at_least_in_the area_of_"Linux" - slopfarms became more scarce lately (Slopwatch is getting hard to do), that does not change the fact that many sites became inactive and news sites are becoming extinct - a trend which by far predates the chatbot mania/frenzy/hype. Every time a holiday is finished (and ads are harder to sell throughout) it seems like even fewer people return to newsrooms. Yes, those are silent layoffs. Fewer "assignments" in this "gig economy" (transient workforce or writers as "contractors", "freelancers", serfs on tap). We find ourselves relying more and more on state-funded news networks for credible journalism (e.g. CBC in Canada and DW in EU/Germany) or mere "inputs" as in reliable information about world affairs, events etc. The situation won't improve. In the UK, journalism is dying, the_national broadcaster_is_under_attack_by_American_criminals, and UK libel law is enabling SLAPPs - a subject we shall cover a lot in years to come because the issue is widely_recognised and it's not a uniquely British issue. Both online and offline, rich and powerful corporations work to silence the media or own_the media. They wish to control the message - and inter alia the narrative - on everything, including potential of slop ("AI"). That explains the awful state of the media already. For the time being, in Daily Links, we'll rely a lot on CBC in Canada and DW in EU/Germany. American criminals have attacked and nearly eliminated VoA, RFA, NPR etc. The national media in the US was already compromised before (e.g. Bill Epsteingate 'buying'_NPR_and_PBS_among_countless_others), but it is very quickly getting so much worse. It's hard to envision anything of real substance left in half a decade or a decade. Social control media? Oh, that would be even worse! Do not ever rely on the private sector to keep you informed. Taxpayers-funded and accountable to taxpayers will always be better and more reliable, on average. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇DW_owned_by_Federal_Government_of_Germany⦈_ *

We now have some Spanish media contacting us and showing interest in EPO affairs. Maybe they can also take note of potential_staff_strikes. Time will tell... breaking the silence is crucial. There is a great deal of fear and such fear is inherently incompatible to a functioning democracy and free press (the latter is typically shouldered by functioning democracies and vice versa). This afternoon we plan to encourage more of our readers to contact local (or national) journalists. Together, one can hope, we can take those scandals "mainstream" (where they belonged all along, if_not_for_SLAPPs). This afternoon's mini-campaign will come in 4 parts and be split apart depending mostly on locality, language, and media's vested interests that can corrupt_journalism. █ * Links_01/12/2025:_US_Regime_Cracks_Down_on_Scholars,_Floods_a_Growing Problem,_"Fame_Can_Cut_Years_From_a_Singer's_Life" * "Investigate_Europe"_Should_Investigate_Europe's_Second-Largest Institution,_the_EPO ⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣄⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣦⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⠆⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡞⢁⣴⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡿⠀⡾⠁⣴⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡇⢸⡇⢸⠇⣰⠓⢦⡀⠀⠀⣀⣸⣷⣶⠎⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡇⠸⡇⢸⡇⢸⡀⠀⢻⠀⠀⠉⢹⡿⠿⢦⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⡄⢻⡄⠻⣄⠙⠦⠾⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠀⠻⣄⡉⠳⠦⠤⠴⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠶⢤⣤⣤⠶⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡈⠙⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⢇⢠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⡄⡈⠝⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠐⠨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⡇⠠⡀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠘⠁⠀⢀⠀⠈⠙⠻⠿⢿⠿⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢁⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⢄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣅⠀⠀⠉⠉⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⣆⠀⠀⠀⠃⢐⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡌⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣬⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠀⠀⣸⡆⠀⢀⣼⢿⢷⠦⣔⠀⠀⠀⣀⡀⠠⡌⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⣰⠀⢀⠄⡦⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠉⠀⠀⣄⣤⣿⡇⠤⠄⢺⣛⢧⣟⠈⡀⢠⠑⡟⡨⢿⣿⣧⢀⠼⢷⠀⡁⡠⣢⠎⠀⢠⣆⡠⣿⢝⢫⢃⣡⡘⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣷⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⡺⢿⡀⣽⣖⣃⠀⠠⠉⠉⠈⢕⢾⣎⠐⢼⡧⣿⠌⠀⠀⠀⡀⠁⡀⣉⢽⡋⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡿⢀⣈⠙⠻⠿⣿⣿⣯⡨⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⣠⣞⣳⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠖⢠⠸⠜⡁⠈⠀⠀⢀⠀⢀⠙⡋⢯⣶⣿⣯⣛⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣃⠜⣿⡗⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣀⣀⠁⠀⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⡟⣟⣟⣟⣉⣰⣿⣿⡏⣓⡀⢆⠠⢄⠄⠀⠀⠐⠀⢱⠔⠥⢝⣟⣿⣟⠏⣤⡠⢀⢀⠀⣠⣶⣃⣤⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⣼⣿⠟⣋⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣵⣤⣦⣼⣯⣠⣀⣤⠐⡹⣆⣲⣿⣿⣟⣟⣨⣿⣿⣧⣴⣾⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡿⠟⠁⠈⢁⣼⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣶⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡟⢿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣷⠀⠙⠻⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣦⣄⡀⠈⠛⠅⡙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⠀⠀⠀⠁⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⡿⠿⠿⠟⠁⣀⣀⣿⣷⣶⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 365 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/01/German_and_Austrian_Media_Publishers_Need_to_Cover_European_Pat.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/01/German_and_Austrian_Media_Publishers_Need_to_Cover_European_Pat.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ German and Austrian Media Publishers Need to Cover European Patent Office (EPO) Scandals Because the EPO Has 3 'Branches' There (75% of Everything in Europe)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025 Raw:_The_European_Patent_Office_(EPO)_is_a_Cash_Cow_of_Germany 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇EPO money diagram⦈ With the exception of a Dutch "branch" (NL), everything the EPO has is located in a German-speaking country, set aside the "lobbying boutique" in Brussels. Some readers sought to help us reach out to German media with "some further suggestions for contact". Many of our readers do speak German and are based in Germany. We kindly ask them to help raise awareness among journalists because it_works. They don't ignore what's sent to them, some are just keeping quiet out of fear or reluctance (based on past fears). If it helps, EPO staff members who are based in Germany or EPO stakeholders that are based in Germany can create "burner accounts" for E-mail and make one- time contact. That too can help. "We read your postings about BILD and Focus Online," some readers told us about older publications [1, 2]. "No real surprise there given the German media track record on covering EPO affairs." "The Süddeutsche Zeitung based in Munich used to have some reasonable coverage up to around 2015/2016. At some point they were well and truly nobbled by Team Battistelli and since then their critical coverage of the EPO is non-existent and anything they publish doesn't go beyond regurgitated EPO press releases." "It's also interesting to see that the Süddeutsche Zeitung doesn't seem to have any coverage of the Oktoberfest "cocaine_bust" and the record-breaking 40,000 Euro fine imposed on the "Spaniard" - something which literally happened on their doorstep. You would think that the leading daily paper from Munich would at least mention it in passing but we couldn't find any trace of it." "As regards media coverage in Germany you might be better off trying one of the following channels which claim to engage in "investigative journalism"...

Errand⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇ncurses-based_menuconfig⦈_ You'd judge a person by what's inside (body and brain), not_the_skin, right? I've been programming for over 30 years and in my late teens I fell in love with making GUIs. I got very good at it. In my 20s I made more GUIs than I can remember and some of them have their code in my personal Web site. Remember we're talking about the 1990s here - some might say the "golden era" of CS or coding. Back then many companies that produced some "application" or "software" (not "app") could raise money, hire skilled people, even sell themselves as an "exit" (if they lacked a business model). When I matured a bit (or "grew up" or "sobered up") I came to realise that GUIs were in fact overrated and making custom programs for one's own need would be impeded by having to tinker with widgets. GCC is a standalone compiler because it doesn't wish to be "absorbed" by other projects and many GNU utilities are command line tools with manpages, even if some GUI 'wrappers' exist for them (think of ffmpeg for a high-profile, non-GNU example). In the OpenBSD world, a lot of the same can be said. OpenSSH is one example of that. It's like a "Swiss Army Knife" for many practical purposes. GUIs are nice in brochures and demos, but in many contexts this mentality does not quite stand out or make clear if: 1) they improve productivity; 2) any changes made don't have a considerable toll at the "widget level" (i.e. programmers' time); 3) scriptability is impeded. When I was 20 I made a computer game that had two modes: command line (text mode) and graphical (3-D with OpenGL as default mode). When I wrote papers about it I always used the former mode as it was possible to script, e.g. to simulate the computer playing against itself, again and again, then produce relevant statistics. Remember that in order to read text (books, papers, news etc.) you probably don't need anything other than a text editor. The presentation won't change the substance, only the "Experience" or the "Ambiance". Don't fall in love with GUIs. There are millions of people who know how to make GUIs, there are many mature frameworks and toolkits for making GUIs (some are graphical design tools that bind widgets to callback functions), and the world needs more unique programs, not "rewrites" in Rust or more "front ends" for things that otherwise work fine and have worked fine for decades. I didn't fall out of love with GUIs, but over time I came to recognise that GUIs are overrated. To run the sites we no longer use a 'Web UI' (WordPress for this site, Drupal for the sister site and to some extent this site as well), we use the terminal it works well for us. It's a lot faster than it was with Drupal and WordPress. Drupal has "drush" because people recognise the same and SSGs already give bloated 'Web UIs' a "run for the money..." Of course the terminal programs that we have could be wrapped up as some ncurses/dialog interface or even a program made with GTK/Qt, but that would be missing the point and merely slow us down. Fancy (bloated, heavy-in-JS) sites and complex GUIs oughtn't be admired. They're not to be evaluated for "worth" based on the number of pixels they take up. False metrics beget mistakes. █ * Let's_Hope_Slopwatch_Has_Become_Obsolete * An_Almost-Depressing_Lack_of_Reliable_News_Sites ⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠂⠄⡀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠄⠤⠠⠀⠰⠠⠤⠀⠤⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠤⠀⠰⠀⠀⠆⠤⠤⠀⠠⢠⠤⠄⠤⠂⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⣒⠒⠒⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⢶⣿⠿⣷⣾⣿⠿⢾⠵⠿⢷⣶⡾⠿⡯⡵⡾⡷⣿⡷⠿⡶⣿⡶⣶⡾⣾⡿⣿⡿⣿⣾⣾⢿⢶⠿⢿⢿⣾⢾⢿⣶⣿⢾⣾⣿⣾⢷⣷⣶⣶⠷⢿⢾⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⡿⢿⡿⣿⣿⢿⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣺⣶⡿⠺⡿⠺⣿⣾⠿⣾⣿⡷⣿⣿⣗⡿⡷⢟⣷⢾⡷⡿⣿⣷⣷⣿⣿⡷⡷⡿⣿⣿⢻⡿⣾⣿⣾⢺⢿⣶⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣺⣾⣾⣿⣾⣿⣟⡿⢿⣿⣷⠻⡷⡟⣷⣶⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣽⣟⣿⣿⣟⣻⢛⣿⣏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡻⢛⣛⣻⣹⣿⣯⣟⣿⣿⣿⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣻⣿⣿⣟⣟⣻⢿⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣟⣻⣿⢻⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣸⣇⣀⣀⣒⣐⣒⣐⣐⣂⣀⣀⣒⣘⣀⣦⡀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣐⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⠶⣿⣷⣾⡿⡿⡷⣾⣶⡾⣿⣷⣿⣷⣾⡾⣾⡿⣷⣿⣷⣿⣼⣼⣷⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡷⡶⡿⢷⣿⣿⣿⣷⣟⣿⢷⠿⣿⡷⢿⢿⣿⣞⠶⡿⣿⣿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣟⣛⣿⣟⣛⣛⣟⡻⠓⣚⡛⣻⣟⣿⣟⣻⣻⣿⣛⣻⣛⣿⣿⣻⢛⣿⣿⣟⣻⣻⣿⣿⣿⣻⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣯⣿⣿⣯⣟⣿⣿⣯⣽⣿⣿⣏⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣿⣽⣯⣥⣿⣯⣿⣧⣯⣯⣯⣿⣷⣿⣽⣭⣯⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣼⣭⣯⣿⣭⣾⣿⣯⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⣾⣿⣮⣵⣶⣷⣿⡷⣧⣼⣧⡿⡤⣤⣷⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡾⡿⠿⠷⠿⡷⣿⣟⢷⡷⣿⠷⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣳⣿⠾⠟⣟⡗⡛⡟⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣤⣦⣸⣦⣦⣨⣄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 838 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/01/Investigate_Europe_Should_Investigate_Europe_s_Second_Largest_I.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/01/Investigate_Europe_Should_Investigate_Europe_s_Second_Largest_I.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ "Investigate Europe" Should Investigate Europe's Second-Largest Institution, the EPO⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Investigate_Europe⦈_ The European Patent Office (EPO) is doing a lot of really bad things and several journalists from large publishers have_shown_interest; at least some openly express fear of the EPO, based on past experiences (intimidation and worse). EPO insiders have totally legitimate reasons to call_the_principal culprits_"Mafia". I heard such stories - even firsthand and in person - as far back as over 10 years ago. There's definitely a Mafia-like culture at the EPO and that extends to its treatment of the press. "For information," some readers told us last month, there's a site called "Investigate Europe". They seem like decent people. We urge readers to contact these people. As our readers put it: "We recently came across this group of journalists which calls itself "Investigate_Europe". They describe themselves as follows: "A cross-border team of reporters, editors and producers, Investigate Europe delivers in-depth investigative journalism from a changing Europe. Our reporting shines a light on the untold stories, unchecked institutions and hidden structures shaping the continent today. Together, we connect the dots on Europe."" One of their areas of interest is "Unchecked_Power_-_How_systems_and_structures wield_influence_over_Europe". To relay how our readers put it: "Maybe it would be worth contacting_them about EPO matters?" "The main office seems to be based in Berlin, including the following people: - Managing Director Anne-Katrin Zapryanova: zapryanova@investigate-europe.eu Two reporters: - Nico Schmidt: schmidt@investigate-europe.eu - Harald Schumann: schumann@investigate-europe.eu Hope that this information might be of some assistance." They're based in Berlin and this_morning_we_mentioned_how_EPO_staff_in_Berlin plans industrial_action, so this isn't just relevant to them but also timely. If you choose to contact them, please do so amicably and politely. Try to be helpful to them, not critical of them. █ * Call_for_Media_Awareness_and_Action_Bears_Fruit,_European_Patent_Office_ (EPO)_Has_a_History_of_Contempt_for_the_Media_(Also:_the_EPO's Communication_Chief_Does_Cocaine) * German_and_Austrian_Media_Publishers_Need_to_Cover_European_Patent_Office (EPO)_Scandals_Because_the_EPO_Has_3_'Branches'_There_(75%_of_Everything in_Europe) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 936 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/01/IRC_Proceedings_Sunday_November_30_2025.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/01/IRC_Proceedings_Sunday_November_30_2025.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IRC Proceedings: Sunday, November 30, 2025⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇This_unique_drone_photo,_taken_using_my_Mavic_Air_in_Western Colorado,_shows_the_clear_patterns_of_erosion_for_multiple_soil_types.⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GN 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_Gedit⦈_ #techrights_log #boycottnovell_log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GN 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_Gedit⦈_ #boycottnovell-social_log #techbytes_log =============================================================================== The corresponding text-only bulletins for_Tux_Machines and for_Techrights contain all the text.

Lately, however, and not just because of the US holiday (also predating it [1, 2]; we noticed this a week before it began), we could hardly find enough examples of "Linux" slop to do another Slopwatch. To be clear, it's not that Google - or Google News for that matter - successfully and belatedly culled slopfarms; even sites we regularly monitor (e.g. for slop) weren't active or weren't producing slop. If the "AI" (slop) bubble is silently bursting, or if slopfarms have come to accept they have no viable future, then that is a big thing! It'll not only be good for the Web but also for people who regularly cover GNU/Linux. Numerically, I'd estimate that the volume of slop fell by more than half last month. █ * Silent_Layoffs_at_IBM:_Still_Using_PIPs_to_Hide_Full_Scope_and_Extent_of Layoffs * Infatuation_With_GUIs_is_a_Misguided_Fool's_Errand ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣽⠫⠿⢿⣿⣻⡿⠿⢿⣿⡿⣿⠟⢿⣿⠿⠿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣭⠧⣝⣣⣿⣿⣾⣷⣷⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣷⣿⣷⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣷⣽⣳⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣛⣯⣿⢭⡫⣿⣏⢎⣿⣛⣽⣿⣯⣙⣿⢿⣯⣯⡫⣿⣯⣿⣫⣧⣽⢝⣩⣿⢝⣽⣹⣍⡨⡿⣩⣏⣝⣿⣏⡯⣻⣱⣽⣫⣿⣏⣽⣭⣿⡷⣿⣏⣽⣿⣟⣽⣿⣭⣿⣿⣝⣯⣯⣽⣯⣫⣿⢽⣯⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣧⣿⣷⣯⣿⣦⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣸⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣽⣯⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣦⣿⣿⣿⣽⣧⣯⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣹⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣇⢿⣿⣿⣏⣩⣿⣇⣿⣩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⣗⣿⣗⣿⣯⣹⣿⣯⣾⣯⣾⣿⣻⣯⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣯⣯⣽⣾⣷⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣏⣿⣟⣿⣿⣇⣿⣿⣛⣹⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⠿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⢻⡿⡿⣿⣿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⡟⣻⢻⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣾⣿⣶⣿⣽⣿⣶⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣾⣿⣽⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣟⣹⣿⣏⣹⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1230 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/01/Nokia_s_Linux_Journey_Nokia_770_Internet_Tablet_Turns_20_a_Time.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/01/Nokia_s_Linux_Journey_Nokia_770_Internet_Tablet_Turns_20_a_Time.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Nokia's Linux Journey (Nokia 770 Internet Tablet) Turns 20, a Time to Remember How Much Microsoft Hates Linux⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Picture_of_Nokia_770_on_Finnish_Wikipedia⦈_ In Gopherspace (Jirka's Phlog), someone is playing_with_older_PDAs, so I've just been reminded of my own, which sits there charging in front of me. Next year it turns 22 (its first introduction in the market was in_November_2002, 23+ years ago). It still works reasonable well. It sometimes feels like the more recently some technology gets made, the less likely it is to have been manufactured to last. Disposables are the new "cool". Quoting Jirka's Phlog: Last month I was searching for some accessories for your digital camera (the SONY DSC-W530) and found some other machines instead. I still have some old PDA machines from late 1990s and early 2000s. Actually, I don't remember when I actually used them for the last time. I use my PSION II (a 1980s device) daily but I don't use newer device. I usually have my Nokia 900 available as a spare phone/camera but I only used it to made a few pictures this year. The problem is, of course, that it is now too tiny for my aging eyes (and I'm unable to make it work in the modern HTTPS/SSL world... fo on https:// sites, no e-mail). I have the battery installed in the Nokia 770 (in keeps charge for very long time) but I only turned it on to check if it's still alive (and to read a few some text in the FBReader). The Nokia 770 was introduced_in_November_2005, so that's almost exactly two decades ago. Years_later_Microsoft_attacked_and_fatally_injured_Nokia. Do not ever forgot what_Microsoft_did_to_Nokia and its Linux-based portfolio. Microsoft is so malicious about monopoly retention that even other monopolies formally_file_complaints_about_Microsoft's_abuses. In 2025 Microsoft still bribes_people_to_avoid_the_competition. What sort of "market competition" is this? █ * Search_for_"linux"_in_Google_News,_Get_Slopfarms * Gemini_Links_01/12/2025:_Romania's_National_Day,_Labels_in_Geminispace, and_Advent_of_Code

Many of them are now debating or entertaining the_plan_of_going_on strike (or other industrial action, e.g. working slowly to protest). Local Bureau Berlin, the "lesser known" EPO 'branch' (the 'HQ' is in Munich, not Berlin) wrote to its union members: Dear SUEPO Members, The Local Section Berlin of SUEPO held a General Assembly on 13 November 2025. The members noted the impact of the current salary adjustment method on their purchasing power, which has significantly declined between 2020 and 2026. The General Assembly unanimously mandated the Local Bureau Berlin of SUEPO to coordinate and organise, together with the other Local Bureaus, the preparations for industrial action. The President and the Chair of the Administrative Council have been informed by this open letter. They're already formalised this by contacting "the_Mafia" (and the_protector_of "the_Mafia", Josef Kratochvíl): INTERNATIONALE GEWERKSCHAFT IM EUROPÄISCHEN PATENTAMT STAFF UNION OF THE EUROPEAN PATENT OFFICE UNION SYNDICALE DE L'OFFICE EUROPEEN DES BREVETS Ortssektion Berlin ocal Section Berlin Section locale de Berlin 17 November 2025 su25001bp – 0.2.1 Mr António Campinos President of the EPO – by email – in copy: Mr Josef Kratochvíl Chair of the Administrative Council of the EPOrg § OPEN LETTER⠀➾ § Mandate to coordinate and organise preparations for industrial action⠀➾ Dear Mr Campinos, The Local Section Berlin of SUEPO held a General Assembly on 13 November 2025. The members took note of the effects of the current salary adjustment method, particularly the significant decline in the purchasing power of their salaries over the period 2020 to 2026. This development stands in stark contrast to the sustained hard work of the staff, which has led to marked increase in production and productivity. The Assembly also recognised the substantially improved – now excellent – financial situation of the Office. It is troubling that more than a thousand legal cases had to be initiated by SUEPO members because of the inadequate legal and technical quality of the current method. Staff and pensioners will now have to wait several years for the corresponding judgments. In view of the upcoming discussions in the Administrative Council on a new salary adjustment method, the members expect that the damage already incurred by staff will be remedied. Moreover, any new method must reliably maintain the purchasing power of salaries and must fully comply with the legal and technical standards applied by other international organisations. Therefore, the General Assembly unanimously mandated the Local Bureau Berlin of SUEPO to coordinate and organise, together with the other Local Bureaus, the preparations for industrial action. We nonetheless remain open to constructive dialogue and would appreciate continued contact with you. Yours sincerely, Peter Kempen Chair of Local Bureau Berlin of SUEPO It is dated 2 weeks ago, but we've only just received it. Today my wife spontaneously reminded me - because of a photograph of me in front of Brandenburg Gate (random shuffle) - that when we traveled to Berlin (amid very high EPO tensions) staff at the airport separated us. I discussed this with some associates; I've since then not traveled abroad. █ * Gemini_Links_01/12/2025:_Loon_Pond_Meditation,_Too_Many_Tabs,_and Disclosing_(Mis)Use_of_Slop * "IBM_Research"_in_Albany,_New_York_"on_the_Chopping_Block" ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⠿⠟⠁⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡉⠉⠀⠀⠈⠀⠉⠙⠛⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⡿⠿⠻⠟⠛⠛⠻⠟⢯⣅⢲⡎⢀⢈⣹⡓⢦⡠⠤⣴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣧⠄⠉⢦⢠⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⣀⠸⠛⠉⠀⠤⢄⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⢀⠜⠁⠈⠘⠿⠇⠈⠙⠀⠰⠦⣄⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠙⠟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠿⠛⠛⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⣠⡅⠀⠀⠁⣄⡀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣧⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⢀⣢⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠌⠠⢤⡀⠈⠙⠛⢋⣉⡁⠐⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠙⠻⢿⣿⡏⣿⠸⠏⠀⠀⣾⠄⢑⣿⣿⠰⣶⡤⢀⣤⣁⣤⣅⣀⣀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠁⢀⣼⣿⡿⠿⣷⣶⣆⠀⡀⠀⣵⣶⣆⣼⣿⣷⣾⡔⠓⢿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠤⠀⠀⠙⢿⡿⣛ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣟⡠⠘⣠⣀⢰⡞⠈⢀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠉⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠘⠛⣿⣿⡞⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⡼⣿⡟⢉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣄⡀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠈⣷⣾ ⢀⣀⣨⡄⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⢹⣷⠁⠀⡈⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⢠⣶⣾⡟⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⡠⣈⠍⠉⠀⠀⣠⣺⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⡝⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⡿ ⢿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢸⣿⠀⠀⡘⣸⣿⡿⣻⣿⣿⡿⡶⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠛⠁⣤⣤⣾⣿⣐⣠⣾⣿⣿⣧⠀⠘⠿⢿⣿⠟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢋⣀⣰⣿⣷⣶⣤⣀ ⡳⠙⡃⠀⠀⡀⠐⠈⠁⠘⣷⡀⠀⠐⠿⣫⣾⣿⢛⣵⠏⢉⠁⠀⠀⠐⠀⠰⢶⡆⠘⠻⠛⠹⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⢴⣷⣶⡆⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣵⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠛⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣄⣸⣷⠀⣨⣴⣿⢿⣿⡭⠐⣤⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣤⣄⢼⣿⣿⣦⣻⣿⣿⣿⡗⢤⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⡹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠨⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠀⠛⢟⣿⣶⣾⣥⡚⢿⣯⣠⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⠿⠛⠛⠤⣍⣙⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⣀⢘⣣⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡉⣛⠿⠟⠁⣻⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⢐⣡⣌⡤⡈⢴⡦⠠⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣻⣤⣴⣶⣌⣭⠁⠀⠀⢀⣀⣾⣥⠄⠔⣦⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣉⣨⣿⣿⡯⠿⠷⠒⣋⡁⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⡞⠑⣻⣿⣿⣾⣾⣿⣧⣶⣶⣤⣤⣄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠾⢛⣿⡇⠐⠪⠉⣹⣿⣿⣿⠿⠅⠭⢙⣋⣥⣄⣔⢐⣾⣿⡗⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⡿⠘⠛⠏⠹⣿⣿⣿⣻ ⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡉⣽⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⠀⠀⡌⠉⢿⣷⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⡿⡿⣶⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⡻⠷⠀⢼⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⠏⢰⡀⠀⣈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣠⡙⠻⣿⡿⢻⡿⣁⠀⠢⢻⢿⣟⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣷⣷⡠⣾⣶⡿⠿⠿⠿⠩⣿⣿⣧⣤⣾⣿⣦⣴⣾⣿⣿⣦⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⠮⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠛⠛⠃⠀⠉⢻⣓⣿⣽⠟⣁⢵⣿⡫⡛⣿⡏⠀⣀⣀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠁⢀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⢀⡴⠰⠃⢤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠠⠽⠾⡿⠯⠍⠂⠀⣀⣙⣀⣠⣴⣾⣿⣿⣷⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠉⢹⣛⣿⣿⣿⡟⢛⣛⣛⣛⣿⣿⣿⡿⢟⡁⣶⣿⣽⣀⣀⣐⠏⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠰⢲⣆⠐⠒⠆⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣯⠉⠢⢄⠻⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣣⣤⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠔⢻⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣴⣦⣤⣤⣤⣦⣤⣤⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠈⠻⠟⠻⣿⡏⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1813 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/01/Search_for_linux_in_Google_News_Get_Slopfarms.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/01/Search_for_linux_in_Google_News_Get_Slopfarms.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Search for "linux" in Google News, Get Slopfarms⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025, updated Dec 01, 2025 After some cautious_optimism (this morning) we've once again checked Google News. We did that a few moments ago, only to find a triplet of slopfarms that infest Google News and all got promoted by it earlier today. They're trying_to override_originals_about_a_new_release_of_Linux using SEO by slop, permutation, and fake images: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slop_or_fake:_Linux_6.18_Released_With_Updated_Drivers, Enhanced_Hardware_Support_and_File_Systems⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slop_or_fake:_Linux_6.18_Rolls_Out_With_Major_Hardware Support_Upgrades_and_Driver_Enhancements⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slop_or_fake:_Linux_6.18_Released_With_Enhanced_Hardware Support,_Updated_Drivers_and_File_Systems⦈_ All the above are controlled by the same person/s. Further down Google News also promotes another fake site. It targets news about GNU/Linux growth, e.g. [1, 2]. The WebProNews slopfarm: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slop_or_fake:_Linux_Desktop_Adoption_Surges_to_11%_in_2025 Amid_Windows_Shift⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slop_or_fake:_Linux_User_Base_Surges_in_2025:_Privacy,_Cost Drive_Growth⦈_ They use fake text to cover real news. That's a problem. Why does Google help them? This merely distorts information, rewards plagiarism, and reduces credibility. The simplest explanation regarding Google's motivation (or apathy) is, Google itself participates in slop and tries to sell slop (under the guise of Bard, rebranded_as_"Gemini"_for_likely_nefarious_reasons). Google lacks a financial incentive to let "AI" fail, become passé, and for Google's valuation bubble to implode due to it selling lies and false promises/ prospects of "intelligence". █ *

Coverage About Campinos, EUIPO, and a Call for Action on EPO Press Coverage⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇A_hell_of_a_drug⦈_ The European Patent Office (EPO) has several newsworthy scandals right now. Asking_readers_to_contact_journalists has paid off. Regarding Spanish journalists, readers sold of of "two possible contacts", based on their existing knowledge of EUIPO_problems and António_Campinos, back then its chief (he was parachuted into the EPO despite of his lack of expertise in patents). Regarding "Spanish journalists," we got told, and "for information..." "Between December 2016 and July 2018, the Spanish daily El Mundo published a number of articles which were critical of Campinos and his governance of the EUIPO in Alicante. "The first article in December 2016 was written by Gema Penalosa and was about the drunk driving incident involving Jorge Buratti Campinos (Antonio's son) and his unsuccessful efforts to invoke his father's diplomatic immunity. GEMA PEÑALOSA 01/12/2016 - Papá,_¿me_prestas_tu_inmunidad? "Apparently Campinos was really irritated by this article and thereafter treated El Mundo with contempt. "Towards the end of 2017 El Mundo published a number of articles about a controversial EUIPO outsourcing decision where around 150 IT jobs which had been performed by local contractors were outsourced to India. ALICANTE - Denuncia de la eurodiputada de EU 28.11.2017 - Albiol:_"La_EUIPO_contrata_en_India_el_mantenimiento_informático_y deja_sin_trabajo_a_150_alicantinos" IMPRESIÓN 30.11.2017 - La_larga_y_polémica_despedida_de_Campinos_de_la_ciudad_de_Alicante HÉCTOR FERNÁNDEZ 03.12.2017 - EUIPO_y_la_deslocalización HÉCTOR FERNÁNDEZ 17.12.2017 - La_Euipo_no_puso_reparos_a_la_externalización_de_150_puestos_de trabajo_a_la_India "Finally in July 2018, El Mundo published a rather sarcastic article bidding "farewell" to Campinos as he departed from Alicante to take up his new job at the head of the EPO in Munich. "In this article, Fernandez mentions how Campinos reacted to the December 2016 article about his son's drunk driving by treating El Mundo and its readers with contempt. HÉCTOR FERNÁNDEZ 15.07.2018 - Adiós_Campinos,_queda_tu_carril "The journalists responsible for EUIPO coverage at El Mundo were Gema Penalosa and Hector Fernandez. "Penalosa is still with El_Mundo. "Hector Fernandez is now with El_Espanol." Of course Campinos got a sniff or a taste of lawlessness and impunity in Spain. Then he exported that to Germany. Before Techrights contacted Spanish journalists it repeatedly attempted to contact German journalists. That would not result in anything, but it would show that German media is by no means better than the press in Moscow (because 0 out of anything is still 0% and even in Moscow there's a remote possibility of non-zero). █ * German_and_Austrian_Media_Publishers_Need_to_Cover_European_Patent_Office (EPO)_Scandals_Because_the_EPO_Has_3_'Branches'_There_(75%_of_Everything in_Europe) * We_Keep_Seeing_Evidence_That_IBM_RAs_Impact_India_as_Well ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠟⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣯⣽⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣞⣟⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣻⣿⢿⢛⡿⡹⡼⡹⢹⣀⣿⣷⣬⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣯⣧⣵⣾⣾⠺⢿⢿⢛⡟⣟⡏⡜⡝⢽⣾⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡟⠏⡟⣿⢩⢹⢹⡰⣡⣓⣯⣼⣼⡾⣿⣿⠾⣻⣟⢿⢛⢿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣧⣷⢿⣼⣷⠿⡿⡿⡽⣿⣔⡺⡹⢱⣳⣃⣧⣧⣧⣽⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⢨⡊⣎⣸⣚⣭⣥⣷⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢟⣛⡋⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⢐⠲⠬⠕⢐⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⡒⠤⠍⢐⣁⣩⠤⠄⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠰⠮⢙⣀⣲⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣿⡛⣻⢯⣹⣹⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣷⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⡠⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⢿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⢀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠄⠐⡀⠀⢀⠈⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠓⠂⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡠⣀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠤⠀⠂⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⣴⣶⣤⣀⣀⣀⠀⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠉⠛⠛⠚⠒⠒⠶⠶⠦⠦⠤⠤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2196 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/01/Silent_Layoffs_at_IBM_Still_Using_PIPs_to_Hide_Full_Scope_and_E.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/01/Silent_Layoffs_at_IBM_Still_Using_PIPs_to_Hide_Full_Scope_and_E.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Silent Layoffs at IBM: Still Using PIPs to Hide Full Scope and Extent of Layoffs⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇People_being_laid_off⦈_ October 2025: IBM_Allegedly_Found_New_Tricks_for_Silent_Layoffs:_LPI,_Then_MIS_ (Not_PIP) At IBM, the scale of the layoffs is hidden in all sorts of ways. One is, of course, causing people to resign (that's what those "last days" are often all about). Failing that, they'll get fired under the guise of poor performance (under an insulting pretext with an ultimatum such as PIP). When the media asks IBM's spokespeople about "RAs" it gets an incomplete_picture. To be clear, PIPs are typically impossible to fulfil, even by their very design. It's an HR 'hack'. It torments workers; they either fail or they 'proactively' decide to 'leave'. Survival is a rare exception. I personally do not believe in long posts (or articles) but in posts that get to the point and are as concise as feasible (while including all the necessary background), so let's get to the point and discuss_this_new_comment: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Silent_layoffs:_How_does_performance_factor_into_layoff_?_At my_site_it_seemed_like_a_third_of_the_low_performers_were_picked_but_most_the people_weren’t_ranked_low_performers_and_were_average_._I_noticed_a_lot_of_mid to_late_thirty_something’s_who_got_let_go_were_average_performers_and_it_seems the_whole_thing_was_done_the_way_it_was_to_minimize_legal_issues_and_they didn’t_call_it_a_performance_related_layoff._I_think_the_low_performer_list_is a_list_of_suggestions_possibly_but_they_sometimes_just_got_through_with_the_pip and_fire_them_at_my_site_and_then_they_don’t_get_severance_at_all⦈_ This is the sort of story told by many others. PIPs are not really about performance (the "P" in there; the acronym as a whole is hogwash) and many who are targeted would be considered based on parameters like age or legal risk (by HR). So the workers needn't take their targeting personally; it's not really about their "value" or "performance", for elimination is often determined by the unit/project they are assigned to. They're not low performers. So how far will IBM go? Well, there is this good new_comment_on_what_IBM_needs_to_do: IBM will continue layoffs until it finds a business model that works and works reliably for many years. For the last two decades, Software, Hardware, and Services have taken turns playing the IBM not-me game. I won’t make profit, but I will amplify that other team which will directly own your profit. Without my synergy, you will surely fail, so you must keep me. Every couple years, a new profit maker is anointed and a new round of the game begins. Even if they find a model, it needs to work reliably for many years. Not so long ago at the beginning of Watson (AI), a Watson kick-off meeting was held in Austin for the entire Watson management team. The business plan presented would rapidly accelerate to stratospheric heights in 3 or better yet 2 years and remain there for 20-30 years before starting a gradual and still profitable decline. Commoditization utterly destroyed this plan and business in 18 months. Models fail even faster in 2025. In a world of cheap vanilla-grade CPUs, RAM, networking, and storage and completely free software, it’s hard to find a higher grade product that people will pay for outside of regulated businesses. And those who do unquestionably need the value add point to the cheap stuff and demand lower pricing. And the cowards in sales fear losing 100% of their commission and decide that a steep discount benefits both them and their client. This is nothing new; it’s just come to IBM’s corner of tech now. In the 80’s there was a battle between two consumer video storage systems: Betamax and VHS. The cheaper — in both senses — won out. There were superior alternatives to Compact Discs for audiophiles, but the CD wiped them off the market. MP3 audio compression is terrible, but it dominated the music streaming and download business for a long time. All 3 of IBM’s pillars (Hardware, Services, and Software) have experienced their own versions of this. That’s why they play not-me. IBM has 3 future strategies. Hybrid Cloud, which can’t sustain an IBM-sized business. AI which is already deep into the commoditization spiral and has as an industry accumulated over a trillion dollars in debt. IBM has already stepped off the AI stage, preferring to serve as high-end salesmen for partners’ actual products packaged up with an IBM bow. Quantum Computing: how many non-governmental clients will actually need this capability badly enough to shoulder some risk, finance the development costs, and pay ongoing support. Quantum computing could be the opening for IBM to become the CocaCola Bottling company of tech — providing a low-profit product that makes others fabulously wealthy. Until these things change, IBM will have to undergo periodic amputations. When it ends in one or more passes through Bankruptcy Court, then we will discover how bad things can get. A once failing tech company called Apple righted itself for a while by leaving the tech industry and joining the fickle fashion industry. Is there another industry where centenarian IBM might fit well? Buckle up folks … and prepare for turbulence for the duration of the flight. At a bare minimum and as a necessary start, the_leadership_needs_to_be rebooted. Buzzwords_mania_won't_save_the_company,_it's_about_shareholders temporarily_gaming_the_market (or "system"), compromising what's left of the brand (and company) to enrich themselves. To many companies, shareholders aren't backers but opportunistic parasites which doom companies for short-term personal gains. █ * Over_at_Tux_Machines... * Let's_Hope_Slopwatch_Has_Become_Obsolete

companies." (More_earlier) 2 hours ago: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Today_marks_my_last_working_day_at_IBM,_closing_an incredible_4-year_journey_filled_with_learning,_growth,_and_unforgettable experiences.⦈_ In Kerala, India (since around 2021, so nearly half a decade at IBM) The popular or hot thing to say inside IBM (not a taboo unless you show your real name) is that "the jobs go to India" or "replaced at IBM by someone on a visa" (the lion's share of tech-related visas are granted to Indians, not just at IBM). However, this past week we see evidence of quite a few people based in India leaving_IBM. Some of them give no indication of having found employment elsewhere (another country or company), so it looks like IBM layoffs, which IBM would call "RAs". Combining this with mass layoffs and permanent closures in places like Mexico and Brazil (no prospect of very high salaries), you can truly tell something ain't right at IBM. Some Red Hat staff is just tactlessly blowing smoke and attacking community developers, maybe out of frustration (it must be stressful to still work at Red Hat right now; they do PIPs). Given the flow of money (people in the media eating_from_IBM's_palm), the lack of media coverage about this isn't shocking.

And, more to the point, I just haven't felt strongly motivated to write anything for the past few weeks. However, it's been a long time since I let a whole (calendar) month go by in silence, and for some reason I'm reluctant to do so now, so I'd better dash something off before November draws to its rapidly impending close. When it comes to finding things to write about, though ... well, we've got the big stuff, that stubbornly fails to cohere into a pithy phlog post. And then we've got the small stuff, that's maybe too trivial to be of much interest - to others certainly, and possibly even to myself. But if we can look past its triviality, maybe the small stuff can at least gesture in the direction of something of greater import. Let's give it a shot. # ⚓ The_high_blood_pressure_incident⠀⇛ Two weeks ago, on October 15th, in a routine medical check the doctor found out that my blood pressure was so high that I could have suffered significant damage. I like to call it "the incident" for some reason, don't know why. From that day on, my life has changed significantly. Now I eat without any added salt, I avoid coffee, alcohol and any other thing that can make my blood pressure rise. What is more, since I need to lead a healthy life, I do not eat sugar. The only sugar I get comes from fruit. Can't get any healthier. Thus, I think I started a chain reaction in the sense that avoiding salt and sugar I do not eat ultra-processed food anymore. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ My_take_on_cyberdecks⠀⇛ The winter has come, and I'm returning as promised. Throughout the no-post November, I have remembered another long-forgotten obsession of mine: DIY. And I also remembered a trend among some DIY+cyberpunk folks: building cyberdecks. So, what's a cyberdeck in the first place? In the original cyberpunk novels, these were the devices with some kind of brain-to-net interface to jack into the cyberspace. IRL though, the broadest definition of a cyberdeck is: "a DIY portable PC in a non-standard form factor for specialized or general usage". While this technically is true, I'd add some more constraints to this definition. You see, a lot of cyberdecks I've seen online have been built with full access to manufacturing facilities like 3D printers or even CNC machines. Which, in my opinion, contradicts the entire cyberpunk vibe. So, I personally define a true real-world cyberdeck as a DIY portable PC that: 1) has a non-standard form factor, 2) is hand-assembled from existing scrap/spare parts with minimum outside sourcing, 3) once assembled, is fully autonomous but modular enough to replace **any** part with ease. # ⚓ KeePassRX_0.12.0:_Onwards_to_a_Fully_Functioning_App⠀⇛ The manual has also been updated to reflect the new features in this version. With this version of KeePassRX, it is starting to change from "weekend hack job" into "a proper mobile app." The next major feature is, of course, editing the password database. But there are still some smaller things to add before that (namely, supporting attachments) and further migration of the app's architecture to actually support editing the password database. The general roadmap I have for KeePassRX is to develop the baseline read-only functionality first, and squash as many bugs as possible out of that before adding edit functionality. And when I do start working on editing password databases, that too will be released in phases. The most likely place to start is adding and removing tags from entries: it's self-contained, simple, but still requires having the entire infrastructure in the code for editing. # ⚓ kiwi⠀⇛ In case you are curious about it, kiwi is the hostname of my raspberry pi model 3. This week I have upgraded it to raspbian trixie, well that is not correct. Raspbian is now called Raspberry Pi OS. I had not upgraded it for a long time and I'll tell you why. I love and hate my raspi at the same time: Love: 1. It is a lovely toy but make no mistake, it is a powerful computer, and you have to take it seriouly. My respect to the project. 2. I can have it working 24/7 since its power comsumption is truly low 3. It has both ethernet and wifi connectivity which is great, you can place it anywhere in your house/ office. Even under your bed... (joke) # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ FRST_Computer_Exits_Stealth_Mode⠀⇛ Tonight, FRST Computer exits "stealth mode"... One of the unique advantages of gopher has been its quiet, out-of-the-way quality and I've enjoyed the quiet of this space to "air out" some of my ideas on personal computing, permacomputing, cyberdecks, solarpunk... But tonight, I'm sharing some more details of what I've been up to in my lab and how I plan to expand my reach while continuing to prioritize FRST's gopher presence. This is happening -- I'm finally ready to sell you something! :) [...] What became clear to me is that this alternate timeline deserves the 'grid computing' envisioned by the brilliant Bell Labs team that brought us Plan 9. When Sir Berners-Lee himself has expressed his grave concern that the modern Internet is beyond saving, it's time for us to take it upon ourselves to build the cyber space we deserve. I envision small, local, people (neighbor)-oriented digital networks that overlay naturally against our in-real-life social networks. I've been spending most of my evenings these past couple of years studying packet radio, LoRa, FidoNet, 9P and brushing up on my OSI Model stuff in order to make something real that might help us build such networks. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Outside I saw the most amazing enlightened tree I've seen in several years [1]—it was like something straight out of Minecraft [2]: [A tree with white Christmas lights covering the trunk and green Christmas lights in the canopy, looking very much like a Minecraft tree] But unlike Minecraft, this tree canopy is a cylinder and not blocks. [3] [4] # ⚓ Error_ID10T:_PEBKAC⠀⇛ Another errand Bunny and I did yesterday [1] was to pick up a new black ink cartridge for the printer (which cost about half the price of the printer, but that's another rant for another time). We got home, and I replaced the cartridge. Later that night, Bunny attempted to print out The New York Times Crossword Puzzle [2], as she does every night. Only it did not print properly. No black was being printed. We futzed with it for some time, and Bunny was able to get enough of the crossword puzzle to work with it, but overall, the black was problematic. I was fearful that we to buy a new printer. # ⚓ Loon_Pond_Meditation⠀⇛ I am seated on a log at Loon Pond. It just snowed yesterday. There is at least five inches of snow on the ground. All of the color that used to be here has been flattened out. All of the plants are either brown, or gray, or tan. The water used to be blue; it is now a murky brown-gray. The trees have left their foliage behind; all of them now are just a dark gray. And of course, the sky is gray also. It's not one color though: at the zenith, everything is light, and there is almost a bluish tint to it; but, as your gaze approaches the horizon, maybe ten or fifteen degrees above, there is a solid, darker band of dark gray; but, just before the tree-line in the far distance, the sky returns to a very light gray again, with shades of blue. It seems like everything should be dead by now, and perhaps most of it is, or at least it's asleep, but there's still quite a bit of motion and life here. The wind is the most lively: strong, eastward winds, pushing, billowing the tree-tops, pulling up snowdrifts, creating continuous ripples across the lake surface. Winter is the time of year where the wind is the strongest. It's where most of its power can be unleashed, as there is a distinct lack of foliage and buffer to keep it at bay. Now that we're entering a time when the jet stream is further south, that means that there is also a greater propensity for polar winds to come through, and they have their own character about them. They roar over the canopy, giant powerful blowing feelings. You can actually hear the atmosphere being pushed around, hundreds of feet above your head. It's not just the sound of the tree branches hitting each other, as you can hear it out in clearings also. It's a whistling noise, but it's also a bit of a thundering noise. It's a sensation that instills a feeling of fear, or mortality. I am grateful for that. Something as simple as a gust of wind can remind me of my impermanence. The great, blowing power of the atmospheric winds above me are stronger and more permanent than I am on this earth. If I were up there, I would be swept away and killed very quickly. And even as the trees around me are all dead, they still protect me. I am also grateful for the trees. # ⚓ Fog⠀⇛ I was never going to be able to see, the path which was laid infront of me. # ⚓ Drawings⠀⇛ I signed up for a drawing class this year at the local worker's institute. The autumn semester is over for now, and I've really liked it! Two of my friends also joined the same class, which makes it that much more fun to go, since I get to socialise with them. Seeing your friends in an adult life becomes saddeningly difficult as time goes on. My friends have wildly different drawing styles and things they focus on, so comparing our drawings is a lot of fun. It's a quite open-ended concept - the class visits different places in the city, and you draw whatever you like from the vicinity. The teacher comes periodically to discuss your progress, your subject, and making observations and giving tips to the drawing. She's a really pleasant and encouraging person, and I quite like the concept of the class. The class also makes sure I actually draw sometimes, it's something I like to do but often forget about. It also lets me observe the city and figure out new aspects about it. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ This_“Internet”_camera_is_only_21_years_old—it_should_still work,_right?_Right⠀⇛ One of the errands we ran today was stopping by the storage unit to retrieve the Christmas decorations. While there, I saw a box containing a D-Link DCS- 900W WiFi-enabled Internet camera [1]. I have no recollection of having ever bought it, nor using it. No clue, but I thought it might be fun to play around with it. How hard could it be? For starters, you need Windows to configure the device. The CD (Compact Disc) that came with the device only had two types of files on it—PDF (Portable Document Format)s and Microsoft executables. Undaunted, I figured the device might also some with a web-based interface. Or at least, I hoped it did. Not only did it come with Wi-Fi (and the antenna had definitely seen better days—it was only later when putting it back in the box did it start disintegrating, but I'm getting ahead of myself here), but it came with an Ethernet jack. Easy enough to plug into the “wireless service unit [2].” Then I just had to find it on the network. # ⚓ Too_Many_Tabs⠀⇛ I switch between windows with Super-J/K, or Super- C to switch within a frame. Firefox: Ctrl-Tab. I can also use Shift-J/K since I use tridactyl. Vim: gt/gT to switch tabs, :bn and :bp to switch buffers. Tmux uses Ctrl-b+n/p to switch tabs. Weechat uses Ctrl-n/p to switch chat buffers. There's probably another combo for emacs, but I'm not that advanced of a user yet. # ⚓ Stealth_ships_in_Kinetic_Energy⠀⇛ Regarding Kinetic Energy and space combat, I had decided early on that I didn’t want the lasers and sandcasters from Classic Traveller nor the missiles from Macross. The lasers seemed not to work all the well in or reality, sand seemed way to heavy, and missiles … I just kept wondering how they would work. It didn’t take long, though, and @eldadoinquieto@mastorol.es asked me about missiles and self-propelled projectiles. That made me think about the situation some more. The first argument against missiles I has was about payload and delivery. Missiles can’t correct their path all that much unless they are slow. And if they are fast, then something that’s even faster and works with kinetic energy is going to be better than something that needs thrusters for course correction and explosives. The second argument I had was about the kind of game I wanted run. It’s not obvious to me that having torpedos makes the game more interesting. Unless there’s a need for a kind of U-Boot mini- game. But that’s not how I see ship combat going. @mdhughes@appdot.net argued that the railgun could shoot torpedoes and then the torpedo can course- correct. After all, the space ship drives are already breaking the laws of physics. It really all comes down to the size of these implausible engines. # ⚓ Please_Disclose_AI_Contributions_to_Your_Work⠀⇛ If you're working on a creative project that others will see, such as an online journal like mine, please disclose A.I. contributions to your work. I personally have very little interest in creative works like books, websites, blogs, movies, music, and artwork that was produced by A.I. and I think many people feel similarly. We like getting to know the human(s) behind those works, through their works. We like discovering what motivated them to create it and what experiences they had that went into it. We know that A.I. could produce it a million times faster and better, but the process by which it was created also matters to us. As I said back in my entry "Automation and the Meaning of Work¹", there are certain activities people just don't want to be automated, even if they can be automated and the end product is better by some objective measure. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Semantic_versioning_is_hard;_let's_go_build_a rocket⠀⇛ Wow! I found another bug from the depths of time [1] in mod_blog [2], or rather, CGI (Common Gateway Interface)Lib [3], which mod_blog uses. And again, this goes back right when I first wrote the code, possibly back in the late 1990s. And again, it's amazing that it took me this long (less than an hour ago) to trigger it! =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

This one has been in the making for some time now. It isn't about any particular topic, but the main text derives from an essay written in 1999. Individual words were automatically replaced with other words in a way that preserves the structure but completely destroys the original meaning of the text. Then the text has been translated back and forth across a few languages and manually edited for even less clarity. It used to be more entertaining to engage in these wispering games a few years ago, when the translations rapidly lost contact with reality. Now as translations have improved, texts tend to regress towards a standardised boring mean as rare words and expressions are replaced by more common ones. # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_ABWINSH_Wordo:_OCULI⠀⇛ # ⚓ This_time_it_won't_hurt⠀⇛ My previous post, the one about Beacon Pines, was an experiment; I've just read some writing advice, and wanted to find out empirically what would happen if I tried applying it in practice. # ⚓ Throwing_away_an_advantage_🏁⠀⇛ You have a big car advantage and the constructors' trophy has been won easily.

It's a day filled with flags waving 🇷🇴, warm traditions, and reflections on the country's rich history and culture. # ⚓ The_wrong_time_to_reform_Right_of_First_Refusal_on_blocks of_flats⠀⇛ When the freeholds of blocks of flats are sold in England, their market value is revealed. Nowadays, the pricing information would even be marked on the public record at the Land Registry, but this was not the norm until the 1990s. From 1987, however, the price paid has had to be disclosed to the qualifying owners of the individual flats, and they have the right of first refusal of that price. Even if they can't or won't exercise this right, it provides a price discovery mechanism for the owners of the flats. From 1993 they obtained the right to buy the freehold at a time of their own choosing, rather than reacting to the decision of their landlord to sell at a time of *his* choosing. (I say "his" but the only owners of blocks of flats that I know are actually all women or corporations.) o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ 📻_Introduction_to_Ham_Radio⠀⇛ Ham radio - formally known as amateur radio - is a hobby and service that allows licensed operators to communicate over the air using a wide range of frequencies, modes, and equipment. Unlike commercial or broadcast radio, ham radio is intended for personal experimentation, emergency communication, technical learning, and worldwide friendship. # ⚓ The_Baofeng_UV-5RM_Plus:_My_Upgrade_With_Frequency_Copy Function⠀⇛ I recently upgraded to the Baofeng 5RM after using the classic UV-5R for almost 2 years, and it's a huge step forward. The UV-5R is still a fantastic radio, but the 5RM adds modern features that make it more convenient and versatile. # ⚓ Why_You_Need_a_Tiny_Radio_Like_the_Baofeng_UV-5R⠀⇛ Before you ask: yes, it looks like a toy. Yes, it's cheap enough to make you suspicious. And yes, it absolutely WILL outperform your smartphone the second things get even slightly weird. # ⚓ Playing_with_older_PDAs⠀⇛ Last month I was searching for some accessories for your digital camera (the SONY DSC-W530) and found some other machines instead. I still have some old PDA machines from late 1990s and early 2000s. Actually, I don't remember when I actually used them for the last time. I use my PSION II (a 1980s device) daily but I don't use newer device. I usually have my Nokia 900 available as a spare phone/camera but I only used it to made a few pictures this year. The problem is, of course, that it is now too tiny for my aging eyes (and I'm unable to make it work in the modern HTTPS/SSL world... fo on https:// sites, no e-mail). I have the battery installed in the Nokia 770 (in keeps charge for very long time) but I only turned it on to check if it's still alive (and to read a few some text in the FBReader). # ⚓ HP_200LX_and_WWW⠀⇛ I finally have made one of my HP 200LX machines connected to the Internet! I have got a working NetGear FA411 PCMCIA card so I'm now able to connect my 200LX to hte wired Ethernet. I have been using the LXCic software [1], the mTCP (the DHCP client, the ping and the telnet, for example) and the MicroWeb [3] for the WWW. It's not too hard to set up taht stuff, surprisingly [4]. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ On_Labels⠀⇛ This feature has apparently been added to various sites over the years, often called badges or flairs, and I just wanted to take a detailed look at reasons cited for why this feature is often added, and why I feel the are overall horrible and extremely unethical when used as forms of punishment or a labelling of other people. § The Benefits of Badges Labels and badges can be useful for identifying roles or characteristics about a person that this person wants to share with the world. A good example is that admins have the "admin" badge. Another badge that may be useful is categorizing users in a subspace based on what topics they like to talk about. It can also be used in game subspaces to categorize players into teams. These are good uses of these badges. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Advent_of_Code,_2025⠀⇛ Here is where I’ll post my solutions to Advent of Code using zshbrev.

Unique in its content, it remains a conversation piece half a millennium after it was painted. Having looked at the structure and higher-level reading of this extraordinarily complex triptych, this article completes my account by delving deeper into some of its details, and trying to put this together in a better understanding of its reading and purpose. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-11-20_[Older]_An_ancient_planet smashed_into_Earth._We_now_know_its_origin⠀⇛ # ⚓ Interesting Engineering ☛ Two_early_humans_coexisted_3.5 million_years_ago,_fossil_foot_shows⠀⇛ Researchers could then conclude that 3.5 million years ago, at a “poorly understood time in human evolution,” according to Reuters, two different hominins lived alongside one another, though they did not walk alike. # ⚓ Crooked Timber ☛ Will_Fewer_Kids_mean_Fewer_Scientists*⠀⇛ That is, to maintain the existing number of researchers, around 0.3 per cent of a population of 1 billion would need to be in this active class. Taking account of lab and research assistants, technicians and so on, the proportion might rise to 1 per cent. If all countries in the world achieved the 40 per cent rate of attendance common in rich countries, that would require 2.5 per cent of undergraduates to do science degrees with a third of those going on to graduate study. # ⚓ Alisa Sireneva ☛ Faster_comparison_modulo_α-equivalence⠀⇛ Given a λ-calculus term, suppose we want to find all of its α-equivalent subterms. Terms t1 and t2 are considered α-equivalent (denoted as t1∼t2 in this article) if they are syntactically equal up to a bijection between their bound variables. For example, t1=λx.ax and t2=λy.ay are α-equivalent because the bijection {x↦y} translates t1 to t2, and t1=λx.ax and t2=λx.bx are not α-equivalent because a and b are free in t1 and t2 respectively. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Ben Werdmuller ☛ Knowing_when_to_leave⠀⇛ Knowing when to leave is an important skill. You've got to balance your loyalty, and your long-term career, against the objective facts in any situation. Leaving a project early is not a good idea: it sends a message that you're ready to flake out when times get tough. (In a startup situation, times will get tough.) However, if a project: [...] o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Holographic_Seven-Segment_Clock⠀⇛ Seven-segment displays are one of the most ho-hum ways to display the time. They were cool for a little bit in the 70s, but by now, they’re a little bit old hat. That is, unless you get weird with it. This holographic seven-segment clock from [mosivers] qualifies neatly in that category. # ⚓ Sean Conner ☛ This_“Internet”_camera_is_only_21_years old—it_should_still_work,_right?_Right?⠀⇛ One of the errands we ran today was stopping by the storage unit to retrieve the Christmas decorations. While there, I saw a box containing a D-Link DCS- 900W WiFi-enabled Internet camera. I have no recollection of having ever bought it, nor using it. No clue, but I thought it might be fun to play around with it. How hard could it be? # ⚓ Taranis ☛ Datacenters_in_space_are_a_terrible,_horrible,_no good_idea.⠀⇛ The short version: this is an absolutely terrible idea, and really makes zero sense whatsoever. There are multiple reasons for this, but they all amount to saying that the kind of electronics needed to make a datacenter work, particularly a datacenter deploying AI capacity in the form of GPUs and TPUs, is exactly the opposite of what works in space. If you've not worked specifically in this area before, I'll caution against making gut assumptions, because the reality of making space hardware actually function in space is not necessarily intuitively obvious. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ 2025-11-18_[Older]_Food_Assistance_for All⠀⇛ # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ 2025-11-20_[Older]_How_the_Cheeto_Mussolini Administration_Abandoned_Plans_for_a_Major_Cut_in_Disability Benefits_for_Older_Workers⠀⇛ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older]_The_US_is_fast-tracking_this important_HIV_drug_—_for_everyone_except_South_Africa⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2025-11-18_[Older]_Eswatini_Is the_First_African_Country_to_Get_Twice-Yearly_HIV_Prevention Shot⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2025-11-20_[Older]_Cholera_Cases in_Africa_Surge_to_3_Times_Higher_Than_Reported_in_2022⠀⇛ # ⚓ Small Cypress ☛ five_years_without_alcohol⠀⇛ Every former drinker has a quitting story, and mine is boring. I was driving south on 95 after another 3am family karaoke-until-someone-starts-a-fight Thanksgiving and I realized I was just done. I had quit for stretches before - Dry January etc. - enough to know that life got exponentially better without drinking, but then I would feel guilty about not drinking with my family, or at a wedding, or some other event where I would "let someone down." I was hanging on to drinking to avoid an awkward conversation with someone else about why I wasn't drinking. # ⚓ Barry Hess ☛ No_Socials_November_Fin⠀⇛ It’s been thirty days since I departed socials. (Well, more like forty-five days, but who’s counting?) I must say that I continue to feel good about stepping away. The daily baseline of anxiety that I feel from the big world and the small worlds I live in is much lower than previously. That feels nice, and I plan to stay off socials at least through the end of the year. # ⚓ Ava ☛ the_overstated_importance_of_connectivity⠀⇛ We can see daily that most of us are just not equipped to handle thousands or more people coming at us online. There’s good reasons why famous people used to have a more filtered access to fans via fan mail, interviews, magazines and the occasional meet and greet, plus a PR team and media training. There is a sweet spot when we have relationships to just enough people to be happy without the attention becoming a burden. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Giz China ☛ Some_Windows_11_users_cannot_update_the Microsoft_Defender⠀⇛ Some Windows 11 users are running into a problem with Microsoft Defender. Reports from ITHome say that people using Windows 11 24H2 noticed their virus definitions haven’t updated since November 19, 2025. This is trying to say that their computers might have been open to new viruses and threats. # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ Airbus_Narrows_Software_Crisis as_Airlines_Ride_Out_A320_Recall⠀⇛ Dozens of airlines from Asia to the United States said they had carried out a snap software retrofit ordered by Airbus, and mandated by global regulators, after a vulnerability to solar flares emerged in a recent mid-air incident on a JetBlue A320. But some require a longer process and Colombia's Avianca continued to halt bookings for dates until December 8. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Google_and_Apple_ordered_to_stop_fake government_TXTs⠀⇛ The Ministry of Home Affairs announced it had sent the tech giants Implementation Directives that require them to prevent accounts and group chats from displaying names which spoof “gov.sg” or Singapore Government agencies and also filter such messages. # ⚓ Burk ☛ The_End_of_Personal_Websites._And_why_that_might_be a_good_thing⠀⇛ I used to design websites. For me and some clients. It was a blast to play around with all the ideas I had. Now, I haven’t touched web design in ages. Why? # § Artificial Intelligence (AI) / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Using_AI_to_Find_Information_Could Diminish_Your_Knowledge,_Study_Finds⠀⇛ However, a new paper I co-authored offers experimental evidence that this ease may come at a cost: When people rely on large language models to summarize information on a topic for them, they tend to develop shallower knowledge about it compared to learning through a standard Google search. # ⚓ El País ☛ If_AI_replaces_workers,_should_it_also_pay taxes?⠀⇛ “The trend toward automation and AI could lead to a decrease in tax revenues. In the United States, for example, about 85% of federal tax revenue comes from labor income,” says Sanjay Patnaik, director of the Center for Regulation and Markets at the Brookings Institution. He suggests that governments address “the risks posed by AI” by increasing capital gains taxation rather than creating a specific tax on it, due to the difficulties in designing such a tax and the distortions it could generate. The repeated use of the conditional tense is because the impact of generative AI, the kind capable of creating content on demand, is still uncertain, both in positive terms — improved productivity and economic growth — and negative terms; job losses. # ⚓ Computational Complexity ☛ Computational_Complexity: Does_ChatGPT_really_help_programmers?⠀⇛ Alice who supports developers in industry. She doesn't write code full time now, but she has written plenty before. She thinks that NO, ChatGPT and LLMs DO NOT help programmers. Bob is a friend of a friend who writes code for a living and owns a small software/ database company. He thinks YES, ChatGPT and LLMs DO help programmers. I asked Alice and Bob to discuss the issue over email and make a blog post out of it, or have ChatGPT do it for them. Below is the result. # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ Nicolas Fränkel ☛ My_second_Cloudflare_Tunnel⠀⇛ I decided to stop using Twitter, but for my own content and supporting Ukraine against its barbarian invaders, I understood the contemporary media landscape was quite fragmented. I bet on Mastodon, Bluesky, and LinkedIn. My flow is the following: when I read a piece I find interesting, I schedule it for publication. The problem is that every social media platform has a different scheduler: Mastodon has the Mastodon scheduler, LinkedIn has an in-built feature, and Bluesky has…​ nothing. I had enough. o § Entrapment (Microsoft GitHub)⠀➾ # ⚓ Eldred Habert ☛ GitHub_→_Codeberg:_my_experience⠀⇛ Spoiler alert: this very site that you’re reading this on is not served from GitHub Pages anymore! At this point, I’d call my migration successful. But it took more than clicking a single button, so let’s talk about the steps involved, at least for me. I’m hoping that it can help be an example for other people, and show that it’s actually not that complicated. # ⚓ [Old] Eldred Habert ☛ Migrating_my_code_to_Codeberg⠀⇛ I have decided to move my code repositories from GitHub to Codeberg. This comes following mounting pressure from GitHub pushing AI solutions harder and harder, the ethical and ecological consequences of which I disagree with; partnering with Elon Musk (Grok now being supported); and more. I simply don’t agree with that platform’s policies, and so wish to pull out, as a form of protest as well. And I’ve also decided to put my money where my mouth is: I am now donating to Codeberg as well, because they aren’t assholes and they’re trying to do the right thing. So they deserve it. o § Security⠀➾ # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older] Eurovision_Plans_Changes_to_Voting,_Security_After Allegations_of_Israeli_Government_'Interference'⠀⇛ # ⚓ Cassidy Williams ☛ A_pretty_good_email_scam⠀⇛ But, soon after, he noticed that he wasn’t getting any emails anymore. After getting on a call with him and logging into his account, I noticed that there was email forwarding set up that was very well-hidden. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Alabama Reflector ☛ Homeland_Security_wants_state driver’s_license_data_for_sweeping_citizenship program⠀⇛ The U.S. Department of Homeland Security seeks access to an obscure computer network used by law enforcement agencies, according to a federal notice, potentially allowing officials to bypass negotiating with states for the records. # ⚓ Coyote ☛ osteophage_|_How_Online_Privacy_Has_Been Championed_by_Dreamwidth⠀⇛ If you care about privacy on the web, then you should care about how anti-privacy laws have been challenged by Dreamwidth. Its unique role in these legal battles hasn’t been getting any dedicated press coverage, and so it falls to people like us to spread the word: Dreamwidth is proactively going to court against anti-privacy laws and highlighting itself as a positive example in order to show how these laws are predicated on assumptions that don’t apply. # § Confidentiality⠀➾ # ⚓ Covington & Burling LLP ☛ 2025-11-19_[Older]_Five major_changes_to_the_regulation_of_cybersecurity_in_the UK_under_the_Cyber_Security_and_Resilience_Bill⠀⇛ o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older]_Germany_news:_Bremen's church_bell_recovered_after_heist⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2025-11-19_[Older]_Louvre_Museum to_Add_100_External_Cameras_by_2026_After_Heist_Exposed Security_Flaws⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2025-11-18_[Older]_New_firearms_law_has_grave_implications for_public_safety⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older]_India,_Israel_sign framework_to_resume_trade_talks⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older]_Indian_Air_Force_Tejas jet_crashes_at_Dubai_Air_Show⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Age AU ☛ 2025-11-19_[Older]_‘Increasing_our_military power’:_Ley_throws_down_gauntlet_over_national_security⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older]_Nigeria:_Gunmen_abduct students_from_Catholic_school⠀⇛ # ⚓ Mexico News Daily ☛ 2025-11-17_[Older]_Mass_protest_against insecurity_and_the_Morena_party_turns_violent_in_Mexico City⠀⇛ # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ 2025-11-17_[Older]_Cheeto_Mussolini’s_Proposed Missile_Defense_System_Is_a_Weapon_of_Mass_Insecurity⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Local SE ☛ 2025-11-18_[Older]_IN_STATS:_How_security checks_have_blocked_Swedish_citizenship_awards⠀⇛ # ⚓ HRW ☛ 2025-11-18_[Older]_UN_Security_Council_Should_Resist South_Sudan_Attempt_to_Undermine_Peacekeepers⠀⇛ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ 2025-11-18_[Older]_Charlie Kirk_Security_Chief_Rejects_'Outrageous'_Israel-Mossad Claims:_'I_Am_An_American'⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older]_FAA_Warns_All Pilots_of_Risks_of_Flying_Over_Venezuela_Over_'Worsening Security_Situation'⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2025-11-21_[Older]_How_to_Align_Security_Requirements_and Controls_to_Express_System_Threats⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2025-11-17_[Older]_South_Africa_and_Indonesia_boost_defence ties_in_landmark_state_visit⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Barents Observer ☛ Murmansk_region_lost_10_percent_of its_population_during_the_years_of_full-scale_war⠀⇛ Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the population of the Murmansk region has decreased by 73,000 people. This follows from the official data of Rosstat. As of January 1, 2022, according to officials, 724,500 people lived in the region. By April 2025, just over 650,000 remained. Thus, the Murmansk region, if the statistics are to be believed, has lost 10 percent of its population. # ⚓ The Barents Observer ☛ Bombers_newly_deployed_to_Kola_flew near_Sweden’s_Gotland⠀⇛ Three Tu-22M3 long-range bombers performed a more than five-hour mission from the Kola Peninsula, entering the Baltic Sea air space through the narrow corridor between Finland and Estonia, before turning north again after flying near the island of Gotland. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Lawmakers_Suggest_Follow-Up_Boat_Strike Could_Be_a_War_Crime⠀⇛ A top Republican and Democrats in Congress suggested on Sunday that American military officials might have committed a war crime in President Trump’s offensive against boats in the Caribbean after a news report said that during one such attack, a follow-up strike was ordered to kill survivors. # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ Peter_Thiel’s_Apocalyptic_Worldview_Is_a Dangerous_Fantasy⠀⇛ Peter Thiel recently generated headlines with his rambling diatribes about the Antichrist. Thiel’s lurid, apocalyptic view of world politics may be ludicrous or even deranged, but his wealth and power mean that we can’t afford to ignore it. # ⚓ France24 ☛ World's_arms_makers_post_record_$679_billion_in sales_as_wars_fuel_demand,_output_lags⠀⇛ Sales by the world’s top 100 arms makers hit a record $679 billion last year, up 5.9% as wars in Ukraine and Gaza drove demand, researchers said on Monday, though production bottlenecks slowed deliveries. SIPRI said arms revenues have climbed 26% over the 2015–2024 period. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older]_Funerals:_From_the extraordinary_to_eco-friendly⠀⇛ # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Hindustan Times ☛ ‘Why_is_Bitcoin,_[cryptocurrency] down?’:_Panic_after_sudden_crash;_‘risky_start_to December’⠀⇛ Several investors on Sunday complained about a sudden crash in several cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Dogecoin. “What is Bitcoin down today?” one of them asked on social media. Another one added: “Is there a reason behind this crash?” # ⚓ India Times ☛ Unpacking_India’s_data_centre_boom⠀⇛ Demand for digital infrastructure fuelled by AI and regional data protection laws have unleashed a new wave of investments in India’s data center industry. Global hyperscalers and Indian conglomerates are set to invest more than $50 billion in the next five to seven years in the domestic data centre industry, taking total capacity to about 9 gigawatts (GW) from 1 GW now. # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2025-11-18_[Older] Singapore_Snares_Record_Haul_of_Smuggled_Rhino_Horns From_South_Africa⠀⇛ o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2025-11-24_[Older]_South Africa's_G20_Debt_Focus_to_Be_Tested_as_US_Takes_the_Chair⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2025-11-20_[Older]_South_Africa, EU_Sign_Critical_Minerals_Deal,_Vow_to_Defend Multilateralism⠀⇛ # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ 2025-11-19_[Older]_A_Development_Economist Returns_to_What_He_Left_Behind⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-11-18_[Older]_South_Africa_rises above_US_snub_as_G20_nears⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2025-11-18_[Older]_Africa_Expert Panel_Proposes_a_New_G20_Debt_Refinancing_Initiative⠀⇛ o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older]_India:_Why_is_Supreme Court_dominated_by_upper-caste_Hindus?⠀⇛ # ⚓ India Times ☛ OpenAI_partners_shoulder_nearly_$100_billion debt_to_fund_its_AI_ambitions⠀⇛ OpenAI’s rapid expansion is being financed largely through heavy borrowing by its partners rather than by the company itself. According to the Financial Times, suppliers and data centre operators linked to OpenAI now carry close to $100 billion in debt, even as OpenAI remains mostly debt-free. # ⚓ Vox ☛ Global_progress_on_extreme_poverty_is_stalling_and may_reverse_soon⠀⇛ Roser acknowledges that his projections are not prophecy. Change the growth pattern — through better governance, fewer conflicts, more investment, cheap clean energy, or even dramatically expanded migration opportunities — and the projections change with them. The future of extreme poverty depends on whether the countries where the poorest people live can finally begin to grow. # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ Corporate_social_responsibility_can_act as_an_insurance_policy_when_companies_cut_jobs_and_benefits⠀⇛ For employees, such drastic changes can give rise to a phenomenon known as the "psychological contract breach," a perception that an organization has failed to meet its obligations and promises. "To employees, it could mean that the organization didn't deliver on the promise it has made to them, such as salary increases, reliable benefits, and overall long-term stability of their job," says Assistant Professor Haoying (Howie) Xu, who studies organizational behavior and human resource management at Stevens School of Business. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Databricks_reportedly_in_talks_to_raise_$5B at_$134B_valuation⠀⇛ Data analytics and artificial intelligence company Databricks Inc. is reportedly in talks to raise $5 billion in new funding on a $134 billion valuation. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ The Gray Zone ☛ Files_expose_Britain’s_secret_D-Notice censorship_regime⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Barents Observer ☛ The_new_Russian_[Internet]:_closed, censored,_and_“secure”⠀⇛ Authorities in the Ulyanovsk region have announced the shutdown of mobile [Internet] “until the end of the special military operation.” According to local media, this was stated by the regional government at a press conference. Initially, mobile connections were cut only for short periods during drone attack alerts, but in recent weeks, the [Internet] has been disappearing around the clock across entire districts. # ⚓ The Barents Observer ☛ Diana_Loginova_left_Russia_after_a series_of_arrests⠀⇛ The lead singer of the street band Stoptime, Diana Loginova (Naoko), left Russia on the night of 23 November, immediately after being released from the detention centre. The band's guitarist, Aleksandr Orlov, is also out of the country after the end of his third administrative arrest, but his lawyer refrained from commenting on his departure. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Michigan Advance ☛ The_Henry_Ford_offering_free_admission exhibit_marking_70th_anniversary_of_Bus_Boycott⠀⇛ The Henry Ford Museum will offer free admission and free parking on December 1 to honor the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks’ brave choice to stay seated on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. The moment became one of the most important events in the Civil Rights movement of the mid-20th Century. # ⚓ HRW ☛ 2025-11-20_[Older]_Egypt:_African_Commission_Should Act_to_Protect_Rights⠀⇛ # ⚓ HRW ☛ 2025-11-20_[Older]_Dominican_Republic:_Court_Ends Security_Forces_Gay_Sex_Ban⠀⇛ # ⚓ HRW ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older]_EU-AU:_Make_Rights_a_Priority_at Europe-Africa_Summit⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older]_G20:_South_Africa_hosts summit_in_shadow_of_US_boycott⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older]_China_Warns Citizens_Risk_Becoming_'Mining_Slaves'_in_Central_African Republic_Gold_Rush⠀⇛ § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Pirate_IPTV_Box_Evades_Blocking_But_is_Also Critically_Vulnerable_to_Attack⠀⇛ Following Amazon's announcement that it won't allow the new Firestick to become a piracy free-for-all, some people are seeking out new devices to bridge the gap. Offering lifetime access to movies, TV shows and live sports, an already popular device that claims to evade site-blocking measures may seem like the perfect fit. Unfortunately, mandatory free extras include critical security issues and potential exposure to copyright lawsuits. * An_Almost-Depressing_Lack_of_Reliable_News_Sites * Gemini_Links_01/12/2025:_Loon_Pond_Meditation,_Too_Many_Tabs,_and Disclosing_(Mis)Use_of_Slop ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4160 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Links 01/12/2025: National News About Politics, Economics, and Civil Rights⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 01, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Australian_brush_turkey_foraging_through_a_detailed_black and_white_illustration_of_a_dense_forest_floor_with_ferns_and_fallen_leaves, depicting_wildlife_and_nature⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Leftovers o Career/Education o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Proprietary #

The move may impact the around 190,000 Afghans who were evacuated by Washington during Operation Allies Welcome and Operation Enduring Welcome, Beth Bailey, host of The Afghanistan Project Podcast. Bailey added that those most likely to be affected by the decision are the "125,000 Afghans who are still attempting to get an SIV, Special Immigrant Visas, or the 85,000 individuals who are in the US refugee admissions programme and are overseas waiting for help." # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2025-11-22_[Older]_US,_China Held_Maritime_Security_Talks_in_Hawaii,_Chinese_Navy_Says⠀⇛ # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ LRT ☛ Weather-driven_smuggling:_how_wind_patterns dictate_contraband_flows⠀⇛ According to meteorologist Andrius Laurynaitis, the scale of smuggler balloon incursions generally depends on weather conditions – wind direction and speed.

But there are even more esoteric drones out there that are far more experimental and use even more bizarre wing designs that look like they shouldn’t be able to fly at all. Take [Starsistor]’s latest design, which uses a single motor and an unconventional single off-center wing to generate lift. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Malaysia_PM_Anwar_launches Perodua’s_first_EV_with_445km_range⠀⇛ The car includes safety features, such as a child presence detection system. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older]_Divisive_fossil fuel_road_map_scrapped_in_latest_COP30_text⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older]_COP30:_Summit struggles_to_reach_fossil_fuel_phase_out_deal⠀⇛ # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older]_Teachers_were_'heroes'_in protecting_students_from_grizzly_attack_on_B.C.'s Central_Coast,_officials_say⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2025-11-21_[Older]_Sow_and_2_cubs_likely involved_in_grizzly_attack_on_B.C._school_group: conservation_officer⠀⇛ # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ 'Vampire_Squid_From_Hell'_Reveals_The Ancient_Origins_of_Octopuses⠀⇛ The roots go very deep. # ⚓ Mexico News Daily ☛ The_hunt_for_Mexico’s_rarest_bird —_that_might_not_even_exist⠀⇛ The Imperial woodpecker may well be extinct, since one hasn't been sighted since 1956.
