Intimidation Against Nitrux Development Team Upsets the Community and Makes the Media Less Trustworthy
Nitrux is being criticised for being “very unappealing”; but a look behind the scenes reveals an angry reviewer (habitual mouthpiece of the Linux Foundation and Linux foes) trying to intimidate Nitrux developers, who are unpaid volunteers rather than “corporate” developers

Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting (FOSDEM) and KU Leuven Boosting Americans and Cancellers of the Father of Free Software
The Free Software Foundation (FSF) and its founder, Richard M. Stallman (RMS), along with the SFLC one might add, have been under a siege by the trademark-abusing FSFE and SFC; Belgium helps legitimise the ‘fakes’
Techrights in the Next 5 or 10 Years
Now that I’m free from the shackles of a company (it deteriorated a lot after grabbing Gates Foundation money under an NDA) the site Techrights can flourish and become more active
60 Days of Articles About Sirius 'Open Source' and the Long Road Ahead
The Sirius ‘Open Source’ series ended after 60 days (parts published every day except the day my SSD died completely and very suddenly); the video above explains what’s to come and what lessons can be learned from the 21-year collective experience (my wife and I; work periods combined) in a company that still claims, in vain, to be “Open Source”

Taking Techrights to the Next Level in 2023
I've reached a state of "closure" when it comes to my employer (almost 12 years for me, 9+ years for my wife); expect Techrights to become more active than ever before and belatedly publish important articles, based on longstanding investigations that take a lot of effort
The ISO Delusion: When the Employer Doesn’t Realise That Outsourcing Clients' Passwords to LassPass After Security Breaches Is a Terrible Idea
The mentality or the general mindset at Sirius ‘Open Source’ was not compatible with that of security conscientiousness and it seemed abundantly clear that paper mills (e.g. ISO certification) cannot compensate for that

EPO Management Isn't Listening to Staff, It's Just Trying to Divide and Demoralise the Staff Instead
“On 18 January 2023,” the staff representatives tell European Patent Office (EPO) colleagues, “the staff representation met with the administration in a Working Group on the project “Bringing Teams Together”. It was the first meeting since the departure of PD General Administration and the radical changes made to the project. We voiced the major concerns of staff, the organization chaos and unrest caused by the project among teams and made concrete proposals.”

[Meme] With Superheroes Like These...
Ever since the new managers arrived the talent has fled the company that falsely credits itself with "Open Source"
Not Tolerating Proprietary 'Bossware' in the Workplace (or at Home in Case of Work-From-Home)
The company known as Sirius ‘Open Source’ generally rejected… Open Source. Today’s focus was the migration to Slack.
The ISO Delusion: A Stack of Proprietary Junk (Slack) Failing Miserably
When the company where I worked for nearly 12 years spoke of pragmatism it was merely making excuses to adopt proprietary software at the expense of already-working and functional Free software
Debian 11 on My Main Rig: So Far Mostly OK, But Missing Some Software From Debian 10
Distributions of GNU/Linux keep urging us to move to the latest, but is the latest always the greatest? On Friday my Debian 10 drive died, so I started moving to Debian 11 on a new drive and here's what that did to my life.
Stigmatising GNU/Linux for Not Withstanding Hardware Failures
Nowadays "the news" is polluted with a lot of GNU/Linux-hostile nonsense; like with patents, the signal-to-noise ratio is appalling and here we deal with a poor 'report' about "Linux servers" failing to work
Microsofters Inside Sirius 'Open Source'
Sirius ‘Open Source’ has been employing incompetent managers for years — a sentiment shared among colleagues by the way; today we examine some glaring examples with redacted communications to prove it

The Hey Hype Machine
"Hey Hype" or "Hey Hi" (AI) has been dominating the press lately and a lot of that seems to boil down to paid-for marketing; we need to understand what's truly going on and not be distracted by the substance-less hype

Microsoft DuckDuckGo Falls to Lowest Share in 2 Years After Being Widely Exposed as Microsoft Proxy, Fake 'Privacy'
DuckDuckGo, according to this latest data from Statcounter, fell from about 0.71% to just 0.58%; all the gains have been lost amid scandals, such as widespread realisation that DuckDuckGo is a Microsoft informant, curated by Microsoft and hosted by Microsoft (Bing is meanwhile laying off many people, but the media isn’t covering that or barely bothers)

Nice work, Daemon. Been there, done that. The later rc’s are worse than the betas.

168 views in UTube and no comments.
That guy needs to learn how to use computers, he comes across as a complete noob who cant even get an OS installed on a computer.
Funny how millions of others have installed Win7 many times without a single problem.
Ive been using it on my old laptop (compaq presario m2000, 2GRAM) and ive been using win7 build 7000, 7068 and now 7077 have i had a single problem with it… NO.
I know its easier to diss the opposition, but IF anyone ever actually looks at your UTUBE post they will (probably rightly) think you should not be “in the job” of reviewing software or operating systems.
Clearly, its not your field of skill.
why did you not get some screen shots of your BSOD’s or provice anything to backup what your saying, or is it just FUD ??

and there is NO RC versions of Win7 out yet, so waying the RC versions are worst is a flat out lie ,,, right ??

The comments above, supposedly from “Dave”, are actually from a Microsoft shill who typically goes by the name “Darryl” (he got banned from LinuxToday for trolling there perpetually).
What a pleasant surprise. We talk about attack dogs and we find a familiar one right here in this post.
Give it up, “Darryl”. You fool nobody. Your IPs are known in Linux sites.
