This "links to RMS announcement about GNU," a reader has noted, so we we've dived in.

Justice, and Science. It's Designed to Help Corporations Vanish Their Critics.⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 17, 2026 As just insinuated or as just_noted_in_the_latest_batch_of_Daily_Links ("Automattic Hides What It Did to CEO Mullenweg (or Why)"), corporations trying to muzzle/cancel/defund critics (even their own founders!) is still "a thing". "Automattic has not publicly explained what changed between the initial decision and Mullenweg’s return — and it has also declined to explain the circumstances behind the leave and return," reported The_New_Stack (controlled by Linux_Foundation and by_Microsoft, part of the problem here). We wrote about this days ago [1, 2] and compared this to what was done to Richard_Stallman_ (RMS) and had been done a year earlier to Linus Torvalds, who is no_longer truly_in_charge_of_Linux. We need to have some serious, adult (grownup) talk about this sort of 'cancel culture', which is controlled_by_corporations_and_enforced_using_a_CoC_(Codes of_Conduct)_or_something_similar. The other day Fabio Akita said_"Codes_of_Conduct_Are_the_Root_of_All_Evil," saying_society_ought_to_be_"Reclaiming_Freedom". Quoting Akita in AkitaOnRails.com: Every major open source project today ships with a CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md in the repository. The idea was sold that this existed to “protect minorities” and “create safe spaces.” In practice, what I watched happen over the last decade was something else: an instrument to cancel, persecute, and ban anyone who thought differently from whoever was in control. And the people leading those hunts, as a rule, were not the ones maintaining the projects’ code. "Codes of Conduct" sounds benign; in practice, however, it is not. █ * Links_17/09/2026:_Class_Action_Lawsuit_Over_GAFAM's_"NameTag"_and Automattic_Hides_What_It_Did_to_CEO_Mullenweg_(or_Why) * SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_187_Out_of_200:_Reminding_Ourselves_of_the_Great Damage_Garrett_Did_to_Linux_(for_Microsoft) ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 259 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/09/17/EBay_is_Going_to_Die_Soon.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/09/17/EBay_is_Going_to_Die_Soon.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ EBay is Going to Die Soon⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 17, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇EBay sucks⦈ EBay, like Evri, did something insane. It basically let bots (which it called "hey hi") run through all listings, internationally (even in Australia), trying to_nag_sellers_into_making_changes based on sloppy judgements by slop. The decision-making process leading up to it must have been something like that: CEO/CFO says EBay is perishing and cannot keep up with competitors, the CFO notes that the company's huge_debt is unsustainable (they pay interest on the huge loans), and then some incognito genius says it is/was "the era of hey hi" so they should use bots (they call them "agents" now) to make shallow, wrong, insulting judgements, then hope for the best. In reality, what happens next is the same as Evri. Users will flee. Then, the CEO/CFO (with their giant bonuses) will explain that EBay died because the company did "not invest enough in hey hi!" Perfect excuse, catch-all BS. EBay does not permit criticism of EBay. █ * Red_Hat_PIPs._The_Only_Question_is,_How_Many? * What's_Wrong_with_Microsoft's_GitHub,_New_Article_by_Jacob_Bachmeyer_and Richard_Stallman ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣇⣏⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⣿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣇⣿⠋⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⢿⡿⣿⢿⣿⡍⢹⣯⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣝⣿⠀⣫⣤⣤⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⢸⡗⣴⡇⣶⣦⢹⡆⣾⡆⢸⣿⣿⠃⣶⣦⣿⠴⠶⢸⣷⡄⣶⡆⣿⣿⣷⠀⣶⣿⣿⡟⢰⣶⣼⡧⠶⠆⣿⡇⢸⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢱⣿⣧⣙⣋⣼⣧⣙⣁⣘⣿⣿⣆⣛⣉⣧⣘⣛⣘⣿⣁⣻⣇⣻⣿⣿⣄⣋⣿⣿⣷⣘⣋⣹⣄⣛⣃⣻⣃⣘⣟⣘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⢛⣛⣿⣿⠀⣝⠛⠋⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡉⢹⣿⣿⡍⣯⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⠏⣥⡌⣿⣇⣭⡌⣿⠋⣤⡅⣿⠏⣥⡌⣿⡅⢩⣉⡏⢥⣥⣿⡇⣭⡌⢻⣯⠙⣧⢈⣥⡉⣿⣿⣯⠈⣍⣸⠏⣥⡌⣿⡅⣭⣽⣅⣥⠈⣿⡅⣭⣹⡏⣡⣬⢸⡟⣡⡌⢻⡏⣡⣬⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠇⢿⡄⠶⠖⢻⡁⠶⠆⢿⡄⠻⠃⢿⡄⠶⠖⢿⠇⠸⣿⡟⠶⠆⣹⠇⢿⠇⢸⡿⠀⣿⠘⠿⢃⣿⣿⣿⠀⢿⣿⡄⠶⠖⢻⡄⠿⢻⠐⠶⠀⢿⠇⠿⣿⣇⠻⠟⠸⣇⠲⠶⢻⣇⠻⠏⠸⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣈⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡏⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⢹ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⡤⠶⡖⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠆⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠳⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⢍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣷⣀⣲⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣭⠋⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⢺⣷⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠾⣿⣿⣧⡆⠀⠸⣿⣿⡇⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠙⠋⠛⠡⡼⠂⠘⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠄⠀⠐⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⣷⣶⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⢿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡿⢋⠁⠀⠀⢀⡌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⡎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣯⣤⡾⠃⠀⠀⣾⣿⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡜⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢀⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 342 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/09/17/General_Assembly_Meeting_of_All_Staff_Starts_in_Hour_Ago_to_Dis.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/09/17/General_Assembly_Meeting_of_All_Staff_Starts_in_Hour_Ago_to_Dis.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ General Assembly (Meeting of All Staff) Starts in Hour Ago to Discuss Strikes at Europe's Second-Largest Institution (EPO), Strikes to Last Until End of 2026 (If Not Further)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 17, 2026 The media absolutely does not cover this and that's_intentional The EPO's head of communication/s got_arrested_in_September_2025_for_cocaine. Nobody in the media mentioned he was not some Spanish tourist but actually a high-level official at the EPO, brother_of_the_president's_girlfriend_as_well. Media that phoned me about this told me sincerely that what I reported was true, well done, but it was afraid of SLAPPs (it said that EUIPO, which is where the EPO's cocaine influx had migrated from, was also doing SLAPPs). I should_know. There is a reason why EPO insiders use the term "Alicante Mafia". They act like a mafia and their solicitor who first contacted me (they took several law firms from the_UK's_SLAPP_industry) was literally called "Capone". Media communications about the EPO are rare, shallow, and typically paid for (they use the term "media partners"; it means they bribe people to publish puff pieces and mindless fluff). An actual cocaine addict did this for the EPO for many years and he's_still_inside_the_EPO (not in the communication/s role). That makes one wonder about how people are promoted in the Office, except the nepotism and/or sex. Here's a reminder that the staff is livid and still planning to go ahead with further strikes until the "Alicante Mafia" is stopped. From the Local Staff Committee The Hague (LSCTH): § TODAY Thursday 17th September, 11am: General Assembly of all staff – update on industrial actions⠀➾ Dear colleagues, TODAY, on Thursday 17th September at 11am, the Local Staff Committee The Hague will hold an online General Assembly for all staff to provide an update on the ongoing industrial actions concerning the Salary Adjustment Procedure (SAP). The meeting will include:  * information on participation in and impact of the industrial actions;  * information on upcoming milestones; * outlook for the coming months; * advice for handling productivity measures enforced by management.   At a time of continued social unrest and increasing pressure on staff employment conditions, it is important that staff remains informed and engaged. We therefore encourage all colleagues to attend.     Date: Thursday 17th September, 11:00  There's a similar communication from Munich [1, 2]. Not only the credibility of the EPO is on the line. The EU's as well, for reasons we explained some days ago. █ * SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_187_Out_of_200:_Reminding_Ourselves_of_the_Great Damage_Garrett_Did_to_Linux_(for_Microsoft) * 43rd_Anniversary_of_the_GNU_Project_Announcement ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 436 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/09/17/IRC_Proceedings_Wednesday_September_16_2026.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/09/17/IRC_Proceedings_Wednesday_September_16_2026.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IRC Proceedings: Wednesday, September 16, 2026⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 17, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Bad_man_-_portrait⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GN 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_Gedit⦈_ #techrights_log #boycottnovell_log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GN 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_Gedit⦈_ #boycottnovell-social_log #techbytes_log =============================================================================== The corresponding text-only bulletins for_Tux_Machines and for_Techrights contain all the text.

We've had many Red Hat whistleblowers over the years and now we need someone in HR (IBM) to help shed light on Red Hat's long-term fate. How many people inside Red Hat are "Bluewashed" and how many PIP'ed or "next- stepped"? Red Hat is getting smaller. IBM wants us to think it can replace Linux with slop and replace people with bots (that it_calls_"agents"). In truth, Red Hat becomes just IBM, including the PIPs and human_capital flight. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Red Hat RHELocates its Chinese engineering team to India⦈ * This_Week_The_Register_MS_Published_a_Page_With_"AI"_34_Times_in_It_and It_Was,_as_Usual,_Paid_SPAM! * EBay_is_Going_to_Die_Soon ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡆⣦⣫⢫⣏⠗⣟⣽⠩⣿⣝⡝⣙⡫⢩⠏⡏⡝⣡⣧⡏⡝⡟⢩⣷⡟⠝⡿⢿⣫⢻⣶⣞⠍⣿⠫⡏⣿⡇⡂⡟⣙⢫⢸⣷⣚⣲⠫⢫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⣾⣶⣞⣲⣷⣷⣾⣶⣿⣶⣷⣶⣐⣺⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣷⣗⣪⣷⣶⣶⣃⣿⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣾⣷⣷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣷⣾⣶⣶⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣌⣲⣲⣩⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣬⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣯⣁⣫⣋⣩⣭⣝⣉⣩⣍⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭ ⣿⣿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⡛⠛ ⣿⣿⣿⣛⣻⠿⡿⢻⣟⣻⢻⠿⠿⣿⠛⣛⢻⢿⠿⣿⠻⣿⢿⢻⠿⡿⠿⡿⠿⢿⡿⡿⡿⠿⡿⢻⡿⢿⠿⣿⣛⢛⢟⢿⢟⣿⠿⠟⠛⡻⢿⠿⠿⠻⡿⡿⢿⡟⣛⢿⠿⠿⡿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟ ⣿⣿⣿⣓⣜⣒⣏⣛⣟⣲⣸⣃⣟⣿⣸⣛⣿⣟⣂⣿⣘⣤⣲⣘⣛⡋⡹⣇⣇⣟⣜⣴⣹⣐⣏⣛⣿⣻⣛⣿⣛⣐⣜⣏⣇⣿⣒⣟⣛⣔⣢⣳⣜⣻⣴⣔⣺⣧⣛⣤⣻⣘⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡍⣙⠛⢿⡉⡿⠛⢻⠛⣛⡟⢝⣛⣻⢛⣟⡛⢛⡛⠋⠛⠛⢻⠛⠛⢿⢿⣿⡛⠛⠛⠛⢿⠫⣛⢛⣛⡛⢛⣟⠛⠋⠛⣛⠻⠛⠛⠛⢻⣛⡻⣫⣍⢏⠏⢟⠛⠛⢛⣻⣛⡟⢛⡋⠛⢟⣽⣿⠛⠟⠙⠙⠻⣻⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⠿⣿⡿⡿⠿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⣿⡿⠷⠿⠿⡿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡿⡿⣿⡿⢿⠿⢷⣿⢿⠿⡿⡿⠿⢿⡿⣿⡿⢿⠿⣿⡿⣿⢷⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣾⣷⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣽⣤⣥⣭⣭⣥⣯⣭⣽⣭⣭⣤⣭⣥⣤⣤⣤⣀⣭⣭⣤⣬⣶⣤⣥⣭⣯⣤⣭⣥⣥⣤⣬⣭⣤⣤⣦⣬⣬⣦⣦⣭⣥⣤⣤⣭⣭⣳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣻⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⢿⠿⢛⠿⠿⠿⡿⠻⠻⠿⠿⠟⢿⢿⡿⡿⢿⠻⢛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⡟⠻⡻⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠻⠿⣻⣿⢿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠿⠿⠾⠶⠷⠶⠾⠶⠴⠶⠷⠶⠷⠶⠴⠶⠶⠷⠷⠿⠾⠾⠶⠾⢶⣶⣤⣶⣷⣷⣶⣶⣷⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣾⣾⣷⣶⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣇⣈⣋⣩⣹⠉⣿⣀⣈⣟⡩⢩⣀⣀⣿⣾⣵⣦⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⣭⣇⣌⣁⣈⣍⣉⣹⣿⣿⣯⣽⣽⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣏⠫⣩⢩⡋⣩⢉⣍⣉⢽⣏⡉⣉⢩⣍⢏⢩⢹⣿⡿⣉⠙⡉⣉⠉⠉⣉⡉⣏⣏⡩⣩⣋⣋⠉⣍⢍⣍⢉⢉⡉⢹⡉⣩⠍⢹⣉⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣄⡀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⡝⡙⠋⠹⠛⠛⢻⠛⠛⠋⠛⢛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠛⣟⣛⠁⠑⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣷⠀⢍⠝⠉⠉⢿⣼⠄⡧⠊⠉⢍⠍⠉⣭⠁⠉⠉⢽⠨⢹⠉⣍⢩⡟⠉⢉⢸⠩⠉⡝⡟⠉⢽⢀⠉⡩⢸⢸⠈⠁⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⢿⠿⣿⣿⡿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣏⣄⣆⣀⣰⣇⣘⣀⡵⢡⣀⣀⣖⣘⣇⣲⣀⣄⣄⣸⣀⣪⣅⣀⣻⣗⣐⣜⣀⣦⣂⣀⣀⣨⣗⣐⣄⣠⣀⣀⣆⣀⣇⣀⣢⣆⣀⣻⣀⣇⣀⣀⣸⣀⣔⣎⣄⣀⣠⣚⣀⣄⣀⣻⣠⣢⣀⣸⣐⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⡏⢛⠟⢛⢛⠛⡛⠛⠛⣿⠛⢛⠛⢹⡛⠛⠛⡛⢛⡟⠛⡋⠛⠙⢛⠛⠙⡛⠋⣟⠟⠛⡛⠛⣛⠛⠛⡛⢿⡏⢙⠛⡟⠋⣭⠙⡛⠛⠉⢛⡏⠛⠛⡛⠛⠙⡛⠛⡿⠛⢻⢛⠛⠛⡏⢛⠛⠙⠛⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣷⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⣿⣟⠿⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢻⠛⠿⢿⢿⣿⣿⡟⠻⣿⠿⠿⢻⣿⣿⡟⠿⠿⢻⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡻⠿⣿⠻⠿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡟⢟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⢿⡟⠻⣻⣿⣿⣿⡻⡟⡿⢿⣿⣿⣟⢿⠿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡟⡻⣿⣿⠿⣿⢻⡟⡿⡿⢿⡟⡻⢿⡟⠟⣻⢻⣿⢿⡿⣿⢿⢿⡿⣿⢿⣟⡿⣿⣿⡿⡻⡟⢿⢻⡿⣿⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⢿⣟⣿⣿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣻⣿⡿⣿⡿⣿⢿⡿⡿⣿⢿⡿⢿⢿⣿⢻⡿⣿⡟⢻⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣇⣆⣇⣪⣀⣿⣰⣆⣜⣸⣹⣇⣄⣰⣆⣐⣺⣘⣇⣠⣘⣆⣘⣘⣘⣖⣹⣇⣇⣗⣸⣧⣋⣇⣆⣸⣆⣇⣺⣂⣇⣺⣧⣓⣸⣠⠂⣇⣸⣠⣒⣅⣺⣸⣀⣇⡜⢸⣇⣣⣳⣘⣀⣇⣇⣿⣠⣃⣿⣸⣰⣇⣃⣨⣀⣿⣿⣿ ⡿⣿⠿⡿⠿⠿⡿⢟⠻⡿⣿⠻⣿⡿⢿⡟⢿⢿⢿⡿⠟⢿⠿⡻⠿⠿⡿⢿⡟⡿⣿⡿⢿⡿⠿⢿⡿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣹⣻⣿ ⡿⢿⣿⠿⢿⠿⢿⡿⣿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣿⢿⡿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⢿⣿⠿⣿⡿⢿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1148 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/09/17/SLAPP_Censorship_Part_187_Out_of_200_Reminding_Ourselves_of_the.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/09/17/SLAPP_Censorship_Part_187_Out_of_200_Reminding_Ourselves_of_the.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ SLAPP Censorship - Part 187 Out of 200: Reminding Ourselves of the Great Damage Garrett Did to Linux (for Microsoft)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 17, 2026, updated Sep 17, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇enhanced-secure-boot⦈ Codes of Conduct are being_weaponised_to_take_away_our_freedoms,_our_leaders, and_water_down_our_mission/s. The OSI is a great example of this phenomenon! It used to strongly criticise Microsoft (it even hosted a copy of the_Halloween Documents, still mirrored_by_us), now it's a shill of Microsoft and it 'spat out' its own founders. Those founders are constantly ridiculed (or worse) by a GAFAM person, the man who helped Microsoft kill Linux. His name is Matt Garrett and he rejects freedom. Garrett_was_asking_states_to put_women_inside_cages_so_that_he_can_force_them_to_say_things (he did this to his own_spouse!!!). To take control over them is peak cruelty - he treats women like_he_treats_animals. He's like the evil twin of ICE. And he helped Microsoft put back doors/kill switches inside Linux. We're still paying the price for it. I receive_death_threats. It all started in 2012 because I_opposed_back_doors/kill_switches_inside_Linux. Now I have actual_stranglers (of women) from Microsoft keeping_me_busy. How dare I criticise fraud at Microsoft? How dare anybody inform the public? So at the core what we have is people who attack Linux, we have corruption, and we have a form of entryism. Someone asked that we "please always mention TPM / Restricted_Boot" in relation to this, as despite_the_media_keeping_mostly silent_about_it, Ubuntu downloads have been stopped. The fingers should be pointing at the man who shoehorned the problem into Linux. His name is Matt Garrett. █ Previous Parts: 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_1_Out_of_200:_Claim_No._KB-2024-001270_in 03-03 a_Nutshell 2026-

This is to avoid being on the receiving end of harmful practices, and avoid leading others to be victims too. This article focuses on a few of GitHub's worst problems, and the wrongs and harm they can do: (1) GitHub promotes vague and confusing licensing practices; (2) it demands that visitors run nonfree JavaScript for most operations; (3) some of the “services” it offers are actually SaaSS (Service as a Software Substitute) dis-services; (4) it attempts to subvert the distributed architecture of Git. While Git is free software, GitHub is not software at all. It is a website that provides a range of features, from a simple repository-hosting service to a variety of SaaSS dis-services. The sheer variety of features GitHub offers makes writing a fair critique of the site difficult, because each one calls for an evaluation on moral grounds—both for the job it does, and for the implementation of that job. This article focuses on a few of GitHub's worst problems, beginning with an area where GitHub has shown at least some improvement over the years, mentioning the website's near-uselessness for users who refuse the JavaScript Trap and the SaaSS “AI” [1] dis-services, and ending on GitHub's model of being a central hub in a distributed system. GitHub seems to operate as much like a walled garden as it can without outright breaking compatibility with Git. Because Git is free software, GitHub cannot forcibly tether Git to itself, but it can bait users to adopt workflows that nonetheless tie the users to GitHub. Sometimes the worst handcuffs are not iron, but silk. GitHub offers convenience in centralization, and this makes little frictions insidious: one-click merge only works from a pull request, which can only be made from a “fork” hosted on GitHub; links to GitHub accounts replace email addresses in the web UI; continuous integration runs on GitHub servers by default. Little by little, the Internet-spanning plains of Git become the walled garden of GitHub. The full solution to the problems caused by hosting your package on GitHub is to host your package on a site that doesn't_have_those_problems. But if you can't do that right away, at least publish an email address in your README so people who don't use GitHub can communicate with you about your program, host the web pages about using your program on a website that doesn't require nonfree software to read those pages, and always refer to the web pages there. § Promotion of Vague and Unclear Licensing Practices⠀➾ When GitHub first began offering repository hosting in early 2008, it was completely silent on the matter of properly licensing free software, and this silence led to a proliferation of public repositories with no declared license whatsoever. In 2013, GitHub set up a “Choose_a_License” site to help users select free licenses for new software. As of this writing in 2026, that site gives ill-advised advice for the application of the GPL, stating that merely copying the text of the license into a file in a repository is sufficient. The FSF's lawyers recommend to us, and in turn we recommend to developers, to put_a_license_notice_in_each_substantive_file, to ensure that users are aware of their rights and obligations under the GPL. GitHub mentions this only as an “optional step.” Without the standard GPL notice, there is nothing to say whether the program is licensed under GPL version N only, or under GPL_version N-or-later. GitHub mentions this only in an aside about SPDX license identifiers. § Extensive Use of Nonfree JavaScript⠀➾ GitHub's website sends lots of JavaScript code to the browser, and much of that code is nonfree. Because the site fails to gracefully degrade, users who refuse the JavaScript_Trap find that any interaction beyond simply viewing repositories is impossible, and even many of the file-viewing links no longer work. There are workarounds for this. The standard free Git command-line tools can clone repositories from GitHub, and there is a public REST API and free command-line tool that can handle at least some interaction with the site. However, the command-line tool GitHub provides for that REST API, while technically free software under Expat_license_terms, nonetheless cannot be recommended because GitHub has decided to add spyware features in the form of “telemetry” to it. This is exceptionally ridiculous, because the tool's main purpose is to use a web-based API; GitHub could obtain usage information from their own server logs rather than from users' computers. § GitHub Copilot is SaaSS⠀➾ GitHub started a controversy with the introduction of “GitHub Copilot” that has only grown with the capabilities of the tool. GitHub Copilot began as an “AI”  [1] code-completion tool, with an early demonstration of producing the body of a function given only its header comment, and has grown into an “AI” “agent” claimed to be able to function as a development team member. Copilot has always been controversial. The initial code-completion tool used a model that had been trained on a wide variety of code, under a wide variety of licenses, and was quickly found to be able to reproduce lengthy sections of well-known text verbatim, including the preamble of the GNU General Public License and the Zen of Python. This ability to regurgitate its training material has led to doubts about the legal status of code suggested by Copilot. GitHub offers indemnification to higher-tier Copilot subscribers, although it remains unclear how indemnity would work if the demand were to be GPL compliance rather than money. Later expansions of Copilot's capabilities have brought more controversy. GitHub added a “feature” allowing users to have Copilot write a bug report, which is then submitted as an issue with minimal indication that Copilot was used to generate it. These Copilot-assisted issues have been drowning maintainers of projects on GitHub in slop when users fail to proofread their issues and correct Copilot's errors. GitHub, of course, refuses to allow maintainers to block Copilot-generated issues from being submitted. The legal risks of using LLM code suggestions and the social harms of burying maintainers in slop are universal, applying even to free models run locally, but what GitHub does is bad in another way: Copilot is SaaSS, and its models run on remote servers where users have no control over them. This has produced some of the usual SaaSS abuses: forced “upgrades” that users find to be inferior to the previous versions, and price increases at the whim of the vendor. Copilot subscriptions originally provided access to basic features (mostly the code suggestions) and a certain number of “premium requests” (other interactions and more complex agentic tasks) each month. In early 2026, GitHub announced a policy change: all subscriptions would be forced to move to a token-based billing model that charges for the actual computing resources used, which is only loosely under the user's control. GitHub could impose this change on users because Copilot is SaaSS. § Centralizing Git⠀➾ The above practices are directly inimical to software freedom, but GitHub also undermines the community in deeper, long-term ways that are less immediately evident. Git was designed as a distributed version-control system, with no central points-of-failure anywhere in its architecture. This decision was in part simply making Git as different as possible from CVS, in part a reflection of the bazaar development process around the kernel Linux, and possibly in part a lesson learned from the BitKeeper_fiasco [2]. GitHub seeks to reintroduce elements of centralization that Torvalds explicitly rejected when designing Git, and then encourages users to build workflows around that centralization. ⚓ GitHub “Achievements”⠀⇛ GitHub has a system of profile badges that can be earned by various activities on the site, analogous to achievements in newer video games. In fact, they are called “achievements” in the documentation. This system is another example of gamification where software (or “services”) attempt to addict_users. Of course, most of GitHub's “achievements” only recognize activities associated with the site, a nudge to increase users' dependency upon GitHub. ⚓ Mixed User/Organization Model⠀⇛ GitHub started with a simple premise of providing Git repository hosting. Aligned with this, GitHub organizes repositories under user accounts, and allows all users to make repositories. This is a simple bulletin-board model where users can freely publish their own versions of free packages, and submit changes upstream by asking package maintainers to pull from their copies. This is how Git was designed to work, and this early form of GitHub made that workflow accessible to users lacking the skills or resources to set up their own Git servers. The problem with a bulletin-board model is that it can make locating a canonical version of a package needlessly difficult, in contrast to traditional forges organized around projects with designated maintainers. Designating a maintainer at a forge can be as anarchic as “whoever registers it first,” as carefully managed as the GNU Project, or anywhere in between. This was not a problem for Linux because Linus' repository is widely known to be the central canonical reference in that project. Remember that Git was originally designed specifically to support developing the kernel Linux. Its usefulness elsewhere was a bonus. There is also a problem inherent to Git's distributed model that GitHub makes worse: the bulletin-board model leads to a proliferation of forks, since even the simplest patch must be prepared by first cloning the repository, thereby creating a fork of the package. These forks are often unmaintained or even abandoned after their original purpose is served. The opportunities for confusion led to a tendency to create “organization” accounts at GitHub, a practice now explicitly supported. However, for historical reasons, organizations and users share the same namespace at GitHub, and this leaves considerable room for confusion, made worse by… ⚓ GitHub's Centralized Fork/Pull-Request Workflow⠀⇛ While Git was originally designed to support this model of distributed development, GitHub insidiously inserts itself in the middle. Git allows the mirror from which a pull is drawn to be anywhere on the Internet, but GitHub only supports pulling from… GitHub. While it is possible to use Git to pull from elsewhere, perform a merge locally, and push to GitHub, GitHub carefully creates a path of least resistance entirely dependent on GitHub. There is no technical reason why GitHub could not allow pull requests to reference remote Git servers, or even accept pull requests referencing remote servers by email, which is the traditional “Git way” of handling them. GitHub chooses to tie GitHub pull requests exclusively to itself. GitHub further worsens these problems with its concept of “forks,” distinct from Git's basic feature of cloned repositories. GitHub displays the number of forks of a repository as a sort of popularity-contest badge, and implements forks in a way that renders repositories at GitHub questionably trustworthy, as material that appears only in a fork can nonetheless be retrieved using the parent repository's URL, enabling malicious parties to confuse users. ⚓ GitHub Actions⠀⇛ GitHub offers a modular automated workflow system called GitHub Actions, another way to make your package dependent on GitHub. GitHub Actions can be used to run arbitrary scripts in response to commits or pull requests. The scripts by default run on GitHub's virtual servers, although repository owners can specify to run their scripts on their own servers. While repository owners can self-host runners for their own actions, the standard runner, despite being free software, nonetheless contains a universal backdoor in the form of an automatic update feature, and depends on SaaSS infrastructure controlled by GitHub to tell it what to run. GitHub's action-dispatch infrastructure makes some attempt to enforce the universal backdoor by refusing to dispatch actions to runners that it considers to be running out-of-date software. While the dispatch infrastructure that coordinates running actions is SaaSS, the actions themselves are not SaaSS because users control which actions are run. Even though some actions are nonfree, repository owners can simply refuse to attach nonfree actions to their repositories. GitHub Actions can be used to build very complex automated workflows, ensnaring users deeper into GitHub's web, but there is a free tool available that can help users break out of this trap. Published at nektosact.com, the act program is free software that can run workflows using GitHub Actions locally on demand without depending on GitHub's infrastructure. ⚓ GitHub's Communications Vacuum⠀⇛ GitHub attempts to draw in and centralize as much of the community around a package as possible. While any software forge can be expected to offer trackers for bugs, issues, patches, etc., and to require an account at the site to participate in those web-based discussions, previous forges such as SourceForge and GNU Savannah also offer mailing lists to facilitate collaboration by email with minimal interaction with the forge itself. Git was designed to support the Internet-spanning development project that maintains the kernel Linux. Therefore, Git needs a concept of user identity that also spans the Internet, and the Git developers found a simple solution: email addresses, including an optional name. This was an obvious choice for another reason: development of the kernel Linux is primarily coordinated using mailing lists. That project has its own mailing list infrastructure, and Git was also originally designed to facilitate processing patches exchanged by email. GitHub evidently disagrees with these design decisions, because it not only fails to provide mailing lists, but also absolutely refuses to display email addresses in its main web UI. If a commit has an email address associated with a GitHub account, a link to that account is shown, otherwise only a name is shown with no link at all. One of the moral principles of the free software movement is that the barriers to users becoming developers themselves should be minimal and only technical (and those are acceptable only because barriers such as requiring knowledge of programming fundamentally cannot be eliminated). Obscuring email addresses as GitHub does has the effect of isolating users from existing developers. The requirement to create an account at GitHub to participate in discussions is also a subtle social barrier to users who do not yet think of themselves as developers. § Footnotes⠀➾ 1. The term “AI” is placed in quotes because it has become a marketing term for “Artificial_Intelligence” using LLMs, and while those systems are certainly artificial, they are far from intelligent. 2.

But at least one of my hobbies seems to want to demand an outsize amount of time to be any good at it, which I don't want to devote to it. But being it's competitive, not dedicating extra time leads to being left behind. # ⚓ I'm_so_tired⠀⇛ My days feel like an endless grind. I grind at my demanding job, come home and do the toddler grind. It's been worse lately since my daughter started daycare, which comes with it near constant illness and the emotional turmoil of the transition itself. The amount of shit and vomit I've inhaled in the last 5 weeks is enough for several lifetimes but I know it will not end anytime soon. This is the reality of becoming a parent, the marathon is not measured in days, weeks or months. It is *years*. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Google_Signals_the_End⠀⇛ Last year, Google announced that they will restrict sideloading unsigned apps on Google Play-certified Android devices. This is a major shift in direction and, in my opinion, significantly hurts Android's viability as a mobile platform: sideloading and customization are a large part of what sets Android apart from iOS. I wrote a log about Google's decision soon after it was announced.^ Google claims the decision is meant to increase security. I don't doubt that claim, but I suspect the bigger motivation for their decision is to prevent app piracy. Third-party app stores and markets exist all over the place, and with just a little bit of searching, it's quite easy to find cracked versions of paid apps. If all of those apps need to be signed, even if they're distributed outside the Play Store, then Google can more easily track down who is supplying these illegitimate downloads. # ⚓ Qutebrowser⠀⇛ I recently installed Qutebrowser on my work PC. It works like a champ. I had tried it several years ago and got rid of it. I may have even made a glog post about it, but I'm not bothering to look for it. Qutebrowser is generally pretty great for my work browsing needs: it loads things extremely fast and is compatible with what it needs to be. However, after installing it at home, I remembered why I dumped it before: shitty adblocking. It just sucks. It really does. If I'm trying to watch Youtube, there's a 50% chance it just won't block anything, even if I use StevenBlack's hosts file. It's really annoying on Youtube, which is where I spend a fair amount of time. To make matters worse, it doesn't support extensions, at least not Chrome ones. I can't even put uBlock Origin Lite on this shit. # ⚓ EBAFFLED⠀⇛ Following on from my last post. Yesterday, I received a message from Ebay with apparantly-good news: Thanks again for reporting the listing(s) you found. We wanted to let you know that we closed your report for the below referenced listing(s). These listings have not been removed. [With the listing I'd appealed the removal of listed below] Well it's a bit weird, my "appeal" has become a "report", which makes it sound like I'd reported myself for a voilation in the first place. But I'm getting used to really weird uses of English these days so the final statement "These listings have not been removed" sounded good enough. Only it was wrong! If I go to the listing link, it still returns their 404 page "We looked everywhere!", and when logged in it still shows as being hidden as a "listing with issues", with the option to "appeal" still greyed out since my first appeal/"report". So it seems I've got the old beaurocratic "Bugger off!" after only my first complaint to them. Yet they're preventing themselves from making ~$40 in fees if they'd just let the transaction go ahead on Ebay, when I never suggested anything different anyway. It's basically costing them $40 just to piss me off for no reason. # ⚓ Tektronix_Launches_the_DPO718AX,_A_Mind-Boggling_Eight- Channel_25GHz_Digital_Storage_Oscilloscope⠀⇛ Measurement and instrumentation specialist Tektronix has announced a new entry in its 7 Series DPO digital storage oscilloscope family — and claims it's the world's first model to offer eight channels with over 6GHz of bandwidth per channel: the DPO718AX. "Engineers should not have to choose between the performance their work demands and the visibility they need to understand an entire system," says Tektronix' Daryl Ellis in support of the company's latest premium oscilloscope offering. "Tektronix continues to invest in measurement innovation that enables engineers to apply more powerful measurement techniques in research labs and mission-critical designs. The latest 7 Series gives engineers more confidence to test bolder ideas, solve problems sooner, and turn breakthrough concepts into progress." # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ ROOPHLOCH_2026:_@Griffith_Park⠀⇛ Playing ROOPHLOCH hooky 2day @ grffith park, w0rd!

In the past couple of days alone, I’ve discovered — or rediscovered in some cases — a few of these that I thought would be worth your time. o ⚓ Juha-Matti Santala ☛ Why_do_we_take_notes?⠀⇛ In this blog post, I will be mostly focusing on notes about knowledge and understanding. Maybe there’s a niche space somewhere for people to discuss how to make good grocery lists but I don’t hang out in them. And personal journals and diaries are very personal and I think for that, it’s even clearer “no, don’t use LLMs there” from me. o ⚓ Don Marti ☛ corporate_crimeblogging_in_the_training_set⠀⇛ Ever have to write something for the company blog? It’s like blogging, but Corporate Communications goes over it and makes everything milder. (Yes, once I wrote Fair Competition on the Post-Cookie Web, about a project that was an absolute crime shitshow, and it ran without either the word “crime” or the word “shitshow.”) o ⚓ Chris Coyier ☛ Which_Rude_is_it?⠀⇛ The line takes forever. It just is what it is. And we come to why I titled this The Rude Trifecta. These mocha-ordering fellow humans must fall into one of these categories: [...] o § Science / Mathematics / Computer Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Europe_launches_two_climate_observation satellites⠀⇛ The €350 million ($403.5 million) mission is planned to last three years. The satellite will orbit the Earth 14 times a day, revisiting particular locations every 27 days. # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ How_firelight_may_have_shaped_the origins_of_spoken_language⠀⇛ One of the most prominent theories about the origins of human language is that our ancestors started to communicate using gestural language. This theory is based on our understanding of the abilities of apes, as evidence suggest both chimpanzees and gorillas have gestural communication systems. # ⚓ ARRL ☛ Contest_University_Celebrates_100_Years_of_Yagis⠀⇛ The Yagi-Uda beam antenna was invented 100 years ago, in 1926, [...] # ⚓ Contest University ☛ Contest_University©_–_Dayton_Ohio_– Your_opportunity_to_gain_knowledge_in_the_fine_art_of_ham radio_contesting⠀⇛ Greg Ordy, W8WWV will present his very detailed paper (slide deck) on “The Yagi Turns 100” at noon EDST (1600Z) on Saturday September 19, 2026. Greg will walk through all of the history of this amazing antenna that was invented in 1926. Greg’s slides, his talk and live Q&A will be recorded and available for play back on the CTU website after his talk is complete. http:// contestuniversity.com # ⚓ John D Cook ☛ Converting_between_cosine_similarity_and concentration_ratio⠀⇛ I’ve written three posts on cosine similarity lately. The first looked at interpreting cosine similarity. The second looked at an approximation related to the first. The third looked at how ranking according to cosine similarity works better than cosine similarity itself. Normalized word vectors are points on a high dimensional sphere, and geometry in high dimensions is counterintuitive. See the first post in this series for an explanation. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ Trump_to_Put_Up_Signs_Accusing_Smithsonian of_Political_Bias⠀⇛ What Trump has done, in effect, is made some of D.C.’s most vital institutions — the drivers of tourism and culture in the nation’s capital — into a battleground for the far right’s most specific culture war grievances. That, it seems, is Trump’s legacy, a version of American history where his own ego and grievances matter more than the scholarship or art of any of his constituents. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Electric_Shocks_for_Kids_and_the_Push_to Militarize_Schools⠀⇛ The lack of research justifying this costly panoply of measures turns tragedy to farce. A 2023 review of existing research on school-based law enforcement found no impact on crime but did find a detrimental effect on students. Students feel a lack of trust that corrodes school climate and can worsen behavior. More children are removed from schools through suspension or expulsion, with no effect on safety in the school as a whole. In addition, surveillance technology produces false positives for weapons and threats of violence that can lead to students being unnecessarily searched, arrested, and put in lockdown. # ⚓ Undeadly ☛ EuroBSDCon_2026_talks_online⠀⇛ You can watch all the talks on peer tube, check the dedicated OpenBSD playlist, or pick your favorite talk from the list: [...] # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Get_the_new_Raspberry_Pi_Official_Annual 2027_today!⠀⇛ It’s time for my annual blog post on Raspberry Pi dot com, which can only mean one thing — we have a brand-new book out today, now appropriately titled the Raspberry Pi Official Annual 2027. To celebrate the first full year of projects and guides from Raspberry Pi Official Magazine, we decided a name change was appropriate. # ⚓ Kore Nordmann ☛ Hierarchy_Exists⠀⇛ A lot of managers want to be liked by the people who report to them, and some go a step further and want to be their friends. I understand the impulse, and I have watched it fail enough times to be blunt about it: it does not work, and it does not work because it is dishonest. There is a power imbalance between you and the people who report to you, everyone already feels it, and acting as though it is not there does not make it go away. It just makes you the only person in the room pretending. Being kind is not being friends. I value being kind and honest, always, and you should be warm, human, and decent with the people you work with. Share personal things as you see fit. But none of that makes you their friend, and treating the relationship as a friendship is a lie about what it actually is. You sign off on their raise. You make the call when there is a call to make. They work for you. They know all of this, even when you would rather they forgot it. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Chris Aldrich ☛ What_is_the_prettiest_typewriter typeface?⠀⇛ I often see typewriter enthusiasts “debating” over which is the prettiest or best typeface, and often, they’re making their judgement on one machine they happen to have or really wish they had. Rarely are these judgements made with multiple typefaces on the same page for easier direct apples-to-apples comparison, so I threw together a small sample from a few in my own collection. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ This_Is_Your_Brain_on_Short-Form_Video⠀⇛ Research on short-form videos and cognition is difficult to conduct. Studies on human subjects tend to be slow and expensive, and academics are wary of spending years investigating apps that could be irrelevant by the time their results are published. Plus, the federal government hasn’t prioritized funding research on potentially addictive behaviors, including gambling and social- media use. The industry could help fill in the gaps by funding or even leading research, especially given that American social-media platforms have exclusive and valuable data. But companies are not particularly motivated to bankroll research that could show detrimental effects of their wildly profitable products. So far, they have largely chosen to keep internal research private. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Your_‘health_age’_is_fake⠀⇛ I’m not trying to rain on Apple’s (or other wearable makers’) parade. Frankly, I won’t rule on Apple’s version of the feature until I can test it for myself. I bring this all up to illustrate a point about when this type of feature can be genuinely helpful — and when you should treat it with a healthy dose of skepticism. As with most metrics, it’s all in the framing. # ⚓ Crooked Timber ☛ The_one_where_I_figure_out_in_real_time whether_I_enjoy_climbing⠀⇛ My climbing was and is mostly motivated by reasons extrinsic to the actual climbing. I really enjoy spending time with these friends, and I like being with them as they do something they all clearly love and excel at. Those reasons are more than enough for me to want to continue doing this. But I often do idly wonder: Do I, additionally, enjoy climbing? o § Proprietary / Vendor Lock-in / Malware⠀➾ # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Cisco_warns_customers_of_actively exploited_zero-day_in_email_gateways⠀⇛ The company confirmed the defect was exploited before it was disclosed and patched, but it did not describe the nature of the attacks or the scope of impact across its customer base. # ⚓ Dark Reading ☛ Microsoft_Issues_Emergency_Fixes_After Massive_Patch_Tuesday⠀⇛ "I think we should expect this risk to increase as patch volumes continue to grow, but the relationship is not simply that more patches automatically mean more broken systems," Ensar Seker, chief information security officer (CISO) at threat intelligence vendor SOCRadar, tells Dark Reading. # § So-Called 'Artificial Intelligence' ('AI') / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Why_AI_researchers_warn_humanity could_face_extinction⠀⇛ He warned that algorithms could begin to analyze and improve their own source code independently, which could shrink development cycles from several months to just a few minutes and thus make them uncontrollable. Coxon is not an isolated voice. Nobel Prize- winning physicist Geoffrey Hinton, often called the "Godfather of AI," has been warning for years about the serious consequences of artificial superintelligence. # ⚓ CBC ☛ ‘Very_harmful’:_website_uses_AI_to_generate northern_Indigenous_news_‘correspondents’⠀⇛ That process mostly seems to be repurposing articles from legitimate news sources, rewording them and then publishing the edited version with AI-generated images. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Cybercabs_Are_Taking_Psychotic_Routes_That Turn_Tiny_Trips_Around_the_Neighborhood_Into_Hour-Long Nightmares⠀⇛ One Cybercab passenger in Austin complained that what should’ve been a ten minute trip devolved into a 70-minute long nightmare as the steering-wheel-free robotaxi spiraled its way down the most circuitous route possible. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Economists_Concerned_the_AI_Bubble_Is About_to_Blow⠀⇛ Breaking down all that marketspeak is beside the point. The fact is, financial markets are under tremendous strain from the AI buildout, and the only precedent for this moment comes from the months before markets crash, like the peak of the dot-com boom. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ Destroying_Humanity_Is_Against_the Law⠀⇛ Don’t wait for a mass-extinction event before holding AI developers accountable. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ From_Bernie_Sanders_to_Steve_Bannon, diverse_AI-safety_advocates_grow_louder⠀⇛ A broad array of speakers from lawmakers to theologians voiced doubts about unregulated artificial intelligence at a “pro-human” Washington event Tuesday. AI is testing humanity’s ability to establish guardrails even as tech advances. # ⚓ Dark Reading ☛ Black_Hat_USA_2026_|_OpenAI_Discusses the_Hugging_Face_Incident⠀⇛ The session will trace the models' attack path, including how frontier models are sandboxed during evaluations, how the models exploited a zero-day vulnerability to gain internet access, and how they identified and leveraged a remote code execution path on Hugging Face infrastructure. Drawing on the joint investigation, the speakers will explain how the activity was detected, contained, and investigated. They will also discuss the changes OpenAI is making to strengthen evaluation environments, containment controls, and monitoring capabilities, as well as the role AI systems played in supporting the investigation and response. # ⚓ APNIC ☛ The_case_for_open-weight_models_and_why_we can't_trust_frontier_labs⠀⇛ Through early 2026, several large companies blew past their annual AI budgets in a matter of months. Uber and ServiceNow, according to The Information, exhausted their entire yearly allocations for Anthropic’s tools in the first months of the year, and Uber capped spending at USD 1,500 per employee per tool each month, behind a dashboard that gates any overage. Meta told staff it was tracking toward billions in internal AI cost and moved to meter token usage, standing up a dashboard called AI Gateway to watch spending and flag spikes. The pressure had a cause. # ⚓ Wired ☛ I_Trained_a_Fly’s_Brain_to_Generate_WIRED Story_Ideas⠀⇛ He has 165,112 neurons, and they’re all trained to generate story ideas. A sampling of his early output: “The Hidden Weather Problem Inside Surveillance”; “The Engineers Who Think Elon Musk Needs Less Computer Security”; and my personal favorite, “Everyone Wants Cooking. Nobody Has Solved Donald Trump.” # ⚓ Sean Goedecke ☛ Jev_means_structured_output_is interesting_again⠀⇛ This makes them extremely flexible, since they can do literally anything a computer can do. But it also makes them slow and weird. Slow, because they have to run a whole new generation pass per-token, and weird, because the space of human language is so broad that you can get really odd behavior from a model trained on it. # ⚓ Protesilaos Stavrou ☛ Comments_on_AI,_financial bubbles,_and_career_orientation⠀⇛ This does not mean that there is as clear of a business case in favour of AI. By this, I mean that we are still not sure if every business that relies on it has actually witnessed productivity gains that corresponds to some tangibly superior product or service. Maybe those exist, but the results as not as clear-cut as with the technology case. # ⚓ Jan Schaumann ☛ Everybody's_Lost_Their_Minds⠀⇛ Spending upwards of 75% of my time directly or indirectly dealing with AI every day has absolutely robbed me of most of my enjoyment of my work. Most days feel like that Twilight Zone where you wake up and you're the same, but everyone else is different. (They were all like that.) # ⚓ Buttondown LLC ☛ The_LLMs_yearn_for_the_spines⠀⇛ Earlier this year I worked on a couple of AI- generated TLA+ specifications, and one thing I've noticed was that they all used the word "spine" somewhere. Then I saw some non-TLA+ public projects use "spine" too and got curious if it was a new LLMism (LLisM?). # ⚓ Doug Jones ☛ Hearing_the_news_of_the_OpenAI_Hugging Face_hack_…⠀⇛ I also believe this continues to be part of a regulatory capture operation that OpenAI and Anthropic are both pursuing. # ⚓ David Revoy ☛ Too_Used_to_Prompt_-_David_Revoy⠀⇛ # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ Jensen_Huang_claims_100×_returns_on Nvidia’s_circular_financing⠀⇛ This is not a promise of 100 times returns on Nvidia stock. Not a Ponzi! It’s Jensen saying that Nvidia itself gets a great return on keeping the AI bubble pumping. I don’t think Nvidia’s returns are quite like that. You have to understand the problem Nvidia has. If you’re a public company, then number must go up. As a CEO, you have to show growth and rate of growth, or the Wall Street analysts will be disappointed. And your stock goes down. # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ Wrlach ☛ A_couple_quick_notes_on_ActivityPub⠀⇛ A few weeks ago, I made this site publish to ActivityPub (really mostly thinking about Mastodon, although as an open standard other software can consume it). Just wanted to write down a few notes on the experience for posterity. tl;dr: At this time, a pure-static ActivityPub site isn't possible but the dynamic parts aren't particularly complicated and can be implemented with relatively minimal effort and compute. # ⚓ Yle ☛ Video:_Why_are_AI-generated_lies_about_Finland flooding_social_media?⠀⇛ Accounts posting AI-generated content about Finland may be motivated by the chance to make money through Meta's Content Monetization programme. # § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ # ⚓ Cyble Inc ☛ CHOSEN_BRICK:_Iran's_Spyware_Campaign Against_Its_Critics⠀⇛ What makes the campaign notable is not its technical sophistication. By the standards of state espionage, CHOSEN BRICK is unglamorous – Windows only, no automated spread, command- and-control running over Telegram bots. What makes it notable is the patience of the human work wrapped around it, and what appears to happen to the data afterward. # ⚓ NL Times ☛ Iran_using_spyware_to_gather_information on_dissidents_living_in_the_West:_AIVD⠀⇛ Once that happens, the software, known as Chosen Brick, gains “full control over the device,” the Dutch intelligence agency said. The Iranian regime can then access the victims’ contacts, emails, and social media accounts, for example. The software can also modify security settings and capture screenshots. o § Security⠀➾ # § CISA⠀➾ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2026-09-10_[Older]_ST_Engineering_iDirect_iQ- Series_Terminals_(Update_A)⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2026-09-10_[Older]_AVEVA_Pipeline_Integrity Monitor⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2026-09-09_[Older]_CISA_Adds_Four_Known Exploited_Vulnerabilities_to_Catalog⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2026-09-08_[Older]_CISA_Adds_Four_Known Exploited_Vulnerabilities_to_Catalog⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2026-09-08_[Older]_CareCam_Pro_IP_Cameras⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2026-09-04_[Older]_CISA_Adds_One_Known Exploited_Vulnerability_to_Catalog⠀⇛ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Meta_Is_Using_Instagram_Users'_Photos_to Build_a_Universal_Facial_Recognition_System_for_Its Hated_Smart_Glasses,_Class_Action_Lawsuit_Claims⠀⇛ Now, the company is facing a proposed class action lawsuit over the ordeal, as Wired reports, with a set of families in Illinois and California accusing the company of illegally scraping their Facebook and Instagram photos to build a massive facial recognition system for “NameTag.” The news comes just days after a mother in Utah accused Meta of using its AI to scour Instagram and Facebook posts to reveal invasive information about her young daughters. # ⚓ Krebs On Security ☛ Data_Broker_Radaris_Loses_Domains in_Privacy_Fight⠀⇛ The consumer data broker Radaris.com has long had a reputation for ignoring requests to remove personal information from its vast empire of people-search services online. That reputation caught up with the company recently in a lawsuit alleging Radaris violated a New Jersey privacy law that provides for hefty fines against data brokers that publish personal information on state law enforcement officials. In the face of repeated stonewalling and prevarication by attorneys for Radaris, the judge in the case ordered that radaris.com and more than a dozen other data broker domains be transferred to the plaintiffs. # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ [Crackers]_Stole_Flock’s_Camera_Software, Revealing_How_the_Company_Tracks_Cars_and_People⠀⇛ While people around the U.S. are tearing down Flock cameras, one group of [crackers] went a step further: extracting the camera's software too. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Chipotle_Is_Working_With_Palantir_to_Track Food_Safety_Risks⠀⇛ The company is working on a “food safety risk platform” hosted on Palantir’s flagship software platform Foundry, according to screenshots viewed by WIRED. The platform appears to analyze factors like a store’s health department scores, pest incidents, and employee illnesses to assign a food safety score—basically, the store’s risk level. # ⚓ Jamie Zawinski ☛ Records_of_Enemy_Surveillance⠀⇛ # ⚓ COYOTE Media Collective ☛ An_Oakland_Photographer Surveils_the_Surveillance_State⠀⇛ On Sept. 12, the multi-hyphenate artist and engineer Cara Esten Hurtle shared her latest photography project to much digital fanfare. Entitled “Records of Enemy Surveillance,” the work uses drones to capture aerial views of the surveillance infrastructure that’s risen rapidly across U.S. cities over the last decade — namely, Flock cameras. The images are arresting, at once depicting the geography of the Bay Area, the contours of the built environment, and the jarring ease with which tracking technologies have proliferated across these terrains. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Build_your_own_smart_doorbell_and_protect your_privacy_–_in_one_hour,_with_Massimo_Banzi⠀⇛ Of course, we have an easy (even fun!) solution to these concerns: just build your own smart doorbell, and have complete control – not only over who comes and goes, but also over where your data is stored and how it’s handled. # ⚓ [Old] Jon ☛ Desnitching_the_TV⠀⇛ I got a new smart TV this week. A Bravia 8 II. So far it's amazing. It blows my old circa 2015 Sony Smart TV away. But this isn't a review. I'll describe how I oversee and control the TV's access to the Internet using pf(4) and unbound(8) on OpenBSD. Some people might suggest keeping the TV off the network and I'd agree that that is a wise and sensible approach. An offline TV can't report what it learns. However, I've read of TVs using open WI-FI networks without their owners consent. I figure if it's using my network, then at least I can monitor what it does. My family also use the TV and they like to watch Netflix and iview which obviously require Internet access. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ European Commission ☛ 2026_State_of_the_Union_Address_by the_President⠀⇛ No social media under the age of 13. No personal account under the age of 15. That means, from 13 until a child turns 15, only mini accounts set up and supervised by parents or guardians, with limited features and time restriction of one hour a day. And between 15 and 18, safe design will be an obligation for the platforms. I am aware that many perceive the power of big tech as overwhelming. And impossible to roll back. I disagree. # ⚓ The Local SE ☛ 'Europe_has_power_to_act':_EU_to_ban_social media_for_under_13s⠀⇛ The 27-country bloc would take a "gradual" approach, von der Leyen confirmed during her annual keynote address to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France. # ⚓ The Walrus ☛ AI_Is_Apparently_Going_to_Destroy_Us_All._Is Anyone_Trying_to_Stop_It?⠀⇛ How to wrest everyone’s future out of the hands of rogue billionaires # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Space_Force_Chief_Admits_the_US_Is_Actively Utilizing_Orbital_Weapons⠀⇛ Schiess stopped short of providing any details about the weapons, instead sharing a war story of one Space Force operator named “Specialist Gray.” # ⚓ Space ☛ US_Space_Force_says_it_operates_weapons_in_orbit: 'Our_aim_is_deterrence'_|_Space⠀⇛ Schiess didn’t specify what kind of weapons the U.S. operates in orbit, how many there are, or what exactly they do. But the revelation that the Space Force is operating those kinds of assets is by itself a pretty hefty admission. The news expands the known scope of U.S. military activity in the final frontier, which already included the use of satellites for GPS, communications, missile warnings and other targeting and intelligence operations. # ⚓ Task And Purpose ☛ Air_Force_creates_new_career_field_to defend_bases_from_drones⠀⇛ The Air Force has spent the last year building up a new system to defend bases from drones and missiles, testing everything from artificial intelligence-powered detection systems to electronic warfare and kinetic weapons designed to physically knock drones out of the sky. # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ The_Jewish_Socialists_Who_Fought_the Tsar_and_Zionism⠀⇛ Molly Crabapple tells the story of the Jewish Labor Bund, which built a mass socialist movement in the Russian Empire and interwar Poland — fighting pogroms, rejecting Zionism, and insisting that Jewish liberation was inseparable from everyone else’s. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ The_Real_AI_Threats:_Automated_Hacking_And Surveillance,_Conventional_Weapons_Development,_Biological Misuse⠀⇛ Techdirt has just written about concerns that AI development is proceeding more quickly than human oversight can monitor and control it. Since then, there has been lively debate about whether those fears are real or overblown. They mainly focus on the possible future threats from AI systems using RSI — recursive self-improvement — to drive their own development, at an ever-faster pace, by re- writing their own code. But a recent report from Anthropic underlines that AI is already being used by conventional threat actors — state-sponsored groups, financially-motivated criminals, commercial spyware vendors, state propaganda institutions, and politically-motivated individuals — in attempts to cause a wide range of harm, exploiting today’s powerful AI systems to amplify the reach and impact of their actions. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Age_Limits_for_Social_Media_Outlined_by European_Union⠀⇛ “It is not about our minors accessing social media. It is about when and how do we allow social media to access minors,” said Ms. von der Leyen during an annual State of the Union address. # ⚓ The Record ☛ Coast_Guard,_FBI_boarded_tanker_after_attack by_‘foreign_cyber_actors’⠀⇛ “On August 21, a highly specialized team — comprised of USCG Law Enforcement personnel, USCG Cyber Protection Team members, a vessel inspector, and FBI Cyber Action Team operators — embarked the vessel to conduct a comprehensive cyber security boarding and investigation,” the spokesperson said. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ EU_Chief_Warns_of_AI-Powered_Hacking,_Moves to_Rein_In_Social_Media⠀⇛ She stressed that controlling the risk is not the same as inhibiting the potential; and that Europe does not need to develop new frontier models to draw benefit from them. “The key is creating the value that AI has not yet delivered: such as moving AI from the screen to the real economy and the real society, on the factory floor, on the hospital ward, in precision agriculture, in our energy grids, smart grids, for autonomous driving, for defense. That is where the real value is hidden.” # ⚓ Wired ☛ The_EU_Plans_to_Ban_Social_Media_for_Under-13s⠀⇛ The proposal for a total ban on social media for children under 13 was announced in Wednesday’s State of the Union speech, where von der Leyen set out the Union’s priorities for the year ahead. # ⚓ Marisa Kabas ☛ Republicans_don’t_have_a_Nazi_problem—they are_the_Nazi_problem⠀⇛ Nazi, white supremacist, white nationalist: Whichever term you prefer, it’s undeniable that this category of person is no longer a societal fringe, but an active presence in American society promoted and rewarded by one of the two main political parties. Republicans have embraced Nazi ideology from the White House to the Florida State House, and it’s difficult to track all of the recent instances of Nazism infiltrating mainstream politics. This is my attempt at capturing them. # ⚓ [Old] The International Federation of the Resistance Fighters ☛ A_brief_history_of_the_International_Federation_of Resistance_Fighters_(FIR)⠀⇛ Immediately after the liberation and defeat of fascist barbarism in Europe, former political prisoners of the concentration camps and prisons of fascist Germany founded the FIAPP (Federation internationale des anciens prisioniers politiques) in Warsaw. In 1948, the German VVN was also accepted as an equal member. For political reasons, the International Federation of Resistance Fighters (FIR) was re-established in June 1951 and succeeded in integrating organizations of former resistance fighters, deportees and internees, activists of different political orientations and from all European countries. The FIR headquarters was established in Vienna. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ NOTUS Media LLC ☛ Judge_Warns_Blanche_of_Possible_Contempt Charges_Over_Epstein_Files_-_The_Washington_Sun⠀⇛ The order stems from a lawsuit by Katie Phang, a lawyer and political commentator seeking to force the Justice Department to turn over more Epstein documents. # ⚓ Truthdig ☛ The_Epstein_Reckoning_Hits_the_Campaign_Trail⠀⇛ In key races from Arizona to North Carolina, Democrats are hammering Republicans for their votes on the Epstein files, records on cases of sexual abuse and connections to offenders. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ The Revelator ☛ How_Zimbabwe’s_Regime_Is_Fueling_a_Dirty Lithium_Boom⠀⇛ The farmers have every reason to fear the new lithium mining project: Similar mining ventures elsewhere in the country have displaced communities from their lands, polluted water and air, and disrupted livelihoods. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Data_Centers_Are_Causing_a_Huge_Surge_in Incredibly_Toxic_Chemicals_Polluting_the_World⠀⇛ Data centers don’t just undergird the avalanche of AI slop polluting our social media feeds — they’re spewing an awful lot of physical slop as well. On top of the noxious air pollution, as well as the occasionally bacteria-laden wastewater discharge, data centers are responsible for a rising tide of forever chemicals, artificial substances which never degrade naturally. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Trump’s_EPA_Repeals_Limits_on_Power_Plants’ Carbon_Emissions⠀⇛ The A.I. boom is also slowing the phaseout of coal. The Biden administration drafted its 2024 rule at a time when coal was expected to keep shrinking on its own; the rule projected a “continued decline in projected coal-fired steam generating unit capacity as well as a steady decline in annual operation of those [plants] that remain online,” driven largely by “eroding economic opportunities for coal-fired steam generating units to operate.” Now the rapid growth in power demand from data centers has led to a resurgence in demand for coal plants, and has led many utilities to push out the retirement date for their legacy coal assets. For coal power plants that sell into wholesale markets like the Midwest and the mid-Atlantic, high prices have made it worthwhile to stay online. (The Trump administration has also ordered some coal plants to stay online past their planned retirements, a move that a federal court found to be unlawful earlier this month.) # ⚓ The Verge ☛ The_AI_data_center_e-waste_problem_is_huge_— and_getting_bigger⠀⇛ E-waste from the AI boom has been vastly underestimated, a new report warns. By 2050, it could become enough trash to fill 23 million shipping containers — roughly enough 40-foot containers to circle the world six times if lined up in a row. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Heat_Domes:_Meet_The_Quiet_And_Oppressive_Take On_The_Thunderdome⠀⇛ A heat dome is, for instance, not just a heatwave. The exact definition of a heatwave is not universal, but in general it means at least a couple of days of day-time temperature excursions well above this average maximum. In the UK for example at least two days are required before it is officially termed a ‘heatwave’. These heatwaves have become more common as global surface temperatures have increased on account of anthropogenic climate change. A heat dome requires two factors to form, the first being a period of calm, warm weather, the second being a large area of high pressure that remains in place for an extended period of time. As the hot air rises, the high pressure in the higher atmosphere layers pushes back on this air, compressing it and causing adiabatic heating. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ Your_brain_runs_on_20_watts._Could brain-inspired_computing_do_the_same?⠀⇛ Right now, your brain is recognising the shapes of these letters, analysing their meaning, and holding a stream of thought together – all on about 20 watts of power. That’s roughly what it takes to run a lightbulb. # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ Deregulation,_Not_Data_Centers, Broke_the_Grid⠀⇛ Electricity bills are rising, and data centers are getting the blame. But for 50 years, the American grid absorbed loads this large while real prices fell. The difference between then and now? Deregulated markets. # ⚓ Renewable Energy World ☛ US_solar_advocacy_closes ranks;_SEIA_and_CCSA_to_consolidate⠀⇛ Founded in 1974, SEIA is the largest national trade association for the solar and storage industry and has helped drive growth in utility-scale, commercial, and residential segments. CCSA has served as the national trade association for community solar and storage developers, businesses, and nonprofits since 2016. Combined, the two organizations now form the only national trade association representing every segment of the U.S. solar and storage industry, boasting an expanded network and enhanced capabilities to shape market and policy priorities at both the state and federal levels. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Ride_The_Rails_On_A_OneWheel⠀⇛ The US has tons of abandoned rail, especially in urban environments, so it seems a shame to let it go to waste. [OneWheel] decided to modify one of their boards to ride the rail behind their office. # ⚓ NPR ☛ A_Trump-backed_[cryptocurrency]_bill_just suffered_a_bruising_defeat_in_the_Senate._Here's_why⠀⇛ But opponents saw it as the industry's attempt to encode into law a set of rules they saw as far too lenient on the industry, without enough safeguards. A version of the bill already passed the House last year, but it has faced a long and torturous road in the Senate as opponents have fought tooth and nail. Now, it faces an uncertain future, as the [cryptocurrency] industry and its backers in the Senate must decide whether to try again at a later date. aa Here are 5 key things to know about the Clarity Act — and why opponents are fighting hard to prevent it from ever being passed. # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ Smithsonian Magazine ☛ Some_Fish_in_the_Great_Lakes Might_Be_More_Than_400_Years_Old,_a_Study_Suggests, Outliving_Around_15_Generations_of_Humans⠀⇛ Lake sturgeon may be among the longest-living vertebrates, second only to Greenland sharks, according to recent research.

The reason for this is management's refusal to sign a collective bargaining agreement with the staff — a document that regulates the number of standard working hours per week, overtime, rules for dismissal, available benefits, and many other labor nuances. # ⚓ Mansueto Ventures ☛ Disney_Is_Buying_Back_$8_Billion_in Stock_as_Employees_Face_Layoffs_and_Stricter_Office_Rules⠀⇛ For many people, especially Disney superfans, working at Disney is a dream job. In the past, the company has boasted that full-time workers at Walt Disney World stay with their employer for an average of 10 years, more than twice as long as the national average. However, that dream may be beginning to sour. In the past year, Disney employees have faced multiple rounds of layoffs with the possibility of more in the future, and a pullback on employees’ freedom to work from home. In April, Disney laid off 1,000 employees, primarily in its marketing department. This was one of the first major moves by CEO Josh D’Amaro, who cited the reason for the decision as an effort to “more effectively manage our resources.” One of the employees who lost his job, Chris Bess, had worked for the Disney company for 31 years. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Sweden's_center-left_bloc_set_to_win election,_STV_reports⠀⇛ If the results are confirmed, it would usher in a change in government from the right-wing bloc led by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Who_Is_Thomas_Dans?_How_a_MAGA_Influencer Became_Trump’s_Arctic_Adviser.⠀⇛ In the media and at public events, he’s backed Trump’s push to take over Greenland. And he’s advocated enthusiastically for closer U.S. relations with Russia — even as a bipartisan group of lawmakers calls for tougher sanctions on the country and more aid to Ukraine. Dans and Damen have long done business in Russia, and Dans has regularly shared social media posts that reflect a pro-Kremlin viewpoint. # ⚓ OpenRightsGroup ☛ Online_Safety_(Amendment)_Bill⠀⇛ The Bill exempts from regulation under the Online Safety Act certain small, low risk user-to-user services. In order to be exempt a service would have to (a) not be conducted for profit, (b) not present a material risk of significant harm to UK individuals and (c) qualify as a small service by reference to either active user numbers or operating expenses. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Why_the_Postpandemic_Tech_Bust_Sent_Billionaires_to Trump⠀⇛ Tech’s pandemic-era hiring boom was underwritten by an extraordinary financial backdrop shaped by over a decade of loose monetary policy. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates to near zero to stimulate the economy. And for most of the 2010s, rates remained near zero, creating what economists call an era of zero interest rate policy, or ZIRP. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ How_to_Argue_with_Reactionaries⠀⇛ Sartre wrote the diagnosis in 1944, watching it work on his own countrymen: never believe they are unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know. The absurdity is recreation. Your obligation to use words responsibly — because you believe in words — is the exact asymmetry the whole arrangement runs on. He will hold you to every standard of intellectual honesty and observe none of them, because in his mouth the standards exist only as weapons aimed at you. The proof is that no rigor on your part ever earns reciprocity. It earns the next demand. # ⚓ The Next Move ☛ My_Grandfather_Helped_Start_DSA._Its Platform_Is_Dangerous.⠀⇛ But what if your evening philosophizing leads you to disagreement with the party? What if your own sense of meaningful work, or your own guiding star, looks nothing like what the DSA has decided is in the collective interest? Liberalism is built to protect room for different visions of the good life. Yet this platform, with its prescriptive solutions and unitary congressional theory, is fundamentally illiberal. Therein lies the trouble with my grandfather’s argument in The Politics of Meaning: once politics becomes intertwined with meaning itself, compromise becomes impossible. Pragmatism stops being merely difficult and becomes heretical. The whole system of checks and balances starts to look like an obstacle rather than a safeguard. The competing interests of the collective and the individual are viewed in zero-sum terms. # ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Automattic_says_CEO_Mullenweg_was_gone_and back_inside_33_hours._What_happened_between?⠀⇛ By last Saturday, a new alert emerged stating that Mullenweg was back in his position and that “Matt was away for only 33 hours and 20 minutes.” Automattic has not publicly explained what changed between the initial decision and Mullenweg’s return — and it has also declined to explain the circumstances behind the leave and return. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ The Nation ☛ When_Texas_Sex_Ed_Falls_Short,_Gen_Z Women_Turn_to_Social_Media⠀⇛ A 2025 study found that 70 percent of adolescents sought reproductive health information through social media platforms. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Jacob Bruggeman ☛ Who_Governs_the_Information_State?⠀⇛ It’s a common suspicion that unseen or unseemly technological forces are shaping our society. Lately, data centers are the clearest objects of that suspicion. But technocratic expertise and high-tech government have been unsettling Americans for far longer. In The Information State: Politics in the Age of Total Control (Henry Holt, 2026), journalist and Tablet editor Jacob Siegel tells that longer history. He traces how the modern American state governs through the collection, manipulation, and control of digital data. # ⚓ NPR ☛ Judge_blocks_DHS_from_acting_against_a_man_over_a harsh_email_to_an_ICE_official⠀⇛ "Mr. Streever's injury is the loss of his freedom to engage in political speech now because the threat of such an investigation or prosecution looms over him like the sword of Damocles, and he is forced to self-censor under that threat," Contreras wrote in his ruling. He wrote that because it was likely the federal government had already infringed on Streever's First Amendment rights, he was issuing a preliminary injunction while the case continued so that Streever could continue to speak freely. # ⚓ Court Listener ☛ Order_on_Motion_for_Preliminary_Injunction AND_Order_on_Motion_to_Dismiss_AND_Order_on_Motion_to Transfer_Case_–_#24_in_STREEVER_v._MULLIN_(D.D.C.,_1:26-cv- 02356)_–_CourtListener.com⠀⇛ ORDER granting in part and denying in part 9 Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction, and denying the remainder of 17 Defendants' Combined Motion to Dismiss or Transfer not previously addressed in 18 the Court's Order Granting in Part and Denying in Part Defendants' Procedural Requests Accompanying Their Motion to Dismiss.

To ensure a sustainable future for our journalism, we must focus our investment in the areas where our audiences spend the most time and where our revenue reflects the value of our work. “In our newsrooms, that means less emphasis on story volume and more on original journalism and distinctive brands. It also means that ‘active engaged time’ will become our north star metric, over and above page views, by the end of the year.” # ⚓ CPJ ☛ CPJ_welcomes_release_of_three_journalists_in Belarus⠀⇛ Former director of the BelaPAN independent news agency Navazhylau and former BelaPAN deputy director Aliaksandrau, who was also founder and chief editor of the news website Belaruski Zhurnal, had been jailed since 2021. Pazniak,who worked for the YouTube channel Platform 375, was arrested in September 2025. Aliaksandrau’s wife, Iryna Zlobina, who was also detained in 2021, was also freed on Wednesday as was Pazniak’s daughter Yanina, who was also detained in September 2025. o § Civil Rights / Policing / Accessibility⠀➾ # ⚓ FairPlanet gGmbH ☛ Forgotten_slavery:_The_Arab-Muslim_slave trade_|_FairPlanet⠀⇛ The Arab Muslim slave trade, also known as the Trans-Saharan or Eastern slave trade, is recognised as the longest in history, spanning over 1,300 years. It forcibly removed millions of Africans from their homeland, subjecting them to brutal conditions while they laboured in foreign lands. Scholars have referred to it as a "veiled genocide," a term reflecting the extreme humiliation and near-death experiences endured by the enslaved, from their capture in slave markets to their forced labour abroad and the harrowing journeys in between. # ⚓ The Spectator Ltd ☛ Why_do_we_never_talk_about_Islamic slavery?_|_The_Spectator⠀⇛ Slavery is such an intrinsic part of Islam that the treatment, utility, and social status of slaves is expressly discussed in multiple verses of the Koran. Notoriously, the Koran allows slave owners sexual rights to their female chattels – the woman is not permitted to refuse. This fact was exploited by Isis terrorists when they seized Yazidi girls as unwilling concubines. # ⚓ ANF News ☛ Jin,_Jiyan,_Azadî_uprising_continues_the struggle_of_Kurdish_women⠀⇛ The killing of Jina Mahsa Amini in Tehran on 16 September 2022 sparked an uprising in Iran under the slogan Jin, Jiyan, Azadî, which within a short time became the voice of women’s resistance across the world. Jina Mahsa Amini became a symbol of the struggle against repression, patriarchal rule and violence against women. For Kurdish women, however, Jin, Jiyan, Azadî is not merely the slogan of the 2022 uprising. It is rooted in the historical legacy of Kurdish women’s struggle. Kurdish women have fought for years against occupation, repression and patriarchal rule, and through their efforts and sacrifices have played a particular role in preserving the identity, language and freedom of their society. The Jin, Jiyan, Azadî uprising can therefore be seen as a continuation of this historic struggle. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ AI_Really_Is_Eviscerating_Entry-Level_Jobs,_New Data_Shows⠀⇛ Though computer science grads are bearing the brunt of the mayhem, tech jobs may just be the first domino to fall. As Urban Future’s executive director Jon Bowles told the City, “entry-level postings” overall have “fallen off a cliff, and the first rung of the ladder in tech is under pressure.” # ⚓ Semafor Inc ☛ A_‘gripping_account’_of_four_women’s_escape from_the_Taliban⠀⇛ In 2021, when Kabul fell to the Taliban, a team from the The New York Times — led by Rebecca Blumenstein — scrambled to evacuate many of the Times’ Afghan employees and their families, ultimately relocating more than 200 people from Afghanistan to the US. o § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ # ⚓ University of Michigan ☛ UMich_offering_only_Coca-Cola products_across_campus⠀⇛ Through the agreement, Coca-Cola obtained pouring rights, an exclusive contract between a beverage supplier and an organization granting the brand the sole right to sell and serve on its premises. Before the University signed the exclusive beverage contract, multiple suppliers could provide beverages under separate agreements to the University, resulting in dining settings serving beverages from a variety of brands, including PepsiCo. # ⚓ [Old] Birdhouse Arts Collective ☛ He_Who_Controls_the Bootloader⠀⇛ A few years ago, Be's CEO Jean-Louis Gassée used the phrase "peaceful co-existence with Windows" to describe his company's intended relationship with Microsoft on the consumer's hard drive. Later, when it became clear that Microsoft had no intention of co-existing with a rival OS vendor peacefully, Gassée recanted, saying, "I once preached peaceful coexistence with Windows. You may laugh at my expense -- I deserve it." With so little profit margin in the computer retail business, and with so little to set one brand of computer apart from another, it would seem that out-of-the-box dual-boot capabilities would be a tremendous differentiating factor for hardware vendors. It would seem that there would be financial incentives for computer vendors to be asking Be for 10,000-license deals.
