This is specifically about sites and projects that act like government- or military-connected entities, resorting to sanctions that are misguided; those sanctions are punishing the wrong people, sometimes punishing also the victims. Some have gone as far as collective punishment against all the people of Belarus (many of whom strongly oppose the regime) and some have suggested breaking_the_whole_Internet, as Mike Masnick noted yesterday, dubbing it a “Very, Very Bad Idea”… 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Russians not in LibreOffice, Russians get no GOG, Russian code rejected, Belarus boycott; Yes, so?⦈ In some cases, the message is more subtle, e.g. OS News with a Ukrainian flag (shown in the above video). Several distros of GNU/Linux did the same (in the video I show only one of them, a Polish one based on Debian, though I saw French examples too). One French software developer, whose views are similar to mine, said we need to stop the war. That should be the priority and collective punishment isn’t likely to convince Vladimir Putin; it might even radicalise him further. This wartime_propaganda_is_inciting_people_to_act_irrationally, so some have adopted ill-advised suggestions, wrongly assuming that bans in the Free software world would somehow change Putin’s mind. Below we show one of several messages from RMS on this subject, with context and threaded index here (lots of messages). █ The GNU Project stays neutral on unrelated political issues. It does not take sides in international disputes, except for disputes about free software issues. A free license must offer the four freedoms to all users, and it must not try to restrict what jobs users can do with the program. See https://gnu.org/philosophy/programs-must-not-limit-freedom-to- run.html for why this must be so. The FSF must obey US law, including any sanctions on dealings between US organizations and Russians or Russian companies. I think that is what Devin was talking about. But that won’t affect whether Russians can use free software. – Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡀⢠⣤⣤⣤⠄⠤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣴⣶⣿⣿⣶⠀⣴⣆⣀⣶⣄⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣽⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡏⢠⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣿⣻⣾⣻⣓⣴⣿⣦⡄⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣤⣀⣤⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠷⠟⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣯⠓⠀⠶⠂⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⠾⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠁⣝⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣧⡀⠀⠀⣧⣴⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⠿⠛⠃⠀⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⠈⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣶⠆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢻⣟⠿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣿⣷⡄⠸⣦⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⢀⣾⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠹⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⠿⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠘⣿⠗⠈⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⠘⠙⠿⠾⡿⠿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⡿⠀⢿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠶⠶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡀⠀⠉⠯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⢸⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⢾⣿⡇⣯⡓⢿⣛⣿⢸⣿⢸⣿⡷⣯⡃⢸⣷⡇⣿⣷⢻⡟⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣧⠀⠀⢠⣤⢀⣤⣤⣤⣤⡄⣀⣤⣿⡁⠀⡇⠀⢀⣤⣤⣀⠀⣠⣤⣅⠀⢀⣤⣤⡀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠸⠿⠟⠿⠇⠿⠟⠻⠟⠿⠾⠻⠿⠿⠗⠿⠇⠸⠟⠇⠿⠟⠸⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⡆⠀⠘⣿⣼⡿⢸⣿⡏⠁⣿⣯⡿⠿⠀⠁⠀⣿⣿⡹⠿⢸⣿⡏⣿⡇⠿⠿⢹⣿⠸⣿⣿⣿⡜⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⡗⡄⠀⣶⢰⣴⡆⢰⡆⣶⣶⢦⢰⣶⣤⡶⢤⣶⣤⡶⢶⡶⣶⣰⢶⣰⡿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣧⠀⠀⢹⣿⠇⢸⣿⡟⠃⣈⡻⣿⣦⠠⣤⣀⣈⣛⢿⣷⢸⣿⡇⣿⡇⣶⣶⣾⡿⢀⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⠀⢣⡀⣿⢸⢿⡇⢸⣇⣿⣿⣹⢼⣿⣿⣟⣸⣿⣿⡏⢹⡏⣿⢿⣰⢼⣏⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⢸⣿⣷⡆⢿⣷⣿⡿⣶⡖⡍⠻⣿⣼⡿⡘⢿⣷⣿⠇⣾⣶⣐⣤⣼⣯⣭⣽⣿⠀ ⠀⠉⠉⠁⠈⠛⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠚⠋⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠀⠙⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣐⣛⣀⠐⠛⠈⠘⠓⠒⠒⠒⠛⠛⠛⠒⠚⠛⠒⠚⠛⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣄⠀⣀⡴⠒⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣼⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠛⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⡿⠋⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⣿⢿⣿⡿⣿⡄⡿⣷⣒⣿⣳⢀⢶⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⣀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣧⣾⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣾⣶⣿⣛⡿⡧⠀⣠⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢉⣥⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠟⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣯⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣆⠀⠀⠀⡏⢩⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⣷⣤⣽⣿⣿⠹⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⣀⡀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣿⣦⠀⢠⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⣿⣯⠉⣽⣿⠀⠀⠈⠙⠛⢿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠋⠁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣷⡍⠛⣿⠓⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣧⠸⠿⣯⣸⣿⣿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⠚⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣥⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠋⠩⠭⣭⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡄⢠⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⡃⣶⣦⣶⣶⢰⣶⢤⣾⣵⡆⣾⡇⣶⣴⣴⣶⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣆⠀⠀⢉⣀⠀⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⢀⣠⣟⡃⠈⡇⠀⢀⣠⣄⣀⠀⣀⣨⣁⡀⠀⣀⣄⡀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠁⣿⣷⢿⣿⢨⣿⢮⣿⣾⣧⡿⣷⣿⣿⢬⣻⠄⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⡀⠀⠈⣿⣷⣿⠁⣿⡟⠋⣿⣿⡹⠿⠀⠃⠀⢸⣿⡹⠿⢠⣿⡏⣿⣧⠸⠿⢹⣿⡜⣿⣿⣿⣻⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⡀⢀⣀⡀⣀⡀⠀⣀⡀⣀⣀⢀⣀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣇⠀⠀⢸⣿⡏⠀⣿⡿⠇⣈⣻⣿⣦⠀⡀⠀⢈⣛⢿⣷⢸⣿⡇⣿⣿⢰⣶⣼⣿⠁⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⠁⠇⢀⠀⠀⢸⡧⣭⣿⠆⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⡧⡥⣿⣿⣿⢬⡅⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⠀⣿⣷⣶⢻⣿⣼⡿⢰⡏⡳⠸⣿⣼⣿⠋⢿⣧⣿⠏⢸⣿⠠⠂⣸⣿⣿⣟⣛⠀ ⠀⠿⠿⠄⠸⠿⠂⠀⠆⠙⠉⠉⠡⠉⠀⠈⠉⠉⠙⠁⠈⠛⠁⠙⠋⠈⠋⠁⠀⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠷⠾⠀⠻⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠒⠂⠀⠾⠐⠴⠾⠼⠵⠯⠤⠤⠴⠶⠶⠶⠤⠤⠤⠤⠰⠾⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⢀⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠀⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣀⢰⣶⣶⣶⠂⠒⡶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡾⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⣾⣏⢄⣷⡦⠀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡏⣰⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣼⣯⣽⣿⣯⣿⣧⣯⣵⣾⣯⣿⣼⣽⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣥⣤⣤⡶⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⢟⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠛⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⡶⠿⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣎⣙⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠋⠉⠉⠁⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣷⡄⠀⢀⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⠿⠟⠋⠁⠀⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⠀⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠷⠆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⡻⣿⣟⡿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⡄⢘⣶⡟⢻⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⢠⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠿⠿⠿⣟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⡋⢀⡾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⠈⠉⢻⣾⣿⣿⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⣀⣀⣘⣟⢀⣻⣃⡀⣀⡀⣀⢀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡄⠀⠁⠓⣀⡀⢀⣀⢀⣀⣀⡀⣀⣛⣃⠸⡇⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⣈⣉⡀⠀⢀⣀⣀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠉⣿⡏⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⣿⣿⣻⣯⣘⣿⣽⡇⣿⣷⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣷⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣾⡟⢸⣿⠛⢱⣿⡏⠿⠇⡇⠀⠀⣿⣏⠿⠇⣼⣿⢹⣿⡀⡿⡏⣿⣧⢿⣿⣿⢿⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠃⠛⠋⠙⠛⠘⠛⠙⠃⠋⠛⠛⠙⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⠁⢸⣿⠿⠀⡛⢿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⡙⢿⣷⡄⣿⣿⢸⣿⡇⣶⣦⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⡞⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⠟⡆⠀⠀⣾⢻⢶⣿⡆⣿⣷⢸⣟⠀⣿⣷⣿⡃⣿⢸⣟⣼⢻⡞⣿⢻⣟⢸⣿⡎⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣤⡜⣿⣧⣿⡇⣤⢠⠀⣿⣧⣿⡟⢹⣿⣼⣿⠁⣭⡅⠍⢠⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⡀⢱⣴⡀⠿⡼⠺⣿⠇⠿⠿⠸⠯⠀⠿⠿⠿⠥⠿⠸⠯⠻⡼⠆⠿⠸⠯⠼⠿⠇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⡄⠀⣤⢆⣩⣷⣦⣫⡦⠀⠀⢉⣥⣀⣀⣈⣉⡀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣾⣿⣷⣶⣶⠀ ⠀⠉⠉⠁⢈⣉⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠉⠉⠉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⠀⣉⣉⣁⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣈⣉⣀⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⠉⢉⣉⣉⣉⡉⢉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣠⣴⣶⣶⣤⠀⣠⡌⠉⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣳⣾⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠉⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡟⢁⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣿⢿⣽⢿⠭⣠⣿⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣀⡀⣄⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣷⡿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣟⠗⠀⣤⠄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣿⣿⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠊⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠟⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡾⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣦⠀⠀⠀⣏⣰⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠇⠀⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣤⡄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣿⣧⡀⢰⣍⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣷⠀⣼⣿⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢻⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠍⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⡦⠙⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣷⠰⠻⣷⣼⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⠿⠈⠿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠉⠁⠒⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡆⢰⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⡟⠀⢸⣿⡇⣿⡃⣿⢸⣿⣸⣿⡇⣿⣿⢺⣟⠂⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣇⠀⠀⢠⣤⢀⣤⡄⣤⣤⡄⢀⣤⣽⡁⠈⡇⠀⢀⣤⣤⣄⠀⣠⣤⣥⡀⢀⣤⣤⣄⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠁⠀⠸⠿⠇⠿⠦⠿⠾⠿⠿⠿⠇⠿⠿⠸⠽⠃⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⡄⠀⠈⣿⣾⣿⠀⣿⣏⡁⣿⣯⡻⠿⠀⠃⠀⢾⣿⣹⠿⢸⣿⡏⣿⡇⠾⠿⢸⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⡹⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⡧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⢠⢤⣀⡤⣄⣤⣤⣤⢤⢠⣤⡤⣤⡤⣤⡤⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣇⠀⠀⢹⣿⡇⠀⣿⡟⠃⣈⣛⢿⣷⢀⣀⡀⣈⣛⢿⣷⢸⣿⡇⣿⡇⢰⣶⣾⡿⠀⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⠀⣿⣿⠁⢇⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣻⣿⣇⣿⢹⡇⣿⣨⢼⣿⡇⢸⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⠇⠀⣿⣷⣶⠻⣿⣾⡿⢰⡎⡛⠸⣿⣼⡿⠘⢿⣧⣿⠇⢰⣶⠐⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣯⠀ ⠀⠛⠛⠂⠘⠿⠁⠀⠃⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠉⠁⠈⠁⠈⠉⠀⠉⠀⠈⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠛⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠻⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠠⠟⠀⠲⠿⠮⠾⠧⠤⠶⠶⠿⠷⠶⠶⠶⠶⠦⠴⠿⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 216 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2022/03/03/from-ukraine-with-love/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/03/03/from-ukraine-with-love/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 03.03.22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Message_to_LibrePlanet_(From_Ukraine)_‘Censored’_But_Not_Ignored⠀✐ Posted in FSF, GNU/Linux at 7:20 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Ukraine flag: FSF says 'We respond. But quietly.'⦈ Summary: Free as in free speech; but not for everyone… In past years we learned that certain Free/Libre software developers had been banned from GNU and LibrePlanet mailing lists. To make matters worse, bans in the GNU domain (as a whole) meant that they were unable to reach pertinent people, including Richard Stallman, who pioneered and championed the movement. “The response, which was amicable, was sent by the Campaigns Manager of the Free Software Foundation (FSF).”“Mail sent by a Ukrainian advocate from shelter to libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org,” we’ve learned, “is censored but gets private response.” The Ukrainian name is redacted for privacy reasons. The response, which was amicable, was sent by the Campaigns Manager of the Free Software Foundation (FSF).

it’s becoming more and more like a front group of proprietary software, offering sinister technology_giants a bunch of openwashing services; contrary to that, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) fought to regain its identity and this week we saw evidence of that THE video above concerns the appointment of Zoë Kooyman, which we mentioned_two days_ago. Since doing that video, based on this_announcement, Kooyman herself wrote this_statement, shown above in the video. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Microsoft and FSF⦈ Some people have been asking what it means to the FSF (and to GNU), so I wanted to respond in the form of a video (“No Derivative” so people cannot distort what I actually said). Kooyman was in fact selected (promoted) months ago. It has meanwhile been advertised by the new chief of the OSI that, following his admission that half_of_the_OSI's_budget_goes_to_Microsoft, there’s now even more_of_Microsoft inside the management and steering team. “He is Director of Developer Policy and Counsel for” Microsoft. Now he’s also a Director at the OSI. To quote: “Joining the board as a Director is Justin Colannino, who was appointed by the board in January. Justin joins us with a decade of experience representing clients at the intersection of free and open source software communities and for-profit enterprises. He is Director of Developer Policy and Counsel for GitHub where he advocates for developers’ ability to innovate, collaborate, and have equal opportunity. Justin also serves as Senior Corporate Counsel, Open Source and Standards for Microsoft where he is part of a small team that oversees legal processes to enable open source engagement at massive scale, as well as maintaining an active pro-bono practice for free and open source software communities.” 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Microsoft and OSI⦈ When it comes to advocacy, the OSI has been dead for years. No wonder many have left. Drew_DeVault_thinks_he_can change_OSI_for_the_better, but the OSI is already thoroughly infiltrated and it’ll resist any meaningful change. The board now has a Director who is clearly hostile; those are people who are attacking Open Source and Software Freedom (GitHub is an attack on both; it is also an attack on communities and on Git itself (EEE)). The OSI isn’t merely irrelevant. It’s just dead. Or in the words of an associate, “OSI is more than dead, it is malignant.” Don’t waste even a single dollar on it. Microsoft already subsidises this front group, just like it does the Linux_Foundation, which openly attacks Linux and even advocates/promotes the competition of Linux. Sure, it calls itself the “Linux Foundation”, but that doesn’t mean it really cares about Linux (look_who_runs_it!) and similarly the Open Source Initiative is happy to promote Microsoft’s proprietary software at the expense of Open Source. █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠅⢸⠸⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⡄⣤⠀⠂⠇⣸⢸⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⠀⠘⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⢀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⠈⡆⠀⡇⠀⡇⡇⣿⠀⠀⡇⡟⢸⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⢸⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿

spent on News Roundups (Daily Links), which have been popular since they started around 2008; Gemini links will be included more and more over time because Geminispace is almost 100% SPAM-free THE exit from social control media is near, with the doomsday clock set to Friday around 8PM when JoinDiaspora shuts down. The modality won’t be missed (it was corrosive_on_the_grand_scheme_of_things, especially in recent years when experiments became reality) and the time freed up can instead be invested in better activities. “We intend to produce more software tools to help improve signal-to-noise ratio on the Internet…”Yesterday we worked on improving Daily Links, which have been posted here for about 14 years (everyday routine). The changes can be seen in Git and the outcome is shown in the video above. We intend to produce more software tools to help improve_signal-to-noise_ratio on_the_Internet; this extends to Geminispace, which is shown in the video above. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 718 ╒═══════════════════

Bad_Volume_3×42:_That_High_Level_of_Unlikeliness⠀⇛ Bonus 1: Canonical will not be acquired # ⚓ BSD_Now_444:_Historic_Developments⠀⇛ The History of Berkeley DB, modern inetd in FreeBSD, the Unix argv[0] issue, retrocomputing can be more than games, read section 8 of the Unix users manual, and more. o § Benchmarks⠀➾ # ⚓ AnandTech ☛ SPEC_Adds_Linux_Edition_of_SPECviewperf_2020 v3.0_Benchmark⠀⇛ The SPEC Graphics Performance Characterization (SPECgpc) group updated the Windows version of the workstation GPU benchmark suite – SPECviewperf 2020 – twice last year. The intent of the benchmark is to replay GPU workload traces from real-world professional applications (Maya for media and entertainment, Catia, Creo, NX, and Solidworks for CAD/CAM, OpendTect for the energy industry, and the Tuvok visualization library for rendering medical images). Version 3.0, released in December 2021, updated the Solidworks viewset to better reflect the OpenGL API calls in the latest version of the software. Version 2.0 had enabled selective downloading of the viewsets. While the Windows version of the benchmark had been through three versions, the Linux community was left out, having to rely on the SPECviewperf 13 released almost a decade ago. That is changing today with the availability of the Linux edition of SPECviewperf 2020 v3.0. The benchmark updates the viewsets with traces from the latest versions of the relevant applications and also updates the models to match the Windows version. Since the benchmarks wrapper framework (even for the Windows version) is based on Node-Webkit (now NW.js), the creation of a Linux edition had to mainly deal with the actual viewset processing. Automation and results processing are identical between the Windows and Linux versions. # ⚓ Globe Newswire ☛ Standard_Performance_Evaluation Corporation_Releases_Linux_Edition_of_SPECviewperf_2020_v3.0 Benchmark,_Worldwide_Standard_for_Measuring_Graphics Performance⠀⇛ The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation’s (SPEC) Graphics Performance Characterization (SPECgpc) today released a Linux Edition of its SPECviewperf 2020 v3.0 performance benchmark, the worldwide standard for measuring graphics performance based on professional applications. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ How_To_Install_Zoom_Client_on_Manjaro_21_–_idroot⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Zoom Client on Manjaro 21. For those of you who didn’t know, Zoom is a software solution that provides video and online chat services through a cloud-based peer-to-peer software platform. The Zoom software application lets you organize meetings, host webinars, and open conference rooms for meetings online. 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 Zoom Client on a Manjaro 21 (Pahvo). # ⚓ How_to_Install_PowerShell_on_Fedora [Ed: Bad advice; suggests giving Microsoft root access (total control) over your GNU/Linux box.]⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_to_build_redundancy_into_your_network_(and_what_to avoid)_|_Enable_Sysadmin⠀⇛ Redundancy with automated failover is good. But making the wrong decisions can make a high- availability solution worse than no redundancy at all. # ⚓ How_to_Install_Notepad++_on_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS_– LinuxCapable⠀⇛ Notepad++ is a free and powerful tool that you can use to edit both texts and source code. The famous editor is initially designed for Windows PCs and written in C language with pure Win32 API that ensures higher execution speed. This makes it possible to optimize routines without sacrificing user-friendliness, which reduces carbon emissions from your computer when using less power consumption resulting in a greener environment. In the following tutorial, you will learn how to install Notepad++ on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish using Snap (Snapcraft.io) as a means to install Wine to emulate Windows and Notepad++. # ⚓ How_to_Install_NotepadQQ_on_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS_– LinuxCapable⠀⇛ Notepadqq is a free and open-source text editor program for Linux. It’s an alternative to Notepad++, which many programmers and even general desktop power users often use as their notepad of choice due to its ease and minimalism it offers, while others prefer its more robust features, such as multiline editing or variables scope overloading. In the following tutorial, you will learn how to install NotepadQQ on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish using two different methods with APT and Flatpak as an alternative installation method of installing Notepad++ using the snap package manager and wine. # ⚓ How_to_install_Caddy_web_server_on_Rocky_Linux_8_/_Alma Linux_8_–_The_very_secure_web_server⠀⇛ Although the web server market is largely dominated by Nginx and Apache HTTPD, there are other alternatives. That is why today, you will learn how to install Caddy web server on Rocky Linux / Alma Linux 8 / CentOS 8. # ⚓ How_to_Run_Sudo_Commands_Without_a_Password⠀⇛ While working with Linux, we find that access to some files or performing sensitive operations requires users to have elevated privileges. The sudo command temporarily elevates user privileges allowing a user to execute sensitive commands or access files without restrictions. # ⚓ Setup_SFTP_and_Prevent_SSH_on_Ubuntu_20.04_–_Cloudbooklet⠀⇛ Setup SFTP and Prevent SSH on Ubuntu 20.04. SFTP (Secure File transfer Protocol), a secure way to transfer files to servers using encrypted SSH connections. All servers with SSH will have SFTP enabled by default. In this guide you are going to learn how to limit SFTP access to a directory for a particular user and prevent SSH access. This setup is tested on a virtual machine running Ubuntu 20.04 OS. So this tutorial should work on any severs with Ubuntu. # ⚓ REST_API_error_modeling_with_Quarkus_2.0_|_Red_Hat Developer⠀⇛ In the previous installment of the Quarkus from the ground up series, you saw the beginnings of a fully functional, OpenAPI-compliant REST API built using Quarkus. That article covered all of the architectural layers, from managing database schemas with Flyway to building the API itself with RESTEasy Reactive. You saw happy-path use cases, but didn’t get into the concepts around error handling. In this article, you’ll dive into error handling, build a solid error response model, and see how you can help API consumers reduce toil in their work. o § Wine or Emulation⠀➾ # ⚓ What’s_new_in_vkd3d_1.3⠀⇛ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ vkd3d_version_1.3_released_from_the_Wine team_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Not to be confused with VKD3D-Proton that the Valve team work on, the original vkd3d from the Wine team continues to be updated and a new release is out now. For anyone confused, both of them translate Direct3D 12 to Vulkan. For one thing, Valve is naturally focused only on gaming, which can often come with the drawback of needing the most up to date drivers and not supporting older systems, whereas the Wine team have to support pretty much any software that could run on Windows. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Mortal_Kombat_ROM_Hack_Kontinues_Arcade_Legacy_| Hackaday⠀⇛ September 13th 1993, colloquially known as Mortal Monday, became as dividing line in the battle for 16-bit supremacy. The mega popular arcade game Mortal Kombat was ported to Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis consoles, and every fanboy and fangirl had an opinion on which version truly brought the hits. The Super Nintendo version opted to remove the blood and gore in an attempt to preserve the company’s family-friendly image. While the Sega Genesis merely locked the game’s more violent content behind a cheat code that so many fans learned by heart, ABACABB. Nintendo’s decision to censor Mortal Kombat on their console pushed public opinion in favor of the Sega Genesis version being superior, though it was clear that corners were cut in order to squeeze it onto a cartridge. Recently a group of developers led by [Paulo] sought to restore the Genesis version to its full potential with a ROM hack they’re calling Mortal Kombat Arcade Edition. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ John_Romero_releases_new_DOOM_II_level_to raise_funds_to_support_Ukraine_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Want to support the people of Ukraine and get a little something in return perhaps? There’s a huge amount of developers throwing their support in and even John Romero has appeared with a new DOOM II level. Named “One Humanity”, it’s available for a donation of €5.00 and it’s to “support the people of Ukraine and the humanitarian efforts of the Red Cross and the UN Central Emergency Response Fund” with 100% of the proceeds going towards the support. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Popular_vehicle_building_sandbox ‘SimplePlanes’_updates_for_Steam_Deck_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Even more developers get their games ready to be played on the Steam Deck! SimplePlanes looks like a lot of fun and it’s quite a popular one too. Not quite as simple as the name suggests though, with tons of parts to snap together and plenty of physics fun going on. It’s also not just about aircraft, as you can build all sorts of things to mess around with. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Toy_train_set_sandbox_‘Tracks’_gets upgraded_for_Steam_Deck_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Love trains? Tracks looks like quite a sweet little game really and it has a new release out to help with Steam Deck compatibility. Tracks hasn’t yet been through any verification though, keep that in mind. # ⚓ Ubuntu Pit ☛ 10_Best_Games_for_Steam_Deck:_What’s_Your Favorite_One?⠀⇛ In the field of the gaming sector, Steam Deck is the hotcake of this month. This new gaming console is not like the previous console projects, and Valve brought it to an entirely new level of gaming. We all know that Steam is dominating the World gaming section for the last two decades. And now, Steam deck appears to bring all the steam games just within your two palms. The world’s best games are already available for Steam Deck. So, it is the best news for Linux users in 2022. The steam deck was launched on 25 February 2022, and our team already got our desired gaming console. We had a list of a considerable number of games to try and check their performance on Steam Deck. And now, we are here to share the best games for the Steam deck we got from the long research. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ KDE_Gear_21.12.3⠀⇛ Over 120 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and feature plugins are released simultaneously as part of KDE Gear. Today they all get new bugfix source releases with updated translations, including… # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ KDE_Gear_21.12.3_Released_as_the_Last_in the_Series_with_More_Fixes_for_Dolphin_and_Ark⠀⇛ KDE Gear 21.12.3 is here with a bunch of bug fixes for various KDE apps, such as the Dolphin file manager, which no longer crashes when canceling an archiving job initiated from one of the available “Compress” right- click context menu items. Moreover, Dolphin now opens files in the right app when browsing an FTP server instead of opening them in the web browser by default. The Ark archive manager received various updates in this release to allow extracting of zip archives with empty folders without causing those folders to have their “last accessed” dates set in the future, as well as to successfully create multivolume 7zip archives consisting of individual parts of under 1MB in size each. o § Distributions⠀➾ # § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ Contributing_to_SLE/openSUSE⠀⇛ The motivation of this post is to demonstrate how easy and logical is the workflow of an upstream change in a project to a given SUSE Linux codestream. I try to write this post in a codestream agnostic way. As I have experienced the workflow from the package maintainer point of view is the same for SUSE:SLE-15:Update and for openSUSE:Factory. # § IBM/Red Hat/Fedora⠀➾ # ⚓ 9_resources_to_help_you_contribute_to_open_source_in 2022_|_Opensource.com⠀⇛ In 2022, open source is becoming more and more of a household name. But for many years, open source was known as the scrappy underdog of the enterprise IT landscape. Open source has been around for decades in some form or fashion, but it wasn’t even until the late 1990s that it was formalized with its name. You may have been using open source technology this whole time but didn’t know it. In fact, the website you are currently reading is run on the open source content management system, Drupal. Your car, laptop, smartwatch, and video games are likely supported by Linux, an open source operating system. Red Hat’s annual State of Enterprise Open Source was recently released containing a whole lot of insights helpful for anyone growing a career in open source technology. For starters, 77% of IT leaders have a more positive perception of enterprise open source than they did a year ago and 82% of IT leaders are more likely to select a vendor who contributes to the open source community. This means that participating in open source is more important than ever before. Now is the time to advance your open source journey, no matter where you are. Here are a few resources to help you along the way. # ⚓ Enterprisers Project ☛ Enterprise_open_source:_4 priorities_for_CIOs⠀⇛ 2022 marks the fourth year Red Hat has sponsored its annual The State of Enterprise Open Source report. With almost 1300 worldwide IT leaders surveyed, this annual survey provides a window into trends and selectively explores new topics of interest. Let’s take a look at some stats from each category. One key trend is the growth of enterprise open source software at the expense of proprietary software. This year, respondents said they expect proprietary software to drop from 45 percent of their organizations’ software to 37 percent in two years, while enterprise open source grows 5 percent to 34 percent – almost overtaking it. (Community-based open source software is expected to chip away at the proprietary share of the mix as well, albeit at a slower rate.) # ⚓ Enterprisers Project ☛ IT_leadership:_3_new_rules_for hybrid_work⠀⇛ The pandemic will be the zeitgeist for the 21st century. It has shaped how we live, how our children are educated, and of course, how we work. It has also exposed what employees crave most. These wants and needs happen to be one of the driving factors for why employees leave their organizations, especially in today’s new hybrid workplace. A December 2020 SHRM article found that nearly 70 percent of remote workers say they work on the weekends, with 45 percent noting they work more hours weekly than they did prior to going remote. In the hybrid work environment, we are spending extraordinary amounts of time on the job. It can lead to feeling even more burned out and isolated than ever. Couple those feelings with our intrinsic need for connection, belonging, and relationships, and it’s easy to understand why employees leave organizations where they feel disconnected and unappreciated. The hybrid workforce demands a different organization-employee dynamic. Given how siloed we are, these desires for connection, belonging, and relationships are more important than ever. Employees want to feel valued, appreciated, and cared for by their managers and organizations. Today’s employees also want to trust their organizations and managers as well as feel trusted by them. # ⚓ Fedora_Community_Blog:_Community_Blog_monthly summary:_February_2022⠀⇛ This is the latest in our monthly series summarizing the past month on the Community Blog. # § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ OpenStack_is_dead?_The_numbers_speak_for themselves._|_Ubuntu⠀⇛ OpenStack is dead! A masked man in a black cloak with “public clouds”, “containers” and ”serverless” inscriptions shot OpenStack straight in the heart. OpenStack fell to the ground and with the last moment of strength exclaimed: “Long live open infrastructure”! That could be a headline of a tabloid, would you agree? OpenStack is dead. We’ve all heard about that. It’s gone. It’s abandoned. It’s been dominated by public clouds. The world does no longer need OpenStack. The word only needs containers, serverless or the next cutting-edge technology (whatever it’s going to be). The world doesn’t like OpenStack anymore. OpenStack is an obsolete technology. It is antiquated, passe and definitely no longer sexy. What is the problem then? Well, the problem is that none of these things is real. # ⚓ New Electronics ☛ Advantech_and_Canonical_collaborate on_Ubuntu_pre-loaded_embedded_solutions⠀⇛ By certifying Advantech products, Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu, guarantees up to 10 years of Linux security and update capabilities for users in the AI robotics, industrial manufacturing, and mission- critical application sectors. The two companies have collaborated on the provision of Ubuntu certifications for deployment-ready IoT devices, so that users can save time when configuring/installing the OS on the hardware. Canonical performs tests that confirm industrial-grade standards for the Ubuntu running on the system. These tests also ensure that individual hardware I/ O function normally. Once completed, Advantech will issue a comprehensive test report that reduces the hardware and OS validation procedure from ten days to one. Additionally, pre-installed services can save over 30 minutes in lead-time per device. In order to prevent security breaches and maintain system functionality, AIoT developers are required to keep their devices up to date with the latest software. To address this, Canonical and Advantech have certified Ubuntu Core, a transactional version of Ubuntu designed for IoT devices and embedded systems that provides secure boot, full disk encryption, secure device recovery, and over-the-air, transactional software updates through a cloud-based CI/CD (Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment) service that helps to lower upgrade risks and reduces the need for on- site repair. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ UCIe_(Universal_Chiplet_Interconnect Express)_open_standard_for_Chiplets_with_heterogeneous chips_–_CNX_Software⠀⇛ We first heard about Chiplet, chips that gather IP or chips from different vendors into a single chip, in 2020 with the now- defunct zGlue’s Open Chiplet Initiative, but the term recently came back to the forefront last month with Intel’s investment into the “Open Chiplet Platform” that aims to offer a modular approach to chip design through chiplets with each block/chiplet customized for a particular function. It turns out there’s now an official standard called the Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) whose specification defines the interconnect between chiplets within a package, and not only backed by Intel, but also AMD, Arm, ASE, Google Cloud, Meta, Microsoft, Qualcomm, Samsung, and TSMC. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Ultra-low_power_printed_flexible_E- paper_displays_work_with_Arduino_–_CNX_Software⠀⇛ Ynvisible Interactive will soon release upgrades to their printed flexible E-paper displays that consume 50% less energy per switch and can last 10 longer when switched on and off, with the company claiming to offer the lowest energy-consuming displays in the e-paper industry. Those displays are mostly used in specific industries such as digital signage, smart monitoring labels, authenticity & security, and retail. While we have very little information about the new upgrades, I’ve noticed the company is offering a development kit with several “ultra-low-power, thin and flexible Segment E-Paper Displays”, so let’s have a look. # § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Android Authority ☛ What_happened_to_the_Android_One program?_–_Android_Authority⠀⇛ # ⚓ Lenovo_Tab_M10_Plus_(3rd_Gen)_Android_tablet_is_great for_binge-watching_shows_&_studying_»_Gadget_Flow⠀⇛ # ⚓ Express ☛ Android_warning:_Popular_Play_Store_app_is trying_to_steal_your_money_|_Express.co.uk⠀⇛ # ⚓ 5_Android_Apps_You_Should_Avoid⠀⇛ # ⚓ Moto_G200_5G_review:_A_powerful_Android_phone_for under_£400_|_Radio_Times⠀⇛ # ⚓ The National AE ☛ MWC_2022:_Huawei_uncertain_about its_switch_back_to_Android_as_it_pursues_global expansion⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Is_Samsung_the_latest_Android_device maker_throttling_apps?_–_The_Verge⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_to_stop_Twitter_using_your_location_data_on Android_|_Trusted_Reviews⠀⇛ # ⚓ Great_Tips_for_Android_App_Development_Success_– Phandroid⠀⇛ o § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Concern_over_growing_reach_of_proprietary firmware_BLOBs_•_The_Register⠀⇛ Vendors of the FOSS hardware and software communities are voicing their concerns about closed-source firmware. Virtually impenetrable BLOBs (Binary Large Objects) in firmware mean it’s difficult to be sure exactly what the computer is doing. Assuming the BLOBs are unencrypted, and they usually are, you’ll have to break out a disassembler to figure out what the code does, which requires skills and knowledge, and is tedious – especially if the binary is obfuscated. Hardware vendors provide software, too. You can’t boot a computer without multiple pieces of code in various flash ROMs – to initialize the processor, the disk drives, and the chips that connect them. As computers get more complex, so does their firmware. More layers of code not only means more potential vulnerabilities, it means they can be hidden from the running OS. This requires blind trust, which is a strong motivator for keeping the source code of such code open. For the very privacy-conscious, there are x86 laptops such as Purism’s Librem machines which use the coreboot open-source firmware, which is also used in Chromebooks. It’s not only for consumer kit. So does the LinuxBoot firmware for servers, which is backed by Google and Facebook via the Open Compute Project. Despite some controversy, it’s working on version 2 of its spec. Both coreboot and LinuxBoot use Intel’s FSP (Firmware Support Package) to initialize the hardware. # ⚓ Its FOSS ☛ Rocket.Chat_and_Nextcloud_Team_up_to_Offer_a Powerful_Open-Source_Alternative_to_Office_365,_Slack,_and Others_–_It’s_FOSS_News⠀⇛ Rocket.Chat is one of the best open-source slack alternatives and Nextcloud is an all-in-one collaboration platform. And, they are pretty impressive. This is why we use Rocket.Chat for our internal communication and Nextcloud to manage tasks/documents. Both of them are incredibly useful for what they are capable of. And, now, it looks like Rocket.Chat and Nextcloud are taking things up a notch by developing a native API integration. # ⚓ Get_started_with_Carbonio,_an_open_source_collaboration platform⠀⇛ In recent years, interest in using open source collaboration platforms to enhance business productivity increased. Proprietary software has managed to overwhelm customers with a maze of licensing requirements and pay-to-play features that many companies don’t want to manage. On the other hand, open source offers alternatives that give companies the liberty of choice and allow new businesses to enter existing markets easier with more control over upfront costs. There are many choices in open source when selecting collaborative suites. My favorite is the AGPL-licensed Community Edition of Carbonio by Zextras (you may know Zextras from their complementary components for Zimbra Open Source). # § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Qt ☛ Squish_7.0_Available_Now⠀⇛ We are excited to release a new major version of the Squish GUI Tester, the software quality assurance tool chosen by thousands worldwide for cross-platform GUI application test automation. # § Perl/Raku⠀➾ # ⚓ Self-referring_labels_|_Playing_Perl_6␛b6xA Raku⠀⇛ Lizmat kindly allowed Label to expose its file and line-number. That is handy if we want to convey messages about the code itself, without having to worry about edits invalidating our line- numbers. The first use case that came to mind are lightweight singletons that are easy to find. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_Antonov_An-225_Seems_To_Have_Been_Destroyed After_All_|_Hackaday⠀⇛ Something that probably unites most Hackaday readers is a love of machines, particularly unique or interesting ones. In the world of aircraft for example, we’ve run several stories about those which push the edges of the size envelope, be they the Hughes Hercules troop carrier, the Scaled Composites Stratolifter space launcher, or the Antonov An-225 Mriya cargo plane. This last machine has been in the news for all the wrong reasons over the last few days, with reports emerging that it may have been destroyed in the fighting around its base at Hostomel near Kyiv. There has been some uncertainty around this news as it has alternately been claimed to have been destroyed or to have miraculously survived, but now a set of photographs have emerged showing what appears to be the An-225 burning in its damaged hangar. o § Integrity/Availability⠀➾ # § Proprietary⠀➾ # § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Tech Times ☛ Three_Billion_Google_Chrome_Users Warned_of_‘High’_Level_Attack:_28_Attacks_Across Windows,_Linux,_and_Mac⠀⇛ Google has just issued a warning towards its “circa three billion Chrome users” globally. The company confirmed brand new “high” level attacks directly on its browser. # ⚓ Red_Team_lab_automation⠀⇛ It’s not uncommon for red teamers to regularly tear down and rebuild their test labs, I know I do on a sometimes daily basis. It keeps things fresh and manageable, and now, using Infrastructure as Code (IaC), we can create a consistent environment to test tools and techniques in. If we break something it’s fine, just run the script again! In this post I’ll detail how, using Packer, Terraform, and Ansible, to go from an empty ESXi server to an up and running Windows domain in minimum time. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Remi_Collet:_Please_STOP_war!⠀⇛ War is NEVER the solution War destroys lives War destroys cities War destroys nature War destroys economy War will destroy our planet Please STOP WAR NOW!

For those of you who didn’t know, Suricata is a Network Security Monitoring tool that processes and controls network traffic. It is used also for generating alerts, logs, and detecting suspicious packets or requests on any service coming to your server. By default, Suricata works as a passive Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to scan for suspicious traffic on a server or network. It will generate and log alerts for further investigation. It can also be configured as an active Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) to log, alert, and completely block network traffic that matches specific rules. 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 the step-by-step installation of the Suricata network security monitoring 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. # ⚓ HowTo Forge ☛ How_to_Automate_Your_AWS_Resources_with CloudFormation_Templates⠀⇛ AWS CloudFormation is a service that enables system administrators to set up and manage an entire collection of AWS resources – including their configurations, dependencies, and inter- relationships between them – in a single statement. They can also make changes to existing infrastructure without stopping or redeploying the applications running on top of it. AWS Cloudformation allows you to configure your infrastructure as code. It is basically an infrastructure as a code engine that works in the cloud and helps users to provision and manage compute, storage, and other resources. A CloudFormation template is a JSON file with directives on how to create or update AWS resources. We can use AWS CLI, AWS SDKs like boto3, or AWS CloudFormation service to create templates. # ⚓ How_to_Install_Skype_on_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS_–_LinuxCapable [Ed: Really terrible advice that gives Microsoft_control_over GNU/Linux_machines (root access, remote)]⠀⇛ Skype is a proprietary telecommunications application software owned and developed by Microsoft. Skype is one of the most known and recognized software for video, audio, and text communication app available across multiple platforms. For the most part, free to download and use, Skype is an excellent tool for keeping in touch with friends or working remotely with colleagues. In the following tutorial, you will learn how to install Skype on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish using the command line terminal, and optional version builds of stable and unstable. # ⚓ H2S Media ☛ How_to_install_Zoom_client_on_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS Linux_–_Linux_Shout⠀⇛ Go through the commands to install Zoom Client on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy JellyFish for having a video conference and voice calls.

It passes traffic over UDP with better performance than the common two tunneling protocols i.e OpenVPN and IPsec. WireGuard is a peer-to-peer VPN made specifically for the Linux kernel. It runs inside the Linux kernel and allows you to create fast, modern, and secure VPN tunnel. WireGuard works by creating a network interface on each peer device that acts as a tunnel. Peers authenticate each other by exchanging and validating public keys, mimicking the SSH model. # ⚓ How_to_Upgrade_Mesa_Drivers_on_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS_– LinuxCapable⠀⇛ With the release of modern graphics cards, it’s easy to forget that before they were standard in most gaming laptops and consoles – there was Mesa. The open-source software implementation translates API specifications into vendor-specific drivers so you can use high-end applications with your PC even if it has older hardware! Most Linux distributions feature Mesa drivers, given they are free and open- source before any proprietary drivers options, however for most Linux distributions that focus on stability first, you may find your Mesa drivers needing an update when new releases support newer graphic card hardware and technologies. In the following tutorial, you will learn how to upgrade or install Mesa Drivers on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish with Obigaf PPA for the latest drivers to support Intel Radeon, NVIDIA, etc. # ⚓ How_to_Install_GCC_Compiler_(build-essential)_on Ubuntu 22.04_LTS_–_LinuxCapable⠀⇛ GCC, better known as The GNU Compiler Collection, is a set of compilers development tools. Front ends such as C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Ada, Go, and D. GCC is open-source and is widely used as it was the original compiler for GNU and is currently used to compile the Linux Kernel along with many other projects. In the following tutorial, you will learn how to install GCC Compiler on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS desktop or server using the default APT repository maintained by Ubuntu or the PPA toolchain for the latest bleeding-edge or alternative backport versions. # ⚓ How_to_Install_ImageMagick_on_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS_– LinuxCapable⠀⇛ ImageMagick is a free, open-source application installed as a binary distribution or source code. ImageMagick can convert, read, write and process raster images. ImageMagick is also available across all major platforms, including Android, BSD, Linux, Windows, Mac OSX, iOS, and many others.

It does. Note: personal purchase. The statement reads: “Before purchasing this software, please be advised that it cannot be played on Steam Deck as it does not support SteamOS.”. Clearly then they don’t understand how Linux, SteamOS, Proton or Steam Deck works. As usual, I’m here to clear things up — as it really works just fine. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Boxes_within_boxes,_puzzle_game_Patrick’s Parabox_releases_March_29_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Patrick’s Parabox, a very clever puzzle game is going to release on March 29. This might actually be one of my most anticipated releases this year. I tested out the demo in a previous Steam Festival and absolutely fell in love with the idea. “Patrick’s Parabox is an award-winning puzzle game that explores a unique recursive system of boxes within boxes within boxes within boxes. Learn to manipulate the world’s structure by pushing boxes into and out of each other. Wrap your head around what happens when a box contains itself, and learn to use infinity to your advantage. Explore many more mechanics and recursive twists as you delve deeper and deeper into the system. It’s boxes all the way down.” # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ GOG_suspends_all_sales_in_Russia_and Belarus_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ With the ongoing brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine, many more companies are taking action and now GOG has made a big announcement with their store. Here’s the statement they provided about the decision to suspend activities in Russia and Belarus… # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Heroic_Games_Launcher_now_works_nicely_on Steam_Deck_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Something that I’ve been asked, repeatedly (and then some), is to show the Heroic Games Launcher on the Steam Deck. So here we are, let’s take a look. See also: installing Discord and the Epic Store directly. This had to wait, as there we some issues in both Heroic and an extra tool we needed called the Heroic Bash Launcher. I’ve been constantly speaking to the developer about it along with the issues, and now the fixes are live for everyone. Using the Epic Store with Rocket League for the guide, since it’s free to play. While Heroic supports GOG, currently you can’t add the games from GOG to Steam just yet with the AppImage. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Season_of_KDE_2022_With_KDE_Eco⠀⇛ As part of a pioneering sustainability project, KDE Eco has the aim of measuring and driving down the energy consumption of KDE/ Free Software. This requires emulating user behaviour, which can be achieved by planning and scripting Standard Usage Scenarios. I will be scripting Standard Usage Scenarios for various applications, with a focus on commonly-used text editors like Kate, KWrite, Vim, Nano, Emacs, Calligra Words, and LibreOffice. I will prepare these usage scenarios with one of many available emulation tools. [...] Just imagine: What if we analyzed the energy consumption behind commonly-used software and made it more transparent? What if users could learn how much energy their software requires and could choose the application that might be better for the environment? This would be great!!! The KDE Eco initiatives Free and open source Energy Efficiency Project (FEEP) and Blauer Engel For FOSS (BE4FOSS) are working hard on these issues. As noted by FEEP, the design and implementation of software has a significant impact on the energy consumption of the systems it is part of. With the right tools, it is possible to quantify and drive down energy consumption. This increased efficiency contributes to a more sustainable use of energy as one of the shared resources of our planet. # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ Jean-François_Fortin_Tam:_Getting_Things_GNOME_0.6 released⠀⇛ Yes, ladies, gentlemen, and seemingly-dead plants, it’s happening: after over 10 months of incremental work from the community, we are now releasing version 0.6 of our favorite personal productivity app. This release comes with some new features, lots of code improvements, and many bugfixes. # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Getting_Things_GNOME_0.6_Personal Productivity_App_Released_with_New_CalDAV_Sync Backend⠀⇛ Coming about 11 months after Getting Things GNOME 0.5, the Getting Things GNOME 0.6 release is here to introduce a new synchronization backend that supports CalDAV server synchronization across your multiple computers, a new plugin to add game-like elements to the app, as well as a revamped tag editor. There are also the usual improvements to make Getting Things GNOME more stable and reliable when adding parent or child tasks, when marking recurrent tasks as done, as well as when deleting multiple tasks at once, especially when you have a huge list of opened tasks. o § Distributions⠀➾ # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ EasyOS_3.4.1.1_test_build_for_recent_AMD GPUs⠀⇛ I have done another build, with 5.15.16 kernel, with some extra configure options enabled for recent AMD APUs and GPUs. Also with extra firmware under /lib/firmware/amdgpu — thanks to forum member hundido. The kernel has the ‘radeon’ driver disabled, so won’t work with older ATI/AMD GPUs. It only has the ‘amdgpu’ driver. This has been done for testing, so that the radeon driver won’t load and interfere. # § IBM/Red Hat/Fedora⠀➾ # ⚓ Egeria_Dojos_and_the_IBM_Developer_community_–_IBM Developer [Ed: IBM cannot stop outsourcing everything to Microsoft and to its proprietary software attack on Free software/Open Source]⠀⇛ I am an Egeria maintainer at IBM. If you would like to look up what code I have written, my GitHub ID is davidradl. Many thanks to Nigel Jones for reviewing this content. Nigel is also an Egeria maintainer at IBM. # ⚓ How_to_provision_a_RHEL_VM_from_Red_Hat_Satellite⠀⇛ In this multi-part tutorial, we covered how to provision RHEL VMs to a vSphere environment from Red Hat Satellite. Now that we have completed all of our prep work, in this final part, we can provision VMs to our VMware cluster using the specification we defined in the compute profile. As part of the provisioning process, Satellite will request an available IP address from our DHCP server, update the forward and reverse DNS zone records, provision the VM on our VMware cluster, and register the new RHEL VM to our Satellite server and Red Hat Insights # ⚓ CPE_Quarterly_Update_Q4_2021_–_Blog.CentOS.org⠀⇛ This is a summary of the work done on initiatives by the CPE Team. Each quarter CPE Team together with CentOS and Fedora community representatives choose initiatives that will be being worked on in this quarter. The CPE Team is then split into multiple smaller sub-teams that will work on chosen initiatives + day to day work that needs to be done. # § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Linux_on_an_SBC_project_Armbian releases_version_22.02⠀⇛ The latest update to Armbian brings a mainline-kernel based Ubuntu- and Debian- compatible environment to dozens of small single-board computers. This includes both Arm and x86-based hardware UEFI booting – and 64-bit builds for Raspberry Pi hardware. Armbian supports over 60 different single- board computers, including various models of Banana Pi, nVidia Jetson, Pine64 and dozens more. The problem it addresses is similar to what postmarketOS is trying to do with smartphones. Your snazzy little SBC is shipped bundled with a Linux of some kind, customised for the hardware – but like a budget smartphone, all too often you will only get one update ever (if you’re lucky), and then that’s it. Soon the vendor has a new device to sell, and that device gets newer software versions, not last year’s model. Armbian isn’t exactly a Linux distro, but you could confuse it for one if you squint a bit. Armbian is a framework that lets you build enough of a Linux system – a kernel, plus tools to get that kernel into memory, and if necessary the core of a root filesystem – to put the rest of Debian or Ubuntu on top. # § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Mint ☛ Monthly_News_–_February_2022_–_The_Linux Mint_Blog⠀⇛ I’m sorry for the late blog post. I’ll be brief and to the point. Before I talk about Linux Mint, I hope everyone is safe and OK. The roadmap for Linux Mint 21 is taking form. It’s currently available at https:// tree.taiga.io/project/linuxmint-linux-mint- 21-1/kanban. The BETA release for LMDE 5 is out. We already received 22 bug reports. Many thanks to all the people who are helping us test it. In preparation for Linux Mint 21 we are updating Cinnamon’s Javascript interpreter and rebasing its window manager on a more modern version of Mutter. This is a huge task and it requires many code changes in Cinnamon itself and causes a significant number of regressions. We needed a full development cycle for this so the timing is perfect. Linux Mint 21 is likely to switch from Blueberry (which uses the gnome- bluetooth backend) to Blueman (which uses bluez). Feedback showed that it worked better with Bluetooth audio headsets and connected to a wider ranger of devices. On the development side of things, the latest version of gnome-bluetooth introduced changes which broke compatibility with Blueberry and its main developer isn’t keen on seeing his work used outside of GNOME. Blueman on the other hand welcomed a Mint migration and is open to changes. We’re currently testing Blueman and working on its integration within Linux Mint. # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Linux_Mint_21_to_Adopt_Blueman_for_Better Bluetooth_Support,_Use_a_More_Modern_Mutter⠀⇛ Linux Mint 21 will finally end the Linux Mint 20 series, which is based on the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) operating system series, featuring a newer base from the upcoming Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellifish) long-term supported operating system series. Of course, Linux Mint 20 will still be supported until April 2025 with software and security updates, but the Linux Mint team is now focusing on the next major series, Linux Mint 21, which will ship not only with newer core components (e.g. Linux kernel, Mesa graphics stack, GCC, GNU C Library) but also with a newer version of the in-house developed Cinnamon desktop environment. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Banana_Pi_previews_RK3588_module_and_dev kit⠀⇛ Banana Pi previewed a “Core” module with an octa- core -A76 and -A55 Rockchip RK3588 with up to 8GB LPDDR4 and 128GB eMMC. A carrier board adds 2x GbE, 2x SATA, 3x HDMI, 4x USB, and PCIe Gen3 x4. Banana Pi has teased an upcoming compute module and carrier board based on Rockchip’s RK3588, which will also be appearing in Q2 2022 on Radxa’s Rock 5 Model B. The products are offered by the Banana Pi unit that will soon ship the RK3568-based, quad-GbE BPI-R2 Pro router board. The unnamed Core module and carrier have begun sampling, and the BSP for Linux and Android 12 is still under development. # ⚓ Linux_Action_News_230⠀⇛ Why it might be time to lower your RISC- V expectations, Intel’s moves to close up CPU firmware, and a quick state of the Deck. # ⚓ 1U_Raspberry_Pi_Rack_Mount_Bracket_–_CubicleNate’s Techpad⠀⇛ In an effort to improve the organization of my home computer “core” I have made the search for a solution to mount my Raspberry Pi and potentially future Pis on my 2-post server rack. The solutions I found were outside of my budget for a small change so I found a solution on Thingaverse.com by Russ Ross. [...] This was perfect so I employed my 3D Printer to print off all the parts. The total cost for the PLA and the hardware is about $20.00 This will take about 554 grams of PLA at $20 per kilogram will cost $11.04. The Hardware, which includes a 36 inch threaded rod, 4 nuts and 4 washers to fasten the components together, and 24 screws for retaining the Pis was about $9.00. # ⚓ Geeky Gadgets ☛ AAEON_Up_Squared_6000_Edge_mini_PC_$599_– Geeky_Gadgets⠀⇛ AAEON has launched a new Edge mini PC computer kit in the form of the Up Squared 6000. Specifically designed to provide a small form factor industrial solution to simplify the development process for independent software vendors (ISVs), and IoT developers. The new mini PC is based on the Intel Atom x6000E range of processors formerly known as Elkhart Lake. [...] The software package features the Intel Edge Insights for Vision, which includes Ubuntu desktop LTS… # § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Arduino ☛ This_special_chessboard_brings_digital opponents_into_the_physical_world_|_Arduino_Blog⠀⇛ Chess still remains an extremely popular game but finding someone to play against can be a struggle, especially when it’s done in-person instead of through a screen. Greg06 on Instructables has created an automated chessboard that can not only tell where specific pieces are moved, but also play against a live human opponent intelligently while moving its own pieces. At the base of the gameboard is a two-axis gantry system, which is responsible for moving the chess pieces positioned above via an electromagnet. And rather than placing one stepper motor on each axis, the gantry takes advantage of the CoreXY concept which can move the magnet in all directions with a complex arrangement of pulleys, belts, and two stationary stepper motors. Controlling this is a single Arduino Nano connected to a pair of A4988 drivers, a MOSFET for driving the magnet, and two limit switches for homing. # § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ 5_Android_Apps_You_Should_Avoid⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ Android_Police’s_Best_of_MWC_2022⠀⇛ # ⚓ India Times ☛ google:_Google_testing_new_dark_theme for_Android_smartphones_–_Times_of_India⠀⇛ # ⚓ Notebook Check ☛ The_Poco_X3_Pro_receives_Android_12 and_stable_MIUI_13_update_globally_–_NotebookCheck.net News⠀⇛ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Your_Samsung_Phone_Might_Be_Throttling Your_Android_Apps⠀⇛ # ⚓ FOSS Post ☛ F-Droid_is_a_Google_Play_Alternative_for Open_Source_Apps⠀⇛ It is true that many open source apps are available in the Google’s Play Store, but most of them don’t like to be there. After all, Google Play is a proprietary software and fully controlled by the biggest advertisement company on the planet. That’s why open source app developers have been looking for a better place to publish them. This is where F-Driod comes to play. It is an open source Google Play alternative that only hosts open source apps in its app catalog. In other words, if your app is not open source, then it can not be listed for download on the F-Droid store. o § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ LibreOffice_7.3.1_Community_available for_download⠀⇛ LibreOffice 7.3.1 Community, the first minor release of the LibreOffice 7.3 family, targeted at technology enthusiasts and power users, is available for download from https:// www.libreoffice.org/download/. This version provides a solution to several LibreOffice 7.3 bugs, including the Auto Calculate regression on Calc, the crashes running Calc when lacking AVX instructions and the crashes related to the Skia graphic engine on macOS. # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ LibreOffice_7.3_Office_Suite_Gets_First_Point Release,_Almost_100_Bugs_Were_Fixed⠀⇛ LibreOffice 7.3.1 is here exactly one month after LibreOffice 7.3 to fix a bunch of bugs and issues that would prevent you from successfully using the popular office suite software for any of your home office needs. A total of 98 issues were addressed in this first point release to provide solutions to several LibreOffice 7.3 bugs, including the Auto Calculate regression on the Calc component, along with crashes when running Calc without AVX instructions. # § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 8_Top_Free_and_Open_Source_Haskell_Web Frameworks_–_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ One of the types of software that’s important for a web developer is the web framework. A framework “is a code library that makes a developer’s life easier when building reliable, scalable, and maintainable web applications” by providing reusable code or extensions for common operations. By saving development time, developers can concentrate on application logic rather than mundane elements. A web framework offers the developer a choice about how to solve a specific problem. By using a framework, a developer lets the framework control portions of their application. While it’s perfectly possible to code a web application without using a framework, it’s more practical to use one. Haskell is a standardized, general- purpose, polymorphically statically typed, lazy, purely functional language, very different from many programming languages. It enables developers to produce software that’s clear, concise, and correct. When it comes to web development, there are a fairly wide range of Haskell frameworks available. The choice depends on finding the right tool for the job at hand. Here’s our pick of the finest Haskell web frameworks. # ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Using_APIs_with_Low-Code_Tools:_9 Best_Practices [Ed: “ServiceNow and Torq are sponsors of The New Stack.” So this is, in effect, a paid-for commercial again. The New Stack is a part time webspam site disguised as “news”.]⠀⇛ There’s no doubt that these tools and platforms are helping to speed up software creation and delivery. But how do you make sure the tools your organization chooses integrate well with the APIs you need to be productive — from Slack to Salesforce — and serve your users and customers? As with any other type of software that serves cloud native architecture, the low- and no-code market is crowded with products, and not all of them will survive the competition. Or, the most popular low-code startups get acquired by tech giants. Either way, vendor lock-in can leave your organization stranded. “The problem quite often in the past has been, low-code tools get to a certain level, and they just disappear,” said Mark Boyd, founder and director of the consulting firm Platformable. There’s another possible pain point with low-code/no-code tools and APIs, said Boyd, who researches best practices for API technologies. “When you dig down and try to do something a little bit outside the box, that’s not as simple as you just pull this data from here into here,” he told The New Stack. Some of the tools get complicated when you try to customize them. Before you know it, he said, you’re rolling up your sleeves and coding anyway: “It can be a turn-off.” # ⚓ Qt_5.15.3_Opensource_released⠀⇛ we have released Qt 5.15.3 opensource today… # ⚓ Qt ☛ QML_Type_Compilation:_that_new_Qt_Quick_Compiler part_you_have_not_heard_much_about⠀⇛ We have been recently talking about the QML to C++ compilation, but this was mostly describing the process of compiling your JavaScript code. Along with it, however, there is another compiler coming in Qt 6.3 – the QML type compiler (or qmltc for short), available as a tool in the qtdeclarative repository. This compiler is part of the Qt Quick Compiler technology and, complementing QML script compiler (qmlsc), it aims to look at the QML language from a different angle. In this blog post you should learn about this part of QML and the process of compiling your QML types to C++, no components left aside. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Ion_Thrusters:_Not_Just_For_TIE_Fighters_Anymore |_Hackaday⠀⇛ Spacecraft rocket engines come in a variety of forms and use a variety of fuels, but most rely on chemical reactions to blast propellants out of a nozzle, with the reaction force driving the spacecraft in the opposite direction. These rockets offer high thrust, but they are relatively fuel inefficient and thus, if you want a large change in velocity, you need to carry a lot of heavy fuel. Getting that fuel into orbit is costly, too! Ion thrusters, in their various forms, offer an alternative solution – miniscule thrust, but high fuel efficiency. This tiny push won’t get you off the ground on Earth. However, when applied over a great deal of time in the vacuum of space, it can lead to a huge change in velocity, or delta V. This manner of operation means that an ion thruster and a small mass of fuel can theoretically create a much larger delta-V than chemical rockets, perfect for long-range space missions to Mars and other applications, too. Let’s take a look at how ion thrusters work, and some of their interesting applications in the world of spacecraft! o § Integrity/Availability⠀➾ # § Proprietary⠀➾ # § Pseudo-Open Source⠀➾ # § Openwashing⠀➾ # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Open_Source_Security Foundation_Now_Counts_60_Members [Ed: Openwashing by_proprietary_software companies]⠀⇛ The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) on Tuesday announced that 19 more organizations have joined the initiative, showing commitment towards identifying and addressing vulnerabilities in open source software. OpenSSF now has a total of 60 members. Hosted by the Linux Foundation, OpenSSF is a cross-industry forum meant to bring together open source security initiatives and help not only address the security of open source, but also develop best practices, research, tooling, training, and vulnerability disclosure practices. # ⚓ The_Apache_Software_Foundation_Welcomes VMware_as_its_Newest_Platinum_Sponsor [Ed: This company is attacking Free software [1, 2], ASF should not welcome the attacker]⠀⇛ The Apache® Software Foundation (ASF) today welcomed VMware® as its latest sponsor at the Platinum level. “We are happy to welcome VMware as a Platinum Sponsor,” said Bob Paulin, ASF Vice President Fundraising. “Sponsoring the ASF provides essential funds and services that enable us to support more than 300 Apache Projects and their communities on a day-to-day basis. We are grateful for VMware’s generosity as it helps us further our mission of providing software for the public good.” # § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Enrico_Zini:_Migrating_from_procmail_to_sieve⠀⇛ Anarcat’s “procmail considered harmful” post convinced me to get my act together and finally migrate my venerable procmail based setup to sieve. My setup was nontrivial, so I migrated with an intermediate step in which sieve scripts would by default pipe everything to procmail, which allowed me to slowly move rules from procmailrc to sieve until nothing remained in procmailrc. Here’s what I did. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Details_of_an_NSA_Hacking Operation [Ed: Cracking, Bruce Schneier, not "Hacking"...]⠀⇛ Pangu Lab in China just published a report of a hacking operation by the Equation Group (aka the NSA). It noticed the hack in 2013, and was able to map it with Equation Group tools published by the Shadow Brokers (aka some Russian group). # ⚓ Vice ☛ Chinese_Cybersecurity_Company_Doxes Apparent_NSA_Hacking_Operation⠀⇛ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Thursday_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by CentOS (cyrus-sasl), Fedora (kicad), Mageia (php), openSUSE (envoy-proxy, ldns, libdxfrw, librecad, php7, and shapelib), Red Hat (cyrus-sasl), SUSE (firefox, gnutls, ldns, and php7), and Ubuntu (haproxy and php7.2, php7.4). # ⚓ Cisco_Releases_Security_Updates_for_Multiple Products_|_CISA⠀⇛ Cisco has released security updates to address vulnerabilities in multiple products.

We believe the charges arise from peaceful exercise of his human rights, including his criticism of the dire human rights situation in the country and a looming piece of legislation that will further shrink people’s rights if ratified. Ronaghi was held in detention in circumstances that violated his due process rights, from 23 February until he was released on bail late on 2 March. He was held in detention in Evin Prison for eight days without any official charges brought against him. According to his lawyer, a hearing before the office of the prosecutor on 28 February revealed he had been charged with ‘propaganda against the state’ and ‘gathering and collusion with the intention of disturbing national security’. Ronaghi was previously imprisoned for six years in relation to his peaceful exercise of his human rights. During his imprisonment, his health deteriorated severely as a result of torture and ill-treatment and the multiple hunger strikes he went on to protest his conditions. Following his recent arrest, Ronaghi was denied access to his lawyers and denied visits from family members. It was several days before security agents gave his family any information about his disappearance. The authorities also prohibited his lawyers from accessing case files throughout much of his detention, thereby violating his due process rights. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Senate_Commerce_Votes_To_Approve_Sohn,_Bedoya_To_Guide Broadband_Policy_for_Consumers_–_Public_Knowledge⠀⇛ Today, the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation voted to approve Gigi Sohn as a Commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission and Alvaro Bedoya as a Commissioner for the Federal Trade Commission. Both Ms. Sohn and Mr. Bedoya have worked steadfastly to champion consumer protections and have a deep understanding of the important role that these agencies have in ensuring those protections reflect the needs of consumers. Public Knowledge urges the Senate to confirm President Joe Biden’s nominees to help protect consumers in the digital era. The following can be attributed to Chris Lewis, President and CEO at Public Knowledge: “These committee votes are extremely important for getting stalled parts of the technology policy agenda moving with a sense of urgency. The FCC plays a critical role in ensuring consumers have access to robust, affordable broadband and the FTC works to ensure that once consumers are online, their privacy is protected and there is a functioning market that provides choice. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2993 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 03.03.22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Links_3/3/2022:_New_ASF_Board_of_Directors_and_Microsoft_Antitrust_Abuses⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 6:52 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Distributions o Devices/Embedded * Free_Software/Open_Source * Leftovers * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ Video ☛ Geany_Text_Editor_For_Windows,_Mac_&_Linux_– Invidious⠀⇛ Geany is a powerful, yet lightweight, text editor and IDE that has tons of useful features built-in and has a bunch of third-party plugins too.

It allows the contents of /etc to be stored in a Version Control System (VCS) repository such as git. Thus allowing you to use git to review or revert changes that were made to /etc, in case of a mistake. In Linux/ Unix, the /etc directory is where host-specific system-wide configuration files and directories are located; it is a central location for all system- wide configuration files. A configuration file is a local file used to control how a program works – it must be static and cannot be an executable binary. To keep track of changes to system configuration files, system administrators normally make copies (or backups) of configuration files before modifying them. That way if they directly modified the original file and made a mistake, they can revert to the saved copy. In this guide, we will learn how to Install and configure etckeeper in Opensuse Leap 15. # ⚓ H2S Media ☛ Install_NotePad++_on_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS_Linux using_SNAP_–_Linux_Shout⠀⇛ Learn the simple steps to install NotePad++ on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy JellyFish Linux using the command terminal for writing programs. Free Notepad++ is based on the Windows Notepad Editor but functionally for writing programs. Therefore, we cannot install Notepad++ on the Linux system simply using its package manager such as APT. In such a situation, we have to take the help of Wine – a free and open-source compatibility layer to run Windows applications. On one hand, notepad.exe on Windows is suitable for making short notes, the Notepad++ program goes beyond. Any person who writes code would already know about this app. It offers functions such as syntax highlighting, which highlights certain entered code blocks in color. This improves the overview. In addition to TXT, there are entries for Batch, C++, C#, JavaScript, PHP, PostScript, Windows PowerShell, Python, R, the Windows Registry (*.reg), Ruby, Swift, and Visual Basic. Users just need knowledge of the programming languages, Notepad++ makes things easier, but does not take away your know-how here. # ⚓ OSNote ☛ How_to_Use_RSYNC_to_Backup_Data_on_Ubuntu_– OSNote⠀⇛ Loss of valuable data and not being able to recover it is the most painful incident that can happen to any of us. To take precautions against this problem, a backup copy of the data needs to be created. A data backup is a copy of valuable data kept on your devices, such as computers, phones, or tablets, that is used to recover the valuable data that has been lost. Data loss is caused in a variety of ways, including failure of hard drives, ransomware, and even human error. Whatever the disaster, a backup of data could provide the relief you need to restore the data on your devices. It’s usually kept in a safe, different location from the original device, such as the cloud. One of the approaches we use in Linux to back up our data is using “rsync”. In this article on Ubuntu 20.04, we use the rsync approach to back up data. # ⚓ Neat_uses_for_a_backlit_keyboard⠀⇛ I bought myself a new keyboard last November, a Logitech G213. True keyboard fans will tell me it’s not a real mechanical keyboard, but it was a lot cheaper and met my requirements of having some backlighting and a few media keys (really all I use are the volume control keys). Oh, and being a proper UK layout. While the G213 isn’t fully independent RGB per key it does have a set of zones that can be controlled. Also this has been reverse engineered, so there are tools to do this under Linux. All I really wanted was some basic backlighting to make things a bit nicer in the evenings, but with the ability to control colour I felt I should put it to good use. # ⚓ Scan_for_SSH_private_keys_without_passphrase_|_Ganneff’s Little_Blog⠀⇛ So for policy reasons, customer wanted to ensure that every SSH private key in use by a human on their systems has a passphrase set. And asked us to make sure this is the case. There is no way in SSH to check this during connection, so client side needs to be looked at. Which means looking at actual files on the system. Turns out there are multiple formats for the private keys – and I really do not want to implement something able to deal with that on my own. # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ How_to_install_Piskel_on_a_Chromebook⠀⇛ Today we are looking at how to install Piskel on a Chromebook. Please follow the video/audio guide as a tutorial where we explain the process step by step and use the commands below. # ⚓ Citizix ☛ How_to_Install_and_Configure_Puppet_7_Server_on Ubuntu_20.04⠀⇛ In this guide, we are going to install Puppet 7 Server Open Source in Ubuntu 20.04. We will set up a Puppet server and an agent and install Nginx using puppet manifests. Puppet is a software configuration management tool which includes its own declarative language to describe system configuration. It is a model-driven solution that requires limited programming knowledge to use. Puppet operates in an agent-master architecture, in which a master node controls configuration information for a fleet of managed agent nodes. Puppet is distributed in several packages. These include puppetserver, puppet-agent and puppetdb. Puppet Server controls the configuration information for one or more managed agent nodes. PuppetDB is where the data generated by Puppet is stored. # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ How_to_Set_the_Time_Zone_Using_the_Linux Terminal⠀⇛ If you’ve moved or are traveling with your Linux laptop, you may be wondering how to change your system’s time zone. It’s easy to set your Linux computer’s time zone from the command line. Here’s how to do it. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Steam_Deck_changelogs_now_available,_new update_out_now_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Valve has now put live some public changelogs and will be properly announcing when updates go out for the Steam Deck. You can follow along on their news hub, but we’ll cover them all as usual. o § Distributions⠀➾ # § Screenshots/Screencasts⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ Freespire_8.2⠀⇛ Today we are looking at Freespire 8.2. It is based on Ubuntu 20.04, Linux Kernel 5.13, KDE Plasma 5.18, and uses about 500MB of ram when idling. Enjoy! # ⚓ Video ☛ Freespire_8.2_Run_Through_–_Invidious⠀⇛ In this video, we are looking at Freespire 8.2. # § IBM/Red Hat/Fedora⠀➾ # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Red_Hat_details_edge_computing collaboration_with_Verizon⠀⇛ IBM Corp.’s Red Hat division today shared new details about its collaboration with Verizon Communications Inc. to help enterprises adopt edge computing technologies. Last year, Verizon teamed up with IBM on a broad initiative to modernize its network. As part of the effort, Verizon is building key components of its 5G infrastructure using Red Hat software. Edge computing is one of the areas that the companies’ partnership prioritizes. Verizon offers an edge computing service called Verizon 5G Edge that enables enterprises to run their applications on infrastructure attached to the carrier’s 5G network. This infrastructure is powered by Amazon Web Services Inc.’s AWS Wavelength platform. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Helps_Türk_Telekom Digitally_Transform_Across_its_Business_to_the_Edge⠀⇛ Red Hat, Inc., the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that Türk Telekom, Turkey’s first and leading integrated telecommunications operator, has deployed Red Hat OpenShift, the industry’s leading Kubernetes platform, for use across its business to develop and scale cloud- native applications from core to edge for faster innovation. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Extends_Partner_Training Offerings_to_Strengthen_Open_Hybrid_Cloud_Expertise [Ed: Red Hat is promoting nonsense like "clown computing" instead of real computing skills (building systems, not outsourcing)]⠀⇛ Red Hat, Inc., the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, today announced that Red Hat Training and Certification is expanding its offerings for partners in order to advance their skills journey with open hybrid cloud technologies. Red Hat partners can now access Red Hat Training self-paced online courses at no cost in order to develop critical skills around Red Hat solutions in key areas such as cloud computing, containers, virtualization, # ⚓ Edge_Automation_with_NetGitOps_on_Red_Hat_Ansible Automation_Platform_2 [Ed: Red Hat is foolishly, as usual, pushing Microsoft proprietary software, GitHub, even though perfectly fine alternatives which are Free software predate that]⠀⇛ # § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ 8_Reasons_Why_Ubuntu_Is_the_Ideal Distro_for_Linux_Newcomers⠀⇛ Ubuntu often gets recommended as the first distro to beginner Linux users. What makes it different than any other distro? Let’s find out. The Linux kernel has spawned an entire family of operating systems known as Linux distributions. There are close to a thousand (or maybe more) distributions that you can install on your computer for free. But when it comes to ease of use and beginner- friendliness, Ubuntu is the name that pops up the most. Why is this so? And why do people recommend Ubuntu as the first distro to Linux beginners? Let’s find out. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Renesas_unveils_Linux-driven_RISC-V_SoC based_on_an_Andes_AX45MP_core⠀⇛ Renesas announced a headless, 1GHz “RZ/Five” IoT SoC that runs Linux on Andes’ AX45MP RISC-V core with support for up to 4GB DDR4-1600, 1x or 2x GbE ports, 2x CAN, and 2x USB. A SMARC module is in the works. Renesas has begun sampling the first commercial system-on-chip based on Andes Technology’s 64-bit RISC-V cores. The headless, single-core RZ/Five runs Linux on Andes’ up to 1GHz AndesCore AX45MP core, which was updated for greater performance last December. The SoC is aimed at entry-class social infrastructure gateway control and industrial gateway control. # § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux On Mobile ☛ LINMOB.net_–_Easily_upgrading_the PinePhone_(Pro)_Modem_Firmware⠀⇛ If you are a PinePhone owner and have not been living under a rock, you will know that there’s an exploitable vulnerability for the PinePhone Pro’s Quectel EG-25G firmware that’s been supplied with your PINE64 phone. Also, let’s briefly say that aside from not being good at fixing vulnerabilities in a timely manner, Quectel and their modem firmware by default are not really perfect. The Fix (part 1): The Community Firmware by Biktorgj Fortunately, there’s a road to getting that problem fixed without waiting for Quectel to deliver something. PINE64 Community Member Biktorgj has been working hard on a community firmware – I’ve written about this, and wrote an explainer on how to install that firmware in May of 2021. Installing got simpler since (just run one script), but not quite simple enough for many. o § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Google_blocks_FOSS_Android_tool_–_for asking_for_donations_•_The_Register⠀⇛ StreetComplete, a free Android program designed to help people to contribute to OpenStreetMap, was blocked from Google’s Play Store merely for urging users to donate money to the app’s development. According to StreetComplete developer Tobias Zwick, the software store’s semi-automated approval system rejected StreetComplete for suggesting people donate money to the code’s maintenance and improvement. Why? Because Play Store apps mustn’t accept other payment methods. # ⚓ Apache Blog ☛ Announcing_New_ASF_Board_of_Directors⠀⇛ At The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) Annual Members’ Meeting held this week, the following individuals were elected to the ASF Board of Directors: Rich Bowen (former Director) Bertrand Delacretaz (current Director) Christofer Dutz (new Director) Roy T. Fielding (current Director) Sharan Foga (current Director) Willem Jiang (new Director) Sam Ruby (current Director) Roman Shaposhnik (current Director) Sander Striker (current Director) # § Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Spaceship_Repair_CTF_Covers_Hardware Hacker_Essentials_|_Hackaday⠀⇛ At even vaguely infosec-related conferences, CTFs are a staple. For KernelCon 2021, [Tyler Rosonke] resolved to create a challenge breaking the traditions, entertaining and teaching people in a different way, while satisfying the constraints of that year’s remote participation plans. His imagination went wild in all the right places, and a beautifully executed multi-step hardware challenge was built – only in two copies! # § Web Browsers⠀➾ # § Chromium⠀➾ # ⚓ Google ☛ Chrome_100_Beta:_Reduced_User-Agent Strings,_Multi-Screen_Window_Placement,_and More⠀⇛ Unless otherwise noted, changes described below apply to the newest Chrome beta channel release for Android, Chrome OS, Linux, macOS, and Windows.

You can download the latest on Google.com for desktop or on Google Play Store on Android. # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ The_website_security_ecosystem protects_individuals_against_fraud_and_state- sponsored_surveillance._Let’s_not_break_it.⠀⇛ Principle four of the Mozilla Manifesto states that “Individuals’ security and privacy on the internet are fundamental and must not be treated as optional.” We’ve made real progress on improving security on the Internet, but unfortunately, a draft law under discussion in the EU – the eIDAS Regulation – threatens to reverse that progress. Mozilla and many others have been raising the alarm in the last few months. Today, leading cybersecurity experts are weighing in too, in an open letter to EU lawmakers that warns of the risks that eIDAS represents to web security. Website certificates sit at the heart of web security. When you make a connection to a web site, say “mozilla.org”, that connection is protected with TLS, but TLS only protects the connection itself; each server has a certificate which ensures that the server on the other end is “mozilla.org” and not an attacker impersonating Mozilla. Certificates are issued by Certificate Authorities (CAs), who are responsible for verifying that a given entity controls the site in question. # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Announcing_Interop_2022_–_Mozilla Hacks_–_the_Web_developer_blog⠀⇛ A key benefit of the web platform is that it’s defined by standards, rather than by the code of a single implementation. This creates a shared platform that isn’t tied to specific hardware, a company, or a business model. Writing high quality standards is a necessary first step to an interoperable web platform, but ensuring that browsers are consistent in their behavior requires an ongoing process. Browsers must work to ensure that they have a shared understanding of web standards, and that their implementation matches that understanding. # § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ PostgreSQL:_Announcing_this_year’s edition_of_the_Swiss_PGDay⠀⇛ We are happy to announce this year’s edition of the Swiss PGDay to take place Friday, July 1 at the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, Campus Rapperswil, close to Zurich, Switzerland.

The conference will take place on May 19th, 2022. # § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ MakeTech Easier ☛ How_to_Use_the_G++_Compiler_on Linux⠀⇛ The compilation process is a big part of any C++ coding project. You need a compiler that is effective and simple, while also offering a variety of functionality. This is where the g++ compiler comes in. It offers a variety of functions for your compilation needs, straight from the command line. Here we show you how to get started with this great tool. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Compressed_Air_Jumping_Shoes_Are_Not_For_The Faint-Hearted_|_Hackaday⠀⇛ [Ian Charnas] has taken a short break from building things that might injure himself, by building something that could injure somebody else instead. (Video, embedded below) Well, hopefully not anyway. After working with YouTuber [Tyler Csatari] on a few ideas, [Tyler] was insistent on getting some power-assisted jumping shoes, so [Ian] set to work mounting some compressed-air powered pistons to a pair of walking shoes. With a large backpack housing the 200 PSI air cylinder, control valves and timers. The whole affair looks solidly constructed, if a little ungainly, but does seem to work surprisingly well. After some initial calculations of how much force each piston could exert before risking leg injury, he found that whilst it did work, to an extent, the pressure required was beyond the capability of the compressor they had on hand. After a shopping trip, a bigger compressor was located, but that still needed a modification to get anywhere near its maximum 200 psi rating. The thing is, that modification was to bypass the regulator and the safety valve, and this is definitely something you don’t want to be making a habit of. Compressed air systems like this can hold quite a bit of an explosion potential if pushed beyond reasonable limits, and care needs to be taken to keep things within safe bounds. Cost-wise, [Ian] does mention a figure of around $3,000 USD making it a bit of a pricey project, but hey a YouTuber’s paying the bill, so it must just be a drop in the ocean for them? # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Remoticon_2021_//_Jay_Bowles_Dips_Into_The Plasmaverse_|_Hackaday⠀⇛ Every hacker out there is familiar with the zaps and sizzles of the Tesla coil, or the crash and thunder of lighting strikes on our hallowed Earth. These phenomena all involve the physics of plasma, a subject near and dear to [Jay Bowles’s] heart. Thus, he graced Remoticon 2021 with a enlightening talk taking us on a Dip Into The Plasmaverse. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Internal_Combustion_Torque_Monster_Has_Great Impact_|_Hackaday⠀⇛ Once the domain of automotive repair shops and serious hobbyists with air compressors, the impact driver so famously used to remove and install wheel lug nuts and other Big Fasteners with just a squeeze of the trigger is more accessible than ever. Thanks to Lithium Ion batteries and powerful and compact brushless motors, you can now buy a reasonably powerful and torquey impact driver for a relatively low price- no air compressor needed! But what if you relish the thought of a noisy, unwieldy and unnecessarily loud torque monster? Then the video below the break by [Torque Test Channel] is just what you need! Now, this is Hackaday, so we don’t have to go into detail about why a person might want to rip out the electric motor and adapt a 60cc 2 stroke engine in its place. Of course that’s the obvious choice. But [Torque Test Channel] isn’t just mucking about for the fun of it. No, they’re having their fun, experimenting with internal combustion engines in odd places before they are banned by 2024 in California. Now, we’re not sure if the ban includes these exact types of engines- but who needs details when you have an impact driver that can change semi tires like a NASCAR pit crew. o § Integrity/Availability⠀➾ # § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ ‘UpNote’_Note-Taking_App_is_Now Available_on_Linux⠀⇛ If you’re yet to settle on a note-taking service that works across platforms you may want to check out a new option now available for Linux: UpNote. Now, I will mention upfront that the UpNote Linux client is Electron-based, and it is closed-source, proprietary software. The service does offer a free tier that lets you create “up to” 50 notes using basic features but you will need to shell out $0.99/month subscription (or pay a $19.99 one off fee) to create more than this, and unlock advanced options like tables, attachments, and extra export options. # § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Dark Reading ☛ Attivo_Expands_Active_Directory Protection_from_Unmanaged_Devices,_Including_Mac, Linux,_IoT/OT⠀⇛ Attivo Networks ADSecure-DC solution joins the company’s existing suite of Active Directory protection products. # ⚓ USCERT ☛ CISA_Adds_95_Known_Exploited Vulnerabilities_to_Catalog [Ed: Microsoft_Windows TCO]⠀⇛ CISA has added 95 new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. These types of vulnerabilities are a frequent attack vector for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risk to the federal enterprise. # ⚓ USCERT ☛ NSA_Releases_Network_Infrastructure Security_Guidance [Ed: Same NSA that puts_back doors_in_everything]⠀⇛ The National Security Agency (NSA) has released a new Cybersecurity Technical Report (CTR): Network Infrastructure Security Guidance. The report captures best practices based on the depth and breadth of experience in supporting customers and responding to threats. Recommendations include perimeter and internal network defenses to improve monitoring and access controls throughout the network. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ Public Knowledge ☛ Will_Microsoft_Use_Activision_Blizzard to_Freeze_Out_Rivals?_–_Public_Knowledge⠀⇛ Virtual bullets and explosions dance across the screen, yet I’m far more focused on what’s coming in through my Playstation headset. Two of my best friends live across the country, yet we stay in touch through the team-based online shooter game Overwatch. Bemoaning the substandard play of our competitors (and occasionally other teammates) is interspersed with discussions of our families, professional lives, and significant others. It almost feels as if we are back in the college dorm room where we met a decade ago, instead of three time zones apart. Our online gatherings, and many others like it, are now in jeopardy. You see, Overwatch is made by Activision Blizzard and the three of us play on Sony’s Playstation console. Microsoft, Sony’s chief gaming rival, has announced it will be acquiring Activision Blizzard for a whopping $68.7 billion. The deal merits rigorous scrutiny by antitrust enforcers. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Public Domain Review ☛ James_Sowerby’s_*British Mineralogy*_(1802–1817)_–_The_Public_Domain_Review⠀⇛ Five-part mineralogical handbook containing more than four hundred vividly hand-colored engravings of various rocks, minerals, and compounds. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3773 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 03.03.22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Links_3/3/2022:_Mozilla’s_DRM_Ads_and_New_From_Banana_Pi⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 2:48 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Distributions o Devices/Embedded * Free_Software/Open_Source * Leftovers * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ The_Linux_Link_Tech_Show_Episode_945⠀⇛ Joels swipes right on inventory software o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ Shadow_stacks_for_user_space_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ The call stack is a favorite target for attackers attempting to compromise a running process; if an attacker finds a way to overwrite a return address on the stack, they can redirect control to code of their choosing, leading to a situation best described as “game over”. As a result, a great deal of effort has gone into protecting the stack. One technique that offers promise is a shadow stack; support for shadow stacks is thus duly showing up in various processors. Support for protecting user- space applications with shadow stacks is taking a bit longer; it is currently under discussion within the kernel community, but adding this feature is trickier than one might think. Among other things, these patches have been around for long enough that they have developed some backward-compatibility problems of their own. # ⚓ Thoughts_on_software-defined_silicon_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ People are attracted to free software for a number of reasons, including price, overall quality, community support, and available features. But, for many of us, the value of free software is to be found in its ability to allow us to actually own and maintain control over our systems. Antifeatures in free software tend not to last long, and free drivers can often unlock capabilities of the hardware that its vendors may not have seen fit to make available. Intel’s upcoming “software defined silicon” (SDSi) mechanism may reduce that control, though, by taking away access to hardware features from anybody who has not paid the requisite fees. SDSi is a “feature” that is expected to make an appearance in upcoming Intel processors. Its purpose is to disable access to specific processor capabilities in the absence of a certificate from Intel saying otherwise. As the enabling patch set from David Box makes clear, the interface to the mechanism itself is relatively simple. It appears as a device on the bus that offers a couple of operations: install an “authentication key certificate” or a “capability activation payload”. The certificate is used to authenticate any requests to enable features, while the payload contains the requests themselves. Unless this device has been used to store an acceptable certificate and payload, the features that it governs will be unavailable to software running on that CPU. The SDSi hardware also maintains a couple of counters that track the number of unsuccessful attempts that have been made to load a certificate or enable a feature. Should either counter exceed a threshold, the mechanism will be disabled entirely; the only way to get it back will be to power-cycle the processor. Presumably, the intent here is to thwart attempted brute-force attacks against the SDSi gatekeeper. Intel is clear enough about the purpose behind this new mechanism. SDSi will enable shipping CPUs with features that may be of interest to users, but which are unavailable unless additional payments are made. The restricted capabilities will be present on all shipped CPUs, but the customers, who might have thought that they own their expensive processors, will not be able to use their systems to their fullest capability without add-on (and perhaps recurring) payments to the vendor. # ⚓ A_last_look_at_the_4.4_stable_series_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Linus Torvalds released the 4.4 kernel on January 10, 2016 and promptly left the building for the greener fields of 4.5. This kernel was finished from his point of view, but it was just beginning its life in the wider world, and became the first long-term-stable release to be supported for more than two years. Indeed, the 4.4 release became one of the longest-supported and most widely used releases in the history of the kernel project (so far); it was deployed in vast numbers of Android devices, among other places. The final 4.4 stable release took place on February 3, over six years after 4.4 was “finished”; it is time to take a look at what happened to 4.4 in its stable life. There were 302 stable updates released for 4.4 over the 2,216 days of its supported life — approximately one release per week for the entire six years. Those releases added 18,974 non-merge changesets to that “stable” kernel (about 8.6 patches per day, every day). By virtue of that work, the 4.4 kernel grew by nearly 90,000 lines of code; 72 new source files were added during that time. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ How_to_Install_PyBrain_Python_Library_in_Linux⠀⇛ PyBrain is an open-source Machine Learning library for Python that aims at providing easy-to-use yet flexible and robust algorithms for handling machine learning tasks.

Thanks to this it is a CMS easy to use and configure, but above all it is very fast and efficient. One of the most important features of WonderCMS is that it does not require a database driver. So, you can use it in many circumstances. So let’s go for it and by the way, we will use Nginx as a web server and increase the performance of the web. # ⚓ Easily_Run_Windows_Software_on_Linux_with_Bottles⠀⇛ Wine, which is short for Wine is Not an Emulator, is the flagship open-source compatibility layer available within the Linux ecosystem – or generally POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) compliant – for Windows applications. A decent open source project has been established with the primary goal of ensuring the long-term potential of Windows on Linux. Considering the continuous development of the platform, Wine has become instrumental in helping Windows users, especially those new to Linux to transition to a Linux-based operating system as their daily driver. However, it hasn’t had a lot of success due to the incompatibility with some Windows applications that may arise and as a result, many are often left disappointed as they usually expect a smooth experience as they had on Windows which is no further from the truth. For what it’s worth, these apps have their unique dependencies that Wine may not be able to satisfy and this is where Bottles comes in. # ⚓ Solve_Error:_Error_establishing_a_database_connection WordPress⠀⇛ After reading this tutorial, you will learn how to check your database name, username, and password and change them within the WordPress configuration file and your server settings. All instructions in this WordPress tutorial include screenshots, making it easy for all users to follow the steps described. # ⚓ What_is_DKMS_in_Linux⠀⇛ DKMS or Dynamic Kernel Module Support is a system that allows discrete kernel modules to update without the need to modify the entire kernel. It is free software under GPL v2 and written by Dell’s Linux Engineering Team. DKMS was initially developed for Dell Computer Corporation to distribute software patches to their customers in a well-defined manner. # ⚓ Solve_“Error:_Your_php_installation_appears_to_be_missing the_mysql_extension,_which_is_required_by_wordpress.”⠀⇛ This WordPress tutorial explains how to solve the error: “Your php installation appears to be missing the mysql extension which is required by wordpress.” After reading this tutorial, you’ll know how to solve this problem using different methods.

After reading this article, you will know how to check if your file is supported and add file extension exceptions that allow new file types. All instructions explained in this tutorial include screenshots for all WordPress level users to be able to apply them easily. # ⚓ How_Do_I_Use_Let’s_Encrypt_on_Synology?⠀⇛ Let’s Encrypt is a free certificate authority (CA). They issue SSL certificates for your domain name for free. In this article, I am going to show you how to generate a Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate and use it on your Synology NAS. So, let’s get started. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ SteamOS_3.0_Recovery_Image_for_Steam_Deck_Now_Available_for Download⠀⇛ The official SteamOS 3.0 recovery image for the Steam Deck is now available for download along with detailed instructions on how to flash it and the various recovery options available for performing various maintenance tasks on the gaming device. One thing to note here is the fact that this isn’t the SteamOS 3.0 image you’ve all been waiting for. This is just a recovery image for Steam Deck owners in case they want to perform a full factory reset, reformats the home partitions, make changes to the boot partition, or reinstall SteamOS on the Steam Deck. o § Distributions⠀➾ # § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ Freespire:_Freespire_8.2_Released⠀⇛ Today, the Freespire development team is pleased to announce the release of Freespire 8.2, the latest incremental release for our FOSS product line. With a broad application lineup ready for our users, Freespire 8.2 is the logical continuation of a great desktop product. Aside from updates, we have listened to our users and made several changes. Most noticeably, we have switched from the GNOME desktop environment to the latest LTS of Plasma KDE, 5.18.8. Additionally, many of our users have requested them, so we have included the full range of multimedia codecs for our users to consume / create content in whatever format they like. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Banana_Pi_teases_Rockchip_RK3588_SoM_and_development_kit_– CNX_Software⠀⇛ Banana Pi has showcased its first engineering samples of a Rockchip RK3588 SoM (system-on-module) with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB flash, as well as a development kit with dual Ethernet, three HDMI ports, SATA interfaces, PCIe interface, and more. Rockchip RK3588 octa-core Cortex-A76/A55 processor is the most powerful from the company, both in terms of CPU and GPU power, but also with a wide range of high-speed interfaces, and will be found in the upcoming Radxa ROCK5 single board computer, and a yet-to-be-announced board from Pine64. # § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ diziet_|_3D_printed_hard_case_for_Fairphone_4⠀⇛ About 4 years ago, I posted about making a 3D printed case for my then-new phone. The FP2 was already a few years old when I got one and by now, some spares are unavailable – which is a problem, because I’m terribly hard on hardware. Indeed, that’s why I need a very sturdy case for my phone – a case which can be ablative when necessary. # ⚓ Soil_Moisture_Sensor_Coating_Lessons_Learned_The_Hard Way_|_Hackaday⠀⇛ Ever wanted to measure soil moisture? Common “soil moisture meter module arduino raspberry compatible free shipping” PCBs might deceive you with their ascetic looks. Today, [Raphael (@rbaron_)] is here to teach us (Twitter, unrolled) what it takes to build a soil- embedded sensor that can actually survive contact with a plant. # § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ 15_Android_Secret_Security_Codes_You_Need_to_Know⠀⇛ # ⚓ 14_handy_hidden_features_in_the_Gmail_Android_app_| Computerworld⠀⇛ # ⚓ What_happened_to_the_Android_One_program?_–_Android Authority⠀⇛ # ⚓ Two_more_Xperia_smartphones_are_getting_Android_12 updates_–_PhoneArena⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android_app_deals_of_the_day:_Cyberlords_–_Arcology, more_–_9to5Toys⠀⇛ # ⚓ This_nasty_Android_malware_steals_your_passwords_— and_it’s_still_in_Google_Play_right_now_|_Tom’s_Guide⠀⇛ # ⚓ Samsung_caught_throttling_Android_apps_on_Galaxy devices_–_9to5Google⠀⇛ o § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ # § Web Browsers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ As_the_tide_goes_out_at_Mozilla,_they_now_run full_page_Disney_ads_on_their_Web_site._– BaronHK’s_Rants⠀⇛ Mozilla is now running full screen ads for Disney movies. It gets worse. At the bottom of the page it has “stickers”, including one that says “I love Indie Tech”. Yes, Firefox is very Indie. They rely on $500 million search deals with Google for 90% of their funding, and put ads, crapware, and alerts for a VPN that they rebranded into the browser, and they license DRM software….from Google, which you are obviously not allowed to have source code for, and which is impossible to license if you actually are an independent Web browser. (I don’t even think that LibreWolf got a license from Google for Widevine. I think they just lie and download it claiming to be Firefox.) # ⚓ [Tor] New_Alpha_Release:_Tor_Browser_11.5a5_ (Android)⠀⇛ Tor Browser 11.5a5 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory. This version includes important security updates to Firefox. # § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ [Derek Sivers] Generate_unique_random_values_directly in_the_database⠀⇛ The chance of random clash is very small. But you need to be completely sure that the new random string is unique — not already existing in that column in that table. So here’s a function where you give it the string length, table name, and column name. It will return a random string confirmed to be unique — to not exist there already. It gets a random string, searches for it in that table and column, and if not found, returns it. Otherwise, if it is found, gets a new random string and loops back, trying again until not found. # § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Scala_vs._Java_Compared⠀⇛ Scala and Java are both very popular high- level languages used in the modern world of programming. However, Scala was specially designed to cater to the shortcomings of Java. In particular, it is designed to be compact and concise so that the programmer needs to write a minimal amount of code. Both these languages have their own areas of expertise and use-cases. Therefore, it will be really nice to draw a thorough comparison between them. In this guide, we will compare Scala and Java with each other by talking about their main features, highlighting the key differences between the two programming languages, followed by the advantages and disadvantages of both. # ⚓ Scala_Flatmap⠀⇛ We have already talked about the usage of maps in Scala. Therefore, today, we will try to move one step further by introducing you to a very useful function of the Scala programming language, i.e., FlatMap. You might want to convert a different data structure to a map at times. Additionally, you might also want to flatten this map, i.e., separate out the elements of this map in the form of distinct characters. In this guide, we will be talking about the FlatMap method of the Scala programming language that will help us convert a given data structure to a map while flattening its output. # ⚓ Scala_Collect_Method⠀⇛ The Scala programming language has many useful built-in functions that you can use for performing complex programming problems. Additionally, these functions also help you carry out routine tasks very efficiently. This guide will teach you about the Collect method of the Scala programming language and its usage on the Ubuntu 20.04 system. # ⚓ Scala_Case_Class⠀⇛ The Case class in Scala is pretty much like a regular Scala class but with some additional functionality. The objects of this class can be instantiated even without using the “new” keyword. Moreover, we can conveniently copy one object of the Case class to another entirely or even while changing some of the values of some of the attributes of this class. This article will be dedicated to using the Case class in Scala. # ⚓ Scala_Append_to_list⠀⇛ Scala is becoming a high-level programming language as it is concise object-oriented and has different functional programming languages. A critical distinct about these functional languages from a structure base is that we cannot add, modify, or alter any change in them as functions are immutable, specific to a Scala list. This section of the article will introduce and demonstrate the most common ways and methods to append in the Scala list. # ⚓ How_to_Square_a_Number_in_C++⠀⇛ C++ is used to write the bulk of game libraries. The extension of a C++ file is “.cc” or “.cpp.” It’s a high-level as well as a low-level language. C++ was created with a focus on systems programming, embedded, resource-constrained software, and big systems in mind, with performance, efficiency, and usage flexibility as design goals. C++ is also effective in various situations, having particular strengths in software infrastructure and resource- constrained applications such as desktop apps, video games, servers (such as online e- commerce search). When we square a number, we simply multiply it by itself. We have to utilize a header file if we want to get a square of a number. Header files allow us to declare a function with a type placeholder that the compiler will fill in at compile-time based on how the function is used. # ⚓ Is_C++_Hard_to_Learn?⠀⇛ In the field of programming, from browsers to robots, the C++ language is the core part of all the software and modern languages. That is a technique if you want to learn the C++ programming language. C++ is ascended from a language called C programming language, a famous low-level language. It was established by multiple users. Low-level programming language means a language that is very near and familiar to the computer’s hardware but difficult to understand for humans. Also, this is abstract from the assembly language. C++ was founded in 1979; at that time, it was called C with classes, and the goal was to merge the low-level features of C with the object-oriented high-level programming language. The replacement of C was called C++, with the incremental operator established in C. From that time, C++ has advanced into an important language for the development of applications that depend on speed processing power, such as autonomous devices, the internet of things, and video games. # ⚓ Warning:_control_reaches_end_of_non-void_function⠀⇛ When we write the programs in C++. After executing programs, sometimes we get the error: ‘warning: control reaches the end of non-void function’, which means that certain functions that would have to return some values attain the termination. It might not give any value later. At this time, it is good to take a look at whether or not every control flow contains a return value. To recognize this fault, we first must recognize the working of the compiler. # ⚓ Philip_Chimento:_Comparing_Apples_and_AppleOranges⠀⇛ I’m happy with how Temporal encourages the programmer to handle these cases. When I went to try out the comparisons that were suggested in the original tweet, I found it was natural to pick either PlainDate or PlainDateTime to represent the data. One thing that Temporal could have done instead (and in fact, we went back and forth on this a few times before the proposal reached its currently frozen stage in the JS standardization process) would be to make the choice of data type, and therefore of comparison semantics, more explicit. # ⚓ [MKWS] mkws.sh_statistics⠀⇛ # ⚓ [SequoiaPGP] sq_stakeholders_interviews:_summary⠀⇛ Last month I was looking for volunteers to be interviewed as stakeholders for sq. The interviews happened last week and this is an anonymized summary of what I was told. I promised to make the summary anonymous to let the volunteers speak more freely. I didn’t have a fixed list of questions. Instead, we had somewhat free-form discussions about using cryptography in general, OpenPGP in particular, practices around exchanging and authenticating certificates (public keys), and related topics. # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Moving_Python’s_bugs_to_GitHub_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Over the past seven years or so, Python has slowly been moving its development infrastructure to GitHub; we covered some of the early discussions at the end of 2014. One piece of that infrastructure, bug tracking, has not been moved from bugs.python.org, but plans are underway to make that happen soon. It is not a simple or straightforward process to do so, however, so the transition will take up to a week to complete; there are a number of interesting facets to the switch, as it entails clearing some technical, and even legal, hurdles. # ⚓ Python_support_for_regular_expressions_ [LWN.net]⠀⇛ Regular expressions are a common feature of computer languages, especially higher-level languages like Ruby, Perl, Python, and others, for doing fairly sophisticated text-pattern matching. Some languages, including Perl, incorporate regular expressions into the language itself, while others have classes or libraries that come with the language installation. Python’s standard library has the re module, which provides facilities for working with regular expressions; as a recent discussion on the python-ideas mailing shows, though, that module has somewhat fallen by the wayside in recent times. # ⚓ Tkinter_Radiobutton⠀⇛ Tkinter radio button widget adds a multiple-choice button and permits the user to pick only one option from a list. Each set of radiobuttons must be associated with the same variable, and each button must represent a single value. To transition from one radionbutton to another, press the Tab key. # ⚓ Tkinter_Change_Label_Text⠀⇛ Text or a picture can be shown on the screen using the Tkinter label widgets. Only one typeface can be displayed on a label. Multiple lines of text are possible. A label can include any text, and a window can contain many labels (just like any widget can be displayed multiple times in a window). You can easily change/update the Python Tkinter label text with the label text property. Changing the label’s text property is another way to change the Tkinter label text. This lesson will look at modifying label text when a button is clicked in Tkinter Python. # § Rust⠀➾ # ⚓ This_Week_In_Rust:_This_Week_in_Rust_432⠀⇛ * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ [Techdirt] Cities_Are_Turning_To_Automation_To_Enforce_Vehicle Noise_Ordinances⠀⇛ Automated enforcement may ease the burden on law enforcement agencies and direct more officers towards serious crime, but nearly every device given that job has tended to perform poorly. Red light and speed enforcement cameras often get things wrong while simultaneously depriving falsely accused drivers of the opportunity to confront their accusers. And, because cities directly benefit from issued tickets, city officials have tinkered with things like yellow light timing to increase the number of tickets handed out. o ⚓ 3D_Printed_Shoes_Make_Bigfoot_Tracks_|_Hackaday⠀⇛ [Stephan Henrich] is probably going to set off a wave of bigfoot sightings if his new shoe, the Cryptide sneaker takes off. The shoe is completely 3D printed in flexible TPE using a laser sintering printer from Sintratec. The shoe takes a name from cryptozoology and, in fact, would leave a puzzling footprint due to its articulated toes and scaly-looking sole. Judging from the look of the sole, it should be pretty cushy and we presume if you were 3D printing these, you’d scan or precisely measure the intended foot for a perfect fit. You can see a video about the shoe below. The entire shoe is made from a single material, but different parts of the shoes have different degrees of stiffness created by varying the thickness of the TPE. Apparently, Sintratec is really into shoes since they also are showcasing the Earth Moc by [Daniel Shirley]. We wondered why they didn’t print a second shoe for the guy at the start of that video. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ The_Return_Of_SCSI_|_Hackaday⠀⇛ There was a time when high-performance disk drives used SCSI — the Small Computer System Interface — and everything else was kid stuff. Now, advanced forms of SCSI are still around but there are other high-performing disk interfaces, too. But some old gear really loves their classic SCSI ports, and [Adrian] decided to try hooking some of them up to some modern computers. You can see how he did in the video below. The key to the attempt is a USB to SCSI adapter which was unusual but not unheard of, and [Adrian] came across one from 1999. Of course, you have to wonder if a modern computer will support the device or will be able to load the drivers from the old CD. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ [Orac] Mark_Sircus:_MMS_(bleach)_for_COVID_“vaccine-induced cancer”⠀⇛ When last I encountered Mark Sircus, who is an acupuncturist, practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, and the director of the International Medical Veritas Association, it was in the context of discussions of the violent rhetoric of the antivaccine movement, with an article by Sircus from 2011 serving as one of the earlier examples that I had written about of an antivaxxer saying, “string the bastards up.” According to Sircus, the “bastards” whom he wanted to string up were the “doctors in white coats” who were injecting “poisonous heavy metals into babies.” (Unsurprisingly, the article is no longer on his website, which is why I had to link to an Archive.org Wayback Machine version of it.) More recent encounters with Sircus involved his selling an e-book advocating “natural allopathic medicine” (whatever that meant) to treat Ebola and pH quackery for cancer that he called “voltage healing.” He’s still touting “Natural Allopathic Medicine“—now capitalized!—for “cancer, heart and kidney disease, diabetes as well as for neurological conditions like Autism, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases,” (because of course he is) # ⚓ [Common Dreams] Warren_Demands_Big_Pharma_End_‘Corporate Price_Gouging’⠀⇛ U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and a dozen of her colleagues in Congress took aim at Big Pharma on Tuesday over “troubling price increases for brand- name drugs in January 2022.” The lawmakers’ letter to Stephen J. Ubl, president and CEO of the industry trade group Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), highlights the findings of two new analyses and declares that “Congress and the public deserve an explanation for how manufacturers have made these seemingly inexplicable pricing decisions.” # ⚓ [The Verge] TikTok_faces_investigation_into_its_impact_on young_people’s_mental_health⠀⇛ TikTok has struggled in the past to meet the needs of its younger users — it had to pay $5.7 million to the FTC in 2019 to settle accusations that its predecessor, Musical.ly, didn’t get proper permission from the parents of young children who signed up to use the app. The settlement also required TikTok to strictly limit how users under 13 could interact with content on the app. Recently, some researchers sounded the alarm about how few studies there were that looked into TikTok’s potential health impacts, despite its massive user base. o § Integrity/Availability⠀➾ # § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ [Krebs On Security] Conti_Ransomware_Group_Diaries, Part_II:_The_Office [Ed: Windows TCO]⠀⇛ Earlier this week, a Ukrainian security researcher leaked almost two years’ worth of internal chat logs from Conti, one of the more rapacious and ruthless ransomware gangs in operation today. Tuesday’s story examined how Conti dealt with its own internal breaches and attacks from private security firms and governments. In Part II of this series we’ll explore what it’s like to work for Conti, as described by the Conti employees themselves. # ⚓ [Silicon Angle] Following_cyberattack_on_supplier, Toyota_halts_production_in_Japan [iophk: Windows TCO]⠀⇛ Toyota Motor Corp. has been forced to halt manufacturing operations at all of its plants in Japan after a cyberattack struck a major component supplier. The attack targeted Kojima Industries Corp., a maker of interior and exterior automotive parts. The exact form of attack was not disclosed but is suspected to be ransomware. Nikkei Asia reported that Kojima said this morning local time that it had received a message demanding a ransom and that it had confirmed the existence of a virus. # ⚓ [CNN] Cyberattack_on_Toyota’s_supply_chain_shuts_its 14_factories_in_Japan_for_24_hours [iophk: Windows TCO]⠀⇛ Reports of the powerful malware Emotet being used have increased since the first week of February, according to the Japan Computer Emergency Response Team/Coordination Center, which provides information on cybersecurity. Emotet is used to gain access to a victim’s computer before then downloading additional malicious software, such as those designed to steal banking passwords, or ransomware which can lock a computer until an extortion fee is paid. # ⚓ [Computer Weekly] Toyota_production_to_resume_after supply_chain_attack [iophk: Windows TCO]⠀⇛ The attack took place against the systems of Kojima Industries, which is contracted to supply plastics and electronic components to Toyota. According to Reuters, the firm found an error on a file server on Saturday 26 February. Following a reboot, it found malware, and a “threatening message”, which may indicate it has fallen victim to a ransomware attack. # ⚓ Internxt:_Conserv_Your_Files_and_Photos_in_Total Privacy_and_Security [Ed: Internxt seems to be paying sites to promote its junk, some proprietary software which falsely promises security. Best thing is, save locally, not buzzwords like "Web 3".]⠀⇛ Linux users have plenty of options when it is about cloud services. Most people use only a few popular storages like Dropbox, pCloud, etc. But there are some newly invented cloud services available that don’t compromise with privacy and security issues anyway. Internxt is one of them, and it has already placed a mark on the list of the best-encrypted cloud services for its best-in-class security and encryption system. After learning about the top-notch features of this open source cloud service, I planned to give it a try on my Ubuntu system. And finally, I am here to share my experience of using this app. So, let me introduce you to Internxt first. # § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ [EFF] Victory!_San_Francisco_Mayor Withdraws_Harmful_Measure_Against Surveillance_Oversight_Law⠀⇛ The mayor and the San Francisco Police Department recently used public fears of crime as justification to introduce the proposed ballot initiative, which would have created massive exceptions to the ordinance’s requirement that police get permission from democratically elected Supervisors before using or acquiring any new surveillance technology. Breed specifically wanted to allow police unilateral authority to access networks of surveillance cameras that they had previously used, without Board approval, to spy on protests in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. Several members of the Board of Supervisors countered this initiative by offering their own ballot measure, which would have strengthened, rather than undermined, the surveillance oversight ordinance. Now that the mayor has pulled her ballot initiative, the Supervisors have done the same. This is a great victory for the people of San Francisco, who increasingly realize that when police are given more and more power to surveil the public, it is people of color, the unhoused, immigrants, and activists who most often bear the brunt. This victory would not have been possible without the diverse and engaged coalition of dedicated San Francisco citizens and activists who wrote to the mayor, called into Board of Supervisors meetings, and made their concerns heard. EFF and the rest of the coalition will remain vigilant in the event that the police, mayor, or any other entity attempts to roll back the progress we’ve made in creating a San Francisco that is welcoming to all people.  # ⚓ [IT Wire] ABC_iview_logins_may_raise suspicion_of_privatisation,_says_privacy body⠀⇛ APF chair David Vaile and deputy chair Dr Juanita Fernando [below, right] said in the letter, which was released on the organisation’s website on Wednesday, that forcing users to log in to use a service which contained content they had paid for was creating “a non-voluntary online identification scheme of the kind typically justified as supporting the sale of mass psychographic profiling ‘insights’ to a platform’s advertisers”. The ABC announced the compulsory logins in a statement on 17 February, claiming that it would collect user data but would not sell the same. However, the data will be shared with both Google and Facebook. # ⚓ [The Verge] Twitter_may_be_adding_a built-in_podcasts_tab⠀⇛ Recorded Spaces are already a bit like podcasts, albeit only temporary ones, which only last 30 days. If a Twitter podcast feature is anything like Spotify or Apple Podcasts, users would be able to choose from and listen to podcasts at their leisure, with no rush to catch a live Spaces broadcast or listen to recordings before time runs out. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ [Counter Punch] Testing_New_Weapon_Systems:_Meaning_of_the Russian_Military_Intervention_into_Ukraine⠀⇛ This boast of the Russian President Vladimir Putin, in 2019, with respect to the hypersonic weapons capacity of the Russian Federation provides one of the back stories for understanding the present conflagration that has escalated in the Ukraine theater of the European war. The Russian capabilities in relation to Electronic Magnetic Pulse (EMP) warfare along with the cyberweapons have never been tested in an all-out military/ information/financial confrontation. The entanglement of non-nuclear weapons with nuclear weapons and their enabling capabilities is exacerbating the risk of a global war, especially in the face of the US fear of the closer technological and financial cooperation between China and Russia. The Ukraine invasion and the escalation of that war has brought to the forefront the questions of disarmament so that both the leaders of NATO and the leaders of the Russian Federation do not bring humanity to the brink of violence and deaths that will come out of a protracted war. Numerous press reports have drawn attention to the reality that the United States is threatened by international opposition to the weaponization of the dollar. Drawing from the drip drip story of World War 1, this analysis argues that the progressive forces and peace elements internationally must equip themselves with the knowledge of the information warfare that is being waged by both NATO and the Russian Federation in a war between two distinct branches of global capitalism. It is imperative that sober elements in the world intervene before this adventure in Ukraine metastasizes into a greater tragedy for all humanity. The conclusion will draw from the lessons of Rosa Luxemburg and those anti militarists who fought for a new social system and who fought for the acceleration of the self-determination projects internationally. The capitalists in Russia are just as racists, homophobic and Islamophobic as the white supremacist elements of France, Hungary, Poland, Britain, Germany, Ukraine and the United States. A progressive left opposition to the Russian war in Ukraine must be linked to the anti- racist and anti-imperialist struggles in the world. # ⚓ [Common Dreams] Analysis:_Nuclear_Disaster_in_Ukraine_Could Make_Swaths_of_Europe_‘Uninhabitable_for_Decades’⠀⇛ The international environmental group Greenpeace warned Wednesday that Russia’s intensifying assault is placing Ukraine’s nuclear power facilities under serious threat, risking devastation “far worse even than the Fukushima Daiichi catastrophe of 2011.” “For the first time in history, a major war is being waged in a country with multiple nuclear reactors and thousands of tons of highly radioactive spent fuel.” # ⚓ [Counter Punch] The_USA_Sees_Russia’s_Operation_in_Ukraine as_Blessing_in_Disguise:_Does_China_See_it_as_Blessing_for Military_Action_Against_Taiwan?⠀⇛ Every country in the NATO military alliance is providing billions in anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons to the Ukrainians (of course, every country in the NATO alliance is owned by the United States which has recently coughed up $850 million for the cause). Along with those weapons the alliance has nodded its approval to the world’s mercenaries to descend on Ukraine getting free passage into Western Ukraine and transit through countries who directly border Ukraine. Privatemilitary.org lists all the private military contractors who are likely exploring their options in Ukraine. It is also great news for the West’s defense contractors who manufacture anti-tank/aircraft, small arms, landmines, grenades, artillery, radios; in short, billions in profits will be earned off the war in eastern Ukraine: there never seems to be a downside to their businesses. # ⚓ [TruthOut] Nigerian_Student_Fleeing_War_Describes_Rampant Racism_Against_Africans_at_Border⠀⇛ # ⚓ [Common Dreams] Opinion_|_JFK’s_Advice_to_Joe_Biden_in Tough_Times⠀⇛ Dear Mr. President: # ⚓ [Common Dreams] Across_Ukraine,_Civilians_Rise_Up_to_Face Down_Russian_Army⠀⇛ As Russia intensifies its deadly assault on Ukraine, civilians throughout the country are putting their lives on the line to slow the advance of invading troops and tanks. “You can see videos or reports of people protesting, people blocking roads, and people calling on soldiers to leave.” # ⚓ [Common Dreams] Opinion_|_How_We_are_Fighting_the_War Machine_Locally⠀⇛ Imperialism is a large issue to take on as student activists. We sometimes feel like we only have access to small levers at the city level, and then even smaller levers at the university to enact change. For anti-war groups like mine in Chicago, we’ve had to get creative about how we address imperialism locally. For us, it has meant taking on war profiteers in our own city. # ⚓ [The Nation] Media_Malpractice_and_Information_War_in Ukraine⠀⇛ As much of the world rallies behind Ukrainians defending their country against a Russian invasion, mainstream news outlets and social media in the United States and elsewhere have been awash in tales of Ukrainian heroism. The Ukrainian defense against a much larger force has indeed been inspiring, but all conflicts include informational warfare—from all sides. Some of the most widely shared images and stories of Ukrainian resistance have fallen apart under scrutiny or in the face of subsequent reporting, yet many who are rightly skeptical of Russian claims are displaying very little caution about pronouncements from the other side, leading to a wave of credulous media coverage that serves to propagandize more than illuminate. # ⚓ [The Nation] The_Riddle_of_Zoomer_Politics⠀⇛ Young people today “can be this century’s ‘Greatest Generation,’” according to pollster John Della Volpe, who predicts that Generation Z “will change America more than growing up in America will change them.” Gen Z, by his estimation, is so politically powerful that he credits them with Donald Trump’s 2020 defeat; they’re also “why Mitch McConnell is no longer Senate majority leader.” They are singularly dedicated to change—no other age group can compare: “Never before has a generation been so devoted to serving justice and solving the underlying issues that hold so many in America back from pursuing their best lives.” # ⚓ [Democracy Now] Filipino_Scholar_Walden_Bello_on_Why_the Global_South_Is_Suspicious_of_U.S._Motives_in_Ukraine_War⠀⇛ We speak with acclaimed Filipino scholar and activist Walden Bello on the Global South’s response to the unfolding crisis in Ukraine. Bello says there’s hesitation from many world leaders to take an active role in the crisis, arguing that there is a lack of explicit national interests and a general suspicion the U.S. provoked the invasion to take advantage of the subsequent backlash against Russia. He says people in the Global South realize that ever since the Soviet Union fell apart, ”NATO and the U.S. tried to take advantage of it in an aggressive eastward expansion of NATO right onto the countries that would border the Soviet Union.” Bello also expresses fear the U.S. may try to stoke tensions with China over Taiwan, saying, “China’s not interested at this point in any sort of military conflict that would jeopardize what is its big reputation right now of peaceful economic diplomacy.” # ⚓ [Democracy Now] As_Biden_Touts_Anti-Russia_Response_in SOTU,_U.S._Remains_Addicted_to_Fossil_Fuels_That_Drive_War⠀⇛ We discuss President Biden’s first State of the Union address with Jacobin magazine’s Branko Marcetic, who says Biden should have focused more of his speech on laying out goals to reach renewable energy independence since the continued reliance by the U.S. on the oil and gas reserves of countries like Russia and Saudi Arabia gives those countries “relative freedom” to commit war crimes on the world stage. He says the task ahead is to “both avoid military escalation” and “try and get a ceasefire agreed to as soon as possible.” Marcetic’s latest piece is headlined “Four Ways to Counter Russian Aggression That Don’t Risk Nuclear War.” # ⚓ [TruthOut] AOC_Says_US_Should_Treat_All_Asylum_Seekers_How We_Treat_Ukrainian_Refugees⠀⇛ # ⚓ [Common Dreams] ‘The_World_Is_With_Us,’_Says_Zelenskyy After_UN_Members_Vote_to_Condemn_Putin_Invasion⠀⇛ The United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday voted overwhelmingly in favor of a nonbinding resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and demanding an immediate withdrawal of troops from the country. Voting took place during the General Assembly’s first emergency meeting since 1997. # ⚓ [Common Dreams] Opinion_|_Will_Ukraine_Be_the_Graveyard_of Putinism?⠀⇛ The last surviving member of the International Brigades that fought the fascists in Spain in the 1930s died last year at the age of 101. Josep Almudéver Mateu, born in France, remembered going into battle without any ammunition for his gun. Five kilometers into his march to the front, he was finally able to cadge 10 bullets. It was nowhere near enough. Wounded and then forced underground, Mateu ended up spending three years in Spanish concentration camps and prisons. The fascists, led by Francisco Franco, went on to rule the country for nearly four decades. # ⚓ [Counter Punch] Russian_Takeover_of_Chernobyl_Poses_Grave Health_Threat⠀⇛ For the first time, a war is being fought in a nation with nuclear power reactors. Ukraine is home to the Chernobyl Reactor No. 4, which underwent a disastrous meltdown in 1986. Although the plant is no longer operating, a massive amount of radioactive waste is contained in a concrete building (called the New Safe Confinement) subsequently built over it. # ⚓ [Counter Punch] Ukraine_Maps_Tell_a_Different_Story_Than Putin’s_Claims⠀⇛ These two maps show how Putin got it wrong, and miscalculated in launching his war against Ukraine. Putin claims that two of his war aims are the “denazification” of Ukraine, and the protection of the Russian-speaking population from far-right Ukrainian ultranationalists. Like most “Big Lies,” there is a kernel of truth behind the claims. After the 2014 Maidan revolution, I raised alarms about fascist influence in the Ukraine’s new government, asserting that “the enemy of your enemy is not always your friend.” # ⚓ [Counter Punch] How_the_U.S._Started_a_Cold_War_with_Russia and_Left_Ukraine_to_Fight_It⠀⇛ But there is a more insidious reality at work beneath the surface of this classic morality play, and that is the role of the United States and NATO in setting the stage for this crisis. President Biden has called the Russian invasion “unprovoked,” but that is far from the truth. In the four days leading up to the invasion, ceasefire monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) documented a dangerous increase in ceasefire violations in Eastern Ukraine, with 5,667 violations and 4,093 explosions. # ⚓ [Counter Punch] The_Courage_of_Russian_Antiwar_Activists_is Putting_Many_Western_Leftists_to_Shame⠀⇛ Putin is no socialist. His political party, United Russia, is a reactionary and far right, and it dominates the executive branch and the Duma (legislative). He is a classic authoritarian strongman with little tolerance for dissent. What is interesting to note is that despite the UR being the dominant political party, communists have been gaining more sympathy in recent years and there is a marked longing for the days of the USSR where at least in its hay day most Russians had reliable work, good educational opportunities, housing, paid holidays and a decent living standard. Today, the poverty rate has been rising steadily while population declines, leaving a lot of elderly Russians in a bad state. And, like the United States, powerful and wealthy oligarchs run the economy to the benefit of their coffers. # ⚓ [Counter Punch] Upending_the_Global_Order⠀⇛ And on the fourth day of Russia’s invasion of neighboring Ukraine Sunday, its president, Vladimir Putin, served notice he had put his nuclear defense forces on high alert because of “aggressive statements” by the West. Escalating a conventional conflict to potential nuclear status is not a good sign.Putin is “potentially putting in play forces that, if there’s a miscalculation, could make things much, much more dangerous,” a senior U.S. defense official told the Associated Press. # ⚓ [Counter Punch] How_the_Narcotic_of_Defense_Spending Undermines_a_Sensible_Grand_Strategy⠀⇛ It is no accident that the United States is on the cusp of the Second Cold War. Future historians may well view the last 30 years as a case study in the institutional survival of the American Military – Industrial – Congressional Complex (MICC), together with its supporting blob now saturating the media, think tanks, academia, and the intelligence community.  Perhaps, these future historians will come also to view the Global War on Terror (GWOT) as the bridging operation that greased the transition to Cold War II by keeping defense budgets at Cold War levels after Cold War I ended.  Also, 9-11 may have re-acclimated the American people to the climate of fear now needed to sustain Cold War II for the remainder of the 21st Century. # ⚓ [Counter Punch] Syria’s_War_Comes_to_Ukraine⠀⇛ # ⚓ [Mint Press News] It’s_Different,_They’re_White:_Media Ignore_Conflicts_Around_the_World_to_Focus_on_Ukraine⠀⇛ KIEV, UKRAINE — We are living in dangerous times. All around the world, intense military actions are taking place. Last week alone, Russia launched a huge military invasion of Ukraine; Saudi Arabia carried out dozens of strikes on Yemen; Israel launched a wave of deadly missile attacks against Syria; and the United States restarted its bombing campaign in Somalia. # ⚓ [Mint Press News] Tears_for_Ukraine,_Sanctions_for_Russia, Yawns_for_Yemen,_Arms_for_Saudis:_The_West’s_Grotesque_Double Standard⠀⇛ HAJJAH, YEMEN – “We’re brutally bombed every day. So why doesn’t the Western world care like it does about Ukraine?!!… Is it because we don’t have blonde hair and blue eyes like Ukrainians?”  Ahmed Tamri, a Yemeni father of four, asked with furrowed brows about the outpouring of international support and media coverage of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the lack of such a reaction to the war in Yemen. # ⚓ [Democracy Now] “Ukrainians_Only”:_Nigerian_Student_Fleeing War_Describes_Rampant_Racism_Against_Africans_at_Border⠀⇛ The United Nations reports more than 800,000 people have fled Ukraine since Russia attacked last week, but many foreign nationals trying to escape have described racist discrimination and abuse, saying they were turned away from buses and at the border, while Ukrainians were welcomed with open arms. We speak with one of the African students who documented their experiences on Twitter with the hashtag #AfricansInUkraine. Nigerian student Alexander Somto Orah says the discriminatory treatment he and other African students faced started at the train station in Kyiv and continued at the border with Poland. “We started protesting and telling them they have to let us go, that this is rubbish. They take in like a hundred Ukrainians and then take in like two Africans. It doesn’t make sense, because there are more Africans there than Ukrainians at the border,” Orah recalls. “So we started pushing, and the police cocked their guns and pointed at us guns and told us that they’re going to shoot us.” Orah eventually made his way to Warsaw and is now helping other students to cross. # ⚓ [Common Dreams] Opinion_|_My_Letter_From_Kyiv_to_the_‘Anti- Imperialist_Idiots’_in_the_West⠀⇛ The following letter, written from Kyiv, Ukraine, was published on February 25, 2022: # ⚓ [Common Dreams] ‘Manifest_Violation’_of_UN_Charter:_Amnesty Decries_Russia_Invasion⠀⇛ Amnesty International said Tuesday that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine amounted to “a manifest violation of the United Nations Charter” and urged U.N. member states against letting Moscow “push the world closer toward an abyss of violence.” “There are long-lasting consequences from this for us all.” # ⚓ [Common Dreams] Russians_Fire_on_Ukraine_Civilians_Blocking Road_to_Nuclear_Plant⠀⇛ Video footage from the ground Wednesday showed Russian forces firing on ordinary Ukrainians who were blocking a road with their bodies and makeshift barricades in the town of Enerhodar in an effort to prevent Russian troops from advancing on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, the largest nuclear power facility in all of Europe. Earlier footage posted on social media and circulated by news outlets showed hundreds of residents and plant employees rallying in the street in the eastern Ukraine town in a show of defiance as Russian troops reportedly seized control of the territory surrounding the Zaporizhzhia complex, which contains six of Ukraine’s 15 nuclear energy reactors. # ⚓ [Common Dreams] Opinion_|_On_the_Right_Side_of_Ukrainian History⠀⇛ When I walked to my car on Saturday afternoon, I noticed that my neighbors were displaying a large Ukrainian flag on their front porch. Because the family is of South Asian descent, my assumption was that they probably had no direct stake in Russia’s invasion of the second-biggest country in Europe, but I could be wrong. # ⚓ [Democracy Now] Nonviolence_Int’l_in_Kyiv:_Resistance Mounts_to_Russian_Invasion_as_2,000_Civilian_Deaths Reported⠀⇛ As a massive Russian military convoy approaches Kyiv while Russia intensifies attacks on civilian infrastructure across Ukraine, we get an update from Andre Kamenshikov, Ukraine director for Nonviolence International in the southern Kyiv suburbs. He says “people are holding out, and I think there is growing confidence that the Russian forces will not be able to take the city.” He also says Russian President Putin is using the threat of NATO as propaganda to increase domestic public support of the war, and discusses why he won’t be taking up arms as a nonviolent activist. # ⚓ [FAIR] Western_Media_Accuse_China_of_Wanting_to_Do_What_US Does_to_Other_Countries⠀⇛ A flurry of recent newspaper articles have denounced what they describe as Chinese imperialism. Such texts are part of a new Cold War media blitz against China that simultaneously serves US imperialism by blessing it or denying that it exists. # ⚓ [Meduza] A_brief_history_of_the_Donbas_War,_in_photos American_Brendan_Hoffman_captures_eight_years_of_life_along the_contact_line_in_eastern_Ukraine⠀⇛ War came to Ukraine’s Donbas region in the spring of 2014, after some residents in the country’s east refused to accept the revolutionary change of power in Kyiv. In April of that year, pro-Russian protesters in Donetsk, Luhansk, and Kharkiv declared the formation of “people’s republics” independent from Ukraine. Kyiv quickly regained control of Kharkiv, but a full-fledged war broke out in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, with Russia providing explicit and tacit support to the “people’s republics” — including in the form of material and military aid. The “hot” phase of the conflict formally ended with the signing of the Minsk agreements in February 2015, although clashes and shelling continued. For seven years thereafter, the conflict seemed “frozen” — a common phenomenon in global politics. Throughout this period, American photographer Brendan Hoffman captured both civilians and combatants who found themselves on different sides of the conflict. Meduza shares his snapshots here. # ⚓ [Meduza] ‘We_told_ourselves_it_wasn’t_shelling’_The_early days_of_Russia’s_invasion_through_the_eyes_of_Odesa’s residents⠀⇛ Odesa was among the first cities hit on February 24, when Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The city has been continually shelled since the outbreak of hostilities. Prior to announcing the invasion, Vladimir Putin vowed to punish those responsible for the bloodshed at Odesa’s Trade Unions House in 2014. Now, Odesa residents are seeking safety in bomb shelters and are enlisting in territorial defense groups. In a report for Meduza, local journalist Mikhail Shtekel shares stories of the early days of the fighting in Odesa from the people living through it. # ⚓ [Meduza] The_war:_day_six:_Photos_of_Russia’s_attacks_on Ukraine_in_Kyiv_and_Kharkiv⠀⇛ On the sixth day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces intensified their artillery bombardment of Kharkiv and Kyiv. The Ukrainian side reported dozens of civilian casualties. Russian troops continued to encircle Kyiv, while barricades were built in the city and preparations made for its defense. President Volodymyr Zelensky applied for the rapid accession of Ukraine to the European Union, and the heads of eight EU countries called for Ukraine to be a candidate country.    # ⚓ [Meduza] Why_no_mass_protests_in_Russia?_Sociologist Grigory_Yudin_demonstrated_against_the_invasion_and_ended_up in_the_hospital._He_says_we’re_living_in_a_new_era.⠀⇛ On February 24, Russia began a war with Ukraine. On that same day, protests broke out all over Russia. It is difficult to call them mass demonstrations in any real sense, although ultimately almost 6,500 people were arrested (in Russia, street gatherings of this type are practically forbidden, with the authorities persecuting even individuals who picket alone). Sociologist Grigory Yudin, too, was arrested and ended up hospitalized following an anti-war protest in Moscow. Meduza special correspondent Svetlana Reiter discussed with Yudin why it doesn’t make sense to call protests in Russia “small” — and why he thinks scholars have to take a principled stand. # ⚓ [TruthOut] Prioritize_Peace_and_Humanitarian_Aid_for Ukraine_Over_Weapons,_Say_Analysts⠀⇛ # ⚓ [TruthOut] Arms_Industry_Sees_Ukraine_Conflict_as_an Opportunity,_Not_a_Crisis⠀⇛ # ⚓ [Hungary] Hungarian_opposition_protests_in_front_of_Russian “spy_bank”_in_Budapest⠀⇛ Translation by Andrea Horváth Kávai. # ⚓ [Rolling Stone] Oath_Keepers_Prepared_for_Bloody_Battle_at White_House_to_Keep_Trump_in_Office⠀⇛ The 15-page statement of facts that James signed in relation to his crime alleges that the Oath Keepers were told to prepare for bloodshed at the White House. “In the weeks leading up to January 6, 2021,” the document reads, “Rhodes instructed James and other co-conspirators to be prepared, if called upon, to report to the White House grounds to secure the perimeter and use lethal force if necessary against anyone who tried to remove President Trump from the White House, including the National Guard or other government actors who might be sent to remove President Trump as a result of the Presidential Election.” # ⚓ [ABC] Oath_Keeper_is_1st_to_plead_guilty_to_seditious conspiracy_for_Jan._6,_will_cooperate_with_prosecutors⠀⇛ Joshua James, 34, of Arab, Alabama, pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy charges on Wednesday as part of deal with prosecutors contingent on his cooperation with the U.S. government in their ongoing prosecution of defendants who were involved in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The plea deal is the first of its kind for a Jan. 6 defendant and comes nearly a year after James was charged with impeding and obstructing Congress’ affirmation of the Electoral College vote in the 2020 presidential election. # ⚓ Tools_for_Communicating_Offline_and_in_Difficult Circumstances⠀⇛ When things are difficult – maybe there’s been a disaster, or an invasion (this page is being written in 2022 just after Russia invaded Ukraine), or maybe you’re just backpacking off the grid – there are tools that can help you keep in touch, or move your data around.

We followed them out of the city, seemingly driving both too slow and too fast, weaving around potholes. We passed people walking calmly down the street, inured to the shells because they had no choice but to go about their lives.

Joe Manchin on Wednesday signaled that despite sabotaging his party’s Build Back Better bill, he is still open to passing a package that helps combat the climate emergency, lowers prescription drug prices, and reforms the tax code so rich individuals and corporations pay what he called “their fair share.” “If Sen. Manchin wants to raise taxes on wealthy Americans and corporations, then Democrats should take him up on that offer.” # ⚓ [Common Dreams] Opinion_|_Conflict_and_Climate_Change:_Is This_the_New_Normal?⠀⇛ The egregious situation that has been inflicted on the people of Ukraine by the kleptocratic egotist Vladimir Putin has provided yet another opportunity for humanity to change course. The man is funded by fossil fuel giant Gazprom, who provide 36% of his budget, and the world clearly needs to end its dependence on petro state authoritarians, including  Saudi Arabia, who are waging a war against Yemen with U.S. oil dollars and western weapons. Unfortunately, in reaction to the Ukraine situation, fossil fuel companies plan to expand production elsewhere to take up the slack from Gazprom when we all know that the answer is a rapid transition to renewables. # ⚓ [Counter Punch] Farmers_are_Overusing_Insecticide-Coated Seeds,_with_Mounting_Harmful_Effects_on_Nature⠀⇛ Almost every field corn seed planted this year in the United States will be coated with neonicotinoids, the most widely used class of insecticides in the world. So will seeds for about half of U.S. soybeans and nearly all cotton, along with other crops. By my estimate, based on acres planted in 2021, neonicotinoids will be deployed across at least 150 million acres of cropland – an area about the size of Texas. Neonicotinoids, among the most effective insecticides ever developed, are able to kill insects at concentrations that often are just a few parts per billion. That’s equivalent to a pinch of salt in 10 tons of potato chips. Compared with older classes of insecticides, they appear to be relatively less toxic to vertebrates, especially mammals. # ⚓ [TruthOut] Youth_Climate_Activists:_Our_Answer_to_War_Must Be_Radical_Exit_From_Fossil_Fuel⠀⇛ # ⚓ [Common Dreams] 175_Nations_to_Agree_on_‘Historic’_Plastic Pollution_Treaty⠀⇛ The vast majority of the world’s countries agreed Wednesday to forge a legally-binding global treaty restricting plastic pollution, in a move one official said demonstrated “multilateral cooperation at its best.” Negotiators representing 175 nations met over the past week in Nairobi, Kenya to discuss a joint proposal originally presented by Rwandan and Peruvian representatives. # ⚓ [Counter Punch] A_Sea_of_Trouble:_Seabed_Mining_and International_Arbitration_in_Mexico⠀⇛ # § Energy⠀➾ # ⚓ [Copenhagen Post] Nord_Stream_2_files_for bankruptcy⠀⇛ The Swiss-based company behind the 75 billion kroner Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline has filed for bankruptcy and fired all of its employees following western sanctions, according to Swiss radio broadcaster SRF.

Organized by United We Dream—the largest immigrant youth-led group in the country—activists at the rally drew attention to the president’s failed immigration policies and unveiled a banner acknowledging the over two million people who have been deported or expelled under the Biden administration. # ⚓ [Common Dreams] Tlaib_Says_Democrats_Must_Elect_‘Next Generation_of_Working_Class_Champions’⠀⇛ Responding to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address Tuesday night, Rep. Rashida Tlaib echoed the president’s own call for new investments in working families, emphasizing that the past year has shown Biden’s “visionary” economic agenda will only be realized if Democrats elect more lawmakers who will prioritize people over corporate profits. In his address to Congress, Biden did not mention the stalled Build Back Better Act by name but spoke about the need to cut child care costs for families and extend the expanded Child Tax Credit, pass paid family leave, allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices, and pass other provisions contained in the bill. # ⚓ [Counter Punch] We’re_Being_Fed_the_Same_Old_“Energy Independence”_Scam_Again⠀⇛ # ⚓ [Counter Punch] War,_Peace,_Space,_and_Time⠀⇛ But these people will be dead. And for no reason. Are the dead really the victors? In whose eyes? We aren’t God. Who could be impressed by Biden and Blinken predicting the war? Where was the effort to prevent it? While Russia is demonstrating imperialism isn’t uniquely American the unique American deceit that persists is that leadership comes with all the power and none of the responsibility. There are no victories in war. Only death and destruction. Anyone who sees the Ukrainians as all good and the Russians as all evil ignores that on both sides most people are coerced into risking their lives. All such conflicts come from disagreements between powerful people. # ⚓ [TruthOut] Rashida_Tlaib_Delivers_Progressive_Response_to Biden’s_State_of_the_Union⠀⇛ # ⚓ [Counter Punch] Fascism_is_a_Movement,_Not_Just_a_Man⠀⇛ The reasons for the ascent of this element in US politics are arguably many in number, but the essential element in virtually every explanation provided in DiMaggio’s study is white supremacy and the supremacists’ fear of losing it. Demographics make it clear that the United States will be a nation composed of people who do not consider themselves white in a few decades. To put it succinctly: this scares the hell out of many US citizens who do consider themselves white. This element of the population has always had a certain power in US politics. Indeed, it can be safely stated that it is that element that wrote some of the most recalcitrant parts of the US Constitution; recalcitrant because courts have upheld certain racist interpretations of US law more often than otherwise. The consequence of this is that in 2022 civil rights activists find themselves fighting to protect the right of every adult US citizen to vote. Yes, a battle that most citizens believed resolved fifty years ago is being fought once again, in large part because the Voting Rights Act that ended restrictions based on skin color and income in the 1960s was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2013. According to the court, it was no longer needed because people were no longer being prevented from voting based on those reasons. Of course, once the law was invalid, the successors of the white supremacists who passed the legislation struck down by the Voting Rights Act got back to work creating ways to prevent Black voters from voting. They know that curtailing voting rights is the only way they can stay in power and enforce their racist agenda. # ⚓ [Counter Punch] It’s_Kerouac_Time_Again:_Jack_Meets_Joe McCarthy⠀⇛ One essay that has never been published, not even in a volume titled The Unknown Kerouac is about the Army-McCarthy which were televised in 1954 and that held the nation’s rapt attention week after week. Kerouac watched the hearings, took notes and typed them up. They’re in the Kerouac collection at the New York Public Library on 42nd Street. I’ve read them and found them fascinating and troubling, too. Kerouac never met McCarthy face-to-face; their encounter was only “virtual,” though in 1954 the word wasn’t used as it is today. Kerouac’s notes on the Army-McCarthy show how challenging it is to pinpoint Kerouac politically. During his lifetime, he was all over the ideological map, attending communist party meetings in the 1940s and expressing a desire to join his Russian comrades and fight against fascism. “Had a little discussion with a few Reds,” he wrote in April 1941.The following year, he told a young woman, “I wish to take part in this war, not because I want to kill anyone, but for a reason directly opposed to killing—the Brotherhood. To be with my American brothers, for that matter, my Russian brothers.” Joe McCarthy would have called him a “fellow traveler,” a “pinko” and a “Commie symp.” # ⚓ [TruthOut] Biden’s_Immigration_“Fix”_Involves_Jailing Migrants_in_Their_Homes⠀⇛ # ⚓ [Common Dreams] ‘The_Fight_Goes_On’:_Cisneros_Supporters Prepare_for_Runoff⠀⇛ “It’s clear that voters are tired of corporate- backed politicians like Henry Cuellar who don’t work for them.” “We’ll be focused on talking to South Texas voters about how Jessica is going to fight for healthcare for all, create good-paying union jobs, and a humane immigration system.” # ⚓ [Common Dreams] Progressives_Urge_Biden_to_Use_Executive Power_to_‘Deliver_for_the_People’⠀⇛ Following President Joe Biden’s first State of the Union address on Tuesday night, a chorus of progressive lawmakers and advocacy groups—frustrated that Biden’s legislative agenda has ground to a halt thanks to opposition from the GOP and a handful of corporate Democrats—urged the White House to use its executive authority to the fullest possible extent to improve the lives of working people and secure a livable planet. “While we continue building support in Congress, President Biden can use his executive power to take action right now to deliver for the people.” # ⚓ [Common Dreams] Progressives_Applaud_as_Casar_Wins_Big, Cisneros_Forces_Runoff_With_Cuellar⠀⇛ Former Austin City Council member Greg Casar handily won the Democratic primary for an open seat in Texas’ 35th Congressional District on Tuesday while progressive immigration attorney Jessica Cisneros forced Rep. Henry Cuellar—a corporate- funded Democrat under FBI investigation—into a runoff contest in the state’s 28th district. “Our campaign has built a movement of working people, from San Antonio to Austin, who are ready to fight.” # ⚓ [TruthOut] Democratic_Socialist_Greg_Casar_Wins_Primary_in Progressive_Texas_District⠀⇛ # ⚓ [The Nation] Build_Back_Never⠀⇛ In 2021, when President Joe Biden delivered his first joint address to Congress, in-person attendance was drastically cut back, capping the number of attendees at 200. This year, Capitol Hill dropped its mask mandate ahead of the speech and invited all 535 members of Congress to attend the State of the Union address. But the changes didn’t make the scene feel any less strange. Lawmakers still couldn’t bring guests. Some announced “virtual” guests, who would watch the address from home while their hosts watched from the House chamber. # ⚓ [Counter Punch] Joe_Manchin’s_America:_the_Resurgence_of the_“Culture_of_Poverty”_Debate⠀⇛ Paired with Manchin’s moralizing and obstruction when it comes to President Biden’s Build Back Better Bill because he “cannot accept our economy, or basically our society, moving towards an entitlement mentality,” his new legislation is more evidence that he privileges rich donors over actual constituents in West Virginia and is truly willing to punish the poor. He’s claimed that families in his state would use money from the Child Tax Credit to buy drugs, that work requirements rather than more resources will lift poor kids out of poverty, and that, as the Huffington Post reported, “Americans would fraudulently use the proposed paid sick leave policy, specifically saying people would feign being sick and go on hunting trips.” All of this represents a painful return to the “culture of poverty” debates of the 1960s. Indeed, despite being discredited by scholars and poverty experts over and over since its invention, such anti-poor propaganda seems to rear its head whenever popular opinion and public action might actually lead to improvements in the lives of poor and low-income people. # ⚓ [The Nation] “Culture_of_Poverty”_Is_a_Made-Up_Concept⠀⇛ As if killing the Child Tax Credit, blocking voting rights, gutting key climate legislation, and refusing living wages wasn’t enough, West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin is now promoting legislation that further punishes the poor and marginalized. Along with Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio, he’s introduced the PIPES Act, which undercuts key harm-reduction funding from the Department of Health and Human Services. It arrives with a media campaign launched by Fox News and other conservative outlets pushing bogus claims that the Biden administration is using government funds to buy “crack pipes,” tapping into a decades- long campaign to scapegoat vulnerable populations rather than address the root causes of the unconscionable conditions under which they live. # ⚓ [The Nation] Black_Lily⠀⇛ # ⚓ [The Nation] Why_Gerrymandering_Keeps_Me_Up_at_Night⠀⇛ With the November midterm elections looming and the announcement of more and more Democrats’ deciding not to run for reelection, I have grave concerns about the balance of power in Congress and, quite frankly, our democracy. The Republican Party has steadfastly become the party of “no,” obstructing Democratic attempts at legislation in order to make Joe Biden a president with little to no victories, no matter how good they might have been for the American people, regardless of party affiliation. Even with the threat of a Republican-controlled Congress come this November, what keeps me up are the extreme gerrymandering efforts of Republican governors and state legislatures across the country. # ⚓ [The Nation] Banning_the_Hijab_Targets_Muslim_Women⠀⇛ The first time Nidha Parveen realized that her choice to wear the hijab could be a point of contention was when she moved to New Delhi to attend university. Having been brought up and schooled in the southern state of Kerala, where Muslims make up more than a quarter of the population, she was not used to being interrogated about her reasons for covering her head. “I could feel the othering on a day-to-day basis,” she tells The Nation. “In the beginning I used to answer the questions, but at a certain point I stopped, because I understood that they wanted me to say that it was a form of oppression.” # ⚓ [Pro Publica] Trump_Just_Endorsed_an_Oath_Keeper’s_Plan_to Seize_Control_of_the_Republican_Party⠀⇛ Former President Donald Trump has officially endorsed a plan, created by a man who has self- identified with the Oath Keeper militia, that aims to have Trump supporters consolidate control of the Republican Party. The plan, known as the “precinct strategy,” has been repeatedly promoted on Steve Bannon’s popular podcast. As ProPublica detailed last year, it has already inspired thousands of people to fill positions at the lowest rung of the party ladder. Though these positions are low-profile and often vacant, they hold critical powers: They help elect higher-ranking party officers, influence which candidates appear on the ballot, turn out voters on Election Day and even staff the polling precincts where people vote and the election boards that certify the results. # ⚓ [RTL] Georgia_to_apply_‘immediately’_for_EU_membership⠀⇛ Georgia will “immediately” apply for EU membership, the Black Sea nation’s ruling party said Wednesday, a day after the European Parliament backed war-torn Ukraine’s bid to apply for EU membership. The ruling Georgian Dream party chairman, Irakli Kobakhidze, announced the party’s “decision today to immediately apply for the EU membership”. # ⚓ [The Verge] Russia_holds_OneWeb_rocket_launch_hostage, issues_conditional_demands⠀⇛ In its latest response to international sanctions and growing geopolitical tensions, Russia’s state space corporation, Roscosmos, is making a list of demands of its customer OneWeb before it agrees to launch the company’s upcoming mission this week. OneWeb’s satellites were scheduled to take off on top of a Russian Soyuz rocket on March 5th in Kazakhstan, but in light of these new demands, it seems likely that launch will not take place. In a video posted to Twitter, the head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, outlined in an interview that he wants assurances from OneWeb that the company’s satellites will not be used for military purposes. Roscosmos also demanded that the British government, which is a primary shareholder in OneWeb, divest its stake in the company. If these demands aren’t met, Roscosmos says it will roll back the Soyuz rocket, and the launch won’t take place as planned. o § Misinformation/Disinformation⠀➾ # ⚓ [Techdirt] Russia_Follows_Up_Ukraine_Invasion_By_Demanding US_Social_Media_Companies_Stop_Fact-Checking_Russian Government_Content⠀⇛ Here comes The Motherland, insisting that no one allow anything to undermine its “LET’S INVADE UKRAINE” narrative. Russia, which has never taken a hands-off approach to content moderation, is demanding US companies stop fucking with its plans for world domination. Here’s Patrick Tucker with the details for Defense One. # ⚓ [The Economist] Ukraine’s_meme_war_with_Russia_is_no laughing_matter⠀⇛ Even before the outbreak of fighting Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, was one of the most followed heads of state. His 13.5m-strong (and rising) Instagram following is the fifth-biggest of any world leader (the top four are the heads of India, Indonesia, Brazil and America, countries with populations between five and 30 times as large as Ukraine’s). Mr Zelensky posts dozens of tweets most days, in Ukrainian and English, tagging other national leaders and getting retweets from their followers. Mr Zelensky, a former actor whose roles included an ordinary man who became president by accident, ran his election campaign almost entirely online in 2019, causing journalists to complain about his lack of availability for interviews. His rolling series of YouTube videos that treated the campaign like a reality-TV documentary left some wondering if he was ready for the job. In fact his honing of accessible, shareable clips has turned out to be an ideal preparation for what has followed. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ [Techdirt] Federal_Court_Rejects_Former_US_Ambassador’s Attempt_To_Sue_Google_Over_Things_Telegram_Users_May_Or_May Not_Have_Posted⠀⇛ People feeling ways about stuff continue to file stupid lawsuits against all and sundry because, well, we have a pretty open court system (which is good!) and not enough lawyers willing to tell people their stupid lawsuits are unwinnable (not great!). [For everything else, there’s pro se.] # ⚓ [Techdirt] John_Oliver_Explains_How_FOSTA_(And_Lots_Of Other_Policies_To_‘Help’_Sex_Work)_Has_Backfired_Badly⠀⇛ For not the first time, John Oliver is taking on topics we often cover at Techdirt, and doing a fantastic job of it. His latest show went deep on just how screwed up laws and law enforcement about sex work are, including a specific look at FOSTA. # ⚓ [Techdirt] DirecTV,_Roku_Give_RT_The_Boot⠀⇛ DirecTV has announced that the company will be removing Russian government-backed news outlet RT from the company’s satellite TV lineup in the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. According to a company statement, DirecTV was already contemplating ditching RT and other channels from the company’s lineup in a bid to lower costs, and simply expedited the decision. # ⚓ [The Telegraph UK] Ceramic_artist_Claudia_Clare_in_cancel culture_row_after_her_arts_college_talk_is_axed⠀⇛ The decision has sparked uproar with some 60 ceramic artists, potters and curators writing to the CPA demanding Ms Clare’s talk be reinstated and accusing it of “giving in” to threats. Now she plans to take legal action, claiming she has been discriminated against because of her gender-critical beliefs, which were found by a High Court judge last year to be protected by the 2010 Equality Act. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ [Counter Punch] The_Movements_for_Black_Electoral_Power_and Black_Economic_Power_Cannot_be_Separated⠀⇛ # ⚓ Her_Story_Brought_Down_Alaska’s_Attorney_General._A_Year Later,_She_Feels_Let_Down.⠀⇛ More than a year after the acting Alaska attorney general suddenly resigned, the criminal investigation into his alleged sexual contact with a teenager decades ago is not complete, and two special prosecutors hired to look into the case have billed for less than two weeks’ time. Nikki Dougherty White told the Anchorage Daily News and ProPublica in January 2021 that Ed Sniffen began an illegal sexual relationship with her in 1991 when she was a 17-year-old high school student and Sniffen was the coach of her school’s mock trial team. Sniffen was 27 years old at the time. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ [Techdirt] Very,_Very_Bad_Ideas:_Ukraine_Asks_ICANN_To Disconnect_Russia_From_The_Internet⠀⇛ Much of the world is, correctly, standing up against Russia following its despicable invasion of Ukraine as part of Vladimir Putin’s power-mad fever dream. And in response there are lots of questions about how different companies are looking to punish, sanction, or limit Russian access to goods and services. Some of the ideas make sense. Some of them don’t. And some of them are incredibly dangerous. In the extremely dangerous territory is Ukrainian officials reaching out to ICANN on Monday and asking it to disconnect Russia from the internet, revoking domains issued in Russia and shutting down DNS servers in Russia. # ⚓ [Techdirt] After_Going_Bankrupt_For_Underinvesting_In Fiber,_Frontier_Communications_Pretends_It_Has_Seen_The Light⠀⇛ We’ve long discussed how if you really want to understand how the highly monopolistic U.S. broadband industry really works, you should look at regional phone monopoly Frontier Communications. Especially in states like West Virginia, where the company has spent decades lagging on fundamental fiber upgrades, or DSL and phone repairs under a regime of regulatory capture that never holds them accountable for fiber under-investment, outright ripping off taxpayers, or failing to adhere to even basic quality standards. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ [Rolling Stone] It_Took_Him_15_Minutes_to_Make_a_Hit —_and_Seven_Months_to_Reclaim_It⠀⇛ What happened next has become increasingly common in the modern music industry. Moore uploaded the chorus on TikTok, where it started to attract interest, so he finished the song, titled it “Dash,” and put it on SoundCloud in August. Within two days, Moore says the track accumulated more than 50,000 plays, and labels started to call him. But as the rapper sped towards a professional music career, he was brought to a screeching halt. He didn’t own all the rights to the “Dash” beat — Moore had pulled it off the [Internet], recorded over it and released it without ever thinking it would reach a wide audience — so he could not officially release it. # ⚓ [Torrent Freak] Brazzers_Owner_Awarded_$36.5m_in ‘YesPornPlease’_Copyright_Lawsuit⠀⇛ In February 2020, MG Premium, part of the Mindgeek adult empire, sued unlicensed porn ‘tube’ site YesPornPlease and affiliate VShare.io. Both platforms soon went offline but after more than two years of legal proceedings, a court has now awarded MG Premium $36.5 million in copyright damages. It claimed to have lost more than $727 million. # ⚓ [Torrent Freak] Yout.com_Challenges_Site_Blocking_in Peru,_Strands_in_Spain⠀⇛ Popular stream-ripping site Yout.com continues to appeal various site blocking measures around the world. In Peru, the court agreed that ISPs are no longer required to block since the precautionary injunction expired. However, ISPs have yet to lift the blockade. Meanwhile, in Spain, the Supreme Court denied hearing Yout’s appeal. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 6507 ➮ Generation completed at 02:42, i.e. 75 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
