BitCoin “value has shrunk by more than 70%,” The Times reported. Weeks earlier the cryptocurrencies ‘expert’ Sheela Zemlin said this (propping up her bubble at the expense of its many imminent victims):
Summary: The money-obsessed Sheela Microsoft gave a public panel talk earlier this summer, apparently in April 26-28, i.e. around the time of the cryptocalypse that happened just weeks later — the time the pyramid schemes were collapsing (many empty seats in her talk by the way; only 21 views in YouTube after 3 months; maybe clickfraud Spamnil can help fake/game these numbers with the botfarms as his videos have 90-95% fake ‘views’); few people are aware of Jim's Microsoft-connected wife (a glaring conflict of interest for the Linux Foundation), who is promoting financial scams based on misinformation/disinformation, just like her husband

[Meme] Fraud Seems Standard to Standard Life
Sirius ‘Open Source’ has embezzled and defrauded staff; now it is being protected (delaying and stonewalling tactics) by those who helped facilitate the robbery
3 Months to Progress Pension Fraud Investigations in the United Kingdom
Based on our experiences and findings, one simply cannot rely on pension providers to take fraud seriously (we’ve been working as a group on this); all they want is the money and risk does not seem to bother them, even when there’s an actual crime associated with pension-related activities
36,000 Soon
Techrights is still growing; in WordPress alone (not the entire site) we’re fast approaching 36,000 posts; in Gemini it’s almost 45,500 pages and our IRC community turns 15 soon
Contrary to What Bribed (by Microsoft) Media Keeps Saying, Bing is in a Freefall and Bing Staff is Being Laid Off (No, Chatbots Are Not Search and Do Not Substitute Web Pages!)
Chatbots/chaffbot media noise (chaff) needs to be disregarded; Microsoft has no solid search strategy, just lots and lots of layoffs that never end this year (Microsoft distracts shareholders with chaffbot hype/vapourware each time a wave of layoffs starts, giving financial incentives for publishers to not even mention these; right now it’s GitHub again, with NDAs signed to hide that it is happening)
Full RMS Talk ('A Tour of Malicious Software') Uploaded 10 Hours Ago
The talk is entitled "A tour of malicious software, with a typical cell phone as example." Richard Stallman is speaking about the free software movement and your freedom. His speech is nontechnical. The talk was given on March 17, 2023 in Somerville, MA.

The Rumours Were Right: Many More Microsoft Layoffs This Week, Another Round of GitHub Layoffs
Another round of GitHub layoffs (not the first [1, 2]; won’t be the last) and many more Microsoft layoffs; this isn’t related to the numbers disclosed by Microsoft back in January, but Microsoft uses or misuses NDAs to hide what’s truly going on
All of Microsoft's Strategic Areas Have Layoffs This Year
Microsoft’s supposedly strategic/future areas — gaming (trying to debt-load or offload debt to other companies), so-called ‘security’, “clown computing” (Azure), and “Hey Hi” (chaffbots etc.) — have all had layoffs this year; it’s clear that the company is having a serious existential crisis in spite of Trump’s and Biden’s bailouts (a wave of layoffs every month this year) and is just bluffing/stuffing the media with chaffbots cruft (puff pieces/misinformation) to keep shareholders distracted, asking them for patience and faking demand for the chaffbots (whilst laying off Bing staff, too)

The World Wide Web is a Cesspit of Misinformation. Let's Do Something About It.
It would be nice to make the Web a safer space for information and accuracy (actual facts) rather than a “Safe Space” for oversensitive companies and powerful people who cannot tolerate criticism; The Web needs to become more like today's Gemini, free of corporate influence and all other forms of covert nuisance

Civil Liberties Threatened Online and Offline
A “society of sheeple” (a term used by Richard Stallman last week in his speech) is being “herded” online and offline; the video covers examples both online and offline, the latter being absence of ATMs or lack of properly-functioning ATMs (a growing problem lately, at least where I live)

[Meme] Money Deducted in Payslips, But Nothing in Pensions
Sirius ‘Open Source’ has stolen money from staff (in secret)

The Corporate Media is Not Reporting Large-Scale Microsoft Layoffs (Too Busy With Chaffbot Puff Pieces), Leaks Required to Prove That More Layoffs Are Happening
Just as we noted days ago, there are yet more Microsoft layoffs, but the mainstream media gets bribed to go “gaga” over vapourware and chaffbots (making chaff like “Bill Gates Says” pieces) instead of reporting actual news about Microsoft
Sirius 'Open Source' Pensiongate: Time to Issue a Warrant of Arrest and Extradite the Fake 'Founder' of Sirius
Sirius ‘Open Source’ is collapsing, but that does not mean that it can dodge accountability for crimes (e.g. money that it silently stole from its staff since at least 12 years ago)
