Productivity-wise, both sites had a record year. The latest page in "new Tux Machines" is #39542 and the first_of_the_year_was_#29186, which means we published over 10,000 pages in less than 12 months. In "new Techrights" the first_of_the_year_was_#7326 and the_latest is #13533, so we're looking at almost 6,500 by year's end. However, number of pages - just_like_number_of_words - is a misleading measure, a poor yardstick. What was very good about this year is that we truly got "into the rhythm" of publishing, I sleep a lot more (rest does reduce the frequency of typos in my articles - I had underestimated how much difference extra sleep would make), and we're pretty much done with lawyers. Now we can focus on what lies ahead and spend time reading, writing, keeping things simple. This holiday I plan to finish reading_the_book_sent_my_way_to_digest. Next week and next year there won't be a "Slopwatch" because it's very hard to envision this hype making a comeback (to the point where we have sufficient "volume" for an installment). People are getting fed up with slop - to the point where_Mozilla_is_running_like_headless_chicken (opting out from slop is referred to by Mozilla as "kill switch"). As recently as this morning someone told me he was leaving Firefox and I saw some bloggers saying the same thing early this morning. LibreWolf_is_the_way_to_go. Maybe next year LibreWolf can exceed 10 million active users. To LibreWolf, the development is "Linux-first" (unlike Mozilla, where it's "Linux-last"). If you still use Firefox, then take_a_quick_look_at_LibreWolf_and_give_it_a try. █ * More_Microsoft_Layoffs_Coming_Soon * The_Real_Problem_With_Rust_is_Not_"Wokeness"_(It_Never_Was) ⠀⠻⣽⣿⣿⡷⢿⢻⡿⠛⠋⠁⠀⠙⠃⠀⠀⣴⡏⠀⠀⡴⢋⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⢾⣩⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠙⠉⠁⠚⠉⠈⠋⠁⠐ ⠀⠀⠙⠙⠛⠃⠐⠴⠅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡾⠁⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣫⣾⡀⠸⠉⣨⣿⣦⠲⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠰⠐⠐⠀ ⣶⣿⣿⣽⣿⡿⣿⣿⡿⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢺⡿⢃⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣫⣾⣿⣿⣧⣠⣾⣷⠍⡻⢾⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢃⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣉⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣫⣾⡟⡝⣿⡿⠋⠀⠙⡠⣪⡞⠀⠙⣿⣷⣴⣄⠀⠀⠈⢱⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠘⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣽⠿⣫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣾⣿⣿⣧⡥⠋⠀⢀⡠⣫⣾⡿⠁⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠈⠙⢷⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠇⠀⢐⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣏⣷⣿⣯⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢻⣿⣿⡿⠋⠀⢀⡴⣫⣾⡯⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⠑⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⡿⣿⣽⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠻⠋⠀⢀⡠⣪⣾⠛⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣷⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣫⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢫⣴⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣵⢿⣿⠟⠀⡀⡰⣪⣾⡿⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⢿⣽⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣴⣿⣥⣾⣿⣿⣿⣟⣵⠟⠁⠊⠁⣠⡾⣫⣾⡟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣵⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣵⡿⣋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⡫⠈⠀⣠⡾⣻⣾⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀ ⣛⠛⠿⠽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢋⣵⡿⣯⣿⢯⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⠁⠂⠀⣠⡾⣯⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⣀⠔⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣦⡙⢿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣶⣾⣶⠮⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⡿⣫⢽⣿⣷⣾⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⠨⠀⠀⣠⣾⣻⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⡀⠚⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⢞⡿⣿⣿⣿⣮⡻⣿⣿ ⣉⠀⠀⠀⢐⣢⣬⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣩⣿⣿⣿⣫⣿⣽⠿⣭⣵⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣋⣵⡯⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⣠⠞⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣶⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢬⣿ ⣤⣄⣁⠐⣷⣍⠉⠁⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣹⣿⣿⣿⡿⣞⣟⣽⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⢀⠔⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣠⡙ ⣯⠟⠺⢸⡿⠿⠆⠀⣮⣶⣝⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣞⢼⣿⡓⢊⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⣫⣿⡿⠋⠁⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⣀⠔⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠡⣾⣿⣿ ⣿⣶⡤⢠⣷⣮⠀⢘⣿⣿⢿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡿⠋⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠡⢾⣷⡝⢿⣿ ⣿⣿⡏⣺⣿⣿⠀⠘⢋⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠑⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⡠⠚⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢩⢾⣷⡕⢉⣚⣦⡙ ⣿⣿⡇⣬⣛⠿⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⣠⠞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢋⢴⣷⡕⣩⡌⠴⠿⣫⣾ ⣿⣿⣧⣿⣷⡆⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⣠⠞⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢋⣴⣷⡕⢉⡐⢝⠿⣢⣶⣿⠯ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣛⡫⡛⠿⠉⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⣀⠚⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢋⣴⣦⡘⢉⡈⠻⡿⢢⣦⡈⠻⣡⣮ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡮⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⠟⠁⢀⠀⢀⠞⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢋⣴⣦⡈⠛⡀⠻⡿⢢⣦⡈⠻⠫⡺⣿⠟ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢀⣿⣎⢿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠛⠻⢿⣿⠋⠀⠀⣠⢾⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⢈⠖⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢛⣴⣦⡈⢛⡁⠺⣿⢢⣦⡈⠻⡋⡺⣿⡎⣬⣤ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡛⠛⣼⠗⠀⣠⣾⣦⣀⣠⣾⣿⣿⠟⠉⠀⠄⠀⠘⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⢝⣿⣦⡀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣵⣆⠸⠟⡑⢺⣿⢆⣤⡉⠻⠫⡺⣿⡦⣨⡺⣻⡟ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡻⣗⣾⣾⡿⣻⣿⣿⠿⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⡠⠆⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⠘⠡⢽⡿⠋⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣡⣌⠙⠟⠑⢿⣷⢄⣤⠩⡿⠟⡼⣿⡮⣬⣾⣿⡿⣰⣿ ⠖⠚⠉⠉⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⡪⣿⣿⣏⣋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠚⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣷⡾⠋⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣡⣌⠛⠟⠁⢾⣷⠄⣅⠘⢿⠗⢶⣷⣜⣯⣶⣿⡿⣫⣾⡿⠋ ⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⡄⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠁⢸⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⣰⣿⠿⣻⠿⠋⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣡⡈⠻⡿⠢⣾⣷⢄⣁⢘⢿⠗⢵⣷⣔⢍⣽⣿⣿⣫⣾⡿⠋⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⡇⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣗⡈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠐⣾⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢿⣧⡬⠉⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣡⠚⢿⡿⢢⣾⣦⡈⣃⠺⣿⠗⣵⣶⣄⢙⣵⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⡙⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣝⠻⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣋⠚⢿⡷⢠⣶⣦⠈⡋⠸⣿⡦⣠⣶⣍⠙⣵⣿⣿⢟⣽⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⢿⣶⡤⠅⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣬⡻⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠴⣿⡷⣀⢤⣄⠙⠋⠸⡿⠦⣪⣦⡈⠛⣩⣿⣿⢟⣵⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 175 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/20/Coming_to_Grips_With_a_Lack_of_Future_at_IBM.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/20/Coming_to_Grips_With_a_Lack_of_Future_at_IBM.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Coming to Grips With a Lack of Future at IBM⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 20, 2025 From recent hours: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇I_am_excited_to_announce_that_I_am_starting_a_new_position as_Company_Owner_at_Design_Thinking_Landscaping_LLC._My_last_day_with_IBM_will be_March_31,_2026⦈_ Last night we could see_LLM_slop/spam_about_IBM.

What sort of future does this company have? Getting English-speaking slopfarms to issue fake reports (it's not journalism, it's LLM slop) with phony promises about 5 years from now? IBM hasn't just become mediocre; it_rewards_people_for_failure and ousts competent_people. The same is happening in Red Hat. A lot of today's articles about Red Hat are fake; Red Hat pays for articles about Red Hat and many of them are just some fluff about "AI". Red Hat's future doesn't look bright under the auspices as they seem right now. So this is very relevant to us. █ * Over_at_Tux_Machines... * Gemini_Links_20/12/2025:_Christmas_Songs,_Storms,_and_Old_Web

(Yorktown) Says Why IBM is Doomed and the Anonymous Tipline (Speak Up) is a Trap⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 20, 2025 Two hours ago: (yes, many are still leaving, and writing about that with a similar 'template') 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇My_working_last_day_at_IBM_India_Limited_approaches,_I_want to_thank_you_all_for_the_amazing_experience_of_working_together._enjoyed_every moment_of_our_collaboration,_and_I'm_proud_of_the_work_that_we've⦈_ It is a confirmed_fact (confirmed by many insiders, using their real names in authenticated accounts) that IBM Research has problems and whole labs get shut down, with more to come soon. We wrote_about_this_yesterday and since then we've seen a few more posts from people who lost their jobs at IBM Research. One person weighed_in_to_say: (we have no reason to doubt the sincerity) Don’t expect this to change. I was a manager in research (Yorktown not Albany) for a few decades. In the 90’s I got saddled with a smooth talking technical light weight. He was a world class squeaky wheel. Back then evaluations were 4-point — 1) walks on water; the second coming 2) most folks 3) seriously lacking 4) begin planning separation. I rated the light weight a low 3 and indicated that I would have no issue giving a 4 if upline preferred. The 2nd line was a bit of a schmoozer and rounded this guy up to a 2 since they had personality traits in common. The 3rd line had multiple daily visits from the squeaker explaining his grand contributions and the lower level managers who simply weren’t able to appreciate him. The 3rd line extended to his fellow schmoozer and brown noser the professional courtesy of a 1 and a tongue lashing for us in lower management. (Naturally because of distributional guidance and quotas, other employees took the hit to make room for this guy) A few years later, this guy left research and repeated the cycle in software group where he spent many years as a technically incompetent DE pulling the same stunts before someone powerful enough saw his true colors. He parlayed the DE position into a senior technical position at one of the big then-new cloud companies. Predictably, he had a steep upward trajectory there too until someone showed him the door. Pooling my experience and that of now-departed old-timers and my former protégées, I know these games were common in Research from the early 60’s through this month’s 2025 evaluation cycle. They have a track record of over half a century of doing the same thing. IBM is an old dog; new tricks are not its thing. In case you were wondering, this sort of thing is behind over half of junior technical leadership appointments ( team lead through Director level). Higher levels also involve games, but the game rules are different. The process is designed to put manipulable bozos in high places so that a select few can pull all the strings. Look at IBM Research’s current “Chief Scientist’ for an example of this. [...] and of course the anonymous tipline (Speak Up) and reporting on wrongdoing never works at IBM and it never will in a billion years. There is always retaliation, and ways to drum out whistleblowers out of the company on some flimsy pretext or the other. Happens in IBM Consulting all the time. Probably in other IBM divisions too. The IBM Business Conduct Guidelines (BCGs) are a total myth, except for fools who believe in them. Fostering a culture of trust and accountability with defined processes for confidential, unbiased handling is the last thing you will ever find from Alvind and the Pipmunks. Been there, done that. Many people, even famous people like Edward Snowden (inspired by Thomas Drake, who had said the same about the NSA), realised that blowing the whistle inside an organisation gets you flagged, not heard. I attempted the same at Sirius Open_Source - in fact more times than I can recall. IBM isn't willing to change or to address internal issues. Like we said several times last week, to assume a company like IBM can change course is to assume it's still a healthy company. But it's not - it typically_rewards_greed_and incompetence. Snowden is still alive and mostly active thanks to Julian's (Assange) girlfriend at the time, Sarah_Harrison. He blew the whistle and still managed to live a decent life after that. He just needs_to_keep_mostly_quiet_these days. █ * Links_20/12/2025:_Fentanylware_Becomes_CheeTok_and_"Why_Roomba_Died" * Probably_the_Least_Useful_Gadgets,_Ever ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⢛⠉⣛⣛⡛⣿⣇⣌⣸⣾⣏⣼⣇⣃⣾⣀⣿⣇⣫⣊⣰⣁⣽⣈⣷⣧⣫⣻⣯⣷⣫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣷⣧⣿⣧⣽⣤⣮⣿⣿⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡇⠨⠁⠀⠀⢩⠩⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣩⣫⣯⣻⣿⣿⣝⣿⣽⣿⣽⣻⣿⣟⣻⣅⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣹⣿⣿⣿⣯⣯⣿⣯⣛⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣔⡠⢀⠠⣈⣽⣿⡿⢽⣿⣻⡫⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣨⣽⢩⣟⣭⣙⣿⣘⣉⣿⡏⣇⣋⣝⣸⣿⣘⣩⣹⣋⣿⣇⣨⣇⣃⣿⣿⣉⣿⣿⣿⣸⣉⣹⣿⣏⣭⣿⣿⡉⣻⣯⣭⣿⣏⣹⣍⣩⣿⣿⣿⣟⣭⣏⣹⣿⣇⣿⣽⣀⣿⣏⣩⣯⣿⣻⣯⣉⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣋⡻⢛⣟⢙⣟⣿⠻⠛⣻⡻⢛⣟⠻⣻⣟⡿⡛⠻⣻⡛⢟⣟⢟⣟⣿⢛⣋⡿⢛⡛⢛⢛⠛⡻⣻⡟⢟⣟⠻⣛⣛⠻⣻⣻⣟⣟⠛⢟⣻⣟⣟⢹⢟⡻⢟⣟⠻⡟⣛⣟⡛⣛⠟⡛⣻⣻⢟⣋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣷⣾⣷⠿⣾⢾⣿⣾⣾⡿⣯⣼⣷⣿⣦⣾⣾⢿⢷⣿⣷⣷⣿⣷⣿⣷⡿⣾⣿⢷⢷⣿⣼⣷⣷⣧⣾⢾⣾⡾⣾⣿⣷⣿⣦⡷⣵⣷⣷⣾⣷⣿⣷⣿⣽⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣤⣿⣿⣧⣤⣥⣼⣿⣤⣿⣤⣤⣿⣧⣻⣽⣿⣥⣼⣿⣿⣦⣇⣿⣧⣿⣧⣤⣧⣿⣿⣼⣧⣴⣷⣮⣼⣷⣤⣿⣧⣮⣿⣿⣵⣤⣾⣦⣴⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠟⠻⣛⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣖⠀⢀⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣥⣤⣤⣬⣭⣥⣽⣆⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⡯⠍⣿⣿⢋⣿⣿⠛⣟⣝⣯⡿⠿⣹⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣗⣼⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⡟⢻⣿⠏⠟⠋⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣟⠁⠀⠀⣽⣿⣿⣿⡏⢌⣿⣌⣿⠃⠀⢛⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠉⠸⢿⣿⣿⠋⠈⠹⣿⠛⠛⠇⠘⠡⢱⡆⠀⠀⢘⠛⣿⡿⠛⠉⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠈⠉⠻⣿⣿⣿⡁⠀⠀⠐⣷⣿⣿⣟⢻⠏⣿⣿⡿⠀⠄⢻⣵⣿⡛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡻⢿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠄⠰⣿⣿⡇⠀⢰⣯⠀⠀⢸⠀⢲⣟⣿⠀⢀⢪⣦⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠛⢻⣿⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⢗⠒⣷⠀⠀⠀⢱⡅⣹⠁⠉⠁⣿⢿⡇⡄⠀⠸⣿⣿⢇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣧⣭⣭⣽⣿⣽⣷⠊⠉⠑⠀⠐⣻⣿⠁⡄⠀⠀⠈⠙⠃⠀⠀⠀⠜⡿⣿⣷⣳⣿⡿⣿⡧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⠀⠀⠠⠠⠠⠄⠔⠀⠀⠀⢸⣾⣿⣿⣐⣸⣀⣼⣣⣾⣀⣀⣰⣾⣸⣁⣇⣃⣆⣀⣀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⡀⠩⠑⠙⠂⠒⠂⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣳⣿⣿⠇⠋⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡛⠻⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠩⣤⠀⠀⡀⠰⠂⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣶⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠟⠫⠭⠿⠤⠑⢶⣶⡆⢸⢹⣿⡫⢛⣿⡟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⣶⡿⠟⢢⣿⣧⠁⣙⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⡟⠀⠑⠎⡿⠀⡆⠀⣮⡤⡌⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣺⠘⠋⠀⠘⢻⣇⣠⣽⣿⡋⢙⣿⣏⣹⣿⠟⠃⠀⠛⢻⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠋⢿⣅⠀⠀⢱⢲⢰⡁⠀⣯⡉⠁⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠿⢹⡿⠗⠀⠀⠘⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⡀⠀⠀⢀⠘⣿⣾⡟⣹⣷⠘⣽⢩⣻⡥⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⢤⣤⣄⣀⣀⠀⠘⡵⣲⣌⢼⠏⠈⠉⠀⢩⠅⠀⢀⢤⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⡂⠀⠰⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡠⡴⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⡶⠞⠁⢸⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⣿⣿⠇⢸⢿⣷⡃⣸⢩⠋⠀⠀⠁⠀⠠⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿ ⣿⠓⠀⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⡼⢥⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⡶⠀⢁⠀⠁⠀⠀⡄⢠⠀⡟⠀⢰⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡾⣡⠀⠠⠀⠄⢔⣦⢕⠍⠀⠀⠠⣼⡄⠀⠀⠀⠠⡇⠀⠀⣸⣯⡰⠇⠀⠀⠀⠈⣷⢰⠊⡐⣷⠉⣿⣭⣽⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠀⠀⠀⠳⢶⣦⢀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠆⠋⠀⠸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣴⣫⠃⣠⠀⡠⠌⠚⠁⠀⠀⠠⢼⢹⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢗⢋⣻⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣹⡏⣼⠅⢈⡇⠉⠀⠀⠚⢨⠐⠉⣹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⣯⡿⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⢰⡇⠀⠀⠜⠛⠃⠀⠆⠁⠀⡤⠀⡾⢿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⢀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠂⠐⠀⠀⠀⣻⣯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡀⠀⠀⠦⠀⠀⣤⡓⠠⡎⠁⠀⠂⢺⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⡗⠠⠥⡧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣟⡻⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡄⠀⢠⣤⡾⠣⠐⠀⠀⠀⢼⠿⠒⠒⠇⠀⠀⠤⢼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⠟⠃⠻⠟⠁⡄⠀⢀⠀⠀⡀⢀⠀⠀⣄⠀⢀⠪⢻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣬⣥⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣥⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣥⣶⣿⣶⣦⣤⣤⣼⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡯⡏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣻⡻⣿⡟⢻⣿⢛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 539 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/20/Impulsive_Writing_Quotas_and_Keeping_Things_as_Concise_as_Feasi.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/20/Impulsive_Writing_Quotas_and_Keeping_Things_as_Concise_as_Feasi.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Impulsive Writing, Quotas, and Keeping Things as Concise as Feasible⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 20, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇I_am_sorry_retro_background⦈_ What makes literary work valuable or gives value to the work isn't the volume of words or number of keypresses With or within social control media, many users are subjected to reckless, irresponsible "gamification" (addiction); the executives try to emulate traits from the gambling industry, for users to be constantly "engaged" (physically or mentally) so they feel compelled to keep up or to maintain some "pace"; otherwise, so-called 'friends' might think something is wrong or that they cannot "get ahead" (more "likes"). It's a mutual shame game which everyone stands to lose. It leads lots of social control media users to insecurity, stress, sometimes burnout. That's one of the reasons several nations, not just loads of schools or school districts, limit teens' access to such platforms or "apps" (the latter is just a UI). The word "users" is a clue; think drug users, Apple/Microsoft Windows users... it's like a toxin. On the Web, when it comes to blogging, people have their own separate platforms (unlike social control media), so they're not likely to compete per se and their sites aren't comparable anyway. Over the past 2 years I've read with growing concern, especially in the Press Gazette, that some news sites impose article "quotas" (like EPO with patents) on writers. Some will end up cheating, e.g. resorting to LLMs. Some, who got cautioned for "low performance", would produce nonsense or falsehoods (deliberately rushed and sloppy jobs). Some would quit the occupation due to pressure. All quotas are based on some yardstick, such as "productivity" as measured by the number of words, not the number of hours spent researching a subject (harder to properly enumerate the latter). It lessens the overall quality and learns to churnalism being rewarded (to meet "targets"). That leads us to the last (above-mentioned) point: number of words. The number of words is rather meaningless. Spewing our many words isn't hard, LLMs can do that. Before LLMs there were many other ways to do the same, e.g. run Google Translate on some sites online to get 'original' new text. Google Translate has been around for two decades already. It wasn't even the first of its kind (we had some in the 1990s). A 10-word sentence being read by a million people can have the same impact or magnitude (exposure-wise) as a million-word book being read by just 10 people. Heck, if that book repeats the same points over and over again, then it might be missing the point. When publishing information or some analysis the goal should not be to make it long, at least not longer then it can be (while relaying or getting across the key facts). Just as we don't measure the quality of some food in some restaurant by raw weight (1 KG of French fries on a plate, soaked with oil, is no better than 100 grams of finely-made cuisine). Having_just_mentioned_IBM_slop_(fake_journalism), the time seemed right express concerns about popular fallacies. Some publishers wrongly assume that journalists as some sort of "flesh typewriters" rather than people who can think, digest information, and then research/dig up some more information to form and reaffirm conclusions. The publishers that delude themselves into this mentality end up experimenting with LLM slop and dooming whatever they once published, disgracing any (good) past work using bot-generated garbage. Sane people are never going to be interesting in reading or listening to stuff produced by bots (unless the bots' use isn't disclosed). This has been proved time after time. Life is too short to read or listen to everything, so people are selective. █ * Gemini_Links_20/12/2025:_Christmas_Songs,_Storms,_and_Old_Web * Linux_Foundation:_Richard_Stallman_Developed_Only_a_Software_Licence ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠁⠘⠿⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⣁⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠤⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡶⢺⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠂⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣼⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠥⠀⠨⠀⢐⣼⡤⣿⣿⣯⢩⣯⣿⡿⡿⢻⣿⣿⢟⠿⡟⡻⣟⠛⠻⣛⠛⢿⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣳⣸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣒⠀⢐⠀⠠⠿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣜⣿⣿⣧⣧⣼⣿⣿⣵⣠⣮⣣⣟⣈⣿⣏⣹⡿⠏⣾⣿⣿⣋⣏⣿⣹⣙⣏⣏⣹⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⠉⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠦⠀⠠⠀⢰⡇⠘⣿⣿⡿⠋⢻⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⠋⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣉⢉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠙⠿⣿⣿⡷⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠈⠀⠀⠁⠀⠉⢉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⡭⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⡼⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠙⠛⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣦⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣈⠋⠀⡇⢀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⣆⡀⠀⣶⣾⠠⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠴⠀⠤⠓⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣅⠠⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠠⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠀⠈⠃⠀⠀⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠉⠉⠉⠉⠋⢻⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣂⣈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡾⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣶⣶⠂⠈⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠒⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠗⠃⠀⠀⠀⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠐⢤⣀⣀⡁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣤⠞⠉⠞⠁⠀⠁⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⡿⠃⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⡂⣴⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠢⠭⡟⠻⠦⢴⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⡶⠶⠛⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⣠⣾⣿⠟⠁⣶⣿⡗⢠⠂⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⢀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠴⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣡⣾⣿⡿⠋⠀⠀⠹⠋⡰⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠁⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣶⣿⣿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠞⢷⣄⠚⢦⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠊⠁⠀⠴⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⡀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣴⣾⣿⡿⠟⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⠔⢁⠀⢤⡈⠳⠦⠈⠺⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠊⠁⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠻⠿⠿⢶⠶⣶⢶⡶⣶⡾⣿⠿⡿⠟⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⡀⠄⢀⡠⠾⡉⠢⡀⠑⡄⠙⢂⣄⠐⢵⡄⠁⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠳⢦⣸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡤⠖⠫⡈⢦⡈⠂⠈⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠢⠀⠄⠁⠀⠂⠀⠢⣄⡀⠀⠈⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣒⣈⣁⣀⣈⣀⣀⣀⣁⣀⣠⣄⣀⣦⣈⣺⣦⣈⣋⣂⣀⣀⣢⣈⣲⣄⣀⣀⣙⣶⣤⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 665 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/20/IRC_Proceedings_Friday_December_19_2025.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/20/IRC_Proceedings_Friday_December_19_2025.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IRC Proceedings: Friday, December 19, 2025⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 20, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Wooden_Fence⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇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.

Developed Only a Software Licence⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 20, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇American_software_programmer_Richard_Stallman⦈_ From page 6, which also spreads the same lie they implanted in Wikipedia (that "LF" is about 25 years old, even if it was really established in 2007 after the ODSL's collapse). It merits mentioning that Wikipedia also engages in revisionism about Wikipedia's own history. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Organizations_like_the_LF_were_established_around_2000_to provide_a_nonprofit⦈_ Dr. Stallman coined the term "Free software" wherein the F word refers to libre, freedom, not price. He also created GNU Emacs, the GNU Project, and lots of other things, not limited to the FSF. His work helped inspire the Web's freedom (Tim Berners-Lee admitted this) and then Wikipedia, not to mention Creative Commons and many other things. The latest_annual_report (made with Windows!) from the Linux_Foundation said: "Richard Stallman developed the GPL license, defining the four freedoms that would become central to our work, and. Linus Torvalds used that GPL to share..." What about GNU? What about GCC? Did Stallman develop GNU? Did he develop GCC, which Linux needed for compiling the source code? Linux didn't emerge out of a vacuum and not only the GPL mattered to its success. Without_GNU's_"userspace", would_Linux_have_taken_off_at_all? Did Stallman "develop [sic] the GPL license"? Is that it? We already criticised this report several times last night. This is what we get for letting Microsoft(ers) hijack the_"Linux"_brand. █ * Impulsive_Writing,_Quotas,_and_Keeping_Things_as_Concise_as_Feasible *

In January of that year it admitted to the media it was (or would be) laying off 10,000 or 11,000 workers. Of course, as usual, the real number was higher. This year a lot of the media keeps talking about 15,000 Microsoft layoffs, even if so far in 2025 Microsoft has laid off over 30,000 people, many of whom were based in China. When I spoke about Microsoft layoffs (routinely) I got very viciously attacked by Microsoft boosters. They'd flood IRC with pornographic links, hate speech, and pro-Microsoft spin, especially each time there were Microsoft layoffs. This is all very well documented. We have all the IRC logs online. In hindsight, a lot of the stuff above (like those pornographic links) was done by a so-called 'trans activist', whom we reported many times to the police. The police agreed with us; being trans does not make it "OK" to commit_crimes_online. We'll write a lot more about this in the future. Microsoft does not have a solid future; it will still exist in the coming years, more or less in the same sense IBM still exists and IBM products are still used in some places. In 2026 (as soon as it starts) there will be plenty more Microsoft layoffs. We'll report on those as well as possible. If people sympathetic towards Microsoft engage in online crimes to suppress our coverage of Microsoft layoffs, we shall again escalate to the relevant authorities. As a side note, we have "slam-dunk" proof (hard evidence) of behind-the-scenes coordination between people who did this. But that will have to wait until next year. █ * My_Humble_Assessment_of_the_Future_of_Red_Hat,_A_Company_That_IBM_is Flushing_Down_the_Loo * 2025_in_Numbers ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠙⣻⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡿⢿⢻⢻⡿⠿⡿⡿⠿⠿⠻⡿⣛⢟⡻⡻⡿⣻⢿⠿⡿⢿⡟⡿⠿⠿⡿⠟⠿⢿⠿⠻⢿⠿⠿⠛⠻⢿⠿⡿⠿⣿⠻⠿⠿⠟⢿⣿⢿⡿⠿⠟⠿⢿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣥⣼⣤⣿⣮⣽⣮⣦⣬⣽⣧⣷⣭⣤⣭⣥⣯⣼⣤⣼⣴⣤⣧⣦⣤⣭⣦⣤⣤⣼⣤⣄⣡⣧⣤⣤⣤⣗⣡⣧⣤⣿⣧⣧⣤⣤⣿⣿⣼⣰⣭⣿⣤⣼⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣵⣾⣶⣮⣿⣿⣷⣿⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⠛⢿⠿⠿⢿⣿⡿⡿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛ ⣿⣿⣤⣼⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣾⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣜⣼⣹⣩⣹⣹⣋⣩⣌⣏⣞⣸⣰⣂⣬⣻⣻⣙⣼⣏⣉⣘⣍⣘⣽⣣⣚⣁⣩⡝⣯⣩⣫⣩⣹⣉⣛⣽⣍⣏⣟⣧⣃⣏⣏⣍⣏⣟⣉⣥⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⠟⠋⠉⡿⠛⠛⠉⢛⠛⠻⠛⠛⠻⣛⠙⢛⠛⢛⢻⠛⠛⠻⣻⠙⢹⠛⡻⠛⡛⠛⢛⠛⡟⡋⡻⢛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣾⣷⣶⣷⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣵⣿⣶⣷⣶⣾⣾⣶⣶⣧⣷⣷⣾⣶⣧⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣿⣶⣷⣾⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣼⣿⣬⣭⣿⣬⣯⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣽ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠦⠼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠙⣿⡙⢩⢻⡛⠛⠟⠋⣻⡯⠍⡯⢽⡏⠟⡛⢟⢻⣏⢻⠛⠛⢛⣿⢻⡟⠙⠛⡻⢻⠉⢛⠛⣿⢛⢻⠙⡛⡟⠙⡏⠛⢛⠛⢉⡙⣍⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1127 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/20/My_Humble_Assessment_of_the_Future_of_Red_Hat_A_Company_That_IB.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/20/My_Humble_Assessment_of_the_Future_of_Red_Hat_A_Company_That_IB.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ My Humble Assessment of the Future of Red Hat, A Company That IBM is Flushing Down the Loo⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 20, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇lo0⦈_ I write my thoughts on this, then they - Fedora and Red Hat folks - attack me and my family (IBM would gas_the_messenger without_qualm) Red Hat was not a large company when I began using GNU/Linux. Red Hat was the first distro that I used. Some people around me wanted to work for Red Hat. Some told me that maybe one day I'd work for Red Hat. In 2006 I ran the "boycott Novell" effort. I wasn't trying to help Red Hat, but at the time to speak out against Novell would likely help Red Hat. Yes, inevitably (whether such a thing was wilful or not). Many whistleblowers in this site, Techrights, are and were Red Hat employees. Some were very senior. No, we won't name them. In a company with so many workers it's quite safe to assume nobody can figure out who they are (or were) anyway, not with sufficient certainty. When IBM bought Red Hat I was concerned not because I disliked IBM (I liked it more than any single company in "GAFAM") but because I saw what IBM had done to other companies it bought. I was then contacted by some people from those companies. They told me the same. They said IBM would ruin Red Hat. One of them said to me that, given the recent track record, it would start about 18 months later (promises broken). Why 18? Who knows... it was just an observation of the past pattern. People experienced this after IBM had bought their employer and then spoke to other victims. Another source told us that the nasty media attacks on Linus Torvalds, attacks which resulted in him taking a long "break" for 'manner training' after a compelled 'apology', were done partly for IBM to lower the acquisition price on Red Hat (notice how the times overlap). Indeed, the media that led those attacks on Torvalds was closely connected to IBM. We wrote about this several times back then. Nowadays I observe non-stop "RAs" (layoffs) at IBM and many are Red Hat layoffs "lumped together" with "IBM". Don't wait to hear of any "Red Hat layoffs" - it'll never happen. Red Hat's site is for IBM's Red Hat products, not a Red Hat company. The bluewashing is nearly complete by now. The mass resignation of high-profile long-timers at Red Hat isn't a coincidence. Some see the writings on the wall and then update/polish their whole resume. Some get pushed out. Some are forced out (not the same). The future of Red Hat does not look good to me. People's old ambitions of "working for Red Hat one day" are antiquated fantasies. Even if one became a "Red Hat employee" (read: IBMer), what future is there really? Dancing around misguided leadership that punishes the innocent and mobs the hyper-productive (with PIPs)? GNU/Linux will be OK without Red Hat, but shaping the future of it matters because we don't want companies like Valve (DRM) to set the agenda. If IBM wants something for "Linux", be sceptical.

They sometimes conflate consumption (such as gadgets) with the simple action of doing something with their bodies, as if without shelling out some money they'll be unable to run outside or do push-ups/sit-ups at home. We recently wrote a number of things about this topic. About 2 months ago while my wife was busy in some boring (to me) store I went to another store and checked out gadgets that were 'smart' wrist-worn "watches". I was astounded by how worthless, stupid, and clunky they were. Some were Garmin, some were not. Some had a "touchscreen", some did not (one had to rely on buttons/dials). Trying to test some use cases on 3-4 of those devices (offered on display) I simply could not see how they would be better than a stopwatch; they'd just take far more time to operate, not to mention heavy batteries that need recharging often. Browsing through menus and more menus and moving dials... just to present some stupid timer. Unbelievably stupid! To be clear, I'm not a Luddite or anti-gadget person. I think my objective/subjective assessment of these things would be shared by many. Today we both went to that same shop again. Some of the "watches" were gone and almost all of them now had touchscreens, so I assume the ones that lacked it didn't sell well and were no longer stocked (or put on display). The conclusions that we - two people, not one - reached were the same. What sort of person would need this or benefit from this? Someone who wants to upload one's trajectory based on GPS? Or keep track of the pulse for some vanity reasons? (That would likely require add-ons, regardless). Gadgets are not bad (per se). Gadgets like these, however, seem worse than useless. All those "smart" watches never truly caught on. Like VR, there were attempts back in the 90s to make them "hip" - attempts that largely failed. The "Tech" industry (with capital T) sometimes feels more like a cult than a solution-building endeavour. Apple convinced many people to grossly overpay for things to signal a belonging to a "class". Garmin et al seem to be trying to emulate this, as if a "smart" thing worn on the wrist is the "new Rolex". █ * Former_Manager_at_IBM_Research_(Yorktown)_Says_Why_IBM_is_Doomed_and_the Anonymous_Tipline_(Speak_Up)_is_a_Trap * My_Humble_Assessment_of_the_Future_of_Red_Hat,_A_Company_That_IBM_is Flushing_Down_the_Loo ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1602 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2025/12/20/Scamfarms_Spamfarms_and_Slopfarms_in_Linux_Clothing.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2025/12/20/Scamfarms_Spamfarms_and_Slopfarms_in_Linux_Clothing.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Scamfarms, Spamfarms, and Slopfarms in "Linux" Clothing⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 20, 2025 Today we took note of linuxbsdos.com publishing yet more casino scam 'articles' packaged up as "Linux" something: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Browser_isolation_for_safer_casino_sessions_in_Linux⦈_ It's not the first time linuxbsdos.com does this.

Never Was)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 20, 2025, updated Dec 20, 2025 To avoid the discussion about Rust getting distorted, diluted, detracted, diverted, derailed, and destroyed by sheer nonsense, let's count some (not all) of the ways in which Rust fails to deliver on its promise. First, let's revisit what Rust promised, at least unofficially and informally. Funded by Google (the lion's share of its revenue), Mozilla developed Rust for a variety of purposes; the most advertised aspect was, "memory safety" and hence security. As a C programmer myself (since ages ago), I can relate to the concern about a lack of safety checks when allocating a chunk of memory and dereferencing objects (or equivalent of that). This problem isn't limited to C, which encourages the use of pointers - a concept that I learned in school almost 30 years ago. What else does Rust promise? Well, not that much really. The "Rust People" (this is how they sometimes refer to themselves) like to talk about aspects such as performance (that means speed, nothing else), but they fail to mention it comes at the expense of other key aspects, such as cross-platform support (including old 32-bit chipsets). In practice, there's also evidence to suggest that in many cases Rust is slower than analogous stuff implemented in C or some other programming languages - some of which have long enjoyed if not relied on mature and well-tested optimisers that Rust lacks*, either runtime accelerators or "off-line" rewriters, set aside compilers (there is no "one C" or "universal C"; C is the language, the compilers that deal with that language produce different binaries and diversity is a strength we must cultivate). 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇[Speed_Limit_Sign]_Rust:_you_can't_go_faster_than_this,_only one_compiler⦈_ So let's assume, for argument's sake, that the only compelling reason to rewrite things in Rust or start new projects with Rust is "security". A black eye for the Rust project has only just become visible, as in Linux - where only a small fraction of the code uses Rust - there was a serious vulnerability tied to Rust. To be clear, a kernel crashing is a very big deal. I am typing this article on a PC that hasn't 'crashed' in 2+ years. Its last reboot was in 2023. Does Rust reduce reliability? Possibly. Let's not come out with a "verdict" on this, at least not yet. Then there's the legal "hairball"; Richard Stallman, whenever asked about Rust, typically goes on and on about the trademark, set aside concerns about the licences that many Rust People favour (not copyleft). So we have legal issues and technical issues with Rust. Set aside the mass censorship, the reliance on (and love of) proprietary Microsoft tools, and Microsoft apologists in charge (we covered this ages ago, long before anyone but us truly criticised Rust). Sure, there are social aspects that concern us, but we don't need to limit the discussion of Rust to that. If we do, then they'll try to collectively dismiss all critics as "for political reasons", whereupon so-called "Rust People" play the "marginalised minority" card and demonise every single critic, even those who have mentioned legal and technical matters for over 5 years already. It's OK to focus a lot less on "Rust People" and instead talk about Rust. There's no lack of arguments against Rust as a framework/language/community. Don't feed the trolls who attack "Rust People" on political grounds. Even if you find what they say to be funny or entertaining, they are a disservice to all Rust critics; they create a misleading caricature of Rust critics. For a more technical or tech-focused (nothing political) critique of Rust, consider the links below. █ ____ * An associate wanted to also link to articles about Rust's poor performance and long compile times, not to mention the ever-changing specs which makes maintenance and durability lacking compared to C. Here are some relevant articles: 1. "Why_is_the_Rust_compiler_so_slow?" 2. Rust_is_a_disappointment 3. Rust_Dependencies_scare_Me 4. Rust_and_C++_on_Floating-point_Intensive_Code 5.

Software Foundation (FSF) Has Already Raised Close to $300,000 This Winter⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 20, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Richard_Stallman,_Sousse_14_février_201⦈_ The Free Software Foundation (FSF) seeks funding from ordinary folks. No longer does the Free Software Foundation take money from GAFAM and IBM. That's a good thing! Last year, after extending the cutoff date, the_FSF_managed_to_reach_the_goal: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇We_surpassed_our_year-end_goal_of_$400,000_USD_thanks_to you!⦈_ It's already looking like the FSF will accomplish the same this year. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇The_Free_Software_Foundation_(FSF)_funding⦈_ Supporting the FSF means supporting not just staff of the FSF (salaries); it means covering hosting bills, supporting online advocacy of the concepts of Free software, and sometimes legal_contributions_(e.g._participation_in_cases) towards_copyleft_enforcement. Just to be very clear, any time I do Free software advocacy I am not 'competing' with the FSF, I try to do my share to help the goals of the FSF. As far as I'm aware, they do appreciate my articles and they treasure our work on this site (all of us). We are doing the best we can to support, GNU, the FSF, and their founder. They're not under attack because they're 'despicable'; they're besieged by despicable corporations and very despicable people, who often_work_for_these_corporations. █ *

Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ Three_Christmas_Songs⠀⇛ I've babbled before about my GarageBand hobby. There's not a lot to add other than my collaborator and I also like writing and recording ridiculous Christmas songs. Merry Christmas. # ⚓ Storms⠀⇛ I changed jobs back in 2022, taking a position that paid less and had fewer ways to increase compensation (OT, annual bonuses, etc). The last year at my last job, I was fortunate enough to get a sizable bonus cheque at the same time that the old Mastercraft snowblower we'd had for a decade decided to kick the bucket. We had it taken away and evaluated: it would cost a lot to repair, and it would still be (sorry, Canadian Tire) a Mastercraft snowblower. So the bonus went into buying a big, two-stage Toro. If you're not familiar with snowblowers, essentially, it's designed to be pushed into large snow drifts and make short work of them. # ⚓ Space_and_SSH⠀⇛ Saturdays are special. They have potential, they are less rushed, they feel so much better. Sundays are good too, but there is a certain Sabbatine relaxation that does not feel good to extend. Saturdays are more forgiving. No one cares if you sleep in until 10 on Saturday. But if you pull that on a weekday, you're a bum (societally speaking). Saturdays are always pregnant with potential. They are magnificent. I would ideally live in a way that every day feels like Saturday. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ THE_TIMEWARP_WEB⠀⇛ I've had various ideas for posts lately but I never quite get around to writing them anymore, which might be for the best since this was never the most productive of my passtimes. Anyway here's one I can easily put together piece-by-piece over a few days... [he says a month ago] The Web is really horrible these days. It wastes your internet data pointlessly at every opportunity, wastes your CPU time via Javascript, tries desperately to learn any scrap of information which might come in handy for manipulating you later, and accuses you of being a robot every other minute. Not to mention it only really works in Web browsers which are funded by Google, and exhibit similar problems of resource wastage and privacy intrusions themselves. Then even if you accept all that and try to play along, they're often coded so badly and rely on so many fragile moving parts that they still won't do what you want, or go down all at once when one of the major Cloud hosts breaks. Once upon a time it was better. Not that much better mind you, the modern Web was after all born from the same forces that brought us "Best viewed in Internet Explorer", "Get Flash", and animated GIF advertisments. But compared to today when half the websites you find won't load without at least some Javascript from any of the twenty different servers each webpage wants to run code from, and the other half are now increasingly AI generated rubbish that tell you everything you already know plus a little nonsense you don't, I think it's all gone downhill fast. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and spending a bit of your time here throughout the year. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Running_a_Factorio_Headless_Server_on_FreeBSD_with_the Linuxulator⠀⇛ Factorio doesn't have a native FreeBSD build, but that doesn't mean you can't run it on FreeBSD. The Linuxulator, FreeBSD's Linux binary compatibility layer, handles Linux ELF binaries seamlessly. This article walks through setting up a Factorio headless server inside a Bastille jail, complete with firewall rules for public access. # ⚓ Lexer⠀⇛ Another way is to use a lexer on the string which in Perl (and elsewhere) often involves using regular expressions to match various bits of the input whilst looping carrying out actions in a little state machine until the input runs out, an error occurs, or an external event terminates the process because it has gone awry somehow, a common fate of buggy lexers, as much can go wrong here. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

While it generally remains hands- off with neutral content, the moment a post that’s critical or even just slightly negative towards projects or companies affiliated with Y Combinator (either directly or indirectly) gains traction, the platform’s moderation team will seemingly step in to significantly limit its reach. Unfortunately, I don’t believe there’s anything the community can do about this, as Hacker News has maintained its position as a leading tech news institution for years, with little competition on the horizon. As search engines continue their decline and are increasingly replaced by similarly censored LLMs, the discoverability of tech content, especially slightly more critical pieces, is likely to become a significant challenge in the future. My only advice is to keep in mind that, whenever you find yourself browsing Hacker News, you’re seeing a curated view of the current tech landscape that won’t necessarily represent the full picture. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ This_Week_In_Security:_PostHog,_Project_Zero Refresh,_And_Thanks_For_All_The_Fish⠀⇛ There’s something immensely satisfying about taking a series of low impact CVEs, and stringing them together into a full exploit.
