This is similar_to_what_Microsoft_does and has internally dubbed "stickiness", either referring to habits or vendor lock-in. Proprietary software tends to be like this, which is why "doomscrolling" (connected to addictive interfaces such as "infinite scrolling") got its name and many in the Free Software world encourage people to abandon non-free software, instead inviting peers to software that respects users and their time. The latest_episode_of_Cybershow covers some of those things in passing. █ * IBM_Americas_President_Ayman_Antoun_Comes_to_OpenText,_Weeks_Ahead_the Mass_Layoffs_Begin * GAFAM_Mozilla_Removes_Theora_Support,_Now_GNU_Needs_to_Re-encode_Videos ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢁⣀⣀⣀⡈⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⣰⣇⣢⣿⡇⢸⣆⣰⣀⣧⣸⡇⢻⣀⣇⣢⣿⣀⣿⣀⣧⣺⣰⣇⣸⣀⣇⣇⣼⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠘⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⠋⣿⠛⡟⢻⣿⢹⡟⢻⠟⡟⣿⠛⠿⣻⢹⠙⡿⠛⡟⣿⠛⡿⠛⡛⢻⠛⡏⡛⣿⡟⡛⡛⢿⢛⡟⣿⡟⣻⠟⢛⢛⠙⢻⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣏⡀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠻⣶⣿⣶⣷⣾⣷⣾⣷⣾⣼⣷⣿⣶⣿⣾⣾⣶⣿⣶⣷⣿⣴⣿⣶⣷⣿⣶⣷⣾⣿⣷⣶⣷⣷⣾⣷⣿⣷⣾⣷⣾⣾⣶⠾⣀⣭⣭⣿⣿⣟⡋⢩⣼⣿⣿⣇⣷⡀⠀⠴⡤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣭⣟⣻⠿⣷⣜⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⢷⣸⣿⣿⣷⣟⡿⣿⣿⡬⢸⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣷⣷⣄⣿⣶⣤⣀⣀⠈⣻⢻ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣧⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢹⣿⣯⣻⣿⡟⣻⣿⢣⣿⣿⣿⣿⡎⡻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⣽⣾⣿⠿⣋ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠋⠈⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠅⠈⠻⠫⣱⢸⣧⡅⢝⠟⢛⣽⣾⡿⣟⣭⣶⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣽⠂⢩⣯⡍⠀⠀⠀⠀⣰⣤⣤⣾⡷⣻⣿⣮⢛⣙⣚⣻⣿⢿⣿⣿ ⣙⣛⣒⣒⣚⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠯⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠭⠿⢯⣽⣿⣟⣛⣛⣩⣭⣭⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣍⣉⣙⣛⣛⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⠇⠀⢸⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘⣛⣝⡋⠸⣿⣿⣱⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⢿ ⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠠⣀⣠⣤⣴⣶⣾⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡟⠀⠀⡿⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⣭⢽⣖⡀⢻⢣⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣟⣻⣭⣷⣾⠿⠿⡛⠋⠉⢉⣁⣀⣤⡤⠤⣴⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⠃⠀⠸⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠱⣾⣿⣿⣷⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢧ ⣿⣿⠿⣛⣭⣶⣿⠿⠛⠋⣁⡀⢀⠜⢠⣾⣿⣿⢿⣿⠇⠃⠀⠓⢠⢻⣟⡉⣻⡿⠛⣛⣃⡀⠀⠀⠀⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⣿⡿⣣⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿ ⣯⣶⣿⠿⠛⢉⣠⣴⣶⣿⠏⡠⠀⣴⣿⣿⣿⡟⠄⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠓⢚⣂⢉⣹⣾⣿⣧⣷⣤⣈⡙⠛⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣋⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣻⣵⣾⣿⣿ ⠟⠉⣀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⠄⢀⣾⣿⣿⡏⣽⠆⡴⡄⡖⡆⢲⠺⣧⡇⡗⢻⠙⡧⢰⣶⣯⡍⠛⠷⠿⢿⢧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢟⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢸⠃⢧⡇⠿⠧⠸⠀⣃⣃⣓⣘⣀⣛⣂⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣤⠀⠀⠀⠉⢻⣶⣶⣤⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣟⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠋⠁⡠⠊⠀⠀⢟⣫⣭⣭⣝⣛⡨⠴⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠋⠀⠀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠿⣿⠿⣫⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡟⠋⠀⢀⠜⠀⠀⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⡝⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⣉⣁⣀⣀⡤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⠁⠀⠙⠛⠋⠃⠙⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣤⣤⣦⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠁⠀⠀⡠⠃⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢇⣡⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠠⠴⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡤⣠⡄⣀⣀⡀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⣿⠟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣾⣿⢟⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣫⣿⣾⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢛⣻⣛⣧⣵⠦⣹⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⡿⣵⣿⣿⣿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣭⣏⡿⡶⠶⣣⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 149 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/03/25/EPO_s_Current_Industrial_Actions_Are_Likely_to_Intensify_Furthe.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/03/25/EPO_s_Current_Industrial_Actions_Are_Likely_to_Intensify_Furthe.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ EPO's "Current Industrial Actions Are Likely to Intensify Further."⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 25, 2026 Days ago: A_Step_Close_to_Shutting_Down_the_European_Patent_Office_(EPO) 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇DRAFT ACTION PLAN 2⦈ Are permanent strikes at the EPO going to become a reality? In a new open letter to the President, the_one_who_hides_cocaine_use, they end by saying there is an ultimatum. To staff they say today: "In an open letter sent on Monday 23 March, the SUEPO committees of all places of employment invite the President to an urgent meeting. Without visible progress, the current industrial actions are likely to intensify further." Here is the full message to staff: Dear SUEPO members, Dear Colleagues, The EPO financial situation is excellent thanks to the remarkable performance of staff (+12% productivity increase over the last 3 years alone). At the same time, the 6-year review of the current salary adjustment procedure shows that the evolution of EPO salaries is now lagging -6.8 percentage points behind the evolution of costs of living. The newly proposed salary adjustment procedure aims at generating additional savings of €1.4 billion for the Organisation while further undermining staff purchasing power. This direction is neither understandable nor sustainable and will not be accepted by staff. On 18 March 2026, 700 colleagues and pensioners demonstrated in front of the Isar building with 500 additional attendees connected to the live feed. A total of 1,200 attendees! Current actions have already had a considerable impact, with close to 5,000 strike participations recorded over the 3 days of warning strike, and a reduction of approximately 6,000 products, particularly affecting grants, which are a key source of income for national offices. The position expressed by the Administrative Council is perceived by staff as a continued attack on our salaries and our entire employment package, without justification. At the same time, the absence of a clear and active defence of staff interests by the President has not gone unnoticed. In an open letter sent on Monday 23 March, the SUEPO committees of all places of employment invite the President to an urgent meeting. Without visible progress, the current industrial actions are likely to intensify further. Here's the full letter to the man who refers to himself as "the f***ing president" (his mouth is as dirty as his nose, as the joke might go): INTERNATIONALE GEWERKSCHAFT IM EUROPÄISCHEN PATENTAMT STAFF UNION OF THE EUROPEAN PATENT OFFICE UNION SYNDICALE DE L'OFFICE EUROPEEN DES BREVETS Zentraler Vorstand Central Executive Committee Bureau central 23 March 2026 su26004cl - 0.3.1 Mr António Campinos President of the European Patent Organisation – by email – OPEN LETTER § Invitation to Negotiate on the Salary Adjustment Procedure (SAP)⠀➾ Dear Mr Campinos, Over the past years, EPO staff have consistently delivered products of very high quality, significantly exceeding planned targets. According to the administration’s presentation to the Administrative Council on 18th March, productivity has increased by 12% over the last three years alone, compared with an expected 2.1% per year. This remarkable performance has also contributed positively to the Office’s financial position, which has improved from an alleged gap of €5.8 billion prior to the introduction of the current Salary Adjustment Procedure in 2020 to a surplus of €4.2 billion as of the last Financial Study in 2023. In addition, the RFPSS reached €15 billion at the end of January, with a pension coverage of over 105%, while the EPOTIF stands at over €5 billion. Last year’s surplus amounted to more than €600 million. Overall, the financial situation of the Office is currently very strong. At the same time, EPO staff remuneration has experienced a decrease in purchasing power of 6.8% over the past six years under the current salary adjustment procedure. In this context, the new proposed Salary Adjustment Procedure aims at generating additional savings of €1.4 billion for the organisation while further undermining staff purchasing power. This direction is neither understandable nor sustainable and will not be accepted by staff. On 18 March 2026, over 700 staff members participated in a demonstration in front of the Isar building, with a further 500 joining online, to express their views and call for a fair and legal salary adjustment. On 19 March 2026, staff also took part in a third warning strike in line with the approved SUEPO action plans. Current actions have already had a considerable impact, with close to 5,000 strike participations recorded over the 3 days, and a reduction of approximately 6,000 products, particularly affecting grants, which are a key source of income for national offices. Further actions are envisaged, significantly intensifying the strike schedule to at least 2 days of every week and potentially every single working day being designated as a day of strike from April until ===================================================================== December, should staff concerns remain insufficiently addressed and no satisfactory solution be found. Two technical meetings with staff representatives are scheduled in the coming weeks. These meetings must lead to tangible progress. A continuation of the current approach, without meaningful movement beyond the proposed Salary Adjustment Procedure, will not be sufficient to address staff concerns. The position expressed by the Administrative Council is perceived by staff as a continued attack on our salaries and our entire employment package, without justification. At the same time, the absence of a clear and active defence of staff interests by you, the President, has not gone unnoticed. In light of this situation, we urge you to personally engage decisively and constructively in the upcoming discussions. Without visible progress, the current industrial actions are likely to intensify further. We therefore invite you to an urgent meeting to identify practical solutions to the current situation and to work towards a fair, legal and sustainable salary adjustment that appropriately reflects both the Office’s strong financial position and the contribution of its staff.

crates to help with Fedora packaging workflows⦈ Transparency is fine and all, but it does not change the fact that slop is slop and Rust is Microsoft GitHub (proprietary). It also lacks cross-platform support. IBM's transition to slop paves the way for Fedora to do the same, if not by mandates from the employer, IBM (a lot of Fedora people are only_loyal_to_IBM because_they're_IBM_staff). Take these_latest_blog_posts_from_Red_Hat_as_an example. 100% of them are just slop promotion. That Fedora is racing to the bottom isn't a new problem. Fedora used to attract bright engineers, now it's just a sandbox for "vibers". It won't produce reliable code or stable systems one can rely upon. █ 5 days ago (there have been several more examples since; we saw a couple this week): Under_IBM,_Red_Hat_Replaces_Code_With_LLM_Slop,_Fedora_is_Slopware * IBM's_"Legacy_Employees"_(Experienced_Workers,_IBM_Management_Dubs_Them 'Dinobabies') * Gemini_Links_25/03/2026:_Resisting_Authoritarianism_and_Why_Slop_Needs_to Go_Away ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠻⣿⡿⡿⠿⠿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣷⣷⣶⣶⣾⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⠂⢿⢠⡄⡇⣴⢸⠁⠆⠁⠸⠀⡇⣦⢸⠰⠄⡇⡇⢰⢸⠀⠆⢸⣿⠠⠁⡇⠀⢸⢠⡆⡇⠰⠀⡁⠆⢸⠰⠀⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⠁⠀⢹⢿⣿⠀⠀⣿⡇⠀⢸⠀⠀⡆⢸⣿⠠⠆⡁⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣾⣾⣷⣷⣿⣾⣷⣶⣿⣶⣶⣷⣿⣾⣶⣾⣷⣷⣾⣾⣥⣤⣾⣿⣶⣶⣷⣶⣾⣾⣷⣿⣶⣶⣷⣶⣿⣤⣤⣷⣶⣾⣶⣾⣷⣶⣮⣼⣿⣶⣶⣿⣿⣶⣿⣶⣾⣷⣾⣿⣷⣶⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⡿⣿⢻⣿⣿⡟⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢈⠁⡇⠿⢸⠁⠀⡇⢸⣿⠁⠤⡇⢠⡅⠂⢱⠰⡇⠀⢸⠐⠈⣿⡆⢾⠠⠄⣿⡇⢠⢸⠁⠂⡃⢸⠠⠄⣿⣇⠃⠘⢸⠀⡆⢾⢠⡄⣿⡇⢈⣹⠀⠀⡇⠤⢸⠁⠄⡇⢠⠇⠂⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣷⣷⣶⣾⣷⣶⣿⣶⣿⣷⣶⣷⣾⣷⣶⣾⣶⣷⣶⣾⣶⣾⣿⣷⣾⣷⣾⣿⣷⣾⣾⣷⣶⣷⣾⣰⣶⣿⣿⣾⣷⣿⣶⣷⣾⣾⣷⣿⣷⣾⣿⣶⣾⣷⣶⣾⣷⣶⣷⣾⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢠⠌⡏⠀⢹⢡⠌⡇⠁⡬⢀⢸⠁⡄⢸⢸⠀⡄⡏⢠⠀⣿⡄⠃⠉⡘⢡⠌⡇⣤⠀⠡⡆⢠⠀⡏⠤⢱⠘⠀⠁⡏⠀⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣰⣶⣷⣶⣾⣶⣶⣷⣷⣶⣶⣾⣄⣂⣼⣾⣶⣷⣧⣐⣠⣿⣷⣾⣶⣿⣶⣶⣷⣿⣶⣶⣷⣾⣶⣷⣶⣾⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⠿⡿⢿⢿⢿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣵⣤⣼⣴⣼⣼⣤⣤⣤⣦⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⡿⡿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⢿⠿⠿⠿⡿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢷⣿⡶⢧⣶⣶⣶⣷⡶⣶⢶⣶⣶⣶⢾⣾⣷⢶⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣾⣶⢷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣷⣶⣶⣷⣾⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣷⣿⣼⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣼⣶⣼⣧⣴⣮⣼⣦⣤⣤⣾⣤⣤⣤⣄⣸⣤⣦⣼⣶⣧⣤⣦⣤⣤⣾⣤⣶⣸⣧⣤⣦⣮⣷⣮⣴⣤⣴⣦⣤⣽⣥⣤⣤⣷⣵⣿⣾⣼⣧⣦⣦⣤⣿⣦⣤⣧⣿⣾⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣁⣩⣉⣁⣿⣫⣉⣉⣹⣯⣩⣉⣹⣨⣹⣍⣍⣯⣉⣉⣏⣭⣽⣏⣍⣏⣍⣉⣉⣿⣁⣹⣀⣿⣹⣟⣹⣯⣉⣈⣽⣉⣈⣭⣭⣩⣿⣻⣀⣭⣉⣉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣉⣉⣉⣋⣉⣉⣉⣋⣻⣏⣯⣉⣝⣏⣋⣉⣉⣉⡉⢹⣩⣋⣉⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 557 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/03/25/GAFAM_Mozilla_Removes_Theora_Support_Now_GNU_Needs_to_Re_encode.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/03/25/GAFAM_Mozilla_Removes_Theora_Support_Now_GNU_Needs_to_Re_encode.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ GAFAM Mozilla Removes Theora Support, Now GNU Needs to Re-encode Videos⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 25, 2026 Weeks ago (or just over a week): GAFAM_Deprecating_Old_Videos_("Content")_by Removing_the_Support_for_Their_Format_for_No_Good_Reason This_week: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Dora Scilipoti⦈ From the page: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Download this video at a higher resolution⦈ Support for Theora was removed around the time Mozilla outsourced Firefox to proprietary software and to Microsoft: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Investigate removing Theora support⦈ Mozilla has since then done more_to_help_GAFAM at the expense of Free software.

More than 20 years ago and almost 25 years ago Mozilla was how we, the earlier GNU/Linux users, could still access many pages with remnants of Netscape support. This predated Firefox (or prior names for the same browser). A decade later Chrome-isms were starting to take over and now everyone is expected to use Google formats for video. Under the guise of "security" they've removed support for formats many people used and even Wikipedia had long used, even by default. This sort of "treadmill" (moving from one platform or format to another every decade or so) is highly corrosive to preservation of culture. Mozilla is a slop company. It doesn't know what preservation of culture (or even basic knowledge) means. █ * An_Open_Admission_Profits_Depend_on_Addiction *

Roy Schestowitz on Mar 25, 2026, updated Mar 25, 2026 Gnome_Foundation_Inc has amassed deep losses for several years. From projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/43572618 (based on authenticated IRS filings): 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Gnome Foundation Inc⦈ The above is self-explanatory, or so we hope (minus means loss and expenditures rose sharply). Gnome Foundation Inc has fired women (both of the ones named above, inside the circle), it fired several more women staff about 2 years ago, and it's generally men's club with east European "props" (low salary, obedience). The Gnome Foundation Inc got rid of its chief after only a few months (replaced by_full_time_IBM_staff) without specifying a reason and after not much time with a Shaman in Chief. So their retention of staff is terrible and now they are publicly begging for money. They don't use those words, they say "fellowship program". They basically ask donors to help GAFAM and IBM, sort of like the Linux Foundation asking for donations. What's the point if the agenda is set by GAFAM and IBM rather than donors? █ * Links_25/03/2026:_Airports_Further_Militarised,_"Slopification_and_Its

OpenText, Weeks Ahead the Mass Layoffs Begin⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 25, 2026 10_hours ago by Alex Riehl: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇OpenText employees report job cuts tied to apparent restructuring⦈ From this report: "The layoffs come just one month before former IBM Americas president Ayman Antoun is set to become OpenText’s new CEO. Antoun will claim the position from interim CEO James McGourlay on April 20, ending the company’s fluid leadership situation after ousting longtime leader Mark Barrenechea last August." Meanwhile at IBM: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Here the Chapter ends and moving foot steps to another Chapter with new Chalenges Thank You IBM for lot⦈ IBM has layoffs. The media barely mentions any of these. This is intentional. IBM knows that if the layoffs get implemented in some particular ways, then it won't run afoul of the law by failing to issue WARN notices. IBM has many layoffs in the US and in some cases people get pushed out. The latter makes layoffs even more challenging to track. There's now a report (see above) about former IBM Americas president Ayman Antoun coming to a company and layoffs accompanying his arrival. Is that what IBM will be good at? The "Gerstner"_way? █ * Over_at_Tux_Machines... * An_Open_Admission_Profits_Depend_on_Addiction ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿

(Experienced Workers, IBM Management Dubs Them 'Dinobabies')⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 25, 2026 Two weeks ago: IBM_'Dinobabies'_Speak_Out Today: (2_hours_ago_by_Jen_Colletta) 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Age discrimination and layoffs: Where is the link?⦈ IBM executives have considerable and fast-growing pains, compensation_aside. IBM is becoming synonymous with mischief or worse (like cheating or fraud). IBM has reputation and fiscal crises. It's trying to hide them. These days IBM tries to hide its mass layoffs. This can backfire because of IBM insiders know that a lot of layoffs are happening and if nobody in the media mentions these, then suspicion of the employer grows, loyalty sinks, and trust in the media likewise. People begin to trust colleagues, not bosses, and unverified gossip, not the official company's Web site. Hours ago somebody_wrote: "There will be layoffs as IBM has plenty of plans to keep buying innovation via acquiring SW companies As such legacy employees and most likely consulting will get hit. There is also speculation that IBM wants to just focus on the Fortune 500, and as such everything else will move to the channel and be partnered out. NET NET IBM NA and IBM Europe will definitely continue to shed legacy employees" (the_CFO_admitted_this). This notion of "legacy employees" seems like something overlapping with "expensive" (well paid) staff, even if not entirely equivalent. It's not about legacy (old) products, the notion of "legacy employees" refers to seniority or time at IBM (with pay grade increments, pay increases and so on). IBM does not like to hire and promote where people are paid more. It's not about knowledge, it's about cooking the book and cheapening IBM's expenditures (as revenue cannot grow except by buying other companies' revenue, then squeezing_their_inherited-through-acquisition_customers). █ * EPO's_"Current_Industrial_Actions_Are_Likely_to_Intensify_Further." * Fedora_Maintainer-ship_Using_Slop_(Mistakes)_Would_Make_Fedora_Less Reliable ⣿⠛⠛⢻⠿⡿⠿⠻⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⠿⢿⣿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡀⠀⢸⣀⡄⣀⡐⡇⠀⢀⢀⢀⠐⡀⣃⢀⣀⣀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⣥⣤⣤⣬⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣬⣥⣤⣴⣤⣭⣭⣥⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⣧⣤⣤⣬⣤⣤⣤⣶⣯ ⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿ ⣶⣶⣶⣶⢠⡒⢲⠒⢒⡖⠒⠒⡒⢲⡂⡒⣲⡶⠐⢒⢲⠒⡒⣒⠒⠒⢲⠂⠖⢲⠒⠒⠲⡒⢲⠒⢐⡶⠂⢰⠒⣒⠒⠒⢒⠒⠒⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢿⣿⡿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢁⠩⠉⠉⢹⠩⠨⠈⠉⠭⠩⠀⠩⠉⠇⠍⠙⠉⠀⠸⠩⡉⠍⡏⠉⠩⠉⠅⠿⠈⠉⡉⡉⠉⠀⠀⠉⢽⣆⣀⣼⠨⠏⢹⢩⠉⣿⠸⠙⣇⠅⠍⠉⣿⠸⠨⠭⠇⠩⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢛⠿⠿⡟⠿⢿⢿⠿⠿⢻⠿⢿⢿⠿⣟⠿⣿⠿⠿⢿⣿⠿⡿⠻⢿⡟⠿⡿⠿⠿⡿⠿⢿⠿⠿⢿⠟⠿⡿⡿⠿⢿⠿⡿⠿⢿⡿⡟⡟⠿⠿⢿⡻⠿⡿⠿⡿⠿⠛⢿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠷⠶⢶⢷⡶⠾⡖⠒⠚⣷⠾⢶⠷⢿⢶⢿⠶⢾⣾⡷⠷⠿⡿⡾⢷⠶⠷⠶⡷⡶⢶⠾⡶⠴⡾⢶⠶⡶⢷⢶⢾⡶⠶⡶⡾⡿⠷⡶⠶⠶⡿⡷⢶⢷⢶⠿⠾⢶⢾⢶⠴⠷⠶⠾⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⢶⣾⣷⣶⣧⣤⣤⣽⣷⣷⣧⡴⡾⣶⣷⣾⣿⢾⣶⣿⣾⣾⣽⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⣷⣾⣿⣶⣶⣾⣷⣾⣶⣿⣶⣷⣷⣷⣾⣾⣶⣾⣾⣾⣮⣿⣷⣾⣿⣷⣷⣧⣼⣷⣶⣷⣷⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣤⣤⣴⣦⣷⣤⣤⣧⣄⣤⣷⣤⣼⣤⣤⣤⣧⣴⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1114 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/03/25/IRC_Proceedings_Tuesday_March_24_2026.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/03/25/IRC_Proceedings_Tuesday_March_24_2026.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ IRC Proceedings: Tuesday, March 24, 2026⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 25, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Wall decoration with a small file cabinet a plant growing from one drawer⦈ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GN 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_Gedit⦈_ #techrights_log #boycottnovell_log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GN 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇GNOME_Gedit⦈_ #boycottnovell-social_log #techbytes_log =============================================================================== The corresponding text-only bulletins for_Tux_Machines and for_Techrights contain all the text.

Schestowitz on Mar 25, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Trial of a Sow and Pigs at Lavegny⦈ My wife's grandfather used to have a saying that was already not too uncommon. "Lawyers are liars" is what he kept saying and he wanted none of his kids or grandkids to become lawyers. He thought they had all mastered the art of twisting facts or making the good people look guilty, whereas the guilty parties somehow become "victims" (through creative storytelling). There's a widespread stigma of lawyers being manipulative and chronically dishonest, so that_they_do_the_same_with_their_finances_ought_not_be_so shocking. Almost half a decade ago I saw how our employer was likely embezzling money (before realising that it had also embezzled my colleagues and I; a_very large_pension_provided_later_formally_confirmed_this_to_my_colleagues_and_I). It seemed like money paid by a client for hosting bills (Bytemark) was instead diverted elsewhere and our boss, already sheltering himself in the US after a rather ugly divorce (his second divorce), was 'shuffling' through credit cards trying to pay a client's set of bills (that the client had already paid for). Put another way, he was not only borrowing lots of money; he was misusing money meant for one purpose to cover other things, e.g. paying salaries using money allocated for critical operations. From what I can gather (and could gather years ago), the solicitors' firm we chose 2 years ago was financially stable and unlikely to misuse funds. Now, in 2026, it's hard to say the same about any law firm. Here in Manchester, for instance, a lot of law firms shut down and some got 'folded' (absorbed) into larger ones - basically an "exit" (a way of dissolving). The same goes for the old and Manchester-based firm of our solicitor, based on its last financial report (before it ceased to exist). One aspect we'd like to show (having long explored it) in the coming years is the true state of law firms. They all pretend to be vastly bigger than they really are ("skeleton crews"), they pretend to be doing exceptionally well (even when they're on the verge of collapse), and they can become "leeches" to their clients, whom they eventually exploit for business purposes irrespective of their clients' interests. Techrights has long written about lawyers, typically patent lawyers and sometimes copyright lawyers (we wrote more about defamation lawyers when the pestering_began_to_intensify_in_2015) and it's a topic not many news sites are willing to touch because it's considered "risky" when thin-skinned men with a law degree (they mostly use women as "props") try to crush criticism and censor negative reviews. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Trial_of_a_Sow_and_Pigs_at_Lavegny

Biggest_"AI_Companies"_(Meta,_Alphabet,_Microsoft)_Borrowed_(Additional Debt)_About_$100,000,000,000_in_a_Year It has been exceptionally_cold_lately (we might get snow) and it's almost April. Energy prices go up, as another energy source (first Russia, now the Gulf) won't deliver, impacting a lot of sectors that critically depend on energy or convert energy into something else. Self-described "AI companies" are notorious for energy consumption; locals typically blame them for rise in energy bills. The war in Iran will hurt those companies really badly. It'll also incite the general public against them. It should be noted that fake news about Microsoft OpenAI doubling workforce (mere words, not actions) can serve as a nice distraction from the death of Sora due to divestment. Microsoft OpenAI is dying and passing the hat looking for any late "investors" that can save it. █ =============================================================================== Image source: Frederick_Whitney =============================================================================== * It's_Always_a_Question_of_Trust * Gemini_Links_25/03/2026:_Blogging_Fright_and_Absolutely_Useless_'Apps' Made_by_Slop_Machines ⠏⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠈⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠁⠉⠁⠈⠉⠀⠉⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠉⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠹ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢘ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣭⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠠⣿⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⠀⠄⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⡃⣢⣆⢀⣰⢾⡄⠀⠀⢀⠠⠀⢨⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⢦⣤⣠⣾⣿⣸⣶⣤⣴⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣄⣠⣾⣷⣶⣾⣿⣦⠂⣀⠀⣴⣦⠄⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠤⠽⠦⠤⠶⠴⠤⠤⠦⠠⠀⠶⠐⠶⠆⠐⠂⠀⠂⠒⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⠀⠀⠂⠀⣘⣿⠋⠉⢙⣭⣷⢸⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⢠⣤⢹⣿⣮⣴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⢈⢡⣱⣶⣷⣿⣷⣞⣽⣿⠃⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡌⡤⠀⢿⣛⠋⠀⣀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣤⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣼⣠⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸ ⢸⣯⢨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢼⣿⣿⣿⡿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⡀⠕⠃⠀⠐⠛⠒⠃⠋⣁⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⣀⣠⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀ ⢸⣿⢽⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠈⠁⠉⠀⠀⠈⣠⣶⣟⣛⣛⠘⡀⠁⠉⠻⢿⣿⣞⣿⣯⣬⡟⠃⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⡀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢹⣿⣻⣻⣳⣿⠟⠄⢬⣽⣛⠿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣯⢵⠐⢖⢒⡐⣀⠀⠈⠓⣞⣙⡎⣩⣿⢲⣪⡏⡉⡿⠻⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢨⡛⢉⡟⣿⣿⣿⠟⠋⠋⠀⠈⠉⠉⠉⢸⡇⠸⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⡝⣿⠃⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣿⣿⢿⣽⠟⠣⡍⠈⠀⠨⠀⠀⠈⢯⠉⠁⠉⣀⣠⣾⠿⠃⢠⠜⠀⠀⡴⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⣁⠀⢤⣤⣤⣴⣶⣶⣶⠀⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣧⡀⠽⣯⣿⣿⣿⣽⣷⣄⠉⠉⠀⠈⠁⠉⠸⠿⢿⡿⢿⣟⡋⠋⡁⠃⠀⡀⡁⣠⡄⢠⡤⠄⠄⠚⠀⠈⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠨⠂⠀⠁⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢸⢗⠿⢧⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⡗⣚⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣬⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⠘⠈⢖⣷⠋⠀⠀⠈⠁⠁⠉⠤⠀⠀⠐⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠠⣆⠂⠒⠈⠉⢉⣿⡿⠀⢨⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣀⣿⣥⣤⣤⣤⣤⡤⠠⠰⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠄⠀⠄⠁⡈⠂⠀⠐⠉⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⠛⠉⠉⡏⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀ ⢠⣴⣷⣄⣘⠚⠠⣶⡎⢣⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⡄⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⣤⣶⣶⣶⢯⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀ ⠸⣿⣷⣾⣿⣷⣤⣏⣧⢈⣿⣿⣿⣗⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣇⣴⠖⠀⢚⠀⠀⠀⠀⠃⣇⡂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣄⣤⣤⣴⣧⡔⠛⠛⠛⠙⠀⠀⡊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠅ ⢠⡻⠶⢿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣾⣸⣿⣿⣿⠋⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⠀⠀⡀⢅⠀⠈⠀⡀⠀⠀⣤⢾⢿⣿⣴⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⢋⠙⠙⣈⠀⡀⠠⠄⠀⠐⠂⡐⢀⠀⡂⠀⠀⢦⠀⡆ ⢸⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⡼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⢀⣴⣫⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣟⣿⣾⣷⣶⣶⣾⣶⣴⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣶⡆⠔⠀⠃ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢨⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⡆ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⡇⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡇⢿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢿⣿⣷⠿⠿⠟⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣄⣆⣈⣛⡛⢻⣿⣭⣽⣿⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⡯⡿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠈⣿⣿⣷⠹⣮⣜⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⠼⣷⣿⣿⣏⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢰⣿⣿⣿⢸⢿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠛⠁⠨⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⢸⠑⢿⣿⣿⣜⠃⡀⠘⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡅⢶⣶⡛⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⢮⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⣪⣷⣿⣿⠋⠐⢠⢄⡽⢷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⢠⣀⠻⢿⣿⣿⣀⠀⠘⠮⣀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⣸⣿⣷⣿⣿⣹⡟⠁⠀⠐⢛⣿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢀⢿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⠧⠀⣐⡀⢚⠻⠦⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⡘⠛⢿⣛⣻⣿⣦⣀⠀⠀⠘⣋⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢟⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡇ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1993 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/03/25/SLAPP_Censorship_Part_23_Out_of_200_We_Were_Right_All_Along_for.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/03/25/SLAPP_Censorship_Part_23_Out_of_200_We_Were_Right_All_Along_for.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ SLAPP Censorship - Part 23 Out of 200: We Were Right All Along (for 2 Years) About Third Party Funding and Willingness to 'Break the Bank' in Pursuit of "Revenge"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 25, 2026 How much damage can a person do to oneself in pursuit of cover-up_of_legitimate technical_concerns? 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GAFAM bank⦈ This morning we published a couple of short articles about law firms and their handling (or mishandling) of money. We brought this up because the SRA is back in the headlines this week. Today there's an article about misuse of money or rogue accounting in law firms. Funding by our opponents was discussed internally 2 years ago. "Putting aside worries that some third party is funding this legal attack," I said, there are many other concerns. A year later it was openly and explicitly confirmed that third parties were, indeed, funding our opponents. "This should not be brought up ... yet," said an associate in 2024. The issue was escalated to the Court in 2025 because there was a clear admission right from the horse's mouth. By summer of 2025 there had already been several special arrangements for third parties to fund very expensive litigation against us, volleying over 75 KG of legal papers into our place of residence. Since yesterday's article there has been silence, no pushback, probably because they realise that all this embarrassing information was a self-inflicted wound. Another noteworthy aspect is health. Earlier this month our opponents openly confessed having problems with sleep - a hallmark of concerns about one's own actions. More so when they come to light and scrutiny. Sometimes it boils down to guilt and self-loathing. In 2024 we moreover explained the following. (Old text below) =============================================================================== § Why This is Concerning⠀➾ There is another aspect, which may involve debt or "kamikaze"-style attacks. The Claimant is in chronically bad health, with habitual emergency room (ER) visits. These are very notoriously expensive in the US (he writes about his severe health problems in public) and this extrapolated to further speculations. This can make him potentially more menacing, i.e. desperate and dangerous, as he's willing to exhaust his financial capacity and his time. He seems to have ample free time; barely employed, and neither coding nor writing, instead spending time and resources just seeking revenge to the extent feasible by means of SLAPP. He'd be willing to destroy his own finances just to make sure someone else does too. His mental character (as noted before, this is a real issue which already involves seeking professional help; he openly admits this) further supports this concern. How to deal with scenarios like these is an open question. There are no provisions in law that can discriminate against or counteract a morbid mindset such as ability to represent oneself. =============================================================================== He has since then had a fallout in his family. It became a public conflict. "Whether this is something for which there a specific legal term may depend on the country," an associate said, "but some people with mental conditions cannot appear in court, as they are considered unfit to do so." In the trial he was hiding behind his barrister. When on the podium for cross- examination he was evasive and later on his barrister admitted that he had suffered stress in cross-examination (despite the Judge saying I was courteous all along). The way I see it, we hardly deal with sane people here; they're projecting in anonymous (from burner accounts) E-mail threats. We'll carry on illuminating all those facts. █ * Gnome_Foundation_Inc_is_in_Trouble * This_Morning_The_Register_MS_Published_Slop_Promotion_With_the_Term_"AI" 15_Times_In_It._The_Register_MS_Was_(As_Usual)_Paid_to_Do_This ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡐⠰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠛⠷⢶⣤⣄⣀⠈⠁⣈⣿⡤⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣶⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣆⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⣤⡠⢀⣴⣿⠙⠛⠳⢆⣩⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⢿⣿⣶⠀⡀⢸⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣄⠀⠀ ⠐⠶⣶⣤⣤⣄⣉⣉⣛⠛⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣨⡙⠁⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠈⣿⠀⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡌⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶ ⠠⣄⣨⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣯⣭⣿⣾⣶⣽⣭⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠟⡳⢶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣚⠀⠀⠐⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⣰⣿⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣷⠫⣯⡙⡻⣷⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⡀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⡆⢸⣙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠠⠈⣿⣿⣿⡏⠙⠻ ⣯⣵⢿⣇⠁⠀⠀⠩⠈⠋⣑⠉⠹⠉⠛⠛⠙⠻⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣾⣯⣽⣿⣟⡻⠷⠠⠀⠀⣿⣯⣽⣟⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡍⠻⢿⣿⡇⢸⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣷⡆⠀ ⢿⢿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⢈⣋⠋⠉⠻⠉⠛⡿⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣆⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣾⡿⠁⢸⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⣄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀ ⠒⠿⠻⣿⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠡⠥⢉⣫⣋⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣽⣿⣇⣼⡿⠁⠀⢸⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀ ⠘⣛⣐⣷⡆⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠉⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⡧⠈⣀⠙⣛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⠀⠇⠾⠟⠉⠀⠀⠀ ⡴⣷⣀⣟⣦⠀⡇⠀⢸⣿⠟⠉⠙⢻⡟⠛⠛⡟⠛⠛⠟⠛⠛⣿⠿⠿⡿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣤⡄⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣿⣟⣉⣹⣋⣿⠿⠇⠀⢸⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣾⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀ ⡖⣿⢿⣷⡩⠀⠁⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⠀⢬⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠒⠃⠀⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⡿⠻⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠁⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⡀⠀⢀⡀⠤⠤⠤⠀ ⣔⣷⣿⣿⡀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⠀⠐⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⣶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣦⣤⠟⠿⠿⡿⢸⣿⣿⠟⣿⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣧⡄⢸⠀⠀⠀⣤⣈ ⣾⡿⣿⣿⡧⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠛⠒⠓⠒⠲⠶⢶⣶⣶⣷⡤⠼⢤⣤⣤⣦⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⣿⣽⣻⢻⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣤⡄⠀⢉⣉⣉⣉⣯⣯⣿⣿⣏⠸⠿⠿⠿⠻⠀⠀⢲⣶⣾ ⢛⣤⣴⡛⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣤⠀⢹⣿⣿⡏⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⠀⠘⣿⣿⡇⢰⣿⠀⣾⡿⠉⣩⣟⠀⣿⣿⣯⣹⢙⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠉⠁⠀⠼⣿⣿⣯⣭⡤⠄⠀⠀⠀⠴⢶⣿⣊⣁⠀⢸⣿⣧ ⠶⢛⡽⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠛⠛⠛⠛⠀⣸⣿⡿⠀⣠⠀⢻⣿⣿⠀⡀⠈⢿⡇⢸⣿⠀⠋⢀⣼⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⡏⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⠧⠀⠀⠀⠀⣄⡄⡀⣀⡀⣴⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣦⣯⣭⡿⠿⠿⣷⣶⣾⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣦⣬⢳⠿⡦⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⠀⠀⣤⣤⣤⣄⠀⠹⣿⠃⠠⠿⠆⠈⣿⣿⠀⣿⡄⠈⠃⢸⣿⠀⣠⡀⢻⣿⣿⠀⢻⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠉⠁⠙⠟⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⡌⠢⢻⡄⣸⣿⣿ ⣽⣯⣤⡄⠎⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠿⠀⢀⡏⠀⣤⣴⣶⡀⠸⣿⠀⣿⣿⣆⠀⢸⣿⠀⣿⣷⡀⢻⣿⠀⢸⣿⣧⣤⡿⡯⠤⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣛⠻⡟⠻⡷⠈⠛⣶⠸⡇⠛⣿⣿ ⡼⣿⣿⣷⣦⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⢀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣞⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣭⣤⣿⣿⣿⣦⣾⣿⣶⣿⣿⣶⣶⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⢸⠉⢀⡳⠀⢠⠀⠀⣿⣼⡇⠀⢸⣿ ⣥⡿⣻⡓⡟⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢠⣼⡿⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⠤⠤⠴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢿⣿⡿⠚⠒⠒⠺⠶⠶⣤⠶⣿⣿⡇⠀⠈⠺ ⠼⣟⣿⣟⡁⠀⡆⣤⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣷⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣈⣏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⠂⠐⢿⣟⡇⠀⠀⠀ ⡉⠹⣿⠷⢦⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣽⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⢿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠟⠋⠇⠀⠀⠀ ⣘⠷⣽⣟⠇⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⢟⣛⣛⣻⣭⣭⣭⣉⣴⣤⣾⣯⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠿⢿⣿⣿⡗⠀⣿⣿⠋⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣛⣛⣛⣛⡭⠭⠭⠽⠶⣶⣶⣺⣩⣉⣿⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣭⣭⣴⣾⣿⣶⣶⡗⠀⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⢘⠂⣿⣿⣷⣦⡁⢁⣤⠄⠒⢲⠻⠋⠭⠍⣀⣀⣼⣭⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠷⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠑⠀⢉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣴⣶⣤⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠛⠋⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐ ⡀⣀⣸⣿⣟⢻⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠛⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣤⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠛⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⣠⣴⣶⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠉⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣻⣵⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠄⣀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣭⣀⠐⠳⠾⣾⣿⣿⠗⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠘⠈⣡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⣀⣤⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣦⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2125 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/03/25/Solicitors_Regulation_Authority_SRA_Must_More_Carefully_Investi.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/03/25/Solicitors_Regulation_Authority_SRA_Must_More_Carefully_Investi.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Must More Carefully Investigate or Assess the Financial State of Law Firms in the UK⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 25, 2026 A_few_hours_ago: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇SRA Shuts Quarter Of Firms Over Accounting Breaches⦈ Also this week: (suppressed topic) 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it⦈ Last year I pointed out that, not for the first time, it seemed like the hired guns who target me (and_my_family) had_serious_financial_problems. They're basically very deep in debt, they're shrinking (declining staff numbers, based on their own accounting), and whenever I asked for proof of SFC (Security_for Costs_in_Civil_Litigation; it's_a_circular_issue) they just issued some informal E-mail with "pinky promise", short of actual material evidence of funds being available. After recent SRA scandals (belated shutdown of a large firm that embezzled or misused clients' money [1, 2] - an_issue_I'm_well_familiar_with) the SRA must really be a lot stricter. Nowadays a lot of law firms grab clients' money based on false promises. Those clients will end up deep in debt, hopeful in vain based on false promises/assurances made privately by lawyers. We'll cover this in depth in the future. █ * GAFAM_Mozilla_Removes_Theora_Support,_Now_GNU_Needs_to_Re-encode_Videos * It's_Always_a_Question_of_Trust

I get caught up on word choice and sentence structure; struggle to make sure the ideas in my head are "extra-legible". in an age of social media, a blog sort of becomes professional by contrast. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

I usually run modules. It’s strange to me because I feel so much more guilty when PCs die (so far two have died across three sessions) or when I try to find the notebook where the special treasures are or when I’ve missed a prep area and have to fall back to tier three truths much more often than when using modules. I also did not make the campaign deliberately extra deadly “to teach them a lesson to be careful what they wish for” after they wanted to go back to D&D from Fate but I’m really worried that they will believe I did. Overall I’m having a lot of fun and loving the campaign because the players have been bringing their A-game. I’m so impressed by them and grateful for them. # ⚓ Exacerbate⠀⇛ I use the word “exacerbate” way too much and unlike some of my other pet phrases (like "a li'l", "on the cinder", "the life-changing magic of", and "probably better known as") it’s starting to sound weird to me now. It’s too fancy and weird and specific of a word to be jammed three times into every essay. Normally I try to not put the same word or phrase twice in the same paragraph (I don't always catch it for first publication but I go back and edit older essays all the time and this is one of the things I'm always on the hunt for) or even in the same essay if it’s something that’s really out there, pet phrase or no. o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ resisting_authoritarianism_#7:_cultivate_a_low-profile, high-impact_presence⠀⇛ Tough question time: Do you want to change things, or do you want to *be seen* changing things? People who gravitate toward the first one don't need advice on low-profile, high-impact presence - they already are one. People who gravitate toward the second, however.... I'm here for you. The US (and global popular cultures generally) are celebrity-driven. We tend to assume that you need a large, loud platform to make a difference because that's what we see in the media. The media IS large, loud platforms. But take any one celebrity off the air, and not a lot changes in your daily life. You can't say the same for eliminating, say, your town's garbage collectors. Or your mail carrier. Or that ER nurse who noticed something no one else did and thus saved your life. (Mine was named Kendra and I pray for her daily.) o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Fun_and_good_and_it_still_has_to_go_away⠀⇛ It’s like cars. I oppose cars but I actually love riding in the shotgun seat on the open road bopping to that hecking song that goes “and all that I can see is just another lemon tree”. Yeah, yeah, I get motion sick on small bumpy country roads but being in transit, being on the way between places, feels good somehow. And that joy of course pales in comparison to all the good cars do, what they enable, all the problems that cars solved. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ My_Butlerian_hypocrisy⠀⇛ In the Butlerian Jihad (from Dune but popularized by many smolnet posters like Alex Schroeder) we rightly hate bots and scrapers but I’m in a bit of a glass house around that, since I’ve made a few scrapers for my own personal use as a way to get RSS Atom feeds out of sites that don’t have feeds. I love scraping and mashing.♥︎ The JS-laden SPA era was a nightmare for me. I hate browsers and server-side styling. I love getting texts from URLs. # ⚓ Backup_Backup_Restore⠀⇛ Today, I recompile and update Lagrange. When I open it, I notice that by bookmarks are gone. Hmm, it might be that the new lagrange somehow don't understand the bookmark, I thought. I look into its config directory to find that bookmark file, whattttttt, it is empty? =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

I’m not sacrificing anything except the time it takes me to write these posts or tape some videos. I’m not risking anything, either. I’m not going to lose my job, because I’m no longer employed. I’m not risking friendships, because most of my friends agree with me. I don’t mind receiving angry emails and letters, because I’ve got a very thick skin. I could be harmed, I suppose, but I’m an old man with not so many years left anyway. Third, I’m no different from tens of millions who are doing what they can. This is a national emergency, and all of us are called upon to save our country from the sociopath in the Oval Office and his dangerous lapdogs. It just happens that the thing I can do is write and talk to a camera. o ⚓ Dan MacKinlay ☛ Local_social_platforms:_a_technical implementation_guide_—_The_Dan_MacKinlay_stable_of_variably-well- consider’d_enterprises⠀⇛ This is the technical companion to A social platform for your neighbourhood, which lays out the social and institutional case for community-owned local platforms. That post is the why. This one is the how—or at least a plausible how, since the right technical choices depend heavily on what the community actually wants to build. o ⚓ Matt Birchler ☛ Analyst_hat_comes_off,_reviewer_hat_goes_on⠀⇛ As an analyst, I’m interested in helping people understand Apple as a company, why they make the decisions they do, and what that could mean for the future of their products. This is not the same thing as being a reviewer, which is all about giving consumers useful information when they’re considering whether they want to buy a product. When I wear my analyst hat, I’m thinking about profit margins, supply chains, and product segmentation, but when I put my reviewer hat on, I’m really just thinking about customer value. o ⚓ Astrid Yu ☛ curl_>_/dev/sda⠀⇛ How I made a Linux distro that runs `wget | dd` o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ NASA_abandons_Lunar_Gateway_plans_for base_on_Lunar_surface⠀⇛ NASA's ambitious plans to build a space station in orbit of the Moon are officially on hold, administrator Jared Isaacman said Tuesday, with the space agency instead skipping the orbital habitat in favor of building a permanent base on the Lunar surface. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ NASA_wants_to_put_a_$20_billion_base_on_the Moon_|_The_Verge⠀⇛ According to NASA, the agency aims to build the base in three phases, with the first involving the development of communications and navigation systems, along with the delivery of robotic landers and vehicles to help astronauts traverse the Moon. The next will involve “recurring astronaut operations on the surface” of the Moon, followed by the establishment of a “long-duration human presence,” allowing for the delivery of heavier infrastructure to create a permanent lunar base. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Critics_call_FCC_router_rule_a_‘big swing’_that_could_create_more_supply_chain_uncertainty⠀⇛ Under the Secure Equipment Act and Secure Networks Act, the FCC may ban foreign technology manufacturers if they are deemed a national security risk. But the federal government has almost always opted to narrowly target specific foreign companies with known or problematic connections to foreign adversaries, like Chinese telecom Huawei or Russian antivirus firm Kaspersky Labs. # ⚓ Android Police ☛ The_FCC_just_banned_all_foreign-made routers⠀⇛ It's worth noting that some routers "produced" in foreign countries will be allowed to be imported to the US, albeit only after said company has been granted a conditional approval by the DoW (Department of War) or the DHS (Department of Homeland Security). The FCC has a link to find companies that have gained said 'conditional approval,' and as of today, it only lists a few drone-related companies. # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Digital_Biology_with_R:_Advanced_Bioinformatics, Predictive_Modeling,_and_Time_Series_Analysis_for_Modern_Life Sciences⠀⇛ Digital biology is no longer a niche intersection between biology and computation. It has become a core framework for how modern laboratories, biomedical teams, and translational researchers generate insight from complex biological systems. Whether the objective is to identify gene- expression signatures, model disease progression, classify patient subgroups, or study temporal changes in biological signals, the ability to work fluently with data is now inseparable from the practice of advanced life science. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ California State University Northridge ☛ In-person_vs. online:_How_CSUN_students_learn_differently⠀⇛ CSUN students learn differently every day. Some learn in lecture classrooms, taking notes as professors educate. Others attend Zoom meetings in the library nook with headphones in, attending synchronous courses in between times of self- learning. Then there are students who learn asynchronously, finishing their online coursework on their own time. Each of these class formats – in-person, remote or hybrid – impact students’ ability to manage time, stay focused and determine success on CSUN’s campus. # ⚓ Marc Brooker ☛ My_heuristics_are_wrong._What_now?⠀⇛ Over the next couple of years, the most valuable people to have on a software team are going to be experienced folks who’re actively working to keep their heuristics fresh. Who can combine curiosity with experience. Among the least valuable people to have on a software team are experienced folks who aren’t willing to change their thinking. Beyond that, it’s hard to see. # ⚓ CER ☛ Spring_2026_PCAS_Update:_Recruiting_a_new_Lecturer⠀⇛ Our sections pretty much fill up these days, so our growth comes from offering more sections. We are trying to hire lecturers every year. We’re up to three now: [...] o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Arm_Holdings,_in_Break_From_Past,_Will Sell_Its_Own_Computer_Chips⠀⇛ The company, a British unit of Japan’s SoftBank, on Tuesday announced plans for the first silicon product that Arm will design and sell since its founding in 1990. It is a microprocessor aimed at data centers running artificial intelligence tasks. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Arm_moves_beyond_IP_with_AGI_CPU_silicon_— 136-core_data_center_chip_targets_AI_infrastructure_with_Meta as_lead_partner⠀⇛ The chip packs up to 136 Neoverse V3 cores running at up to 3.2 GHz all-core and 3.7 GHz boost across two dies, all within a 300-watt TDP. It supports 12 channels of DDR5 memory at up to 8800 MT/s, delivering more than 800 GB/s of aggregate memory bandwidth or 6GB/s per core with a target of sub- 100ns latency. I/O includes 96 PCIe Gen6 lanes and native CXL 3.0 support for memory expansion and pooling. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Arm_rolls_its_own_136-core_AGI_CPU_to chase_AI_hype_train⠀⇛ While GPUs have gotten the lion’s share of attention in recent years, the rise of agentic systems like OpenClaw have brought the need for general-purpose compute back into view. These frameworks need CPU cores and memory to write and execute code, automate tasks, and facilitate the reinforcement learning used to train next gen models. Arm is betting on the proliferation of these agents to drive a four-fold increase in CPU demand, and it’s positioning its latest chip to capitalize on this trend. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Arm_Is_Now_Making_Its_Own_Chips⠀⇛ “Let me be clear: We are now in a new business for ARM, and we are supplying CPUs,” Haas said, holding up one of the company's new chips. Arm’s primary reason for moving in this direction, Haas said, is demand from customers.. But as artificial intelligence proliferates throughout the economy and demand for computing resources skyrockets, Arm is also trying to capture a sliver of the growing AI CPU market. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ From_Zip_To_Nought:_The_Rise_And_Fall_Of Iomega⠀⇛ If you were anywhere near a computer in the mid-to- late 1990s, you almost certainly encountered a Zip drive. That distinctive purple peripheral, with its satisfying clunk as you slotted in a cartridge, was as much a fixture of the era as beige tower cases and CRT monitors. Iomega, the company behind it, went from an obscure Utah outfit to a multi- billion-dollar darling of Wall Street in the span of about two years. And then, almost as quickly, it all fell apart. The story of Iomega is one of genuine engineering innovation and the fickle nature of consumer technology. As with so many other juggernauts of its era, Iomega was eventually brought down by a new technology that simply wasn’t practical to counter. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ India Times ☛ Meta_ordered_to_pay_$375_million_in_New Mexico_trial_over_child_exploitation,_user_safety_claims⠀⇛ The verdict marks the first time a jury has ruled on such claims against Meta, as the company faces a wave of lawsuits over how its platforms affect young people's mental health. # ⚓ The Washington Post ☛ New_Mexico_wins_case_alleging_Meta put_kids_at_risk_of_sexual_abuse⠀⇛ A jury in New Mexico sided with the state attorney general’s office in a landmark case accusing social media giant Meta of allowing its platforms to become venues for child predators to solicit young users. # ⚓ BBC ☛ Meta_told_to_pay_$375m_for_misleading_users_over child_safety⠀⇛ A jury found that Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, was liable for the way in which its platforms endangered children and exposed them to sexually explicit material and contact with sexual predators. # ⚓ Politico LLC ☛ Meta_hit_with_$375M_verdict_in_New_Mexico child_safety_case⠀⇛ The verdict stipulates that Meta must pay $375 million in civil penalties for violating New Mexico’s Unfair Practices Act, a consumer protection law. “Meta executives knew their products harmed children, disregarded warnings from their own employees, and lied to the public about what they knew,” New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez said in a press release. “Today the jury joined families, educators, and child safety experts in saying enough is enough.” # ⚓ NPR ☛ New_Mexico_jury_says_Meta_harms_children's_mental health_and_safety,_violating_state_law⠀⇛ The jury agreed with allegations that Meta made false or misleading statements and also agreed that Meta engaged in "unconscionable" trade practices that unfairly took advantage of the vulnerabilities of and inexperience of children. # ⚓ RFI ☛ New_Mexico_jury_finds_Meta_liable_for_endangering children⠀⇛ "Meta executives knew their products harmed children, disregarded warnings from their own employees, and lied to the public about what they knew," he added. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Meta_ordered_to_pay_$375_million_over_child exploitation_in_landmark_verdict_-_France_24⠀⇛ During closing arguments, prosecution attorney Linda Singer told jurors that Meta's algorithms had directed adults toward content posted by teenage users while the company concealed internal findings about the risks to young people. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Meta_misled_users_about_its_products’_safety, jury_decides⠀⇛ Meta willfully violated New Mexico law by misleading users about the safety of its products and engaging in an unconscionable trade practice, a jury found. The company will face a $375 million penalty for the violations, awarding the maximum penalty of $5,000 per violation for 37,500 violations across two counts. The jury decided against Meta on every count, though it declined to award a penalty as high as the state sought, which would have been closer to $2 billion. # ⚓ Scicomm Media LLC ☛ Tools_to_Manage_Dopamine_and_Improve Motivation_&_Drive⠀⇛ Dopamine is a molecule in the brain and body that is closely linked to our sense of motivation. It can also enhance our depth of focus and lower our threshold for taking action toward specific goals. The simplest way to think about dopamine is that when our dopamine levels are elevated, we tend to focus our attention on outward goals — the things we want — and we feel motivated to pursue them. “Dopamine is about wanting, not about having,” said Dr. Anna Lembke, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and the chief of the Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic at Stanford, on the Huberman Lab Podcast (and she is 100% correct). Contrast that with serotonin, which is associated not so much with “wanting” but with feelings of well-being about what we already have. These are generalizations of course — dopamine and serotonin do other things too, but they are accurate, nonetheless. It is hard to overstate how much dopamine levels shape our perception of life, our emotions, and how capable we perceive ourselves to be — when dopamine levels are low, we feel unmotivated, derive less pleasure from pursuits and feel physically tired. This newsletter will detail how to manage dopamine levels to enhance motivation. o § The Fed⠀➾ # ⚓ Is_The_US_Government_Broke?_Treasury_2025_Filing_Shows $41.7T_Negative_Net_Position⠀⇛ The US Treasury Department’s fiscal year 2025 consolidated financial statements show a federal government with $6.06 trillion in total assets, $47.78 trillion in total liabilities, and a negative net position of $41.72 trillion, giving fresh ammunition to arguments that the US government is functionally insolvent. Consolidated balance sheet position worsened by nearly $2.07 trillion from FY 2024 to FY 2025. Total liabilities now stand at nearly eight times reported assets. The largest balance-sheet drivers were a $2.0 trillion increase in federal debt and interest payable, which reached $30.33 trillion, and a $438.8 billion increase in federal employee and veteran benefits payable, which rose to $15.47 trillion. # ⚓ The_U.S._Government’s_Own_Numbers_Show_It’s_Insolvent⠀⇛ — The U.S. Treasury’s FY2025 financial statements show a negative net position of $41.72 trillion. — Including unfunded Social Security and Medicare obligations, total federal promises exceed $136.2 trillion. — The GAO has declined to certify U.S. government financial statements for 29 consecutive years. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Iran_Built_a_Vast_Camera_Network_to_Control Dissent._Israel_Turned_It_Into_a_Targeting_Tool⠀⇛ For years, cybersecurity experts have warned that cameras could be [accessed] for war. In 2019, security engineer Paul Marrapese discovered he could easily [access] millions of cameras from the comfort of his home office in California. Despite speaking up repeatedly since, the number of unprotected cameras only continues to grow. A scan of unprotected camera feeds this year turned up nearly three million hits in almost every country in the world, Marrapese told AP, including nearly 2,000 cameras in Iran alone. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ US_FCC_Prohibits_Approval_Of_New_Foreign-Made Consumer_Routers⠀⇛ The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is tasked with regulating both wired and wireless communications, which also includes a national security component. This is how previously the FCC tossed networking gear made by Huawei and foreign- manufactured drones onto its Covered List, effectively banning it from sale in the US. Now foreign-made consumer routers have been added to this list, barring explicit conditional approval on said list that would exempt them during a ‘transition phase’. # ⚓ Nick Heer ☛ Ads_Are_Coming_to_Apple_Maps_Later_This_Year⠀⇛ Apple, in a press release with the title “Introducing Apple Business — a new all‑in‑one platform for businesses of all sizes”, buried in a section tucked in the middle labelled “Enhanced Discoverability in Apple Maps”, both of which are so anodyne as to encourage missing this key bit of news: [...] # ⚓ City News CA ☛ U.K._midwife_facing_deportation_from_Canada after_work_permit_denied_over_English_test⠀⇛ Canadian immigration officials insisted that Gilchrist, a native English speaker, do a language test. She says she completed the test last July, but the application she filled out didn’t give her the option to upload her results. As well, she says, the checklist that came with the application didn’t even mention the test. Now, because she wasn’t able to submit the test, her work permit has been cancelled. # ⚓ Felix ☛ Fuck_Every_Single_Microsoft_Product⠀⇛ # ⚓ PC Gamer ☛ I_crashed_out_reading_layoff_condolence_letters in_this_shop_sim_about_a_laid-off_adventurer_made_by_a_laid- off_Xbox_developer⠀⇛ "Hark Elm! We've been missing you back at the party, it's such a shame you got laid off," reads a scroll on my desk in the opening minutes of Dungeon Bodega Simulator. "I heard you opened a shop! What a quaint way to bounce back, I'll try and stop by next time we adventure in that area." I can actually feel my heart rate spiking, reading those words. Early in my career I was laid off from game development. Twice. Sadness, anxiety, even a little bitterness as still-employed coworkers "reach out" with hopes that you'll "find something soon" are all swallowed stones that fester in your stomach. You start asking yourself if you deserve to "bounce back," if everyone is quietly condescending to you, if you should cut your losses from the industry entirely. # ⚓ Neowin ☛ Epic_Games_is_laying_off_over_1,000_staff,_blames worsening_Fortnite_engagement⠀⇛ Epic Games, the company responsible for the Unreal Engine game development engine and the hugely popular live service experience Fortnite, just confirmed a massive layoff wave that will affect over 1,000 of its employees. The company is blaming worsening engagement in Fortnite for this shift, saying it needs to make major cuts to keep afloat. Earlier today, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney sent a note with information about the layoff wave and the difficulties the company is facing. It has now also been shared with the public on the Epic Games blog. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Spotify_layoffs_in_Podcast_Group_claimed_to be_not_due_to_cost_cutting⠀⇛ Spotify has laid off 15 employees in its podcast division. The latest round of job cuts accounts to 3% of the company’s headcount, as reported by Variety. Most of the jobs cuts came at The Ringer, which is the sports and pop culture site Spotify acquired in 2020 and at Spotify Studios. This restructuring at Spotify also lead to the cancellation of New York, New York With John Jastremski, a podcast focused on New York sports. # ⚓ Three_NACON_Owned_Studios_File_for_Insolvency⠀⇛ Four subsidiaries, three of them being game studios owned by French Publisher NACON have now also filed for insolvency, requesting that ‘judicial reorganisation proceedings’ are opened. Back in February, NACON filed for insolvency, sharing that their majority shareholder, Bigben Interactive, were facing serious financial difficulties. NACON have now provided an update, advising that four subsidaries – three studios, and one motion capture company are now also filing for insolvency. # ⚓ Game World Observer ☛ Subsidiaries_of_Nacon_have_filed_for insolvency⠀⇛ The studios are seeking court permission to begin a procedure known as judicial reorganization. During this process, their current debt obligations are temporarily frozen, allowing the teams to calmly develop a plan to address financial issues. Sometimes, this pause can last up to a year and a half. As added by journalist Gauthier Andres from Origami, these developments will also affect the studio Big Bad Wolf, which is currently working on Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss. However, Nacon’s statement does not mention it. All of this is part of a larger process. At the end of February, Nacon itself filed a similar application, which the court has already approved. At that time, Nacon explained that it had to take such a step in light of issues faced by its largest shareholder, Bigben Interactive, which failed to make payments to bondholders. # § Artificial Intelligence (AI) / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ OpenAI_Is_Reportedly_Killing_Its Disastrous_Video_AI_Slop_App⠀⇛ Less than five months on, OpenAI is looking to rid itself of the “unholy abomination” of Sora, a mind-numbing TikTok-like experience that few users stuck around to actually use regularly. (After initially topping App Store charts, downloads plummeted.) # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ An_Open_Training_Set_For_AI_Goes_Global⠀⇛ However, there is an alternative to this “grab it all” approach. It involves using materials that are either in the public domain or released under a “permissive” license that allows LLMs to be trained on them without any problems. There’s plenty of such material online, but its scattered nature puts it at a serious disadvantage compared to downloading everything without worrying about licensing issues. To address that, the Common Corpus was created and released just over a year ago by the French startup Pleias. A press release from the AI Alliance explains the key characteristics of the Common Corpus: [...] # ⚓ 404 Media ☛ Delivery_Robot_Drives_Through_Bus_Stop Shelter,_Shattering_Glass_Everywhere⠀⇛ A Serve Robotics food delivery robot crashed through the glass wall of a bus stop shelter in Chicago earlier this week, shattering the glass all over the sidewalk. The crash comes amid a protest against delivery robots in Chicago and a few weeks after a politician who represents part of Chicago said he would not allow the robots into his district. # ⚓ Michel Alexandre Salim ☛ Hi,_my_name_is_Michel,_and_I (reluctantly)_use_LLMs⠀⇛ Is this pragmatism? Or is this selling out? Probably a bit of both, the and I don’t blame those with strong ethical concerns if they stop reading now. But if you’re still here, these are some ground rules I’m setting myself - if it proves helpful to you, I’d love to hear about it; if you have feedback, likewise, I’m all ears. # ⚓ Don Marti ☛ A_Vibe_CMS⠀⇛ I’m not going to name the site because first of all, the company that runs it has a lot of domain names, and second, now that they have their automatic slop CMS going, they can always get more. The point of writing this is not, look, I found a slop site, everybody add it to your blocklist. The point is that the advice to use a blocklist to keep your ad from showing up on crap sites was always bogus—even before widespread use of LLMs, editing a blocklist for one brand or agency was always a losing race against all the crap site makers in the world registering domains. # ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ Code_as_a_Tool_of_Process⠀⇛ Writing code is a process that confronts you with questions about the details. If you gloss over the details, things are going to work unexpectedly and users will discover the ambiguity in your thinking rather than you (see also: “bugs”). # ⚓ Rachel Andrew ☛ Do_you_need_AI_for_that?_–_Rachel Andrew⠀⇛ My social feed has divided mostly into two camps—those who can now only talk about how excited they are about AI, and those who are refusing to use it at all. # ⚓ Charles Leifer ☛ Slopification_and_Its_Discontents⠀⇛ I realized that there is a huge gap between Claude's ability to read and analyze versus it's ability to generate or modify in-place, which becomes more dramatic the larger the scope of work. This skill-gap was apparent even in the smaller tasks, such as analyzing the asyncio extension: Claude was able to skilfully identify areas where resource cleanup was fragile and find gaps in test- coverage. Much of this required deep thinking about lifetimes, API contracts, async-vs-sync behavior, race conditions, deadlocks, etc. But when tasked to produce new or novel implementations, it stumbled and kept gifting me the same turd in different colored wrapping paper. What happened to all the insight and ingenuity Claude had shown while reading the code? # ⚓ MIT ☛ MIT_AI_Incident_Tracker⠀⇛ AI incidents are on the rise, yet current databases struggle with inconsistent structure, limiting their utility for policymaking. The AI Incident Tracker project addresses this by creating a tool to classify AI incidents based on risks and harm severity. Using a Large Language Model (LLM), the tool processes raw reports from the AI Incident Database (AIID) and categorizes them using established frameworks, such as the MIT Risk Repository and a harm severity rating system based on CSET’s AI Harm Taxonomy. This project provides a proof-of-concept analysis of reported AI incidents, including preliminary insights into trends in the available data. # ⚓ Google_AI_Overview_Picked_Up_My_Article,_and_Now_It’s Digging_Its_Own_Grave⠀⇛ If you have been following my blog lately, you know what happened. Google AI Overview has access to my full articles behind the paywall and presents the key information for free. I decided to use that against them. A few days later, the first results of the experiment are in. # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ The Scotsman ☛ For_the_sake_of_our_sons,_we_must reclaim_masculinity_from_the_manosphere⠀⇛ It shows how the manosphere draws on scientific falsehoods, conspiracy theories, antisemitism, and attempts to rewrite history to fit a narrow, angry worldview. Crucially, this content is no longer hidden in dark corners of the internet, it is being pushed aggressively into the feeds of boys and young men still working out who they are. # ⚓ The Age AU ☛ English_comedian_Josie_Long_on_weather, politics_and_Australia’s_“weird_prehistoric_animals”⠀⇛ Her recent focus on the long and the short of time’s passage has perhaps contributed to the decision to switch off the buzz of social media. “I’m 43, I don’t have time to waste. I want things slower and better and with more depth. I was quite online politically through Twitter or whatever, and you think: what of it has lasted? What of it is important?” # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ When_TikTok_failed_them,_Kenyans_began policing_their_own_feeds⠀⇛ The problem is not unique to Kenya. The first line of defense against harmful social media posts globally is artificial intelligence, which can be taught to flag rule-breaking content it sees or hears. # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ Offended?_Not_me._How_people_use denial_to_appear_rational_on_social_media⠀⇛ The team, which included researchers from the University of Kent, analyzed a network of real X (Twitter) exchanges that began with a woman telling a joke and quickly spiraled into a heated argument. Findings have been published in the Journal of Language Aggression and Conflict. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Instagram_and_Facebook_are_about_to_be filled_with_affiliate_content⠀⇛ The new features will be convenient for anyone profiting from affiliate revenue. For everyone else, it will likely make the platforms feel even more like a shopping mall.

The function has become increasingly common in the ransomware ecosystem, enabling criminals to profit from attacks without directly deploying malware or executing extortion demands. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Poland_Faced_a_Surge_in_Cyberattacks in_2025,_Including_a_Major_Assault_on_the_Energy Sector⠀⇛ During the morning and afternoon of Dec. 29, coordinated cyberattacks hit a combined heat and power plant supplying heat to almost 500,000 customers, as well as multiple wind and solar farms in Poland. o § Privatisation/Privateering⠀➾ # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ TSA_employees_at_‘breaking_point’⠀⇛ Aaron Barker, president of AFGE Local 554, which represents TSOs in Georgia, pointed to the Trump administration’s efforts to disband TSA union rights and potentially shift to more privatized airport security screening. “It has always been about privatization,” Barker said. “I believe this is a play to try to move in that direction, and I just don’t think that this is going to end well with ICE going into the airports.” o § Security⠀➾ # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ Dark Reading ☛ Attackers_Hide_Infostealer_in Copyright_Infringement_Notices⠀⇛ Attackers are using copyright-infringement notices to target multiple industry sectors in a fileless phishing campaign that delivers data-stealing malware. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Air Force Times ☛ Deadly_Iran_school_strike_casts shadow_over_Pentagon’s_AI_targeting_push⠀⇛ So what went wrong? “Was artificial intelligence, including the use of the Maven Smart System, used to identify the Shajareh Tayyebeh school as a target?” more than 120 House Democrats asked in a March 12 letter to the Pentagon, just days after 46 Senate Democrats sent a similar request demanding clarity on the deadly hit. The Maven Smart System, a targeting and intelligence platform built by data analytics company Palantir Technologies under a $1.3 billion Pentagon contract, was built to solve a problem that has grown exponentially in recent years: information overload — with artificial intelligence as its secret weapon. # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Pentagon_formalizes_Palantir's_Maven AI_as_a_core_military_system_with_multi-year_funding_— platform's_investment_grows_to_$13_billion_from_$480 million_in_2024⠀⇛ Palantir took over and built a full command- and-control platform that ingests data from more than 150 sources, according to Palantir's public demonstrations: satellite imagery, drone video, radar, infrared sensors, signals intelligence, and geolocation data. Computer vision algorithms trained on millions of labeled images automatically detect and classify battlefield objects, with yellow-outlined boxes marking potential targets, blue outlines flagging friendly forces and no-strike zones, and an ‘AI Asset Tasking Recommender’ proposing which weapons platforms and munitions should be assigned to each target. # ⚓ Reuters ☛ Bombed_Iranian_girls_school_had_vivid website_and_yearslong_online_presence⠀⇛ The school’s online activity calls into question how the American military vets and reviews strike locations. Reuters first reported investigators at the Defense Department believe U.S. forces were likely responsible for the bombing, and new indications emerged that the U.S. may have relied upon outdated targeting data. # ⚓ Cyble Inc ☛ Iran_Telegram_Malware_Used_To_Spy_On Dissidents,_FBI_Warns⠀⇛ The Iran Telegram malware campaign has once again put the spotlight on how state-backed cyber actors are adapting their tactics by blending into widely used digital platforms. In a recent alert, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) revealed that cyber actors linked to Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) are using Telegram as a command-and-control (C2) infrastructure to deploy malware. The campaign specifically targets Iranian dissidents, journalists, and individuals or groups perceived as opposing the Iranian government. According to the FBI, these operations have led to intelligence collection, data leaks, and reputational damage, indicating that the intent goes beyond simple access and leans toward sustained monitoring and impact. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Age-Verification_And_The_World_Before Social_Media⠀⇛ Although it may be hard to believe for current generations, there was a time when the Internet and the World Wide Web were not as integrated into society as it is today. The only forms of online ‘social media’ that existed came in the form of IRC, forums, BBSes, newsgroups and kin, while obtaining new software for your PC involved generally making your way over to a physical store to buy a boxed copy, at least officially. In this era – and those before it – age- verification already existed, with various goods ranging from tobacco and alcohol to naughty adult magazines requiring you to pass some form of age check. Much like how movies also got age-gated, so did video games, with a sales clerk taking a very good look at you before selling you that naughty puzzle game or boxed copy of Quake 3. Today we’re seeing a big fuss being made about online age-verification, with the claim being that it is ‘for the children’, but as any well-adjusted adult can attest to, this is essentially a big bucket of hogwash. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Your_Body_Is_Betraying_Your_Right_to Privacy⠀⇛ Police are intensely interested in the secrets our bodies can reveal. The FBI has invested billions of dollars in its Next Generation Information (NGI) biometrics database, billed as the largest such database in the world. Through this system, the FBI collects “voice profiles, palm prints, faceprints, iris scans, tattoos, and, of course, fingerprints,” with the goal of using this information to identify suspects (and victims). The system also pulls in genetic information from CODIS—the agency’s Combined DNA Index System—which contains 21.7 million DNA profiles of offenders and arrestees (almost 7 percent of the US population). Many states have built their own similar databases using samples from arrestees, victims, and other sources, which are sometimes collected in ethically dubious ways. The district attorney’s office in Orange County, California, for example, had a program where they would dismiss misdemeanor violations in return for a DNA sample. That “spit and acquit” sample, of course, could later be used to match suspects in future prosecutions. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ ADF ☛ Terrorism_Worsens_in_Burkina_Faso⠀⇛ Terrorists have killed about 2,000 civilians in the country annually in recent years, according to some estimates. Government-aligned forces are reported to have killed up to 132% more civilians in that time, the council reported. Terrorists linked to al-Qaida and the Islamic State group now operate openly in as much as 80% of the country. # ⚓ ADF ☛ Islamic_State_Group_Quietly_Gaining_Momentum_in Libya⠀⇛ While the Islamic State (IS) group is present throughout Libya, it is more of a danger in the south, with links to the Sahel, according to The Jamestown Foundation. Its presence is most consistent in the southern Fezzan region, where its logistical networks are used to transport people, vehicles and weapons from Sudan, through Chad, to the tri-border area of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger. # ⚓ Defence Web ☛ Nigerian_terrorists_increase_COTS_armed_drone use_-_DefenceWeb⠀⇛ Nigeria’s Premium Times reported earlier this year that Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) terrorists acquired 35 quadcopter drones transported through smuggling routes in the Lake Chad basin. # ⚓ The Zambian Observer ☛ VW_to_shift_from_cars_to_missile production_for_Israel⠀⇛ Volkswagen is reportedly in talks to shift part of its production toward missile-defense components in partnership with, a move that could mark a major transition from civilian manufacturing into the global arms industry.

Who could have seen this coming? The answer is, the person or people who bought large quantities of stock market futures and sold large quantities of oil futures around 15 minutes before Trump’s announcement. As CNBC reports, # ⚓ Vox ☛ The_Supreme_Court_seems_alarmingly_willing_to_trash 1000s_of_ballots,_in_Watson_v._RNC⠀⇛ Which brings us to the specific legal theory in Watson. The GOP (along with the Libertarian Party of Mississippi) claim that three federal laws which set the date for federal elections (one governing presidential elections, one governing House elections, and one governing Senate elections) preclude any state from counting a ballot that arrives after Election Day, even if it was mailed prior to that date. # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ A_Former_Prisoner_of_the_Iranian_Regime Watches_Trump’s_War⠀⇛ A journalist who was wrongfully detained for five hundred and forty-four days never got to say goodbye to Tehran.

Besides, practically everyone knows Szijjártó’s number, even the CEO of the smallest foreign company operating in Hungary has it,” Szabolcs Panyi, investigative journalist for Direkt36 and VSquare told Telex on Monday, after Mandiner (a paper with close ties to the government – ed) published an audio recording intended to expose him. The recording features Szabolcs Panyi and an unidentified female voice. Among other things, the journalist talks about being in contact with a government agency of an EU country, but the pro- government press was quick to spin the story and claim that it was in fact Panyi who had given Péter Szijjártó’s phone number to a foreign intelligence service. # ⚓ The Dissenter ☛ US_Court_Rejects_Perdue's_Anti- Whistleblower_Lawsuit⠀⇛ A United States court rejected an effort by poultry manufacturer Perdue Farms to eliminate the Labor Department’s process for reviewing whistleblower claims. Whistleblowers Rudy Howell and Craig Watts, who had contracts with Perdue, alleged that the corporation retaliated against them when they raised concerns about animal welfare and other health and safety hazards. # ⚓ Ken Klippenstein ☛ Exclusive:_ICE's_Bounty_Hunters⠀⇛ An internal ICE financial ledger I obtained shows how the agency is turning local police departments across the county into a vast, decentralized immigration army. This includes payments if cops sign up to be deputized, reimbursements for transportation, salary supplements for cops who process migrant children, and per-arrest-style incentive payments. All of this is taking place under an ICE program called 287(g), part of a 1996 law that granted the Attorney General (and later the Secretary of Homeland Security) the authority to enter into written agreements with state and local governments on immigration. The first agreement under the law was signed by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement after 9/11; as of last year, the number of agreements has swelled past 1,000. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Tennessee Lookout ☛ Depleted_uranium_company_gains_approval in_rural_East_Tennessee⠀⇛ BWXT’s rezoning is part of its expansion plan to fulfill its $1.6 billion contract with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration to provide high purity depleted uranium, or HPDU, which is used for nuclear weapons technology, tank armor and projectiles. The company is the only U.S. supplier of high purity depleted uranium to the federal government. # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ We_are_flushing_paracetamol_down_the toilet_and_into_our_water_supply_–_here’s_how_it_could_be removed⠀⇛ In the Nairobi river in Kenya, paracetamol concentrations have reached up to 16 micrograms per litre, which is high enough to cause cellular damage in water organisms such as clams. In Asian surface waters, high paracetamol levels have been reported as well. # ⚓ Renewable Energy World ☛ Record_heat,_melting_snow:_What does_it_mean_for_California’s_reservoirs?⠀⇛ Providing about a third of the state’s water supply, the Sierra Nevada snowpack is a vital source of spring and summer runoff that refills reservoirs when the state needs the water most. But a warm wet storm followed February’s snow, and now, March temperatures are shattering records — prompting warnings of rapid snowmelt and swift rivers. # ⚓ YLE ☛ SVT:_Neste's_"green"_aviation_fuel_contains_banned palm_oil⠀⇛ The world's largest producer of aviation biofuel, Finnish fuel firm Neste, has been using banned palm oil instead of recycled cooking oil, according to Swedish public broadcaster SVT. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Microsoft_and_Nvidia_launch_AI partnership_to_speed_up_nuclear_power_plant_permitting and_construction_—_simulation_tools_and_generative models_could_hasten_historically_lengthy_processes⠀⇛ The idea of letting generative AI anywhere near safety-critical nuclear infrastructure might give the average reader pause, but it's already happening in the real world. Aalo Atomics, an Austin-based startup building modular nuclear reactors for data centers, has said that it reduced its permitting process workload by 92% using Microsoft's Generative AI for Permitting solution, saving an estimated $80 million annually. # ⚓ Jérôme Marin ☛ Terafab,_Elon_Musk’s_unrealistic project⠀⇛ Elon Musk no longer speaks in gigawatts — the unit that has become the benchmark for measuring computing power dedicated to generative AI models. The Tesla CEO is now thinking in terawatts, or one thousand gigawatts. On Saturday, he unveiled Terafab, a project for a giant factory designed to produce chips for his self-driving cars, his robots, and the data centers he ultimately hopes to deploy in space. His goal: to reach a capacity of one terawatt per year. An extraordinary figure, roughly fifty times current global production. # ⚓ Geoff Manaugh ☛ Contextual_Collapse⠀⇛ Of course, this could also mean that someday the caverns will simply collapse. Presumably, then, we’ll have to design and build a replacement—some helpful videos and papers can guide any ambitious architecture and engineering students in the right direction. # § Wildlife/Nature⠀➾ # ⚓ Mexico News Daily ☛ Camera_traps_spy_a_jaguar_for_the first_time_in_Guanajuato's_Sierra_Gorda_Biosphere Reserve⠀⇛ The Conanp reported that the images were obtained via a 75-trap camera system operated by community monitors. # § Overpopulation⠀➾ # ⚓ Renewable Energy World ☛ Why_Colorado_River negotiations_stalled,_and_how_they_could_resume_with the_possibility_of agreement⠀⇛ The federal government has not yet done so, but the prospect of such an action is not good news for the nearly 40 million people who depend on the Colorado River for water, energy, agriculture and recreation, nor for the estimated US$1.4 trillion in economic activity the river supports. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ The Walrus ☛ Manitoba_Moves_to_Outlaw_Algorithmic_Pricing—a First_in_Canada⠀⇛ Manitoba is the first government in Canada to recognize and address the potential issues with pricing algorithms that use your data against you. A few US states have started moving, but this is a wide-open policy space in Canada. Manitoba is setting the terms of this debate early, instead of waiting until personalized pricing is everywhere and politically untouchable. Normalization is a real risk here. Once firms get consumers used to being sorted, profiled, and priced differently, the practice starts to feel inevitable. But it is not. It is a choice about what kind of business practices we expect. Personalized algorithmic pricing pulls together affordability, privacy, competition, consumer protection, and data extraction all at once. It asks whether companies should be allowed to use increasingly intimate signals about our behaviour to decide what we see, what we pay, and what discounts we never even knew existed. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ India Times ☛ OpenAI_set_to_raise_about_$10_billion_from MGX,_Coatue,_Thrive⠀⇛ Abu Dhabi’s MGX, Coatue Management and Thrive Capital are set to participate in the round at a $730 billion valuation, not including the money raised, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private information. Altimeter Capital is also planning to put in money, the people said. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Epic_Games_Layoffs_Impact_1,000+ People_as_Fortnite_Wanes⠀⇛ Despite being one of the most popular video games on the market since its 2017 debut, Fortnite is spending more money than it’s making in 2026. According to Bloomberg, Fortnite developer Epic Games is laying off more than 1,000 employees amid a broader downturn in engagement with the game over the past year. It’s the company’s second major round of cuts in three years, having eliminated 830 employees for similar reasons in September 2023. # ⚓ CBC ☛ Epic_Games_to_lay_off_more_than_1,000_employees_as Fortnite_usage_drops⠀⇛ Epic had earlier this month raised prices of ‌Fortnite's in-game currency, citing higher costs to run the game. CBC News has reached out to the company for a statement. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Epic_Games_Lays_Off_Over_1,000_Employees, Citing_Fortnite_Slump⠀⇛ The video game company Epic Games is laying off more than 1,000 employees, it said on Tuesday, citing a drop in the amount of time people are spending playing Fortnite. # ⚓ RIPE ☛ Announcing_the_Results_of_the_2025_RIPE_Code_of Conduct_Survey⠀⇛ The RIPE community has spoken and the results are in. The RIPE Code of Conduct Team presents an analysis of the feedback received, discusses next actions, and shares a detailed breakdown of the results. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ iTWire_-_Yubico_Partners_with_IBM_and_Auth0_to secure_agentic_AI_and_Harness_its_Power_while_ensuring_Trust and_Governance⠀⇛ Yubico has announced a strategic collaboration with IBM and Auth0 to help organisations securely deploy AI agents at scale, introducing a new model of human-in-the-loop authorisation for high-risk automated actions. # ⚓ Wired ☛ Pentagon’s_‘Attempt_to_Cripple’_Anthropic_Is Troubling,_Judge_Says⠀⇛ Anthropic has filed two federal lawsuits alleging that the Trump administration’s decision to designate the company a security risk amounted to illegal retaliation. The government slapped the label on Anthropic after it pushed for limitations on how its AI could be used by the military. Tuesday’s hearing came in a case filed in San Francisco. # ⚓ LibreNews ☛ The_political_use_of_operating_systems⠀⇛ Choosing an operating system means not only choosing the stack of our virtual life, but it also means adopting a particular perspective, prioritizing certain needs and choosing the way we interact with technology. Making a political use of the technological power means choosing to change the direction of our computing life, gain consciousness on the alternatives and in a way that is equivalent to voting for a party or another, with the discussions, the drawbacks, and the advantages that come with it. This is the power of not letting others choose for us. This power of choosing comes with the necessity of observing the alternatives, and if OS producers are like parties, each of these parties is bringing a priority or an issue to solve. Microsoft, Apple, RedHat and other vendors explicitly state the issue they are trying to solve: Productivity. # ⚓ Inside Towers ☛ White_House_Unveils_National_AI_Policy Framework⠀⇛ The Trump administration released a legislative framework for a national policy on AI on Friday, calling on Congress to adopt a light-touch legislative approach to the technology. The framework aims to create uniform safety and security guardrails around the technology while preempting states from enacting their own AI rules. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Team_Mirai_and_Democracy⠀⇛ This is happening today in Japan. Constituents have spent about eight thousand hours engaging with Mirai’s AI Interviewer since 2025. The party’s gamified volunteer mobilization app, Action Board, captured about 100,000 organizer actions per day in the runup to last week’s election. # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Pluralistic:_Goodhart’s_Law_vs_“prediction markets”⠀⇛ But rich people don't need to be disciplined by incentives. They can get no-bid contracts with Uncle Sucker without being tempted to rip off the USA. They can force their workers into nondisparagement clauses without being tempted to act like a colossal asshole, secure in the knowledge that they can sue workers who tattle on them. They can force their workers into noncompete clauses without being tempted to underpay and abuse their workers, secure in the knowledge that they can sue workers who take their labor elsewhere. They can force their workers into binding arbitration clauses without being tempted into maiming or killing them, secure in the knowledge that the workers can't sue them. So incentives matter…when you're fucking over working people. But incentives don't matter, when you're gilding the Epstein class's lilies. # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ Layoffs_don’t_boost_the_share_price_—_they drop_it⠀⇛ Either way, the markets aren’t buying it. Layoffs really do mean your company is in trouble and your stock should get a price hit: [...] # ⚓ Mike Brock ☛ The_Plaque⠀⇛ The object in the photograph is a circular plaque, laser-etched with the Apple logo, mounted on a base of 24-karat gold. It bears the inscription: President Donald J. Trump — Apple American Manufacturing Program. It was presented by Tim Cook to the President of the United States in exchange for tariff relief. It now sits on the Resolute Desk. I want to be precise about what this object is. It is not a gift in any meaningful sense. Gifts are given freely, without expectation of return, between parties of roughly equal standing or from a position of genuine affection. This is not that. This is a tribute. It is the physical instantiation of a transaction — favorable regulatory treatment rendered in exchange for a golden idol bearing the sovereign’s name. It is the vocabulary of court, not commerce. It is what you present when you need something from someone who has power over you and who wants, above all else, to be told that he is great. # ⚓ Michael Geist ☛ Setting_Canada’s_AI_Policy_Priorities:_My Appearance_Before_the_Standing_Committee_on_Industry,_Science and_Technology⠀⇛ The Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology is one of several House and Senate committees currently grappling with legal, regulatory and policy challenges and opportunities presented by AI. I appeared before the committee yesterday alongside Yoshua Bengio and Colin Bennett. Bengio unsurprisingly garnered the lion’s share of the questions, but the committee did give me the chance to highlight my thoughts on policy priorities and to address a few questions. I plan to post some reflections on the policy tensions in the coming days. In the meantime, the video and text of my opening statement are posted below. # ⚓ Douglas Rushkoff ☛ The_Holy_War_Delusion_—_Rushkoff Archive⠀⇛ The one who called last summer, at the height of the starvation crisis in Gaza, took it further: “I think Israel may have made Judaism untenable for the foreseeable future. Maybe forever.” # ⚓ YLE ☛ Finns_trust_the_US_about_as_much_as_they_do_Russia, China⠀⇛ Antti Lehtinen, who heads SuomiAreena, said it was not surprising that trust in the United States has weakened. "But it is striking that trust has fallen to roughly the same level as that accorded to China and Russia," he said. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Social_media_overtakes_newsbrands_as MPs'_primary_news_[sic]_source⠀⇛ Some 83% of a representative sample of 105 MPs cited social media as their primary source, up from 61% at the start of 2025. This means social media overtook news websites (on 77%) for the first time. But 96% of MPs still said they visit newspaper websites at least once a week, with 89% visiting daily and 60% visiting multiple times a day. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ The_Trump_Admin’s_Own_Investigators_Found_No_EU Internet_Censorship._So_They_Ignored_The_Findings.⠀⇛ But if you get past the incredibly misleading headline, the actual reporting reveals quite an admission from within the administration, and it fundamentally undercuts everything they’ve been doing supposedly regarding “EU internet censorship.” The story reveals that the Trump administration ran its own investigation into EU censorship, found nothing, and then barreled ahead with the entire crusade anyway. Worth repeating, because it’s the whole story (even if WaPo buried it with their headline): the Trump admin investigated “EU censorship.” The Trump admin came up empty. And then the administration just kept going as if it were undeniable that what their own investigators couldn’t find must have happened anyway. # ⚓ Mat Duggan ☛ Hosting_a_Snowflake_Proxy⠀⇛ In the nightmarish world of 2026 it can be difficult to know how to help at all. There are too many horrors happening to quickly to know where one can inject even a small amount of assistance. However I wanted to quickly post about something I did that was easy, low impact and hopefully helps a tiny fraction of a fraction of a percent of people. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ Open Caucasus Media ☛ Russian_journalist_sentenced_to_10 years_in_absentia_for_saying_20%_of_Georgia_is_occupied_by Russia⠀⇛ Russian prosecutors based the case on two posts — one was Kichigina sharing a post about Bucha, the Ukrainian city where Russian forces murdered hundreds of civilians shortly after the beginning of the full-scale invasion. The post contained evidence to counter Russian claims that the mass murder was fabricated. The second concerned an Instagram story that Kichigina published on 8 August 2023 — the anniversary of the 2008 August War. In the story, Kichigina said Russian troops had invaded Georgia, bombed civilian cities, and that 20% of the country remained under Russian occupation. Both posts are no longer available. # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Publisher_audience_engagement_strategy_for 2026⠀⇛ Digital publishing still depends on discovery. But discovery is no longer a reliable business model. Reuters Institute reported in January that Google search traffic to more than 2,500 news sites fell 33% year on year, while media managers expect referrals from search to drop another 43% over the next three years. This is not a temporary wobble. It is structural. The question for senior digital and product leaders is no longer how to recover every lost click. It is how to turn a greater share of the attention publishers still earn into repeat use, richer audience signal, and more resilient revenue. # ⚓ CPJ ☛ CPJ_welcomes_Kyrgyzstan’s_release_of_journalist Makhabat_Tajibek_kyzy,_calls_for_charges_to_be_dropped⠀⇛ At an initial retrial hearing on March 23, the court in Bishkek rejected the journalist’s petition to dismiss the case but granted her request to be freed pending a verdict. She remains under a travel ban, however. The next hearing is scheduled for April 7. # ⚓ CPJ ☛ Reporter_İsmail_Arı_imprisoned_in_Turkey_for spreading_‘disinformation’⠀⇛ “Rights defenders who expressed worries that the ‘false information’ law would be abused to silence journalism were told that journalists wouldn’t be prosecuted unless the reporting causes concern, fear, or panic,” said Özgür Öğret, CPJ’s Turkey representative. “Who is scared of İsmail Arı’s reporting? The authorities must release Arı without delay and put an end to the misuse of this law.” Arı released a message via his lawyers while he was in custody. He said his social media posts and videos are being used as evidence against him. o § Civil Rights / Policing / Accessibility⠀➾ # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ Workplace_deaths_plague_Turkey's_textile_hub_as prominent_union_leader_jailed⠀⇛ In Antep, where a significant portion of Turkey’s textile production takes place, union leader Mehmet Türkmen has been arrested once again. Labor organizations link the move to strikes in the city that have slowed down production. # ⚓ El País ☛ Forced_to_give_birth_at_a_hospital_door_for_not having_a_male_companion:_Taliban_edicts_endanger_the_lives_of Afghan_women⠀⇛ According to UNICEF, only 66% of women in Afghanistan currently give birth with skilled personnel present. Furthermore, although official data is limited, maternal mortality in 2024 reached 638 deaths per 100,000 live births, and neonatal mortality reached 24 deaths per 1,000 live births — figures among the highest in the world, according to the UN. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ What_is_ICE_actually_doing_at_American airports?⠀⇛ Despite the crowd, I had plenty of time to check out the ICE presence at JFK’s other terminals. I saw the same thing in each one: ICE agents, sometimes from ERO and sometimes from other divisions, gathered together near the check-in area. Sometimes a pair would break off and walk around. They weren’t violently arresting anyone, but they also weren’t helping manage the crowds, which is ostensibly why they had been dispatched to JFK and other airports in the first place. # ⚓ Robert Reich ☛ A_Report_You_Need_to_Read⠀⇛ I’m summarizing it below because it deserves your attention. Critchfield and her team found that 279 people have been accused online by the Trump administration of assaulting federal ICE and Border Patrol agents, and more than half of these people — 64 percent — are American citizens. Of the 181 American citizens that the Trump administration has accused of attacking federal ICE and Border Patrol officers, close to half have never been charged, and none have been convicted at trial. But the public charges alone have caused them significant harm. # ⚓ Hamilton Nolan ☛ The_Consequences_of_Bad_Labor_Law⠀⇛ Today—as airline security lines stretch six hours long and untrained Playskool paramilitaries begin to incompetently pose as TSA agents—is a good time to think about labor law. Not necessarily all of its minutiae, which can be deadening to the mind and have the effect of making you not want to think about it at all. Just the important parts. The main thing to understand about US labor law is that its primary function is to restrict the power of workers in favor of the power of businesses. The ideal of the law as a way to mediate the desires of both capital and labor in the interests of the common good has become wildly tilted towards the interests of capital. It exists, on balance, not to facilitate the existence of organized labor but to handcuff it. This is not a state of nature. It is a policy choice. And, when viewed in the context of a nation slipping dangerously into oligarchy, it is common sense that this policy choice will, in the long run, be proven to have been a very, very bad idea. # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ Jon_Stewart_Takes_Aim_at_Donald_Trump Sending_ICE_Into_Airports⠀⇛ He added, “American travelers are so stressed out. What incredibly uncontroversial American enforcement agency would we deploy to our airports to ease passengers’ journey?” Stewart noted how the Trump administration will now be deploying ICE agents to airports to help with the TSA lines. “We’re sending in ICE agents to calm the situation,” he said. “It makes perfect sense. It’s kind of like the way we calm our dogs during thunderstorms with a blanket of fireworks.” # ⚓ Law Society Gazette ☛ ‘Burn_it’_lawyer_suspended_for_two years_after_contempt_finding⠀⇛ A former partner with City firm Jones Day who was found to be in criminal contempt of court has been suspended for two years by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal. Raymond John McKeeve, who apologised to the tribunal for his actions, was found, while in practice as a registered foreign lawyer, to have given instructions of ‘burn it’ or words similar in respect of electronic material held by his client. This instruction led to a High Court finding in 2022 that he was criminally liable for contempt of court. # ⚓ Ex-manager_who_failed_to_refer_work_to_law_firm_has_to repay_debt_instead⠀⇛ A tax specialist owes his former law firm £204,000 in overpayments he received while an employee after failing to refer work that would cover his debt, the High Court has ruled. Mr Justice Moody upheld a decision that a 2017 settlement between London criminal law firm Bark & Co and Andrew Lynch was enforceable after the five- year period it gave Mr Lynch to introduce work expired without him doing so. He also agreed with Ms Recorder Lambert KC that elements of the Tomlin order could be excised because they required Mr Lynch to make referrals which were banned by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). # ⚓ Portfolio Media Inc ☛ SRA_Shuts_Quarter_Of_Firms_Over Accounting_Breaches⠀⇛ o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ APNIC ☛ The_why_and_what_of_the_CIDR_Report⠀⇛ For some time, I have been looking after a routing analysis report called the CIDR Report. I’d like to explain the reasons for this report, what is in the report, and share some thoughts as to its usefulness today to the Internet routing community. # ⚓ Inside Towers ☛ Navajo_Nation_Celebrates_New_Tower⠀⇛ Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren called the tower “a meaningful step forward,” as part of broader efforts that have added hundreds of miles of fiber and more than 140 towers across the region. The tower also allows multiple carriers, including AT&T and Verizon, to expand coverage, which the tribe hopes ensures long-term connectivity for the community. § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ o ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Trump_Personally_Pushed_the_DOJ’s_Live Nation_Settlement⠀⇛ While the terms of the deal should make it easier for rival promoters to compete for business in the Live Nation-dominated market, it also prevented Live Nation and Ticketmaster from being forcibly broken up. o ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ US_judge_dismisses_Google_news_monopoly_case⠀⇛ The case was brought by Helena World Chronicle LLC, the publisher of 155-year-old Arkansas newspaper Helena World and the digital-only Monroe County Argus, and Mississippi-based Emmerich Newspapers, which publishes 25 print newspapers and 22 websites. They said they were bringing the lawsuit both on behalf of themselves and on behalf of all publishers of online newsbrands in the US whose websites had been indexed by Google since November 2019. o § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Who_wins_what_in_the_EU's_new_trade_deal with_Australia?⠀⇛ Australia may rank only around 20th among the EU's trading partners, but its strategic value is rising fast. o § Trademarks⠀➾ # § Right of Publicity⠀➾ # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ AI_Deepfakes_Are_Hurting_Creators' Bottom_Lines._They're_Fighting_Back⠀⇛ Oyarzo says she never agreed to create an ad for the law firm. (The firm did not respond to Rolling Stone’s requests for comment.) She knew it was an AI-generated clip right away, because it wasn’t the first video Oyarzo had encountered. In November, Oyarzo’s video editor notified her of a similar ad with an AI-generated avatar that subtly resembled her, but with dark red hair and eyebrows instead of her brown hair. Oyarzo brushed it off, asking herself if she’d just convinced herself it looked like her. o § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ The Strategist ☛ Australia’s_copyright_framework_is_a sovereign_AI_decision⠀⇛ No Five Eyes partner has a legal framework that supports domestic training of frontier foundation models, the general-purpose systems trained at the largest scales of computing and data, capable of reasoning across domains such as code, strategy and law. Yet defence and intelligence systems across those countries will increasingly run on exactly these models. If they are trained elsewhere under conditions Canberra won’t have set and will be unable to verify, that is not just a copyright policy; it’s a supply-chain vulnerability. =============================================================================== Image source: Color_woodblock_print_by_Utagawa_Kunisada_(I),_ca._1825 =============================================================================== * Gemini_Links_25/03/2026:_Blogging_Fright_and_Absolutely_Useless_'Apps' Made_by_Slop_Machines * Gnome_Foundation_Inc_is_in_Trouble ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4838 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Links 25/03/2026: Nations Return to Russian Oil and Burning Wood⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 25, 2026, updated Mar 25, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Masked_dancers,_Qagyuhl⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Leftovers o Science o Career/Education o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Proprietary # Artificial_Intelligence_(AI)_/_LLM_Slop_/_Plagiarism o Entrapment_(Microsoft_GitHub) o Security # Integrity/Availability/Authenticity # Privacy/Surveillance o Defence/Aggression o Environment # Energy/Transportation # Wildlife/Nature # Overpopulation o Finance o AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics o Censorship/Free_Speech o Freedom_of_Information_/_Freedom_of_the_Press o Civil_Rights_/_Policing_/_Accessibility o Internet_Policy/Net_Neutrality * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Wicked_Stepmother_No_Longer,_a_Female Pharoah_Gets_a_Reputational_Makeover⠀⇛ A reassessment of damaged 3,500-year-old statuary adds to evidence that Queen Hatshepsut wasn’t the villain that scholars long took her to be. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ World_TB_Day:_A_New_Clue_Offers_Hope Against_The_Deadliest_Infection⠀⇛ A vital insight has been revealed. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Giant_Star's_Mysterious_X-Rays_Finally Explained_After_50_Years⠀⇛ Astronomers have puzzled over this for half a century. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ The_True_Story_of_a_Tornado_Scientist_Who Got_Trapped_Inside_One⠀⇛ "I do not want to ever be in that situation again." # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ 'Dead_End':_Radical_20-Year_Study_Reveals Genetic_Cloning_Hits_a_Limit⠀⇛ How many times can you clone a clone? # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Severe_UTIs_May_Be_an_Overlooked_Dementia Risk_Factor⠀⇛ A concerning link has surfaced. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ Your_Poop_Schedule_Says_a_Lot_About_Your Overall_Health,_Study_Reveals⠀⇛ It matters more than you think. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ NASA_Abandons_Its_Ambitious_Lunar_Space Station_in_Major_Shake-Up⠀⇛ Here's what we know. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ World's_First_Antimatter_Delivery_by_Truck Signals_a_'New_Era'_in_Physics⠀⇛ Woah! # ⚓ JURIST ☛ Cultural_preservation_groups_sue_to_enjoin_Kennedy Center_renovations⠀⇛ A group of cultural and historical preservation groups filed a lawsuit against US President The Insurrectionist on Monday to block the further closure of the John F.
