That’s just how Microsoft does ‘business’… Don’t expect any investigation. The EPO operates outside the legal system. We gave many examples of that back in the Benoît_Battistelli days; each time we exposed a big Microsoft scandal at the EPO we received legal threats, indicating we had touched a very sensitive spot. Microsoft not only lobbies for European_software_patents; it’s also spying on everyone, including every patent application/applicant. This is illegal, but the EPO does not follow the law. It routinely violates the law. The above video shows how the EPO arrogantly assumes everybody uses Windows and then discusses this_new_PR_stunt (warning: epo.org link), a fake “meeting”. They’re engaged in repressive measures against Africans, pretending to enjoy a partnership while denying access to medicines and vaccines (all because of profit). As the talk of Panos Alevropoulos put_it: “software patents [...] are legal instruments designed to curtail the freedom of developers for the sake of multinational companies’ interests.” That’s not limited to software. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 219 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2022/03/31/epo-cheating-and-bribing-media/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/03/31/epo-cheating-and-bribing-media/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 03.31.22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ [Meme]_Best_in_the_World._At_Cheating_and_Bribing_Media.⠀✐ Posted in Deception, Europe, Patents at 8:51 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Oh, April fools;

I discuss this letter in the video above, but the gist of it is, Campinos has a chance to demonstrate his allegedly brilliant negotiation skills. Of course it’s probable he won’t be willing to have a meeting (or online ‘meeting’). Or if he does, nothing will come out of it, i.e. the usual. Time will tell and maybe his father Jorge will be watching from up above or from below the ground. António_has_utterly_disgraced_Jorge's_legacy. He views staff as mere “human resources”, not as human beings. Here’s the full letter. 30 March 2022 su22018cl – 0.3.1 – 0.3.2 Antonio Campinos PRESIDENT European Patent Office copy to: Oliver Dreute, Chief of Staff Central Executive Committee SUEPO Invitation to negotiate on the Industrial Actions Dear Mr Campinos, On 22 March 2022, EPO staff was on strike following the centrally approved SUEPO action plan. Actions will continue in the next weeks, until our legitimate claims are addressed and satisfactory solutions are found.. During the meeting of 18 March 2022, your delegation came empty- handed and no concrete proposals on any the four topics at the root of the industrial actions are on the table yet. Therefore, we invite you to an urgent meeting on 1 April, 5 April or 6 April with the aim to explore ways out of the current social unrest with the delivery of positive outcomes to our legitimate claims. We are convinced that compromises can be envisaged to find such solutions. Sincerely yours, █████████████████ Acting Chair Central Executive Committee SUEPO It’ll probably take less than a week before we know the outcome. Of course none of the media — not even blogs — will bother mentioning there. It's_like_they live_in_another_planet. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 393 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2022/03/31/gnu-as-a-movement/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/03/31/gnu-as-a-movement/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 03.31.22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Blair_Vidakovich_on_GNU_as_a_Movement⠀✐ Posted in Free/Libre_Software, GNU/Linux at 6:25 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link https://media.libreplanet.org/mgoblin_media/media_entries/2607/saturn-sunday- 1025.webm Summary: This talk was uploaded two_days_ago. “Blair is a community organizer and software freedom advocate from Perth, Western Australia.

As_Twitter_Activity_Decreases_(Twitter_Channels_the_Remaining_Traffic_Into Fewer_Accounts_for_‘Engagement”),_Notifications_Transition_Into_ICYMI_Mode_ (SPAM)⠀✐ Posted in Deception at 6:55 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Summary: When I left Twitter a month ago (account still online, but it’ll never be active again) it felt like the platform had become a provocation machine, prioritising emotional reaction (e.g. clickbait) instead of substance one actually subscribed for (“followed”); it has gotten even worse since The number of active users in social control media (even Free/decentralised/ federated) is decreasing and the quality of such sites goes down the drain; they provoke_or_mess_with_emotions_for_more_activity. The other day, or the last/latest time I checked Twitter for notifications, I highlighted_something_that_was_likely_new, unless it just “kicks in” for user retention purposes (panic mode; Facebook has its own notorious ways with emotional blackmail and time-delayed account closure). Today I see almost half a dozen in a row: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Twitter ICYMI⦈ Believe it or not, this is my notifications bar; these aren’t even accounts that I follow It’s bad enough that Twitter ‘curates’ (stuffs) into timelines things that I didn’t ask for and had nothing to do with me. Now it does the same to notifications. It’s basically becoming a noise machine, rapidly turning into a form of advertising, not a tool of communication. It’s part of_a_broader_trend, which I think should compel more people to leave for good. It’s becoming more about indoctrination/propaganda than anything else. █ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It would be unfair to list one over the others, but there is enough information in this article to give your search a kick-start. I compare Linux to a golf club you can use for many different shots, depending on where you sit on the course. It may be a good thing to start sooner than later putting Linux into your bag. o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ BSD_Now_448:_Controlling_Resource_Limits⠀⇛ Controlling Resource Limits with rctl in FreeBSD, It’s always DNS, Google Summer of Code in BSD Projects, Rsync Technical Notes – Q4 2021, Userland CPU frequency scheduling for OpenBSD, and more. # ⚓ FLOSS_Weekly_674:_Janus_WebRTC_–_Lorenzo_Miniero,_Meetcho⠀⇛ Lorenzo Miniero of Meetecho and the author of the Janus open source WebRTC server, joins Doc Searls and Jonathan Bennett for an informative conversation regarding live streaming and broadcasting, new and better ways to bring in network devices, OBS, virtual and hybrid events, WHIP, the open source future of real time communication, and much more. # ⚓ The_Linux_Link_Tech_Show_Episode_949⠀⇛ Joel is ready to blast off on a new adventure o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ MakeTech Easier ☛ How_to_Use_Password_Store_to_Manage_Your Passwords_in_Linux_–_Make_Tech_Easier⠀⇛ Password Store is a simple UNIX program that uses the GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) and Git to secure and manage passwords for your Linux system. It is simple, lightweight and fast. However, this simplicity means that accessing Password Store’s database to fetch your passwords can be a bit of a pain. However, if you are using Emacs, there is a way to seamlessly automate this process for you. To help with that, password-store is also an Emacs package that serves as a front end to the Password Store program. Similar to its back end, password- store is simple and light. More importantly, you can easily extend its features by using a number of plugins done by its community. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Host Support ☛ How_to_Install_Ntopng_on_Debian_11_| LinuxHostSupport⠀⇛ In this blog post, we are going to install Ntopng on Debian 11 OS and explain in step-by-step detail the installation process. Ntopng is a web-based application for tracking the network traffic on your server. It is free and open-source and supports different operating systems like Linux, Windows MacOS and etc. Ntopng is a very useful monitoring tool that shows, multiple graphs in the GUI such as network usage, analytical data, bandwidth utilization, apps and etc. Also, Ntopng analyzes the traffic and sorts it by source/destination. Installing Ntopng on Debian 11, is a very easy and straightforward process in just a few steps. Let’s get to work! # ⚓ UNIX Cop ☛ How_to_install_Adminer_on_Rocky_Linux_8_/_Alma Linux_8_–_Unix_/_Linux_the_admins_Tutorials⠀⇛ In this post, you will learn how to install Adminer on Rocky Linux 8 / Alma Linux8. Adminer is a basic MariaDB, SQLite, and PostgreSQL client that allows us to do operations on databases created with some of these engines. It is effortless to use and as light as a single PHP file. We can use it to quickly visualize data and although it doesn’t have great features, it can still help us in a pinch. As it is made in PHP, it is necessary to have a web server and install the language. In addition to this, you have to install a supported database manager. Let’s install it because it is easy and useful. # ⚓ ByteXD ☛ How_To_Install_and_Setup_ADB_Tools_on_Linux_– ByteXD⠀⇛ If you have used an Android phone for some time, you will notice that there are certain features and capabilities that you cannot access or perform. These include sideloading apps, taking screenshots in applications that forbid that (e.g. Telegram has such a feature), installing custom ROMs, removing unnecessary Google or manufacturer apps, creating frequent backups, etc. Fortunately, there is a way that you can bypass all that and do anything you wish to do with your phone using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). This post will guide you on Installing ADB and Fastboot Android Drivers on Linux. # ⚓ Install_and_Setup_Rsyslog_Server_on_Ubuntu_22.04_– kifarunix.com⠀⇛ In this tutorial, you will learn how to install and setup rsyslog server on Ubuntu 22.04. Rsyslog is a multi-threaded implementation of syslogd (a system utility providing support for message logging), with features that include… # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Enable_Compression_with_Redis⠀⇛ Remote Dictionary Server, or Redis for short, is a lightning-fast in-memory database that stores values in key-value pairs. It is mainly used as a caching mechanism for databases such as SQL and Document databases. Since Redis is an in-memory database, the space used is critical and needs to be heavily monitored. One strategy to improve and optimize memory performance for Redis is to use compression. By default, Redis does not provide compression for any data stored. Hence, compression techniques are implemented on the application. Let us discuss a few techniques you can use to optimize memory performance in Redis. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ How_to_get_started_with_scripting_in Python_|_Enable_Sysadmin⠀⇛ Learn to use functions, classes, loops, and more in your Python scripts to simplify common sysadmin tasks. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ How_to_get_started_with_Red_Hat_Advanced Cluster_Security_for_Kubernetes_|_Enable_Sysadmin⠀⇛ RHACS monitors runtime data on containers to help you uncover potential vulnerabilities during product testing. # ⚓ Linux Shell Tips ☛ How_to_Install_MariaDB_Server_in_Rocky Linux⠀⇛ The name MariaDB needs no introduction as its track record on numerous web-based and desktop-based projects speak for itself. The maturity in MariaDB’s performance delivery also makes it an ideal candidate for data analytics due to its columnar database solution. Therefore, if you are aiming for large-scale real-time analytics, MariaDB has your back. Rocky Linux being a Red Hat Enterprise downstream as a result of it being Centos’ fork makes it an ideal server environment to run web-based projects that require the reputation of MariaDB database management prowess. # ⚓ Linux Shell Tips ☛ How_to_Increase_VM_Virtual_Disk_Space_on VirtualBox⠀⇛ VirtualBox makes it possible for Linux users to explore the horizons of what all the Linux operating system distributions and their associated software have to offer. The use and exploration of VirtualBox to run and test the performance of other operating system architecture and distributions build the confidence index of a user that wants to take/put that particular operating system into a production environment. # ⚓ Its FOSS ☛ How_to_Add_Accent_Colors_in_Ubuntu_22.04⠀⇛ Traditionally, Ubuntu has always used orange and aubergine accent colors. If you want to add a different color theme without changing the Yaru theme, the option is provided with a third party theme called Yaru colors. But this is changing with Ubuntu 22.04. Starting with the new upcoming LTS, you’ll be able to change the accent color of your Ubuntu desktop without any additional tool. The option is available right in the system settings. # ⚓ HowTo Forge ☛ How_to_Install_Laravel_PHP_Framework_with Nginx_and_Free_Let’s_Encrypt_SSL_on_AlmaLinux_8⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_to_install_Deepin_desktop_on_Manjaro_Linux_|_FOSS Linux⠀⇛ Manjaro is a Linux-based distro in three different versions of desktop environments, namely KDE Plasma, XFCE and GNOME. But since it’s Linux-based, you can also get any other desktop supported by Linux and add it to your Manjaro installation. This opens the door to various options like Deepin, Budgie, Cinnamon, LXQT, LXDE, etc. One of these additional options that can be experienced on Manjaro is the Deepin desktop. It provides a great desktop experience for new and old Linux users alike. Deepin is loaded with features that make it stand out from the other options. It comes with many applications and an amazingly intuitive UI experience that has made it one of the most popular GUIs on Linux in recent times. # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ How_to_install_Roblox_PC_version_and Roblox_Studio_on_a_Chromebook⠀⇛ Today we are looking at how to install Roblox PC version and Roblox Studio 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. # ⚓ How_to_install_additional_spell_check_dictionaries_for Flatpak_apps⠀⇛ Flatpak apps run inside a separate and isolated environment from your main system. This environment separation is what helps make apps portable between different Linux distributions. However, it also changes the approach required to complete tasks like installing multiple spell checker dictionaries for bilingual users. By default, Flatpak downloads app-specific locale data (including translation files, locale and format settings, and dictionaries) for each app matching your system locale. However, Bilingual users likely want to install more than one dictionary for their spellchecker. On Linux, you usually achieve this by installing additional dictionaries through Linux your distribution’s package repository. System dictionaries aren’t accessible to Flatpak apps inside their isolated Flatpak runtimes. You could tweak overrides for individual Flatpak apps to grant them access to the system dictionaries. However, there’s a better solution. # ⚓ HowTo Forge ☛ How_to_Install_Netdata_with_Nginx_on_Alma Linux_8⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_to_Fix_Horizontal_Green/Blue_Lines_on_Youtube_in_Chrome or_Chromium_on_Linux_with_Intel_Graphics_Drivers⠀⇛ # ⚓ HowTo Forge ☛ How_to_Create_a_Static_Website_Using_Amazon S3⠀⇛ # ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_LXDE_Desktop_on_Ubuntu_20.04_LTS_– idroot⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install LXDE Desktop on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. For those of you who didn’t know, LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) is a lightweight desktop environment that is designed to be fast and easy to use. With LXDE, users can have the best of both worlds i.e. latest software upgrades without having to compromise with systems’ performance. 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 LXDE (lightweight X11 desktop environment) 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. # ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_gThumb_on_Ubuntu_20.04_LTS_– idroot⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install gThumb on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. For those of you who didn’t know, gThumb is an image viewer and browser for the GNOME Desktop. gThumb provides many useful features, such as filesystem browsing, slide show, image catalogs, web album creation, camera import, image CD burning, batch file operations, and much more. 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.

You can follow the same instructions for Ubuntu 18.04, 16.04, and any other Debian-based distribution like Linux Mint. # ⚓ Linux Cloud VPS ☛ How_to_Install_Cachet_Status_Page_System on_Ubuntu_20.04_|_LinuxCloudVPS_Blog⠀⇛ In this blog post, we are going to explain how to install Cachet Status Page System on Ubuntu 20.04 OS. Cachet is an open-source status page system that allows us to track the downtime of our system outages. Cachet is written in PHP and can be installed very easily on every Linux system. In the next paragraphs, we will install Cachet with LAMP stack and the Composer as an application-level package manager for PHP. Installing Cachet on Ubuntu 20.04 should take up to 15 minutes. Let’s get started. # ⚓ How_to_Install_and_Configure_LibreNMS_on_Ubuntu_20.04_– RoseHosting⠀⇛ LibreNMS is a free and open-source network monitoring system built in PHP and MySQL which uses the SNMP protocol. It is a community-based fork of the Observium network monitoring tool. This tool is also a user-friendly monitoring system, it is easy to understand and use. It uses MySQL as its database backend and uses SNMP to discover remote clients. It supports a wide range of network hardware and operating systems including, FreeBSD, Cisco, Linux, HP, etc. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install and configure LibreNMS on Ubuntu 20.04. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ The_Stanley_Parable:_Ultra_Deluxe_launches April_27_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Quite a long time after originally planned, The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe is now confirmed to launch on April 27. The developer says it’s an “expanded re-imagining” of the original from 2013, which was a surprisingly amusing first-person exploration game. All of the original content is here but there’s a big expansion with new content to explore, new choices and new secrets. It’s also gone through a visual overhaul, added accessibility features, localization of in-game text and content warnings. Plus, the fab voice work of Kevan Brighting returns. # ⚓ Boiling Steam ☛ XOW_Xbox_One_Controller_Driver:_Solving_the High_CPU_Usage_Issue⠀⇛ Not too long ago I explained why the Xbox One gamepad is one of the greatest gamepads available right now – and I alluded to the fact that it works very nicely with the xow driver when using the USB dongle to connect to the gamepad (which has less latency compared to using the Bluetooth mode). # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Steam_Deck_gets_a_big_Client_update,_plus Deck_OS_and_BIOS_BETA_update_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Two big updates arrived for the Steam Deck last night, so let’s go over all that’s changed as it’s quite exciting. Firstly, the main Steam Deck Client update brings some really nice goodies. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Unity_games_crashing_with_Proton_on_Linux or_Steam_Deck?_Check_your_USB_devices⠀⇛ Curiously, it seems Proton 7 and Proton Experimental are having problems with Unity games recently but there’s a possible temporary workaround for you. This is the same across Linux desktop and Steam Deck, as it’s a problem somewhere with Proton. Recently, while trying to capture footage from the Steam Deck for the GamingOnLinux YouTube channel I came up against a problem. Certain Unity games wouldn’t load, and instead would present me with a Unity error screen with a loading bar and then just quit. There was a bug report open from others also seeing a similar issue. Proton 6.3-8 would work but for some games, that had other issues that Proton 7 solved. o § Distributions⠀➾ # § G/Parted⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ GParted_1.4_released_•_The Register⠀⇛ GNOME Partition Editor version 1.4 was released this week by lead maintainer Curtis Gedak. GParted is a graphical dynamic partition management tool for Linux. In other words, it does useful things like non-destructively expand or shrink disk partitions while they contain data. It’s not unfair to describe it as a FOSS recreation of the late lamented PartitionMagic. It is a Gtk-based graphical wrapper around the GNU parted libraries, which do the critical filesystem-resizing part. GParted not only puts a pretty graphical face on the parted command-line tools, but it adds worthwhile functionality of its own, too: creating both MBR and GPT partition tables and partitions, moving partitions, copying partitions (both on a single physical drive, and from drive to drive). # ⚓ GNU ☛ GNU_Parted_–_News:_parted-3.4.64_released_ [alpha]_[Savannah]⠀⇛ Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]: http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted- 3.4.64.tar.xz http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/parted/parted- 3.4.64.tar.xz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html Here are the SHA256 checksums: parted-3.4.64.tar.xz = 00b686e9cb536a14b5a2831077903fb573f0e7d644d1ba8bbb1b255b767560af parted-3.4.64.tar.xz.sig = b309bcb6630d004e76452e2dcaf71e0f84d41f19abe7564a39f14d55bc9d9ee9 [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify parted-3.4.64.tar.xz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, or that public key has expired, try the following commands to update or refresh it, and then rerun the 'gpg -- verify' command. # § Screenshots/Screencasts⠀➾ # ⚓ Video ☛ Fedora_36_Beta_Run_Through_–_Invidious⠀⇛ In this video, we are looking at Fedora 36 Beta. # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ Fedora_36_Beta⠀⇛ Today we are looking at Fedora 36 Beta. It comes with Gnome 42, Linux kernel 5.17, and uses about 1.4 GB of ram when idling. # § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Ubuntu_Users_Get_Small_Linux_Kernel Security_Update_with_Only_Two_Flaws_Patched⠀⇛ The new Linux kernel update comes just a few days after the previous Ubuntu major update one and only patches two flaws, namely CVE- 2022-1055, a use-after-free vulnerability discovered in the network traffic control implementation, and CVE-2022-27666, a security issue discovered in the IPsec implementation that could lead to a heap- based buffer overflow. Both of these flaws could allow a local attacker to crash the vulnerable system by causing a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ The_Telco_Podcast_|_Ubuntu⠀⇛ We are heavily involved in the telecom ecosystem, working up the stack with silicon vendors, SDK providers, network function creators, service providers and UE/CPE manufacturers. This gives us a lot of exposure on what’s goin on in the industry and we decided to share that insights. That’s why we are announcing a start of The Telco Podcast, which you can find on https:// anchor.fm/thetelcopodcast and on your favorite platforms like Spotify or Apple Podcasts. # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ LXD_vs_Docker_|_Ubuntu⠀⇛ When talking about containers, a common confusion for potential users of LXD is that LXD is an alternative to Docker or Kubernetes. However, LXD and Docker are not competing container technologies, and they tend to serve completely different purposes. In this blog, we’ll briefly discuss the differences and the suitable use cases for both. # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Getting_started_with_Juju_and_Charmed Operators:_three_awesome_videos_|_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Getting started with software can be confusing – depending on the complexity of the software, of course. Despite the extensive documentation available for Charmed Operator SDK and Juju some just prefer to watch video material to start with. So, let’s take the opportunity to have a look at available tutorials and presentations available on the Internet. # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ The_Keys_to_Successful_Bug_Reporting_| Ubuntu⠀⇛ A key principle of open source computing is the ability for users to directly engage with development efforts, the primary avenue being through the use of bug reporting. Bug reports are a critical component to the success of open source projects world-wide, though how to write one successfully can be, admittedly, somewhat vague. In this article, we interviewed Ubuntu extraordinaire, Sebastien Bacher, and with his insights we will explore many of the “do’s” and “don’ts” in writing concise and effective bug reports on Launchpad. Now, what separates a poor bug report from a great one may seem at first obvious, but it’s important to remember that not everyone has experience in this regard, and even for those that do, there is nuance to effective technical communication. It’s important to remember that there is a human being on the receiving end of every bug report, and oftentimes the difference between a fixed bug and one that sits idle comes down to how you communicate your issue. The developer reading your report needs to: 1) understand your issue thoroughly, 2) ideally be able to reproduce your issue, and 3) be able to communicate with you about any further steps needed to test and/or resolve the issue at hand. o § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ # § Web Browsers⠀➾ # ⚓ Daniel Stenberg ☛ Talked_curl_on_software_engineering radio_|_daniel.haxx.se⠀⇛ What it’s been like to look after the curl project for the past 25 years. We talked about the history of cURL, libcurl, whether C was the right choice, portability, some key events in those 25 years, implementing protocols, why HTTP is not so simple, rust libs, the Polhem Prize, security issues, feature requests, random support requests, code on Mars, Apple OS adoption, cars stuck in production lines, Android OS, 8 week release cycles, release cycle joy, breakdown of bug types, 1000 committers, 250 command line options, user bases, determination, json, libSSH2, c-ares, HTTPbis, HTTP/2, QUIC, Mozilla, OpenSSL, wolfSSL, DNS, FTP, the cURL book, testing, CI/CD, favorite command line options that you might not know about, and making sure that you don’t give up on that idea or project you are working on. # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Performance_Tool_in_Firefox_DevTools Reloaded_–_Mozilla_Hacks_–_the_Web_developer_blog⠀⇛ In Firefox 98, we’re shipping a new version of the existing Performance panel. This panel is now based on the Firefox profiler tool that can be used to capture a performance profile for a web page, inspect visualized performance data and analyze it to identify slow areas. The icing on the cake of this already extremely powerful tool is that you can upload collected profile data with a single click and share the resulting link with your teammates (or anyone really). This makes it easier to collaborate on performance issues, especially in a distributed work environment. # ⚓ This_Week_In_Rust:_This_Week_in_Rust_436⠀⇛ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ The_7_Best_Browsers_for_Old_and_Low-End Computers⠀⇛ Modern web browsers offer exceptional performance, are more reliable, and offer tons of customization options. However, all this comes at the cost of system performance. While not an issue with modern systems, modern browsers like Firefox, Chrome and Edge may not support or work smoothly on legacy hardware. If you can live without all the bells and whistles of new-age browsers, there are many great bare-bones web browsers to consider. Here we show you the best lightweight web browsers to help you browse the web smoothly on your older hardware. # § FSF⠀➾ # ⚓ LibrePlanet_2022_Opening_Remarks⠀⇛ To start the LibrePlanet 2022 conference off, campaigns manager, Greg Farough, gave opening remarks, introduced the day’s events and other activities outside of the main conference, and asked participants to report which countries they were attending from. # ⚓ Sunday_Welcome_Address⠀⇛ At the beginning of the 2022 LibrePlanet conference on its second day, outreach and communications coordinator, Devin Ulibarri, gave opening remarks, and introduced the day’s events, in addition to mentioning measures taken by the FSF tech team to resolve Saturday’s technical difficulties, which included an added audio-only stream for users with low bandwidth and improvements made to how the “low-res” stream is generated. # ⚓ FSF_Award_ceremony_&_Saturday_Closing_notes⠀⇛ The Free Software Foundation (FSF) announced the recipients of the 2021 Free Software Awards, which are given annually at the FSF’s LibrePlanet conference to groups and individuals in the free software community who have made significant contributions to the cause for software freedom. This year’s recipients of the awards are Paul Eggert, Protesilaos Stavrou, and SecuRepairs. As the ceremony was conducted virtually this year, each winner selected the person they wished to present them the award. # § GNU Projects⠀➾ # ⚓ GNU ☛ GNU_poke_2.3_released_[Savannah]⠀⇛ I am not that happy to announce a new release of GNU poke, version 2.3. This fixes a little bug in diagnostics that broke the 32-bit testsuite, making 2.2 the shortest lived poke release to date. See the file NEWS in the distribution tarball for a list of issues fixed in this release. The tarball poke-2.3.tar.gz is now available at https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/poke/poke- 2.3.tar.gz. GNU poke (http://www.jemarch.net/poke) is an interactive, extensible editor for binary data. Not limited to editing basic entities such as bits and bytes, it provides a full- fledged procedural, interactive programming language designed to describe data structures and to operate on them. Happy poking! # ⚓ GNU_poke,_the_free_extensible_editor_for structured_binary_data⠀⇛ This talk is titled “GNU poke, the free extensible editor for structured binary data,” and was presented at LibrePlanet 2022 by José Marchesi. José is a GNU hacker and maintainer. He is currently employed by Oracle as the Tech Lead of their toolchain/compilers team. This talk is about GNU poke, which is an interactive editor for binary data. Not limited to editing basic entities such as bits and bytes, it provides a full-fledged procedural, interactive programming language designed to describe data structures and to operate on them. José will discuss these features and more. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ A_Visit_to_Uni⠀⇛ Over lunch I toured the campus, which has grown quite a bit even since my time there. Class is in session, so all the buildings were open. I hadn’t stepped foot in many of them in seven years. The experience was very odd. Several memories came back to me, some of which I hadn’t thought about since the start of my undergraduate education over a decade ago. A lot of them were very pleasant memories. But as the day progressed, more and more memories came back, and an increasing number of them were memories I realized I hadn’t thought about for a reason. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ What’s_That_AccessUSB_Menu_In_My_LG_SmartTV?⠀⇛ One boring evening, [XenRE] was looking through service menus on their LG Smart TV (Russian, Google Translate), such menus accessible through use of undocumented IR remote codes. In other words, a fairly regular evening. They noticed an “Access USB Status” entry and thought the “Access USB” part looked peculiar. A few service manuals hinted that there’s a service mode you could access with an adapter made out of two back-to-back PL2303 USB- UART adapters – a few female-female jumper wires later, serial prompt greeted our hacker, and entering ‘debug’ into the prompt responded with some text, among it, “Access USB is NOT opened!!!”. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Solar_Harvesting_Is_Better_With_Big_Capacitors⠀⇛ The sun is a great source of energy, delivering in the realm of 1000 watts per square meter on a nice clear day. [Jasper Sikken] has developed many projects that take advantage of this power over the years, and has just completed his latest solar harvesting module for powering microcontroller projects. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ #FreeDMO_Gets_Rid_Of_DYMO_Label_Printer_DRM⠀⇛ DYMO 550 series printer marketing blurb says “The DYMO® LabelWriter® 550 Turbo label printer comes with unique Automatic Label Recognition™”, which, once translated from marketing-ese, means “this printer has DRM in its goshdarn thermal stickers”. Yes, DRM in the stickers that you typically buy in generic rolls. [FREEPDK] didn’t like that, either, and documents a #FreeDMO device to rid us of yet another consumer freedom limitation, the true hacker way. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_New_Wrinkle_On_Wooden_Ribbon_Microphones⠀⇛ Not too many people build their own microphones, and those who do usually build them out of materials like plastic and metal. [Frank Olson] not only loves to make microphones, but he’s also got a thing about making them from wood, with some pretty stunning results. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Visit_The_World’s_Largest_Computer_Museum:_The Heinz_Nixdorf⠀⇛ Most stories in the history of computing took place in one of a small number of places. The wartime code-breaking effort in Bletchley Park led to Colossus, the first programmable electronic computer. Various university campuses in Britain and the US were home to first-generation computers like ENIAC, EDVAC and the Manchester Baby in the late 1940s. Silicon Valley then stole the limelight with the home computer revolution in the 1970s. Naturally, all of these places have their museums celebrating their local achievements, but the world’s largest computer museum is not found in Silicon Valley or on the campus of a famous university. Instead, you have to travel to a small German town called Paderborn, which houses the Heinz Nixdorf Museumsforum, or HNF. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Fancy_Wire_Loop_Game_Is_A_Beauty_In_Brass⠀⇛ The simple wire-loop game is often built as a fun project to teach students about electronics. [W&M Levsha] built their own version, showing off their fine crafting and machining skills and branding it as a sobriety test with the playful name “Breathalyzer.” # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Replaceable_Batteries_Are_Coming_Back_To_Phones If_The_EU_Gets_Its_Way⠀⇛ Back in the day, just about everything that used a battery had a hatch or a hutch that you could open to pull it out and replace it if need be. Whether it was a radio, a cordless phone, or a cellphone, it was a cinch to swap out a battery. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Funds_for_COVID_Testing,_Treatment,_Vaccines_Are Evaporating._Congress_Must_Act.⠀⇛ # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ She’s_Supposed_to_Protect_Americans_From Toxic_Chemicals._First,_She_Just_Has_to_Fix_Trump’s_Mess_and Decades_of_Neglect.⠀⇛ A few days after the inauguration of President Joe Biden, Michal Freedhoff settled into her cramped home office in a suburb of Washington, D.C., to get to work as the nation’s new top chemical regulator. It was a key role, charged with protecting Americans from toxic substances used in agriculture and manufacturing. But going back decades, the office had gained a reputation for being captured by the companies it regulated. Under the Trump administration, the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention, like many federal agencies, had taken a hard turn away from science. Important new rules, years in the making, had been delayed or diluted. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_It’s_Farmworker_Awareness_Week. Here’s_What_Those_Who_Feed_Us_Deserve.⠀⇛ Few workers play a more intimate role in our lives than the farmworkers who plant, pick, package, and ship the food we put on our tables. But unfortunately, few are more vulnerable. o § Integrity/Availability⠀➾ # § Proprietary⠀➾ # § Pseudo-Open Source⠀➾ # § Privatisation/Privateering⠀➾ # § Linux Foundation⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Foundation’s Site/Blog ☛ Secure_software_supply_chains:_good practices,_at_scale [Ed: It says “secure software supply chain breaches like Solar Winds [3], Kaseya [4],” but that’s Windows and proprietary software]⠀⇛ The genesis for the content in this article is work done to implement secure supply chain patterns and practices for a Contino customer. The core goals for the effort were; implement a pipeline agnostic solution that ensures the security of the pipelines and enables secure delivery for the enterprise. We’ll talk a little about why we chose the tools we did in each section and how they supported the end goal. # ⚓ Time ☛ This_Tech_Leader_is Harnessing_Collective_Action_to_Green the_Grid [Ed: The term "Linux" is been bent or diluted for greenwashing PR]⠀⇛ Shuli Goodman talks a lot about building the next generation of clean energy, but she doesn’t just mean erecting fields of solar panels and wind turbines. As the director of Linux Foundation Energy (LF Energy), launched by the nonprofit Linux Foundation in 2018, she’s interested in another kind of infrastructure that she says will be essential to moving the world’s grids away from fossil fuels and cutting carbon dioxide emissions: open-source software. # § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Project Censored ☛ School-Issued Technology_Poses_Surveillance_Risks_for Students_–_Validated_Independent_News⠀⇛ Student surveillance by school- issued tech devices is “taking place – at taxpayer expense – in cities and school communities throughout the United States,” Kshetri reported. Eighty percent of teachers and 77 percent of high school students “reported that their schools had installed artificial intelligence-based surveillance software on these devices to monitor students’ online activities and what is stored in the computer,” he noted. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Two_Orthodox_Christian_Countries_at_War:_A Brief_History_of_the_Orthodox_Church⠀⇛ Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople, a leading authority of the Eastern Orthodox Church, quickly condemned the “unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.” By contrast, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, has supported the war, which he claimed in a sermon was a struggle to defend “human civilization” against the “sin” of “gay-pride parades.” # ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘Anybody_would_be_scared’_Russian_state_news_aired a_refugee’s_testimony_about_‘atrocities’_committed_by Ukraine’s_Azov_battalion._The_video_came_from_the_FSB.⠀⇛ A video making the rounds on Russian state media of a refugee from Mariupol recounting the alleged “crimes” of soldiers from Ukraine’s ultranationalist Azov regiment was distributed by the FSB’s Public Relations Center. This was reported to Mediazona by two sources who received the press release. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Everything_we_know_about_the_alleged_poisoning_on March_3_According_to_Bellingcat,_the_BBC,_and_the_Wall_Street Journal,_Roman_Abramovich_and_two_other_negotiators_suffered symptoms_that_point_to_chemical_attacks.⠀⇛ Three people who took part in talks between Russia and Ukraine early this month experienced symptoms consistent with those of chemical weapons poisoning, reported Bellingcat on March 28. According to the investigative outlet, one of the people affected was businessman Roman Abramovich. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘Putin_already_captured_the_Russians_and_the Belarusians._I_hope_he_doesn’t_capture_the_Ukrainians.’ Thousands_of_Belarusians_moved_to_Ukraine_after_the_2020 protests._Now,_many_are_being_forced_to_move_again.⠀⇛ After the 2020 protests in Belarus, hundreds of thousands of people fled the country. Some moved to Europe, but many chose Ukraine as their new democratic home. Now, with war on their doorstep, they’re being forced to choose between hiding, fighting against Russia, and fleeing even further into Europe. They told their stories to Meduza. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ After_Horrific_Bombardment_for_Weeks, Moscow_Announces_Mariupol_Cease-Fire_to_Evacuate_Civilians⠀⇛ Russian officials on Wednesday said they would implement a cease-fire and open a humanitarian corridor out of the embattled Ukrainian city of Mariupol, where thousands of civilians have reportedly been killed over the past five weeks of relentless attacks. The Russian Defense Ministry said that a humanitarian corridor from Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia via the Russian-controlled port of Berdiansk would be open Thursday at 10:00 am local time, Al Jazeera reports. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Russia_Conducting_‘Witch_Hunt’_Against_War Critics,_Says_Amnesty⠀⇛ The human rights group Amnesty International warned Wednesday that the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin has launched a “witch hunt” against critics of Moscow’s deadly assault on Ukraine, hitting anti-war protesters with criminal charges over peaceful demonstrations and prosecuting activists for condemning the invasion on social media. “These shameful prosecutions are flagrant violations of the right to freedom of expression.” # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ US_Congress_and_the_Armed_Conflict_in Ethiopia⠀⇛ The unfolding Russian assault on Ukraine is pushing other global conflicts into the shadows, but the latter keep festering nonetheless. Some of these will also have important geostrategic consequences. One of them is the still ongoing armed conflict in Ethiopia, initiated by the TPLF (Tigray Peoples Liberation Movement) with a massive and unprovoked attack (in the night of 3-4 November 2020) and kept alive by it. The USA has not played an enlightening role in the conflict, primarily blaming the federal government for the violence. Politically, the US efforts over the past 1,5 year were even marked by undue interference and sanctimoniousness. US policy circles have not shown honest understanding of the war, of its context, and of the means to help end it. The State Department as well as USAID (which is self-admittedly an arm of US foreign policy) have rarely sided with Ethiopian government efforts to bring this conflict to an end and seem to have condoned the TPLF – incorrectly equating it with the Tigrayan people. But the US Congress has not stayed far behind. The latest gaffe about to be produced by the USA is discussion and voting on the HR6600 Bill, proposed in Congress on 4 February 2022 by a Democratic Party representative (T. Malinowski, of New Jersey) and a Republican Party representative (Ms. Young Kim, of California). It is up for consideration in Congress tomorrow. The initiative is surrealistically called the ‘Stabilization, Peace, and Democracy’ bill. In practice, it will produce more of the opposite: destabilization, hindering peace, and undermining democracy in Ethiopia. Here is why. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Vladimir_Putin_Made_a_Terrible_Mistake,_and His_Concessions_on_Ukraine_are_a_Sign_of_His_Weakened Position⠀⇛ This is being done “to create the necessary conditions for future negotiations” according to Alexander Fomin, Russia’s deputy defence minister attending the peace talks in Istanbul. An agreement looks like a possibility for the first time since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February. Fomin said the withdrawal was taking place because Ukraine has agreed to neutrality and a non-nuclear status. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Make_Peace,_Not_War,_in_Ukraine⠀⇛ The Ukraine War is best interpreted as a two-level war. In the active combat zones of Ukraine, it is a devastating war between Russia and Ukraine producing an increasingly severe humanitarian crisis that includes massive civilian displacement refugee flows and internal movements away from embattled cities and throughout the country. This primary war phenomenon interacts with an ongoing secondary proxy war pitting Russia against the United States, with Russia trying to impose its will on Ukraine and the U.S. pursuing several geopolitical objectives. These include revitalizing and strengthening NATO and mobilizing unity in Europe by inflaming anti-Russian sentiments, which as during the Cold War rested on fear and loathing of Russia, then the Soviet Union. There is no military engagement at this point in the proxy war, although its indirect confrontations are at risk of escalating dangerously, even putting inhibitions on nuclear threats and risks to their greatest test since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Perhaps, It should be appreciated that the fog of war is denser in the secret sessions of proxy war advisors and leaders than even what is hovering over the Ukrainian battlefields. Strategic objectives in this two-level war are confusing, being neither coherent nor consistent, and because there are no current images of death and destruction, the very real negative effects of the proxy war tend to be ignored, such as prolonging the killing, delaying a ceasefire. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_UK’s_Photo-Op_Response_to_the_Ukraine Crisis⠀⇛ A possible trap, because £1.9m/$2.5m has been given to the Tory party by Kremlin oligarchs since BoJo came to power. London/”Londongrad” property markets and banks are flush with Russian money, while BoJo has turned a blind eye during this time. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Afghanistan_Facing_‘Total_Collapse’_as Biden_Refuses_to_Release_Central_Bank_Assets⠀⇛ An international aid group warned Wednesday that Afghanistan is on the brink of complete collapse as the Biden administration and European governments refuse to release the war-torn nation’s central bank reserves, depriving the economy of critical funds as millions face poverty and starvation. In a statement ahead of an international donor conference for Afghanistan, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) said the country “is now the world’s largest-ever humanitarian appeal, requiring a staggering US$4.47 billion in humanitarian aid—quadruple the needs at the start of 2021 and more than is required for either Syria or Yemen.” # ⚓ The Gray Zone ☛ US_veteran_who_volunteered_to_fight_for Ukraine_describes_‘suicide_mission’⠀⇛ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ ‘A_Failure’:_Critics_Rebuke_Biden_for Nuclear_Posture_Review_Update⠀⇛ Nonproliferation advocates on Wednesday expressed disappointment after the Biden administration released a summary of its latest Nuclear Posture Review, which fails to depart from decades of dangerous U.S. first use policy. “We live in a new era and sticking to the status quo is not going to make us safer. We have to get rid of nuclear weapons.” # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ ‘A_Living_Nightmare’:_UN_Says_Russia_Used Cluster_Bombs_in_Ukraine_At_Least_24_Times⠀⇛ The United Nations asserted Wednesday that Russian forces have used cluster munitions to bomb areas populated by civilians at least two dozen times since invading Ukraine on February 24—attacks which may constitute war crimes, according to international human rights experts. “For more than one month now, the entire population of Ukraine has been enduring a living nightmare,” said U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet. “The lives of millions of people are in upheaval as they are forced to flee their homes or hide in basements and bomb shelters as their cities are pummeled and destroyed.” # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Why_Spill_Any_Blood?⠀⇛ As for subsequent wars started by Washington, I supported the FMLN in El Salvador and the Sandinista in Nicaragua. Like the Vietnamese freedom fighters, their struggle was a defensive struggle that was a direct response to the murderous nature of the governments they opposed. Naturally, these governments were supported and maintained by Washington. Although my ideal approach to overthrowing such governments would be nonviolent, it was apparent that nonviolence in any of those wars would have only given the oppressive regimes an easier path to the killing fields they seemed intent on creating. Here’s a little story that I hope helps explain that previous paragraph. In 1981 I was arrested and detained along with a couple of thousand other people during a protest against the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant in Avila, California. The detention center was an unused army camp near San Luis Obispo and was a fairly relaxed affair for a jail. There were no bars and we were free to walk around in certain areas of the camp during the day. Roll call was taken once in the morning. The detainees included a few popular figures—Jackson Browne, Wavy Gravy, Robert Blake, and Reverend Cecil Williams, to name just a few. Jackson Browne and Wavy Gravy organized a talent show while they were being held that featured Browne singing and playing a guitar lent to him by one of the California National Guard called up to guard the detention center. Robert Blake didn’t stay long. Reverend Williams spent his time in detention conversing with anyone who approached him. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Death_Spiral_of_Globalization⠀⇛ There’s no doubt that the war in Ukraine is an unmitigated tragedy — not just the horrific loss of lives and destruction of entire cities, but the return of a land war in Europe where, after thousands of years of wars, there was hope the world had seen the last of senseless invasions and the needless slaughter of innocents. Fink posits that the Ukraine war will be the final straw that breaks the back of globalization due to the economic sanctions that have resulted in Russia’s isolation from the global marketplace. In turn, he says the resulting breakdown in global supply chains from the war, as well as the global pandemic, will “prompt companies and governments worldwide to reevaluate their dependencies and reanalyze their manufacturing and assembly footprints.” # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ America’s_No-Fly_Zone⠀⇛ This informational No-Fly Zone is now being tested by what The Empire calls the “war” in Ukraine.  Its efficacy is proved by the “news” on all mainstream media.  No independent thought, no factual information, no honest relation of events, and above all, no unbiased, sound analysis of the actual motivation of this “war” is allowed or even admitted to exist.  The Empire’s fairy stories, absurd and poisonous, are the only stories Americans—rendered appallingly stupid and bovine or, at minimum, childishly gullible and amoral—are fed and, predictably, they have wholeheartedly embraced them.  A mental No-Fly Zone is impermeable; reality cannot penetrate it.  It has to be truth-proof in order to protect the wholly bogus, dimwitted self-justification underneath it. In the Ukraine fable, it began its function by denying malevolent expansion of the NATO contraption to Russia’s borders, when the U.S. had solemnly promised not to do that.  NA, after all, stands for North Atlantic.  Did it anyway.  Then, when Putin—our eternal Beelzebub—told the U.S. that the deceitful NATO push to its borders, and its arming Nazi Azov Battalion and Right Sektor attacks on Lugansk and Donetsk was not acceptable, and asked for mutual understanding to provide security guarantees for all parties, he was dissed and insulted by our vacuous imbeciles. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Gunmen_Kill_19_at_Mexican_Cockfighting Party⠀⇛ So long as millions and millions of working Mexicans continue to live under the tyranny of seven to ten dollars a day, which is Mexico’s “legal” minimum wage, a number of them will keep on taking a chance on crime. Working people in Mexico have families to feed but often can’t do that fully. We’re talking about the basic necessities of food, medicine, housing, and school for their kids. But they all have smart phones or know someone who does, so they’re well aware they’re getting screwed and they’re angry. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Biden_Won’t_Release_Afghanistan’s_Central_Bank Assets,_Even_in_Face_of_Collapse⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ With_All_Eyes_on_Ukraine,_the_Fight_Against Climate_Change_Is_Falling_Behind⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Noam_Chomsky:_Russia’s_War_Against_Ukraine_Has Accelerated_the_Doomsday_Clock⠀⇛ # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ Is_a_Peace_Deal_Near?_Ukraine_Won’t_Join NATO_in_Return_for_Russian_Withdrawal,_Security_Guarantees⠀⇛ The United Nations says more than 4 million refugees have now fled Ukraine as Russia’s invasion nears its sixth week. Russia announced plans Tuesday to “fundamentally” cut back military operations near Kyiv and the city of Chernihiv, but Ukrainian officials say Russian forces continue to carry out strikes in or near both cities. Meanwhile, the outlines of a possible peace deal have emerged in talks between the two sides, with Ukraine offering to become a neutral country and remain nuclear-free in exchange for security guarantees. But Ukrainian officials stress a deal can only be reached once Russia withdraws its forces from the country. For more, we go to Kyiv to speak with Peter Zalmayev, director of the Eurasia Democracy Initiative, who says Ukrainians remain “very skeptical” of the Russian president’s intentions. “Ukrainians are very much ready to negotiate, but the question is if Vladimir Putin continues to cling to his obsession to try to control all of Ukraine and control its politics and to install a puppet regime.” o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Despite_Net-Zero_Promises,_Big_Banks_Are_Dumping Trillions_Into_Fossil_Fuels⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Destruction_of_Amazon_Rainforest_Accelerates_as Elections_Loom_in_Brazil⠀⇛ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Scientists_to_Biden:_World_Needs_‘Rapid Transition_From_Fossil_Fuels_to_Renewable_Energy’⠀⇛ “In this moment of climate emergency,” five scientists began a new open letter to U.S. President Joe Biden, “we write with utmost urgency to advise you and your administration to halt recent moves towards increasing fossil fuel production and instead take bold action to rapidly reduce fossil fuel extraction and infrastructure.” “The president’s fossil fuel expansion takes us deeper into climate catastrophe.” # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Transition_to_Zero-Emission_Vehicles_Would Deliver_$1.2_Trillion_in_Public_Health_Benefits:_Report⠀⇛ A new report details how a nationwide transition to a zero-emission transportation sector and renewable electricity generation would bring $1.2 trillion in public health benefits to the United States over the next three decades. “The shift to zero-emission transportation and electricity generation will save lives and generate massive health benefits across the United States.” # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Facebook’s_Boosting_of_Climate_Lies_Pushes ‘Skeptics’_Toward_Denial:_Report⠀⇛ Despite pledging to fight climate disinformation, Facebook’s algorithm continues to amplify deceptive and misleading content—pushing users who express doubts about anthropogenic climate change toward outright denial, according to a new report released this week by Global Witness. “Our investigation shows how worryingly easy it is for its users to be led down a dangerous path that flies in the face of both science and reality.” # § Energy⠀➾ # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Coal_Trains_and_Climate_Protest:_It’s Spring_in_New_England⠀⇛ The coal trains are rolling through New England again. You can see them as you stand on a street corner in Worcester, Mass., or any number of towns along their route, headed to the last coal-fired power plant in the region—Merrimack Station, on the banks of the Merrimack River in Bow, N.H. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_Big_Oil_Should_Pay_Windfall Tax_to_Offset_Pain_at_the_Pump⠀⇛ There’s one group of people who aren’t worried about high gas prices this month: Big Oil executives. # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Green_Groups_Decry_US_Energy_Panel’s Reversal_on_Gas_Pipeline_Climate_Reviews⠀⇛ By Jessica Corbett, Common Dreams. Originally published on Common Dreams. U.S. climate activists were outraged after a federal regulatory agency on Thursday, March 24 walked back plans to consider the planet- heating emissions and environmental justice impacts when weighing whether to approve new fossil fuel infrastructure. # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Anti-Net_Zero_MP_Backs_‘Laughable’_Report Urging_Renewables_be_‘Wound_Down’⠀⇛ A Conservative MP leading a backbench revolt against UK climate policy has endorsed a report calling for renewable energy to be “wound down” completely.  South Thanet MP Craig Mackinlay, who chairs the Net Zero Scrutiny Group (NZSG) in parliament, is quoted in the press release for the report Taking Back Control: Addressing Britain’s Energy Crisis, which was released over the weekend and covered in the Telegraph newspaper.  # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ The Revelator ☛ Hope_for_Coral_Reefs⠀⇛ o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_Truck_Drivers_Are_Grossly Underpaid_and_Work_Under_Immoral_Corporate_Bosses⠀⇛ The recent traffic-clogging protests in Canada, Washington, D.C., Europe and elsewhere by long- and short-haul truck drivers were about them being angry over having to comply with COVID-19 vaccine mandates—right? # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Airport_Workers_Protest_Across_US_Demanding ‘Living_Wage’_and_Right_to_Union⠀⇛ Contracted airport workers—including baggage handlers, cabin cleaners, security officers, and wheelchair agents—in more than 20 U.S. cities staged coordinated demonstrations Wednesday to call for higher wages, better benefits, and the right to unionize. “As an immigrant who spent 10 years in refugee camps, I’ve faced plenty of hardship in my life, but none as great as the last two years.” # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ ‘Healthcare_Is_a_Human_Right’:_Sanders Announces_Medicare_for_All_Senate_Hearing⠀⇛ Just a day after a panel in the U.S. House of Representatives met to discuss universal healthcare legislation, Senate Budget Committee Chair Bernie Sanders announced that he plans to hold a Medicare for All hearing this May. “The momentum to guarantee healthcare as a human right is real here in Congress.” # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Despite_‘Splashy’_Net-Zero_Vows,_Big_Banks Dumping_Trillions_Into_Fossil_Fuels⠀⇛ Flouting their public vows to put themselves and their clients on a path to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, the world’s 60 largest private banks have provided a total of $4.6 trillion in financing for the fossil fuel industry since the Paris Agreement entered into force in 2016. That’s according to the latest edition of Banking on Climate Chaos, an annual report that tracks the banking industry’s funding of oil and gas initiatives that are threatening global hopes of reining in carbon pollution and averting climate disaster. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_Mega-Billionaires_and_the_Gushing Upward_Redistribution_of_Wealth⠀⇛ The word “billionaire” didn’t even exist until 1844. Fifty years later, we got “multibillionaire.” And for the next 127 years, that was enough.  # ⚓ The Nation ☛ How_the_Student_Debt_Crisis_Hurts_Women⠀⇛ Today, women hold over two-thirds of America’s trillion-dollar student debt. Each holds, on average, $31,000 in student debt before their career even begins, and because of the persistent gender wage pay gap, it takes years longer for women to pay their debt back. All of these obstacles are growing at a time when women, for the first time, seek higher-level degrees more often than men. Despite hard-work and aspirations, it is fundamentally harder for women borrowers to afford their monthly payments and rise above this debt, no matter how educated or experienced they are.  # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Texas_Gov’t_Threw_Millions_At_‘Border Enforcement.’_Stats_Show_It_Was_A_Waste_Of_Money.⠀⇛ Never mind the economy. The real inflation is coming from government agencies seeking to justify their waste of taxpayers’ money. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Venomous_Trial_of_Judge_Jackson⠀⇛ These senators shamed their Senate Judiciary Committee and themselves during hearings to determine Jackson’s credentials to replace Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court. She had been vetted by the panel three times for previous judicial positions, the last time about a year ago when she was nominated for the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C. Yet they repeatedly badgered Jackson and bore down on her inappropriately unmercifully, bullied her, paying little heed to her position as an appellate judge with a golden reputation and the first Black to be nominated to the high court. She deserved far more respect. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Rights_Groups_Herald_Reported_End_to_Cruel Title_42_Expulsions⠀⇛ Human rights defenders on Wednesday welcomed the White House’s reported plans to soon end the use of Title 42, a public health measure both the Biden and Trump administrations used to turn away asylum- seekers at the southern border for the past two years. “The decision is an overdue recognition that all people fleeing violence and persecution have the right to seek protection.” # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_Enough._It_Is_Time_for_Merrick Garland_to_Act_on_Trump’s_Coup_Plot⠀⇛ I know you’ve heard this before—that accountability is coming for Donald Trump and his cronies for triggering the Jan. 6th insurrection—but this time, something new and different has happened. On March 28, Federal District Court Judge David O. Carter ruled that Trump and former Chapman University law professor John Eastman “more likely than not” committed two felonies in their efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election: obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress, and conspiracy to defraud the United States.  # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_A_Five-Alarm_Emergency_for_Voting Rights_and_Democracy⠀⇛ “Voter suppression” is a divisive and highly politicized term. But for the slate of bills Republicans are pushing across the country, it’s the only correct one. # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ South_Korea’s_New_Foreign_Policy_of_One_Yes and_Two_Nos⠀⇛ But perhaps the greatest impact the new conservative administration will have is in the arena of foreign policy. The quickest way of summarizing the likely approach of the incoming government is “two Nos and one Yes.” Yoon will be saying “no” to both North Korea and China while embracing the United States with a big “yes.” At a deeper level, Yoon will be steering South Korea away from an effort to balance major powers in the Asia-Pacific region and toward greater alignment with U.S. foreign policy. The Biden administration is looking forward to greater coordination between South Korea and Japan in countering North Korea and containing China. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Facebook_Hiring_of_GOP_Firm_Seen_as_Proof of_Growing_Ties_to_‘Republican_Political_Machine’⠀⇛ The new revelation Wednesday that Facebook hired one of the largest Republican consulting firms in the United States to carry out a public attack campaign against rival platform TikTok was seen as further evidence of the social media behemoth’s growing alliance with the GOP political apparatus. “This story tends to indicate that Facebook is just part of the Republican political machine now.” # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Why_Keep_Politics_Out_of_the_Oscars?⠀⇛ God must be a screenwriter. Who else might have scripted the most compelling Oscar drama in years? Delivering “the slap heard ’round the world” if not the Oscar Night universe, Will Smith redeemed himself and embarrassed everyone else, not least the presumed injured party—his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith—when on live television he stormed the proscenium to physically assault a nonplussed Chris Rock for making a lame schoolyard joke. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ The_Oscars:_Awkward_Spectacle⠀⇛ At first, the slap seemed like a mildly hokey pre- staged bit. After all, it followed a mildly hokey joke involving Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett, who has partial hair loss due to alopecia, and Ridley Scott’s 1997 film G.I. Jane, which starred Demi Moore who sported a buzz cut. (Incidentally, that was the second mildly hokey joke at Scott’s expense of the evening.) But when the US broadcast picture froze and the sound cut out the post-slap, it soon became clear that it wasn’t a gag. International broadcasts aired the incident uncensored, which immediately cleared things up for people watching at home. Recovering from the slap, Chris Rock tried to laugh it off by remarking, “Will Smith smacked the shit out of me.” Smith bellowed, “Keep my wife’s name out of your fuckin’ mouth,” at which point the Academy audience realized the severity of the situation. Rock, sheepish and in shock, agreed but also noted: “It was a G.I. Jane joke.” To his credit, this is technically true. # ⚓ Hungary ☛ The_blaming_game_in_the_Hungarian_campaign:_who’s “working_for_the_Russians”,_and_who_“for_the_Ukrainians”⠀⇛ # ⚓ Hungary ☛ Putin’s_hackers_gained_full_access_to_Hungary’s foreign_ministry_networks,_the_Orbán_government_has_been unable_to_stop_them⠀⇛ # ⚓ Hungary ☛ The_war_in_Ukraine_drives_a_wedge_between_Poland and_Hungary⠀⇛ While Poland vehemently supports Ukraine’s bid to join NATO, Hungary is interested in Ukraine being a broad buffer zone between it and Russia. The Russian question has long been a political taboo in Hungarian-Polish relations. Translation by Charles Hebbert # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ The_Money_Trail_to_the_Ginni_Thomas_Emails to_Overturn_Biden’s_Election_Leads_to_Charles_Koch⠀⇛ A total of 29 emails were obtained by Woodward and Costa, with the bulk of the emails occurring in just the month of November 2020, raising questions as to how many more emails are still out there from Thomas to the White House from December 1, 2020 through January 20, 2021 when Biden was sworn in. Much of the current news debate around the emails is focusing on whether Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from cases involving groups with which his wife is involved and whether the Select Committee should subpoena Ginni Thomas to testify. While those are certainly important issues, what has thus far been ignored is the smoking gun trail that leads directly to the doorstep of billionaire and right-wing Republican political mastermind, Charles Koch, the Chairman, CEO (and majority owner with the heirs of his deceased brother David) of the fossil fuels conglomerate Koch Industries. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Ocasio-Cortez_Calls_for_Clarence_Thomas_to Resign_Over_Wife’s_Ties_to_January_6⠀⇛ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Opinion_|_Ginni_Thomas’s_Texts:_A_‘Coup_in Search_of_a_Legal_Theory’_and_Judicial_Malfeasance⠀⇛ U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has written that he and his wife, Virginia (“Ginni”), are “one being—an amalgam.” Repeatedly, he has called her his “best friend.” Immediately after President Donald Trump lost the November 2020 election, Ginni Thomas joined the effort to overturn it. Since then, her husband has been hearing cases arising from the January 6 insurrection. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Why_Moderating_Content_Actually_Does_More_To Support_The_Principles_Of_Free_Speech⠀⇛ Obviously over the past few years there’s been all of these debates about the content moderation practices of various websites. We’ve written about it a ton, including in our Content Moderation Case Study series (currently on hiatus, but hopefully back soon). The goal of that series was to demonstrate that content moderation is rarely (if ever) about “censoring” speech, and almost always about dealing with extremely challenging decisions that any website has to deal with if they host content from users. Some of that involves legal requirements, some of it involves trying to keep a community focused, some of it involves dealing with spam, and some of it involves just crazy difficult decisions about what kind of community you want. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ 121_Million_Unintended_Pregnancies_Per_Year Reveals_‘Global_Failure’_on_Women’s_Rights:_Report⠀⇛ The United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency on Wednesday said global policymakers have utterly failed to uphold women’s rights as it reported that despite the wide availability of contraception in wealthy countries, nearly half of all pregnancies around the world—121 million per year—are unintended. “Nothing is more fundamental to bodily autonomy than the ability to decide whether or not to become pregnant,” said the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA) in its new report, titled Seeing the Unseen. “Yet for too many, the most life-altering reproductive choice is no choice at all.” # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ US_Plans_to_Arrest_Migrants_at_Southern_Border as_It_Welcomes_Ukrainian_Refugees⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Portland_Soccer_Feels_the_Power_of_Protest⠀⇛ An eerie silence descended upon the stadium as the Portland Timbers’ Major League Soccer match against the visiting Orlando City SC got underway last Sunday. Normally, the Timbers feature what is arguably the most rambunctious supporters’ group in the league: the Timbers Army. But as chants broke out from the north end of the stadium, members of Timbers Army waved their arms to silence them. This conspicuous quiet was part of a planned protest: five minutes of silence to spotlight the pattern of abuse—from allegations of domestic violence to sexual coercion—that the club’s front office has overlooked and allegedly even attempted to cover up. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ In_Every_Corner_of_Palestine,_There_Is_a_Story of_Dispossession⠀⇛ Today is Land Day in Palestine—a day that commemorates the moment 46 years ago when Israeli forces shot and killed six Palestinians with Israeli citizenship who dared to protest the Israeli regime’s confiscation of tens of thousands of dunams of Palestinian land. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Civil_Rights_Faces⠀⇛ # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ How_Europe’s_Anti-Migrant_Policies_Gave Rise_to_“Absolutely_Horrific”_Refugee_Prisons_in_Libya⠀⇛ Western countries have opened their doors to millions of Ukrainians fleeing the war in their homeland, presenting a model of how refugees should be welcomed. But their experience stands in stark contrast to how African refugees are treated when attempting to reach Europe to escape war, hunger and despair. In her new book, “My Fourth Time, We Drowned: Seeking Refuge on the World’s Deadliest Migration Route,” author Sally Hayden details how a single message from an Eritrean refugee held in a Libyan detention center led her on a years-long journey to document the human rights disaster on Europe’s doorstep. She says that since a 2017 European Union agreement with Libya to stop migrants before they cross the Mediterranean, many refugees have been imprisoned in hellish detention centers run by armed groups with little care for the safety or well-being of the people inside. “Tens of thousands of people have been locked up in detention centers that Pope Francis, among many others, have compared to concentration camps,” says Hayden. “The situation is absolutely horrific.” # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ U.S._Prepares_to_Arrest_Surge_of_Migrants at_Southern_Border_as_It_Welcomes_100,000_Ukrainian Refugees⠀⇛ As the U.S. says it will welcome up to 100,000 Ukrainian refugees fleeing the Russian invasion, immigration officials say they’re preparing for a surge of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border as it ends the Trump-era pandemic restriction Title 42 in response to humanitarian outcry. We speak with Guerline Jozef of the Haitian Bridge Alliance about how Haitian refugees are treated, and with award- winning journalist Maria Hinojosa about the Haitians she met in a migrant caravan. Jozef says President Biden’s pledge to welcome Ukrainian refugees, while necessary, is a painful display of the double standard faced by Haitian immigrants and other people of color seeking humanitarian relief in the United States. “Why is it that when it comes to people of color, Black and Brown people, we must continue to push and beg to validate our humanity?” asks Jozef. Hinojosa has been reporting on migration for her podcast series “The Moving Border” and says the Biden administration is “appeasing” anti-immigrant forces in the U.S. by continuing rejections, deportations and detentions at the southern border. “What we are seeing is … white supremacy in the context of refugees and desperate people,” says Hinojosa. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Cops_Are_Being_‘Trained’_To_Use_Literal Witchcraft_To_Find_Dead_Bodies⠀⇛ We [waves flattened palm parallel to the floor in circular motion meant to demonstrate the encompassing nature of the rest of this sentence] the People of this United States have seen some shit.

Tele-connectivity mediates, electronically facilitates, nearly every aspect of contemporary communications — whether private, education, business, health or government; whether voice, internet, social media or streaming; whether online retail, distant learning or Zoom meeting; and whatever the content, be it the latest news headline, a presidential address, a promotional offering, a dating service listing or a porn flick.  And telecommunications make nearly every place and person on the globe nearly instantaneously accessible. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ LiquidVPN_Ordered_to_Pay_Filmmakers $14m_in_Copyright_Damages⠀⇛ A group of filmmakers has won over $14 million in damages from VPN provider LiquidVPN. The default judgment finds the company guilty of copyright infringement and DMCA violations, in part by promoting the Popcorn Time app. The order also awards $250,000 in trademark damages in favor of 42 Ventures, which owns the Popcorn Time trademark. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ TV_Boss_Threatens_Mastercard_&_Visa Over_Support_For_Pirate_Sites⠀⇛ When his new legal streaming service launched in 2021, producer and cinema investor Moshe Edery asked consumers to “leave the pirates and come to the Zionists.” When millions didn’t, Edery hatched plans to take down a number of pirate sites, including the most popular in Israel. In a warning to Mastercard, Visa and American Express, Edery says he will come for them too, if they don’t withdraw their support for piracy. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Publishers_Seem_To_Believe_Their_Outsized Sense_Of_Entitlement_Should_Trump_Democracy⠀⇛ One of the striking features of the copyright industry is its insatiability. No matter how long, broad and strong copyright becomes, the copyright world wants it to be yet longer, broader and stronger. It seems companies simply cannot conceive of any point where there is “enough” copyright in the world. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Bungie_Sues_Does_Over_‘Destiny’_DMCA Takedowns,_Slams_YouTube’s_DMCA_Process⠀⇛ In our somewhat limited discussions about video game publisher Bungie, our remarks about the company certainly haven’t always been positive. And perhaps that colored my thinking when I recently wrote about a DMCA takedown blitz occurring among the Destiny community, with all kinds of uploads from fans being on the receiving end of takedowns on YouTube. But Bungie insisted it wasn’t them, a claim bolstered by the fact that some of Bungie’s own official videos on its channel also got hit with takedowns. Still, the statement from the company about all of this left some room for interpretation, with Bungie indicating that these takedowns weren’t happening at “the request” of Bungie, leading plenty of folks to assume this was an automated copyright enforcement bot or a 3rd party enforcement agency going rogue. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3262 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 03.31.22⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Links_31/03/2022:_MirageOS_4.0_and_Shotcut_22.03.30⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 12:28 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Distributions o Devices/Embedded * Free_Software/Open_Source * Leftovers * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Server⠀➾ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ How_to_Turn_Your_Old_Laptop_Into_a_Plex_Media Server⠀⇛ Smart TVs are smart enough to stream 4K movies and TV shows from Over the Top or OTT platforms. However, if you have high-quality 4K ripped movies or TV shows you want to watch, it may not play. Even if it manages to play, you might have issues with the audio. We used an 8-year-old retired laptop that was lying around with a 100Mbps LAN port and converted it to a media server. And guess what, the 4K movies played flawlessly with surround sound audio on a TV over a Wi-Fi network. Here’s how you can achieve the same results by installing Plex Media Server on your old laptop or PC. o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ Video ☛ Can_This_Non-Developer_Create_His_Own_GTK_App?_ (Haskell_&_Python)_–_Invidious⠀⇛ About a month ago, I suddenly had the urge to learn how to create my own GTK application. In a community poll, I asked my viewers if I should do this using Haskell, and a large portion of the community wanted me to do it in Python instead. So ultimately, I decided to do it both ways–once in Haskell, and then again in Python. # ⚓ Video ☛ Linux_Gaming_Is_More_Complex_Than_Valve_Thought_– Invidious⠀⇛ Considering the pace Valve has been pushing out Steam Deck Verified games anyone looking at this situation can see that something is going to go wrong and Valve is looking for your feedback to identify incorrectly verified games # ⚓ Video ☛ Intel_Arc_Dedicated_GPUs_and_Linux:_Everything_You Need_To_Know!_–_Invidious⠀⇛ I break down the most interesting features of Intel Arc dedicated graphics on laptops, and tackle some questions about Linux compatibility. # ⚓ Video ☛ Tech_skill_planning_for_the_greedy_and_lazy_– Invidious⠀⇛ # ⚓ Video ☛ KDE_neon_20220210_Quick_overview_#Shorts_– Invidious⠀⇛ A Quick overview of KDE neon 20220210. # ⚓ Jupiter Broadcasting ☛ Revolution_in_Review_|_Coder_Radio 459⠀⇛ We just watched Revolution OS before the show, so we reflect on the audacity of their vision and the new revolution we see brewing. o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ MirageOS_Announces_Latest_Release_v4.0,_dedicated_to_Lars Kurth_–_Xen_Project⠀⇛ The MirageOS Core Team is thrilled to announce the release of MirageOS 4.0. MirageOS is a library operating system that constructs unikernels for secure, high-performance, low-energy footprint applications across various hypervisor and embedded platforms. Since the first release of 2013, MirageOS has made steady progress towards deploying self-managed internet infrastructure. The project’s initial aim was to self-host as many services as possible to empower internet users to securely deploy infrastructure to own their data and take back control of their privacy. MirageOS can securely deploy static website hosting with “Let’s Encrypt” certificate provisioning and a secure SMTP stack with security extensions. MirageOS can also deploy decentralized communication infrastructure like Matrix, OpenVPN servers, and TLS tunnels to ensure data privacy or DNS(SEC) servers for better authentication. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ New_Linux_kernel_patch_speeds_up_server shutdowns_•_The_Register⠀⇛ A new Linux kernel patch from a Google engineer resolves a problem caused by a condition that many of us might quite like to experience – having too many NVMe drives. The problem is caused by the relatively long time it takes to properly shut down a drive: apparently, as much as four-and-a-half seconds. Remember Sun’s X4500 storage server, originally codenamed Thumper? It was truly radical when it appeared: a 3U dual-processor server, but with a stonking 48 drive bays. These days Google has a bunch of boxes with a still-fairly-impressive 16 NVMe drives attached to each one. And when they have to reboot, they take a long time. If you have a storage server with 16 drives, that’s 72 seconds of wasted time hanging around every time it reboots. Hardly an eon, but still annoying – because it’s totally unnecessary. # ⚓ Linux Journal ☛ What’s_KernelCare?⠀⇛  This article explains all that you need to know about KernelCare. But before studying about KernelCare, let’s do a quick recap of the Linux kernel. It’ll help you understand KernelCare better. The Linux kernel is the core part of Linux OS. It resides in memory and prompts the CPU what to do. Now let’s begin with today’s topic which is KernelCare. And if you’re a system administrator this article is going to present valuable information for you. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Shotcut_Video_Editor_Gets_Multi-Threading_for All_Implicit_Video_Scaling_and_Some_Video_Filters⠀⇛  Now backed by the latest and greatest FFmpeg 5.0 open-source multimedia framework, Shotcut 22.03.30 adds multi-threading support for all implicit video scaling, as well as for various video filters, including Blur: Box, Blur: Gaussian, Color Grading, Invert Colors, Mask: From File, Old Film: Grain, Old Film: Scratches, Old Film: Technocolor, Reflect, Sepia, Sketch, Spot Remover, Threshold, Vignette, and Wave. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Klara ☛ Learn_about_the_difference_between_enabling compression_and_the_power_of_tuning_it⠀⇛ While basic advice for compression is simple—enable it!—recordsize is a more challenging topic.

If you want to add a different color theme without changing the Yaru theme, the option is provided with a third party theme called Yaru colors. But this is changing with Ubuntu 22.04. Starting with the new upcoming LTS, you’ll be able to change the accent color of your Ubuntu desktop without any additional tool. # ⚓ LateWeb ☛ Easy_Way_To_Install_SciTE_on_Ubuntu_21.04_LTS⠀⇛ SciTE is an easy-to-use text editor that has many features for programming.

For those of you who didn’t know, FlareGet is a popular open-source download manager and accelerator for Linux systems. It has some great features such as browser integration, threading, etc. 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 FlareGet Download Manager 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. # ⚓ ASCII_art_of_yourself⠀⇛ # ⚓ Print_sensors_data_for_your_hardware_Using_cat,_column, paste,_sed⠀⇛ # ⚓ 9_Basic_‘du’_Command_In_Linux_With_Practical_Examples_| LinuxTeck⠀⇛ In this article, we will discuss another popular command for the Linux/Unix platform. It is called ‘du’, which stands for “Disk Usage”. It is a standard command used to estimate space usage (meaning, in the terminal we can find the exact size each directory and file takes up). There are multiple ways we can generate various types of output in Terminal using the ‘du’ command with various options. It is usually used by all System Administrators to find unwanted files, files with unused large sizes, or archive files that can be deleted/cleared in order to provide sufficient free space for servers. # ⚓ Peter ‘CzP’ Czanik ☛ Using_the_openSUSE_Build_Service_to build_software_for_POWER_|_Random_thoughts_of_Peter_‘CzP’ Czanik⠀⇛ My favorite and most used service for developers is the openSUSE Build Service (OBS). This is where I build syslog-ng packages first, before anywhere else. OBS is open source, highly flexible software to build software packages, and the instance at https://build.opensuse.org/ is free to use for anyone to build open source software. Best of all, it supports multiple architectures, including POWER. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ Old VCR ☛ prior-art-dept.:_5_letter_words_(Jim Butterfield’s_Jotto)⠀⇛ I mentioned the Wordle craze, including the extant ports to the Commodore 64, in our KIMdle sorta- Wordle for the KIM-1. But the Commodore 64, and I suspect this was actually a PET game originally, had a five-letter word game before that. Jim Butterfield’s Jotto isn’t Wordle — it tells you merely how many letters matched — but it’s undeniably an ancestor concept. Jotto appears in the Commodore 64 user’s guide on page 145 and is believed to be public domain. It is reproduced in its entirety in this scanned image. o § Distributions⠀➾ # § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ OpenSUSE_adopts_a_new_code_of_conduct_[LWN.net] [Ed: Interesting comments there]⠀⇛ The openSUSE project has announced the adoption of a new code of conduct: “We hope that by having a clear and concise Code of Conduct for the project, the openSUSE Community can continue to grow and prosper in the years to come”. # § IBM/Red Hat/Fedora⠀➾ # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Satellite_6.10.4_has_been released⠀⇛ We are pleased to announce that Red Hat Satellite 6.10.4 is generally available as of March 29, 2022. Red Hat Satellite is part of the Red Hat Smart Management subscription that makes it easier for enterprises to manage patching, provisioning, and subscription management of Red Hat Enterprise Linux infrastructure. # § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Open_source_security_coverage_and_compliance with_Ubuntu_Pro_on_public_clouds_|_Ubuntu⠀⇛ For businesses utilising public clouds, choosing an open source platform offers considerable advantages. Open source solutions can help reduce costs, provide access to the most leading-edge enterprise- grade features, and eliminate risks such as vendor lock-in, lack of support, or long-term security maintenance. Just like any other applications, open source solutions must be kept up-to-date and secure. Furthermore, organisations with industry- specific regulatory requirements can only utilise those solutions that meet compliance and hardening demands. These are the challenges that Ubuntu Pro is designed to solve. Ubuntu is already the world’s most popular Linux distribution and the most widely used operating system across major public clouds thanks to its ease-of-use, performance, and stability – with each Ubuntu LTS release benefiting from up to 5 years of standard security maintenance. Ubuntu Pro goes a step further by extending security coverage to the entire collection of software packages that ships with Ubuntu for 10 years, while also providing certified components to run across multiple compliance regimes spanning federal government, finance, healthcare, and more. # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ The_Evolution_of_the_Smart_Home:_Future Predictions_[Part_3]_|_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Matter, which I introduced in the previous blog of this series, is a new smart-home standard championed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA). It will certainly make a big splash, but widespread adoption will take time. While some companies will be able to update their devices to be Matter compatible, there are millions of devices in the field, and it’s likely that most cannot be upgraded. Companies that have already committed to another technology will face the decision of continuing to support their current devices, leaving them behind, or facing the increased costs of supporting both legacy devices and new Matter-compatible ones. Until Matter has proven itself as the new standard, this decision may not be clear- cut. Some companies may also see an advantage in retaining their proprietary technology, hoping their offerings are compelling enough to be a competitive advantage they can keep to themselves. # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ The_State_of_IoT_–_March_2022_|_Ubuntu⠀⇛ The Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) recently announced a release in the delay of specification of Matter, the royalty-free connectivity standard suited for smart home devices. Formerly Project Connected Home over IP, or Project CHIP, Matter is an IPv6-based connectivity standard defining the application layer deployed on devices with Wi-Fi support, Thread, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Although the Matter specification is proprietary, i.e., licensed by the CSA, the code is open-source. Citing additional tests and the Alliance’s Specification Validation Event to date, Matter’s SDK will be feature complete this spring, with Version 0.9 of the specification available to all Alliance members towards mid-year. Earlier in the year at CES 2022, Matter made great strides in staking a claim in what had, so far, appeared to be a melting pot of incompatible devices. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ GSM Arena ☛ Realme_GT_Neo2_starts_receiving_stable Realme_UI_3.0_based_on_Android_12_–_GSMArena.com_news⠀⇛ # ⚓ XDA ☛ T-Mobile_OnePlus_9_and_OnePlus_9_Pro_finally get_the_Android_12_update_with_OxygenOS_12⠀⇛ # ⚓ Giz China ☛ Black_Shark_5_Pro_Is_The_Most_Powerful Smartphone_In_Android_Camp⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ The_first_Android_Automotive_car_is keeping_good_pace_with_OS_updates,_so_far⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ Android_Auto’s_audio_suggestions_are appearing_for_more_users⠀⇛ o § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Matt Rickard ☛ Threat_of_the_Hard_Fork⠀⇛ When there’s a disagreement in open source projects, there’s the potential for a fork. One set of developers disagrees with the direction of a project and creates a (often permanently) divergent version. This is the hard fork – and any open source project can be forked. ‘Getting forked’ is as bad as it sounds. Developers, users, and all other sorts of resources are split. New users might be confused which project is the canonical project. # § Web Browsers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Some_non-production_tools_I_wrote_|_William Durand⠀⇛ This is a short article about 3 different tools I authored for my needs at Mozilla. I worked on AMO for almost 4 years and created various libraries like pino- mozlog, pino-devtools or an ESLint plugin to name a few. These libraries have been created either to improve our developer experience or to fulfill some production requirements. This isn’t the kind of projects I want to focus on in the rest of this article, though. Indeed, I also wrote “non-production” tools, i.e. some side projects to improve my day-to-day work. These tools have been extremely useful to me and, possibly, other individuals as well. I use most of them on a weekly basis and I maintain them on my own. # § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ There’s_More_to_Design_Than_Data_and Rationality⠀⇛ While the author suggests there’s more to math than “rigour and proofs”, I tangentially suggest there’s more to design than data and rationality. Design can be much richer when intuition and the intangible is factored into decision making. Too often, design is boiled down to what appears to be a material science: create something—anything really—put metrics in place to measure its success, then determine its ultimate value by purely numerical outcomes. # § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ # ⚓ Mapping_with_gnuplot,_part_2⠀⇛ The first part of this series appeared back in 2018. It describes how you can use gnuplot to build a simplified GIS. I wasn’t intending to do any more with this idea, but I was tinkering with animated map GIFs of Tasmania and realised that the gnuplot approach had some advantages. This post and the next one explain what I did. You don’t need to refer to that 2018 post, since I’ll repeat and update the information here. # § Java⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Mutator_Method_in_Java⠀⇛ In the English dictionary, to mutate means to have a new form. And so, a mutator, though not found in the English dictionary, means something that causes a change into a new form. A private variable is a field or property of a class in Java. There is no predefined method called mutator in Java. Instead, a mutator is a method in a class, and this method is meant to change the value of a private variable of the class. By convention, the programmer should begin the method name with “set”. So the method may be something like setAge(), setPrice(), setName(), etc. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Nokia_Busted_Helping_Russia’s_FSB_Spy_On_Citizens, Activists,_Journalists⠀⇛ Telecom giants are no strangers to helping governments spy on journalists, activists, and their own citizens. AT&T, for example, is effectively so bone-grafted to the NSA here in the States, you literally cannot physically tell where the government ends and the telecom giant begins. o ⚓ [Old] BBC ☛ Ericsson_says_it_may_have_paid_bribes_to_Islamic State_terrorists⠀⇛ Chief executive Borje Ekholm told a Swedish newspaper an internal probe started in 2019 had found serious failings by staff and contractors. Money was paid to access areas in Iraq that were controlled by IS, he told Dagens Industri. o ⚓ France24 ☛ Shareholders_sanction_Ericsson_board_over_Iraq corruption⠀⇛ Shareholders in Swedish telecom giant Ericsson on Tuesday sanctioned the company’s board and chief executive over its handling of a corruption scandal involving possible payments to the Islamic State group in Iraq. o ⚓ Reuters ☛ Ericsson_CEO_faces_investor_ire_over_handling_of_Iraq probe⠀⇛ Investors publicly rebuked Ericsson (ERICb.ST) Chief Executive Borje Ekholm and the telecom equipment maker’s board on Tuesday over a scandal involving potential payments to Islamic State. Ekholm’s handling of an internal probe into Ericsson’s operations in Iraq has come under scrutiny after the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) said the company was in breach of a 2019 deferred prosecution agreement for failing to inform U.S. authorities of potential misconduct it had uncovered there. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Orac ☛ Here_we_go_again:_Is_evidence-based_medicine_an “illusion”?⠀⇛ One of the advantages of having been a blogger for over 17 years is that you start to get a sense of history and perspective. You see the same things (or similar things) pop up over and over again. Indeed, that’s one reason why I frequently say about antivaccine conspiracy theories in the age of COVID-19 that “everything old is new again” and “there is nothing new under the sun in antivaxland” (e.g., misusing and misrepresenting VAERS); none of the conspiracy theories that have popped up since COVID-19 hit and shocked and surprised my colleagues are new. I don’t want to dwell on that, because the current topic is more general (although certainly COVID-19 cranks are involved). I’m referring to attacks on evidence-based medicine (EBM) as an “illusion” or somehow hopelessly compromised, for whatever reason (most commonly, corruption by big pharma). # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Towering_Ice_Volcanoes_Identified_on Surprisingly_Vibrant_Pluto⠀⇛ Scientists said that these cryovolcanoes — numbering perhaps 10 or more — stand anywhere from 1 kilometer (six-tenths of a mile) to 7 kilometers (4-1/2 miles) tall. Unlike Earth volcanoes that spew gases and molten rock, this dwarf planet’s cryovolcanoes extrude large amounts of ice — apparently frozen water rather than some other frozen material — that may have the consistency of toothpaste, they said. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Across_the_Country,_Faculty_Fight_to_Defend Academic_Freedom⠀⇛ Worse than McCarthyism, which only targeted individual dissenters, today’s repressive measures invade the curriculum and the classroom and threaten to deprive students of the rigorous examination of real-world problems that citizens of a democratic society need. While these educational gag orders originally focused on K-12 education, colleges and universities have also come under attack. And professors are fighting back as never before. Displaying an unprecedented solidarity, the academic community is mobilizing to confront what its members rightly perceive as an existential assault on their professional work and values. Faculty organizations, learned societies, even student groups are forming new coalitions and strengthening old ones as they engage in collective action to stem the tide of repressive legislation—and stiffen the spines of university administrators. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Arm_says_devs_need_better_multi- architecture_support_•_The_Register⠀⇛ Arm says heterogeneous compute architectures – those with a mix of CPUs, GPUs, DPUs, and other processor types – pose a challenge for software developers, and greater multi-architecture support is needed to address this. Specialized processing, as the chip designer refers to it, will likely succeed Moore’s Law for driving innovation. System builders will focus on attributes such as performance, efficiency, and optimization for the task at hand rather than clock speed when combining CPUs, GPUs, DPUs, and other devices, Arm said. But this specialized processing model upends business as usual for software developers, according to Bhumik Patel, Arm’s Director for Software Ecosystem Development. He says in a blog post that the answer is to enable a frictionless experience for developers to achieve multi- architecture support for the software they code. o § Integrity/Availability⠀➾ # § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ ABC ☛ Satellite_modems_nexus_of_worst_cyberattack_of Ukraine_war⠀⇛ A malicious software command that immediately crippled tens of thousands of modems across Europe anchored the cyberattack on a satellite network used by Ukraine’s government and military just as Russia invaded, the satellite owner disclosed Wednesday. The owner, U.S.-based Viasat, issued a statement providing details for the first time of how the most serious known cyberattack of the Russia-Ukraine war unfolded. The wide-ranging attack affected users from Poland to France, getting quick notice by knocking off remote access to thousands of wind turbines in central Europe. # ⚓ Redmond Magazine ☛ Globant_Apparently_[Cracked]_by Lapsus_Gang⠀⇛ The Luxembourg-based company, with offices in 18 countries worldwide, didn’t mention Lapsus$ in its Wednesday announcement. It just stated that there had been “unauthorized access” to “a limited section of company’s code repository,” which was associated with “a very limited number of clients.” The clients weren’t named, but Globant didn’t find “any evidence that other areas of our infrastructure systems or those of our clients were affected.” # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Lapsus$_breaches_software_consultancy_firm Globant,_steals_source_code⠀⇛ The company did not blame any particular entity for the breach, but the Lapsus$ group, which has been in the news recently, claimed on its Telegram channel on Wednesday that it has broken into Globant’s servers and filched some 70GB of customer source code. The Globant statement said: “According to our current analysis, the information that was accessed was limited to certain source code and project-related documentation for a very limited number of clients. # ⚓ uni Toronto ☛ We_need_a_way_to_scan_Microsoft_Office files_for_malware⠀⇛ Right now one issue is the same one we had with attachment types, where we didn’t know what sort of attachments our users got, both in legitimate email and in spam. Today we don’t know what sorts of things are in the Microsoft Office files our users receive. How prevalent are macros, embedded OLE objects, macros with suspicious attributes, and so on? Since it seems unlikely we’ll be able to get a Microsoft Office scanning tool (either open source or commercial) that gives us a carefully curated ‘good’ or ‘bad’ answer, we’re going to have to work that out based on our usage patterns, and that means learning what the usage patterns are. # ⚓ TheGrugq ☛ KGB_Fail_Belarus_Rail,_the_tale. [iophk: Windows TCO]⠀⇛ On March 25th the Belarus railway system was sabotaged (again) as part of the ongoing campaign by partisans to hamper Putins war effort. These attacks have been ongoing since at least earlier this year, when the Cyber Partisans (BCP) hacked the railway’s network and began trashing it. First in a ransomware attack, and then in subsequent attacks by wiping critical hardware. # § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ CISA ☛ FBI_Releases_PIN_on_Phishing_Campaign against_U.S._Election_Officials_|_CISA⠀⇛ The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released a Private Industry Notification (PIN) to warn U.S. election and other state and local government officials about invoice- themed phishing emails that could be used to harvest officials’ login credentials. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Wednesday_ [LWN.net]⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by CentOS (expat, firefox, httpd, openssl, and thunderbird), Debian (cacti), Fedora (kernel, rsh, unrealircd, and xen), Mageia (kernel and kernel-linus), openSUSE (apache2, java-1_8_0-ibm, kernel, openvpn, and protobuf), Oracle (openssl), Red Hat (httpd:2.4, kernel, kpatch-patch, and openssl), SUSE (apache2, java-1_7_1-ibm, java-1_8_0- ibm, kernel, openvpn, protobuf, and zlib), and Ubuntu (chromium-browser and paramiko). # ⚓ The_Hacker_Mind:_Follow_The_Rabbit⠀⇛ Researchers Nir Ohfeld and Sagi Tzadik join The Hacker Mind to talk about their presentation at Black Hat Europe 2021 on the ChaosDB vulnerability. It’s about how they started with a deliberately misconfigured version of CosmosDB and ended up with complete unrestricted access to the accounts and the databases of thousands of Microsoft Azure customers. # ⚓ CISA ☛ Google_Releases_Security_Updates_for Chrome_|_CISA⠀⇛ Google has released Chrome version 100.0.4896.60 for Windows, Mac, and Linux. This version addresses vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit to take control of an affected system. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Federal_Agencies_Instructed_to Patch_New_Chrome_Zero-Day_|_SecurityWeek.Com⠀⇛ The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has warned federal agencies about an actively exploited zero-day vulnerability in Google’s Chrome browser. Tracked as CVE-2022-1096, the high- severity security hole was identified in Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine and impacts all Chromium-based browsers. Google issued an emergency fix for this bug on Friday, and Microsoft followed suit the next day, updating its Chromium-based Edge browser. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ Apple_Watch_in_Tire_Allegedly Used_to_Track_Ex-Girlfriend⠀⇛ Apple has previously found itself in the hot seat over cyberstalking involving its AirTags trackers. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Stalking_with_an_Apple Watch [Ed: No, Bruce Schneier, these are not "malicious uses"; these are the uses. Only NSApple is allowed to do it.]⠀⇛ o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ FAIR ☛ Depicting_Putin_as_‘Madman’_Eliminates_Need_for Diplomacy⠀⇛ Even before Russia invaded Ukraine, Western media have depicted Russian President Vladimir Putin as an irrational—perhaps mentally ill—leader who cannot be reasoned or bargained with. Such portrayals have only intensified as the Ukraine crisis came to dominate the news agenda. # ⚓ Digital First Media ☛ FBI_agents_raid_home_as_death_threats target_Whitmer_kidnap_case_judge,_lawyers⠀⇛ FBI agents have raided a Hazel Park home while investigating threats to the judge and defense lawyers in the Gov. Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping conspiracy trial, The Detroit News has learned. Agents are investigating threats directed at several people, including Chief U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker and defense lawyers Josh Blanchard and Christopher Gibbons, according to two sources familiar with the investigation who were not authorized to speak publicly about the probe. Jonker is presiding over the trial and the attorneys represent accused plot ringleaders Barry Croft and Adam Fox, respectively. # ⚓ NBC ☛ FBI_raids_Michigan_home_after_reported_threats_to judge,_lawyers_in_Gov._Whitmer_kidnapping_case⠀⇛ Jonker is presiding over the Grand Rapids trial of accused plot ringleaders Barry Croft and Adam Fox, and Blanchard and Gibbons are their attorneys. A law enforcement official confirmed to NBC News that it was Jonker, Blanchard and Gibbons who received threats. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Trial_Opens_of_IS_Suspect_Accused_of_Kidnap, Murder_of_Americans⠀⇛ El Shafee Elsheikh, a British citizen, is charged with involvement in the killings of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and aid workers Peter Kassig and Kayla Mueller. # ⚓ NPR ☛ Trump_White_House_phone_records_show_7-hour_gap_on Jan._6⠀⇛ The documents reported by The Washington Post and CBS reflect a call that Trump had with then-Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., at 11:06 a.m., with the next call listed at 6:54 p.m. through the White House switchboard to get Trump aide Dan Scavino on the phone. Some details of that day’s phone calls listed in the log — and some of those missing from the log — have also been previously reported. # ⚓ CNN ☛ Trump_brazenly_asks_Putin_to_release_dirt_about Biden’s_family⠀⇛ The clip of Trump asking Putin for help was published by a news website founded by John Solomon, a pro-Trump journalist whose previous coverage about the Bidens’ ties to Ukraine has been discredited. He told CNN that the interview was taped on Monday at Mar-a-Lago. # ⚓ How_to_quickly_end_the_war_in_Ukraine_with_$10_laser pointers⠀⇛ Though outdoor laser pointer pictures are usually shot at night so the beam is easier to see, they can do just as much damage during the day. In the United States, the actions I am proposing are against the law and can result in jail time plus an $11,000 fine per incident. But in the case of Ukraine, this is war and saving the nation is worth the risk and the effort. # ⚓ Medforth ☛ Afghan_migrant_commits_deadly_attack_in Villeurbanne,_France,_on_people_who_“do_not_read_the_Quran”: judges_declare_him_criminally_not_liable_for_punishment⠀⇛ Translation: In two hours, it will be exactly two years since Timothy Bonnet was stabbed to death in the street by Afghan migrant Sultan Marmed Niazi “because he did not read the Quran”. # ⚓ The Tribune IN ☛ Ex-journalist_among_2_terrorists_killed_in Srinagar_encounter⠀⇛ Two terrorists killed in an encounter between terrorists and security forces at Rainawari area in Central Kashmir’s Srinagar district have been identified as Rayees Ahmad Bhat and Hilal Ahmad Rah, officials said on Wednesday. Police said Rayees Ahmad Bhat had been a journalist previously running an online news portal while Hilal Ahmad Rah, a categorised terrorist, belonged to Bijbehara in South Kashmir. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ British_Judges_Quit_Hong_Kong_Court_Over Beijing-Imposed_National_Security_Law⠀⇛ Two senior British judges resigned from Hong Kong’s highest court on Wednesday as part of a broader British rebuke of the territory’s claim that its courts are independent of political interference. In a prepared statement released by Lord Robert Reed and his colleague Lord Patrick Hodge, the judges cited the territory’s Beijing-imposed National Security Law (NSL) as central to their decision, which followed discussions with Dominic Raab, the U.K. lord chancellor and justice secretary. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Soda_and_Beer_Companies_Are_Ditching Plastic_Six-Pack_Rings⠀⇛ The changes are taking different forms — from cardboard to six-pack rings made with leftover barley straw. While the transitions can be a step toward sustainability, some experts say that simply switching to different packaging material could be the wrong solution or not enough, and that more plastic needs to be recycled and remade. # ⚓ MIT Technology Review ☛ A_US_oil-drilling_hotspot_is kicking_out_far_more_methane_than_we_thought⠀⇛ One of the largest and fastest-growing oil production sites in the US is emitting far more methane than previously measured. It’s well known that oil and natural-gas production is a significant source of the powerful greenhouse gas: methane that is trapped underground leaks out from wells and pipelines, and it can also be released intentionally through venting and flaring, or burning. But an aerial survey of the Permian Basin in New Mexico revealed more leakage than even the highest estimates had suggested to date. # § Energy⠀➾ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ Iron_Workers_Union_Files_Nearly_150_Labor Charges_Against_One_Trucking_Company⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ The_Ghost_of_Enron_Haunts_Joe_Manchin’s Coal_Fortune⠀⇛ # ⚓ BBC ☛ Germany_and_Austria_take_step_towards_gas rationing⠀⇛ Russia had demanded “unfriendly” countries pay for its gas in roubles from 31 March, but the EU, which mainly pays in euros, rejected the idea. Moscow later appeared to soften its stance, saying on Wednesday rouble payments would be introduced gradually. But Germany and Austria have taken the first steps towards gas rationing o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ The Hill ☛ Regulatory_enforcement_is_our_best_weapon against_cyberwar [iophk: Windows TCO]⠀⇛ The executive order was an excellent first step in the right direction. It required the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with industry and other partners, to develop a new framework to improve the security and integrity of the technology supply chain. As a direct response, in February 2022, NIST published Recommended Criteria for Cybersecurity Labeling of Consumer IoT Products and Recommended Criteria for Cybersecurity Labeling of Consumer Software. The publications recommended cybersecurity labeling for consumer software and consumer internet connected devices that will give the public a clear indication of whether a device or software meets cybersecurity criteria. # ⚓ Hollywood Reporter ☛ TikTok_“Deeply_Concerned”_by Facebook’s_Paid_Campaign_to_Promote_Negative_Coverage_of Social_App⠀⇛ As reported by The Washington Post, Meta has paid a “right of center” marketing firm, Targeted Victory, to lead a campaign that has included placing op-eds and letters to the editor in local papers to promote anti-TikTok sentiment, especially when it comes to children using the app. Targeted Victory allegedly worked with local operatives to promote the negative coverage around purported trends on TikTok harming children to compel lawmakers to take action; the firm also sought to promote positive coverage about Meta and use the anti-TikTok pieces to deflect from government antitrust and privacy concerns leveled against the Facebook parent company, according to the Post‘s reporting. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Facebook_funded_anti-TikTok_campaign_through GOP_firm⠀⇛ Facebook’s parent company, Meta, has been paying one of the most prominent Republican consulting firms to run a nationwide campaign to sow distrust about one of the company’s top competitors, TikTok, according to a new report from The Washington Post on Wednesday. The firm, Targeted Victory, reportedly planted op- eds and letters to the editor in major local and regional newspapers across the country. A Targeted Victory director told staff that the firm needed to “get the message out that while Meta is the current punching bag, TikTok is the real threat especially as a foreign owned app that is #1 in sharing data that young teens are using,” according to emails obtained by The Post. # ⚓ BBC ☛ Why_‘burner_phones’_are_the_talk_of_Washington⠀⇛ In a statement to the Washington Post, Mr Trump said that he had never heard of the term “burner phone” and had no idea what it was. His assertion was quickly contradicted by John Bolton, the president’s former national security advisor, who told CBS News that he and Mr Trump had spoken in the past of how burner phones could allow people to avoid having their calls scrutinised. o § Misinformation/Disinformation⠀➾ # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ How_China_uses_influencers_to_build_a propaganda_network⠀⇛ As China continues to assert its economic might, it is using the global social media ecosystem to expand its already formidable influence. The country has quietly built a network of social media personalities who parrot the government’s perspective in posts seen by hundreds of thousands of people, operating in virtual lockstep as they promote China’s virtues, deflect international criticism of its human rights abuses, and advance Beijing’s talking points on world affairs like Russia’s war against Ukraine. Some of China’s state-affiliated reporters have posited themselves as trendy Instagram influencers or bloggers. The country has also hired firms to recruit influencers to deliver carefully crafted messages that boost its image to social media users. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Mint Press News ☛ Noam_Chomsky,_Cornel_West,_Naomi_Klein Join_Over_100_Academics_Denouncing_The_Israel_lobby’s_Attempt To_Cancel_Lowkey⠀⇛ The worldwide campaign of support for hip hop artist and political campaigner Lowkey is growing. Following the publication of Monday’s open letter backing the British-Iraqi rapper’s right to freedom of speech, more than 100 academics, journalists and other public figures have signed a letter of public support, denouncing what they see as a “coordinated smear campaign to demonize, defame and deplatform him.” # ⚓ IGN ☛ Disney+_Is_Censoring_Some_Violence_in_Falcon_&_Winter Soldier_Series_–_IGN_The_Fix:_Entertainment⠀⇛ In Marvel news, even with the TV-MA Netflix Marvel shows on Disney Plus, it appears there’s censorship happening on The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. [...] # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Burundi_Lifts_Ban_on_BBC_After_Almost_3_Years⠀⇛ Burundi’s media authority announced Wednesday that it would lift a nationwide ban on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), nearly three years after the broadcaster was forced to stop operating in the East African country. The National Communication Council withdrew the license for the broadcasting giant in 2019, accusing it of breaching press laws and unprofessional conduct. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ US_Public_School_Libraries_Pressured_to_Remove Certain_Books⠀⇛ Public school districts in multiple U.S. states are grappling with — and, in some cases, acquiescing to — demands by small but vocal groups of parents to rid school libraries of certain books about sexual minorities and racism in America. The desire of some parents to shield students from what they regard as immoral, sexually explicit or racially contentious content is drawing a sharp reaction from defenders of the free flow of ideas and information. # ⚓ BBC ☛ Colchester_grammar_teacher_suspended_over_Prophet Muhammad_mug⠀⇛ “At this time we are looking into the matter.

All started after I have realized that many part of Pepper&Carrot were still designed for Internet as it was when I started the project in 2014 and forgot to evolve and embrace the new rules of the Internet as set by the giant proprietary social-medias of 2022. I’ll try to explain at first my diagnosis, and then explain how I plan to adapt and changes I’ll put into action. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Site36 ☛ Digital_justice:_German_state_of_Baden-Württemberg launches_„electronic_criminal_file“⠀⇛ From 2026, electronic legal transactions should be possible completely without paper, but this could cause problems for defendants in custody. # ⚓ The Hill ☛ Apple,_Meta_turned_over_user_data_to_[frauds] using_forged_requests:_report⠀⇛ Apple and Facebook parent company Meta turned over user data last year to [frauds] pretending to be law enforcement officials, Bloomberg reported, citing three people familiar with the matter. The companies provided user details such as addresses, phone numbers and IP addresses in mid- 2021 to the [frauds], sources told Bloomberg. The [frauds] had requested the information via forged “emergency data requests,” which do not require court approval like typical warrants or subpoenas do. It’s unclear how much data was turned over. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Iran_Again_Bans_Women_from_Soccer_Stadium⠀⇛ Iran has once again denied women entry to a soccer stadium to watch an international match, leaving hundreds of ticketed fans locked out, Iranian media said Wednesday. The World Cup qualifier against Lebanon on Tuesday night, won 2-0 by Iran, was played at the Imam Reza stadium in the northeastern city of Mashhad. # ⚓ Reason ☛ He_Disarmed_a_Gun-Wielding_Menace_in_a_San_Jose Taqueria._Then_the_Cops_Shot_Him.⠀⇛ Police won’t release body cam footage of disputed incident for 45 days. Kaun Green may have saved some lives. When a brawl broke out in a San Jose, California, restaurant last weekend, the 20-year- old Contra Costa City College student and football player was able to get a gun away from one of the men who had started the fight. For his good deed, Green wound up being shot multiple times by local police. # ⚓ Christian Today ☛ Nigeria_may_become_the_next_Rwanda,_warns report_into_violence_against_Christians⠀⇛ The Joint Visit Report from HART, the International Organisation for Peace Building and Social Justice UK (PSJ-UK) and Christian Solidarity International (CSI) said that the perpetrators of these attacks “are rarely, if ever, brought to justice”. In her foreword to the report, “Breaking Point in central Nigeria? Terror and Mass Displacement in the Middle Belt”, Baroness Cox said she had visited Nigeria many times, but during her visit earlier this month she was advised for the first time to fly from the Nigerian capital, Abuja, to Jos, the capital of the Plateau state, rather than travel by road. This was “due to the increased frequency of killings and kidnappings – another indication that security is worsening in central states”. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Iranian_town_removes_statue_of_woman_for_un- Islamic_dress⠀⇛ The latest target of Iran’s compulsory hijab law: a statue recently installed on a street in Gorgan, in the northeast of the country. On March 25, city officials removed the sculpture because of a woman whose veil and dress was deemed inappropriate. # ⚓ AccessNow ☛ Looming_curbs_on_Tunisian_civil_society_must_be stopped_–_Access_Now⠀⇛ Tunisian authorities should immediately scrap plans for new restrictions on civil society organizations, 13 Tunisian and international rights groups said today.Those plans, if carried out, would reverse a major gain for freedom of association following the country’s 2011 revolution. They would constitute another blow to human rights safeguards by President Kais Saied since his July 2021 power grab.“Tunisians know from experience the dangers that restrictive laws can pose to civil society and public debate,” said Amna Guellali, Deputy Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa at Amnesty International. “During the deeply repressive Ben Ali era, the authorities used restrictive regulations on associations and cumbersome administrative procedures as key tools to smother dissent.” A draft law to regulate civil society organizations was recently leaked. It would give government authorities overly broad powers and discretion to interfere with the way civil society organizations are formed, their functions and operations, their funding, and their ability to speak publicly about their work and to express their views.In a videotaped speech on February 24, President Saied accused civil society organizations of serving foreign interests and trying to meddle in Tunisian politics, and said he intended to ban all funding for such groups from abroad.“In the 10 years since Ben Ali’s ouster, nongovernmental organizations in Tunisia have played a crucial role in providing essential services to the public and holding the government accountable,” said Eric Goldstein, deputy Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch. “Their work should be promoted and protected rather than threatened.”Under Decree- Law 2011-88, both Tunisians and resident foreigners may freely establish civil society organizations, carry out a broad range of activities, lobby the authorities regarding laws and policies, speak publicly about their work and opinions, and receive foreign funding without government authorization.The authorities have not formally confirmed that they are amending the existing law, nor have they released a draft law, and it remains unclear whether it has been modified since being leaked. Draft laws in Tunisia have not been made public or subject to formal debate by parliament since President Saied suspended the body on July 25, 2021. Under a presidential decree issued on September 22, 2021, all laws are currently enacted as decree-laws issued by the president. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ Variety ☛ Apple_Will_Let_Content_Apps_Like_Netflix,_Spotify Link_to_Their_Websites_to_Sign_Up_Users⠀⇛ In a small but notable change, digital media providers with “reader” apps in Apple’s App Store — such as Netflix and Spotify — will now be able to provide links in their iOS apps to let customers sign up for and manage accounts on the companies’ own websites. Previously, Apple prohibited app developers from including any links to account sign-up pages. For purchases made within the app itself, Apple will still require developers to use Apple’s in-app payment system — under which Apple takes a 30% cut of subscriptions in year one, with that dropping to 15% starting in the second year. (Netflix and Spotify, among others, do not allow such in-app payments.) # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Bjoern Brembs ☛ Why_Publication_Services_Must_Not_Be Negotiated⠀⇛ This emphasis on competition refers back to the simple fact that as content (rather than service) providers, legacy publishers currently enjoy monopolies on their content, as, e.g., the European Commission has long recognized: In at least two market analyses, one dating as far back as 2003 and one from 2015, the EC acknowledges the lack of a genuine market due to the lack of substitutability: [...] # ⚓ EFF ☛ Digital_Rights_Updates_with_EFFector_34.2⠀⇛ Make sure you never miss an issue by signing up by email to receive EFFector as soon as it’s posted!

Here’s a new one for GNOME desktop 40+. Different to other apps, the extension show a little icon in system tray area for current weather condition. By clicking on it will display weather forecast for next days as desktop widget. # ⚓ Rover_Tours_with_Gemini⠀⇛ Gemini support was recently added to rover making it a gemini client of sorts. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_OpenJDK_11_on_Ubuntu_20.04 LTS⠀⇛ Java is a general-purpose, class-based, object- oriented multipurpose programming language that is popular due to the design of having lesser implementation dependencies, meaning that the compiled Java code can be run on all platforms that support Java without the need for recompilation. Java is also fast, secure, and reliable, therefore. It is widely used for developing Java applications in laptops, data centers, game consoles, scientific supercomputers, cell phones, etc. The tutorial will look at installing the OpenJDK version instead of the default Oracle JDK. The difference between these two is licensing. OpenJDK is an entirely free open-source Java with a GNU General Public License, and Oracle JDK requires a commercial license under the Oracle Binary Code License Agreement. Other differences are release schedules and other factors that come into play; however, performance is pretty much the same. In the following tutorial, you will learn how to install OpenJDK 11 LTS or better known as Java 11 LTS on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa with the standard APT installation from Ubuntu’s repository along with the PPA version which may suit some users better. The tutorial will also demonstrate how to switch Java alternative default versions. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Telegram_on_Fedora_36 Linux⠀⇛ Telegram is a free, cross-platform messaging app with end-to-end encryption. It’s famous for providing video calling and other missing features from Facebook or Twitter – one of its main attractions! The application also has no ties whatsoever between them (the big social media companies), meaning you can be sure your data won’t go unnoticed by anyone else besides whom it belongs too; this makes telegram more secure than ever before because there isn’t anything giving away how much information we share on our phones every day. In the following tutorial, you will learn how to install the Telegram client on Fedora 36 Linux using the command line terminal with two installation methods and some tips on maintaining Telegram into the future. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_MATE_Desktop_on_Fedora_36 Linux⠀⇛ If you’re not familiar with MATE Desktop Environment, it’s the continuation of GNOME 2. This lightweight and fast desktop environment run on Linux or most BSD operating systems; an excellent choice for low-end systems looking to remain efficient system resources! The newest version includes Wayland support which means that components can take advantage of its robust graphics processing capabilities without relying upon X11 servers (which some may find unfavorable). Fedora 36 has, by default, GNOME 42 installed. While this is an excellent option, alternatives can be installed in combination with the default desktop environments, and you can swap freely between them. However, if you genuinely love using the MATE desktop environment, I would advise installing the MATE Fedora spin alternative version without having multiple desktop environments. # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ How_to_Upgrade_Your_Linux_Desktop_to_GNOME 42⠀⇛ GNOME 42 has arrived! This is a big release, introducing the libadwaita library to provide apps with not only a new look but adaptive design and animations. There’s also official dark theme support and excellent screen capturing functionality built into the Print Screen button. So how do you get your hands on these new features? You can’t just download the latest version from the official website. And while some Linux distributions do provide the updates in a matter of days, most will leave you waiting for months. But there are ways to go about getting the latest GNOME even on Ubuntu. Here’s how. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_TeXworks_on_Ubuntu_22.04 LTS⠀⇛ TeXworks is a TeX document editor application that comes with pdfTeX, pdfLaTex, LuaTex, LuaLaTex, BibTex MakeIndex and XeTeX typesetting engines support. It generates PDF documents as the default formatted output. You can also configure a processing path based on DVI. It comes with a build-in integrated PDF viewer source/preview synchronization support. Suppose you are looking for an open-source TeX document editor application with additional typesetting engine support to generate PDF documents as the default formatted output. In that case, Texworks should be your go-to choice. In the following tutorial, you will learn how to install the latest version of TeXworks on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish using a recommended Launchpad PPA repository to provide the most up-to- date version using the command line terminal. # ⚓ Private_Learning_Portal_With_Moodle_in_your_Raspberry_PI⠀⇛ World digitalization is spreading on all life fields. Internet reached each home, so also learning process changed with many web courses rising. In this article, I’ll show you how to create your personal learning portal with Moodle on a Raspberry PI single board computer. # ⚓ ByteXD ☛ Install_GNOME_Desktop_in_RHEL,_Rocky_Linux_& AlmaLinux⠀⇛ GNOME is a desktop environment for the Linux operating system. It is designed to be simple and easy to use, and it is one of the most popular desktop environments for Linux. A desktop environment is a GUI (graphical user interface) that allows you to interact with your computer in a more natural way, usually with a mouse and keyboard. Like any other desktop environment, it’s composed of a number of components, including a window manager, a desktop manager, a panel, and a set of applications. GNOME is the default desktop environment for most Linux distros. There are cases where your machine may not come with GNOME installed by default, such as when you’re running a server or you installed your RHEL- based distro from an image with a different default desktop environment (such as XFCE). In this tutorial we’ll cover how to install GNOME on a machine running a RHEL-based distro, such as Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, CentOS, Fedora, and others. # ⚓ Create_Linux_Disk_Partitions_With_Fdisk_–_OSTechNix⠀⇛ The other day, we discussed how to create and manage Linux disk partitions using Parted utility. Today, we will do the same with an another command line utility called ‘Fdisk’. This tutorial explains what is Fdisk utility, and how to create and manage disk partitions with Fdisk in Linux. # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Beginner’s_Guide_to_Syslogs_in_Linux_[Real World_Examples]⠀⇛ For decades, Linux logging has been managed by the syslogd daemon. Syslogd would collect the log messages that system processes and applications sent to the /dev/log pseudo device. Then it would direct the messages to appropriate plain text log files in the /var/log/ directory. Syslogd would know where to send the messages because each one includes headers containing metadata fields (including a time-stamp, and the message origin and priority). # ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Install_OTRS_on_AlmaLinux_8_–_idroot⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to install OTRS on AlmaLinux 8. For those of you who didn’t know, OTRS stands for “Open Source Trouble Ticket System” is a free and open-source service management suite. It is written in the PERL programming language and its ability to integrate with other systems makes it much more popular. OTRS has a low requirement which makes it ideal for small business ticketing. 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 OTRS (Open Ticket Request System) on an AlmaLinux 8. You can follow the same instructions for CentOS and Rocky Linux. # ⚓ Vitux ☛ Create_a_Bootable_USB_Stick_from_the_Ubuntu Terminal_–_VITUX⠀⇛ There are many ways to create a bootable USB stick in Ubuntu. Some involve using the system tools, while others require external packages to be installed. In this article, we will use the Ubuntu command line, the terminal, to create a bootable Ubuntu USB stick. This is done with the dd command. The terminal is a good alternative to doing your tasks through the Ubuntu user interface. Using the terminal makes certain tasks more efficient and even faster. The command-line tools don’t consume too many resources, so they are a good alternative to the widely used graphical applications, especially if you can’t cope with older hardware. # ⚓ Vitux ☛ How_to_find_your_IP_Address_on_Debian_11_–_VITUX⠀⇛ This guide is intended for Linux beginners. It shows 6 different ways to find the IP address of your local network card using the command line as well as the GNOME Desktop on Debian 11. An IP address is a unique identifier assigned to any system connected to a network or the Internet for identification and communication. It is a very important piece of information to know in order to set up network-related applications, troubleshoot network problems, and allow other users to access your system to share resources. There are usually two types of IP addresses for a network device: the external IP address and the internal IP address. The external IP address is the address you get when you are connected to the Internet and is assigned to your router by an Internet service provider. The internal IP address is the address assigned to you by your router or Internet device that allows you to connect to the Internet. # ⚓ Vitux ☛ Easily_Set_up_Remote_Backups_With_Open_Source Duplicati⠀⇛ Backups are an essential thing to do and manage in today’s world, where you can easily expect your data to be hacked or lost because of any internal or external error. At the end, no one wants to suffer through a precious data loss, and the best way to save the day is to have a backup plan! There are so many open source backup software out there, each with different features. But ever thought that you don’t want these complicated and fully-fledged solutions? As an end-user, you may want a “just enough” backup solution that does what you need without having to waste time learning it or reading through the user manual. This is where Duplicati comes to play. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Steam_Play_Proton_could_get_direct_support for_NVIDIA_Image_Scaling_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ An engineer from NVIDIA has put up a Pull Request on the official Wine repository that Valve uses for Proton, suggesting a rather fun new feature be added. Developer Eric Sullivan put up the Pull Request titled “Support for NVIDIA Image Scaling”, if accepted it could mean a future release of Proton would enable users (of any GPU vendor – it’s a simple shader) to upscale applications to the current display resolution with NVIDIA Image Scaling. The idea of that sounds pretty exciting, as the more options it supports the better. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Proton_Experimental_fixes_Microsoft_Flight Simulator_and_more_for_Linux_and_Steam_Deck_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ More goodies have arrived from Valve with a Proton Experimental update available, here’s what’s new and improved. This update arrived on March 30, and it seems they also removed the note of Saint Seiya: Soldiers’ Soul being playable from a previous update as it needs more work right now. For this update noted as newly playable: Guilty Gear Isuka. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ OneXPlayer_looking_at_shipping_handhelds with_SteamOS_like_the_Steam_Deck_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ OneXPlayer are a series of handheld gaming devices, they’re somewhat popular and it appears they’ve been keeping a close eye on SteamOS and how it’s been working on the Steam Deck. Currently they offer various models like the OneXPlayer Mini, OneXPlayer 1S, two AMD models and the One-GX 1 Laptop. However, all of them currently ship with Windows. Some of them are pretty powerful too, like the currently sold-out “ONEXPLAYER AMD® – 8.4 inch Ryzen® 5700U” model. Their prices are quite a bit higher than Steam Deck too, with that model in particular retailing at $1,419. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Chrome_on_Steam_Deck_now_supports_the_Deck Controller,_with_GeForce_NOW_working_|_GamingOnLinux⠀⇛ Good news Cloud Gaming fans, as it appears the version of Chrome available on the Steam Deck is now the correct version needed to detect the gamepad. With two small quick fixes, you can play GeForce NOW on Steam Deck easily. I was waiting on the Chrome update to ship to properly show off Cloud Gaming, which was available in the Dev and Beta versions of Chrome for a little while. You can see on the official Chromium tracker that it has now shipped, and checking the Chrome version on Deck today, it’s the same. o § Distributions⠀➾ # § Reviews⠀➾ # ⚓ Installation_and_Review_of_Bodhi_Linux_[Lightweight Distro]⠀⇛ Bodhi Linux is a new Linux distribution, based on Ubuntu Linux – which in turn is based on Debian – that aims to be lightweight and free. As an Ubuntu-based system, we have the advantage of apt, synaptic, and Bodhi’s designated AppCenter as options for the plethora of applications we can utilize under Bodhi. As a fully-featured and lightweight distribution, Bodhi is bundled with an in- house desktop environment called Moksha Desktop with an intentionally minimalistic approach. # § IBM/Red Hat/Fedora⠀➾ # ⚓ Enterprisers Project ☛ 6_ways_CIOs_can_drive_change through_ESG_|_The_Enterprisers_Project⠀⇛ No doubt your board is talking more these days about sustainability CSR (corporate social responsibility), and DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion). All of these are related to ESG – the acronym that stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. ESG embeds environmental and social investment into enterprise governance and encourages socially responsible investing (SRI) in capital markets. Today there are a number of agencies that provide ESG scores for companies. Similar to the ratings provided by credit-rating agencies, the better the ESG score, the more attractive the company is as an investment. For this reason, boards are paying closer attention to how ESG is being addressed in their companies. # ⚓ Enterprisers Project ☛ Encouraging_a_change-ready mindset:_7_tips_from_CIOs_|_The_Enterprisers_Project⠀⇛ Fear and resistance are natural responses, says John Manis, SVP-CIO for CHRISTUS Health – and they can stand in the way of progress. “Change, even for the better, is difficult,” says Manis. “In my experience, resistance to change is most often based in fear; people perceive change as a potential threat. Though they will rarely vocalize their fears, they may be privately or unconsciously concerned that they are incapable of making the necessary change; that they may be unable to learn a new process, a new procedure, or a new application; that they may be slowed or exposed as inefficient; or even that their position – and their livelihood – may be made redundant or obsolete. Resistance is a natural human response to a perceived threat.” # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Why_it_makes_sense_to_write Kubernetes_webhooks_in_Golang_|_Enable_Sysadmin⠀⇛ When to choose Golang versus Python and YAML for writing Kubernetes webbooks. # ⚓ IBM Developer ☛ Use_our_browser-based,_no-code/low- code_developer_sandbox_to_try_new_technologies_–_IBM Developer⠀⇛ The sandbox includes nine applications that showcase the state of the art technologies that are a focus for IBM and our Business Partners. You will get access to applications and services of technologies that include machine learning tools, APIs, AI models, and more. These applications serve as a foundation to jump-start your development work. # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Bind_workloads_to_services_easily_with_the Service_Binding_Operator_and_Red_Hat_OpenShift_|_Red Hat_Developer⠀⇛ Applications running under Kubernetes must expose secrets in order to connect to external services such as REST APIs, databases, and event buses. Each service provider suggests a different way to access their secrets, and for a long time, each application has consumed those secrets in a custom way. The Service Binding Operator makes the life of the application developer a lot easier by providing a consistent and declarative service binding method. This article will show you how to use the Service Binding Operator to bind an application to a database, enhanced by help from the Red Hat OpenShift console. The example in this article installs a MySQL database and a simple application: the Spring PetClinic sample application, enriched by Spring Cloud Bindings library. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Shares_—_Cloud_services basics⠀⇛ Enterprises spent US$178 billion on cloud infrastructure services in 2021, 37% more than in 2020. And “global spending on cloud services is expected to reach over US$482 billion in 2022.” Clearly the use of cloud services is on the rise. But what are cloud services exactly, and why are they beneficial? # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Red_Hat_Summit_2022:_Session catalog_and_agenda_builder_now_available!⠀⇛ As you may have heard, Red Hat Summit 2022 is coming up, and it’s coming up fast. So fast, in fact, that our session catalog and agenda builder are now up and available for you to use and peruse. If you haven’t registered yet, now’s the time! Red Hat Summit 2022 is taking place May 10-11, and all sessions are available for virtual participants. You can sign up and get started here: Red Hat Summit 2022 registration. # § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Magazine ☛ Debian_11.3_Released_With_Numerous Bug_and_Security_Fixes⠀⇛ The developers of Debian have been hard at work patching several security vulnerabilities and fixing bugs for the latest point release of their venerable Linux distribution. This new release fixes numerous security issues surrounding Apache’s Log4j (such as CVE-2021-4104 CVE-2022-23302 CVE- 2022-23305 CVE-2022-23307) and includes other security patches for the likes of ClamAV, FLAC, GLibc, Golong, XTerm, atftp, eguardian, glewlwyd, gnupg2, and htmldoc. Although this release doesn’t bring to light any new features, it’s still a very important release and all Debian 11 users should not hesitate to upgrade (especially those who use Debian with the Apache webserver). # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Debian_vs._Ubuntu_Linux:_Which_Distro Should_You_Choose?⠀⇛ If you’re looking for a Linux distribution, you’ve likely seen recommendations for both Debian or Ubuntu. Their similarities, and the fact that Ubuntu is technically based on Debian, blur the lines between them. Let’s explore the important differences. If the device you want to install Linux on is light on resources, you’ll want to note Debian and Ubuntu’s differing minimum requirements. A Debian 11 desktop install requires at least a 1GHz processor, 1GB RAM, and 10GB storage. Ubuntu Desktop more than doubles those requirements with a 2GHz dual- core processor, 4GB of RAM, and 25GB of disk space. # § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_22.04’s_Snap-Only_Software_Store is_a_Bug,_Not_a_Feature⠀⇛ And technically, they’re not wrong! At the time I write this the latest up-to-date builds of Ubuntu 22.04 do not let you do any of that. But don’t panic: it is a bug. While some may want a Snap-only # ⚓ Beta News ☛ High_performance_open_infrastructure comes_to_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Canonical has announced the general availability of OpenStack Yoga on Ubuntu 22.04 Long Term Support (LTS) Beta and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. What does this mean? Yoga, the latest version of OpenStack, provides a foundation for next- generation, highly performant infrastructure as needed by telco NFV (Network Functions Visualization), media streaming, traffic analysis and high-performance computing (HPC) services. With OpenStack network components running on smart network interface cards (SmartNICs), users can benefit from lower latency, higher throughput, and better quality of services. # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Ubuntu_22.04_LTS_Beta_Released_with_GNOME 42_Desktop,_Linux_Kernel_5.15_LTS⠀⇛ With only three weeks before the final release, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS beta is here for early adopters and public beta testers who want to see for themselves what the Ubuntu developers have been working on for the past several months. Powered by the long-term supported Linux 5.15 LTS kernel series, which brings a brand-new implementation of the NTFS file system to let you read and write data to such drives, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS beta ships with the latest and greatest GNOME 42 desktop environment by default with the triple buffering patch. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Next_versions_of_both_Fedora_and Ubuntu_head_into_beta⠀⇛ Late April should see the release of the 36th versions of two of the biggest Linux distros: Fedora 36 and Ubuntu 22.04. Red Hat just announced the official beta of Fedora 36, whereas Ubuntu 22.04 should hit beta freeze on March 31. These are both quite mature products now. Both organizations generally put out new versions twice a year, as does the GNOME Project. Fedora Core 1 appeared a year before the first release of Ubuntu, 4.10, but Fedora’s release cycle is less regular than Ubuntu’s: some years have seen one release of Fedora, and some three. Both versions default to using GNOME 42 on top of the Wayland display server, so they have quite similar desktops. The final release of Fedora is planned for April 19, 2022, and if there are problems, it may slip to April 26. Ubuntu 22.04 is scheduled in between, for April 21. We gave both a quick test drive in identically configured VirtualBox VMs, with two CPUs, 16GB drives, and with 3D acceleration enabled. # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_22.04_Beta_Released,_Available_to Download⠀⇛ Yes, the Ubuntu 22.04 beta is now available to download. Its arrival gives developers and non-developers alike the chance to jump in and try the “Jammy Jellyfish” ahead of its planned stable release on April 21, 2022. Although not usually recommended, you can install this Ubuntu 22.04 beta as your main OS and upgrade to the final, finished version (when it arrives). How? Just install all updates pushed out to the release from now until release, and you’ll have it — easy! # ⚓ Its FOSS ☛ Ubuntu_22.04_Beta_is_Available_Now_for Earlybirds⠀⇛ Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is arguably the most anticipated release next month. So far, we have been looking at all the features arriving with Ubuntu 22.04 using the daily builds. Now, finally, the beta version of Ubuntu 22.04 LTS has arrived! If you were hesitant to test the daily builds, you can try the beta build for testing. # ⚓ Ubuntu_Studio_22.04_LTS_Beta_Released⠀⇛ The Ubuntu Studio team is pleased to announce the beta release of Ubuntu Studio 22.04 LTS, codenamed “Jammy Jellyfish”. While this beta is reasonably free of any showstopper DVD build or installer bugs, you may find some bugs within. This image is, however, reasonably representative of what you will find when Ubuntu Studio 22.04 LTS is released on October 22, 2021. Ubuntu Studio 22.04 LTS will be Ubuntu Studio’s first Long-Term Support(LTS) release with the KDE Plasma Desktop Environment. # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Ubuntu_22.04_LTS_Beta_Released_with_GNOME 42_Desktop,_Linux_Kernel_5.15_LTS⠀⇛ With only three weeks before the final release, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS beta is here for early adopters and public beta testers who want to see for themselves what the Ubuntu developers have been working on for the past several months. Powered by the long-term supported Linux 5.15 LTS kernel series, which brings a brand-new implementation of the NTFS file system to let you read and write data to such drives, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS beta ships with the latest and greatest GNOME 42 desktop environment by default with the triple buffering patch. # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Deepin_20.5_Released_with_Face Recognition⠀⇛ Deepin is a Chinese-made Linux distribution aimed at the average desktop computer user. However, it is a popular choice among users who want a beautiful and stable Linux. Beauty is a tradition to Deepin. The distro features its desktop environment called DDE (Deepin Desktop Environment), one of, if not the best-looking Linux desktop environments. With the latest release of Deepin 20.5, it’s better than ever before. Without a doubt, it is one of the most beautiful Linux distros based on the stable branch of Debian. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ A_guide_to_Linux_for_embedded_applications⠀⇛ An embedded device is a hardware and software system that performs a dedicated function within a larger computer system. It is typically resource- constrained and comprises a processing engine. The software of an embedded Linux system runs on top of the Linux kernel, the fundamental core of the OS with complete control over everything occurring in the system. It follows an embedded Linux system simply denotes an embedded system running on the Linux kernel. What makes Linux for embedded applications special? Let’s find out! # § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ The_Best_Apps_For_Drawing_On_Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ OxygenOS_12_w/_Android_12_out_for_T- Mobile_OnePlus_9/Pro_–_9to5Google⠀⇛ # ⚓ XDA ☛ Stable_Android_12_update_rolling_out_to_Xperia 10_III_and_Xperia_Pro-I⠀⇛ # ⚓ Geeky Gadgets ☛ How_to_speed_up_your_Android_phone_or tablet_–_Geeky_Gadgets⠀⇛ # ⚓ PR Newswire ☛ iMobie_Updates_DroidKit_2.0_To_Make_It A_More_Comprehensive_Solution_for_All_Android_Issues⠀⇛ # ⚓ CNET ☛ OnePlus_10_Pro_Review:_Great_Android_Phone Needs_a_Few_Tweaks_–_CNET⠀⇛ # ⚓ CNET ☛ How_to_mirror_an_Android_device_on_your_TV_– CNET⠀⇛ # ⚓ InfoQ ☛ How_Lyft_Reduced_its_Android_App_Launch_Time By_21%_in_One_Month⠀⇛ # ⚓ 5_Great_Strategy_Games_for_Android_–_Phandroid⠀⇛ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ Android_Auto_‘Media_picks’_appear_for more_users_globally_–_9to5Google⠀⇛ # ⚓ TechRadar ☛ OnePlus_10_Pro_launch_live:_get_ready_for the_next_huge_Android_phone_to_arrive_|_TechRadar⠀⇛ o § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ # § Productivity Software/LibreOffice/Calligra⠀➾ # ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ LibreOffice_7.3.2_Community available_for_download⠀⇛ LibreOffice 7.3.2 Community, the second 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/. The LibreOffice 7.3 family offers the highest level of compatibility in the office suite market segment, starting with native support for the OpenDocument Format (ODF) – beating proprietary formats in the areas of security and robustness – to superior support for DOCX, XLSX and PPTX files. # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ LibreOffice_7.3.2_Office_Suite_Is_Now Available_for_Download_with_74_Bug_Fixes⠀⇛ Arriving a month after LibreOffice 7.3’s first point release, LibreOffice 7.3.2 is here as the second minor maintenance update of the LibreOffice 7.3 office suite series to address even more of those pesky bugs and fix various annoyances. According to the RC1 and RC2 changelogs, there are a total of 74 bug fixes included in the LibreOffice 7.3.2 release, which is now available for download for DEB and RPM-based GNU/Linux distributions from the official website. # ⚓ Document Foundation ☛ Writer_Guide_7.3_–_The_Document Foundation_Blog⠀⇛ The Documentation team is happy to announce the immediate availability of the Writer Guide 7.3. # ⚓ llunak:_Clang_14_faster_at_building_LibreOffice⠀⇛ So I’ve updated my Clang to the newly released version 14, and while doing the LibreOffice rebuild afterwards I noticed that it seemed to build faster. I didn’t measure it, but the build finished sooner than I expected. So of course I’ve measured it. As a simple reference I used my year-old post about Clang 11 building faster with PCH, where Calc’c Library_sc built in 4 minutes and 39 seconds. # ⚓ Recent_Contributions_from_Collabora_to_LibreOffice_– Collabora_Office_and_Collabora_Online⠀⇛ We’re continually contributing improvements to the LibreOffice code-base as a member of the community (Collabora Online Forum). Here are a few highlights of the last week’s work on behalf of our customers. [...] Over the last couple of weeks Luboš Luňák (Llunak) has been working for Collabora on the 16k columns support in Calc. There’s been a lot of work on this already by Noel Grandin and others, but so far this has been hidden behind the experimental option, and normally documents open only with the “normal” 1024 columns support. The goal of this work is to finish the 16k support stable enough for it to be the default, so that people who need this many columns can finally get them without any complications. # § FSFE⠀➾ # ⚓ FSFE ☛ Artificial_Intelligence_(AI)_Act:_Free Software_is_key!_–_FSFE⠀⇛ In the effort of adopting digital policies aligned with people’s fundamental rights, the European Parliament is in the process of finding a position on the legal framework for the development and use of AI technologies. The FSFE is following this process so Free Software is included, innovation is fostered, control enhanced, and trust strengthened. It is clear that digital technologies are advancing at a fast pace, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no exception. Technical improvements, the accumulation of large, detailed datasets and advancement in computer hardware have led to an AI revolution. However, these technologies are a double- edged sword: they have the potential to bring benefits to peoples’ lives and to the economy, but also to lead to harmful discrimination and human rights violations. That is the reason we call attention to the important role that Free Software plays in this regard. There is a need for verifiable and trustworthy AI technologies, and Free Software is crucial to achieve this. Our demands in this regard are based on three pillars; innovation, control, and trustworthiness. # § FSF⠀➾ # ⚓ Lightning_Talks⠀⇛ Every year, LibrePlanet organizers ask the free software community for short talks called “lightning talks.” Below are the submissions we received in 2022. All speakers agreed to licensing their work under a CC BY- SA 4.0 license. # ⚓ LibrePlanet_2022_Closing_Remarks_—_GNU_MediaGoblin⠀⇛ Greg Farough gives a final wrap-up of the LibrePlanet 2022 conference events. # § Licensing/Legal⠀➾ # ⚓ An_Erroneous_Preliminary_Injunction_Granted_in Neo4j_v._PureThink⠀⇛ We at Software Freedom Conservancy proudly and vigilantly watch out for your rights under copyleft licenses such as the Affero GPLv3. Toward this goal, we have studied the Neo4j, Inc. v. PureThink, LLC ongoing case in the Northern District of California , and the preliminary injunction appeal decision in the Ninth Circuit Court this month. The case is complicated, and we’ve seen much understandable confusion in the public discourse about the status of the case and the impact of the Ninth Circuit’s decision to continue the trial court’s preliminary injunction while the case continues. While it’s true that part of the summary judgment decision in the lower court bodes badly for an important provision in AGPLv3§7¶4, the good news is that the case is not over, nor was the appeal (decided this month) even an actual appeal of the decision itself! This lawsuit is far from completion. # § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 5_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Continuous Integration_Systems⠀⇛ Continuous integration (CI) is the practice of merging all developers’ working copies to a shared mainline several times a day. Modern application development dictates that multiple developers work simultaneously on different aspects of the same app. If the various code changes are merged on a merge day, the resulting work is often tedious, time-consuming, and manual. The longer development continues on a branch without merging back to the mainline, the greater the risk of multiple integration conflicts and failures when the developer branch is eventually merged back. This is even more likely if each developer uses their own local integrated development environment (IDE) rather than a single cloud-based IDE. # ⚓ Top_10_opensource_bug_and_issue_tracking_tools_for Linux⠀⇛ Software developers and engineers alike dedicate time to designing projects to get them right. However, any project implementation is going to have unforeseen challenges and issues. Challenges are always around. However, a good measure of resiliency for any project, business model, or organization is not how well it handles things when everything is planned but when speed bumps come along. An issue or bug tracker is a critical tool for software development and project management workflows. An issue tracker allows developers to open, track, and resolve bugs collaboratively while making it easy to track the progress. Bug trackers encompass many options focused on meeting specific needs, features, and use cases, including but not limited to software development or project management. # ⚓ Medevel ☛ 17_Top_YouTube_Channels_to_learn_Flutter development_for_beginners_and_experts⠀⇛ Flutter is a trending open-source UI software development kit for building cross-platform apps for mobile, desktop, and the web. It is originally developed by Google to help developers use a single codebase for building multiplatform apps. Flutter is released under the new BSD license, and it is written in Dart, C, and C++ languages. # ⚓ Qt ☛ Extended_lifetime_for_Qt_5.15⠀⇛ We know our customers will keep using 5.15 for a long time as product life cycles, especially embedded business, are sometimes very long. The Qt Company has decided to extend the Qt 5.15 Long Term Support (LTS) with patch releases to five years, prolonging the life of Qt 5.15 until 26 May 2025. This extension of the LTS is available for those with subscription licenses. # ⚓ Qt ☛ Qt_for_MCUs_2.1_released⠀⇛ We’re excited to announce that Qt for MCUs 2.1 is now available! This release offers new options to decrease your application’s footprint, a new text rendering feature, and new examples and documentation to help you during development. # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ How_to_Concatenate_columns_in PySpark_DataFrame⠀⇛ In Python, PySpark is a Spark module used to provide a similar kind of Processing like spark using DataFrame. We can concatenate two or more columns in a DataFrame using two methods. They are concat() and concat_ws(). These are the methods available in pyspark.sql.functions module. Before going to know these methods, let’s create a PySpark DataFrame. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Not-Always_Online_Computing⠀⇛ Moving back to my old Asus Netbook also means I have to have a USB network card connected whenever I want to get online. No big deal, except it sticks out quite a bit and I keep worrying that it might break. To maximize my freedom of movement I decided that whatever I could easily do offline I should. As I’ve mentioned before I usually mount my servers using autofs+sshfs, which means I always have access to them. Because of this I’ve gotten into the habit of saving virtually nothing personal or important on my laptop. After all, the servers are just other folders in my filesystem and I’ve always been online. o ⚓ One_Year_on_Gemini⠀⇛ Rob’s Gemini Capsule launched one year ago today. In some ways, it’s hard to believe that I’ve been active on Gemini for that long. I’ve posted a lot of content and I’ve read far more, but it still feels like I haven’t actually done very much. I still feel humbled and honored when I see a response to anything I’ve written. Perhaps that’s due to the intentional nature of small Web communities like Gopher and Gemini, in which shallow comments and like counters are eschewed for thoughtful, profound discussions. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Yale_finance_director_stole_$40m_in computers_to_resell_on_the_sly⠀⇛ A now-former finance director stole tablet computers and other equipment worth $40 million from the Yale University School of Medicine, and resold them for a profit. Jamie Petrone, 42, on Monday pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of filing a false tax return, crimes related to the theft of thousands of electronic devices from her former employer. As director of finance and administration in the Department of Emergency Medicine, Petrone, of Lithia Springs, Georgia, was able to purchase products for her organization without approval if the each order total was less than $10,000. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ TSMC_sees_slowdown_in_demand_for_PCs, smartphones⠀⇛ Chipmaking giant TSMC says China’s COVID lockdowns slowed PC and smartphone demand, but given the Taiwanese outfit already struggles to meet demand, company chair Mark Liu was unfussed by the dip. Speaking informally at the Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association’s general meeting, Liu painted an overall rosy picture of TSMC’s current state – but admitted challenges created by tensions between the US and China, as well as COVID-19. o § Integrity/Availability⠀➾ # § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Windows_11_growth_at_a_standstill amid_stringent_hardware_requirements [Ed: Dishonest excuses_and_Microsoft_spin]⠀⇛ The growth of Microsoft’s flagship operating system, Windows 11, appears to be slowing if figures from AdDuplex are to be believed. Instead, Windows 10 continues to dominate, an indicator that either users are not upgrading or – and this is probably more likely – Microsoft’s stringent hardware compatibility requirements are keeping the operating system off users’ PCs. # § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Google ☛ Project_Zero:_FORCEDENTRY:_Sandbox Escape⠀⇛ We want to thank Citizen Lab for sharing a sample of the FORCEDENTRY exploit with us, and Apple’s Security Engineering and Architecture (SEAR) group for collaborating with us on the technical analysis. Any editorial opinions reflected below are solely Project Zero’s and do not necessarily reflect those of the organizations we collaborated with during this research. Late last year we published a writeup of the initial remote code execution stage of FORCEDENTRY, the zero-click iMessage exploit attributed by Citizen Lab to NSO. By sending a .gif iMessage attachment (which was really a PDF) NSO were able to remotely trigger a heap buffer overflow in the ImageIO JBIG2 decoder. They used that vulnerability to bootstrap a powerful weird machine capable of loading the next stage in the infection process: the sandbox escape. # ⚓ Google ☛ What_to_Expect_from_Privacy_Sandbox Testing⠀⇛ We’re excited to share that Chrome is starting the next stage of testing for the Privacy Sandbox ads relevance and measurement proposals. Starting today, developers can begin testing globally the Topics, FLEDGE, and Attribution Reporting APIs in the Canary version of Chrome. We’ll progress to a limited number of Chrome Beta users as soon as possible. Once things are working smoothly in Beta, we’ll make API testing available in the stable version of Chrome to expand testing to more Chrome users. # ⚓ The_reality_of_OT_segregation⠀⇛ e of the areas I find most fascinating about industrial control systems and related operational technology is the perception that OT networks are segregated and isolated from the wider IT network. We’re often told that “IT and OT are totally separated” as there’s a genuine belief that OT is isolated for reasons of security. We have tested very few environments where this is actually the case. Siloed approaches to IT and OT are still remarkably common: OT engineers have almost completely different challenges and use different sets of network protocols to IT engineers. As a result, a lack of common understanding has become embedded over the years, reinforcing those silos. However, business needs and additional functionality from OT vendors have resulted in the segregation between OT and IT being broken down or otherwise exposed, accidentally or not. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Chrome_Zero-Day_from_North Korea [Ed: This issue was “Made in USA”, but Schneier points the finger at those alleged to have taken advantage of it (probably very unreliable and politically-motivated evidence)]⠀⇛ North Korean hackers have been exploiting a zero-day in Chrome. # ⚓ CISA ☛ PTC_Axeda_agent_and_Axeda_Desktop_Server (Update_C)⠀⇛ ATTENTION: Exploitable remotely/low attack complexity [...] Windows: All versions # ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Thursday_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by Debian (libgc and pjproject), Fedora (cobbler, mingw-openjpeg2, and openjpeg2), Mageia (openvpn), openSUSE (abcm2ps, fish3, icingaweb2, kernel- firmware, nextcloud, openSUSE-build- key, python2-numpy, salt, and zlib), Slackware (vim), SUSE (kernel-firmware, opensc, python2-numpy, python3, salt, and zlib), and Ubuntu (dosbox, linux, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-hwe-5.13, linux-hwe-5.4, linux- kvm, linux-oracle, linux-oracle-5.4, linux, linux-aws, linux-azure-4.15, linux-dell300x, linux-hwe, linux-kvm, linux-snapdragon, rsync, twisted, and zlib). o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Meta_accused_of_hiring_Republican consultancy_to_seed_anti-TikTok_rumors⠀⇛ Facebook parent Meta, which has been struggling to compete against TikTok, has reportedly been paying a Republican-oriented consulting firm to encourage negative media reports about the Chinese-owned rival. According to The Washington Post, Targeted Victory, a firm founded by Zac Moffatt, former digital director of Republican Senator Mitt Romney’s 2012 White House run, has been working for Meta to place and promote articles designed to turn the American public against TikTok. This would be done by, for instance, writing letters to editors, and submitting op-ed columns, calling for something to be done about bad things happening on TikTok, it’s said. This coverage would then be used to fuel more anti-TikTok messaging. o § Misinformation/Disinformation⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Russia,_Iran,_Saudi_Arabia_are_top sources_of_online_misinformation [Ed: Of course Australia would not rank UK and US. They probably outnumber the rest by far. OUR misinformation is "well-meaning". THEIRS is "evil". But of course we also like to project this idea that theirs is false and ours is not. This study on misinformation is itself misinformation.]⠀⇛ Russia, Iran and Saudi Arabia are the top three proliferators of state-linked Twitter misinformation campaigns, according to a report released Wednesday by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI). The think tank’s International Cyber Policy Centre report and corresponding website examined datasets in Twitter’s Information Operations Archive to understand state willingness, capability and intent to drive disinformation campaigns. While Russia, Iran and Saudi Arabia scored first, second and third, respectively, in terms of number of campaigns out of the 17 countries examined, China and Venezuela filled the next two places on the list. Most of the countries’ efforts (9 out of 17) reached their apex in 2019. China peaked in May of that year with 158,611 tweets that month, and Saudi Arabia in October with 2.3 million. A Serbian operation sent the most tweets in one month: 2.7 million in February 2019. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Google_unrolls_search_features_to_tackle misinformation⠀⇛ Further embracing its unspoken role as arbiter of truth, Google has unrolled some new search result features to help users “sort out what information is credible and what isn’t.” o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ How_do_kids_conceive_the_internet?⠀⇛ So, what do kids of that generation really know about the internet, beyond purely using services they do not control? In order to find out, I decided to interview children between 10 and 18. I conducted 5 interviews with kids aged 9, 10, 12, 15 and 17, two boys and three girls. Two live in rural Germany, one in a German urban area, and two live in the French capital. I wrote the questions in a way to stimulate the interviewees to tell me a story each time. I also told them that the interview is not a test and that there are no wrong answers. Except for the 9 year old, all interviewees possessed both, their own smartphone and their own laptop. All of them used the internet mostly for chatting, entertainment (video and music streaming, online games), social media (TikTok, Instagram, Youtube), and instant messaging. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 6555 ➮ Generation completed at 02:42, i.e. 112 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
