Suppose somebody enters a night club and abuses a woman; assuming the doorman (usually man) kicks out this person, holding the night club liable would be hard. The club owner would argue that what needed to be done was indeed done, with precautions taken as well. The correct action to take is hold the misbehaving person accountable, not the club owner. There are well established rules in this respect, with ISPs and webhosts reasonably well protected. We'll cover the legal basis later in the series. Last year, during cross-examination, Garrett admitted to me (after he had sworn on the Bible; he had chosen to do so but was not required to) that he kept contacting companies to take sites and content down. I asked him how many times he had done this (to various different parties) and he responded directly that he could not even remember or count because it happened many times (he gave only a rough estimate/tally). I have the full transcripts. He also didn't deny that he had contacted my ISP, Rianne's ISP, our previous webhost, and the current webhost. He demanded takedowns. We have the E-mails that he sent to them. Those are authentic. But Garrett isn't the sole person doing so. He is (and was) working in tandem with an individual known as Lozza. He also included additional evidence to that effect in his bundle of evidence (disclosures), not just vindicating us but also cementing what we had long said (and shown). Put another way, Garrett is "brigading" online and pressuring companies (some as large as British Telecom, BT) to muzzle critics or people he disagrees with. Meanwhile, Lozza_misuses_a system_in_another_country to 'harass' companies in a foreign continent while intentionally supplying fake addresses to make it seem like British companies and/or British people are in fact based in Canada. Thankfully, however, this system has caught up (or woke up) and made up its mind about Lozza. We'll cover this in the series and then cover an example of the modus operandi. A year ago we_told_the_story_about_the_relevance_of_the_timing (it is legally significant). Suppose you're a British cop and you are receiving a false report from America. What happens if the report is false? Will you go to America and arrest the fraudulent reporter? If you cannot do this, then why entertain that report in_the_first_place? Similarly, why would the Canadian system entertain a toxic harasser who issued false complaints with fabricated addresses? "I found some more documents that refer to Lozza," someone told us in relation to this_page. Quoting: "[18] The applicant cites Lozza v. Ontario Provincial Police, 2018 HRTO 1768 (“Lozza”) where there were issues of credibility and the Tribunal found, at para. 5, that it was not clear at the summary hearing stage that if the applicant’s version of events were to ultimately found to be true, that the Application would have no reasonable prospect of success." Also: "[25] In sum, I consider that in a summary hearing, the applicant’s version of events is assumed to be true, and the respondent’s version is not weighed against the applicant’s version. Therefore, I find that in this case, as in Lozza, the ultimate determination will, to some extent, hinge on credibility." Notice what goes on there. Here's another_one: "[15] With respect to their oral evidence, I acknowledge that sometimes the only evidence available to an applicant is their own testimony. In Lozza v. Ontario Provincial Police, 2018 HRTO 1768 where there were issues of credibility, the Tribunal found, at para. 5, that it was not clear at the summary hearing stage that if the applicant’s version of events were to ultimately found to be true, that the Application would have no reasonable prospect of success." They basically say, politely, that Lozza is a liar. Another_one: "[7] A summary hearing of this Application was held by videoconference on January 10, 2024. In the Interim Decision, I noted that in this case, as in Lozza v. Ontario Provincial Police, 2018 HRTO 1768, the ultimate determination would, to some extent, hinge on credibility. Therefore, I found that I could not dismiss the Application on the basis that it has no reasonable prospect of success under the Code and directed that the Registrar schedule a merits hearing." That's just from 2024, not 2025-26. We've not checked anything later than this. We're certain there's a lot more, but it does not need to be an exhaustive list. "They're citing Lozza in precedent," we're told. "They found Lozza to be non- credible. So they refer to Lozza's failed cases. This is hilarious. Lozza has become such a failure that they cite Lozza as precedent for how to dispose of a case when they encounter a bullshit artist. I didn't know Lozza was that egregious that they laugh and cite him on other people's failures. I just figured you'd get a kick out of that. Such a moron that precedent was indeed set, for an entire country." The Canadian taxpayers must now foot the bill for a lunatic who lies to courts, just like the "hired guns" we deal with routinely_lie_to_the_British_High Court. Lozza "is such a moron," we're told, that "they've cited "Lozza" at least 4 times in other cases [in 2024] on how to dispose of a nutcase that's brought them complete shit. It's hilarious. They did not release all of the correspondence, but they said Lozza told them [Lozza] filed the complaint against the police because Lozza had gone crazy... because Lozza had been smoking weed. So they cite this for people who have "credibility problems"." In the next part we'll begin to connect Lozza's online activities (and court activities) to those of Garrett. And yes, they communicate. Garrett has a history of liaising with other parties or relying on "online mobs" to do his biddings. There is no injunction forbidding me from showing this. It is a matter of public interest as well. █ * IBM_is_Trying_to_Turn_Debt_(Borrowed_Money)_Into_Fake_Growth_and_It'll Worsen_Matters * Not_Only_"Loonies_Take_on_Farage" ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣻⣽⣯⣛⡯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠉⠉⠈⠋⠈⠁⠉⢯⣿⣿⠋⠈⠉⠉⠛⠉⠉⠹⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠁⠙⠉⠈⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢀⣽⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡂⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣯⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣺⣾⣿⣿⡯⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢱⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⡋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢦⡻⠝⠏⠋⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⠹⠫⠟⣏⠎⠁⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⢶⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢔⡄⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠪⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢗⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠇⠀⢀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠱⣃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⡎⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣠⣯⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⢀⣶⡀⠀⢀⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠐⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⣷⣿⡦⠀⠀⡲⢄⡀⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡾⠀⢸⣿⣷⠀⠀⠺⣿⣯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣽⡷⠁⢀⣨⣿⡳⠄⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣢⠀⠘⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠑⠤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠞⠉⠉⠉⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣛⣤⣀⠀⡠⡠⣕⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⢿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠄⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⣀⣾⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠁⠀⠈⠑⠉⠈⠉⠛⠚⠁⠀⠁⠙⠉⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⢀⡀⠀⡀⠀⢀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢀⠀⣀⢐⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⡿⣿⡿⢿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠟⠿⠻⡿⠟⠻⡿⢛⡿⣿⠿⠟⠿⠿⠟⠛⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠟⢿⢿⢿⠿⠟⣿⠻⢿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⢿⡿⠻⢻⠿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢱⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣦⣢⣰⡄⣦⢦⢶⣄⣂⣦⣴⣧⣤⣦⢢⡠⠤⣰⡤⢤⢤⡦⣜⣧⢤⣦⣦⡄⣶⣤⣤⣢⣦⣶⣤⢄⣦⣾⣧⣤⣠⣴⣡⣰⣴⣤⣦⣤⢶⣆⡤⣦⣤⣢⣤⣰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 458 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/Call_for_IBM_Whistleblowers.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/Call_for_IBM_Whistleblowers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Call for IBM Whistleblowers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Old_Statue,_Art⦈_ We would protect anonymity Whistleblowers from IBM have long come to us, as did Red Hat whistleblowers (we recall several important ones prior to 2010, offering us rather major 'scoops'). At the moment IBM is in a very precarious position and the CEO might "resign" or "retire" by year's end (it's unlikely they will publicly sack him because it can cause panic, they want to save face). The CEO is in control of the Board, but that does not mean he has a majority there and there are more complaints from shareholders, including formal investigations into securities fraud. It'll leave board members bashful and uncomfortable, perhaps some will silently step down to be "replaced" (while communicating the matter carefully). If you work for IBM and have something material (like balance sheets) to prove financial misconduct, please try to 'touch base' and establish a secure communication channel we can both use. Whistleblowers change the world; the risks they take make the world a better place, except for crooks. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Old_Statue,_Art =============================================================================== * EPO_Series_on_EU_and_Pan-European_Corruption,_Vote-Rigging,_Extending Beyond_the_EPO_Itself * Will_Red_Hat_Still_Exist_in_2027_or_Just_Become_a_"Brand"_at_IBM? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡿⢿⣿⣷⣤⠀⢠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣤⣠⣿⡆⣿⡟⠀⠈⠥⠁⠀⠁⠁⣀⣀⡒⠒⠖⠒⢈⣀⣥⡀⠸⣮⣿⡃⠀⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠼⣻⣯⡻⣿⣿⣼⡿⠆⠀⠀⣴⣿⣧⣤⣤⣽⢷⣥⣼⣿⣼⣯⠻⣷⡐⣿⣿⣿⣦⣽⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣦⣾⣿⣟⣷⣿⣿⡿⢶⠆⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠉⣝⣿⣍⢿⣿⣾⣷⣶⣿⣾⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣻⣾⣿⣯⣾⠟⡋⢠⣿⣿⣷⣿⣯⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣽⢏⣴⣿⡛⣛⢛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡟⣿⣋⣁⣡⣴⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣋⣹⣿⣿⣭⣿⣿⣽⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⢻⣿⣿⢹⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢳⣷⣝⣿⣿⠿⢟⣛⣭⣽⣶⣶⣿⣧⣿⣿⢁⣠⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠻⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠋⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣈⡛⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⠜⠀⠹⣿⣿⣷⣝⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠀⠀⢨⣿⣿⣩⠿⠿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⡟⢛⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⠿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠋⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⢶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⠃⠀⢴⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⡄⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⠀⣀⣸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⡆⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣟⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣷⣄⢀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⣿⡀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢰⡿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣷⣇⠈⠻⢿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠹⣧⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⢠⡟⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 535 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/Comments_on_Today_s_Judgment.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/Comments_on_Today_s_Judgment.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Comments on Today's Judgment⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇This judgment will be handed down by the Judge remotely by circulation to the parties' representatives by email and release to The National Archives.

To quote: While clearly seen in the pharmaceutical trade it's also endemic in the infosec business, and we see a more widely repeated pattern of harm around security, medicine and defence, where aggressive vendors push defective and harmful niche wares upon uninformed bean-counters. These execs lack sufficient technical knowledge, access to independent research and guidance, but are 'keen to make savings'. Procurers are bedazzled by marketing, PR and outright disinformation peddled by the vendors using their own research as if it were objective. [...] Pervasive, gratuitous, continuous surveillance is the hallmark of a failed society with low care and trust values. It is a sign of failed institutions where there is little or no humanity. It signifies disdain for human relations, and suggests pockets of unaccountable, paranoid power. Whereas it gained a foothold in supermarkets from the 1970s, as a bulwark against shoplifting, CCTV metastasised into the general environment under largely unexamined assumptions around its benefits to crime prevention and public space management, mainly as a tool of the lazy and cowardly. [...] The Lampard investigation is welcome as an opportunity to open up public conversation on surveillance. We need to re-establish the fundamental undesirability of surveillance, especially where claims are made that it saves money and so on. [...] We need to change perceptions and incentives in this game. Local councils, public venue management, schools, and hospitals should pride themselves (and be judged) on how little CCTV they deploy, not how much. Deployment of surveillance should be considered a failure of operational professionalism, of policing, of care, of intelligence, of human presence, capability and wit, because it ought to be a position of last resort.

"select committee" of high-level European "IP officials" that visited Matti_Päts in Tallinn in January 2010 to discuss "development trends of both EPO and OHIM". In the last part we took a detailed look at the selection procedure which led to the appointment of António Campinos as OHIM President in 2018. The manner in which that procedure was conducted is perhaps not so surprising when one considers the composition of the OHIM Administrative Board at the time in question, in particular the presence of Benoît Battistelli (France), Martti Enäjärvi (Finland) and Matti Päts (Estonia). 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Benoît Battistelli and Gilles Requena flanked by Matti Päts (on the left) and his deputy Toomas Lumi (on the right)⦈ A photo showing Benoît Battistelli and Gilles Requena flanked by Matti Päts (on the left) and his deputy Toomas Lumi (on the right) on the occasion of a meeting which took place in Talinn in January 2010. All of the aforementioned individuals had participated in a meeting which took place in January 2010 in the Estonian capital, Talinn, as part of Battistelli's Baltic_Crusade. It is a matter of official record that at that meeting – which was also attended by António Campinos and João Negrão – the discussion centred on "development trends of both EPO and OHIM". Subsequent events suggest that the main purpose of the meeting was to agree on a common line to be followed with regard to filling the top positions at both the EPO and OHIM. Some time later in April 2010, as the OHIM Administrative Board prepared to draw up the shortlist of candidates for the position of the agency's President the recent protracted election shenanigans at the EPO in Munich would have been fresh in the minds of the national delegates, many of whom participated in both governing bodies. It is recalled here that about two months earlier, following the failure to break the deadlock in the EPO election procedure at an extraordinary Council meeting convened at the beginning of February 2010, the IPKat website had expressed the view that the ongoing inability to arrive at an agreed outcome made the EPO's Administrative Council look "increasingly ridiculous". The head of the Estonian delegation, Matti Päts, expressed his view of the situation at the EPO in a foreword to the 2009 Annual Report of the Estonian Patent Office (published some time in the first quarter of 2010): "The representatives of the Estonian Patent Office as the members of the Administrative Council of the European Patent Organisation took part in the elections of the new president of the European Patent Office at the regular meeting of the Administrative Council in December 2009. There were four candidates – from Switzerland, Denmark, France and Sweden. Despite several votings nobody got the required majority of votes. A large office needs a president and firm management, but it is difficult to tell how to achieve it. Here democracy reveals some obstacles." Many of the other OHIM Administrative Board members – who like Päts doubled as EPO Administrative Council delegates – had witnessed the EPO election circus at first hand. It is quite likely that they shared a collective desire to avoid a repeat performance when it came to filling the top position in Alicante and were eager to find some way to circumvent what Päts regarded as the "obstacles" inherent in a rules-based democratic system. Confronted with the problem of how to "streamline" the decision-making process in Alicante, a solution was finally found that would enable the OHIM Administrative Board to complete its selection procedure in a fraction of the time required by the EPO Administrative Council and with far less effort on the part of all concerned. The novel and innovative solution which Campinos and his amigos settled upon was to agree on "shortlist_of_one" – with the "one" in this case being none other than the chairman of the Administrative Board, namely António Campinos himself. The fact that this clever little administrative trick effectively pre-empted and usurped the decision-making authority of the Council of Ministers didn't seem to trouble anybody. From a formal legal perspective, there was nothing unlawful about it because the Board's rules of procedure permitted the nomination of a single candidate as long as the nomination was supported by a three-quarters majority. It would appear that OHIM "insiders" considered the deployment of the "shortlist of one" in the 2010 presidential appointment procedure to have been such a success that it soon established itself as the solution of choice – or perhaps more accurately, "the solution of no_choice" – when came to filling top jobs in Alicante. This form of "streamlined" decision-making was still in regular use a decade later in 2020, when João Negrão secured his appointment as President of the EUIPO Boards of Appeal.

Some months later, in Negrão's home country Portugal the official confirmation of his appointment by the Council of Ministers was a cause for celebration. To mark the occasion a_communiqué_issued_by_the_Ministry_of_Foreign_Affairs was published on the official website of the_XXII_Portuguese_government, a Socialist_Party_(PS) minority government led by Prime Minister António_Costa. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇A communiqué issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announcing the confirmation of Negrão's appointment as President of the EUIPO Boards of Appeal⦈ A communiqué issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announcing the confirmation of Negrão's appointment as President of the EUIPO Boards of Appeal appeared on the official website of the Portuguese government. The contents of the communiqué were reproduced in an English translation on the official website of the Portuguese National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) The contents of the government communiqué were reproduced in an_English translation on the official website of the Portuguese National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI): The Portuguese João Negrão was appointed today for the position of President of the Boards of Appeal of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The selection process was in progress since 2019 and considered 17 candidates from 8 Member States and counted with the strong support and commitment of the Portuguese Government, on a diplomatic campaign coordinated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and also involving the Ministry of Justice and the Portuguese National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI). Throughout the process, the undisputed merit and the wide experience of the candidate were reflected in the very significant vote by the Member States, represented on the EUIPO Board of Directors, in which João Negrão got 27 out of 30 votes. His appointment was adopted by the Council of the European Union unanimously today. The jurist João Negrão has more than 20 years of experience in the area of industrial property, both at national and European level, having held duties as Director of International Relations, Legal Affairs and Promotion of Innovation at INPI between 2008 and 2010. Since 2011, he was Director of International Cooperation and Legal Affairs at EUIPO. With this appointment, Portugal consolidates the high profile it has taken in the last ten years in the area of intellectual property and patents, which translates into the election of Portuguese for the highest positions in the European agencies of Alicante (EUIPO) and Munich (European Patent Office). As we shall see in the next part, Negrão's sponsors in the Portuguese political establishment may have regarded the "rubber-stamped" confirmation of his appointment by the Council of Ministers as a cause for celebration but not everybody else was happy about the manner in which the selection procedure had been conducted. █ *

IBM_also_censors, uses_NDA/threats_to_silence_dissent Felipe Borges (IBM) has just posted a follow-up which in very polite and "professional" terms indicates that the censorship will continue until morale improves. IBM is an oppressive force in GNU/Linux. It's so much worse than it used to be under Red Hat (as a real, independent_company). IBM and NDAs are almost synonymous these days. Ask IBMers. "Cannot comment..." IBM does not get "libre" and never understood liberty. Less than 90 years ago IBM was a tech supplier for "labour camps" that said "work liberates" but in reality gassed_their_work_inhabitants. █ *

Fake Growth and It'll Worsen Matters⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 29, 2026 IBM is in trouble. It is also a bubble. How does IBM keep pretending that there is growth? Cooking the books. Another way to accomplish this? Exploit vendor lockin (e.g. mainframes) for price hikes? Tell some stories about costs_of_components? As_somebody_put_it_a_few_hours_ago: "Tell me one thing that is not overpriced these days at IBM?" As noted last night, IBM_is_sharing_false_or_misleading_figures_about_alleged "growth" and the following new_comment_says: The key fact is that IBM’s Software revenue grew 5%, while organic Software growth was essentially flat—meaning acquisitions drove nearly all of the increase. Data grew 19%, likely helped heavily by Confluent and DataStax; Automation grew only 4%, including HashiCorp, Apptio and Turbonomic. Meanwhile, Transaction Processing fell 8%, showing continued decline in the legacy mainframe software base. So the concern is valid: IBM is buying growth faster than it is creating it internally. Then it ruins it. See the plans_for_Red_Hat. The same year IBM faces several investigations into securities fraud IBM reports_that_its_"Goodwill"_rose_13.86%_in_"value"_in_just_12_months. So they put in their balance sheets a fake "growth" in something that does not even exist. If IBM is growing, why does it get_rid_of_so_many_people? █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇PIP, IBM Logo Font⦈ * Microsoft_Relies_on_Misleading_Narrative_of_Studios_Going_'Independent'; in_Reality_There_Are_Mass_Layoffs_in_Them * Brigading_Against_Women_-_Part_I_-_Bypassing_the_Legal_System_by Threatening_Companies_in_Another_Continent ⣾⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣈⣿⣿⡷ ⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⡇ ⣿⣶⡶⠶⠶⠶⠶⢶⣶⣶⣶⡶⠶⠶⠶⠶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⠶⠶⠶⠶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠶⠶⠶⠶⣾⡇ ⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⡇ ⣿⣿⡏⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢻⡇ ⣿⣿⡷⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⢶⣶⣾⡇ ⣿⣿⣧⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⡏⠉⠉⠉⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠉⠉⠉⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⠿⠷⠶⠶⠶⠶⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠷⠶⠶⠶⠶⠾⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1484 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/IBM_Running_Out_of_Things_It_Can_Sell_is_Selling_Software_Paten.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/IBM_Running_Out_of_Things_It_Can_Sell_is_Selling_Software_Paten.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IBM, Running Out of Things It Can Sell, is Selling Software Patents⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 29, 2026, updated Jul 29, 2026 Last month: 2026_is_the_Year_of_Blockchains,_Says_IBM's_CEO_a_Decade_Ago?

A decade ago IBM was passing software patents to patent trolls. After "Krish" came along as CEO (also master of the Board) IBM carried on doing patent blackmail campaigns against all sorts of companies, especially small ones that could not properly "cross-license" (euphemism that disguises the inherent evil). IBM is not just pathetic; it's actively harmful because it lobbies for software patents and spreads software patents around. █ * Gemini_Links_29/07/2026:_Star_Trek,_Retirement,_and_ODEs_in_GNU_Octave * Staff_of_EPO_Cautions_Against_Unlawful_Weaponisation_of_PIPs_Against Industrial_Actions_That_Protest_Corruption ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣉⣙⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠤⠀⠄⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡟⣽⣽⢽⢿⢟⢿⡿⡻⣿⣏⡹⣿⣻⢟⢿⢿⢿⡿⣿⣿⡿⣻⣿⡏⠯⣿⡹⣏⢹⡏⠏⡏⢿⡿⢟⣿⡿⡿⡻⣿⣻⣟⢿⡿⡿⣿⠹⢝⣟⢟⣿⣿⡿⡿⡏⣿⡿⢏⢟⢿⢿⣻⣏⣿⡻⢹⠽⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣯⣵⣼⣼⣮⣽⣷⣭⣿⣼⣷⣯⣽⣮⣽⣮⣼⣧⣷⣭⣯⣽⣿⣧⣭⣾⣷⣾⣼⣧⣭⣧⣮⣵⣮⣽⣶⣵⣽⣿⣿⣬⣼⣧⣧⣿⣼⣿⣬⣼⣵⣭⣧⣧⣧⣿⣿⣿⣮⣽⣼⣯⣿⣯⣵⣼⣴⣭⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⣿⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣻⣿⢻⢻⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1566 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/I_Found_a_Typo_Don_t_Vote.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/I_Found_a_Typo_Don_t_Vote.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ I Found a Typo, Don't Vote!⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇There's a candidate running in Clacton who lives in Australia, according to the official statements of persons nominated⦈ Hype goes or_works_for_the_satirical_candidates.

Social control media isn't good at adding any meaningful signal. █ * Jeremy_Sands_Explained_the_Harms_of_Codes_of_Conduct * Digital_Mass_Surveillance_as_a_Hallmark_of_Failed_Societies ⣿⣿⠟⠋⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⢿⢿⡿⣿⢿⠻⣿⢻⠿⡿⡿⠿⠻⠿⣿⢿⢿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⡥⠀⠀⠘⣿⣯⣴⣥⣤⣿⣤⣼⣿⣤⣦⣬⣿⣯⣤⣿⣤⣼⣿⣮⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣧⡀⠨⠀⢀⣼⣿⡿⣽⣿⣟⣝⣸⣁⣽⣿⣯⣍⣿⣩⣩⣿⣿⣏⣽⣿⣻⢿⣿⣿⣉⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⢻⣿⡻⣿⡟⡟⣿⡟⢻⣿⢹⣿⠹⣿⡟⣿⣿⢻⣟⣿⡟⠛⣿⡟⣿⣿⢻⣻⣿⣿⠛⣿⡟⣿⡟⣿⠟⡋⣿⡟⣿⣿⢟⢿⣿⣿⠛⣿⣟⣹⠿⣿⣿⢻⡟⠙⢿⣿⡿⣿⡿⢻⣿⠛⣿⢹⣿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⡿⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⡿⡿⡿⣿⡿⣿⣿⢿⢿⢿⣿⡿⣷⠿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⣿⡿⣿⡿⡿⣿⢿⣿⡿⡿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣯⣬⣿⣼⣧⣤⣿⣥⣿⣤⣿⣧⣥⣿⣧⣥⣵⣧⣶⣾⣼⣧⣤⣿⣥⣽⣯⣼⣿⣨⣧⣤⣧⣥⣷⣿⣷⣿⣼⣯⣤⣿⣤⣼⣷⣤⣷⣤⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⡻⠿⡿⢿⡿⣿⠿⡿⢿⡿⡿⢿⠿⠿⡿⣿⠿⣿⡿⠻⡿⣟⡛⡿⡟⡿⠿⡿⠿⠿⢿⡿⠟⣿⠿⡿⢟⢻⣟⣻⠿⣟⡟⠛⣻⣿⣿⡛⢟⣻⣛⡿⡻⢟⣻⢟⣿⡟⣻⠿⠿⣿⠿⡿⡿⢿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣵⣼⣧⣾⣧⣿⣿⣧⣿⣮⣦⣽⣴⣼⣯⣾⣷⣽⣯⣼⣿⣿⣷⣿⣦⣿⣾⣯⣶⣾⣾⣯⣷⣯⣤⣧⣾⣿⣯⣽⣶⣿⣶⣤⣽⣭⣿⣿⣮⣿⣯⣷⣵⣮⣿⣷⣿⣧⣽⣧⣮⣿⣿⣦⣷⣼⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣏⣸⣏⣽⣿⣹⣏⣈⣹⣿⣉⣿⣭⣹⣏⣸⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣛⣷⣁⣾⣙⣷⣟⣻⣾⣱⣏⢍⣿⣏⣿⣌⣸⣌⣙⣟⣼⣩⣌⡏⣱⣅⣻⣼⣇⣷⣉⣿⢍⣵⣍⣻⣿⣱⣏⣣⣗⣩⣧⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣷⣧⣄⣿⣆⣾⣇⣗⣀⣪⣄⣿⣇⣿⣩⣡⣻⣨⣸⣆⣼⣿⣨⣧⣺⣺⣕⣵⣾⣠⣇⣪⣔⣿⣆⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⢤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿ ⣿⡏⣭⣩⣍⡩⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠀⠀⠆⠆⠉⠭⠭⠼⡽⠽⠽⠽⠯⠯⠯⠼⠽⠯⠭⡷⠖⠶⠄⠒⠴⠆⠲⢔⠔⠀⠠⠐⠂⠂⠔⠔⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⣶⣾⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⡏⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⡾⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⠿⠶⠰⠀⠀⠂⠀⠂⠀⠠⣟⣁⡉⠁⣁⣉⢉⣀⣉⡈⢈⣉⡁⣀⣁⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⢀⡀⢙⠋⣙⠈⡚⢋⣃⠑⣙⡓⢑⢓⣈⣓⣻⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡯⠭⠅⠤⠤⠬⠠⠄⠮⠤⠲⠴⠤⠄⠤⠦⠲⠀⢸⡧⣤⢭⣭⣤⣬⣬⣥⣭⣥⣭⣭⡭⣭⢭⣬⣭⣤⣽⣿⣿ ⣿⣇⠀⠀⢀⡀⣀⣀⠀⣀⣀⠀⢀⠀⢀⡀⢀⣀⢀⣄⠀⢐⣄⡀⢠⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣤⣤⣤⣄⣠⣀⣤⣤⣟⢒⢛⣀⡈⣉⡉⡉⣉⢉⠡⡉⣌⣉⡉⠉⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣇⠡⠨⡄⡃⣩⢡⡤⠨⣤⢡⡄⢀⣤⠤⡄⡄⢠⣀⡨⢄⠀⠁⠨⠭⠭⠉⠉⠍⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠦⠖⠐⠆⠂⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠭⠭⠿⠭⠍⠿⠟⠻⠹⠽⠿⠭⠛⠻⠯⠿⠿⠿⢻⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠔⠄⠀⠀⠀⠄⠠⠄⠄⠤⠠⠄⠤⠠⠠⠖⠶⠹⣿⣿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⢸⣿⠛⠉⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣏⣊⡉⡈⠁⣉⢉⣉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣻⣛⣚⣙⡟⡚⡳⠗⡖⢲⠲⠟⣗⠚⠕⠒⠢⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⠏⠋⠂⠔⠐⠐⠑⠈⠐⠠⠒⢐⣐⣃⡀⢁⣐⣪⣿⣿⠀⠉⠙⠛⠃⠀⠀⢸⡯⠀⠀⠀⢔⣻⣿⡟⡏⠉⠀⠤⣤⡉⣀⣉⠀⣀⡀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣁⡓⡌⠼⡄⡇⣳⡷⡄⢿⠚⠁⠀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠂⠁⠘⠘⡁⠓⠈⢃⠚⣘⠀⠀⣈⣽⣳⠀⠙⣹⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠑⠋⠀⠹⡇⡇⠠⠄⠴⠤⠠⠤⠀⠀⠄⠠⠄⠀⠔⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠬⡲⠰⠂⠰⣿⠞⠃⠐⢂⠀⠸⠆⡸⠟⠌⠁⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡧⣤⣭⡥⠅⠀⠀⠁⠈⠁⠁⠈⢴⣿⣿⣾⣷⢶⣻⡿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⡑⡆⠀⡇⡷⠄⠆⠒⠠⠴⠆⠂⠒⠀⠒⠠⠐⠂⠀⠖⠂⠀⢸⣷⢾⢾⠿⡷⠗⡄⣤⡼⠭⠤⠸⠇⠚⠛⠃⠠⣄⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡟⠉⢶⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡏⠁⠿⡿⠸⣿⠷⢻⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠆⠀⢇⡇⠐⠦⠠⠦⠀⠀⠴⠤⠄⠀⡀⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡃⠀⢔⡈⠻⠅⠂⣹⣆⠉⠠⠀⢈⠃⠀⠂⠘⠀⢹⣿⣿ ⣿⡷⡻⣭⡇⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠰⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⡇⠀⠘⠒⠚⠘⠐⠒⠐⠒⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣷⣨⡇⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣏⣩⣭⠥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠲⠂⠀⠂⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⡿⠿⠧⠤⠤⠤⠼⠤⠴⠍⣀⣜⣿⡗⠆⠀⠄⠆⠀⠠⠰⠀⠀⠤⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣗⣾⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⢿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡏⠩⠭⠭⠽⠿⠹⠏⠿⠵⠢⠶⠐⢐⣴⣴⣖⣖⣒⣒⣒⣒⣓⣒⣜⣛⣚⣚⣃⣚⣛⣙⣩⣦⣿⣛⡯⡷⠀⠒⠐⠀⠠⠀⠀⠐⠖⠢⠠⠄⠔⠒⠔⠄⠀⠀⠀⠂⣤⢽⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿ ⣿⣗⣂⣶⣮⣽⣦⣽⣧⣾⣼⣧⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⢛⣟⣟⡛⡛⣯⣭⣩⢩⢭⡭⣭⣍⡭⠭⢽⣯⡝⣨⡏⠈⠒⠀⠀⠂⠃⠂⠂⠒⠀⠂⠀⠃⠂⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣇⣀⣀⣁⣀⣀⣀⣈⣈⣈⣀⣈⣀⣀⣁⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⣛⣋⡇⡏⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⣏⣛⣹⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1638 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/Inevitable_Politics.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/Inevitable_Politics.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Inevitable Politics⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Andy Burnham Cabinet⦈ Tomorrow we're_voting_here. Things have become a lot more political for us in recent years [1, 2] and many folks who were apathetic towards politics for decades are increasingly interested because of the "cost of living" crisis, wars that contribute to this crisis, and various other factors that led to a rapid shuffle of leadership (we've had many Prime Ministers this past decade). In technology, provided the work you do has growing impact (we served almost 2 million requests yesterday), things will inevitably become more political - whether you like it or not does not matter. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Andy_Burnham_Cabinet =============================================================================== * Not_Only_"Loonies_Take_on_Farage" * Solicitors_Regulation_Authority_(SRA)_Inaction_and_Incompetence_-_Part_II -_77_Messages_Sent,_Did_Not_Even_Investigate_or_Examine_Any_of_the_Actual Evidence_(British_Taxpayers'_Money_Wasted) ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢛⣛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠇⠸⡟⢯⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡶⣶⣶⣤⣶⣶⣶⡿⢀⡖⠠⠟⢻⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢳⣴⣴⡿⢿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠈⠝⠛⠛⠿⠟⠗⠺⠷⠤⠬⠚⠙⣼⡿⠛⠉⠉⠉⠋⠙⠻⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡯⠟⣛⠓⢄⠠⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡆⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠉⠁⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢁⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⣋⠉⠹⡿⠛⠛⠿⢃⡶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣺⣿⣟⣏⣿⡿⢿⡟⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⣟⣛⣽⣟⠶⢾⣲⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣵⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠋⠀⠀⢿⣿⣓⣒⣻⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣟⣿⢿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡿⢟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⢸⣿⣿⣟⠢⠉⠀⠀⡄⠸⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠿⠿⠟⣪⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣴⡿⠿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣧⣩⣅⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡿⠓⠀⢘⣻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡰⣦⣿⡶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠃⠀⢿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠤⢰⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⡿⢛⣿⣿⣿⣷⡆⠲⣦⣤⢰ ⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠀⠀⠸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⡻⣿⡏⣿⣿⣶⣶⣏⠙⣿⣿⣶⣶⣝⣿⣿ ⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣤⣤⣤⣄⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣽ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣴⣷⣾⣿⣯⡄⠈⠉⠻⢿⣿⣿⡿⢽⣯⠉⠀⣀⣚ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1696 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/IRC_Proceedings_Tuesday_July_28_2026.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/IRC_Proceedings_Tuesday_July_28_2026.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IRC Proceedings: Tuesday, July 28, 2026⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Shells in a wooden box⦈ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇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.

Conduct⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇The Truth About Southeast Linuxfest⦈ The Ask Noah Show has_just_published_episode_"499" (out of...) and said: "Join us next week for the recording of episode of 500." So "next week the 500th show milestone [is reached]," a listener of that show told us, adding that we can "perhaps revisit the S.E.L.F. interview about codes of censorship and the violence they are spread by," based on an_episode_from_8 years_ago (direct_link). To quote the relevant bits: [01:16:10] JS [Jeremy Sands]: Let's get to all the things you don't want to hear about ... politics. The Code of Conduct, it's been a thing for the last couple of years it's been pushed pretty aggressively in the open source sphere and other areas totally unrelated to open source as well but the Code of Conduct is kind of a series of guidelines as to what is and isn't acceptable behavior at an event and what the repercussions are for transgressing those rules et cetera. Part of the way SELF reorganized after it hit that bankruptcy wall from the party debacle was it's actually and I'll get to this in a little bit later it's not as easy as it might sound to be a 501(c)(3) [01:17:00] as a Free Software organization. In fact the IRS is deeply, deeply distrustful of 501(c)(3)s that are Free Software filings. Not my words, the words of Cat Almon [sp?] and I'll get to that in detail later. But essentially as part of reorganizing, it became abundantly clear that since I was already self-employed, it was dramatically, radically cheaper. like orders of magnitude cheaper, for SELF to simply be a quote-unquote for-profit tucked under my existing LLC that I already knew and already operate and already have to do books for. But deliberately operated in such a way where profit is not part of the equation. I like to say, for profit but deliberately bad at making profit. Because as it turns out because of the way the IRS deals with 501(c)(3)s from Free Software filings, it's way cheaper to be for profit and deliberately bad at making profit than it is to be non-profit and really, really good at not making profit. Government. So my first reaction, so that was basically my way of saying I have some skin in in the game here. Like if something goes horribly wrong that lands on me. So my first reaction wasn't well let me read this over my first reaction was I'm going to hand this to a lawyer, and so I did. The people pushing Codes of Conduct that have several examples and depending on who it is and their own personal view and there are several out there floating around I want to say one of the bigger ones that's pushed is the contributor covenant I think I have that right. I think that was the one I took and had a lawyer review. His words to me were if I were a judge I would ask you just who the hell you thought you were trying to rewrite the law for your little fiefdom and just where you obtained the wisdom of how things should be run around here greater than the collective wisdom of the electorate and the officials that represent them. I didn't really have a good answer for that. His advice was to be an arbitrator and to resist the temptation to be a judge, and a jury and executioner because when you do that you have essentially entered yourself into the legal fray. He said what you really want to be is a peace broker. You want to resolve the conflict without a determination of guilt either way. Even if it seems painfully obvious who is guilty. You just want to achieve peace. If you can't do that his recommendation for the safest legal course was simply to eject all parties involved from the event. He said I know as I say that that's a terrible thing because statistically speaking at least half the people you just ejected were totally innocent. That's a terrible thing to have to do. But it's also, legally speaking, from my point of view as a lawyer advising you as counsel, the wise thing to do. He also said you're running around running an event, how much of your mental capacity can you really bring to bear to slow things down and seriously consider everything unfolding. Not a bad point you've got there. My response to the Code of Conduct and it being pushed upon me was to simply ignore it. I ignored it, didn't put anything up there but eventually the shouts become loud enough that you have to do something. Because it becomes something if you do not have one you will be asked repeatedly about it. And eventually, the act of answering those questions becomes so tedious that you might as well have a policy even if your policy is we don't have a policy. Because in the absence people are just going to ask questions and insert their own fears into that vacuum. For not having, I think our first official code of conduct policy was kind of a pithy one liner it was kind of a, I won't, I'll get it wrong, you can go, I'm sure it's on archive.org somewhere , but it was more or less don't be a butthead. If I want to paraphrase it that was more or less our code of conduct. NC: Then if you need help learning what a butthead is then if you think something might be in question of concern just don't do that thing and you're probably pretty safe. JS: Yeah, so, unbelievably I was actually threatened in private at other events for this for not having a code of conduct that some people deemed acceptable. And not from random people the very first person to threaten me has been a speaker at SELF I think every year and because I accept talks blindly they keep getting talks because I'm not holding that against them because I don't know who they are when I select the talks. So if nothing else you can't accuse me of bias in selecting speakers given that I keep selecting a speaker who threatened me. There's the downside by the way of selecting blind. But because of this when I go to other events to promote SELF or to speak I simply do not have private conversations with strangers any more even people who I somewhat know I will keep other people around me to be witnesses now and it's terribly tragic that I even have to say that and it's even more tragic that if you go looking around online I am not the only one who does that any more and that's even more sad. Given that I got a nasty backlash simply for not having a Code of Conduct that a lawyer told me you would be a fool to have, I started asking why are people pushing this what's the real message here? And if you start looking around online Googling for Codes of Conduct and insert your own pejorative here, cons, downsides, alternative views, it's hard not to eventually stumble into a guy named Paul M Jones. He is apparently somewhat infamous as someone who is a vociferous advocate against some Codes of Conduct. If you want to read up about him he is in the PHP-FIG framework interoperability group I think I got that right NC: We've actually had Paul on the show and interviewed him about his views on the Code of Conduct and part of his presentation and all that and we'll have that linked in the show notes as well. [01:24:00] JS: So if you want to read up on some of that nasty past that made him infamous just go read the PHP-FIG it's all there it's a mailing list. But my personal take after having skimmed through it was infantile, petty, and a poo-flinging fest that is how I would describe a lot of the just childish battles that occurred over that. So I got put into contact with him and to get his take and given how he has this reputation you might be expecting the worst but not only was he not Hitler and I say that only somewhat tongue in cheek given the nastiness of our political discourse these days but I actually found him to be reasonable and measured and well spoken and that the next year when I was selecting talks there was one on the darker side of the Code of Conduct and blindly I selected it and it was Paul who submitted it. So he gave a talk at SELF on Codes of Conduct and some of the downsides of some of those Codes of Conduct. Boy if you thought it was political before simply by not having an acceptable Code of Conduct the act of having someone speak out against the concept of a Code of Conduct in some cases caused enormous backlash. The fact that it was Paul M Jones giving that talk ramped it up a couple notches. So just for having him speak his personal opinion at SELF there was a targeted smear campaign on social media directly going after SELF's biggest sponsors telling them to no longer support our event. And it worked. They successfully chased off multiple sponsors. I know of at least two for sure because they they contacted me disagreeing with the decision of their own superiors to no longer support SELF. One of which came back to me with a demand, not their own, but of their superiors, that for them to sponsor the next year, one third of all speakers would have to be female. How can I possibly guarantee you one third of anything, gender, color, nationality, religion, whatever shallow collectivist thing you're fixated on when I select the talks blindly based upon merit. I can't even tell you whether or not I can qualify for your demand until after I've selected talks because I don't even know who I'm selecting. In the words of the person who made those demands to me [01:27:00] this doesn't seem to do anything more than merely check a box. That was their own words to me, when delivering these demands. And everyone immediately asked me in private after they hear this talk who is it what's the company could you tell me? I don't want to tell you because I don't want to attract the poo-flinging the other direction at the company. Because it isn't necessarily the views of the company. It might just be one person in a position of power or as I like to say a cat bird in HR or in marketing who has purchase authority power and they're using those levers of power to achieve their own means. And to kind of prove this point of how counter- productive it would be to attack the company that made the demand more than a dozen employees from that company that very year decided to come to SELF on their own dime as supporting attendees on their own dime and enjoy the event freely as much as they could without their own company's backing. So the company formally wasn't there. All the employees were still there. For me what was insightful was the one time when the rubber really met the road. when it comes to Codes of Conduct. And there are no winners in this story. There are only losers. I had an employee of a sponsor who was at the event it was at the Sheraton so it is in the more recent history of the event but I can't name off the top of my head which year. This person had diversity in their official job title and they approached me, at SELF, face to face. to say that if our even did not have [01:29:00] an acceptable Code of Conduct to their standards and at the time we had already put in our pithy don't be a butthead equivalent Code of Conduct. He said that is not acceptable to our standards. And if you do not have one that is acceptable to our standards and he offered again the contributor covenant, the one the lawyer said don't do that that, they would not be back as a sponsor. And that would be a permanent decision until we acquiesced to that demand. The very next day one of their employees put a business card down the shirt of a female attendee on his way out of the venue. I had an eye witness report from another sponsor and not just any random person but a really smart one a person who is a rising FOSS celebrity who goes on major national shows to talk about FOSS. And I had an actual physical business card in my hand. So with the smoking gun of the business card and an eye witness report I went to be the ax man that the job required of me at the time. I went and pulled in the gentleman with diversity in his official title. I informed him of what happened and I informed him that that person was banned from the event until further notice and specifically by that I mean indefinitely and what was the first thing to spout out of his mouth in response? It wasn't how is she, how can we help, how can we resolve this. The first response was quote and I quote, "why did it have to be us?" NC: So somebody is insulted and this person who was previously so concerned about the safety and well-being of these attendees and your lack of concern for their safety is more concerned about the PR ramifications than the actual event or the actual safety? JS: Shocking. Somebody who claims to care about others really only cares about themselves. Sounds like they would make a great politician. Saddening. Yeah. That response says more than I probably ever could. Now I ended with a bit of a wry, "that didn't take a Code of Conduct, did it?" NC: So you said this to the employee? JS: That was my last word as he left the building. I had him turn around and said that didn't take a Code of Conduct, did it? NC: Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. JS. He had no response to that. And I was absolutely thrilled to spike the football in his face like that. Because I felt he was duplicitous in the nature of his actions versus his proclaimed beliefs. I enjoyed spiking the football there immensely. [01:32:00] Until not even an hour later when I realized I just banned the wrong employee. The business card that was put down the female attendee's shirt was not the person who did it. It was a co-worker of that person. NC: It still does not excuse his response though. JS: Accurate. Very accurate. On top of that this means that the eye witness report from that very intelligent very amazing person was wrong. And they had no explanation for that. And as it turns out this is something any judge or cop could tell you eye witness reports are notoriously unreliable and inaccurate. This is why by the way it is a good idea to put cameras on cops because even trained police officers have a hard time getting eye witness reports correct. NC: Sure. [01:33:00] JS: Insert delete expletive with many, many exclamation points here. fsck let's to a file system check NC: Ok. I think everybody gets that joke. JS: So that is one of the greatest mistakes I've ever made. Because I nearly destroyed an innocent person's career and the lawyer was as right as ever. I was too busy managing an event. I wanted the problem to go away. I didn't slow down and think skeptically every step of the way and try to be an arbitrator, not a judge. I got swept away in the moment and I nearly ruined that man's career. If it wasn't the woman who had the card put down her shirt coming back and saying, "I don't think that's him. Could you show me photos?" And then by this time corporate HR is involved from the company in question. When corporate HR is involved you know you've entered a new level of Hades and thankfully we eventually got it right but I can't imagine the horror that that person must have lived in for a day or so while they were in limbo being summarily lynched while being innocent. So yeah. Points to the lawyer and no points to me for following his advice I won't make the same mistake twice though. So another thing that comes along with this weird politicalized Code of Conduct thing and again I despise labels because people remove nuance and insert group think when you apply a label but speaking as a generalization because I think as a generalization it does apply. The kind of person who would push these contributor covenant style code of conduct would also be a person who would tend to be more likely to self describe themselves as say a social justice warrior or a progressive. So I'm not saying that agenda is right or wrong but I am saying it is an agenda. The bizarreness is the dichotomy of response you get along these lines. So, for example, the Geek Feminism Wiki started an article tracking females speakers in FOSS events and praising the SouthEast LinuxFest for having so many. [01:36:00] One of the members who was a speaker at SELF that year asked us what we did to have so many female speakers. They were quite shocked when we replied "nothing". We, ok, almost nothing. Technically we did invite / voluntold Wendy Seltzer to come back and talk. She's an amazing person. She works with the EFF She may still be on the board of directors for Tor at the time she was and because she's not as thoroughly embedded in the Linux community as others because for her it is a legal thing, she's a legal mind not a Linux mind. And that's where she's coming into Linux space from, from the law side. And so she's not normally tapped into this community so we reached out because she might not normally keep herself in this sort of community but we want to hear what she has to say. So that was the only thing we did. We solicited her specific talk. That was it. Now this may have contributed in some part [01:37:00] to other FOSS events in the immediacy. Like in the immediate year after that thing went up some other community based events went all out like all female keynotes, all female talk days, all female talk tracks. Like it started becoming a thing within some subsets of the FOSS community events. As though this, I like to call them genitalia based bragging rights. And yes I deliberately say that to be demeaning because I just don't see the relevance of genitalia to content. Maybe that's just me. Put more blatantly. At SELF, at least while I'm selecting speakers, genitalia is irrelevant, not part of the form to submit a talk, and if you do submit it, it's probably in a field which I've truncated when I select the talks so I can select them blindly. More into the dichotomy stuff. I was asked by a prominent Google employee, at SELF, how we were able to have so many black people at SELF. Now they said African-American but there's people in South Africa who apply that label but that label does not fit in the context you are expecting it to be. White's not a bad term. Black shouldn't be a bad term either. It's a simple adjective. So they wanted to know how I quote-unquote did it having so many black people at self and to me this was a segfault. The perspective was so foreign, it was a thought I had literally never even entertained, not even anything tangentially related entertained. For me the thought was, promote the event as best I can, and as wide as I can and whoever shows up shows up. So I looked around and if anything I thought the number of black people there would be less than I would expect from a random sampling for the area. But whatever. I guess I'll try to help you. So I asked him, well where are you holding the events that you're holding that you're not getting this many black people to attend. And the response was "Portland".

Well, as it turns out id_Software_and_others_are_brutally_cut and even some that "broke off" or left Microsoft [1-2] "Amid Divestiture From Xbox" [3] are so badly hit that within a few weeks a quarter of the staff is laid off [4]. This is not a good narrative for Microsoft, which already_faces_lawsuits_over it. █ Related/contextual items from the news: 1. ⚓ Neowin ☛ Psychonauts_studio_Double_Fine_hit_with_layoffs_after_split with_Xbox⠀⇛ Earlier this month, the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma initiated the big "reset" for the Microsoft gaming division she had been talking about for some time. This meant 3,200 layoffs across game development studios, major internal IP changes, and even five first-party Xbox Game Studios being spun off as independent companies or being sold. One of those studios today announced a layoffs wave of its own, affecting almost 30% of the team. Double Fine Productions founder Tim Schafer today announced over social media that 23 members of staff have been let go. The team had been about 80 strong before this. He said the survival of the studio was the only reason this kind of decision would be made and that being independent from Microsoft means it has to have a team size that the company can sustain. 2. ⚓ Newly_Independent_Double_Fine_Has_to_Lay_Off_23_Devs_to_Ensure_Survival of_the_Studio⠀⇛ The cuts were confirmed in a social media post from Tim Schafer, which read: "Today, Double Fine Productions let go of 23 members of our staff. As a small, tightly-knit team, these actions are not taken lightly. Only the survival of our studio would ever make us consider such a painful action. Our transition to becoming an independent company also means becoming a size that we can sustain." 3. ⚓ GO Media ☛ Psychonauts_2_Studio_Double_Fine_Hit_With_Layoffs_Amid Divestiture_From_Xbox⠀⇛ An Xbox spokesperson has shared the following statement with Kotaku: “Double Fine fully returned to independent management earlier this week, with their IP, catalog, and runway for their next games. As they begin their next chapter as an independent studio, we look forward to seeing what they create next.” Xbox declined to comment on how much runway Double Fine has. 4. ⚓ Gamer Network Limited ☛ After_gaining_independence_from_Xbox,_Double Fine_are_laying_off_a_quarter_of_their_staff⠀⇛ It's another one of those days, as Double Fine have announced that they are laying off 23 members of staff. This comes weeks after their split from Xbox that left them independent once more, which also saw South of Midnight developers Compulsion go indie, and State of Decay studio Undead Labs and Senua's Ninja Theory acquired by new, as of yet to be confirmed owners. "Today, Double Fine Productions let go of 23 members of our staff," reads a statement from studio head Tim Schafer. "As a small, tightly-knit team, these actions are not taken lightly. Only the survival of our studio would ever make us consider such a painful action. Our transition to becoming an independent company also means becoming a size that we can sustain. The people we are losing were all important. They all made an impact on our games and culture, and they will be missed." * Over_at_Tux_Machines... * IBM_is_Trying_to_Turn_Debt_(Borrowed_Money)_Into_Fake_Growth_and_It'll Worsen_Matters ⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⠀⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⢸⡿⣫⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣾⣴⣲⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠠⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠨⢷⢹⡧⠌⢁⢀⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣧⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠙⠀⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣰⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⡠⠾⠟⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠁⡼⠀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣄⠄⢄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠖⠀⠠⠾⠿⠿⠿⠿⠋⠐⠐⠂⠀⠀⠈⠉⠿⠓⠘⣸⢟⠙⠛⠕⠔⢀ ⣄⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠛⠇⠀⠀⠂⠉⠉⠉⠉⣽⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠤⢶⣶⡆⢰⣾⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⢨⠛⠋⠁⠀⠠⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⡤⠀⣀⣤⣤⣶⠶⠶⠤⠠⠀⠀⣬⣆⠈⠀⠈⠻⣿⠗⡖ ⠉⣿⣿⣿⡿⠆⠀⠀⣤⡄⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⢀⣴⡇⠀⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠉⢀⣀⣀⣠⡄⢠⣵⣶⣶⣿⡿⠟⢾⠙⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⣀⠀⢀⣤⠤⣤⣲⢂⢀⣉⡤⢀⢀⡀⠩⢐⠉ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⢠⠾⠿⠃⠰⠉⠁⠀⣀⣠⣄⡄⠀⣀⣀⠀⣀⠈⠉⠁⠎⠉⠁⣀⣀⠠⢀⣥⣶⣶⠾⠃⠀⣤⣦⢄⠀⠿⠑⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠈⢻⡇⠉⠈⠁⢀⠝⠀⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⡄⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠇⣸⠋⠉⣀⣈⣤⠔⢲⣀⡀⡀⠈⠉⠰⠉⣁⣀⡠⡤⠀⠈⠓⠉⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠓⠖⢀⡇⢀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠋⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⡃⡿⠛⠋⠉⠁⣀⣠⠠⣰⣾⣿⡿⠿⠛⢠⠋⣀⡠⢄⣀⠀⢤⡀⠉⢓⣉⣤⣤⣶⣾⢿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⡂⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣬⡍⠉⠃⠀⠀⠶⢿⣿⣿⣟⠸⠋⠉⣀⣠⣤⠀⢲⣻⣱⢾⡻⠝⠂⠁⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢠⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠋⠛⠋⡲⢦⡿⣿⡻⠿⠀⢻⠝⠊⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⣀⣀⣀⣄⣒⣖⣞⣋⣅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⠓⡁⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⣿⣇⣣⢣⡇⠶⣿⠐⡇⡈⡅⡇⣾⡇⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢈⠛⠉⠀⠀⠉⠙⡬⠁⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡤⡠⢤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⢀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⣿⠉⣏⣏⡏⡋⣿⣭⡏⣹⢛⣟⠟⡇⠀⠀ ⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⡄⢉⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⡆⣻⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠭⢿⢟⢶⢧⣤⣾⣶⡶⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡟⡾⠿⡾⡷⣷⢛⣻⢣⣞⣶⢿⠧⡇⠀⠀ ⠿⢺⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠈⠁⢸⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣤⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣟⠋⠈⠈⡅⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⢼⣟⣿⣿⣯⣹⣗⣂⣀⡀⣤⣿⣿⠿⣿⡟⠛⠉⢧⡇⢼⠘⡯⡳⣹⢰⡿⢆⠏⣿⠸⡏⠇⠀⠀ ⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢀⠀⠍⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⣿⣼⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⠿⠙⠟⣿⣡⣴⣃⠀⡇⠀⡒⠀⣰⣾⣿⡿⢿⠏⠉⠃⠀⠀⣶⠀⣀⡹⡛⠓⡲⢤⡀⢸⣇⠀⠀⢨⠍⢉⣉⣉⠉⣉⣿⡟⢛⠛⢛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⡎⣿⣿⣿⡇⠐⢦⣼⡄⠀⠀⢀⣟⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣶⣿⣽⣿⡇⣿⣿⣥⣾⡆⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢾⡿⢿⣿⠉⠀⢠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣤⣧⣿⣥⣥⣤⣤⣬⠀⠨⠾⣿⡀⠀⡾⣮⣙⢉⣿⣟⣉⣿⡇⠀⢀⡒⢂⣤⣴⡄⣀ ⠀⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⠁⠀⡀⣀⢸⣿⣧⠙⠷⠟⠟⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⣽⡿⢻⣿⡅⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢻⢛⣿⠀⣠⡼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠠⣌⣟⣎⠁⠃⠄⠰⡾⠟⠉⣿⢟⡄⡂⢬⣷⡞⠁⠀⢲⣬ ⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡧⢿⣿⣿⣮⢿⣿⠀⣀⡀⣿⣿⣿⡿⢼⡿⠉⠀⠀⠹⠇⢸⣿⣿⡿⣣⣿⣶⣟⣋⣠⣾⢿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡂⠀⣾⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠐⡆⠉⠁⠀⠀⣏⢀ ⠀⢘⣿⣿⣿⣿⠐⠀⣿⢠⠎⠈⣿⡄⣤⡀⢸⠹⢏⣻⣿⠕⣀⡨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣳⣿⣿⣿⢿⡁⠁⣴⠀⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠂⢙⠀⠄⠀⢘⣿⣿ ⠀⠁⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠔⣷⢸⣤⣇⠷⠿⠘⠅⠀⣀⡀⠈⠀⢰⣟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣯⣯⣸⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣭⡁⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠐⠸⡄⠂⠀⢸⠀⠈ ⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠃⣿⡅⣻⠾⠍⠁⡀⠀⠸⣿⡄⠶⣸⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣉⣻⣿⣏⣽⣯⣝⢿⢻⢥⣀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⡤⡞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⡼⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⢸⣿⣿⣶⣶⣯⠀⠀⢹⠇⢀⡇⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡷⠅⠀⠈⠉⠛⠒⠶⠦⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠃⢀⡇⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⡿⣿⣿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠀⢀⠃⠀⣰⢣⡄⠀ ⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⢺⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠸⠀⠈⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⡟⠛⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⣰⣶⢀⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⢸⠁⠀⠟⠈⠃⠀ ⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢾⣿⣿⠈⣿⣿⣿⡆⢀⣼⢾⡇⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠠⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢶⣾⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⣄⠀ ⣿⣤⣴⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⢠⣼⣿⡟⢀⣻⣿⡉⠁⣸⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠓⠒⠒⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠒⠀⠀⠠⣶⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣛⣋⣛⡃⠀⠀⣾⣿⣷⠀⢸⣿⠟⠀⠄⣿⣛⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡄⢸⣿⣿⡿⠟⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⢡ ⣟⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠘⠃⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠤⠤⠀⠀⠠⠤⠤⡴⠦⢶⣦⠀⠀⢰⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠅⢀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠉⢻⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠈ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠘⠛⠻⠉⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣘⣚⣛⢻⠀⠀⣛⣛⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠷⠿⠟⠀⠀⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣏⣁⡀⠀⣄⣤⣬⡀⠀⢀⣠⣤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢐⣶⡄⠉⠙⠋⠃⠈⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⢗⠀⠀⣿⣿⡀⠀⣤⠀⠐⠒⠶⠂⠀⠀⠤⠄⠀⢤⡐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⣼⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡿⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣄⠀⢀⢖⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣄⣀⣰⠀⣠⣤⡄⠈⠋⠀⠀⠙⠻⠶⣤⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⣤⠀⢀⣤⡄⠀⣄⣀⣀⣠⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠷⠀⠀⠤⣄⢅⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀ ⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣄⣀⣬⣝⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠻⢿⠿⠉⣵⣾⣿⣿⣯⣀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢉⣙⣻⣿⣿⣭⣤⡀⠈⠀⠀⠈⢙⠩⠤⠶⢶⣾⣭⠉⣑⡂⢀⡙⠛⠓⠒⠂⠀⠀⣀⣤⠀ ⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣍⣋⣙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣟⣂⣐⠛⠍⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢧⣤⣶⣤⣤⣤⣀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣭⣿⣿⣿⣃⣠⣂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠐⢓ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡖⢻⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣭⣭⣭⣽⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2854 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/Not_Only_Loonies_Take_on_Farage.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/Not_Only_Loonies_Take_on_Farage.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Not Only "Loonies Take on Farage"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇‘Show MPs how stupid they are’: Loonies take on Farage⦈ Rupert Murdoch's "The_Australian" (News_Corp_Australia) has a new article that has just mentioned an Australian, Daniel_Pocock, but then pretends that the opposition to the right wing is "Loonies". Remember that Murdoch himself is right wing and he exercises political interference using his media empire, which includes "Trump TV" (Fox).

Victims and witnesses were invited to make both formal submissions and anonymous reports through the parliament's web site. Participants were told our contact details would be private, even if details from our testimonies were included in the public report. Your contact details, including your address, email and phone number, will not be published. We ask these questions for verification purposes only. Nonetheless, when the committee published their report today they accidentally used the CC function rather than BCC to send the report to all the cult victims and witnesses. Therefore, we all received names and contact details for other victims/witnesses. About ten years ago, the 56 Dean Street HIV clinic in London made a similar error. The group CC leaked the names and contact details of numerous patients with HIV positive status. They were ordered to pay_a_fine_of_£180,000 and they may have been subject to civil litigation too. Subject: RE: LA LSIC | Inquiry into the recruitment methods and impacts of cults and organised fringe groups – final report published Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 03:31:53 +0000 From: COFG To: COFG Good afternoon, We would like to sincerely apologise for the email sent earlier today in which recipient email addresses were inadvertently included in the CC field. Due to an administrative technical error during the distribution process, the email was sent with visible recipient details. We understand the importance of protecting personal information and regret this mistake. To help minimise any further disclosure of information, we kindly ask that you delete the email from your inbox and any related folders (including Sent Items if applicable), and refrain from forwarding or sharing its contents. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. We are reviewing our processes to help prevent a similar incident from occurring in the future. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at cofg@parliament.vic.gov.au . Kind regards, Legal and Social Issues Committee Secretariat Legislative Assembly Parliament of Victoria +61 3 8682 2628 parliament.vic.gov.au This immediately prompted communication between people who have been exposed. For those who want to see if their cult is named in the official report, please obtain_a_copy_here. I sent an email to the group: Subject: COFG Cults inquiry: your invitation, did you feel passed over? Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 From: Daniel Pocock To: [ redacted ] Were you invited to speak to the committee or did you feel you were passed over? After my earlier thank-you message to the committee, some people indicated you felt left out. If you have $30,000, you can buy preselection in a political party, get into parliament and publish anything under parliamentary privilege. For everybody else, an alternative report will be published on IPFS,_a_technical_solution that_is_equivalent_to_parliamentary_privilege. Catalonia used IPFS to publish information during their independence campaign. Did the report address your concerns or did they make no mention of you? Do you have leaks or other material that you would like to publish anonymously but you can't do so in Australia? Were you impressed by JuristGate, my takedown of the judicial Establishment in Switzerland? What about the Cult of Prince Alfred and the 15 14_year_old_princess petition that cursed the Commonwealth Games? 25 July 2013, somebody leaked my resignation from the ALP to Crikey. It compared the Catholic_abuse_scandal to the politicians who abuse refugees so they can make themselves look bigger. My_COFG_submission (censored) included evidence about the proximity of Ben Carroll, churches, states and abuse. Some snippets about Ben Carroll's proximity are published at the bottom of my_report_about Jeremy_Bicha (incest, pastor cover-up) and the death_of_Adrian_von Bidder_on_our_wedding_day (linked to EVP / Swiss Protestant Party). Over $US120,000 has been spent to try and censor those reports. An unknown amount of money has been spent to try_and_shut_down Techrights, an independent British web site that publishes similar evidence about the incidence of abuse and [choose your definition of the Establishment]. Look at the irony. Jacinta Allan and Jess Wilson are both brought up in political families. They are products of the system, like children of cults. The way they chewed up Jacinta and spat her out again smells like a human sacrifice. Brittany Higgins too. Check the true meaning of the word Scapegoat (from Wikipedia): "A scapegoat is one of a pair of goats used in the Yom Kippur Temple service during the era of the Temple in Jerusalem. The scapegoat had a band of red wool placed on it, and was then released into the wilderness, taking with it all the sins and impurities of the people as an act of symbolic atonement. The other goat was sacrificed." It is creepy. First they lynched Will Fowles. Dan Andrews was Premier but he was exercising powers reserved for a judge, making declarations about guilt and innocence. On_top_of_that,_Dan_has_a history_with_those_he_has_judged_(proof,_with_photos,_in_my_reports on_the_subject). In other words, by pretending he is God, ignoring conflict of interest, bypassing the judges and exercising such enormous humiliation over another man, Dan Andrews turned the parliamentary Labour party into something like a cult. Then they used Jacinta's dismissal at the last minute before an election to bury the bigger legacy of Dan Andrews. In the ancient tradition of the Scapegoat ritual so described, which goat is which? Jacinta's male successor will have a 3 month honeymoon period to blame any newly disclosed scandals on the goat they used for this filler period between Andrews' exit and Carroll's ascent. Cults come in many shapes and sizes. You have a right to talk about it. Sharing your experience can help other people too. Thank you for anything you already contributed, whether it was published or not. If you want to send me anything or participate in a community-led report or video then please don't hesitate to get in touch. More videos are coming too. Regards, Daniel -- https://danielpocock.com Follow with RSS: https://danielpocock.com/rss.xml Each time I reach out to victims, somebody else seems to come forward with something new.

This seems to be happening again, but this time involving another person he had sued frivolously. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Reform UK's Tice Sues Dale Vince In Widening Gaza Libel Row⦈ Contributing to the perception of "defamation troll", Brett Wilson LLP filed six lawsuits in short succession for this man. He's by far their "biggest" client and one that proves difficult [1, 2] because he is "thin skinned", according to one of his targets. As usual when it comes to Brett Wilson LLP, however, they are omitting details and only selectively cover things (what suits them is emphasised, the rest entirely omitted). In the past, they tried to push to a judge a lopsided summary with half-truths (or lies by omission) about me. The judge agrees with me that this was biased and in effect threw away their draft. This means that people must pay very careful attention to what they don't say or are attempting to hide (or even discredit by immature name-calling). In my opinion, Brett Wilson LLP now puts the credibility of UK courts at risk. The High Court and Court of Appeal need to recognise they are being gamed by hired guns to bully people, typically by abuse of process. As noted above, last year they poured out several hundreds of pages they know the judges (not just the Chief Judge) would not follow very meticulously, then gave a false/misleading summary/conclusion. This is what they did for years and have done since 2024 (we have lots of evidence of this pattern). Repeatedly in fact. They throw bulks of material, then give a false short summary of it. It is like social control media, which they use a lot (they still use the racist site that produces child porn, x.com). Worse yet, they completely hide cases of theirs that do not bear success. Weeks ago they were spending ample space and time trying to piggyback the Prince Harry case - a case they have absolutely nothing to do with (but the media is endlessly covering this because of celebrity appeal; they've used that to interject their brand or in other words, marketing) while totally omitting, or just intentionally ignoring, an_important_Court_of_Appeal_determination (unlike another_one). In short, a judge saw them consistently throwing "GDPR" into cases where the basis is weak, nonexistent, or wholly inapplicable. They appealed that decision to the Court of Appeal, then made a lot of noise about it while completely ignoring the one concerning Tice. Why? Today I issued_a_statement_on_a_recent_judgement. As usual, the other side wants people to ignore how much they lost. █ Previous Parts: 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_1_Out_of_200:_Claim_No._KB-2024-001270_in 03-03 a_Nutshell 2026-

Incompetence - Part II - 77 Messages Sent, Did Not Even Investigate or Examine Any of the Actual Evidence (British Taxpayers' Money Wasted)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 29, 2026 In Part_I, which was published way back in March (around the time the death threats began), we said that SRA had become known (even notorious) for inaction. Lots of people out there say the same. Lots_and_lots. Even taken on a statistical basis, with a very considerable sample set, this is how the SRA fares based on 413 reviews. The slop_summary says "[p]eople found the service pointless and useless, often describing it as a waste of taxpayer money and failing to uphold proper standards." 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Solicitors Regulation Authority reviews⦈ So do not rush to say we're just an "angry" edge case or that the "hired_guns" are innocent. To be clear, "NO ACTUAL INVESTIGATION WAS DONE" (and it seems like the common sort of handling, based on the above reviews). As a sort of outline, consider how many messages were sent back and forth before we basically gave up, seeing the SRA wasn't doing anything except sending useless communications back and forth without_even_investigating_any_of the_evidence: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA): Your report about Brett Wilson LLP⦈ In the next few parts we'll examine some of the early stages of the complaints process. Towards the end we'll also show that any complaints about the SRA's own service... are dealt with by the SRA itself! This is sometimes known (in slang) as "arse-covering". The only productive outlet for complaints about the SRA is the open Web. Moreover, if only taxpayers knew how much money is wasted on the SRA pretending to regulate the SRA would be defunded, shut down, and replaced by something new that actually has "teeth". █ *

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Do_what_I_say,_EPO_peasant!!⦈_ The Central Staff Committee at the EPO has contacted management and left some information for staff to see. Having spoken about EPO PIPs several times this morning, consider the upcoming performance reviews that cause anxiety. Quoting the Committee regarding a letter to "Alicante_Mafia": Open letter to VP1 and the COO Dear Colleagues, The Central Staff Committee (CSC) has been alerted by numerous colleagues to significant pressure exerted on them during mid-year reviews, even though it is evident that these same colleagues are participating in the ongoing industrial action. We would like to recall that lost production on strike days cannot be expected to be recovered. Furthermore, reduced timeliness and productivity are direct consequences of colleagues’ current response to the calls from their unions. We expect DG1 management to respect the principles repeatedly established in case law, namely that participation in collective action must not adversely affect neither the careers nor the perspective of rewards of the individuals involved, whether their union involvement is explicit or not. In this open letter to Mr Rowan (VP1) and Mr Aledo Lopez (COO), the CSC raises concerns against staff reports containing statements constituting serious infringements of trade union freedom and remains at their disposal to consider how this exceptional year can be documented, if at all feasible. The full letter: European Patent Office 80298 Munich Germany Central Staff Committee Comité central du personnel Zentraler Personalausschuss centralSTCOM@epo.org Reference: sc26057cl Date: 23/07/2026 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⠀➾ Mid-terms reviews Dear Mr Rowan, Dear Mr Aledo Lopez, We have been alerted by numerous colleagues to significant pressure exerted on them during mid-year reviews, even though it is evident that these same colleagues are participating in the ongoing industrial action. We would like to recall that lost production on strike days cannot be expected to be recovered. Furthermore, reduced timeliness and productivity are direct consequences of colleagues’ current response to the calls from their unions. We expect DG1 management to respect the principles repeatedly established in case law, namely that participation in collective action must not adversely affect neither the careers nor the perspective of rewards of the individuals involved, whether their union involvement is explicit or not. For this reason, we also remind you that, as written records remain, any entry in SuccessFactors that could harm the colleagues concerned may justify conciliation procedures or even appeals. Statements such as “production (or productivity/timeliness) is below expectations” or “person X is participating in industrial action” could constitute serious infringements of trade union freedom (this list is, of course, not exhaustive). We would also like to draw your attention to the fact that line managers are only required to report that a meeting has taken place and that a performance review has been carried out. Further details are not required. You will have noted that the unions have extended the ongoing actions until the end of the year, or at least until mid-October. We continue to believe that the best way to resolve industrial action is to sit down at the negotiating table. However, should the action continue for such a long period, it is already time to consider how a final annual report could be established without disadvantaging colleagues. Otherwise, an unprecedented wave of conciliation procedures and litigation cases can be expected. The Central Staff Committee therefore remains at your disposal to consider how this exceptional year can be documented, if at all feasible, in SuccessFactors.

We cannot divulge the details just yet, but disclosure of the mere plan - a plan to have them both in tandem - probably does not cross the line. 35 years ago Moglen_recalled_what_Stallman_said_when_he_found_out_about_the growing_threat_of_software_patents. They spoke together, collaborated, and of course worked in the same board for many years. 20 years ago when this site was set up (WordPress_was_vastly_lighter_at_the time) by_Shane he told me that Moglen was a hero to him. He loved his talks very much and they inspired him, as a teacher based in the US. They're both American teachers. Moglen is still giving good talks [1, 2]; one impediment to such public engagement is health problems. Moglen also spent years on defensive_litigation and we_can_relate. People who challenge power (such as GAFAM) won't_be_left alone. There's infinite budget devoted to discrediting critics and bribing scholars. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Bank_Holiday_Weekend

Claim_That_the_Board_of_Directors_at_IBM_Isn't_Happy_With_How_the Company_is_Run 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Board_of_Directors_at_IBM⦈_ According to the "official" numbers - excluding contractors - 264,300 (as of 2025, now_fewer) people work at IBM under Arvind Krishna, who seems to have spent IBM's budget on puff pieces glorifying himself rather than pointing the finger at him, the main culprit. A few minutes ago somebody_wrote "for the record, IBM only looks after it's executives. The US employees are considered TRASH. And Indian employees are unreplaceable." [sic] "Same here," someone said about getting canned by IBM to be left without health insurance/coverage, "I would gladly retire without severance if Healthcare coverage would be bridged to 65." Another person then said, "it's completely despicable to be "retired" by IBM after nearly 30 years of service and not receive a full bridge to Medicare for you and your family. I am entitled to the FHA or future health account but with my family of four it will pay for at most nine months of healthcare for just three of us. This is what they gave me in place of lifetime medical coverage that I was promised when I first joined the company. Honestly, IBM needs to be sued into oblivion." Elsewhere someone said_that "all our leaders should be held accountable. All of them down to your manager. We all know it and we all feel it. IBM is not in a good place and it’s long past time for a reckoning" (it is dying). Last night somebody asked: "Tell me one thing that is not overpriced these days at IBM?" The answer: "Employee salaries." Except the CEO and his cronies. The_CEO_has_made_himself_a_billionaire. This is very similar to what's happening at the EPO, "Europe's_Second-Largest Institution" with its_"PIPs". █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Exploring MASSIVE Abandoned IBM Corporate Complexes (TOTALLY TRASHED)⦈

research, "Vacuum Syndrome" is not a 'thing' or a convenient metaphor, at least not yet, so maybe we sort of coin it in this one particular context. We often assert or even rant_that there_is_a_severe_vacuum_in_media_coverage, especially when it comes to particular topics. This is either because of deep cuts across the press ("industry") or shallow, weak coverage, which mostly parrots press releases and/or official statements that contain falsehoods but help the "rich and powerful". Therein lies the "business model", sometimes known as "PR". "Vacuum Syndrome" as a concept helps explain a positive thing - an opportunity. Because sometimes we look for information regarding IBM, the EPO, or Red Hat layoffs... and what comes up on the Web is... our own articles. Those articles are not false or merely hypothetical. They contain leaked evidence. If our articles are unique enough and present exclusive evidence, we stand to gain from the vacuum. █ =============================================================================== Image source:

⦇Microsoft and Facebook⦈ "Earnings" is a misleading term, more so compared to "revenue" or "income" or "profit" etc. But Wall Street always loves "happy stories" and the old people who run Wall Street love "happy_endings..." 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Bill Gates caught STD from Russian girls, Epstein claimed; entrusted by Epstein for his will; The right-hand man of Bill, understatement to say they're close⦈ Can we trust these people? No. Tonight, when Meta Platforms, Inc. and Microsoft Corporation announce their "profits" those won't really be profits; one_must_offset_those_against_1.6 trillion_dollars_in_GAFAM_debt. "Hidden" or "secret" debt. Then and only then it will be crystal clear why they frantically lay off their staff. The US economic system is only as honest as the people who govern it. █ * The_Vacuum_Syndrome * Jeremy_Sands_Explained_the_Harms_of_Codes_of_Conduct

As a reminder, there were reports about Red Hat's CEO becoming IBM's CEO, not a mere "President". It never happened. Hours ago somebody_wrote: "Why the board chose Arvind over former RedHat CEO, Jim Whitehurst, is mind boggling. They should share blame here and reap what they sowed." As techrights-news recalls it, "Jim AllowHURST came AFTER Arvind, so the issue is, Arvind Krishna REFUSED to step aside/down..." Krishna's arrogance is a subject of much dissent inside the company. He never admits mistakes. We need leaks. Whistleblowers_are_essential_now. Whistleblowers told us IBM was laying off about 500 Red Hat engineers earlier this year (leaks_proved_it; insiders later said 400+ impacted) when IBM was trying to hide it. Hardly anyone in the media mentioned it and, as such, LLM slop will likely treat this fact as an unsubstantiated myth/hearsay. █ * Call_for_IBM_Whistleblowers * WordPress_is_Technical_Debt ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⡿⢛⢿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣭⣭⣭⡎⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣙⣷⣿⡇⣿⣀⣍⣍⣇⣿⣨⣈⣋⣸⣿⣸⣰⣿⣏⣹⣰⣉⣍⣹⣏⠙⢼⣿⣹⣉⣏⣉⣯⣍⣇⣷⣎⣏⣿⣀⣅⣣⣣⣿⣩⣁⣇⣩⣉⣇⣸⣏⣉⣭⣇⣺⣈⣏⣸⣷⣸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠷⠶⠾⡇⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢩⠿⣿⡇⣯⠩⠛⢻⠉⠙⠛⢛⠛⠛⠋⠋⠛⠛⡿⠛⠛⡛⠙⠛⢻⠛⠛⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣭⣾⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡯⠋⠏⠛⠛⠏⢻⢛⡛⡛⠻⠛⠛⠙⠉⠹⠛⠛⠟⠟⠝⢫⠉⠉⠋⢏⠛⠛⠟⠻⠛⠛⠋⠛⢯⠙⠛⠛⠻⠋⠿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⠿⢟⣾⡟⠶⢿⣿⠛⣿⡿⢿⡟⠿⠟⠿⢟⣿⠿⠾⠿⠿⠟⣿⣻⠿⣿⢻⠿⣿⣿⠿⡛⠿⡟⡿⠿⢾⡿⠾⢷⣿⣻⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣷⣷⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣾⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣶⣤⣿⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣾⣿⣶⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣟⣜⣋⣉⣆⣊⠉⣉⣯⣈⣌⣉⢙⣁⣁⣀⣉⣉⣇⣄⣂⣉⣩⡉⣉⣏⣄⣊⣉⣍⣉⣩⣉⣉⣑⣛⣈⣙⣩⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣟⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⣿⡏⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⡉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⣿⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣨⣿⣅⣸⣧⣉⣨⣫⣭⣿⣇⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣯⢹⡟⣛⠻⠛⣛⠇⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣿⣶⣆⣷⣷⣇⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠸⣬⣿⡇⣟⠉⠩⠉⡭⠛⠛⠹⢻⠉⠛⢻⠉⠟⠛⠛⠛⠙⢛⠛⠟⠛⢿⠹⠛⠛⠋⠉⠍⠛⡛⠉⠋⠛⠋⠉⠛⠉⠏⠻⠍⢩⠉⠉⢙⠛⠉⢩⠙⠛⠙⠋⠛⠋⠛⠋⠛⠋⣿⣿⡇⣯⣭⣽⡇⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⣿⣿⡇⣿⣻⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⡇⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢛⣿⣿⡇⣷⣶⣶⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣘⣴⣿⡇⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣯⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣃⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⢛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 5835 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/WordPress_is_Technical_Debt.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/07/29/WordPress_is_Technical_Debt.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ WordPress is Technical Debt⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Techrights Birthday (14 Years)⦈ 3 years ago we abandoned WordPress. It was a much-belated success story as for reasons_specified_a_decade_earlier we had long planned to abandon WordPress. More and more reasons added up, even before WordPress and especially WordPress.com became slop-ware (LLM integration that users mostly loathed; data was also being passed for training plagiarism). At the moment we discuss how to retroactively import "categories" (what WordPress calls these) from ~38,000 old ("o" in the URL hierarchy) pages onto the newer system, which is ingested into our_search_facility (independent_and hosted_locally). This is the sort of technical debt one gets for spending many years entering a lot of stuff into WordPress, a large parcel of code that gets more complicated and bloated as the years go back (instead of becoming simpler, smaller, more compact, ergo earlier and cheaper to maintain). With Automattic getting carried away by the_slop_bubble, WordPress is also becoming a liability to the environment, hence to the planet. There are a number of technical tasks underway and maybe some testing (this coming weekend or later). █ * Will_Red_Hat_Still_Exist_in_2027_or_Just_Become_a_"Brand"_at_IBM? * Troll-Feeding_is_Time-Wasting ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠤⠶⠴⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠴⠖⠶⠴⠒⢲⣖⣒⣒⣲⣒⣂⣂⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣠⣠⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠈⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠠⠔⠒⠲⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀ ⣓⣻⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⣞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿ ⣿⣧⣤⣬⣴⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠚⠉⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠒⠻⠿⠿⠿⠽⠿⠯⠙⠛⠋⠛⠉⠉⠋⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 5911 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Gemini Links 29/07/2026: Arosa, Tired Tuesday, and Constellation Browser⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 29, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Switzerland_adm_location_map⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Politics_and_World_Events o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ Apples⠀⇛ We went to visit a friend who has an apple tree in her garden and collected two bags full of apples. A lot of rotten ones, with worms and what not. Peeling them and cutting off the good parts took a very long time. We stopped after a while and watched an episode of Silo, then we went back to doing apples. # ⚓ Arosa⠀⇛ If you want a pretty spectacular train ride that is not too far from Zürich you could go to Chur and from there up to Arosa. The train slowly climbs up a narrow valley – along the valley side. # ⚓ A_Tired_Tuesday⠀⇛ First blog post on here! Hopefully the first of many A rather lazy day today. Spent a lot of time with my neighbor and didn't have much to do at work. I'm in the part of any relationship where I'm excited about the new friend, hanging out together, and getting to learn a lot about someone in a short time, and just reveling in that while it lasts. I'd helped her move in a few weeks ago now, we'd found each other on a dating app, some chatting on that later and we became fast friends. She's looking to get into more videogames, and taking the chance to shamelessly shill things I enjoy, I recommended Warframe to her for an MMO and In Stars and Time for a singleplayer RPG. The former is one of the only MMOs I've enjoyed (even if it's really more a shooter with a large playerbase) and I thought she'd like the narrative and characters in the latter. Here's hoping either one or both reccommendations pan out for her. # ⚓ spill_out⠀⇛ the same words same thoughts picking up speed something will soon spill out o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ what_if?_after_party⠀⇛ - Have you voted yet? - No what is this vote about? - Well, I am the president for the party for party, and we're democratizing the right to party after the party.

Anshan is famous for Anshan Steel, once the largest industry in China (during the early period of industrialisation of the People's Republic of China). It also has some nice tourist attractions that we visited, such as a zoo with two lovely pandas, a giant Buddha carved from a single block of jade, and the Thousand Mountains national park. I found a lovely coffee shop near where we were staying, Ri Changxuming Cafe. Actually, this is just how my phone translated the name, I'm not sure how to actually write the name in English. They had the name "County Road Cafe" also printed, so we will go with that as their name. # ⚓ Star_Trek_(—not_actually_about_Star_Trek)⠀⇛ It was a small, church youth-group event. Barely that. A few young teens, myself barely out of pre- adolescence, getting together to watch a movie. Maybe it was a sports game, I dunno. It wasn’t fantasy or sci-fi, so it was boring and dull to me. Can I watch Star Trek: The Next Generation instead? Because I’m kind of a little shit, and have yet to develop any real self-awareness, or genuine politeness behind my dutifully-memorized manners. There’s a TV in just the next room, I can watch it there. Zachary declares that he’d rather watch that, too, and goes with me. I don’t know Zachary, he’s Jeremiah’s friend. I barely know Jeremiah, either. But it’s his house we’re at. I think. So we watch. Jean-Luc and Geordi and Data and Dianna. Star Trek isn’t boring. Star Trek is never boring. # ⚓ I'm_retired_and_it_feels_so_good!⠀⇛ Well, I try my best to be just like I am, but everybody wants you to be just like them! They sing, while they slave... and I just get bored! o § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ ODEs_in_GNU_Octave⠀⇛ In short, after learning a few basic interface details, you can use Octave to get a numerical solution for any system of non-linear ODEs. The interface can only work with first-order ODEs, so that any higher order ODE must first be broken down into a set of first-order ODEs. Thankfully, all higher-order ODEs can be converted into a set of first-order ODEs through variable substitution, and the process for doing this is not very difficult, though it makes the code and comments more cluttered and verbose. From Internet research, I see that MATLAB has a function odeToVectorField which is meant to do that conversion step for you, but as far as I can tell nothing like that has been implemented in Octave yet. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

I think it’s the ability to think slowly and clearly. Smart engineers can think clearly, but they can only think clearly at high speed. Strong engineers can think clearly all the time, even if their highest speed isn’t quite as fast.

The fact that you can't see the screen of the X-Pro 3 by default pretty strongly deters chimping, and while you can absolutely achieve the same effect with other cameras through discipline and willpower, it's definitely increased the immersion I feel when shooting. I do flip out the screen from time to time to play with film simulations and white balance, but I've been enjoying the practice of coming home with very little idea of how my shots turned out and going through it on my computer as a wind-down routine. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ How_The_Vagus_Nerve_Promotes_Healthy_Cognition Via_Acetylcholine_Signaling⠀⇛ Key to the gut-brain connection is the vagus nerve, an essential part of the autonomic nervous system that wires the brain into the body’s organs, including the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It provides both sensory and motor fibers, so that the brain can literally sense the state of said GI tract, with various triggers as result. One of these is – as demonstrated in the paper – the release of acetylcholine (aCh) an important neurotransmitters in the CNS for cognitive functions including attention, memory and motivation. # ⚓ Idiomdrottning ☛ No_screen_without_a_matching_TODO_item⠀⇛ My war against Screen and against Online is over and this is the peace treaty: No screen without a matching TODO item.

The senator cited “multiple recent and devastating hacking campaigns” targeting VPNs and remote-access systems, including products from Cisco, Fortinet, Ivanti and Check Point. # ⚓ Dark Reading ☛ Thousands_of_Data_Center_Controllers_Open_to Takeover⠀⇛ Researchers at Lava discovered the flaw when researching Internet-exposed Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs) for vulnerabilities and said it found evidence of attackers having exploited the issue in the wild. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Samsung’s_SmartThings_API_Terminates_Free Access⠀⇛ SmartThings was originally a 2012 Kickstarter campaign that ended up becoming successful enough that the company was bought by Samsung in 2014. Its current offerings are very much like other so- called Smart Home products, with recently support for Matter and thus interoperability with third- party devices added. # ⚓ CompaniesMarketCap ☛ Largest_software_companies_by_market cap⠀⇛ Companies: 478 # § So-Called 'Artificial Intelligence' ('AI') / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ Spotify's_AI_Problem_Is_So_Bad_Random People_Are_Stepping_In_to_Track_the_Slop⠀⇛ This confusion could have been avoided if Spotify had done what many of its users and critics have been begging it to do since AI music generators like Suno and Udio made it trivial to flood the [Internet] with AI music. Spotify could flag Slime Dot and other AI-generated music on its platform as such. Other platforms, like YouTube, already do this. # ⚓ Numeric Citizen ☛ About_a_potential_AI_bubble⠀⇛ [...] What worries me, actually, is the impact of this crisis on my finances. [...] # ⚓ Lzon ☛ What_if_useful_AI_is_a_fantasy?⠀⇛ I see a clear trend in my use of AI for programming, and that trend ultimately is to use it less. First I gave up on “set and forget” vibe coding, and transitioned to an active, guided approach. Still feeling frustrated and unsatisfied, I’ve recently transitioned to AI assisted ideation: attempting to build those large mental models just through conversation with the AI, and then writing the actual code on my own, just as I always have. # ⚓ Jono Alderson ☛ SEO_vs_GEO_is_the_wrong_question⠀⇛ This is why the SEO versus GEO debate starts from the wrong question. Understanding how language models retrieve information, weigh evidence and construct recommendations is clearly valuable. Learning how to influence those processes will become an important capability. But “AI visibility” is a slippery proxy. A system can cite your page without recommending your business, and the same prompt can produce different sources from one run to the next. Ray’s research into self- promotional listicles shows how easily citation and recommendation can diverge. Citation volume matters only insofar as it improves how the business is understood, considered and chosen. Treating that capability as “the new SEO” still shrinks a fundamental shift in marketing into another optimisation discipline. # ⚓ David Mead ☛ So_tired_of_these_shit_AI_tools⠀⇛ I am so tired of every company feeling the need to shoehorn in an AI helper. To be honest I've found zero use for any of them, and they are all a bit shit. Take a banking app I have. # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Pluralistic:_Discernment_(28_Jul 2026)⠀⇛ In other words, I lack the discernment to evaluate the output of the chatbot that Tao exchanged theories with. If you showed me an equally opaque transcript of a "conversation" between a chatbot and a crank with AI psychosis whose math made no sense whatsoever, I couldn't make an a priori judgment about which one was a solid piece of mathematical theorizing and which one was a math-flavored word-salad. As many skilled programmers can attest, chatbots can produce very useful output – but as even the most ardent AI-assisted coder will admit, chatbot-written code is also full of baffling, obvious errors (and subtle, hard-to-spot ones): [...] # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ Sam_Altman:_Guys,_we’re_in_the Singularity_now⠀⇛ You’ll get better and more coherent predictions from a 1-900 telephone psychic. # ⚓ NDTV ☛ Al-Qaida_And_ISIS_Are_Using_AI_Very Differently._Here's_How⠀⇛ Artificial intelligence may not create a new kind of terrorism, but it makes existing tactics cheaper, faster and easier. That is the central argument of a July 2026 report from the US-based think tank Centre for Strategic and International Studies. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ HK_judge_Wilson_Chan_to_retire early_after_repeatedly_committing_plagiarism⠀⇛ In the latest instance of plagiarism, Chan was found to have copied large parts of the defence’s opening and closing arguments in a HK$40 million shares dispute between Koo Ming-kown, the founder of digital products company Nam Tai Electronics, and Koo’s former brother-in-law. Koo lost the case initially but won an appeal this month, with the Court of Appeal finding that 95 per cent of Chan’s judgement was plagiarised. The case was ordered to be retried before another judge. # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ If_You're_Reading_This,_You're_Probably_an AI_Bot⠀⇛ As the New York Times points out in a fresh report, Google results are directing more and more people to…Google, and that’s it. Generally, there’s an AI Overview at the top of a results page for any given informational search, and perhaps that’s enough for many queries. But a study from Growth Memo referenced by the Times says 75% of people who find themselves using AI Mode, stay in AI mode rather than switching to the web. And if you’re in AI Mode, that means you’re just hanging out chatting with the bot while Google’s AI agents flit around trying to answer your question. But the point is that whether users tend to stop at the AI Overview, or engage with it and end up in AI Mode, “more than 50% of traffic on the Internet is now non-human,” a Cloudflare report from earlier this month says. As less and less human traffic comes from Google Search, and more and more ads are being shown to bots, the danger is that the business model of a free and open web will become unsustainable. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Bank_for_charities_pulls_online_services over_security_fears⠀⇛ CAF Bank, which serves 14,000 charities, has suspended online banking as it fixes a vulnerability in how third-party software connects to its portal. The outage has left some organizations struggling to run payroll after being cut from their accounts. In a message to customers, seen by The Register, the Charities Aid Foundation-owned bank confirm online services had been unavailable since July 24 and will remain so until further notice. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ DEF_CON_bans_Meta-style_'pervert glasses'⠀⇛ Statements made via its social media channels went on to say that no exceptions will be made for those using the devices with prescription lenses. “Be sure to pack non-violating eyewear if you need them,” DEF CON said, before directing delegates to the conference’s official photo policy. # ⚓ The Record ☛ UK_court_rejects_Bahrain_immunity_claim in_spyware_case⠀⇛ The men now live in the U.K., where they filed a lawsuit contending that they are owed damages from Bahrain for the mental harm they suffered. The alleged hacking by officials in Bahrain “allowed access to and exfiltration of information on the computers, interception of communications conducted using the computers and use of the computers’ microphones and cameras to surveil the respondents,” according to the court opinion. # ⚓ UK ☛ JUDGMENT:_The_Kingdom_of_Bahrain_(Appellant)_v Shehabi_and_another_(Respondents) [PDF]⠀⇛ 6. Conclusion For all these reasons, I would allow the appeal. # ⚓ Cyble Inc ☛ Employment_Scams_Target_Job_Seekers_As FBI,_LinkedIn_Warn⠀⇛ Employment scams are increasingly being used to target job seekers, with the FBI and LinkedIn joining forces to educate applicants about fraudulent job opportunities and the warning signs of potential exploitation. The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center received 24,688 reports of employment scam victimization in 2025, with nearly $363 million in reported losses. The FBI defines employment fraud as a scheme designed to deceive someone into believing they have been, or could soon be, hired for a job. However, officials warn that these schemes are not always focused on stealing money from victims. They can also be used to recruit money mules, collect personally identifiable information, or force people into labor. # ⚓ Nick Heer ☛ Links_to_Claude_Chats_Were_Indexed_by Google_and_‘Bing’,_Whatever_That_Is⠀⇛ Search engines do not automatically discover new URLs as they are created. They are typically indexed by taking one of two actions: either the site owner submits URLs to search engines — by using a site map, for example, or by manually submitting the page for indexing — or by someone linking to the URL from a different already-indexed page. The critical thing left unreported in Varner’s article is whether these Claude links were being indexed thanks to Anthropic’s actions or those of users. # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ Chrome_forces_Gemini_global_shortcut onto_your_Mac⠀⇛ Google doesn’t have the same control over desktop computers. But in MacOS on the Apple Macintosh, any application can set a keyboard shortcut that works globally — in any other app. If you install the Chrome web browser, pressing control-G — and in one report, shift-command-G — in any app brings up a Gemini window. Even if the app was already using that key combination. Chrome doesn’t ask first, or tell you when it takes the key. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Trump_asks_Supreme_Court_to_let_him curtail_mail-in_voting_ahead_of_midterms⠀⇛ The filing also follows a Supreme Court ruling in late June that let states keep counting mail ballots that arrive after Election Day if postmarked on time. You can read the full filing below. # ⚓ Paul Krugman ☛ The_Putinization_of_the_American_Military⠀⇛ But the loss to Iran is different: it is the closest we have come to outright military defeat. U.S. forces pulled out of Saigon and Kabul, not because they had been beaten in battle, but because the domestic political cost of propping up client regimes became too great. Granted, U.S. forces haven’t suffered any conventional defeats at Iranian hands either. But all indications are that the main reason the Trump administration is again calling off major operations against Iran is that America is running critically short of ammunition. # ⚓ The Next Move ☛ Ukraine’s_Protesters_Remind_Us_Why_Their Country_Isn’t_Russia⠀⇛ All of this is taking place under martial law, which grants governments expanded emergency powers needed to confront a declared threat. In Ukraine this means men aged 23 to 60 are barred from leaving the country, mass conscription, and curfews in most cities, including Kyiv. Ukrainians have endured these extraordinary restrictions for a reason: to protect their democracy. That’s why a US Marine veteran like me volunteered to serve in the Ukrainian military in the very first days of the full-scale invasion. Now Ukrainians are hitting the streets en masse for the same reason—to safeguard their freedom—and I had the privilege of joining them. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Germany:_Islamist_terror_attack_triggers political_debate⠀⇛ The suspected perpetrator was a 21-year-old German national, born to a woman of Lebanese origin. He was known to the police as a sympathizer with the Islamist terrorist militia "Islamic State" (IS) in Syria. In the summer of 2025, he attempted to travel to Syria via Turkey and Lebanon to join IS fighters. However, he was detained in Lebanon, brought back to Germany in November 2025, and placed in pre-trial detention. He stood trial in Berlin on charges of preparing a serious act of violence. Prosecutors sought a prison sentence of two years and ten months. However, the court released the young man, handing down a suspended sentence of one year and ten months. The IS sympathizer had been free since mid- May of this year — a decision the prosecution appealed. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ Deadline ☛ Judge_Rules_Trump's_Trust_Must_Provide_Financial Documents_To_BBC⠀⇛ The judge had already indicated her ruling at a hearing last week. Per Politico, the judge also limited the scope of information that could be sought by the BBC into January 6th. “All of the impressions that were received by President Trump’s statements on January 6 are at issue. The full relitigation of January 6 is not at issue,” the judge said, per the outlet. In her written ruling, the judge rejected the trust’s claims that the subpoena for documents from nearly 400 different entities is outside the scope of discovery, citing Trump’s claims that his “brand, properties and businesses” were harmed. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Robert Reich ☛ Are_AI_Data_Centers_Really_THAT_Bad?⠀⇛ No. They're worse. # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ The_fight_against_AI_datacenters_is important_–_but_it’s_just_a_starting_point⠀⇛ Local datacenter opposition is grounded in legitimate concerns about misallocation of land resources when housing is at a premium, pressures on already higher energy prices, and localized environmental impact. Unlike other resource- consuming and polluting industrial facilities, datacenters produce very few jobs. The fact that US opposition to datacenters seems to be most fierce among lower-income communities reflects righteous indignation with an inequitable bargain, where tech companies and developers profit from exploiting local resources but offer little in return. On a global scale, their carbon footprint could grow unsustainably if usage accelerates. And all this is in aid of a technology that many fear will propagate misinformation, take their jobs, or even cause existential risks for humanity. For some, datacenter opposition may feel like the only tangible mechanism for registering their concern, disapproval, or even anger about AI. The problem is that this may be exactly what the AI companies are banking on. They can overcome the protest when it matters to them, and live with a significant fraction of proposals being defeated. More importantly, focusing political opponents on the datacenter issue obscures the bigger prize they’re after. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Politico LLC ☛ Data_center_boom_sparks_lobbying surge⠀⇛ More than 200 entities lobbied between April and June on proposals to prevent data center electric demand from spiking utility rates, a nationwide moratorium on new facilities and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s actions around how to connect the massive electricity users to the grid, a rev[1;5Hiew of new federal lobbying disclosures by POLITICO showed. It’s a sharp increase from the same quarter in 2025, when fewer than 100 companies and groups reported lobbying on data center matters. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Lee Peterson ☛ Stop_buying_things_by_using_a_simple_rule and_a_list⠀⇛ I’m not sure if it’s the neurodivergence in me or a character trait but I run mostly on impulse. This applies to almost anything but is most prevalent around money and gets me in trouble a lot of the time. One area I’ve been able to calm it down a little is with purchase decisions thanks to a simple rule and a list. If I come across something I like or want in the future instead of impulse buying I’ll stop for 24 hours and put it in a list. In Apple Reminders I have a list called “things”, in here I put anything I want. It’ll either be from a text input or web link. Once in the list it’s out of my head. When I’m out and about, if it’s under £20 I might pick it up but if not it’ll go in the list and I give it at least 24 hours, most of the time I’ve forgotten about it later or feel no need to purchase. # ⚓ Hamilton Nolan ☛ Enshittification_Relies_on_Broken_Economic Math⠀⇛ There is no easily quantifiable answer to that question. And that is the problem. The way that America’s version of capitalism proves its utility is by adding up all of the profits created by the privatization of public goods without subtracting the value that has been destroyed by the same activity. We have created the largest enshittifying machine in world history by employing a financial logic that leaves out half of the equation. Take a scenic countryside and fill it with billboards. You can calculate precisely the amount of profit that has thereby been created for advertising companies, and the associated rise in profits for the companies that attract more customers with the billboards. But what is the cost of the destruction of the scenic countryside view? Don’t ask! It would, of course, be something of a philosophical project to place an exact dollar value on the lost beauty. The bigger problem is that, in our economic system, we do not even try. Across our economy, externalities are simply ignored. Their costs fall on the public’s shoulders. This is not a novel observation— “privatize profits and socialize costs” is what makes the “too big to fail” business model so successful. What is remarkable is the extent to which our government regulations, our views of common sense business practices, and our whole conventional wisdom about the way that material progress should rationally unfold all seem to proceed calmly towards oblivion without even trying to calculate what should be on the “minus” side of the ledger. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Fawlty_Towers_star_John_Cleese_says_he_trusts_Rupert_Lowe more_than_any_other_UK_leader⠀⇛ Comedy legend John Cleese has expressed his support for Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe. The Monty Python actor has been vocal on his political views for decades but has recently leaned to the right over concerns about immigration, free speech and Islamic fundamentalism. Responding to a post on X calling for people to share the first word that comes to mind above a picture of Mr Lowe, Mr Cleese responded: "I trust this man more than any of the other leaders." Mr Lowe responded: "John Cleese is a patriot. His support for our rape-gang inquiry is appreciated." # ⚓ The Verge ☛ The_US_is_banning_foreign_robots⠀⇛ A FAQ page published by the FCC defines an “advanced robotic device” as a machine that is capable of “locomotion, obstacle avoidance, navigation, or movement on the ground;” comes with a sensor that perceives the surrounding environment; and has a chip for network connectivity. It must also weigh more than 4.4 pounds (including its docking station, if it has one). By that definition, even future robot vacuums would automatically be banned if they do not obtain a waiver. The FCC does not appear to be limiting this ban to robots with legs. In fact, the National Security Determination that the FCC is using to justify the move explicitly mentions The Verge’s reporting on the poor security of DJI’s Romo robovac. # ⚓ Stephen Hackett ☛ Pray_They_Don’t_Alter_It_Any_Further⠀⇛ I am not surprised that the company would back away from previously made promises,1 nor am I surprised that my local leaders would be naive enough not to see this coming. # ⚓ Protesilaos Stavrou ☛ Beyond_the_temple⠀⇛ Where religion meets opulence corruption arises. Such is a consequence of human’s frail character: its base desires are amplified by riches. That is because wealth gives the impression of boundlessness, which in turn conditions the person to think they can live beyond the limits. Limits are essential. They keep us in check by forcing us to be mindful of the consequences of our actions. Otherwise we do not stop. In the ecstasy of gold the soul is consumed by darkness as human commits hubris. # ⚓ Joshua Barretto ☛ Cargo_security_wishlist⠀⇛ In a discussion with another open-source contributor I started listing some changes I’d like to see in the Rust ecosystem to reduce the chance and scope of potential supply chain attacks. It occurred to me it might be useful to write these down. I’ve not put much thought into each of these. They range from ‘probably easy’ to ‘requires a fundamental rethink of Rust’s security model’, so take them with a pinch of salt. # ⚓ Daniel Pocock ☛ UK_tech_sector_missing_from_democratic process⠀⇛ The alternative is quite scary: the UK tech sector runs the risk of waking up one day and finding out the people in charge have signed away our ability to do basic things like modifying apps on our phones or installing Linux on a new computer. As the saying goes, the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. In this case, the price of freedom is local campaigning in every by-election. # ⚓ Adolfo Ochagavía ☛ That_time_when_I_failed_the_Microsoft interview⠀⇛ Maybe Microsoft did want interns to solve riddles as part of their job.

Crimea, once presented by the Kremlin as untouchable Russian territory, is increasingly becoming a battlefield dominated by Ukraine’s Armed Forces. For the first time since the full-scale invasion, Russia is beginning to experience what it has inflicted on Ukraine for years – a war that carries real costs. This is precisely the moment when Europe faces a strategic choice. Either it allows Russia to finally hit rock bottom and experience a defeat profound enough to trigger internal change, or it repeats the familiar cycle of premature negotiations, sanctions relief and another “reset” before the roots of Russian aggression have been addressed. Defeat does not require Ukrainian boots on Red Square. Instead, it requires the collapse of the regime and with it the myths that fostered the continuous rebirth of imperialistic and dehumanizing regimes. For more than three decades, the Kremlin has systematically cultivated a set of narratives portraying Russia as invincible, escalation as inevitable, compromise as the only rational strategy, and peace through accommodation as Europe’s safest option. This is not accidental. Indeed, it is the product of decades of what Russian military thinkers increasingly call “mental warfare”. The term itself is effectively a local attempt at “import substitution” when it comes to western cognitive war concepts. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ Person_Opposing_Data_Center_Arrested_for Clapping_at_City_Meeting⠀⇛ Police refused to release the arrest report, saying it could "could interfere with ongoing investigative efforts." o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ Can_the_New_York_Times_Save_Journalism_From_Our_AI Overlords?⠀⇛ Sulzberger, who took on the publisher role about a decade ago and has been an influential leader in the Times’ much-lauded push into digital innovation, has no shortage of defending to do lately. Nearly three years ago, the Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, alleging that the companies illegally used New York Times journalism to train AI models. That legal case, in which motions are still being filed about discovery requests, is only one front in a broader battle: The Trump administration is waging an ongoing war on press freedoms—most recently with an outrageous attempt to subpoena Times journalists over coverage of the president’s Qatar-gifted jet to be used as Air Force One—while AI companies radically reshape the way people find and consume information online. # ⚓ Digital Camera World ☛ From_the_Great_Depression_to Japanese-American_internment,_Dorothea_Lange's_camera_bore witness_to_some_of_the_darkest_moments_in_US_history⠀⇛ Commissioned by the Farm Security Administration, she documented the lives of migrant workers, Dust Bowl refugees and rural poor with an unflinching but deeply empathetic eye. In his curator statement for her 1966 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, John Szarkowski described her as "by choice a social observer and by instinct an artist"; neatly capturing the tension that makes her work so compelling. o § Civil Rights / Policing / Accessibility⠀➾ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Man_Allegedly_Put_Up Explicit_AI_Posters_of_Real_Women_Claiming_They_Were Available_for_Sex_Work⠀⇛ Investigators say the posters were not limited to fake images. Police allege they also carried the women's real names, social media usernames and employment details, making it easier for strangers to identify and contact them. Authorities believe eight women aged between 40 and 60 were targeted in a campaign detectives say lasted more than five years. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ The_union_drive_at_the_Wikimedia_Foundation_is expanding⠀⇛ “While the Wikimedia Foundation touts to the public that they plan to take a neutral stance in our organizing efforts, they have already proven that not to be the case behind the scenes,” a press release sent by Communications Workers of America, with which Wiki Workers United is affiliated, reads in part. “When the Foundation rejected our request for voluntary recognition this week, they immediately sent out to employees and the public statements couched in classic union-busting rhetoric, rhetoric undoubtedly provided by outrageously expensive union-avoidance law firms. This insulting and wasteful use of Foundation resources is both an insult to Foundation employees and to the Free Knowledge Movement as a whole.” # ⚓ Nick Heer ☛ Data_Privacy_in_the_U.S._Border_Zone⠀⇛ The classic advice of turning off your devices when passing through a border or, on an iPhone, entering the “Power Off” mode to suspend biometric features seems insufficient. Border agents claimed that “refusing to talk [gives them] the authority to go through your phone” and demand a passcode without needing a warrant. # ⚓ Kelly Hayes ☛ The_Fight_Against_ICE_Has_Entered_a_New Phase⠀⇛ The violence and scale of the Trump administration’s attacks on immigrants and the communities they live in can be disorienting. In recent months, the terrain has shifted from roving spectacles of violence in blue cities to arrests increasingly embedded in the everyday harms of policing. Meanwhile, activists and community members have forced the administration to retreat from one of its most horrifying aspirations to date, a network of Amazon-style detention warehouses, some of which could have held as many as 10,000 people and accelerated deportations on an industrial scale. How can we keep our bearings in these times—celebrating our wins and our solidarity while also keeping up with the shifting tactics of the deportation machine? I recently spoke with Silky Shah, executive director of Detention Watch Network and author of Unbuild Walls. Silky’s insights are invaluable for understanding how the machinery of enforcement is changing, where communities still have leverage and what it will take to sustain resistance over time. This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity. # ⚓ Ken Klippenstein ☛ FEMA’s_New_Mission:_Domestic_Terrorism⠀⇛ Now FEMA is shelling out grant money to state and local authorities to build up capacity to carry out pre-crime operations against “organized political violence,” as one FEMA information bulletin I obtained says. The bulletin, dated July 9, instructs local authorities to prioritize “domestic terrorism” in their grant applications. Titled “Implementation of National Security Presidential Memorandum-7…,” the document echoes President Trump’s emphasis on rooting out suspected domestic terrorists before an attack takes place. # ⚓ Fernando Borretti ☛ When_The_Future_Doesn’t_Need_Us⠀⇛ AI changes this. If AI works the factories, drives the trucks, does most of the white collar work, fights the wars, then humans become materially powerless. We lose one type of leverage against power. We become disempowered. When people talk about AI taking jobs, the main problems they worry about are poverty and meaning, but I think more people should be worried about disempowerment. But what if there is no mass unemployment? After all, we’ve spent two hundred years automating one job after another, and every advanced economy is de facto at full employment. We keep discovering new, higher-level, better-paying jobs to do. So maybe the AIs take today’s jobs, and humans move one level up, to work newer jobs. Alex Imas, in What will be scarce?, describes what this looks like: [...] # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ He_was_shot_at_by_ICE,_then_wrongfully accused._His_nightmare_had_only_just_begun⠀⇛ After masked agents fired on his truck, Francisco Longoria was ambushed, charged and jailed – only for the case against him to fall apart.

You do not even have to mash in the thousands of codes yourself, but can use a keyboard emulator on something like a Teensy development board.

If you work in a creative industry and have the option of not using something from Adobe, know that you are very lucky. There is still nothing like Photoshop, in ways good and bad. I have said it before and I will say it again: if I had known the path Adobe’s software would eventually go down, I might very well have picked a different career. # ⚓ Daniel Pocock ☛ UK,_EU_&_Australia:_sovereignty_requires independent_rival_app_stores⠀⇛ One of those policy themes is the availability of rival app stores for smartphones. The US president Donald Trump and other leaders in his administration have frequently told their allies to get serious about defence. Allowing a bunch of immature men in California to control or restrict what citizens in other countries put in our phones is a huge loss of sovereignty. # § Trademarks⠀➾ # § Right of Publicity⠀➾ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Hugging_Face Exposed_as_Hub_for_AI_Deepfake_Nudes_in_Scathing Forensics_Report⠀⇛ The European non-profit organisation tested nine image-editing Spaces on Hugging Face and found seven produced altered nude images after receiving a basic request to remove clothing. The investigation examined how the platform's developer-led approach to hosting AI models handles tools that can be used for non-consensual intimate imagery, a form of AI-generated sexual abuse. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Hugging_Face_Has_a_Deepfake_Nudes Problem⠀⇛ The open-source AI platform Hugging Face—a repository of AI models and datasets, which has been valued in the billions—has a widespread problem with nonconsensual deepfakes, according to a new report published Tuesday by the European nonprofit AI Forensics. Researchers from the group say they tested nine of the top image editing Spaces on Hugging Face, which host models people can directly use on the site, and seven of these easily changed a clothed image of a woman into a topless one. # ⚓ AI Forensics ☛ Unmoderated_by_Design:_How Hugging_Face_Enables_NCII_|_AI_Forensics⠀⇛ Our investigation found that Hugging Face, the top platform for sharing open-source AI models, isn't just hosting tools that generate non- consensual intimate imagery.
