This is not only the trajectory of Debian. It is one of many. If I ever attempted to enter Debian, I'd likely be turned down as I'm not good at being a parrot of lies of corporations or sucking up to these corporations in exchange for their "rewards". Remember who sponsors Debian's servers and why. When we say "corporations" we mostly allude to very large companies, not small firms, which can SLAPP and bully critics while bribing public officials ("slush funds") and whole projects. They can also buy their rivals. Debian is mobbing people or acting like a "cult" (as a Debian Developer put it), just like many corporations do, more so if someone steps out of line and 'embarrasses' the Debian 'elites' (some of them work for GAFAM and are funded by GAFAM). We're not talking about wunderkind developers but people whose credentials boil down to, "I'm good at silencing my critics..." Debian is still our distro of choice (CERN_has_just_dumped_IBM_for_Debian), but recent developments worry us deeply. █ ===============================================================================

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 08, 2026 Published yesterday: EPO_Hiding_Cocainegate_and_Abandoning_Transparency_(Even Access_to_Very_Basic_Information_is_Denied) 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Acapulco⦈ Two Fridays ago the representatives of EPO staff or the Central Staff Committee wrote and then shared an "open letter" (open for staff to see) addressed to the President, who is not elected per se, he's just appointed owing to nepotism and corruption. The predecessor took away permanent contracts from lots of employees, then the latest dictator reduced their compensation. This is what the representatives wrote: Dear Colleagues, The Central Staff Committee (CSC) have written an open letter to the President to request additional information regarding the recent communication on fixed-term contracts. The Office announce that the annual review led to 18 colleagues being converted to a permanent appointment and 128 receiving an extension for a second five-year term. However, greater transparency regarding the full scope of decisions made, both positive and negative, would provide important reassurance to the large number of fixed-term colleagues trying to understand their own future prospects. These decisions have an exceptionally important impact on the colleagues concerned. Staff may spend up to ten years working for the Organisation without knowing whether they will ultimately be offered stable employment. During that period colleagues build their careers and lives around the EPO, often after relocating internationally together with their families. A decision not to extend or convert can therefore have consequences extending far beyond the employment relationship itself. Moreover, after five to ten years, the experience gained becomes increasingly niche and less transferable outside the Office, while advancing age can create more barriers for colleagues if they must seek work elsewhere. Where colleagues face such prolonged job precarity, a transparent, predictable and evenly applied procedure is a relatively small but meaningful way for the Organisation to demonstrate respect for their commitment and contribution to the Office. Read more in the open letter. The letter is dated a day earlier (Thursday) and it enumerates issues/ questions: European Patent Office 80298 Munich Germany Central Staff Committee Comité central du personnel Zentraler Personalausschuss centralSTCOM@epo.org Reference: sc26063cl Date: 27/08/2026 European Patent Office | 80298 MUNICH | GERMANY To: Mr António Campinos (President of the EPO) Cc: Social Dialogue By_email: To: president@epo.org Cc: socialdialogue@epo.org § OPEN LETTER⠀➾ ⚓ Request for transparency in the conversion from fixed-term to permanent contracts⠀⇛ Dear Mr President, We refer to the recent Office communication concerning this year's review of fixed-term appointments under Circular 405. According to the communication, 18 eligible colleagues were converted to permanent appointments, while a further 128 received an extension of their fixed- term appointments. We welcome every conversion to permanent employment and congratulate the colleagues concerned. At the same time, the announcement has understandably raised questions among fixed-term colleagues about how the 18 conversions were selected. Since 1 April 2018, fixed-term appointments became the only basis on which new staff were recruited. According to Circular 405, the Office conducts the extension and conversion exercise once annually, which we understand happens during summer. With decisions required to be communicated at least 12 months before the end of an appointment, the first colleagues who joined the Office under the new employment framework are now entering the conversion process. Circular 405 describes its procedure as a “proactive, standard and transparent process” intended to give employees “greater clarity about their future prospects at the EPO”. It establishes a pattern of an initial five-year appointment, an extension for another five years and then conversion into permanent employment. Article 1(4), however, also ===================================================================== allows the President to convert appointments before ten years of continuous service have elapsed. The recent announcement lacks information to understand whether the 18 conversions correspond to a defined recruitment cohort approaching the normal point for conversion, or whether some concern earlier discretionary conversions. We would therefore appreciate clarification on the following: 1. What was the recruitment-date range of the colleagues considered for conversion in this year's annual exercise? In particular, did it extend to before 1 April 2018? 2. How many colleagues were considered in this exercise and what were their outcomes? Please provide the numbers converted to permanent employment, extended, and whose appointments ended without extension after five years, and without conversion after ten years. 3. Were any of the 18 colleagues converted under Article 1(4) before reaching the normal point for conversion? If so, how many and according to which objective criteria were these early conversions decided? 4. What is the distribution of the 18 conversions by DG and job group? In particular, how many concern examiners, administrative staff, lawyers and management functions? 5. For the colleagues who did not have their contract extended or converted after 5 and 10 years respectively, what criteria were applied in making these decisions? In particular, how was the “needs of the service” criterion applied in practice and how was consistency ensured between different functions and organisational units? We would therefore appreciate receiving the information requested above in an anonymised form, fully respecting the privacy of the individual colleagues concerned. Sincerely yours, Derek Kelly Chairman of the Central Staff Committee To people in the European workforce some of the questions above may seem both relevant and applicable. The EPO does not experience a lack of income, it's just growing greed.

This is not the first time he expresses (apprehensively, his boss is the Linux_Foundation, bribed by the slop industry) concerns about Linux slipping out of developers' control only to become a bloated pig that few people_understand.

Since then we've seen one comment deleted and one added to say: "I’ve seen some LinkedIn posts that some layoffs happened today at Microsoft. How big was the layoff?" Well, they just don't announce these, but they happen all the time, sometimes together_with_shutdowns. Folks who think Microsoft isn't firing loads of people this months and won't do the same next month (days and weeks before the bogus "results") simply aren't paying attention or aren't speaking to people inside Microsoft. Their colleagues (peers) know all about the layoffs, they just fear telling the "outside world" about it (in case they get caught, then punished). Microsoft is a market leader.

With Switzerland_dumping_Microsoft (we anticipated this after France had done the same at the federal level a few months ago) and Windows_rapidly_losing share_in_its_"home_country", expect the silent layoffs to carry on while the company's debt is in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Microsoft cannot sustain itself by buzzword dropping. Even "quantum" is increasingly mentioned by Microsoft [1, 2] because anyone with functional synapses at Microsoft recognises that slop is a bubble and it'll pop. We've begun seeing the_mainstream_media parroting laughable claims about ""AI" and "quantum" datacentres" and the key part is the word and. There is no "quantum" to speak of [1, 2], they just prepare their excuses and fallbacks a priori for when "AI" flounders. █ * SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_175_Out_of_200:_Implicit_and_Explicit_Coalition Against_the_UK's_SLAPP_Industry * Links_08/09/2026:_"The_Green_Revolution_Has_Failed_Africa"_and_Palantir/ Microsoft_Harming_NHS ⣻⣻⣿⣛⣟⣛⣿⣛⣻⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠛⠿⠛⠛⠛⠻⠿⠋⠉⠻⠋⠉⠛⠻⠉⠛⠟⠉⠹⠿⠉⠻⠿⠟⠻⠿⡿⠿⠿⠏⠉⠿⠏⠉⠿⠟⠉⠻⠟⠉⠻⠿⠛⠙⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠏⠉⠿⠏⠙⠿⡟⠉⠿⠿⠙⠿⣿⠛⠻⢿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠯⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿ ⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 819 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/09/08/Over_at_Tux_Machines.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/09/08/Over_at_Tux_Machines.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Over at Tux Machines...⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 08, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Mountain view with dramatic sunset skies⦈ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Mountain_view_with_dramatic_sunset_skies⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ ⚓ Updates:⠀⇛ 1.

200: Implicit and Explicit Coalition Against the UK's SLAPP Industry⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 08, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Bringing media organisations, lawyers, human rights defenders and other members of civil society together in solidarity with targets of SLAPPs⦈ As noted in recent parts, including the ongoing series about the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), there is growing resistance in the UK against the SLAPP_Industry. We've identified some of the key firms ("hired guns") in this "industry" and the SRA_recognises_the_problem, which is not hard to notice, but has done nothing substantial about it (see Part_I, Part_II, Part_III, and Part IV of the ongoing series about incompetence and inaction). Regarding coalitions against SLAPP, there's a formal one at antislapp.uk, which actually helped us. It even managed to help us get pro bono assistance sometimes. Help from high-profile and qualified professionals, not just aggressive and greedy people who keep shouting at us, defaming us, and threatening_us_illegally. The SRA's inaction is in effect letting abhorrent Americans spend a_fortune and beg third parties to fund their_lawfare. We did endure and while we_could economically_handle/contain_their_attacks (imagine being attacked by violent men_who_strangle_women), it never made these attacks acceptable. Thankfully, even outside the above coalition there are informal coalitions and various groups of people we spoke to (mentioned in passing). We urge to change the system that facilitates lawfare such as this and we've gotten ministers involved [1, 2]. It's not question of whether the law will be amended; now it's just a question of when. █ Previous Parts: 2026- Microsofters'_SLAPP_Censorship_-_Part_1_Out_of_200:_Claim_No._KB-2024-001270_in 03-03

The archive is different to the other fates that befall Stuff. We have to tackle the miasmic stacks eventually, perhaps in a burst of spring cleaning, but I think we expect not to have to clear out archives - ever. We imagine that the box of keepsakes should be kept indefinitely, because these are the Really Important things. Of course this becomes impossible eventually. How many archive boxes are you allowed? Maybe you have a big house, so you can have a lot. What about the people that inherit them? How many of your boxes are they obliged to preserve, on top of boxes of their own? How much physical storage space are you allowed to claim for yourself, indefinitely? What happens when your successors decide their Stuff is more important than yours? Accumulating Stuff without limit means accumulating cost without limit. Who pays? # ⚓ beyond_the_frame⠀⇛ I brace myself for the question that never comes and find out the answer is shaped like a question # ⚓ How_my_memory_works⠀⇛ Last night, I was walking with my daughter when we stopped to talk to a woman with a dog. She knew my daughter’s name. I had no idea who she was. I tried to place her while we talked, but her face gave me nothing. Then she turned to my daughter and said, “Do you remember Toki?” Toki was the dog. Suddenly, I remembered the woman. I remembered meeting her several times on other walks and seeing her once with her husband. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Announcing_Perigee⠀⇛ I recently published Perigee, a Gemini server written in Rust. The project README gives a detailed overview of its capabilties, so I won't go into them here, but briefly, it supports static files, user directories, client auth, and dynamic content via CGI and SCGI. It is configured via a YAML file, in which you can specify one or more rules describing how requests should be handled. Each rule has a "match" component which describes *when* it will be used to handle a request, and an "action" component which describes *how* it will handle the request. Perigee also supports multiple hostnames, which was actually a large part of the motivation for developing it: now I can serve requests to "bunburya.eu" and "gemini.bunburya.eu" side by side (pointing to the same content). When I set up this capsule I went with "gemini.bunburya.eu", without really thinking about it. I'd rather use the more concise "bunburya.eu" going forward, but I don't want any of my existing pages or posts to suffer linkrot so I will retain support for "gemini.bunburya.eu". # ⚓ Thoughts_on_a_Gemini_MCP⠀⇛ BBS was abuzz with discussion earlier this week^ over the release of a model context protocol for Gopher and Gemini.^^ A model context protocol is a standard used by LLMs and other AI tools to interface with external data sources--in this case, it enables AI tools to directly query the Gopher and Gemini protocols. The announcement of this MCP caused a great deal of consternation on BBS, especially since Gemini's recent draw has largely been to avoid the saturation of dopamine-targeting AI generated-content on the mainline Internet. This is far from a new discussion in Geminispace. Capsule operators in particular have been discussing the problem of scrapers and crawlers for a long time. As an operator myself, I'd like to share a few thoughts on the situation. # ⚓ Presentations_in_a_browser⠀⇛ Making presentations over Zoom has become a regular part of my working life ever since the dark days of the pandemic. Those days may be a distant memory, but zoom has become a fixture. I started out using Powerpoint and Impress, its Libre Office equivalent, but I've never got on with PowerPoint and didn't enjoy the experience. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

But if you’re wondering whether or not to read Momo, do it, it’s great. It feels weird that I never read Michael Ende’s Momo until now since it feels like I’ve lived my life as if it had made a deep impressions on me early on. And lately it feels that way more than ever. # ⚓ Ultra_Introverts⠀⇛ I came across an interesting article about ultra- introverts, those who spend most of their lives away from others, typically by working or just being awake at night [0]. I've long identified as an introvert, and I've often thought I could go for very long periods without human contact. I am quite content to be alone with my thoughts, or books, or whatever other solitary pursuits I can find. # ⚓ bipolar⠀⇛ No more mice. House is getting back to a better rhythm. I still have a couple guests living here. As much as I love them, I feel I am still unpacking from my summer. My cooler is still in the entrance, still need to be cleaned. # ⚓ breath_wave⠀⇛ Twelves mice, two sauna later. Something shifted. Memories of what I want to change. A realignment, it feels good. I wonder, can I navigate with the sensations within me? Have I become hyper sensitive to the path I take. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ The_Songbird_Puts_Teensy_4.1-Compatible_Audio_Processing_in the_Palm_of_Your_Hand⠀⇛ Texas-based Operator Services Corporation is preparing to launch an open-hardware gadget deigned to put flexible audio processing capabilities in the palm of your hand: the PJRC Teensy 4.1- compatible Songbird. "Songbird is a complete, ready-to-use solution for your audio projects," the company says of its design. "It is compatible with the Teensy 4.1 Arduino core and Audio library. You can use it as a standalone device or plug it into a compatible USB Type-C audio [host] device such as a smartphone or computer. You can write your own sketches without any soldering involved and make your own musical instruments, audio-based art installations, and sound inventions. Several example sketches are also provided that you can use immediately such as an MP3 player, voice recorder, ukulele tuner, and phone call recorder." # ⚓ Sorting_out_the_clutter⠀⇛ They're right, of course. The world is finite. There's only so much space. That's probably just as true of digital stuff as it is of physical stuff, though I think it would be foolish to imagine that we're anywhere near the upper limit of what's possible with digital storage. (The first hard drive I ever bought had, I think, 48MB and seemed unimaginably huge) Recognizing that there are limits is the first step towards a truly sane economics. Nothing can grow for ever. I think that's the most important contribution to the world that the small internet and "salvage computing" can make to the world. Learning to make better use of what we have is surely better feeling that you must always go out and get something new. # ⚓ Using_BlackBerry_Bold_in_2026⠀⇛ Because. And I believe it should be enough. But I'll play good and explain a little bit more :) Starting from a young age I was always fascinated by BlackBerry devices, they are so cool in design and in engineering senses. Slick, pretty, full keyboard that is actually usable, size that is comfortable in hand and at the same time works great with touch screen. Man, these devices are something else. But when I was young I did not have money or a way to buy one of them. So when I got older, I bought one from Aliexpress just because it was cheap, and it brought me joy. I remember that when it arrived, I put my sim card in it, tried to call my other phone (I always have two, one is private, another one is just for spam calls and work), it worked, then I opened some site, got a ton of errors. Then I moved the card back into my spam phone and BlackBerry went into the drawer for more than 3 years. # ⚓ Marching_ants⠀⇛ I was watching a tutorial on YouTube recently. It was a pretty long-form guide to the GIMP. Some time into it, the author mentioned an ever-moving outline of the selected area that he referred to as "marching ants." Those "ants" were simply white pixels that were constantly moving in one direction around the outline of the selected area. It made me wonder. # ⚓ An_AI_made_me_laugh_🤖⠀⇛ OK, so now I can use C: by its secret synonym, and the computer occasionally says it likes cheese. The message is infrequent so I forget about it, and then sit at my desk chuckling when it appears. So where does the AI come in? I'm fairly AI-phobic, but I'm expected to use it at work. Questions were asked when I used fewer credits/tokens than everyone else. So this week I've been getting it to write regression tests. It's boring. I'm occasionally approving its request to do something, and occasionally finding it some input files that it needs. I'm not quite redundant yet³. When the AI runs stuff it loves PowerShell (yuk!) but occasionally it starts the plain old command processor, and even more occasionally gets the output "I like cheese!" which it notices, describes as "stray output from something" or "terminal noise", and decides to ignore. But I'm very happy and laughing at the AI having to deal with some nonsense that I put in there to amuse myself. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ What's_the_catch?⠀⇛ **SPOILERS*** I talk a little about the movie The Backrooms. If you haven't seen the movie or the web series and want to go in clean, skip my post. Over the past month or two I've had a handful of run ins with AI and AI-adjacent situations that have made me start to question this timeline. While I'm sure most of us in the smolweb would love to talk about anything else, I'm beginning to wonder if we are moving into the next phase of agentic AI. AI has been around a long time. At least the first kind has been. AI used to be any sort of system one created with a extremely narrow target that incorporated a lot of prior data to come to a conclusion. In the early 2000s I wrote an application that would take pipeline layouts and hardware replacement sales info to create a system that could look at your setup and determine what would wear out the quickest. That was AI back then. There was a lot of that type of code out there. We were never worried about that code taking over the world and no one expected it to do more tasks than the one it was explicitly designed for. # ⚓ LoRa_BBS_specification_+_flashing_the_RNodes⠀⇛ Friends visited me who have experience building wireless networks with LoRa ("long range") radios. We worked on realizing my idea of a BBS (bulletin board system) for children/teens in my town. We got most of the way there in two days of sweating in my muggy garage. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

In an increasingly polarized political system, Merz, whose personal approval ratings have sunk ‌to record lows, was one of the main targets of voter ire over the cost of living, pensions and economic insecurity.

They should be about dignity compromised, made risible, and anyone who has observed a cat try to compose itself with desperate nonchalance after, say, slipping off a window ledge, should know that cats are already halfway to being cartoons of themselves. Shelton captures this admirably. No one to my knowledge has observed so well how a cat looks in panic or disaster, or, with such economy of line, their self-absorption while washing themselves; it excuses and indeed validates the strips (and there are, it has to be admitted, a few) where the punchline is weak even to the point of non-existence; but then when you are faithfully drawing an animal, you are going to have to be largely faithful to its drives, which revolve around eating, shitting, fighting and fucking. o ⚓ Thomas Jensen ☛ Home_network_v2_—_the_never-ending_story⠀⇛ Now — five years and 17 posts later — I don’t really have any idea where I am going with this… I’m continuously improving my home network.

Since coming back, it appears most of these chains have been relegated to being storefronts for the same rebranded tat you can buy online. This strikes me as odd: if online stores are threatening to eat your lunch, acting just like them doesn’t seem like a winning strategy. Then again, I’m no retail expert. o ⚓ Jeff Dickey ☛ Dotfiles_That_Save_Themselves⠀⇛ mise bootstrap already supported two common ways of managing dotfiles: keep them in a repository and symlink them into place, as GNU Stow does, or generate the live files from stored sources and templates, as chezmoi normally does. o § Science / Mathematics / Computer Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Logikal Solutions ☛ ISAM_-_Because_Academics_and_AI_Get_It Wrong⠀⇛ A Cylinder is some number of tracks in the same place on every platter. It very much is that thing from high school geometry you have such fond memories about. A Track is a ring of sectors going all the way around a single platter. Yes, sectors change size as you move to the spindle in the center. Historically we wasted a lot of storage because nobody had figured out how to implement disk blocks allowing us to use all of the rust on the platter. Today many would refer to a sector as a disk block, but it wasn’t. It was a slice of a track. They were different sizes in each track, but they were the same percentage of that track. That concession was required for sanity. When you re-organized an ISAM file, some portion of the “records” or primary data area was left empty. The same was true for the index at the top. Inserting records was inefficient but the data had to be kept in sorted order. You could not span a track. If the record, or index, did not fit, it had to go to overflow. # ⚓ Kieran Healy ☛ Research_Workflows⠀⇛ I’m teaching MPTC again this semester and have been developing a few workflow slides.

When AI can take care of retrieving facts and putting words together in reassuringly trite ways, your edge as a carbon- based lifeform lies in your ability to go deep, have stances, and know how to convey and defend them. You can do that if you train in the dojo of Plato and Chomsky. Let me offer an alternative to learning a trade like plumbing or carpentry. Cast the monkey wrench aside for a moment. Instead, start looking at the intellectual foundations of human culture and consider studying philosophy (of any kind), literature, linguistics (the computational flavor is OK), math, history, or anthropology. If you already hold a degree in that area, it’s time to dust it off. And if going back to university is not your thing (I know it’s not mine), self-study is the way to go. If you’re an engineer, adding a bundle of Classics to your skill tree will do you good. Not that degrees guarantee you’ll become a thinker, mind you, but some of it might stick on you still. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ US Right to Know ☛ Bill_Gates’s_African_farm_revolution: hunger_rises,_yield_growth_lags⠀⇛ Now, nearly 20 years of data are in, and AGRA’s results fall far short of its promises. They raise fundamental questions about AGRA, the Gates Foundation and their influence on African governments and institutions. The AGRA effort drew more than $1.5 billion in donations (two-thirds from the Gates Foundation), as African governments spent an estimated $1 billion a year in subsidies for fertilizer and other inputs in AGRA’s target countries. # ⚓ SBS ☛ The_unusual_tactics_some_shoppers_admit_to_as_fruit and_vegetable_prices_spike⠀⇛ More than four in 10 shoppers are buying only what they can afford rather than what they want to eat, according to a new survey. # ⚓ [Old] Scientific American ☛ Bill_Gates_Should_Stop_Telling Africans_What_Kind_of_Agriculture_Africans_Need⠀⇛ A primary proponent of this view is the Cornell Alliance for Science (CAS), founded in 2014 to “depolarize the charged debate” around genetically modified (GM) seeds. With $22 million in funding thus far from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the CAS in fact consistently defends GM seeds, arguing that they are healthy, productive and environmentally friendly, while attacking agroecology as economically and socially regressive. In contrast, the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA), which represents more than 200 million farmers, fishers, pastoralists, indigenous peoples, women, consumers and others across all but five African countries, holds that agroecology is what our continent needs. Small-scale, ecofriendly cultivation methods using indigenous knowledge and inputs and cutting-edge science increase the variety, nutritive value and quantity of foods produced on farms while stabilizing rural economies, promoting gender equity and protecting biodiversity. # ⚓ [Old] IATP ☛ Whose_Agenda?_The_Corporate_Takeover_of_Corn in_SE_Asia⠀⇛ In terms of threats, the immediate issue facing our countries right now is the importation, testing and commercial release of transgenic corn. It is important to ensure that the interests of farmers, consumers, the environment and the poor in general are firmly accounted for in this process. Many people throughout the region are getting active in biosafety debates, as well as the discussions on the new round of multilateral trade negotiations at the WTO. Both of these could decisively protect or neglect the public interest, depending on the level of society's involvement. At the same time, changes in technologies or markets should not undermine the opportunities for rural families to continue cultivating corn in the context of sustainable agriculture in Southeast Asia. Despite the growing influence of private sectors on our governments, we need strong public research systems that develop corn varieties and technologies relevant to poor farmers and to the food needs of our people. We also need to support alternative research and marketing structures where farmers can take control in setting priorities and improving production, processing and distribution systems themselves. Alternative farmer-led research and development approaches can be very successful on the ground, as we have seen in our countries with rice. # ⚓ Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa ☛ The_Green Revolution_Has_Failed_Africa:_Twenty_Years_of_Evidence_and What_Works_Instead [PDF]⠀⇛ For more than two decades, Africa has been promised an agricultural transformation based on improved seeds, synthetic fertilisers, mechanisation and commercial markets. Governments were urged to subsidise inputs, reform policies and attract private investment. Yields would rise, farmers would prosper and hunger would fall. Twenty years is long enough to ask: what has this model delivered? This report tests those promises against the evidence. Across the thirteen countries prioritised by AGRA, fertiliser use more than doubled and cultivated land expanded by 46 per cent, yet staple-yield growth did not accelerate. Much of the production increase came from bringing more land under cultivation, while crops such as millet and sorghum lost ground. Most troublingly, the number of chronically undernourished people increased by 58 per cent. o § Proprietary / Vendor Lock-in / Malware⠀➾ # ⚓ Crytek_Hit_by_More_Layoffs_in_Turkey_and_Germany⠀⇛ Crytek, makers of the legendary, PC-crippling Crysis and The Hunt: Showdown 1896, has seemingly conducted another round of layoffs—making this the second in as many years, following layoffs in February 2025—per reporting by Insider Gaming.

A question I recently answered in a chat started with: [...] # § So-Called 'Artificial Intelligence' ('AI') / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ RTL ☛ 'Tremendous_mistake':_Macron,_SKorea_leader warn_at_film_summit_of_AI_risks_to_creativity⠀⇛ Hollywood favourite George Clooney brought some of his star power to the event, which brought together more than 200 guests from dozens of countries, including top executives from US studios such as Sony Pictures and Disney. Called the Lumiere summit, in a nod to Auguste and Louis Lumiere, the French brothers considered the inventors of the motion picture, the event took place in the medieval village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence near Nice and was co-chaired by South Korean President Lee Jae Myung. # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Build_a_digitally_sovereign_second brain⠀⇛ A while ago, we read the book Building a Second Brain by Tiago Forte (Figure 1). It starts with the idea that we are all a little overloaded and bombarded with information, and how overwhelming it can be to not be able to retrieve the information that we need at a later time. The foundation of a Second Brain is to increase the capture and cataloguing rate of information, and the book delves into lots of custom systems to tag, organise, prioritise, and retrieve information. This Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) idea feels similar to the ideas of David Allen and the older, but still brilliant, ‘Getting Things Done’ system. # ⚓ Michael Taggart ☛ Unsafe_At_Any_Speed⠀⇛ The objective here is to do things better than a human, and by "better" I do not mean "faster." We do not require the models' speed to build quality software. It is unclear whether the attendant costs of that speed allow us to maintain secure, high-quality software if LLMs are the primary means of production. Are the models' solutions more elegant? No; the models produce highly verbose solutions that are difficult to maintain and often suffer from "feature creep," adding bloat and complexity to the output. Are the models' solutions more creative? Indeed, they can't be, since their very architecture will regress to the mean of their training data when generating responses. Are the models' solutions more secure? Weirdly no—despite advances in finding vulnerable patterns in some types of code, models seem dreadfully locked in to the insecure patterns they've learned from example code. Perhaps they can't be blamed ("I learned it by watching you!") but again, this tool is supposed to exceed our capacity, not repeat our mistakes. Ah, but I'm getting hung up on whether the tool works. I don't care whether it works right now; I care why we want it to. # ⚓ Justin Duke ☛ Hiring_and_firing_a_DBA⠀⇛ The second reason is that the LLM consistently overclaimed — both the scale of the improvement it was making and its confidence in being able to make any change whatsoever. I led with the exciting headline: it cut 25% of our reads. Which is great! But that impressive feat is itself roughly 25% of what it claimed it was going to do. Yes, the math there is not a typo. Largely, I think, this is because we did not — for obvious reasons — give it access to the actual production dataset, only the metadata about it. So it was calibrating a lot of its estimates against synthetic datasets it would conjure up itself, and synthetic data is a flattering mirror. The combination of the two meant this experiment had crossed from positive value into negative-value territory. # ⚓ Fernando Borretti ☛ The_Education_of_a_Doomer⠀⇛ If you follow me on Twitter, or read this blog, you have noticed that I went from being generally optimistic and excited about AI to being extremely concerned. And I thought, I should explain why I changed my mind. Each section of this post is about some aspect of AI where my views shifted. I begin each section by explaining my previous beliefs, and why I held them, and then explain why those beliefs changed. # ⚓ arXiv ☛ [2609.03344]_Large-Language_Models_as_a Cognitive_Virus⠀⇛ Large-language models (LLMs) are rapidly becoming part of human culture, reshaping how information is produced, transmitted, and used. Here we propose that their diffusion can be understood through a viral analogy, with LLM use spreading through populations, becoming embedded in cognitive and cultural practices. We model transitions among uncoupled, coupled, and persistently dependent users, and show that the interplay between social transmission, recovery, and collective reinforcement can generate tipping points and technological lock-in. A central consequence is the possibility of runaway dynamics: once a critical threshold is crossed, small increases in adoption can trigger rapid population-level shifts toward persistent dependence, with abrupt losses in cognitive competence. The same framework, however, identifies conditions for cognitive immunization, based on reducing transmission and facilitating reversibility. Our results highlight how LLM adoption may involve nonlinear collective transitions with important consequences for cognitive autonomy. # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ Robin Berjon ☛ Media_Media⠀⇛ All of those have pro-authoritarian leadership, and the only one that isn't MAGA- aligned (outside of the US) is TikTok. Those numbers are for reach, but they correspond to reported numbers on news referrals as well as with socio-cultural influence. A few other sources make a decent showing in the list (SnapChat, LinkedIn) but they remain small. No European app makes the list. This is well-known, but it's not the whole story. Two other factors must be taken into account. First, social media isn't just another media — it's the leading distribution channel for other media too. In a sense, what we're dealing with is media media. Globally, social media is the number one source of news and social media native forms of news are rising sharply. Second, social media is editorial media and is only marginally influenced by social aspects. According to Meta's own disclosure, only 7% of time spent on Instagram (and 17% on Facebook) involves content from people you follow. You read that right: 93% of time spent on Instagram is on content chosen editorially by Meta. We don't have numbers for other platforms, but the existing evidence points in the same direction (e.g. both YouTube and TikTok actively push boys towards toxic masculinist content).

In May, the Port of Dover declared a "critical incident" during half-term after wait times hit four-and-a-half hours on a day handling roughly 8,500 outbound tourist vehicles. # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ ‘Mistrust’_of_Palantir_may_affect NHS_research,_says_health_minister⠀⇛ The government is deciding whether to axe the company’s £330m contract to operate the health service’s federated data platform, which is intended to improve efficiency and patient outcomes. Frith’s comment, in a letter to Layla Moran, the chair of the Commons health committee, follows a rise in patients opting out of allowing their medical data to be shared. In the two months from mid-May to mid-July, 60,000 more people withdrew their private information under a mechanism called the national data opt-out. # ⚓ CBC ☛ Grindr_to_pay_$48-million_settlement_over_sale of_users'_info_—_including_HIV_status⠀⇛ The claim alleges Grindr violated U.K. privacy protection laws for a period prior to April 2020, when Grindr updated its consent guidelines, by sharing data with other companies in exchange for payment or commercial benefits. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Man_Arrested_After_Allegedly_Shooting Flaming_Projectile_at_Flock_Cameras,_Melting_Them_Into Slag⠀⇛ On social media, supporters further fanned the flames, expressing support for Williams and blasting the police department for deploying the devices in the first place. “What it boils down to is this, either y’all can take them down or somebody will!” one Facebook user declared under Fox5‘s post about the arrest. Another commenter made an appeal to patriotism: “it wasn’t him, he was at the library rereading the Constitution!” # ⚓ EDRI ☛ Why_the_EU_age-verification_tool_does_not solve_privacy_concerns⠀⇛ Confusingly, instead of an app, the Commission had back then published a mere ‘blueprint’, meaning a sample design based on which Member States were themselves invited to build their own app, together with a demo app showing what the end result might look like. The Commission nicknamed this the ‘mini-wallet’, as it recommends basing its technical specifications on those of the eID Wallet, which each government must provide to its residents by the end of 2026. At EDRi, we argue that there are ways to ensure online safety without resorting to widespread, mandatory age verification. If lawmakers still insist on using age-gates, however, then it’s essential that this be done via tools which respect the highest standards of privacy, cybersecurity and data protection, and which are available to all without discrimination. The Commission promises a tool which supposedly respects these ‘highest standards’, but hasn’t delivered yet. Let’s look at this infrastructure of control whose deployment is unfolding so quickly. # ⚓ Ava ☛ health_data_and_broad_consent⠀⇛ Health data is in this weird spot where most people do not wish to share it, but on the other hand, most of us are supportive of research and new scientific discoveries that could help prevent, treat or cure disease. This doesn't immediately seem like a contradiction, because after all, we have clinical trials. Unfortunately, they only get us so far, as they are limited in scope, population, and variables. That is also why there is a period of time after market authorization (in EU at least) where a drug is additionally monitored as the general population starts to use it for the first time, and more trials are needed. # § Confidentiality⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Welsh_environment_regulator's_FoI blunder_exposes_diversity_data_of_2,000_staff⠀⇛ Natural Resources Wales (NRW) says diversity data belonging to around 2,000 current and former employees who worked at the environmental regulator between April 2013 and March 2018 was exposed in a classic Freedom of Information (FoI) blunder. The Welsh government-sponsored body confirmed on Friday the information was "inadvertently disclosed" in a spreadsheet published on a website. Its statement did not identify the site, explain how the sensitive data came to be posted there, or say how many people were affected. NRW subsequently told The Register that around 2,000 people were affected and said it had released the information in 2021 as part of a response to a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ New Eastern Europe ☛ What_would_a_Russian_test_of_NATO actually_look_like?_-_New_Eastern_Europe⠀⇛ The CIA director’s unusual trip to Moscow came amid warnings that Russia could challenge the Alliance without starting another conventional war. Along NATO’s eastern flank, repeated incidents are already revealing how governments respond when Russian intent is difficult to establish. # ⚓ Yle ☛ Finland_completes_construction_of_200km_fencing_along Russia_border⠀⇛ Speaking at a press conference near the Nuijamaa border, in the southeast of Finland, Interior Minister Mari Rantanen (Finns) said there may be a need to extend the fencing areas in the future. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Only_the_beginning?_German_far-right's breakthrough_shakes_Europe_to_its_core_-_The_Debate⠀⇛ Not enough to win outright but enough to shake Germany and Europe to their core: the far-right Alterniv für Deutschland trouncing the ruling conservatives in the impoverished former East German region of Saxony-Anhalt. We’ll ask about the consequences of voting for an anti-immigrant, pro- Russian party that wants schools to teach less about the ills of Hitler and more the glory of Bismarck. # ⚓ Hindustan Times ☛ US_sinks_an_Ecuadorian_ship_in_the Pacific_it_alleges_is_tied_to_drug_trafficking⠀⇛ The sunken vessel, whose name has not been released, was the fifth targeted by U.S. forces in less than two weeks. # ⚓ India Times ☛ China_humanoid_robots_military:_From_dance floor_to_war:_China_readies_humanoid_robots_for_combat⠀⇛ Two days after the Games ended, the People's Liberation Army's official newspaper drew its own conclusions from the show. The PLA Daily called for researchers to accelerate the transfer of cutting- edge technologies from laboratories to military training grounds for robotic "combatants." # ⚓ Salon ☛ Putin_is_testing_Europe._How_far_will_he_go_before war?⠀⇛ At the moment, we’re in the middle of an international shadowplay, an arena where Putin excels. Nobody really believes he wants to start a new war in Europe, especially considering how his first one has gone. But plenty of people will tell you he’s already started one. If that seems like an impossible contradiction, welcome to the mid-2020s, where reality seems increasingly like dystopian science fiction mixed with an especially opaque John le Carré spy thriller. # ⚓ Paul Krugman ☛ Neo-Nazis_and_the_Impotence_of Trumponomics⠀⇛ In the days and weeks ahead there will be many analyses of the results and its implications from people who, unlike me, know something about German politics. For now, let me do something more parochial, and write about what the Sachsen-Anhalt election might teach us about U.S. political economy. # ⚓ Los Angeles Times ☛ U.S._running_low_on_advanced_defensive missiles_and_could_be_for_years⠀⇛ The statistics are sobering — so sobering that Defense Department officials refuse to confirm, deny or discuss them. From Feb. 28 through July, the first five months of the war with Iran, U.S. forces burned through almost 60% of the nation’s advanced defensive missiles — the Patriot and THAAD interceptors that protect American troops. # ⚓ Sweden ☛ Sweden_to_buy_US_artillery_rocket_system_and_enter Sweden-Finland_cooperation_on_rocket_artillery⠀⇛ The Government is authorising the Swedish Armed Forces to procure the US High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS). In a separate announcement, Sweden’s Minister for Defence Pål Jonson and Finland’s Minister of Defence Antti Häkkänen have signed a Joint Declaration regarding cooperation on the countries’ rocket artillery systems. # ⚓ Yle ☛ "Russia's_imperial_ambitions_will_not_end_with Ukraine,"_Finnish_defence_minister_says⠀⇛ Häkkänen made the remarks during his opening address at the 257th National Defence Course, which brings together leaders from government, the media and academia to discuss national security issues. "Russia's imperial ambitions will not end with Ukraine," Häkkänen said. He added that Moscow is seeking to restore at least the spheres of influence it had during the Soviet era. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ International Campaign for Tibet ☛ ICT_calls_for_timely, independent_information_and_access_to_Tibet_on_humanitarian grounds_after_Nepal-Tibet_disaster⠀⇛ In the wake of the catastrophic floods and mudslides along the Nepal-Tibet border on August 26, the International Campaign for Tibet has called for the immediate release of complete, timely and independently verifiable information on casualties, missing people and conditions in Kyirong (Chinese: Jilong; also referred to as Gyirong) County in Shigatse, Tibet, together with meaningful access for independent journalists and observers. These measures are urgently required on humanitarian grounds: to help families determine the fate and whereabouts of missing relatives, identify affected communities and unmet needs, and support an effective rescue and relief operation. ICT is also calling for unhindered access for international humanitarian organizations and for governments worldwide to press Beijing to provide information and access commensurate with the scale of the disaster. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ The Tyee ☛ The_Making_of_an_AI_Data_Centre_Warrior_|_The Tyee⠀⇛ The first thing that Bek MacIntosh, a 42-year-old business owner and mother of three, wants Albertans to know is this: it is possible for a community to stop a $10-billion hyperscale data centre dead in its tracks. The free Fringe Patio on Granville Island will feature all-ages live music co-presented with Coastal Jazz over the Labour Day Weekend. Even when the local and provincial governments have different plans. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ RTL ☛ Drought_to_ensue:_Panama_Canal_considering_more cuts_in_transits_due_to_El_Nino⠀⇛ In 2023, El Nino forced a reduction in daily transits from 38 to 22 due to the dramatic reduction in reservoir levels. # ⚓ Bhaskar English ☛ Sergey_Brin_Superyacht_Dragonfly Refueling_Cost_&_Features_|_Spain⠀⇛ At 466 feet long, the yacht is too large for ordinary private yacht marinas. That is why it had to use a Spanish Navy cruise berth for refueling. # ⚓ Jeff Kaufman ☛ Bidirectional_Charging_During_Grid Outages⠀⇛ David asked a great question on my solar battery system post: why buy a small battery just for emergencies when electric cars have a large battery you can also use for other things? [1] This would be great, and seems like the obvious way for it to work: when the grid goes down the panels can charge the car when it's sunny, and the car can power the house when it's not. Unfortunately as far as I can tell the only way I could do this today is with a Cybertruck, and other systems are a long way off. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ 2026-09-01_[Older]_Social Security_September_2026_Payment_Dates:_Here's_Exactly_When Your_Money_Will_Arrive⠀⇛ # ⚓ Pivot to AI ☛ AI_data_centre_finance:_building_a_bigger_and bigger_bomb⠀⇛ The general public hate data centres. Politicians from both US parties have worked out they need to say no to data centres if they want to get reelected in the midterm elections in November. If a data centre falls to local activism, how does the lender get their money back? This is not always clear! Lenders try to protect against the risks with insurance. But the insurers think the projects are too risky as well. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ Donald_Trump_Took_a_Wrecking_Ball_to_the White_House⠀⇛ The East Wing was destroyed without civic debate or congressional approval – and is now in the process of being replaced by a 90,000 square foot luxury ballroom that is double the size of the current White House complex. That is an insult to the rule of law, to American history, and to every US citizen — because the White House ultimately belongs to us, not its current temporary occupant. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ How_the_Government_Wastes_Our_Time⠀⇛ Americans are bogged down in paperwork for reasons that are sometimes necessary, sometimes thoughtless—and, at times, nefarious. In her new book, The Time Tax: How the Government Wastes Our Time—And How to Fix It, my colleague Annie Lowrey looks at all those hours spent looking for tax documents or trying to certify income for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or the FAFSA and finds that things don’t have to be this way. # ⚓ Jérôme Marin ☛ Why_Nvidia_is_buying_Hugging_Face⠀⇛ Hugging Face now plays a central role in open- source AI, giving developers access to models for text and image generation, transcription, and visual recognition. Over the years, the platform has expanded considerably. It now offers paid services with a wide range of tools for testing, adapting, and deploying models. The company claims to have more than 200,000 corporate customers. According to The Information, Hugging Face crossed the $150 million annualized revenue mark in August, up 50% in just two months. # ⚓ The Onion ☛ The_Onion’s_Exclusive_Interview_With_Larry Ellison_-_The_Onion⠀⇛ Larry Ellison is the co-founder and executive chairman of Oracle, as well as the largest shareholder of the Paramount Skydance Corporation. The Onion sat down with the billionaire to discuss his ventures. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ CPJ ☛ Somaliland_journalist_detained_without_charge_after interviewing_poet⠀⇛ Ismail was arrested the following day by Hargeisa security forces and Abdiqani was detained on August 29 when he responded to a summons to the Criminal Investigation Department’s (CID) headquarters, according to the journalist’s lawyer, Tawakal Ibrahim Mohamed, and the local press rights group Somaliland Journalists Association (SOLJA). o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ TV_peace_journalism:_Journalists_and_academics gathered_for_Bianet's_report_launch⠀⇛ During her section, Haydari discussed her research findings regarding how the six evaluated television channels framed the Syria agenda from a rights- based peace journalism perspective. Following the presentations, journalists, academics and media workers discussed the research findings. # ⚓ CPJ ☛ CPJ_says_Kazakhstan’s_new_parliament_should_scrap rules_restricting_journalists’_access⠀⇛ In a statement, four local media advocacy and human rights organizations expressed concern over the changes, stressing that it was normal media practice in democracies to allow journalists’ to “quickly approach a deputy after a sitting, ask a clarifying or inconvenient question, and obtain commentary on a hot topic.” o § Civil Rights / Policing / Accessibility⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Eiffel_Tower_employees_strike_after_female staff_removed⠀⇛ The company that operates the Tower, SETE, said that the group had requested a visit as part of which the "interactions with women" would be limited. Emmanuel Gregoire, Paris' Socialist mayor, called the incident "unacceptable." "Equality between women and men will never end at the foot of our historic monuments, nor anywhere else in this city," Gregoire said. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Eiffel_Tower_workers_go_on_strike_after_female staff_'sidelined'_for_Hindu_group's_visit⠀⇛ The Eiffel Tower was forced to close on Monday after staff went on strike to protest the "sidelining" and "replacement" of female employees during a recent visit by a Hindu delegation. The Paris landmark's operator said the group had requested that the private visit be organised in such a way as to limit "interactions with women". # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ The_Charges_Were_Dropped,_but_the_Damage_Was Already_Done⠀⇛ Although those dismissals have been celebrated as victories, the cases have taken a financial and psychological toll on the defendants. For Huerta, the past 15 months have been filled with anxiety. He has endured sleepless nights and grown emotionally distant from his wife of 30 years. The public attention continues to make it more difficult to do his job. And despite his pride in standing for what he believed in, he struggles with the shame of being jailed and appearing in court in shackles—an image he worries that his two sons and niece and nephew (whom he has raised as his own) will never forget. As we spoke inside a coffee shop in his neighborhood of Highland Park one recent afternoon, Huerta’s voice rose in anger and indignation while he recounted and, at times, reenacted the minutes before he was shoved to the ground by a federal officer. He teared up. “The president of the union just got fucking arrested,” he said. “If they can do this to me, imagine what they’re doing to other people.” # ⚓ Hamilton Nolan ☛ Capital_Is_Organizing_the_World_to_Its Advantage_and_Everything_Else_Is_a_Sideshow⠀⇛ “The labor share, which is the percentage of output that accrues to workers in the form of compensation, was 52.8 percent in the second quarter of 2026, the lowest level in the series, which begins in the first quarter of 1947,” the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported this week. Here is a chart from the economist Mike Konczal: [...] # ⚓ Alvaro Montoro ☛ La_Liga's_Web_Accessibility_Table:_How_Do Clubs_Actually_Score?⠀⇛ Web accessibility ensures that every supporter (including those with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive disabilities) can use a website. So how well do these teams' homepages hold up? o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ RPCS3_emulator_can_now_run_PS3_games_on_PC directly_from_a_disc_drive_in_landmark_development_—_unlocks 20_years_of_physical_titles_on_Windows,_Linux,_and_macOS⠀⇛ The developers of the Sony PlayStation 3 emulator RPCS3 have told their social media followers that it is now possible to play games straight from discs. As announced on Twitter/X, the emulator’s latest refinement works only with certain internal and external Blu-ray drives. Happily for retro gamers, there’s a lengthy compatibility list of drives featuring many models and brands, and the same drives are also compatible with dumping your media to fixed storage. o § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Pluralistic:_How_corporate_America_built_a better_Roach_Motel_(07_Sep_2026)⠀⇛ The researchers' hypothesis was that dominant businesses don't maintain their lead by making their customers happy, but by making it harder for those customers to leave. There's good reasons to suspect this. Between 2002 and 2024, the average "customer relationship" (how long a customer continues to purchase from a merchant) has risen from 7.5 years to 11.5 years, a 50% surge in "customer loyalty," far outstripping any measure of customer satisfaction over the same period. This is true across all the largest sectors of the economy: "manufacturing, information, professional services, financial services, and wholesale trade." # § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ [Old] US Right to Know ☛ Bill_Gates'_radical_menu: ultra-processed_foods,_patents,_monocrops⠀⇛ To the techno-food industrialists, hunger and climate disruption are problems to be solved with data and engineering. The core ingredients of their revolutionary plan: genetic engineering — and patenting — of everything from seeds and food animals, to soil microbes, flavors and textures. Local food cultures and traditional diets could fade to the past as food production moves indoors to labs that cultivate fake meat and ultra-processed foods. # ⚓ [Old] New Internationalist ☛ We_must_reclaim_our freedom_from_Monsanto_like_we_did_from_the_British⠀⇛ But the most outrageous phrase is that seeds have a ‘limited shelf life’. True seed is Bija – that which rises again and again and again. Our seeds have evolved for 10,000 years. Living seed does not have a ‘limited shelf’. Otherwise, we would have starved to death as a species centuries ago. Seeds are called heritage and heirloom seeds because they don’t have a limited shelf life like Monsanto’s GMO seeds. Living seed does not become obsolete. It renews. It has the potential to live and evolve forever through dynamic change, including contributions of farmers breeding. And as our three decades of work in Navdanya shows, living seeds have more nutrition, higher overall food output, more resilience to pests and diseases, and to climate change. Monsanto does not just force farmers to buy seed every year to collect royalties, it also owns the patent for the ‘terminator technology’ to create sterile seed. This technology has been stopped from commercialisation by the UN Convention on Biodiversity. # ⚓ [Old] GRAIN ☛ GRAIN_|_Twelve_reasons_for_Africa_to reject_GM_crops⠀⇛ In short, Africa is in danger of becoming the dumping ground for the struggling GM industry and the laboratory for frustrated GM scientists. The proponents of GM technology sell a sweet message of GM crops as the second green revolution and the answer to African hunger, but the reality is quite different. A close look at GM crops and the context under which they are developed makes it clear that GM crops have no place in African agriculture. Here are twelve reasons why: [...] # ⚓ [Old] Celeste Schaefer Bernard ☛ Closed-Sourced Crops⠀⇛ One of my favorite projects for Conservation Magazine. It gave visibility to a less-than- sexy issue (gene patenting) and its impact on biodiversity and global food supply and was beautifully written and reported by one of the best writers working today — Paul Salopek. The idea for this story was mine, but Paul took it several steps beyond the original outline. [...] Monsanto customers “are afraid to speak in public, worried that they will become victims of retaliation,” a DuPont executive complained. DuPont filed an anti-monopoly suit against Monsanto in 2009. (DuPont controls its own third of the country’s seed- corn market.) # ⚓ [Old] Knowledge Platform for Organic Agriculture and Agroecology in Africa ☛ Who_Controls_Our_Seeds?_How Industrial_Farming_Undermines_Food_Sovereignty_in Southern_Africa_-_KCOA⠀⇛ Every planting season, farmers across Malawi and Zambia queue up for government-subsidised seed packets promising higher yields, drought tolerance and pest resistance. The challenge is that these hybrid and genetically modified seeds cannot be saved. After one harvest, farmers must return to the agro-dealer, spend their hard-earned cash, and buy again. This is not an accident. It is a business model that transforms farmers from seed savers into perpetual customers. As the Kusamala Institute of Agriculture and Ecology’s 2023 policy brief states: “Industrial systems encourage uptake of hybrid and genetically modified seeds that are grown as monocrops with harmful chemicals.” The result? A quiet but major shift in power from farmers who once controlled their seeds to corporations that now control their future. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Early_Oasis_Recordings_Being Auctioned_Without_Permission⠀⇛ An archive of over 100 hours of early Oasis recordings and outtakes is up for auction despite objections from the band. Currently, the collection is priced at between £1.2 million and £1.6 million, with the sale due to take place on October 3. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ OpenAI's_ChatGPT_Was_Built_on Concealed_'Mass_Piracy',_Authors_Tell_Court⠀⇛ Book authors have asked a New York federal judge to rule that OpenAI built its AI models on “mass piracy”. Pointing to internal documents, a summary judgment motion alleges the AI giant downloaded books from LibGen, hid the evidence by renaming datasets, and designed its models to supplant human writers. OpenAI filed the mirror-image motion, stressing that its data harvesting qualifies as fair use. # ⚓ Kevin Kelly ☛ The_Technium:_Arguments_in_Favor_of_AI Fair_Use⠀⇛ I made some notes on the nature of the training of LLMs, and about whether we as a society should consider the material used to train them as a fair use of that material. I believe it would be best for us to consider them fair use, and I made some points in its favor. The context of these points is US copyright law, which I did not spell out here. There are other commonly used arguments pro, and many arguments against, which I have also not listed. I wrote these points as a way for me to think aloud along my own lines, and they are not arranged in any order to make a tight case. I welcome constructive comments, or points I may have missed. * Microsoft's_Silent_Layoffs_Are_the_New_Normal_at_Microsoft * Microsoft_Layoffs_in_October_2026 ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 4972 ➮ Generation completed at 02:49, i.e. 9 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
