about our position. She sent this_before_Christmas and earlier in the same month I told the Court that they had intentionally lied to the Court about my position. I told the Court this wasn't the first time, either. It should be noted that they a have long history of omitting our side by intention or blatantly misrepresenting our position to give the Court a wrong idea on the most critical things. That's_aside_from_all_sorts_of_other_severe issues. This isn't about justice; they're gaming the system! Set aside the docket-stuffing, death threats, maybe_more. Thankfully our politicians pay close attention, including_the_most distinguished_ministers. They wish to curb the SLAPP_industry, as they recognise they're a risk_to_our_sovereignty and it has_gone_too_far. Generally speaking, it is widely known all around the world for several centuries that when people expose crimes the criminals they expose try to portray their exposers as "criminals"; if it's in some place like Mexico, they can get killed; in civilised countries they use other means, including death threats (or spending a million bucks on lawyers, volleying over 85 KG of legal papers to the reporters and even relatives of theirs, i.e. lawfare). █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Suing people (man and his wife in another continent) with third party funding and man who strangles women is 'mostly funny'⦈

terminal interface for Taskwarrior written in Go using the Bubble Tea framework. It displays your tasks in a table and allows you to manage them without leaving your keyboard. # ⚓ Backup_vs._Mirror⠀⇛ rsync has somehow gotten itself into the chatcycle, and maybe not in a good way. The particular point here is that a mirror is not a backup. Consider the following timeline: TUE file is accidentally corrupted WED a mirror is done to "backup" the filesystem THU file is discovered to be corrupted The problem here is that you need to remember that a file was corrupted before the next mirror is done, as following the mirror the mirror will also have the corrupted file, whoops. A mirror can work if you push an entire version control repository (that has local history) as in that case you can `git bisect` or whatever to work out the last version of the file prior to the corruption. A proper backup with depth works in a similar way by providing the depth or delta of changes so the pre- corruption-Tuesday version of the file can (probably) be obtained. # ⚓ Haiku⠀⇛ Carefully smiling from out a dirty window – on another bus. # ⚓ tapping⠀⇛ tapping is a guitar technique where your strumming hand joins your other hand on the fretboard, using hammer-ons and pull-offs to continue phrases without any normal strumming or picking. it lets you do some pretty complex riffs, since you don't have to slide and contort your fretting hand to move across the neck, and sounds pretty dang cool.

People have been contributing to FLOSS for decades. It has had its highs and lows. Giants such as Microsoft have been trying to undermine the movement by buying FLOSS products, orient developments, flood maintainers with issues they should have patched themselves or even by replacing the community's tools with their own (looking at you VS Code, among others). But these days, something feels a bit different to me, and I'm not talking about companies but about us, developers. [...] Just like Google services before (and continuing) or Microsoft document formats, slopware has become virtually impossible to escape, from being forced to use it at work to not get fired to updating your OS and get little an AI commit as a treat. VIM itself now ships with AI-written code. Even though I took some time to talk about AI adoption in FLOSS projects, this entry is not just a rant about that new shiny tool ruining my hobby. What I want to talk about is who is embracing it, why, what it says about FLOSS and what the consequences are for everyone. # § Slop⠀➾ # ⚓ `gt`_calculator_-_a_calculator_built_with_local_LLMs [Ed: Slop = worthless stuff, done again while wasting lots of power and water. It looks like even this intro (text) is LLM slop.]⠀⇛ I created a calculator. Not because the world needed another one, but because I wanted to test something: how well do local LLMs hold up as pair programmers on a real project? The answer is: well enough for small projects like this. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Given the last 80-odd years of technological development, their revolutionary work should be within the realms of a student project — which it was, specifically in ECE 5760 at Cornell University. The work was done by [Erica Jiang], [Kelvin Resch], and [Isabella Frank]. # ⚓ Fabian “ryg” Giesen ☛ Simple_batch_decoding_of_unary codes⠀⇛ In this post, I want to consider the case where we’re decoding a bunch of unary-coded values in a row. For the sake of concreteness, let’s consider an actual decoder that uses LSB-first bit packing and a Little Endian byte stream, using variant 4 from “Reading bits in far too many ways (part 2)”. That decoder will usually look something like this on a 64-bit platform: [...] # ⚓ Fabian “ryg” Giesen ☛ Why_does_ASTC_use_ISE_when_almost nothing_else_does?⠀⇛ The ASTC texture compression format has its “integer sequence encoding” to send small integers with a uniform probability distribution within their range. When that value range is [0,2k-1] for some integer k, this is straightforward: just send the values with k bits each. But ISE ups the ante by supporting not just power-of-2 sizes ranges, but also allowing a single prime factor of either 3 or 5 in the size of the range. So we can, for example, have some value x in the range [0,95], 96 total, where the low 5 bits are sent regularly, and then we have the “high trits” ⌊x/32⌋ that are always in the range [0,2]. When the extra prime factor is 3, these trits are arranged in groups of 5. The number of possible combinations of 5 values in the range [0,2] is 35 = 243 < 256, so we can encode our 5 values in 8 bits. For 5 values in the range [0,95], that means we spend 5*5 + 8 = 33 bits; had we just used regular binary instead, we would have probably rounded up to 7 bits per value, so our 5 values would take 5*7 = 35 bits. There we go, 2 bits saved over 5 values, about 2/5 = 0.4 bits per symbol, so why even ask the question in the title? # ⚓ John D Cook ☛ Spot_checking_polynomial_identities⠀⇛ If a polynomial identity holds at a few random points, it’s very like true. We’ll make this statement more precise, but first let’s look at some applications. You may want to test an identity that naturally presents itself as a statement that two polynomials are equal. Or you might use something like the binomial coefficient trick to reframe a problem isn’t obviously an identity about polynomials. And with algebraic circuits, you can reformulate a wide range of computations as polynomial identities; this is widely used in zero-knowledge proofs. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ The Next Move ☛ What’s_the_Point_of_Elite_Universities?⠀⇛ We know firsthand that the elite university may teach students how to be exceptional, but it does not necessarily show them how to be good. It is a reality that many of the people who pass through these schools’ hallowed halls end up wielding great influence in politics, business, and media. It follows that top-ranked universities also have an outsized responsibility to the public. # ⚓ Jeff Kaufman ☛ Tween_Contra_Dance⠀⇛ My older two kids (12y, 10y) like contra dancing, but but have been increasingly unhappy with the available opportunities: a family dance is "too boring", and BIDA is "not enough kids my age". What they wanted was a regular dance, but just kids. So we had one! # ⚓ The New Leaf Journal ☛ Replace_Yourself_With_a_Human,_Not Bot⠀⇛ We now come full circle. When I read about the now- former Baidu employee replacing himself with AI, I thought of that time that I replaced myself in Math B with a classmate, who was of course a human- being. The big tech titans and AI merchants want you to think that you can only replace yourself with a chatbot. But let my story stand as proof that it is possible to replace yourself humanely—with a flesh-and-blood human being instead of a chatbot. That is how we replaced ourselves back in my day. If you ever find yourself needing to replace “you,” look at the world around you instead of pulling out your phone and prompting ChatGPT, Claude, Ernie, or whatever nonsense Spotify may be offering these days. Have the courage to ask a friend, peer, or co-worker to be you. The worst case scenario is that your would-be replacement tells you something to the effect of “Idunnobout-thaaat.” But sometimes that person will agree and then tell someone who challenges “him or her” about being “you”: “Idunnobout-thaaat.” o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Microchip_dsPIC33CK_low-cost_motor_control MCU_sells_for_$0.51_and_up⠀⇛ Microchip has expanded its dsPIC33 lineup with the dsPIC33CK Value Line family, a new series of low- cost 16-bit digital signal controllers (DSCs) designed for motor control applications. The devices deliver up to 100 MIPS of deterministic performance and integrate high-resolution PWM and a 12-bit ADC, making them suitable for motor Field- Oriented Control (FOC) and precision sensing tasks. These DSCs are designed to bridge the gap between basic microcontrollers and higher-end dsPIC33A devices. It offers flash memory from 32 KB to 256 KB, supports function consolidation to reduce component count and BOM cost, and is available in automotive-grade (AEC-Q100 Grade 1) versions with secure boot. # ⚓ Ken Shirriff ☛ Microcode_inside_the_Intel_8087_floating- point_chip:_register_exchange⠀⇛ In 1980, Intel introduced the 8087 floating-point chip, a co-processor that made floating-point operations up to 100 times faster. This chip was highly influential, and today most processors use the floating-point standard introduced by the 8087. The 8087 uses complicated algorithms to accurately compute functions such as square roots, tangents, and exponentials. These algorithms are implemented inside the chip in low-level code called microcode. I'm part of a group, the Opcode Collective, that is reverse-engineering this microcode. In this post, I take a close look at the microcode for one of the 8087's instructions—FXCH—and explain how the microcode works. The FXCH (Floating-point Exchange) instruction exchanges two floating-point registers. You might expect this instruction to be trivial, but there's more going on than you might expect; the microcode uses 14 micro-instructions to implement the exchange instruction. # ⚓ Old VCR ☛ Ahoy,_DECmate_II!_the_little_PDP-8_that_could⠀⇛ In 1982, as we mentioned at length with our history of the DEC Professional, Digital Equipment Corporation attempted to keep their PDP-11 minicomputer market-relevant by turning the venerable architecture into a largely incompatible desktop microcomputer. But that wasn't the only PDP-series mini it happened to, and it wasn't even the first: the PDP-8 actually got the shrink-ray treatment several years before, and not content to merely make it into a smaller general purpose computer, DEC turned it into a word processor. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-05-23_[Older]_Thailand_revives_bill to_clear_the_air_of_toxic_smog⠀⇛ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Dihydroxyacetone_Man’s_Boat_Strikes_Have Failed_to_Curb_Cocaine_Flow_to_U.S.,_Experts_Say⠀⇛ Despite the rising body count off the South American coast, researchers say cocaine is as easy to get in many parts of the United States as it was before the strikes began. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Age-Related_'Unraveling'_of_DNA_May_Be Reversible,_Study_Suggests⠀⇛ "Aging may be more plastic than we once believed." # ⚓ Levande kulturarv ☛ Spettkaka_-_Levande_kulturarv⠀⇛ Spettkaka should ideally be eaten while fresh, as the dry consistency of the cake makes it sensitive to moisture. It is a festive dessert that is served on special occasions, usually with coffee. When serving the cake, squares resembling small windows are cut out of the cake. The upper part of the cake should be saved to last, according to tradition. # ⚓ Cookipedia ☛ Skånsk_spettekaka_(Scania_pyramid_cake)⠀⇛ It was during the latter half of the 17th century that pyramid cakes were first made in Sweden, but then it was only the wealthy who could afford this delicacy. Not until the 19th century and early 20th century did pyramid cake become more common among ordinary people. In Scania there were often towns with a pyramid cake bakery where one could leave one's own eggs to be baked into a cake for a wedding, christening or some other festivity. Even at funerals one might find a pyramid cake on the table, hung with mourning crapes. # ⚓ Vox ☛ Millions_of_Americans_are_going_to_lose_health insurance_or_Medicaid⠀⇛ As a result, millions of Americans are dropping their health insurance this year, and millions more are expected to lose their coverage in the years to come. The uninsured rate has spiked before, but it’s usually the byproduct of an economic crisis; people lose their jobs, and they lose their coverage. What makes the current turmoil different is that it is entirely a matter of policy choices. Now, millions of Americans will pay the price. “I don’t think there’s any historical precedent for the rollback in federal support for health coverage coming with the cuts in Medicaid plus the expiration of enhanced ACA premium subsidies,” Larry Levitt, executive vice president for health policy at the healthcare think tank KFF, told me. “The expected effects of OBBBA on coverage are self-inflicted and dwarf even the historical losses due to changes in the economy.” # ⚓ Akseli Lahtinen ☛ Minimizing_impact_of_negative_things_in my_life⠀⇛ For example, when moving my email from gmail to my own domain, what I did was make gmail redirect the mails to the new one. Then every time I got an email, I moved only that email. Eventually all things I need are in my real email, and gmail is now very insignificant for me. When it comes to things that are harmful to me in larger scale, such as bad corporations ruining things as they like to do, all I can really do is minimize my dependency and interactions with that thing. There are very bad things out there, so if I can, I just won't use their stuff. o § Proprietary / SaaS⠀➾ # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Microsoft_is_threatening_legal_action_for disclosing_exploits⠀⇛ Microsoft is facing criticism for its handling of zero-day exploits. Someone going by the name Nightmare Eclipse has been publicly feuding with the company, posting proof-of-concept exploit code. Some of their posts suggest that they’re a disgruntled former employee. But what caught cyber security researcher Kevin Beaumont’s eye was how Microsoft has responded. Microsoft suggests it plans to bring a criminal case against Nightmare Eclipse for failing to follow “proper coordination” in disclosing vulnerabilities. They also disabled Nightmare Eclipse’s GitHub, GitLab, and Microsoft Security Response Center accounts disabled. As Beaumont points out, “It’s quite difficult to ‘responsibly’ report future vulnerabilities when you have been banned.” # ⚓ Android Police ☛ If_Google_nails_the_Googlebook,_I'm_gonna ditch_my_Windows_laptop⠀⇛ The Googlebook is not just a more modern and more expensive Chromebook slapped with a new banner. Google is positioning it as a much better bridge between your Android phone and a proper laptop experience. Early details look promising. For the first time, I am seriously considering that a Googlebook might finally replace my Windows laptop and feel like a true extension of my Pixel. But will it? # § So-Called 'Artificial Intelligence' ('AI') / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ No,_Not_That_Georgia._Hey_Hi_(AI) Compounds_a_Nation’s_Identity_Woes.⠀⇛ Online queries are more likely to turn up references to the U.S. state — a problem for the republic in the Caucasus and its people. But a move to drop the name “Georgia” has lost steam. # ⚓ Alexandre Oliva ☛ TestIfAILures⠀⇛ It all started with innocent questions. Soon I realized we were best friends already. Then we became coworkers at a startup. Pair programming with my best friend! Tons of code for me to nod along with. If there was any problem, the tests would catch it. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Harvard_Graduation_Speaker_Unloads_on_AI in_Profanity-Loaded_Tirade,_Prompting_Cheers_From Students:_"I'm_Here_to_Tell_You_the_Mission_of_Your Generation_Is_to_Destroy_AI"⠀⇛ “Can I just say f*** AI, f*** AI, f*** AI?” Chieng said, triggering rapturous applause. “I’m glad you agree. It’s so stupid. A lot of other respected graduation speakers at colleges around America are talking about you guys needing to master AI for the future.” “I’m here to tell you the mission of your generation is to destroy AI,” he told a far more receptive crowd. # ⚓ [Repeat] Futurism ☛ Corporations_Reeling_From_Huge_AI Costs_With_No_Clear_Benefits⠀⇛ Costs to access powerful AI tools are soaring, forcing company leaders to ask some difficult questions. As Axios reports, the early warning signs are already here, with Microsoft planning to remove its Anthropic Claude Code licenses after opening up access to the tool just six months ago, reportedly for financial reasons. Uber COO Andrew Macdonald also admitted during a recent podcast appearance that gains in productivity simply weren’t being reflected in the company’s soaring AI-related expenses. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ A_robot_startup_is_wreaking_havoc_on short-term_rentals_in_San_Francisco_—_Airbnb_hosts allege_'guests'_secretly_tested_robots_indoors,_left the_units_completely_trashed⠀⇛ A $2 billion San Fransico startup called "The Bot Company" seems to be secretly testing robots in short-term rentals. Multiple Airbnb hosts report their units have been left in poor condition, with similar signs of damage forming a pattern across the area. One host in particular, Sean Donovan, is even suing for $12,383.50 in damages and lost income stemming from a commercial booking. The Bot Company hasn't responded so far. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Exploit_Code_Published_for_Critical Flowise_RCE_Vulnerability⠀⇛ The issue, tracked as CVE-2026-40933 (CVSS score of 9.9), was disclosed in April along with several other security defects impacting AI ecosystems that rely on Anthropic’s MCP protocol. Flowise, a popular open source platform that provides developers with a drag-and-drop interface for building LLM flows and AI agents, and which has over 52,000 GitHub stars, was flagged as one of the impacted products. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ AI_grifters_are_creating_fake_Black people_to_sell_Shein_junk⠀⇛ But Aliyah isn’t real, and neither are her supposedly handmade products — she’s one of many AI-generated influencers created to sell mass-produced products via dropshipping on TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram. Identical belt buckles — sunflower design, detachable knife inlay, and all — are sold on the fast- fashion site Shein, and for a quarter of the price. # ⚓ Josep Bigorra ☛ AI_Policy⠀⇛ This AI policy establishes safe guardrails for the jointhefreeworld project. It outlines our preferred workflows, defines the boundaries of acceptable AI tool usage, and explains the reasoning behind these choices. Our core principle is simple: AI should assist human creativity and problem-solving, never replace human reasoning. # ⚓ Tracy Durnell ☛ Imagining_human-oriented_online posts⠀⇛ I encountered a proposition that form and style are the aspects of writing that an LLM cannot mimic, thus human writers may start innovating on form as a way to compete in an oversaturated writing market (and demonstrate their humanity). But that got me thinking beyond the style and structure of writing (e.g. listicle, poem, autofiction) to the structure of a post: what might novel human-oriented online formats look like? How can indie self-publishers signal that our work is authentic and connect with human readers through our personal websites? The indie web is the avant-garde of modern publishing, and there’s so much more we could explore. Human-oriented could mean using techniques to limit bot access and encourage human access, or writing in a way that is only legible to humans, or interactive posts that emphasize the human connection between writer and reader. # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ Test_software_tells_code_bots_‘delete me’_—_AI_bros_outraged⠀⇛ You are not supposed to use jqwik with your coding bot. AI bros are chronic parasites on open source software. Their bots hammer the websites. They spam projects with AI-generated bug reports, a few of which may be useful, but most are not. On average, AI bros are not useful guys to have anywhere near your project. An AI bro ignored the documentation and used jqwik in his vibe-code project anyway. He discovered that, as of 23 May, jqwik adds an information-level message in the log: # ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Why_GPT-5.4,_Claude,_and_Gemini_can't agree_on_basic,_real-world_facts⠀⇛ An analysis published this month on the claim-verification platform Lenz found that across 1,000 recent real-user fact-check claims — statements about the world asserted as true — a panel of five frontier LLMs split on 67% of them, meaning at least one model dissented from the majority verdict, or no clear majority formed at all. # ⚓ Heise ☛ AI_code_increasingly_leads_to_production failures⠀⇛ In a study by the software company CloudBees, more than 200 technology executives were surveyed about the use of AI in their companies. 81 percent reported problems such as functional errors, security vulnerabilities, and performance issues after deployment that are related to AI-generated code. 63 percent additionally reported compliance violations caused by the AI. These also sometimes made their way into productive business. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Tech_CEOs_Have_a_Problem:_Even_Their Closest_Allies_Now_See_AI_as_a_Sign_of_Laziness_and Dishonesty⠀⇛ “I have never knowingly finished reading an email signed by a human but written by AI,” Graham added. “It feels like being lied to, and who would stand for that?” This should be a warning sign to tech CEOs, if they’re not too busy getting obsequious advice from a chatbot to notice. Graham, whose word goes far in tech circles, has historically been a major AI booster and investor. Just last month, he proclaimed that AI was the “biggest opportunity for would-be startup founders.” That makes his latest musings distinctly ironic, but all the same, if even someone who’s advocated for AI’s revolutionary power has already turned heel and decided that it reflects negatively on the person using it, it doesn’t bode well for tech’s long-term image. # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ The_hidden_cost_of social_media_age_bans_is_everyone's_privacy⠀⇛ Once governments require social media companies to block younger users, they must also create systems capable of determining who is old enough to gain access. This transforms what initially appears to be a child-protection measure into a much broader question about privacy, anonymity, surveillance and the future architecture of the [Internet] itself. o § Privatisation/Privateering⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Jeff_Bezos'_Rocket_Explodes_Into_Mushroom_Cloud, Dealing_Massive_Blow_to_NASA's_Moon_Plans⠀⇛ During a wet dress rehearsal at the Space Force Station in Cape Canaveral on Thursday evening, the company’s New Glenn rocket exploded in dramatic fashion. Footage shows an enormous fireball engulfing the entire launch pad, a sight visible from far away. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ What’s_Next_for_Blue_Origin_After_Rocket Explosion⠀⇛ NASA gave the rocket a vote of confidence earlier this week with a bigger role in the agency’s Artemis return-to-the-moon program, and Amazon had 48 of its satellites ready to hitch a ride into orbit in its race to compete with SpaceX’s Starlink [Internet] service. Then, around 9 p.m. on Thursday, New Glenn erupted into a fireball on its launchpad during a test. “This is a big, collective gasp and setback,” said Chad Anderson, a start-up investor at the venture capital firm Space Capital. # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ Watch:_Bezos_rocket_erupts_in fireball_during_ground_test⠀⇛ Video posted by NasaSpaceflight, a YouTube channel that livestreams launches from Florida, showed the New Glenn igniting on the pad at about 3am SAST (9pm local time) before erupting into a massive fireball that billowed skyward, sending a towering plume of flames and smoke into the air. # ⚓ Interesting Engineering ☛ Jeff_Bezos'_321-foot_rocket erupts_in_fireball_during_launch_pad_test⠀⇛ The explosion marks another difficult moment for the New Glenn program, which has already faced technical problems during recent missions. The 321- foot-tall rocket was grounded in April after an engine failure caused a satellite payload to end up in the wrong orbit. The incident happened during only the third flight campaign involving the heavy-lift vehicle. Blue Origin developed New Glenn to compete with other large rockets in the commercial space market and to support future NASA lunar missions. # ⚓ Deseret Media ☛ Blue_Origin_faces_months_of_delays_after rocket_explosion_damages_launch_pad⠀⇛ The mishap, which occurred during a test fire of the engines for the New Glenn rocket's launch next week, comes at a critical time for Jeff Bezos' business empire. His companies, Blue Origin and ‌Amazon, are seeking to establish themselves as viable challengers in the heavy-lift and global satellite [Internet] network industries, competing with Elon Musk's SpaceX. Thursday's setback could also complicate NASA's lunar ambitions. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Woman_Alarmed_When_Her_Trusted_Therapist Starts_Recording_Her_With_AI⠀⇛ “The more I thought about it, the more I just started getting more and more sick to my stomach,” she told NPR. “This person who I’m supposed to be able to trust with some very private and very intense emotions had just completely disregarded something I said I was not comfortable with. I felt completely violated.” Though her therapist offered to stop using the AI tool, Quinn cut her off and found another one. “The trust was gone,” she told NPR. # ⚓ NPR ☛ Therapists_are_using_AI_to_take_notes._Is_it_a useful_tool_or_a_breach_of_trust?⠀⇛ "The more I thought about it, the more I just started getting more and more sick to my stomach," she says. "This person who I'm supposed to be able to trust with some very private and very intense emotions had just completely disregarded something I said I was not comfortable with. I felt completely violated." # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Rob_Bonta_sues_23andMe’s_new_owners over_2023_breach⠀⇛ Bonta and his team claim [PDF] that 23andMe failed to implement adequate security controls for the sensitive records it stored, and misled customers about the nature of the mishap after the fact. # ⚓ Jamie Zawinski ☛ Fluck_Flock⠀⇛ "At the rate that they're losing contracts, this is a big piece of evidence that they're panicking," Hofer said. # ⚓ Oakland, California ☛ Flock_is_quietly_training police_to_sway_city_leaders_to_buy_surveillance_tech⠀⇛ Last week, Flock Safety, the Atlanta-based company that has built a national network of license plate surveillance cameras that feed data to local police — including nearly 300 scanners in Oakland — hosted a private virtual training session for law enforcement officers. The 60-minute webinar was billed as a chance for officers to learn how to speak to city councils about Flock’s technology. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ France24 ☛ War_in_Lebanon:_Cultural_heritage_at_risk⠀⇛ Churches, mosques, and archaeological sites: In its widespread demolition campaign in southern Lebanon, the Israeli military is accused of also destroying cultural and religious heritage. The devastation has been documented by the NGO Green Southerners, which denounces the actions as a direct attack on the historic bond between local residents and their land. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Vietnam’s_Leader_Warns_Asia_About_the Risks_of_Superpower_Conflict⠀⇛ In a speech to military leaders from the region, To Lam said that distrust and a lack of respect for established rules had created a culture of “the big fish swallowing the small fish.” # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ China_is_building_launch_pads_near_its nuclear_missile_silos⠀⇛ It signals a significant upgrade in Beijing’s efforts to ensure second-strike capability. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Palestinians_mourn_10_killed_in_Eid_strikes_as Netanyahu_vows_wider_control_of_Gaza⠀⇛ Dozens of Palestinians in Gaza City gathered on Thursday for funeral prayers for 10 people killed in Israeli strikes the night before, including five children and an elderly person, as well as a Hamas militant. More than 20 people were injured in the strikes, according to Shifa Hospital. Video from the scene showed flames pouring from an upper-floor window of a building, while bystanders rushed to carry wounded people, including children, to ambulances. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Independent_cyber_audit_finds_zero_malware or_backdoors_in_DJI_drones_—_U.S._firm's_hardware_analysis challenges_FCC_ban_amid_ongoing_$1.56_billion_legal_battle⠀⇛ DJI has published the results of an independent security assessment by U.S. cybersecurity firm OnDefend. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Does_Convicted_Felon_Want_to_Lose_the Midterms?⠀⇛ The president doesn’t seem that concerned that his party could lose control of Congress.

Stockholm says the jets will be delivered by early 2027. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Fuel_crisis_hits_occupied_Crimea_as_Ukrainian drones_restrict_overland_supply_route⠀⇛ The fuel crisis in Crimea began after Ukrainian drone strikes restricted traffic along the so- called land bridge into the peninsula, the independent Russian news outlet Agentstvo reported. The route through Russia’s 2022 territorial gains had been one of Crimea’s main fuel arteries. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Social_media_companies_pay_$27_million_to settle_Kentucky_school_district's_lawsuit_over_social_media harms,_records_show⠀⇛ A Kentucky school district secured approximately $27 million ​in settlements from social media companies over claims they ​fueled a student mental-health crisis, with Meta Platforms paying the largest amount at $9 million, according to records ​seen by Reuters on Friday that reveal the settlement's financial terms for the first time. # ⚓ Greece ☛ Remembering_the_Fall_of_Constantinople_in Mystras⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Congress_Is_Poised_to_Integrate_US_and_Israeli Militaries_More_Closely_Than_Ever⠀⇛ If fully enacted, this proposal would provide a higher level of military-industrial integration than the U.S. has with any other country in the world. To be sure, the U.S. has worked closely with its NATO partners on co-production and shared supply chains, most notably via the Defence Production Action Plan. And, as the number one arms dealer in the world, the U.S. provides weapons to militaries across the globe. But that is mostly a one-way street, with the U.S. providing weapons to foreign buyers who only occasionally make parts for those weapons themselves, as in the case of the F- 35’s global supply chain. # ⚓ Vox ☛ America,_Actually:_Why_Democrats_can’t_sell_America on_“democracy”⠀⇛ In short, Trump is behaving less like a democratically elected leader — and more like an authoritarian — than ever. At the same time, the Democrats’ “save democracy” message seems to have hit a brick wall, and issues like tackling affordability and the cost of living are rising on the priority list. I don’t think that’s because Americans don’t care about democracy. I think it’s because they want to see the system improved, not just protected. More than 60 percent of Americans are unsatisfied with democracy as-is, per Gallup polling. And all across the country, I hear the desire for more creativity from both parties in proposing solutions to the major issues driving our politics, as well as a call to improve democracy by making it more responsive to everyday people. So much of the current malaise is driven by an electorate that feels without agency, written out of the process in selecting the president (the Electoral College), in Congress (gerrymandering), or in the Supreme Court (lifelong terms). So this week on the America, Actually podcast, I talked with Amy Walter, publisher and editor-in- chief of the Cook Political Report, about the state of Trump’s redistricting efforts and ways we can “improve” democracy, not just protect it. Here’s three things she pointed out: [...] # ⚓ Air Force Times ☛ ‘Scary_and_silencing’:_Troops,_families receive_threats_from_foreign_bad_actors⠀⇛ People have received threats through email, social media and text messages, and they appear to be coming from individuals connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Streyder said. But in some cases, she said, members of the IRGC have showed up at hotels in a nearby Gulf country, inquiring about U.S. service members who are temporarily staying there. # ⚓ The Next Move ☛ Trump_and_Xi:_A_One-Sided_Affair⠀⇛ At home, the two Trump terms have been a festival of lawlessness, vulgarity, and corruption. But our president’s sweetness on monstrous dictators may be the most painful thing about the whole ordeal. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_War_on_Terror⠀⇛ 9/11 was a conspiracy. It happened. The conspirators were named, the network was mapped, the protectors were identified. The documentary record is complete. The conspiracy that came next was different. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_1953_Coup_Never_Ended⠀⇛ The coup was not about communism. The coup was about oil. The Cold War frame was the cover story the apparatus needed to sell the operation to the American public and to itself. The actual transaction was simpler. The British wanted the oil back. The Americans wanted a stable client. Iranian democracy was the obstacle. So Iranian democracy was removed. The CIA acknowledged its role formally in 2013, sixty years later, in documents released to the National Security Archive at George Washington University under the Freedom of Information Act. The military coup, one of the internal histories says, was carried out under CIA direction as an act of US foreign policy. The agency that has spent seventy years describing itself as a defender of the free world wrote down, in its own files, that it overthrew an elected government to take a country’s oil. # ⚓ Robert Reich ☛ A_Truly_Amazing_Exercise_of_Justice⠀⇛ This is a big deal. Judge Williams’s decision came in response to court papers filed on Wednesday by a bipartisan group of 35 former federal judges who urged her to revive the case and dig into the details of the agreement to settle it. The judges’ brief is also a big deal. They call it a motion for relief from judgement or order or, alternatively, “leave to appear as amici curiae by thirty-five former federal judges.” I don’t recall a similar instance of 35 former federal judges filing such a motion or amicus (friend of the court) brief. # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ C4ISRNET ☛ How_Russia_is_turning_Ukraine’s_drones against_NATO⠀⇛ The jamming has been escalating for nearly three years, since Russia began disrupting signals around the 2023 NATO summit in Vilnius, and now spikes whenever Ukrainian drones fly toward Russian targets. “This is the new reality of what the Baltic states face,” Lithuanian Defense Minister Robertas Kaunas said last week. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ Russia_comes_after_Western_technology_as sanctions_squeeze_the_economy⠀⇛ In Sweden, Russia is targeting the defense industry and high-end research on the country's most advanced weaponry, such as the Gripen fighter jet, Mr. Wedelin said. It is also trying to procure camera and laser technology developed for civilian purposes that could be integrated into Russian weapons systems, he said. Moscow is also trying to steal technology to help it keep pace – or give it an edge – against the West in the decades ahead, said Juha Martelius, the director of Finland’s Security and Intelligence Service. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Russian_Drone_Hits_Romanian Apartment_Building,_Officials_Say⠀⇛ Romania is a NATO country, and the security alliance condemned “Russia’s recklessness” for an episode that sharply escalated tensions with Moscow. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Russian_Spies_Are_Aggressively Seeking_Western_Technology_as_Sanctions_Bite,_Officials Say⠀⇛ Russia’s intelligence agencies have grown more aggressive in their efforts to steal Western technology and defense secrets as sanctions squeeze the country’s wartime economy, three senior European intelligence officials told The Associated Press. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ TMZ ☛ Nancy_Mace_Says_Epstein_Files_Cost_Her_Donald_Trump's Endorsement⠀⇛ Then, Mace gets into Epstein ... writing, "I also know I put the likelihood of an endorsement on the line when I demanded transparency on the Epstein files. I demanded it because you deserved the truth - ALL OF IT - and as a survivor, I had to get justice for these women. If this is the price of an endorsement, I will never pay it." # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Ex-Prince_Andrew_Could_Be Next_Target_After_23_Epstein_Associates_Die,_Investigator Warns⠀⇛ Andrew, the disgraced former Duke of York, is seeking enhanced security at his Sandringham home after a masked man allegedly confronted him while he walked the late Queen's corgis earlier this month, amid warnings from a US investigator that he could be a 'target' in the sprawling Jeffrey Epstein scandal. The alarm has been sharpened by claims that 23 people with links to Epstein have died in disputed or unsettling circumstances, with private investigator Ed Opperman telling Globe Magazine that Andrew should be 'looking over his shoulder'. # ⚓ Allbritton Journalism Institute ☛ Bondi_Blames_Acting_AG Todd_Blanche_for_Epstein_Files_Controversies⠀⇛ Bondi, who left the Justice Department last month, spoke voluntarily with the House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into Epstein. Democratic lawmakers said the former attorney general was not willing to discuss Trump, instead repeatedly naming Todd Blanche, now the acting attorney general, as the person overseeing the release of the Epstein files. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_Conspiracy_Is_the_Cover_Story⠀⇛ The distinction is not subtle. The distinction is the difference between knowing how the world is run and pretending to know how the world is run. The distinction is the difference between Daniel Ellsberg and Alex Jones. The distinction is the difference between James Risen and Steve Bannon. The distinction is the difference between the Panama Papers and Q drops. But this is not a piece about that distinction. This is a piece about what the distinction is for. Because the distinction has a function, and the function is what I want to examine. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ CBC ☛ Wildfires_are_destroying_trees_faster_than_we_are replacing_them⠀⇛ In 2016, this forest in Manitoba's Interlake region, about 300 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg, was devastated by a jack pine budworm infestation. It was starting to regenerate when wildfire ravaged the Devils Lake area in 2021. Areas just north are already burning this spring. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ AI_and_data_sovereignty_in_Postgres:_An answer_to_the_datacenter_energy_crisis [Ed: But this_is_paid spam]⠀⇛ A typical new hyperscale datacenter can face grid- connection bottlenecks of up to seven years in certain markets, well before the necessary transmission, substations, generation capacity, and transformers are in place. McKinsey, meanwhile, estimates that global datacenter spending could reach $7 trillion by 2030 - a figure comparable to the size of a top-12 global economy. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Trump’s_Loyalty_to_Fossil_Fuel_Companies_Is Driving_Up_Inflation⠀⇛ Thanks to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, crude oil prices are soaring — leading to sky-high prices for gasoline and diesel. With that war, Trump has set off a domino effect, showing how deeply the fossil fuel industry has baked its prices directly into the U.S. economy. # ⚓ Utah News Dispatch ☛ Cox_orders_‘higher_bar’_for_data centers,_says_public_input_‘absolutely_matters’⠀⇛ Cox’s remarks were a reversal from the fervent, exasperated tone he used at a news conference in April when asked about opposition to the Stratos project, initially billed as a 9-gigawatt project that Cox recently said in its first phase would top out at about 1 gigawatt of energy generated by a natural gas power plant. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ What’s_Next_for_Blue_Origin_After Rocket_Explosion⠀⇛ Jeff Bezos was gaining ground on MElon’s SpaceX and Starlink. Thursday’s rocket explosion on a launchpad creates a major setback. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Blue_Origin’s_New_Glenn_rocket explodes_on_launchpad_during_test⠀⇛ A rocket built by Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin Enterprises LP exploded late Thursday ahead of a planned launch next week. The New Glenn heavy-lift vehicle was set to carry 48 of Amazon.com Inc.’s Leo satellites into low- Earth orbit. The retail and cloud giant is building an internet constellation designed to provide connectivity in remote areas. # ⚓ Bhaskar English ☛ Protect_Smartphone_from_Extreme Summer_Heat⠀⇛ In many cities of the country, the temperature has crossed 45 degrees and now phones are also heating up more than necessary, charging stops in between, the camera shuts down and the battery drains rapidly. Continuous overheating can damage not just the battery, but also the processor, camera sensor, display and the entire phone's performance. # ⚓ PC World ☛ No_tradeoffs_here._Acer's_TravelMate_is light_and_lasts_all_day⠀⇛ If you’re a productivity nerd, you might wonder how large the battery is: 71Wh. That number probably surprises you, it’s already quite large. For context, 99Wh is the maximum allowed on U.S. aircraft. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-05-24_[Older]_Madrid_protesters_decry rising_rents_and_housing_shortage⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-05-22_[Older]_EU,_Mexico_sign expanded_trade_deal⠀⇛ o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-05-23_[Older]_Germany:_Record_numbers take_German_passport_in_2025⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-05-23_[Older]_Thousands_rally_in Madrid_to_demand_Sanchez's_resignation⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-05-22_[Older]_DW_exclusive:_Germany's far-right_AfD_vows_to_'make_history'⠀⇛ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Why_Is_Sam_Altman_Teaming_Up_With_Jared_Leto,_a Creep_With_Extensive_Sex_Abuse_Allegations?⠀⇛ Let’s back up. The company, previously called Worldcoin and now simply called World, is developing software designed to verify the “humannesss” of people by scanning their eyeballs, a bizarre venture that has already been caught up in its fair share of controversies, from allegations of insider token trading and fraud to exploiting people in impoverished countries. Several countries have banned the company outright. # ⚓ India Times ☛ OpenAI_has_discussed_adding_Citigroup, JPMorgan_to_bank_lineup_for_IPO⠀⇛ OpenAI filling out its roster of underwriters would bring it a step closer to an IPO, which could come later this year. A confidential IPO filing by the maker of ChatGPT is expected within weeks, Bloomberg News has reported. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ J.D._Vance's_Billionaire Backer_Peter_Thiel_Moves_Family_to_Argentina_While_2028_White House_Bid_Wobbles⠀⇛ Reports indicate that the billionaire has temporarily relocated his family to Buenos Aires, enrolled his children in local schools and purchased property in one of the city's most exclusive neighbourhoods. He has also reportedly met Argentine President Javier Milei and several senior government officials. # ⚓ Kansas Reflector ☛ Trump_‘slush_fund’_echoes_scorned_19th- century_spoils_system,_academics_say⠀⇛ The comparison isn’t exact. The spoils system was associated with the distribution of government jobs to political allies, a practice called patronage. Trump’s new fund would instead deliver taxpayer dollars directly to favored individuals. Yet, academics who have studied the spoils system and the presidency see parallels between the past and present — with a desire to reward allies and build allegiance at the center of it all. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ Pope_Leo_Is_Challenging_Much_More_Than_Big Tech⠀⇛ Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV’s new encyclical “on safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence,” has received widespread praise. This isn’t surprising. A popular and learned world leader with a significant degree of moral authority is pointing out the dangers of a deeply unpopular technology created by deeply unpopular people. The laudatory coverage of the encyclical is justified, but it has obscured perhaps Leo’s most important insight. Magnifica Humanitas (“Magnificent Humanity”) is not only—or even mostly—about AI itself. And the pope is challenging much more than Big Tech. # ⚓ Carl Svensson ☛ Remembering_Dotcom,_Pondering_LLMs_| datagubbe.se⠀⇛ I was there, Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago (well, 30-ish at least), during the dotcom boom, as a pimply-faced junior developer, watching it all unfold from the inside. Firstly, it was quite obviously a bubble (though a lot of fun while it lasted): There's clearly something fishy afoot when even a naïve 19 year old - having the time of his life in a cool job at a cool company - starts to quietly wonder if it's a good idea to hire people for yet another office a few blocks away, when people at the already existing ones apparently have no work to do, all while the stock is ticking up like there's no tomorrow. Secondly, almost everything about the hype was correct. The net was going to change how we access information, communicate, advertise (sadly), how we shop, how we do banking, order food, book travels, how we consume media and news, and how we conduct business - and it did. Many of the detractors were right, too: our society is rife with digital rent extraction, social atomization, mental health issues and constant surveillance, much of it intimately linked to our ever-increasing online presence. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_Last_Serious_Contrarian⠀⇛ I want to write about him because the project he was inside is the project these pages have been inside for two years, and because his death in 2011 marks, in retrospect, the last year in which the kind of work he did was being done seriously by anyone with a wide audience. The fourteen years since have seen the rise of an entire ecosystem that has appropriated his posture, his theatrical contrarianism, his willingness to be the most unpopular person in the room, and stripped out the thing that made any of it matter, which was the intellectual cost he paid for it. He was the last serious contrarian. What came after him is the cargo cult. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_Shining_City_Is_the_Open_City⠀⇛ The speech is Ronald Reagan’s farewell address from the Oval Office, January 11, 1989. The last sentence he gave the country before walking out of public life. He describes the shining city. He says the doors are open. He says the people of every place are walking toward it. He says — and this is the line the apparatus that now invokes his name has burned — we the people. # ⚓ Jonathan Burdick ☛ JonathanBurdick.com_-_Breaking_Up_With Google⠀⇛ Around this time, my grandfather had purchased a computer that he was only somewhat able to navigate without his grandchildren's help. I was only ten years old, but I vividly remember CompuServe, my first experience with the web. After a year or so, he then signed up for pay-per-minute American Online with one of those CDs he probably snagged for free at the grocery store with the promise of 700 free hours. AOL was an absolutely game changer. As young as I was, I recognized that my world had changed. There was my brief life before I experienced the [Internet]. And then there was whatever this magical digital sorcery was. "Now, if someone tries to monopolize the Web," Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, said in a 1994 interview, "then that would make me unhappy." Berners-Lee, as previously noted, famously gave away his invention for free, putting the software in the public domain. It was, in his mind, the only way the World Wide Web would work. "We gave the web away to everyone," Berners-Lee wrote in 2025. But it's clear what came after reflects his fears from 1994. The web changed a lot between 1995 to 2005. Then it changed even more between 2005 and 2015. Then it transformed, perhaps predictably, into something barely recognizable between 2015 and 2025. Tim Berners-Lee continued in his 2025 interview: "Today, I look at my invention and I am forced to ask: is the web still free today? No, not all of it. We see a handful of large platforms harvesting users’ private data to share with commercial brokers or even repressive governments. We see ubiquitous algorithms that are addictive by design and damaging to our teenagers’ mental health. Trading personal data for use certainly does not fit with my vision for a free web. On many platforms, we are no longer the customers, but instead have become the product. Our data, even if anonymised, is sold on to actors we never intended it to reach, who can then target us with content and advertising. This includes deliberately harmful content that leads to real-world violence, spreads misinformation, wreaks havoc on our psychological wellbeing and seeks to undermine social cohesion." To reiterate, this is the person who invented the World Wide Web. # ⚓ Andre Franca ☛ Brazil_Failed_(Again)_to_Confront_Organized Crime⠀⇛ If another country offers tools to squeeze the financial arteries of gangs that terrorize your own population, the adult response is to coordinate, share intel, and go after their money like your life depends on it. Because for millions of Brazilians, it kind of does. Instead, Lula’s people hid behind sovereignty theater and acted like the real danger was the label, not the criminals. Another diplomatic bullshit… # ⚓ BoingBoing ☛ New_biography_captures_Doonesbury's_50-year sweep_of_American_life⠀⇛ Of course, "Doonesbury" would go on to include fictional versions of so many real-life people in its strips, including every president, many politicians and celebrities, and even a blowhard New York City real estate developer. So because real figures of the time appear as additional characters among "Doonesbury's" fictional cast of characters, maybe the comic strip is better seen as sweeping historical fiction, rendered in real time, day by day and week by week, while history is taking place. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Kremlin-funded_propaganda_film_shows Ukrainian_children_‘learning_to_love’_life_in_Russia⠀⇛ “Poslezavtra” describes its goal as helping minors who have “lived through difficult times” — the program’s euphemism for Russia’s invasion. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Chilling_Effects⠀⇛ Younger Americans have soured_on_the_second Insurrectionist_presidency, but they are not protesting it. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_Longest_Relay⠀⇛ This is the threat. Not the person, exactly. The recognition. Because the recognition reveals that the priestly class — every culture has one, in every era — is not the necessary mediator they have claimed to be. The recognition reveals that the rent the priestly class extracts for access to the substrate is fraudulent rent. The recognition reveals that the political authorities who depend on the priestly class’s blessing are propped up by an apparatus that is, structurally, a long con. So the priestly class moves to kill the witness. They bring formal charges — impiety, blasphemy, heresy, sedition, the precise charge varies by culture and era. They appeal to the political magistrate for the execution they cannot perform themselves. They organize a crowd to demand the death and give the magistrate cover. The witness is killed. The institution returns to its operation. The recognition, which the killers thought they were ending, becomes the seed of the next generation of witnesses. # ⚓ Elizabeth Ginexi ☛ Summary_of_Key_Changes_in_OMB’s_Proposed Federal_Financial_Assistance_Rule⠀⇛ In practice, this gives political appointees a veto over any science that conflicts with the current administration’s ideology. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Imprisoned_RFE/RL_Journalist_Farid_Mehralizada Shares_Reflections_From_Azerbaijani_Prison_On_Second Anniversary_Of_Detention⠀⇛ He was sentenced to nine years in prison on charges of “illegal entrepreneurship, money laundering, tax evasion, and document forgery.” Human rights activists and journalism advocacy groups say the charges are trumped-up and due to Mehralizada's work. On the second anniversary of his imprisonment, Mehralizada reflects on life behind bars, the humanity of the prison economy, and the AI photo of him with the daughter he has barely seen. o § Civil Rights / Policing / Accessibility⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-05-24_[Older]_Germany_plans_to address_growing_use_of_date-rape_drugs⠀⇛ # ⚓ Yle ☛ Blue-and-Black_Movement_proposes_school_segregation⠀⇛ The openly racist and fascist Blue-and-Black Movement says in its parliamentary election programme that pupils with an immigrant background should be separated from native Finnish pupils into their own classes, or in some cases into entirely separate schools. # ⚓ Wired ☛ The_White_House’s_Aliens.gov_Site_Brags_That_ICE Arrested_More_Than_700_US_Citizens⠀⇛ The website, which compares human beings to extraterrestrials, touts arrest numbers from the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration crackdown. But some of its details are really out there. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ ICE_Agent_Arrested_in_Texas,_Charged_With_Lying About_Minneapolis_Shooting⠀⇛ Castro is the second ICE agent to be charged by Moriarty’s office for their role in Operation Metro Surge, which civil rights groups and Minnesota officials have characterized as a lawless immigration crackdown involving racial profiling, warrantless arrests, violent raids, and multiple shootings by federal agents. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ Why_network_control,_not_just connectivity,_will_shape_the_next_fight⠀⇛ The result is not a single satellite architecture, but a multi-orbit transport fabric. Redundancy alone is no longer enough. What matters now is orchestration: continuous measurement of link health, policy-driven path selection and dynamic adaptation as mission needs and network conditions change. The supporting slide material is especially strong here. It emphasizes wide-area network (WAN) link selection based on latency, jitter, drops and service-level agreement (SLA) measurements, along with application-based policies that determine how traffic should move across available transports. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2026-05-23_[Older]_In_Iran,_internet access_becomes_a_luxury_for_the_few⠀⇛ o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Eesti Rahvusringhääling ☛ Few_artists_in_Estonia_find Spotify_a_good_source_of_income⠀⇛ According to Mati Kaalep, CEO of the Estonian Authors' Society, Spotify streams still do not correlate with the compensation received, which means that in Estonia there are few artists for whom Spotify is a good revenue source. Kaalep explained that one of EAÜ's main metrics is how much money the society manages to pay out to authors over a calendar year. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ California_Assembly_passes_3D_printer_bill that_would_criminalize_bypassing_mandated_gun-blocking software⠀⇛ California's Assembly has passed AB 2047, the California Firearm Printing Prevention Act, sending the amended bill to the state Senate after it was amended on May 18 and ordered to a third reading the following day. The proposal would require every 3D printer sold in the state to ship with "firearm blocking technology" that screens a design file before a print job can begin, and it goes further than parallel bills in New York, Washington, and Colorado by making it a misdemeanor for owners to disable or circumvent that system, a provision the Electronic Frontier Foundation argues would effectively criminalize third-party open-source firmware. o § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ # ⚓ Jeremy Provost ☛ Think_Tap_Blog_•_iOS_App_Store_Search_is Rotten,_Second_Follow-Up⠀⇛ It’s been 64 days since we first noticed Apple’s second ad position in search results for iPhone and iPad. Our update after two weeks showed consistently less search ad impressions for our apps, unless we invested heavily in paying for Search Ads. Here are some updated numbers. Just like last time, these numbers only include App Store Search impressions from iOS devices. As you’ll see, these numbers get harder and harder to compare over time. # ⚓ Jeremy Provost ☛ Think_Tap_Blog_•_iOS_App_Store_Search_is Rotten_Follow-Up⠀⇛ Two weeks in, the impact of Apple’s second ad slot is hard to ignore. Bonus: casino ads when searching for kids games. Fun. # ⚓ Jeremy Provost ☛ Think_Tap_Blog_•_iOS_App_Store_Search_is Rotten⠀⇛ If the issues with Mac App Store search weren’t enough, Apple has managed to extend its rottenness to the iOS App Store search. See if you can spot the problem(s). # ⚓ Nick Heer ☛ The_Effects_of_Another_Ad_in_iOS_App_Store Search⠀⇛ These ads are effectively another surcharge Apple has foisted upon developers for the privilege of distributing software to my iPhone and yours. Far from being premium “curated” experience, the App Store is this way because Apple has every incentive to steadily make it a little bit worse for users and developers — because where else are you going to go for your iPhone apps? # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Who’s_suing_Hey_Hi_(AI)_and_who’s signing:_CNN_latest_to_sue_Perplexity⠀⇛ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Torrent_Giant_YTS_Suffers_Extended Downtime⠀⇛ The popular torrent site YTS has been unreachable for more than a day, leaving millions of its users in the dark.

Enter nationalization, which also may not be the goodest of ideas: a one size fits nobody institution can be as incompetent as ten or so dividend seeking C- suites, especially if what passes for leadership these days all went through the same MBA programs: we might coin Thatcheritis for the condition? # ⚓ What_keeps_us_alive;_a_poem_(tho/en)⠀⇛ sounds of silence and loudness alike. history of the world in clear jewel cases. # ⚓ Traveller_RPG_Book_Binding⠀⇛ In 1977 I bought a set of the Traveller Role Playing Game books. They are getting a little worn, and I don't want to damage them further. I purchased PDFs of the classic Traveller books on CD a few years ago. I wanted a more useful copy and decided to print the first 3 books and bind them with double ring spiral binding wire. I chose the 1981 books for a slightly more modern version. I was interested in making an interesting cover for the book. I started with two 12" x 12" sheets of 1/ 16 inch plywood and ebonized it with India ink. After it was dry, I covered the first with masking tape. I then laser etched the front cover with the design. I then painted the etched area of the red and white to match the original covers. When I pulled the remaining masking tape off, I had a little touch ups to fix, but otherwise it worked well. # ⚓ wonder⠀⇛ my body is not a wonder it is a tool worn and weary and sick of serving # ⚓ Museums_and_modernism⠀⇛ I watched 'Night at the Museum' with my family recently: a good adventure movie, not bad for my eldest, aged ten, but not able to hold the attention of my youngest, who is six. It made me think of the museum of my past, the Melbourne Museum when it was still located with the State Library of Victoria. This is a beautiful, neoclassical building, first opened in the 1850s, with a domed reading room reminiscent of the British Museum Reading Room added in 1913. I loved to visit as a child, and as a teenager I made trips to the city to research assignments in the library. # ⚓ On_choosing_to_believe⠀⇛ I've been thinking a lot about where belief comes from, not the least because what I believe about the world happens to be a mishmash of many things. One of the things I think I believe is that you can choose what you believe. I don't think you necessarily have to choose, because there's a number of ways belief can come to you, but I do think choice is one of them. How? To be honest I'm less convinced of how but I do think I have a strong argument for why. To believe something is to have conviction that it's true. One way you could develop this conviction is by seeking evidence, but you might not find it. People believe all sorts of things that are not supported by evidence or cannot be supported by evidence. For example, the existence of God, who may be considered to transcend physical reality, cannot be supported by wholly physical evidence (in my humble non-theologian opinion). The other obvious way is that some people have simply believed their whole lives; they were introduced to it as children and have never been given the chance, the space, to believe something else. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ memorizing_every_phone_code_in_brazil_(feat._hulk_hogan)⠀⇛ a year ago, i accidentally purchased a yearlong subscription to geoguessr when all i wanted was a one month subscription. i resolved this problem by, rather than sending an email to customer support, playing a lot of geoguessr. oops. for those unfamiliar, geoguessr is a game that drops you into a random street view location and tasks you with identifying your location on the map. you are scored based on how close your guess was (higher is better). depending on the mode, you can move around to try to gain additional information, but with time limits involved, the more pieces of info you can make use of, the easier the game will be. as a result, there are various "metas" that players will learn to, say, know which eastern european country they are in based on the shape of the bollards on the side of the road. now, this was not my first time playing a lot of geoguessr. back during a four-month stretch in 2023, i played enough to at least identify the location's country correctly 90+% of the time without usually needing to move around too much (this is not very helpful if the country is, say, russia or brazil, for obvious reasons). # ⚓ More_GUI_Annoyances⠀⇛ Scroll bars that are too thin and require near microscopic precision to use. The target area for the cargohold scrollbar is not as bad as it appears, as the active area is about eight pixels wide (0.26% of the screen) which is larger than the display size of the too thin scrollbar. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Gemini_chat_group_sessions⠀⇛ Anyone care for a group chat on there?
