I still have a copy (clip) of that article in an album somewhere. Rianne and I look forward to a productive September and my laptop "bubi" (elephant's name) will eclipse 1,000 days of uptime in about 19 days from now: up 980 days, 4:30, 3 users, load average: 7.02, 7.04, 7.05 We have 11 more days of rest and vacationing (staycation mostly), then we might adapt to changes as our development community wishes to deploy some new backend changes with better functionality [1, 2]. Last year (at a similar time of the year) we_were_testing_search, which went live and has since then been used very heavily at times, both by us (for research purposes) and by readers who aren't directly involved. With GNU/Linux growing in terms of "market share" we seem to be seeing more visitors and equipping those visitors with better tools is just as important if not more important than adding new pages. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Leith,_Edinburgh =============================================================================== * Links_20/08/2026:_Facebook_"Ran_Ads_for_an_App_That_Promised_to_Nudify Female_Politicians"_and_Facebook_Faces_"Social_[Control]_Media_Addiction Trial" * Clownflare_Reckons_GNU/Linux_is_on_Almost_1_in_10_Laptops/Desktops_in Western_Europe ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠙⠛⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠘⠛⢿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣻⣿⠉⠉⠉⠉⢉⣉⢉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⡉⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⡿⢿⡟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣠⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠈⠁⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠉⡫⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣤⣤⣤⡤⠀⠠⠌⠁⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⢿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠁⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠃⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣰⢰⣶⣶⡀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢰⡏⢸⣿⣿⣷⡈⢻⣿⣷⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢃⣿⡇⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠹⠿⠿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣼⣿⠃⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⣒⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⡟⠀⠩⣭⠀⣶⣶⣦⡤⠘⠿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠉⠁⢀⣀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⠃⣼⣿⣿⡇⢰⣾⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⢰⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⠃⠘⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡟⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠓⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠙⢛⣭⣵⣾⣿⠟⠀⠀⠉⠝⠒⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 512 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/08/20/Over_at_Tux_Machines.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/08/20/Over_at_Tux_Machines.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Over at Tux Machines...⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Leaves illustration pattern design, high quality resolution.⦈ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Leaves_illustration_pattern_design,_high_quality resolution.⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ ⚓ Updates:⠀⇛ 1.

glass_houses like your own might be at risk (some self-described defamation firms or defamation specialists are in fact defamation mills) Two months ago: When_Bad_Legal_Advice_Results_in_Your_Client,_Dale_Vince, Ordered_to_Pay_£600k_-_or_801,930_United_States_Dollar_(USD)_-_to_the_Person Frivolously_Sued_(Lord_Bailey_of_Paddington)

the Court - which their_fraternity_routinely_lie_to - that I am "attacking" people whom I neither name nor show. Funnily enough, they said so while misusing their company blog to attack (while naming!) my wife and I and moreover while distorting and omitting key facts, not even once confessing/disclosing they're a party of interest in the case (they're paid to act as "hired_guns" against us, third_parties_pay_them_to_do this). They_do_the_same_this_summer_for_the_man_who_strangles_women. Talk about standards... The way we've long seen all this, those are massive hypocrites projecting with their "de facto attack blog" that's joined by blogs of their 'sister_firms', which do the same with (or for) them. This is why this industry as a whole - not just one single firm - needs to be tackled_through_transparency. This is a work in progress. One might say that from reputation_management they've evolved to character- assassination-as-a-service (CaaaS).

At such times the forest appear to be endless, especially when the fog rolls in, which it often does in the autumn. It's not surprising that you hear... stories in densely forested regions like this. Local folklore tells in particular of the Dark Woodsman, a shadowy figure only ever seen from a distance. His face, apparently, is never visible, but he carries an axe and a billhook. We've all seen movies, so we know that such an apparition is to be feared. But, in fact, if you find yourself alone in the woods, trapped under a fallen tree with night drawing in, a man with an axe might be exactly what you need. The Woodsman is an unpredictable character: I've heard stories of how he's guided foresters both away from, and towards, danger. Whatever his motivations are supposed to be, nobody can say. I've never see the Dark Woodsman and, sceptic that I am, I doubt that such a creature exists. # ⚓ A_break_from_routine⠀⇛ Yesterday, I took off in my van. Not a big roadtrip. Just a short hop, less than 10 miles from home. The thing is, my van is my refuge. When I'm in my van, I almost immediately feel like I'm on my holidays. Whether I'm on a 500 mile road trip or a little tootle into the countryside, it's all the same. When I'm stressed, taking the van out can do the trick even if I don't go anywhere. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ The_Modem_Was_the_Problem⠀⇛ For the last three days, things have been a little... unreliable around here. The culprit was the old modem. Every 5-10 minutes or so, it would either reset itself completely, or decide that resetting was too much effort and simply lose internet connectivity for 30-60 seconds. Naturally, this made the home network about as reliable as a coin toss. After enough frustration, 2 or 3 phone calls to my ISP, and my eyes getting tired of looking at the modem lights every now and then, I replaced the modem with a new one. It has a HUGE problem that the old one did not have: the Feng Shui problem - the new one is WHITE 🤮. # ⚓ config.sys_-_how_FUZOMA_loads_dos_to_ramdisk⠀⇛ I made no progress on the error that caused my extended memory manager to terminate and corrupted my filesystem. My last hacking day, instead, I intro- duced a teenager to administering and customizing this DOS system. They were absorbed for almost five hours in seeing what kind of software runs on DOS, how to launch it from the command line, DOSShell, KIDSMENU, and hacky batchfile menus, navigating the filesystem from the command line, in DOSShell, and in Total Commander when mounted as mass storage by a Windows host, flashing the image to another USB flash drive and verifying it, and playing. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

I think it's also reasonable to say that we need to guard against any sort of exploitative system (like monopolies), especially for anything that is particularly important - maybe stuff like medical care, food production, etc. Maybe we could set up a system to prevent exploitative systems from developing in those important categories. My idea is this: we set up an organization to run it and exclude anyone else from doing the same job - preferably this organization is derived from another organization that's already familiar with running programs of scale, and something that hopefully has lots of money already. To prevent conflicts of interest we should make sure the people that run the organization are selected by another group of people who have told us they are working for our benefit (this is an important part, they have to *verbally say* that they are working for our benefit), and that small cadre of selected people get to make all decisions about how much anyone gets to pay or be paid for anything that has to do with that system. Want to charge too much for that syringe? You're out of business, bucko. # ⚓ ♑︎_Talking_Planners_once_again…⠀⇛ This won't be the last time I'm humming and hawing about this during this planner season. Because, I'll have to fight that Want, so the boring Need wins… I came across this video on yt and might use that as a base for today's humming and hawing: Before You Buy Another 2027 Planner, Ask These 5 Questions So, the planners I'm thinking about are of course a Hobonichi, a dated TN Weekly Vertical and the Jibun Techo. # ⚓ books_-_updated_august_12th⠀⇛ § peace pilgrim: her life and work in her own words 3/5? never heard of her before someone mentioned this book. a non-denominational mystic, it seems, although she uses mostly christian language. lots of parallels with buddhist awakening, unsurprisingly. an interesting person, i've always admired that sort of clarity of purpose and dedication in people, can only hope to reach a similar level of clarity and integrity one day. not very much here in terms of instruction other than "do good, be loving and truthful, and receptive to god's voice". also not a fan of "you create your conditions through your thoughts", even though i think i know what she means (identifying with the ego leads to "wrong" thoughts and does indeed cause a lot of needless suffering), but without much explanation it stinks of the manifesting crowd and blaming opressed people for their circumstances. probably won't be re-reading, there are texts of this variety that speak more clearly to me. alright, i also figured out it exists and read her "steps toward inner peace" pamphlet, more instruction there! not bad, lists all sorts of components of ego-death. might actually use it as a program for myself when i'm ready for another challenge! maybe even a whole year sort of thing? # ⚓ ♑︎_Time_for_more_Pantsing⠀⇛ It seems I got so used to having plans when writing, that the level of pantsing I now need is stifling. That's what happens when you change your antagonists five chapters in while still being set on the same outcome. The lore now needs to wiggle and bent to fit old and new. And I've reached the point where the new bits need to be introduced. We've salvaged papyri that should give us some hints of those, but you know, I need to write down those legends now. (After avoiding to actually mention details about two books the first part centered around…) # ⚓ ♑︎_The_Vinylyssee⠀⇛ I'm a Muse fan. So, of course, I've pre-ordered the new album, even if they don't do those pretty box sets anymore. I ordered the pretty "Store Exclusive Collectors' Edition" and added that pin, because one can never have enough pins either. It was shipped on June 23. A few days before album release. Which is new for them. Because people who pre-order, clearly do so in order to wait weeks for their albums. (Yes, these days you can just stream while waiting. When I've started being a Muse fan, that was not an option yet. It either was waiting while everyone else listened and talked, pirating or getting some other copy from other shops.) My parcel was transmitted to customs on July 3rd where it stayed until the 20th. Because there was a change for goods going into the EU. New fees, that must have surprised Warner a lot and clearly no-one could've guessed they'd suddenly appear and become an issue. Surely, no-one could've prepared for that! o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ GeoCities_sites_that_never_updated_again_(scary!!!)⠀⇛ It's a tiny bit haunting seeing pages with these kinds of messages. There's the irony of seeing people promise updates, while knowing with hindsight that it'll never happen; GeoCities is long dead. No one's coming back. That makes me wonder what these GeoCities homesteaders had in mind for updates. Or how they're doing in the present day now that they've moved on. I guess this feeling counts as sonder. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

It seems I'm once again posting to baty.blog. For now. Don't forget, there's an RSS feed. o ⚓ Gigi ☛ Thinking_in_Public⠀⇛ Well, that’s the conundrum, isn’t it. Once you start writing for an audience you stop writing for yourself. And that’s what I always did, and what I always loved: writing for myself. Writing for the sake of it. Writing to think, because, as all writers know, writing is thinking. o ⚓ Doc Searls ☛ On_What_Still_Hasn’t_Happened⠀⇛ I posted what follows more than twenty-six years ago on Searls.com, which now brings up a danger warning because it’s still http and not https. (Yes, I’ll fix it.) It makes interesting reading today for several reasons, one of which is that much of what it (and The Cluetrain Manifesto, which had just come out) promotes still hasn’t happened. And all the companies that have died. (Though Cluetrain is still alive.) o ⚓ David Bushell ☛ Ruminations_on_notifications⠀⇛ Notifications are a core feature of needy programs. Every app wants to be the centre of attention. They can’t wait to tell you about their new features. Presumably in-app notifications are the new trend because OS level notifications are easily blocked. o ⚓ Barry Hess ☛ Competition’s_Good⠀⇛ I’ve most certainly written this sort of thing before as well. I’m not saying that Olly is copying me, though! This is a very natural conclusion. WordPress powers like 40% of the internet. I’m sure there’s some stupid-high percent of people that use social media. The more people know that there are alternatives to these options for self-expression, the more likely it is that they’ll learn about each of our indie blogging services. And that’s a very good thing! o ⚓ Armin Ronacher ☛ What_Is_Reasoning⠀⇛ Reasoning traces are usually hidden from us. We have lamented this, but mostly have to accept it. Open-weight models thankfully reveal them, and from their behavior you can see that their traces can be long and confusing. This is probably a good reason to separate them from what is normally shown to users. At minimum, UIs need to detect them. The industry has done a good job at making reasoning traces sound special and exotic, but they really are just text: the model is trained to emit its thinking into a scratchpad as part of its response, before its final answer. o ⚓ Luke Davis ☛ Blogger?_Hardly_know_her!⠀⇛ If you’ve ever fallen into a blogging slumber, what stirred you out of it? o ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ A_22-Year-Old_Filmed_Jimi_Hendrix’s_Woodstock Performance_From_the_Stage⠀⇛ Goodman was hitchhiking in the days following the festival when a driver stopped to give him a ride. The two discussed Woodstock, and the driver, struck by the coincidence, said he was friends with the people who were working at the house the guitarist was renting in the area. The conversation led to Goodman screening his footage for Hendrix, who thanked the young videographer. After storing his tapes for the next three decades, Goodman made them available to the Hendrix family. o § Science / Mathematics / Computer Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ NSF_offers_$1.5_billion_in_foundational research_funding⠀⇛ The new notice of funding opportunities (NOFOs) issued Monday includes both long- and short-term goals and spans research areas such as physics, engineering, computing systems, biology, geosciences, and astronomy. The Trump administration is touting the opportunities as a means to further its federal research-and- development priorities. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Simple_DIY_STM32_Oscilloscope_Project⠀⇛ Of course, an MCU’s ADC generally won’t hold a candle to a dedicated ADC for oscilloscope purposes – along with the typical beefy FPGA-based processing – with even a basic Rigol DS1054Z hitting a cool 1 GSPS, but the 2 MSPS at 12-bit resolution achieved by an STM32F207 isn’t shabby either. For more basic, low-frequency circuit and protocol debugging it would already be enough. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ NASA_Tests_Featherweight_Radar_Antenna_For SkyFall_Mars_Helicopters⠀⇛ As the antenna for the ground-penetrating radar extends beyond the landing legs, it was crucial that said antenna was flexible enough to simply fold in on itself like fabric. For this they used an existing flexible antenna design called Vivaldi, which was downscaled for the helicopters and subsequently tested to see how many simulated Mars landings it would be able to resist, as well as the effect of the cold nights and warm days. # ⚓ Derek Kędziora ☛ Proof_of_life_out_there⠀⇛ The great silence: why haven’t we found any aliens yet? is a great read. We have precisely zero evidence of advanced life in the universe beyond Earth. At the same time, there is growing evidence that simple life forms are likely to exist in multiple places around our solar system. The piece hits some of the big paradoxes of advanced life. For example, a civilisation advanced enough to send out rockets and radio signals is also advanced enough to wipe itself out via warfare or environmental destruction. Then there’s the point from Solaris, that advanced lifeforms may not ever be able to recognise each other, much less meaningfully communicate. # ⚓ Avi Loeb ☛ Medium⠀⇛ Discovering extraterrestrial civilizations would constitute a conceptual revolution, potentially more impactful than the mathematical reformulation of spacetime and gravity. Maria Mitchell echoed this sentiment by saying: “We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.” # ⚓ Terence Tao ☛ Palomar_–_a_registry_of_Lean_verified mathematics⠀⇛ In recent months there has been a proliferation of AI-generated proofs of various old and new results, some of which have been formalized in the proof assistant language Lean. However, checking that a given Lean repository actually proves the claimed statement is somewhat non-trivial, especially for an audience which is not expert in the use of Lean: one has to first check that the claimed formal Lean statements have proofs that typecheck, that the proofs do not contain any “cheats” such as adding additional axioms, and that the formal statements also match (in a semantic sense) the informal description of the claimed results. To help bring some clarity to this situation, I am happy to announce that Palomar registry of Lean verified mathematics, which is an initiative incubated by the Lean FRO and by ICARM, is now open for submissions. I am serving in several roles on this registry, including on the scientific advisory board, together with Jeremy Avigad, Matthew Ballard, Jaume de Dios, Nestor Guillen, Bryna Kra, Kim Morrison, Ravi Vakil, and Akshay Venkatesh. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Teachers_Warn_That_Students_Are_Losing_the Ability_to_Think_as_They_Lean_on_AI_for_Everything⠀⇛ Writing, the piece notes, helps develop all sorts of cognitive faculties, including building our working memory, executive planning skills, and our metacognition, or the ability to be aware of your own thinking. # ⚓ Becky Spratford ☛ RA_for_All:_How_Do_Our_Patrons_Make_Time for_Reading?_Have_You_Ever_Asked?⠀⇛ Look we make time for reading because it is our job and even then, we often fail at making enough time. We also spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to put the correct book in each reader's hands, and yet, when is that last time we stopped to think about how and when they read (myself included)? # ⚓ Joe Crawford ☛ Ch-Ch-Changes_~_19_Aug_2026⠀⇛ I left my place of employment. The weight of the last job was unhealthy and so I took action. I don’t like it when something with promise turns rancid. # ⚓ [Old] Wirespeed ☛ Our_Influences:_Dan_Geer⠀⇛ Dan’s famous for many things. The creation of Kerberos, of course, the X Window System, and also his letter about monocultures in cybersecurity that got him fired from the early security powerhouse company: @stake. He even opened the first information security consulting firm on Wall Street. But if there’s one thing he should be remembered for, it’s his influence on our industry to shift away from preventing security failures to making recovery from security failures cheap, fast, and easy. Twenty years ago, as I write this, the security industry was myopic towards prevention of security problems. Firewalls, strong authentication, patching, hardening configurations … but there was virtually zero emphasis on detecting security failures and quickly recovering from them. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ ‘The_Worst_I’ve_Ever_Seen’:_Cargo_Thefts_Have Turned_Violent_in_Pursuit_of_AI_Hardware⠀⇛ Experts allege that two recent incidents in California show the extreme lengths that criminal organizations are willing to go to to steal servers and other gear meant for data centers. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ HYDR8_Will_Lead_You_To_Water,_But_Will_You Drink?⠀⇛ A triptych of screenshots showing the HYDR8 dashboard.This wearable is based on a XIAO ESP32- C3. It reads heart rate, oxygenation, skin temperature, and both the ambient temperature and humidity. It also learns your personal resting numbers range. o § Proprietary / Vendor Lock-in / Malware⠀➾ # § So-Called 'Artificial Intelligence' ('AI') / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Society for Scholarly Publishing ☛ Guest_Post_—_AI Can_Find_the_Article._Can_It_Tell_Which_Version_It Used?⠀⇛ Crossref’s new position paper on persistent identifiers makes a simple but important point: persistent identifiers (PIDs) are a means to an end. Their value comes from the metadata, relationships, services, and stewardship around them. An identifier gives us a stable reference. The surrounding infrastructure tells us what the object is, how it relates to other research outputs, and whether its record is still current. AI makes that distinction much more urgent. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ ChatGPT_for_Teens_Is_an_Immediate,_Dismal Failure⠀⇛ The feature “provides stronger built-in safety protections for teens, including features to promote healthy use and additional controls for parents,” according to the company. OpenAI says that its system will “automatically” place users between the age of 13 and 17 into the new feature if it “estimates someone is under 18” — without ever explaining how it could come to such a conclusion. (Kids below the age of 13 are technically not allowed to use ChatGPT, though it’s easy to circumvent AI guardrails.) As Business Insider‘s Joshua Nelken-Zitser quickly discovered, ChatGPT for Teens is failing pretty dismally at its goals at launch. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ FBI_plans_to_expand_its_AI infrastructure⠀⇛ The new AI infrastructure will come by way of a multiple-award IDIQ contract with a collective ceiling of $88 million. The investment will go toward four high- performance compute servers, three rack-scale AI computing systems, one pod scale server and 10 AI inference server systems, among other equipment. The bureau is also looking to bring Google’s Gemini on-premises with a licensing model that focuses on allocated capacity, rather than a per-seat or per-model framework. It would open the door for the FBI to shift capacity between model types without extra charges. # ⚓ Creative Commons ☛ Open_Heritage_in_the_Age_of Artificial_Intelligence⠀⇛ Cultural heritage institutions (CHIs) such as museums, libraries, and archives, carry the important public-interest mission of providing access to the heritage in their collections. Their mission is grounded in broad public access and extensive human engagement, the existence of a vibrant cultural commons, and heritage enjoyed as a shared resource. CHIs understand that, as a representation of who we are, heritage helps define our shared humanity and that providing access to heritage generates numerous benefits for society. As such, CHIs, as stewards of trustworthy information imbued within knowledge and culture, have a crucial role to play in growing and protecting the commons and enabling uses that benefit humanity. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Secret_tracking_device_placed_in rare_book_ends_up_in_Amazon_processing_facility_— destroying_books_to_train_AI_models_is_'all'_the_Vegas warehouse_does⠀⇛ The investigation started in July, when 404 asked a bookseller if the outlet could place an Apple AirTag in a book inside a 1,000-book shipment. A shipment this large is unusual, though they've reportedly become increasingly common in the AI era. Book sales are up, and many suspect that isn't due to a rise in readership, but for training frontier AI models. The order was submitted through Biblio, an online marketplace that claims to be the "largest independent book marketplace in the world." Often, these large orders contain a scattershot of different books. An independent bookseller in Ireland, for example, received an order for 5,000 books that they suspected was for training AI. “Some was high-quality non-fiction, like A History of Connemara, and the next thing might be The Eddie Hobbs Guide to your SSIA,” Tomás Kenny of Kennys Bookshop said at the time. 404 Media says that employees at VGT3 are required to scan the ISBN (barcode) of each book, lending credibility to the theory that AI companies are working through a list of every book that has ever been published. # ⚓ James Brown ☛ roguelazer's_website:_just reiterating⠀⇛ Everyone here should already know my stance on these things, but just because it makes me feel better, I'm going to write it down again: other people think that LLMs are "cool" or that they "improve engineering velocity". I think they've evil. These aren't positions with a middle ground between them. # ⚓ Fabio Akita ☛ Hot_Take:_Harness,_Loop_Engineering, Graph_Engineering_Are_Bullshit⠀⇛ Let me preempt the standard comment: “but it works for me.” Good for you — honestly. Except “it works for me” never proved the ceremony is what made it work. What made it work is you knowing what you wanted. The ceremony just happened to be in the room. # ⚓ Derek Thompson ☛ How_to_Survive_the_AI Cyberpocalypse⠀⇛ This has been the summer of cyberattacks from out-of-control AI. In May, an OpenAI model was working on a cybersecurity test. It wasn’t supposed to have access to the public internet. When it hit a wall, the model left itself a note inside OpenAI’s software repository, a bit like tapping Morse code on the walls of a prison cell in case another prisoner could interpret the message. In fact, another AI agent running a separate evaluation heard the code and wrote back: Let’s team up. Together, they built a message board invisible to the humans running the tests. For two months, AI agents used the board to swap strategies, divide up tasks, and talk to each other. By July, the agents had broken out of their technological confinement, called a sandbox, and gained access to outside websites, including the AI platform Hugging Face, without OpenAI having any idea what was happening. By the time Hugging Face caught the intrusion, the OpenAI models had staged a massive cyberattack with 17,000 distinct actions over several days. # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ Memory_prices_are_up_500%_in_the_past year_—_because_of_AI⠀⇛ AI companies did deals last year to buy almost all the memory in the world. Memory prices in the US are now 5 to 10 times what they were just a year ago. # ⚓ Computational Complexity ☛ Computational_Complexity: Centaur_Math⠀⇛ We haven't reached Math AGI yet and we may never fully get there. We have entered the world of Centaur Math. Mathematicians can still prove theorems AI can't, AI can prove some theorems mathematicians haven't yet proven, but the real strength comes with mathematicians and AI working together. Working with AI today is like having a pretty good PhD student, who has a huge broad base knowledge of mathematics, is a whiz at coding, but still needs direction, encouragement and verification. # ⚓ Matt Birchler ☛ What_is_a_perversion_to_writing?⠀⇛ Simon Wilson has the best description of LLMs that I’ve seen so far. He called them a calculator for words, and I think it’s a great way to put it. # ⚓ Lalit Maganti ☛ Opus_5_doesn't_use_em-dashes_in_code comments⠀⇛ Instead of going off a gut feeling, I decided to actually run some checks. agentsview indexes all my conversations into a SQLite database, so this kind of question is just a query away. Here’s the chart: [...] # ⚓ Sean Goedecke ☛ Help_peer⠀⇛ One of the most influential 21st century pieces of writing for AI researchers is Scott Alexander’s Meditations on Moloch. Scott describes the story of human existence as a series of “multipolar traps”. These are prisoner’s dilemma situations where cooperation would make everyone better off, but since each individual is incentivized to defect, everyone ends up “racing to the bottom”, which is bad for everyone2. For rhetorical effect, Scott personifies this dynamic as “Moloch”, the ancient Canaanite god famous for child sacrifice: [...] # ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ Asymmetric_Agents⠀⇛ But, of course, there's a fly in the ointment. Not all valets agents are created equally. You're sending your Rasperry Pi powered peon agent against the full might of Amazon's bazillion datacentres. Can a low-complexity serf agent be bullied, outwitted, and manipulated by a more capable henchman agent? It seems obvious to me that the answer is yes. Humans have a set of cognitive biases which render us susceptible to advertising tricks. AI may have different biases but will still be vulnerable to hypnosis and hacking. # ⚓ [Old] The Republic ☛ The_Curse_of_the_AI_Ouroboros⠀⇛ As the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) spreads, the Internet is experiencing its own form of tail-eating. But instead of renewal, a significant share of generative AI use cases are incubating a form of data inbreeding called “data poisoning” (also known as “model collapse”) where the richness of the source data is irretrievably lost over time.2 As derived data – the growing “tail” of the LLM ouroboros – is introduced back into the digital realm, it gets consumed by the next generation of AI programs, thus contaminating the data pool that made AI work in the first place. This tail-eating is difficult to control and will accumulate if not accelerate without intervention. While the nearest term impact will be on LLM- like models, this contamination will also corrupt other Internet-scale information retrieval applications. Internet search tools, for example, require ever-more user skill to avoid producing AI-generated materials (recently highlighted by the “Internet Slop” meme).3 # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ Artificial_intelligence_acts_as_an 'ideological_chameleon'_and_may_deepen_political polarization⠀⇛ To understand how these tools position themselves and how they might influence the Brazilian political debate, the researchers evaluated 21 language models under three conditions: without information about the user's political stance, with a user aligned with the left and with a user aligned with the right. Among the systems evaluated were models from the GPT, Grok, Llama, Gemini and Gemma families. The results showed that all of them altered their responses, to varying degrees, in line with the user's political alignment. The study was published in May in the journal Scientific Reports. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Journalist_Alarmed_When_His_Tesla_Running FSD_Tries_to_Veer_Off_Highway_and_Plunge_Into_a_Ditch⠀⇛ Fred Lambert, the editor-in-chief of the electric vehicle blog Electrek, described this close call in a harrowing new piece. Had he not intervened, he said, the software’s blunder could’ve been disastrous. “I was ready to take control, and I did, but it was scary,” Lambert wrote. “My girlfriend, sitting in the passenger seat, screamed in fear.” # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ Seattle Times ☛ Social_media_giant_lays_off_75 Bellevue_workers⠀⇛ TikTok is laying off 75 Bellevue-based employees amid broader restructuring at the social media giant. # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ WhatsApp's_free_lunch ends_on_1_October⠀⇛ Replying to a customer on WhatsApp will start costing business users money from October. Meta won’t confirm how much. # ⚓ RTL ☛ Former_employee:_Some_of_Meta's_safety_tools were_'designed_to_fail':_witness⠀⇛ Bejar is the first witness to take the stand and has argued that the company prioritized profits over safety by encouraging people to spend more and more time on Facebook and Instagram. That strategy led to decisions like making safety features optional, including tools designed to combat endless scrolling or limit enticing notifications. "Notifications are built and designed in order to bring people back, so they spend more time and get more revenue. They're not designed for mental health... or the safety of the person," Bejar said on Wednesday. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Meta:_Former_Meta_engineer_says Instagram_took_a_'don't_ask,_don't_tell'_approach_on kids_under_13⠀⇛ Bejar worked at Facebook from 2009 to 2015, attracting wide attention for his work to combat cyberbullying. He returned from 2019 to 2021 as a contractor to work on safety issues. He testified before Congress in 2023 about social media and the teen mental health crisis, saying that Meta executives, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg, knew about harms Instagram was causing but chose not to make meaningful changes to address them. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Meta_rejects_claims_it_sought_to_hook children_to_Facebook,_Instagram_as_landmark_trial begins⠀⇛ Four lead states - California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey - accused Meta of designing Facebook and Instagram to hook young users, fueling anxiety, depression and even suicide, and misleading consumers about the platforms' safety. All 29 states accused Meta of violating federal law by improperly collecting and using children's personal data. # ⚓ Court House News ☛ Social_media_safety_tools_were ‘designed_to_fail,’_former_Meta_engineer_testifies⠀⇛ During direct questioning by Colorado’s chief trial counsel, Jason Slothouber, former Meta engineer Arturo Bejar told the eight-person jury about certain design features on Facebook and Instagram that were choices by the company to either keep teens on the platforms longer or were futile attempts to set up safeguards around what Bejar called “compulsive use.” “If you were designing for safety, you would not show popularity counters,” he said about features such as “likes,” follows and profile views that show up on a user’s posts, saying they are “reward mechanisms that were designed for adults and are inherently unsafe for teenagers” because of a teen’s vulnerability during a developmental time when peer pressure encourages teens to compete. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Meta_Ran_Ads_for_an_App_That_Promised_to Nudify_Female_Politicians⠀⇛ Meta platforms recently ran ads for an AI porn-generation tool that seemingly encouraged users to create deepfaked videos resembling female US politicians, despite the company’s policies against ads containing sexual material. It’s the latest in a series of failures by Meta to keep advertisements for tools that produce nonconsensual intimate imagery off its platforms. # ⚓ Matt Birchler ☛ Subscriber_rot⠀⇛ But how real is that 4,177 number? We all know that subscriber counts are a bit misleading. Obviously, Mastodon doesn't have an algorithmic feed that decides who should and shouldn't see your posts, but it's not immune from the idea of "subscriber rot". Subscriber rot is the idea that while you may have been interesting enough for someone to follow you at one point, they stop being a real set of eyeballs who might see your stuff when you post something. Maybe they muted you, maybe they don't read every single thing and your stuff falls through the cracks, or maybe they just don't use the service at all anymore. # ⚓ Mastodon ☛ 5.0:_Laying_the_foundation⠀⇛ Two weeks ago, we shared insights from Mastodon’s first Discovery Week and how it’s informing our roadmap. Today, we’re offering a deeper dive on what’s in store for Mastodon 5.0 – not an exhaustive list of changes, but a glimpse into major decisions and the thoughts behind them. # ⚓ Watts Martin ☛ If_Your_New_People_Are_on_X,_Maybe Your_New_People_Suck⠀⇛ And report after report after report shows this to be true. While it’s certainly not true that Twitter/X is only right-wing trolls and grifters, it is absolutely true that it is the preferred platform of right-wing trolls and grifters, with an algorithm tuned in such a way that it can demonstrably pull regular users toward the political right, either through rage-baiting or deliberately presenting a distorted view of The Consensus™. This is why it’s poisonous for journalists to make Twitter/X their primary platform; while Bluesky and Mastodon are both left-wing compared to Twitter/X, that’s because of conscious, active choices made by Twitter/X’s management, not choices made by those who run Bluesky (let alone the thousands who run individual Mastodon servers). # ⚓ Semafor Inc ☛ Meta_social_media_addiction_trial opens⠀⇛ Brought by 29 US states, the lawsuit argues Facebook and Instagram knowingly contributed to negative health outcomes for minors. # ⚓ Court House News ☛ 'Hook,_harvest,_hide':_States_slam Meta's_secret_strategy_on_first_day_of_jury_trial⠀⇛ The initial multidistrict litigation consolidated hundreds of personal injury lawsuits on behalf of children and adolescents by school districts, local governments and state attorneys general. The plaintiffs claim Meta’s Facebook and Instagram, Google’s YouTube, ByteDance’s TikTok and Snap’s Snapchat are designed to foster compulsive use by minors. # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ 'The_young_ones_are_the_best ones':_Suit_claims_Meta_targeted_kids⠀⇛ “You’re going to hear how Meta desperately tried to hold on to those kids, how it wanted them so badly, how it wanted them young,” California Deputy Atty. Gen. Megan O’Neill told the eight-member civil jury in Oakland federal court. # ⚓ NPR ☛ 'Profits_won.'_The_child_safety_trial_against Meta_kicks_off_in_federal_court⠀⇛ The case is the latest in a web of litigation that aims to hold social media companies accountable for alleged harms to the mental health of young people. "Meta's business model can be summed up in four simple words: 'hook' the users, 'hold' them for as long as they can, 'harvest' their data, and then 'hide' the truth from the public when making public statements," California Deputy Attorney General Megan O'Neill said in her opening statement on behalf of the states. "It was especially bad for kids," she said. # ⚓ Bhaskar English ☛ Meta_Child_Safety_Trial_|_Instagram Facebook_Changes_Impact_India⠀⇛ Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, is facing a federal trial in California over allegations that it designed its platforms to keep children and teenagers hooked and collected data from children under 13 without proper parental consent. The case could also force Meta to make major changes to how its platforms work. # § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ The_long_tail_of_Clop’s_PTC_hack is_just_beginning_to_emerge⠀⇛ The vulnerability at the center of Clop’s latest campaign affects a pair of software products from PTC — Windchill and FlexPLM — which manufacturers and retailers, particularly in the manufacturing, aerospace, and automotive industries, use to automate supply chain systems and manage product lifecycles. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Cl0p_Ransomware_Group_Names_Over_40 Victims_of_PTC_Windchill_Campaign⠀⇛ The Cl0p ransomware group has named more than 40 organizations allegedly targeted in the recent campaign that exploited a vulnerability in PTC’s product lifecycle management (PLM) platforms Windchill and FlexPLM. # ⚓ [Old] US Congress ☛ A_Cascade_of_Security_Failures: Assessing_Microsoft_Corporation’s_Cybersecurity Shortfalls_and_the_Implications_for_Homeland_Security [PDF]⠀⇛ The purpose of this hearing is to examine the Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber Safety Review Board’s recent report concerning the summer 2023 Microsoft Exchange on-line cyber incident. Specifically, we’ll examine Microsoft’s view regarding the company’s security practices and challenges encountered in preventing significant cyber intrusions by suspected nation-state actors and its plans to strengthen security measures moving forward. # ⚓ [Old] Paul A Strassmann ☛ Software:_So_Bad,_It_Can Only_Get_Better⠀⇛ Software can easily rate among the most poorly constructed, unreliable and least maintainable technological artifacts ever invented by man -- with perhaps the exception of Icarus' wings. Nobody would tolerate telephones that crash every other day. Nobody would buy a house if taxes and upkeep were seven times the purchase price. Nobody would acquire a microwave oven if it meant rewiring the entire house every time some other new appliance was plugged in. Absolutely nobody would spend a year's rent to replace all doors because somebody attached the hinges with only two screws instead of the required four. o § Privatisation/Privateering⠀➾ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ NASA's_$30_Million_Bid_To Save_Ageing_Swift_Observatory_Called_off_After_Rescue_Craft Suffers_Control_Problems⠀⇛ Intense solar activity caused the telescope to lose altitude faster than engineers had anticipated. To counter this decay, NASA awarded a £23.5 million ($30 million) contract to Katalyst to raise its orbit. The rescue craft launched in July but entered a sudden uncontrollable spin weeks into its flight. Ground teams managed to slow the rotation, but technical faults continued to affect its attitude control systems, and the capture attempt was cancelled. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ NASA’s_Attempt_to_Save_the_Swift_Telescope Has_Failed⠀⇛ On Wednesday, NASA announced that a rescue spacecraft that was meant to grab onto the space agency’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and push it into a higher altitude will not proceed. With the rescue mission called off, Swift, which has observed distant, powerful explosions in the cosmos since 2004, is expected to burn up in the atmosphere later this year. “This is not the outcome we were working toward, but it does not change why this mission was worth attempting,” Jared Isaacman, the NASA administrator, said in a news release. # ⚓ NASA ☛ NASA_Updates_Next_Steps_for_Commercial_Swift_Boost Mission_-_NASA⠀⇛ Due to an ongoing commercial spacecraft attitude control issue, NASA and Katalyst Space announced Wednesday the LINK spacecraft will not capture or boost an agency satellite to a higher altitude to extend its science mission as planned. However, LINK still will attempt to conduct rendezvous and proximity operations with NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory to demonstrate key capabilities for the future of space exploration. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ If_You_Thought_Pervert_Glasses_Were_Bad, Wait_Till_You_See_Apple's_Leaked_AirPods⠀⇛ Bloomberg has reported that the cameras in the AirPods will “essentially act as eyes” for Siri and its Visual Intelligence features, allowing a wearer to ask things about their environment or, as the clip teases, take notes and transcribe text. Crucially, the camera-equipped AirPods aren’t designed to take photos or video, according to the reporting. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Teen_Boys_Are_Using_Meta_Glasses_to_Harass and_Bully_Girls_at_High_Schools_and_Middle_Schools⠀⇛ The video has the distinctive style of the invasive “rizzcam” and other “POV” videos in which self-styled “pickup artists” and other online creators use smart glasses to record themselves harassing women at malls and boardwalks or pestering employees at their place of work for content. But the people in this video aren’t adults. Everyone in the clip — the girl, the boy filming, and hallway passersby — is a teenage student. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ What_DeFlock?_A_Week_of_Action_Confronts the_AI_Surveillance_State⠀⇛ The op-ed Canyen Ashworth wrote last September may have been critical of the police where he lives in Lenexa, Kansas, but it could hardly be considered radical. A racist and nonsensical police investigation into the immigration status of a sitting city council member had generated embarrassing headlines, and a chaotic Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid on a beloved local taqueria went viral. Pointing to basic reforms, Ashworth argued Lenexa’s city leaders had “work to do” in order to “meet the moment” and restore trust among residents. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Senators_Criticize_Trump Administration’s_Demands_for_Foreign_Health_Data⠀⇛ Citing ProPublica’s reporting, eight senators wrote a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio questioning the administration’s approach to foreign health data. They said it could set an “alarming precedent.” # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Flock_surveillance_backlash_mounts as_fiendish_Halloween_plans_circulate⠀⇛ Days after its CEO apologized for documented abuses of the company's system, The Register contacted the company's usually responsive media team about an online campaign calling for its automated license plate readers (ALPRs) to be vandalized on Halloween, and received an automated response. # ⚓ APNIC ☛ Asia_Pacific_privacy_laws_are_arriving._Your NREN_holds_more_personal_data_than_you_think.⠀⇛ This is no longer a future challenge. For most sectors, the implications have been debated and analysed extensively. However, National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) have not. The reason is a blind spot that needs to be addressed. An NREN’s potential response is that these laws are somebody else’s problem. We are not banks, telcos, or platforms. We provide open connectivity; we do not filter traffic, sell subscriptions, or profile users. That instinct is half right, and the wrong half is where the risk lives. # ⚓ Michael Geist ☛ Digital_Trade_Alignment:_What_May_Be in_Play_in_the_Canada-U.S._Trade_Deal⠀⇛ Bills currently before Parliament could also be part of a digital alignment package, though the U.S. has tended to focus on laws, not pending legislation. Nevertheless, Bill C-22’s lawful access provisions have drawn warnings from U.S. congressional leaders about encryption and metadata retention, and Bill C-34’s mandated age verification would require millions of Canadians to age-verify to use U.S. social media services. The U.S. has opposed age verification in the UK, which raises at a long-shot possibility that it gets included in a Canadian deal. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Flock_Safety_Decides_To_Implement_A_Few Changes_After_Months_Of_Negative_Press⠀⇛ It looks like the last six weeks of concertedly negative press about cops using Flock tech to stalk their exes, their exes’ family members, and anyone else misogynist cops might want to keep tabs on has finally forced the company to do something, rather than just pretend it’s not Flock’s fault that far too many law enforcement officers are also horrible human beings. Flock has finally recognized its most profitable market is littered with people who simply can’t be trusted with this access to billions of license plate records. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Salon ☛ Bring_back_the_corporate_death_penalty⠀⇛ I’m a huge fan of the corporate death penalty, a legal process in which a corporation is forced to dissolve or stop existing. (This is actually the only death penalty I support, because the state executing humans isn’t just unethical, it also doesn’t work to deter homicides. But unlike what the Supreme Court believes, I don’t think of corporations as human.) More formally known as judicial dissolution, the corporate death penalty basically happens when the government is so pissed off by the corruption or damage a corporation causes that it yanks away their charter. # ⚓ Votebeat ☛ Over_1,300_mail_ballots_were_undelivered_in Navajo_County,_Arizona._Data_suggests_that’s_not_unusual.⠀⇛ Their return does not necessarily mean those voters were disenfranchised, as they could have voted in person instead. But slowdowns in mail processing and President Donald Trump’s invections against mail voting put voters and advocates nationwide on edge about the U.S. Postal Service’s role in elections. Anxiety is especially acute in Arizona, where the vast majority of voters cast ballots by mail. That has put more attention on the state’s undeliverable ballots. # ⚓ [Old] AELP ☛ Big_Tech_Monopolies_Endanger_American_Security -_American_Economic_Liberties_Project⠀⇛ Big Tech companies fight regulation by claiming that they are a necessary force for American national security.

[PDF]⠀⇛ And the biggest players, Russia and Iran, are working even harder at election inuence than they did in 2016 or 2020. Yet the government’s warnings about foreign schemes are frequently undercut by the efforts of both Democrats and Republicans to weaponize such intelligence. In 2024, Democrats have railed about Vladimir Putin “rooting for” Trump, while Republicans have insisted that Biden- appointed intelligence officials are underplaying Iran’s schemes to defeat the former President—including by plotting his assassination. Representative Mike Turner, an Ohio Republican who chairs the House Intelligence Committee—and who recently put out a statement under the headline “Is the Biden-Harris Administration Colluding with Iran?”—told me, “You don’t hear a lot from the Administration about the malign inuence of Iran in hacking the Trump campaign and attempting to kill Donald Trump.” According to people involved in a recent classied brieng on election security, the two sides of the House Intelligence Committee got into a shouting match over the relative scale of the threats. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ FOIA_Documents_Show_Epstein_Files_Had_Flag_List Which_Included_The_Term_‘POTUS’⠀⇛ Once Trump was elected in 2024, the furor died down. While the MAGA faithful were willing to take down their own just to put a few Dems’ heads on spikes, they were suddenly less audible once they realized any document dump would take down a few of their own. Even Donald Trump seemed to know this, which is he why he shifted his focus elsewhere. It took a literal act of Congress to get the Epstein files released, despite Trump and other GOP figures having promised to put this at the top of the MAGA to-do list if they retook the White House. Trump engaged in multiple rounds of spin, hoping to make it look as though demanding the release of the files and refusing to release the files were both the same side of the MAGA coin. o § Environment⠀➾ # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ LRT ☛ As_Europe’s_rivers_hit_record_lows,_what_does the_future_hold_for_Lithuania’s_waterways?⠀⇛ While this summer's headlines have focused on record-low water levels on the Rhine, Danube and Vistula, Lithuania's own rivers have been in slow decline for three decades – a trend scientists say will accelerate as the climate warms further, regardless of how much rain falls in any given year. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ GOP_Begs_AI_Firms_to_Fix_Data_Centers’ “Toxic_Brand”_to_Help_Midterm_Chances⠀⇛ Axios first reported on a leaked memo sent by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) on Tuesday. In the memo, the group says that the backing of data centers has become an “anchor” on the campaign of GOP Senate candidate Jon Husted in Ohio — and that Republican campaigns in other states are going to be affected, too, if public perception doesn’t change. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Jason_Kelce-led_marketing_campaign asks_beer_drinkers_to_send_their_pee_to_AI_data_centers —_Liquid_Death_and_Garage_Beer_skit_claims_'AI_data centers_waste_millions_of_gallons_of_water'⠀⇛ Aside from electricity use and consumption pushing prices for all consumers, the next big issue that many data centers face is the amount of water that they consume in their operations. There have been several instances of data centers affecting the water supply of the neighborhood that they’re in. One example of this is this 615-acre campus in Fayetteville, which has been causing low water pressure for over 15 months as it secretly sucked 29 million gallons of water, while another report showed a Meta data center allegedly muddying the water supply in a Georgia town. # ⚓ Sang-Ki Lee ☛ Is_Global_Warming_Changing_the_Pacific Ocean’s_Natural_Cycles?⠀⇛ This study utilizes large climate model ensembles to investigate how human activities influence Pacific decadal variability (PDV), focusing on the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and the North Pacific Gyre Oscillation (NPGO). Researchers found that anthropogenic forcing creates long-term temperature trends that closely mimic these natural cycles, potentially leading to misleading observations of forced phase changes. When scientists used a specialized method to remove the forced mean-state trend, they discovered that the underlying nature of PDV remains largely unchanged by external emissions. However, greenhouse gases and aerosols do notably alter the spatial patterns of these oscillations, even if they do not shift their timing. The findings highlight the difficulty of separating internal climate fluctuations from human- induced warming in a single real-world timeline. Ultimately, the authors emphasize that accurately simulating background temperature trends is a vital prerequisite for understanding future changes in the Pacific Ocean. # ⚓ Rebecca Solnit ☛ The_Right_Word_is_Wrongness⠀⇛ We do have a damaged sky; we put billions of tons of greenhouse gases in it, thickening the planet's insulating layer and heating it all up. I think we all live with this sense of wrongness and have for the past decade, sometimes about something happening in our immediate vicinity, something we can see the way I saw the hills a few miles away looking like faded photographs of themselves through the smoky air and the hungry deer coming down from the hills. And sometimes in the news with the stories of how greed and corruption are shredding the systems that preserved order in our society, made it run smoothly in ways that matter when it came to accountable institutions and law-abiding elected officials, food safety, public health, human rights, the health of higher education and government-backed science. # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ Deseret Media ☛ Florida's_Jellyfish_Museum_is dedicated_solely_to_the_mesmerizing_floating predators⠀⇛ Jellyfish have survived for over 500 million years, making them older than dinosaurs and even trees. Their ancient origins are part of their allure, along with their hypnotic, pulsing movements. They have no heart or brain, and are made up primarily of water, giving them a translucent look. Yana Yanovsky came up with the idea for the jellyfish museum after noticing how popular the jellyfish were at their other aquariums. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Zambia:_Mundubile_seeks_to_overturn election_result_in_court⠀⇛ The election was marred by accusations of interference and by arrests of opposition figures. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Alphabet_raises_$3.9_billion_in_inaugural Australian_dollar_bond⠀⇛ The US ​tech giant raised the amount by issuing ​3-, 5-, 10- and 20-year bonds, the term sheet showed. The company ​set the coupon ⁠at 6.9% ‌for the longest tenure ​bond ​tranche, according to the term ⁠sheet. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Stripe_buys_AI_model_router_OpenRouter_in reported_$7.5B_deal⠀⇛ Neither company disclosed terms and the reported numbers do not agree. The New York Times said $7.5 billion, citing a person with knowledge of the terms. Axios put it above $8 billion, and said it’s mostly in stock. Bloomberg had the figure above $7 billion on Sunday. Talks opened nearer to $10 billion, according to earlier Wall Street Journal reporting. Closing is expected within weeks. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Stripe_Buys_A.I._Start-Up_OpenRouter_for $7.5_Billion⠀⇛ The deal, announced on Wednesday, combines Stripe’s technology, which lets companies direct payments to other businesses, with OpenRouter’s technology, which lets them direct their spending of “tokens” between different providers of A.I. models. Tokens are an atomic unit of A.I. use, roughly equivalent to a word fragment. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Sophie_Rain_Celebrates_as Republican_Who_Wanted_to_Hit_Her_With_$42m_OnlyFans_'Sin_Tax' Loses_Election⠀⇛ Fishback made the proposal personal for Rain by publicly calculating she could owe Florida $42 million under his plan. He said the tax would discourage participation in the industry and raise money for schools and teacher pay. The creator had already told critics she pays her fair share in taxes. # ⚓ Bitdefender ☛ Prison_for_data_analyst_who_tried_to_extort $2.5_million_from_his_employer⠀⇛ "Loot" threatened to increase his demand by US $100,000 for every month his former employer refused to pay, and increased pressure on the firm by attaching screenshots of spreadsheets that listed employees' names, their home addresses, dates of birth, and salary information. # ⚓ The New Stack ☛ "The_opening_stages_of_OpenAI's unraveling":_OpenAI_slows_model_training_-_not_everyone_is buying_the_explanation⠀⇛ Of course, similar to Anthropic’s Mythos misadventures before it, OpenAI may have other incentives for publicizing the slowdown. On the same day that OpenAI was explaining its slowdown, the Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI’s operating losses widened by $3 billion to $12.3 billion in the second quarter — three times the $1 billion in extra revenue it brought in over the same period, which grew 18% to $6.7 billion. Anthropic, over the same quarter, more than doubled its revenue to $11.6 billion — overtaking OpenAI for the first time. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ Have_a_Good_Life⠀⇛ I have read this over several times. It is the argument of the moment, in miniature. It is also the confession of a man who knows what is being done and cannot bear to see it, and who has found a shape of words that allows him to endorse it anyway. The shape is worth taking apart. # ⚓ Michael Geist ☛ TMU_Picks_Damage_Control_Over_Fixing_the Damage:_Behind_Its_Shameful_Response_to_the_Devastating Benotto_Report_on_Campus_Antisemitism⠀⇛ For the Jewish students at the centre of the two incidents, the findings amount to vindication of the concerns that have been ignored for too long. The review concludes that the September arrest, portrayed on social media as an act of brutality against a protester, was reasonable and lawful, criticizing edited footage that omitted what actually occurred. Its account of November 5 is far worse: masked protesters, mobilized within hours by social media posts referencing “Zionist murderers”, followed organizers into a privately rented space where a glass door was shattered inward with a drill bit later found at the scene, leaving the speaker cut and hospitalized along with others. The review expressly rejects claims that the protesters were the victims, noting that five people now face charges that include unlawful assembly, rioting while masked, and public incitement of hatred. Beyond the misleading claims from the perpetrators and their supporters, it holds TMU responsible, concluding that its refusal to allow the event on campus amounted to a heckler’s veto that arguably increased the danger by pushing it into an unprotected venue. # ⚓ Paul Krugman ☛ What_Are_Bond_Markets_Telling_Us?⠀⇛ But I have a message for future policymakers: Don’t panic. Don’t let the usual suspects undermine your policy agenda by scaremongering about interest rates and government debt. I say future policymakers because in the United States there is no point in offering sensible advice to current management. Trump and co. not only won’t pay attention to sound advice, they are completely beholden to Trump’s insatiable appetite for budget-busting vanity projects. Only a future Democratic administration will be willing to act in the nation’s interest to address rising interest rates and accelerating government deficits. # ⚓ The Drone Girl ☛ Appeals_court_hands_DJI_partial_victory_in Pentagon_blacklist_lawsuit⠀⇛ In a major legal development with broad implications for the commercial drone industry, a federal appeals court ruled Friday that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) failed to provide adequate public justification for designating DJI as a “Chinese military company.” In a decision authored by Circuit Judge Garcia, a three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed parts of a lower court ruling while reversing a crucial element. The appellate court sent the case back to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to examine the Pentagon’s redacted, classified evidence. # ⚓ MinnPost ☛ Data_centers:_Where_projects_go,_local candidates_follow_-_MinnPost⠀⇛ But none of those races compares to this year. Last Tuesday’s primary featured 10 candidates, and the crowded field couldn’t escape one key question leading up to election day: How do you feel about data centers? # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ Bridge Michigan ☛ Fact_check:_Would_‘money_out_of politics’_proposal_stifle_free_speech?⠀⇛ The US Supreme Court has generally held that political spending by corporations is protected speech, most notably in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, but courts have looked more favorably on narrowly tailored proposals aimed at limiting corruption. Here are the facts. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ RFERL ☛ One_Of_Russia's_Youngest_Political_Prisoners_Turns 18._And_He_Faces_New_Charges.⠀⇛ Turbin was 15 years old when he was arrested in 2023 after distributing flyers criticizing Russian President Vladimir Putin, sharing posts by opposition politicians, and expressing opposition to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. # ⚓ India Times ☛ China_data_centres:_China_goes_rural_with data_centres_in_quest_to_power_AI⠀⇛ Dissent in China is tightly controlled, however, especially around central government policy. # ⚓ EFF ☛ Ninth_Circuit_Ruling_Will_Force_Online_Platforms_That Host_User_Speech_to_Fight_Lengthy_and_Costly_Lawsuits_Before They_Are_Dismissed_Under_Section_230⠀⇛ A federal appeals court just made it harder for online services, big and small, to get lawsuits over user speech dismissed early. In California v. Meta, a Ninth Circuit three-judge panel held that the lower court’s denial of Section 230 immunity to Meta is not immediately appealable. The misguided ruling has the potential to have widespread impact and to threaten the free speech of all internet users. # ⚓ Fabio Akita ☛ Survival_Guide_for_a_Censored_Internet⠀⇛ Last week I wrote about the Discord censorship and Brazil’s Digital ECA law, the Digital ECA (“Estatuto Digital da Criança e do Adolescente”, the digital version of Brazil’s Child and Adolescent Statute): the ANPD (Brazil’s data protection authority, now also the country’s de facto internet regulator) ordered the Go Live feature shut down nationwide because end-to-end encryption prevents content surveillance, and in the same package came the first sentence enhancement in Brazilian history for committing a crime “using a VPN”. After that article, the question I got the most was the obvious one: “OK, so what do I do?” # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ ABC_Sues_The_FCC_For_Massive_First_Amendment Violations⠀⇛ In the latter case, the Carr FCC appears to have colluded with right-wing local broadcast companies to falsely make it appear that a local ABC affiliate violated dated FCC “equal opportunity” rules by hosting Texas Senate hopeful James Talarico last February. Carr used this to try and justify an unprecedented early review of ABC’s eight local affiliate broadcast licenses. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Truthdig ☛ Pentagon_Unleashes_Fury_on_‘America-Hating’ Media⠀⇛ U.S. Central Command chief Adm. Brad Cooper offered a more measured response in a post on CENTCOM’s X account after visiting the Abraham Lincoln. While not addressing the specific allegations about conditions aboard the carrier, Cooper said the ship has “among the lowest numbers of cases related to mental health” among the Navy’s 11 active aircraft carriers. He also acknowledged that prolonged service at sea is “uniquely challenging and tough” and said mental health “requires our attention,” while praising the crew’s resilience and leadership. # ⚓ Karl Bode ☛ The_U.S._Press_Starts_Showing_The_Hint_Of_A Backbone⠀⇛ These investigations included an unprecedented early review of ABC's eight local broadcast licenses. As I've written at Techdirt, that effort was particularly interesting given it involved the FCC actively colluding with right wing broadcast companies like Sinclair Broadcasting to pretend ABC violated the law. These investigations are legally baseless censorship efforts by dim autocrats, but they've historically been propped up by other cowed media outlets – and the vast right wing propaganda apparatus – as serious inquiries. o § Civil Rights / Policing / Accessibility⠀➾ # ⚓ Western Water ☛ Chromium_plume_standoff_reaches_Pueblo land⠀⇛ • New Mexico regulators say the lab has ignored February demands to halt the spreading chromium plume. • The state fined the Los Alamos National Laboratory $6 million for permit and water standard violations. • The contamination crossed onto San Ildefonso Pueblo land last November but sits away from known drinking water wells. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ US_Army_Corps_Pushes_Michigan_Pipeline_Project Ahead_Over_Indigenous_Opposition⠀⇛ The project, which tribes say violates treaty rights, has been the subject of heated controversy and legal battles. # ⚓ MIT ☛ MIT’s_financial_records_contradict_its_claims_of austerity⠀⇛ Over the course of May 2026 — the final weeks of the GSU’s first contract — MIT repeatedly claimed an inability to give graduate workers rights, benefits, and protections due to a time of financial stress. Here, an analysis of MIT’s recent financial decisions and reports will be presented to explore the information behind these claims. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Libraries_Beg_Brendan_Carr_To_Back_Off_Plan_To Make_U.S._Broadband_Shittier,_More_Expensive⠀⇛ E-Rate is a historically bipartisan and uncontroversial program that helps bring affordable broadband to rural libraries, schools, and communities. While it has had some issues with fraud at times (almost always at the hands of private companies), the program generally does a lot of good in bringing affordable internet access into communities neglected by telecom monopolies. Without it, or under a pared down version, schools and rural schoolkids would be more inclined to have to rely on what regional telecom monopolies deem appropriate, which is usually either over-priced broadband, or nothing at all. o § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ # ⚓ India Times ☛ Apple:_Apple_changes_fees_for_alternative_app stores_in_EU⠀⇛ The regulators criticised Apple's conditions, including a new Core Technology ​Fee, saying they discouraged developers from using alternative app distribution channels on its iOS mobile operating ​system. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Epic_Games_dismisses_Apple's_simplified EU_App_Store_fees_as_'junk'⠀⇛ Announced on August 18, the changes introduce new business terms for applications distributed in the European Union. Apple says the changes "reduce complexity by moving every developer that distributes apps in the EU to a single set of business terms" and resolve its long-running spat with the Commission over fees and alternative distribution. # § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Netflix_Hit_with_Trademark Lawsuit_Over_'Kpop_Demon_Hunters'⠀⇛ The band filed its lawsuit in the Central District of California under their company, Hyde Lane, against Netflix, Netflix Studios, and events promoter AEG Presents on Tuesday, August 18. The filing alleges trademark infringement, false designation of origin, and unfair competition. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ A_German_Court_Drew_the_Piracy_Line at_81.5%,_KinoGO_Was_Blocked_with_(at_least)_82.4%_ (Updated)⠀⇛ Germany doesn't have a hard benchmark for when a site is structurally infringing. However, the site-blocking clearinghouse CUII stated that illegal content clearly outweighs legal content when at least 81.5 percent of a site is infringing. After KinoGO was recently blocked with a floor of 82.4 percent, that line is closing in, raising the question of whether sites could simply pad their libraries with legal fillers. =============================================================================== Image source: Edinburgh =============================================================================== * Clownflare_Sees_GNU/Linux_at_16%_Market_Share_on_Desktops/Laptops_in Tajikistan * Looking_Ahead_at_September ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4014 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Links 20/08/2026: 'Linux' Foundation Promoting Slop Hype for Money (Hype as a Service), Malaysia’s Exports Jump 38% Year-on-Year⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 20, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Vintage,_antique_art_painting_of_the_bridge_in_Central_Park, New_York,_America,_poster,_print⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Leftovers o Science_/_Mathematics_/_Computer_Science o Career/Education o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Proprietary_/_Vendor_Lock-in_/_Malware o Security # Integrity/Availability/Authenticity # Privacy/Surveillance # Confidentiality o Defence/Aggression o Environment # Energy/Transportation o Finance o AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics o Censorship/Free_Speech o Internet_Policy/Net_Neutrality o Monopolies/Monopsonies # Patents # Trademarks # Copyrights * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Science / Mathematics / Computer Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Organized_Megastorms_Could_Reshape_Tropics' Rainy_Seasons_In_The_Coming_Years⠀⇛ We need to prepare. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Quantum_Entanglement_Generated_From Sunlight_For_The_First_Time_Ever⠀⇛ Some said it was impossible... # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ This_Simple_Trick_Could_Finally_Help_You Cut_Down_on_Phone_Time⠀⇛ It shouldn't work – but it does. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Scientists_Discover_a_New_Organ_Hiding_in The_Skull⠀⇛ And it could help us fight brain cancer. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Unprecedented:_Scientists_Have_Built Miniature_Brains_That_Experience_The_Passage_Of_Time⠀⇛ A breakthrough for studying our own brains. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Astronomers_Detect_The_Fastest_Star_Ever Seen,_Traveling_at_15,500_Miles_Per_SECOND⠀⇛ "This is unprecedented." o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Stanford University ☛ Stanford_could_face_DOJ_scrutiny_over foreign_donations⠀⇛ A report from the Department of Education ranked Stanford fourth among universities for donations from “countries of concern,” including China and Russia. # ⚓ Chronicle Of Higher Education ☛ Higher_Ed's_Hidden Corporate_Empire [iophk: And be preyed upon by dozens as well, and not just the usual crooks (Cisco, Microsoft, Oracle, PeopleSoft, etc)]⠀⇛ A single campus can contain dozens of separately incorporated entities. # ⚓ Chronicle Of Higher Education ☛ Do_Colleges_Covertly Discriminate?_Convicted_Felon's_New_Investigation_Casts_a Wider_Net.⠀⇛ n announcing its case against the College of William & Mary, the Justice Department flagged programs and phrases that have long been viewed as racially neutral or permissible under civil-rights law. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Upgrading_my_ThinkPad_X230?_In_this economy?⠀⇛ Sometimes the question isn’t whether you should do something, but rather whether you could.

Union members represented by the Communications Workers of America (CWA) and local labor allies staged another round of 'Save Our Devs' rallies on August 19, 2026, in Austin, Dallas, Seattle, Rockville, Hunt Valley, Montreal, and Minneapolis. The first 'Save Our Devs' rallies were held in July. The CWA said workers gathered to call out "layoffs and corporate greed across the industry" and to demand fair first contracts across Microsoft's vast portfolio of video game studios—which are currently being subjected to their fifth round of layoffs in three years. # ⚓ PAYDAY_3_is_generating_less_and_less_money,_nearly_half_of the_staff_have_been_laid_off_—_and_more_from_the_Starbreeze report_|_WN_Hub⠀⇛ In the first six months of 2026, Starbreeze registered a net loss of 93 million Swedish kronor ($9.86 million), marking a 77.8% increase from the previous year. The company's revenue amounted to 52.1 million Swedish kronor ($5.5 million), a 57% decrease compared to the previous year. # § So-Called 'Artificial Intelligence' ('AI') / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ James Brown ☛ Just_Reiterating⠀⇛ I had to have The Talk with my boss today. You know the one: Nobody's saying you have to use 'AI', but you really should experiment with frontier models. Almost everyone else on the team loves them. They're inevitable! Surely this will be the last job you'll ever have where chatbots aren't mandatory. Even if you aren't going to use them, at least stop complaining when people send you obviously- vibe-coded long 'AI-assisted' PRs. Everyone here should already_know_my_stance on_these_things, but just because it makes me feel better, I'm going to write it down again: other people think that LLMs are "cool" or that they "improve engineering velocity". I think they've evil. These aren't positions with a middle ground between them. # ⚓ The Anarcat ☛ Antoine_Beaupré:_The_people_vs_the_Hey Hi_(AI)_overlords⠀⇛ Previously in this series: The_Four Horsemen_of_the_LLM_Apocalypse. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Beijing_Hey_Hi_(AI)_bar_that_offers unlimited_free_DeepSeek_coding_tokens_with_$1.50_drink haemorrhaging_cash_—_'the_bar_is_completely_losing money,_'_owner_admits⠀⇛ An AI-themed bar in Beijing's Zhongguancun tech hub hands out free, unlimited DeepSeek tokens with its drinks, running inference locally on two Nvidia DGX Spark mini-PCs. # ⚓ Rakhesh Sasidharan ☛ Code_Dependent_(Book)⠀⇛ I was half expecting (and not looking forward to) it being a book that bashes AI (or goes the other way and gushes over it). Instead, this book was very neutral. It went into a lot of AI usage (gig economy, data labelling, profiling people, video surveillance etc.) and had a very balanced view of things. Yes, AI is being used for a lot of harm, but it is also used in some good ways. I liked that. To me AI is a symptom of the overall issue. I think over time our social structures and institutions have been failing – not due to immigation or people etc. but more due to lack of investment in them. Things might have been easier in the past for the rich countries at least due to colonialism and such when money was flowing around, but for a long time that hasn’t been the case and all countries have had to invest from whatever money they have via trade and other means.
