This Past Week the Linux Foundation Ran a Massive Misinformation Campaign in Texas and It Paid Media/Publishers to Repeat Lies/Spin
The so-called 'Linux' Foundation is promoting or defending software patents; to make matters worse, it continues its Microsoft greenwashing campaign, it's openwashing mass surveillance, and it is paying so-called 'journalists' to play along

Making Gemini Better and Helping It Grow Even Faster
My viewpoint on how Gemini communities can encourage more people not only to join Geminispace (Gemini has just made it into Linux Magazine) but also to stay there
[Meme] Fireside Chat With EPO Management
The imposter EPO President António Campinos loves having his scripted “fireside chats” during Christmas; now in summertime he struggles to show any signs of peace because it’s crystal clear that the EPO has set fire to the EPC and work atmosphere is up in flames

[Meme] EPO All Backwards: Are National Delegates and the Administrative Council Just Puppets of the Office They're Meant to Govern?
Next week the overseeing body of the EPO has a chance to prove it’s no longer subservient to the people it was supposed to regulate and control; it’s all backwards at the EPO, so crime is encouraged (for profit) and never punished for
2,120 EPO Workers Sign Petition to the National Delegates, Who Can Put an End to EPO Abuses (But Repeatedly Fail to Do So)
There’s a considerable amount of pushback against António Campinos with his ludicrous policies; staff does not want him or his policies
[Meme] You Cannot Protest Because...
Mr. ‘social dialogue’ ‘very nice guy’ António Campinos failed to fulfill the peace mission or attain the calm he was assigned to deliver 4 years ago; the EPO is still in a state of crisis, but will national representatives care? Will they bag more bribes for not caring?
EPO Staff at The Hague Complains of New Pressure Tactics and Survey Shows Less than 10% Think Office Policies Serve the EPO's Interests
With only a few days left before national representatives meet in Munich to discuss the future of the Office it's important to understand that they totally ignore the interests of Europe, the EPO's staff, and science/technology; today we examine the sentiments of people based in The Netherlands, who are exceedingly unhappy about the direction their employer (EPO) has taken

[Meme] Council Says...
The Administrative Council of the EPO must be kidding itself if it thought replacing Benoît Battistelli with his friend António Campinos (and his unqualified or unsuitably unqualified friends from Alicante) would set the EPO on a route to improvement
Selected Slides From Technologia's EPO Staff Survey (2022 Compared to Prior Years)
In spite of the lack of media coverage, EPO insiders (mostly people who have worked at the EPO for quite a while) see the downward spiral in patent quality and they do not trust the management
EPO Staff Survey's Preliminary Results Published (Almost 2,000 Staff Surveyed), António Campinos Less Trustworthy Than Benoît Battistelli at Similar Points in Their Terms
At long last, after a couple of months in the making, the staff survey of the EPO is out (not the one controlled by EPO management with push-polling and 'trick questions')
