offices". Last year it was 9 computers, now it's down to 7 (laptops) and they're constantly wired/connected to half a dozen external monitors. They work non-stop, albeit some go to sleep if unused for a period of time. Each of these produces heat, some more than others (depending on activity too, as modern PCs throttle down or re-scale CPU clock speeds). Let's consider the amount of heat they can emit*. Depending on the type of computer, screen size etc. the emissions of heat will vary. Using TVs (or "smart" TVs) as a reference, some_dudes_online say that nearly all energy entered into the screen (TV) will be released as heat. "Obviously," a dude said, "some of the energy is given off as light and sound but the majority is emitted immediately as heat. I’d guess at around 90% so if your TV rating plate states 30 Watts maximum, the heat generated will be less than 27 Watts." Based on intuition and common sense, this isn't far from the truth and the same goes for laptops, where a lot of energy is consumed (when idle) by the monitor that's built in. Now, suppose you have over a dozen activated monitors in a room or two. Suppose some are taking up just 20 Watts each, on_average. That makes a total of around 200 Watts, more than what the aquarium makes if it works non-stop to warm up the water. A decent heating device can operate at 1,000 Watts or more (as high as 2,000 or above), but for a couple of rooms (or a floor) not that much is needed. That means that insulation alone (in a room with many computers) can be OK in a night with outdoor temperatures close to -10**. Accounting for factors other than energy emissions, it can be a "breeze", relatively speaking, so a lot of energy get recycled or reused. More than 20 years ago when I worked at MCC (not accidentally the name of the first GNU/Linux distro***, ever!) our offices were attached through the shaft to the detacentre feeding off JANET. The offices - including mine (I had my own office at age 21) - were heated by using energy from servers in that detacentre. We should still be able to do this. In cold days there's no point spewing out the energy outwards rather than inwards. █ _____ * Set aside factors such as body heat (clothing too), double glazing (insulation), the 200 Watts heater inside the aquarium, hot beverages, radiator (or central heating) etc. ** This is relevant today because from almost 20 degrees last_January (in the north) we've fallen to -8 as expected tonight for Manchester ("temperatures set to plummet as low as minus 16C in some areas," says local_news). It's hard to recall a night (or day) this cold here, but it's not unprecedented. *** Owen, who was my colleague at MCC for several years, had created MCC. After all those years he's still in the the University of Manchester (or Victoria University of Manchester, prior to the UMIST merger). ⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢂⢱⠈⢉⠁⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣟⣿⡟⠠⠈⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⢽⣭⣖⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠾⣧⣤⣷⣤⣊⠖⢂⠀⠐⢂⠁ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡣⢼⡾⠾⡯⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⢿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⢿⠿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣧⡤⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠚⠮⠁⠀⠐⠃⠐⠛⠚⢡⣩⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢯⢭⣷⣿⢿⣿⡿⠿⣛⣲⣷⣄⠀⠀⠠⠄ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠙⠚⠛⠈⠁⠀⠂⣠⡀⣿⢞⣻⡯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣬⣽⢿⣿⣟⣏⢽⠽⣆⣠⠖⠪⠝⢽⠷⠍⠐⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⡚⣻⡿⢿⣿⡿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⢿⣿⡯⠯⢰⣥⣭⢝⣘⣲⣠⣤⠄⠀⠈⠈⠂⢀⣄ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠨⣿⣭⡛⡟⢿⠿⢳⣻⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣾⣾⣿⣭⡦⣙⣷⣮⣂⠡⢶⣆⣖⡮⢁⣀⠀⠈⠐⢂⣩ ⠀⣉⠐⠖⠊⠁⠀⢀⣠⣴⣶⢿⢏⢉⢛⣋⣩⡭⡿⣶⣿⣾⣽⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣫⣻⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣯⣭⣙⣿⠿⣾⡿⠓⡫⠫⡟⠁⠀⠈⠀⠀⢾⣟⡳ ⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⢀⣊⠉⠀⠤⣤⢰⣦⡉⡟⢋⣕⣇⣟⣒⣿⣶⡞⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣶⠶⠿⣯⣿⣟⣅⢝⠑⠂⠁⢐⢀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄ ⠀⠠⠄⠑⠀⠀⠊⠀⠁⠀⠙⠁⢃⠚⢠⣤⠒⠚⡗⡿⣇⢛⢵⣚⣺⣒⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡻⢿⣟⣚⣻⣿⣿⣽⣽⡿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢷⣶⡆⠊⠭⠬⠭⢩⢠⣂⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠠⡀⠄⠀⢀⢤⣄⠉⠉⠐⡠⢀⠪⠉⠑⠂⠗⠳⣹⢟⣞⣓⣒⣶⣿⣽⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣻⣿⣯⡽⢿⢛⣿⣶⣿⠥⠩⠭⠍⣀⡼⢄⣀⡀⠡⢒⡦ ⠈⡄⠀⠀⠖⠲⡆⢠⡀⣙⣉⠤⣤⢤⠀⠀⠑⠀⠸⠭⠓⣊⣶⣺⡟⢻⢛⣙⣚⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⡟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡻⡿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣾⣿⣾⣿⣽⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠠⠐⢎⣟⡛⠂⠒⢓ ⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠈⠟⠧⠛⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⢀⡀⣽⣿⣟⠍⡀⠸⣍⣢⣶⡘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣯⣭⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣿⣿⣯⣽⡿⣶⣦⣞⣋⣛⠸⣽⡌⢫⣫⣿⣿⠟⠁⡾⠃⠀⠨⠡⠅⠐⢒ ⠁⠈⠀⡄⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠾⠓⠋⡓⠒⠘⣽⣿⣷⣒⢌⢭⠙⡇⠷⡹⠿⠿⣷⣖⣿⣟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢿⣿⣻⣿⣭⣿⣿⠾⢯⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⢾⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⠿⡟⡿⢝⠅⠄⠈⠀⠐⠀⢅⠅⠄⠀ ⠀⠰⠐⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠠⠄⠠⣤⠄⠀⠀⠈⡛⢿⢿⢷⣲⣦⡈⣛⣇⣒⣷⣬⣭⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣟⣛⢛⣻⣷⣿⣽⢿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠞⠶⣶⣷⣻⣛⠛⣯⠏⣬⣮⠖⡁⠂⠈⠂⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀ ⠀⠀⠂⠖⠜⠄⠐⠕⠌⡂⠆⣄⢀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠂⢂⠈⢀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡈⠉⠯⡚⣿⡿⡿⠿⡻⣽⣿⣾⣿⣿⣽⣿⢗⣻⢿⣷⣿⡭⣿⣽⣿⢖⢿⣟⣷⣝⣚⡊⣛⣿⣞⡧⡍⠭⣟⠼⢩⣀⠀⢭⠙⠛⠁⠰⢶⡦⠀⣀⠀ ⠂⠂⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠓⠓⠲⠚⠋⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠓⠒⠘⣀⡸⡘⣀⠶⠬⡈⡀⠽⣕⠒⢠⠨⢻⣿⣿⣷⡷⣿⣳⢍⣽⣭⣧⡶⢞⠯⡷⢝⣟⣓⢿⢽⡭⡥⢽⡟⣳⠲⠐⣲⢈⡹⠤⡔⠀⡂⡂⡀⣉⡁⠀⠀⠰⠀⣀ ⠀⢄⠠⣀⣀⣘⣂⡀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡤⠀⠀⠀⣶⠿⠻⠟⢭⡍⠟⠉⢞⣧⣆⠆⠊⠌⢧⠳⢿⢾⢭⣭⡹⣻⢶⣮⠯⠽⢿⡫⡏⣧⣻⣿⢾⡠⡽⡻⡲⡔⠲⠼⠿⠑⠆⠕⣠⢃⠀⠰⠀⠓⡀⠐⢀⡿⠒⠂⠐⠀⠋ ⣤⡀⠈⠈⠌⠙⡿⡀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣠⣇⠉⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠁⢰⠍⠀⠐⡂⠠⠈⡍⠘⡊⣱⢚⢞⡦⣉⢑⣒⣆⡤⠲⠓⠟⣽⡟⣿⣿⡿⢕⡉⢭⠾⡆⣠⠑⠄⠓⠜⢉⠛⠿⠄⠬⠁⢈⣀⡈⡒⠠⠀⠀⠑⠁⠌⠈⠀⡄ ⠀⣀⣤⣅⡀⠀⢁⡀⠰⠮⠂⢦⡍⣁⢼⠯⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⡆⠘⡒⠃⠀⠀⣣⠀⠎⠷⠐⢧⢊⡀⠠⠾⠮⠣⡐⠔⠐⡉⠊⢯⣁⠚⢟⢍⣩⣶⣦⠀⣄⠹⣬⣯⡧⡀⢢⣦⣼⣬⠀⠠⢉⠁⡀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⢨⠀⠀ ⠘⠛⠋⠁⠀⠠⠒⠂⠔⢠⣲⡐⠦⡀⢐⢻⣿⠏⠀⠤⠈⢳⠅⠂⠛⠐⠁⠄⡙⠃⢀⠑⡃⠊⠉⡀⠀⠔⡀⡠⢀⠊⠟⡂⢜⠕⠈⢠⢥⣤⡁⠊⠐⢢⠚⡢⠝⢿⣛⠈⢠⢭⢩⠥⠀⠄⡀⠂⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⢑⣾⣷⣆ ⠀⠆⠠⢠⠀⣀⠀⠐⠦⣜⣩⢶⣶⡨⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠠⠆⠅⠀⡀⠀⢠⠈⠩⠂⡒⠄⠁⠀⡀⠀⢀⢀⠀⠢⢐⠈⢁⠀⠢⠆⠄⠀⢀⠀⠁⠄⠠⠀⠐⡐⡀⠀⠀⠀⠊⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁ ⠰⠂⠐⠀⠿⠷⢽⣧⣤⠁⠂⠖⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⡘⠈⡄⠀⠈⠄⠂⢒⢦⠉⠁⠑⠅⢁⠀⡀⠈⠀⢄⠂⠀⢆⠀⡀⡁⠠⠀⠀⢈⠋⠚⠓⡀⠈⠀⡀⠀⡀⠰⡄⠝⠀⠀ ⠁⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢟⠋⣤⣡⣄⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣮⣴⣶⣆⠀⢀⠈⠈⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠶⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢁⠄⠠⠠⡤⠉⠀⡄⢰⣶⣶⠐⠈⠨⢋⠀⡠⠀⣮⠉⢈⠰⣠⣾⠡⠁⠀⣀⠀⡂⠀⠀⠀⢀⣻⡀⠀⠀ ⡀⠀⠁⢠⠖⠦⠀⠙⣺⠍⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡤⢬⠟⠿⠯⠃⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠐⠁⠀⠀⢡⣶⡮⡤⠈⠀⠀⠈⡁⡽⠿⠂⡄⠐⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠐⡀⠀⠫⣣⣶⣲⡚⠀⠀⠀⢀⣔⢤⡁⠋⠀⠐ ⣻⣣⠀⠠⠤⠀⠰⠶⢸⣥⡌⢀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠦⢀⡉⠛⠬⠀⠐⠁⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⡀⡀⡐⠶⠠⠀⠀⠐⠀⠂⢈⠀⠌⢽⢵⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠈⠪⢄⠈⢗⠂⣾⣿⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⠀ ⠀⣘⡠⠅⠂⠁⢀⢀⡛⡩⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⠿⡇⠰⠂⠀⠀⠈⠓⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢄⠀⠀⡀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠢⠂⠀⠀⠐⠂⠀⠀⣘⣺⣯⣞⠠⠀⠁⠹⣿⣿⣦⡹⡆ ⠄⠂⠀⠀⠁⢁⠀⠛⡎⠛⠈⠉⣷⡢⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠁⠁⠀⠀⢀⠠⢒⡀⠁⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢄⡦⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⢅⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡛⡟⠟⢭⡦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠐⢦⡏ ⠀⠀⡁⠀⠄⠽⠛⠁⠃⠀⠀⠀⢠⣀⠦⢀⠀⢀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠂⠀⠀⠁⠀⠁⠀⢆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠨⡩⠀⠠⣤⡄⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠐⠐⠀⠄⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠢⠌⣂⣒ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 359 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/01/09/Draft_About_Drafts.shtml Gemini version at https://techrights.org/n/2025/01/09/Draft_About_Drafts.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Draft About Drafts⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 09, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Alpacas⦈_ The static_site_generator (SSG) is improving AS mentioned some days ago (at least in passing), we had become interested in improving the site's workflow some more and began implementing draft functionality in the SSG. Earlier this week we began testing it on a test server and today we pushed to live. This_article was the first to use the drafting mechanism. The SSG was first created in the summer of 2022 and deployed to Tux Machines about a month after a first "stable" (ish) version became available. It has improved since then, but changes were modest and prudent. We don't want to risk breaking what's on the live servers. Sure, we have decent backups, but they're a safety net that's a last resort. What does the new functionality mean? Well, it means that peer-review or auditing of upcoming articles by multiple authors is now possible. It also means that drafting can be done in nano (the editor) on the server instead of on desktops/laptops 'offline'. For multi-editor site the new functionality will have many uses. █ ⣤⣄⣈⡿⣥⣴⡻⣧⣈⣺⣶⣷⡥⢭⣬⡽⣿⣿⣗⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡍⡿⡄⢨⡿⢩⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣾⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠄⠈⠙⢷⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡟⡁⠀⠄⠀⠩⣿⣳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡖⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣼⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠳⠀⠰⠚⠷⠛⢻⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣽⣿⢿⢯⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⠀⣠⣤⡠⡤⠶⠻⠧⣟⣻⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠯⠿⣿⢿⢈⠈⡿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⢹ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢛⣦⣮⣾⠦⢀⠭⣿⣾⣆⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣵⣼⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣽⣥⣿⣿⣿⣾ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⡯⢏⠝⠋⡕⡔⣾⣿⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⠛⠻⠃⠋⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠚⠃⠀⠩⠛⢻⣿⣼⠤⠐⡺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⢀⠀⣠⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⢁⣿⡿⠛⢻⣿⣥⡄⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠈⠉⣁⠀⠤⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠙⠋⠉⠉⠐⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠋⢄⠀⠁⢈⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠙⢹⣿⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣀⣿⣿⣦⣄⢀⠩⠻⢿⡿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣾ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣸⡆⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠐⠝⠁⠀⠀⠚⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢻⣷⣶⣷⠦⡐⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣸⡻ ⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠁⠀⣀⣿⣿⣿⡧⠄⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⢀⢀⡈⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⢯⣿ ⠀⠀⠉⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠄⠤⠈⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣙⣿⣿⣿⡛⠛⣿⣯⠳⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣾⣿⣿⣟⣧⢯ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠘⢿⠀⠀⠹⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⠿⠦⠱⠁⢏⡇⠉⢹⡍⠹⠍⡏⣻⡿⠛⡽⣿⠯⡒ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢻⡿⣿⣁⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⡀⠙⢏⠉⠃⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠰⣶⣦⠀⠚⠻⠿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠘⠉⢌⠉⠻⡄⠂⠈⠄⠁ ⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⠐⠀⠁⠀⠸⢟⣙⣿⣿⣆⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢄⠎⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⢷⡄⠀⠀⠛⠿⢿⠿⠀⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠅⢋⠁⣀⠁ ⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠋⢻⣿⡇⠀⠁⠀⠊⠠⠀⠀⡁⠀⠄⣐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠃⠉⠉⠁⠈⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢶⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠃⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⠶⢧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⡒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⢩⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡀⠀⠀⠈⠙⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠈⢻⣿⠦⠀⠌⠀⢂⠀⠀⢀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⡩⠀⠄⠀⢀⠀⠀⠄⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠐⠈⠀⡐⠀⠈⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠉⠋⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠈⠁⠐⠀⠊⠀⡀⠀⠀⠐⠄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⣰⡄⣀⣴⠄⠀⠀⠀⠈⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠀⠄⠨⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡀⠀⠐⠀⠐⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠐⠡⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠈⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠁⠀⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠋⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠁⠀⢄⣡⣔⣀⠁⠀⠀⠉⠁⠄⠀⠀⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢾⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠉⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠈⠀⠀⠒⠉⡐⢂⡄⠀⠀⠤⠔⡦⠠⠚⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀ ⠀⠠⠤⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠠⡂⠄⠀⠠⡄⠀⣀⢔⠒⢈⠰⣟⡫⣴⠃⠀⠀⡀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⠀⠀⢸⣿⣧⣄⢄⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠁⠈⠁⠖⠀⢀⡀⠤⠺⡧⠖⠒⠛⠋⠄⠀⢿⠥⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⠘⠁⠀⡌⣿⡿⠚⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 429 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/01/09/Free_Software_Cannot_Rely_on_Politicians_They_Don_t_Even_Care_A.shtml Gemini version at https://techrights.org/n/2025/01/09/Free_Software_Cannot_Rely_on_Politicians_They_Don_t_Even_Care_A.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free Software Cannot Rely on Politicians, They Don't Even Care About Software, They Only or Mostly Care About Money⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 09, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Software_freedom?_What's_that?_Lobbyists_not_found.⦈_ Software Freedom is nice and all, but trying to explain this to politicians (there's_no_"elevator_talk" unless you buy 'dinner' with them) is very hard because they're looking for the smell of money, not sense. Yes, of course there are exceptions, but exceptions do not make up majorities. There's a discussion this week involving Jean Louis and Akira Urushibata [1, 2] and it's partly about explaining Software Freedom. Jean Louis has just told Akira Urushibata: I disagree with that viewpoint. Firstly, advocating for free software is equivalent to standing up for human rights in the present and future. It's not a matter of religious belief, but a reasonable and factual reflection of our society, where programmers and companies often try to control the user and their computing, rather than the user controlling their own computing. I disagree that "free of cost" is the primary draw for free software. I have never seen it that way, but perhaps statistics could provide insight. To me, the appeal of free software is the wide variety of options that aren't available on other systems, and the ideal development environment that can't be found on Windows/OS. However, I haven't used Windoze in 25 years, so I can't speak to its current state. Of course he sort of preached to the choir at libreplanet-discuss, where no politicians or non-techs (barely any) are present. There's no simple solution to this situation short of revolutionising the political system.

His own outfit is running out of money and is deep in_debt, too. It was all over the media last week; more and more press outlets are willing to call it a bubble, a pyramid scheme, hype, or valuation mischief (other so-called "hey hi" companies, now Anthropic, fake their value too... they're not worth 60+ billion dollars just because they managed to raise 2 billion dollars in "investment", i.e. money to lose). Requests made to openai.com were about 3 times higher last year (compared to now) and Microsoft's microsoft.com looks like this: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇microsoft.com_Traffic_and_Engagement_Analysis⦈_ So "Traffic and Engagement" is down by more than 10% in just two months. Don't say "Azure". It's a failure. It has had mass layoffs several times per year since 2020 and Microsoft_is_struggling_in_the_servers_sector because it has nothing genuine to offer (other than some bribes and budget has gotten very tight*). As fewer people still use Windows (over time many move to Android or whatever) that site, microsoft.com, will likely languish some more. What's to be found there? False advertising about "hey hi" in "copilot" clothing? So-called "hey hi" PCs - a concept that makes no sense at all? █ ______ * Not too tight for Microsoft money to be handed over to a law firm that harasses_my_wife and I since February 2024.

Something has been wrong at the EFF for nearly a decade and it got worse when a co-founder died, another one got pushed out (he joined FSF instead), and messaging changed to pursue goals other than the original EFF's. Worse yet, the EFF took money from GAFAM, gave awards for GAFAM objectives (and to GAFAM employees), and published spin_for_GAFAM. Today's EFF is funded_by billionaires. The EFF still asks for donations for ordinary (relatively poor) people, so it doesn't look that way (appearances matter). To the ordinary person, today's EFF isn't a go-to protector, it's just meant to look like one. █ ⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠻⡟⠋⡙⢻⣿⡛⢻⠛⡻⠋⡉⠻⡟⠛⡟⢻⣿⡟⢉⠙⢻⠛⢻⠛⣿⠛⠛⠻⠛⠛⠛⠿⠋⡉⠻⡟⠛⠛⢻⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⡄⠀⣯⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⡇⠀⡇⠀⡇⢸⣿⣧⠈⢀⡇⠀⡇⠀⡇⠀⡇⢸⣿⣇⡈⠒⢾⠀⢸⠀⣿⠀⠃⢀⠀⠘⠀⡀⠀⡇⠀⡇⠀⠁⢼⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠇⠀⣿⠀⢰⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠇⠀⣇⠀⠇⢸⣿⣿⠀⢸⣇⠀⠇⢀⡇⠀⠃⢸⣿⡇⠸⠀⢸⡀⠸⠀⣿⠀⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣇⠀⠇⢀⡇⠀⡇⢸⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢠⣧⣿⢀⢸⣸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠈⣹⣿⡟⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⢉⡍⠉⡍⢹⡏⢉⣹⠉⢉⣹⣿⠉⢠⠈⣿⠉⡉⠙⠉⢉⣹⠉⢉⣹⠁⢠⠈⣯⠉⡏⠉⡟⠁⡄⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣀⡀⠁⠏⡇⢸⣿⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢈⡇⠀⡄⢸⡇⢀⣹⠀⢈⣹⣿⠦⢀⠉⢿⠀⣁⣠⠀⢀⣹⠀⢈⣹⠀⢸⠶⢾⠀⡀⠀⡟⠛⠃⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢻⣿⣷⠀⡇⣼⣿⣾⢀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣸⣇⣀⣇⣸⣇⣈⣉⣀⣈⣹⣿⣄⣘⣀⣼⣀⣿⣿⣀⣈⣹⣀⣈⣹⣄⣈⣀⣟⣀⣇⣀⣏⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣇⡿⢿⣿⢹⠨⣾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣟⢄⣿⣿⠀⠉⠀⢢⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣈⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡞⢻⣹⠀⠀⠀⢸⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠙⠛⠓⠒⠒⠒⠒⠺⠿⢿⣿⣏⠁⠸⠿⡄⠀⠀⠘⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠂⠤⠤⠶⠶⣲⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⠻⠃⠠⡄⠐⣼⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠒⠒⢲⣚⣻⠛⠛⠛⠛⣛⠿⠛⠛⠟⠻⠿⠿⠿⣿⣧⣤⣄⣀⡀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⣄⠀⠃⠀⠟⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄ ⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⢉⣉⣹⣷⣦⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠏⢆⢂⢴⠀⠀⣶⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡨⠀⢀⢹⠄⠣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠐ ⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⣾⠇⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣌⠛⢿⡄⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⡐⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠿⠿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣶⠒⢀⠑⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣦⣈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⡿⠋⢀⠔⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡿⠀⣠⡀⠀⠀⠀⣊⣶⣤⣤⡤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠋⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⡇⢿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠁⣠⠜⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⠁⢸⣿⣧⠀⢰⣾⣟⣍⣻⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡅⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣧⡄⠀⣠⠎⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⢀⣾⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣷⣆⠀⠀⠀⣠⣄⡀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠟⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣶⣿⡿⢋⡴⠞⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣦⣤⣄⠈⠉⠛⠋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠄⠀⠀⠀⢀⠻⠿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⢰⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠞⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⡴⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣶⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡀⠞⠛⠻⣟⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣤⣤⣤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⢰⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠐⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠠⠾⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠁⠐⠁⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠀⠁⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⡤⡴⠶⠶⠶⠶⠖⠚⠛⠛⢻⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣾⣿⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠤⠶⠶⠶⠶⠶⠒⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣸⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠤⠤⠤⢼⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡀⠤⠤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣬⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⠿⠿⡿⠒⢢⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣀⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⢿⠛⠛⡛⠟⠻⠉⣿⠉⠉⠉⡇⠀⢸⠀⣆⡃⠘⠀⣿⠀⡆⠁⢸⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢸⠀⡄⢇⠀⡄⠀⣿⡀⡄⡆⢇⠸⢈⣄⣃⣸⣘⣀⣿⣤⣥⣼⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣴⣬⣦⣴⣿⣶⣷⣶⣿⣿⡿⠿⡿⠿⢿⡟⠻⡟⠛⢻⠋⡙⠏⢩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⠹⢸⠁⡄⠇⢰⠈⣿⠀⣦⡇⢈⠈⠃⠄⠇⢨⠘⠀⡍⢱⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢸⡀⠃⣠⣘⣀⣿⣄⣁⣤⣼⣤⣤⣦⣴⣾⣶⣷⣶⣾⣾⠿⢿⠿⡿⠟⠛⠻⠟⡛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠟⠻⡟⠛⢻⠛⠋⣿⡍⠉⠋⠩⡇⠠⢘⣿⠀⠀⠇⢰⠈⠀⡇⢠⠈⠐⡟⣃⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⡏⠡⡇⠀⢯⠰⣀⡇⠐⡇⠀⢸⠀⡀⡇⢰⠘⠀⡀⢿⡇⢰⣶⠀⢶⠘⠀⣿⣀⣇⣰⣈⣠⣧⣥⣼⣤⣤⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣧⠰⡆⢀⢸⣀⣀⣇⣈⣇⣤⣼⣦⣥⣷⣤⣾⣶⣷⣾⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 940 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/01/09/Meme_Just_a_Draft_Nothing_Professional_Like_GNU.shtml Gemini version at https://techrights.org/n/2025/01/09/Meme_Just_a_Draft_Nothing_Professional_Like_GNU.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ [Meme] Just a Draft, Nothing Professional Like GNU⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 09, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Techrights_drafts⦈_ Draft(ing)_functionality_is_now_live and we've only just noticed that the FSF is ~40,000 dollars short of its goal.

What is the "worth" derived from? Speculation? With "hey hi" (AI) we've been seeing a lot of the same. Longtime Machine Learning researchers mock this because they know it's nothing new and they say that it's just some stupid bubble. How long before the collapse? The collapse is inevitable, it's just a question of when and how quickly. The wife of Jim Zemlin (Linux_Foundation) made a lot of money from her_own_pyramid_scheme. Those "Exchanges" have already robbed lots of people, announcing to them that their "savings" exist no longer. They managed to do this to a friend of mine who's a professor, so they can clearly con some smart people too. █ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠽⣛⠙⣿⡿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠻⠿⡟⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉ ⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣽⣿⣏⣫⣍⣿⣟⣏⣏⣛⣹⡿⠿⠟⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⠛⢿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⣦⣄⣀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢤⣤⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡘⠿⠂⠀⠉⠛⢠⣶⡇⣸⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣉⡉⠉⢉⣙⣛⠛⡁⢘⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡀⠮⣉⣼⡅⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⢀⣦⠖⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⠀⡀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠀⠀⠘⣡⣾⠇⣿⡇⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡇⢬⣭⣥⣤⢄⣴⡿⠃⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⢰⣿⣿⣿⠟⣋⣥⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣮⡁⢼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣦⠰⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⠀⠀⠤⢾⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⠃⢀⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⠟⣵⣿⠿⣿⡿⣛⣭⣹⣮⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡧⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⠀⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⣶⣶⡆⣠⣾⣮⡝⢹⣷⣿⣿⠃⠀⣊⣴⡆⣤⡶⣦⡄⣴⢶⡜⣹⣹⡇⣸⡏⣾⣿⣿⣶⣶⡟⣿⣹⣩⣼⣿⢿⡿⢻⣿⡿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⡄⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣧⡆⣿⡇⣿⣿⢸⣿⣼⡿⠀⠈⠙⣿⡇⣿⡇⣿⡇⣿⣸⢧⢧⡿⠇⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⢽⣿⣶⣺⣽⣶⣶⣿⠟⣡⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⢹⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⣿⡇⣿⡇⠀⢀⡏⣿⢹⡆⠘⣷⣌⠿⣿⣼⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣛⣛⣛⠁⣪⣭⡛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠃⠘⠛⣾⠛⠀⠀⠀⠛⠃⠙⠛⠛⠁⠀⠘⠀⠛⠚⠁⠀⢹⣿⣷⣦⣭⣝⡛⣻⣭⣭⣴⢿⣿⠿⢷⠿⣿⣿⣬⣍⣭⣛⢿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⡿⠷⡿⣻⣟⣯⣯⡵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠱⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢷⢿⢾⢿⣛⣭⣹⣿⣿⣿⣧⢲⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣰ ⠀⠀⠀⢹⡷⣺⣟⣭⣯⡴⡞⠞⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠃⠑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣟⣳⣼⣾⢾⡾⢾⡻⣟⣯⣿⡟⡛⡥⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣤⣤⣤⣜⣿⡯⢿⣵⣚⣿⣛⡿⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⢡⠻⣿⣿⣿⣟⣷⣿⣶⣿⣿⢛⡻⣟⡫⠜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠉ ⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⢿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⢭⠆⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⣤⣽⣿⣶⣶⣦⣙⣛⣭⣶⣭⡵⣛⣽⣭⡄⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢠⣠⣤⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⣠⡖⠃⠀⠀⢸⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣭⣽⣧⢖⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⣼⣿⡟⢸⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣕⣚⣏⡕⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢀⣟⣿⠁⢸⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠖⢸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⡘⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⢸⣿⡟⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⢹⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣷⣒⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣉⣉⣉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠘⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠿⠃⠄⢢⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢿⡟⠇⢠⣿⣿⣿⣷⣸⣿⡇⠐⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣷⠀⠀⣴⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⢪⣹⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢰⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠁⡸⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⠀⢠⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠒⠲⠚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡇⠀⠀⢻⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢛⣛⣛⣛⣛⡛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⢛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⡛⠛⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠐⠛⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠙⠛⠿⠿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠀⠓⠀⢀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⠓⠀⡁⠀⣀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠁⢀⡷⠤⠾⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⡛⠛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⣛⡛⠋⠀⠉⣁⣀⣀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠁⠀⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⣀⣲⡿⠻⠻⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⡁⠀⠀⠀⢉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣉⡉⠁⠀⣉⣉⣉⣀⣀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⢀⠀⠀⠘⠟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠁⠀⠀⠺⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠯⠉⠀⠹⠇⠀⣴⣾⣶⡏⠉⠨⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⡍⠁⢀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⣉⠭⢭⢩⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⢭⠭⡍⠁⠀⢀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠈⠁⢤⠌⠁⠀⠀⠨⠍⠀⠈⠉⠁⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣬⣭⣭⣥⣀⣀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠋⠀⠀⣚⣻⣇⣀⣀⠀⢀⣀⣀⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠀⢀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣦⣀⣀⣀⠈⢀⣀⣶⡆⠀⠀⣀⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⡭⠉⠩⠭⠌⠁⠁⠀⣄⣀⣬⣭⣤⣤⣭⣭⣤⣭⣭⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣤⣭⣭⣤⣤⣩⣭⣥⣤⣤⣬⣍⣥⣤⣤⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣥⣬⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠛⠟⠛⠛⠋⠉⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣷⣶⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⢠⣤⣠⣤⣤⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣄⣠⡄⠀⢀⣤⣠⣤⣠⣤⣄⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣄⣠⣤⣄⠀⠀⣤⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⢠⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⢠⣄⣀⣤⣠⣤⣤⡄⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣄⣠⣤⡄⠀⠀⣤⣔⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠛⠿⠛⠻⠛⠛⠋⠀⠀⣤⣠⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣠⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠀⠀⠉⠁⠙⠋⠛⠋⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠿⠿⡟⢻⢿⠛⣛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣵⣖⢰⡖⠒⠒⠒⣶⡍⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1128 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/01/09/Microsoft_Says_Scale_of_Layoffs_in_January_2025_is_Several_Thou.shtml Gemini version at https://techrights.org/n/2025/01/09/Microsoft_Says_Scale_of_Layoffs_in_January_2025_is_Several_Thou.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Microsoft Says Scale of Layoffs in January 2025 is Several Thousands⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 09, 2025 Yesterday: Microsoft_Starts_2025_Like_2024:_Mass_Layoffs_Every_Month!

Microsoft is clearly_having_issues and it must reduce costs. Having run out of things to cut (it already removed or withdrew many perks for staff), it's now cutting its own workforce. Expect a lot more of this throughout the year.

Microsoft is losing India. People move to mobile, i.e. to Android (for the most part). That's good news for Google, not for Microsoft. Weeks ago we saw Windows at over 12%, now it's below. The consistent and almost linear decrease will continue because Microsoft has nothing in store other than vapourware and mass layoffs.

or "AI Revolution" or "AI Arms Race", It's Just a Dying Tech Industry Looking to Prop Up Its Valuation Using Hype and False Marketing of Mostly Dysfunctional Tools⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 09, 2025 Please, enough with this nonsense based on theoretical "use cases" and sometimes intentional vapourware 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇RMS_or_Stallman_says_enough⦈_ Earlier this week CSS-Tricks published something entitled "The Importance Of Investing In Soft Skills In The Age Of AI" (yes, hey hi!) and the latter part seems absurd. Cheaper coders (working for less money), not LLMs, is the real "issue". As for hey hi (AI), it can be seen as the catch-all excuse/scapegoat. It's always there in the a corporate propagandists' toolset. Here's a new example_of_this, in fact one wherein a Microsoft-friendly publisher uses "hey hi" (AI) to make a_business_failure_of_Microsoft - and now thousands_of_more layoffs - seem like "innovation" to be admired. The title speaks of "The Age Of AI", but there is no "AGE OF HEY HI"... as ML (machine learning) is over 50 years old in some sense. "Again," an associate argues, "it's still about control. Whoever writes the code controls the computers and they can be controlled by turning them into wage slaves." Well, in theory we could write and execute our own code, but Microsoft and IBM try to mandate that only SOME code can be run (UEFI 'secure' boot was put inside Linux by Red Hat so as to put Microsoft in control). Therein is the real threat - computers that do not allow the user to run actually secure code, only backdoored garbage (in binary form) from GAFAM et al. Judging by new puff pieces like this_one, Microsoft is now super-worried that shareholders might realise Azure has failed (the "hey hi" smokescreen aside) and possibly still loses money (if not market share, too). Azure is were a lot of those layoffs are happening and have been happening for 5 years already. Microsoft_cooks_the_books_to_hide_what's_really_happening. The buzzwords help, so bypass those. █ Photo credit: “A_democracia_precisa_de_heróis_como_Snowden” ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠋⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⢠⣾⣶⡙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢧⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠢⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣀⡀⠀⢀⣀⣠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⣀⣠⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣆⠀⢰⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡾⢡⠀⣌⠄⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⣉⣙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠉⠂⣷⣄⣰⣤⡀⣹⣿⡁⠀⠀⢀⡰⠻⠇⠙⣿⣿⣗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠢⡄⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣵⠅⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣃⣼⣿⣿⣷⣄⠰⣾⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⢁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠄⢠⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡏⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢢⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡅⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣷⣏⠉⠁⠀⡈⢽⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡟⠁⢑⡜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠽⢮⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡟⠻⠃⢠⢠⣶⡽⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⡟⠂⠀⠀⠨⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣻⣏⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡘⣝⣿⣿⡟⠉⠀⠀⠐⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⡒⠼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣦⣦⣄⣇⣬⣥⣁⠻⢛⢀⠠⣖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣴⣜⣬⣴⡡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠛⠻⠿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⢿⣥⡾⠟⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⡄⠀⣠⣤⡀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⠇⣸⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⢀⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⡇⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣄⣀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⠟⣾⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣨⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⡘⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡊⠐⠉⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠷⡇⣾⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1414 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/01/09/Over_at_Tux_Machines.shtml Gemini version at https://techrights.org/n/2025/01/09/Over_at_Tux_Machines.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Over at Tux Machines...⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 09, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Australian_black_Swan_dinin_upside_down_downunder⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ 1. ⚓ Logging_Baby's_Day_In_Linux⠀⇛ There’s plenty of surprises to be had when you become a parent ⚓ New⠀⇛ 2. ⚓ Android_Leftovers⠀⇛ Lenovo has been selling Android tablets in China since 2022 ⚓ New⠀⇛ 3. ⚓ Scribus_1.6.3_Open-Source_Desktop_Publishing_App_Released_with_Various Bug_Fixes⠀⇛ The development team behind Scribus, an open-source and cross- platform desktop publishing app, released today version 1.6.3 as a minor update to the Scribus 1.6 stable series with various bug and crash fixes. 4. ⚓ Programming_Leftovers⠀⇛ Development in FOSS 5. ⚓ Fedora_/_Red_Hat_/_IBM_Leftovers⠀⇛ EPEL and more 6. ⚓ Audiocasts/Shows:_'Linux'_Foundation_as_Pentagon,_Video_Editing_With Free_Software,_Linux_Matters,_and_'Linux'_Foundation_Pushing_GAFAM_Non- Security⠀⇛ 4 new episodes or videos 7. ⚓ Security_Leftovers⠀⇛ Security picks 8. ⚓ OpenSUSE_Problems_(Nobody_Wants_to_Lead),_Free_Software_Leftovers⠀⇛ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software and more 9. ⚓ Red_Hat's_Push_for_OpenShift_and_In-Vehicle_GNU/Linux⠀⇛ Red Hat leftovers 10. ⚓ today's_howtos⠀⇛ Instructionals/Technical articles/posts 11. ⚓ Open_Hardware/Modding:_Arduino,_Raspberry_Pi,_and_‘Repair_Café’ Culture⠀⇛ Hardware picks 12. ⚓ Security_and_Windows_TCO_Leftovers⠀⇛ Windows TCO mostly 13. ⚓ Open_source_trends_for_2025⠀⇛ Because I did so well in 2024, I figure I’ll stick my neck out again for 2025.

Or more importantly, why is the EFF helping a mass surveillance company? The short story is, follow the money. The EFF is lobbying_for_Facebook, which allegedly_pays_the_EFF_to_do_this. The EFF is nowadays somewhat of a GAFAM think tank, giving awards to Microsoft, taking bribes from Google, and so on. Think of the Linux_Foundation if it helps. Its_most_dominant_voice_is_that_of the_biggest_attacker_on_Linux. The old name (or brand) remains; the goals? Not so much... One worrying thing about the EFF is, it is conflating all sorts of digital rights with prostitution (or "sex work" as the EFF prefers to refer to prostitution as, broadening the criterion with vagueness). So instead of talking about policy we end up talking about something else altogether. It should be noted the person whom we're suing [1, 2] for well over a decade of online abuse relied on similar tactics, centred around sexualisation of things. He was also participating in the 'coup' inside the EFF, replacing geeks with more and more oddballs who barely care about tech and who strongly oppose_free speech (especially criticism). If the EFF wants to deal with freedom of speech online, maybe it should issue a press release about the murder of cartoonists in France almost exactly a decade ago. But that would seem like criticism of Islam (which generally objects to free speech) and the EFF would not want to do that... So let's talk about sex, baby. Take this new_example_from_the_EFF: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇In_general,_EFF_supports_moves_that_bring_more_freedom_of expression_and_transparency_to_platforms—regardless_of_their_political motivation._We’re_encouraged_by_Meta's_recognition_that_automated_flagging_and responses_to_flagged_content_have_caused_all_sorts_of_mistakes_in_moderation.

They're basically conflating online speech with something a lot more divisive. So "EFF Statement on Meta's Announcement of Revisions to Its Content Moderation Processes" now deals with something totally different from the core issues. And "instead of addressing the policy aspects and principles," as an associate put it, "the EFF reframes the whole question into a fringe topic... well played." They're scoring an own goal and alienating all sorts of people, not just hardcore Republicans who say "EFF says: Don't stop kids from looking at porn!" If the EFF is supporting prostitution, promiscuity, and all sorts of fringe ideas that vex and irritate a lot of the general population and have little (or nothing) to do with privacy, free speech, patent law etc. then the EFF isn't a decent flag bearer. It helps companies like Facebook distract from the most sinister aspects of these policies. █ _____ * A foul-mouthed_Zuckerberg, an enabler of Donald Trump who lets a Trump confidant manage the policy.

For instance, statCounter does not at all recognise all sorts of operating systems, especially Chinese ones. It's like they simply do not exist to statCounter. We can assume they're all classified as "other" or "Unknown" (see above). Maybe some are mis-classified. Any time we mention statCounter it's because it lacks competition, except perhaps private and proprietary alternatives, which would have vastly smaller data sets to process (it's about even distribution rather than size, but judging_trends_by_one_single_site/company_wouldn't_work_either). In some cases, the poor recognition or parsing or classification of User-Agent strings means that trends_get_distorted_very_badly. In the case of India, "Unknown" rising from 7.5% to almost 23% in a few months (as shown above) can distort global trends. Indians are the world's largest population, so it doesn't quite "average out"... █ ⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇OpenSSH_Under_Siege:_PoC_Exploit_Released_for_Infamous_⦈_ And of course gptzero.me deems this to be LLM slop, not_a_real_article! Chatbots controlled by Microsoft and curated_by_wage_slaves_in_Kenya have become weapon_against_"Linux" because some unprincipled fools and liars misuse chatbots to craft fake articles (easier than done_manually). Now they do the same to SSH/OpenSSH, which competes against proprietary bloatware of Microsoft and its partners. We've seen and rebutted such nonsense before, even as recently_as_3_weeks_ago. We need to call out the people who spew out Microsoft propaganda (often generated by Microsoft entities) into the Web. Later on the scrapers will pick up those lies, reinforcing their own biases, which were tweaked by Microsoft staff. █ ⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣴⡸⣿⣧⣥⣤⣥⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣻⣣⣷⣏⣽⣾⣸⣸⣲⣽⣮⣹⣸⣇⣿⣇⣟⣇⣷⣏⣗⣏⣷⣇⣿⣟⣮⣇⣏⣷⣇⡽⣹⣾⣺⣿⣸⣮⣷⣥⣻⣿⣿⣸⣿⣜⣷⣶⣽⣏⣗⣇⣿⣿⣿⣭⣪⣷⣇⣇⣷⣿⣸⣬⣋⣷⣇⣇⣿⣇⣇⣏⣇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣇⣇⣗⣇⣇⣇⣇⣇⣇⣇⣇⣧⣽⣿⣿⣇⣮⣷⣇⡿⣇⣾⣸⣷⣎⣷⣯⣇⣿⣿⣸⣸⣸⣸⣸⣿⣿⣇⣇⣇⣇⣇⡷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣢⢺⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣶⣄⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2033 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/01/09/When_They_Insist_That_Getting_Rid_of_Paper_Receipts_and_Paper_T.shtml Gemini version at https://techrights.org/n/2025/01/09/When_They_Insist_That_Getting_Rid_of_Paper_Receipts_and_Paper_T.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ When They Insist That Getting Rid of Paper Receipts and Paper Trail of All Kinds is Better (Manchester City Council and the "Smart" or "App" Mindset)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 09, 2025, updated Jan 09, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Cargo_Container_Ship⦈_ GO GET OUR APP THAT WON'T EVEN WORK IN A FEW YEARS AND SAVE THE PLANET WHILE THE CARGO BOATS GO ON AND ON FOR SATISFACTION OF YOUR ENDLESS CONSUMPTION (SALES)! Crossposted from personal_blog as this pertains to digital life/rights I HAVE just received a curious E-mail. Suppose there are over 400,000 "Manchester households" (it does not say Greater Manchester, but set that aside for now). Manchester City Council now says: "We would like you to join over 40,000 Manchester households that already receive their council tax bill by email." Like the_roughly_half who got connected (or conned) into "smart" meters? After a decade of constant_nagging? What would be the actual advantage of having "council tax bill by email"? Quoting Manchester City Council: "The benefits of this are: - It saves money on printing and postage that could be better used for our city and vital front-line services - It saves paper and is kinder to the environment" Well, that's just classic greenwashing, and not only a duplicate point (they basically make the same argument twice). It may seem OK to only receive some E-mail, but no paper trail exists if that's done. And some places require actual paper, e.g. bills with addresses on them. They would not admit or accept (or access) some E-mail that you "forward" to them (and can be easily forged). Paper trail means paper. Hard paper. If you want to save the planet, don't start by culling small paper items (like receipts). Think BIG; cull cars and jets, especially rich people's jets that pollute for only one_person. The oligarchy tries to blame the "peasants"... for receiving 1-page A4 paper sheets. How much pollution does one tanker generate? Or some space "mission" (rockets)? Go sell your BS agenda to someone else. Paper trails exist for a good reason and I have all my bills from the Council going over a decade back. Those can be invaluable as proof of things. Gmail is meanwhile killing E-mail accounts it deems not active enough (new policy). Way to burn bills, invoices etc. without consent. █ ⠠⠛⢛⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣱⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣀⣈⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣃⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢉⣉⣉⣉⣉⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠓⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠟⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡯⠭⠴⠦⠈⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠤⠼⠽⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣉⣉⣉⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠲⠶⠖⠚⠻⠿⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢶⡿⠷⠶⢷⣶⣷⣿⣿⡿⣷⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠾⠿⠶⠶⠶⠶⢶⡾⠶⠶⠶⠾⠶⠶⠶⠶⠴⠶⠴⢖⣶⣶⣶⣶⣠⣴⣦⣤⣉⣉⠉⠈⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠁⠀⠀⠤⠤⣤⣤⠤⢤⠬⣭⡽⢽⡯⢭⣭⣭⣽⣭⣬⣥⣽⣭⣭⣭⣬⣬⣿⣿⣿⣍⣿⣉⣫⣍⣁⣁⣈⣋⣉⣉⣁⣁⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣭⣄⣩⣈⣀⣀⣁⣀⡀⠀⢀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠃⠺⠿⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠈⠛⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠟⠛⠒⠲⠶ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣶⣩⢶⠦⠔⠤⣀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣵⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡍⠚⠋⠑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡠⠤⣴⣾⣋⣩⣿⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣯⡭⠯⢭⢍⠈⠉⠍⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢒⣒⡻⠷⣞⣿⣽⢭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠿⠿⠶⠶⠴⢦⢶⠦⡶⢦⠤⠤⢠⠌⠠⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠙⠚⠓⠂⠘⠙⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢀⠀⡐⡢⡭⢉⢁⣀⣿⣝⣃⣌⣽⣍⣵⢇⣪⣬⣿⣤⣦⣉⢉⠁⠀⢀⣀⢀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠋⠉⠀⠊⠁⠑⠈⠙⠋⠐⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2155 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Gemini Links 09/01/2025: Chants of Sennaar and Security Theater⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 09, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Red_tulips_and_daffodils_garden_divider_between_city_streets in_Brussels,_Belgium⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Technology_and_Free_Software * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ Weekly_links_6⠀⇛ My recurring Weekly Links feature is not weekly. But it is as good as post as any to try, to see if my publishing script craps out because we've move to a new year. You can do it l'il script! # ⚓ Rain_forest⠀⇛ It rains a lot in Washington state.

I live in Central Oregon, and I'm not used to the dampness up in Washington, especially not on the Olympic Peninsula. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ 8th_January_2025_-_Chants_of_Sennaar⠀⇛ I spent Sunday playing and completing Chants Of Sennaar. It is an adventure game which is mostly about solving puzzles. You awake from a stone slab as a mysterious person in a robe. You wonder around until you reach a door. You look at the door and spot mysterious writing. Looks a bit like it could mean 'open' and 'close'. You go through the door and see valves in various states. A sign suggests what state the valves need to be in but all in this mysterious language. What do you do with this? # ⚓ Security_Theater⠀⇛ In my case it was genome sequencers, which back then were big bulky expensive things connected to a Windows system (or possibly DOS, or possibly both, where you'd pull out a drive tray, and flip it 180 degrees to load the other operating system that ran different software). The problem here was the the vendor insisted that the Windows system never be patched, set against the fact that an unpatched Windows system would last about 30 seconds on the network before being hacked. One solution is to keep Windows off the network, perhaps placing a ball of masking tape in the network port and then taping that over with a "NO!" label to lower, but not eliminate, the odds of someone incorrectly networking the host up. No network would mean all data transfers would be done via sneakernet, or to walk from computer A to computer B with a portable drive. The lab techs were not a fan of such. # ⚓ Analog_Basics:_Integrator_(publ._2025-01-08)⠀⇛ I am trying to familiarize myself with the basics of analog computing, i.e., setting up calculations or models with analog components, and the associated mathematics.

At school she was a baby when she played with a girl whose name she doesn't know. In the car, she barked a magic word Dr. Faustus said to summon Mephistopholes. I obliged her by gibbering "bleagh-bleagh-bleagh...." She banished me with the other magic word, then summoned me again, the strategy Faust used to tire the devil and bend it to his will. At her friend's house, she grabbed a sled and took off running to the big hill. She was speeding down it before anyone could stop her. What a fun thing to repeat. # ⚓ And_so_the_story⠀⇛ I'm a stonemason by trade. I worked the same project since the birth of my firstborn. # ⚓ Coming_home⠀⇛ Being scared of who I am creates these dark paths which haven't happened yet. Because I'm afraid I am a bad person, I am afraid that I will do bad things in the future. If I look logically at my life, I see clearly that I am not a bad person, I've never been, and will probably never be. I have a pure heart and I am aware of my own and other suffering and very sensitive to all that. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ HIT_AND_MIPS⠀⇛ As noted in earlier ramblings about my router running OpenWRT, with the upgrade to OpenWRT 23 I decided to give up on new versions. In fact the decision turns out to have been made for me because release notes for the OpenWrt 24 release candidates reveal that my router's board family been removed from their build targets. My main incentive for upgrading was security, but thinking about it I don't think an old Linux kernel that's not running any internet-facing services is at risk of getting hacked from the internet anyway. If they can get through the firewall then that's basically a backdoor at the heart of Linux - even after the horror of the XZ SSH backdoor I still don't think something that fundamental could slip through. But the annoying thing about computer security is that if you try to ignore it, like a jealous cartoon robot it'll start sabotaging everything you do just to get attention. I don't install the Web interface to OpenWrt, so no worries about any encryption sillyness it uses, but of course by default the command-line access is by SSH and some day newer SSH clients will get all elitist and refuse to talk to SSH servers as old as the Dropbear in OpenWrt 23. Telnet is a fine unencrypted alternative that I use everywhere else on my home network for this reason, but OpenWrt don't package a Telnet server. # ⚓ referral_links_are_bad⠀⇛ As a general rule, I hate advertisements. Maybe it comes with growing up around the Internet when the ads were either easily-avoided banners at the top of a page or because ad creators/directors can't make anything worthwhile anymore. Maybe it's because all movie trailers spoil everything in 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Whatever the case, I don't like seeing ads. It's almost a visceral reaction. If it's the rare TV show I'm watching on TV (weird sentence a few decades ago), I will mute the ads until the show gets back on. It's a far cry from when cable was the overwhelming norm for TV viewing. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Domain_Change_and_Preparations_for_2025⠀⇛ **Important:** The new domain for auragem is now auragem.ddns.net. The previous domain name completely disappeared from my freedns account (for some unknown reason). While I have gotten the auragem server back up and running with the new domain, the misfin server will not be accessible for a while as I change over my misfin certificate. Note that auragem will always be available over a Tor Onion Service: # ⚓ static-site_generation_with_pandoc,_fennel,_and make⠀⇛ I'm experimenting with a potential ssg set up using pandoc to process source files (eg, markdown), fennel for html templating using a rudimentary hiccup-like library, and makefiles to glue it all together. # ⚓ Recent_messages_on_Boundless_Expeditions⠀⇛ "Boundless Expeditions" is the newsletter of Infinitus Ministries and I write and publish sermons, among other occasional materials. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

The toy is cool all by itself, but the video shows how a sufficiently large heliocone models many “natural numbers” and acts, as [Mathologer] puts it, acts as “microscope to probe the nature of numbers.” # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Bending_Light,_Bending_Time:_A_DIY_Polarizer Clock⠀⇛ Imagine a clock where the colors aren’t from LEDs but a physics phenomenon – polarization. That’s just what [Mosivers], a physicist and electronics enthusiast, has done with the Polarizer Clock. It’s not a perfect build, but the concept is intriguing: using polarized light and stress-induced birefringence to generate colors without resorting to RGB LEDs. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Cash_swaps_as_Latvian_hospitals_scramble_to_use_up EU_funding⠀⇛ In order to build the ambitious Infectious Diseases Unit at Rīga's biggest hospital, Rīga East Clinical University Hospital (RAKUS), the Ministry of Health (VM) has made a major reallocation of cash flow, Latvian Television reported on January 6. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Proposal_to_test_urine_of_concertgoers in_Malaysia_faces_backlash⠀⇛ Other suggestions include having scanning equipment to prevent prohibited materials from being brought in. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Bali_closely_monitors_flights_from China,_Malaysia_amid_HMPV_outbreak⠀⇛ China has reported an uptick in HMPV cases in recent weeks. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ 'Please_Don't_Eat_Your_Christmas_Tree'_Says Belgium's_Food_Agency⠀⇛ Just.... no. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ KISS_Settles_Contentious_COVID_Lawsuit with_Hair_Stylist⠀⇛ KISS members settle a wrongful termination lawsuit by a former hairstylist who complained about ‘unsafe working conditions’ during the COVID pandemic.

HMPV is common and decades old. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Alaska_Trials_Are_Delayed_for_So_Long_that Victims_Die_Without_Justice⠀⇛ The evidence was overwhelming from the time it all began in 2017. A sexual assault in broad daylight at a popular Anchorage park, with a witness who dialed 911 and described the attack as it was happening. A police officer hoisting the suspect from atop one of the victims, the suspect’s pants still around his knees. DNA evidence corroborating the crime. Yet in Alaska’s slow-motion court system, it took more than seven years for the case against Fred Tom Hurley III to finally go to trial, in December. Attorneys came and went with the passage of time — a series of six for the defense and four for the prosecution — as judges granted 50 delays. Most of the slowdowns came at the request of Hurley’s lawyers, long before and long after the COVID-19 pandemic paused jury trials across the state. At hearing after hearing, talks concerned scheduling, not the facts of the case. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ $1_extra_fries?_McDonald’s_value_menu_marks how_chains_are_adapting_or_closing.⠀⇛ Restaurants are grappling with inflation and a changing consumer, a mix that has pushed some eateries into bankruptcy.

You love it! Your follower count is going up! Instead of a nobody with a couple hundred followers, you’ve bypassed the 1k+ mark and it keeps going! You’re ecstatic! This is the “next step” you were aspiring to. But then you start looking around. The people you’re following with 1k+ followers are now at 10k+.

Humans are a social species; this is how we work.) The interesting — and tricky — thing about the indie web is that, as a place, it’s inherently more amorphous than a lot of other online communities. You can’t just go to AO3 or Tumblr or Instagram or Discord or Bluesky. While you have to find the community within the network at those locations, the search territory is naturally constrained. In contrast, the indie web being decentralized relies more on the participating members to do some work, even if they are only reading and not posting… which honestly can be a good thing for a community, asking for some small level of investment. o ⚓ Roy Tang ☛ My_2024_Year_in_Review⠀⇛ One last statistic: this year's yearnotes is about 33% shorter than last year's, probably because I decided to separate the gaming stats this year! For me, the year in review post is about the past year. My next post will be my 2025 checklist, where I talk about the future and things I'm looking forward to in the coming year. o ⚓ Lou Plummer ☛ The_Difference_Between_Journaling_and_Blogging⠀⇛ When I look back at my blog, it reveals more about my feelings than any journal I've ever kept. I can tell when I was feeling light-hearted or when politics have had me riled up. When I write about my (grown) kids it is usually a reflection of when I'm missing them. My dear sweet Mom reads every post and I put little messages to her in here and try not to cuss. I'm honest about my mental health. Sometimes I vent my frustrations from work, or you know, people. o ⚓ Thomas Rigby ☛ Blog_questions_challenge⠀⇛ I have seen this doing the rounds with contributions from the mighty Manu and, adapter of these questions for us non-Bear-Bloggers, Mr Quirk. o ⚓ Andrea Contino ☛ Blog_Questions_Challenge⠀⇛ Lately, my go-to writing tool has been Bear. I’ve tried iA Writer—which I absolutely love—but in my quest for a single app for both work and personal notes, Bear turned out to be the perfect balance of elegance and practicality. It’s also one of the few tools that lets me copy a text in markdown and paste it directly into Kirby. o ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-12-30_[Older]_Chess_great_Carlsen_returns_to tournament_—_and_the_jeans_stay_on⠀⇛ o ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2024-12-29_[Older]_Norwegian_Chess Grandmaster_Magnus_Carlsen_Quits_a_Tournament_in_a_Dispute_Over Jeans⠀⇛ o ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2024-12-29_[Older]_Chess_Grandmaster Magnus_Carlsen_Returns_to_a_Tournament_After_a_Dispute_Over_Jeans Is_Resolved⠀⇛ o § BSD/Other⠀➾ # ⚓ BSDly ☛ 2025-01-02_[Older]_A_Suitably_Bizarre_Start_of_the Year_2025⠀⇛ I have written about the daily maintenance tasks for the lists, such as they are, in previous entries such as the list homepage pointed to in the previous paragraph and the traplist ethics page as well as the blog post Goodness, Enumerated by Robots. Or, Handling Those Who Do Not Play Well With Greylisting (November 2018, also here) or for that matter the piece I wrote about the arrival of the the hundred thousandth spamtrap, The Things Spammers Believe - A Tale of 300,000 Imaginary Friends (also here). o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Ness Labs ☛ Where_Are_You_on_the_Woo_Spectrum?⠀⇛ Conversations can become binary and polarized when we lack language to describe our beliefs. The Woo Spectrum helps us understand and describe our relationship with debated practices and philosophies. It consists of four levels: [...] o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Sean Goedecke ☛ What_makes_strong_engineers_strong?⠀⇛ As I’ve written about before, what defines a strong engineer is the ability to do tasks that weaker engineers can’t, even with near-unlimited time. But what are the concrete skills or traits that make up that ability? What is it about strong engineers that makes them able to do a much wider range of tasks? In order of importance, I think it’s self- belief, pragmatism, speed, and technical ability. # ⚓ CSS Tricks ☛ The_Importance_Of_Investing_In_Soft_Skills_In The_Age_Of_AI⠀⇛ The biggest risk factor I can foresee is that if your sole responsibility is to write code, your job is almost certainly at risk. I don’t think this is an imminent risk in a lot of cases, but as generative AI improves its code output — just like it has for images and video — it’s only a matter of time before it becomes a redundancy risk for actual human developers. Do I think this is right? Absolutely not. Do I think it’s time to panic? Not yet, but I do see a lot of value in evolving your skillset beyond writing code. I especially see the value in improving your soft skills. # ⚓ Society for Scholarly Publishing ☛ We're_Seeking_A_Deputy Editor_for_The_Scholarly_Kitchen⠀⇛ I’ve been running the show here for the last 12 or so years, with support from Dianndra Roberts, our Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Associate Editor and Angela Cochran, our Associate Editor. Angela’s role has been that of an emergency backup, filling in when I’m not available, and we are now looking to expand that position into a full Deputy Editorship. While still providing continuity of service when I’m not around, the Deputy Editor will take on some of the work done with guest authors, support our program of webinars and panel appearances, track our author and site performance, and help brainstorm and develop new content ideas. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Part_two:_Our_(recent)_history_with_the PlayStation_3⠀⇛ This is part two in my shaggy dog story about the PlayStation 3, one of my favourite ever consoles. In part one I talked about my history (or lack thereof) with consoles as a kid, how I was first fascinated by the PS3 for its ability to run Folding@home and play Blu-ray discs, and how Clara and I ended up with a couple of them. # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ Nvidia_unveils_its_flagship_RTX_5090_card_— with_AI-juiced_frame_rates⠀⇛ Nvidia is the one company making a fortune in the AI bubble and will be just fine when it pops. They make top-quality graphics processors that physically exist, not money-burning AI models. But CES demands a consumer announcement. So here’s the next-generation RTX 5000 series of video cards for gamers! # ⚓ Wired ☛ Nvidia’s_$3,000_‘Personal_AI_Supercomputer’_Will Let_You_Ditch_the_Data_Center⠀⇛ Nvidia’s new desktop machine, dubbed Digits, will go on sale in May and is about the size of a small book. It contains an Nvidia “superchip” called GB10 Grace Blackwell, optimized to accelerate the computations needed to train and run AI models, and comes equipped with 128 gigabytes of unified memory and up to 4 terabytes of NVMe storage for handling especially large AI programs. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Qualcomm_targets_$600_Copilot+_PCs_with Snapdragon_X_chip⠀⇛ And while Snapdragon X chips have so far only powered laptop designs, the San Diego chips and telecoms biz said that mini desktop PC designs are also in the pipeline. CEO Cristiano Amon hinted at this during last year's Computex show, when he said its silicon would be coming to all form factors of PC. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ TSMC_Arizona_allegedly_now_producing_AMD's Ryzen_9000_and_Apple's_S9_processors:_Report⠀⇛ If the information is accurate, then TSMC's Fab 21 in the U.S. is now producing at least three chips: Apple's A16 Bionic system-on-chip for iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus smartphones, at least one IC in the Apple S9 SiP for smart watches (we presume this is the actual application processor with two 64-bit cores and a quad-core neural engine), and one of AMD's Ryzen 9000-series CPU. All of the said processors are made using TSMC's 4nm-class N4 and N4P technologies. # ⚓ David Rosenthal ☛ Storage_Roundup⠀⇛ It is time for another roundup of topics in storage that have caught my eye recently. Below the fold I discuss the possible ending of the HAMR saga and various developments in archival storage technology. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-12-29_[Older]_Germany:_Supermarket customers_ill_due_to_'irritant_gas'⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-12-26_[Older]_Doctors_in_this_Ontario_region_can now_prescribe_nature_'to_help_people_have_a_better_quality_of life'⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-12-26_[Older]_Mother_and_Baby_Plush_Toys recalled_across_Canada_over_choking_hazard_fears⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-12-26_[Older]_American_pet_food_sold_in_B.C. recalled_after_a_cat_died_of_bird_flu⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-12-27_[Older]_Why_women_in_rural_Ontario_are_at growing_risk_of_domestic_violence⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-12-27_[Older]_Another_man_over_age_50_found_dead outdoors_in_N.S.,_prompting_calls_for_more_mental_health resources⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-12-27_[Older]_Nordic_spas_booming_amid 'unlimited'_consumer_appetite_for_wellness⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-12-27_[Older]_Canadian-made_exoskeleton_helps kids_with_health_challenges_walk,_but_price_is_a_barrier⠀⇛ # ⚓ Task And Purpose ☛ The_Army_wants_to_overhaul_its_dining halls_with_campus-like_food⠀⇛ Army dining halls are aimed at soldiers in so- called Essential Station Messing status, the Army’s term for soldiers who live on base and rely on the dining halls for meals. Those soldiers are generally junior enlisted troops at or below the E- 6 paygrade. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ How_Solitude_Is_Rewiring_American_Identity⠀⇛ Americans are spending more and more time alone. Some are lonely. But many people—young men in particular—are actively choosing to spend much of their time in isolation, in front of screens. That proclivity is having a profound effect on individual well-being and on American’s “civic and psychic identity,” my colleague Derek Thompson writes in our new cover story. I spoke with Derek about what he calls our anti-social century. # ⚓ The Hill ☛ Can_Americans_end_our_abusive_relationship_with private_health_insurance?⠀⇛ Americans do not like their private health insurance. It didn’t take the inflamed online rhetoric after the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson to make that point clear. According to a recent Gallup poll, only 30 percent of Americans have a favorable view of the private health insurance industry. Americans have good reasons to feel that way. For starters, it costs so much to get covered. The average American pays thousands of dollars for private health insurance — most of it in wages they never actually see. In 2019, average American workers forked over 18 percent of their total compensation to help employers purchase health insurance on their behalf. # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ How_to_protect_yourself_from_the_smoke caused_by_L.A._wildfires⠀⇛ Wildfire smoke can irritate your eyes, nose, throat and lungs. The soot may contain all kinds of dangerous pollutants, including some that may cause cancer. The tiniest particles in smoke can travel deep into your lungs or even enter your bloodstream. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Kids_Are_Huffing_Galaxy_Gas_Until_They_Get Tremors,_Limps_and_Lose_Bowel_Control⠀⇛ Nitrous oxide has generally fallen into the category of drugs seen as "risky, but survivable in moderation." But some combination of availability and adulterants seem to be pushing it into more harmful territory. # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ Lonely_people_have_high levels_of_harmful_proteins_-_new_research⠀⇛ In particular, our study suggested that loneliness may lead to an increase in the levels of five specific proteins expressed in the brain (known as GFRA1, ADM, FABP4, TNFRSF10A and ASGR1). In other words, all the proteins we identified as related to loneliness were “positively associated”, meaning that people who feel lonely tend to have higher protein levels compared to those who do not feel lonely. # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ FDA_announces_limits_on_toxic_lead_in baby_foods⠀⇛ The agency issued final guidance that it estimated could reduce lead exposure from processed baby foods by about 20% to 30%. The limits are voluntary, not mandatory, for food manufacturers, but they allow the FDA to take enforcement action if foods exceed the levels. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Microsoft_Axes_Jobs_Across_Teams_in_a_Performance-Based Restructure⠀⇛ In a surprising move, Microsoft lets go of employees across departments. Performance metrics take center stage! # ⚓ Futurism ☛ CEO_Who_Bragged_About_Replacing_Workers_With_AI Now_Distressed_That_AI_Will_Replace_His_Job_Too⠀⇛ Researchers have already studied the possibility of CEOs becoming an endangered species in the age of AI. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Garmin_Connect_outage_leaves_folks_unable to_share_stats⠀⇛ There's no need to panic: Garmin's watches appear to be still recording data but the Connect platform used to correlate fitness data, and share it with others such as Strava, took a dive early on Wednesday morning. Garmin isn't responding to questions about what went wrong as yet, or if any personal data has been lost. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Microsoft_is_reverting_its_Bing_AI_image generator_because_of_quality_complaints⠀⇛ Microsoft declined to comment on its decision to roll things back or offer specifics on what may be causing the gap between user’s expectations and its output. # ⚓ Howard Oakley ☛ Why_use_APFS?⠀⇛ Although your Mac’s boot volume group, including the Data volume that’s almost always used for your Home folder, has to be in APFS format, you can still use Macintosh Extended or HFS+ format for other drives and their contents. This article provides advice to help you choose between the two Mac native file systems. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Apple_responds_to_BBC_complaint_over_AI accuracy⠀⇛ The feature generated a headline summary which falsely claimed that Luigi Mangione, a man arrested over the murder of healthcare insurance CEO Brian Thomson, had shot himself. The summary was attributed to BBC News and sparked a complaint from the UK's national broadcaster. The original story said nothing of the sort. The incident happened before Christmas, and it has taken until this week for Apple to acknowledge concerns over the feature, according to the BBC. The company's solution? Instead of temporarily removing the technology or employing fact-checkers who might ensure accurate information appears on users' screens, Apple intends to implement a software change to "further clarify" when the displayed content is a summary provided by Apple Intelligence. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Man_Trying_to_Catch_Flight_Alarmed_as_His Driverless_Waymo_Gets_Stuck_Driving_in_Loop_Around_Parking Lot⠀⇛ "I have a flight to catch, why is this thing going in a circle?" an exasperated Johns told Waymo customer service in the video. "I'm going dizzy." "I've got my seatbelt on, I can't get out of the car," he said. "Has this been hacked? What's going on?" # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ Los_Angeles_man_is_trapped_in_circling Waymo_on_way_to_airport⠀⇛ L.A. tech entrepreneur Mike Johns posted a video three weeks ago on LinkedIn of his call to a customer service representative for Waymo to report that the car kept turning in circles and that he was nervous about missing his flight. # ⚓ CBC ☛ Is_it_still_'social_media'_if_it's_overrun_by_AI?⠀⇛ For early users of social media, platforms like Facebook and Instagram have become "about as anti- social as you can imagine," said Carmi Levy, a technology analyst and journalist based in London, Ont. "It's becoming increasingly difficult to connect with an actual human being." # ⚓ Pete Brown ☛ We_should_not_confuse_what_makes_money_with what_is_good.⠀⇛ Except that companies like Meta don’t give a shit about authenticity or human connection. They want to make money, they make money from advertising, and they make more money from advertising if more people are spending more time on their platform. That is what they are optimizing for. # § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2025-01-03_[Older]_Apple_to_pay_$95M_to settle_lawsuit_accusing_Siri_of_eavesdropping⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2025-01-03_[Older] What_to_Know_About_Apple's_$95_Million_Settlement of_the_Snooping_Siri_Case⠀⇛ # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Telegram_Shared_Data_of Thousands_of_Users_After_CEO's_Arrest⠀⇛ Durov was released several days later and promised to make significant improvements in an effort to tackle the use of the platform for illicit activities, as well as to provide — in response to valid legal requests — the IP addresses and phone numbers of users who violate rules. Telegram provides a bot that shares a very brief transparency report for each user’s respective country, revealing the number of law enforcement requests for IPs and/or phone numbers, as well as the number of affected users. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Apple_says_Siri_isn’t_sending_your conversations_to_advertisers⠀⇛ However, reports about the settlement noted that in earlier filings like this one from 2021, some of the plaintiffs claimed that after they mentioned brand names like “Olive Garden,” “Easton bats,” “Pit Viper sunglasses,” and “Air Jordans,” they were served ads for corresponding products, which they attributed to Siri data. # ⚓ Wired ☛ License_Plate_Readers_Are_Leaking_Real- Time_Video_Feeds_and_Vehicle_Data⠀⇛ This trove of real-time vehicle data, collected by one of Motorola’s ALPR systems, is meant to be accessible by law enforcement. However, a flaw discovered by a security researcher has exposed live video feeds and detailed records of passing vehicles, revealing the staggering scale of surveillance enabled by this widespread technology. More than 150 Motorola ALPR cameras have exposed their video feeds and leaking data in recent months, according to security researcher Matt Brown, who first publicized the issues in a series of YouTube videos after buying an ALPR camera on eBay and reverse engineering it. # ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ TikTok_‘cash-stuffing’ budgeting_trend_contributes_to_rise_in_ATM_use⠀⇛ The “cash stuffing” trend which rose to prominence across 2023 and 2024 on TikTok and beyond involves allocating specific amounts of money to each envelope labelled for different expenditures: grocery, spending, bills and so on. Then, spending on those different categories is taken directly from the allocated amounts available, helping people visually detail exactly how much they have left. # § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-12-28_[Older]_Elon_Musk_backs far-right_AfD_in_German_op-ed [Ed: Why would any government agency still maintain presence in "X"?]⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-12-29_[Older]_German_chancellor candidate_Merz_slams_Musk_over_AfD_stance⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-12-29_[Older]_German_gymnastics launches_abuse_probe_over_Tabea_Alt_allegations⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-12-28_[Older]_Afghan_Taliban strike_targets_inside_Pakistan⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-12-29_[Older]_North_Korea_vows 'toughest'_anti-US_stance_in_party_meeting⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-12-29_[Older]_Rohingya_refugees in_India_struggle_for_children's_future⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-12-29_[Older]_Magdeburg_attack: Over_€600,000_donated_to_victims,_families⠀⇛ # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ 2024-12-29_[Older]_The_Role_of Social_Media_in_Facilitating_Terrorism:_A_Growing Threat_to_Global_Security⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2024-12-29_[Older]_A Fourth_Infant_Dies_of_the_Winter_Cold_in_Gaza_as Families_Share_Blankets_in_Seaside_Tents⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-12-31_[Older]_Why_abductions_in Kenya_pose_a_threat_to_national_security⠀⇛ # ⚓ NL Times ☛ 2025-01-04_[Older]_Explosive_thrown_at security_guards_outside_Tilburg_coffeeshop⠀⇛ # ⚓ Defence Web ☛ 2025-01-03_[Older]_Not_enough_infantry sees_other_SA_Army_musterings_used_for_border protection⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2025-01-03_[Older]_The French_Quarter's_Metal_Barriers_Were_Gone_on_New Year's,_Leaving_a_Critical_Security_Gap⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-12-30_[Older]_WHO_still_waiting on_COVID_origins_data_from_China⠀⇛ # ⚓ FAIR ☛ Why_the_Right_Calls_Mangione_the_‘Ivy_League’ Killer⠀⇛ How do murder suspects get their media nicknames? Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of shooting and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, has been called the “CEO killer” or some variation by ABC (12/24/24) and some of its affiliates (KABC, 12/20/24; KGO, 12/24/24). The name makes sense, as the victim’s stature and the place of his murder—a hotel where a company- related meeting was to take place—was the aspect of the crime that made it sensational news. This is similar to how Theodore Kaczynski became the “Unabomber,” because his targets were universities and airlines. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Is_he_serious?_Allies_wary_as_Trump threatens_Greenland,_Panama,_Canada⠀⇛ Imagine if Vladimir Putin or Pooh-tin Jinping threatened a hostile takeover of Greenland or the Panama Canal. # ⚓ Michigan Advance ☛ Whitmer_issues_Muslim_American Heritage_Month_proclamation_•_Michigan_Advance⠀⇛ Michigan’s Muslim population is estimated at about 240,000 or 2.4% of the state. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Opinion_|_Don’t_Underestimate_the Enduring_Power_of_ISIS⠀⇛ For 20 years, I’ve been studying Western recruits to domestic and transnational terrorist organizations. I’ve interviewed jihadis, white-nationalist terrorists and eco-terrorists to understand their motivations and to prevent future violence. In my view, the appeal of some of the most crucial elements that ISIS offered to vulnerable or confused Western recruits — doctrinal certainty, identity, redemption and revenge — are as strong as ever, and will continue to resonate with people who can find it online. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Finland_Says_Ship_Linked_To_Cable_Damage_Not Seaworthy_As_NATO_Boosts_Baltic_Presence⠀⇛ Finland is currently conducting a criminal investigation into the oil tanker Eagle S. It is suspected of sabotaging the EstLink- 2 power cable -- which sends electricity between Finland and Estonia -- on December 25. Several other incidents have taken place in recent months in the Baltic Sea, including damage to an Internet cable linking Finland and Germany and another linking Finland and Sweden. # ⚓ [Repeat] Tom's Hardware ☛ Chinese_company_accused_of shipping_kamikaze_drone_parts_to_Russia_through elaborate_re-selling_and_rebranding_scheme⠀⇛ Labas explains that friendly Taiwanese and Ukrainians living in Taiwan unearthed a 'double operation' to circumvent sanctions and discredit the named Taiwanese manufacturer. After publicly apologizing to TRC in this update post, he described the elaborate scheme used by China's KST to dodge sanctions with its servo drives. # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ EU_vows_'energetic' probe_into_Musk's_X⠀⇛ The European Commission’s digital czar, Henna Virkkunen, and justice chief Michael McGrath said the executive arm will come to a conclusion “as early as legally possible”, in a letter to European lawmakers this week. It’s the strongest statement about the probe yet from the new group of EU commissioners and shows how X has taken on greater significance as Musk has used the platform to promote right-wing candidates globally. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Will_Donald_Trump_be_able_to_save TikTok_in_the_US?⠀⇛ TikTok has become a politically influential medium worldwide, especially among younger voters. The US is not the first country in the world to seek a ban. In India, TikTok was banned in 2020 over security concerns. In Romania, TikTok is believed to have significantly influenced last year's presidential election. The results were annulled following reports that Russia may have used TikTok to support pro-Russian, far- right politician Calin Georgescu. The European Union has launched an investigation in response to the allegations. In Albania, a one-year ban on TikTok was imposed at the end of 2024, not due to political interference but for youth protection reasons, after teenagers organized a knife fight on the platform. "It would be naive to think Europe won't see more TikTok bans," said Oechler, who is closely monitoring recent developments regarding the social video app. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ TikTok,_Facing_a_US_Ban,_Is_Also Waging_Legal_Battles_Around_the_World⠀⇛ This week in the United States, where about 150 million people use the app, TikTok and its Chinese parent company, ByteDance, are asking the Supreme Court to strike down a law that would force the app to be sold or banned. TikTok has confronted legal and political scrutiny around the world in recent years, facing outright or partial bans in at least 20 countries, as governments have grown alarmed by its ties to China and its wide influence, especially among young people. # ⚓ NYPost ☛ Florida_TikToker_who_killed_6_people_avoids 55-year_prison_sentence⠀⇛ The deal means Galle avoided trial where he could have been hit with a minimum 55-year sentence or a maximum of 90 years in prison, although consecutive sentences for each count are almost never imposed by the courts unless a defendant has a significant prior record of crimes, a spokesperson for West Palm Beach Chief Assistant State Attorney Al Johnson told Fox News Digital. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ EU_races_to_conclude_investigation_into X’s_content_moderation_efforts⠀⇛ In the letter, the EU’s justice chief Michael McGrath and tech policy leader Henna Virkkunen vowed to “energetically” push the investigation forward. Bloomberg reports that the letter was prompted by a complaint from center-right German lawmakers over concerns regarding Elon Musk’s promotion of Germany’s far-right party leader on X. # ⚓ Spiegel ☛ Boost_for_the_Right_Wing:_Why_Did_a_German Newspaper_Help_Elon_Musk_Interfere_in_German Politics?⠀⇛ Two days prior, on December 28, the paper’s Sunday edition, called Welt am Sonntag, had printed a guest editorial by Elon Musk, in which the American billionaire called on German voters to support the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) in upcoming parliamentary elections. # ⚓ Hindustan Times ☛ Donald_Trump_asks_Supreme_Court_to block_New_York_hush_money_case_sentencing⠀⇛ Trump's lawyers turned to the nation's highest court Wednesday after New York courts refused to postpone the sentencing by Judge Juan M. Merchan, who presided over Trump's trial and conviction last May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The Supreme Court asked for a response from prosecutors in New York by Thursday. # ⚓ Michigan Advance ☛ What_Michigan_officials_said_about the_4th_anniversary_of_the_attack_on_the_U.S._Capitol⠀⇛ Monday marks the first Jan. 6 anniversary since Trump was reelected and Washington, D.C., was quiet as Congress certified the 2024 election. With Trump set to be inaugurated in less than two weeks, there were far fewer statements from officials about Jan. 6, 2021. A Whitmer spokesperson didn’t respond to a request for comment on Monday about the Jan. 6 anniversary. Here’s a roundup of some Michigan politicos who did mark the event. # ⚓ TwinCities Pioneer Press ☛ Trump_asks_Supreme_Court to_block_sentencing_in_hush_money_case_in_New_York⠀⇛ Trump's lawyers turned to the nation's highest court after New York courts refused to do postpone sentencing # ⚓ New York Times ☛ As_Elon_Musk_Embraces_the_Far_Right, Some_of_Its_Leaders_Reject_Him⠀⇛ Mr. Musk has fallen out with prominent right- wing Americans who say they are worried that their agenda may be sidelined in favor of his own — and that he is willing to silence them on X. # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ EU_Commission_urged_to_act_over Elon_Musk’s_‘interference’_in_elections⠀⇛ The conversation with Musk, whose website claims he has 211.4 million followers, is seen as handing a significant advantage to the AfD as Germany prepares for elections on 23 February. Damian Boeselager, an MEP, co-founder of the pan-European Volt party and candidate for the Bundestag in the German election, has written to the Commission urging it to examine Musk’s “interference” in European elections. # ⚓ New Statesman ☛ Elon_Musk_has_designs_on_the_whole_of Europe⠀⇛ Qui tacet consentire videtur – he who is silent is seen to consent. For years, mainstream media outlets hesitated to confront the growing reality of Musk’s unchecked power. Instead, they chose to downplay the obvious, avoiding the harsh truth and refusing to label him for what he unquestionably is: a political propagandist with hard-right sympathies. Musk’s descent into extremism is now becoming evident. His spreading of QAnon conspiracy theories and the most dangerous strands of Covid-19 misinformation served as indicators. By August 2024, his global platform was solidified, from which he helped to circulate the Islamophobic, anti-migrant riots in the UK. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ Elon_Musk_aims_his_digital_megaphone_at Europe._Why?⠀⇛ With his rightward political turn and campaign spending, Elon Musk has already shaken up U.S. politics, helping Donald Trump win a second term and muscling into his inner circle. Now the billionaire entrepreneur is throwing his weight around in European politics. In recent weeks, Mr. Musk has endorsed far- right parties and politicians in Europe and used X, the social media platform he owns, to push his brand of antiestablishment politics. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Verizon_to_upgrade_network_kit_on 35_US_Air_Force_bases⠀⇛ Whether the deal was made before or after Verizon admitted to having been part of the group of US telecom providers breached by the Salt Typhoon group of Chinese-linked cyberspies is unknown, and Verizon didn't respond to our questions for this story. Salt Typhoon gained a foothold in an estimated nine US telecom companies, Verizon among them, last year, reportedly accessing law enforcement data-sharing systems and general internet traffic from individuals and businesses. # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Couple_to_be_tried_for_alleged_ethnic hatred_against_Ukrainians⠀⇛ The State Police have sent a criminal case to the prosecutor's office involving a married couple who made hateful remarks against a Ukrainian citizen at a public event and caused physical injuries, police said January 8. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Several_killed_in_Russian_missile attack_on_Ukraine's_Zaporizhzhia⠀⇛ At least 13 civilians have been killed, and around 30 injured in a missile strike on the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, officials said Wednesday. Footage posted on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's Telegram channel showed civilians lying in a city street in the aftermath of the attack, with the president saying the country had "a right to demand serious security guarantees" from its allies. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Austin_Expected_To_Announce_Military Aid_Package_At_Ukraine_Defense_Contact_Group Meeting⠀⇛ U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is scheduled to meet on January 9 with the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Ramstein, Germany, and is expected to announce another large package of military aid. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Deadly_Russian_Strike_On_Zaporizhzhya Causes_Dozens_Of_Casualties⠀⇛ A Russian strike on the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhya has killed more than a dozen people and wounded scores of civilians. The January 8 strike caused extensive destruction in the city's industrial district as firefighters worked to put out several blazes. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Telegram: "There is nothing more cruel than air strikes on a city, with the knowledge that ordinary civilians will suffer." # ⚓ RFERL ☛ At_Least_13_Killed,_Dozens_Injured_In Russian_Strike_On_Zaporizhzhya⠀⇛ Ukrainian officials said at least 13 people were killed and dozens injured in a Russian air strike on the southern city of Zaporizhzhya, the latest in a series of Russian attacks causing widespread civilian casualties. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Kursk_Battles_Rage_As_U.S._Set_To Unveil_'Final'_Aid_Package_Under_Biden⠀⇛ The Ukrainian military continued its drive in Russia's Kursk region late on January 7, claiming it hit a key Russian command post, while Washington is reportedly set to announce a "substantial" final weapons package under the current administration. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ US_warns_North_Korea becoming_better_prepared_for_war,_fighting against_Ukraine⠀⇛ More than 12,000 North Korean troops are in Russia and in December began fighting against Ukrainian forces. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ Quiet_streets,_ghost_towns:_How Russia_is_changing_Ukraine⠀⇛ Russia’s war of depopulation is worsening Ukraine’s demographic crisis; the population has fallen from 52 million in 1991 to 35 million today. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Russian_Strike_Kills_13_in Southeastern_Ukraine⠀⇛ The attack, which also wounded dozens of people, came hours after Ukraine’s military attacked an oil depot deep inside Russia. # ⚓ North_Koreans_kick_Russians_out_of_their_homes to_hide_from_drones:_report⠀⇛ North Koreans fighting in Kursk are proving to be easy targets for Ukrainian drones, Ukrainian military said. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘We_expected_the_war_to_end’:_How Russian_political_elites_feel_about_the_full- scale_invasion_of_Ukraine_dragging_into_2025_— Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Ukraine’s_investigative_agency_arrests company_commander_from_brigade_under_desertion investigation_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Trump_team_shaves_two_months_off president-elect’s_latest_Ukraine_peace_deal timeline_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ 81_strikes:_How_Ukrainian_drone attacks_disrupted_Russian_oil_production_and_fuel prices_in_2024_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russian_airstrike_on_Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia_kills_13_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ See_Ukrainian_marines_fighting_near Kurakhove,_just_days_before_the_key_Donbas_city fell_to_Russian_forces_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Latvian-Russian_border_will_need_€80 million_in_next_two_years⠀⇛ Almost EUR 80 million are needed this year and next to build a 201-kilometer technological infrastructure on the Latvian-Russian land border, according to forecasts by the Ministry of the Interior, which were presented to the government during the closed part of the session on Tuesday, January 7. # ⚓ Atlantic Council ☛ Is_2025_the_year_that Russia’s_economy_finally_freezes_up_under sanctions?⠀⇛ It’s taken years, but the Russian economy now appears to be experiencing the full effects of international sanctions. The first signs appeared at the end of 2024. # ⚓ LRT ☛ Google_removes_201_sites_with_Russian channels_at_Lithuanian_watchdog’s_request⠀⇛ Google has removed 201 blocked websites providing access to EU-sanctioned Russian TV programs from its search engine, the Lithuanian Radio and Television Commission (LRTC) said on Tuesday. # ⚓ Atlantic Council ☛ Sanctioned_kleptocracy:_How Putin’s_kremligarchs_have_survived_the_war—and even_prospered⠀⇛ The latest report in the Atlantic Council’s Russia Tomorrow series explores how Russia’s kleptocratic networks infiltrated the West and measures the US and Europe can take to combat the malign influence of Russian kleptocracy around the globe. # ⚓ LRT ☛ Lithuania’s_ventilation_system_maker still_has_plant_in_Russia,_plans_to_sell_it⠀⇛ Komfovent, a ventilation equipment manufacturer owned by Lithuania’s Amalva Group, still owns a factory in the Russian city of Ryazan but says it has already signed a deal to sell it, the 15min news website reported on Tuesday. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ U.S._Lawmakers_Seek_To_Ban_Recognition Of_Georgian_Government,_Report_Says⠀⇛ U.S. lawmakers are poised to introduce a bill prohibiting the recognition of a Georgian Dream government less than two weeks after the party's Russia-friendly billionaire founder was sanctioned for undermining Georgia's democracy for the "benefit of the Russian Federation." # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russia_deported_more_than_80,000 migrants_in_2024_—_almost_twice_as_many_as_the year_before_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ The Dissenter ☛ Biden's_Legacy:_Fundamentally Changing_Nothing_For_Whistleblowers⠀⇛ # ⚓ FAIR ☛ ‘Media_Institutions_Have_Played_a_Direct_Role in_Undermining_Democracy’:_Transcript_of_The_Best_of CounterSpin_2024⠀⇛ # ⚓ Chris Coyier ☛ Check-in-the-Mail_IRL_Spam_(Canada Dry)⠀⇛ The scam part comes in where they want you to send a copy of your “deposit slip” to them in which you’ll inadvertently send sensitive information. I guess? Or the fact that if they get contacted at all from one of these marks that you’re signaling gullibility and they’ll try and get their hooks in you some way or another. # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ Ex-FBI_Informant_Who Fabricated_Claims_About_Bidens_Sentenced_to_6_Years⠀⇛ A former FBI informant who admitted to lying about U.S. President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden’s interactions with a Ukrainian energy company was sentenced to six years in prison on Wednesday, court records showed. # § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2025-01-03_[Older]_US Chamber,_Oil_Industry_Sue_Vermont_Over_Law_Requiring Companies_to_Pay_for_Climate_Change_Damage⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-01-01_[Older]_Disaster-wary Philippines_leads_push_for_climate_justice⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-12-31_[Older]_Warming_climate,_wacky weather_create_skating_trail_trials_and_tribulations⠀⇛ # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ 2024-12-28_[Older]_The_Heat_of Violence:_Climate_Change_and_Gender-Based_Abuse⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ 2024-12-28_[Older]_Biden_Moves_to_Protect Climate_Progress_From_Trump,_But_Advocates_Want_More⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ 2024-12-28_[Older]_Report:_Climate_Crisis Is_Causing_3_Quarters_of_the_World’s_Land_to_Dry_Out⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-12-27_[Older]_As_P.E.I.'s_only_ski_hill opens,_some_wonder_how_climate_change_will_affect_the pastime_they_love⠀⇛ # ⚓ Doc Searls ☛ On_the_Palisades_and_Eaton_Fires⠀⇛ Winds are so strong that there is no fire fighting on the front as it moves east and southeast. Gusts are up to 85 miles per hour. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ The_Palisades_Were_Waiting_to_Burn⠀⇛ The hills were ready to burn. It’s January, well past the time of year when fire season in Southern California is supposed to end. But in this part of the semi-arid chaparral called Los Angeles, fire season can now be any time. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ In_the_Palisades,_an_Evacuation Disaster_Was_Years_in_the_Making⠀⇛ The abandoned cars near Pacific Palisades — many dented and broken when a bulldozer had to plow through them to make way for emergency crews — became a symbol of Los Angeles’s desperate attempt to mobilize against what is shaping up to be the most destructive fire in its history. # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ A_fire_is_forcing_you_to evacuate._What_do_you_pack?⠀⇛ There are three types of evacuation alerts: shelter-in-place, evacuation warning and evacuation order, according to Ready L.A. County. # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ Palisades_fire:_With_winds gaining_speed,_'worst_is_yet_to_come'⠀⇛ The fire remained 0% contained at 11 p.m. Tuesday as “extreme fire behavior” continued to challenge firefighters, according to the L.A. County Fire Department. Wind gusts up to 60 mph were expected to continue through Thursday. # ⚓ Wired ☛ California’s_Wildfires_Show_No_Signs_of Slowing_Down⠀⇛ On Tuesday, Santa Ana winds swept seaward through Southern California, scattering embers and then fanning flames of a growing wildfire. By nighttime, residents received urgent text alerts warning of potential 100 mph gusts—a terrifying escalation that transformed a precarious situation into a full-blown crisis. As the winds howled, more embers took flight, sparking new fires in dry, brittle brushlands that hadn’t seen significant rain in over eight months. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2024-12-24_[Older] Airport_With_Runway_Straddling_the_Border_of_the U.S._and_Canada_Will_Close⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2024-12-30_[Older]_Serbia:_Ex- minister_among_13_indicted_for_station_collapse⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ To_save_the_energy_grid_from AI,_use_open_source_AI_software⠀⇛ "It's the biggest change that we've seen in energy and electricity since maybe the invention of the electric grid. And a major part of that transition is digitalization." # ⚓ Task And Purpose ☛ A-10_Warthogs_still_flying in_Middle_East_even_as_retirement_looms⠀⇛ The beloved A-10 Warthog continues to show its worth even though the Air Force is rapidly draining them out of its current fleet and plans to retire all the aircraft in a few years. Most recently, A-10s took part in airstrikes against the Islamic State group, or ISIS, from Dec. 30 to Jan. 6 around Iraq’s Hamrin mountains, U.S. Central Command recently announced. # ⚓ Positech Games ☛ Home_battery_storage expansion,_not_quit_resilient…⠀⇛ In an ideal world, we would also have re-wired the entire house to survive a power-cut and run off the battery. In practice this is REALLY hard to do. Its not the kwh that is the problem, but the kw and the amps. Houses can draw up to 100amps in the UK, and no, no home battery is going to provide that. What SOME home battery installs do is wire ‘some circuits’ so they work in a power-cut. So basically you can have all the sockets in one room, or all the lighting. Thats likely low amps and low power. However it does involve running extra cables and a new fusebox in the cellar, and when we looked at what fuses were behind what sockets… it all turned into a bit of a nightmare. So we went for a bit of a bodge… # ⚓ Advance Local Media LLC ☛ US_Postal_Service_to close_offices,_suspend_mail_on_Jan._9_for national_day_of_mourning⠀⇛ If you need to mail or receive a package via the U.S. Postal Service this week, it might take a little longer to ship. That’s because all regular mail activity, retail services and office activity will be suspended on Thursday, Jan. 9, in observance of a national day of mourning to honor the legacy of former President Jimmy Carter, who died at the age of 100. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Europe_Wanted_to_Lead_the_World_on_EVs. Its_Carmakers_Can’t_Keep_Up⠀⇛ With European EV sales and production lagging behind in comparison, a blame game has arisen between car manufacturers and policymakers. “A regulatory framework that ignores customer needs and market realities—and at the same time, is incapable of creating the necessary conditions for alternative technologies—cannot succeed,” a BMW spokesperson said in a written statement to WIRED, explaining that the company is opposed to the 2035 ban. It added that unless “charging infrastructure, availability of renewable energies and access to raw materials” are addressed, the ban will cause the “entire vehicle market” to contract. Given that the car industry employs 13.8 million people across Europe and represents around 7 percent of the continent’s GDP, such a contraction would be economically disastrous. # ⚓ H2 View ☛ Lithuanian_port_to_use_IMI electrolyser_for_hydrogen_refuelling⠀⇛ When commissioned, the VIVO electrolyser is forecasted to produce 500kg of green hydrogen on-site per day while using an electrical input of 3MW drawn from renewables. The on-site production will mean the refuelling station relies less on imported hydrogen. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ How_Norway_became_the trailblazer_for_electric_vehicles⠀⇛ Norway has become the poster child for the transition to electric vehicles (EVs). Last year, official government statistics showed that almost nine out of every 10 cars sold were electric. In 2023 — the most recent year that data is available — the global EV adoption rate was just 18%, according to the International Energy Agency. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ 2025-01-04_[Older]_Chicago’s Municipal_Government_Now_Runs_Entirely_on Renewable_Energy⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-01-03_[Older]_Wind_and solar_power_drive_Germany's_renewable_energy surge⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ 2024-12-27_[Older]_Gas_Exports_and AI_Boom_Poised_to_Spike_Energy_Prices_for Consumers_Under_Trump⠀⇛ # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ The Revelator ☛ Protect_This_Place:_Torrey Pines_State_Natural_Reserve⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-12-24_[Older]_A_massive_and_menacing Steller's_sea_eagle_is_dazzling_birders_in_a Newfoundland_park⠀⇛ # ⚓ Advance Local Media LLC ☛ Peyote_sacred_to Native_Americans_threatened_by_psychedelic renaissance_and_development⠀⇛ For over two decades, Native American practitioners of peyotism, whose numbers in the U.S. are estimated at 400,000, have raised the alarm about lack of access to peyote, which they reverently call “the medicine.” They say poaching and excessive harvesting of the slow-growing cactus, which flowers and matures over 10 to 30 years, are endangering the species and ruining its delicate habitat. # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ Spiders_‘smell’_with_their legs_–_new_research⠀⇛ Our discovery puts an end to a decade- long search for these elusive sensilla, which have now been both identified and mapped. It also opens up opportunities for in-depth studies on the mechanism underlying spiders’ olfaction. Although spiders – which have been evolving for about 400m years – are renowned for their vibration sense and some, like jumping spiders, for excellent vision, surprisingly little is known about their sense of smell. There has been plenty of evidence showing that spiders can detect odours such as sex pheromones, but two big questions remained unanswered. # § Overpopulation⠀➾ # ⚓ Deseret Media ☛ Fire_hydrants_ran_dry_in California,_highlighting_a_major_problem_in firefighting⠀⇛ The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power was pushing water from aqueducts and groundwater into the system, but demand was so high, it wasn't enough to refill three 1-million gallon tanks in hilly Pacific Palisades that help pressurize hydrants for the neighborhood. They went dry on several occasions and at least 1,000 buildings were engulfed in flames. # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ Lack_of_water_from_hydrants in_Palisades_fire_is_hurting_firefighting efforts,_reports_say⠀⇛ Caruso, a former commissioner of the city’s Board of Water and Power who also ran unsuccessfully for mayor in 2022, contended that the problem stemmed from the issues with the reservoirs that feed the neighborhood’s hydrants. # § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-12-27_[Older]_Vancouver's_Bench_Accounting abruptly_shuts_down,_with_600_potential_jobs_lost⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-12-24_[Older]_'Here_we_go_again':_3rd break-in_of_the_year_leaves_thrift_store_feeling hopeless⠀⇛ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ 2025-01-01_[Older]_US Boomers_'Unretiring'_Due_to_Low_Social_Security Payments_Could_Face_Even_More_Benefit_Cuts⠀⇛ # § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ Will_Justin_Trudeau’s_Resignation_Lead to_the_MAGA-fication_of_Canada?⠀⇛ Pierre Poilievre might now attain the country’s highest office. “I was sickened and appalled when I first came upon his rhetoric,” the staff writer Adam Gopnik says, of the Conservative Party leader. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Amazon_invests_$11B_in_AI datacenters_in_Georgia⠀⇛ The online megacorp forked out around $75 billion on capital expenditure in 2024, according to CEO Andy Jassy, who told financial analysts in October that the business will dig even deeper during this calendar year. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Anthropic_in_Talks_for_$2_Billion Funding_Round⠀⇛ The San Francisco artificial intelligence start-up Anthropic is in talks to raise a new round of funding that could value the company at $60 billion, up from about $16 billion less than a year ago, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ DHS_reveals_new_artificial intelligence_playbook⠀⇛ The Department of Homeland Security released an artificial intelligence playbook on Tuesday aimed at guiding government use of generative AI systems. The document, written for both federal and local officials, represents the culmination of work on artificial intelligence under Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ before the upcoming change in administrations. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Meta_Now_Lets_Users_Say_Gay_and_Trans_People Have_‘Mental_Illness’⠀⇛ In other words, Meta now appears to permit users to accuse transgender or gay people of being mentally ill because of their gender expression and sexual orientation. The company did not respond to requests for clarification on the policy. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ What’s_Behind_Meta’s_Makeover_Ahead of_Trump’s_Second_Term?⠀⇛ Given the headaches associated with running his quasi-governments, the last thing Mr. Zuckerberg wanted was to become too enmeshed with actual governments — the kind that could use the force of law to demand that he censor certain voices, thumb the scale on politically sensitive topics or threaten to throw Meta executives in jail for noncompliance. But that was then. Now, on the eve of a second Trump term, Mr. Zuckerberg is giving his company a full MAGA makeover. # ⚓ Open Web Advocacy ☛ Open_Web_Advocacy_2024_in_Review -_Open_Web_Advocacy⠀⇛ If you’re new to Open Web Advocacy (OWA) we are a non-profit organization committed to pushing greater competition within the browser and Web App ecosystems. Our objectives are: [...] # ⚓ YLE ☛ Elon_Musk_responds_to_Finn's_criticism_with crude_slur⠀⇛ "Elon Musk is rapidly becoming the largest spreader of disinformation in human history, hijacking political debates in the process. The EU must take action!" Askola's post read. # ⚓ YLE ☛ Elon_Musk_responds_to_Finn's_criticism_with crude_slur⠀⇛ Askola noted that he does not follow Musk on X, and didn't tag him in the post. "The fact he reacted was a surprise, but his style of reaction was not. He is a pretty pathetic person in my opinion. He's the most powerful man in the world and yet he yells at some random person like me in the middle of the night," Askola said. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Google_Deindexes_200_Streaming Sites_For_Violating_EU_Sanctions_on_Russia⠀⇛ After quickly running out of patience, the EU banned all three broadcasters and many others (list) from transmitting from or to any EU member state, using any technical means. Whether by cable, satellite, websites or IPTV, the ban applied across the board to prevent (or at least limit) the spread of what the EU described as disinformation and propaganda. # ⚓ Michael Geist ☛ New_Era_and_New_Risks:_Meta’s Content_Moderation_Reforms_and_Freedom_of Expression_Online⠀⇛ With more than three billion users, the implications of the decision are enormous assuming the same approach is taken in all markets (the company is starting in the U.S.). But beyond what it means for Facebook and Instagram users, the change is likely part of a broader shift in Internet regulation with the pendulum swinging back toward lighter touch rules coming out of the United States. In other words, the recent experience on Twitter that has left many uncomfortable may become the norm, not the outlier. # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ Meta_is_ushering_in_a_‘world without_facts’,_says_Nobel_peace_prize_winner⠀⇛ The Nobel peace prize winner Maria Ressa has said Meta’s decision to end factchecking on its platforms and remove restrictions on certain topics means “extremely dangerous times” lie ahead for journalism, democracy and social media users. The American-Filipino journalist said Mark Zuckerberg’s move to relax content moderation on the Facebook and Instagram platforms would lead to a “world without facts” and that was “a world that’s right for a dictator”. # ⚓ Wired ☛ No_Fact-Checking_and_More_Hate_Speech: Meta_Goes_MAGA⠀⇛ Zuckerberg first indicated that he might be OK with the term in a simpering letter he wrote last August to Republican Congressman Jim Jordan, saying that the Biden administration wanted Meta to “censor” some content related to the Covid-19 pandemic. (The content remained, which actually illustrates that Facebook is granted the power to shape free expression in the US, not the government.) But in his Instagram post yesterday, Zuckerberg bear-hugged the term, using it as a synonym for the entire practice of content moderation itself. “We’re going to dramatically reduce the amount of censorship on our platforms,” he promised. An alternate reading might be—we’re letting the dobermans out! # ⚓ Wired ☛ Meta_Is_Taking_All_the_Wrong_Lessons From_X⠀⇛ It may soon be hard to tell the difference. Meta this week said it would torpedo its fact-checking partners in favor of X’s “community notes” model (a comparison Meta chief global policy officer Joel Kaplan made directly in a blog post yesterday) and used the fig leaf of “free speech” to make alarmingly permissive changes to its Hateful Conduct policy. Last week, it appointed friend of Donald Trump and Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White to its board, and elevated Kaplan, who is firmly entrenched in Republican circles. # ⚓ John Goerzen ☛ Censorship_Is_Complicated:_What Internet_History_Says_about_Meta/Facebook⠀⇛ In light of this week’s announcement by Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads, etc), I have been pondering this question: Why am I, a person that has long been a staunch advocate of free speech and encryption, leery of sites that talk about being free speech- oriented? And, more to the point, why an I — a person that has been censored by Facebook for mentioning the Open Source social network Mastodon — not cheering a “lighter touch”? The answers are complicated, and take me back to the early days of social networking. Yes, I mean the 1980s and 1990s. # ⚓ BoingBoing ☛ Zuckerberg:_facts_get_in_the_way of_free_speech⠀⇛ Mark Zuckerberg has announced that Meta will bow a knee to convicted felon and re-elected President Donald Trump, offering him the gift of unfettered disinformation. # ⚓ CBC ☛ Meta_to_end_fact-checking_program_on Facebook,_Instagram_in_U.S.⠀⇛ A spokesperson for Meta confirmed to CBC News that the changes won't apply in Canada or anywhere else outside of the U.S. for now. "We are beginning with rolling out community notes in the [U.S.], and will continue to improve it over the course of the year before expansion to other countries," the spokesperson said. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Meta_Ditches_Fact-Checkers_Ahead_of Trump's_Second_Term⠀⇛ Meta’s decision could have a direct negative impact on media organizations in the US who partner with the company for fact-checking, including Reuters and USA Today. Meta's fact-checking partners did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Facebook has already contributed to the demise of journalism and this will be the final nail in the coffin,” Nina Jankowicz, the former Biden administration disinformation czar who is now CEO of the American Sunlight Project, said in an emailed statement. “Newsrooms get grants from Facebook to provide fact-checks. That money allows them to do other journalism. Zuckerberg’s announcement is a full bending of the knee to Trump and an attempt to catch up to Musk in his race to the bottom. Fact-checking was not a panacea to disinformation on Facebook but it was an important part of moderation.” # ⚓ [Repeat] Wired ☛ No_Fact-Checking_and_More_Hate Speech:_Meta_Goes_MAGA⠀⇛ Another indication that there’s a MAGA element to these changes is Zuckerberg’s announcement that he’s moving Meta’s trust and safety and content moderation teams from California to Texas. Once again, he said out loud that the reasons for the geographical move were political: “I think that will help us build trust to do this work in places where there is less concern about the bias of our teams.” Hello, Mark? This move simply anchors Meta’s content arbiters in a location with a potentially different bias. It’s also a conspicuous statement that Zuckerberg himself might consider California—Trump’s kryptonite—as a less savory place to work than deep-red Texas. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Meta’s_Fact-Checking_Partners_Say_They Were_‘Blindsided’_by_Decision_to_Axe_Them⠀⇛ “We heard the news just like everyone else,” says Alan Duke, cofounder and editor in chief of fact-checking site Lead Stories, which started working with Meta in 2019. “No advance notice.” # ⚓ The Washington Post ☛ What_Meta_ending_fact checks_means_for_Facebook,_Instagram_users⠀⇛ If you’re a regular user of Meta’s social media apps — Facebook, Instagram or Threads — that means you’ll no longer see warnings on posts that are flagged as untrue, such as conspiracy theories or disinformation. Instead, the company will outsource that job to its users over the next few months by letting them leave “Community Notes” under debated posts, similar to what X has done. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Meta_to_offer_wider_range_of_speech on_platforms,_CEO_says⠀⇛ Kate Starbird, a University of Washington professor of human-centered design and engineering, said on the social media site Bluesky that Meta's decision will hamper people's ability to find out the truth. "One remaining concern for me is that even people who WANT to find accurate information are going to be challenged to do it, because we're going to lose the groups that do this fact-checking work — unless non-profits step in to fill what is going to be a huge funding gap," she posted. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Meta’s_Community_Notes_faces backlash_over_misinformation,_accountability concerns⠀⇛ "This is a major step back for content moderation at a time when disinformation and harmful content are evolving faster than ever," said Ross Burley, cofounder of the non-profit Centre for Information Resilience. # § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘The_number_of_words_you_can_say_keeps shrinking’:_Meduza_investigates_how_wartime_censorship has_(and_hasn’t)_reshaped_Russia’s_book_industry_— Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russian_streaming_platforms_censor_American film_‘Anora’_to_crop_out_scenes_of_drug_use_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Nightclub_in_Russia’s_Far_East_fined_for allegedly_‘promoting_non-traditional_sexual relationships’_—_Meduza⠀⇛ # ⚓ Truthdig ☛ WaPo_Kills_Cartoon_That_Mocked_the_Boss⠀⇛ But after watching a parade of Big Tech CEOs jet down to Mar-a-Lago to pay homage — and millions of dollars — to Trump, a cartoon depicting these groveling billionaires must have seemed natural, even if it included her own boss, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and owner of the Post since 2013. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ How_has_the_Charlie_Hebdo_attack_changed French_cartooning?⠀⇛ The Jan. 7, 2015, attack on the Paris offices of French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo deeply shocked France. It was as much an attack on Charlie Hebdo cartoonists as it was an attack on French values: satire, freedom of expression, and secularism, or laïcité. But the French debate over whether to show images of the prophet Muhammad, which many Muslims view as sacrilegious, is still being waged today. So too do the French disagree on the limits of satire and blasphemy, despite their honored places in French culture. # ⚓ CJR ☛ The_Unresolved_Legacy_of_the_Charlie_Hebdo Massacre_-_Columbia_Journalism_Review⠀⇛ Around the same time, Samuel Paty, a schoolteacher in the Paris suburbs, displayed Muhammad cartoons as part of a lesson on freedom of expression and the meaning of the “Je Suis Charlie” slogan. (He reportedly offered students who might be offended the opportunity not to look at the cartoons.) Soon after, Paty was decapitated while walking down the street—part of another wider spasm of Islamist terror in France. Macron made remarks defending the publication of blasphemous cartoons, sparking a furious diplomatic reckoning with various majority- Muslim countries—in particular Turkey, which, among other things, threatened legal and diplomatic action against Charlie Hebdo over a scurrilous cartoon depicting Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, its president. # ⚓ RFI ☛ Charlie_Hebdo_vaunts_its_'indestructibility'_10 years_after_massacre⠀⇛ The Kouachi brothers, who had pledged allegiance to Al-Qaeda, attacked Charlie Hebdo on 7 January 2015, killing eight staff members, including cartoonists Cabu, Charb, Honoré, Tignous and Wolinski. The satirical weekly had, since 2006, riled Islamists with its caricatures of the Propet Mohammed. # ⚓ Associated Press ☛ AP_PHOTOS:_The_Charlie_Hebdo slaughter_and_follow-up_terror_attacks_10_years_ago that_changed_France⠀⇛ As France was reeling from the attack, terror struck again. With a massive police manhunt closing in on brothers Chérif and Saïd Kouachi, cornering the Charlie Hebdo killers in the industrial zone of a town northeast of Paris, accomplice Amédy Coulibaly, armed with an assault rifle, pistols and explosives, stormed a kosher grocery store in Paris, killing four people and taking others hostage. “You are Jews and French, the two things I hate the most,” he told his hostages. Ultimately, all three attackers died in near- simultaneous police raids. # ⚓ The Telegraph UK ☛ Charlie_Hebdo_publishes_‘laugh_at God’_competition_on_10th_anniversary_of_Paris_terror attack⠀⇛ Amongst the sometimes crude and sexually explicit images, one referred to the Prophet Mohammed with the caption: “If I sketch someone who is drawing someone who is drawing someone who is drawing Mohammed, is that OK?” # ⚓ IFEX ☛ Cartoonists_mark_the_10th_anniversary_of_the attack_on_"Charlie_Hebdo"_magazine_-_IFEX⠀⇛ As an organization dedicated to defending the human rights of cartoonists, we know how often they face harassment, intimidation, and violence simply for doing their job. Protecting cartoonists is about more than ensuring their safety – it’s about preserving the diversity of view and freedom of expression that underpins democratic societies. We commend the French president, Emmanuel Macron and the Ministère de la Culture’s efforts to establish a Maison du Dessin de Presse in Paris. While it is very important that such an institute preserves and promotes editorial cartooning and its cherished position within French culture, it will also serve as a beacon for cartoonists maligned and abused in other parts of the world. As such, we sincerely hope that consideration is given in policy, provision made in budget, and space reserved within the location itself for the needs of exiled cartoonists, comparable to that found in other Maison du Journalistes and places of safety for writers and artists around Europe. # ⚓ [Old] Euractive ☛ European_media_grieves_for_Charlie Hebdo_-_Euractiv⠀⇛ Media companies the world over paid tribute to the French paper Charlie Hebdo following the terrorist attack on their offices on 7 January. Television stations and websites from South Africa to Argentina, and Australia to the United States, broadcast the paper's famous satirical cartoons. The front pages of the daily papers in France all carried a reference to Charlie Hebdo, many with black backgrounds, caricature drawings, banners or the slogan "Je suis Charlie". # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ Facebook_Is_Censoring_404_Media_Stories About_Facebook's_Censorship⠀⇛ “Our findings suggest that although Meta has the technology to automatically detect pornographic content, it does not apply it to enforce its community standards on advertisements as it does for non-sponsored content,” AI Forensics said in its report. “This double standard is not a temporary bug, but persisted since as early as, at least, December 2023.” # ⚓ Alabama Reflector ☛ Librarians_gain_protections_in some_states_as_book_bans_soar⠀⇛ “We just hear so many stories of our librarians feeling threatened and targeted,” said Grant, who works at Parkway Elementary School and serves as president of the New Jersey Association of School Librarians. “This has been a wrong, an injustice that needs to be made right.” Amid a national rise in book bans in school libraries and new laws in some red states that threaten criminal penalties against librarians, a growing number of blue states are taking the opposite approach. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Charlie_Hebdo's_anniversary_edition: A_playful_jab_at_God⠀⇛ Since it was founded in 1970, Charlie Hebdo has been known for testing the boundaries of what can and can't be said according to French hate speech laws. The magazine not only makes fun of Islam, but also of Christianity and Judaism. According to French law, as long as violence is not incited and minorities are protected, mockery of religion is permitted. # § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ Fact-Checking_Is_Finally_Free_of Facebook⠀⇛ The idea that something called “fact- checking” could be (or could have been) reasonably applied to social-media posts, in aggregate, is absurd. Social-media posts can be wrong, of course, even dangerously so. And single claims from single posts can sometimes be adjudicated as being true or false. But the formulation of those distinctions and decisions is not fact-checking, per se. That’s because fact-checking is, specifically, a component part of doing journalism. It is a way of creating knowledge invented by one particular profession. I don’t mean that journalists have any special power to discern the truth of given statements. Naturally, people attempt to validate the facts they see, news-related or otherwise, all the time. But fact-checking, as a professional practice linked to the publication of news stories and nonfiction books, refers to something more—something that no social-media platform would ever try to do. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ VOA_Persian:_Iran_is_'a_repressor_of_press freedom,'_leader_of_journalists’_federation_tells_VOA⠀⇛ Anthony Bellanger, general secretary of the International Federation of Journalists, told VOA that Iran is "a repressor of press freedom," and he urged foreign journalists to be " as cautious as possible" when traveling to countries such as Iran. # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ Italian_journalist_Cecilia_Sala freed_from_detention_in_Iran⠀⇛ A plane carrying the 29-year-old took off from Tehran after “intensive work on diplomatic and intelligence channels”, a statement from the office of the prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, said. The flight is due to arrive at Rome’s Ciampino airport at 3.30pm local time. Sala, a reporter for Il Foglio, was arrested on 19 December on charges of breaching Islamic law – three days after she arrived in the country on a journalist visa. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Italian_Podcaster_Held_By_Tehran_Released,_On Way_Home⠀⇛ No details of the charges were made public, but they came after Sala posted a podcast from Tehran on December 17 about patriarchy in the Iranian capital. # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Trump_lawsuits_latest:_President- elect's_war_on_the_media⠀⇛ US President-elect Donald Trump has three ongoing lawsuits against the media in a pattern described as “a campaign of legal intimidation… for publishing journalism he doesn’t like”. The scale of the legal action from an incoming president has raised concerns about threats to the free press in a country where the First Amendment of its Constitution is intended to protect freedom of speech. # ⚓ ANF News ☛ MKG:_30_women_journalists_assaulted_in 2024,_8_sent_to_prison⠀⇛ The Mesopotamia Women Journalists Association (MKG) shared its report on rights violations against women journalists throughout 2024 with the public during a press conference held at the association's headquarters. The Kurdish and Turkish presentations of the report were delivered by MKG member Rojda Aydın and MKG executive Arjin Dilek Öncel. # ⚓ NL Times ☛ Courtroom_journalist_Saskia_Belleman_is awarded_the_Machiavelli_prize_for_communication⠀⇛ Court reporter Saskia Belleman has been awarded the Machiavelli Prize. The award is presented annually by the Machiavelli Foundation to a person or organization for a remarkable achievement in the field of public communication. On her X account, the Telegraaf journalist responded: "What a great start to 2025!" Belleman has “made the court accessible to a large and broad public. She also contributes to the transparency of and understanding of the law. An indispensable pillar of our much- discussed constitutional state,” said the jury for the award. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Italian_journalist_Cecelia_Sala_freed_from Iran’s_Evin_Prison⠀⇛ An Italian journalist detained in Iran for three weeks was released Wednesday and is returning home, Italian officials said. Cecelia Sala was released following “intensive work on diplomatic and intelligence channels,” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s office said. # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ An_Italian_Journalist_Is Freed_From_Detention_in_Iran_and_Is_Returning_Home⠀⇛ An Italian journalist detained in Iran for three weeks was freed Wednesday and was heading home, after her fate had become intertwined with that of an Iranian engineer arrested in Italy and wanted by the United States. # § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ NL Times ☛ 2025-01-02_[Older]_Security_services_were monitoring_women's_rights_movements_post-war⠀⇛ # ⚓ Defence Web ☛ 2025-01-02_[Older]_Better_policing_in South_Africa_is_well_within_reach⠀⇛ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Facebook_Now_Allows_Calling_Women_Personal Property⠀⇛ Meta's new hate speech rules — or lack thereof — now allow users to make shockingly misogynistic claims on the company's social networks. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Kentucky_Police_Kill_Innocent_Man_While Serving_Warrant_At_Wrong_Address⠀⇛ If officers are unfamiliar with the area they’ll be serving warrants in, it would make sense to engage in a little surveillance ahead of time to ensure the deadly mistakes like these aren’t made. But they never do because the government always believes the innocent people caught off guard by truly unexpected invasions of their personal space are in the wrong for reacting in ways cops somehow still don’t expect them to react. And yet, for the most part, officers and their employers are given a free pass for killing innocent people, so long as officers believed the person they gunned down was actually the criminal suspect they were seeking to apprehend. # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ A_union_says_the_FAA_doesn’t use_its_own_people_enough⠀⇛ Among its biggest challenges, the FAA has a constant need to install new equipment while keeping the old stuff going. That task falls to members of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, or PASS. The union represents FAA employees who deal with aging technology and sometimes a shortage of spare parts. PASS told a Senate committee that the FAA is too slow to develop its technical workforce and is not moving fast enough to stay ahead of aging infrastructure. PASS president Dave Spero joined The Federal Drive with Tom Temin for more. # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ Social_media_‘soft_girls’_depend on_men_for_money_–_but_Sweden_once_used_state ‘influencers’_to_urge_women_to_get_jobs⠀⇛ Specifically, its strict definition according to gender was heavily criticised for undermining women’s rights and opportunities. Alongside these demands, an increasing labour shortage paved the way for a new understanding of the family, marked by individual social rights and gender equality. This transformation of the family was made possible through various reforms such as individual taxation, the introduction of the parental leave insurance, the expansion of public childcare and active labour market policies. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Jump_In_Iranian_Executions_In_2024_Prompts_UN Outrage⠀⇛ Iran executed at least 901 people in 2024 - - including 31 women, some of whom were convicted of killing their husbands while fighting off a rape or other cases of domestic violence -- a nine-year high that has sparked outrage at the United Nations. # § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ How_Britain_got_its_first_ [Internet]_connection_–_by_the_late_pioneer_who_created the_first_password_on_the_[Internet]⠀⇛ The [Internet] has become the most prevalent communications technology the world has ever seen. Though there are more fixed and mobile telephone connections, even they use [Internet] technology in their core. For all the many uses the [Internet] allows for today, its origins lie in the cold war and the need for a defence communications network that could survive a nuclear strike. But that defence communications network quickly became used for general communications and within only a few years of the first transmission, traffic on the predecessor to today’s [Internet] was already 75% email. § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ # § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ 2024-12-31_[Older]_Sen._Chris_Coons and_the_Cult_of_Patent_Monopolies⠀⇛ # § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2024-12-25_[Older]_Who_can_call_themselves_a chocolate_master?_Lindt_trademark_case_shows_it's complicated⠀⇛ # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ U.S._Trade_Representative_Lists_the Most_Notorious_Piracy_Threats⠀⇛ The report is largely based on input from copyright industry groups, including the RIAA and MPA.
