DecorWhat Else is New

  1. Agents of Monopoly: WIPO is Lobbying for or Reinforcing Microsoft Monopoly by Pushing Its Proprietary Software and Formats

    The World Intellectual Property [sic] Organization — like the EPO (where António Campinos outsourced IT systems to Microsoft) — is choosing the most notorious/corrupt ‘tech’ ‘company’ (cult) instead of open standards and, as the links above show, this is nowadays done inside the United States and outside the United States as well, riaising legal questions/ire

  2. Links 21/9/2021: Windowsfx 11, New Chrome, and LF PR Noise

    Links for the day

  3. [Meme] The EPO-EUIPO “Good Brother” Network

    Jobs as bribes at the EPO and EU(IPO) are a lingering problem

  4. Links 21/9/2021: Samba 4.15 and Ubuntu 14.04/16.04 Support for 10 Years

    Links for the day

  5. Richard Stallman's First Public Talk (Delivered in Person) in Years, Now With a Free Format

    Full talk now available. The organisers of the conference have uploaded to YouTube, so we’ve converted everything to a free/libre format (and last night only an excerpt was published here).

  6. [Meme] The Best Quality Propaganda

    The António Campinos-led EPO is still a never-ending propaganda machine; the media isn’t fact-checking or investigating anything, so of course that propaganda goes largely unchallenged and the propagandists (like Joff Wild) profit from it

  7. Preparations for the Next Series and Further Improvements in IPFS and Gemini

    Gemini space (or Geminispace) continues to expand quite rapidly and we're utilising alternatives to the Web in order to improve access to information; at the moment EPO publications are our priority

  11. Richard Stallman's Talk in Ukraine Two Days Ago (in Person)

    Richard Stallman explains his stance on Invidious (released under the AGPLv3) in his new (in-person) talk

  12. Microsoft and the EPO: A History of Threats and Suppression Against the Free Press

    Bribed and blackmailed media isn't covering EPOnia's corruption anymore; somebody should, but that's not as easy as it may seem on the surface (not even for a distant outsider)

  13. [Meme] The B4 Summit: Baltic Benoît Battistelli in Belarus

    It should not be surprising that when Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos get to 'fix' their own election by the EPO‘s Administrative Council that very same Administrative Council will later rubber-stamp virtually every proposal of theirs, even unlawful proposals

  14. Links 20/9/2021: Telegram Desktop 3.1, Arcan as Operating System Design

    Links for the day

  15. [Meme] Looting Europe and Taking Away From the Office

    The staff of the EPO is being robbed by corrupt officials, who arrogantly assume that they can get away with anything (because they have facilitators all over Europe)

  17. Formally Challenging the EPO and Microsoft for Apparent Efforts to Suppress Reporting With Evidence of Crimes, Including Violations of EPO Data Protection Guidelines

    The largest cross-institutional European den of corruption, the EPO, will be hearing from lawyers and hopefully from public officials too. The criminal behaviour is long overdue for review and the Administrative Council too should be investigated (for repeatedly abetting this behaviour, for personal gain).

  21. EPO Management is Hiding Under the 'Cloud' While Violating Privacy Laws

    Facing a barrage of scrutiny for outsourcing the EPO's systems to Microsoft, the EPO has just arranged yet another expensive PR stunt, looking to somehow 'normalise' the unacceptable and the likely illegal

  22. Maintenance and Development Updates

    We've been doing a lot of work on the back end (or operations) of Techrights, more so this past month, and we're almost ready to resume the normal publication pace

  23. [Meme] Microsoft Says Its Paying Clients (Like EPO) Don't Violate Privacy Law

    The ever-so-docile EPO will gladly oblige when companies like Microsoft lie about the legality of their industrial espionage operations, masked as “clown” computing (and other buzzwords)

  24. Coming Soon: EPO Series on Lawlessness

    Some time soon we’ll start an important series about the EPO, seeing that the management of the EPO is panicking and trying to put out the fire created by prior ones (more on that shortly)
