"The hundreds of Porsches who have been left stranded across Russia are a harsh reminder that today’s high-end cars are utterly dependent on the internet, relying on satellites to remotely update their complex electronics. And when those systems fail or are deactivated, a luxury vehicle simply becomes an expensive ornament for your garage, assuming the incident hits you with the car parked in it." -commentary on an_urgent_wake-up_call 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Offline and off the road: the hidden perils of the connected car era⦈ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇System Failure Leaves Porsche Drivers Across Russia Unable To Start Their Cars⦈ With trade wars, embargoes, price feuds, and proxy wars (or nations secretly arming and covertly trafficking weapons to other nations to fight a war) there is growing risk of sanctions against "third parties". China is one of those. Suppose you buy grain or toys from China. That might be OK, not much can go wrong if you consume or use these. But what about cars? There are more and more cars coming from China (made in China, designed in China) and they are priced competitively. The media focuses on the "EV" aspect of it, as China reduces its dependence on fossil fuels (unlike the West with its dangerous datacentres fetish/bubble). Cars need maintenance and casual repairs. The latter in particular relies on spare parts and reliable replacements are made by original manufacturers. What if some time in the coming years there are sanctions or rules against imports from China? Are we prepare to service cars that are made in China under restrictive trade conditions and prohibitive duties (tariffs). There are certain products that are based purchased domestically and produced domestically. They're at less risk during times of war and trade wars. Software is no different! Nations must begin to speak about their digital sovereignty, which Free software is best equipped to grant and best positioned to assure in the face of outside resistance. █ *

Greed is a form of mental illness, more so when it exceeds some rational, logical levels (e.g. people trying to hoard more capital than they conceivably and meaningfully spend in their remaining lifetime). Stuff has gotten more expensive and companies try to make us believe or compel us to accept that we need "apps" or fake "modernity" that does not enrich life in any meaningful way. "When I buy something," as_ploum.net_put_it_the_other_day, "from a small kitchen appliance to a car, I'm now forced to get formal confirmation by the seller that I will be able to use it without installing one, two or three different apps. I kept the count: in the last year alone, I had to argue against the installation of 18 smartphone apps. Just in my toilet, I'm supposed to have an app for the seat, an app for the flush and one for the ventilation." We already reached "peak s--t" decades ago, there's not much left to enhance in a toilet seat. We don't need "apps" there. Then again, never underestimate the power of aggressive marketing. Or an employer or hotel manager or "landlord" (landlady also) who puts "smart" things everywhere. I was recently reminded of the Mancunian band protesting_for_freedom and also against greed and hoarding (back_in_the_1970s_and_80s). They're all still alive, doing well, and well into their 80s. They did "art for art's sake" and enjoyed the art. "Money for God's sake..." Does "God" take your bank balance when your life ends? █ * We'll_Never_Do_Slop! * BRICS_in_the_Windows:_Brazil's_GNU/Linux_Share_(as_Measured_by_CDN)_Has Hit_Highest_Point_in_a_Month ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣛⣻⣿⣿⣯⣭⣽⣿⣿⣭⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣛⣛⣿⣿⣯⣭⣽⣿⣿⣶⣶⡿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣻⢙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣟⣛⣻⣿⣿⣭⣭⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⢿⣿⡿⣟⣻⡟⢿⠟⣟⣭⣻⠻⢿⣐⣻⣿⢹⡝⣼⢹⣿⣻⣻⣳⣿⣽⣾⣷⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡟⢵⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⣟⡟⡭⡏⢿⡏⣿⣽⣏⢾⣏⣶⣝⢹⣿⣿⣷⣿⣾⣷⣭⣿⣾⣿⣷⡶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣿⣿⢼⡟⣯⡟⡇⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣧⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣧⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣸⣮⣧⣿⣷⣭⣷⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⢟⣻⢻⢟⣭⡻⣿⣧⢾⡳⣿⡎⣿⣿⢰⣿⣇⣧⣚⣫⣷⣽⣮⣿⣿⣿⣿⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣏⣒⣟⣿⡻⡏⣽⢹⣶⣙⣿⣇⣿⣿⡸⠿⡺⣮⣛⣳⣿⣿⣬⣷⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣿⣽⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣾⡷⣃⢯⡭⣾⢸⣯⣛⣣⣧⣿⣷⣭⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣽⣿⣿⢿⣛⣛⣿⣿⣯⣭⣿⣯⣿⠔⢒⣯⣭⣿⡟⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣶⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣿⣿⣿⣭⣽⣿⣿⣶⣿⣭⣭⣿⣟⣛⣻⣷⠮⠝⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣾⣿⣶⣬⣮⣷⡌⣛⢋⣰⣻⠿⢭⣭⡛⠿⢻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣝⡿⢿⣿⡿⢟⣾⣿⡼⣿⣿⣷⣷⣾⡿⣠⢷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣷⣭⣟⣛⣟⣛⣽⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣭⣥⣬⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣽⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠙⠛⠉⢩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡯⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⠟⠁⠙⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣷⣤⠉⢭⣉⣙⣭⣅⡎⣡⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⠿⠟⠓⠶⢴⣾⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣶⡀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⣩⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡿⠃⢀⡞⢠⣴⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠘⠙⠋⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⣀⣛⠲⢤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠟⠀⠀⠸⣆⣺⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⡟⠿⢶⣦⣤⣀⣠⣤⡀⡀⢰⠃⠀⠀⠀⠈⡽⡽⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠛⠿⠿⣋⣀⣉⠛⠛⠡⠘⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠖⠟⠗⠀⠀⠀⠉⠩⣿⣿⣿⡿⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⢻⢻⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣈⡯⢱⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣈⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠲⢶⠆⠶⠦⣶⡶⣾⠶⠚⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⡿⠿⠶⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣦⣴⣶⣿⣦⣿⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠙⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⡿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠉⠛⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 401 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/09/04/GNU_Linux_Continues_to_Grow_in_China.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/09/04/GNU_Linux_Continues_to_Grow_in_China.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GNU/Linux Continues to Grow in China⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 04, 2026 GNU/Linux reached its highest point in a month some hours ago in China: 14%.

Remember that China is now_dumping_Windows_for_GNU/Linux and it had a national distro release some_days_ago. For_the_sake_of_national_security, not only BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) need to avoid GAFAM. Europe should too. The back doors are simply not acceptable. "It was observed last year or so that Europe is no longer at peace with Russia," an associate notes_in_relation_to_recent_developments, "but the assertion at the time was that it was not yet at war. That is no longer true. The Kremlin has been openly at war with Europe (and the West in general) for a while now, including shooting towards UK boats. The EU needs to get off its ass, eliminate the Microsofters and their backdoors, and stand up." Windows_is_back_doors, it's not an operating system. Windows surrenders one's systems, data, and national sovereignty in_general. It's not too shocking that serial sloppers and slop pushers (including Microsofters) paid the Linux Foundation to do_the_same_to_Linux. █ * Over_at_Tux_Machines... * Buying_From_China ⣿⣻⣿⣟⣛⣟⣛⣛⣻⣟⣻⣻⣿⣿⣻⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠻⠛⠿⠛⠙⠻⠛⠟⠛⠙⠙⠋⠙⠛⠙⠛⠏⠙⠛⠉⠛⠟⠛⠻⠟⠛⠻⠛⠟⠟⠻⠻⠛⡟⠛⠙⠛⠛⠻⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⠛⠟⠛⠛⠛⠋⠛⠻⠻⠿⠟⠿⠿⠟⠻⠟⠛⠛⠏⠛⠻⠙⠟⠛⠻⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 462 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/09/04/In_the_United_Kingdom_You_Can_No_Longer_Make_the_Assumption_Peo.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/09/04/In_the_United_Kingdom_You_Can_No_Longer_Make_the_Assumption_Peo.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ In the United Kingdom You Can No Longer Make the Assumption People Use Windows (or 'Smart' 'Phone')⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 04, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Sunset_in_the_mountains_in_autumn⦈_ As autumn arrives Microsoft faces a crisis (speaking from personal observation and experience) This week: PIP_Layoffs_at_Microsoft,_Even_in_India Based on what I read last year, over a million Brits do not have a mobile phone and that's not because of poverty. Similarly, many insist on using cash and not because they're dumb* or "dodgy". Many never use Windows and it's not because they're unable to afford the licence (many of them pay a lot more for Apple 'Macs' or PCs with an "Apple" logo/branding). From what we can estimate, based on open data from CDNs, ~64% of people use Windows on laptops/desktops in_the_United_Kingdom (similar_figure_from statCounter). That's just based on Web-connected machines that aren't just on the Net but also the Web (not_the_same_thing). In the US, it is even worse for Windows, which used to have 90% or more on laptops/desktops. Not anymore. Not even close! How did this happen? "Why does WIN 11 and CoPilot SUCK so Bad?" somebody asked earlier_this_week. "Because management is focused on revenue and profitability regardless of the applicability and quality of the software being written," someone responded. If many people abandon Windows, then good. Good riddance. But that does not mean the end of digital oppression. We have many more challenges to deal with after that. We'll be focusing on GAFAM and other "High-Priority_Opponents" in the coming years. I plan to carry on doing this for decades and others in the team are equally patient. █ ____ * The United Kingdom has a high proportion of well educated people and the average person is quite polite and reasonable.

Thousands, Anxiety in GAFAM Building Up⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 04, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Can't get PIPed when you don't go to work⦈ Hours ago: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Does being on std, delay the option to provide pip or gvsa at microsoft⦈ Global Voluntary Separation Agreement (GVSA) is a kind of layoff, spun as 'voluntary' [1, 2, 3]. GAFAM is trillions_in_debt (yes, trillions of US dollars) and the slop bubble will leave them all only with liabilities, not assets. Recently we saw very clear evidence of silent layoffs at Microsoft and even mainstream media agreed. Years ago I heard from people who pretended to be ill to avoid getting fired (or going to work to be informed as such). They say some people literally get ill (loss of bowel control) due to stress. Layoff trackers don't_tell_us_what's_going_on. They might tell us IBM had no layoffs this year, even when tens_of_thousands_are_let_go. What happened to investigative journalism?

to Satisfy (or They Terminate Workers Despite Satisfying Them)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 04, 2026 What insiders say "Final day of PIP today [IBM US]" got reported some hours_ago and "they said i will get paid till 15th then get 1 months severance..." Today, a Friday, we see loads of people leaving (as usual) and announcing it in social control media. In the_above_thread there are noteworthy comments, as assume from fellow IBMers. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Did you complete all the milestones?, Did they approve all your goals?, How long did the PIP last?. I’m under PIP in Software due “low performer” 15% last year ⦈ This seems to illuminate the scale/scope of this problem and the magnitude of the proportion laid off after being placed on a PIP (or made to resign, which means the same sans severance). You would not envy Confluent or Red Hat staff right now. Like the above says, the writings are on the wall. IBM wants staff cuts without 1) severance 2) WARN notices 3) shareholders finding out and panicking (impact on stock). █ * In_the_United_Kingdom_You_Can_No_Longer_Make_the_Assumption_People_Use

He_might_even take_legal_action unless it was sarcastic (though he had done this before, not too long ago). See, apparently "hurt feelings" are enough to lodge a case before the UK High Court, even if you live is another continent, which is where you abused people (in that other continent), then got arrested_in_that_other_continent. Somehow you feel shielded from criticism from another continent. It does not take much to see how absurd and disturbing it is. Thankfully Lucy Powell has helped us tackle this and it's still an ongoing affair. We_hope_it_will_result_in_more robust_press_protections_in_the_UK. What we have here is not_over_yet, but it certainly does_not_go_in_the_direction_the_hired_guns_had_hoped_or_anticipated before lodging two interconnected American lawsuits in London. They_will_face scrutiny_for_it. They repeatedly_lied_about_it. █ Previous Parts: 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_1_Out_of_200:_Claim_No._KB-2024-001270_in 03-03 a_Nutshell 2026-

To give a quick overview of the latest news, watch how much the SRA's failures have cost_the_public: * ⚓ Solicitor_regulator_criticised_over_firm's_collapse⠀⇛ An independent review has criticised the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) for missed opportunities to better identify issues at a law firm before its collapse. Sheffield-based PM Law closed suddenly on 2 February, leaving hundreds of employees out of work and many clients stranded mid-transaction. Jenner & Block LLP, which conducted the review, said the SRA had "held more information about the PM Law Group than was drawn together into a single, coherent picture". Anna Bradley, chair of the SRA Board, said the report "makes for difficult reading", adding: " We are particularly sorry for the impact this has had on former clients of the firm and accept we should have done better by them." Bradley added: "The Board is disappointed we missed opportunities to act on PM Law sooner, given the work we have already done to change the way we regulate." * ⚓ Independent_review_sets_out_extent_of_opportunities_missed_by_SRA_to address_PM_Law_failings⠀⇛ The Solicitors Regulation Authority missed multiple opportunities to address serious failings at PM Law Group from as far back as 2023, with investigations conducted without access to management accounts and explanations provided by PM Law leadership accepted on face value without independent verification. The central finding of an independent serious event review (SER) conducted by Jenner & Block London LLP is one of an organisation that lacked “the infrastructure – technological, procedural and in terms of trained expertise” to translate a large body of information gathered about the failed group over a number of years into “timely and effective regulatory action”. The SRA held “a substantial body” of information about the PM Law Group after conducting two forensic investigations into group firms in 2023 and 2025, along with an anti-money laundering (AML) inspection, a thematic review visit and “numerous” reports about group entities, a number of which were investigated. * ⚓ Oversight_regulator_steps_up_pressure_on_SRA_in_wake_of_PM_Law⠀⇛ The Legal Services Board (LSB) is to step up its demands of reform at the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) in the wake of the review that exposed major failures in its supervision of PM Law. The oversight regulator also expressed disappointment at the “standard of leadership and accountability demonstrated” by the SRA board. Serving the litigation "industry": * ⚓ In_depth:_SRA_beats_partial_retreat_on_compliance_officer_split⠀⇛ The Solicitors Regulation Authority has this week acted to ease the concerns of small firm owners about new rules governing the separation of compliance roles. Dissent has been mounting across the profession since oversight regulator the Legal Services Board confirmed that it had approved changes requiring that different individuals within firms take on compliance officer roles. The SRA acknowledges that it was unclear what the rules would mean in practice. The original rule, published last December, seemed to suggest that, for firms within scope, no senior manager could be a compliance officer. Facing investigation for failing to investigate: * ⚓ Enforcement_action_against_SRA_intensifies_after_latest_failure⠀⇛ The Legal Services Board is to take further enforcement action to secure urgent improvements at the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the oversight regulator revealed today. Last year, the LSB used its powers under the Legal Services Act to issue directions requiring the SRA to strengthen its approach to identifying and responding to risk, protecting client money and preventing consumer harm. The SRA said today it had made ‘meaningful progress’ towards meeting those requirements while acknowledging that further work is required. * ⚓ SRA_placed_into_special_measures_due_to_'disappointing_standard_of leadership'⠀⇛ The Legal Services Board has said it is enforcing even more special measures against the Solicitors Regulation Authority due to the staggering scale of the law firm failures it has overseen and the poor standard of its leadership. The LSB, which is the independent oversight regulator for legal services in England and Wales, said “urgent improvements” were needed. Following the antics of Axiom Ince and the loss of £60m of client money, in 2025 the LSB ordered the SRA to strengthen its approach to identifying risky firms. When SSB Law imploded the LSB has another go, imposing performance targets and censuring the regulator over its myopia around accumulator firms. The collapse of PM Law Group in February 2026 showed the SRA was resolved to carry on as normal (this July it belatedly banned the manager), reigniting concerns that it was crocked. Stay tuned, we have a very large pile of material about how the SRA failed Brits attacked by Americans, even ones who were arrested_in_America and charged. What can that tell us about the_SLAPP_industry's grip on the SRA? Might that teach us about wolves guarding sheep? This will interest our ministers, who are aware_of_the_problem. █ * Links_04/09/2026:_Notorious_Patent_Trolls'_Judge_Enters_the_Private Sector_(Corruption,_Revolving_Doors),_Gloria_Steinem's_Life_in_Pictures * next ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣄⣤⣄⣠⣤⣥⣴⣾⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣛⣛⣋⣭⣭⣭⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⢟⣛⣛⣛⣭⣭⣽⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣛⣛⣻⣯⣭⣭⣵⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡿⠿⠿⣿⣟⣛⣛⣭⣭⣭⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⠛⣛⣛⣋⣩⣭⣭⣥⣤⣶ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⠿⣿⡿⣻⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⢽⣿⡷⣿⣾⣿⣿⠶⣝⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⢿⣿⣏⣹⣿⣧⣼⣿⣏⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡎⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣭⣷⡀⠀⠀⣴⡿⠷⢾⣿⠛⢻⣿⠋⢹⣿⡋⢹⣯⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⡿⢁⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⢼⣿⡷⢿⣿⠿⢿⣿⡿⠿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢩⣭⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢿⣿⢿⡖⣿⡿⠟⣿⢹⣿⡏⡏⢾⣿⠆⡇⢸⣿⠸⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠿⠃⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣇⠀⣠⣧⣀⣠⣿⣦⣴⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⢨⣅⢻⡡⣭⣵⡎⠭⢾⡘⢿⣈⣇⣿⣘⣡⣽⣦⣽⣧⣿⣶⣷⣾⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⢙⣛⣛⣉⣉⣉⡭⣭⣥⣤ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⠛⢻⡿⠛⠻⣿⠟⠛⣿⡛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⣿⣶⣾⣜⣛⣠⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢸⣧⣀⣼⣧⣤⣼⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢙⣻⢘⣻⡻⣿⣻⣭⡝⣿⢉⣿⣟⢹⣶⢰⣿⣧⢻⣣⣿⣿⠘⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⣴⡾⢻⡆⠀⣾⡟⠋⣻⡟⠉⢻⣿⣀⣸⣧⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡚⣿⢸⣿⡯⣿⡸⣿⣼⣿⣇⣷⣙⣿⣣⣿⣼⣿⣿⣼⣿⣬⣽⣿⢏⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣀⢀⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣄⣰⡏⣰⣿⣷⣾⣿⣶⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⠋⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣾⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠈⣉⣀⣈⣉⣉⣋⡉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣾⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠑⢈⢻⡭⣝⣉⠏⡍⡉ ⠛⠛⢋⣉⣉⣉⡙⠛⠛⠻⢶⣤⣀⣰⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠄⠘⠛⠉⠙⠙⠁⠉ ⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠒⠶⢿⣿⣿⣧⡟⠛⠉⠀⠈⠁⠀⠙⢿⣷⠀⠘⠻⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⢛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣿⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣤⣤⣶⣶⡶⢶⠶⠖⢒⠒⢲⣀⡬⢭⡄⠤⠤⠮ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠿⠛⠻⢿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⡇⠀⠀⠉⢷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⡿⢿⣿⡗⠚⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡶⣤⣤⠤⣄⣤⣄⣀⡬⠅⠀⠀⠀ ⠆⠀⢀⠈⠉⠉⠙⠛⠒⠲⠦⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⠉⠛⢛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠽⢿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣭⢿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⡿⠿⣷⣿⣿⣯⢹⣿⢺⣟⠁⢭⣁⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠙⠁⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣠⣤⣤⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⠩⣍⡩⠭⠿⠿⠳⠽⠿⠿⠟⠛⠻⣿⠛⠿⡟⠛⠋⠛⠛⠋⠋⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠈⠉⠀⠤⠬⠔⠺⠒⠀⠀⠠⠤⠄⠶⠈⠁⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠟⠛⠉⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠍⢉⠉⠉⠜⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2580 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/09/04/Thieves_Complain_About_the_People_They_Steal_From.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/09/04/Thieves_Complain_About_the_People_They_Steal_From.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Thieves Complain About the People They Steal From⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 04, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Re_digitized_vintage_public_domain_illustration_of_a_black and_white_human_pointing_finger.⦈_ Crossposted_from_Tux_Machines "When you point the finger at someone, there are three fingers pointing back to you" This week Tux Machines was hammered by parasitic slop (LLM) bots, resulting in over a million requests per day. This is not_valuable_traffic, it's a_darn nuisance to everybody. It kills the planet (energy wasted, not just human labour). Tux Machines boycotts slop. It causes nothing but trouble, it's just low-grade plagiarism and a_pyramid_scheme,_too. The other day we linked to a post which contained what it called "Google AI" (basically plagiarism with mistakes added in). The (semi) author responded in LXer as follows: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Please, consult Google AI about content of the post. I also believe that TUX Machines is not the right place to evaluate the quality of post mentioned above. I may also confirm that Anaconda Blivet GUI power and flexibility are really amasing in mean time.⦈ This is classic blame-shifting. If you use slop, and then people call you out on it, don't moan about the people who call you out on it. Accept that LLMs are seen unfavourably for very good reasons. Quit using them. This is why we boycott Bobby Borisov for nearly a year already. There are some other authors we avoid as they became serial sloppers. The above is a phenomenon as old and same as ever: society needs to be criticised by some people, especially companies and rogue actors (e.g. Google's plagiarism services and people who use these). But they won't like it, they will find that 'upsetting'. They will attack the messenger. The role of the state is to protect the messenger. Instead, people who work_for slop_giants (they now hide the commercial affiliation) engage_in_lawfare against_us. █ ===============================================================================

"European_Patent_Office_(EPO)_Series" (shortened title). My wife and I went on vacation after lawfare and today, the first Friday of September, seems like the right time to resume EPO coverage. We are several weeks ahead of the Council's (AC) meeting that can give the boot (or competition) to António the_Unready. Will he have the same fate as his predecessors or will Europe fall asleep and fight back in a war on to fronts, outwards (Russia) and inwards (EPO dictatorship, the patent lawfare industry, the kangaroo courts they illegally_created, and the money they sent_to_Belarus along with EPO data)? The plan we have is to "Warm Up" readers over the coming week/weekend with some background information/refreshers, then illuminate recent actions, then resume an investigatory glance at EPO corruption and how it relates to various nations/governments across the continent, including the EU as an institution. Stay tuned for more. █ * Microsoft_Handing_Out_PIPs_by_the_Thousands,_Anxiety_in_GAFAM_Building_Up * SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_171_Out_of_200:_Talking_About_Corruption_and Violence_Against_Women ⡏⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⣉⣭⣭⣭⡉⠉⢩⣭⣭⣭⣍⡉⠉⠉⠉⢉⣩⣭⣭⣍⠉⠉⠉⣭⣭⡉⠉⠉⣩⣭⠉⣭⣭⡉⠉⠉⣩⣭⡍⢉⣭⣭⠉⠉⣉⣭⣭⣭⣉⠉⠉⣩⣍⣍⠉⠉⠉⣩⣍⡉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢹ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⠛⠛⢿⡿⠂⢸⣿⡟⠛⠻⣿⣧⠀⢰⣿⡿⠛⠛⢿⣷⡄⠀⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⣿⣿⠀⠘⣿⣷⡀⢠⣿⡟⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⡟⠛⠻⠟⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⣸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣇⣀⣠⣿⡟⠀⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⢸⣿⣧⠀⣿⣿⢿⣿⣄⣿⣿⠀⠀⠘⢿⣷⣿⡟⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠘⢿⣿⣶⣤⡀⠀⠀⣿⣿⢿⣷⣰⣿⠟⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣇⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⢸⣿⡟⠻⣿⣯⠀⠀⢿⣿⡄⠀⠀⣸⣿⡏⠀⣿⣿⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⡀⠈⠙⢿⣿⡆⠀⣿⡇⠘⣿⣿⡟⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣷⣾⣿⠟⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⠹⣿⣧⠀⠈⠻⣿⣷⣾⣿⠟⠁⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢐⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠺⣿⣷⣶⣿⠿⠁⢰⣿⡇⠀⠘⠛⠁⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⢷⣸⣰⠃⣇⣶⢸⣛⢸⣆⡇⠀⢻⡟⢸⣀⡇⣟⡃⠀⢰⣑⢸⣛⠀⡾⡄⢻⠛⠀⢸⠠⣟⡂⠀⢾⡑⠀⣾⡀⣆⡾⢸⣛⢸⡟⣆⠀⠀⣷⣸⢠⠏⡆⢻⠃⠀⣾⡃⢰⢧⢰⣟⡆⣷⣸⠀⣟⡃⡟⢦⠀⠀⢸ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠸⠇⠿⠀⠇⠿⠸⠤⠸⠘⠇⠀⠸⠇⠸⠀⠇⠷⠄⠀⠲⠼⠸⠧⠰⠓⠳⠸⠀⠀⠸⠐⠦⠇⠀⠲⠜⠸⠛⠇⠹⠃⠸⠤⠸⠷⠃⡆⠀⠇⠻⠘⠧⠃⠸⠀⠀⠿⠤⠞⠚⠾⠏⠆⠇⠹⠀⠧⠄⠧⠋⠀⠀⢸ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠁⣬⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⣮⣥⣀⣠⣾⣭⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⢁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣤⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠘⣣⣶⣶⣦⣴⣾⣶⣄⣲⣦⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠂⠀⢀⠐⢸⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢻⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠈⠉⠉⢻⣿⣋⣉⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣥⣿⣿⡿⢿⠛⣫⣿⣿⣿⣟⠫⠭⣿⡿⠛⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠇⠀⠀⠘⠀⠛⠉⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠈⠙⢿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣹⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣶⣼⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣶⣿⣶⡟⡭⠽⠙⣛⣿⣿⣿⢋⣍⡀⢒⠂⣠⣆⠀⡁⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⢸ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠘⠛⠛⣿⣷⣌⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⡿⠿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠀⣾⣗⣤⣷⣶⣿⣯⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⢬⠰⠃⢀⠀⠸⢿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢻⡟⠙⣿⣄⡀⠉⠤⣭⣿⣯⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠘⠿⣿⣿⣯⣛⣓⡀⠀⣚⣋⣻⢇⠀⠰⠃⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠘⠀⣶⣧⣤⣿⣾⣿⣿⣭⣭⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣦⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⢩⢕⣒⣪⣭⡻⠿⠿⠓⠁⠉⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⡘⣿⣿⣿⣟⡛⠛⣉⣴⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⢀⠀⠀⠉⠛⠛⠛⠟⣻⣿⣿⡿⡁⣮⠻⠎⠛⠛⠙⠛⠊⠓⠀⠀⣠⣄⠈⠙⠋⠋⠉⠉⠁⣴⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣯⣭⣽⣿⣷⣦⣴⣾⣿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣍⠹⢿⣻⣿⣿⢻ ⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢗⣤⠀⠀⡀⠠⠚⠉⠸⣿⡧⠙⠈⠁⠀⠢⠀⠂⠀⠁⠀⠒⠀⠀⠈⢸⡶⠄⠂⢶⣾⢣⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⡨⡙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⠿⠿⠿⠛⠁⢸ ⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡟⣠⠸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣃⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠇⠀⠀⠀⣶⠀⠀⣴⣭⣾⣿⢿⡇⣿⣿⡄⠀⣿⡟⣠⢙⣿⠿⠿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠔⣰⣿⠇⡆⢀⡁⢺ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⠇⣿⠀⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⣿⠀⠀⢿⢫⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣍⠻⡐⡟⣰⣿⢸⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣛⡛⡘⢃⢸⠏⢸ ⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢸⣿⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢱⢇⢣⠃⣾⠰⡍⢽⠩⠉⡟⡏⣻⢛⢻⡿⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⣶⣶⡶⡤⢶⣿⣿⣷⡁⠁⠉⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⡉⠁⠁⠈⠛⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣾⣼⣬⣯⣣⣑⣋⣆⣇⣱⠃⢾⢘⣼⡇⠀⡿⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⡇⠾⣛⣿⣿⣿⣷⢹⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⢀⡇⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣷⡘⠿⠛⠿⣿⠏⡾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⢸ ⣿⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⣀⠀⠀⠈⢛⣭⡺⣿⣿⣷⡆⠘⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣿⣿⡿⠂⠀⠀⠂⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣆⠈⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢰⢟⣯⣽⣷⣶⣦⠹⣿⣼⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⣼ ⣿⣧⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠄⠟⣵⠞⠿⠿⠛⠁⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹ ⣿⣿⢠⣭⣭⣭⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠘⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿ ⣿⡿⣸⢟⡿⡿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⣿⣬⣑⠛⠕⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿ ⡿⠿⠿⠷⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣶⣶⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⡄⠒⠛⠻⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⢽⣸⡯⠅⡞⢙⢀⡿⣇⣿⢸⡗⢯⣗⣿⠭⠀⢻⣴⣾⣿⢼⣧⡏⢳⠀⣿⣼⣿⡯⠅⣿⠭⢸⡏⣧⠾⣽⡀⣿⣶⣿⢸⠭⢹⣏⡷⢸⠈⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠈⠉⠁⠉⠉⠈⠉⠉⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠈⠉⠁⠉⠈⠁⠉⠉⠀⠉⠈⠉⠉⠁⠉⠉⠈⠉⠁⠉⠉⠀⠉⠀⠉⠈⠉⠉⠁⠉⠈⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡄⣀⣤⡄⣤⢠⠤⢤⣄⣤⠀⣄⣠⢠⡤⡄⣄⢠⡄⢠⢠⡄⢠⡄⢠⡀⡄⣤⠤⠀⣤⣀⣤⢀⣤⠠⢤⠤⣤⠤⢠⠤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠿⠹⠏⠿⠸⠭⠼⠟⠿⠀⠸⠇⠸⠤⠇⠿⠼⠃⠸⠹⠧⠿⠿⠈⠿⠁⠿⠭⠀⠿⠛⠿⠼⠿⠆⠸⠀⠿⠭⠨⠽⠇⠠⠤⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2800 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/09/04/We_ll_Never_Do_Slop.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/09/04/We_ll_Never_Do_Slop.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ We'll Never Do Slop!⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 04, 2026 LibreOffice says_that_"no_AI_is_now_a_feature" and we_agree, except we should stop calling it "AI".

It culls slop-infused sites (or slopfarms), it only issues original material, and so on. Being against slop is not being "left behind".

Now something has indeed shifted in the air, since little campsite left us. Was there something I didn't notice? # ⚓ Forgotten_Realms_Avatar_Series⠀⇛ In an attempt to become more familiar with the lore of the Forgotten Realms, I chose the Avatar series as a starting point. These are my thoughts about this series, and they will contain spoilers. If you haven't read the books, you might want to stop reading right now. The original three books take place during the Time of Troubles. When somebody steals the Tablets of Fate, Lord Ao, the uber-god of the Faerûnian pantheon, casts the gods off to the mortal realm until they find the Tablets and return them to him. With the gods unable to fulfill their usual duties, the Time of Troubles starts: clerics can't access their gods' favors; magic becomes instable; strange natural cataclysms and supernatural phenomena plague the land. The plot revolves around four adventurers, Midnight, Kelemvor, Adon, and Cyric. The heroes try to help Mystra, Goddess of Magic, retrieve the Tablets of Fate and overcome the evil machinations of Bane, God of Strife, Bhaal, God of Murder, and Myrkul, God of Death. Eventually, Mystra, Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul perish when their mortal avatars are destroyed. Midnight and Cyric return the Tablets of Fate to Ao and ascend to godhood. As a recompense for their efforts, Midnight becomes the new Goddess of Magic and Cyric assumes the combined powers of the Gods of Strife, Murder, and Death. Kelemvor dies, too, but, helped by Mask, God of Thieves, he hides as an immortal soul in the Realm of the Dead, right under Cyric's nose. The only surviving member of the party, Adon, becomes the Patriarch of the new Goddess of Magic. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Quantum_Tunneling_Transistors_Could_Deliver_a_Big_Boost_to Energy_Efficiency_in_Microchips⠀⇛ Researchers from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the National University of Singapore, the Singapore University of Technology and Design, and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have developed a quantum-effect tunneling field-effect transistor that, they say, could deliver dramatic gains in energy efficiency for future electronics — beyond the so-called Boltzmann limit. "By adopting quantum tunnelling, our TFET breaks through this boundary," joint project lead Jianhua Hao, head of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University's physics and materials department, of the Boltzmann limit, "paving the way for ultra-low-power, high- performance integrated circuits essential for emerging AI chips and advanced semiconductor applications." # ⚓ Your_project_needs_a_code_of_ethics,_not_conduct⠀⇛ Unfortunately, there basically isn't a mature operating system that satisfies both these criteria. 9front is probably the closest. It's not entirely clear if 9front has a meaningful code of conduct because everything you can learn about the project online is told only in riddles, but in general I get the impression that the people in the 9front community are safe. At the same time, I realize these two criteria feel a bit disjointed. I feel that even if I did find a community that satisfied them, there may be something in the future I can't account for. Ideally the second point should flow from the first. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ On_AI_Infiltrating_the_Smolnet⠀⇛ I read a post by sava.rocks [0] and various replies on the geminispace BBS [1] about AI agents grabbing content from gopher and gemini using an MCP server developed last year. It really was just a matter of time before they infiltrated the smolnet. The developer of the MCP server in question ('gopher-mcp'), has changed the code to honour robots.txt, and added some rate limiting. Better than nothing, I suppose. Meanwhile, a user on the SDF bboard posted a sensible, anti-AI robots.txt for gopher (it should work for gemini as well). =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Sometimes it's just a nagging, background annoyance, but on other occasions it escalates to a crippling, stultifying anxiety. I'm ashamed to say that I sometimes berate my family and friends because they don't worry when I feel they should. I just can't help thinking that I worry such a lot because I'm doing everybody else's worrying for them. People, I feel, just _don't worry enough_. Like most parents and grandparents, I worry most about the safety and security of my family. What's different, it seems to me, is the length I'm willing to go to, to mitigate every conceivable risk. Let me give you an example. # ⚓ forced_samadhi⠀⇛ The integration is hard. I don't feel good, and it's not even a substance 'down' of any kind. My soul, my mind my emotions are re-balancing slowly. I'm glad my body is doing well... Samadhi is a traumatic experience. They don't tell you that when you start meditation. Samadhi is the goal, oh and by the way, you'll be traumatized for somewhere between a few months to a lifetime, or maybe multiple lifetimes. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ ROOPHLOCH_hackathon⠀⇛ A guest is visiting this weekend to teach me about the networking approach I'm curious about for replicating packet-radio BBS in today's world. The keywords are LoRa, RNode, and Reticulum. We're going to try to get something working at least good enough for me to post something to Gopher a half-mile from an internet access point, and maybe manage routing serial over Reticulum before she leaves. She arrives sometime Saturday and leaves Monday. If you'd like to join us as we play with weird network- ing, I suspect we'll be at it Saturday 1000-1300 UTC, Sunday 0800-late UTC and maybe Monday morning. # ⚓ Summer_of_upgrades_(Epilogue:_Fell_for_it_again)⠀⇛ If you read my previous "Summer of upgrades" gemlogs you might reminder "Never underestimate the power of having no plan at all". Well I clearly underestimated that one! Here is quick runup of the recent changes in my homelab. # ⚓ To_My_Students⠀⇛ A little while ago, one of my colleagues sent me this. It's a thoughtful piece by a Computer Science professor, writing to his students about the new tech world of scarce junior jobs, about the devaluing of expertise as workers are told by their companies to go all-in on AI. We spend years in school learning how to program, how to debug; and it's a lifelong skill, one that you develop and refine. Or at least, that's how it was for me. I'm in my mid 40s; I can see that things are changing; but I wonder, for how long? Anyone can vibe code an app, but what happens when that app becomes used, becomes critical, and then nobody understands how it actually works, because nobody actually wrote it? That's the world we're getting into, one in which the tech industry is trying to railroad one particular piece of tech into our lives. And while I hope I can hold out, being in a niche industry whose code is much, much more complicated than "I need a Python script that...", I can still see how things are being remade around me. # ⚓ Arduino's_Long_Move_Away_From_Arm's_MbedOS_Culminates_in the_Zephyr_RTOS_Core's_1.0.0_Release⠀⇛ Arduino's Zephyr real-time operating system (RTOS) core for its microcontrollers has hit the milestone of a formal 1.0.0 release, a little over a month after the company announced it was leaving beta status with version 0.9.0. "We're excited to announce version 1.0.0 of the ArduinoCore-Zephyr, our biggest release yet," the Arduino team says of the new release. "Building on the stability milestone we hit with 0.90.0, this release brings new hardware support, an updated Zephyr base, and a long list of fixes and improvements across the core. Thank you to everyone who tested 0.90.0, filed issues, and helped us get here. This one's for the community." # ⚓ Luser_storage_issue_delayed_my_dinner...⠀⇛ It was already one of those days where I was basically a cluster fire fighter - putting out small fires all over the system. Normally, that's a minor annoyance of being a systems administrator, it actually does come with the territory. Yesterday, was different though. My son and I were on campus at 06:30 and began working immediately! We worked until 14:20 or so, and ate our lunches on the way home; side note, we call them "car lunches", which is fitting. Once we arrived at home, it seemed like it was going to be a rather relaxing evening. I helped prepare dinner for the family, and was ready to hear about my daughter's day while we were eating. My son picked-up an extra shift at his other job, so I said I'd drop him off. I came back hungry as a mofo and then _it happened_. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Re:_Missing⠀⇛ Has something changed in the air at smol.pub? I'm too new to notice, but I miss littlecampsite, too. It reminds me that online community can be very real, but it it is also very fragile. Almost by definition, people are bound to come and go and the reasons for the coming and going aren't necessarily public. (Nor should they be). The best we can do is try to build a culture of openness and welcome. I think I found that here. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Before it is an opportunity to govern one of the most disruptive technologies in history: AI. Yet the manner in which Hey Hi (AI) is currently being approached risks cementing this technology as an obstacle – one that obstructs the functioning of a fair, just and prosperous society. # ⚓ OpenRightsGroup ☛ ORG_and_MPs_call_for_public_sector use_of_Hey_Hi_(AI)_to_be_regulated⠀⇛ The report finds that the UK’s adoption of Hey Hi (AI) is a key part of state strategy that appears to be principally motivated by improving economic performance and bolstering innovation.

Because of their support for Ukraine, which became central after Donald Trump's United States refused to come to the aid of an invaded nation fighting bravely for its freedom, European countries have become targets of an expanded theater of war orchestrated by Russian leader Vladimir Putin. This point should silence those voices across Europe that continue to claim that the Russian president remains a negotiating partner willing to find a way out of the war he brought upon his country. Trapped in a conventional conflict he has so far proved unable to win, Putin has never considered anything but the subjugation of Kyiv, a goal that has led him to the current escalation. * § Environment⠀➾ o ⚓ Futurism ☛ United_Nations_Concedes_That_Efforts_to_Arrest_Climate Change_Have_Failed,_and_the_Planet_Is_Now_Spiraling_Into Environmental_Catastrophe⠀⇛ We now need to "face the inevitability of exceeding global warming of 1.5 degrees Celsius." o ⚓ JURIST ☛ UN_raises_concern_for_women_and_girls_amid_mounting death_toll_in_Nepal_floods⠀⇛ The United Nations stated Tuesday that Nepal’s catastrophic flash floods had killed more than 1,000 people, while thousands remain missing.

That was the main question confronting the Enlarged Board of Appeal under its president Carl Josefsson in opposition proceedings between Knauf Insulation and Rockwool. o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ South_Korean_Prosecutors_Push_for Indictment_of_BTS_Founder_Bang_Si-Hyuk_Over_Allegations_of Fraud⠀⇛ South Korean authorities are seeking an indictment of Bang Si-Hyuk, K-pop music mogul and founder and chairman of Hybe, over alleged investor fraud. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ 'I've_Never_Seen_Taylor Swift_Do_This':_Olivia_Rodrigo_Accused_of_Refusing_Photo_With Israeli_Fan⠀⇛ Olivia Rodrigo is accused of refusing a photo with a fan from Israel, but viral footage does not establish that nationality was the reason * Gemini_Links_04/09/2026:_Worries,_Upgrades,_and_CS_Students * The_Legal_Services_Board_(LSB)_Takes_on_Solicitors_Regulation_Authority_ (SRA)_for_Utter_Failures,_We'll_Resume_Our_SRA_Series_to_Illuminate_How Bad_the_SRA_Really_Is ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4355 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Links 04/09/2026: "The Rise of the Billionaire Lobby", the "Imperialist Delusions", and Digital Restrictions (DRM) From Nvidia⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 04, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇The $610 Billion AI Ponzi Scheme will collapse ⦈ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇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 Freedom_of_Information_/_Freedom_of_the_Press o Civil_Rights_/_Policing_/_Accessibility o Internet_Policy/Net_Neutrality o Digital_Restrictions_(DRM) o Monopolies/Monopsonies # Copyrights * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Troy Patterson ☛ Papa_Was_A_Rolling_Stone⠀⇛ Just a quick reminder that today is “Papa Was A Rolling Stone” Day. o ⚓ Robert Birming ☛ Do_your_worst⠀⇛ Stay grounded. Write your way. o ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ Can_We_Stop_With_the_Uptime_Percentages?⠀⇛ Then I have to remind myself of Jason’s point and re- interpret the numbers, which is more like reading earthquake measurements. The difference between a 6.2 and a 7.8 might not seem that big, but it represents a massive difference in magnitude. Uptime percentages have a similar problem: 99.9% and 99.99% look pretty much the same, but the latter is 10× less! Infrastructure people understand this. They even have a shorthand for it: two nines, three nines, four nines. They intuitively grasp the difference because they swim in these numbers every day. o ⚓ James G ☛ Your_tiny_Gallery_Guide_(a_zine)_-_with_words,_wonder⠀⇛ Yesterday, I decided to make a zine in a similar vein, except with some of my own tips for exploring galleries. In the process of making this zine, I realised that I may one day want to write another version that is more edited. There may even be space for me to make multiple zines: one for admiring the architecture of and spaces in galleries, and another for visually analysing paintings, another for analysing statues, and more. 1 o ⚓ James G ☛ this_is_me_trying_(to_make_a_zine)_-_with_words, wonder⠀⇛ After the IndieWeb Zine Pop Up in May, I decided that I wanted to make a zine. I had already made a zine before, Quiet Edinburgh, but the zine was more of a booklet. After the meetup, I started feeling inspired. I wanted to make a tiny paper zine, one that I could fit in my pocket. The idea lay in the back of my mind for a few months. Occasionally, I would think to myself I should make a zine. o ⚓ Dan Q ☛ Why_I_Stopped_“Creating_Content”⠀⇛ The point is: ‘content‘ have become a catch-all term so broad as to be meaningless. A tweet is content. A Netflix series is content. Everything in-between that is passively or mostly-passsively consumed is content, whether it’s AI-slop music or template-driven memes. And content exists to trigger engagement and drive traffic and oh shit now we’re down a rabbithole of meaningless SEO jargon. o § Science / Mathematics / Computer Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Ryan Gibb ☛ The_Package_Calculus⠀⇛ Package managers are numerous and diverse, yet all fundamentally solve the same problem, while remaining ad hoc and non-interoperable. This fragmentation prevents multilingual projects from expressing precise dependencies across language ecosystems; it leaves external system and hardware dependencies implicit and unversioned; it obscures security vulnerabilities that lie in the full dependency graph. In our paper Package Managers à la Carte we present the Package Calculus: a framework to understand and reason about package managers in their commonality and diversity. # ⚓ Jasper Tandy ☛ Maths⠀⇛ Seems perfectly reasonable. Then I tried to think about how you'd photograph a guitar from all the angles needed for a guitar to be have like a 3D object. It's not even really the number of images, as much as it is trying to stage the guitar so that you get all the angles in a consistent way. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ RIPE ☛ Bridging_the_Gap_Between_Theory_and_Practice_in Internet_Operations⠀⇛ Some of the most valuable conversations at RIPE Meetings happen when research meets operational problems. Questions from the network community open up new avenues of investigation for researchers, and researchers in turn share findings that help network operators better understand the networks they run. RIPE Meetings already bring these groups together around the shared interest of understanding how Internet infrastructure behaves in the real world. In that setting, researchers get to hear more about operational experience, technical challenges and potential sources of data, while operators can pose questions to researchers that they might not have the time or resources to explore for themselves. But a lot of this collaboration depends on chance encounters rather than deliberate planning. So the question we want to look at is: how can we make it easier for researchers and operators to find each other, identify questions of mutual interest, and turn promising conversations at RIPE Meetings into collaborations that continue beyond them? o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ [Repeat] Tom's Hardware ☛ AI_data_center_investment projected_to_hit_$32_trillion_by_2050_—_infrastructure spending_estimated_to_exceed_capital_requirements_for railways,_electrification,_or_the_[Internet]⠀⇛ PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) estimates that spending on AI data centers could reach as much as $31.6 trillion in the next decade and a half, with optimistic outlooks suggesting that capital expenditure could potentially hit $50 trillion. Bloomberg reports that this amount exceeds the spending that railways, electrification, or the [Internet] required when they were being set up for the first time. It also pointed out that investments in AI data center infrastructure aren’t a one-time expense that would last decades, unlike railroad networks, the power grid, or fiber optic cables — instead, data center operators are expected to purchase new GPUs and related infrastructure every four to six years. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Techie_creates_a_database_of_coil-whining graphics_cards,_power_supplies,_and_liquid_cooler_pumps_— open-source_project_wants_community_reports_of_affected parts⠀⇛ Most of us who build our own PCs have at some point experienced this: you install a new graphics card, fire up your favorite game that now runs faster, and you're greeted by this weird buzzing noise. That's called "coil whine," and while it's most prevalent in graphics cards, it can also affect power supplies, AIO cooler pumps, and many other electronics. Buying pricier gear is no guarantee it won't be affected, too, which is probably why Lowell K. Wood IV (aka iBlessi) of TechFuelHQ created a community-powered database of coil- whining parts. # ⚓ Digital Camera World ☛ With_eyes_on_stalks,_this_ingenious camera_lighting_device_is_an_affordable_friend_for_macro photography_and_bug_hunters⠀⇛ The LED panels are powered by an integral 3300mAh lithium-ion battery, which is said to give over three hours of running time at 100% brightness. This is recharged via a USB-C connector, which takes 2 hours and 20 minutes to recharge. The panels offer a color range from 2800-6500K. # ⚓ Matt Birchler ☛ NVIDIA_is_doing_the_iPhone_thing⠀⇛ It is fascinating to see this phenomenon happening again. Years ago, Apple's iPhone revenue wasn't so much based on how much demand there was in the market, it was literally how many iPhones they could manufacture. Today, NVIDIA is in the exact same spot. Their hardware revenue is capped at how much they can build, not how much people will buy. Technically, that's a business problem, but it's the sort of problem you're lucky to have. # ⚓ David L Farquhar ☛ Commodore_64_released_September_1, 1982⠀⇛ On September 1, 1982, the Commodore 64 launched. Its name referred to the amount of memory it had on board: 64 kilobytes. And it was the first computer with 64K of memory to sell for under $600. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Derek Sivers ☛ Bangalore_India_hospital_flow⠀⇛ At the Indian hospital, when I tried to book an appointment in advance, they were confused. “Just come in”, they said. I tried to explain that I’m coming from abroad for this major surgery and can’t stay for long, but their answer was the same. “Just come in.” So I flew there with no appointment. The top specialists - some of the best in the world - are available within hours. I showed up at 7am and made appointments to see four specialists at 8, 9, 10, and 11. # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ UK_AI_medical_transcription_is_dangerous_and doesn’t_work⠀⇛ Why are doctors even using these things? Mostly, it’s massive NHS pressure. The doctors are flat out just keeping up, and it’s cheaper than hiring people. Doctors can see more patients, faster! Quality is not a metric here. Checking the transcript for more than a second never happens, because the excuse for the AI is the doctors don’t have the time in the first place. o § Proprietary / Vendor Lock-in / Malware⠀➾ # ⚓ Crooked Timber ☛ Don’t_use_a_gmail.com_address⠀⇛ We are being flooded with spam coming from fake gmail.com addresses at the moment. So, for the moment, I’ve set our spam filter to delete everything from gmail.com # ⚓ [Old] Ben Johnston ☛ R_For_SEO_Part_5:_Common_Excel Formulas_In_R⠀⇛ Welcome back. It’s part 5 of my R for SEO series and I hope you’re all finding it useful so far. Up to now, we’ve covered the basics, using packages and Google Analytics & Search Console, data visualisation with GGPlot2 and wordcloud and in our last piece, we looked at R functions for SEO. Now let’s start seeing how the power of R can help us replicate the common Excel formulas we use in our day-to-day, but faster and on larger datasets. # § So-Called 'Artificial Intelligence' ('AI') / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ These_Russian_Mathematicians_Taught_AI_Models How_to_Talk_to_Each_Other_Without_Using_Words⠀⇛ The startup used the approach to build a model that has rocketed to the top of ARC-AGI 3, a notoriously difficult competition for AI models. (They wouldn’t tell me more because they want to win the contest.) To demonstrate the idea, however, they also created a bridge between two Chinese open-weight models: the largest version of GLM-5.2, which has 753 billion parameters; and a 4-billion-parameter version of Qwen-3.5 that can run on a mobile device. The resulting hybrid system costs one-twentieth of the full GLM model, and its performance is exactly halfway between the two. # ⚓ Framework Computer BV ☛ Choosing_a_Framework_Desktop for_Local_AI:_32GB,_64GB,_and_128GB⠀⇛ Fast forward to September 2026, and memory supply constraints across the industry have pushed up prices, including for the Framework Desktop. Fortunately, this has coincided with the release of new, smaller open-weight models that are well suited to the 32GB and 64GB configurations, making the less expensive versions more capable and helping to offset the impact of higher memory prices. The new Qwen3.8-27B can run within 32GB with a suitable quantization, while models such as Qwen Image and MiniMax-H3 bring image, video, and audio generation within reach on the same configuration. # ⚓ Jeff Kaufman ☛ Personal_Effort_to_Reduce_Biorisk⠀⇛ I'm pretty worried about how AI might change the world a lot very soon. In some of these cases things go very wrong very quickly, in others things go very right very quickly, but I'm increasingly (relative to 2024) expecting a messy middle path where, whether we end up with a good or bad outcome, things might get weird for a while. Our supply chains are fragile, fulfilment is largely just-in-time, and if we'll suddenly need way more of some things they might not be available. Thinking a lot about biosecurity for my day job, I'm especially worried about how people, AIs, or some combination might release something to spread through the population. # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Congressman_says_TikTok_backed_out_of_a meeting_to_avoid_child_safety_questions⠀⇛ After negotiating “in good faith” to bring TikTok’s chief security officer before the House Select Committee on China to answer questions about Chinese government access to Americans’ data and the TikTok algorithm, Chair John Moolenaar (R-MI) said in a statement Thursday that the company reversed course. “Now, TikTok is refusing to appear citing its own desire to avoid broader scrutiny of its child safety practices,” Moolenaar wrote. TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment. # ⚓ Marty Day ☛ Proof_Reddit_Isn’t_Always_Terrible:_Wile E._Coyote’s_AMA⠀⇛ What made this particularly great though? Like Mr. Coyote traditionally communicates, every one of his answers was via a hand-held sign. # ⚓ Lee Peterson ☛ Where_do_I_share_my_photography?_- LJPUK⠀⇛ I really enjoy any sort of photography, if you have read my blog for a while you will probably know this already. I don’t mind which camera I have on me I’m always on the hunt for a nice photo or interesting angle to take. What I’ve found over the years of using different services is that I have really settled into three places # § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Manchester_Airports_Group_Data_on_8.8 Million_People_Leaked_After_Ransom_Refusal⠀⇛ The airport operator disclosed that hackers had exfiltrated email addresses, phone numbers, vehicle registrations, and postcodes, noting that its operations were not affected by the incident. MAG confirmed that the stolen information was stored in a database hosted by a third party and that it received a ransom demand from the attackers, but refrained from sharing further details on the matter. o § Security⠀➾ # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ APNIC ☛ What_part_of_'No!'_is_so_hard_for_the_DNS understand?⠀⇛ One effective form of attack on the Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure, including the root servers, is the so-called ‘random name attack’. If you want to target the online availability of a particular domain name, then a random name attack will attempt to saturate the domain name’s authoritative nameserver (or servers) with queries to resolve names in that zone. That can put the server (or servers) under such a level of load that ‘legitimate’ queries are no longer answered. The result is that the name goes dark and the denial-of-service attack is successful. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ The Record ☛ Health_data_of_more_than_9.5_million people_leaked_from_Aesto_record_system⠀⇛ Aesto provides data migration and archiving services to medical facilities upgrading their technology or switching electronic health record vendors and supports healthcare groups purchased by other companies. At least 30 healthcare organizations were affected by the Aesto breach. Aesto filed breach notices in several states on behalf of its customers, including Together Women's Health in Texas and California. # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ Flock_Taught_Cops_How_to_Surveil_No_Kings Protesters⠀⇛ In the webinar, Flock’s director of market management Caity Peak explains how real time crime centers — which are police surveillance centers that utilize Flock cameras and other surveillance cameras — can be used for emergency response, but can also be used to surveil “established events” like 4th of July fireworks displays, parades, bike races, Mardi Gras, and protests. The webinar shows just how routine the idea of always-on surveillance has become, and how casually it is used during extremely innocuous events. # ⚓ Wired ☛ This_Is_Flock’s_AI_Search_Tool_for_Cops⠀⇛ WIRED rebuilt Flock’s latest search tool from code the company sends to a police officer’s browser. Its AI can keep watch across multiple cameras for anyone fitting a written description. # ⚓ PC World ☛ Microsoft_OneDrive_wants_to_back_up everything._You_don’t_have_to_let_it⠀⇛ Windows Latest is getting credit for noticing that Windows is apparently allowing you to opt out of Windows Backup by way of OneDrive as part of the out-of-the-box (OOBE) process of setting up a new PC. Previously Windows simply kicked that decision down the road for a period of three days; now, you can opt out forever. # § Confidentiality⠀➾ # ⚓ Tor ☛ [tor-dev]_Upcoming_C-tor_security_release_- 0.4.9.12_-_tor-dev_-_Tor_Project_Forum⠀⇛ Next Tuesday, September 8th, we will do a C- tor release (0.4.9.12) containing fixes for a set of high severity issues. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ The_Rise_of_the_Billionaire_Lobby⠀⇛ California’s Proposition 40 would tax roughly 200 billionaires to fund health care for millions. Google cofounder Sergey Brin and friends have responded by inventing a new kind of pressure group: a lobby whose only client is the billionaire class itself. # ⚓ The Record ☛ New_pro-Ukraine_hacker_group_targets_Russian companies_with_custom_ransomware⠀⇛ The group, which calls itself VantaCore, has targeted at least seven known victims, Russian cybersecurity firm F6 said in a report published this week. Researchers first detected its activity in August, although the group's data-leak website appears to have been created in early June. # ⚓ Paul Krugman ☛ Imperialist_Delusions_and_the_Price_of Fuel⠀⇛ Notice, also, that Bessent didn’t point out that these attacks on Russian oil would end if Russia were to end its attempted war of conquest. But far from demanding an end to Russian aggression, the Trump administration infuriated the democratic nations of Europe by inviting Russia’s finance minister, for the first time since the Ukraine war began, to Monday’s meeting of the Group of 20 major economies. But wait: There’s more background here. Bessent, as much as or more than Trump, has been effectively an enemy of Ukraine from the beginning. # ⚓ Karl Bode ☛ Never_Forget_How_Eagerly_Apple_And_Google Coddled_Fascism⠀⇛ The US slide into autocracy has been enabled at every step by pathetic tech executives that enthusiastically embraced a complete lack of ethics. # ⚓ The Next Move ☛ Russia_Is_at_War_With_the_West._Don’t_Call It_‘Hybrid.’⠀⇛ If Russia attacks Europe, and Europe doesn’t call it war, is it actually a war? As the Kremlin continues to probe the West’s defenses, it’s clear that European leaders would prefer you call it “hybrid war,” hoping that the focus stays on the “hybrid” half of the equation and not on the “war.” Last month, Russia carried out a drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport in Germany. One UAV was discovered before its payload could be detonated; a second collided with a cargo plane. # ⚓ Crooked Timber ☛ The_US_Navy_loses_another_war⠀⇛ … but that won’t change any minds # ⚓ Le Monde ☛ Leaked_Spanish_report_claims_'total permissiveness'_of_Morocco_over_Ceuta_crisis⠀⇛ A leaked report alleges some Moroccan police officers guided crossings into the Spanish enclave, undermining Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's insistance Rabat did not orchestrate the crisis. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ The_2026_El_Niño_Is_Being_‘Supersized’_as_Impacts Worsen⠀⇛ The World Meteorological Organization is warning that the climate phenomenon that has the Pacific running a fever will last until at least February, with dire consequences for weather worldwide. # ⚓ Inside Towers ☛ Midterm_Candidates_Rethink_Data_Centers_as Opposition_Grows⠀⇛ The shift follows growing public resistance to data centers in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. Residents and opponents have raised concerns about higher electricity costs, environmental impacts, water use, and the broader expansion of AI. Shapiro said conversations with Pennsylvania residents influenced his changing position, while legislative gridlock prevented lawmakers from passing new regulations. Democrats and Republicans both are recalibrating on data center development as opposition has grown across the midterm landscape. In New York, Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul signed a moratorium on data center development this summer, while in Texas, Republican Governor Greg Abbott paused data center projects pending an audit, Inside Towers reported. # ⚓ Kelly Hayes ☛ Organizing_for_Survival_in_an_Era_of_Climate Chaos⠀⇛ Our current infrastructure was built for a world that no longer exists. How do we build the power to survive when the systems we depend on fail us? In this episode of Movement Memos, I talk with Keyante Aytch, Alice Liu, and Brandon Bunt about the tools and relationships that can help make communities resilient — from mesh networks and off-grid solar to neighborhood disaster hubs. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ How_To_Avoid_Getting_Arc_Flashed⠀⇛ Despite being a professionally trained and certified professional, being called out to diagnose a weird issue on a slightly unusual solar farm’s electrical installation already worked against him. After having spent some time doing said troubleshooting, he finally tracked down the auxiliary transformer that normally powers the low-voltage gear, along with the spicy parts that should absolutely be unpowered after flipping the breaker into the ‘off’ position. Testing for no power confirmed that the power had indeed been cut, which was when the wiring that normally connects the auxiliary transformer was spotted still lying just out of reach in the back of the cabinet. Clearly this was the cause behind one of the issues that the owner had been having. # ⚓ Jamie Zawinski ☛ I_pay_my_parking_tickets_like_any other_Corporate_Person:_a_million_dollars_at_a_time.⠀⇛ I was gonna make a joke about how many parking tickets you thought a regular meatsack Non-Corporate person could get and still keep their license, but it turns out that the answer is infinitely many as long as you pay them. # ⚓ Gazetteer, San Francisco, California ☛ Waymo_has_been slapped_with_more_than_8,300_parking_tickets_since January_2025⠀⇛ New SFMTA data obtained by Gazetteer SF shows that Waymo vehicles got hit with 4,178 parking tickets in 2025, and is set to blow by that figure in 2026, with 4,131 infractions through July 19. On average, Waymo has received more than 106 parking tickets a week in that time period. This is a major rise in infractions since 2024, coinciding with a surge in overall Waymo usage in San Francisco. Waymo received 589 parking tickets in 2024 with a total fine of $65,065, according to a 2025 Washington Post analysis. That dollar amount looks paltry today: From January 2025 through July 17 this year, Waymo racked up $957,008 in fines. # ⚓ Avi Loeb ☛ Detectable_Flashes_from_Light-Sail Transport_Systems_Between_Habitable_Exoplanets⠀⇛ The primary challenge of rocket propulsion is the burden of needing to accelerate the spacecraft’s own fuel, resulting in only a logarithmic gain in maximum speed as propellant is added to the spacecraft. Light sails offer an attractive alternative in which fuel is not carried by the spacecraft, with acceleration being provided by an external source of light. By artificially illuminating the spacecraft with beamed radiation, speeds are only limited by the area of the sail, heat resistance of its material, and power use of the accelerating apparatus. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_AI_Trade_is_a_Psyop⠀⇛ A psychological operation is a coordinated effort by an interested party to move a target audience toward a specific belief by supplying that audience with framed information at scale. What has been running on the tech beat for the last eighteen months meets every element of that definition. The operator is the consortium of frontier labs and their investors. The target audience is the pool of people whose confidence in imminent artificial general intelligence supports the equity price. The framed information is a weekly cycle of papers, blog posts, and reporter briefings describing frozen token-prediction systems as agents that scheme, blackmail, and resist shutdown. The interest being served is a valuation the underlying engineering does not otherwise justify, and a regulatory posture that would make the incumbents’ position permanent. Say it plainly and it stops sounding like a conspiracy theory and starts sounding like what it is, which is a marketing campaign. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ Nobody_Is_Saying_Why_OpenAI_and_Anthropic_Had Outages_Today⠀⇛ Frontier models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI all experienced rare outages on Thursday morning, creating downtime for their corresponding AI chatbots. SpaceX, xAI’s parent company, said on Thursday afternoon that the issues with Grok resulted from “an outage at our Memphis compute center this morning.” # ⚓ Wired ☛ OpenAI_Cut_Off_a_Billion-Dollar_Customer_to_Avoid Elon_Musk⠀⇛ OpenAI recently estimated its Cursor partnership would make more than $1 billion in revenue a year, WIRED has learned. It still walked away after Elon Musk’s SpaceX acquired the AI coding startup. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ The_NBA_explains_Steve_Ballmer’s_jumbotron corruption_scandal⠀⇛ Last September, Steve Ballmer insisted in an ESPN interview that the Clippers weren’t involved in a shady-looking $28 million endorsement deal for his star player, Kawhi Leonard, that involved no actual endorsing. Now, the former Microsoft CEO has been suspended by the NBA for a year, while the league says his team will forfeit five future draft picks and pay a $30 million fine, among other penalties. # ⚓ Robert Reich ☛ It’s_Not_Age⠀⇛ The big takeaway from this primary season isn’t one of “generational change.” It’s the growing power of progressives, along with voters’ increasing suspicion of giant corporations, Big Tech, and the billionaire class. # ⚓ Jérôme Marin ☛ GoPro_sold_at_a_bargain_price_after_years_of decline⠀⇛ The deal is worth $285 million, more than twice GoPro’s market capitalization. The sum nevertheless remains a fraction of the heights the company once reached. In 2015, one year after going public, GoPro was valued at $12 billion. Since then, it has endured a long and painful decline, marked by plunging sales and wave after wave of layoffs. Its new owner plans to leverage GoPro’s “leading expertise in optics and its intellectual property” to target the AI and defense markets. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ CPJ ☛ Neither_free_nor_imprisoned:_Tunisia’s_journalists_in legal_limbo⠀⇛ In Tunisia, at least four journalists and commentators sentenced to prison over the last year remain free, trying to work and carry on with their daily lives while knowing they could be arrested and taken into custody. Two others are in exile, unable to return home without risking imprisonment. Whether they will eventually be forced to join three other journalists who are currently behind bars in Tunisia — Zied el-Heni, Mourad Zghidi, and Borhen Bsaies — remains unclear. o § Civil Rights / Policing / Accessibility⠀➾ # ⚓ Wired ☛ Wikipedia_Workers_Unionize_for_the_First_Time⠀⇛ More than 200 staffers at the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit behind the encyclopedia Wikipedia, have voted 158-14 to join the Communications Workers of America labor union. The US National Labor Relations Board counted ballots on Thursday. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ A_Twenty-Year-Old_is_Dead_Because_the_United States_Government_Put_a_Monitor_on_His_Leg⠀⇛ It was too heavy to play soccer in. It restricted him to a seventy-five-mile radius. It was visible under his clothes. When his JROTC unit distributed uniforms, Pierre did not receive one, and his father believes the omission was because of the device on his leg. Classmates saw it and taunted him. On Instagram in late July, before he died, Pierre wrote: “I came to this country to pursue my education. I didn’t come here to commit a crime or hurt anyone. Yet now I’m walking through the streets of the United States with a GPS monitor on my leg, carrying a feeling of shame and humiliation that I never imagined I would experience.” His father said Pierre felt like he was treated like an animal. # ⚓ NPR ☛ Gloria_Steinem,_trailblazing_journalist_and_activist, dies_at_92⠀⇛ Starting in the 1960s, at a time when women were largely limited to domestic roles, Steinem challenged gender stereotypes and championed feminist ideals like equality, sisterhood and reproductive freedom. In doing so, she inspired generations of women to do the same. Today, she's a household name that is synonymous with the women's rights movement. # ⚓ BoingBoing ☛ Consumer_Rights_Wiki_tracks_every_shady_and sketchy_trick_they_pull⠀⇛ The Consumer Rights Wiki documents anti-ownership and anti-consumer shenanigans ranging from planned obsolescence to subscription traps, with every shady and sketchy practice in between. Right-to- repair restrictions are far from history despite it becoming the law of the land in state after state. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Pluralistic:_Preparing_for_a_post-Trump_ [Internet]_(03_Sep_2026)⠀⇛ Which brings me to the post-Trump [Internet]. Trump isn't the first president to figure out that the [Internet] could be weaponized for geopolitical ends. As the Snowden disclosures showed, there has been a longstanding bipartisan consensus that the [Internet] is a great tool for American surveillance, conducted against friend and foe alike. But Trump is the first president to openly, directly recruit American tech companies to simply brick foreign officials who displease him, starting with the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, who lost his Office 365 and Outlook accounts in retaliation for swearing out a genocide warrant for Netanyahu: [...] # ⚓ Neil Fraser ☛ Neil_Fraser:_News:_.name_Termination⠀⇛ On 15 April 2026 Verisign proposed the destruction of the entire 3rd level of the '.name' hierarchy in order to simplify their administration. Astonishingly, on 28 July 2026 ICANN approved this action. I found out about this a few days ago when my registrar emailed me. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Nvidia_will_officially_bring_DLSS_5_to_older GPUs_—_but_won’t_give_gamers_full_control⠀⇛ That said, the company tells me that developers could pass along certain controls in their own settings menus, like they’ve done with other graphics tech. (Early DLSS Super Resolution was also just an on/off toggle, but today’s games let you pick between varying levels of quality or even an exact percentage, depending on the game.) o § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ RCN_Urges_Judge_to_Toss_the_Major Labels'_'Last'_Piracy_Liability_Lawsuit⠀⇛ Internet service provider RCN has asked a New Jersey federal court to reconsider a six- year-old ruling and dismiss the major record labels' piracy liability lawsuit.
