European countries need to listen to President Trump and take defence more seriously, especially cybersecurity. My advice to Dr_Amandine_"cryptie"_Jambert is quite simple: if she wants to help Europe faces the challenges ahead, she needs to admit she was fooled by the FSFE_misfits. More importantly, she needs to apologize to those people she fooled and recruited to join the same scam. If Jambert feels bad, it's not because of harassment. It is because she was fooled and she has been used so effectively to fool others too. To clear her conscience, she needs to own up to that and apologize. If she can't make this admission and apology in her own personal context, how can she be effective in her role as an expert in an office of the European Commission. From the Catechism,_paragraph_1847: 1847. "God created us without us: but he did not will to save us without us." To receive his mercy, we must admit our faults. "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1849 Sin is an offense against reason, truth, and right conscience; it is failure in genuine love for God and neighbor caused by a perverse attachment to certain goods. It wounds the nature of man and injures human solidarity. It has been defined as "an utterance, a deed, or a desire contrary to the eternal law." What this tells us is that when Jambert is unable to admit that she was fooled by the FSFE_misfits because of her ego. Ego is frequently a factor in sinful behaviour. The catechism goes on 1859 Mortal sin requires full knowledge and complete consent. It presupposes knowledge of the sinful character of the act, of its opposition to God's law. It also implies a consent sufficiently deliberate to be a personal choice. Feigned ignorance and hardness of heart133 do not diminish, but rather increase, the voluntary character of a sin. What this tells us is that when Jambert and I both became aware of the FSF/FSFE deception in 2017, our continued participation with full knowledge and complete consent would have become mortal sin. I understood and I quickly resigned. Why didn't Jambert? Subject: FSF asking us to change our name II Date: Tue, 23 May 2017 08:39:00 +0000 From: Matthias Kirschner To: ga@fsfeurope.org Dear members, as we wrote in our last mail we have again been approached by the FSF to change our name. Below there is a summary of the situation as well as the proposed next steps. Please let us know if you have any questions. It is longer than I wished for, but we had several new people join the GA since the last time we discussed this. ... Look at the consequences for people who have been fooled by the FSFE_misfits.

In 2016, we received a significant sum from an inheritance where FSFE was the principal heir. The deceased person stated very clearly in the last will that FSFE is expected to not make much noise around this, and we of course respected this. We also received a significant one-time donation from Lars P Mathiassen who is listed on our ThankGNUs page anyway. ... These people ask us to trust them on serious issues such as electronic payments facilitated by blockchain and cryptocurrency. How can we trust Jambert's advice on those topics if she can't even recognize the confusion between FSF and the fake_FSFE_misfits? Dr_Amandine_"cryptie"_Jambert has a PhD in cryptography and a safe government job, previously at CNIL and now at the European Data Protection Board (EDPB). What on earth is the motive for this woman and some associates to lie and attack my family when my father died? Out of coincidence, Pierre-Elliott_Bécue, of the French military cybersecurity office ANSSI obtained his PhD at the same university as Jambert only ten years later. Like Jambert, Bécue has also been observed attacking my family at the time when my father died and immediately after the conviction of the late Cardinal George Pell. The previous blog went_over_the_history_of_the_lies,_making_it_clear_that Jambert_has_always_had_conflicts_of_interest. Nonetheless, for any crime, it is always important to look at the motive in some detail. Cryptography, in general, hopes to solve two main problems. Firstly, you want to make sure that messages are protected from eavesdropping. We call that encryption. Secondly, you want to make sure the person at the other end of the communications channel really is who they claim to be, that is authentication. We often use the fictional characters Alice, Bob, Eve and Mallory to demonstrate these concepts with a diagram. Here, to help Jambert see it in these terms, I've overlaid Jambert, the_real_Richard_Stallman and the fake FSFE president Matthias_Kirschner on top of Alice, Bob & Mallory. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Amandine Jambert, cryptie, EDPB, CNIL, Richard Stallman, RMS, FSF, Matthias Kirschner, FSFE⦈   In a technical sense, we have various ways to solve those encryption and authentication problems using advanced mathematics. The mathematics isn't important in this case. Focus on the second part of the cryptography problem given above, the importance of verifying the authenticity of the person or organization you are corresponding with. In cryptography, our goal is to communicate with the real Bob, or in this case, the_real_Richard_Stallman, founder of the real_FSF. According to_my_previous_blog_about_Jambert's_history, she was recruited to join the_Free_Software_Foundation_Europe_(FSFE)_misfits in 2012. Was she one of many people who were fooled and believed we were joining the FSF and Dr Richard Stallman? Should an expert in authenticating people be able to tell the difference between the FSF and the FSFE at the moment she was fooled to join the fake group, FSFE? For five years from 2012 to 2017, Jambert may have been oblivious to the fact the FSFE_misfits are not really part of the FSF. The FSF decided not to give a public warning so it is understandable that many people remained in the dark. Nonetheless, when this issue was brought to our attention in 2017, in writing, we both became aware of it at the same time. Why was Jambert unable to understand this was a serious problem of identity/impersonation? People have communicated with, done voluntary work for and given money to the fake FSFE misfits believing it is a subsidiary or branch of the real FSF. From 2017, Jambert and I were both aware that people were being fooled. I resigned from the FSFE in disgust in September 2018. Jambert stayed with the group until October 2023 and continues to associate with them in various ways. Jambert's inability to comprehend and respond to this problem of authentication in the real world, even after I made public concerns about it, casts doubt over her own professional competence and her integrity. For example, in July 2018, she participated in the promotional video at Strasbourg to help the Germans recruit more French-speaking victims. In parallel to this, we have the JuristGate scandal in Switzerland. For five years, the Swiss financial regulator, FINMA, appeared to be contemplating whether the company was a law office or an insurance office. During that time, professionals from other insurance companies and even_a_jurist_from_the_Swiss police were fooled to quit their jobs and come and work for the rogue firm. Why was the regulator unable to recognize it for what it was? Back to Jambert, even if she doesn't care about being fooled by the Nigerian fraud, her attacks on my family are utterly selfish. As a member of the public service, why doesn't she take a moment to think about all the other victims of the fraud? How does Dr_Richard_Stallman feel when some other group is using his name to collect money from the public? Jambert's lie has a motive. It looks like she is a woman in denial about her own incompetence, at least with respect to the FSF/FSFE dilemma, on matters of integrity, identity and authentication. As these concepts are fundamental to the practice of cryptography and e-commerce, she is lying to avoid answering further questions about her collusion in the FSF/FSFE deception. As we are confronted with problems such as electronic cryptocurrency payments and artificial-intelligence generated videos, it is more vital than ever that professionals like Jambert need to show the highest level of integrity. Before she can help us with those challenges, she needs to come clean about the FSF/ FSFE dilemma. Things like this happen all the time and when we detect it, we have to be able to recognize what is going on and speak up. Look at the fake_security_company, Crypto_AG that operated for decades in Switzerland. Now everybody knows it was really the CIA and BND. It should be no big surprise that the FSFE_misfits are just another scam. In 2022, a_woman_from_Lyon,_France_was_tricked_to_quit_the_job_she_had_held_for seven_years_and_go_to_work_for_an_illegal_legal_insurance_company_in_Geneva, Switzerland. Even the financial regulator, FINMA, knew about the illegal legal insurance company for_up_to_five_years but a series of tricks stopped them from shutting it down earlier. Look at the analogous case of Dr_Diana_von_Bidder-Senn, the mayor of Basel in Switzerland. Like Jambert, Diana_von_Bidder-Senn has a PhD in cybersecurity from the elite ETH_Zurich. Yet she was unable to recognize that her own husband was being tricked by the social_engineering_attacks that have corrupted Debianism. Subject: Re: condolences for Adrian Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2011 15:02:18 +0200 From: Diana von Bidder To: Stefano Zacchiroli Dear Stefano Thank you for your wonderful mail! Yes Debian and people were very important to Adrian. I was glad that he was not only sitting alone in front of his computer but to know that there are people out there that estimate him and are his friends even if most of you did not know each other personally. The way you describe him (empathy, calm, insight, ... - just the Adrian I know) assures me on how good friends of Adrian are out there. And I will always continue to think of this (in a good way!) when continuing to use debian (which I became quite fond of because of Adrian). It's a pity that he couldn't go to Banja Luca anymore which he did so much look forward to. Anyway, I wish you all the best and hope you continue your good work. - Diana Her husband, Adrian_von_Bidder-Senn died on the very same day Carla and I got married. There appear to be many known victims in the Debian_suicide_cluster who were all tricked. They pretended that Debianism_is_a_family_but_that_is_a trick.

The Central Staff Committee wrote to staff: § Future Orientations on the Salary Adjustment Procedure: Report on the Second and Third Technical Meetings of 19 and 20 January 2026⠀➾ Dear Colleagues, The first technical meeting on the “future orientations on the salary adjustment procedure” took place on 14 January 2026. On 16 January 2026 the administration provided the staff representation with an Excel sheet showing simulations of the new salary adjustment procedure over the 12-year period 2014–2025. A second technical meeting took place on 19 January 2026 to discuss the simulations. The results show a severe loss of purchasing power in double digits for all sites. A third technical meeting took place on 20 January 2026. The staff representation addressed the legal and social risks. Read more in the second meeting report and the third meeting report. We've codified the reports for GemText and text bulletins, aside from HTML. This is the second meeting's report: Zentraler Personalausschuss Central Staff Committee Le Comité Central du Personnel Munich, 27-01-2026 sc26010cp § Future Orientations on the Salary Adjustment Procedure Report on the Second Technical Meeting of 19 January 2026⠀➾ The first technical meeting on the “future orientations on the salary adjustment procedure” took place on 14 January 2026. On 16 January 2026 the administration provided the staff representation with an Excel sheet showing simulations of the new salary adjustment procedure over the 12-year period 2014–2025. The results show a severe loss of purchasing power in double digits for all sites. A second technical meeting took place on 19 January 2026 to discuss the simulations. This paper reports on the content of discussions. ⚓ The EPO departs from basic principles of remuneration⠀⇛ The two basic principles of remuneration policies among International Organisations are: 1) to maintain purchasing power i.e. the value of salaries and benefits, with purchasing power parities (PPPs) measuring the evolution of the prices of goods and services at specific locations relative to a reference (e.g. Brussels indexed on national HICP) 2) to ensure parallelism with wage inflation of civil servants (net of local inflation) via a specific indicator No other International Organisation uses a “financial sustainability” principle on growth of salary mass with an arbitrary reference. ⚓ Loss of purchasing power in two digits⠀⇛ The staff representation pointed out that with such an adjustment formula the salary scales in Belgium are not linked to anything reflecting the evolution of the prices of goods and services at the reference country (i.e. HICP BE). The staff representation repeated that the aim of a salary adjustment procedure is to maintain purchasing power i.e. the value of salaries and benefits. According to the simulations, the new salary adjustment procedure produces over the period 2014–2025 Belgium scales which are –10.8 percentage points below the evolution of HICP BE1. The administration explained the formula for the salary adjustments to arrive at a pre-determined target of an overall growth of salaries equal to Eurozone (EZ) inflation. They acknowledged that although the national inflation parameter for Belgium (HICP BE) is cited in the formula, the value of HICP BE does not impact the final result. The administration argued that the application of the purchasing power parity (PPP) coefficients on the Belgium scale, which by definition are equal to 1 every year, ensures fairness among places of employment. The staff representation repeated that the aim of a salary adjustment procedure is to maintain purchasing power i.e. the value of salaries and benefits. This differs from purchasing power parity, _____ 1 “Salary Erosion Procedure – More erosion from 20262 onwards”, SUEPO Munich paper of 20 January 2026 (su26002mp) ===================================================================== which is a sub-clause intended to ensure equal treatment across different places of employment. A procedure which violates it at the reference country (HICP BE) would violate the principle of maintaining purchasing power for any site. This is confirmed by the calculations showing a loss of purchasing power in double digits for all sites over the period 2014–2025. In addition, if the applied adjustment in one place of employment varies vastly from its reference parameter and the others have to follow, then the methodology can be considered to be unpredictable. ⚓ Decrease of the average growth of salaries from EZ inflation +0.2% to EZ inflation ±0.0%⠀⇛ The staff representation asked the administration to justify why the average growth of salaries should now be further limited from EZ inflation +0.2% to EZ inflation ±0.0%. The administration replied that the Financial Study 2023 highlighted high inflation risks. In their view, having salary adjustments linked to inflation constitutes a financial risk and this risk should be limited. The administration added that any chosen salary adjustment procedure may cause problems and consider the procedure they propose to be acceptable. The staff representation replied that this argument cannot be followed, since this method specifically follows the EZ inflation, and again reiterated the request for justification for the increase in cuts in long-term liabilities at the expense staff, to no avail. Staff representation pointed out that high inflation is already offset through fee indexation, making additional cuts on salaries unnecessary. Furthermore, it was emphasised that if high inflation is to be considered a risk, then the specific indicator is the right indicator to preserve. The specific indicator smoothens the adjustments by ensuring that wage evolution remains in parallel with government decisions on civil service pay. While it is true that any chosen salary adjustment procedure may cause problems, some cause much more problems than others. ⚓ Safeguard clause for limiting adjustments in case EZ inflation is high⠀⇛ The administration justified the introduction of a safeguard clause by the need to prevent double- digit adjustments in a single year. The Office calculates liabilities by taking account of the real increase (i.e. on top of inflation) of salaries and this has an immediate and visible impact on the balance sheet. According to them, the EPO stakeholders might then perceive that the Office is unable to control its liabilities. The staff representation pointed out that the new procedure brings higher results than the underlying methodology only in 2022 and 2023, which were exceptional years of Covid and invasion of Ukraine during which inflation spiked. However, the comparison over the 12-year period shows that the trend is a very clear reduction of the adjustments. When asked what was being considered regarding the design of the safeguard clause, the administration explained that it could consist of a postponement of all/part of the salary adjustment or a permanent cancellation of part of the adjustment replaced with a one-off payment in cash. The staff representation answered that the “safeguard clause” makes the promise of EZ inflation guarantee void as it seems to be just another “sustainability clause” with a different name bringing about another layer of cut of the adjustments. ⚓ Benchmark with civil servants and other International Organisations⠀⇛ The administration stated that ESA and CERN have lower salaries than at the Office, and that the OECD introduced a third pension scheme and third salary grids for its newcomers. They added that not all companies index their salaries with inflation and that national civil servants do not have the “nominal guarantee” clause the EPO has. The staff representation replied that the new salary adjustment procedure would further widen the gap in terms of salary adjustments with the Coordinated Organisations (COOs) and the European Union (EU) institutions. ESA remains at the higher end of COO levels because it also recruits scientists and engineers. ESA salaries remain comparable to EPO salaries for younger staff but ===================================================================== the ESA does not have a career system blocking advancement and has a proper salary adjustment procedure. CERN is primarily a research centre with mostly temporary staff and does pay slightly lower salaries but it does have a proper salary adjustment procedure. After the last 6-year period 2020–2025, EPO salary adjustments in the Netherlands are now severely lagging behind the evolution of national civil servants2. The staff representation asked for the salary scales of other International Organisations on which the Office bases its benchmark and their analysis as to how EPO jobs (e.g. in DG1) can be considered to be comparable. The administration declined to offer any justification of their claims related to salary levels of other organisations, or any mapping of roles and grade ranges, and suggested we search for them ourselves. ⚓ Counter-proposal from the staff representation⠀⇛ The staff representation proposed that the Office revert to the historical underlying methodology or adopts the methodology of the EU insofar that the Office could apply a filter over it such as a “moderation clause” acting on the contribution of the specific indicator that under certain circumstances would postpone a part of the adjustment. The administration considered that such proposals have very low chances to be approved by the Contracting States in the Council. The staff representation insisted on the fact that the EU methodology has been in place since 2014 and was agreed upon by 27 Contracting States. This demonstrates a guarantee of legal certainty and evidences sustained acceptance at Contracting State level. The EU methodology was even confirmed for a second 10-year term despite Brexit. Brexit put real financial pressure on the EU (and not fictional problems that the EPO supposedly has). ⚓ Alleged prudent approach vs excessive savings⠀⇛ The administration recalled that the Office has adopted a policy of lowering the “risk appetite” that was reflected in the Actuarial Study 2025, and this implies limiting risks on salary adjustments. The staff representation replied that the policy of lowering the risk appetite is reflected already on the decrease of the discount rate (expected returns on RFPSS investments), which causes a historically high increase of pension contributions as of January 20263. The argument of applying a “risk appetite” now on staff adjustments does not hold and staff would be penalized twice. The staff representation found the administration’s arguments on risks very confusing. Investment risk refers to the exposure to equities of a fund. De-risking refers specifically to moving a strategic asset allocation from relying heavily on equities to less volatile options like bonds. This discussion has nothing to do whatsoever with reducing costs and is absolutely not relevant to discussions on real-term salary cuts. The staff representation stressed that an additional reform increasing the savings of the Office by a further 1.4B€ might trigger the Contracting States to ask for their share of it by e.g. requesting a change of the distribution key of renewal fees in their favour. Currently, the EPO is in an excellent financial situation. If salary adjustments are not decent in good times, how will they be in bad times? _____ 2 Comments on GCC/DOC 23/2025, par. 108 3 “Pay cut in Germany –1.0% and Austria –0.6% as of 1 January 2026: Work more for less at the EPO”, CSC paper of 9 October 2025 (sc25060cp) ===================================================================== ⚓ Mandate given by the President to Compensation and Benefits⠀⇛ The staff representation inquired about the mandate given by the President to Compensation and Benefits. The administration replied that the mandate includes “financial sustainability” and “maintaining purchasing power as far as possible”. The staff representation expressed its regrets that the President could give such a mandate. Maintaining purchasing power is an essential principle of remuneration policy. Either it is respected or it is not respected. It is bad for the future of the Office to erode salaries and benefits. The EPO would ultimately lose its competitiveness on the job market. ⚓ Conclusion⠀⇛ In the Communiqué of 16 January 2026, the Office announced its initial orientations for 2027 on the new salary adjustment procedure. The Communiqué tries to shed a positive light on the reform by pretending that the aim is to “prevent salary decrease in times of crises (the so-called nominal guarantee)” and “focus on protecting purchasing power”. Both statements are wrong. First, the nominal guarantee is not a crisis clause. The nominal guarantee usually arises because of temporary differences in costs of living evolution (i.e. PPPs) between Brussels and the EPO sites. Second, the proposal absolutely does not protect purchasing power. The simulations show a clear loss of purchasing power in double digits across all sites. The Office communication is misleading and shows a lack of understanding of the historical underlying methodology. The staff representation is very concerned that in this context, the Office would again severely depart from the basic principles of remuneration and attempt to reinvent the wheel with untested vague mechanisms bearing significant legal risks. The next Technical Meetings on the “future orientations on the salary adjustment procedure” are foreseen to take place on 20 and 28 January 2026. The Central Staff Committee This is the third meeting's report: Zentraler Personalausschuss Central Staff Committee Le Comité Central du Personnel Munich, 27-01-2026 sc26011cp § Future Orientations on the Salary Adjustment Procedure Report on the Third Technical Meeting of 20 January 2026⠀➾ The simulations of the new salary adjustment procedure over the 12- year period 2014−2025 show a severe loss of purchasing power in two digits for all sites. A third technical meeting took place on 20 January 2026. This time, the staff representation addressed the legal and social risks. This paper reports on the content of discussions. ⚓ The EPO departs from basic principles of remuneration⠀⇛ The two basic principles of remuneration policies among International Organisations are: 1) to maintain purchasing power i.e. the value of salaries and benefits, with purchasing power parities (PPPs) measuring the evolution of the prices of goods and services at specific locations relative to a reference (e.g. Brussels indexed on national HICP) 2) to ensure parallelism with wage inflation of civil servants (net of local inflation) via a specific indicator No other International Organisation uses a “financial sustainability” principle on growth of salary mass with an arbitrary reference. ⚓ Legal risks⠀⇛ During the meeting, one of the major topics addressed by staff representation was the legal risks identified on the methodology proposed by the administration: First, the proposal abolishes the historical principle of parallelism with civil servants (i.e. specific indicator). According to ILOAT jurisprudence, there may be no right to parallelism, however there should be good reasons to diverge from it. The proposal seems to replace it with a 'guarantee', and this guarantee is EZ inflation. This is an inadequate replacement as it is completely unrelated to any wage inflation. In any healthy economy, wage inflation is higher than price inflation (HICP). This is why International Organisations use a separate measure of wage growth as an element in their salary adjustment procedure. In addition, the fees of the EPO are not even adjusted on the basis of EZ inflation but on EU inflation. There is therefore no strict causal link as to why EZ inflation should be used, nor why it is necessary as a strict limit. Second, “stability” is an essential principle of a salary adjustment procedure. The proposal contains a “review clause” to potentially give even less than EZ inflation in only three years’ time and a “safeguard clause” to further limit the adjustments in case EZ inflation is deemed 'too high'. Both are in contradiction with the principle of stability. The ILOAT jurisprudence indicates that the results of a salary adjustment method are to be stable, foreseeable and clearly understood. A procedure cannot be simply stopped if the results are subjectively considered 'too high'. Third, the proposal will produce an extra 1.4B€ savings on long-term liabilities on top of the 2B€ already planned with the 2020 reform. There is no financial justification for additional savings. The EPO would breach ILOAT jurisprudence which states that “the goal of achieving savings does not ===================================================================== in itself constitute a valid reason for depriving staff of a salary adjustment to which they are entitled.”1 Fourth, in the proposed adjustment formula the salary scales in Belgium are not linked to anything reflecting the evolution of the prices of goods and services at the reference country such as national inflation (HICP BE). While calculation steps include HICP BE, the latter is neutralized and has no impact on the final result. Only EZ inflation has an impact. However, EZ inflation is calculated on a much broader territory including 20 other countries. The Office is taking again legal and financial risks to design a salary adjustment procedure with no equivalent in any other International Organisation. Following the unanimous opinion of the Appeals Committee, in favour of staff on the 2020 salary adjustment reform, the Office had to provision 2 B€2 to financially cater for legal risks. The administration denied any obligation from the Office to provision 2B€ as confirmed by the external auditors and said that it was solely a prudent approach. The staff representation noted that accounting standards require prudence on legal risks and this is not a choice the Office can make. The administration considered that this meeting is not the appropriate forum to discuss legal risks but added that the New Career System and the Invalidity Reform were found legal by the Tribunal. They took note that the staff representation disagrees with the proposed reform. However, they claimed that the Council would not consider a return to the historical underlying methodology, even despite the excellent financial situation of the EPO. They suggested that if the staff representation considers EZ inflation to be not the right parameter, then EU inflation (like for the fees) could be an option to find an agreement with staff. They noted the coming industrial actions. They concluded that they would try to shape a salary adjustment procedure which is politically acceptable for the Council and socially acceptable for staff. ⚓ Counterproposals from the staff representation⠀⇛ The staff representation recalled that the Council complained the most when the Office proposed high salary adjustments, due to flaws of the current method giving 3 years-worth of adjustments in one year, and the economic situation did not justify it. One way to mitigate the issue is to keep the parallelism with national civil servants. There is a delay of 1,5 years between the date the civil servants receive their adjustment and the date of application of the EPO adjustment taking these into account via the parallelism principle. This delay could be shortened in order to avoid such complaints by the Council. The adjustment of civil servants is the result of the decision of the governments of 8 reference countries represented in the Council. If these governments decide not to adjust the salaries of their civil servants, then the EPO adjustments follow in parallel and vice versa. The sooner such national adjustments are passed on to EPO staff, the easier it should be for the Council to follow. The staff representation repeated the proposal to revert to the historical underlying methodology and to adopt some elements of the methodology of the EU. A solution could be a “moderation clause” acting on the contribution of the specific indicator that would under certain circumstances postpone a part of the adjustment. Staff representation further stressed the necessity to have legally tested and proven mechanisms in line with other International Organisations, and the principles of stability and foreseeability. The administration noted that the proposal to moderate the specific indicator was already formulated by the staff representation 6 years ago. They asked whether the proposal would correspond to the moderation clause of the EU. In their view, this might not be accepted by the Council and they already have expectations for which direction some Contracting States might go. _____ 1 Comments on GCC/DOC 23/2025, par. 63 2 “Salary adjustment method: Opinion of the Appeals Committee and reaction of the Office”, Communiqué of 13 June 2024 ===================================================================== The staff representation noted that trying to please the German delegation is not worth the price of social unrest. Upper management already acknowledged that no matter what the Office proposes, Germany would be against it. The administration asked for a detailed written proposal from the staff representation and to provide it within one week before the technical meeting of 28 January 2026. The staff representation replied that it already provided skeletons of counterproposals. The Office is the one having all the necessary data for making further simulations. Staff representation could only work on the details with the administration if good faith is shown and cutting is not a prerequisite. ⚓ Lack of financial justification⠀⇛ The staff representation repeated that the EPO is in an excellent situation in terms of productivity, production and finances. The EPO achieved better than the best scenarios quoted by the Mercer consultants. Staff cannot accept a further erosion of their salaries. The administration denied having ever said that the problems identified in the Financial Study 2019 were now solved. While the Office is in a much better position, the Office should remain careful with its liabilities for several reasons: 1) markets returns are not in the hands of the Office, 2) nor is inflation either, and 3) the non-replacement of 500 staff members might have to be reversed in case the Office needs to recruit. The staff representation disagreed and reminded that the Office already created funds and multiple financial buffers to cover risks. The pension schemes are funded; buffers cover markets crashes and even one buffer allows for the closure of the Office for one year. These buffers will fill up even more. Market returns are currently way above the discount rate. The pension contributions will rise as of January 2026 to the highest level ever seen. The administration’s attempt to link the reform of the salary adjustment procedure to any necessary financial measure is clearly misleading. The administration replied that adjustments above EZ inflation introduces volatility in the calculation of liabilities. The aim is to put a frame on the evolution of the liabilities so that they remain in a corridor. Otherwise, the Office will have to do a reform to reduce the benefits. The staff representation pointed out that when inflation rises so do the fees and there is hence no additional risk. The administration replied that several Contracting States including Germany consider the EPO work package to be too high. While the Office needs such a work package to find examiners working in three languages, Contracting States consider the difference with national civil servants and other International Organisations to be not justified. The staff representation reminded that the EPO needs examiners from all Contracting States (including those with high cost of living), mastering the three official languages of the EPO, in addition to their native language. The candidates shall preferably hold a PhD and/or have experience in the industry or R&D in all technical fields (including niche fields). 500 more staff members would not just bring costs. They would bring skills and examine patents, and therefore bring income. The liabilities are minimal as they would be NPS members. The staff representation pointed out that the performance of the RFPSS is not based on EZ inflation but German CPI. The fund has not only achieved its target and the benchmark but even overachieved both of them. The idea to reduce the performance by reducing the risk and buying for example German bonds is a weird one. ===================================================================== The administration explained that the strategic asset allocation of the RFPSS has not changed yet and remains risky for a fund which should cover liabilities. Donald Trump is also a risk as he has an impact on the macroeconomic environment. In 2022, the RFPSS saw a loss of −28%, which is a huge amount. The impact would be even higher should it happen this year. The staff representation reminded that most staff stay at least 20 years in the Office and remember the past. The losses actually amounted in 2022 to –13.72% only3. The RFPSS has always largely recovered from market crashes and the Office has already set aside a 1 B€ market crash buffer fund. The administration added that the financial gap identified by Mercer in the Financial Study 2019 was now covered. However, this should be viewed as a snapshot. Over the long-term, the Office needs to be cautious in order to protect the work package. The administration said they try their best but have constraints. The staff representation repeated that the Financial Study 2019 looked at the long-term. The proposed reform slows down the salary adjustments considerably more than planned and the savings will be much higher. The Financial Study was already prudent and now there will be yet another layer of prudence. By analogy, if a car drives on the highway and decides to slow down to 5 km per hour, this is not a prudent approach, it is reckless. The current proposal does not protect the work package but severely erodes it. ⚓ Erosion of salaries and benefits⠀⇛ The staff representation referred to the SUEPO publication4 made in the morning and showing striking comparison histograms. The loss of purchasing power is in two digits among all places of employment. Over the 12-year period 2020−2025, the reference country Belgium remains −10.8 percentage points below national HICP and the difference is then spread via the purchasing power parities to all sites. EPO staff may not be familiar with the principle of parallelism with civil servants, but they understand purchasing power very well. If Compensation and Benefits does not have a mandate from the President to maintain purchasing power, then there is a serious problem. EPO staff have worked hard to significantly increase the productivity of the Office, and in return they have been rewarded with a decrease in purchasing power rather. The administration replied that they understood that the role of the staff representation is to protect the package of staff. However, they alleged that politically the Office had no control over how productivity increases should benefit staff. In view of the pressure of the Council, they could not propose a method giving results above national inflation (HICP). The staff representation noted that the proposed methodology causes a long-term and systematic erosion of the salaries and benefits. This is not acceptable for staff especially in the lower grades. They already have less recognition of experience, slower career, are asked to make double-digit increases in productivity in one year. Staff representation noted that the alternatives are then that either the Office erodes the benefits or it will have to cut the benefits. For the staff representation, none of them is justified, legal or acceptable. Staff representation asked again if the administration wants to maintain purchasing power or not. The administration replied that the question is not about what they want or not. _____ 3 RFPSS/SB 61/22 4 “Salary Erosion Procedure – More erosion from 20262 onwards”, SUEPO Munich paper of 20 January 2026 (su26002mp) ===================================================================== ⚓ Conclusion⠀⇛ The third technical meeting showed no progress in the discussions. The mandate given by the President to his services is obviously a major issue. The administration promised to send minutes of the previous meetings and intends to discuss the “safeguard clause” further limiting the adjustments in case EZ inflation is too high – a red flag for the staff representation. The next Technical Meeting on the “future orientations on the salary adjustment procedure” is foreseen to take place on 28 January 2026.

Chaff Like "Quantum" and "Hey Hi" (Nothing Material to Show)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 28, 2026, updated Jan 28, 2026 We're still seeing layoffs and an exodus (e.g. "More_People_Exit_Red_Hat,_Join Amutable"). 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Today(28 Jan 2026) marks my last working day at IBM, and it comes with mixed emotions⦈ About an hour from now IBM will announce so-called 'results' (the scare quotes are used for a reason). It'll combine numbers from acquired companies, so the numbers don't tell the full story, nor are they properly audited by independent outsiders. The latter problem isn't unique to IBM; it's a Wall Street thing. IBM insiders (one can tell they work or worked there until recently) are mocking_IBM's_own_offerings: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇What current leading tech does IBM have to showcase so as to justify participating in Davos ? CICS , DB2 ? Maiframe , gimme a break⦈ This one speaks of "dismal"_offerings: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇IBM recent offerings are dismal. Customers locked in mainframe platform pay high premiums. POWER is in disarray. POWER was handed to the Indians (both Hardware and Software). Customers on POWER are fleeing to other platforms, since IBM can no longer justify high premiums with no innovation and mediocrity.⦈ A short while ago somebody_spoke_of_the_culture_inside_IBM_(unlike_what_Red_Hat used_to_be): "Gave me much relief I am not the only one feeling and experiencing this at IBM. I attend the Albany Research center in New York and the location is entirely run on politics. Nepotism, cronyism and favoritism rule the site. It’s run by a small group that has been in charge since the beginning. Merit and hard work and accomplishments mean little here what matters most is if you are one the favorites. It seems the locations intended is for personal gain of small group and their acolytes and not for semiconductors." Another person rightly speaks of a "Ponzi" scheme. IBM's debt_is_fast-growing. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Gave me much relief I am not the only one feeling and experiencing this at IBM.

Vice-President Steve Rowan and the Hidden Alicante Connection is a Big Deal⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 28, 2026, updated Jan 28, 2026 (Previously [1, 2, 3, 4,

EUIPO_in_Alicante was published_yesterday. As explained in the article, Rowan was the head of the UK delegation on the EUIPO Management Board in 2018. At that time Campinos was executive head of the EUIPO and was busy campaigning for the position as EPO President. There is currently no concrete information as to whether or not Rowan played any role in lobbying for the UKIPO to support Campinos as the successor to Battistelli or what role if any Campinos might have played in Rowan's subsequent selection and appointment as EPO Vice-President. But it is clear that Rowan and Campinos would have had professional dealings with each other at the EUIPO prior to Campinos moving from the EUIPO to the EPO. On that basis, it's legitimate to speculate that Rowan may have further unrevealed connections to the "Alicante Mafia". It's worth noting that Rowan's domain of expertise at the UKIPO was in the area of trademarks and registered designs. He had no identifiable involvement with patents and was never on the UK delegation to the Administrative Council of the EPO. So it is somewhat surprising that he was appointed as Vice-President in charge of the "patent granting process" at the EPO in 2019. It's not just him, either. The_President_and_Vice-Presidents_all_lack background_in_the_job_they're_meant_to_do. The EPO is a den of corruption, nepotism, and even cocaine. Nobody_wants_to even_talk_about_it. They try_to_hide_it. They censor_the_staff. We'll soon take a closer look at Ernst. The EPO has guidance on age of appointees; but the_"Mafia" is of course exempted. Next month we'll deal with people who met Campinos are convinced he does (or did) cocaine. We'll also discuss antisemitism in the "Alicante Mafia". █ * Over_at_Tux_Machines... * Amandine_Jambert_(EDPB/CNIL/FSFE),_motive_for_lying,_trust_in_blockchain and_encryption ⢰⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣠⣌⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠷⢂⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⣉⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⠶⠌⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠶⣾⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⢿⣿⣇⢨⣽⣫⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠇⠐⡒⢂⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠹⡾⠺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠆⠰⠶⢿⠿⢿⣿⣷⡜⠬⢻⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣿⣿⠋⣵⣦⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⡛⢸⣿⣏⡔⢫⡶⡝⣿⡿⠀⣻⡃⠀⣆⢠⡽⣿⢫⣥⡍⠞⠷⠇⣿⡏⣤⡌⢻⣿⣿⠛⢉⡁⠀⢐⠂⠀⣘⣿⣷⢩⡀⡀⠀⠀⠈⠁⣜⣛⡊⣿⢱⣶⡶⢹⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⣿⠃⠸⣟⡻⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⠟⠿⠃⣯⣯⡄⠿⣿⠃⢸⣿⠇⣿⡇⠀⢻⠃⠀⠐⠒⠛⢷⢰⣸⡆⣠⠈⡀⠻⠀⢟⣿⠈⣿⠃⠀⣭⣯⡀⠃⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⣽⣝⣤⣀⠀⠀⠀⢻⡿⠃⢸⣞⣟⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿ ⢐⣯⣄⣀⣿⡀⢀⣺⣿⣿⡿⣿⣏⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⠁⠀⢸⣀⣜⣿⣤⢸⣷⠆⠐⠓⠀⢀⡍⢉⠸⢸⠶⠬⠟⠑⠓⠁⠀⠐⠆⠀⠀⠀⠄⠩⠿⠁⠀⠀⠴⠾⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣷⣧⣀⣨⣿⣀⣀⡁⠔⡿⠏⠈⠙⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠋⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⡆⠘⡆⠀⣬⣿⣣⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⡟⠀⠠⠀⠀⢡⠺⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣽⣿⣿⠇⡏⢭⠉⢿⡇⣠⠃⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠐⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⡇⠀⢀⣲⣽⣿⣿⣦⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠠⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⣿⢿⡿⠀⠃⠆⠀⢸⡇⢿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡿⡇⠠⠿⣿⢻⡇⠸⠃⠀⢸⣿⡄⣿⣿⣻⡛⠋⠉⠀⠀⢀⠀⡠⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣇⠀⠇⡇⠁⠀⢇⠂⡸⠨⡨⠀⢸⠸⢸⠸⡨⢸⠀⠇⠀⣿⣿⣇⠀⣀⡀⠀⠘⣇⢈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢻⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⢼⣿⠿⠂⠛⢻⣧⣴⣶⡶⣿⣗⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣯⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⡄⠘⠃⠀⠀⣿⠻⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀ ⣿⣿⣿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⢸⣟⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠺⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠥⠄⠀⠀⠀⢨⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠟⠉⣾⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣷⡀⠣⠀⠀⢸⣟ ⠻⢿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⠀⠀⣀⡀⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠞⣛⠍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢠⠀⠦⣸⢀⢴⢰⢰⢐⢸⠀⠀⠀⡖⢰⢰⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠛⣿ ⣀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⡏⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣀⣀⣴⣦⡄⣾⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣷⠀⠀⠀⠁ ⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠗⡀⠀⠢⣸⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠁⠀⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⡄⠀⢙⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡇⣰⡦⢠⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣤⣾⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠛⠛⠋⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡤⠀⢸⣿⣇⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠘⠁⠀⠸⢻⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⡏⣿⢻⣿⠇⠀⣶⣤⣶⣾⠀⢸⡇⢀⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀ ⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⡿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡆⠰⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⠀⢸⠀⠀⠀⢠⣆⢻⡇⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣾⣿⡇⠸⠀⠈⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀ ⣿⣷⡀⢀⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢹⣿⣿⠄⠀⠀⢘⡧⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⠡⠀⠠⢸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠺⠀⠃⠀⠸⠿⠊⠃⠉⠙⢿⡇⠀⢿⣿⡏⢹⣇⠀⠀⠀⠷⡾⠇⠀⣿⣿⣭⣆⡀⠀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀ ⣀⣸⣿⢿⣏⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡀⠈⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣤⣴⣏⣿⣛⣻⣛⣷⡆⠀⠘⠉⠛⣿⣇⣀⣤⣠⣶⣶⣿⣅⣀⣤⣶⣶⣶⣷⣟⣄⣉⠁⠛⢃⣠⣤⣦⣤⣤⡤⡀⠒⣹⣿⣇⣀⣀⣉⣸⣿⣿⣿⢿⠏⠀⡀ ⣿⣿⣷⣦⣥⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣷⣦⣤⣴⣶⡘⢌⣿⡿⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣤⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠲⢆⠁⢬ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠁⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2430 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/01/28/Upcoming_Techrights_Series_About_the_Experiences_of_EPO_Insider.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/01/28/Upcoming_Techrights_Series_About_the_Experiences_of_EPO_Insider.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Upcoming Techrights Series About the Experiences of EPO Insiders⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 28, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇A photo of Ion Brumme⦈ Some time soon we'll wrap up our current EPO series [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14] (probably around the day of the first_major_strike or very shortly after that). Then we'll start another new series. February commences and it's the month of lovers, a month of hope - and possibly hype - ahead of spring. Will EPO workers find redemption? Will EPO management be ousted en masse? We hope so. We'll start the new series some time next week; it'll overlap several other series, including one_about_SLAPPs (some_of_the_culprits_already_flee_the scene) and one that we're going to mention shortly. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Unified Patent Court: Illegal and unconstitutional⦈ * Links_28/01/2026:_Microsoft_Ordered_to_Stop_Spying_on_School_Children, Apple's_Brand_Tarnished_by_Its_Complicity_With_Human_Rights_Abusers * Upcoming_Techrights_Series_About_the_Public_Appearances_of_Richard_M.

It'll focus on a hired gun, who is named in the_above_article. The SRA has demonstrated nothing but considerable incompetence at many levels. We'll discuss many ways in which the SRA's failure to do what it was supposed to do affected us and how it is moreover failing women. It seems like a widespread trend, based on the new report. We'll also share plenty of material evidence while protecting (hiding) the identity of SRA staff. Just because the SRA is dysfunctional doesn't mean we need to point a finger at_individual_staff (we never did before). When Law360 says "Iain Wilson, managing partner of Brett Wilson and the vice- chair of the Society of Media Lawyers, which represents lawyers working in the space" it basically reveals that the Society of Media Lawyers is led by vicious, malicious hired guns, not by legal professionals who follow the law. Brett_Wilson_LLP_was_breaching_Civil_Procedure_Rules_many_times_and_even admitted_this. The UK's law needs fixing.

Stallman (RMS) in the United States⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jan 28, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Bruce_Perens,_one_of_the_founders,_Open_Source_Software Movement⦈_ His latest_talk was a successful act of defiance (some people tried to obstruct it, but not_the_FSF) Our very long 2025 series about the Open Source Initiative (OSI) isn't exactly over, but the OSI is headless and has been headless for nearly 4 months already, so we generally decided to pause back in September. In a sense, we accomplished the goal of raising awareness; the chief leaving (or getting the boot) is a symptom of that. Next, we plan to drop all pretences about "Open Source" and instead focus on Software Freedom, seeing that the main speaker for the OSI (in_events and in the Web site) is a Microsoft operative salaried by Microsoft. He's a GitHub (proprietary) operative who only pretends to serve the OSI. He's like an occupier. If the health of "Open Source" is to be judged by the state of the OSI, then "Open Source" is morbidly ill if not already dead as a concept. Many people out there still equate "Open Source" with Microsoft GitHub, which is actually proprietary and actually a copyright-violating_plagiarism_blender that poses_a_risk_to_the_very_notion_or_existence_of_"Open_Source". 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Vibe coding may be hazardous to open source⦈ Next month we plan to write a new series about_the_EPO and also about SLAPPs against_us. Moreover, as promised, we'll get politicians involved and it looks like some_of_the_culprits_already_flee_the_scene, knowing how bad things that they had done and possibly didn't like (in hindsight at least) would become a major liability to them, maybe a career ender. Doing the SLAPP series in parallel with the Stallman (RMS) series makes sense. Because the same elements can be found in both, notably attempts to 'cancel' people for merely discussing "difficult" subjects. Or for upsetting rich people's agenda/s, such_as_back_doors. Over time people will see that honest and humble people - not_deplorable_incels who_leverage_like_a_million_bucks_of_outside_funding_(some_of_it_from Microsoft) - are the real victims. Apparently talking about monopolies and abuses of monopolies makes not only one a target but also one's spouse, parents etc. The same people who did this to me did the same to Stallman, to Bruce Perens, and several other high-profile people. Together, victims can combat the patterns of Ritual_Defamation. The real issue is the abuses (and abusers), not people who talk about the abuses (and abusers). █ Image credit: OpenUK (we've meanwhile noticed that perens.com is down and/or not functioning (for

First, mass-wise I have now reached a new set point of about 66 kg or so. Often the problem is that I have gotten back to the point where I eat too much, usually at all-you-can-eat hot pots as they are fairly cheap and available all the time. It is especially appropriate for this kind of season where it is sometimes cold. I have been diagnosed with gingivitis. Although I don't think my dentist put it together, (she blamed something on genetics) I think it has something to do with the immunosuppressants that I have been taking for my Crohn's. A cursory search in Google informed me that it's not an absolutely bonkers relationship where Crohn's and gingivitis are related, but it never got brought up. I've never really been good at keeping my teeth and I have never flossed ever, but that has changed now. I may think of doing a deep cleaning later during the year because of this. # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_ABILMXO_Wordo:_BECKS⠀⇛ o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ FlatCube_NES_Port_Finished⠀⇛ I have been hard at work this last week and a half on the NES port of FlatCube. For context of what FlatCube is, I wrote a post back in November mentioning I had created a game for the Playdate called FlatCube. # ⚓ 🖋️_Why_I_still_write_on_the_Small_Web_in_2026⠀⇛ Gemini is not where most people are. That's part of the point. I write here because nothing competes with the text. No layout decisions. No images asking for attention. Just words, in order. [...] I don't know who reads this. I don't need to. There are no metrics to check. I could implement something to track pageviews and so on, but, I don't want to. No reason to optimize. If someone finds a post, it's because they were looking. # ⚓ Creality_Promises_a_"Closed-Loop_Filament_Workflow"_with the_Shredder_R1_and_Filament_Maker_M1⠀⇛ Rapid manufacturing and prototyping firm Creality has announced two upcoming products aimed at reducing the environmental impact of fused filament fabrication: the Shredder R1 and Filament Maker M1, for recycling waste into new filament. "Filament is no longer something you buy and throw away," the company promises of the impact of its upcoming devices. "It becomes something you control — on your desk. "Two machines. One closed-loop filament workflow. Built to sit beside your 3D printer. Leverage an integrated workflow to reclaim raw waste as precision pellets and extrude them into premium 3D printing filament." # ⚓ vi_things_the_Romans_have_done_for_us⠀⇛ A no-op substitute command can be used (perhaps in longer documents that have gone on for too long, as they are wont to do, especially when there is no editor involved. That's a human editor, those semi- mythical heroes who would cleanup the prose, ask for clarifications, keep the whole bloody thing from not going on for too long, do spelling and grammar corrections, etc. Obviously editors were first on the chopping block when pennies were pinched, and by the way American workers (those poor sods) recently took home the least amount of Capital since 1947, presumably because their shift keys were borked, or something. Doubtless we need Irving Finkel to, using one of his tablets, summon zombie Roosevelt who can head-lock and face-punch Jack Welch until the droll deed is done. Also I had some nice pu'er tea this morning) to find the last blank line. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Today I come to you with a little request. I don't really know how to do this, since I hardly even use the web anymore. But if somebody were to do it, it may just be a nice thing. You know one of those crowdfunding sites? Why not create a crowdfunded reward for the capture, dead or alive, of the orange emperor, you know, the pedophile, that guy? # ⚓ Alex_Schroeder’s_Diary_—_Episode_57⠀⇛ o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Particle_Comes_Full_Circle,_Becomes_Part_of_Digi_—_Whose XBee_Inspired_the_Company's_Founding⠀⇛ Internet of Things (IoT) specialist Particle has announced that it has been acquired by Digi International — the very company that inspired chief executive officer and founder Zach Supalla to create Particle in the first place. "Imagine you’re a bright-eyed, bushy-tailed 27- year-old entrepreneur who wants to build a smart lightbulb in 2012. Where do you start? There was exactly one option available: the XBee from Digi," Particle's Zach Supalla recalls. "While the XBee got me off the ground, it was designed for local communications over a Zigbee network. I wanted to connect my product to Wi-Fi and control it remotely via a cloud service and developer API [Application Programming Interface]. I swapped out the XBee for a Wi-Fi chip and quickly discovered that nobody had greased the skids for Wi-Fi and cloud-connected devices the way Digi had for Zigbee. After the lightbulb project crashed and burned, we pivoted to build exactly that product: the Spark Core, heavily inspired by Digi's XBee." # ⚓ Rishabh_Jain's_AirMIDI_Is_a_Simple,_Four-Component_MIDI Theremin-Style_Contactless_Instrument⠀⇛ Maker Rishabh Jain, also known as "Mr_Electronaut," has designed a MIDI controller with a difference: inspired by the classic theremin, it doesn't require you to touch it in order to play music. "As a long-time music lover, I've always been fascinated by how performers connect with their instruments," Jain explains. "Whether it's a guitarist bending strings, a pianist flowing across keys, or a DJ shaping sound with nothing but hand movements over a mixer, there's something powerful about expressing music through motion. I kept thinking about DJs and live performers who move their hands in the air, controlling sound almost instinctively. What if those gestures could actually become music?What if motion itself could trigger beats, samples, and effects? That question became the spark for AirMIDI." # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Who'm_I_trying_to_be_online,_anyways?⠀⇛ I have a couple of ideas for 'portfolio' posts I want to write, Because I'd like to put together a portfolio website at some point. I like the idea of being able to show who I am professionally, and the weird career path I've had; One idea is an overview of the data format of aircraft black boxes, since I worked on those for a few years. Another is a generic 'weirdest bug I ever fixed' kind of post about inconsistent behavior between Chromium and IE. And one about cool type systems, because I just think they're neat. If I ever end up making a professional website, though, I'd probably keep it pretty separate from my "hush" identity because of how diaristic this blog gets, particularly writing about my struggles with doing work. And thinking about it has me wondering who I really want to be. There's a part of me that craves community more than a wall to post to, and that part of me is considering taking down my blog and retreating into tilde.town, using the internal blogging and microblogging systems there and just cultivating a presence that only those members can see.

But he’s been writing for many years, and he’s certainly not aiming to fan the legendary Hacker News flames. Sean writes with a philosophical precision that makes you feel like you’re crawling into his mind for a little bit. His first real “hit” was a late 2024 post on how he thinks about shipping software at large companies. From there, things escalated fast. In 2025, he published 141 posts, 33 of which hit the top of HN. His posts at https: //www.seangoedecke.com/ cover topics from AI in software development, to what it’s like being an Aussie in an American company, to where your engineering salary comes from. So how did he get here? And what lessons has he learned? Over to Sean. o ⚓ Bix Frankonis ☛ For_Reference⠀⇛ In my final act as host of last October’s carnival on ego, here’s my overview of the eighteen submitted posts. o ⚓ Michał Sapka ☛ This_site_is_now_on_Gemini⠀⇛ Now, I prefer how Gopher looks and feel, but I made a small survey on Mastodon and Gemini is the alternative people use. Maybe I will invade Gopher next, but 2 protocols are already enough. You can use Lagrange or Dillo to access the Gemini protocol, there's quite many cool people there. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Mark-Jason Dominus ☛ A_puzzle_about_balancing_test_tubes_in a_centrifuge⠀⇛ Suppose a centrifuge has !!n!! slots, arranged in a circle around the center, and we have !!k!! test tubes we wish to place into the slots. If the tubes are not arranged symmetrically around the center, the centrifuge will explode. # ⚓ Henrik Forstén ☛ Online_2D_transmission_line_field_solver⠀⇛ I often use online impedance calculator for quick microstrip, stripline and grounded CPW line dimension calculation. However, they often are not quite good enough. For example when microstrip is covered with solder mask its impedance drops due to dielectric of the mask and the mask increases effective permittivity. Most calculators can't give impedance of the line in that case and it can be significant for thin substrates. Another common issue is unusual transmission lines such as asymmetric stripline, embedded microstrip or lines over ground plane cuts (for example cutout under SMD capacitor or resistor pads). Many calculators are also unable to estimate line losses. # ⚓ Groot Koerkamp ☛ Recent_results_on_hash_tables⠀⇛ This post summarizes some recent results and idea on various types hash tables. Collected together with Stefan Walzer. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Manuel Moreale ☛ Sharing_is_caring⠀⇛ And one more note: "Because you absolutely should judge people based on the books they like. That’s what talking about books is for." # ⚓ Jason Heppler ☛ My_Ideal_Library⠀⇛ I’m in the process of slowly trying to inventory my library using LibraryThing (where I’ve been for twenty years!). I’m mostly focused on physical books—I don’t own many ebooks or audio books, the physical books are most near and dear to me. I estimate so far that my personal library runs around 800 books currently (on top of 50 or so ebooks and maybe 10 audiobooks). These books all reside in my home library, a space I renovated a couple of years ago to be my work-from-home space as well as my general writing studio that I refer to as the Bunkhouse. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Innodisk_EXEC-Q911_COM-HPC_Mini_kit_is powered_by_a_Qualcomm_Dragonwing_IQ-9075_Edge_Hey_Hi_(AI) SoC⠀⇛ Innodisk has recently introduced the EXEC-Q911, a COM-HPC Mini starter kit designed for edge Hey Hi (AI) applications powered by a Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ-9075 System-on-Chip (SoC), also known as the QCS9075, which delivers up to 200 TOPS of Hey Hi (AI) performance. The platform includes 36GB LPDDR5X memory and 128GB UFS 3.1 storage, supports dual 2.5GbE, two 4-lane MIPI CSI-2 camera interfaces, DisplayPort 1.2 and eDP outputs, and multiple expansion options via M.2 (PCIe Gen4 x4/ x2) slots. # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Family_retrocomputer_trash_and_treasure⠀⇛ Ever since Clara’s dad learned of my interest in computer history, he’s come along almost weekly with another box of old computers, parts, and books from his basement of treasures, and we grab a coffee to talk about it all. He and his family were originally from Hong Kong, so hearing his stories of building Apple II clones over there, learning microprocessors, then moving to Australia where he worked his way up in the ABC’s IT department is fascinating. Since last year he’s bestowed upon us: [...] o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ WhichUK ☛ Can_we_get_healthier_as_we_age?⠀⇛ We discussed this question in our first ever live podcast # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Social_Media_Giants_Face_Landmark_Legal Tests_on_Child_Safety⠀⇛ Starting this week, a series of trials will test a new legal strategy claiming that Meta, TikTok, Snap and YouTube caused personal injury through addictive products. # ⚓ France24 ☛ France's_Macron_vows_to_speed_up_social_control media_ban_for_under-15s⠀⇛ French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to fast-track legislation banning social control media use for children under 15, aiming for implementation by September. The move follows Australia's recent ban on under-16s using popular platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Macron also supports a ban on mobile phones in schools, with the draft legislation set to be submitted to the French parliament. FRANCE 24's Angela Diffley has the details. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Regrowing_Teeth_Might_Not_Be_Science_Fiction Anymore⠀⇛ The human body is remarkably good at handling repairs. Cut the skin, and the blood will clot over the wound and the healing process begins. Break a bone, and the body will knit it back together as long as you keep it still enough. But teeth? Our adult teeth get damaged all the time, and yet the body has almost no way to repair them at all. Get a bad enough cavity or knock one out, and it’s game over. There’s nothing to be done but replace it. Finding a way to repair teeth without invasive procedures has long been a holy grail for dental science. A new treatment being developed in Japan could help replace missing teeth in the near future. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Hindustan Times ☛ After_facing_repeated_layoffs,_techie seeks_stability_over_salary:_‘I_don’t_need_FAANG_money'⠀⇛ In the post, the techie said they had been laid off every year for the past two years and were emotionally drained by the constant uncertainty. # ⚓ Windows_11_Updates_for_January_2026:_Abusive_Monopolist Microsoft_Forced_to_Release_Two_Out-of-Band_Fixes_to_Restore System_Stability⠀⇛ Microsoft’s January 2026 backdoored Windows 11 Update: A Case Study in Patch Management Gone Awry The January 2026 update for backdoored Windows # ⚓ Windows_11_KB5074109:_Why_Abusive_Monopolist_Microsoft Recommends_Uninstalling_Its_Own_Patch⠀⇛ Windows 11 KB5074109: Why Abusive Monopolist Microsoft recommends uninstalling its own patch # ⚓ NYOB ☛ noyb_win:_Abusive_Monopolist_Microsoft_ordered_to stop_tracking_school_children⠀⇛ noyb win: Abusive Monopolist Microsoft ordered to stop tracking school children # ⚓ Google ☛ Diverse_Threat_Actors_Exploiting_Critical_WinRAR Vulnerability_CVE-2025-8088⠀⇛ The Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has identified widespread, active exploitation of the critical vulnerability CVE-2025-8088 in WinRAR, a popular file archiver tool for Windows, to establish initial access and deliver diverse payloads. Discovered and patched in July 2025, government-backed threat actors linked to Russia and China as well as financially motivated threat actors continue to exploit this n-day across disparate operations. The consistent exploitation method, a path traversal flaw allowing files to be dropped into the Windows Startup folder for persistence, underscores a defensive gap in fundamental application security and user awareness. # § Artificial Intelligence (AI) / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Some_Abusive_Monopolist_Microsoft Chaffbot_browser_extensions_are_stealing_your_data⠀⇛ A threat actor is seeding the internet with Hey Hi (AI) browser extensions that can intercept a user’s authenticated session tokens and hijack accounts. # ⚓ Evan Hahn ☛ An_LLM_that's_7500×_stupider⠀⇛ The Kimi K2.5 large language model was just released. It has 1 trillion parameters. Roughly speaking, the more parameters, the smarter the model. So it’s pretty smart, and is probably considered “state of the art”. But while the world is playing with fancy trillion-parameter chatbots, I was using smollm2:135m. As the name implies, it has just 135 million parameters. Compared to the state of the art, this model is about 7500× stupider. # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ Cursor_lies_about_vibe-coding_a_web browser_with_AI⠀⇛ So there’s only a minor problem with that Cursor announcement — every claim in it is a lie. Cursor made one fatal mistake: they put the code up where other developers could see it. # ⚓ CNN ☛ Pope_Leo_warns_of_‘overly_affectionate’_AI chatbots⠀⇛ The US-born pontiff, writing in a message ahead of the Catholic Church’s annual World Day of Social Communications, said artificial intelligence risked diluting human creativity and decision-making. “As we scroll through our information feeds, it becomes increasingly difficult to understand whether we are interacting with other human beings, bots, or virtual influencers,” Pope Leo wrote on Saturday. # ⚓ [Old] Vatican News ☛ Pope_Leo_on_AI:_new_generations must_be_helped,_not_hindered_-_Vatican_News⠀⇛ Pope Leo XIV highlighted how “new generations must be helped, not hindered, on their path to maturity and responsibility,” especially when it comes to their relationship with new technologies and artificial intelligence. He was addressing participants in the Conference “Artificial Intelligence and Care for Our Common Home” on Friday, December 5, 2025. # ⚓ Engadget ☛ The_EU_is_investigating_Grok_and_X_over potentially_illegal_deepfakes⠀⇛ “Sexual deepfakes of women and children are a violent, unacceptable form of degradation. With this investigation, we will determine whether X has met its legal obligations under the DSA [Digital Services Act], or whether it treated rights of European citizens — including those of women and children — as collateral damage of its service,” said the Commission’s executive VP, Henna Virkkunen in a statement. # ⚓ BoingBoing ☛ Galloway:_10%_spending_cut_from_rich households_tanks_GDP_"overnight"⠀⇛ NYU professor and podcaster Scott Galloway has a theory: markets move Trump's decisions more than protests ever could. His solution, outlined in Open Culture, is a coordinated consumer withdrawal — an economic strike. If wealthy households reduced spending by 10% and middle and lower-income households by 5%, "you would take GDP negative almost overnight." That kind of hit shows up in earnings reports, stock prices drop, and corporate leaders start making phone calls. # ⚓ Anup Jadhav ☛ Why_AI_Coding_Advice_Contradicts Itself⠀⇛ If you've tried to get better at AI-assisted coding, you've probably noticed something odd. The advice contradicts itself. Not in a hand-wavy "it depends" way. Actual opposing recommendations from people who all claim success. # ⚓ Mo ☛ After_two_years_of_vibecoding,_I'm_back_to writing_by_hand⠀⇛ What’s worse is code that agents write looks plausible and impressive while it’s being written and presented to you. It even looks good in pull requests (as both you and the agent are well trained in what a “good” pull request looks like). It’s not until I opened up the full codebase and read its latest state cover to cover that I began to see what we theorized and hoped was only a diminishing artifact of earlier models: slop. It was pure, unadulterated slop. I was bewildered. Had I not reviewed every line of code before admitting it? Where did all this...gunk..come from? # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ Victor Kropp ☛ Deprecation⠀⇛ After I created my Twitter archive, I started reviewing all my blog posts. The goal was to replace Twitter embeds with pre-rendered tweets from the archive. There were two reasons for that. # ⚓ Reuters ☛ Meta_CEO_Zuckerberg_blocked_curbs_on_sex- talking_chatbots_for_minors,_court_filing_alleges⠀⇛ The filing on Monday included internal Meta employee emails and messages obtained by the New Mexico Attorney General's Office through legal discovery. The state alleges they show that "Meta, driven by Zuckerberg, rejected the recommendations of its integrity staff and declined to impose reasonable guardrails to prevent children from being subject to sexually exploitative conversations with its AI chatbots," the attorney general said in the filing. In the communications, some of Meta’s safety staff expressed objections that the company was building chatbots geared for companionship, including sexual and romantic interactions with users. The artificial intelligence chatbots were released in early 2024. The documents cited in the state’s filing Monday don’t include messages or memos authored by Zuckerberg. # ⚓ Public Knowledge ☛ Congress_Picked_a_Fight_With Fentanylware_(CheeTok)_When_It_Should_Have_Fixed_Tech Policy [Ed: Microsoft-infected_org promotes social control media]⠀⇛ Americans deserve strong privacy protections online – not just scapegoats that grab headlines. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ TikTok_Finalizes_a_Deal_to_Form_a_New American_Entity [Ed: It is not "New American Entity", it's a MAGA base; the Cheeto in Chief is gifting this social control network to himself via his associates]⠀⇛ TikTok has finalized a deal to create a new American entity, avoiding the looming threat of a ban in the United States. # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2026-01-23_[Older]_Senator Says_Congress_Must_Investigate_TikTok_Deal,_Faults_Lack of_Details⠀⇛ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2026-01-22_[Older]_TikTok_parent_company finalizes_deal_to_keep_video-sharing_app_operating_in the_U.S.⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2026-01-23_[Older]_What_to Know_About_the_Deal_to_Keep_TikTok_in_US [Ed: It's not about locality but about cliques; this will now be run for another autocrat]⠀⇛ # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2026-01-26_[Older]_Meta, TikTok,_YouTube_to_Stand_Trial_on_Youth_Addiction Claims⠀⇛ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ 2026-01-26_[Older] Americans_Say_They_'Miss_Free_Speech'_From_China_as_US- Owned_TikTok_Censors_Anti-Cheeto_Mussolini_Posts⠀⇛ o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Crunchbase_Confirms_Data_Breach_After Hacking_Claims⠀⇛ Crunchbase was targeted alongside SoundCloud and Betterment in a ShinyHunters campaign. # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ SANS ☛ Initial_Stages_of_Romance_Scams,_(Tue,_Jan 27th)⠀⇛ [This is a Guest Diary by Fares Azhari, an ISC intern as part of the SANS.edu BACS program] # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ The_Architecture_of_Trust:_Why_Privacy_Must Be_Built_In⠀⇛ Data Privacy Day is a timely reminder that as organisations scale their use of data and AI, security, privacy and governance must keep pace. AI adoption is accelerating, but trust frameworks are not. # ⚓ The Washington Post ☛ The_privacy_risks_of_Google’s Personal_Intelligence⠀⇛ That’s a new privacy decision you’ll need to make if you use Google’s increasingly popular Gemini chatbot and AI Mode web search. This month, the company introduced a tech in beta called Personal Intelligence that promises to deliver smarter tailored responses, once it’s allowed to ingest some of your most intimate data. It’s off by default, but raises some privacy issues we’ve not had to deal with before. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Ireland_explores_legal_spyware, encryption-breaking_powers⠀⇛ The Irish government is planning to bolster its police's ability to intercept communications, including encrypted messages, and provide a legal basis for spyware use. The Communications (Interception and Lawful Access) Bill is being framed as a replacement for the current legislation that governs digital communication interception. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ The_Constitutionality_of_Geofence Warrants⠀⇛ The US Supreme Court is considering the constitutionality of geofence warrants. [...] # ⚓ Dan Q ☛ That’s_Not_How_Email_Works,_HSBC⠀⇛ What you’re seeing are two tracking pixels: tiny 1×1 pixel images, usually transparent or white-on-white to make them even-more invisible, used to surreptitiously track when somebody reads an email. When you open an email from HSBC – potentially every time you open an email from them – your email client connects to those web addresses to get the necessary images. The code at the end of each identifies the email they were contained within, which in turn can be linked back to the recipient. You know how invasive a read-receipt feels? Tracking pixels are like those… but turned up to eleven. While a read-receipt only says “the recipient read this email” (usually only after the recipient gives consent for it to do so), a tracking pixel can often track when and how often you refer to an email5. If I re-read a year-old email from HSBC, they’re saying that they want to know about it. But it gets worse. Because HSBC are using http://, rather than https:// URLs for their tracking pixels, they’re also saying that every time you read an email from them, they’d like everybody on the same network as you to be able to know that you did so, too. If you’re at my house, on my WiFi, and you open an email from HSBC, not only might HSBC know about it, but I might know about it too. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong_jails_ex-Chinese_soldier for_8_months_for_offering_illegal_taxi_services_691_times_– reports⠀⇛ A former People’s Liberation Army (PLA) soldier has been sentenced to eight months in prison in Hong Kong after admitting to offering illegal ride- hailing services in his Tesla Model S sedan while visiting the city as a tourist, according to local media. Zeng Yulin, 39, appeared at Fanling Magistrates’ Courts on Monday for sentencing. # ⚓ Defence Web ☛ How_precision_tech_and_industry_partnerships can_give_the_SANDF_an_unfair_advantage_for_future_African fights⠀⇛ It is stated that armed forces can win battles, but it is nations who win wars. # ⚓ The Strategist ☛ Holding_out:_Taiwan’s_priority preparations_in_case_of_Chinese_blockade⠀⇛ Taiwan isn’t Ukraine. Russia’s victim has withstood almost four years of war, but it has advantages in perseverance that Taiwan lacks. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Uganda:_Battered_Barbra_Kyagulanyi_tells_husband Bobi_Wine_to_stay_in_hiding⠀⇛ Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Uganda's military chief, denied accusations that soldiers had been sent to the home of opposition leader Bobi Wine to beat his wife in posts on X. Wine has been in hiding since disputing the outcome of the mid-January elections that returned President Yoweri Museveni to power for a seventh term. Kainerugaba claims that troops did not raid Wine's home and assault his wife, Barbra, because it is not worth the army's time. Barbra is currently in hospital. She recorded the intruders on her phone and says they forced their way into her home, choked her, mocked her and assaulted her staff, demanding that she tell them where her husband was. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Google_DeepMind_Staffers_Ask_Leaders_to_Keep_Them ‘Physically_Safe’_From_ICE⠀⇛ On Monday morning, two days after federal agents shot and killed Minneapolis nurse Alex Pretti, a Google DeepMind employee sent the following message in an internal message board for the company’s roughly 3,000-person AI unit: “US focused question: What is GDM doing to keep us physically safe from ICE? The events of the past week have shown that immigration status, citizenship, or even the law is not a deterrent against detention, violence, or even death from federal operatives.” # ⚓ Nick Heer ☛ A_Slot_Machine_for_Feelings_in_Every_Pocket⠀⇛ Though Newton links to Mike Masnick’s coverage of two studies, Newton only dissects the one that is not behind a paywall. I get it; the other study is $45 USD, and I only read free Platformer articles. But it would behoove him to try to find both for a more comprehensive article. For example, the Australian researchers found usage of under two hours a day was not correlated with negative outcomes, but a good retort is that teens are spending an average of nearly five hours across seven social media apps per day. I would say get a friend in academia, or see if your local public library has access to JAMA Pediatrics, Newton. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_Crisis,_No._4:_On_the_uses_of_memory⠀⇛ If that is not what the diary is for, then what is it for? A museum piece? A historical curiosity? A tragedy safely contained in the past, invoked only to remember and never to warn? # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_Crisis,_No._5:_On_the_hollowing_of_Apple⠀⇛ But he had a conscience. He moved, later in life, to repair the damage he had done. The reconciliation with his daughter Lisa was part of a broader moral development—a man who had hurt people learning, slowly, how to stop. He examined himself. He made changes. He was not a perfect man. But he had heart. He had morals. And he was willing to admit when he was wrong. That is a lot more than can be said for this lot of corporate leaders. # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_Crisis,_No._6:_On_the_architecture_of unreality⠀⇛ Bari Weiss is not a journalist. She is a propagandist with a journalist’s title. She has an agenda. She has interests. And they align with the interests of those who think keeping the current regime in charge of our national affairs is theirs. It is why she brings the reactionary fraud Niall Ferguson to CBS: to lend the appearance of intellectual heft to what is, in fact, a project of epistemological sabotage. # ⚓ The Next Move ☛ War_at_Home,_'Peace'_Abroad,_Truth_in Neither⠀⇛ ICE’s ongoing operations in Minnesota look more like a foreign military occupation than a domestic law enforcement action. They are the sequel to the National Guard deployments in major cities over the last year. Federal agents killing and brutalizing Americans is what happens when a government treats its people like enemy combatants. How easy it is to forget that the individuals wearing badges and uniforms are supposed to protect you from criminals who would hurt you, not do the hurting themselves. The administration is replacing the social contract between state and citizens with loose rules of engagement for masked troopers. Why fight a war at home? # ⚓ Baldur Bjarnason ☛ Books_as_signifiers,_the_paradox_of tolerance,_and_Nazi_bars⠀⇛ The history of publishing is full of controversial or even outright unsavoury literary books, but Mein Kampf is not that. It is a political manifesto. It is routinely used as an explicit signal of political affiliation. Anybody who talks favourably about the book Mein Kampf in a social context, as opposed to noting its role in history, is unambiguously doing so to let on that they are a Nazi sympathiser in a way that some parts of “polite” society find acceptable. # § Russia, Belarus, and War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ Latvia ☛ Security_service:_Russia_thinking_about Baltics_the_way_it_thought_about_Ukraine⠀⇛ On January 26th, the Constitution Protection Bureau (SAB) security service published the unclassified part of its annual report for the year 2025. Along with a review of last year’s activities, SAB also provided a forecast of sorts on the possible future development of current security issues. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Russian_Sandworm_Hackers_Blamed_for Cyberattack_on_Polish_Power_Grid⠀⇛ 10 years after disrupting the Ukrainian power grid, the APT targeted Poland with data- wiping malware. # ⚓ France24 ☛ EU_'is_still_very_uncomfortable_about India-Russia_relations',_expert_says_ahead_of_free trade_deal⠀⇛ The European Union ⁠and India will explore possibilities for Indian participation in European defence initiatives, according to reports. Speaking with FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney, Christophe Jaffrelot, Research Director at CNRS, explains that the addition of defence cooperation to a wide-ranging free trade deal is a political message from the EU to both current allies and rivals, but adds that the EU 'is still very uncomfortable about India-Russia relations'. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Russia_Says_Talks_to_End_War_in Ukraine_Will_Continue⠀⇛ Ukrainian and Russian officials left rare direct talks last weekend in a somewhat optimistic mood. But Russia may be simply stalling for time, analysts said. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Shift_to_Drone_Fighting_in_Ukraine War_Means_No_Winter_Lull⠀⇛ Shifts in tactics and technology in Ukraine mean that the pace of fighting is no longer decided by whether tanks can navigate frozen fields. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Peace_Talks_Set_To_Resume_Amid_Ground Fighting,_Severe_Power_Outages_In_Ukraine⠀⇛ Ukraine, Russia, and the United States are set to resume negotiations in Abu Dhabi next week after two days of what officials described as “constructive” peace talks, even as the war shows no signs of easing. # ⚓ LRT ☛ Zelensky_warns_Europe_against_complacency during_visit_to_Vilnius⠀⇛ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who joined his Lithuanian and Polish counterparts in Vilnius on Sunday, warns that Europe must not relax its defences while Russia continues to view the continent as a target. The three presidents also discussed Ukraine’s efforts to join the European Union, somewhat diverging on the accession timeline. # ⚓ France24 ☛ EU_countries'_final_approval_to_Russian gas_ban,_four_years_after_full_scale_invasion_of Ukraine⠀⇛ European ‍Union countries on Monday ​gave their final approval to the bloc's plan ⁠to ban Russian gas imports by late 2027, allowing it to pass into law. The policy makes legally-binding the ​EU's vow to cut ties with its former ‍top gas supplier, nearly four years after Russia's 2022 full- scale invasion ​of Ukraine.

I’m currently working inside a major crypto romance scam operation based in the Golden Triangle,” it began. “I am a computer engineer being forced to work here under a contract.” “I’ve collected internal evidence of how the scam works—step by step,” the message continued. “I am still inside the compound, so I cannot risk direct exposure. But I want to help shut this down.” o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Winter_Storm_Pummels_Toronto_With_Record Snowfall⠀⇛ Canada’s biggest city got roughly 22 inches, and giant snow banks are unlikely to melt soon because of colder than usual temperatures. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Doc Searls ☛ Whatknot⠀⇛ We had some deep snows when I lived in Arlington, Mass (next to Cambridge), but nothing quite like the thick blanket of white that got dumped on the Boston metro two days ago. The screenshot above is part of an NWS snow-depth map that will soon age out. So enjoy it while you can. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ BBC ☛ Amazon_accidentally_sends_email_confirming_layoffs⠀⇛ US technology giant Amazon has informed employees of a new round of global layoffs in an email apparently sent in error. A draft email written by Colleen Aubrey, a senior vice president at Amazon Web Services (AWS), was included as part of a calendar invitation sent by an executive assistant to a number of Amazon workers late on Tuesday. In the email, Aubrey refers to a swathe of employees in the US, Canada and Costa Rica having been laid off as part of an effort to "strengthen the company." The message, which has been seen by the BBC, was apparently shared by mistake, as it was quickly cancelled. An Amazon spokesman declined to comment. # ⚓ ASML_orders_beat_expectations_as_company_plans_1,700 layoffs⠀⇛ ASML reported stronger-than-expected bookings in the fourth quarter of 2025 as customers stepped up investment in artificial intelligence chipmaking capacity, according to Reuters. # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Gen(erate_losses)-“AI”_bailouts⠀⇛ But this raises the ultimate question: can I get some money to burn too? And if so, how much? Maybe a billion? I’d use it for all sorts of pointless things, like feeding people and funding open source projects. Okay, and a house boat, with stabalisers so I wouldn’t get motion sickness. It’d be powered by a fusion reactor and warp drive so I could… hello? You still there? Wait, no come back, I want my levitating boat damn it!!! # ⚓ David Rosenthal ☛ Funding_Open_Source?⠀⇛ In 2020 I wrote a detailed post about this problem entitled Supporting Open Source Software. Recently the topic re-surfaced on an e-mail alias I read. But what triggered the post below the fold was that this coincided with yet another fascinating piece from Matt Levine and his laugh-out-loud follow-up the next day. In Supporting Open Source Software I discussed Cameron Neylon's 2017 paper on a related problem, Sustaining Scholarly Infrastructures through Collective Action: The Lessons that Olson can Teach us: [...] # ⚓ [Repeat] Rlang ☛ Do_prices_feel_like_they_are_rising_more than_the_CPI_says?⠀⇛ I was interested in comparing food price changes for common frequently purchased items. This is based on CPIs for countrywide data in categories like eggs. Of course I am not measuring YOUR specific egg purchase (such as store brand, organic, medium size, white, 12 count, at CTown in Intercourse, Pennsylvania). I began with 11 years of December values of ten separate food categories and also the overall CPI- U, seasonally adjusted. The values I used are as follows (although I understand values change as there are changes to seasonal adjustment factors, weightings, etc.) o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Green Party UK ☛ 2026-01-25_[Older]_Zack_Polanski_responds to_Andy_Burnham_being_blocked_from_standing_in_upcoming_by- election⠀⇛ # ⚓ Macworld ☛ Does_Tim_Cook_even_care_about_Apple's_image anymore?⠀⇛ Based on who he likes to hang out with on a Saturday night, one wishes Apple CEO Tim Cook were a bit more of a homebody. The day that ICE agents killed another U.S. citizen in Minneapolis, Cook went to the White House that sent those agents to Minnesota so he could attend the viewing of a weapons-grade hagiography about the First Lady. # ⚓ Jérôme Marin ☛ Apple_prepares_for_the_post-Tim_Cook_era⠀⇛ John Ternus is one of Apple’s least well-known top executives. Yet today, he appears to be the leading favorite to succeed Tim Cook at the helm of the Cupertino-based giant. According to Bloomberg, the head of hardware engineering, responsible for the design of the iPhone, Mac, and other products, saw his responsibilities expanded at the end of 2025. He now oversees all design, both hardware and software. It is a strategic role long held by Jony Ive, then by Jeff Williams, who for a time was presented as a future CEO before retiring last summer. # ⚓ Chad Whitacre ☛ Open_Source_Offers_Hope_Against_Tyranny⠀⇛ In a world where tyrants and strongmen increasingly shock us and demand our attention, Open Source suggests that we can focus elsewhere: not as a distraction, but as a decision to invest in the world we want. With Mark Carney, we can take Václav Havel’s proverbial sign out of the window: [...] # ⚓ OpenStreetMap ☛ Request_for_Comments_for_the_European_Open Digital_Ecosystem_Strategy_-_General_talk_-_OpenStreetMap Community_Forum⠀⇛ The questions to be answered, as seen in the call for evidence file, are: [...] # ⚓ [Old] Foundation for European Progressive Studies ☛ Time_to build_a_European_digital_ecosystem_-_Foundation_for_European Progressive_Studies⠀⇛ The beginning of the new EU mandate means the closure of a very productive legislature in the digital domain. Landmark regulations such as the Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA) have reshaped the EU’s digital landscape, while Europe was the first to legislate artificial intelligence (AI). Now, the European Union is at a crossroad in its digital transformation. Geopolitical tensions and growing reliance on foreign tech giants underscore the urgent need for greater technological sovereignty. # ⚓ European Pirate Party ☛ Europe’s_Open_Source_Digital Strategy_–_Bottlenecks_To_Navigate_–_European_Pirates⠀⇛ As part of its digital sovereignty drive, the European Commission is currently inviting public input on the future of European Open Digital Ecosystems through an open consultation. The idea is to gather perspectives from different parties – developers, civil society, policy makers, public administrators, and industry insiders and ascertain how it could establish and shape the foundations of Europe’s digital future. The European Pirates will take this opportunity to submit a response to the commission’s call. The discussion below is a starting point for that wider reflection. It outlines key ambitions of the EU’s open digital strategy and highlights several structural bottlenecks that deserve careful attention as Europe defines its next steps. Amid rapid transformations and politically charged ramifications in the global digital landscape, the European Union has decided to restructure and strengthen its open-source digital ecosystem strategy. Over the past few years, digital infrastructure has quietly become a geopolitical asset. Cloud systems, AI models, data pipelines, and even open-source software now shape economic power, security posture, and democratic resilience. The European Commission initially adopted the strategy in 2020-2023. The call to action is amplified at the Summit on European Digital Sovereignty in Berlin in November 2025. The underlying idea is simple: Achieve and maintain Europe’s digital sovereignty. # ⚓ European Union ☛ Commission_opens_call_for_evidence_on Open-Source_Digital_Ecosystems⠀⇛ Open-source technologies are increasingly recognised as a strategic asset for Europe’s digital future. As part of this initiative, the Commission intends to set out a strategic approach to the open-source sector across the EU, alongside a review of the 2020–2023 Open-Source Software Strategy. The strategy will form a key pillar of the EU’s broader digital policy agenda. # ⚓ [Old] It's FOSS ☛ Europe_Has_a_New_Plan_to_Break_Free_from US_Tech_Dominance⠀⇛ The proposal also calls for supporting new business models for open source companies and foundations, including through public-private partnerships. Plus, this is designed to work alongside the upcoming Cloud and AI Development Act, for which a separate consultation was already conducted. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Pro-democracy_activist_Lester_Shum, one_of_the_‘Hong_Kong_47,’_released_from_jail_–_reports⠀⇛ Pro-democracy activist Lester Shum, one of the opposition figures jailed in the “Hong Kong 47” national security case, has reportedly been released from prison after completing a four-and-a- half-year sentence. Shum was released on Monday morning, according to local media. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Hong_Kong_uses_decades-old_speeches_to try_pro-democracy_activists⠀⇛ Two activists who organised vigils as leaders of a now-defunct group, are facing national security charges. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Gavin_Newsom_accuses_Fentanylware_(CheeTok)_of suppressing_content_critical_of_Convicted_Felon⠀⇛ California Governor Gavin Newsom has accused Fentanylware (CheeTok) of suppressing content critical of President The Insurrectionist and has launched a review into whether the platform’s moderation practices violate state law. The move follows TikTok’s announcement that its Chinese owner, ByteDance, has finalised a deal to avoid a potential US ban. # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ Many_UK_Users_Soon_Won't_Be_Able_to_Access Pornhub⠀⇛ In a call on Tuesday, leadership at Aylo and Ethical Capital Partners (ECP), which acquired Aylo in 2023, said that after six months of complying with the UK’s Online Safety Act, it’s made the choice to restrict access in the country entirely. People who have already verified their ages with the current verification system will still be able to access those sites using login credentials, but anyone who hasn’t already done so by February 2 will be blocked entirely. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Journalism_job_cuts_in_2026_tracked: Layoffs_at_Future,_Politico,_WSJ,_Vox_Media_and_BDG_in January⠀⇛ # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Future_plans_45_editorial_redundancies_at titles_including_Techradar_and_Tom’s_Guide⠀⇛ Some 15 roles will also be created in changes hitting tech titles. # ⚓ Ben Werdmuller ☛ Journalism_lost_its_culture_of_sharing⠀⇛ I think there’s a lot to be gained by collaborating on an open source basis. We typically run small, resource-constrained teams where building new software is contextually hard. And we have problems that, if they’re not identical, are at least significantly overlapping; by not collaborating on them, we further an ecosystem where low-resource organizations are all solving the same sorts of things with very few people and very little money in parallel. o § Civil Rights / Policing / Accessibility⠀➾ # ⚓ Citizen Lab ☛ Perpetrators_and_Methods_of_Transnational Repression_and_Possible_Counter_Strategies⠀⇛ Citizen Lab senior research associate Emile Dirks will be attending a meeting on transnational repression (TNR) at the EU Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs on January 28, during which Nate Schenkkan (lead author, independent researcher), Zselyke Csaky (senior research fellow at the Centre for European Reform), Alexander Dukalskis [...] # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ DHS_Says_Critical_ICE_Surveillance_Footage_From Abuse_Case_Was_Actually_Never_Recorded,_Doesn't_Matter⠀⇛ The filings, made by U.S. attorneys on behalf of Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and other DHS officials, are the latest in an ongoing class action lawsuit against the U.S. government filed by detainees at the Chicago-area ICE detention center. The people suing the government in this case argue that they were held in subhuman, illegal conditions at Broadview: “They are denied sufficient food and water […] the temperatures are extreme and uncomfortable […] the physical conditions are filthy, with poor sanitation, clogged toilets, and blood, human fluids, and insects in the sinks and the floor […] federal officers who patrol Broadview under Defendants’ authority are abusive and cruel,” their complaint reads in part. # ⚓ Closer to the Edge ☛ The_Dildo_Distribution_Delegation⠀⇛ The cops stood there, choking us, shooting pepper balls at people holding noise makers and rubber penises, desperately trying to reassert dominance over pieces of silicone that had emotionally defeated them in under sixty seconds. They couldn’t pick them up. They couldn’t leave them there. They couldn’t kick them away without becoming a meme. So they did what every insecure authoritarian does when confronted with humiliation. They escalated. # ⚓ Jamie Zawinski ☛ The_Dildo_Distribution_Delegation⠀⇛ # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ Jon_Stewart_Attacks_Government_'Lying' About_Alex_Pretti's_Murder⠀⇛ He continued, “I think the lowest bar a government ever has to clear in terms of earned credibility to its population is obvious reality. You just gotta clear obvious reality. I believe it’s what the philosopher Seneca called the ‘Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining’ doctrine.” Stewart recounted how the Department of Homeland Security has continued to misrepresent Pretti’s death and questioned why they would be allowed to investigate the murder themselves. “Oh, good luck finding the real killer, O.J.,” Stewart replied. # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ Trump_Admin._Having_Hard_Time_Selling_Alex Pretti_Killing_Narrative⠀⇛ Pretti was a licensed gun owner in a state where concealed carry is legal, and according to O’Hara had no existing criminal record. Forensic analysis of bystander videos of Pretti’s killings do not show him brandishing or displaying a weapon in the moments leading up to the shooting. Videos appear to show one of the officers subduing Pretti, removing a holstered gun matching the description of his licensed weapon from his waist, and running away from the scrum moments before another officer fires the first shot. In a video of the immediate aftermath of the shooting, officers can be heard asking each other, “Where is the gun?” # ⚓ BoingBoing ☛ Why_does_K$H_Patel_suddenly_hate_the_2nd Amendment?⠀⇛ Pretti, who worked at a Veterans Affairs hospital, was legally carrying his holstered Sig Sauer with a valid permit when he stepped between immigration agents and a woman they'd shoved to the ground. He was filming with his phone, one hand raised, when Border Patrol agents pepper-sprayed him, wrestled him down, disarmed him, and shot him dead. Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara confirmed Pretti had a legal right to carry the firearm. # ⚓ YLE ☛ Finnish_education_minister_looking_into_extent_of girls_being_sent_abroad_to_undergo_FGM⠀⇛ "I have asked my ministry to draw up a comprehensive picture of what we know about children who are sent abroad - whether it is concerns so-called educational camps or, for example, genital mutilation of girls or women," he said, according to STT. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Inside Towers ☛ FCC_Ends_E-Rate_Support_for_School_Bus WiFi,_Hotspots_-_Inside_Towers⠀⇛ The FCC is ending E-Rate support for WiFi and hotspots on school buses. The change is effective on February 20, according to Womble Bond Dickinson’s Rural Spectrum Scanner. The program helps bridge the digital divide by funding, up to an annual cap, necessary infrastructure to ensure affordable access to modern technology for students and library patrons. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Pete Brown ☛ Adding_variety_mix_streams_to_Radio_Free Greenfield_-_Exploding_Comma⠀⇛ Yesterday morning, though, flush off my success of moving all my files and fixing the CD-ripping workflow, I got to thinking about individual tracks again. Most of the problems I had the first time around seemed to stem from trying to do it all on the fly, so what if I parsed through all the .cue files at once, and stuffed the artist, album, and track info into a database, and then pulled from that? § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Dennis Crouch/Patently-O ☛ Single-Reference_Obviousness: Federal_Circuit_Says_Don’t_Re-Do_the_Prior_Art’s_Work⠀⇛ Federal Circuit holds motivation-to-combine test inapplicable when disputed elements already appear together in a single prior art embodiment. # ⚓ Unified Patents ☛ StealthPath_IP_security_patent_monopoly prior_art_found⠀⇛ The team at Unified_IP_Services used Pearl to successfully identify and chart prior art against U.S._Patent_10,374,803, owned by StealthPath IP Inc. The ‘803 patent monopoly generally relates to a network security method involving a specialized software that authenticates and authorizes devices, applications, users, and data protocols by leveraging nonpublic identification codes. # ⚓ Unified Patents ☛ Key_Patent_Innovations_entity,_Malikie Innovations,_data_synchronization_patent_monopoly_prior_art found⠀⇛ The team at Unified_IP_Services used Pearl to successfully identify and chart prior art against U.S._Patent_7,496,606, owned by Malikie Innovations Limited, an NPE and entity of Key Patent Innovations. The ‘606 patent monopoly relates to a system and method for data synchronization across multiple databases, especially in wireless communication environments, facilitating synchronization and conflict resolution by appending synchronization parameters to data records. # ⚓ BoingBoing ☛ The_secret_society_of_people_who_know_the_WD- 40_formula⠀⇛ The notebook contains the 40th attempt at the formula — and the 39 previous failures. (WD stands for Water Displacement.) Most WD-40 employees have never seen it and never will, including the head of research and development. They use a coded version to preserve the secret. The company never filed for a patent because patents eventually expire and become public. As a trade secret, the formula is protected indefinitely. # § Kangaroo Courts⠀➾ # ⚓ JUVE ☛ Litigation_insurers_and_funders_follow_first case_of_new_Court_of_Appeal_panel [Ed: UPC is totally illegal and tied to EPO corruption.

Hubertus Schacht, an experienced patent monopoly judge, is taking over the chamber. Its long-standing head Georg Werner recently moved to the UPC as a full-time judge. o § Trademarks⠀➾ # § Right of Publicity⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Pope_warns_flock_to_raise_their faces,_protect_their_voices⠀⇛ But he swiftly moved from the theological to the technological, warning: "By simulating human voices and faces, wisdom and knowledge, consciousness and responsibility, empathy and friendship… artificial intelligence [could] not only interfere with information ecosystems, but also encroach upon the deepest level of communication, that of human relationships." o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Are_the_Grammys_Snubbing_Country?

Recording Academy chief Harvey Mason Jr. addresses the matter. # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ Neil_Young_Trashes_Amazon,_Gives_His Catalog_to_Greenland_for_Free⠀⇛ “Amazon is owned by Jeff Bezos, a billionaire backer of the president,” he wrote. “The president’s international policies and his support of ICE make it impossible for me to ignore his actions. If you feel as I do, I strongly recommend that you do not use Amazon. There are many ways to avoid Amazon and support individual Americans and American companies that supply the same products. I have done that with my music and people who are looking can find it in a lot of other places.” * Upcoming_Techrights_Series_About_the_Failure_of_the_Solicitors_Regulation Authority_(SRA)_to_Stop_Hired_Guns_Who_Work_for_Americans_That_Abuse Women * Upcoming_Techrights_Series_About_the_Experiences_of_EPO_Insiders ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 6069 ➮ Generation completed at 02:49, i.e. 13 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
