Unethical Advertising, Published as So-called ‘Articles’, in CNX Software
This morning (top of page):
Summary: As we noted earlier this year, the CNX team is looking for money in the wrong places

LibreOffice Conference 2022, As Before, Puts the Keynotes on Sale (the Rich Buy Influence, the Price Doubles)
The raw document as just advertised
Summary: Discrimination against the community; talks and mentions are based on money, not merit ($2000 has become $4000 in just one year)

UPC Deceit
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
Summary: Today’s video runs through the typical (weekly) lies from Team UPC — lies that are very easy to debunk; Team UPC not only drafted the thing but also looks to profit from it while misleading politicians and bribing publishers to spread intentionally misleading statements (lies)
THE FIGHT AGAINST European software patents is still going on. We’re making small wins, but the war isn’t over. It’s always far from over because the lobbyists have deep pockets and endless ambition, patience, zeal. Each little battle counts and catastrophic reactions (or panic) are indicative of gains. Like meltdowns we see from EPO management and Team UPC…
We keep pushing. We need the same persistence and perseverance as those rogue lobbyists. The facts and the laws are on our side, not theirs.
Yesterday we published annotated screenshots of lies and fake news from Team UPC, an alliance that propped up Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos to lessen the quality of EPO-granted patents. Their objective is to increase the scope of patents without the required changes to law/s. Then they hope to replace the patent courts with their own kangaroo tribunals, wrongly presuming validity of European Patents, whose fast-declining quality means they’re not even compliant with the laws, notably EPC. █
“When asked by Ars, the EPO’s spokesperson mentioned the imminent arrival of the unitary patent system as an important reason for revising the EPO’s internal rules…”
–Article by Dr. Glyn Moody (notice that they speak of imminent arrival more than six years ago

UPC: Turning Patent Lawyers Into Liars and the Media Into Their Money-Grabbing Megaphone (Platform for Fake News)
Team UPC is inciting to break the law
Summary: The above 26 screenshots (with necessary annotation added) hopefully illuminate the degree of deceit, manipulation, bribery and distortion of public discourse (fake news and advocacy of patently unlawful activities)

EPO Attention-Shifting
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
Summary: epo.org has been turned into a non-stop propaganda machine of Benoît Battistelli and António Campinos because the EPO routinely breaks the law; it’s rather tasteless that while Ukrainians are dying the EPO’s mob exploits Ukraine for PR purposes
THERE is a crisis in EPOnia, but insiders can see that a lot better than outsiders because there’s a PR onslaught — pardon the pun — trying to pretend all is normal. Those with deep pockets (money unlawfully earned) can expend some ‘resources’ on Public Relations (PR). EPOnia is run by mobsters and they pocket a lot of money at everyone else’s expense. More on that will follow in the next post and video.
We’ve only just published this article and cartoon about the EPO’s connections to Belarus. The above video concerns the EPO’s noise-centric response (warning: epo.org link) to scandals, as explained in the annotated screenshot below.
The EPO’s noise section with annotation (and four faces of liars and frauds added)
The video ends with discussion about the UPC illegalities (kangaroo court for European software patents and more; even former EPO executives state that it's illegal, this new comment is one of many!) and reactions to inappropriate behaviour by Campinos (some say he should resign or be fired). █

Jim Zemlin’s Wife is Funded by Puppies (Microsoft)
!['I think we just don't care that much [about Microsoft] anymore ... They used to be our big rival, but now it's kind of like kicking a puppy.' - Jim Zemlin](http://techrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/zemlin-puppt.png)
It pays off to shine the shoes of moneyed interests (no need to code anything or actually use Linux):
Summary: Jim Zemlin — like his wife — is bagging millions from Microsoft, but that’s clearly a conflict of interest for the Linux Foundation

Linux Foundation Almost Never Uses Open Source
Mixed messsage from the Linux Foundation
Summary: The Linux Foundation uses proprietary software (look where they hire and take money from) and be sure they’re probably not even aware of it
[Meme] What Managers (Really) Mean by Acting Professionally
Looks, not substance
Summary: The myth of 'professionalism' needs to die along with the façade of conformity as prerequisite for employment (Linus Torvalds can work just fine in a bathrobe in his own home)
