OIN-Controlled Media Puff Pieces
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
Summary: The Open Invention Network (OIN) does not exist to serve the Free software community but to work against it; the latest joining (AWS) proves this
THE original leader of OIN was a legal head who had come from IBM and the current one is a bigwig who played tennis with elite banksters. These people understand the word “community” just as well as the Linux Foundation understands Linux (spoiler: it rejects Linux! It only uses the word/brand).
“Well, “sjvn” even defames the founder of the GNU/Linux operating system because he’s not the one paying his salary.”Steven Vaughan-Nichols (sjvn), in turn, works for ZDNet, which is bankrolled by IBM, Microsoft, and their front group Linux Foundation, hence it also became the go-to propaganda front of OIN and LOT Networks [1, 2]. “sjvn” is their current (first to ‘report’) mouthpiece, always producing the seminal puff pieces for them (aside from the press releases). He did not disappoint them this week, nor did this insanely dumb piece entitled Amazon joins Open Invention Network to keep its Linux patents safe. As we noted in Daily Links yesterday, “[t]here’s no such thing as “Linux patents”; lies and distortions from OIN are being perpetuated by clueless people” (as explained in the video above).
These people are parrots for large corporations with a lot of software patents they don’t wish to give up on. They’re not serving the community of developers. Well, “sjvn” even defames the founder of the GNU/Linux operating system because he’s not the one paying sjvn’s salary. █

Pensions Provider Unpaid by Sirius
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
Summary: Sirius ‘Open Source’ is unable to cope with basic legal requirements such as sending payslips to staff (this hasn’t been done for months already!) and such issues have gone on for almost 4 years already
THE company I left just less than a week ago had left my wife and I chasing very basic stuff like pensions and payslips. In hindsight, we ought to have left earlier. The company was dysfunctional for years already.
The video above goes through yesterday’s publication, which took a lot of time to piece together as it involved more than 3 years’ (worth of) E-mails and even some photographs of mail. Those were later carefully redacted. In the above video I go through the same using words whilst adding some much-needed context. █
