It is difficult to ignore the gains made by GNU/Linux this month. The
statCounter numbers are partly affirmed by other data points. If true, that
contributes to allegations of Windows crisis and impending_mass_layoffs_in
Windows. █

15+ years ago Novell died more or less officially. It was killed by a former
IBMer (Ron Hovsepian, who sicced_his_lawyers_at_me) 20 years ago when he sold
his soul and Novell's soul to Steve Ballmer. He did this in November 2006 and
months earlier he was advised to do so by Miguel_de_Icaza et al.


Now, IBM as the sole owner of Red Hat (almost fully bluewashed by now) is
circling down the drain. It's run by a longtime IBMer who is extremely
dishonest and is likely_to_have_engaged_in_securities_fraud. It was his idea to
buy Red Hat.


As we said earlier this week [1, 2], Red Hat staff ought to start looking for
another job. We said the same about Novell many years ago. Our advice turned
out to have aged well.


Don't rush to call us "sensationalist" over it. Our track record show we're
just ahead of the curve. █

Incompatible_With_Freedom)


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇No service ('self' 'service') vs Service⦈


Today we spent a long time at Primark because people who purchase things with
cash and want actual service may need to wait in the queue for half an hour,
not just a few minutes. A lot of businesses (shops, banks etc.) use the same
tactic. Choice... as in the option to wait vastly longer (if one has patience
and won't give up)... the choice to wait for understaffed teams handling an
oversized queue. Choice is not everything. Freedom is too vague a term (in
English in particular). Choices can be differently bad or equally bad. █

Last day of June:


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇the corporate gaslighting at msft needs to stop because
business insider and internal leaks just confirmed the july cuts are happening.
it is hitting under 2.5 percent of the 220k workforce which is still over 5500
people getting axed across sales, xbox, and consulting. rumors are even saying
windows engineering is seeing a brutal 37 to 55 percent RIF with an 18 week
severance cap being enforced to cut costs. first wave hits july 8th and the
second on july 22nd and managers in hyderabad have gone completely ghost.
anyone in IDC seeing secret calibration meetings on their managers calendar or
are we just cooked?⦈


2 days ago: (preceding the "results" for the financial year)

The media is acting like Microsoft layoffs are limited to XBox and it moreover
gives_false_numbers, as_expected and soon_made_apparent.


Windows_is_allegedly_impacted_by_the_layoffs, which makes sense given its rapid
loss of users [1, 2].


If many more Microsoft layoffs are formally admitted next week we will not be
surprised as rumours about the July 22nd go back to June. There is already_a
confirmed_"second_wave"_for_XBox. █

the studio.⦈


They say there's no easy way to cull one's own workers (Microsoft's_debt_has
soared; the cuts are about survival). The way Microsoft did it though seems to
have caused an uproar and we see anonymous leakers or whistleblowers in the
media today. Some speak [1-2] of "culling of leadership team", others speak [3]
of "executive laid off" (remember many left in recent months; they knew what
was coming), and the way this was done was extremely rude [4], with "Microsoft
la[ying] off 136 out of 185 id Software employees" [5].


Given the geek admiration for id_Software this is going to make Microsoft a lot
of enemies. █

      leadership_team⠀⇛


           ZeniMax Online head Joseph Burba is among over 200 staff laid
           off at the Elder Scrolls Online studio last week as part of
           Xbox's recent round of mass layoffs. Burba has been with the
           studio for 14 years, and has worked on The Elder Scrolls Online
           since its 2014 launch. He was promoted to studio lead in July
           last year.


   2. ⚓ ZeniMax_Online_Studios_Leadership_Exits_Amid_XBOX_Layoffs⠀⇛


           Microsoft’s latest XBOX layoffs include leadership departures
           at ZeniMax Online Studios, marking big changes for the Elder
           Scrolls Online developer.


           According to a new report by Stephen Totilo of Game File, top
           Executives at ZeniMax Online Studios have had their roles
           affected as part of the recent restructuring at XBOX.


           Joe Burba, who has been with the studio for 14 years and was
           appointed to run it last July, is leaving. He is departing
           alongside the executive producer of Elder Scrolls Online, Susan
           Kath, the studio game director, Rich Lambert, and the
           production director, Ala Diaz. Their roles were listed among
           hundreds that had previously been cut from the studio’s
           Maryland offices in a WARN letter sent to the state by the
           developer.


   3. ⚓ Microsoft_executive_laid_off_after_25-year_stint;_colleague_calls_him
      ‘most_talented’⠀⇛


           The veteran tech engineer had worked 24 years and 11 months for
           Microsoft. He had started as a developer in a test team in 2011
           and was a principal software engineer when he was laid off.


   4. ⚓ Xbox_laid_off_hundreds_of_people_in_a_call_that_lasted_only_60
      seconds⠀⇛


           Despite assurances from Xbox management that it has the
           necessary resources to make new games, laid off employees
           insist that development teams have been severely gutted.


   5. ⚓ DOOM_Creator_Criticizes_Microsoft⠀⇛


           Microsoft laid off 136 out of 185 id Software employees, and an
           anonymous developer from the studio accused the company of
           destroying value built over years.

#StallmanWasRight (about_Linus_Torvalds)


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Stallman: If you want freedom don't follow Linus Torvalds⦈


2 weeks ago: Skinnerboxes_as_Health_Problems_and_Impediments_(Against
Happiness)


"Skinnerboxes" as a term is highly instructive. It's also helpful when it comes
to conveying particular concepts. B.F. Skinner's set of experiments shows_that
corporations_nowadays_treat_human_beings_like_birds_and_mice. They presume no
profound emotion or thought, only basic instincts. They try to get us addicted,
dependent, irrational.


Today I had a lengthy discussion about how businesses try to cheapen everything
for themselves... at the customers' expense. "Self-checkout" is a classic
example of this. They turn customers into unpaid staff. Those same
corporations, herded by even larger corporations, tell us to "pay digitally"
and then pay commissions to some foreign companies like GAFAM (or Visa/
Mastercard). We stand to gain nothing from it, but cash handling is considered
"expensive" or "risky"... and besides... the customers bears the hidden charges
(commissions). Why are people doing this to themselves? It's not convenience,
it is like a fashion.


It has gotten yet worse with "apps" in place of real services. For people_like
us_who_still_get_bank_statements_by_post_every_month (no skinnerboxes, no
"apps", no "webapps" with proprietary JavaScript which changes all the time) it
sometimes means a form of discrimination or peer pressure to use (or purchase)
a "smart" "phone". Similarly, there's growing social and commercial (sometimes
an employer) pressure to adopt slop and use chatbots. People have resorted to
using their religion to apply for exemptions.


Don't compromise or it'll get worse.


"OK, so I'll buy a skinnerbox..."


"OK, I suppose I can have an account in social control media..."


"OK, I suppose I could try slop..."


Little by little the freedoms are surrendered, given away to oligarchs [1, 2]
who are also (typically) sociopaths.


Apropos surrender of one's freedom, RMS was right all along about Linus
Torvalds. Years ago Torvalds said slop is (or was) 90% marketing hype. Slop
companies then began passing a very large bribe to Torvalds' employer (Linux
Foundation). Money_changed_hands. No secrets about it. Within months Torvalds
started tolerating slop, now he says that no more criticism of slop is allowed.
It is the same with the media. Why the change in attitude? Follow_the_money.
The pyramid scheme is compromising critics and offering them financial rewards
to participate in the scheme.


Torvalds does not understand the everyday struggles of tech workers and tech
users because he is a millionaire and to keep receiving_2_million_dollars_each
year he knows what he can and cannot say. █

Gawker⦈


Exactly one year ago (July 16) I_said_that_we_had_lodged_our_third_lawsuit,
which was a response to a lawsuit. We are not litigious, we just need to deal
with third parties-funded American lawfare against us - lawfare that cost well
over a million pounds and produced well over 100 KG of legal papers. Aside from
this lawfare there are parallel attacks on webhosts, copyrights-centric
attacks, financial attacks (DDoS the same day), death threats (firm reported to
cops), identity theft attempts, and various other angles attempted every two
months or so. Yesterday my wife contacted the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party
and our Minister of Justice, who know her well and keep a close eye.


Our aim is to repair an injured system wherein "abuse of process" can be turned
into a weapon, leveraged even by foreigners who are funded by affluent third
parties. Peter_Thiel_(Germany)_did_this_in_the_US and we don't want the US to
do the same in the UK. █

Drought or News Deserts in the United Kingdom⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jul 16, 2026


France is experiencing_a_severe_drought and so do its neighbours, including the
UK with no_end_in_sight_for_the_dryness. News sites have become similarly "dry"
and there is a drought of news owing to news_deserts, exacerbated partly by LLM
slop and partly by litigation. To put it in perspective, with the_US_as_an
example:

The_Fifth_Estate has collapsed as Larry Ellison with his_fifth_wife_(about_50
years_younger_than_him!) buys a lot of what's left of the American media to
promote The Cheeto, joined by Bezos and Gates (Epsteingate).


In the UK, based on the Press Gazette, many papers shut down or lay off many
reporters. Some papers are sold to foreigners (including billionaires in other
countries), so they help to influence the locals at the behest of hostile
interests.


This was published_a_month_ago, asserting that "more than 4.4 million people
live in ‘news deserts’ that lack dedicated local reporting":

Public Interest News Foundation shows that we should be deeply concerned not
just that social control media (a weapon controlled by China and the US for the
most part) "fills the gap"; it should be obvious we won't be properly informed
or educated about what goes on around us. █

Yesterday: Techrights_Was_Right:_Microsoft's_Layoffs_Tally_Was_False,_Far_More
People_Are_Being_Sacked


So, just_as_we_expected, the whistleblowers_at_Microsoft_are_speaking_out
(anonymously of course) and there are even public protests now [1-3].


As always, we welcome Microsoft whistleblowers (we've had many over the years;
we always protect them). If you have something to say, e.g. means of refuting a
false media narrative, contact us discreetly.


Microsoft has spent almost 20 years trying to silence us (I told many stories
about that; I have concrete proof) and it's still not succeeding. █


Related/contextual items from the news:


   1. ⚓ ‘Microsoft_runs_on_betrayal’:_Laid_off_employees_petition_for_greater
      worker_protections⠀⇛


           Dozens of current and former Microsoft employees gathered
           outside of a game design studio in Richardson on Wednesday
           morning to protest layoffs they say will devastate the
           company’s Xbox gaming empire and may have violated labor
           agreements.


   2. ⚓ Protesting_video-game_workers_in_Montreal_denounce_Microsoft’s
      layoffs⠀⇛


           Dozens of video-game workers protested in Montreal on Wednesday
           to denounce Microsoft’s mass layoffs, alleging the tech giant
           interfered with collective bargaining when it let go of 1,600
           workers in its Xbox gaming division last week.


   3. ⚓ No_One_at_Xbox_Studios_Feels_Safe_as_Uncertainty_and_Fear_Spread_After
      More_Layoffs⠀⇛


           According to several employees, no one at Xbox Studios feels
           safe right now. Many workers are dealing with uncertainty and
           fear as Microsoft continues its restructuring plan, which has
           already led to major job cuts and may not be over yet.


           One employee said: “I don’t know how anyone remaining at Xbox
           Studios can feel safe knowing another 1,600 cuts are coming.
           And even then, what happens after June 2027? Will we get
           layoffs in July for the third year in a row?”

Losing a sense of what it means to be alive


🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Sydney Australia⦈


It's getting very hot here (again) and the grass everywhere is "yellowing"
(some of it won't survive; it'll go past the point of recoverability).


This morning all the birds gathered at the same time. It happened at around 6:
30AM (which is rare). Maybe they could feel the 2026_FIFA_World_Cup
frustration. I was happy to hand them lots and lots of seeds (having used
sanitiser yesterday because "Sleepy" had entered the room by mistake and left a
bit of a mess).


It seems more people now recognise birds as a convenient gateway to nature (see
"All_the_Cool_Kids_Are_Birding") and want to "detoxify" as politicians
recognise the harms of skinnerboxes and social control media [1-4]. People can
"forget" or never learn how to interact with other "living things". Quoting
NPR's_new_article ("The promise and peril of childhood"), slop "begins
replacing the kinds of human interactions that young brains evolved to learn
from. [...] they carry hidden risks for child development."


If you want a companion that you can feed, go out there and find wild animals.
They're not pets, they're not zoo animals ("exhibits"), they're 'free-range'
(freedom-exercising) social creatures like us and now that we have heatwaves
and a severe lack of freshwater even just leaving them a bowl of water can be
extremely helpful to them. It costs nothing but time.


I have growing concerns that people lose a sense of what it means to be alive.
Too often my wife and I see people staring at tiny screens (skinnerboxes) while
totally missing the big picture that unfolds around them. This surely is the
product of chronic addiction, it's not natural behaviour.


We are gratified to see some politicians catching up; this is corporate,
profit-first addiction which enriches people's lives in no material way; it
just sedates them between doses of dopamine. █

      media_platforms⠀⇛


           “It is very clear that we need age-appropriate restrictions to
           platforms,” von der Leyen said during a press conference
           announcing the decision Monday. “This is not about whether
           children can access social media. It is about whether and when
           social media can access our children.”


           While von der Leyen declined to specify a minimum age, she
           expressed the EU’s intention to have a draft law prepared by
           early fall. However, referring to the panel’s report and their
           recommendations regarding internet use among minors, the
           commission president did express an interest in the suggested
           “staged approach” to internet use to reflect the children’s age
           group and expected maturity level, calling this “very
           convincing.”


   2. ⚓ President_von_der_Leyen_receives_the_report_of_the_Special_Panel_on
      Child_Safety_Online⠀⇛


           Children's wellbeing – on and offline – is a cause close to the
           President's heart. When launching the panel, the President
           committed to an inclusive process, bringing together experts,
           parents, and young people themselves. She detailed: “We will
           approach this carefully and listen to everyone. And in all of
           this work we will be guided by the need to empower parents and
           build a safer Europe for our children. Because when it comes to
           our kids' safety online, Europe believes in parents, not
           profits.”


   3. ⚓ Child_Safety_Online:_EU_Weighs_Social_Media_Age_Rules⠀⇛


           The European Commission is moving closer to introducing new
           measures on Child Safety Online after President Ursula von der
           Leyen received recommendations from a Special Panel examining
           the impact of social media on children. The report, released
           Monday, calls for stronger safeguards, greater platform
           accountability, and age-appropriate restrictions as the EU
           prepares to review the findings and present legislative
           proposals after the summer.


           Speaking alongside the panel’s co-chairs, von der Leyen said
           protecting children online has become one of the most pressing
           challenges facing governments. She stressed that parents, not
           algorithms, should shape children’s development and warned that
           the current digital environment is exposing young users to
           growing risks.

           Under the plan, aimed at reducing online harms, certain apps

There are common tidbits or sayings along the lines of, you can infer who is a
good (or bad) person based on who loves (or hates) that person. It's not a
difficult concept to grasp. Bad people abhor people who criticise them, they
detest criticism in general, and they despise Web sites that accurately
describe their behaviour, in turn interfering with that behaviour (e.g. money
laundering, chauvinism, sacrilege).


In medieval times people were literally burned for criticising those in power,
or even for forecasting bad (but true) things. "Witches" and "oracles" could
only be rewarded by serving rulers and/or monarchs, or only as long as they
"played ball".


In November 2006 we called for a boycott of Novell and correctly predicted that
its patent deal with Microsoft would turn out to be a disaster. 4 years later
Novell was no more!


Now, with IBM, we see similar things again. Some Red Hat insiders become
sources to us. Others attack us viciously, both online and offline. They seem
to believe that if somehow they can trick_a_state_into_imprisoning_my_wife,
then whatever we predicted would not happen. The EPO's management attempted to
do the same thing 11 years ago and it didn't work. Instead we became a regular
feature in Private Eye and we are told that "almost everyone at the EPO"
(nearly 7,000 staff) reads us. EPO insiders want and really need to know what
their employer is up to.


Working against us (instead of with us) has historically been a bad strategy,
as Ron_Hovsepian_(first_IBM,_then_Novell,_then_unemployed)_would_know. █

strikes. Should_European_media_not_cover_this? How big an event needs to happen
for European media to pay any attention to EPO scandals? Some wardrobe
malfunction of Putin? A terror attack?


An hour ago I wrote about "News_Drought_or_News_Deserts_in_the_United_Kingdom"
and earlier this week I was at the High Court (a hearing that began 6 days
earlier) for reasons I can explain later.


Months ago, days after the trial of 2025, a journalist from a large European
paper phoned me and said that EUIPO and EPO were notorious when it comes to
SLAPPs. I_know_that_from_firsthand_experience - it's how I got introduced to
some of the UK's best libel lawyers - some of them still helping on a pro bono
basis. We must understand that without media complicity (or silence*) is a big,
huge, very potent enabler of the EPO corruption, entailing a severe
deterioration of Europe's economy and the perceived Rule of Law. █

Based on statCounter, an Irish company, GNU/Linux has gone_up_some_more_today
(now it is even closer to 8% "market share"). Among the big contributors to
that are the US and India, the world's most populous country.

                       I just released my first git tag release v0.1.0-
                       ALPHA on Codeberg.org, but I already had to make
                       some bugfixes so the recent version is v0.1.4-dev
                       and you should use the most recent git commit.

                       Recently, I discovered a list of open source
                       software tainted by LLM/AI use. It lists those that
                       allow the use of AI-assisted development and
                       suggests alternatives to them.

                       I’m getting rid of my bare metal rental in favor of
                       a vps and wireguard.


                       My mail server is likely broken right now, but xmpp
                       and gemini should be okay.


                       The public git repos should also still be hosted
                       via https.

                       falling asleep
                       on one side of the bed
                       my head full of silence
                       I have to learn how
                       to send my most vivid images
                       through the distance
                       instead

                # ⚓ Agility,_July_15th⠀⇛


                       So far, both in the same week seem to be okay, but
                       there's also weeks were only one or none happened
                       because of temperatures, holidays and other
                       appointments. So, we'll see how it all lines up
                       when it's both regular training.


                       Interestingly, the more physically taxing agility
                       leaves me a lot less exhausted than rally obedience
                       that has only walking and no running. But then,
                       I've been doing agility since eight years (and
                       still my body language is no good.) I'm used to it
                       to a certain degree, the running the remembering
                       where I should go next in the parkour, the
                       attempting to point my dog into the right
                       directions. And the failing to do so properly. 🙈 My
                       dog's too good, if I point just a fraction too far
                       to the side, he'll run past the hurdle.

                       that shell expansion would serve the same but

                             I’m conflicted whenever I feel the compulsion
                             to discuss “AI”. I am beyond bored of it as a
                             topic, and there are far more interesting and
                             wonderful things I’d rather be spending my
                             time here sharing. But it’s also the most
                             consequential story in recent tech history.
                             As I mentioned on my last_show, I feel a
                             responsibility as someone in the industry
                             with an infrastructure-level experience and
                             understanding to communicate my concerns.


                             [...]


                             I usually coach my criticism of “AI” on the
                             basis of finance, because it’s often the only
                             metric people care about. I can’t tell you
                             how many times I’ve read articles where the
                             author starts with “leaving ethics aside” or
                             “$EXTERNALITY aside”, as though removing
                             one’s conscience is the only way to approach
                             the topic with an open mind. It speaks to
                             just how callous and disconnected our
                             industry has become from the people for whom
                             we ostensibly used to build these tools and
                             systems, and how it continues to ignore basic
                             human decencies like consent.

                 Creation is the ultimate form of pursuing ourselves,
                 giving to the world when shared, and using the power of

                 Behind Schneider's argument is Albert Hirschman's Exit,
                 Voice, and Loyalty. In it he describes what people do
                 when an institution begins to fail them. They can leave,
                 or they can speak, or just stay out of loyalty. The
                 choices impact each other, for example when leaving
                 becomes easier, fewer people may remain to complain, and
                 the institution may feel less pressure to change. An
                 institution that wants silence can bar the doors, or it
                 can also hold them wide open.


                 Open source by definition keeps the door wide open,
                 legally to boot. But a fork only gives you the code. An
                 open source project is more than its code, it's the sum

                 My vault requires both a master password and a hardware
                 security key. The key cannot be exported, copied, or
                 phished, that's its entire purpose. So the chain remains
                 two independent factors, i.e. something I know and
                 something I have.


                 Whether that trade-off makes sense depends on your threat
                 model, i.e. what is likely to happen to you, not what is
                 theoretically possible. For me, this felt like the right
                 choice.


                 I only wish I hadn't waited so long. The hardest part
                 wasn't technical, it was tedious. And I can't shake the
                 feeling that the tedium was totally by design.

                 One way to prepare your mind for Callard’s theory of the
                 uni-context is to think about the better-known concept of
                 “context collapse.” If you post something to social
                 media, it will be simultaneously visible to your boss,
                 your parents, your ex, and total strangers. So, while
                 your offline life might be distinct with each of these
                 groups—you might be differential to your boss, childish
                 with your parents, and bawdy with your friends—all of
                 those distinctions are flattened on the internet. That’s
                 context collapse, and you can think of it as the answer
                 to a question: How do informational norms change when
                 we’re all living in the same universal room?


                 Callard takes the idea significantly further. She asks:
                 How do all other norms—our morals, our ethics, our sense
                 of what is good for us and for others—change when we
                 continually imagine ourselves to be living in a universal
                 room with everybody else? The connections that Callard
                 makes are consistently surprising, often quite funny, and
                 ultimately mind-exploding.


                 Here is our conversation, edited for clarity, brevity,
                 and simplicity’s sake.

                       The Fourier series is a great tool for analyzing
                       periodic functions. But what about functions that
                       don’t repeat? We’ve seen that we can compute
                       Fourier series for a non-periodic function defined
                       on a finite interval, as long as we don’t care
                       about its behavior beyond that interval.


                       Let’s extend this idea to functions that never
                       repeat; that is, non-periodic functions defined on

                       Matt asked me a question recently about the end of
                       my People and Blogs run. The question was if I
                       always thought I was going to hand it over at some
                       point, and it’s an interesting question worth
                       expanding on, which is why I told him I was going
                       to write a post about it, rather than simply
                       answering via email.


                       I started and ended more online projects than I can
                       remember at this point. I bought a dozen domain
                       names, coded way too many sites, only to have them
                       all inevitably bite the dust, sometimes months
                       later, sometimes years later. But I don’t think I
                       ever started a project with a set deadline in mind.
                       All the projects were open-ended, always.

                       the Wonders of Web Weaving podcast was published, I
                       rejoiced online and said that I was grateful for
                       how, in 2026, I'd experienced a couple of things
                       for the first time: being an MC at a conference and
                       being a guest on a podcast, and that I was keen for

                       existed on Apple platforms for over 20 years now,
                       Mac app icons have historically exhibited a variety
                       of unique silhouettes, which helped identification
                       alongside other visual tools like color, lighting,
                       and dimensionality.


                       Because app icons from the Mac OS X era are so
                       beloved, it’s very understandable—relatable

                       The 2021 design was still three years fresh. But if

                       These days, a lot of things want you to have a
                       (user) D-Bus session bus (to go with the system-
                       wide one), which will listen for connections on
                       some socket (the bus address). On a systemd based
                       system, the normal D-Bus user session bus socket is
                       /run/user/<uid>/bus, which you can see by logging

                             We should therefore delegate to AI agents
                             tasks that are bounded, observable,
                             reversible, and supported by objective
                             checks. We should let them search, summarize,
                             classify, draft, test, transform, and
                             implement changes where failures have a
                             limited impact and where a competent person
                             can review the result. We shouldn’t delegate
                             final responsibility for safety-critical
                             decisions, employment and legal judgments,

                             delegating the very thinking we’re trying to
                             develop. Emerging research associates heavy

                             independent evaluation. Just as a manager who
                             delegates everything eventually loses touch
                             with the work, a professional who delegates

                             judge—it. Rather than resist AI delegation,
                             we should delegate deliberately, retain the
                             expertise needed to supervise it, and never

                             session looks like.


                             You have a task. You think about it for a few
                             moments. You write a prompt. You submit it.
                             You wait. The model generates something. You
                             read it. You evaluate it. Maybe it’s close,
                             maybe it’s off. You adjust the prompt. You
                             submit again. You wait again. You read again.
                             The cycle repeats.


                             Prompt. Wait. Evaluate. Re-prompt.


                             This is not flow. This is the opposite of
                             flow. Let me walk through why.

                             could think of that may also arise. I'll try
                             to get into it as honestly as possible,
                             without just falling back on "it sucks and is
                             bad" and leaving it at that.

                             And yet, this is extremely scary. The reason
                             to be afraid is not that I think the war is
                             going to come to America. It’s not even that
                             I think the United States is going to
                             seriously try to occupy Iran. We don’t have
                             the troops. We don’t have the missiles. Trump
                             depleted a large share of our weaponry in the
                             course of his failed war so far. So this is
                             likely going to be punitive strikes, maybe
                             some war crimes along the way, but that’s
                             all.


                             But what is really frightening here is that
                             it does appear as if Trump has given up on
                             trying to extract something that looks like
                             victory. If we go back just a few days ago,
                             it appeared that what was going to happen was
                             that Trump was going to de facto pull out,
                             give upon the project, take advantage of
                             falling oil prices because the strait was
                             sort of kind of open — and try to spin the
                             story about this was truly, this was actually
                             an American victory and the economy is great

                             the last few years. They have also brought
                             many controversies: age verification laws and
                             what they mean for online anonymity,
                             Wikipedia potentially having to verify the

                             as mandatory form factors for digital
                             identity wallets, not to mention what these

                             the International Criminal Court.


                             My story is about the Swiss governmental
                             login system AGOV. Deployed since 2024, it
                             now counts 1.6 million accounts and it is
                             increasingly becoming the login mechanism to
                             benefit from unemployment insurance, file

                             So I eventually had to create an AGOV

                             WhatsApp safety splits into three layers: The
                             message content, the metadata around it, and
                             your account and device. The Signal Protocol
                             locks down only the content layer, since the
                             encryption design in WhatsApp’s whitepaper
                             does not extend to the surrounding metadata.
                             The layers around the content, from backups
                             to the device to the person you are
                             messaging, carry most of the risk people
                             actually face. The platform’s scale, detailed
                             in our WhatsApp usage data, means even rare

                        Face_Recognition_Tech_‘Exists’⠀⇛


                             According to WIRED’s analysis of the Meta AI
                             app, code for NameTag appeared in the app as
                             early as January. In mid-February, The New
                             York Times reported that Meta had been
                             working on NameTag face recognition. By May,
                             WIRED found, the core components of the
                             NameTag code were present in the MetaAI app.


                             Whether the feature existed prior to Meta
                             removing the code depends on how one defines
                             “feature” and “exist.” Whatever one’s
                             position, a researcher who goes by the name
                             Buchodi reviewed the code at WIRED’s request,
                             and was able to use the NameTag system to
                             recognize a photograph of the face of the
                             philosopher Michel Foucault, famed for his
                             writing on surveillance as an instrument of
                             power.


                             The claim that Meta had no way of describing
                             how the feature works—or even would work—was
                             further undercut last week, when Meta CTO
                             Andrew “Boz” Bosworth did so in detail on a
                             podcast.

                             private information, according to

                             Modern smartphones are harder to compromise
                             than ever. Regular security updates, stricter
                             app store rules, and on-device threat
                             detection have made traditional spyware a
                             much riskier bet for a cyberstalker than it
                             used to be.


                             As a result, we’re increasingly seeing
                             abusers turn to something far simpler: the
                             legitimate apps already sitting on their
                             victim’s phone. No installation, no
                             suspicious permissions, no telltale battery
                             drain — just a quiet misuse of a feature the
                             victim never knew existed.


                             The Chrome sync technique is one of the
                             clearest examples of this shift yet, and it’s
                             arguably more concerning than most because of
                             just how popular Chrome is.

                             collectively agrees not to think about what
                             just happened. That works fine right up until

                             perfectly. Or the other way around. That’s

                       But the premiere never happened. According to

                       someone affiliated with the Indian government,
                       saying that if the film screened in Toronto, it
                       would never appear at home. Trehan and his producer
                       agreed, but the approval never came. India’s
                       ratings agency, the Central Board of Film
                       Certification (CBFC), demanded 127 cuts — including
                       cutting the word “Punjab” from a film about the
                       state. If implemented, they would have left the
                       film (in Trehan’s words) as little more than a
                       “trailer.”


                       After years of court cases and failed wrangling,
                       Trehan and his producer gave up on a theatrical
                       release. They signed an agreement with Zee5, an

                       exclusively on their platform in July under the new
                       name Satluj.

                       3, Zee5 removed Satluj for Indian viewers at the
                       request of the government, which claimed the film
                       threatened public order and national security. This
                       weekend, it was removed from Zee5’s international
                       service as well, meaning the film was no longer

                       It’s a distressing situation. It’s also not
                       exceptional. The number of workers who have been
                       unemployed for twenty-seven weeks or longer, a
                       category known as “long-term unemployment,” has
                       grown to nearly two million and now constitutes 25
                       percent of the total unemployed population. Many
                       workers are giving up on finding a job altogether.
                       In June, the unemployment rate actually went down,
                       but only because seven hundred thousand unemployed
                       workers stopped searching and are no longer
                       included in the official count. The crisis has been
                       worse for black workers, who are disproportionately
                       represented among the unemployed.

                       The best time for tech workers to unionize was 20
                       years ago, when they had plenty of leverage. The
                       second-best time is now, when they don’t.


                       Mass layoffs, AI-driven displacement, corporate
                       surveillance, workplace disillusionment have
                       created conditions that have made organizing
                       compelling for tech professionals. But the federal
                       labor board that has historically protected
                       workers’ right to organize has been weakened, and

                       What’s going on, Internet? Olly wants a physical-
                       digital music experience: browse the racks at your
                       local record store, chat to the staff, listen to
                       stuff, but instead of bagging the vinyl, pay them
                       for a FLAC download and have the store clip the
                       ticket. I think I’m into it…


                       While I still buy records physically, I often don’t
                       have the time to get into the local record store
                       weekly to dig through the crates. I purchase my
                       records through a few stores online, often lining
                       up with sales as vinyl is expensive.


                       When I’m buying a digital album, it’s usually
                       through the artist or band’s website directly,
                       Bandcamp, or Qobuz as a last resort. That way the
                       sale goes through to the artist or band as directly

                             The EU's highest court has ruled that
                             publishers who use state-of-the-art geo-
                             blocking are not liable for copyright
                             infringement, even when users bypass their
                             restrictions with a VPN. The ruling, which
                             was handed down in the landmark copyright
                             battle involving digital copies of the iconic
                             Anne Frank diary, also shields VPN providers
                             from liability.
