When companies they say they "pivot to AI" they mean they say they shift to a new excuse (for shareholders) amid commercial difficulties; when they say "AI" they typically mean "same old" but with another_marketing_label. It goes on and on. Consider "super intelligence"; they want us to drop the word "artificial". When they say "agents" they mean bots, when they say "investment" they just mean "borrow money". Until when? It's_in_the_trillions_already. That money will not and cannot be repaid. We're letting people without even college degrees game the "market" (Wall Street) by lying to it. If we criticise them, they will engage in lawsuits, like the_Serial_Strangler_from_Microsoft_did. There's also lawfare_to_try_to_suppress_discussion_of_Restricted_Boot. The last thing the slop pushers (paid by the likes of Microsoft and NVIDIA) want is a serious debate about their elaborate scams, back doors, etc. We need more, not_less, such debates. █ * Intercontinental_Brigading_-_Part_XXV_-_Election_Integrity_at_a_Time_of Back_Doors_and_Very_Severe_Bugs_in_UEFI * IRC's_Growing_Popularity_in_2026 ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⠿⠿⠻⡿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⢿⡿⢿⣿⡟⠿⡿⢿⠿⡿⢿⣿⣿⢻⡿⢿⠻⠿⡿⡿⢿⠿⡿⡿⠿⢿⣿⡿⢿⠿⢿⣿⡿⢿⠿⡿⣿⠿⢿⢻⣿⣿⠻⡿⠿⠻⢿⠿⡿⣿⠏⡿⠿⡿⢿⣟⣿⣿⠟⢿⠿⣿⡿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣮⣼⣼⣬⣿⣼⣼⣧⣵⣨⣬⣬⣧⣽⣿⣧⣥⣦⣼⣤⣧⣼⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⣬⣦⣥⣧⣼⣥⣵⣼⣤⣼⣿⣯⣽⣼⣿⣿⣯⣽⣼⣧⣼⣤⣼⣬⣿⣿⣬⣦⣤⣼⣴⣤⣷⣼⣥⣵⣥⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣽⣥⣧⣼ ⣿⣿⣿⡟⣛⠛⡿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣧⣭⣦⣥⣤⣦⣴⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⣸⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣽⣼⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣽⣭⣭⣿⣾⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣽⣼⣯⣭⣯⣭⣭⣭⣭⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣥⣤⣴⣤⣤⣤⣤⣬⣤⣤⣄⣄⣴⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣤⣤⣄⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣬⣤⣤⣴⣦⣤⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣧⣤⣤⣥⣤⣤⣤⣄⣼⣼⣤⣤⣾⣀⣅⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣬⣧⣤ ⣿⣿⣿⣉⣉⣽⣉⣉⣉⣹⣉⣉⣏⣉⣉⣉⣉⣁⣉⣉⣹⣐⣈⣉⣉⣹⣉⣁⣉⣍⣉⣉⣉⣁⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣹⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣴⣤⣧⣵⣤⣴⣄⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣧⣤⣤⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣤⣴⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣥⣤⣬⣤⣤⣤⣑⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⡿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠸⠿ ⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣶⣶⣷⣾⢶⣶⣶⣶⢷⣶⣶⢶⡶⣶⣶⡶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⢶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⢶⡶⢷⣷⣾⢶⣶⣶⡶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⢶⢷⣶⣶⠶⣶⣾⣷⡶⣾⣶⣶⡶⡾⣶⢰⣶ ⣿⣿⣿⢸⣷⣤⣴⣤⣬⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣦⣴⣤⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣦⣤⣤⣤⣼⣦⣤⣤⣤⣧⣤⣤⣦⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣧⣤⣼⣤⣤⣤⣦⣧⣤⣤⣴⣼⣤⣥⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣽⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⢠⣤ ⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣼⣤⣤⣤⣧⣤⣼⣄⣄⣄⣤⣤⣥⣤⣤⣤⣥⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣤⣦⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣴⣻⣠⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣫⣤⣤⣼⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣻⣤⣦⣤⣤⣤⣼⣤⣤⣤⣅⣧⣤⣤⣤⢠⣤ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣿⠿⣿⡿⣿⢿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣿⣿⢿⣿⠿⠿⣿⡿⡿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⡿ ⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣷⣷⣾⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣿⣶⣶⣶⣦⣶⣶⣶⣵⣶⣶⣷⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣷⣦⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣷⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣦⣾⣴⢰⣞ ⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣤⣦⣤⣼⣤⣼⣾⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣗ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠸⠧ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣾⣶⣶⣮⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣦⣶⣦⣾⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣷⣷⣶⣶⣶⣦⣧⣶⣶⣶⣴⣧⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣤⣶⣷⣶⣶⣴⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣼⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⢰⣶ ⣿⣿⣿⣵⣤⣤⣼⣤⣤⣤⣼⣤⣤⣤⣼⣤⣤⣤⣤⣦⣬⣸⣤⣤⣤⣴⣤⣴⣠⣤⣼⣤⣷⣤⣧⣤⣤⣤⣠⣤⣼⣴⣤⣤⣤⣼⣤⣤⣬⣧⣤⣤⣄⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢸⣟ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠻⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⡿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⡿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣭⣭⠭⠭⡿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠯⠭⢭⣤⣥⢸⣧ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣦⣶⣾⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣦⡶⠒⣷⠖⢲⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣤⣧⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣦⣶⣶⣶⡶⠿⢿⣶⣶⡷⢶⣶⣧⣶⣼⣶⣶⣶⣦⣷⡶⠒⠒⠛⠋⢸⡇ ⣿⣿⣿⠻⠛⠛⢻⠛⠛⠛⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⡛⠛⠛⠓⠚⠓⠒⠚⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠋⠃⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⢀⠛⠙⢛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠃ ⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠻⠲⠲⢶⡖⠶⠖⠶⠶⠶⠶⠲⠶⠲⠾⢻⠿⠻⠿⠖⠻⠷⠾⠾⠾⠾⠚⠟⠿⠗⣶⣷⣿⣿⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣶⣾⣿⣶⣾⣾⣷⣶⣷⣶⣷⣾⣷⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣾⢶⣶ ⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⣷⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⡶⡶⠞⠂⠀⠁⠀⠰⡖⠖⠂⠲⣶⣾⣶⣖⠒⠀⣶⡆⠀⠀⠐⠸⠒⠒⠒⠆⠀⠂⠑⠞⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠨⠟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠛⠀⠹⠁⠠⠻⠛⠚⠛⠃⠀⠅⠟⠎⠕⠹⠳⠀⠀⠈⢸⡟ ⠉⠉⢭⠉⠉⠉⡉⣩⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠉⠁⠀⠀⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠁⠃⠁⠁⠈⠀⠀⠈⠈⠀ ⠀⣀⢉⠀⠈⠈⢉⡉⢁⡁⠁⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⢿⡿⢿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣴⣥⣿⣦⣤⣬⣦⣬⣤⣞⣸⣧⣥⣷⣴⣤⣤⣾⣧⣽⣷⣴⣴⣾⣼⣦⣴⣤⣤⣧⣴⣤⣄⣠⣶⣦⣿⣦⣤⣧⣧⣤⣼⣮⣧⣿⣤⣴⣷⣠⣿⣧⣬⣿⣭⣼⣧⣵⣶⣤⣼⣿⣤⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⡿⣿⣿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⣿⣿⡿⠿⢿⡿⠿⠿⢿⠿⣿⠿⠿⠿⡿⢿⡿⢿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠋⠀⠀⠉⠋⠀⠘⠑⠙⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠃⠀⠀⠂⠋⠘⠈⠋⠀⠙⠘⠀⠛⠁⠁⠈⠁⠘⠃⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣟⠽⠙⢽⡏⣟⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⡻⣻⡟⡿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣷⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⢿⢿⡿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣯⣤⣽⣧⣷⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣠⣢⣺⣇⣯⡅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⡶⡶⣶⣶⠰⠶⢶⢶⣶⣶⣶⢶⣶⣶⡶⠶⠶⠶⣶⣶⣶⡶⣶⣶⣶⠶⠶⠶⢶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⡶⡶⡶⡶⣶⣶⣶⢶⢶⣶⣆⢶⢶⢶⢶⣶⣶⣶⡶⣶⣶⣶⡶⡶⠆⠶⣾⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣤⣄⣼⣥⣮⣿⣼⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣶⣯⣤⣼⣦⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣔⣾⣥⣬⣥⣼⣿⣿⣿⣾⣵⣼⣧⣯⣧⣥⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣥⣿⣴⣽⣴⣼⣿⣿⣿⣧⣼⣤⣼⣧⣯⣥⣦⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 212 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/10/31/Amazon_s_Debt_Skyrockets_by_Almost_100_Billion_Dollars_in_9_Mon.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/10/31/Amazon_s_Debt_Skyrockets_by_Almost_100_Billion_Dollars_in_9_Mon.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Amazon's Debt Skyrockets by Almost 100 Billion Dollars in 9 Months⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 31, 2026, updated Oct 31, 2026 Like Google, which is selling "clown_computing" and slop ("hey hi") and God knows what....

My personal blog sees_a_resurgence and this past week we saw record traffic in Geminispace, with over a million requests across capsules (Techrights exceeding by a factor of 3-4 the sister site, tuxmachines.org; it used to be an order of magnitude apart). As we said some weeks ago, we expect November to be mostly uneventful, leaving us with a lot more time indoors, researching and writing. It's a team effort and our team grows as a function of attempts to censor us. LLM slop is not "competition" to us. (news.)tuxmachines.org is getting better at 1) culling slopfarms (even the "famous" ones like linuxiac.com) 2) clustering related stories. Linus Torvalds has taken note. He reads that site. As for Techrights, when your site has a decent search facility that people can use and can trust (and does not spew out unreliable slop), then you have no "competition" in results, as all results are local. We plan to deploy something similar for (news.)tuxmachines.org after our 20th anniversary. These are big projects. By not relying on GAFAM, we'll assure we're in better control of our destiny. No "optimising for Google" or any of that other nonsense. See this new_report entitled_"Google_may_buy_publishers_time_they_should_use_it_to_loosen_tech giants_grip_on_them. It says "Google will likely remain an important source of traffic for years - what publishers should do in the meantime." They spent a lot of resources on "SEO" and/or outsourcing themselves to social control media.

The result, the end result, is inevitable. See what happened to FTX, the pyramid_scheme_led_by_the_wife_of_Jim_Zemlin_(securities_fraud), and now Binance.

Issue_and_American_Elections_Are_at_Risk_From_Restricted_('Secure') Boot_and_LLM_Chatbots_(Disinformation_at_Scale) There are more and more open clues that next week's election outcome - the midterms in the US - will be followed by tantrums and annulment attempts. Wait and watch how the results in the US will be challenged, either wholly (entirely, nationally) or piecewise (locally). Two approaches, which aren't novel, can be 1) discrediting the outcome (saying "Russian hack" or "Democrats"); 2) stealthily tampering by technical means. (1) is connected to (2). The problem goes away if "Traditional Methods" are adhered to. Expect a bit of both. Like noted in the last part, the_FSF_has_a_clear_stance on_this, which is consistent with its past position/s. Many NGOs rightly condemn electronic ballots, irrespective of the known security flaws. Elections have long worked just fine with pen and paper (or pencil and paper). But it has been getting a lot worse in recent years because we_know_that Microsoft_attacks_judges_(overseas)_on_behalf_of_the_American_dictator and even if they don't use Microsoft or Windows or Office/Microsoft 360, "thanks" to Matthew Garrett right now Microsoft also remotely controls GNU/Linux laptops, desktops, servers etc. This month we know of severe holes connected to what Matthew Garrett has promoted for almost 15 years while trying to silence critics. This inescapable problem cannot be overlooked and it's far from being addressed. As our weekend parts are short (by intent=ion), we'll leave the more technical parts aside for later in this series. Expect likely chaotic rants (if not violence) to ensue after Tuesday, as the dictator will find something to get angry about. He always controls and he already has access to (via Microsoft, "thanks" to Matthew Garrett) all the GNU/ Linux servers and other machines that don't have Microsoft software on them. We're going to discuss some of the technical means facilitated by Matthew Garrett for this 'turnkey tyranny', as this was covered in the past. I assembled many links about this in the past, especially in Daily Links or in Tux Machines. Bullies_like_to_censor_their_critics_by_lawfare,_even_in_foreign_continents.

Schestowitz on Oct 31, 2026, updated Oct 31, 2026 For several consecutive weeks/months we've seen measurable increases The number of IRC networks indexed by (or known to) netsplit.de has grown to 533. I think this is the highest it has been for years. It's not because netsplit.de (Andreas Gelhausen) rushed to add many small networks. Many that I know about are still not listed (perhaps they don't meet size thresholds). It seems like some tech-literate people come to appreciate 1) IRC and 2) the value of managing independent networks, not joining very large ones that engage in censorship. From earlier this month: 1. Libera_Chat_is_Corporate 2. Libera_Chat_Tolerates_People_Who_Say_“Gas_the_Jews”_and_Want_to_Stab Colleagues 3. When_Will_Libera_Chat_Ban_GAFAM_and_GAFAM-Funded_Projects? 4. libera.chat_is_an_Agenda-Peddling_Platform_Run_by_Agenda-Peddling Individuals 5. Libera_Chat's_"Level_of_Control_Might_Make_Sense_for_a_Corporate Platform" 6. Tracker_of_Internet_Relay_Chat_Networks_Out_of_Service_(But_Not_Down) Since_Thursday 7. Self-Hosting_Lessons_From_Libera_Chat We hope that IRC will experience some sort of renaissance without having to depend on some sort of "marketing campaign". No company controls or profits from IRC, it is in the Commons. █ * "AI"_as_Surrogate_for_Debt_and_Distraction_From_Computing_(Bots_Described as_"Agents"_and/or_Any_Form_of_"Intelligence"_is_More_Like_a_Religion) * Can't_Trust_Big_Banks,_Let's_Try_'Bros'_Instead? ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1438 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/10/31/Many_People_Left_Red_Hat_This_Month_Including_Yesterday.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/10/31/Many_People_Left_Red_Hat_This_Month_Including_Yesterday.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Many People "Left" Red Hat This Month, Including Yesterday⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 31, 2026, updated Oct 31, 2026 Last month: Red_Hat_Lost_2,000_Staff_(Net_Loss) Recent hours: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇After five years at Red Hat, today is my last day⦈ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗯𝘆𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗮 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿.

Some considerable proportion got absorbed into IBM (bluewashing) on the first of October (they were told ?this_past_summer that this would happen), but many at Red Hat left altogether. Red Hat is shrinking. IBM has turned Red Hat into some sort of "hey hi company", as it doesn't comprehend what Red Hat does with GNU, Linux, and so on. Looking over the horizon, it's hard to rule out IBM offloading some of the things purchased along with Red Hat. We already saw this with SUSE.

Talk About That)⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 31, 2026, updated Oct 31, 2026 The general tone of comments about Microsoft, even by insiders, has gotten really negative lately. We see this in thelayoff.com and also in other sites, such as this_one. From recent hours: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Has the popularity to join Microsoft gone down across the world ??⦈ Microsoft's so-called 'results' are a tall pile of bluff and insiders say that there are many cuts at Microsoft this month and this year, even cuts and restrictions on food for staff. Even some bare basics. It's quite revealing that there are budgetary issues, the layoffs aside (not a sufficient cost reduction measure). Microsoft executives are paranoid about shareholders finding out about it. (some of them are passive_participants). That_can_help_explain_some_blunders. It is in many ways like IBM a decade ago. █ * In_US_Government_Sites,_GNU/Linux_Measured_at_New_All-Time_High_of_7%_(or About_10%_Across_Desktops/Laptops_Alone) * Gemini_Links_31/10/2026:_MangoWM,_Qutebrowser_and_Codeberg,_Plugh ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠉⣿⣿⠻⠿⠿⠿⢿⢿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⣿⡿⢿⠛⢿⣿⡟⠿⠟⠿⣿⣿⠻⠟⠿⠿⣿⣿⠻⠿⣿⣿⠻⠟⠿⠿⠿⠿⡿⣿⣿⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉ ⠿⠿⠿⣿⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⡁⠉⣙⡧⠤⠼⠦⢤⠦⢤⢿⠷⢷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣤⣴⣧⣤⣤⣥⣤⣤⣧⣼⣦⣄⣧⣦⣤⣧⣤⣤⣶⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣥⣤⣴⣼⣤⣧⣼⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣥⣤⣤⣿⣥⣤⣵⣧⣤⣧⣮⣧⣤⣧⣤⣤⣤⣴⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣶⣴⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⠋⠉⠉⢻⠋⠉⠉⢻⠋⠉⠉⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠿⠷⠶⠶⠿⠷⠶⠶⠿⠷⠶⠶⠾⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿ ⠀⠀⠀⣶⡶⠶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⢈⡧⠤⠼⠤⡤⣤⣼⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡋⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣶⣦⣥⣼⣭⣬⣼⣤⣼⣤⣭⣶⣅⣧⣬⣼⣦⣾⣥⣥⣦⣬⣤⣼⣤⣤⣤⣼⣬⣬⣧⣴⣭⣦⣬⣼⣥⣡⣵⣬⣭⣦⣥⣤⣮⣥⣴⣭⣦⣣⣧⣤⣼⣤⣤⣭⣶⣤⣧⣥⣤⣶⣼⣬⣠⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⠬⠥⠥⢬⠭⠨⠽⠬⡍⣬⠽⢽⣥⡯⣭⠭⣬⣏⢥⡏⡧⣭⡍⡼⠿⣬⢬⣼⣽⣭⣥⣥⣯⣥⣽⣭⣿⣭⣬⣭⣽⣧⣭⣽⣭⣬⣯⣿⣭⣭⣬⣭⣬⣤⣯⣭⣽⣥⣭⣭⣽⣭⣡⣭⣽⣭⣨⣭⣯⣤⣭⣽⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣶⣶⣷⣾⣶⣾⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣿⣶⣶⣾⣷⣾⣶⣾⣷⣶⣿⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⡁⠀⠀⢹⠁⠀⠀⢹⠁⠀⠀⢈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡯⢽⣿⣛⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿ ⠀⠀⠀⣾⡿⠿⢿⣿⠿⠿⢿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⡀⠀⢀⡗⠒⡒⠒⠚⠚⣿⠛⠻⠛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣆⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⡿⠾⡿⢿⢿⢿⡿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⡿⠿⢿⢿⠿⡿⡿⠿⢿⢿⠿⡿⡿⢿⠿⢿⢿⡿⠿⣿⠿⠿⣿⠿⠿⢿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⡷⣶⣷⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⡷⣼⣶⣦⣶⣿⣶⣶⣶⢶⡶⣿⣤⢶⢶⣷⣶⣾⢿⣶⣾⣶⣶⠷⣶⣷⢶⣶⡾⣾⣿⢿⣿⢿⢿⣿⣿⠿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⡿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣶⡶⣷⣾⡗⠿⠶⠷⠰⡶⡒⠶⢷⠶⠷⢷⣿⠶⠻⠿⠶⡾⣾⠶⠶⢒⠺⠶⠞⠶⢲⠗⠶⡶⠕⠚⠷⠲⠢⢴⣶⠶⠶⢶⢶⢶⡶⢶⠶⠶⠖⡤⡶⣶⣶⠿⡷⢾⣶⡖⠾⣷⠶⠶⣶⣶⣿⣾⣶⣶⣷⣶⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⡿⠾⠿⣿⡿⠿⠿⣿⡷⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⣿⣀⠀⢀⣸⣀⠀⢀⣸⣀⠀⠀⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣺⣿⣭⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1656 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/10/31/Over_at_Tux_Machines.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/10/31/Over_at_Tux_Machines.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Over at Tux Machines...⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 31, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Modern Architecture⦈ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Modern_Architecture⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ ⚓ Updates:⠀⇛ 1.

Slavery at Microsoft⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 31, 2026 Recent hours (illegal if true): 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Dude - here in Redmond even your job security comes with a 30day free trial. So, chill.⦈ This past week there were lots of headlines about Microsoft layoffs (except they try to avoid using the term "layoffs"). HBR suggests these_tricks_are hardly_new_or_unprecedented and in XBox they_use_words_like_"reset". Judging by these comments, Microsoft_is_nowadays_using_'free_trials'_to_experiment_with people_it_hires. It seems exploitative. This_new_message_speaks_of_the_fate_of H1B_visa_holders: "if you're on H1B, you need to take this even more seriously, you don't just risk losing your paycheck, you risk uprooting your entire family or whoever depends on u: your kids, your home, your immigration status, everything can be affected. i'd say put 10x the effort into networking, saving money, and preparing backup options. don't assume your co will protect you. the biggest mistake is thinking you'll deal with all this when it happens. by then you're already behind. the job market is changing FAST, and being loyal to one company isn't a career startegy anymore. Build your options now!!! even if your job feels completely secure. not trying to scare anyone, just sharing some practial advice. the uncertaintity in tech isn't going away anytime soon and being prepared is a lot better than scrambling after getting that unexpected meeting invite." Just to be clear, when Microsoft_pays_workers_in_"stock"_alarm_bells_should_be ringing. It's_rigging_the_market. The main difference between Google and Microsoft right now (or Intel or Amazon - same issue) is that Microsoft isn't admitting that slop hype is losing it money or costing far too much. Google, Intel and Amazon sank because they were more honest than Microsoft, including_about_the_debt. █ * Many_People_"Left"_Red_Hat_This_Month,_Including_Yesterday * Google_Illegally_Destroyed_a_Quarter_Million_Trees_Without_a_Permit_for_a Hypothetical_Project_That_Might_be_Cancelled,_Debt_Has_Soared_by_30 Billion_Dollars_in_3_Months_($10_Billions_Borrowed_Per_Month) ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣯⡏⣯⢘⡻⡛⡻⠛⢛⠛⡟⣓⣿⡟⣛⠛⠻⢛⢫⡛⢻⢛⡛⣓⣟⡟⣛⠻⢛⢹⣿⡙⡟⢹⢹⢛⣻⢛⡛⡛⠟⠛⢟⡛⡃⡊⣻⣿⢩⣯⡟⡛⡟⣛⢛⡛⣿⣿⢸⡛⢛⢻⠻⣛⢛⢐⢑⠚⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣥⣿⣬⣥⣥⣷⣬⣥⣥⣥⣭⣽⣧⣽⣮⣽⡠⢌⣬⣼⣼⣧⣭⣭⣥⣭⣜⠤⣹⣯⣵⣼⣬⣬⣮⣽⣬⣧⣥⣦⣥⣮⣵⣧⣷⣭⣿⣮⣭⣧⣥⣧⣽⠨⣵⣽⣿⣬⣬⣼⢦⣷⣭⣮⣼⣬⣬⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⡍⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⡭⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣏⢰⣙⣿⡇⣿⠻⡟⣿⠿⡟⡟⣿⠿⡟⣿⡿⢻⣿⢻⢻⠻⡿⢿⢿⡿⠿⡿⢻⢻⡟⣿⢿⣿⢻⡟⠻⢻⢿⢿⣿⡟⢿⢻⡿⡿⢿⡟⢿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠿⢿⡿⠻⠻⡿⢿⣿⣿⠿⢿⢻⣿⡇⣟⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠶⣿⣿⡇⣿⣾⣷⣾⣶⣷⣷⣿⣮⣊⣷⣷⣾⣿⣷⣿⣶⣷⣾⣾⣿⣶⣷⣾⣾⣷⣿⣾⣷⣿⣿⣷⣿⣶⣶⣾⣷⣷⣾⣷⣷⣾⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣾⣷⣷⣷⣷⣾⣿⣿⣾⣾⣾⣿⣧⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠮⣿⣿⡇⣿⢋⠏⡟⢻⣿⢻⣿⡏⡿⠛⡻⡛⡟⢹⡟⢫⢫⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣏⠼⢉⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣵⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣻⣿⡿⢿⠻⠿⠟⠿⠿⢟⡟⢿⡿⢿⢿⠟⡿⣿⡿⠿⠿⡿⠿⠻⠿⠟⡟⠟⠻⠿⠿⠿⠟⣻⣿⣿⠻⠿⠻⠿⠿⢻⣻⡿⡿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠿⠻⢿⡿⠿⡿⠿⠻⠿⢿⠿⣿⡿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⢶⢶⣷⡶⣶⣶⣶⢶⣶⣶⣷⣶⡷⣶⢶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣾⡾⣷⣶⢶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⡶⢶⣷⡶⣾⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⢷⣶⣶⢾⣶⣷⣶⣶⣦⣷⣾⣶⣷⣶⣦⣼⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣮⣵⣵⣤⣤⣥⣤⣼⣤⣦⣠⣤⣤⣽⣤⣦⣧⣤⣦⣤⣤⣲⣧⣄⣠⣤⣬⣭⣭⣢⣯⣬⣥⣴⣧⣤⣭⣤⣼⣶⣯⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⠿⠿⡿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣴⣦⣤⣼⣤⣤⣴⣦⣴⣤⣤⣼⣤⣮⣬⣶⣦⣤⣆⣧⣤⣄⣴⣬⣦⣧⣴⣤⣤⣤⣦⣤⣦⣤⣤⣤⣼⣴⣦⣾⣴⣴⣀⣤⣶⣄⣦⣤⣤⣤⣴⣴⣦⣼⣬⣦⣦⣤⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣉⢍⣉⣀⡙⣇⣮⣽⣉⣉⣉⣍⣩⠉⣏⣩⣏⣉⣍⣍⣈⣉⣅⣉⣉⣩⣏⣉⣉⣫⣭⣏⣉⢩⡯⣩⣉⣈⣈⣉⣹⣉⣉⣆⢍⣇⣙⣇⣹⣁⣝⣍⣭⣏⣹⣍⣉⣀⣉⣁⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⠋⡛⠛⠛⢛⡟⠋⡏⠛⠛⡛⢻⠙⠛⣻⢛⢋⡝⢛⠛⢛⠋⢛⡟⢋⢛⢛⡟⠋⠛⠙⠛⣻⠛⢛⠛⠛⢻⢹⠛⠛⡛⡛⡛⣛⠙⠙⠛⣻⠋⠋⢫⣹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⠻⣛⠛⡛⠛⣻⠛⣻⠛⡻⡛⢛⠛⡛⣛⡟⠛⠛⣻⣛⡛⠛⢛⣛⣻⣛⢛⡻⣟⢟⠛⣻⡻⣛⠛⣟⢛⡛⡛⡟⢛⢛⣟⢛⡛⢟⠻⣟⢻⠛⠛⢛⣛⣛⢟⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⠿⠿⠾⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣶⣵⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣨⣿⣉⣹⣹⣉⣈⣉⣩⣿⣇⣀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣶⡶⡶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⣤⣴⣥⣤⣤⣤⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⡟⣿⡿⢿⠿⡿⠿⡏⠟⡿⢿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣏⣚⣿⣃⣧⣒⡇⣣⣇⣃⣔⣺⣂⣿⡸⣀⣂⣜⣄⣸⣻⣇⣆⣢⣳⣐⣓⣸⣻⣗⣺⣐⣻⣘⣐⡅⡪⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡟⢭⠙⣿⡇⣿⡿⠿⢿⠿⠿⠟⠿⢟⠿⢿⠟⠿⢿⠛⠿⠿⡿⠿⡿⡿⠿⡿⠿⠿⡿⠟⠟⡿⠟⢻⠿⠿⠻⠿⢿⠟⠿⠿⠟⠟⠿⠿⠿⠿⠻⠿⠿⠿⠻⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⡟⢛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⡬⣿⣿⡇⣿⣴⣷⣾⣶⣶⣼⣷⣾⣷⣿⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣷⣾⣶⣷⣾⣧⣴⣶⣷⣾⣶⣷⣶⣾⣷⣷⣿⣾⣾⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣷⣼⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣷⣾⣷⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣬⣿⣿⡇⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡟⢰⢛⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⠿⠿⠶⠿⠿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣟⣭⣭⣭⣯⣭⡍⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⣭⡭⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣏⢰⣟⣿⡇⣿⡛⠿⠟⠿⠿⡿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⠛⠿⠟⠿⠿⠿⢟⡿⠿⠿⢿⡿⠿⠿⠿⡟⡟⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⡿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⠿⣿⣻⡿⢿⠻⡻⡿⠿⢿⠻⠿⠿⣿⠟⡿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣟⣛⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠶⣿⣿⡇⣿⢶⣶⣶⡶⡿⢷⣶⣾⣶⣷⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣷⣶⣯⣷⣶⣶⣧⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣶⣶⣾⣶⣶⣶⣷⣾⣾⣶⣶⣮⣿⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⣶⣾⣿⣿⣧⣭⣭⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⠮⣿⣿⡇⣿⣤⣬⣧⣤⣬⣬⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣏⠼⢉⣿⡇⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢫⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⡿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣾⣷⣾⣶⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2084 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/10/31/The_Judge_Accepted_That_Mrs_Schestowitz_Had_Been_the_Subject_of.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/10/31/The_Judge_Accepted_That_Mrs_Schestowitz_Had_Been_the_Subject_of.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ "The Judge Accepted That Mrs Schestowitz Had Been the Subject of a Vicious Campaign of Online Harassment"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 31, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Garrett, Graveley and Lozza⦈ Exactly one year ago (October 31st) it was the last day of the trial. It had started a_day_earlier. Quoting a legal site that talked about Garrett and Graveley (Microsoft): "The Judge accepted that Mrs Schestowitz had been the subject of a vicious campaign of online harassment" (in 2023 onwards). The judge told us the case was a waste of the court's money and did, in her judgement, acknowledge what we had shown regarding Hate Crimes (it was probably Lozza, who Garrett continues to talk to as recently as two months ago). Garrett knows my wife suffered this abuse, but he_tries_to_still_put_her_in prison despite what_the_judge_said. We also receive death_threats_(sent_as recently_as_this_year). That's consistent with how they men treat women. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇We_need_people_to_sponsor_our_lawfare⦈_ * Gemini_Links_31/10/2026:_Hallowe'en_and_"Thinking_About_People" * Intercontinental_Brigading_-_Part_XXV_-_Election_Integrity_at_a_Time_of Back_Doors_and_Very_Severe_Bugs_in_UEFI ⣿⠟⠛⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⣻⣟⣿⣿⠻⠛⠛⠛⠛⢛⣻⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣣⣶⣿⣿⣶⣤⣤⣤⣶⣶⣿⣷⣆⠁⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡃⠀⠀⢼⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⣴⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⡤⣤⠀⣠⡤⢤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣼⣿⡟⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣭⣭⣉⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⢛⡛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠁⠉⢸⣏⠰⣶⠀⣹⢽⣧⠸⣯⡃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⡿⠟⣟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣝⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠉⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣯⣯⣤⣝⣿⣿⣿⣿⣫⣉⣻⣻⣿⣯⡿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠓⠛⠀⠛⠚⠛⠘⠚⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢿⡿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣠⠀⢰⡆⡀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⣡⣀⣀⠸⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢳⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠈⣿⠉⢸⡏⢹⡇⣾⠯⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⣠⣽⣿⣿⣯⣿⡂⠩⣿⣿⠁⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠙⠛⠘⠃⠘⠃⠘⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣙⢷⢾⣿⣷⣉⣘⣙⣻⡿⠀⠛⢀⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠲⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠄⠀⢠⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣶⠀⢀⣀⠀⡀⠀⡀⠀⡀⢀⣀⠀⣶⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣟⣛⠉⢀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⣿⢰⡿⠽⠇⢿⣸⢻⣸⠇⠻⢭⡁⠉⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣏⣻⡇⣀⡿⠀⠙⠛⠃⠘⠛⠈⠛⠀⠛⠛⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢿⡿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡿⢛⠛⣻⣯⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⠀⣴⢋⣙⢠⣶⡄⣶⠶⣶⠶⣴⣶⡤⡷⢶⡷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⡀⣯⠉⣿⢰⡾⢒⡂⣷⠸⢡⡏⢐⣈⡇⢸⢐⣂⣱⠸⢡⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢰⡆⢀⡤⡄⢤⡄⢤⠄⣤⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿ ⣿⣄⣘⣒⣛⣘⣒⣃⣛⣀⣛⣀⣛⣒⣀⣓⣊⣓⣂⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸⣿⣷⣶⣶⣿⣾⣿⣶⣶⣿⣷⣾⣿⣶⣶⣷⣾⣷⣶⣿⣃⣾⣿⣟⣛⣻⣿⣟⣃⣘⣓⣊⣓⣃⣛⣒⣛⣊⣓⣃⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣠⣾⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⣛⣿⠟⠻⢿⠛⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⢻⡇⢹⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⢠⢄⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣣⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣦⠀⡄⣿⣿⣿⡿⠂⣀⡴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⡀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⡟⢀⣀⣠⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠏⡾⣿⢿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⡇⠇⣿⣿⣿⡇⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⢿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⢃⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⡀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡯⣤⣄⡠⢧⢫⠟⢡⣿⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠉⠉⠀⠀⣰⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⡷⠈⢀⣌⠿⠸⢓⢛⣥⣶⢰⣶⠀⢸⠟⢉⡉⠙⠛⢿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠿⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢣⡁⠀⠀⠈⠉⢉⡋⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⡄⡀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣋⣀⣴⣿⣿⣿⢸⣶⢸⣿⣿⢸⡟⡆⣼⣶⣁⣄⣀⣀⣼⣿⣇⠀⠀⢀⠀⣀⢀⠿⣿⣯⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠹⣷⣤⣤⣄⣹⡏⣹⣶⣶⣾⣧⣾⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⢸⣿⢸⣿⣿⣸⣿⠃⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠆⣆⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢛⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣯⡍⢿⣿⠿⠟⠁⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠏⠀⡀⠀⣿⣿⡿⠿⢻⠁⠀⢸⣿⡞⣿⣿⡇⣿⡇⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠛⠿⠛⢻⣿⣿⣿⡏⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣴⣿⠻⠟⠋⠁⠘⠛⠁⠀⢠⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⢇⣤⣾⣿⣷⠀⢸⡄⠀⢸⣿⡇⣿⡿⠇⣿⡇⠸⠿⣿⠟⠋⠁⢀⣀⠀⠘⠻⣿⣿⠃⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣯⠠⠬⠑⠂⠀⠀⠀⣶⠀⠀⠸⠿⠷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠀⠈⠋⠉⠉⢹⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠋⠀⠠⠶⠖⠲⠦⠄⠀⠹⠉⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⣷⣼⢷⣶⣦⡌⠛⢛⡆⠀⠸⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⡀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠈⣀⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠃⡛⢟⣿⣿⣟⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢻⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⢀⡇⠀⠀⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠇⠀⣇⠀⢠⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⣷⡄⠀⠼⠏⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⢠⡄⠀⠨⠼⠿⠾⠿⠿⢿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⢿⣦⣤⣤⣼⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢻⠀⠠⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣧⣤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⣿⣿⣶⡲⡖⠶⣶⣶⣶⣾ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢩⢹⠉⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡆⢸⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⠧⣂⣀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣤⣭⣝⣻ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠋⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢨⣼⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⢠⣶⠀⣇⢸⡀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣴⢠⣬⣬⣷⣾⣿⣷⣶⣆⢶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿ ⣇⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣻⣿⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣻⣞⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣸ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2169 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://techrights.org/n/2026/10/31/The_Munich_FUD_Tactics_Microsoft_Modus_Operandi_Microsoft_Conne.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/n/2026/10/31/The_Munich_FUD_Tactics_Microsoft_Modus_Operandi_Microsoft_Conne.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ The Munich FUD Tactics (Microsoft Modus Operandi): Microsoft-Connected Sites Claim Denmark Failed With Free Software, But That's Not What Actually Happened⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 31, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Christiansborg_Palace,_the_location_of_the_Folketing_chamber since_1849;_Alf_van_Beem,_CC0,_via_Wikimedia_Commons⦈_ Microsoft must be rather terrified or at least upset (to the point of telling 60,000 workers to leave!) to see that parts of Europe, like a set of domino bricks, abandon Microsoft completely. In Denmark, some_quick_Web_stats show modest_usage_of_GNU/Linux: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTTP requests by OS time series for Denmark⦈ Some days ago we saw 3 sites, 2 of which connected to Microsoft, saying Denmark had dumped Free software or a plan to migrate away from Microsoft. Upon a closer inspection though, as Hall_points_out, what actually happened was political, not technical. Shades of Munich, right? Quoting Hall: "According to a statement published by Collabora on Wednesday, the first stage was successfully completed. The office suite was integrated with F2, and users in the test could freely switch between Collabora Office and Microsoft Office from the same government platform and while using Microsoft- compatible document formats. After that, on June 19, a second phase followed in which something like 38 ministry employees began testing Collabora. As might be expected, those tests resulted in some reported compatibility issues, including issues with document styles, paragraph formatting, blank pages, and tracked changes, which were documented without going through a complete evaluation. The evaluation didn’t take place because a workshop planned for October, 2025 never materialized (although it’s been reported that government employees continued to use Collabora well into the following year)." What happened? Politics. To quote: "That big shakeup was the reorganization of Denmark’s government, necessitated by an election in March that resulted in a fragmented parliament. After the election, Social Democrat Mette Frederiksen remained prime minister for a third term as her party was the largest vote- getter, but its 21.9% share of the vote made it the party’s weakest outing since 1903. It also forced Frederiksen to negotiate to form a new governing coalition, which was no easy task with 12 parties in the fray." With Microsoft, it almost always boils down to politics. █ * Links_31/10/2026:_John_Romero_Comeback_After_Being_Shafted_by_Microsoft, Google_Faces_Criminal_Probe_Over_Deforestation_in_Finland *

That tends to be the real reason intolerant_zealots_try_to_crucify_him, based_upon_lies about his_positions_on_various_issues. Dr. Stallman is the sort of person ever-so- willing to pay the price for his freedom of speech. He currently complains about intimidation_of_voters_at_polls and we're running a series which talks about how voters are besieged by LLM slop and back doors in voting machines. As long as you 1) talk about politics and 2) many people read what you say about politics... there will be efforts to deplatform, cancel, slander the messenger. Effective voices invite more aggressive censorship attempts. We still have some "Richard Stallman" stories 'in the bag'; we keep these available for the next wave of lynch mobs against him. We think it is inevitable, only a question of time. █ * Audience_Growing_in_Spite_of_the_Deluge_of_Webslop * Intel_Has_Just_Lost_in_One_Single_Day_Over_150_Billion_Dollars_in_'Value' (Market_Cap),_Intel_is_Also_Over_50_Billion_Dollars_in_Debt ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠆⠀⠀⠀⣘⣤⣴⣶⣤⡀⠀⠀⠀⠙⢂⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣀⡀⠀⠈⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠙⣺⣿⣤⡀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣡⣾⣭⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⠄⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⣿⣷⣤⠸⡿⠟⢋⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠻⢿⠏⠈⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠘⠋⠉⠛⠛⠿⣿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠟⠛⠛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠸⣿⣿⡷⠞⠃⠀⢸⣿⣿⢰⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠄⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣏⣁⣠⣶⠀⠸⣿⡏⠘⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⣿⣿⠟⣥⣤⠀⣿⣿⣮⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2350 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Gemini Links 31/10/2026: Hallowe'en and "Thinking About People"⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 31, 2026 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Autumnal_wildlife_shots_catch_'incredible'_moments⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ “…_which_is_to_say_brightened_up_their_faces,_showed_fire in_their_square_or_round_or_curiously_slanted_eyes._Flame guttered_in_their_toothed_mouths._Sparks_leaped_out_their ripe-cut_ears._Halloween.”⠀⇛ Harry Houdini, magician, escape artist and obsessed with talking with his dead mother and in pursuit thereof, debunked hundreds of spiritualists and mediums, died exactly 100 years ago today … Hallowe'en! # ⚓ The_Beautiful_Feedback_Loop_of_Thinking_About_People⠀⇛ Thinking about people seems to lead me back to more people.

I thought it'd be fun to reciprocate with a Halloween postcard of my own 😈. # ⚓ WEEK_THOUGHTS⠀⇛ Hello gopherissimos, you've stumbled upon yet another echo from one of my voidal screams.

Almost half way to the new moon. I am sick today. Since Friday morning, I felt it in my sinuses. I don't mind being sick. It's a different state where I need more rest. I enjoy rainy days, like sunny days. I've got back into producing psytrance on my dawless setup. I'm tempted to use a DAW mostly for the visual continuation, something that is hard to 'see' when producing only dawless. I don't see the progression of the work I do, it's somewhat hidden. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ MangoWM_is_nice⠀⇛ I was having some ram issues on my T480 lately. It only has 8GB of RAM, but even doing a bunch of simultaneous things I made it several months before I ever had a problem. But recently I’ve had a few crashes because the OOM killer shot it in face. Today I spun up a thing to track ram use. Kitty and Sway were my biggest users of ram at around 70M. But then I launched qutebrowser, played a video, killed it, jumped between pages of the UI, and checked in again. 300M that didnt free up after qutebrowser was closed. That’s weird. Other notable processes were the guile-scheme instances that would spawn as a result of package building and such. I have historical tracking with the ram, so I see they spawn over time and go away but they tend not to go over 300M either. The biggest memory hog is the most likely leaking Sway. Launched a few more terminals, reconnected to various remote messengers – these are things not even running locally, they’re all ssh endpoints – and my RAM use for JUST sway was over 1G. When it reached 2.5G within the hour I started looking to see what was in the Guix package selection. I ran niri for a little bit, but niri can’t run qutebrowser or any other QT apps. I then tried dwl – talk about weird key bindings by default (and they’re compiled in!) – but abanoned that because it also couldn’t run qutebrowser. I remembered hearing about Mango a few days ago, but I didn’t actually go looking for that. Instead I was going to guix edit dwl so I could figure out where it pulled it source from and start editing the package to change the key bindings when I noticed mangowm right there in the same definition! # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ qutebrowser_and_codeberg⠀⇛ codeberg doesn’t like older versions of chrome. They used to let you view project pages, now they don’t even do that. Picking a different user agent in qutebrowser gets around the problem. I just did :set user and then picked the user agent option and then set the value to whatever the alternative was that had Linux in the name. # ⚓ Send_missing_net_news_articles⠀⇛ I'm running a little net news network of retro-tech and role-playing games for some friends. There's a web interface if you're interested in taking a look. # § Software Releases/Announcements⠀➾ # ⚓ october_2026_update⠀⇛ Hallowe'en is a good time for spooky and/or tricksy things, so here's an update on plugh, the procedurally generated dungeon crawler that I'm working to bring to Gemini. You may remember that the game is a work in progress; in my previous post, I shared some of the features that I feel already make it ready for a pre-alpha release. # ⚓ introducing_plugh⠀⇛ awhile back I mentioned that I had started to work on a new dungeon-crawling game that i was hoping to set up on Gemini: [...] =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Some of the posts were blog ideas that never got off the ground (Hartlebury Wizard), a couple were off the cuff writing (ghost, witches), and one actually developed far more than I thought it would, (Devil) as I got interested in the literature around the legend and was able to put that into the blog. So for completeness sake, I'll end with today's. I had originally going to tell a ghost story of Sir Peter and his spectral pack of hounds around Harvington Hall, but that may now wait for another day. Instead I'm going with slightly less than supernatural and even less folkloric idea of the panther of Powick, the feline of Fernhill and the moggie of Madresfield, big cat sightings across Worcestershire. # ⚓ Happy_2026_Halloween,_everyone!_🎃⠀⇛ May your night be filled with a little magic, a little mischief, and just the right amount of spooky! Wishing you a wickedly wonderful Halloween! 🕸️ o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Rambling_on_self-hosting⠀⇛ As this is a more casual, rambling and techy blog - its a Gemini exclusive for now and not on my web blog - although perhaps a version will make it. Its about largely the web side, but also applies in large parts to gemini too. Now I'm self hosting, I get to satisfy my very most control freak tendencies by obsessively checking logs and making endless tweaks. Weirdly after a day of stressing about someone else's architecture, I find this quite relaxing when its mine. In a weird strange way I'm again enjoying being a Linux admin. First thing, logs are great. I'm playing with various methods of analysis but even just tailing them and seeing what's going on gives value in my small way. Firstly - there are a lot of damn bots on the internet. Anything that's obviously AI I immediately add to robots.txt - success here varies, I've seen GPTBot scraping pages and images even though its my first entry in robots.txt so that's good isnt it. Why follow convention when you can do whatever the hell you like. Other AI bots seem mostly blocked and anything new gets added to stop these soulless fucks copying my work. # ⚓ The_Ad_Video_Screens_Don’t_Make_Money⠀⇛ The single biggest myth around advertising in public spaces and in public transit is that “it generates money for the municipality”, “it pays for the busses and trains”. The truth is that they do not generate resources. They only use resoures and quite a lot of it. Oh, they move around money alright. Into the pockets of the viewscreen company that put them up. Never let them say that the screens make money or fund our transit. That is a scam. Now, I’m sure quite a lot of folks are thinking “Guh, this biddy is such an overly literal-minded Emacs user. Duh, obviously everybody knows they don’t factually nor actually ‘generate’ any money or resources. But they make it so that the corporations, who buy ads, help pay for our public transit, and that is why we allow and encourage them. Saying ‘they generate money’ is just a gricean shorthand that we’d expect even a child to be able to understand.” # ⚓ Pausing_for_Air⠀⇛ October is ending. My workdays have been taken up with things I wasn't planning, patching and remediating for AI-assisted exploit bullshit. I've had a vision of much of the rest of my career being responding to CVEs and other events that have been amplified by LLMs. Hell of a future we've built, thanks all! But outside of work, things have also been busy. I got to play with my local symphony, an absolute dream. To sit there on stage next to the players, and listen while the conductor gives instructions in his British- and Eastern European-inflected accent. To blend in with the sound. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

This post is kind of a bait-and-switch... I did not take many notes. Not because there was nothing worth remembering, but because I read most of the book in one-go and forgot to bring the sticky flags I use to bookmark passages. # ⚓ human_burrito⠀⇛ wrap yourself in a blanket make a human burrito unwrap just enough to allow another human in squished together a tightly rolled bundle happily still # ⚓ Mickey_now_has_a_page.⠀⇛ Added my Mickey page - just Wiggles, Stink and Frisby to go. # ⚓ white_sandwich_bread⠀⇛ 1 c warm water in mixing bowl, to which add 1 tbsp sugar and 2 1/2 tsp yeast and let proof 15 minutes.

Immediately remove from bread pan and let cool on wire rack. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Where_I_Draw_the_Line_With_AI⠀⇛ Scroll to the bottom of any page here. The very first badge says “Written by a human, not by AI.” Yet scroll back up and you’ll find posts like “Bringing old music ideas to life” and “I am for and against AI,” where I talk openly about how much I use the technology. So which is it? Am I just a hypocritical old man, or is there actually a line between what I let AI do and what I don’t? There is a line, but first, here’s how much I lean on AI... I use it to keep track of my computers and home network. I use it to create projects and code to design tools and applications that assist me in the various functions of my life. # ⚓ Nobody_Cares_That_You're_Leaving_Proton⠀⇛ When choosing software becomes a statement of personal virtue instead of a practical decision. Apparently, we're doing this again. A technology company gets caught up in controversy, and people start announcing they're leaving, canceling their subscriptions, and looking for alternatives. This time it's Proton, and judging by some of the reactions on Reddit, canceling an account is a considerably more significant event than I realized. The complaints involve Andy Yen, Proton's push toward AI, its treatment of employees, and concerns about what its development practices might mean for security. There are also the previous arguments about Yen's political statements and the company's business decisions. Some of those concerns deserve serious answers. But plenty of people seem to have already concluded that the only acceptable response is to abandon the whole ecosystem, and naturally, everybody needs to hear about it. o § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Differential_equations_for_simple_sloped_track_(Part_II)⠀⇛ Something that I got hung up on for quite a while is how to display the simulation. With my analog computer and oscilloscope, I would set the scope to X-Y mode, plug the output of the p integrator into the X channel, and p² on the Y channel, and let the simulation run in real time. From what I can tell, from a quick scan of the info manual, is that Octave does not have a plotting function to for real time X-Y plots. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

I mentioned in passing that getting such stuff required us to save some money, but that we were happy with the outcome. The question, naturally, arose from multiple people as to why we didn’t just perform the requisite fixes and installs ourselves. Why not measure, cut, and install our own blinds? It’s not hard. Why not fix and replace our own taps? You can get all the parts from your local hardware store. Why not clean and maintain your own air conditioning system? There are videos on YouTube about it. Why not pick up your own furniture? You can rent a van. And so on. Some of you posted this in jest, but others I can’t_tell. So I’ll approach your comments earnestly. # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Living_in_the_future_with_a_big_screen⠀⇛ I went into the study after a client call to check the status of something running in our homelab.

I was typing away on that for a solid ten minutes, before remembering I was also in the middle of something back in the home office nook. So I left the room and went back to it.

FRANCE 24’s Ukraine correspondent Emmanuelle Chaze reports. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Star_Wars:_Has_Russia's_war_with_Ukraine gone_intergalactic?⠀⇛ Russian made an unprecedented combative move this month as one of its military satellites, the Cosmos-2612, encroached upon the orbit of Ukrainian commercial satellite, Iceye-X36, in behaviour deemed "threatening" by the US State Department. Norbert Pouzin, an orbital analyst at French space tech firm, Aldoria, described the mercenary manoeuvre as the first of its kind. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Stranded_locals_use_rare_truce_to_leave Moscow-occupied_town_in_Ukraine⠀⇛ Some residents of Oleshky, a Russian-occupied town in southern Ukraine ravaged by food and medicine shortages, left on Friday during a rare ceasefire brokered by the United States – due to end on Sunday evening. Ukrainian and Russian officials visited the town together on Friday, delivering aid and marshalling those who wanted to leave. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Oleshky:_No_access_to_basic_needs, ceasefire_offers_limited_opportunity_for_humanitarian assistance⠀⇛ Catherine Viette is pleased to welcome Jens Schumacher, Field Coordinator in Mykolaiv and Kherson with Solidarity International. Just a few kilometers separate the Ukrainian- controlled city of Kherson from Russian- occupied Oleshky. For civilians caught between military occupation, disrupted essential services and uncertain evacuation arrangements, geographical proximity offers little guarantee of access to life-saving assistance. Schumacher examines the humanitarian implications of a temporary ceasefire around Oleshky, where approximately 2,000 civilians were reported to remain. Although the cessation of attacks has created a limited opportunity for humanitarian operations, the geographical scope of the agreement, the prospects for evacuation and the possibility of sustained humanitarian access remain uncertain. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Residents_leave_Russian-occupied_Oleshky in_evacuation_operation⠀⇛ Residents evacuated from the Russian-occupied Ukrainian town of Oleshky have left for Russia's Anapa city with a Ukrainian delegation, senior official David Arakhamia said Friday.

Transatlantic_ties_hit_new_low_after_Convicted_Felon- Putin_diesel_deal⠀⇛ From the EU's perspective, the second Convicted Felon presidency has felt even more destabilising than the first. From making the false claim that the EU was set up to "screw" the United States, to slapping tariffs on European goods, to making territorial claims on Greenland, to doing a diesel deal with Vladimir Putin and telling Ukraine to get a new president, The Insurrectionist has more than ruffled feathers on this side of the ocean. He has shaken the very foundations of the historical transatlantic relationship. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ Stanford University ☛ Stanford’s_historic_ban_on_recording faculty_senate_meetings⠀⇛ The Faculty Senate continues its tradition of prohibiting reporters from recording meetings, despite no official mention in the body’s bylaws. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Tom's Hardware ☛ Google_hit_with_criminal_probe_over unapproved_Hey_Hi_(AI)_data_center_deforestation⠀⇛ A criminal investigation into the environmental damage caused by Google’s Finnish subsidiary has been launched. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Russell Coker ☛ Russell_Coker:_Fuel_Should_be_More Expensive⠀⇛ ✐ The Current Situation⠀✐ Before the US and Israel started attacking Iran at the end of February the petrol prices in Australia were around $1.70/L, which for American readers is roughly equivalent to $US4.64/Gal. By the 11th of March the prices were around $2.19/L. Over the same time period Diesel went from around $1.77/L to $2.40/L. The 11th of March prices weren’t necessarily unreasonable prices. In mid March it was reasonable to expect that the US would stop doing such ridiculously stupid things and make a deal with Iran to allow oil to be transported. # ⚓ France24 ☛ French_port_strikes:_Unions_'will_get better_working_conditions',_but_can_they_curb militarisation?⠀⇛ Carys Garland is pleased to welcome Renaud Foucart, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Economics ECARES at Lancaster University. An international dockworkers’ strike brings into focus the relationship between organized labor, technological change and Europe’s expanding military investment. Foucart argues that port workers’ strategic position in global supply chains gives them exceptional leverage: “They know how powerful they are.” While questioning their ability to redirect military policy, he expects that leverage to secure concessions on automation and working conditions: “They can get those concessions. And I think they will get them.” # ⚓ France24 ☛ Spain_working_to_identify_train_crash_dead as_relatives'_anguish_grows⠀⇛ A second day of mourning is underway in Spain, with some families still waiting for news about missing loved ones, following Wednesday's high speed train crash that killed 69 people.

Some suspects reportedly built their own hardware using information from Microsoft's proprietary prison GitHub , while others traded tips on hiding activation logs. The modifications could compromise vehicle safety, with offenders facing up to two years in prison or fines of 20 million won ($15,000). # ⚓ Alaska_Air_Group_to_cut_125_jobs_in_Washington⠀⇛ Alaska Air Group is cutting 125 jobs in Washington as part of a broader elimination of 200 positions.

Something I strongly agree with. However, I don't see the point of this fledgling spec on top of all the other IndieWeb complexity that's flying around. From what I can gather, it's 3 files that you upload to /.well-known which provide a bio, a means of contact, and what blogs you follow. Step one is to have an RSS feed, actually, but everyone_should have_an_RSS_feed_anyway. But aside from this, I already have a_bio, a_means_of_contact, and a list of blogs_I_follow.

The “Thank you!” method is most effective if you say it loudly and happily right after the first full bark (which might be anything from “Yip!” to “Whooo-wooo-woo-woo-woo”). If you wait until the second or third bark, you’re just being rude and making the dog bark more to get the positive response they’re looking for — and also conditioning the dog to expect that they will need to bark more than once to get your attention. You can bake in bad habits just as easily as good ones. I don’t have much use for Dr. Phil, but I agree with his dictum that “You teach people how to treat you”, and IME that goes double for dogs. o ⚓ Lap Cat Software ☛ Design_the_interface_for_functionality_not familiarity⠀⇛ Before you cite the ungodly AAPL market capitalization as proof that Joz’s opinion trumps mine, consider how Apple is the same company that gave us howlers such as the trash can Mac Pro, Touch Bar, butterfly keyboard, Liquid Glass, and gave a gold statue to Trump.

I just think it’s a poor design. o § Science / Mathematics / Computer Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ NASA_Slams_the_Accelerator_to_Get_to_the_Moon Before_Trump's_Term_Is_Over⠀⇛ There’s also doubts over whether SpaceX’s Starship, one of the spacecraft that NASA has selected to carry out the Moon landing and be used in the docking exercise, will be ready in time. The world’s largest rocket recently accomplished its first orbit around the planet, but that flight, which was originally intended to have Starship fly around the Earth six times, was cut short because of an engine failure. SpaceX has yet to prove the rocket is safe enough for a proper mission, on top of other capabilities such as refueling in space. o § Career/Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Pariganaka ☛ A_Neuroscientist's_Warning:_Why_the_Digital Age_is_Failing_Our_Children⠀⇛ Human history is defined by adaptation and survival, shaped largely around the concept of challenge. Whether navigating physical scarcity or intellectual hurdles, overcoming obstacles builds resilience, character, and individual identity. However, modern technology is engineered to systematically remove struggle and friction from everyday life. When children can instantly summon answers from a pocket supercomputer or rely on AI to draft essays, they miss out on the deep, incremental learning that comes from wrestling with ideas. Greenfield points out that instantaneous gratification—scrolling, zapping, and outsourcing thoughts to algorithms—deprives young people of the satisfaction of hard-earned achievement. Just as physical muscles atrophy without resistance, mental and emotional resilience weakens when individuals are shielded from difficulty and effort. # ⚓ RIPS Law Librarian Blog ☛ Slow_Librarianship⠀⇛ Last week I attended the AALL Webinar, “Balancing Metrics and Mindfulness: An Introduction to Slow Librarianship for Law Library Professionals” and I found it to be just what I needed. If you’ve read my past RIPS blog posts, you know I am all about combatting burnout, promoting self-care, and maintaining a healthy work/life balance so this webinar discussed another practice I am on board with. Prior to this webinar, I had never heard the term “slow librarianship”. To me, putting slow librarianship into practice is putting the energy we do have for work into projects we have interest in and doing more by doing less. It also means doing everything slower without the sense of urgency we are used to in everyday life. # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ If_British_Library_reading_rooms_become ‘co-working_spaces’,_what,_exactly,_is_a_national_library for?⠀⇛ Despite this troubled context, and in some ways because of it, the library’s drastic reading room reduction plan has provoked “outrage” from staff, say the Prospect and Public and Commercial Services (PCS) unions that represent them. Reading room staff understandably fear for their jobs, but also for the building’s fundamental purpose, which was set out by law in 1972 – an indication of how hard the complex was to conceive and build – as “the establishment for the United Kingdom of a national library”. Staff are now “the most furious I’ve ever seen them about anything”, says a union source. A strike over the reading room plan, following one last year over low pay, could begin as soon as December. Behind this potentially explosive dispute – not least because many well-connected authors, academics and journalists use the library – lurks a big question. In a digital age of decentralised study and dispersed online resources, what is a national library for? o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ RTL-SDR ☛ SPECTER:_Leaking_Data_from_Air-Gapped_Computers by_Toggling_USB_Power_States⠀⇛ This October, researchers Hyeongjun Choi, Ji Hyuk Jung and Ji Won Yoon from Korea University and 78ResearchLab in Seoul have published a paper describing "SPECTER", a covert channel that leaks data from air-gapped computers by repeatedly switching the power state of attached USB devices. This first requires installing malware with root or administrator privileges, which then controls power via the operating system's suspend or disable/ enable controls. No modification to the peripheral's hardware or firmware is needed. # ⚓ Didier Stevens ☛ Quickpost:_Ghost_USB-C⠀⇛ The result is that with this adapter, I can power these non-compliant devices with a classic USB- C power source and a classic USB-C cable. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ Hold_the_lime!_Could_eating_citrus_zest and_peel_really_be_bad_for_your_health?⠀⇛ Sarah Compson, the head of policy and campaigns at the charity Pesticide Action Network UK (Pan UK), says that many of them are fungicides and known or suspected carcinogens and endocrine disruptors. For example, “Imazalil is a post-harvest fungicide used extensively on citrus fruit during storage and transportation,” she says. “It is a suspected carcinogen and reproductive and developmental toxin. It mostly appears on the skin of citrus fruit, so can be consumed if the zest is used.” Nick Mole, a policy manager at Pan UK, adds that the EU considered a reduction in the maximum residue level for imazalil in 2018, but citrus got a reprieve and changes made in 2019 applied only to bananas, apples and pears. # ⚓ The Age AU ☛ AI_and_Gen_Z:_How_young_people_are_using artificial_intelligence_for_life_advice_despite_growing uncertainty_about_the_future⠀⇛ Research from the University of Sydney earlier this year found the number of mental disorders in those aged 16 to 24 has surged from 23.4 per cent in 2007 to 36.2 per cent in 2022 – a relative increase of about 54 per cent. Of the survey respondents, one in four (26 per cent) reported they could not manage more than three hours without their phone. o § Proprietary / Vendor Lock-in / Malware⠀➾ # ⚓ El País ☛ Spain’s_high-speed_train_control_center:_state- of-the-art_software_and_tremendous_pressure⠀⇛ The representation of the rail lines that stitch the country from top to bottom is visible on the screens via the videographic system, showing trains in real time, signals and their status, and also interlockings. Each of the orders the operator gave to the drivers affected by the LZB safety-system outage in Urda is known as a telefonema. The instructions are read from Adif’s manual, with a reference number, and are copied down by the drivers on board the trains. # ⚓ Harvard University ☛ Are_Microsoft’s_Voluntary_Buyouts_a Sign_of_What’s_to_Come?⠀⇛ On October 26, Microsoft offered voluntary buyout packages to 60,000 employees—one quarter of its global workforce. It’s part of a growing trend of profitable companies taking dramatic steps to cut labor costs, but the tool—voluntary buyouts—is hardly new. Wayne Cascio, now a Distinguished University Professor Emeritus at the University of Colorado Denver, has been studying how companies downsize workers since the 1990s, when he wrote the book Responsible Restructuring: Creative and Profitable Alternatives to Layoffs. # ⚓ IGN ☛ Xbox's_Doom,_Wolfenstein_Developers_Working_'More Closely_Than_Ever'_Following_Xbox_'Reset'_Layoffs⠀⇛ Bethesda and Xbox development studio id Software, maker of the Doom franchise, has deepened its partnership with fellow Bethesda and Xbox studio MachineGames, makers of the most recent Wolfenstein games as well as 2024's Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. At a press event earlier this week for id Software's Doom: The Dark Ages - Revelations DLC, which was released this summer, studio co-director Marty Stratton was asked how the studio is doing in the wake of the layoffs that affected id as part of Xbox CEO Asha Sharma's ongoing Xbox "reset." He answered, "We're doing great. Not to handwave the [layoffs] away...everybody knows we had about half of our studio exit as part of that. But there was a very deliberate effort to make sure that we were incredibly viable coming out of that across everything we do, across game development and technology department. # § So-Called 'Artificial Intelligence' ('AI') / LLM Slop / Plagiarism⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ The_Hinge_on_Apple's_Constantly_Breaking New_Foldable_iPhone_Was_"Built_With_AI"⠀⇛ But sadly for the multi trillion dollar company, some of the larger, inner screens on its $2,000-plus devices are already cracking, and early postmortems point to their faulty hinge design. In light of that fiasco, now feels like a good time to bring up how the hinge was designed: with the help of AI. # ⚓ Tech Central (South Africa) ☛ AI_is_squeezing Google's_search_growth_-_and_its_cash⠀⇛ “In a market worried about AI cannibalising the franchise, investors need to see search accelerating, not decelerating,” said Dave Wagner, portfolio manager at Aptus Capital Advisors. “Cloud is carrying the story, but until search shows AI is additive, the stock’s probably going to trade lower.” # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Google_Starved_Out_Publishers_With_AI Search._Now,_Its_Pivot_Is_Blowing_Up_in_Its_Face.⠀⇛ This has had a disastrous effect on the media landscape, with data compiled by Axios showing that the number of visits to top news sites plummeted from over 70 million visitors a month in July of 2024 — the year that Google launched AI Overviews — to just over 47 million in July of 2026. Media leaders who responded to a Reuters Institute survey are grim about the future, predicting traffic to their websites to fall by nearly half over the next three years amidst this AI-dominated paradigm. # § Social Control Media⠀➾ # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ Manosphere_and_online_misogyny should_be_treated_as_public_health_issues,_say_UK experts⠀⇛ It goes on to outline how the manosphere has evolved into a highly lucrative online industry that makes money by promoting “the most extreme expressions of misogyny and aggrieved masculinity”. Prof Kent Buse, a co-author of the paper and co-founder of the social justice thinktank Global 50/50, said: “This is a business model, not a fringe. Outrage and grievance are good for business, so the system rewards the most extreme content. Expect the playbook that served tobacco so well: blame the individual, and call regulation an attack on freedom. Public health has a tested toolkit for commercial harms and we should use it.” # ⚓ Irish Examiner ☛ Manosphere_'must_be_treated_as public_health_problem_similar_to_smoking'⠀⇛ The authors said factors such as educational marginalisation, social exclusion and isolation among boys and young men must be addressed through measures including improving employment prospects and access to skills training, re-engaging boys in education, and ensuring “equitable access to mental health and other frontline health services” designed to reach this group. # ⚓ RTE ☛ Manosphere_must_be_treated_as_public_health risk_-_report⠀⇛ They said factors such as educational marginalisation, social exclusion and isolation in boys and young men must be addressed in various ways. This, it said, includes boosting employment, skills to improve access to jobs, re-engaging boys in education and ensuring "equitable access to mental health and other frontline health services" designed to reach this group. # ⚓ Newsquest Media Group Ltd ☛ Manosphere_must_be treated_as_public_health_problem_similar_to_smoking_– experts_|_Oxford_Mail⠀⇛ The so-called manosphere should be addressed as a public health problem with harms caused online tackled in a similar way to the tobacco industry, academics have argued. # § Windows TCO / Windows Bot Nets⠀➾ # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Moldovan_President_Calls_Security_Meeting After_Massive_Data_Breach⠀⇛ Officials from several European nations have been warning for months of an expanding campaign of hybrid activity -- hostile actions short of open warfare, including cyberattacks, sabotage, and the weaponization of migration -- by Russia amid its war on Ukraine. # ⚓ Cyble Inc ☛ Ukrainian_Ransomware_Affiliate_Sentenced To_70_Months⠀⇛ Stryzhak worked with the Nefilim ransomware and Hive ransomware groups, targeting computer networks and disrupting operations across different sectors. The attacks included incidents affecting healthcare providers during the COVID-19 pandemic, when hospitals faced disruptions to their ability to access digital systems and treat patients. o § Privatisation/Privateering⠀➾ # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ Spain’s_trust_in_high-speed_rail_‘broken’ after_second_deadly_crash_this_year,_says_PM⠀⇛ Two trains, one from Spain’s state-owned Renfe and the other from the private rail company Iryo, were travelling from Madrid towards the southern region of Andalucía on Wednesday when they collided just before 9am. After the Iryo train came to a halt, the other train slammed into its rear, knocking several carriages off the track near Urda, in the central region of Castilla-La Mancha. o § Security⠀➾ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ FSF ☛ Bruce_Schneier_on_why_encryption_is_important⠀⇛ We're preparing a more extensive wrap up of EncryptFest to share with you soon. But, we didn't want to wait to share Bruce Schneier's presentation, which we are pleased to share with you below, especially for those members and supporters who weren't able to attend. # ⚓ Michael Geist ☛ Ofcom_Did_the_Work_Canada_Plans_to Skip:_What_the_UK’s_Age_Verification_Report_Reveals About_the_Bill_C-34_Social_Media_Ban⠀⇛ All require documents, except for facial age estimation. However, since even the best algorithms have an error rate of nearly two years for teenagers, a 15 year old can easily be estimated as being 17. Therefore, Ofcom establishes a “challenge age” set above the threshold that goes beyond age estimation, concluding that the challenge age “would likely need to be over 18 for the 16 age gate, meaning 16- to 17-year-olds would likely need to prove their age using age verification.” In other words, teenagers will require verification that relies on photo- based documents. # ⚓ Bitdefender ☛ Hackers_leak_personnel_data_of_41,000+ Homeland_Security_staff,_including_ICE_and_border agents⠀⇛ More than half of the leaked records relate to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) employees, typically found at airports, seaports, and land border crossings. Around 10,000 ICE employees have had their records breached, and almost 1,000 members of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). # ⚓ Ben Werdmuller ☛ Proton_is_AI-pilled_and_calls caution_"loser_thinking".⠀⇛ Proton should be a careful steward of its users' privacy. Based on this account, it isn't. Journalists should think twice before using it. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russia_still_hasn’t_found_an_effective_way to_curb_VPNs._Now_officials_are_considering_limits_on all_foreign_internet_traffic.⠀⇛ Several sources told Forbes about the proposals, which will likely be included in a bill to overhaul the telecommunications industry. The authorities have been preparing changes to telecommunications laws since the spring and are discussing specific proposals with major industry players. The Digital Development Ministry stressed that all the proposed measures “are being examined, but it is premature to say which will make it into the final amendments or in what form.” # ⚓ NYOB ☛ noyb_win:_French_electronics_retailer_Fnac Darty_fined_€7_million⠀⇛ Lisa Steinfeld Leiser, data protection lawyer at noyb: "The CNIL made once again very clear that processing people's data for personalised advertising requires consent. While this kind of tracking remains a widespread practice, we hope that this decision sets the tone for cases of illegal tracking.” # ⚓ Gadget Review ☛ The_Government_Is_Hiding_a_Court Ruling_About_How_It_Spies_on_You⠀⇛ According to senators and administration talking points shared with lawmakers, the FISA Court’s March 2026 opinion reframes routine filtering as something far more legally significant. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act authorizes collection targeting foreign nationals abroad. Americans’ communications get swept up incidentally, and the rules governing how analysts can search that data sit at the center of every civil-liberties fight the program has generated. According to senators and administration talking points reportedly shared with lawmakers, the FISA Court issued its opinion in March 2026. It found that filtering tools used to isolate an American’s messages from intercepted data can themselves constitute searches of Americans, triggering legal safeguards agencies had not applied to those tools. # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ Researchers_Uncover_Signs_of_Massive Surveillance_Operation_on_Starlink_Users⠀⇛ Discover-Tech, an Israeli advertising firm previously linked to the delivery of zero- click spyware, is the top bidder for Starlink ad impressions in 105 countries, according to a new report from Reuters. Researchers say it all points to a large-scale tracking effort aimed at users of SpaceX’s satellite internet service. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ Why_VPNs_Are_Worth_Defending⠀⇛ Bloomberg also recently reported that the Russian government has added Apple and Microsoft to its state surveillance registry. This gives Roskomnadzor access to local users’ correspondence, Apple Insider reported, and puts both companies in a position to turn over customer information to the country’s security services as required. # ⚓ New Republic ☛ Did_Musk_Cut_Off_Ukraine_From_Starlink_to Force_It_to_Pay_More?⠀⇛ Earlier this month, Starlink’s satellite-supplied internet service suddenly dropped its connection over Ukraine as Russia barraged Kyiv with missiles. Starlink founder Elon Musk initially blamed the lapse on the recent decisions of the U.S. military and President Donald Trump, but then Trump also refused to take responsibility. Musk finally confessed Saturday to slowing down the region’s Starlink connection, claiming in an X post that Ukraine had violated Starlink’s terms of service by using the internet connection to attack Russia. # ⚓ Robert Reich ☛ How_California’s_Billionaires_Are_Proving that_Billionaire_Wealth_Endangers_Democracy⠀⇛ Billionaire wealth becomes a public problem when it finds its way into politics — making it harder for average voters to be heard. It throttles democracy. Consider the estimated $300 million from more than 70 California billionaires seeking to defeat Proposition 40 — the one-time 5 percent tax on billionaires that’s on Tuesday’s ballot. # ⚓ Jay Little ☛ Election_on_the_Edge_of_Forever⠀⇛ The Trump Regime (note: I’m done using the word Administration here) has already begun to contest election results. Alaska is a great example of what is to come. This lawsuit could not be more bald faced either as it basically insists that the election will only be stolen IF the Democratic candidate wins. These people aren’t interested in reality, evidence and data. They are only interested in maintaining power. There is no low they won’t sink to in the quest to achieve that goal. But that lawsuit is really just the start. We’ve also got FBI agents who are concerned that they will be ordered to seize ballots on the day of or the days after the election. This is pretty in line with the prediction I made back in September around the FBI conducting raids on State Election Commission offices. # ⚓ Atlantic Council ☛ European_infrastructure_is_vulnerable_as Putin_escalates_Russia’s_hybrid_war⠀⇛ United States intelligence officials reported in August that a Russian incursion into NATO territory could potentially take place within a matter of months. A number of European countries have recently reached similar conclusions regarding the potential for a localized Russian offensive. # ⚓ Atlantic Council ☛ UN_report:_Russian_attacks_on_Ukraine’s power_grid_are_a_‘crime_against_humanity’⠀⇛ With Russian troops currently struggling to advance on the battlefield while suffering heavy losses, the coming winter bombing campaign is seen by many in Moscow as the best chance to finally break Ukrainian resistance and force Kyiv to capitulate. According to alleged Russian plans intercepted by Ukraine and shared with the international media, the Kremlin is currently preparing what is expected to be the largest nationwide bombardment of the entire invasion. Russia’s goal is to spark a humanitarian crisis and make Ukraine’s major cities unlivable. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ The_US_Once_Called_It_'A_Slush_Fund_For_Putin.'_Now Washington_May_Lift_Sanctions_On_It⠀⇛ The White House called it “a slush fund for President Vladimir Putin [that] is emblematic of Russia’s broader kleptocracy.” After months of dormancy, US negotiators have ramped up efforts to find a negotiated settlement to end Russia’s war on Ukraine -- as well as normalize frosty relations between Washington and Moscow. # ⚓ The Walrus ☛ The_Billionaire_Problem_Has_Only_One_Solution: A_Wealth_Tax⠀⇛ “It is beyond grotesque that a group of men who could fit in a golf buggy own more than the poorest half of humanity” # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ How_the_Far-Right_Uses_Climate_Disasters_to_Build Political_Power⠀⇛ DeSmog Canada editor/reporter Mary Stuart spoke with Astra Taylor about how climate change fits into end times fascism, the importance of AI data centre fights, and how we can understand Canadian Prime Minister Carney’s neoliberal moves in response to U.S. President Donald Trump. Taylor is a writer, documentarian, and activist. She co-founded the Debt Collective, a membership- based union for debtors, and is the author of several books, including The Age of Insecurity and Democracy May Not Exist But We’ll Miss It When It is Gone. This interview was conducted by phone and has been edited for length and clarity. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ Hegseth_Fires_a_Top_General⠀⇛ No replacement for Sylvia was named, and it is unclear who will take over his responsibilities. In the past, the deputy or vice director of the relevant directorate of the Joint Staff would fill the role on a temporary basis until the president nominated a candidate for Senate confirmation. Sylvia is the second person to be pushed out of the job of director of the Directorate for Strategy, Plans, and Policy at the Joint Staff, known inside the military as the J5, in the past year. His predecessor, Army Lieutenant General Joseph McGee, was forced to retire. “Now is not the time when you’d want to lose the J5,” a former Joint Chiefs of Staff official said. “This person would serve as a critical link between the operational force, the department policy, and the White House.” # ⚓ Sightline Media Group ☛ Hasty_US_exit_from_Europe_could drive_allies_away_from_American_arms,_RAND_says⠀⇛ The report’s main finding is that how the U.S. withdraws will shape how allies respond. The four allies “see a stark difference between a coordinated, orderly U.S. withdrawal, which they feel they could handle, and a rapid, uncoordinated one, which they see as creating major capability gaps and potentially emboldening Russia to attack a NATO member,” the authors wrote. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ Jan van den Berg ☛ What_is_the_C_code_in_Def_Leppard's "Lets_Get_Rocked"_video?⠀⇛ I only watched it briefly but then, I saw some computercode flash by. Interesting! This was most definitely C-code, with printf statements all-over the place. And I spotted a pointer. I went to YouTube, scanned the video and screenshotted it here. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Longtime_associates_of_Russian_billionaire_Roman Abramovich_founded_a_paid_consular_appointment_service, investigation_finds⠀⇛ Meduza found that Konsul Prime’s clients in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Switzerland sign contracts with legal entities registered in the United Arab Emirates: Docs Management L.L.C. and Konsul Prime DMCC. That information comes from the company’s privacy policy. # ⚓ [Old] Mint Press News ☛ From_Fight_the_Power_to_Work_for It:_Chuck_D,_Public_Enemy_and_How_the_CIA_Neutralized_Rap⠀⇛ All this is a far cry from Chuck D.’s beginnings and outward image. The rapper and writer of such songs as “Fight the Power” and “Rebel Without a Cause” used both the aesthetics and message of the Black Panther Party in his performances and was seen as Malcolm X with a microphone. He lists the Panthers and Malcolm X as influences during his formative years. “I was in the Black Panther lunch program,” he told the Historic.ly podcast. Thus, for an artist to go from unapologetically demanding black power to now enthusiastically supporting state power is a bitter pill to swallow for his millions of fans. # ⚓ Mint Press News ☛ Lyor_Cohen:_The_Shady_Israeli_Executive Running_YouTube_Music_&_the_Global_Hip_Hop_Industry⠀⇛ Throughout his career, Cohen has pushed hip hop to become more profitable and corporate-friendly, and has worked hard to root out what he sees as anti- semitism in the industry, and ensure that the medium does not become a vehicle for revolutionary change or Palestine solidarity. MintPress explores the story of how a white Israeli-American came to dominate rap. # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Interactive_Archive_Shares_Secrets_of_Shell’s Early_Climate_Research⠀⇛ ExposeShell.com features documents including a 1966 memo Shell commissioned from British scientist James Lovelock and the ‘Greenhouse Effect’, a confidential 1988 report predicting that human- caused warming could trigger “dramatic” changes in sea level, ocean currents, weather and precipitation — “larger than any that have occurred over the last 12,000 years.” [Read these and other documents in the DeSmog series #ShellKnew] The interactive site went live as Shell announced the latest figures showing that oil majors are enjoying bumper profits as the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran pushes oil prices higher. Shell said its adjusted third-quarter earnings had doubled to £10.8 billion in comparison to the same period last year. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ The Narwhal ☛ New_Brunswick_residents_battle_an_AI_data centre_|_The_Narwhal⠀⇛ The proposed data centre in Lorneville, N.B., would raze wetlands and old-growth forest. Its on-site gas plant and additional demand on the power grid would make it one of the province’s largest emitters # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Canada’s_'Responsible'_Data_Centre_Principles_Have a_Credibility_Problem⠀⇛ According to reporting from the Narwhal, “documents obtained through provincial access to information legislation … show provincial officials were in discussions to bring a data centre to the [industrial] park long before residents were told about the tenant — and that details of that data centre conflicted with the more low-impact vision for the industrial park advertised to residents.” # ⚓ The Narwhal ☛ Can_lawsuits_hold_governments_accountable_for climate_change?_|_The_Narwhal⠀⇛ A landmark trial in Canada is part of a growing global wave of climate litigation testing whether governments can be held legally responsible for failing to protect people from a warming world # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ What_an_eight-hour_power_cut_taught me_about_food_stockpiling⠀⇛ Blue cheese and sardines can only get you so far.

Researchers will integrate fuel preparation, experimental testing, computational modeling, and reactor design throughout the project. # ⚓ Molly White ☛ It’s_always_North_Korea⠀⇛ To be clear, neither Binance nor law enforcement has publicly attributed the hack to North Korea yet. But blockchain analytics firms TRM Labs,2 Elliptic,3 and Chainalysis4 all have, and all three have been tracing North Korean [cryptocurrency] thefts for years. # ⚓ Hindustan Times ☛ Binance_confirms_[cryptocurrency] heist,_biggest_in_history,_but_no_one’s_sure_what broke⠀⇛ They are estimating the total cost of the stolen cryptocurrency at around $6.3 billion. “We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far. Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds,” they say. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Bitcoin_price:_Bitcoin,_cryptocurrency prices_fall_after_Binance_reports_security_issue⠀⇛ Bitcoin dropped to a six-week low of $77,646, ether fell to a two-month low of $2,238.76 and BNB, a token originally launched as Binance Coin that can be used to pay Binance fees, was down more than 8% over the past 24 hours at $694, according to market aggregator CoinGecko. # ⚓ Bhaskar English ☛ Binance_[Cryptocurrency]_Exchange_ [Breach]_|_Biggest_Cyber_Attack_in_History⠀⇛ [Cryptocurrency] experts and analytics firms estimate $6.3 billion worth of cryptocurrency, or around ₹60,000 crore, was stolen in the [breach].

This is meant to cover the increasing customs costs associated with the sheer volume of individual packages. The €2 fee comes on top of the €3 tax that has been imposed since July on imported parcels with a value below €150. # ⚓ The Verge ☛ Scam_Altman_says_it’s_better_for_RAM_to_be_in_a data_center_than_on_your_desk⠀⇛ Asked about supply chain shortages, like the ongoing RAM shortage, OpenAI CEO Scam Altman said in an interview that it’s “terrible” to have RAM in personal PCs instead of data centers. During his appearance on the Cheeky Pint podcast, where he also commented on AI’s impact on math, Altman said: [...] # ⚓ ANF News ☛ Journalist_Mavioğlu:_Corruption_in_Turkey_has become_institutionalised_plunder_-_Part_One⠀⇛ As investigations into financial scandals and allegations linking politics to corruption have once again come under scrutiny in Turkey, Mavioğlu argued that corruption had developed into a systematic structure, citing examples spanning several decades. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Elon_Musk,_Who_is_Hoarding_Nearly_a_Trillion Dollars,_Says_Saving_Money_Is_"Pointless"⠀⇛ It’s a feat of hypocrisy as staggering as Musk’s obscene preponderance of wealth. He’s a sometimes- trillionaire, a net worth catapulted well past the $900 billion mark following the uber-hyped IPO of his company SpaceX. If he blew $100 million everyday for the next twenty years of his life, he still wouldn’t even come close to spending all the money he’s amassed. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ The_portraits_of_dead_friends_are_coming_off_the walls._After_29_years,_Russia’s_independent_Novaya_Gazeta newspaper_is_being_forced_out_of_its_Moscow_newsroom.⠀⇛ Novaya Gazeta stopped publishing its print edition in 2022, after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia’s Basmanny Court revoked its media license that same year. In September 2026, Novaya Gazeta was designated a “foreign agent.” # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russian_man_who_turned_abandoned_water_tower_into home_fined_570,000_rubles_for_donating_to_Anti-Corruption Foundation⠀⇛ Alexander Lunev became known after buying a derelict water tower from the city administration in 2012 and turning it into a home. He moved into the tower in 2020 and relocated to the Czech Republic two years later. Lunev was detained and then arrested in August during a short trip to Russia. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Estonian_prime_minister_refuses_to_tone_down rhetoric_on_Russia_despite_U.S._requests:_‘Putin_is_a dictator_who_kills_women_and_children’⠀⇛ “I’m not going to hold back. Putin is a dictator who kills women and children. And he will keep doing so until he is forced to change course,” Michal said. Currying favor with dictators, he said, leads only to humiliation and ultimately does nothing to protect freedom. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Russia’s_Justice_Ministry_adds_Russian_opposition platform_at_PACE_and_independent_publisher_Vidim_Books_to_its ‘undesirable’_organizations_registry⠀⇛ In total, the ministry added 11 organizations to the registry.

He had previously been sentenced to death by the same judicial branch, but after the Supreme Court overturned the ruling, his case was referred back for a retrial. # ⚓ The Strategist ☛ CCP_enforces_its_law_on_Mbappe_and football:_if_you_profit_in_China,_you_will_obey⠀⇛ The party’s reaction was fierce and effective. In the end, it has enforced its law that those who make money from China will do as it says. The party started the week embarrassed. It ends the week with yet greater authority over those who fear its wrath. # ⚓ University of Michigan ☛ UMich_retaliated_against_a professor_for_writing_about_the_Ypsilanti_Township_data center⠀⇛ In early summer, Joy Rohde — a University of Michigan researcher and associate professor of history and public policy — had a Q&A piece on her forthcoming book, “People of the Machine,” set to appear in an e-newsletter distributed by the University’s Office of the Vice President for Research. On Sep. 8, the department pulled the piece from the newsletter before it was sent out. This seemingly mundane act was actually a bizarre means of retaliation against Rohde, who had published a completely unrelated policy brief on the University’s data center project that it is pursuing in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory. # ⚓ The Baltimore Banner ☛ Maryland_delays_Somerset_County schools'_move_to_restrict_young_adult_books⠀⇛ Maryland State School Superintendent Carey Wright is again using her newly granted authority to delay an action by the Somerset County school board, whose attempts to employ a right-wing agenda in the past year have divided its small, rural community and drawn rebukes by state officials. # ⚓ CBS ☛ Court_strikes_down_Harford_County's_attempt_to_ban controversial_book_from_high_schools⠀⇛ A controversial book will stay in Harford County high schools after a lengthy legal battle, a judge ruled Thursday. Harford County Judge Yolanda Curtin deliberated for two hours and decided the book, "Flamer," should remain on school library shelves. The coming-of-age story is set in the 1990s and explores themes of masculinity and homophobia. # ⚓ Ken Klippenstein ☛ White_House_Sees_Speech_as_Election Threat⠀⇛ When the White House’s point man on counterterrorism calls First Amendment concerns “knee-jerk,” that’s a pretty good sign that freedom of speech isn’t a top priority. Gorka, as usual, is the car alarm in the coal mine, saying what the rest of the White House is thinking but discreet enough to keep to itself. His comments are an unusually blunt admission about what the federal government’s sprawling machine for combatting “foreign influence” is actually about: censorship. # ⚓ ANF News ☛ Iran_sentences_three_protest_detainees_to_death, whereabouts_unknown⠀⇛ Security forces arrested the three men during the protests in Tehran and transferred them to the Greater Tehran Central Penitentiary after a period in detention. Their case was referred to Branch 23 following their indictment on charges of “espionage”, the source said. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hello_Kitty_firm_apologises,_scraps Japan_TV_tie-up_after_China_anger⠀⇛ It comes days after Chinese sponsors dropped football superstar Kylian Mbappe over comments calling communist leader Mao Zedong a “dictator”, for which the Real Madrid forward later apologised. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ The Moscow Times ☛ Russia’s_Oldest_Independent_Newspaper, Novaya_Gazeta,_Announces_Closure⠀⇛ “The Russian authorities and security services have forced our newsroom to shut down,” Sokolov said. Novaya Gazeta said it still plans to release one final edition before turning off its servers and vacating its office in central Moscow on Nov. 9. The total number of people losing their jobs is unclear. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘They_killed_us’:_Russian_independent_newspaper Novaya_Gazeta_announces_its_closure_after_decades_of repression⠀⇛ They killed us. On November 9, we will turn off the lights in the home where we have lived for 30 years, shut down our servers, and leave. The newspaper no longer exists. Russian authorities and Russian security services forced the editorial staff to stop working. More than 30 years of living alongside the country and its citizens will end for us out on the street, without means of subsistence, under the constant threat of repression. # ⚓ Middle Tennessee State University ☛ CNN,_MS_NOW,_Politico ask_court_to_make_Trump_access_order_permanent⠀⇛ Three news outlets have beefed up their legal complaint against the White House over access, saying it is continuing to defy a judge’s orders by refusing to let them return to covering President Donald Trump in the Oval Office and on Air Force One — thus violating their free-press and free- speech rights by continuing to keep them out of the rotating press “pool.” # ⚓ Democracy for the Arab World Now ☛ UN:_Investigate_the UAE’s_Alleged_2019_Killing_of_Poet_Habib_Al_Sayegh_-_DAWN⠀⇛ "The allegations that UAE security forces tortured and killed one of the country's most prominent poets are horrifying and demand an independent investigation," said Raed Jarrar, DAWN's advocacy director. "Jamal Khashoggi's murder showed us all just how far governments will go to silence their critics. The UAE should not be allowed to dismiss these allegations without answering basic questions about how Habib Al Sayegh died." # ⚓ CPJ ☛ Journalists_attacked_by_settlers,_detained_by_police after_incident⠀⇛ Video footage and eyewitness testimonies confirm that Khrzhanovskiy and Nathaniel were detained by Israeli police following their arrival to the scene. “Israeli authorities can’t claim to protect public safety while detaining journalists who have been attacked in the course of their work and failing to hold those responsible for the violence accountable,” said CPJ Regional Director Sara Qudah. “Keeping journalists in custody without clearly disclosing the legal grounds for their detention, while they may still need medical care, compounds the harm and sends a dangerous message that those documenting settler violence can themselves become targets of the authorities.” # ⚓ CPJ ☛ Championing_justice_for_journalists:_The_Impunity Action_List⠀⇛ Seeking justice for journalists killed in the line of duty or murdered in retaliation for their work has long been a priority for the Committee to Protect Journalists. More than 1,050 journalists have been murdered since CPJ began keeping records in 1992, and impunity remains rampant, with 86% of cases in the last decade having complete impunity: meaning that no one has been held accountable. Since 1992, the vast majority of those murdered were local journalists reporting on politics, corruption and in the trenches of war. Too often, such cases are limited to apprehending those who executed the crime, rather than those who planned or funded it. Full justice – where all perpetrators, from killers up to masterminds, are successfully prosecuted – has been achieved in only 50 cases. # ⚓ The Tyee ☛ Why_a_Local_Journalist_Resurrected_a_Beloved Northern_Newspaper⠀⇛ In recent decades, British Columbia’s small-town newspapers increasingly shifted to regional and even national or international news, as publications were bought by large media conglomerates that cut newsrooms and syndicated articles across multiple publications, watering down local coverage. o § Civil Rights / Policing / Accessibility⠀➾ # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ I_set_up_a_free_school_for_Afghan_girls_– and_the_Taliban_blindfolded_me_and_broke_my_nose_and_jaw⠀⇛ Arian rejects the idea that suffering “makes you stronger”, and says that some experiences just take things away from you. He has a sense of how fragile life can be, and doesn’t take stability for granted: “You start preparing yourself, almost automatically, for the worst.” He says his own life hasn’t given him confidence in a happy ending. His father’s belief that a better future was possible, which he says he absorbed as a child, helped him to keep going. Reading and studying were always important to him, and he writes a lot of lists to instil a sense of order. Going to the gym has been crucial, especially when other parts of his life felt stuck or out of control. And “human connection really matters”, he says, including the random pleasant interactions which, in a new country, can make such a difference. All these things help him find the strength to move forward. # ⚓ RFA ☛ U.S._to_China_after_demolition_report:_‘End interference_in_Tibetan_religious_life’⠀⇛ Authorities on Oct. 25 and 26 began demolishing about 200 monks’ residences at Dza Sershul Thekchen Dargyeling Monastery in Sershul County in the Kardze (Ganzi in Chinese) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, sources there told RFA, speaking on the condition of anonymity for security reasons. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ The_Man_Who_Risked_Death_Documenting_ISIS⠀⇛ Then David is joined by Omar Mohammed, the formerly anonymous blogger behind Mosul Eye, to discuss his new book, Mosul Eye: A Scholar’s Clandestine War Against ISIS. They discuss life under ISIS rule, the atrocities Mohammed witnessed firsthand in Mosul, and the dangers he faced in documenting them. Finally, David ends the episode with a discussion of the role opera plays in our society. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Inside Towers ☛ FCC_Vote_Would_Enable_Prisons_to_Jam Illegal_Cell_Phones⠀⇛ UPDATE The FCC plans to vote next month to adopt rules that allow state and local prisons and jails to jam contraband cell phones. Carr joined Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) and State Attorney General Tim Griffin in Arkansas for the announcement yesterday, a year after they toured the Varner Supermax facility in the state and pledged to do something about the problem. Federal prisons have long been authorized to jam smuggled cell phones, but state and local prisons cannot, officials have said. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ The Guardian UK ☛ ‘Algorithms_make_everything_predictable’: why_the_CD_is_making_a_comeback⠀⇛ CDs appear to be having a resurgence. John Lewis said searches for CD players are up 96% since July, while another report on trends in music and film this year found that CD sales are up 16%. With this in mind, we asked music fans why they favour discs over other formats, and if it is a new preference or a lifetime habit. o § Monopolies/Monopsonies⠀➾ # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ Rewriting_Copyright_Law_for_Generative_AI_Would Hurt_Everyone⠀⇛ That’s why EFF is stepping in to defend the public’s rights in these cases. Today, EFF filed an amicus brief in In re OpenAI, explaining how the court’s ruling on fair use could impact people worldwide. If fair use gets narrowed, it will impede work that benefits the public, like medical research and investigative journalism, and even limit access to privacy protection tools. # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ AI_content_retrieval_'already_eating away'_at_publisher_businesses,_court_told⠀⇛ Both companies, and other tech giants like Microsoft, train their AI tools on publisher content and continue to scrape in order to get up-to-date information in response to queries via RAG (retrieval-augmented generation). The tech companies have since signed some publisher deals for use of their content but say they do not need permission to scrape as it is “fair use”. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Chile_Blocks_1,954_Pirate_TV_URLs_to Protect_Citizens'_'Privacy_and_Personal_Data'⠀⇛ Chile's telecoms regulator Subtel reports that local ISPs blocked 1,954 pirate streaming URLs between June and October. The blocks are part of a court order obtained by Warner Bros., but Subtel presents them as a data protection measure. Meanwhile, the piracy problem persists as several of the targeted brands remain just a search away. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Vietnam_Indicts_HiAnime_Operators Over_$12.85_Million_in_Pirate_Ad_Revenue⠀⇛ Vietnam's top prosecutor has indicted seven alleged HiAnime operators, sending them to trial for copyright infringement and money laundering. According to the indictment, the group behind the anime piracy ring collected $12.85 million in USDT through ad network PropellerAds. The crypto was allegedly laundered and spent on property and luxury cars, including a Porsche, a Mercedes G63 and a Land Rover. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ House_Democrats_Criticize_Justice Dept._Support_of_OpenAI_in_Copyright_Suit⠀⇛ But the Democrats said that when Congress passed the copyright law in 1976, it did not include an exception for national security or give the Justice Department authority to assert specific or broad national security exceptions. The three lawmakers — Representatives Jamie Raskin of Maryland, Jerrold Nadler of New York and Hank Johnson of Georgia — called the Justice Department’s argument “a bulldozer that would eliminate copyright protection with respect to A.I. training for all works in all circumstances.” =============================================================================== Image source: Museum_on_Central_Park_West =============================================================================== * Amazon's_Debt_Skyrockets_by_Almost_100_Billion_Dollars_in_9_Months * Gemini_Links_31/10/2026:_Hallowe'en_and_"Thinking_About_People" ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 5612 ➮ Generation completed at 02:49, i.e. 16 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
