With Google Workspace dethroning Office 365 in the cloud productivity markets, Windows needing a complete re-write since a decade ago and their consequent monopoly on exploits and ransomware attacks in the PC and Server markets, much is riding on Azure’s ability to dominate the cloud infrastructure space as Microsoft has done with the OS, productivity, and server spaces before. One consequence of Microsoft’s dependence on Azure is that Microsoft can post its best quarter ever and investors will get spooked if Azure’s revenue growth slips in the slightest. It also doesn’t help when their CFO Amy Hood admitted that Azure slowing revenue growth still performed better than she anticipated. “Forty-five percent was both better than we expected and driven by consumption growth, which is very good,” Hood said in an interview. “Demand is healthy. The overall execution was better than I expected.” -Amy_Hood Unlike before though, Microsoft isn’t starting at the top as it did in the OS, Productivity, and Server spaces. Instead, Microsoft was 2 years late to the market and has to compete with the likes of AWS instead and claw market-share away from them. And this is bad news for Microsoft as competing with other tech monopolies in established markets is not something that they’re especially good at; they aren’t the same company that mothballed IBM all those years ago. The success of Microsoft’s business model relies mostly on them being among the first_movers of infant markets, becoming the industry standard, and entrenching its products throughout said industry; lock-in if you will. In turn, their products no longer need to compete on quality, cease to evolve, and stagnate no differently than the human race as they have no ecological competition. Apparently, the law of natural selection even applies to markets. In doing this, Microsoft’s frustrating, insecure, and unstable architecture renders users change and technology averse, traumatized if you will, and consequently vying to keep everything the same. Further, they can artificially inflate the switching costs of moving to their competition, derail migration efforts to their competition even if it’s better technology, and maintain dominance. Put simply, Microsoft’s products and services create a moat of sorts that keeps users in and competition out while allowing them to compete with themselves. Mitigating their defenses is much easier said than done. Being a first-mover that optimizes their solutions for lock-in is a double whammy for Microsoft and no one seems to care; hence why they do it. This happens to be why Windows, Active Directory, Server, and Exchange are still in play today despite being legacy, expensive, complex, frustrating, and unstable for users and admins alike. It’s simply too ingrained and users/admins are rendered apathetic to change. While Microsoft can’t exactly take credit for this brilliant aspect of their business model, they can absolutely laugh all the way to the bank at anyone who is criticizing them about their quality woes without realizing that they don’t even have to compete on quality; at least until Azure became their last hope. One immediate problem with their tactics though is that they don’t bode well in markets that are already well-established nor is it easy to re-structure a company to engineer for quality when it’s structured to maximize lock-in. Although absolute genius goes into engineering products for lock-in, especially when realizing that all of their engineers are trying to do their best/ethical job, this heroin-esque approach to engineering is systemic and cannot be turned off like a light switch; quite the contrary. Any manager at Microsoft can and will affirm that Microsoft is a big ship to steer and such a restructuring could take years to fully implement. As such and much like their founder Bill Gates, Microsoft isn’t equipped for fair competition, hence why they lose their ass in markets they’re late to, nor are they known for being a good sport at that. And as they have shown repeatedly with cloud, mobile, social, gaming, and laptop markets, Microsoft is consistently a fish out of water when entering well-established markets because they are not optimized to compete on quality which is the only card that a new entrant has to play against the status quo; exhibit Zoom and Slack. All of which stacks the deck further against Microsoft’s ambitions with Azure. To highlight this and although Microsoft is doing great things in the cloud space with Office 365, they were late to the market, ironically among the last to host their own services, and are in second place while losing further ground to Google Workspace. The same is true of Azure in that it was 2 years behind AWS to the cloud infrastructure market. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Azure_curve⦈_ And although Microsoft and analysts claim Azure to be second in the cloud infrastructure space from a revenue perspective, Microsoft has yet to corroborate this with data and is refusing to post individual performance metrics of Azure after a decade of production. Based on what little we’ve seen though, AWS revenue is growing while Azure revenue growth is shrinking which is the opposite of what Azure needs to do. Meanwhile, AWS revenue grew 9% in the last year. No matter where you look, you can find Microsoft consistently omitting all key performance indicators (KPIs) worthy of mention concerning Azure financials or usage; MAU, P&L, CPA, ARPA, RPE, etc; nada. Meanwhile, you’ll find a whole host of ambiguous metrics such as vague growth rates, total user counts instead of monthly use statistics, and containers like the Intelligent Cloud averaging various offerings together. All of which takes significantly more effort than simply reporting individual performance and is frankly hard to keep under wraps for 12 years. Meanwhile, AWS has no problem reporting on AWS’s performance; they have nothing to hide. Oddly enough though and while it’s even their policy to never report on KPIs, they definitely track them and occasionally post them but only if they exude a dominant_market_presence. In doing this though, Microsoft has a tell so to speak. Put simply, when products are doing fantastically, Microsoft will break protocol from time to time and report KPIs. But when products are doing horribly, Microsoft seems to hide behind their bogus policy so as to keep KPIs under lock and key while sugar-coating poor performance with ambiguities instead. In doing this though, this being not reporting common usage and financial metrics while further hiding individual performance in the Intelligent Cloud, Microsoft has made it impossible for analysts to evaluate where Microsoft stands in the fold compared to AWS or Google Cloud. Ironically, the assessments declaring Azure to be in second place among cloud providers are speculative at best. “Muddy waters make it easy to catch fish.” — Chinese Proverb With all of this in mind, it’s easy to see why Microsoft needs investors to believe that Azure’s position is strong and why Microsoft is working so hard to keep Azure’s performance under wraps; that dog don’t hunt. Although I can only speculate, it seems as if the KPIs surrounding Azure do not exhibit dominance or a route to dominance that Microsoft needs to project in order for share prices to keep rising while its stagnant revenue growth serves as further evidence of this. If said KPIs did exhibit Azure’s dominance or even a route to dominance, then Microsoft would have no reason to be shy and release them in the face of increasing scrutiny of their persistent refusal to report on these metrics. And their refusal to post these metrics while muddying the waters with pointless statistics/rates and odd financial containers instead isn’t exactly a good omen so far as the health of Azure is concerned; if not symptomatic of the contrary. Put simply, if Azure truly had a big ol’ dong then Microsoft would have thrown it on the table by now rather than hiding it behind excuses and obscure metrics for over a decade. To be fair though, Microsoft could indeed be shy about Azure’s performance for the past 12 years. Azure could be doing great for all I know. What I do know is that omission is the most common form of lying with statistics, followed by obfuscating matters with bogus metrics, and Microsoft doesn’t have an incentive to resort to these squid and ink tactics if Azure is in great shape. All stars go through an inflationary phase before they go supernova. You’re welcome to believe otherwise though. You’re welcome to believe that the 71.355_billion Microsoft spent on stock_buybacks since March of 2018 were made to benefit the shareholders too; but that’s for another day. █ ⢛⣻⠻⡻⢿⠿⡟⣿⢛⡻⡿⠿⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠷⠾⡶⠶⢶⢶⢶⠿⣶⠶⡶⣾⡷⡾⣿⢿⢿⣿⢿⢿⠿⡿⡿⣿⢿⢿⢿⠿⠿⣿⡿⣿⢿⢿⡿⡿⢿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⣶⣾⣾⣶⣶⣷⣶⣿⣶⣷⣾⣿⣶⣿⣶⣾⣾⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣷⣶⣿⣷⣶⣾⣶⣿⣶⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣯⣽⣭⣯⣽⣯⣿⣭⣿⣽⣫⣿⣯⣿⣭⣿⣯⣿⣿⣭⣿⣯⣭⣽⣿⣿⣭⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣼⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣯⣙⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⡏⠉⠉⢹⠉⠉⠉⣿⠀⠀⢸⡿⠿⠿⣿⠀⠀⠀⡿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻ ⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡏⠉⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣗⣹ ⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠉⠉⢹⡏⠉⠉⣿⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⢺ ⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡏⠉⠉⢹⡿⠿⠿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣼ ⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣮⣺ ⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⠋⠉⠙⡿⠿⠿⢿⡿⠿⠿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢽ ⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣯⣿⡇⢹ ⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣺ ⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣷⣾⠿⣿⢷⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⢿⡷⣾⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣷⣷⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣷⣧⣾⣷⣷⣾⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣴⣿⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⡷⢿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣷⣾⣾⣿⣿⡷⣿⢿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡟⡟⢿⡟⢻⣿⢛⢻⢛⡛⠛⢻⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 385 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2021/07/31/following-court-orders/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2021/07/31/following-court-orders/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.31.21⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ ✐ For_17_Days_(and_Counting)_António_Campinos_Has_Failed_to_Respond_to_Call_for Compliance_With_the_Law⠀✐ Posted in Europe, Patents at 11:11 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Jorge has raised a little monster/mobster 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Angela scared Dwight: I'll just ignore the courts (that I do not control); EPO Staff⦈ An ongoing assault_on_the_Rule_of_Law Summary: Team Campinos has been so arrogant and so evasive that there’s no indication (yet) that it will follow court orders (Willy ‘Guillaume’ Minnoye openly bragged about ignoring court orders and he's_still_cheering_for_the EPO's_abuses); therefore, staff of the EPO takes collective action THE EPO is governed by thugs [1, 2] who bully people far more qualified than themselves. They bully_them_with_impunity. When courts finally rule on disputes — even if nearly_a_decade_late — the bullies refuse to actually execute the rulings. We’ve seen that many times over the years; sometimes they merely pretend to have complied. “Below we reproduce portions of a letter circulated among staff earlier today (someone has leaked a copy to us).”Remember that these are the same bullies who pressure judges to allow European_software_patents while euphemising these as “CII”, “4IR”, “Hey Hi” (AI), “simulations” and so on… This time around staff of the EPO is organising against the bullies and today (weekend, sure!) some instructions are being circulated to increase pressure for compliance. Of note: The “Mafia” that runs the Office refuse to even speak about compliance! Just as we noted a couple of days ago. Where’s the media coverage? Why aren’t journalists applying any sort of pressure by informing the public? Has Europe’s media become a lapdog complicit_with_these_abuses? Below we reproduce portions of a letter circulated among staff earlier today (someone has leaked a copy to us). The introductory part contains sufficient background/context, we hope. 31 July 2021 su21022cp – 0.2.1/5.1/5.2 § Applications to intervene on strike regulations pending cases⠀➾ In its 132nd session, the Administrative Tribunal of the International Labour Organization (ILOAT) expressed in Judgments 4430, 4432, 4433, 4434, 4435 that the entire legal framework intended to curb strikes in the EPO is unlawful. The paper “Strike!” provides a summary of the judgments. In a letter dated 14 July 2021 to Mr Campinos, SUEPO requested him to execute the judgments and that the outcome of the judgments is applied to all. Until now, our requests remain unanswered and the EPO communication department only offers thundering silence. In order to safeguard your rights, we strongly_recommend you to “join” other pending cases by filing applications to intervene. This paper explains how. We recommend to file_electronically_at_the_latest on_8_August. I. Case AT-5 5167: Mr Battistelli abused his power by not organising the UNITY ballot On 16 May 2014, the Central Staff Committee (CSC) notified Mr Battistelli of a call for strike by a group of staff members calling themselves the “UNITY initiative”. Strike actions were foreseen on 25 and/or 26 June 2014, which would have coincided with the meeting of the Administrative Council at which the extension of Mr Battistelli’s appointment was to be discussed. The initiators had clearly designated the CSC as their representative or interlocutor. Nevertheless, Mr Battistelli found reasons in Communiqué 54 not to organize the ballot within the time limit. The planned strike action never took place. If you were an active EPO employee at the time of the relevant facts, you can join the above case by filing an application to intervene. Case AT-5 5167 was filed by two complainants: • Complainant 1 was an EPO staff representative at the relevant time of the facts, and • Complainant 2 was an EPO staff member. [redacted] II. Case AT-5 5179: strike deductions of 1/20th are unlawful and punitive Since the entry into force of CA/D 5/13 on 1 July 2013, the existing Articles 63 and 65 ServRegs were amended by setting deductions for unauthorised absence and strike at 1/20th of the monthly net remuneration per day. Until then, a deduction of 1/30th per day had been applied in both cases. If you were an EPO employee on strike during the period of July 2013 until April 2016 and suffered from strike deductions of 1/20th per day, you can join the above case by filing an application to intervene. [redacted] III. Case AT-5 5244: the SUEPO called strike of 2 July 2013 was lawful Back in 2013, on 27 June, after a favourable ballot1, SUEPO published its “action plan for the summer 2013”. One of the actions planned by SUEPO was a picket strike which would take place on 2 July 2013 if the Administrative Council adopted the proposal2 of Mr Battistelli for a new legal framework governing the right to strike The proposal was adopted by the Administrative Council on 27 June 2013 in decision CA/D 5/13, which was to enter into force on 1 July 2013. In his Communiqué of 28 June 2013 the Vice-President of DG4 (Mr Topić at the material time) announced that as from 1 July 2013, any industrial action which does not fulfil the conditions laid down in the aforementioned new provisions will not be considered as a strike, with the result that participation in such action was liable to be considered as unauthorised absence. On 2 July 2013 the strike announced by SUEPO took place. Employees who did participate received a threatening letter from Principal Director Human Resources (Ms Bergot at the material time) shortly afterwards informing them that, as that strike did not comply with the new rules, they were considered to have been absent without authorisation and a deduction from their pay would be made accordingly. If you were an EPO employee who went on strike on 2 July 2013 and your absence was considered as unauthorised, you can join the above case by filing an application to intervene. _____________ 1

by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link | md5sum ab5b8a4ae65a514a3fdcc1898424c8e0 http://techrights.org/videos/linspire-got-even-worse.webm Summary: The brand “Linspire” was brought back, but the agenda seems to be more or less the same, namely pushing proprietary software and serving Microsoft’s commercial agenda (in ‘Linux’ clothing) FOURTEEN years ago we called for a boycott of Linspire for its patent collusion with Microsoft. The same happened with Xandros, which would buy Linspire and temporarily push Freespire. That failed just like Novell and Turbolinux. Where are they today? Nowhere! Making alliances with Microsoft always leads to major blunders… and eventually commercial failure. “That failed just like Novell and Turbolinux.”Well, the name “Linspire” has been repurposed. A few years ago this_strange_comeback_was_noticed with a worrisome slant — a Microsoft-centric “Linspire”, pushing Microsoft vendor lock-in, surveillance etc. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Microsoft and Linspire 2007⦈ Trying the same thing all over again is assurance of failure Not much has changed since then. Below we add two new links [1,2] (comments here; it’s boosted by_Microsoft_boosters who simultaneously_promote_other attacks_on_GNU/Linux) showing Linspire/Xandros as boosters of monopolies and surveillance, not just by Microsoft but also Google. That’s missing the whole point of GNU/Linux, pushing some sort of Microsoft-centric ChromeOS instead. They push Microsoft proprietary software out of the box (“With the Office 365 edition Bing will also be the default homepage and the default search engine in Google Chrome”) and brag about selling this. Whose agenda is served here? The issue is discussed in the video above. █ ______ 1. ⚓ Linspire-Based_Freespire_Announces_“Entirely_New_Direction”_With_Cloud Apps…⠀⇛ What started off as Lindows twenty years ago as an easy-to-use Linux-based operating system with great Wine integration and easy application support but then changed to Linspire following a Microsoft lawsuit has had quite a journey. PC/OpenSystems LLC revived Linspire after a multi-year gap following the closure of Xandros and since then it’s been a rather peculiar platform. Today they are now shifting focus once again. 2. ⚓ Roberto’s_Ramblings:_Linspires_new_direction_explained⠀⇛ For the past year we have internally at PC/OpenSystems LLC launched a project called CLOUD9. The aim of this project was to create an OS that utilized cloud apps in replacement of traditional desktop applications. Some of those manifested themselves into Xandros Cloud but we wanted to bring that to all of our desktop users. Some of the efforts were successful (Xandros Cloud Office 365 was our best seller for our education customers and some of our enterprise customers) But we wanted to make the best Cloud centric OS that we could. [...] Xandros OpenDesktop 2021 will come in two flavors. Standard Edition with all the Google services preinstalled and Office 365 edition which will utilize Microsofts web services. With the Office 365 edition Bing will also be the default homepage and the default search engine in Google Chrome. Both will ship with .NET Core, Powershell and Visual Studios Code. Local apps will include, Chrome, Video Player, Rhythmbox, games, Shotwell and Krita for image editing. Both editions of Xandros OpenDesktop will also include all the proprietary media codecs and DVD/Blu-Ray support ⠀⢸⡇⠘⠇⢸⠀⠘⠀⣤⠀⡇⢸⠀⡅⠈⠀⠁⠘⠀⠁⠀⠘⣀⣀⡂⠀⣀⣤⣘⠀⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⡌⠉⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠆⣰⣶⣶⣤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠛⠓⠶⢤⡄⣀⠉⠉⠀⠿⢿⠟⠏⠉ ⠀⠘⣃⣠⢃⣤⣤⢸⣤⡙⣴⣶⣾⡄⣶⣶⣶⣆⢰⣿⢻⣷⢸⣿⡹⠿⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣏⡁⠸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠄⠉⠉⠀⠀⠉⠁⣀⠀⠊⠉⠉⠀⠶⠦⣤⣄⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠂⠦⢤⡀⣈⠘ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⡇⣿⡇⠿⠗⢿⣿⣿⣟⢸⣿⢸⣿⡈⣛⣿⣷⡼⣿⡇⣿⡇⣿⣿⠉⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠈⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠘⠛⠲⠶⠦⠄⣤⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡌⣿⡇⣿⣧⣶⣿⢸⣿⢸⣿⠸⣿⣾⣿⠏⢿⣧⣿⠇⠻⢷⠿⠃⠿⠿⠀⠀⠛⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠉⠑⠂⠐⠤ ⠀⠀⠹⠿⠻⠇⡿⢇⡟⢃⠘⡛⠛⡃⢘⠉⡌⠉⠀⡈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣿⣯⣿⣿⣧⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣇⠀⡇⠀⡇⢸⡇⢸⠀⠗⠀⡆⢸⠀⡇⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⠀⣗⠀⡇⠀⡇⢸⠀⣾⢈⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣤⣆⣀⣰⣀⣀⣀⣀⢀⠀⠀⢀⡀⡆⡇⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⡶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⠀⣿⠀⣧⠀⡅⢘⠀⢻⠈⠏⢿⠿⠟⢻⠿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣿⣷⡔⠀⠀⢹⣿⠉⠀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⠀⣿⠀⡷⠀⡇⢈⠀⠸⠀⡇⠸⠀⠀⢸⠀⡇⠰⢸⣻⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣷⡿⢠⣿⣿⣶⣤⡏⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠯⠀⠿⠀⡗⠀⡇⠸⡆⠀⠀⠃⠈⠀⠂⢸⠀⠁⢸⢸⠀⡏⡇⢰⢰⠈⠁⠀⡄⠐⡉⠍⣤⣾⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⠏⠁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢫⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢠⡄⢶⠀⣠⠀⡅⠀⡇⢰⡇⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⡇⢸⢸⠀⡇⠃⢸⢸⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠁⠀⡿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣁⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⡆⠀ ⠘⠇⢸⠀⠁⠀⣿⠀⡇⠘⡇⢸⠀⡀⢀⠀⡇⢸⠀⡇⢸⠘⠀⡇⠀⢸⢸⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⣳⣿⠂⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⡇⠀ ⠀⠀⠸⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⣧⠘⡇⢸⠀⣧⢸⡆⣯⢰⠀⡇⢸⠀⡄⡇⢀⢸⢸⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⣘⡻⣿⠿⣿⠿⣛⣻⢿⣛⣻⠿⣻⡿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⡀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⣘⡀⠀⢀⣀⠀⣃⣀⡀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠃⣀ ⠀⠀⢰⠀⢸⠀⣿⠀⣿⠀⡇⢸⠀⣿⢸⡇⢻⠸⠆⡇⢸⠀⡇⡇⢸⢸⠘⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⣿⡇⣿⣧⣿⢸⣏⡿⢾⣿⢻⡇⣿⡇⣿⣿⣷⢸⣟⡃⠀⠿⢹⣿⣼⡏⣿⣶⣿⢹⣧⠋⣿⡇⠀⡇⢀⣀⠰⣿ ⠀⠀⠈⠀⢘⠀⣿⠀⣿⠀⡇⢸⠀⣿⠨⡇⢸⠘⡆⡇⢸⠀⡇⡇⢸⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣀⣿⡇⣿⢿⣿⢠⡝⣿⣾⣿⠛⡁⣿⡇⣿⣿⣷⢸⣟⣷⡆⣰⡿⠃⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⢸⡿⢰⣿⢀⡤⠗⢻⠁⢀⣿ ⠀⠀⢰⠀⠸⠀⢿⠀⣿⠀⡇⢸⠀⣿⠀⡇⢸⠀⡇⡇⢸⠀⡇⡇⢸⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⣧⢸⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠛⠃⠛⠘⠛⠈⠛⠛⣙⣛⣰⣇⣛⣣⣛⣛⣛⣜⣛⣧⣧⡛⠛⠛⠈⠛⠋⠀⠙⢛⣁⣾⣋⣩⣂⣁⣾⣶⣾⣿ ⠀⠀⢸⠀⢰⠀⣿⠀⣿⠀⡇⢸⠀⣿⠀⡇⢸⠀⡇⣷⢸⠀⡇⠇⢸⢸⠀⠄⠀⠀⣿⢸⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⣠⡴⠞⠉⣿⣙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢸⠀⢸⠀⣹⠀⣿⠀⡇⢸⠀⣿⠀⡇⢸⠀⡇⣿⢸⠀⡇⡆⢸⢸⠀⡇⠀⠀⣿⣾⢸⢀⣀⢠⡄⠀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣀⡀⠀⣗⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⠾⠃⠁⠀⢠⣄⣍⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢸⠀⢸⠀⢹⠀⣿⠀⡇⢸⠀⣿⠀⡇⢸⠀⡇⣿⢸⠀⡇⠁⢸⠘⠀⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣸⢿⣺⠻⡇⠀⡇⣿⢸⢺⣶⡇⠀⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠠⣠⣶⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢀⠘⠂⠘⠀⠘⢠⠛⠀⢣⠘⠀⢻⠀⠃⡜⠀⠃⠛⠘⠀⠃⠀⠘⠀⡄⠃⠀⠀⠛⠘⠘⡌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢛⣻⣟⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣟⡛⠛⠛⠛⡿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠈⡀⠀⢸⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠻⣷⣶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠁⠀⢸⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠻⢿⢶⣦⡀⡀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡞⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠙⢻ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣿⣀⣀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⡶⢛⡛ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣨⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠑ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⢸⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⢠⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⡈⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⡄⠀⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣇⠀⠀⣷⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡿⠀⢀⡶⠾⣿⢿⣿⢿⣿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠛⠻⣿⡿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⠿⠧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⣇⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣸⣿⢸⣿⣾⣿⢰⣿⢻⣷⢸⣿⢻⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⢻⣿⢱⣿⣻⣧⣼⡟⣿⡆⣾⡟⣿⡦⢶⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⢨⣻⣿⣦⢸⣿⢾⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⢿⣿⡶⣲⣿⣣⣿⡇⣿⡇⣖⣼⡿⣥⣸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣦⣀⣿⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣻⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⢸⣿⢹⣿⢸⣿⣼⡿⢸⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣾⣿⢱⣿⣷⣏⡻⣷⣿⠇⣾⣿⣾⣿⣸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣄⠀⣿⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⣇⣴⣾⣶⣦⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠲⠦⣄⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣄⣀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⣇⣠⣼⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣀⠀⠀⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢑⣾⣭⣙⠒⠀⢬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣟⡷⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀⢸ ⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⢇⠇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣟⡿⢷⡛⠻⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 885 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2021/07/31/many-gemini-capsules/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2021/07/31/many-gemini-capsules/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.31.21⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ ✐ Over_1,500_(Known/Unorphaned)_Gemini_Capsules_and_Over_160,000_Page_Requests in_gemini.techrights.org_During_July⠀✐ Posted in Site_News at 7:51 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Summary: Techrights is expanding at gemini:// (Gemini space) and over 1,500 capsules are reported to have been found (less_than_4_months_ago_it_was_about 1,000) THE most exciting development on the Internet, at least from our possibly ‘narrow’ perspective, is Gemini protocol. Sure, we may be biased, especially as we’re a participant in the migration to Web alternatives (as in, substitutes that can replace the bloated World Wide Web to some degree, at least some of the time). Our_July_statistics_for_Gemini were published around midnight (0:00) of the last day of the month. By at the actual end of the month we’ve served over 160k page requests in gemini:// (in one month, a new all-time record); we can’t help but wonder which capsules get the most traffic as it’s not impossible that among them it is in fact gemini.techrights.org, which remains the largest one, according to these August 1st statistics.

07.31.21⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ ✐ Raw:_Elodie_Bergot_Breaking_the_Law_by_Threatening_Against_the_Exercise_of Fundamental_Rights⠀✐ Posted in Europe, Patents at 10:26 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Summary: Over the years we saw a number of rude letters from Elodie_Bergot, the grossly under-qualified spouse of a friend of Vichyite Benoît_Battistelli; most of these we never published (we already have these and can always publish if the need arises), but those paranoid and insecure “Mafia”-like ‘cabal’ need to be exposed for the mobsters they are; for nearly a decade they’ve illegally bullied EPO staff in clear_violation_of_the_law (and for over 3 years António Campinos has kept those bullies on board); why does Europe do_nothing and why is it never holding high-profile abusers accountable (only_low-level facilitators)? Is it because the_EU_too_is_being_infiltrated_by_them?

The_Death_of_Freenode_Would_Be_Freenode’s_Own_Fault⠀✐ Posted in Site_News at 7:03 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link | md5sum e32cc13838b6ede478cf3943fdf8b6bc http://techrights.org/videos/the-death-of-freenode.webm Summary: Freenode is going dark and now it’s asking people to create accounts at IRC.com (just to get back into the network that they may have already occupied for decades) as if Freenode owns “IRC” as a whole 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Freenode on netsplit.de⦈ AS we noted in an article_last night, the_size_of_Freenode_had_become_invisible_some_days_ago due to new restrictions. But using some heuristics it’s possible to see that the channels lost about 25% of their users in the past few days alone. The #techrights channel decreased from about 50-55 online users to just over 40. Channel occupancy in Freenode as a whole went down from 86k to 64k, so the ratio sort of matches. That’s down from 311,686 at the end of March, so a reduction by about 80% in just 4 months! “3 days ago when the network’s access requirements became a lot steeper it likely symbolised the beginning of the end of Freenode.”As explained in the video above, this harms_longtime_communities_in_Freenode and there seems to be no turnaround; all those additional restrictions and the database of users/ channels being flushed away without prior warning* would only reduce the incentive to retain (existing users/channels). They won’t attract new users this way, either. The imaginary target audience just isn’t there. They create more problems than solutions. They make IRC even harder. “Freenode has done this to itself with a string of awful, self-harming decisions.”3 days ago when the network’s access requirements became a lot steeper it likely symbolised the beginning of the end of Freenode. It’s not reliable_anymore (from a purely technical standpoint, never mind the_oddball 'politics'). On the upside, the running costs of Freenode will decrease significantly as a function of users moving away and the spam/abuse issue will go away on its own (no users, no abuse). Freenode has done this to itself with a string of awful, self-harming decisions. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Freenode:_Delete_channels;_Mass_bans;_Destroy_database; Require_account⦈_ ____ * This was a severe security issue. Anyone could, at least temporarily, just register as myself (same username) and then show up a logged in user with my name, exploiting such impersonation to gain access to systems through social engineering (people who think this is me and cannot prove otherwise). Moreover, it enabled existing channels to be hijacked by hostile parties. How could they not foresee this? It’s totally reckless; they’re careless about decades-long communities that thrived in the network until this year. ⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤

Just_say_no_to_Windows_11_by_taking_Linux_back_to_school with_Kubuntu_Focus_XE_laptop⠀⇛ While everyone is enjoying the beautiful summer weather, there is something quite terrifying for children on the horizon — school. Yeah, summer vacation will be over before they know it, and it is already time to do back-to-school shopping. While buying pencils and three-ring binders is boring, shopping for a new laptop for can be a lot of fun. Thankfully, students in 2021 don’t have to use an old-school Windows notebook like their dad or grandad. Instead, kids can use Linux to optimize their education. After all, Linux is more hip and cool than Windows 11 can ever be. To paraphrase now-deceased First Lady Nancy Reagan, children should “just say no” to waiting for a laptop running the upcoming Windows 11. o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ 3_Hours_Compiling_Of_Code_+_Q&A_I_Guess⠀⇛ A few weeks back I did a stream doing a base install of Gentoo so thought why not do a followup stream where we get a graphical environment installed. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ 14_Best_Free_Linux_News_Aggregators_(Updated_2021)⠀⇛ It’s been a long time since we covered news aggregators, and there’s been notable entrants and leavers to the scene. With regard to the leavers, Google Reader was discontinued in July 2013. And software like Newsbeuter, RSSOwl, Blogbridge, and Bloglines have been abandoned by their respective developers. Fortunately, there’s a number of great replacements that have filled the void. A news aggregator is software which collect news, weblog posts, and other information from the web so that they can be read in a single location for easy viewing. With the range of news sources available on the internet, news aggregators play an essential role in helping users to quickly locate breaking news. For individuals that read lots of weblogs, a news aggregator makes keeping track of them effortless, and particularly useful if the weblogs are only updated occasionally. There are a number of different file formats which information publishers use. The most frequently ones are RSS and Atom. RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication. It is a defined standard based on XML with the specific purpose of delivering updates to web-based content. In other words, RSS is a Web content syndication format. You can access our feed here. Using this standard, webmasters provide headlines and fresh content in a succinct manner. Meanwhile, consumers use RSS readers and news aggregators to collect and monitor their favorite feeds in one centralized program or location. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Napkin_Problem_15:_Increase_HTTP_Performance_by_Fitting_In the_Initial_TCP_Slow_Start_Window⠀⇛ Did you know that if your site’s under ~12kb the first page will load significantly faster? Servers only send a few packets (typically 10) in the initial round-trip while TCP is warming up (referred to as TCP slow start). After sending the first set of packets, it needs to wait for the client to acknowledge it received all those packets. # ⚓ How_to_Install_MariaDB_Server_on_Rocky_Linux_8⠀⇛ MariaDB is a free and community-developed relational database system that is a compatible drop-in replacement for the hugely popular MySQL database management system. It was forked from MySQL after the original developers of MySQL expressed their misgivings with the acquisition of MySQL by Oracle. Since then, MariaDB is guaranteed to remain free and open source under the GNU license. # ⚓ Shell_script_to_monitor_MariaDB_replication_and_send_email alert⠀⇛ Here is a simple shell script to notify secondary read-only replica (slave) MariaDB server health status failure via email and push notification. Master-slave data replication allows you to copy databases to multiple MariaDB servers. It is useful for backup, data recovery, load balancing, and much more.

Beyond that, there’s a lot more cool stuff in progress that hasn’t been merged yet; look for that stuff next week and beyond. [...] The buttons that appear when you hover your cursor over entries in the Clipboard applet are no longer sometimes mis-positioned (Eugene Popov, Plasma 5.22.4) A System Tray popup that has been pinned open no longer closes unexpectedly when you open its configuration page (David Redondo, Plasma 5.22.4) Plasma Panels once again use the correct edge-specific theme graphics, when present (Obno Sim, Plasma 5.22.5) In the Plasma Wayland session, System Settings’ Shortcuts page no longer lists three “KWin” items; they now all have proper names (David Redondo, Plasma 5.23) When using a high DPI scale factor on X11 with the default Plasma scaling system (instead of native Qt scaling, which is used on Wayland and when manually setting PLASMA_USE_QT_SCALING=1), large Task Manager icons, System Tray icons and ToolButton icons all over the place are now displayed with the correct size! (me: Nate Graham, Frameworks 5.85). This is not the end; other things are still too small, but I am working on those too. o § Distributions⠀➾ # ⚓ Linspire-Based_Freespire_Announces_“Entirely_New_Direction” With_Cloud_Apps… [Ed: Well, talk about missing_the_whole point_of_GNU/Linux]⠀⇛ What started off as Lindows twenty years ago as an easy-to-use Linux-based operating system with great Wine integration and easy application support but then changed to Linspire following a Microsoft lawsuit has had quite a journey. PC/OpenSystems LLC revived Linspire after a multi-year gap following the closure of Xandros and since then it’s been a rather peculiar platform. Today they are now shifting focus once again. # ⚓ Roberto’s_Ramblings:_Linspires_new_direction_explained⠀⇛ For the past year we have internally at PC/ OpenSystems LLC launched a project called CLOUD9. The aim of this project was to create an OS that utilized cloud apps in replacement of traditional desktop applications. Some of those manifested themselves into Xandros Cloud but we wanted to bring that to all of our desktop users. Some of the efforts were successful (Xandros Cloud Office 365 was our best seller for our education customers and some of our enterprise customers) But we wanted to make the best Cloud centric OS that we could. [...] Xandros OpenDesktop 2021 will come in two flavors. Standard Edition with all the Google services preinstalled and Office 365 edition which will utilize Microsofts web services. With the Office 365 edition Bing will also be the default homepage and the default search engine in Google Chrome. Both will ship with .NET Core, Powershell and Visual Studios Code. Local apps will include, Chrome, Video Player, Rhythmbox, games, Shotwell and Krita for image editing. Both editions of Xandros OpenDesktop will also include all the proprietary media codecs and DVD/Blu-Ray support o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Humane_mouse_trap_|_The_MagPi_#108⠀⇛ # § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Jupiter_Nano_–_Tiny_Cortex-A5_board_runs_Linux_or NuttX_RTOS_(Crowdfunding)⠀⇛ Jupiter Nano looks like one of those small MCU boards, but instead of a microcontroller, it packs a 500 MHz Microchip SAMA5 Cortex-A5 processor with 128MB RAM capable of running Linux or NuttX operating systems. The board reminds me of the Adafruit Feather compatible Giant Board made by Groboards, with the same system-in-package, but Juniper Nano offers more I/Os via 48 through holes, and its size is said to be similar to Teensy 4.1 board (but not quite). # ⚓ BeagleV_Starlight_SBC_won’t_be_mass_manufactured, redesigned_BeagleV_RISC-V_SBC_expected_in_Q1_2022⠀⇛ There was lots of excitement when BeagleV Starlight single board computer was announced in January of this year. With a price tag of $119 and up, it promises to be an affordable RISC-V SBC with StarFive JH7100 dual-core SiFive U74 Vision SoC with AI accelerator, H.265/H.264 hardware video decoding, up to 8GB RAM, HDMI output, Gigabit Ethernet, and so on. Several beta testers even received BeagleV Startlight prototypes, providing instructions for buildroot, boot Linux, or even a video review with Fedora. The first version lacked a GPU, and the initial schedule planned for a new revision with an Imagination GPU to be manufactured in September. # § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Xiaomi_Android_12_update_tracker:_Eligible_devices, release_date,_&_more⠀⇛ # ⚓ OnePlus_6_and_6T’s_latest_Android_11_beta_fixes camera_and_network_issues⠀⇛ # ⚓ POCO_X3_bags_Android_11_update_in_India⠀⇛ # ⚓ Motorola_Android_11_update:_List_of_eligible_devices &_release_date⠀⇛ # ⚓ These_Android_Apps_Are_the_Most_Vulnerable_to Hacking⠀⇛ # ⚓ The_Best_Android_Games_On_Sale_This_Week_–_The_Almost Gone,_Golf_Peaks,_Space_Grunts_2_and_More_–_Droid Gamers⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android_Circuit:_Samsung_Confirms_Galaxy Cancellation,_Nothing’s_New_Earbuds,_Huawei’s_Curious P50_Pro⠀⇛ # ⚓ 8_Best_Spy_Phone_Apps_for_Android_You_Should_Try_Now |_Branded_Voices_|_Advertise⠀⇛ # ⚓ Jetpack_Compose_1.0_arrives,_making_Android development_easier_than_ever_|_Android_Central⠀⇛ # ⚓ Millions_of_Android_users_could_be_owed_share_of £920m_in_legal_action_against_Google⠀⇛ # ⚓ Motorola_Android_update_policy_is_a_paradox_– 9to5Google⠀⇛ # ⚓ Google_could_soon_launch_Switch_To_Android_app_to tempt_iPhone_users_|_T3⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_to_hide_apps_on_Android_|_Tom’s_Guide⠀⇛ # ⚓ Tile_Mate_review:_The_original_AirTag_alternative_– Android_Authority⠀⇛ # ⚓ The_Galaxy_S21_Ultra_is_Set_to_be_2021′s_Best_Android Phone_|_Digital_Trends⠀⇛ # ⚓ MY_apps_Vol._1:_The_first_Material_You_themed_apps_ [Video]_–_9to5Google⠀⇛ # ⚓ Xbox_Game_Pass_likely_coming_to_Android_TV_soon_– Android_Authority⠀⇛ # ⚓ Latest_Zenfone_8_update_brings_July_2021_Android security_patch_|_Technology⠀⇛ # ⚓ Jetpack_Compose_for_Android_turns_GA_|_InfoWorld⠀⇛ # ⚓ This_Android_malware_records_your_screen_—_what_you can_do_|_Tom’s_Guide⠀⇛ # ⚓ Google_freshens_up_Gmail_on_Android_with_some_bolder colors⠀⇛ # ⚓ Video_Friday:_Android_Printing_–_IEEE_Spectrum⠀⇛ o § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ # § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ [Old] Napkin_Problem_14:_Using_checksums_to_verify syncing_100M_database_records⠀⇛ In this issue of napkin math, we look at implementing a solution to check whether A and B are in sync for 100M records in a few seconds.

Triton makes it possible to reach peak hardware performance with relatively little effort; for example, it can be used to write FP16 matrix multiplication kernels that match the performance of cuBLAS—something that many GPU programmers can’t do—in under 25 lines of code. Our researchers have already used it to produce kernels that are up to 2x more efficient than equivalent Torch implementations, and we’re excited to work with the community to make GPU programming more accessible to everyone. # ⚓ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_RcppAnnoy_0.0.19_on_CRAN: Maintenance⠀⇛ A minor maintenance release, now at version 0.0.19, of RcppAnnoy is now on CRAN.

Annoy is a small and lightweight C++ template header library for very fast approximate nearest neighbours—originally developed to drive the famous Spotify music discovery algorithm. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Making_Our_Demands_Both_Practical_and_Visionary⠀⇛ The post was an unexpected sensation, and it would become a reference point in debates for years to come. “I wrote it so quickly,” Kaba reflects. “I was asked some questions by several young organizers who identify as abolitionists who were struggling mightily when all these proposals around body cameras and stuff were coming out. These organizers wanted to support something, but didn’t know what and didn’t think they knew how to figure that out on their own. I wrote that piece very fast and put it out on my blog. It went viral—somebody emailed me from London to say that they’re using it there. I was like, my God, that’s really amazing and great for something to be helpful to a lot of people.” o ⚓ The_Global_Right_Wing’s_Bizarre_Obsession_With_Pedophilia⠀⇛ But now he may have gone too far with his attack on an unlikely (and universally unliked) group of people. Pedophiles. o ⚓ The_Air-Conditioning_Nightmare:_an_Interview_With_Eric_Dean Wilson⠀⇛ But Wilson goes beyond the technical explanation of how Freon (and other gases that have replaced it) that still threaten our environment. Instead, he shows how our faith in the ability to cool the world without environmental repercussions is still with us. In an interview, Wilson unveils how our marketplace-driven economy creates a consumer culture where air conditioning has become a necessity underlying that faith. “After Cooling” begins with an unusual insight — the public initially resisted the idea of cooling air for personal comfort. It was too strange to attract buyers. o ⚓ The_Indian_Nation_and_Its_Borders⠀⇛ This is the story of modern India, a nation created when Britain finally gave up its colonial hold. Its birth was celebrated as a great victory for freedom and independence. Its creation was also a genocide. Muslims were forced to flee their homes and villages and were massacred along their way to the other newly formed nation of Pakistan. Retribution followed. As far as the Indian politicians were concerned, the definition and defense of their newly made borders would define their national independence. In Suchitra Vijayan’s new book Midnight’s Borders: A People’s History of Modern India, it becomes clear that those borders would provide an excuse to kill and steal at will in the name of Indian nationhood. In what can best be described as a uniquely truthful take on the modern nation-state, Midnight’s Borders describes the ongoing skirmishes, police actions and wars that have defined the making of the Indian nation. In doing so, the author illuminates the nature of border policies around the globe and the fragility of the nation-state concept. In a text whose title reference’s Salman Rushdie’s fictional masterpiece Midnight’s Children and took seven years to complete, Vijayan describes the life and the lives of individuals, families and hamlets affected by the borders imposed on them from the outside. These descriptions are written in inviting prose while simultaneously describing the destruction of lives and cultures, families and relationships. It is these stories that make this a true people’s history. o ⚓ Hinterlands:_Rural_Detroits⠀⇛ One of those turns leads to Old Trinity road, a narrow, worn-down, two- lane street that goes on for several miles before dead-ending near the town of Trinity. Driving along Old Trinity road, I cruise through sparsely populated, residential areas, mostly mobile homes and wooden houses that look like large shacks. The air is heavy with humidity and the smell of vegetation broiling in the mid-day sun. What is striking is the amount of decay. It seems every third house is abandoned, some buckled in. It reminds me of a rural Detroit. Some structures have been burnt, but most still stand, tottering like street corner drunks in knee-high weeds. Backwoods near the train tracks, lays two piles of rubble, obscured by trees and dancing shadows, the remains of older houses hastily dumped without proper burial. Were they torn down and dropped off from elsewhere? Abandoned, did they implode under their own weight in the backwoods where they formerly sat? Were they ripped apart by tornadoes? Each reason is equally plausible and the true reason obscured. o ⚓ Roaming_Charges:_All_That_Twitters_is_Sold⠀⇛ + The torment of Iraq has gone through different phases, each political generation leaving its own ruinous mark: coups, industrial sabotage, infiltration, assassination, instigation of a calamitous war against Iran, insurrections, embargoes, provoking the invasion of Kuwait, air strikes, bombings, invasion, arming and abandoning of Kurdish rebels, financing and arming of religious militants, blockades, a savage shadow war of economic sanctions, radiological warfare from the use of Depleted Uranium munitions, open air burning of chemical weapons, denial of medical supplies to treat cancer patients, destruction of dams, power plants and sewage treatment facilities, cruise missile strikes, deployment of hunter-killer squads, the framing of Iraq for stockpiling WMDs it didn’t possession, shock-and-awe bombing of civilian targets, invasion, occupation, surge and resurge, home invasions, de-Baathification, torture, murderous raids by private military contractors, drone strikes… + It is worth noting that Iraq was bombed once every three days from the end of the Gulf War to the beginning of the Iraq War. Obama “pulled out” and then returned with a vengeance. Trump, who postured as war critic, orchestrated the saturation bombing of Mosul, a blitz that killed far more civilians than ISIS insurgents. o ⚓ Opinion_|_The_Soldiers_Who_Resisted_the_First_Gulf_War_Deserve Recognition⠀⇛ International Conscientious Objectors’ Day is observed annually on May 15. Thirty years ago this month, at the conclusion of the first Gulf War, Private First Class Sam Lwin and 24 other Marines were charged with desertion. They were among tens of thousands across the U.S. armed forces who applied for conscientious objector, or CO, status or otherwise resisted participation in a war that they came to realize was wrong. Lwin, a Burmese-American student and Marine reservist of Fox Company, led seven others in his unit to resist the U.S. Marine Corps, ultimately joining a mass exodus of the military in which soldiers deserted at higher percentages than even in the Vietnam War. The story of why these soldiers resisted, how and with whose help is lesser known but deserves greater recognition. o ⚓ ‘Flawed_from_a_human_rights_perspective’:_Lithuania_is_seeing_a massive_increase_in_illegal_crossings_from_Belarus._What’s_fueling this_crisis?_And_what’s_Lukashenko_getting_out_of_it?⠀⇛ Since the spring, hundreds of people from the Middle East and Africa have been entering Lithuania — all of them through Belarus. In fact, illegal border crossings have increased by a factor of 39 since last year. The Lithuanian government has toughened its residency laws, started constructing a new border fence, and accused Belarus of encouraging illegal migration; meanwhile, Alexander Lukashenko has tried to pin the blame on Western sanctions. Several media outlets — including the Lithuanian news sites 15min and LRT, as well as the Belarusian outlets Reform.by and Mediazona Belarus — have published in-depth reporting on the crisis, revealing how migrants get to Lithuania, who’s helping them, and how much they pay for it. Meduza summarizes the findings of these investigations here. o ⚓ Citing_Donziger_Case,_Dems_Raise_Alarm_About_Use_of_Private Prosecutors_in_Federal_Court⠀⇛ The case of an American human rights attorney who won a multibillion-dollar judgment against one of the world’s largest oil companies and has spent the past two years on house arrest led a pair of Democratic U.S. senators on Thursday to raise questions and concerns about the use of private prosecutors in the federal court system. “The case of environmental lawyer Steven Donziger has garnered significant attention and shined a spotlight on private prosecutions of criminal contempt charges.”—Sens. Ed Markey and Sheldon Whitehouse o ⚓ The_Jobs_Bill_Must_Protect_Dreamers⠀⇛ DACA has been a GOP target since 2012, when President Obama created it to protect undocumented young people who’ve spent their whole lives here. It’s faced numerous GOP legal challenges and a suspension of the program under Trump. In spite of a 2020 Supreme Court ruling that upheld DACA, a new Texas federal court ruling by anti-immigrant judgeAndrew Hanen deemed the program “illegal,” leaving hundreds of thousands of young immigrants in limbo once more. o ⚓ What_it_Takes⠀⇛ o ⚓ Going_Dark⠀⇛ This blog will be going dark for a few months.

To the outraged readers of the Mail and our own New York Post, the park has become “a no-go zone for law-abiding locals.” Well, I’m a local, and I see something very different. o § Health/Nutrition⠀➾ # ⚓ Kinder,_Gentler_GMOs?⠀⇛ For readers who might not wade through the 7,000- word puff piece by Jennifer Kahn, the gist was provided in bold print on the magazine cover, alongside a cross-section of a tomato with dark purple flesh: “Overblown fears have turned the public against genetically modified food. But the potential benefits have never been greater.” The article was preceded in the print edition by a two-page spread restating the title in 2-inch high capital letters — “LEARNING TO LOVE G.M.O.S”— framing a big color photo of a papaya in cross- section. Turn the page and there’s a big color photo of two sugar beets, each with a caption. One says, “Produces more pounds of sugar per acre.” The other says, “Holds up to glyphosate, a common pesticide.” Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is sold as an herbicide, not a pesticide. Maybe some Times editor remembered reading that Roundup had decimated the Monarch butterfly population. It had, but that was a consequence of Roundup decimating the milkweed that sustained the lovely orange insects. # ⚓ On_Medicare’s_56th_Birthday,_Activists_Deliver_125,000+ Petitions_Urging_Congress_to_Expand_the_Program⠀⇛ Progressive healthcare activists marked Medicare’s 56th anniversary Friday by delivering more than 125,000 petitions urging Congress to lower the popular program’s eligibility age and expand its coverage to include vision, hearing, and dental services—upgrades that proponents say are long overdue to help protect seniors from soaring out- of-pocket costs. “Now, as a doctor I can tell you: Your eyes, your ears, and your teeth are connected to your body,” Dr. Sanjeev Sriram, an adviser to the advocacy group Social Security Works, said during a rally on Capitol Hill. “I did not have to go to medical school to tell y’all this, but apparently I do have to tell Congress this.” # ⚓ War_on_cancer_progress_report,_belated_2021_edition⠀⇛ If you’ve perused the alternative medicine (i.e., quack) cancer literature as long as I have, you’ll recall seeing certain key narratives recurring. One such narrative, of course, is that “conventional” cancer treatments (often characterized as “cut, burn, poison”) do more harm than good. Another such narrative is that you can almost completely prevent cancer if only you eat the right foods, use the right supplements, and live the right lifestyle. There are others, of course, often based on a germ of truth exaggerated and weaponized to spread fear and suspicion of science-based cancer treatments. For example, it is true that “conventional” treatments of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation are associated with unpleasant side effects and occasionally life-threatening risks, and diet and lifestyle can reduce your risk of cancer, but not by nearly as much as these narratives claim. (Contrary to one favorite narrative, vegans, for instance, can still get cancer.) # ⚓ There’s_No_‘Vaccine_Mandate’—but_That_Doesn’t_Stop_WaPo Asking_People_How_They_Feel_About_It⠀⇛ The Washington Post (7/29/21) let the opposition rather than the facts frame its latest story on the new federal directive on testing, masks and vaccination. The headline read: # ⚓ Biden_Promotes_$100_Incentives_to_Encourage_Unvaccinated_to Get_Their_Shots⠀⇛ # ⚓ Both_the_Delta_Variant_and_Thin-Willed_Democrats_Are_Lethal to_Our_Society⠀⇛ # ⚓ ‘A_Very_Serious_Threat’:_CDC_Document_Warns_Delta_Variant Is_as_Contagious_as_Chickenpox⠀⇛ An internal slide presentation assembled by officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that the Delta variant of the coronavirus—now the dominant strain in the U.S. and across much of the world—is as transmissible as chickenpox, could lead to more extreme illness than earlier mutations, and can likely be spread by people who are fully vaccinated. First obtained by the Washington Post on Thursday, the document (pdf) states that the “Delta variant may cause more severe disease thanAlpha or ancestral strains,” citing data on hospitalizations and deaths in Canada, Scotland, and Singapore. While noting that people who are fully inoculated against Covid-19 can still catch and spread the Delta variant, the document stresses that vaccines are extremely effective in preventing severe illness and death. # ⚓ The_Delta_Variant_Is_Contagious_as_Hell—and_People_Are Selfish⠀⇛ On Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control updated mask guidelines—again. The CDC suggested that vaccinated Americans should wear masks while indoors—again—in areas of “substantial or high transmission.” Predictably, the new guidance led to a surge of Republican politicians vowing to do everything they can to keep the virus going and kill their own supporters—again. # ⚓ Surveillance_Data_Shows_White-Tailed_Deer_Exposed_to_SARS- CoV-2⠀⇛ The finding that wild white-tailed deer have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 is not unexpected given that white-tailed deer are susceptible to the virus, are abundant in the United States, often come into close contact with people, and that, more than 114 million Americans are estimated to have been infected with COVID-19, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). APHIS is working closely with federal and state partners, including the Department of the Interior, the CDC, and the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, to determine next steps. Results from this surveillance effort are currently being prepared for publication in a peer-review journal. # ⚓ Think_the_delta_variant_is_scary?_Anti-vaccination_Trumpers are_truly_terrifying⠀⇛ The delta variant is just a mindless virus. The real problem is our fellow human beings who, as political science professor Scott Lemieux wrote recently, confuse “free riding with freedom — letting people do what they want with no consequences even when the consequences are borne by other people as well.” The problem, as I’ve written about more times than I care to think about, is political. Put bluntly, a huge percentage of Donald Trump’s America is refusing to get inoculated, to stick it to the liberals and undermine Biden’s presidency. o § Integrity/Availability⠀➾ # § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Mastodon_now_has_an_official_iPhone_app⠀⇛ Decentralized social network Mastodon now has an official iPhone app. The nonprofit behind Mastodon launched the app on iOS today, supplementing an existing web version and several third-party apps for iOS, Android, and other platforms. The app is free and offers a similar feature set to Mastodon’s core service, although it doesn’t include Mastodon’s broad local and federated timelines. # ⚓ Older_Kindles_may_lose_internet_connection,_Amazon warns⠀⇛ First- and second-generation Kindles did not come with wi-fi functions included, using mobile internet only.

The DOJ said in an update that the [crackers] are believed to have compromised the accounts from May 7 to Dec. 27, 2020. The data includes “all sent, received, and stored emails and attachments found within those accounts during that time.” # § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Top_German_Court_Says_Facebook_Must Inform_Users_About_Deleting_Their_Posts_Or Suspending_Their_Account,_Explain_Why,_And Allow_Them_To_Respond⠀⇛ We’ve just written about Germany’s constitutional court grappling with the issue of whether government users of zero- days for surveillance have a responsibility to report the flaws they use to the relevant developers. Another senior court in the country has been pondering an even thornier question that is occupying judges and lawmakers around the world: how should social media police so-called “hate speech” on their services in a way that respects fundamental rights on all sides? # ⚓ Digital_Rights_Groups_Hail_Record_€746 Million_Amazon_Data_Privacy_Fine⠀⇛ Digital rights advocates on Friday applauded a €746 million fine levied against Amazon by a Luxembourg regulator for the tech giant’s violation of European Union data privacy laws. The record penalty—which converts to about U.S. $886 million—was imposed on July 16 by CNPD, Luxembourg’s data protection agency, and disclosed in an Amazon regulatory filing (pdf) on Friday, according to Bloomberg. # ⚓ Amazon_Fined_746_Million_Euros_Following Our_Collective_Legal_Action⠀⇛ On July 16 2021, the Luxembourg Data Protection Agency finally rendered its opinion on the collective legal action we and 10 000 more people took in May 2018 against Amazon. This decision breaks a three-year silence which had started to make us expect the worst. # ⚓ Parents_Are_Asking_TikTok_For_Access_To The_Videos_Their_Kids_Are_Watching⠀⇛ The petition states that TikTok uses a secretive algorithm to recommend content to users, making it difficult for parents to keep tabs on what their kids engage with on TikTok. They can be exposed to bullying, sexual exploitation, pro-eating disorder videos and creators encouraging violence, self-harm or dangerous challenges, says the advocacy group. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Opinion_|_Can_the_House_Select_Committee_to_Investigate January_6_Actually_Help_to_Defend_Democracy?⠀⇛ The House Select Committee to Investigate January 6 is off to a good start.  # ⚓ Afghanistan,_Failure_and_Second_Thoughts⠀⇛ The spokesman was, however, willing to make general remarks about a belated return.  When, he could not be sure, but Canberra’s diplomatic arrangements in Afghanistan “were always expected to be temporary, with the intention of resuming a permanent presence once circumstances permit.”  Australia continued “to engage closely with partners, including the Afghanistan government and coalition member countries.”  Rather embarrassing remarks, given the sudden closure of the embassy on June 18. The Australian response, confused and stumbling, is much like that of their counterparts in Washington.  While the Biden administration speeds up the departure of troops, the cord to Kabul remains uncut though distinctly worn.  In April, the US House Services Committee was told by General Kenneth “Frank” McKenzie, head of US Central Command, that the Pentagon was “further planning now for continued counterterrorism operations from within the region.” # ⚓ January_6_Uprising_Was_an_Attempted_Fascist_Coup_d’Etat⠀⇛ To describe the uprising as anything but a coup is a serious mistake. It was a four-hour attack in which the Capitol of the United States was overrun by hundreds of right-wing militias. Thousands were outside watching and waiting. The insurrectionists took control of the House and Senate, and in so doing, the United States government. Members of Congress were evacuated (rescued) by capitol police. Offices and conference rooms were breached and sacked; they were tracking down members of Congress. One of their goals was to assassinate Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Vice President Mike Pence, and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts. Liberals and democrats were no doubt prime targets, especially young Congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And their task once breaching the Capitol was to place their “heads on pikes.” After several hours, Capitol Police and the DC National Guard cleared the Capitol and restored order. # ⚓ Opinion_|_SOS:_A_Plea_for_Freedom_From_Misleading_Media Narratives_on_Cuba⠀⇛ In the wake of this month’s protests in Cuba over food and medicine shortages and other complaints, the New York-based magazine Travel + Leisure ran an item titled “4 Ways to Help the People of Cuba Right Now.” # ⚓ Let_Cuba_Live:_the_Movement_Standing_Up_to_Biden’s_Maximum Pressure⠀⇛ Not a priority, closely engaged, top priority: matters have moved rapidly from March 9 to July 22. What moved the Biden-Harris administration to focus so quickly on Cuba? On the morning of July 11, some people in Cuba—notably in the town of San Antonio de los Baños—took to the streets to express their dissatisfaction with the social and economic problems created by the U.S.-imposed blockade and by the global pandemic. The reaction to these events in Havana and in Washington, D.C., is instructive: Cuba’s President Miguel Díaz-Canel heard the news of the protests, got into a car, and drove the 40 miles to San Antonio de los Baños, where he met with the people; while in Washington, Biden used the protest to call for the overthrow of the Cuban government. U.S. government-funded nongovernmental organizations and Cuban American groups hastened to take advantage of the frenzy, excited by the possibility of regime change in Cuba. On the evening of July 11, tens of thousands of Cubans rallied across Cuba to defend their revolutionary process. Since that Sunday evening, Cuba has been calm. # ⚓ The_US_Has_No_Business_Lecturing_Cuba_About_“Free_and_Fair” Elections⠀⇛ Inevitably, the protests have also served as a convenient tool for the US government and its allies in the Cuban-American exile community to reinvigorate their decades-long campaign to impose “regime change” on the beleaguered Caribbean island nation. Needless to say, at the forefront of calls for an even more aggressive US stance toward Cuba have been hardline representatives of this community. The mayor of Miami, the Babylon of militant anti-Castro agitation, has even called for direct US military intervention to “liberate” the island. In an interview with Fox News, Suarez even refused to rule out US airstrikes against Cuba, stating that this “has to be explored and cannot be just simply discarded as an option that is not on the table.” As would be expected, amongst the justifications for such aggressive measures is the demand for “free and fair elections,” which features prominently in the pronouncements of these figures. An open letter from Marco Rubio, the Florida exile hardliner Senator, and co-signed by House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy and 143 other members of congress, for example, states: “Freedom-loving nations must make clear our full and unwavering support for Cuba’s pro-democracy movement, and for free and fair elections, with international supervision.” To the politically naïve, this might seem like a perfectly reasonable sentiment. After all, according to the prevailing political mentality within Western nations, the holding of “free and fair elections” is perhaps the most basic prerequisite that a country must meet in order to be accepted into the family of “freedom-loving nations.” The implicit corollary, of course, is that the US is perfectly entitled, if not duty- bound, to punish those countries that fail to meet this most fundamental of requirements. The reality, however, is that the US doesn’t have a shred of credibility when it comes to lecturing others about “free and fair elections,” let alone imposing punitive measures on those who fail to hold them. Because an investigation into the US’s behavior on the global stage reveals its stunning hypocrisy when it comes to Cuba and other US adversaries. And this hypocrisy is no accident, but rather plays an important part in providing a false veneer of credibility to the US’s self-serving foreign policy goals. # ⚓ Australia:_A_Laboratory_of_Empire_with_Lowkey_&_Aamer Rahman⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_Ben_&_Jerry’s_Exposed_Israel’s_anti-BDS_Strategy⠀⇛ By responding to the Palestinian call for boycotting apartheid Israel, the ice cream giant has delivered a blow to Israel’s attempts at criminalizing and, ultimately, ending the global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign. What differentiates Ben & Jerry’s decision to abandon the ever-growing market of illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank from previous decisions by other international corporations is the fact that the ice cream company has made it clear that its move was morally motivated. Indeed, Ben & Jerry’s did not attempt to mask or delude their decision in any way. “We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory,” a statement by the Vermont, US-based company read on July 19. # ⚓ Human_Rights_Watch_Accuses_Israel_of_Apparent_War_Crimes_in Gaza_Assault⠀⇛ # ⚓ What_Philadelphia_Reveals_About_America’s_Homicide_Surge⠀⇛ Nakisha Billa’s son was still a baby when she decided to make their first flight to safety. It was early in 2000 and she and Domonic were living in the North Philadelphia neighborhood of Kensington, which had long suffered some of the highest crime rates in the city. Billa was 22, proud to be living in her own place after having been raised in West Philadelphia mostly by her grandparents, and flush with the novelty of motherhood. “When I found out I was carrying Dom, it was the best thing that had ever happened to me,” she said. She liked to kiss his feet, and he liked it, too, so much so that he would stick them out invitingly with a big smile on his face. # ⚓ We_Need_to_Scale_Back_America’s_War_Machine⠀⇛ As a ROTC cadet and an Air Force officer, I was a tiny part of America’s vast Department of Defense (DoD) for 24 years until I retired and returned to civilian life as a history professor. My time in the military ran from the election of Ronald Reagan to the reign of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. It was defined by the Cold War, the collapse of the Soviet Union, America’s brief unipolar moment of dominance and the beginning of its end, as Washington embroiled itself in needless, disastrous wars in Afghanistan and Iraq after the 9/11 attacks. Throughout those years of service, I rarely thought about a question that seems ever more critical to me today: What would a real system of American national defense look like? # ⚓ Human_Rights_Watch_Accuses_Israel_of_Apparent_War_Crimes_in Gaza_Assault;_Urges_ICC_Probe⠀⇛ Human Rights Watch is calling on the International Criminal Court to open a probe into apparent Israeli war crimes committed during its recent 11- day assault on Gaza that killed 260 Palestinians, including 66 children. We discuss a major report HRW released this week that closely examines three Israeli strikes that killed 62 Palestinians civilians in May. U.S.-made weapons were used in at least two of the attacks investigated. Human Rights Watch concluded Israel had committed apparent war crimes. “You had people’s entire lives — their homes, their businesses, their wives, their children, their husbands — gone in a flash,” says Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch, who helped lead the investigation. “The international community focuses on Gaza maybe when there are armed hostilities. But two months later these families continue to deal with the aftermath of the devastation wrought upon their lives.” # ⚓ Preventing_an_American_Pinochet⠀⇛ As I watch, I see a chilling parallel to the rise of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. Steve Stern’s book Remembering Pinochet’s Chile opens with a couple greeting the 1973 military coup that launched Pinochet’s dictatorship by toasting the fighter jets with champagne. Decades later, they still remember Pinochet fondly. # ⚓ Is_the_US_Heading_for_the_Exit?⠀⇛ And then, of course, came the launching of the Global War on Terror, which soon would be normalized as the plain-old, uncapitalized “war on terror.” Yes, that very war — even if nobody’s called it that for years — began on September 11, 2001. At a Pentagon partially in ruins, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, already aware that the destruction around him was probably Osama bin Laden’s responsibility, orderedhis aides to begin planning for a retaliatory strike against… Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. Rumsfeld’s exact words (an aide wrote them down) were: “Go massive. Sweep it all up. Things related and not.” Things related and not. Sit with that phrase for a moment. In their own strange way, those four words, uttered in the initial hours after the destruction of New York’s World Trade Center and part of the Pentagon, still seem to capture the twenty-first- century American experience. # ⚓ Let’s_Reinvent_the_U.S._Military_for_Real_National Defense⠀⇛ During the Cold War, I took it for granted that this country needed a sprawling network of military bases, hundreds of them globally.  Back then, of course, the stated U.S. mission was to “contain” the communist pathogen.  To accomplish that mission, it seemed all too logical to me then for our military to emphasize its worldwide presence.  Yes, I knew that the Soviet threat was much exaggerated. Threat inflation has always been a feature of the DoD and at the time I’d read books like Andrew Cockburn’s The Threat: Inside the Soviet Military Machine. Still, the challenge was there and, as the leader of the “free world,” it seemed obvious to me that the U.S. had to meet it. And then the Soviet Union collapsed — and nothing changed in the U.S. military’s global posture. # ⚓ Islamic_Jihadists_Kill_Nearly_3,500_Nigerian_Christians, Attack_300_Churches_in_200_Days⠀⇛ Members of the Islamic jihadist group Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen are named throughout the report. These terror groups are relentless in their efforts to gain control over the country through the kidnapping and killing of innocent victims. Hundreds of children from Nigerian schools have also been targeted this year, kidnapped by armed insurgents threatening to harm their captives unless a ransom is paid. # ⚓ It’s_the_religion,_stupid⠀⇛ The conflict with the Palestinians cannot be resolved so long as their leaders are driven by a religious rather than a political agenda. You cannot reach compromises with people who believe that Allah has given them marching orders to reconstitute the Islamic empire and, ideally, expand it throughout the world. For them, Israel is a cancer in the Islamic body that must be excised. Israel can dismantle every settlement, withdraw to the 1949 armistice lines and declare Zionism dead, and it would not satisfy them. # ⚓ Watchdog_Alarmed_at_‘Mounting_Taliban_Revenge_Killings’⠀⇛ A global human rights monitor on Friday accused the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan of detaining and executing suspected government officials as well as security forces, and in some cases their relatives. Human Rights Watch lamented in a statement that the Taliban’s retaliatory actions ran counter to their pledges that no harm would be inflicted on people who worked for the Afghan government or assisted the United States and NATO troops. # ⚓ Turkey_serving_as_vessel_for_radical_Islamists_–_U.N. report⠀⇛ Uyghur, Turkmen and central Asian migrants living in Turkey serve as a significant pool for membership in radical Islamist terrorist organisations, according to a report presented to the United Nations Security Council, Voice of America Turkish reported on Saturday. Members of the Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria’s northern Idlib province see Turkey as an important gateway, according to the 22-page U.N. report detailing global terror activities in the first six-months of 2021. # ⚓ Afghan_comedian_Khasha_Jawan_assaulted,_killed_by_Taliban: Report⠀⇛ Ariana news said Afghan Vice President Amrullah Saleh in a Facebook post wrote that the comedian was executed by the Taliban in a “kangaroo court.” o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Exxon-Influenced_Senators_Carved_Climate_Out_of Infrastructure_Almost_Entirely⠀⇛ # ⚓ Slamming_China_Won’t_Save_Fossil_Capitalism_From_Itself⠀⇛ The planet is burning and the arsonists are in charge, as one environmentalist once observed. So in late June and early July, with extreme heat afflicting a quarter of the globe, it became clear that the time had come for the Biden government, and indeed every government, to end the burning of oil, gas and coal. Personally, I favor nationalizing the fossil fuel industry, that is, the wealth of the arsonists. Howsoever we phase it out, this termination needs to happen NOW. Or we as a species will likely not survive. What will come after homo sapiens? No doubt beings adapted to extreme heat, unlike us, with our lineage naturally selected during an ice age. At the very least, it’s time to slash fossil fuel subsidies. As for the aforementioned nationalizing of oil, gas and coal corporations in order to eliminate their product, desirable as this may be, history, unluckily, is against it. In the past, the U.S. has launched wars and invaded countries that threatened to nationalize fossil fuel companies. Think Iran in 1953 and the pandemonium caused by the western overthrow of that country’s legally elected president: the shah, the torturers in Savak, the hostage crisis, the decades-long American attempt to get even for it, the disastrous election of Reagan and all the evils of hyper- capitalism that flowed from that. Just the hint of such a nationalization is a casus belli for U.S. elites. And it’s likely they knowingly and willfully refuse to put two and two together regarding control of fossil fuel companies and our collapsing climate. Even if they did, U.S. politicos, plutocrats and corporate titans would probably rather die, felled by extreme weather, than turn oil companies over to the state. And at the rate we’re going, they will get their wish. # ⚓ Opinion_|_ALEC’s_Annual_Meeting_Queues_up_Fights_Over Federal_Powers,_Fossil_Fuels,_Big_Tech,_Labor_Rights,_and_the GOP’s_Culture_Wars⠀⇛ # ⚓ Science_Museum_Just_Killed_Its_‘Own_Reputation,’_Says_Greta Thunberg_After_Docs_Reveal_Gag_Clause_With_Shell⠀⇛ The London Science Museum is facing fresh criticism from climate campaigners following revelations that the institution signed a “gagging clause” with Shell banning it from criticizing the oil giant as part of an exhibition sponsorship agreement. “The ‘Science’ Museum just killed irony (and their own reputation),” Fridays for Future founder Greta Thunberg tweeted Thursday. # § Energy⠀➾ # ⚓ EPA_Approval_of_PFAS_for_Fracking_May_Spell_a_New Health_Crisis_for_Communities⠀⇛ # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ Opinion_|_A_Missed_Opportunity:_Rights_of_Nature Removed_From_New_Draft_of_Post-2020_Global_Biodiversity Framework⠀⇛ On July 12, the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Secretariat released the first draft of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework, deleting what is arguably the most important enabling condition: “to consider, where appropriate, the rights of nature,” replacing this language with “employing rights-based approaches.” This framework would have been the first international treaty to recognize Nature’s rights.  # ⚓ Species_Spotlight:_Will_the_Panamanian_Golden_Frog Survive?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Glimmers_of_Hope_for_Wildlife_in_Colorado⠀⇛ The biggest sign of change—and a real reason for wildlife enthusiasts to be excited—is of course the passing of Proposition 114 in November of 2020. The ballot measure directs Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) to bring the gray wolf back to Colorado, where it has been largely absent since the 1940s. How and where exactly reintroduction will happen is still up for much input and debate. And we can be sure that anti-wildlife interests will be fervent in advocating that wolves be hunted, trapped, lethally “managed,” and otherwise persecuted. Guardians will be there howling for wolves to be safe, protected, and bountiful enough to work their ecosystem magic across the state. Another win for wildlife in Colorado that may have flown under the public radar, but that is critical for conservation: Governor Polis recently signed three bills into law to provide much-needed funding for CPW to protect the state’s diverse wildlife, habitat and park system. What’s particularly noteworthy about these new laws is that they will allow the general public to provide funding for wildlife conservation, not just hunters and anglers, who have historically paid for and directed state wildlife agencies. # ⚓ How_the_USDA_is_Failing_America’s_Captive_Elephants⠀⇛ “Elephants who are kept in small enclosures are in increased danger of developing chronic foot disease and arthritis, both of which lead to frequent instances of death for captive elephants,” according to Dr. Toni Frohoff, a biologist and behavioral ethologist. “In fact, the most common reason for premature death of captive elephants is lack of space and standing on hard and/or otherwise inappropriate surfaces.” Many people are unaware that circuses are still part of the American culture. The closing of the infamous Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in May 2017 did not mark the end of cruelty perpetrated on elephants, who are forced into captivity and made to perform in circuses. Between 25 and 30 traveling circuses, which include caged wild animals, continue to travel and operate in the United States. There are currently more than 60 elephants and hundreds of other animals still being used for human entertainment. Circus animal cruelty and exploitation are rampant. Some operators like Loomis Bros. Circus and Carson & Barnes Circus continued operating throughout the worst of the U.S. COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and were once again advertising their show schedulesfor the spring and summer season in 2021. Currently, Carden Circus, Loomis Bros. Circus, Carson & Barnes Circus, Tarzan Zerbini Circus, and others are back on the road with elephants and other wild exotic animals. # § Overpopulation⠀➾ # ⚓ Earth_Overshoot_Day_moves_forward_by_nearly_a_month⠀⇛ After a temporary reprieve due to the COVID- 19 pandemic, Earth Overshoot Day — the day humanity is projected to have used up all the planet’s biological resources regenerated in one year — has shifted forward again, this year landing on July 29. # ⚓ Earth_Overshoot_Day_marks_date_planet_has_used_up resources_for_the_year⠀⇛ The Global Footprint Network, which calculates the date each year, said humans currently use 74% more than what the planet can remake. # ⚓ Earth_overshoot_day:_Resource_consumption_rebounds after_pandemic⠀⇛ Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity’s demand for ecological resources and services in a given year exceeds what Earth can regenerate in that year.

The Mexican painter’s Great Depression-era confrontation with Nelson Rockefeller, then the twenty-something grandson of the world’s single richest individual, captured front-page real estate all across the United States—and far beyond. # ⚓ Is_There_a_Progressive_Case_Against_Quantitative_Easing?⠀⇛ These purchases of longer-term bonds, known as “quantitative easing” (QE), had the effect of raising bond prices. The vast majority of bonds are held by the wealthy, with close to half being held by the richest one percent. This has the effect of increasing wealth inequality. Lower interest rates also have the effect of raising stock prices, other things being equal. The Fed’s QE policy was surely a factor in the sharp run-up in stock prices since the start of the pandemic. Since the ownership of stock is also enormously skewed toward the wealthy, the effect on stock prices also worsens the inequality of wealth. For these reasons, some progressives have argued that QE is a regressive policy which should be abandoned. # ⚓ Omar_Unveils_Guaranteed_Income_Bill_to_Send_American_Adults $1,200_a_Month⠀⇛ # ⚓ Democrats_Make_Last-Minute_Push_to_Extend_Eviction Moratorium⠀⇛ # ⚓ Progressives_Issue_Dire_Warning_as_House_Bill_to_Extend Eviction_Moratorium_Dies⠀⇛ House Democrats on Friday afternoon gave up on the effort to enact legislation to extend the federal eviction moratorium after failing to secure enough votes for passage, even as progressive lawmakers warned of the “death and suffering” that will likely result from millions of people losing their homes as the more dangerous Delta variant drives a resurgent Covid-19 pandemic. “Extending the federal eviction moratorium as quickly as possible is the least we can do for those in our communities who need our help the most.”—Rep.

Why? Short answer: epistemology has gone populist. How we know is now a personal possession that we will fight to the death to defend, a scary situation because it’s a personal fait accompli which preempts any refutation. It’s a non- dialectical sort of epistemology in which you talk to your bathroom mirror and he hears you out and goes along. # ⚓ With_New_Guaranteed_Income_Bill,_Omar_Proposes_Sending_Most People_in_US_$1,200_Per_Month⠀⇛ Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota is set to introduce legislation on Friday that would establish a guaranteed income program and postal banking services to provide most U.S. adults, including undocumented taxpayers, with a $1,200 monthly check. “For too long we have prioritized endless growth while millions are homeless, hungry, or without healthcare.”—Rep. Ilhan Omar # ⚓ ‘Just_Say_That_the_Election_Was_Corrupt,’_Trump_Told_DOJ_in December⠀⇛ Additional evidence of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to invalidate and reverse the outcome of the 2020 presidential race came to light on Friday when the New York Times, using newly obtained documents, reported that Trump pressured top Justice Department officials in late December to declare that “the election was corrupt” so that he and his GOP allies could overturn the results. # ⚓ ‘About_Damn_Time’:_DOJ_Says_Treasury_Department_Must_Give Trump’s_Tax_Returns_to_Congress⠀⇛ The U.S. Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel said Friday that the Treasury Department is obligated by law to hand former President Donald Trump’s tax returns over to the House Ways and Means Committee, opening the door for Congress to finally obtain the documents after more than two years of legal battles and stonewalling by his administration. “It is about damn time,” Rep. Bill Pascrell (D- N.J.), chair of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Oversight, said in a statement. “Our committee first sought Donald Trump’s tax returns on April 3, 2019—849 days ago. Our request was made in full accordance with the law and pursuant to Congress’ constitutional oversight powers. And for 849 days, our request has been illegally blocked by a tag-team of the Trump Justice Department and a Trump-appointed judge.” # ⚓ As_Biden_Refuses_to_Act,_Dems_Make_Last-Minute_Push_to Extend_Eviction_Moratorium⠀⇛ House Democrats are racing against the clock to build support for legislation to extend the soon- to-lapse national eviction moratorium after the Biden administration announced Thursday that it wouldn’t act on its own, potentially leaving millions of people at risk of losing their homes amid a deadly pandemic. But with the moratorium set to expire Saturday, the last-minute effort faces long odds given that Republicans—and some Democrats—are unlikely to support an extension, despite experts’ warnings about the potentially devastating public health impacts of allowing a wave of evictions as the Delta variant tears through the country. # ⚓ Joe_Biden’s_Hollow_Resistance:_Words_vs._Deeds⠀⇛ Words and Deeds The judgement remains accurate. Populist- and progressive-sounding words are as usual common in Democratic presidential rhetoric while populist and progressive deeds are as usual scare in Democratic presidential conduct. Remember Biden’s campaign promise to significantly slash college student debt? It’s an empty pledge so far. Early in his presidency, Biden asked the Education and Justice Departments to “review his legal authority” to cancel $50,000 in student debt per borrower by executive order. No review is required. The Higher Education Act clearly grants the U.S. president broad discretion to cancel student debt. The legal assessment is a diversionary and holding action reflecting Biden’s reluctance to irritate the nation’s leading financial institutions, whose interests he dutifully served over three decades in Congress. # ⚓ Putin_establishes_commission_for_historical_education headed_by_ex-Culture_Minister_Vladimir_Medinsky⠀⇛ Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree on establishing an interdepartmental commission for historical education.

He should not have fought for Soviet power but waited as if the “socialist revolution” were an embryo in the ninth month. Blanc would still insist that he is an orthodox Marxist, but Karl Marx made it patently clear that the dictatorship of the proletariat would not rest on “executive office.” Instead an armed people would rule in their own name—the Paris Commune, in other words. In 2014, Blanc was likely still a member of Socialist Organizer, a tiny Trotskyist sect led by his father Alan Benjamin. They were in a satellite of Pierre Lambert’s version of the Fourth International based in France. If the training he received in this sect helped him develop his theories about the borderlands, that’s to their credit. Since he has never written about his political evolution, we have to assume that his flight from the Lambertists was motivated by a need to hook up with broader trends on the left. He joined the ISO at some point and presumably was one of the people who voted for its dissolution under the impact of the Sanders campaigns. His final destination was the DSA, where he functions as an éminence grise justifying work in the Democratic Party as the best way to recover the Kautskyist Social Democratic tradition that lost all of its authority after the Bolshevik revolution. Blanc is trying to turn back the clock in his latest article to recreate this Shangri La of social democracy. You can bet that it will be studied in depth by the house intellectuals at Jacobin and those DSA’ers who identify with The Call, a magazine put out by Blanc’s Bread and Roses caucus. Unlike the average DSA’er, these comrades try to establish their revolutionary continuity to Karl Marx as if anybody cared. To me, such efforts remind me of the genealogy charts of thoroughbred horses more than anything else. # ⚓ As_Progressives_Call_for_End_to_Blockade,_Biden_Announces More_Sanctions_Against_Cuba⠀⇛ While President Joe Biden campaigned on a pledge to reverse the “failed” policies of his predecessor that “inflicted harm on Cubans and their families,” his administration—already under mounting pressure from progressives to deliver on that promise—announced new sanctions against Cuba on Friday. Following Cubans’ recent protests over shortages of food, medicine, and other essentials during the Covid-19 pandemic, the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned Cuba’s main law enforcement body, Policía Nacional Revolucionaria (PNR), as well as its director and deputy director, Oscar Callejas Valcarce and Eddy Sierra Arias. # ⚓ Russia’s_federal_censor_orders_YouTube_to_block_‘Navalny Live’⠀⇛ Russia’s federal censorship agency, Roskomnadzor, has ordered YouTube to block Alexey Navalny’s popular channel “Navalny Live.” This was reported by the channel’s producer, Lyubov Sobol — in a YouTube video. # ⚓ Hawley’s_“Love_America_Act”_is_All_About_Hate⠀⇛ And that the rest of America subsidized the slave- owners’ states and continues to subsidize them to this day.

Major highways were blocked for hours as protesters marched through Guatemala City and in rural communities denouncing corruption, a worsening economic crisis and the government’s catastrophic mishandling of the pandemic. The demonstrations are the “third chapter of our history in the fight against corruption, which started in 2015,” says Lucrecia Hernández Mack, Guatemalan physician and a member of the Guatemalan Congress with the political party Movimiento Semilla who was the first woman to lead the country’s Ministry of Health. “People here in Guatemala are just outraged.” Indigenous governments and people across Guatemala united in leading the call for the mass mobilization, adds Andrea Ixchíu, Maya K’iche’ leader, journalist and human rights defender in Totonicapán, Guatemala. “We are tired [of] how in the midst of the pandemic the Guatemalan government is stealing the money from the vaccines and militariz[ing] the country.” # ⚓ New_York_City’s_Radical_Proposal_for_Noncitizen_Voting⠀⇛ Lucia Aguilar has been living in New York City since she was 3 years old.

The provision, which was tucked into the $67 billion State Department and foreign operations spending package, instructs the State Department to gather information regarding the OAS’s unfounded claims of election fraud. The OAS’s accusations, and the US media’s rushing in to parrot these falsehoods, led to the expulsion of Bolivia’s popular left-wing president, and put the country in the hands of an unelected military junta.

I would ask them, if they have not already done so, to contact police,” says Detective Superintendent Alex Bingley. # ⚓ Hatun_Tash:_Speakers’_Corner_is_anti-Christian,_says_woman who_was_stabbed⠀⇛ Hatun Tash told The Times that over the past two years she had been verbally and physically assaulted at Speakers’ Corner, Hyde Park, which is known for freedom of expression. A fortnight before she was attacked, Tash had begun legal proceedings against Scotland Yard over allegations of false arrest and imprisonment. o § Freedom of Information/Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Indian_Photojournalist_Danish_Siddiqui_Not_Killed_In Crossfire,_But_Executed_By_Taliban:_Report⠀⇛ According to a media report, Danish Siddiqui, who was killed while covering clashes between Afghan troops and the Taliban in Kandahar city, was actually killed after Taliban verified his identity. # ⚓ Turkey_sees_158_percent_rise_in_police_violence_towards women_journalists⠀⇛ Violence against women journalists in Turkey has sharply increased by 158.82 percent this year, in comparison to the cases recorded last year, the Coalition For Women In Journalism (CFWIJ) said on July 28. # ⚓ Turkey:_CFWIJ_demands_action_to_end_police_brutality against_journalists⠀⇛ The Coalition For Women In Journalism (CFWIJ) continues to follow the direct targeting of journalists and the disproportionate use of force against women journalists who follow events in the country. We consider the latest events quite alarming and we are deeply concerned about the physical assaults women journalists have suffered. Since the beginning of 2021, CFWIJ has recorded at least 44 women journalists subjected to police violence in Turkey. Three women journalists’ had their houses raided and were detained for their journalistic activities. At least 13 female reporters were detained while following events in the field. Many of them were exposed to verbal harassment by the police at the same time as those cases. # ⚓ False_Islamic_doctrines:_Ibu_Yati,_two_individuals_claim trial⠀⇛ Three individuals including a former journalist, well-known as Ibu Yati, pleaded not guilty in the Selangor Syariah High Court today, to expounding religious doctrines contrary to Islamic law and spreading them through Facebook between December last year until February this year. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ “Pushing_Back_at_Authority”:_Son_Volt,_and_the_Power_of Protest_Music⠀⇛ Calling on those ghosts again, Farrar asks in “Living in the USA,” the best song on Electro Melodier, “Where’s the heart from days of old?” His further inquiry, sung in the plaintive, honest, and intimate voice of a long-lost friend, provides clarity into the target of his political and emotional scavenger hunt: “Where’s the empathy? Where’s the soul?” Closing the chorus with, “Living in the USA…” leaves the listener with a sociocultural mystery. Do those words form a question or an answer? Great art eschews the easy solution and the quick fix. Son Volt’s new music is no exception to the rule. Like all brilliant artists, Farrar doesn’t conceal the complexity and contradictions of his subject matter. He spotlights them. Depending on when and how he enunciates the phrase, “Living in the USA,” it can act as ridicule to an Empire in decay, unable to enforce its foundational rhetoric of freedom and equality, or as a declaration of hope – the hope that lives in the streets, the organizer meetings, the ballot box, the picket line, the pipeline protest, and every site of combative action against injustice. # ⚓ DC_Court_Dumps_Police_Union’s_Attempt_To_Block_Release_Of Recordings,_Officers’_Names_Following_Police_Shootings⠀⇛ Last year, a number of police reforms were passed by the city of Washington, DC. These efforts angered the Fraternal Order of Police — which represents a number of DC Metro police officers — enough for it to sue. It sued over two reforms in particular: the release of police recordings (body cam or otherwise) and the names of officers involved in shootings of residents. # ⚓ ‘I_want_to_show_I’m_not_afraid’:_Opposition_politician Violetta_Grudina_on_her_forced_hospitalization_and_decision to_go_on_hunger_strike⠀⇛ Violetta Grudina used to lead Alexey Navalny’s campaign office in Murmansk — before this opposition movement was outlawed as “extremist,” that is. In the summer of 2021, she announced plans to put her name on the ballot for the upcoming City Council elections. Not long after, the authorities opened a criminal case against her, claiming that Grudina failed to fulfill quarantine requirements while recovering from the coronavirus in June. On top of that, in mid-July, Grudina was hospitalized by court order — despite the fact that she tested negative for COVID-19 and no longer had any symptoms. On July 26 — after almost two weeks in the hospital — the opposition politician announced a hunger strike. In conversation with Meduza, Violetta Grudina talks about her forced hospitalization, going on hunger strike, and why she’s not giving up on running in the fall elections. # ⚓ Rise_of_the_Right:_How_the_Vaudeville_Left_Fuels_White Supremacy⠀⇛ # ⚓ Florida_Sheriff’s_Office_Now_Notifying_People_It_Will_Be Inflicting_Its_Pre-Crime_Program_On_Them⠀⇛ The Pasco County (FL) Sheriff’s Office has been swamped with negative press coverage centering on its predictive policing program. The Office claims it’s not “predictive policing,” but rather “intelligence-led policing.” Whatever you call it, it sucks. # ⚓ Luke_Harris_on_Critical_Race_Theory,_Cindy_Cohn_on_Pegasus Spyware⠀⇛ # ⚓ Judges_Rule_in_Favor_of_a_School’s_Use_of_Shock_Therapy That_UN_Calls_Torture⠀⇛ # ⚓ Anti-BDS_Jewish_Orgs_Back_Ben_&_Jerry’s_Ice_Cream_Sales_Ban in_Settlements_Despite_Israeli_Pressure⠀⇛ Israel has launched what has been described as a maximum pressure campaign against Ben & Jerry’s and its parent company Unilever, after the iconic ice cream brand announced it would halt sales in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Israel has asked 35 U.S. governors to enforce state laws which make it a crime to support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, or BDS. The founders of Ben & Jerry’s, who no longer have operational control of the company, have defended the company’s decision. A number of Jewish groups including J Street, the New Israel Fund and Americans for Peace Now, all of whom oppose BDS, have defended Ben & Jerry’s decision and rejected accusations that the company’s decision was antisemitic. “What we are seeing is an aggressive, over the top, full-court press from senior officials in the Israeli government … to target Ben & Jerry’s simply for the fact that they made a principled decision to respect the distinction between the state of Israel and the territory that it occupies beyond the green line,” says Logan Bayroff, Vice President of Communications of J- Street. “These anti-boycott laws aren’t just posing issues under the first amendment, they’re actually punishing companies that do the right thing by ending their complicity in human rights abuses,” adds Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch. # ⚓ Yes,_the_Constitution_was_“Pro-Slavery”⠀⇛ Naturally, that reframing has enjoyed quite a bit of pushback, much of which amounts to wrestling over whether the US Constitution, as originally written and ratified, was designed around the goal of protecting the institution of slavery. “Nikole Hannah-Jones and other 1619 acolytes,” Dr. Brion McClanahan writes at the Tenth Amendment Center, “have been consistently pushing the idea that the Constitution was a ‘pro-slavery’ document.” o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Broadband_Portion_Of_Bipartisan_Infrastructure_Plan_Appears Watered_Down_But_Still_Helpful⠀⇛ As we’ve noted previously, the broadband component of the Biden infrastructure bill has slowly been whittled down during “bipartisan negotiations.” What was first a $100 billion proposal is now a $65 billion proposal, with things industry didn’t like (like support for community broadband) slowly hollowed out. And while the White House fact sheet on the agreement offers some detail on the compromise (which still isn’t technically final), it remains arguably vague: # ⚓ Picking_Up_Where_Bill_C-10_Left_Off:_The_Canadian Government’s_Non-Consultation_on_Online_Harms_Legislation⠀⇛ The government says it is taking comments until September 25th, but given the framing of the documents, it is clear that this is little more than a notification of the regulatory plans, not a genuine effort to craft solutions based on public feedback. For a government that was elected with a strong grounding in consultation and freedom of expression, the reversal in approach could hardly be more obvious. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ Stop_The_Antitrust_Gerrymandering⠀⇛ The social media app TikTok was reported to have passed more than 3 billion total downloads in July and was the most downloaded app in the first half of the year. This growth is impressive as it not only was banned in India but is the first app not owned by Facebook to pass 3 billion downloads. Yet in the recent antitrust cases from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the states attorneys general against Facebook, there is little mention of the popular app. # ⚓ Microsoft_is_facing_a_subpoena_for_millions_of_documents_in Google’s_antitrust_case⠀⇛ The sweeping federal antitrust case against Google has given rise to a significant fight over data held by Microsoft, and the company is now facing a subpoena for millions of documents that could shed light on its attempts to compete with Google’s search engine. Having initially cooperated with prosecutors in building an antitrust case against Google, Microsoft could be obligated to produce millions more documents at the request of Google’s defense team. At a status hearing on Friday morning, Judge Amit Mehta heard arguments from both Google and Microsoft on the issue, but ultimately found more information was required before the court could give guidance as to how much internal data Microsoft would be required to produce. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ US_drops_extradition_against_one_Megaupload_defendant after_‘life-threatening’_illness_emerges⠀⇛ The Megaupload Four is now the Megaupload Three – the United States has dropped its extradition case against one of the defendants who has a “life-threatening” medical condition. Megaupload’s former marketing manager, Finn Batato, is no longer among those sought on a string of charges in the US copyright-related case. It comes as the tenth anniversary of the January 2012 arrest of the Megaupload Four approaches without an extradition date set. # ⚓ US_drops_extradition_against_Megaupload_defendant⠀⇛ The quiet dropping of the extradition of Batato was signalled in a single line of the latest Court of Appeal judgment. It recounted the charges and desired extradition of Kim Dotcom, Bram van der Kolk and Mathias Ortmann. It then said: “Until very recently, it was also seeking the extradition of Mr Batato but due to health issues no longer does so.” A footnote on the court order said that Batato was “formally discharged” by the District Court – where the extradition case was originally lodged – on June 10 this year. # ⚓ Scarlett_Johansson_Is_Suing_Disney_For_Its_Streaming Release_Of_‘Black_Widow’⠀⇛ MONDELLO: After the opening weekend, the numbers fell off a cliff. Industry observers suggest that one reason attendance fell so quickly is that Disney had screened the film simultaneously on Disney+, allowing audiences to bypass theaters and watch it at home. Scarlett Johansson is the film’s star and also its executive producer. She says in her lawsuit, which was first reported by The Wall Street Journal, that her agreement with Disney’s Marvel Entertainment guaranteed an exclusive theatrical opening and based her salary in part on the film’s box office performance. # ⚓ Games_Workshop_is_trying_to_shut_down_fan animations⠀⇛ Games Workshop is facing backlash after making changes to its IP [sic] Guidelines to clamp down on fan-made animations. For the most part, changes to Games Workshop’s IP Guidelines make a lot of sense. It makes sense for the miniatures company to enforce a zero tolerance policy towards people 3D printing its designs, for example. But things take a turn for the concerning when it comes to a note on fan-made animations, which reads: [...] # ⚓ Copyright_Troll_Richard_Liebowitz_Keeps_On_Losing_In Court⠀⇛ Copyright troll Richard Liebowitz (who once demanded he not be called a copyright troll), who has been suspended from practicing law in NY, continues to rack up embarrassing losses in court. I hadn’t realized that after the Southern District of NY suspended Liebowitz, a bunch of other courts followed suit, asking him why he shouldn’t be suspended elsewhere. In North Dakota, rather than fighting it, Liebowitz meekly consented to the suspension. In the Southern District of Illinois, Liebowitz didn’t even respond to the court’s order to show cause, and was thus suspended as well. In the Eastern District of NY he was suspended as well The 10th Circuit Appeals Court suspended Liebowitz as well. That’s based on just a quick look — it may have happened in other courts too. # ⚓ Jake_Paul_Fight_Piracy:_Judge_Dismisses_Triller’s Lawsuit_Against_YouTuber⠀⇛ After filing a wave of lawsuits against entities alleged to have streamed the Jake Paul vs Ben Askren fight without permission, Triller has clocked up another failure in a US court. A lawsuit filed against YouTuber ‘ItsLilBrandon’ has been thrown out by a judge after Triller failed to follow the court’s orders. # ⚓ BREIN_Pulled_466_Pirate_Sites_and_Services_Offline Last_Year⠀⇛ Dutch anti-piracy group BREIN is one of the most active civil copyright enforcement groups in the world. This week the group announced its 2020 achievements, which include the shutdown of hundreds of pirate sites and services, dozens of settlements, and a local Pirate Bay blockade. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4091 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.31.21⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ ✐ Links_31/7/2021:_Kernel_Additions_and_Linux_Mint_20.3_Release_Date⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 6:27 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Distributions o Devices/Embedded * Free_Software/Open_Source * Leftovers * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o ⚓ Where_to_Learn_Linux⠀⇛ If you’re new to Linux or if you just want to learn more about Linux and improve your professional skills, you might be wondering where to learn Linux. This article will help you. There are many options to choose from, ranging from written content to video tutorials and audiobooks. Each category with its own different choices. We’ll go through each one of them and guide you through all the options of where to learn Linux. o § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ # ⚓ Your_PC_is_not_compatible_with_Windows_11?_Here_are_your options!⠀⇛ The second option that you have is to switch to Linux. It requires more work on your part, as you have to find a suitable Linux distribution, alternatives to programs that are not available on Linux, and get to know a new operating system. Depending on the distribution, Linux may look and feel similar to Windows, or it may be a totally different experience. Most Linux distributions support Live operating systems, which means that you may run them without installing them. Instructions are provided on the websites, e.g. Linux Mint. Gamers find that most PC games work on Linux nowadays either directly or through applications such as Wine. Valve and its Steam service have pushed Linux compatibility significantly in recent time, and there are options to play games from other stores as well under Linux. The advantage of this method is that you will have no trouble finding a suitable distribution, and that most programs and games will either run or have suitable alternatives. Downside is that no programs or apps can be carried over, that it takes time to find a suitable distribution and get used to it. Some programs and apps are not available on Linux, and won’t run using Wine or other methods. # ⚓ The_10_Best_Websites_to_Run_Linux_in_a_Web_Browser⠀⇛ Linux is not everyone’s cup of tea. But does that mean you can’t get the hang of it on your own? Definitely not. You can embark on the journey to learn Linux-based operating systems even on your Windows and Mac device. Surprised? Well, don’t be, for the key lies in your browser. You can access Linux on your very own internet browser, right from your existing operating system. Still can’t believe it? Why not check out these websites and test them out for yourself? # ⚓ Top_50_HD_wallpaper_packs_for_your_Linux_PC⠀⇛ As a matter of fact, a suitable wallpaper is a motivation factor that can cheer you up while working on your machine. Any image based on your love’s cool colors can soothe and stimulate your senses while working, thus maintaining your activeness on your machine. This, therefore, means that selecting an appropriate wallpaper is super necessary as it plays a significant psychological role. Before looking at some of the best 50 HD wallpapers we have for you, let us first show you how you can easily change your desktop wallpaper without any issues. To have any of these wallpapers on your Linux computer, all you have to do is follow the steps below, and you will be good to go. o § Server⠀➾ # ⚓ How_microservices_and_containers_work,_apart_and_together⠀⇛ CMicroservices and containers are two methods that enable companies to more efficiently create and deliver applications. Here’s how they work — and when they’re best used together. Containers and microservices are related concepts that help companies design and adopt applications with speed, efficiency and flexibility. It’s hard to talk about one without also talking about the other. Microservices and containers are distinct technologies — they don’t have to be used together, but they often are. Let’s break down how each works, their key similarities and differences, and how an enterprise can use them in tandem. What are microservices? Microservices are individual units of software that combine to provide all of the functions required to run an application. Typically, each microservice handles a discrete type of functionality within an application. For example, one microservice handles logins, another generates the UI, another populates the interface with content specific to each user session and yet another interfaces with the database that stores user data. Until about 2010, most applications were monolithic designs in which the entire application ran as a single unit and, in most cases, as a single process. Prior to wide adoption of the internet and APIs, a service-oriented architecture (SOA) approach evolved to break applications into somewhat smaller pieces. However, the individual services within an SOA are typically not as small or dynamic as microservices. o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ A_Rolling_Release_Debian?_Install_The_“Unstable”_Branch!⠀⇛ Debian has three different branches: (1) stable, (2) testing and (3) unstable. The unstable branch “Sid” is a rolling release distribution similar to something like Arch Linux. You get the latest and greatest packages, unlike the standard “stable” edition of Debian, which can have very old packages. o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ First_mentions_of_AMD_RDNA1_“Cyan_Skillfish”_iGPU_for future_Ryzen_APUs_appear_in_Linux_code⠀⇛ All the leaked AMD processor roadmaps we got up until now show how Team Red plans to replace the Vega iGPUs with RDNA2 models. A bit strange to skip over the original RDNA architecture, considering that it offers a smaller die size with a fairly higher transistor density compared to its successor. Sure, it does not integrate ray tracing tech, but no one really expects good ray tracing performance from an iGPU anyway, plus it is also more cost effective due to its smaller die size. However, AMD might have reconsidered this aspect in the meantime, as Phoronix recently discovered mentions about a “Cyan Skillfish” iGPU based on the RDNA1 architecture for unnamed upcoming APUs in the Linux 5.15 OS code. It could be that AMD wants to keep the RDNA2 iGPUs on the more powerful APUs like the laptop H-series and the Pro G-series for desktops, while upcoming embedded and U-series may only feature the RDNA1 graphics since these models come with lower TDPs. An interesting alternative here would be the inclusion of these RDNA1 iGPUs on the high-end desktop processors, so that AMD could finally fully match what Intel is offering. # ⚓ Linux_5.14_Drops_Old_DEC_Alpha-Specific_Binary_Loader_Used For_x86_Binary_Emulation_–_Phoronix⠀⇛ As a weekend blast from the past, the Linux 5.14 kernel saw some Alpha CPU architecture updates — including various fixes and the removal of an Alpha-specific binary loader for running a decades dated x86 software emulator. While past the merge window, the Linux 5.14 code this week has dropped “binfmt_em86″ from the kernel. This is an Alpha binary loader for Linux focused on running i386/i486 binaries via the EM86 emulator in user-space. This was part of the effort for allowing Intel Linux x86 binaries back in the day to run on DEC Alpha hardware. # ⚓ The_New_NTFS_Driver_Looks_Like_It_Will_Finally_Be_Ready With_Linux_5.15_–_Phoronix⠀⇛ It’s looking like the new NTFS file-system kernel driver developed by Paragon Software and over the past year revised more than two dozen times could be ready for mainlining in the kernel in about one month’s time when the Linux 5.15 merge window opens. Everything is finally aligning and looking like the code is in good enough shape for its initial merging though not necessarily replacing the existing NTFS driver at this point. # ⚓ Linux_Changes_Pipe_Behavior_After_Breaking_Problematic Android_Apps_On_Recent_Kernels_–_Phoronix⠀⇛ At the end of 2019 a rework to the Linux kernel’s pipe code saw some of its logic reworked to only wake up readers if needed and avoid a possible thundering herd problem. But it turns out some Android libraries abused the functionality and this has led to broken Android applications when moving to recent kernels. While the user-space software is in the wrong, the kernel is sticking to its policy of not breaking user-space and as such Linus Torvalds has changed the code’s behavior for Linux 5.14 and to be back-ported to prior stable kernels. Rather than only waking up readers if needed, the change merged into the Linux kernel on Friday will make pipe writes always wake up readers. Due to some Android libraries like Realm misusing the EPOLL interface, the pipe change at the end of 2019 ended up breaking some Android apps. # ⚓ Linux’s_FWUPD_Expands_Poly_High-End_Web_Camera_Support_– Phoronix⠀⇛ For those looking to purchase a high-end Linux- friendly web camera for your home office or other environment, there are a few more options now compatible with Linux’s fwupd if interested in having the capability of updating the camera firmware under Linux. FWUPD has had support for updating firmware on the Poly Studio P30 web camera while now it’s been expanded to handle additional Poly web cameras. This expanded Poly support can be found with the new FWUPD 1.5.12 release. # ⚓ More_RT_Code_Out_For_Review,_RT_Patches_Updated_Against Linux_5.14_–_Phoronix⠀⇛ The real-time (RT) patches for the Linux kernel still appear a ways off from mainline but at least there is movement on this important patch series for embedded and other use-cases needing real-time support. While mainlining the long out-of-tree Linux “RT” patches has been brought up many times in recent years, earlier this year the developers noted the mainlining has been held up by a lack of funding in getting the patches across the finish line. The PREEMPT_RT “development and maintenance is currently stalled” at least as was the case earlier this year but does seem to be loosening up a bit now. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ 5_Popular_Free_And_Open_Source_Project_Management_Tools⠀⇛ Managing a project of any type is not an easy task. It involves resources planning, task assignment, following schedules and assuring everyone sticks to the deadline. Remote work became much more interesting after the COVID-19 crisis, which made it hard for project managers to coordinate and manage team members all over the world. This is why project management tools are essential in 2021. Several open source project management tools have matured enough to be able to compete with proprietary software. Being fully customizable and supported by the community is an important feature in open source PM tools since every project is unique in its core, and both the projects manager and his tools should be as adaptive as possible to avoid failure. Today, we’ll check some of the best open source project management programs in the market. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ What_Does_‐‐_(double_dash)_Mean_In_SSH_Shell_Command?⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_To_Install_Craft_CMS_on_Ubuntu_20.04_LTS_–_idroot⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Craft CMS on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

It is very popular due to its performance and full control of CMS. It is a secure and scalable CMS and comes with a lot of plugins that help you to customize your website easily. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step-by- step installation of the Craft content management system on Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa). You can follow the same instructions for Ubuntu 18.04, 16.04, and any other Debian-based distribution like Linux Mint. # ⚓ My_website_now_shows_an_icon_next_to_all_external_links_| Hund⠀⇛ My website now shows an icon next to all external links. I thought it would be a good idea on a website like mine, where there’s a lot of links to both internal and external sources. # ⚓ How_To_Install_ArangoDB_on_CentOS_8_–_idroot⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install ArangoDB on CentOS 8. For those of you who didn’t know, ArangoDB is an open-source NoSQL database manager and provides all the database features that are needed for a modern web application. ArangoDB does not use the traditional data storage system as in MySQL or PostgreSQL. It is specially designed for being high-performance, open-source, and easily scalable. This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you through the step-by- step installation of the ArangoDB NoSQL database on a CentOS 8. # ⚓ How_to_Install_Linux_Mint_Apps_(Hypnotix,_Webapp-Manager, etc)_via_PPA_in_Ubuntu_|_UbuntuHandbook⠀⇛ The Linux Mint team introduced many great new apps in recent releases. And now an Ubuntu PPA is available that contains these apps for all current Ubuntu releases. Without adding Linux Mint repository and setting the priority, an Ubuntu PPA is good choice to install or receive the package updates. And ‘Butterfly’, a top contributor of Linux Mint project on launchpad, maintains the PPA repository with packages so far for Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 21.04, and Ubuntu 21.10 support. # ⚓ DHCPv6_prefix_delegation_with_systemd-networkd_|_Major Hayden’s_Blog⠀⇛ My home internet comes from Spectrum (formerly Time Warner Cable) and they offer IPv6 addresses for cable modem subscribers. One of the handy features they provide is DHCPv6 prefix delegation. # ⚓ How_to_install_your_own_WireGuard_Server_in_under_five minutes⠀⇛ Whether you want to hide your identity from prying eyes or access content blocked by geo-restrictions, running a WireGuard server is an excellent solution to run your own VPN server. # ⚓ How_to_install_HAProxy_on_FreeBSD_–_Unixcop⠀⇛ HAProxy, as is name suggest, is a proxy server and a load balancer for provide high availability. In this article first I will show how to install HAProxy in FreeBSD. Next we will set up to act as a reverse proxy. # ⚓ What_Is_Podman_And_How_To_Install_Podman_In_Linux_– OSTechNix⠀⇛ This guide explains what is Podman, its features, difference between a Podman container and an image, and how to install Podman in Linux operating systems. # ⚓ How_to_Create_a_Linux_VPS_Server_on_Kamatera⠀⇛ his article is going to explain how to create a Linux VPS (Virtual Private Server) on Kamatera, so you can run your own email server and website. ScalaHosting vs Kamatera In a previous tutorial, I explained how to create a Linux VPS server on Scalahosting, which is my recommended hosting provider for running email servers, because it has the best IP reputation. However, Scalahosting plans start at $26/month (2 CPUs, 8GB RAM). It’s a bit expensive for some folks since they don’t need that much RAM to get started. If your business depends on email, I still recommend ScalaHosting, because it will you better email deliverability. If you are short of money, then you can choose Kamatera VPS hosting, which starts at $4/month (1 CPU, 1GB RAM) and you will get one month for free. I have email servers on both hosting providers and I will share my experience in Kamatera with you. # ⚓ January_25_–_Day_1_–_Raspberry_Pi_Cross_Compilation_Toolset |_mddionline.com⠀⇛ Today’s discussion will focus on building a Linux environment that will support the Raspberry Pi 4B C language cross-compilation process. # ⚓ 7_Tips_to_Customize_the_Look_of_Your_Linux_Terminal⠀⇛ The terminal emulator plays an integral part in a Linux system, and many users like to change its theme for a customized presentation. Users prefer a quick makeover within their Linux distribution. With a few tweaks, you can change the entire appearance of the terminal window. Since you spend most of your time within the terminal, why not make it look like what you prefer. The graphical user interface (GUI) does not need any special commands for customization, so a quick reference guide like this should serve you well. Check out the following tips for a quick, seamless transition from your old dull and drab terminal to a customized, rustic look. # ⚓ Scheduling_tasks_with_systemd_timers_on_Linux_|_FOSS Linux⠀⇛ Systemd is a service and system manager comprised of a collection of tools to perform different system tasks. One such tool is systemd timers, whose primary purpose is to schedule and run tasks during startup or repeatedly after a system boot. Systemd timers are an alternative to the scheduler cron or anacron. For sysadmins, scheduling tasks play a crucial role in automating your system’s boring or difficult tasks. This article is an introductory guide to system timers, their structure, and configurations with real-world examples. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ You_can_get_Delver,_Tower_of_Time_and_more_in_the_Humble RPG_Heroes_Bundle_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ It seems Humble Bundle are starting to ramp-up their game bundles again and they have another with the Humble RPG Heroes Bundle that has some great games inside. The bundle is on the smaller side though but even so, what’s there seems like a pretty good deal overall with some real indie gems included. # ⚓ Using_FSR_To_Boost_Any_Game’s_Framerate_on_Linux⠀⇛ Ever heard of the little war between AMD and Nvidia regarding upscaling technologies? Nvidia has DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and AMD has recently released FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution). [...] On Linux, we have an extra opportunity to use FSR, without asking anyone to do anything. Proton already has a full screen hack upscaler included, which prevents Windows games from trying to change the current screen’s resolution. This hack instead uses a software upscaler pretending the resolution change is happening while remaining at the native monitor’s resolution. If an old game uses 800×600 as maximum resolution, the upscaler will fill your 1920×1080 screen by scaling up that tiny picture so that it fits in the larger monitor screen. Some folks have had the genius idea to simply replace the basic upscaler included in Proton by… AMD’s FSR! It makes it work out of the work on any game that uses Vulkan through ProtonGE – a benefit that Windows gamers can’t get for now! Of course, this is NOT how you are supposed to use FSR: ideally you want to apply FSR on a picture before the HUD and the post processing is applied, but still, it’s an acceptable usage of the upscaler, and provide massive performance boosts. You can see the video I published earlier today for Max Payne 3 and how much boost I can get from a meager Nvidia GTX 1060 3GB (with 470.x drivers), without much visual information loss (Using Proton- 6.13-GE-1). o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ KDE’s_HiDPI_Scaling_Support_For_X11_Is_Getting_Into Better_Shape⠀⇛ While KDE on Wayland has generally enjoyed good HiDPI support, it’s now taken until 2021 for KDE’s X11 HiDPI support to be in a position of greater usability after evolving over the years. With KDE Frameworks 5.85, when using a high DPI scaling factor on X11 with the default Plasma scaling system, task manager icons, system tray icons, and tool button icons are now displayed the correct size. But this isn’t “the end” as there still are issues being tackled with some elements being too small and the like. At least more of the KDE desktop is behaving correctly under X11 with the HiDPI scale factor. # ⚓ Which_Linux_Desktop_Should_You_Use?_KDE_vs._GNOME⠀⇛ One of the first things you learn about Linux is that what you see on your screen doesn’t always match what you see on someone else’s. The interface, the way you interact with your PC, is often completely different even though you’re both using the same operating system. Windows and macOS both have one interface or desktop environment. Linux has many, and two of the most popular are KDE and GNOME. But how do you choose between them? # ⚓ Instructions:_Cut_videos_with_Kdenlive_on_Linux_and Windows [Ed: Automated translation]⠀⇛ A small clip for social media, a YouTube video about the last big trip, the hobby or even short film projects: the open source software Kdenlive is a versatile video editor that can be used to create very different videos. Getting started is pleasantly easy And if you want, you can also build small animations, add a subtitle track to the video and render it in the appropriate format for the desired publication platform. Lots of effects and transitions provide variety, a library saves clips that are used frequently so that they are quickly available in all projects. Generators produce clips with a countdown, white noise, or a test pattern. The Kdenlive user interface can be adjusted in detail so that everything goes quickly when editing video. # ⚓ My_Work_on_Documentation_(June/July)⠀⇛ After two month in documentation I can tell you this: documentation in general is quite alive and kicking. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇:)⦈ From the outside you might see outdated content here and there, but there are quite a few people working on improving that. Of course, as most things, it is a never-ending effort and every helping hand is appreciated. If you are interested in helping, please talk to us on our mailing list. One of the more time-consuming tasks is currently porting documentation from TechBase to the new Developer Portal. It’s basically copy&paste with some adjustments, so volunteers welcome 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇:)⦈ For me the time flew by blazingly fast. In the beginning … there was Akademy, the first conference for me. It meant getting up at 7 to go to work, joining Akademy when I came back home and staying up till midnight or longer for the last talks or events to finish. Processing and carving out the outcome of the three documentation BoF sessions is still on my todo list. In the time before and since Akademy, I have been busy reading through several years of documentation improvement planning backlog and fixing lots of smaller issues in existing docs in the wikis and on the new Developer Portal. This also included cleaning up some outdated content (EBN has been decommissioned) and proofreading other people’s documentation-related merge requests when asked to do so. Unfortunately, my first contribution to one of the website’s Git repositories is still unmerged at the time of writing. I blame me for that not keeping track of my own merge requests. But it also shows one of the things we need to put more effort into: closing merge requests (one way or another). Also, check your own merge requests once in a while. o § Distributions⠀➾ # ⚓ Linspire-based_Linux_distro_Freespire_embraces_cloud_apps with_‘an_entirely_new_direction’⠀⇛ # ⚓ Freespire_7.7_Released_with_Xfce_4.16_and_Kernel_5.4⠀⇛ Freespire 7.7 is here based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) and still does not incorporate any proprietary media codecs. Freespire is a desktop oriented Ubuntu-based Linux distro powered by Xfce. For those not in the know it is the open source equivalent of Linspire, but containing mostly libre / FOSS components. It contains many of the same software packages as Linspire, but it strictly follows the Free and Open Source Software philosophy of providing only license-free software. So any Linspire packages that require the community-based Freespire developer team to purchase a license to redistribute the distro are left out. # ⚓ Deepin_vs._Ubuntu_–_which_Linux_distro_is_for_you?⠀⇛ Deepin Linux, a.k.a Deepin OS, is widely regarded as the most beautiful-looking Linux distro out there. In fact, it can even give proprietary OSes like Windows and macOS a run for their money in terms of looks and aesthetics. Furthermore, the distro’s focus on stability and ease of use gives Linux newcomers all the more reasons to fall in love with Deepin OS. Now, on the flip side, we have Ubuntu – a distro so popular that its name is synonymous with Linux to the outside world. Ubuntu is backed by a massive community, has access to almost all the major Linux software, and gives users a complete ready-to-use desktop experience right out of the box. This is why it’s our top pick for the best Linux distro for beginners. And this brings us to the question of the hour – which is the better distro? Deepin or Ubuntu? To answer that, we have put together a detailed overview giving you an in-depth look at the major differences between the two distros. By the end, you should have a clear idea of which Linux distro is best for your needs and requirements. # § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ MX_Linux_21_Beta_1_Released:_Here’s_What’s_New⠀⇛ While the world’s busy trying out Windows 11, GNU/Linux users are busy distro-hopping. Developers, on the other hand, are busy with new distro releases. MX Linux, which stands first in Distrowatch’s distributions leaderboard, has a new beta release available for testing purposes. The Developers are calling it MX Linux 21 Beta 1. If you’re wondering what happened to MX Linux 20, the developers follow a year- based version number for major releases. In this article, let’s look at what’s new in the release. # ⚓ 4MLinux_37.0_Distro_Released,_Powered_by_Linux_Kernel 5.10_LTS_with_Reiser4_Support⠀⇛ More than four months in development, 4MLinux 37.0 is here with support for more software that you can install via extensions, since this is a modular Linux distro. The new apps that you can install in this release are the Dmidecode tool for reading hardware-related data from SMBIOS, FluidSynth software synthesizer with VMPK (Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard, HandBrake video transcoder, and qBittorrent BitTorrent client. Under the hood, there are even better news as 4MLinux 37.0 is powered by the long-term supported Linux 5.10 LTS kernel series, which has been patched to support the Reiser4 file system. This means that you should be able to install 4MLinux on a Reiser4 formatter drive, but also to handle such disk drives. # § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ Recently_and_soon_in_openSUSE_#1⠀⇛ Today (Saturday 31st of August, 17:00 UTC) is the third installment of the recently rejuvenated Community meetings! Taking place on Jist Meet, it will be an excellent opportunity to discuss and coordinate on solutions for improving things in the Project. One important topic will be openSUSE Membership, soon to be affected by the shutdown of connect-o-o. # § IBM/Red Hat/Fedora⠀➾ # ⚓ Dealing_with_burnout_in_open_source [Ed: Sorry, IBM/ Red Hat... but burnout is burnout and can happen to anybody, nothing to do with Free software ("open source"); this is as silly as your several articles about breakfasts for "open source people" (as if coding and software licences affect your diet). You've run out of topics. This Web site called Open Source dot com has become a lot of openwashing, IBM marketing and general non-tech articles being painted with the "open" crush to make it seem "tech".]⠀⇛ Burnout is something you don’t expect to happen to you—until it does. The technology industry is one of the worst offenders; over 60% of industry professionals report they’ve experienced burnout. Sixty percent! Chances are, you or someone you know has dealt with it. How can we tackle such a staggering burnout rate if those who make decisions about mental health barely know what burnout is, never mind how to prevent it? # § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Monthly_News_–_July_2021⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux_Mint_20.3_coming_Christmas_2021⠀⇛ Windows 11 is rumored to be released in October, and since it is already in the Beta Channel, that rumor seems plausible. So, yeah, Microsoft is sure to dominate headlines in the final quarter of the year. While a new version of Windows is surely exciting, that won’t be the only operating system getting a new version later in the year. You see, the Linux Mint developers have shared some exciting news about when version 20.3 of the Ubuntu-based distro will be available for download. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Unlock_the_Chromecast_with_Google_TV_bootloader_to_run LineageOS_or_Ubuntu_(older_models_only)⠀⇛ The $50 Chromecast with Google TV is a dongle that hangs from the HDMI port of a TV, allowing you to stream video, listen to music, or play games using Google’s software. Want to use it for something more? A team of developers have just released a method for unlocking the bootloader. That makes it possible to replace Google’s software with alternate operating systems such as the open source, Android-based LineageOS or even a GNU/Linux distribution like Ubuntu. But before you get too excited, you should know that the bootloader can only be unlocked on some Chromecast units. # § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Xiaomi_Android_12_update_tracker:_Eligible_devices, release_date,_&_more⠀⇛ # ⚓ The_Motorola_Edge_20_series_will_be_updated_to Android_12_and_Android_13⠀⇛ # ⚓ LG_Android_11_update_(LG_UX_10)_list_of_eligible devices_&_release_date⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android_Authority:_Nearly_50%_of_Users_Turn_Off_5G⠀⇛ # ⚓ The_Best_New_Android_Games_This_Week_–_Pixel Remasters,_Sky_Gamblers,_Contra_Returns_and_More_– Droid_Gamers⠀⇛ # ⚓ Best_Android_Phones_in_2021:_Which_Android_Device_Is Right_For_You?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Samsung_Galaxy_S21_series_is_receiving_the_August 2021_Android_security_patch_–_GSMArena.com_news⠀⇛ # ⚓ 15_new_(and_1_WTF)_Android_games_from_the_last_week: The_best,_worst,_and_everything_in_between_(7/25/21_– 7/31/21)⠀⇛ # ⚓ Google_To_End_Support_For_Android_V2.3.7_And_Lower; What_Should_You_Do?_–_Gizbot_News⠀⇛ o § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Haiku_R1/Beta3_released⠀⇛ Going from beta 2 to beta 3 is a giant leap if you haven’t been keeping up. Haiku is much farther along than people think, with the biggest drawback being, as always, that hardware support is going to be a mixed bag. Haiku is still every bit as clean, fast, and enticing as the original BeOS was over two decades ago, and I’ve scored two junkyard office PCs to see if I can get a proper Haiku box running. # § Web Browsers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Mozilla_VPN_Review [Ed: One paragraph before last shows that Mozilla does not actually do VPN; it’s a reseller for some dodgy company, reusing the Firefox brand to sell a_bunch_of_crap or upsell (likely bogus privacy or a ticking time bomb)]⠀⇛ Mozilla VPN protects your privacy, and your subscription fee supports a proponent of a free internet. It’s a simple service for anyone who needs a virtual private network, but it offers no bonus privacy tools beyond the VPN. [...] Mozilla VPN is not, strictly speaking, wholly a Mozilla project like Firefox. Instead of building and maintaining the infrastructure required for a consumer VPN, Mozilla found another company to partner with. During Mozilla’s earliest forays into the world of VPNs, Mozilla courted Editors’ Choice-winner ProtonVPN. # § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ MySQL_data_types:_Know_the_ones_to_use_and_how⠀⇛ When creating a table in a database, it should have both a name and a data type. A column’s data type defines the values the column holds, such as integer, money, binary, character, date, and time. Therefore, it is a developer’s task to determine which data types will be stored in each column while creating databases and tables. In simple terms, data types are guidelines that aid SQL in understanding what type of data is required inside a column. It is also efficient in identifying how SQL interacts with the stored data. A point to note is that data types might contain different names in different databases, and in cases where the names are the same, other aspects and details such as size will differ. Therefore, it is recommended that you always refer to documentation whenever you encounter similar cases. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Integrity/Availability⠀➾ # § Proprietary⠀➾ # § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Chris_Lamb:_Free_software_activities_in_July 2021⠀⇛ One of the original promises of open source software is that distributed peer review and transparency of process results in enhanced end-user security. However, whilst anyone may inspect the source code of free and open source software for malicious flaws, almost all software today is distributed as pre-compiled binaries. This allows nefarious third parties to compromise systems by injecting malicious code into ostensibly secure software during the various compilation and distribution processes. The motivation behind the Reproducible Builds effort is to ensure no flaws have been introduced during this compilation process by promising identical results are always generated from a given source, thus allowing multiple third- parties to come to a consensus on whether a build was compromised. [...] As part of my role of being the assistant Secretary of the Open Source Initiative and a board director of Software in the Public Interest I attended their respective monthly meetings. As outlined in last months posts, however, my term on the OSI board has been slightly extended due to the discovery of a vulnerability in OSI’s recent election — as a result, the 2021 election is currently being re-run. # ⚓ Aaron_Portnoy_–_‘There’s_no_silver_bullet_for ransomware_or_supply_chain_attacks’ [Ed: When you receive packages from Microsoft/GitHub/NPM you're basically begging for malware. Not just PRISM; Microsoft literally brings people from the NSA to run GitHub/NPM.]⠀⇛ # ⚓ This_Week_In_Security:_Fail2RCE,_TPM_Sniffing, Fishy_Leaks,_And_Decompiling_|_Hackaday⠀⇛ Fail2ban is a great tool for dynamically blocking IP addresses that show bad behavior, like making repeated login attempts. It was just announced that a vulnerability could allow an attacker to take over a machine by being blocked by Fail2ban. The problem is in the mail-whois action, where an email is sent to the administrator containing the whois information. Whois information is potentially attacker controlled data, and Fail2ban doesn’t properly sterilize the input before piping it into the mail binary. Mailutils has a feature that uses the tilde key as an escape sequence, allowing commands to be run while composing a message. Fail2ban doesn’t sanitize those tilde commands, so malicious whois data can trivially run commands on the system. Whois is one of the old-school unix protocols that runs in the clear, so a MItM attack makes this particularly easy. If you use Fail2ban, make sure to update to 0.10.7 or 0.11.3, or purge any use of mail- whois from your active configs. # ⚓ Ransomware_Changes:_DoppelPaymer_Rebrands; Babuk_Evolves⠀⇛ One example is the DoppelPaymer – aka DopplePaymer – ransomware-as-a-service operation, which has gone relatively quiet since early May, posting no victims to its data leak site since May 6 and no leaked files since June 25. But one expert says the operation appears to have been rebranded by its operator, Evil Corp, in an attempt to avoid sanctions imposed on the crime group in December 2019 by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. The Babuk ransomware operation also recently appears to have altered its approach – if not splintered – following its late-April ransomware attack against the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, D.C. # ⚓ The_Week_in_Ransomware_–_July_30th_2021_–_€1 billion_saved⠀⇛ We also saw ransomware groups continue to innovate with LockBit 2.0 now using group policies to automate the deployment of their ransomware over a Windows domain. I shared what I know about the inner conflict of the Babuk ransomware gang… # ⚓ Secure_applications_with_Keycloak authentication_tool [Ed: Is this journalism or "sales"?]⠀⇛ o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Bitcoin_Whale_Moves_$BTC_After_It_Appreciated_Over_630,000% in_9_Years [Ed: When it sounds like a bubble it probably is...]⠀⇛ A total of 791 bitcoin that had been dormant for over nine years has moved. The coins came from an address that was relatively active back in 2012, when the price of bitcoin was trading between $5 and $15. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Exposing_the_Technocratic-Transhumanist-CyberPandemic Agenda_with_Whitney_Webb⠀⇛ ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 5354 ➮ Generation completed at 02:41, i.e. 82 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
