That wasn't an accident, nor was it deliberate. We're a week away from Christmas Day and some people already go - at least partially (or 'mentally' - a state of mind) - on holiday. We don't want good EPO material to "go to waste" and we'd rather cover the EPO when more people pay closer attention. We want our publications to motivate action/s. In short, we didn't forget about the EPO. We've got enough 'spare' material for months_to_come, but we reserve some of it for strategic purposes. We'd like to think 2026 will be a "year of reckoning" for the_"Mafia". Industrial action/s would help; if you are a dissatisfied EPO insider, please join every such action. Some will commence_soon (mandate secured). █ * Slop_Fatigue * Running_Our_Own_Network_and_Building_Our_Own_Systems ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣦⣄⣀⡀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣷⣶⣤⣤⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣦⡄⠈⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠛ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣀⣴⣶⣀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠏⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⠉⠉⠉⣡⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣠⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠗⠛⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉ ⠀⠉⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠛⠛⣉⣈⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⡀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠋⠉⠉⠉⠈⠉⠁⠀⢀⠤⠀⢛⠿⠛⠉⢁⠛⡏⠙⠻⠋⠀⠰⠾⠿⠛⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣈⣁⠒⠂⠀⠀⢀⡈⠉⠛⢿⣿⡿⠟⠁⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠴⠄⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⣽⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⠀⠀⠀⠤⠄⠀⢸⣴⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⢀⣀⣈⣉⣉⣤ ⢾⠉⢛⡛⠻⢦⣄⢀⣤⡌⢀⠀⠉⠙⠆⠀⠀⣀⣤⠤⠤⠤⢤⡀⣦⣴⣦⠀⣾⡇⠘⡆⢠⡇⣸⡇⠀⢸⡏⡄⠀⠀⡸⠾⢸⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠖⠉⠀⠒⠒⠘⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⣿⣿⣧⣤⢤⣿⡧ ⣿⣀⢸⣇⠈⢸⣋⡘⠀⠌⠀⣾⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⣾⣿⣤⡤⡤⢼⣇⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⡟⠻⡟⢿⡟⢻⡇⠀⣀⣘⢹⡋⠋⠉⠀⠈⣧⠀⢤⠀⠄⢀⢸⠃⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢙⣿⡇⣀⢀⠙⢃ ⣿⣁⣼⡏⠀⢼⣿⣷⣶⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⢿⡗⡇⢙⡇⠀⠿⡅⠀⠇⠈⡇⠸⡇⠀⡇⠀⠈⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⢻⠀⢸⠀⠀⠓⠃⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⡀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼ ⠄⠈⠁⠀⠈⠉⠀⣸⣿⣤⣤⣍⢀⣀⣀⣰⡆⣿⠋⠠⠤⠤⢼⢠⣧⣜⣧⣴⠄⠀⠀⠸⢼⡤⠄⠁⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠈⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⡴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⢺⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠛⠛⠛⠘⢳⣶⣶⣿⡟⠒⠒⣤⠀⠀⡀⣽⣷⣿⡇⠒⣂⣒⣒⣀⣛⣻⣟⣃⣀⣀⡀⣄⣨⣤⣤⣄⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠔⢰⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠇⠠⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣶⡆⠀⠀⣿⡂⠀⠀⣵⠌⠿⠓⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⣋⠉⠈⠉⢉⠉⢉⡉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⡛⠚⠀⠀⠐⠁⠑⠀⠀⠉⢀⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⠤⠄⣰⣱⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣄⣠⣀⣀⣀⣀⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⠀⠀⠱⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⣀⣀⡀⠀ ⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣫⣯⣭⣭⣽⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⡉⠙⠛⠿⠛⠿⠟⢻⣻⡿⠿⣿⢿⠿⢿⡿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠁⠐⠒⠒⠒⠒⠀⠀⠄⠀⣀⣐⠦⠤⢤⣍⣉⣀⣈⠛⠉⠀⠐⠐⢠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠡⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣏⡿⣿⢿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠟⠛⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠈⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⢉⡿⠿⡟⠓⠊⠁⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠟ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⠉⠉⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣴⡖⣒⠀⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡠⠾⠛⠻⢿⠤⠂⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠘⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠋⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣴⡶⠿⠛⠛⠋⠉⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠽⠂⠐⡀⠀⡆⠰⠏⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡶⠄⠊⠋⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠀⠁⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠒⠦⠀⣀⣤⠄⠀⢀⡀⢌ ⣀⣀⣠⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⡿⡉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠄⠐⣫⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⡀⣁⠀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠤⠶⠝ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠠⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠒⠂⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⣀⠤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣛⣟⣻⠿⠿⢡⣤⣾⢙⡳⢾⡛ ⠉⠀⠀⠀⣀⡠⠄⠐⠂⠁⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣤⣶⣼⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠾⠟⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣵⡟⣿⣿⠿⢻⡖⢐⠢⠌⠉⢉⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣤⣤⣦⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠙⠲⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠤⠒⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣟⡾⢿⣿⠆⣰⣖⣢⡄⠀⢁⣈⠀ ⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠋⢁⣀⡤⠄⡂⠀⢀⣠⣤⣴⠞⣛⣛⠻⣿⣿⡿⠛⠙⢿⣿⠟⠉⣁⣠⣴⣆⠀⠀⠀⠐⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢩⣿⣽⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣳⣴⠏⢩⣍⣛⡻⠛⠿⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 140 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/18/Free_Software_Literature_Books_to_Read_This_Holiday_Season.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/18/Free_Software_Literature_Books_to_Read_This_Holiday_Season.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free Software Literature (Books) to Read This Holiday Season⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 18, 2025 Foreword by Jacob Appelbaum 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇A_book_written_by_Richard_Stallman_a_few_years_back⦈_ Holidays are almost upon us in Europe and many will_rest, some_will_'binge'_on blogs or read books.

Many People (Millions) Still Use It Because Windows Became Bloated and Unreliable⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 18, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Sunny_summer_morning⦈_ The "Vista" OSes are all terrible, bloated, and highly restrictive If you thought Windows XP was gone for good, you'd be wrong. Found in hidden or 'suppressed' - from public sight - places (not always disconnected from the Internet), Windows XP still appears here and there, sometimes tied to some equipment that would need to be RE-purchased (anew) for a newer version of Windows (or some other operating system). In some cases, for specialised equipment, this can cost as much as $100,000 per unit! So there are still_millions_of_machines_worldwide_running_Windows_XP. If they used GNU/Linux, upgrades would be free and likely backward-compatible. But you see, after Windows XP came Vista and then Vista 7 ("corrective" version of the same) and so on. Windows became so highly bloated that some of the "Windows XP PCs" would simply not manage to cope with a newer version. Also, a later version would also be out of support, so what problem is being solved? Therein lies another cautionary tale about adoption of proprietary operating systems, including Windows. █ * Running_Our_Own_Network_and_Building_Our_Own_Systems * Free_Software_Literature_(Books)_to_Read_This_Holiday_Season ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠟⠿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⢿⣿⠿⣿⡿⢿⡿⠟⠙⠉⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⠿⠿⠻⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠈⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⢤⠋⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠈⠛⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠛⠻⠿⠿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠛⠟⠛⢻⠛⠛⠉⠉⠉⠉⠋⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⣀⡀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢹⣿⣿⣿⡧⠿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣄⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣖⣒⣶⣶⣶⣛⣛⣳⠶⠚⠒⣛⠉⠉⡀⣀⣀⣤ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠋⠀⣀⣀⣠⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠿⣿⣿⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⡛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣓⡮⢙⣷⣾⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠛⢪⣙⣈⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣬⣵⣢⣬⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣷⣶⣷⣶⣦⣤⡤⠀⣀⣲⣴⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣤⣽⣿⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣼⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣷ ⢿⡟⢛⢻⣿⡿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⡛⣟⣻⣛⣁ ⠶⣶⣒⣻⣿⣟⣿⣿⢿⢟⣛⡻⢟⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⡿⢿⣿⣻⣯⣟⣛⣯⣩⣽⣛⣩⣭⡛⣶⣼⣮⣿⣾⡿⠻⠟⡻⡹⠏⣿⣉⣃⡡⠐⠨⠁⠴⠮⢽⣿⡿ ⠋⠏⠁⠉⠁⢼⠙⠜⣾⠿⣧⢷⣴⣵⣛⣯⣯⣭⣽⣿⣟⣿⣾⣻⡭⠛⠿⠿⣾⣿⣏⠻⠿⣟⠛⢿⢼⡶⣯⠯⣿⣛⣾⣽⣵⣤⣮⣴⣾⢿⢽⣿⣿⣽⠿⠿⠿⢯⣄⣐⡒⠐⠈⠙⠀⠮⠍⠆⠀⠶⠀⡀⠀⠀⣄⠠⠡⢿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 757 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/18/Over_at_Tux_Machines.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/18/Over_at_Tux_Machines.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Over at Tux Machines...⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 18, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Cormorant_with_wings_spread⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ 1. ⚓ New_Low_for_Microsoft_Windows_in_Slovakia [original]⠀⇛ Windows falling to all-time lows 2. ⚓ Firefox_DRM:_Proprietary_Software_Downloaded,_How_Long_Before_the_"AI" Company_(Mozilla)_Puts_It_There_by_Default?

He came to our network to express interest and we, in exchange, expressed gratitude for his work. We had also tried to contribute back some changes/enhancements. Our network remains loved by Free software people (many wishes - good wishes - sent to me there yesterday) and loathed by Microsofters, who have long tried to derail it - to_the_point_of_sending_us_close_to_60_kilograms_of_legal_papers over_some_IRC_dispute. The Microsoft_pedophile had the audacity to come to our IRC channels and demand that we ban some people; that was before he got arrested for raping children.

So that means it's now widely understood or broadly recognised (people know what you mean when you say "slop"). We used to say "chaff" and all sorts of other things (I sort of 'coined' the "hey hi" joke nearly half a decade ago while crossing the road; Microsoft was already fabricating the "AI" thing way back then, it even ran ads that said "AI"). Today, as I checked my RSS feeds, I only found one single example of slop. It's from Slashdot Media, which bought Linux Journal only to (eventually) turn it into a slopfarm. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Slop_or_fake:_Top_Linux_Distributions_for_Beginners: Friendly,_Stable,_and_Easy_to_Learn⦈_ Slopwatch seems dead already. I very much doubt there will ever (again) be enough material for a whole installment unless it becomes a weekly thing (rarer occurrence, not daily). There are many signs out there - even reports from established and reputable sites - saying that "AI" (as they call it) usage is declining and businesses realise_it_won't_be_getting_any_better. Companies like IBM/Red Hat try to impose it on staff [1, 2], but this is wishful thinking, one might say desperate acts by companies that try to somehow fulfil their own prophecies. People are pushing back against slop in codebases and against sites that use any kind of slop. Remember UbuntuPIT? It remains_practically_dead (online but not active) after its experiments with LLM slop. The same will happen to Linux Journal. Just you wait and watch! LinuxSecurity, another slopfarm, is already_on_its_last_foot. The Serial Slopper Brian Fagioli is just pumping out slop about slop (yes, recursive nonsense). █ * Over_at_Tux_Machines... * EPO_Coverage_Will_Resume_When_the_Time_is_Right

Brand_"XBox"_Means_Just_an_Online_"Games_Store"_or_Streaming) The brand "XBox" might not die, but the_project_or_the_product_(or_line_of products)_will. Microsoft will then recycle the brand to refer to something else completely. We saw this before, e.g. with "Surface". Consider the latest_news_about_layoffs (many in XBox already brace for another massive_wave with a_belated_unionisation_drive). 2026 might be the last year of XBox consoles. Already, in 2025, many major retailers have stopped stocking these. GAFAM in general is having a terrible month [3] and Apple too has mass layoffs, aside from a mass exodus of executives. █ Related/contextual items from the news: 1. ⚓ Xbox_Series_sales_down_-70%_in_US_as_Microsoft_teases_new_Xbox_PC hybrid⠀⇛ November 2025 saw the worst US console sales in 20 years, with Xbox Series sales dropping 70% year-over-year amid economic pressures and production cuts. Rumors of a next-gen Xbox PC hybrid system, aiming for higher profit margins, may be causing consumers to delay purchases ahead of a 2026 announcement. The recent reports of an incoming Xbox PC hybrid system may be affecting current-gen Xbox console sales, at least in the United States. 2. ⚓ Forza_Motorsport_Developer_Says_Servers_Will_Remain_Online,_But_Don't Expect_Any_More_Cars,_Tracks,_Features_or_Regular_Bug_Fixes_Following Layoffs [Ed: Death_by_Microsoft]⠀⇛ Forza Motorsport developer Turn 10 Studios has confirmed the end of new content development for the game, following layoffs at the company this summer. 3. ⚓ Amazon_announces_biggest_ever_layoffs_at_its_European_headquarters; these_employees_affected_the_most⠀⇛ Amazon will cut 370 jobs at its European headquarters in Luxembourg in the coming weeks, marking the company's largest- ever workforce reduction at the facility. The layoffs represent about 8.5% of the 4,370 employees based there and follow the tech giant's October announcement of 14,000 global job cuts amid its push toward artificial intelligence. * Free_Software_Literature_(Books)_to_Read_This_Holiday_Season * Links_18/12/2025:_ZorinOS_Raising_Money,_Canonical_Giving_Gifts_to Microsoft ⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢠⠒⣩⣤⡶⢋⣩⣵⢀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⠀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠘⢢⠋⣿⡸⢻⣿⠉⠈⢲⢰⢺⢰⠒⡆⡦⢂⡐⠤⢂⡐⢼⠸⢊⠗⡆⣖⢓⣀⢢⠒⡆⡖⢰⢂⢐⢢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⢐⠄⠀⠀ ⠀⢸⠂⣽⡧⠸⣿⠀⠀⠸⡸⠸⢌⣀⡡⠷⢄⡰⠱⢌⣁⡸⡰⢌⠆⢇⠟⠌⣈⠜⢄⡡⣁⠼⡸⠸⡸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠑⠀⠀ ⠀⠈⠑⠋⠣⠼⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤ ⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⡿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⢿⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⠿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⣙⣿⣿⣿⣧⣦⣧⣶⣥⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣴⣤⣿⣤⣼⣧⣦⣴⣮⣿⣮⣿⣬⣥⣧⣧⣤⣿⣴⣿⣽⣿⣿⣷⣥⣧⣽⣤⣼⣴⣾⣽⣿⣿⣷⣥⣿⣤⣧⣼⣧⣼⣇⣿⣿⣿⣧⣧⣼⣦⣧⣿⣿⣿⣧⣾⣴⣧⣷⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⢟⡛⠛⢻⡛⢻⠛⠛⠛⢟⣟⠋⢛⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⢟⠿⠛⣿⡻⣿⣿⣿⣟⢿⠻⠛⢻⢻⠻⢻⣟⢻⢻⠟⢻⡛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⠟⡻⣿⣿⣿⢻⢻⢻⠛⡟⡻⣿⣿⣿⣻⠟⠟⡟⠛⣛⢻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣫⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣻⣽⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⣯⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⡻⠿⠿⡿⠻⣛⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⡟⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⡿⡿⢿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢟⣫⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣶⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣾⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⢿⣻⣽⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⠻⢻⠻⢿⡿⢿⢿⢿⡿⣛⣿⠿⡿⢿⢻⠿⣿⠿⣿⡿⢿⠿⢿⢻⠿⣿⠿⣿⡿⠟⡿⢿⢿⢋⢀⠠⢿⣿⣿⣛⢻⢟⢻⠟⡿⣻⣿⢻⠿⢿⡟⣿⢻⢟⣻⣿⠿⣿⠿⠿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⣵⣹⣘⣸⣜⣼⣡⣻⣯⣒⣥⣒⣆⣿⣠⣒⣶⣊⣿⣖⣹⣙⣸⣰⣐⣶⣊⣿⣌⣇⣌⣣⣎⣎⣼⣸⣸⣷⣶⣋⣾⣜⣴⣟⣽⣪⣿⣸⣸⣸⣷⣙⣼⠕⣊⣻⣩⣰⣂⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡟⠻⠟⠻⡿⠿⡿⠿⠿⡿⡿⡿⠿⡟⡛⣿⡟⡿⠿⡿⡿⡿⡿⡿⢿⢿⢿⡿⠿⠿⠿⡿⡿⡿⣿⡛⢟⡟⠿⡿⠿⡿⢿⣿⢛⢻⢛⡛⢿⠛⢯⢽⢷⠺⢿⠿⡿⡿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣧⣧⣤⣤⣧⣭⣧⣧⣭⣦⣦⣧⣥⣧⣧⣽⣧⣧⣤⣧⣦⣧⣦⣤⣴⣵⣼⣧⣿⣤⣤⣶⣴⣵⣿⣥⣮⣧⣥⣧⡥⠃⠸⣛⣤⣼⣤⣭⣿⣼⣧⣇⣼⣬⣴⣼⣧⣮⣥⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣶⢶⢶⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣾⣼⣿⣴⣼⣷⣯⣿⣾⣿⣷⣼⣽⣷⣾⣿⣦⣼⣿⣷⣿⣿⣧⣤⣿⣿⣧⣼⣷⣾⣿⣤⣿⣵⣦⣿⣿⣯⣧⣿⣾⣽⣧⣼⣿⣤⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣤⣼⣷⣼⣿⣾⣿⣴⣿⣶⣮⣿⣧⣮⣿⣧⣾⣭⣷⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡟⣿⡟⢻⣿⣿⢻⣿⠛⣿⣟⢿⣿⠛⣿⢟⣿⣟⠛⣿⣟⢛⢿⣿⠙⣿⡟⣻⣿⣛⢿⢟⢛⢿⣿⠋⡻⣿⡋⢻⢛⠿⣿⣛⣿⡟⡻⣿⡟⣿⣛⢿⢟⣿⡛⡿⣿⡛⢻⣿⠹⣻⡟⣻⣟⣻⣿⡟⣻⣯⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣧⣿⣧⣮⣿⣷⣬⣿⣾⣽⣷⣼⣿⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠒⠛⠿⠿⠛⠓⠂⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⡖⠀⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⣶⠶⠶⣶⣤⡀⠐⢶⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⡖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣦⠄⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣧⡀⠀⢠⣾⠏⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⡆⠀⣴⡟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣆⠈⢻⣦⡀⠀⢠⣾⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⢀⣄⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢷⣴⡿⠁⠀⢀⣀⣿⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⡿⠃⢰⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⡀⠀⠙⣷⣴⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡿⠁⢀⣴⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⢻⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⠿⣦⡀⠀⠛⠛⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⢷⡄⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠇⠀⢀⣾⢿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⠁⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡿⠃⠀⠙⣷⡄⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⠈⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⡿⠀⣰⡿⠁⠀⠙⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣼⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣦⠀⣿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⠿⠃⠀⠈⠻⣷⣤⣤⣤⣤⡾⠟⢀⣾⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠙⠛⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1455 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Gemini Links 18/12/2025: Fake Dynamic rendering Site and Connectivity in a Digital Age⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 18, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Little_boy_could_not_resist_this_yummy_bread_(originally brought_for_ducks_in_park)⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Politics_and_World_Events o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ 🖼️_xkcd_—_Telescope_Types_#3182⠀⇛ # ⚓ Chena_Hot_Spring_Resort_Stargazing_Report⠀⇛ This last weekend (December 14 and 15) my wife and I took an overnight trip to Chena Hot Springs Resort, using the money we normally would have spent on Christmas presents for each other. It is fortunate that we live so close to the resort, considering that many people travel thousands of miles to stay there. Not that there is nothing about the resort to criticize. But it is great to have a nice natural hot springs and resort only about 60 miles away, whereas even a visit to Anchorage is over 300 miles away, and a trip out of state is thousands of miles. The weather was quite cold, at a balmy -37 ℉. One can still enjoy the outdoor hot springs pool at this temperature, though you have to be careful how you go about it. In particular, you need to wear a hat, and to avoid getting your head wet. It is tempting to stick your head into the water to stay warm, but as soon as you come up for air, your hair and face will transform into a block of icicles. But if you keep your head dry, and wear a hat, the hot water will keep your body warm enough overall. # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding_—_BCIKNSU_Wordo:_PEONY⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2025_Highlights⠀⇛ o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Follow_Up:_I_really_tried_to_understand_"wokeness"⠀⇛ I got a question from Ben Collver to my post "I really tried to understand wokeness"[1]. It was an objective and not unfriendly email, asking me, what things I did "try" (to cite myself) to understand "wokeness" But it seemed to me to be a very practical question to what is a mental process: the formation of opinions. And I wrote a post in March 2024 in which I wrote about my intention to change[2]. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Don't_call_it_a_"Zoom_meeting"⠀⇛ The main problem is that when you use the term "Zoom meeting" to mean "online meeting", you're giving too much power to Zoom, as if it's the only way of having a proper online meeting. What's wrong with that? That makes competition harder and brings all of us toward a monopoly. Monopolies harm our freedoms. Even if you think that Zoom is the best online meeting platform ever, you still shouldn't replace the term "online meeting" with "Zoom meeting", just to make sure Zoom remains as good as you think it is. # ⚓ Fake_dynamic_rendering_site⠀⇛ Lots of modern website are using js to render their website dynamically at the client's browser, it's cool to have a single-page- responsive-webapps (I wrote one of them myself and I'll never do it again.) but I don't like that they use js for EVERYTHING, it make sites that show only some texts and images show nothing when I disable js, not just that, 90% of code that they send to my browser are unreadable. # ⚓ Connectivity_in_a_Digital_Age⠀⇛ In a world where most of our conversations are filtered through entertainment platforms and content feeds, it’s easy to feel like genuine connection is slipping away. Many of us notice that what used to be simple, direct communication now feels more like a performance or a broadcast. This shift can leave us feeling isolated, especially if we value deeper, more intentional exchanges. The divide between generations only adds to this sense of disconnect. Older and younger people often have very different expectations about how to communicate, which can lead to misunderstandings and frustration on both sides. It’s not just about the tools we use, but about the assumptions we bring to every interaction. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

However, with this transformation comes a complex challenge: Monitoring and managing these highly dynamic environments, especially under the pressure of massive volumes of data. o ⚓ [Repeat] Jussi Pakkanen ☛ An_Appeal_from_the_United_Federation_of Dictators,_Despots,_Evil_Emperors_and_Tyrants⠀⇛ Thus we come to the core of this declaration. While we feel that social media, AI, cell phones and other technological tools of totalitarianism are useful and mandatory for the modern dictator, their use has spread too far. They destroy too many of the things we hold dear. There are things too important to be left to the whims of plebs who neither care nor understand what they are supposed to be doing. Thus we will be specifying a list of occupations and tasks where the use of these tools shall be prohibited and we encourage all totalitarian countries to do the same. As dictatorships are not, by definition, under free market pressure to maximize profit regardless of consequences, we have the luxury of being able to invest sensibly. That is how we win. Of course we would prefer not to have to resort to these measures, but given the current geopolitical situation, it is necessary. o ⚓ Michael Gale ☛ My_favourite_tool_|_Michael_Gale⠀⇛ Like the best camera is the one you have with you, the best tool is the one you actually use, and sometimes that means grabbing a piece of junk that was destined for the trash. o ⚓ Matt Birchler ☛ Times_New_Roman,_Calibri,_and_who_accessibility is_for_(hint:_all_of_us)⠀⇛ In what might be a first for the platform, Jonathan Hoefler posted an insightful thread on Threads about a topic in which he is an expert and didn't make it vapid engagement bait. It's about the Times New Roman vs Calibri debate and how asinine basically all of it is, but it ends with this bit that I love: [...] o ⚓ Computational Complexity ☛ Computational_Complexity:_A_Place_Away From_Tech⠀⇛ The building is so low tech, it has the last remaining manually operated elevators in the city. It's not that everyone is anti-technology. Most studios have a computer to keep up with finances, emails, web pages and social media. But that's tech in the background. In a world focused on technology, nice to see a building in Chicago devoted to those who still create in a magical place that stands the test of time. o ⚓ Ben Congdon ☛ What_Are_You_Trying_to_Say?⠀⇛ One virtue I’ve come to value in writing is simplicity. That is, writing in a way that can be understood while minimizing the cognitive load on the reader. I find this virtue most useful in technical design proposals, where there is a high premium on saying precisely what you mean with minimal overhead. o ⚓ Major Hayden ☛ Becomingly_differently_social⠀⇛ Social media caught my attention in early 2008. A coworker finally convinced me to create a Ex-Twitter account and I had no idea what it was. Over the years, I found various types of social control media useful for different purposes. Learning. Connecting. Sharing. It felt like being connected to the world in a way I never had before. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ Former_NIH_scientist_sues_Trump administration,_claims_illegal_firing_over_research_cuts⠀⇛ The NIH has cut billions of dollars in research projects since President Donald Trump took office in January, bypassing the usual scientific funding process. The cuts included clinical trials testing treatments for cancer, brain diseases and other health problems that a recent report said impacted over 74,000 people enrolled in the experiments. # ⚓ LabX Media Group ☛ Scientists_Share_Insights_on_How_to Improve_Academic_Research⠀⇛ Academic researchers become experts in their fields through years of hard work and dedication. However, academia and the research community at large are constantly evolving, sometimes calling for changes to longstanding traditions and other times leaving seasoned scientists in uncharted territory. From publishing highs and lows to rethinking how to succeed in academia, explore the many facets of institutional research and how academics hope to improve it. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Chronicle Of Higher Education ☛ A_Regional_College's Enrollment_Bet_Worked._Or_Did_It?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Jim Mitchell ☛ Failure⠀⇛ You’ve no doubt heard at some point in your life that failure is not an option. There are times this holds true; when someone’s life depends on it, or maybe if there’s a huge sum of money on the line. Maybe… But I think there are times failure should be the only option. Failure can be one of the best teachers we have – as long as we’re willing to listen to her lessons. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Too_thin_to_buy?_Why_ultraslim_phones from_Samsung,_Fashion_Company_Apple_aren’t_selling_in_South Korea⠀⇛ There is growing evidence that both ultraslim flagships have underperformed in sales in South Korea. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ New_calculator_helps_evaluate_the economics_of_datacenters_in_space_—_running_the_numbers_on orbital_computing_reveals_a_brutal_reality⠀⇛ Even though McCalip's analysis already puts the kibosh on the financial side, Andrew Côté's exceedingly deep dive into the engineering difficulties faced by such an enterprise delivers the killing blow. That's also an excellent read , as the list of things that can go wrong with setting up a datacenter in space can be reasonably summed up with "yes." Did you know, for example, that AI accelerators tend to up and die a lot when used at full tilt, and can't exactly be replaced in 5 minutes in space? # ⚓ Pete Brown ☛ New_mechanical_pencil!⠀⇛ I have been saying for a few years now how I wish there were a mechanical pencil that combined the heft and feel of a Rotring with the Uni Kuru Toga’s lead-turning mechanism. I have tried a bunch of different models, but had not been able to find one that fit the bill. And that was fine, because the Rotring and the Kuru Toga are both great pencils as they are. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Mark Hysted ☛ things_I_might_dump_in_2026⠀⇛ A list of things I might dump in 2026: [...] o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Google_removes_unified_pricing_rules_that hit_publisher_ad_yield⠀⇛ Google has reintroduced the ability for publishers to set different ad pricing on its products for the first time in more than six years. Publishers used to be able to choose to set higher price floors on Google than they did for non-Google programmatic advertising. # ⚓ Dark Reading ☛ Critical_Fortinet_Flaws_Under_Active Attack⠀⇛ The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added a recently disclosed security flaw affecting multiple Fortinet network security and management platforms to its known exploited vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. # ⚓ TidBITS ☛ Compromised_Apple_Gift_Card_Leads_to_Apple Account_Lockout_-_TidBITS⠀⇛ Buttfield-Addison’s Kafkaesque situation has been covered by numerous sites, including Daring Fireball, AppleInsider, Michael Tsai, Pixel Envy, and The Register, so I had expected that escalation from his friends within Apple and the negative press attention would be sufficient to cause Apple’s Executive Relations team (which handles serious issues sent to [email protected]) to resolve it quickly. Although someone from Executive Relations contacted him on 14 December 2025 and said they would call back the next day, it has now been three days with no further contact. # ⚓ William ☛ Yep,_Passkeys_Still_Have_Problems⠀⇛ It's now late into 2025, and just over a year since I wrote my last post on Passkeys. The prevailing dialogue that I see from thought leaders is "addressing common misconceptions" around Passkeys, the implication being that "you just don't understand it correctly" if you have doubts. Clearly I don't understand Passkeys in that case. And yet, I am here to once again say - yep, it's 2025 and Passkeys still have all the issues I've mentioned before, and a few new ones I've learnt! Let's round up the year together then. # § Artificial Intelligence (AI) / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ [Repeat] Futurism ☛ Liberals_Are_Falling_for Extremely_Obvious_AI_Fakes⠀⇛ Even if you don’t trust the view count, it’s hard to dismiss the nearly 100,000 likes and 6,000 comments on the post, which ranged from sarcastic missives about Trump’s health to angry rants about his policies. The post, uploaded by Democrat Party strategist Keith Edwards, was clearly meant as a jab at Trump’s executive order meant to halt all AI regulation at the state level. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Joe_Rogan_Keeps_Playing_AI-Generated_Music for_Guests,_But_He's_Speechless_When_One_of_Them_Points Out_That_Podcasts_Can_Be_AI-Generated_Too⠀⇛ Sackhoff grinned. “It’s also making some great podcasts,” she countered. Rogan’s rambling stopped dead in its tracks. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ AI_Sends_School_Into_Lockdown_After_It Mistook_a_Student’s_Clarinet_for_a_Gun⠀⇛ The whole thing unraveled quickly, according to local reporting. When the alert went out, it triggered an automatic “code red,” giving administrators no choice but to react to the AI system’s decision. # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ The_Year_in_Slop⠀⇛ The Turing test, a long-established tool for measuring machine intelligence, gauges the point at which a text-generating machine can fool a human into thinking it’s not a robot. ChatGPT passed that benchmark earlier this year, inaugurating a new technological era, though not necessarily one of superhuman intelligence. More recently, however, artificial intelligence passed another threshold, a kind of Turing test for the eye: the images and videos that A.I. can produce are now sometimes indistinguishable from real ones. As new, image-friendly models were trained, refined, and released by companies including OpenAI, Meta, and Google, the online public gained the ability to instantly generate realistic A.I. content on any theme they could imagine, from superhero fan art and cute animals to scenes of violence and war. “Slop,” the term of (not) art for content churned out with A.I., became ubiquitous in 2025, inspiring new sub- coinages such as “slopper,” derogatory shorthand for someone who relies on A.I. to think for them. Slop went beyond the realms of surreal amusement or frivolous entertainment; the relatively anodyne days of bizarre, obviously fake “Shrimp Jesus” images in Facebook feeds are gone. In 2025, the President of the United States relied on A.I. “agitslop” to promote his policies and taunt his detractors, and other politicians followed suit. Sam Altman, the C.E.O. of OpenAI, became a kind of omnipresent mascot on Sora, his own company’s social-media feed of slop. Not all of the content was convincing, but a lot of it came close enough—and, in our increasingly audiovisual digital world, that may turn out to represent a more significant Rubicon than the Turing test. # ⚓ Smithsonian Magazine ☛ Merriam-Webster's_Word_of_the Year_for_2025_Is_'Slop,'_the_A.I.-Generated_Junk_That Fills_Our_Social_Media_Feeds⠀⇛ We saw it on our phones. We ate it in our bowls. This year, “slop” was everywhere. It was so ubiquitous that it’s been named Merriam-Webster’s word of the year. Merriam-Webster, the oldest dictionary publisher in the United States, selected a word that describes the onslaught of artificial intelligence-generated content into every corner of the internet, from real estate listings to aspirational images on Pinterest to an adorable TikTok video of bunnies jumping on a trampoline. # ⚓ Walled Culture ☛ How_GenAI_is_taking_true_fans activity_–_and_creativity_–_to_the_next_level⠀⇛ As with other uses of genAI, this raises questions of copyright, some of which have already found their way to court. Perhaps surprisingly, Disney has just announced its embrace of this use of AI by fans, in a partnership with OpenAI: [...] # ⚓ Dark Reading ☛ Why_a_17-Year-Old_Built_an_AI_Model_to Expose_Deepfake_Maps⠀⇛ When a deepfake targeted him personally, Vaishnav Anand panicked. But when everything settled down, he turned that panic into purpose. The California high-school junior was inspired by the incident to ask a different question than most: If people already doubt celebrity videos and viral images, what about the satellite maps that governments and corporations quietly trust every day? If these could be altered to create distortions, such as faking natural disasters or hiding weak infrastructure, that could have serious effects, he pondered. # ⚓ Jonathan Kamens ☛ Comics_Aggregator:_workaround_while “Nancy”_is_in_transition⠀⇛ The slow page load is due to the fact that unfortunately GoComics has put some anti- scraping technology in front of their website which makes it take longer for the aggregator to look for strips there. # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ The_Resonant_Computing_Manifesto:_same AI_slop,_same_AI_guys⠀⇛ They demanded true freedom … for their money. The manifestos were marketing pitches. If you want to get a feel for the times, read “The Californian Ideology” by Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron. It’s a great essay from 1995 that nails these guys precisely. And the same guys in the 2020s. # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ YouTube_to_Stop_Submitting_Data_to 'Billboard'_Charts⠀⇛ Lyor Cohen, YouTube’s Global Head of Music, announced the decision in a statement shared Wednesday, Dec. 17. In the post, he called Billboard’s chart formula “outdated” and claimed it “undervalued” the “massive fan engagement on YouTube.” YouTube said it will no longer submit its data after Jan. 16, 2026. As Cohen explained, YouTube’s main gripe with the Billboard charts is the way it “weights subscription-supported streams higher than ad-supported” streams. Cohen said this “doesn’t reflect how fans engage with music today and ignores the massive engagement from fans who don’t have a subscription.” # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ Oscars_move_to_YouTube_from_ABC⠀⇛ The deal, announced Wednesday, gives YouTube exclusive global rights to the Academy Awards starting with the 101st ceremony in 2029 and running through 2033 — ending a five-decade partnership with ABC and making the Oscars the most prominent entertainment awards show to abandon a major broadcast network in favor of a digital-first platform. The show, including red carpet coverage and behind-the- scenes access, will stream live on YouTube around the world, with U.S. viewers also able to watch via YouTube TV. # ⚓ PC World ☛ The_Oscars_will_dump_ABC_for_... YouTube?⠀⇛ The biggest night in Hollywood will soon be streamed right next to Mr. Beast. You heard right: the Oscars, the Academy Awards, the annual ceremony, the red carpet, the most glamourous faces in Hollywood gathering to give themselves golden statuettes, is going to YouTube—starting in 2029. # ⚓ Dhole Moments ☛ The_Revolution_Will_Not_Make_the Hacker_News_Front_Page⠀⇛ If you get all of your important technology news from “content aggregators” like Hacker News, Lobste.rs, and most subreddits, you might be totally unaware of the important but boring infrastructure work happening largely on the Fediverse, indie web, and other less- centralized communities. This is no accident. The rough consensus of these spaces has been strongly in favor of the sort of centralized tech monopolies, venture capitalists, private equity ghouls, and “innovation” that weakens the position of workers against the wealthy (i.e., most use cases for Large Language Models). # § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ # ⚓ Security Week ☛ NMFTA_Warns_of_Surge_and Sophistication_of_Cyber-Enabled_Cargo_Theft⠀⇛ According to the NMFTA’s 2026 Transportation Industry Cybersecurity Trends Report, crime syndicates have leveraged both traditional deception and cyber techniques in campaigns aimed at brokers, carriers, and shippers. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ iTWire_-_Why_the_Factory_Floor_Is_Now_A Prime_Target_For_Cybercriminals⠀⇛ From ransomware attacks that grind assembly lines to a halt, to state-backed theft of proprietary designs, factories are now caught in the crossfire of digital crime, geopolitics, and supply chain fragility. The shift marks a turning point for industrial leaders. Cyber security is no longer a problem to delegate to IT.

No other country gets near to America in the quietness, performance and reliability of submarines on military operations. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ India_summons_Bangladesh_envoy_over security_concerns_in_Dhaka⠀⇛ The move came two ‍days after Bangladesh summoned the Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka. # ⚓ France24 ☛ US_'pressuring'_EU_not_to_use_frozen_Russian assets_for_Kyiv,_Ukraine_official_says_-_France_24⠀⇛ The European Union has laid out a plan to use the frozen assets to harness €90 billion ($105 billion) for a loan to help Ukraine repel Moscow's forces, with the money to be paid back by any eventual Russian reparations to Ukraine. # ⚓ Semafor Inc ☛ EU_to_decide_on_unlocking_frozen_Russian assets_to_aid_Ukraine⠀⇛ Failure to unlock the assets means Europe “would not have the money to sustain Ukraine economically and militarily into 2026 and on,” the head of an Italian think tank argued. But Belgium, where most of the funds are held, is especially fearful of blowback from Russia in the form of lawsuits and hybrid warfare tactics. # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ Teens_discover_books_on_social_media. What_will_the_under-16s_ban_do_to_their_reading?⠀⇛ The ban excludes anyone under 16 from a range of social media platforms, including TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ EU_Ban_on_Russian_War_Propaganda_Misfires: Blocks_Social_Media_Giants_&_Pirate_IPTV⠀⇛ To comply with these mandatory blocking requirements, ISPs in EU countries have indeed restricted access to the associated domain names. However, since there is no official EU-issued blocklist, it is not always clear what should be blocked exactly. With potential criminal prosecutions for non-compliance, that’s a problem. # ⚓ YLE ☛ Helsinki_police_suspect_dozens_of_teens_in_spate_of street_robberies,_assaults⠀⇛ The suspects were aged between 14 and 18 when they carried out the crimes, while the victims were as old as 20. The suspected crimes occurred between August and November of this year. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ EU_Sanctions_Envoy_Says_Measures_Steadily_And Increasingly_Choking_Russia_Of_Key_Revenues⠀⇛ European Union sanctions are "slowly but surely" choking Russia's oil exports -- and are also stepping up in speed and scope, according to the 27-nation bloc's chief sanctions official. EU Sanctions Envoy David O'Sullivan told RFE/RL in an interview on December 16 that while enforcement was "a game of cat and mouse," the measures were working and Russia's revenues were "suffering." # ⚓ Atlantic Council ☛ Europe’s_battle_over_Russia’s_blocked assets_is_nearing_its_endgame⠀⇛ This Thursday and Friday, EU heads of state and government will meet to discuss and vote on this plan. The meeting might not settle every question to do with the complex scheme, but it will reveal whether the plan has the necessary support to move forward. With another vote scheduled on the controversial EU-Mercosur free trade agreement for the same meeting, there are so many moving parts that it is reminiscent of some of the truly memorable summits during the Greek sovereign debt crisis, Brexit, and the COVID-19 pandemic. The Council Conclusions—which may only be published late at night on Friday or even Saturday—will be pored over down to the last comma. # ⚓ The Moscow Times ☛ Ukraine_Claims_It_Hit_Russian_Submarine in_Wartime_First⠀⇛ “For the first time in history, Sub Sea Baby underwater drones blew up a Russian Project 636.3 Varshavyanka-class submarine,” the SBU said, adding that the vessel was equipped with four Kalibr cruise missile launchers used to strike Ukrainian territory. # ⚓ RTL ☛ Hanukkah_attack:_Australian_PM_says_'Islamic_State ideology'_drove_Bondi_Beach_gunmen⠀⇛ “It would appear that this was motivated by Islamic State ideology,” he told national broadcaster ABC. The pair travelled to the Philippines before the shootings and authorities are investigating whether they met Islamist extremists there, Australian media reported. # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ Final_Rob_Reiner_Interview:_Trump,_Spinal Tap,_Misery,_Princess_Bride⠀⇛ I’ve said this a million times. He’s failed at everything. He’s been bankrupt six times. The only thing that he hasn’t failed at is convincing people he’s not a failure. And he’s done that really well. He knows show business, he knows the media. He knows how to push disinformation. He was smart enough to get Truth Social. He knows how to monetize things. He knows how to do all that, but knowing how to take a 250-year democracy and turn it into an autocracy? He’s gonna fail. But we are gonna have to fight. We’re gonna have to fight like crazy to preserve this, because I’ll be damned if my uncle who was part of D-Day and fought in 11 major battles, and my wife’s mother who was in Auschwitz and lost her entire family in Auschwitz, is gonna be… Millions of people died so that fascism wouldn’t come to our shores, that we’d preserve our democracy. Eighty years later we’re faced with a possible fascist takeover. People are gonna fight hard to make sure that doesn’t happen. We have to keep Trump’s feet to the fire. But for the countries that have become autocracies, for the most part, it takes years to start changing the constitution, to start changing the electorate, to make the disinformation take hold. It’s a little easier now with social media, but he’s trying to do it overnight, and I don’t think they’re gonna be successful. # ⚓ NYPost ☛ Murdered_MIT_professor_was_found_in_building_foyer by_neighbor_who_heard_gunshots⠀⇛ The MIT nuclear science professor who was shot dead in his home was found lying on his back in the building foyer by a neighbor who heard gunshots while lighting a menorah candle, it emerged Wednesday. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ MIT_Fusion_Physicist_Murdered_in_His_Home⠀⇛ He was convinced that "we are really progressing towards finally having electricity from fusion." # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Malaysian_police_recover_car_stolen with_five-year-old_girl_inside⠀⇛ The child was located along with the vehicle shortly after the incident. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Dihydroxyacetone_Man-Kim_summit_more likely_in_2026,_with_Seoul_still_left_in_cold:_Report⠀⇛ Mr Convicted Felon’s scheduled visit to China in 2026 could revive Convicted Felon-Kim talks, dormant since June 2019. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Taiwan_says_Chinese_aircraft_carrier sailed_through_Taiwan_Strait⠀⇛ The Fujian is China’s third aircraft carrier, with a flat flight deck and electromagnetic catapults for take-offs. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ China’s_Pooh-tin_backs_Hong_Kong_leader after_deadly_fire_and_Jimmy_Lai_verdict⠀⇛ The Chinese leader also highlighted the “steady” growth of the city’s economy. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Japan_visitor_arrivals_growth_strong_in November_despite_China_travel_warning⠀⇛ Growth in visitors to Japan from mainland China slowed to 3 per cent in November. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ China_says_Philippines_distorted_facts about_incident_near_disputed_atoll⠀⇛ Manila said three Filipino fishermen had been wounded, and two fishing vessels were damaged. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Drill_Rapper_Kay_Flock_Hit_With_30- Year_Prison_Term;_Judge_Dismisses_‘Intellectual_Disability’ Claims⠀⇛ Drill rapper Kay Flock has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for gang violence charges, including various weapons and assault charges, as well as racketeering conspiracy. Kay Flock, the 22- year-old drill rapper best known for the hit “PSA,” has been sentenced to 30 years in prison in a packed courthouse hearing on Tuesday. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ What_to_know_about_Australia’s_gun_laws in_the_wake_of_Bondi_Beach_shooting⠀⇛ Questions are being raised about whether the laws should be tightened after the Dec 14 shooting. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Australia’s_New_South_Wales_to_pass emergency_gun_laws_as_funerals_of_Bondi_attack_victims begin⠀⇛ New South Wales' Premier said Parliament would return on Dec 22 to hear "urgent" reforms. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Australia’s_gun_laws_riddled_with loopholes_and_workarounds,_say_experts⠀⇛ Australia, reeling from the Dec 14 attack, is now questioning the effectiveness of its gun laws. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ The_enemy_within:_New_Zealand_tightens laws_against_covert_foreign_influence⠀⇛ Its intelligence service has flagged growing efforts by foreign states to influence communities and institutions. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ China_Draws_Iranian_Ire_Over_UAE_Islands_Claim⠀⇛ China has rattled Tehran by again backing the United Arab Emirates’s claim over three Persian Gulf islands controlled by Iran. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Marilyn_Manson_Sexual_Assault_Case Dismissed_Once_Again_Over_Statute_of_Limitations_Issues⠀⇛ Marilyn Manson scored a win after a Los Angeles judge dismissed a sexual assault lawsuit filed by his former assistant, ending a case that was set for trial next month. # ⚓ ACLU ☛ Inside_an_ICE_Detention_Center:_Detained_People Describe_Severe_Medical_Neglect,_Harrowing_Conditions⠀⇛ When U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained Fernando Viera Reyes, his first concern was deportation. His second: prostate cancer. “It’s one thing being healthy and going through that, but now there’s no medical attention,” Viera Reyes said. “I talked to guys who had been in detention. One guy said you’re not going to make it. You’re going to suffer.” o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ The Nation ☛ The_Epstein_Survivors_Are_Demanding Accountability_Now⠀⇛ It is not often that members of Congress steer attention to others. But Khanna and Massie did just that. Long before the unlikely legislative partners made their bold decision to take on both Donald Trump—who had long sought to downplay his ties to Epstein—and the disinclination of both major parties to launch a political fight that was likely to reveal bipartisan wrongdoing, survivors were demanding the release of Justice Department and FBI documents and investigative materials regarding Epstein and those with alleged ties to the deceased sex offender. # ⚓ The Independent UK ☛ Ghislaine_Maxwell_asks_court_to_set aside_her_conviction_which_may_complicate_the_pending_release of_the_Epstein_files⠀⇛ Maxwell is currently serving 20 years in prison for her role in a decade-long scheme to sexually exploit and abuse minor girls with Epstein. The new habeas petition claims “substantial new evidence has emerged” that shows Maxwell did not receive a fair trial. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ Trump_administration_moves_to_dismantle leading_climate_and_weather_research_center⠀⇛ Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources, said it is hard to overstate the importance of the center. “There is no other institution like NCAR — not just in this country but really anywhere else in the world,” Swain said during a briefing Wednesday morning. He feared that no other global institution can absorb the entirety of its expertise. # ⚓ TruthOut ☛ The_Arctic_Just_Experienced_Its_Warmest_Year_on Record⠀⇛ The annual report, released Tuesday, also notes the Arctic’s lowest maximum sea-ice extent and its wettest year on record. The past 10 years have been the warmest recorded in a region that is heating at two to four times the global average. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ On_British_Roads,_Chinese_Cars_Are Racing_Ahead⠀⇛ BYD, Chery and other Chinese automakers are winning over drivers in Britain, where tariffs are low and buyers are open to new brands. # ⚓ The Strategist ☛ China_is_developing_an_edge_in satellite_independent_navigation⠀⇛ A critical gap is emerging. China is publishing aggressively on satellite- independent navigation—bee-style path integration, salmon-like magnetic sensing and bio-hybrid drones. Yet the United States and its allies remain focused on satellite resilience rather than replacement. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ US_states_sue_administration_over_withheld electric_vehicle_program_funds⠀⇛ Fifteen states, the governor of Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit against executive agencies on Tuesday for blocking funds allocated for electric vehicle (EV) charging station programs. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Waymo_Paralyzed_by_Parade,_Blocks_Traffic for_45_Minutes⠀⇛ As Waymo glitches go, it’s pretty ironic: in a sense, attempts by law enforcement to jockey the crowd around in order to clear vehicle traffic are a perfect illustration of who gets the right-of-way in US cities. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ How_[Crytpocurrency]_Is_Turning America_Into_a_Kleptocracy⠀⇛ Then David is joined by Will Thomas, a professor at the Michigan Ross School of Business, to discuss Thomas’s paper “ [Crytpocurrency] Kleptocracy.” David and Thomas discuss how the second Trump term has embraced the [crytpocurrency] industry, how crytpocurrencies have enriched the Trump family, and the new channels for corruption that [crytpocurrency] opens. Finally, David discusses Joseph Conrad’s Lord Jim and what the novel can teach us about courage, a discussion relevant after an eyewitness reported that he thought police were slow to act during the terrorist attack on Bondi Beach. The following is a transcript of the episode: [...] # ⚓ Maine Morning Star ☛ Maine_expands_program_to_help low-income_households_pay_electric_bills_amid_rising costs⠀⇛ Under the changes, households with incomes up to 150% of the federal poverty level who participate in other means-tested programs with the Maine Department of Health and Human Services will now be eligible to participate. The commission is also moving to an automatic enrollment system for customers who meet the requirements. # ⚓ H2 View ☛ Plug_Power_installs_5MW_GenEco_electrolyser in_Namibia⠀⇛ The site, which includes a 5MW solar park and a 5.9MWh battery energy storage system, will locally produce green hydrogen for trucks, port, and rail equipment, in addition to small ships operating through the Port of Walvis Bay. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ The_data_center_cooling_state_of play_(2025)_—_Liquid_cooling_is_on_the_rise,_thermal density_demands_skyrocket_in_AI_data_centers,_and_TSMC leads_with_direct-to-silicon_solutions⠀⇛ Just 10 years ago, in 2015, data center liquid cooling was primarily limited to specialized applications such as supercomputers and mining farms; its global adoption rate at the time was at best around 5%. Air cooling dominated due to lower upfront costs and simpler infrastructure. But by 2020, the adoption of liquid cooling began to rise and reached around 10% as cloud hyperscalers started to strive for efficiency . However, with power densities of approximately 5 –10kW per rack on average, air cooling was sufficient for most. Fast forward a few years, and power density per rack increased to 15kW, 20kW, 30kW, or even 40kW (in the case of Nvidia H100-based racks). These soaring power densities led to the steady adoption of liquid, as the technology moved from specialized setups to enterprise and cloud data centers. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Bernie_Sanders_proposes_AI datacenter_moratorium⠀⇛ US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is calling for a nationwide moratorium on datacenter construction, saying it would "give democracy a chance to catch up … and make sure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the wealthiest people on Earth." # ⚓ Molly White ☛ Issue_98_–_The_world’s_most_corrupt_ [crytpocurrency]_startup_operation⠀⇛ Kwon’s Terra project unraveled in May 2022 in a $40 billion crash after the algorithmic stablecoin lost its dollar peg and ultimately went to zero. Investors drawn by supposedly “risk‑free” yields for holding “dollars” learned that Terra (UST) was not a dollar, and that the yields were anything but risk‑free. One victim who spoke at Kwon’s sentencing, a Russian woman living in the country of Georgia, explained that she had been living on the streets after her “$81,000 turned into $13 that I could hold in the palm of my hand.” Other victims described suicides of friends who had invested in Terra, their own thoughts of ending their lives, families breaking up, postponed retirements and schooling, the inability to pay medical bills, and lives ruined.3 I purchased the PACER documents so that anyone can read the victim impact statements for themselves, and highlighted some of them. # ⚓ Didier Stevens ☛ USB_Trigger_Boards⠀⇛ In blog post “Quickpost: USB Electric Razor” I mention USB trigger boards. A USB trigger board is a small electronic device that receives power via a USB- C connector, and delivers power with a voltage that it negotiates with the USB power source. # ⚓ BoingBoing ☛ Tesla_about_to_learn_California’s_laws are_real⠀⇛ For years, Tesla has marketed its so-called "Autopilot" and "Full Self-Driving" software like a sci-fi dream that somehow skipped beta testing and ducked federal regulation. But now, California's DMV is doing the unthinkable: treating Tesla like any other company that isn't allowed to lie about what their products do. # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ The Revelator ☛ This_Year_in_Conservation_Science: Whales,_Birds,_and_Killer_Roads⠀⇛ # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ To_combat_elephant_abuse,_an_Indian nonprofit_educates_travel_firms⠀⇛ The campaign’s website describes the abuse that elephants endure during training, and later, in their lives as riding elephants. “The more we understood the hidden suffering,” Mr. Arora says, “the clearer it became that we could not continue to support” elephant riding. QXP, whose clients are predominantly from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, has since removed elephant rides from all itineraries it offers. “For us, it was not just about removing an unethical tourist attraction,” Mr. Arora says, speaking to the Monitor via Zoom. “It was about replacing it with something more powerful: compassion.” o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Zorin Group ☛ Our_Gift_to_the_Open_Source_Ecosystem_this Holiday_Season_-_Zorin⠀⇛ As we reflect on the year that has passed, we would like to take the opportunity to give back to the world of Linux and Open Source. That’s why we donated to 10 invaluable projects and communities, celebrating their contributions to the ecosystem: [...] o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Cambodia,_Thailand_agree_to_attend ASEAN_Foreign_Ministers_meet_in_KL:_Malaysia’s_PM_Anwar⠀⇛ The meeting is to convince Thailand and Cambodia to stop escalating tensions along the disputed borders. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Malaysian_PM_Anwar_rules_out possibility_of_general_election_in_2026,_says_‘long_way_to go’⠀⇛ He added that his priority is to implement reforms and address the rising cost of living. # ⚓ Robert Greiner ☛ The_Most_Expensive_Wall_in_Software_| Robert_Greiner⠀⇛ We treat that story like a Palantir quirk, some weird exception from a weird company. It isn’t. It’s a preview. The “Forward Deployed Engineer” sounds like a new job title. It’s not. It marks the moment a company admits that the wall between “building software” and “understanding the problem” has been a very expensive illusion. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Teen_jailed_for_3.5_years_over_HK independence_group_involvement⠀⇛ A 16-year-old boy has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for conspiring to commit secession by “actively participating” in a Taiwan- based group that advocates Hong Kong independence. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Section_230_Faces_Repeal._Support_The_Coverage That’s_Been_Getting_It_Right_All_Along.⠀⇛ Yesterday, Rep. Harriet Hageman released her bill to repeal Section 230. She’s calling it “reform,” but make no mistake—it’s a repeal, and I’ll explain why below. The law turns 30 in February, and there’s a very real chance this could be its last anniversary. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Deliberate_Internet_Shutdowns⠀⇛ The frequency of deliberate [Internet] shutdowns has skyrocketed since the first notable example in Egypt in 2011. Together with our colleagues at the digital rights organisation Access Now and the #KeepItOn coalition, we’ve tracked 296 deliberate [Internet] shutdowns in 54 countries in 2024, and at least 244 more in 2025 so far. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Channel_4_News’_Cathy_Newman_and_Esme_Wren: Our_investigative_journalism_is_‘more_precious_than_ever’⠀⇛ Channel 4 News award winners on "high risk" investigations like church abuse scandal. # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ GB_News_apologises_to_Meghan_Markle’s mother_over_false_prison_claim⠀⇛ Carole Malone attributed the false claim to "misinformation" she had seen online. # ⚓ The Walrus ☛ If_Chatbots_Can_Replace_Writers,_It’s_Because We_Made_Writing_Replaceable⠀⇛ Naturally, not everyone thought this was a good thing. There are plenty of arguments for why AI is a menace: there’s the accuracy argument (sometimes it makes things up), the plagiarism argument (the appropriation of data to train large language models is a massive violation of intellectual property law), the bias argument (it regurgitates the racism, ableism, and misogyny of the data on which it was trained), the environmental argument (it consumes a lot of energy), the workforce argument (it’ll make a lot of jobs redundant), the literacy argument (it will be hard to teach people to read if they have a machine that can do it for them), the quality-of-digital-life argument (it fills social media with AI slop), and the authoritarianism argument (it’ll make governments more powerful and less accountable). # ⚓ Ben Werdmuller ☛ Nieman_Lab's_Predictions_for_Journalism 2026⠀⇛ The annual Nieman Journalism Lab Predictions for Journalism is always interesting. They’re often not so much predictions as either warnings or wishcasting; a finger on the pulse of what people are actually thinking inside newsrooms. It’s well- curated, and even the design of the site is always interesting year-on-year. Here are some pieces that caught my eye, although you should go check out the full set. # ⚓ LRT ☛ Journalists_begin_3-day_protest_over_LRT_law changes⠀⇛ Journalists and cultural figures began a three-day protest in Vilnius on Tuesday as Lithuania’s parliament moved to consider amendments that would make it easier to dismiss the head of the country’s public broadcaster, LRT. # ⚓ BoingBoing ☛ Palin_loses_bid_for_third_trial_against_NYT⠀⇛ A federal judge has rejected Sarah Palin's request for a third trial in her libel lawsuit against the New York Times, effectively ending an eight-year legal battle that became a cause célèbre for media critics on the right. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Iran_curbs_women's_rights_further_by changing_dowry_law⠀⇛ In Iran, a groom or his family usually pays a dowry, or "Mehrieh," to his wife. It often takes the form of gold coins, but it can also include cash, property and other items. The dowry, which is negotiated before marriage and legally treated as debt, can be claimed by the wife at any time during a marriage or when getting divorced. The new, more lenient policy sharply lowers the threshold for the amount a man must pay his wife in the event of divorce to avoid imprisonment — from 110 gold coins to just 14 coins. Each coin is about 8 grams of gold. # ⚓ USMC ☛ Attention,_ladies:_You_can_now_wear_the_iconic Marine_Corps_boat_cloak⠀⇛ For the first time since its authorization for wear in the 1800s, both male and female Marines whose rank or officer status qualifies them can wear one of the Corps’ rarest and most pricey dress accessories: the boat cloak. # ⚓ Vintage Everyday ☛ Woman_Standing_on_a_Street_Holding_a Sign_Reading_“OUR_BOSS_OWNS_77_HOUSES_—_WE_CAN’T_PAY_RENT”⠀⇛ The woman's sign reads: “Our boss owns 77 houses • We can’t pay rent.” This stark statement highlighted the immense economic disparity between the wealthy employers who were accumulating vast property and the workers who struggled to afford basic necessities like housing, despite their labor fueling the industry. # ⚓ The Next Move ☛ Dictatorship:_Beware_Excuses⠀⇛ That is a perfectly reasonable statement. But the phrase “traditions and historic forms of government” should be examined. Which I will do in a moment. First, a word about “hectoring.” One man’s hectoring, I suppose, is another man’s standing up for basic human values: for instance, a critic of the government should not be tortured to death. Trump’s first trip abroad as president, in 2017, was to Saudi Arabia. On landing in Riyadh, he said, “We are not here to lecture. We are not here to tell other people how to live, what to do, who to be, or how to worship.” What a relief that must have been, to dictators! Because, as they see it, it’s their job to tell other people how to live, what to do, etc. # ⚓ Declan Chidlow ☛ You_Can't_Opt-Out_of_Accessibility⠀⇛ I’m frustrated, and I’m angry at the state of accessibility on the web. I’m usually not much one for profanity, but I’m fucking pissed off. I’ve been worn down slowly by thing after thing – death by a thousand cuts. I feel powerless and overwhelmed, and I’m dismayed to know I’m not the only one feeling as such. Accessibility is so fundamental that this shouldn’t even be a post I feel compelled to write, yet I feel like some fanatical obsessive whenever I have to try convince someone to do something as simple as care about their fellow humans. # ⚓ ANF News ☛ Women's_organizations_call_for_action_against violations_in_Iran⠀⇛ “Iran is committing crimes against humanity through torture of prisoners, mass executions, international silencing, and restrictions,” said the statement on Wednesday. # ⚓ Tor ☛ Advancing_digital_rights_in_2026_will_take_all_of_us |_The_Tor_Project⠀⇛ The upside is that technology makes the fight for human rights possible on a more global scale, because we can see and connect our movements together; however, most tech that we use today is controlled by Big Tech. That often means companies are conducting surveillance of how you use that technology and controlling the information you are shown through straight up censorship, algorithm manipulation, and shadow banning. As if that weren’t enough, there are many governments out there exploring and developing technology to repress and censor people. # ⚓ Open Caucasus Media ☛ Georgian_parliament_passes_bill banning_overseas_voting⠀⇛ The now-adopted amendments have become a subject of broad public debate within Georgian society, both among those living in the country and Georgians residing abroad. Critics have repeatedly accused the ruling party of attempting to strip citizens living abroad of their right to vote. # ⚓ Open Caucasus Media ☛ Child_marriage_across_the_Caucasus: why_laws_alone_aren’t_enough⠀⇛ ‘I studied at school until the 10th grade, but once I got married, they immediately pulled me out. I desperately wanted to escape that family and return to my classmates, but married girls were not allowed to do that’, she says. Her story is one of many across Eurasia — where child, early, and forced marriage (CEFM) continues despite reforms, despite awareness campaigns, and despite the growing evidence of long-term harm for girls’ safety, education, health, and economic independence. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ FCC_Deletes_Reference_to_Agency Independence_During_US_Senate_Hearing⠀⇛ Shortly after that exchange, the language on the website was changed. An FCC spokesperson said "with the change in ‌Administration earlier this year, the FCC’s website and materials required updating. That work continues to ensure that they ​reflect ‌the positions of the agency’s new ‍leadership.” # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ UN_sticks_with_multi-stakeholder_ [Internet]_governance_model⠀⇛ Wednesday’s session caps a process that started in 2003, when the UN convened the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), a forum for discussing the role of technology in society. The first WSIS process saw participating nations pledge “to build a people-centred, inclusive and development-oriented information society, where everyone can create, access, utilize and share information and knowledge.” It also saw participating nations agree to the multi- stakeholder [Internet] governance arrangements that persist to this day, and which sees organizations like the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the Internet Society (ISOC), and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) each play a role. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Flamed Fury ☛ What_Music_Ownership_Means_to_Me⠀⇛ What’s going on, Internet? If a song isn’t available on Spotify or Apple Music, a lot of people these days assume it isn’t an official release. I reckon that idea is wrong. Digital Streaming Platforms (DSPs) are not archives. They’re digital storefronts. What you see is a product that depends on licensing, timing, and deals, not history. Availability gets confused with legitimacy, and anything missing is treated like it never existed or as some kind of lost media. # ⚓ Ars Technica ☛ Verizon_refused_to_unlock_man’s_iPhone,_so he_sued_the_carrier_and_won⠀⇛ When Verizon refused to unlock an iPhone purchased by Kansas resident Patrick Roach, he had no intention of giving up without a fight. Roach sued the wireless carrier in small claims court and won. § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ The_‘Koozie’_People_Bullied_A_Wooden_Drink Sleeve_Product,_‘Woodzie’,_Into_A_Name_Change⠀⇛ I’ve said it roughly a zillion times: trademark bullying exists because it works. One of the unfortunate inequities of our system is that having a large legal warchest simply allows someone to push around others over trademark “concerns” that aren’t valid. The formula for this is consistent. Large corporate interest with lawyers at the ready will police the country for any uses of a term in any way close to the corporation’s trademark, and C&D its victim into making a change, which itself only happens because the victim can’t afford to fight back. It sucks, but it’s reality. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ X_sues_to_protect_Twitter_brand_Musk_has been_trying_to_kill⠀⇛ X has filed a lawsuit against a social media startup over the Twitter brand, effectively acknowledging that millions still use the Twitter domain, call Elon Musk's platform "Twitter," and their emissions "tweets." A week ago, Operation Bluebird announced that "after 12 months of quiet work," it had filed to claim the Twitter trademark. # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ X_moves_to_block_bid_to revive_Twitter_brand⠀⇛ Virginia-based Operation Bluebird asked the US Patent and Trademark Office on 2 December to cancel X’s federal “Twitter” trademarks, arguing the company had abandoned them. Bluebird said that it wanted to use Twitter-related trademarks for a rival platform called twitter.new, and separately applied to register its own “Twitter” mark. o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Pluralistic:_Happy_Public_Domain_Day_2026!⠀⇛ There are some spectacular works that are being freed on January 1: [...] # ⚓ Duke University ☛ Public_Domain_Day_2026_|_Duke_University School_of_Law⠀⇛ On January 1, 2026, thousands of copyrighted works from 1930 enter the US public domain, along with sound recordings from 1925. They will be free for all to copy, share, and build upon.[3] The literary highlights range from William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying to Agatha Christie’s The Murder at the Vicarage and the first four Nancy Drew novels. From cartoons and comic strips, the characters Betty Boop, Pluto (originally named Rover), and Blondie and Dagwood made their first appearances. Films from the year featured Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo, the Marx Brothers, and John Wayne in his first leading role.
