⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Outsourcing GNU/Linux to Microsoft GitHub
Promoted by Microsoft LLM Slop and Army
Officers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧


posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 07, 2025


Having just mentioned Rust_issues, and having also covered_the_matter_in
relation_to_Ubuntu_yesterday, consider this Microsoft LLM slop from the Serial
Slopper* in BetaNoise:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Ubuntu_Linux_swapping_classic_sudo_for_Rust-powered_sudo-rs⦈


No, of course it is not a real article. It was more likely generated by a bot
controlled by the same company that controls GitHub and thus Rust. Microsoft?


  🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇That_being_said,_sudo-rs_isn’t_trying_to_replicate_every
   obscure_corner_of_the_original._Some_niche_features_might_be_left_behind,
particularly_if_they’re_seen_as_outdated_or_rarely_used._The_goal_here_isn’t_to
       recreate_the_past_--_it’s_to_move_Linux_infrastructure_forward.⦈_


The main_culprit_wrote_about_"Adopting_sudo-rs_By_Default_in_Ubuntu_25.10",
trying to rationalise it as follows:


     Following on from Carefully But Purposefully Oxidising Ubuntu, Ubuntu
     will be the first major Linux distribution to adopt sudo-rs as the
     default implementation of sudo, in partnership with the Trifecta Tech
     Foundation


     The change will be effective from the release of Ubuntu 25.10. You
     can see the Trifecta Tech Foundation’s announcement here.


He did_the_same_thing_to_GNU_(core_utilities). Should we be concerned that such
high-level decisions at Canonical are made by a young person with relatively
little software experience (he got_his_"BSc_Computer_Science"_in_2013) and
British Army background, including the units that seek_to_undermine_security
and_spy_on_everyone?


Something doesn't seem right. █

This hardly happened in the 90s:


                 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Living_and_'socialising'⦈_


This is now:


            🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Couple_on_table;_phone_gadget_busy⦈_


In "modern society" it seems like people speak less (proper speaking, not
tapping on "apps"), sleep less, and generally spend less or get a lot less for
their money (reward for measurable labour). This means that people are
increasingly fatigued and isolated, except in their own minds (they conflate
some digits in Facebook with social life and think that Emojis are a good and
efficient communication form). Rich communications involve hundreds of muscular
organs in people's face, sound, and meanings in that sound (including nuance
and intonation).


An inherently divided, isolated society (where people can be inadvertently and
involuntarily isolated from peers, e.g. "deplatforming" or "shadowbanning") is
better for those_who_own_and_control_the_"platforms", which they 'gamify' (so
they can play with people's minds and behaviour).


We kindly remind fellow humans that the goal of a human isn't to add more data
to someone else's database (government, GAFAM etc.) and people on their
deathbed won't be judged or scored based on faked "popularity" (oligarchs
control what goes "viral"), they're to be judged by people who really knew them
in person. That requires real human interaction. For a real understanding it
takes more than a stream of Emojis and "Stickers".


If pets can live a measurably happy life without gadgets and "apps", why can't
humans? Why are so many humans so much more stressed than their cats and dogs?

Today in IRC someone mentioned GCHQ in relation to what's happening in Ubuntu
this year [1, 2]. Ubuntu is removing (piecewise at least) the GPL/copyleft and
outsourcing everything to Microsoft (GitHub), i.e. back doors must be assumed
at all times, you're in control of nothing and the NSA_is_in_charge (the
security chief of GitHub is a decades-long NSA man).


In case it is not obvious, removing the GPL would mean more "blackboxes"
(proprietary blobs) based on Ubuntu, where there's zero obligation to show code
or reveal what's running. GNU/Linux can more or less become proprietary, just
like_IBM_wants_it_to. They already push Rust (Microsoft GitHub) into the Linux
kernel; some Microsoft staff does this. It also keeps throwing tantrums and
public_shaming_at_the_project's_leader,_Linus_Torvalds (Microsofters_love_doing
that, it's like a_ritual_of_theirs and he_doesn't_seem_to_get_it, maybe because
the Linux_Foundation won't allow him to [1, 2]).

Rust is always being_sold_as_"Security"_(apparently_immature_and_barely_tested
coded_is_"secure") and pretty much nothing else!


Sometimes they talk about "Performance", but C can can be optimised and they
likely compare apples to oranges.


Is the "great replacement" (of free as in freedom) going to spread further?
"Perhaps forcing this into Qemu is why their_founder_is_being_attacked," a
reader said, pointing to this month's communications [1, 2] from Paolo Bonzini
(IBM), "a contributor and submaintainer for QEMU."


IBM pays the salary and this is what it wants:


     It's been roughly three months since my previous update on the Rust
     in
     QEMU project.  Support for Rust remains experimental, with most of
     the
     past three months spent cleaning up the bindings and making more
     functionality available from safe Rust.


     As before, this mostly covers what I have looked at, which is making
     it possible to write devices in safe Rust.  Topics such as QAPI and
     async (block devices) are missing for this reason.


     Overall, I'd say the progress is good: most of the missing features
     mentioned in the previous update have been fixed or at least have a
     plan for the next few months.
Do we really want experimental code at this crucial/critical level/layer? What
is there to gain when the employer does not value security in the first place?
It's just some buzzword it uses. It is for sales_and_lobbying, nothing else.


The official QEMU site says: "Rust in QEMU is a project to enable using the
Rust programming language to add new functionality to QEMU. Right now, the
focus is on making it possible to write devices that inherit from SysBusDevice
in *safe* Rust. Later, it may become possible to write other kinds of devices
(e.g. PCI devices that can do DMA), complete boards, or backends (e.g. block
device formats)."


Maybe this is very innocent, but they seem to have taken a solid, stable
program from a high-profile Frenchman and looked for ways to marry/glue it with
GitHub, i.e. Microsoft/NSA. It caused a lot of problems when they did this to
Linux, much as_we_expected all along.


There are already politely-expressed concerns out in the open, for example:
"Well, I don't actually have an opinion about which is better: I don't know
enough Rust to have a sense of what's more idiomatic or otherwise preferable.
My point is the more general one, that we should decide (in all of these cases)
which approach is going to work better for us and apply that consistently, now
that we have the benefit of having written a couple of device models so we can
see what each path looks like."


"These initial devices are going to be the models that other people (perhaps
less familiar with Rust) are going to use as patterns when they write other
device models. Converging on a consistent structure and way of writing devices
now will help those future device authors (including me!), I think."


We already know what this did to Linux. The best known Linux developers openly
complained about it, but it was probably "too late" already. Of course the
Microsoft people engaged in public outbursts against those developers (e.g.
Theodore_Ts'o). Watch_out,_BSD_people.


"Rust developers and C developers are generally different people," an associate
notes. "Forcing in Rust is one way of forcing out the C developers, and thus
the senior project members, or at least reducing their influence and wresting
control away from the founders."

    * Why_the_Rust_Programming_Language_Is_Not_a_Silver_Bullet_for_Automotive
      Security
"the second link is so-so," the associate says, "but the point is that Rust
neither helps nor hurts security in and of itself. However, as you already
point out, new code means new bugs which is a problem inherent in all new code.
So replacing old, secure, polished code with new untested code is going to
actually introduce security holes and general bugs."


It should be noted that "Rust people" (which is what they call themselves) cull
informed critics and censor them, even when the_criticism_is_about_technical
and_legal_issues, nothing even remotely political or abrasive or impolite. In
GitHub, many Microsoft critics get censored or even permanently banned/
deplatformed (we covered examples in the past). So when one chooses GitHub for
a project's hosting one already eliminates many people sceptical of Microsoft
or the Microsoft way of "thinking". █

It's "the quest of Rusting everything for Total Control" by none other than
Microsoft, says someone in IRC today.

⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The CoC Means the Founder of GNU/Linux
Cannot Talk and a 72-Year-Old Man With Cancer is Somehow a "Safety"
Risk?⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧


posted by Roy Schestowitz on May 07, 2025


RMS (Richard M. Stallman) gave_a_talk_today and on the very same day some
clowns decided to publish the following:


             🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_Keynote_Will_NOT_Go_Forward⦈_


Notice what the CoC seeks to actually accomplish, in practice. How does this
even make sense? A "commitments to safety" means not letting an old man with
cancer speak to people who eagerly wait to hear him? He was recently re-
confirmed_by_the_Free_Software_Foundation.


Remember who_pushed_to_cancel_a_keynote_at_FOSDEM. Projection, as_usual.


Those who don't like RMS are not forced to attend his talks. It took less than
a day for the cancel mob to blackmail the organiser/s. █


        🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Keynote_Announcement:_Dr._Richard_Stallman⦈_


Bonus: The meeting is in Nuremberg. Given recent_antisemitic_attacks_on_RMS
this may seem extra tasteless or seem to send a cryptic message. Also see "Deja
vu:_Hitler's_Birthday,_Andreas_Tille_elected_Debian_Project_Leader_again"; a
few weeks ago it said: "We don't want to jinx Tille's first day on the job so
we went to look at how each of the candidates voted in the 2021 lynching of Dr
Richard Stallman. This blog previously explored the question of whether Dr
Stallman,_who_is_an_atheist,_would_be_subject_to_anti-semitism_during_the
Holocaust_years_because_of_his_Jewish_ancestry. We concluded that RMS would
have definitely been on Hitler's list of targets. We can see that Tille voted
for option 7 [...] he did not want Debian's name used in the attacks on Dr
Stallman. However, he did not want Debian to denounce the witch hunt either.
This is scary. A lot of Germans were willing to stand back and do nothing while
Dr Stallman's Jewish ancestors were being dragged off to concentration camps."

The Central Staff Committee of the European Patent Office (EPO) has circulated
among staff a rather long document. In a message entitled "Our report and
opinions: Public Holidays 2026, SSP Regulations, Counselling" it spoke about a
virtual 'meeting' (read: online chat) with the nepotists who destroy the EPO
and break all sorts of laws in pursuit of money, led by António_Campinos and
the litigation industry he is fronting for, along with monopolists (their
biggest clients).


I've read through the document and something struck a nerve; the EPO's corrupt
management may be leveraging somewhat of a marginal issue - not the big issues
- as that acts like a smokescreen and it's widely known that shallower moral
issues can be a_PR_tactic (diversionary tactics), boiling down to flags while
women_at_the_EPO_are_discriminated_against. There's also stuff like whether an
individual person is "they" (they say this causes actual confusion and I can
confirm I saw that in my workplace; it makes communication baffling and
imprecise).

     § Report on the GCC meeting of
     27 March 2025⠀➾


     Dear Colleagues,


     The General Consultative Committee (GCC) met by videoconference on 27
     March 2025. The following items were on the agenda of the meeting and
     the CSC members of the GCC raised their concerns and tried to get
     further clarifications:


     • Circular No. 433: Public holidays 2026 – for consultation GCC/DOC
     3/2025


     • Amendments to SSP regulations – for consultation GCC/DOC 4/2025


     • Counselling for workplace solutions (pilot) – for information GCC/
     DOC 5/2025


     The detailed and reasoned comments and opinions by the CSC members of
     the GCC are annexed to this paper.


     The Central Staff Committee


     =====================================================================
     § Opinion of the CSC members of the GCC on GCC/DOC 03/2025: Circular
     No. 433: Public holidays 2026


     Every year, a document like this appears on the agenda of the GCC.
     This year’s document essentially covers three points. Firstly, the
     list of public holidays applicable to each place of employment is
     laid down, which the President is authorised to do under Article 59
     (2)(b) ServRegs after consulting the GCC. Secondly, the President
     decides whether to close the Office between Christmas and New Year, a
     matter on which he has granted himself discretion under Rule 4 of
     Circular No. 22. Thirdly, he orders that staff take compulsory leave
     on the Office closure days.


     The CSC members of the GCC observe that the note to the GCC on
     Circular No. 433 contained in this document presents further
     justification for the proposal to close the Office between Christmas
     2026 and New Year 2027 compared to the reasoning in GCC/DOC 12/2024
     for the corresponding closure in 2025. The note presents for example
     an observation that more than 60% of staff – up to 75% of staff in
     2025 – across the Office take one or more additional leave days
     following the Office closing days. Furthermore, the proposed circular
     shall regulate the public holidays for the year 2026, while similar
     circulars and documents on the agenda of the GCC regulated them for
     the years before. Therefore, the CSC members of the CSC conclude that
     these regulatory measures are new decisions and not only of a
     confirmatory nature.


     The CSC members of the GCC express their regret that the annual
     circular on public holidays has been a recurrent subject of
     litigation over the course of several years. The President’s
     directive to close the Office during the period between Christmas and
     New Year, and specifically the imposition of compulsory leave during
     this time remains the focal point of the ongoing dispute.


     List of public holidays in 2026 applicable to each place of
     employment


     The CSC members of the GCC are pleased to observe that the proposed
     list duly incorporates the official regional or national holidays
     applicable to Berlin, Munich, The Hague and Vienna1. It is noticeable
     that the list for Brussels does not include 11 November 2026 (a
     public holiday in Belgium). However, 3 April 2026 is included, even
     though it is not a public holiday in Belgium. These special
     provisions, tailored to local circumstances and business needs, are
     deemed appropriate.


     It is noted with approval that the longstanding practice of providing
     additional annual leave to staff in places of employment with fewer
     public holidays continues to be implemented. This practice is aligned
     with the location observing the highest number of public holidays,
     which in 2026 is Brussels as well as Vienna.


     ____


     1 The President did not go unnoticed when he took up the suggestion
     of the CSC members of the GCC from the previous year and correctly
     labelled 1 May 2026.


     =====================================================================
     § Office closure days between Christmas 2026 and New Year 2027


     The CSC members of the GCC hold a negative view regarding the
     proposed closure days on 28, 29 and 30 December 2026. The current
     document offers certain statements explaining why the Office is
     allegedly to be closed on these days. Nevertheless, this explanation
     is deemed insufficient to demonstrate a proper exercise of the
     discretionary power that the President required himself to exercise
     annually under Rule 4 of Circular No. 22 should he wish to close the
     Office between Christmas and New Year.


     The first six points mentioned in section 1 of the note to the GCC on
     Circular No. 433, for example, are a mere repetition of the points
     already listed more than twelve years ago in GAC/DOC 5/2012. The
     assumption that “[m]ost staff would be on holiday during this period
     anyway” is based on the observation that “in the last couple of
     years, more than 60% – up to 75% of staff in 2025 – across the Office
     take one or more additional leave days following the Office closing
     days”. This assumption is incorrect if only because compulsory leave
     was also ordered during the Office closing days in those years.
     Despite the numerous staff surveys that have been carried out in the
     meantime, there has never been an item on this question. This
     justification thus risks circular reasoning.


     The inadequate exercise of discretion is further demonstrated by the
     fact that the statement that the closure days allow “the Office to
     make cost savings and reduce energy consumption” could not be
     substantiated in numerical terms. Decisions must be based on
     verifiable and objective criteria. A mere qualitative statement lacks
     the precision necessary to assess the actual extent and impact of the
     reduction. Without measurable data, the decision is arbitrary and
     potentially violating the principles of good administration. Even if
     minor savings were made, these would have to be seen in relation to
     the Office’s operating section surpluses, which now exceed EUR 500
     million annually.


     The comparison with the practice at the European institutions and
     other international organisations is inappropriate and misleading.
     The practice is that all days between Christmas and New Year are
     usually set as public holidays for staff of the European Union
     serving in Brussels and Luxembourg. This is exemplary shown for the
     years 2023, 2024 and 2025 by the Commission Decisions 2021/C 201 I/
     02, 2022/C 440/05, C/2024/2219, for the years 2023, 2024 and 2025.
     However, this is not the case on the disputed days of 28, 29 and 30
     December 2026 at the Office. These days are not listed as public
     holidays for staff of the EPO. To the contrary, staff shall take
     compulsory leave on these days.


     In conclusion, the CSC members of the GCC find that the President has
     not duly exercised his discretionary power in determining the Office
     closure days. The examples provided demonstrate insufficiently
     substantiated reasoning, lack of proportional analysis and
     inappropriate comparisons, all of which undermine the proper
     application of discretion in this matter.


     =====================================================================
     Compulsory leave on the Office closure days


     The closure of the Office does not automatically imply that the staff
     has to take any form of leave (e.g. annual leave). In particular, the
     New Ways of Working permit more flexibility to staff concerning their
     working arrangements. According to Article 5 of Circular No. 419, the
     Office may also request or instruct employees to telework in
     exceptional cases. The regulation in Rule 4 of Circular No. 22 that “
     [s]taff shall take any type of authorised leave during such closures”
     has already been weakened in the previous years by the wording “staff
     shall decide at their discretion which type of authorised leave to
     take on these […] compulsory closure days” (see for example Circular
     Nos. 424, 428, 431, which regulate closure periods for 2023 to 2025).
     The repetition of this wording in the proposed Circular No. 433
     emphasises that the regulation of Circular No. 22 must not be
     understood in the strict sense.


     Section 3 of the note to the GCC on Circular No. 433 uses an even
     weaker wording: “staff will be requested to take any form of leave
     (e.g., annual leave, flexitime or compensation hours)”. Upon request,
     the administration further explained during the meeting that staff
     would be “invited” to take leave during the Office closure days.


     The CSC members of the GCC therefore recommend that the
     administration emphasises in their invitation that taking any form of
     leave during the Office closure days is on a purely voluntary basis.
     The note to the GCC on Circular No. 433 explains in section 3 that in
     the event that a staff member does not register leave, compensation
     hours will be deducted for the Office closure days. The question as
     to whether the President is authorised to deduct compensation hours
     in such cases is still pending before the Tribunal. The CSC members
     of the GCC thus propose that such deductions, if at all, be made only
     on a provisional basis pending the outcome of the litigation.


     Constructive proposals


     The CSC members of the GCC have a great interest in avoiding further
     disputes. Various alternative suggestions, some of them already
     brought forward in recent years, are made.


     • That the President add the days 28, 29 and 30 December 2026 to the
     list of public holidays to be observed in 2026 at all places of
     employment. This would be consistent with the practice on public
     holidays for officials and other servants of the European Union
     serving in Brussels and Luxembourg in the previous years. The Office
     could then be closed between Christmas 2026 and New Year 2027.


     • That the President add at least one and a half of the days 28, 29
     or 30 December 2026 to the list of public holidays. This would serve
     as a symbolic gesture of compromise.


     =====================================================================
     • That the President protect the staff who take authorised leave on
     28, 29 or 30 December 2026 from managerial orders to work on these
     days by switching off the remote access to computer systems on these
     days.


     The note to the GCC on Circular No. 433 concludes with the remark
     that it “will be published more than a year prior to the planned
     Office closure in 2026”. Staff members would thus be “provided with
     sufficient time to make the necessary arrangements that suit them
     best while observing the mandatory closure days.” The possibility of
     early leave planning is essential, particularly when Office closure
     is framed as above.


     The CSC members of the GCC, however, observe that it is currently
     only possible to use the booking tool to request leave for this year
     2025, but not for next year 2026. Regardless of the discussion about
     the Office closure days and compulsory leave at the end of the year,
     it is recommended that it should be possible to request authorised
     leave for the following year early in advance, at the latest from 1
     July 2025 onwards. This is particularly important for staff who plan
     their winter or spring vacations.


     As a final remark, the CSC members of the GCC would like to reiterate
     that there is an ongoing interest in finding amicable solutions for
     the regulation of public holidays and closing days. It is therefore
     worth considering whether the regulation for 2027 should be preceded
     by a constructive discussion in the context of the ongoing social
     dialogue.


     The CSC members of the GCC


     =====================================================================
     § Amendments to SSP regulations - GCC/DOC 04/2025
     Opinion submitted by group 1 of CSC members in the GCC


     Documents_on_the_Agenda:


     1. Comparative table: Overview of all regulatory changes.


     2. CA document: Proposed amendments to service regulations for
     submission to the AC of June and to the BFC in May.


     3. Circular No. 317: Updates on SSP lump sum and editorial change in
     the number of decimals in the table on the investment allocation.


     4. Circular No. 22: Adjustment related to parental and family leave
     regulation.


     The administration has claimed that the intention of the amendments
     proposed is to clarify that the salary savings plan and the lump sum
     payment associated with it is a salary, and therefore not subject to
     national taxation under the protocol on privileges and immunities.
     This is contrary to pensions which, according to the same protocol,
     are subject to national taxation.


     However, Staff Representation stresses that to fully understand the
     changes introduced by document GCC DOC 04 2025, all relevant
     documents and reports, such as tax advisors’ reports and the outcome
     of the comprehensive review mentioned in the CA document, should have
     been made available to all GCC members. These documents are crucial
     for comprehending the proposed amendments. Regrettably, Staff
     Representation was denied access to these documents. Additionally,
     the Staff Representation was provided with the final version of GCC
     DOC 04 2025 prior to the GCC, but not prior to any of the three
     technical meetings that took place to discuss the amendments, meaning
     the opportunity for discussion of the final document was limited. We
     would appreciate a more transparent approach to social dialogue,
     particularly on this sensitive topic for NPS members.


     We note the several amendments proposed in the document which are
     unclear, and their scope is therefore to be clarified.


     On the specific elements, we note at least four main aspects that
     have been modified:


     a. The replacement of the term “portion of remuneration” with “lump
     sum”


     b. The changes on SSP deductions for social security


     c. Elimination of voluntary contributions to the SSP


     d. Payment modalities of SSP on termination of service.


     a. “portion_of_remuneration”_vs_“portion_of_salary”_vs_“lump_sum”


     The scope of the amendments replacing the term "portion of
     remuneration" with "lump sum" in various Articles (e.g., 46, 62, 65,
     94, 83a, etc.) is somewhat unclear and raises questions. Initially,
     the term “portion of salary” had been used to replace the current
     “portion of remuneration”, with the explanation from the
     administration during the meeting that this was to reiterate that the
     payout from the SSP is a salary and therefore not subject to national
     taxation. In a second version of the amendments, this term was again
     replaced with “lump sum”, with the reasoning from the administration
     that the SSP payout comprises three portions – 1/3 contributions from
     the staff member, 2/3 contributions from the Office, and also the
     investment returns. However, no explanation


     =====================================================================
     was given as to how this new amendment to the terminology,
     specifically now missing the word “salary”, still managed to achieve
     the goal of reducing taxation risk. In addition, we were not informed
     whether the tax advisors were re-consulted on this change of wording.
     In addition, we note that the SSP was designed from the outset to be
     an integral, inseparable part of the new pension scheme’s
     architecture. The Office was invited to conduct a comprehensive
     review of the pension scheme architecture to align with the
     principles of duty of care. Thus, the principle of separation of SSP
     from pension needs careful consideration.


     b._The_deductions_for_social_security_Article_83a_and_83b_ServRegs


     Article 83a (5) ServRegs was amended in at least three aspects:


     1. “entitled to pension” vs “entitled to health care”


     The first change concerned the question of when a reduction shall be
     made, now encompassing cases previously unaffected. In particular the
     terms entitled_to_pension was replaced with entitled_to_health_care,
     having several negative consequences for staff in the NPS scheme. In
     particular we note that the entitlement to health care is completely
     different to the entitlement to pension, and only occasionally
     coincide. This change will have a significant impact on whether
     colleagues are able to choose to use the provisions of Article 83a
     (2), which gives the right for employees who leave the Office, by
     their own choice or because their contract is not extended, to be
     covered by our healthcare insurance for up to 12 months. However, if
     that coverage requires the full deduction of the SSP to be made, the
     exorbitant cost of the limited-time coverage would mean the provision
     cannot be used by NPS members. No solution was offered for this
     issue.


     2. “He is” vs “they” vs “the employee, their spouse or dependant”


     To understand the impact of this amendment it is important to look at
     the previous versions of the article.


     Art. 83a (5) ServRegs in the Codex 2022 recites:


     Where applicable, the portion of remuneration owed on termination of
     service as a result of compulsory participation in the salary savings
     plan shall be reduced by the amount of the healthcare insurance
     contribution, a third of which shall be borne by the employee,
     provided that he is entitled to a pension.


     Following a revision of the Codex to achieve a gender-neutral
     formulation Art. 83a (5) ServRegs became in the Codex 2023:


     Where applicable, the portion of remuneration owed on termination of
     service as a result of compulsory participation in the salary savings
     plan shall be reduced by the amount of the healthcare insurance
     contribution, a third of which shall be borne by the employee,
     provided that they are entitled to a pension.


     Now with the proposed amendment the “they” is not a single person
     anymore but includes spouse or dependant. i.e. survivors and orphans.


     Art. 83a (5) ServRegs (proposed) recites:


     Where applicable, lump sum owed on termination of service as a result
     of compulsory participation in the salary savings plan shall be
     reduced by a third of the amount of the total healthcare insurance
     contribution, a third of which shall be borne by the employee,
     provided that the employee, their spouse or dependant is entitled to
     the healthcare insurance under this article.


     =====================================================================
     These changes are obviously at the detriment of staff in the NPS as
     they enlarge the group called to pay the social security deductions,
     creating a number of additional unfair situations (e.g. an orphan
     paying the EPO healthcare contributions on the SSP is offered
     coverage only as long as they have dependent status).


     The situation of the orphans was pointed out to the administration as
     a blatant example of the inconsistencies created by these amendments.
     No solution was offered for this issue.


     3. “Portion of remuneration” vs “lump sum”


     The third change concerns the total amount eligible for deduction.
     Under the current terms, deductions were to be limited to portion of
     remuneration, and now the proposed regulation defines a deduction on
     the lump sum. Once again, this change appears to disadvantage staff.


     Furthermore, the fact that deductions from the SSP lump sum are
     required is inconsistent with the fact that no allowances are
     provided. For example, the household allowance is paid on monthly
     pensions (OPS and capped NPS monthly pensions). However, household
     allowance is not paid on the SSP, raising questions about the
     coherence of the approach.


     Similar considerations apply to Article 83b ServRegs.


     c. Elimination_of_voluntary_contribution_to_the_SSP


     The current proposal eliminates the option to voluntarily participate
     in the SSP from the entire ServRegs. Although this option has been
     available since inception, it was never implemented, and additional
     voluntary contributions to the SSP were never considered feasible.


     However, there are articles in the ServRegs that regulate optional
     participation in the SSP, specifically Article 43 (Military Service),
     Article 44 (Leave on Personal Grounds), and Article 44a (Parental
     Leave). The new formulation abolishes the possibility of
     participating in the SSP during military service and leave on
     personal grounds.


     Additionally, the new formulation makes participation in the SSP
     during parental leave mandatory. This change is seen as neutral for
     NPS members, with a limited impact, as the historical opting-out rate
     was low, cited as around 6% in the CA doc.


     d. Payment_modalities_of_SSP_on_termination_of_service.


     We note that the change in payment modalities includes an automatic
     switch to a more conservative investment strategy upon termination of
     service. Specifically, SSP plan members will be transitioned into a
     cash-like investment during the final period of their service, which
     can last up to 12 months. This measure is intended to minimize their
     exposure to market volatility and protect their accumulated funds as
     they approach the payout date.


     However, plan members are not obligated to follow this default
     strategy. An opt-out option is available for those who prefer to
     remain in a different investment strategy until the SSP payout date.
     This flexibility allows members to tailor their investment approach
     according to their individual risk tolerance and financial goals. For
     more detailed information, Circular 317 outlines the investment
     strategy and glide path available to SSP plan members.


     =====================================================================
     Finally, the amendment to Article 4 of Circular 317, that defined
     that the due SSP amount will be paid out completely while the staff
     member remains in active service as a final salary is appreciated and
     an improvement on the current practice.


     Conclusion


     There are various consequences of separating completely the SSP from
     pension scheme for NPS members. These need to be considered carefully
     by staff representatives that have been tasked with protecting the
     rights of staff. Some may be beneficial, such as lowering the risk of
     taxation of the SSP, but some may also be detrimental, such as
     undermining the promised equivalence in benefits between the two
     pension schemes.


     Since we have not been given the possibility to read the reports from
     the tax advisors, let alone pose any questions to the experts on the
     matter, we are unfortunately unable to judge the degree by which the
     taxation risk would be reduced by the amendments proposed. Further,
     the comprehensive study referred to in the CA document was also not
     made available to us. Without access to all relevant information and
     a more open dialogue, we are unable to evaluate the implications of
     the proposed changes adequately.


     In addition, some of the amendments clearly have no bearing on the
     taxation, but rather are amendments which increase the number of
     staff which must pay a portion of the lump sum to the Office, despite
     the fact that these deductions may be hugely disproportionate
     compared to the insurance coverage received in return.


     Staff Representation remains fully committed to advocating for a fair
     pension scheme for all colleagues.


     Opinion submitted by group 1 of CSC members in the GCC


     =====================================================================
     § Amendments to SSP regulations - GCC/DOC 04/2025
     Opinion submitted by group 2 of CSC members in the GCC


     The undersigning CSC members of the GCC note that three meetings of
     the GCC SSPR were held in preparation of the submitted document.
     These meetings took place on 13 February 2025, 26 February 2025 and
     10 March 2025. The constructive working atmosphere during these
     meetings is greatly appreciated. Some proposals submitted by the
     staff representatives were taken up and can be found in the document
     presented.


     The proposed amendments to Articles 43, 44 and 44a ServRegs and to
     the Implementing Rules to the ServRegs consist of minor
     terminological adjustments and clarifications of provisions
     referencing the Salary Savings Plan. The undersigning CSC members of
     the GCC are convinced that the amendments enhance clarity and
     consistency of the regulations. They contribute to better reflect the
     nature of the Salary Savings Plan as a deferred salary plan.


     To illustrate this, reference is made to the proposed editorial
     change to the Implementing Rule to Article 65(3) ServRegs. Section A.
     (3) of this provision is proposed for deletion. As the Administrative
     Council decided in Article 10 of CA/D 3/19 to suspend additional
     voluntary contributions to the Salary Savings Plan, the deletion of
     the corresponding passage is consistent. The proposed editorial
     changes to sections B.(1) and B.(2) of the regulation contribute to
     clarity. As contributions to the Salary Savings Plan are compulsory
     for members of the NPS and members of the OPS do not participate in
     it, no further distinction is necessary.


     Members of the Salary Savings Plan may have different needs with
     regard to volatility and return expectations in the period shortly
     before the payment of the lump sum with their last monthly salary.
     The undersigning CSC members of the GCC therefore acknowledge and
     appreciate the option foreseen in the proposed amendment to Article 3
     of Circular No. 317.


     Furthermore, the clarifications added to the table on the investment
     allocation for the investment horizons in Circular No. 317 by listing
     two decimal places in the percentages is understood to provide legal
     certainty. The numerical relevance is considerable in view of the
     expected amounts of the relevant assets. The fact that the definition
     of the conversion date at the end of Article 3 of Circular No. 317
     has been clarified also contributes to legal certainty.


     The proposed regulation in Article 83a(5) ServRegs that the lump sum
     owed on termination of service as a result of compulsory
     participation in the Salary Savings Plan shall be reduced by a third
     of the amount of the total healthcare insurance contribution,
     provided that the employee, their spouse or dependant is entitled to
     the healthcare insurance under this article follows the principle
     that contributions to social security schemes based on the SSP lump
     sum should be paid only by those covered by the social security
     schemes after termination of service.


     =====================================================================
     The undersigning CSC members of the GCC take note of this
     clarification. It emphasises the principle of reciprocity. The
     financial impact of the proposed amendments is estimated mostly cost-
     neutral and below EUR 20.000. The reasoning behind this is
     comprehensible.


     As a final remark, the undersigning CSC members of the GCC would like
     to reiterate that they consider constructive and trustful discussions
     on sensitive topics important. The ongoing social dialogue is of high
     relevance for both the staff and the Office.


     Opinion submitted by group 2 of CSC members in the GCC


     =====================================================================
     § Comments relating to document GCC/DOC 05/2025


     The aim presented in the slides is the “fully external and impartial
     support with workplace challenges”, hence, the provision of service
     from professional counsellors regarding workplace conflicts and
     workplace issues. The activities and skills expected from the
     external counsellors, as presented in the slides, are at the moment
     fully covered by our internal Confidential Counsellors.


     The internal Confidential Counsellors are recognised by staff and by
     managers as impartial, are bound to confidentiality, have all the
     skills presented in the slides, have years of experience and
     additionally know the office from inside. Managers and staff trust
     them. Therefore, they have a high recognised value in amicable
     conflict resolution.


     To provide additional external counselling is considered by the
     office as being important for the staff who don’t feel comfortable
     addressing colleagues (the internal CCs) and for the staff who wants
     to remain anonymous inside the office. We also find that this could
     be an important reason to provide additional external counselling.


     We were assured during the meeting that the external counselling
     service is additional to the internal amicable resolution. It is not
     intended to replace and to externalise the internal amicable conflict
     resolution. It was stated, that should the pilot not be successful
     the external service will not be continued. The success criteria
     applied for evaluating the pilot will be the same as the ones applied
     in HR for services. The Ombuds Office will be responsible for the
     onboarding of the external counsellors.


     The external counsellors will provide their services only online.
     Confidentiality is already part within the contract with Pulso for
     the EAP services. Hence, the same will apply also for the counselling
     services provided by Pulso.


     As an additional service for our colleagues, we consider the
     initiative as positive and support it. We will monitor both, the
     handling of the internal confidential counsellors and the activities
     relating to the onboarding of the external counsellors.


     The CSC members of the GCC


     =====================================================================
     § Opinion of the CSC members of the GCC on GCC/DOC 03/2025:
     Circular No. 433: Public holidays 2026


     Every year, a document like this appears on the agenda of the GCC.
     This year’s document essentially covers three points. Firstly, the
     list of public holidays applicable to each place of employment is
     laid down, which the President is authorised to do under Article 59
     (2)(b) ServRegs after consulting the GCC. Secondly, the President
     decides whether to close the Office between Christmas and New Year, a
     matter on which he has granted himself discretion under Rule 4 of
     Circular No. 22. Thirdly, he orders that staff take compulsory leave
     on the Office closure days.


     The CSC members of the GCC observe that the note to the GCC on
     Circular No. 433 contained in this document presents further
     justification for the proposal to close the Office between Christmas
     2026 and New Year 2027 compared to the reasoning in GCC/DOC 12/2024
     for the corresponding closure in 2025. The note presents for example
     an observation that more than 60% of staff – up to 75% of staff in
     2025 – across the Office take one or more additional leave days
     following the Office closing days. Furthermore, the proposed circular
     shall regulate the public holidays for the year 2026, while similar
     circulars and documents on the agenda of the GCC regulated them for
     the years before. Therefore, the CSC members of the CSC conclude that
     these regulatory measures are new decisions and not only of a
     confirmatory nature.


     The CSC members of the GCC express their regret that the annual
     circular on public holidays has been a recurrent subject of
     litigation over the course of several years. The President’s
     directive to close the Office during the period between Christmas and
     New Year, and specifically the imposition of compulsory leave during
     this time remains the focal point of the ongoing dispute.


     List of public holidays in 2026 applicable to each place of
     employment


     The CSC members of the GCC are pleased to observe that the proposed
     list duly incorporates the official regional or national holidays
     applicable to Berlin, Munich, The Hague and Vienna1. It is noticeable
     that the list for Brussels does not include 11 November 2026 (a
     public holiday in Belgium). However, 3 April 2026 is included, even
     though it is not a public holiday in Belgium. These special
     provisions, tailored to local circumstances and business needs, are
     deemed appropriate.


     It is noted with approval that the longstanding practice of providing
     additional annual leave to staff in places of employment with fewer
     public holidays continues to be implemented. This practice is aligned
     with the location observing the highest number of public holidays,
     which in 2026 is Brussels as well as Vienna.


     _______


     1 The President did not go unnoticed when he took up the suggestion
     of the CSC members of the GCC from the previous year and correctly
     labelled 1 May 2026.


     =====================================================================
     Office closure days between Christmas 2026 and New Year 2027


     The CSC members of the GCC hold a negative view regarding the
     proposed closure days on 28, 29 and 30 December 2026. The current
     document offers certain statements explaining why the Office is
     allegedly to be closed on these days. Nevertheless, this explanation
     is deemed insufficient to demonstrate a proper exercise of the
     discretionary power that the President required himself to exercise
     annually under Rule 4 of Circular No. 22 should he wish to close the
     Office between Christmas and New Year.


     The first six points mentioned in section 1 of the note to the GCC on
     Circular No. 433, for example, are a mere repetition of the points
     already listed more than twelve years ago in GAC/DOC 5/2012. The
     assumption that “[m]ost staff would be on holiday during this period
     anyway” is based on the observation that “in the last couple of
     years, more than 60% – up to 75% of staff in 2025 – across the Office
     take one or more additional leave days following the Office closing
     days”. This assumption is incorrect if only because compulsory leave
     was also ordered during the Office closing days in those years.
     Despite the numerous staff surveys that have been carried out in the
     meantime, there has never been an item on this question. This
     justification thus risks circular reasoning.


     The inadequate exercise of discretion is further demonstrated by the
     fact that the statement that the closure days allow “the Office to
     make cost savings and reduce energy consumption” could not be
     substantiated in numerical terms. Decisions must be based on
     verifiable and objective criteria. A mere qualitative statement lacks
     the precision necessary to assess the actual extent and impact of the
     reduction. Without measurable data, the decision is arbitrary and
     potentially violating the principles of good administration. Even if
     minor savings were made, these would have to be seen in relation to
     the Office’s operating section surpluses, which now exceed EUR 500
     million annually.


     The comparison with the practice at the European institutions and
     other international organisations is inappropriate and misleading.
     The practice is that all days between Christmas and New Year are
     usually set as public holidays for staff of the European Union
     serving in Brussels and Luxembourg. This is exemplary shown for the
     years 2023, 2024 and 2025 by the Commission Decisions 2021/C 201 I/
     02, 2022/C 440/05, C/2024/2219, for the years 2023, 2024 and 2025.
     However, this is not the case on the disputed days of 28, 29 and 30
     December 2026 at the Office. These days are not listed as public
     holidays for staff of the EPO. To the contrary, staff shall take
     compulsory leave on these days.


     In conclusion, the CSC members of the GCC find that the President has
     not duly exercised his discretionary power in determining the Office
     closure days. The examples provided demonstrate insufficiently
     substantiated reasoning, lack of proportional analysis and
     inappropriate comparisons, all of which undermine the proper
     application of discretion in this matter.


     =====================================================================
     Compulsory leave on the Office closure days


     The closure of the Office does not automatically imply that the staff
     has to take any form of leave (e.g. annual leave). In particular, the
     New Ways of Working permit more flexibility to staff concerning their
     working arrangements. According to Article 5 of Circular No. 419, the
     Office may also request or instruct employees to telework in
     exceptional cases. The regulation in Rule 4 of Circular No. 22 that “
     [s]taff shall take any type of authorised leave during such closures”
     has already been weakened in the previous years by the wording “staff
     shall decide at their discretion which type of authorised leave to
     take on these […] compulsory closure days” (see for example Circular
     Nos. 424, 428, 431, which regulate closure periods for 2023 to 2025).
     The repetition of this wording in the proposed Circular No. 433
     emphasises that the regulation of Circular No. 22 must not be
     understood in the strict sense.


     Section 3 of the note to the GCC on Circular No. 433 uses an even
     weaker wording: “staff will be requested to take any form of leave
     (e.g., annual leave, flexitime or compensation hours)”. Upon request,
     the administration further explained during the meeting that staff
     would be “invited” to take leave during the Office closure days.


     The CSC members of the GCC therefore recommend that the
     administration emphasises in their invitation that taking any form of
     leave during the Office closure days is on a purely voluntary basis.
     The note to the GCC on Circular No. 433 explains in section 3 that in
     the event that a staff member does not register leave, compensation
     hours will be deducted for the Office closure days. The question as
     to whether the President is authorised to deduct compensation hours
     in such cases is still pending before the Tribunal. The CSC members
     of the GCC thus propose that such deductions, if at all, be made only
     on a provisional basis pending the outcome of the litigation.


     Constructive proposals


     The CSC members of the GCC have a great interest in avoiding further
     disputes. Various alternative suggestions, some of them already
     brought forward in recent years, are made.


     • That the President add the days 28, 29 and 30 December 2026 to the
     list of public holidays to be observed in 2026 at all places of
     employment. This would be consistent with the practice on public
     holidays for officials and other servants of the European Union
     serving in Brussels and Luxembourg in the previous years. The Office
     could then be closed between Christmas 2026 and New Year 2027.


     • That the President add at least one and a half of the days 28, 29
     or 30 December 2026 to the list of public holidays. This would serve
     as a symbolic gesture of compromise.


     =====================================================================
     • That the President protect the staff who take authorised leave on
     28, 29 or 30 December 2026 from managerial orders to work on these
     days by switching off the remote access to computer systems on these
     days.


     The note to the GCC on Circular No. 433 concludes with the remark
     that it “will be published more than a year prior to the planned
     Office closure in 2026”. Staff members would thus be “provided with
     sufficient time to make the necessary arrangements that suit them
     best while observing the mandatory closure days.” The possibility of
     early leave planning is essential, particularly when Office closure
     is framed as above.


     The CSC members of the GCC, however, observe that it is currently
     only possible to use the booking tool to request leave for this year
     2025, but not for next year 2026. Regardless of the discussion about
     the Office closure days and compulsory leave at the end of the year,
     it is recommended that it should be possible to request authorised
     leave for the following year early in advance, at the latest from 1
     July 2025 onwards. This is particularly important for staff who plan
     their winter or spring vacations.


     As a final remark, the CSC members of the GCC would like to reiterate
     that there is an ongoing interest in finding amicable solutions for
     the regulation of public holidays and closing days. It is therefore
     worth considering whether the regulation for 2027 should be preceded
     by a constructive discussion in the context of the ongoing social
     dialogue.

     § Amendments to SSP regulations - GCC/DOC 04/2025
     Opinion submitted by group 2 of CSC members in the GCC


     The undersigning CSC members of the GCC note that three meetings of
     the GCC SSPR were held in preparation of the submitted document.
     These meetings took place on 13 February 2025, 26 February 2025 and
     10 March 2025. The constructive working atmosphere during these
     meetings is greatly appreciated. Some proposals submitted by the
     staff representatives were taken up and can be found in the document
     presented.


     The proposed amendments to Articles 43, 44 and 44a ServRegs and to
     the Implementing Rules to the ServRegs consist of minor
     terminological adjustments and clarifications of provisions
     referencing the Salary Savings Plan. The undersigning CSC members of
     the GCC are convinced that the amendments enhance clarity and
     consistency of the regulations. They contribute to better reflect the
     nature of the Salary Savings Plan as a deferred salary plan.


     To illustrate this, reference is made to the proposed editorial
     change to the Implementing Rule to Article 65(3) ServRegs. Section A.
     (3) of this provision is proposed for deletion. As the Administrative
     Council decided in Article 10 of CA/D 3/19 to suspend additional
     voluntary contributions to the Salary Savings Plan, the deletion of
     the corresponding passage is consistent. The proposed editorial
     changes to sections B.(1) and B.(2) of the regulation contribute to
     clarity. As contributions to the Salary Savings Plan are compulsory
     for members of the NPS and members of the OPS do not participate in
     it, no further distinction is necessary.


     Members of the Salary Savings Plan may have different needs with
     regard to volatility and return expectations in the period shortly
     before the payment of the lump sum with their last monthly salary.
     The undersigning CSC members of the GCC therefore acknowledge and
     appreciate the option foreseen in the proposed amendment to Article 3
     of Circular No. 317.


     Furthermore, the clarifications added to the table on the investment
     allocation for the investment horizons in Circular No. 317 by listing
     two decimal places in the percentages is understood to provide legal
     certainty. The numerical relevance is considerable in view of the
     expected amounts of the relevant assets. The fact that the definition
     of the conversion date at the end of Article 3 of Circular No. 317
     has been clarified also contributes to legal certainty.


     The proposed regulation in Article 83a(5) ServRegs that the lump sum
     owed on termination of service as a result of compulsory
     participation in the Salary Savings Plan shall be reduced by a third
     of the amount of the total healthcare insurance contribution,
     provided that the employee, their spouse or dependant is entitled to
     the healthcare insurance under this article follows the principle
     that contributions to social security schemes based on the SSP lump
     sum should be paid only by those covered by the social security
     schemes after termination of service.


     =====================================================================
     The undersigning CSC members of the GCC take note of this
     clarification. It emphasises the principle of reciprocity. The
     financial impact of the proposed amendments is estimated mostly cost-
     neutral and below EUR 20.000. The reasoning behind this is
     comprehensible.


     As a final remark, the undersigning CSC members of the GCC would like
     to reiterate that they consider constructive and trustful discussions
     on sensitive topics important. The ongoing social dialogue is of high
     relevance for both the staff and the Office.


     Opinion submitted by group 2 of CSC members in the GCC


     =====================================================================
     § Comments relating to document GCC/DOC 05/2025


     The aim presented in the slides is the “fully external and impartial
     support with workplace challenges”, hence, the provision of service
     from professional counsellors regarding workplace conflicts and
     workplace issues. The activities and skills expected from the
     external counsellors, as presented in the slides, are at the moment

     The internal Confidential Counsellors are recognised by staff and by

     additionally know the office from inside. Managers and staff trust
     them. Therefore, they have a high recognised value in amicable
     conflict resolution.


     To provide additional external counselling is considered by the
     office as being important for the staff who don’t feel comfortable
     addressing colleagues (the internal CCs) and for the staff who wants
     to remain anonymous inside the office. We also find that this could
     be an important reason to provide additional external counselling.


     We were assured during the meeting that the external counselling
     service is additional to the internal amicable resolution. It is not
     intended to replace and to externalise the internal amicable conflict
     resolution. It was stated, that should the pilot not be successful
     the external service will not be continued. The success criteria
     applied for evaluating the pilot will be the same as the ones applied
     in HR for services. The Ombuds Office will be responsible for the
     onboarding of the external counsellors.


     The external counsellors will provide their services only online.
     Confidentiality is already part within the contract with Pulso for
     the EAP services. Hence, the same will apply also for the counselling
     services provided by Pulso.


     As an additional service for our colleagues, we consider the
     initiative as positive and support it. We will monitor both, the
     handling of the internal confidential counsellors and the activities
     relating to the onboarding of the external counsellors.


     The CSC members of the GCC


There is repetition in the above document (maybe intentional), but that last
part says "the undersigning CSC members of the GCC would like to reiterate that
they consider constructive and trustful discussions on sensitive topics
important."


That's probably because they illegally_pass_rules_without_bothering_to_consult
staff.


The above document is soft-spoken and reeks of defeatism. Nevertheless, it is
the GCC, not the union (SUEPO) and after years of union-busting people are
afraid to leak or speak out.

The eighteenth "and a half" anniversary


So as_noted_yesterday, today this site turns 18.5 and we said we would be
taking a look back and then "outline plans for the coming years."


Like TechDirt, post-Shiva_Ayyadurai, we'll be focusing_a_lot_more_on_freedom_of
the_press while pursuing_full_accountability at all levels. Sirius_Open_Source
is_in_court because there's a limit to how much a "limited"_firm (or company or
partnership) can get away with. But we won't let that distract us from keeping
GAFAM's_feet_to_the_fire or advocating Software Freedom.


In the next half a year, ahead of the 19-year anniversary, we should be able to
wrap up to put and end to a serial abuser [1, 2], then we can write about it in
full. But really, our primary goal is to write about the topics Microsoft
SLAPPers try to distract us from. █

 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Getting_Microsofters'_money_to_SLAPP_and_deadname_people;
              Making_excuses_for_serving_men_who_strangle_women⦈_


Some of our recent_articles seem to have rattled particular groups and, as
repeatedly noted in the first_part and second_part, all they can think of right
now is SLAPPing us (sending threats to silence us, issuing ultimatums,
demanding_censorship etc.) and it's not going to work. The SLAPPers are
Microsofters in another continent and the SLAPPing is done in likely breach of
rules (under investigation at the moment) on behalf of stranglers from
Microsoft on_shoestring_budget (not enough to actually pursue a lawsuit in
full). Such bluff or bluster isn't without consequences. The conniving element
will be elaborated upon tomorrow because it is also crucial.


People leak a lot of material to Techrights because they know, based on the
track record, that the sources will be protected and whatever gets published
will stay online, in full, no matter how stubborn an effort (even lawsuits and
blackmail) will be sent its way [1, 2].


Truth must prevail and we have the technical skills and decades of experience
to facilitate this (various protocols, no outsourcing of videos to other sites,
or any messages offloaded to any social control media, which may not only
censor but also go offline, eventually). The site has a firm obligation to its
sources and whistleblowers.


It is not a "calling", it's just a simple matter of iron-clad principles.
Reputation isn't based on things like overnight stunts but decades of proven
dedication and abundant instances of perseverance, even in the face of Europe's
second-largest_organisation and Novell's_CEO. Nothing will change that and, as
we've said many times before, we've eliminated/swatted away much more potent
challenges than the latest SLAPPs from Microsofters. One former employer had_a
go_at_it_too, but it's nothing big like Novell (~7000 staff) and the EPO (also
around 7000 staff, however decreasing over time).


TL;DR "Streisand_Effect", as someone said in IRC earlier today.


A year ago we went to see some lawyers (for the first time) about this matter
and based on their estimates - as well as others' - it seems plausible that the
Microsofters already spent over $200,000 trying - to no avail and without any
success - to silence and censor us. One of them estimates he'll have to spend
over $330,000 trying some more, in vain. But this isn't about the depths of
one's pocket (surely Microsoft understands this by now); evil won't win, is
simply cannot.

This money from Microsoft is more than the notorious 'SLAPP company' has in the
bank, based on its own filings (see above; this_is_public). Last year more than
20% of the media lawsuits (their primary specialty and their cash cow) that it
filed were against_me_and_against_my_wife. Yes, that's right, over 20%. This
year they filed none, against anyone, perhaps knowing their_licence_to_operate
is_now_at_risk_because_they_went_too_far_and_engaged_in_patently_abusive
litigation (according to respectable law firms which studied the SLAPPs).
There's a massive difference between engaging in corporate extortion and
exercising law. Many lines were crossed in a desperate effort or a campaign to
silence us.


Remember: being a lawyer does not mean you get to do anything you want.


We shall pursue_compensation_for_the_horrible_things_these_people_did.
Unscrupulous, impulsive behaviour isn't without consequences; it may take some
time to turn out that way, but eventually truth finds its way and people get
what they deserve. █

                # ⚓ Refreshing_Rain_2025-05-02_and_2025-05-03⠀⇛


                       The boys and I are out in the yard, about two hours
                       after a light rain. The air is fresh and feels
                       moist and cool in my nose. The smell in the air
                       reminds me of hay bales, from my childhood, with a
                       slightly musty scent. But there is also a hint of
                       some spicy aroma — maybe from the Lodgepole Pine,
                       or the spruce trees...?


                       In our little garden, about 25 or 30 Rhubarb buds
                       have popped up. Some have partially unfolded —
                       still very wrinkly — to about 3 inches long.


                # ⚓ Forth,_permacomputing_and_astronomy_(by_~sfelicio)⠀⇛


                       Last week I was pretty stressed. I used the holiday
                       on Thursday and my day off on Friday to get some
                       rest. I have been reading some very interesting
                       things about Forth, about permacomputing and
                       collapse computing, old computer architectures, the
                       demoscene, the great waste of resources and life in
                       modern computing, what to do about it.


                       I'll leave some interesting links at the end here.


                       In the back of my mind, I'm trying to figure out
                       how to apply these ideas to my context. In
                       scientific computing we definitely think of a
                       computer cluster as a "calculation factory": you
                       feed it with the resources it needs, it gets your
                       calculations done as fast as possible, end. Better
                       have it constantly working if you are to be
                       efficient. Better get the latest hardware. Better
                       make your calculations big if you want to be
                       impressive. There is hardware vendor lock-in and
                       planned obsolescence. Software is often
                       proprietary, making some results only reproducible
                       by rich labs. I could go on and on, but I want to
                       be more specific.


                # ⚓ Piers_Anthony’s_A_Spell_for_Chamelion⠀⇛


                       Another book from my childhood, (the entire series
                       took me well into my adulthood to finish it,) is A
                       Spell for Chameleon. It’s part of Piers Anthony’s
                       Xanth trilogy. Only as I started typing that did I
                       remember it began as a trilogy. I reread it
                       yesterday because like necroscope I was curious
                       what I’d think of it now versus reading it as a
                       child.


                       Potential spoilers.


                       The story covers a seemingly non-magical main
                       character named Bink through a magical land on a
                       mission to figure out what his magical talent is so
                       that he wont be exiled from the land of Xanth
                       because that’s what they did to anyone born without
                       a demonstrable magical talent. Everyone has a
                       ceremony after their (18th?) birthday to
                       demonstrate their magical talent in front of the
                       king, after which they become a citizen of Xanth.
                       Unless they don’t have a talent. In which case they
                       are exiled to Mundania. The story begins just
                       before his exile, covers his journey through Xanth,
                       then his exile, and his return to Xanth,

                       Hey, long time no see.


                       I work at a place somewhat lost in classic "peri-
                       urban" France, that is we're clearly out of town
                       but for some reason people still live around here.
                       Busy roads and chemical-sprayed crops. Since a few
                       weeks, Romanians have settled around in the wood
                       patch next to our building. At first it was like
                       this one family squatting an abandoned house and we
                       became aware of their presence because their
                       attempt to get access to electricity caused outages
                       at our place. I went there, told them not to fuck
                       with a specific button in our electric cabinet
                       (which is like a hundred meter from the building
                       for some reason) and everyone went back to their
                       stuff. At first my bosses were worried that they
                       would steal our electricity but it turns out they
                       plugged themselves right before our electric meter
                       so it's not on us so they don't care.

                       a black and white photo of a mountain in front of a
                       dark sky with white clouds[1]


                       [...]


                       On the mobile side of things, I kept using my
                       ageing _iPhone_ as it was working well enough, but
                       the shackles that _Apple_ puts on their devices
                       (especially outside the EU) started to get
                       annoying. Especially so if one doesn't use any
                       other _Apple_ devices any longer, where the golden
                       handcuffs otherwise at least in theory should make
                       everything work seamlessly.


                       Long story short, I now replaced my _iPhone_ with a
                       _Pixel_, as I wanted to be able to drive it with
                       GrapheneOS[1] to not replace one megacorp with
                       another one (yes, the irony of having to buy a
                       phone from _Google_ to get rid of all _Google_
                       services isn't lost on me).


                # ⚓ Should_You_Use_the_Command_line?⠀⇛


                       A large part of Linux might seem daunting to a
                       novice user because it involves the command line.
                       Unlike Windows or MacOS where the graphical
                       interface is intertwined with the operating system
                       itself, Linux's GUI is simply another package that
                       is installed. The system can function just the same
                       without it because at its core it relies on
                       something called "tty" to communicate with the
                       user. Essentially ttys are virtual emulations of an
                       old device called teletype which was used as one of
                       the first input/output mechanism for computers.
                       Although originally users communicated with
                       computers primarily through text, we have come to
                       replace this with a more appealing visual interface
                       as it was easier to learn and navigate.


                       This course of events merits little explanation
                       because using the tty required a reasonable grasp
                       of commands and how the system itself functioned.
                       The general public would not have been particularly
                       enticed by the necessity of having to learn
                       commands and syntax just so that they could use
                       these machines. Most operating systems, as a
                       result, have come to entirely replace this
                       mechanism with a visual interface, making tty, even
                       if it existed in certain systems, only a vestige of
                       the past. Linux, on the other hand, still retained
                       this part of history. One of the first things you
                       would see when you install a minimal Linux
                       distribution is just a black screen with a blinking
                       white cursor, patiently waiting for you to
                       programmatically express your will. Graphical
                       interfaces are installed on top of this but you
                       could still communicate with your system even in
                       the absence of such mediation just like how you
                       would 60 years ago.

                       After apcupsd turned my computer off and it came
                       back up, I was getting:


                       knotd[8431]: error: [thebackupbox.net.] zone event
                       'load' failed (missing active KSK or ZSK)


                       in my error logs.


                       My first thought was that the file was missing, or
                       that the permissions were wrong. There /was/ a lot
                       of wrong permissions on those files, but changing
                       them didn't help anything.

                             I saw via one of the poets I follow on
                             Bluesky that Flickr will be making some
                             updates in mid-May to disallow downloads of
                             original- and large-sized images from free
                             accounts. According to them (and honestly, I
                             believe it), this is to prevent abuse of the
                             service as a kind of free cloud storage.


                             I'm a little sad, though, because I still use
                             Flickr: I do a little small press publishing
                             and sometimes use Flickr for the cover images
                             when I find something I like and the license
                             permits. Hopefully this will still work?
                             We'll see. Flickr feels like the flickering
                             screen of an older internet. It's still
                             there; so's Angelfire and Tripod, somehow.
                             The rest of it gone, traces of it still there
                             in the Wayback Machine but maddeningly
                             incomplete.

                # ⚓ A_Shopping_Spree⠀⇛


                       Local grocery store, C&R, is closing. Today they
                       had everything in the store for 90% off. We heard
                       about it around 11am, and when we got there it was
                       nearly cleaned out. However, we got a cart full of
                       stuff for about $40 after the savings. We heard a
                       lady came in earlier in the day and had 6 carts of
                       stuff... she saved $2800.


                       Sad to lose a local grocer (well, regional at
                       least), but fun to have a shopping spree
                       experience. My wife thought I was crazy for
                       purchasing tons of paraffin wax (Gulf Wax, boxed,
                       usually used for canning), but that stuff has a ton
                       of uses. It's normally $6/box around here, and
                       these were sixty-freakin-cents...


                # ⚓ Incremental_progress⠀⇛


                       I don't like painstakingly clenching my teeth to
                       get things done and practice them into my muscle
                       memory, but alas, I have no other option. With
                       proper control of my instrument, I can make so much
                       more than just practice. I can interpret, I can
                       vary, and I can try out new things.


                       In some sense, I become the music I play. If I want
                       to use that kind of a fake deep comparison. Either
                       way, my playing becomes a thing in itself. After

                       In the age of acceleration, repetition is taboo.


                       [...]


                       If QuietSystems holds any promise, it is not in
                       prediction.


                       It is in recursion.


                       It speaks again, not louder—but deeper.


                       Each utterance revisits a prior thought, not to
                       echo, but to reform its contours in a new light.


                       Because in systems—organic or artificial—repetition
                       is not failure.


                       It is how architecture begins.

                       behind the names people give to trends, and this is
                       no exception.


                       I had a Professional Blog for over a decade. In all
                       that time, it was never "polished." My
                       "professional blog" was, for the most part, a
                       digital garden. I'd have an idea, toss it out
                       there, and see what happened.


                       ...Strike that. It wasn't even a digital garden. It
                       was a digital compost heap. I'd have an idea, toss
                       it out there, and ignore it until it fermented with
                       all the other ideas into something new.


                       This blog, too, is a digital compost heap at best.
                       I aspire to the kind of "cultivation" digital
                       gardens have in the form of links between ideas,
                       indicating some kind of throughline of thought or
                       development. But I'm also too interested in Current
                       Thought to go back and organize or round up all the

                 I have published articles online for over 25 years,
                 across four iterations of what then grew into Entropic
                 Thoughts. In 2017, this site switched from a custom
                 static generator to publishing from Emacs using Org, This
                 change afforded a larger design revision, along with
                 something I had wanted for a while: notes in the margin.


                 I’ve had some questions on how that works, but they are
                 always low-effort questions where it’s clear nobody has
                 even bothered to right click and inspect element to see
                 what goes on. At that point, I don’t think anything I can
                 say short of intensive personal tutoring is going to
                 help.


                 But recently someone asked a good question, and that
                 prompted me to write up how it works.

                       enable the production of higher-quality products
                       than it is possible to make on Earth. Astronauts
                       experimented with crystals—a crucial component of

                       This logic fails on multiple levels. First, it
                       fundamentally misunderstands why many Americans
                       voted for Trump. They didn't necessarily embrace
                       constitutional violations, the weaponization of

                       moral clarity when it's offered without

                             possible gains" sounds plausible but is
                             actually an oversimplification. Everyone has
                             decided to ignore Eric Budish's The Economic
                             Limits Of Bitcoin And The Blockchain, which
                             shows that, for safety, the value of
                             transactions in a block must be low relative
                             to the fees in the block plus the reward for
                             mining the block. In other words, the value
                             transacted must be less than the total cost
                             of the transaction. Clearly, this means the
                             network is either unsustainable or unsafe.
                             Right now, the average value per block is
                             around $76M but the miners' income per block
                             is around $285K, violating Budish's criterion
                             by a factor of 267.

                       It's a scary time in the workforce, and especially
                       in the tech sector. In 2024, more than 150,000 job
                       cuts occurred in this area, with giants such as
                       Amazon, Google, Tesla, Microsoft, and others
                       conducting sizable layoffs.

                       Big Four accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers
                       (PwC) is cutting 1,500 U.S. jobs, The Financial
                       Times reported on Monday. The layoffs impact 2% of
                       PwC's 75,000-person U.S. workforce and mainly
                       affect its audit and tax divisions.


                       PwC told The Financial Times that it decided to
                       make the cuts because it experienced multiple years
                       of low attrition or turnover. In other words, few
                       employees chose to leave the firm voluntarily.
                       Before deciding on layoffs, PwC said it examined
                       its business over several months and moved hundreds
                       of employees from unneeded roles to higher-growth
                       positions.

                       “Defendants’ actions are unlawful,” Harvard’s
                       lawsuit states. “The First Amendment does not

                       Musk is clearly imagining a future in which neither
                       his network nor his will can be restrained by the
                       people of this world. But even now, here on Earth,
                       space [Internet] is a big business. Fiber networks
                       cannot extend to every bit of dry land on the
                       planet, and they certainly can’t reach airborne or
                       seaborne vessels. More than 5 million people have
                       already signed up for Starlink, and it is growing
                       rapidly. (You may end up using Starlink when you
                       fly United, for example.) In the not-too-distant
                       future, an expanded version of this system—or one
                       very much like it—could overtake broadband as the
                       [Internet]’s backbone. A decade or two from now, it
                       could be among our most crucial information
                       infrastructure. The majority of our communications,
                       our entertainment, our global commerce, might be
                       beamed back and forth between satellites and the

                       services that operate there, he could end up with

                       sense, inchoately, that the platform is taking
                       advantage of everyone involved. Maybe it manifests
                       as a feeling of anxiety once you land on the app’s
                       strangely cluttered home screen, where users are
                       bombarded with playlist recommendations, each one
                       apparently more bespoke than the last. (My favorite
                       on my current homepage is “Midori Takada Radio”: I
                       like to imagine a whole commercial radio station

                       ambient compositions around the clock—all Takada,
                       all the time.) Maybe it shows up in the music
                       itself, whether in the familiar, highly patterned
                       melodies and airless production that dominate the
                       relaxation-focused playlists, or in the empty
                       atmosphere that permeates more general-purpose
                       playlists like Lorem. Or maybe there is a feeling
                       that you’ve been sold a bill of goods: How did it
                       come to be so hard to listen to an album on Spotify
                       without the platform inserting unwelcome, unrelated

                 A ruling was made and Apple was forced to loosen its grip
                 much like in the EU. Apple again complied in a creatively
                 malicious way. This time around it appears they
                 overplayed their hand.

                 If they want to have more control over the situation,

                 it is on the Mac. At least then they’d have something to
                 point to when the government comes knocking. The option
                 is already available on Android and the majority of users

                 There are two ways to consider a forced divestiture of

                 in web search. One is from a business perspective (which
                 I believe is the only perspective considered by the DOJ).
                 The other is from a technical perspective. I don’t think
                 either makes any sense. I’m not talking about whether
                 it’s fair or just that Google be forced to sell Chrome.

                       You think of op amps as amplifiers because, no
                       kidding, it is right in the name. But just like
                       some people say, “you could do that with a 555,”
                       [Doctor Volt] might say, “you can do that with an
                       op amp.” In a recent video, you can see below, he
                       looks at simulations and breadboards for five
                       applications that aren’t traditional amplifiers.

                       The remote for [Dillan Stock]’s TV broke, so he
                       built a remote. Not just as a replacement but as
                       something new. For some of us, there was a glorious
                       time in the early 2000s when a smart remote was
                       needed and there were options you could buy off the
                       shelf. Just one handy button next to the screen had
                       a macro programmed that would turn on the receiver,
                       DVD player, and TV, and then configure it with the
                       right inputs. However, the march of technological
                       convenience has continued and nowadays soundbars
                       turn on just in time and the TV auto switches the
                       input. Many devices are (for better or worse)
                       connected to WiFi, allowing all sorts of
                       automation.

                       I've been playing with Homeassistant a fair bit of

                       So the first obvious question: what is a SLZB-06M?


                       It is a small, Ukrainian designed device that is a:
                       "Zigbee 3.0 to Ethernet, USB, and WiFi Adapter" So,
                       basically you connect it to your wired network, or
                       via usb or via wifi and it gateways that to a
                       Zigbee network. It's really just a esp32 with a
                       shell and ethernet/wifi/bluetooth/zigbee, but all
                       assembled for you and ready to go.
