Summary: We're going to recognise the demise of the Web (along with social control media and bursting of the "clown" bubble) as we focus more on exposing corruption, resisting censorship, and moving videos away from the grip of pseudo-'free' video hosting (no such thing)

THE past few days have been calm but very productive. After the EPO strike we took the liberty to regroup and organise better for the future. I've moved everything to a new 'office' (actually a dining room) and I set up a new machine, which will likely to be part of the future recording pipeline.



"EU authorities and EPO administrators became a hub of corruption when it comes to patent law."Meanwhile, the EPO is bracing for another survey that will almost certainly expose the degree/extent of the EPO crisis. "On Wednesday morning," the union wrote this week, "invitations (as well as reminders) for the Technologia survey will be automatically emailed to ALL active SUEPO members as well as non-SUEPO members who have signed up to participate in the survey."

We expect that almost 0% of staff will express a positive opinion. Maybe literally zero, not just "almost" zero. It did happen before. EPO management is just about as corrupt as Team UPC, which is closely connected to it. Read all the comments here. EU authorities and EPO administrators became a hub of corruption when it comes to patent law. Same in trademarks. I simply cannot believe this is happening in Europe!

"After Wednesday we'll be publishing more articles again."Anyway, we're going to focus a lot more on Gemini and we'll explore better ways to get the message out there; social control media is approaching "end of life" (even Facebook itself has reported loss of active users) and the Web is increasingly broken. I give some examples of that in the video above.

As we've just noted in Daily Links, some GNU/Linux distros belatedly realise that there's no such thing as "free" hosting and Microsoft GitHub is a force of occupation. There's nothing free about it and it certainly doesn't respect freedom, either.

After Wednesday we'll be publishing more articles again. Until then we might focus on giving greater exposure to newly-released (since last night) LibrePlanet 2022 videos.
