Ushin offers the seven shapes (or kinds of meaning) deliberative structure for mutual understanding by distinguishing facts, feelings, needs, thoughts, topics, actions, and people. When communicating over the hyperdrive peer-to-peer network, you have full control over your data. With no central authority to censor “misinformation,” decision-making power is distributed. A subjective moderation system inspired by TrustNet makes it easy to find sources of information you can trust. Org mode is already an effective tool for organizing personal knowledge, and we want to use it to deliberate collective issues. Ushin combines these ideas into a fun and easy-to-use plain-text system for discussing important issues free of censorship, bots, and trolls through community curation.” Licence: CC_BY_SA_4.0 ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎

YOU ARE HERE ☞ In 2022 the Company Was Already Too Deep in Debt Video_download_link | md5sum 5955a4f5328798df162f089486615507 Sirius in 2022 Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0 http://techrights.org/videos/sirius-fantasy.webm Summary: A look back at what happened in Sirius_‘Open_Source’ last year THE last year of Sirius (CEO left already) is easy to recall in light of an old recording of a 2-hour meeting. After the company had secretly_plundered_its_own staff it was desperately chasing clients while abusing and underpaying staff, as we explained before. In the name of “cost savings” (nope!) it adopted “clown computing” and then it let go of a physical office. It was changing servers by getting rid of its own. Everything it had left was a virtual asset… there were no physical assets left. Such facts have been mentioned since, even in the meeting, which brought up potential clients. It’s worth noting that these clients never became actual clients of Sirius and the company was trying to rebrand or reinvent itself as SiriUS (it was pronounced Sir… US). “That the company secretly plundered members of staff is something that wasn’t confirmed until this year. Now we work towards accountability (prosecution).”The manager who left last month was basically reporting to staff, showing his graph presentation while talking about sales, engineering, infrastructure, outsourcing, support, projects etc. Of course it all become a complete disaster. Almost an hour in he was summarising the re-infrastructuring process — something that never happened. I first considered leaving the company in 2019 (after the likely illegal contract-signing, then the NDA and the bullying), but last year I was already sure I’d leave. That the company secretly plundered members of staff is something that wasn’t confirmed until this year. Now we work towards accountability (prosecution). █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 354 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 04.23.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Links_23/04/2023:_Libreboot_20230423,_Arianna_1.0.1,_and_PeaZip_9.2.0⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 11:09 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Audiocasts/Shows o Graphics_Stack o Benchmarks o Applications o Instructionals/Technical o Games o Desktop_Environments/WMs # K_Desktop_Environment/KDE_SC/Qt * Distributions_and_Operating_Systems o New_Releases o Fedora_Family_/_IBM o Debian_Family o Devices/Embedded o Mobile_Systems/Mobile_Applications * Free,_Libre,_and_Open_Source_Software o Productivity_Software/LibreOffice/Calligra o Content_Management_Systems_(CMS) o FSFE o Programming/Development # Python * Leftovers o Privacy/Surveillance * Defence/Aggression * Transparency/Investigative_Reporting * Environment o Energy/Transportation o Wildlife/Nature * Finance * AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics * Freedom_of_Information_/_Freedom_of_the_Press * Civil_Rights/Policing * Internet_Policy/Net_Neutrality * Monopolies o Patents o Trademarks * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal o General * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ 2023-04-12_[Older]_FLOSS_Weekly_727:_Homomorphic Encryption:_the_Next_Big_Thing_–_Rand_Hindi,_Fully Homomorphic_Encryption⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-04-19_[Older]_FLOSS_Weekly_728:_Open_Season_On_Open Source_–_Mike_Milinkovich_and_the_Cyber_Resilience_Act_in Europe⠀⇛ o § Graphics Stack⠀➾ # ⚓ Free Desktop ☛ [ANNOUNCE]_mesa_23.0.3⠀⇛ Hi list, I'd like to announce mesa 23.0.3.

On x86 machines, the GRUB and SeaBIOS coreboot payloads are officially supported, provided in varying configurations per machine. You can find the list of supported hardware in the Libreboot documentation. The last Libreboot release, version 20230413, was released on 13 April in 2023. This new release, Libreboot 20230423, is released today on April 23rd, 2023. This is marked as a testing release, though it is basically stable. We’ve been going at it like crazy, on a big spree adding more mainboards from coreboot. Some fixes to the build system were also made, since the last release only 10 days ago. The priority for Libreboot is to add as many new boards as possible, from now to the next stable release (ETA Q3 2023), with many testing releases in between. Release early, release often. Rigorious testing ensues. # ⚓ OMG! Linux ☛ In_a_Rush?_Try_this_Speed_Reading_App_for Linux⠀⇛ Want to read web articles or study materials quicker?

One woman recently posted a TikTok stating that she believes we are at “the death of careers.” * § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ o ⚓ The Kent Stater ☛ Supreme_Court_protects_access_to_abortion pill⠀⇛ The Supreme Court on Friday protected access to a widely used abortion drug by freezing lower-court rulings that placed restrictions on its usage as appeals play out. o ⚓ New York Times ☛ In_Abortion_Pill_Ruling,_the_Supreme_Court Trades_Ambition_for_Prudence⠀⇛ The court’s order seemed to vindicate a commitment in last year’s decision in Dobbs: to leave further questions about abortion to the political process. o ⚓ New York Times ☛ Republicans_Try_to_Keep_Abortion_Ballot_Issues Off_the_Ballot⠀⇛ After abortion rights supporters swept six ballot measures last year, Republican legislatures seek to make it harder to get on the ballot, and harder to win if there is a vote. o ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ The_Supreme_Court_fight_over_an_abortion pill:_What’s_next?⠀⇛ Nothing will change for now. That’s what the Supreme Court said Friday evening about access to a widely used abortion pill. A court case that began in Texas has sought to roll back Food and Drug Administration approval of the drug, mifepristone. Lower courts had said that women seeking the drug should face more restrictions on getting it while the case continues, but the Supreme Court disagreed. The court’s action almost certainly will leave access to mifepristone unchanged at least into next year, as appeals play out, including a potential appeal to the high court. * § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ o ⚓ CPJ ☛ 2023-04-14_[Older]_DRC_authorities_detain_2_journalists, threaten_another_with_arrest⠀⇛ o ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ 2023-04-07_[Older]_US/UK_Seek_to_Silence_Julian Assange_and_Free_Press,_Australia_Says_‘Enough’⠀⇛ o ⚓ Truthdig ☛ 2023-04-07_[Older]_The_Case_Against_the_Case_Against Julian_Assange⠀⇛ o ⚓ Truthdig ☛ 2023-04-12_[Older]_US_Lawmakers_Implore_DOJ_to_Drop ‘Unprecedented’_Charges_Against_Julian_Assange⠀⇛ o ⚓ HRW ☛ 2023-04-08_[Older]_20_Years_After_Deadly_Attack,_Free_Press Still_Threatened_in_Iraq⠀⇛ * § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ o ⚓ France24 ☛ Tens_of_thousands_of_Israelis_continue_protests against_judicial_reform⠀⇛ Tens of thousands of Israelis packed Tel Aviv streets on Saturday for the 16th consecutive week to protest government judicial reforms they see as an attack on democracy. o ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Want_‘real_opinions’_at_Hong_Kong’s district_councils?_Then_keep_them_democratic⠀⇛ Authorities tell us that they will let us know soon what their plans are for Hong Kong’s District Councils (DCs).

The wee fellowship had already went through the eastern side of the Holy Borders into a region of raids and battles, where few ventured, and fewer still made their abode. Paladins had not ventured here in three peaceful years, for the orcs beyond the mountain had not yet recovered from their last defeats. You might expect the odd forester who counted the woods as its home. Rena could relate, though her forest home was far away in the north, orcs were as close too, and though trees and bushes differ, their souls were just as wise. Harder still, despite the stories, would be to find some criminal hiding there in the woods. No, for those, as a last resort, would favor sewers and decrepit houses where justice would be shy to enter. # ⚓ 3D_Printing_With_Prusa⠀⇛ Looking for a “Christmas present for the family” I thought a 3D printer might fit the bill. o § General⠀➾ # ⚓ Seasonality⠀⇛ A teacher once put two of us to the board; the task was to assign the months to the seasons. My thinking went along the lines of “December is pretty cold, that must be winter, therefore winter is December, January, and February.” Years later I came to understand that for some spring is defined as starting on the equinox; from that one might derive April, May, and June. This could be a rounding error; one could easily truncate down instead of rounding up. Neither of these triads were very good; we were being taught the Orthodox American System somewhere the seasons ran to three. # ⚓ Up_and_down⠀⇛ The weather this last week was really all over the place. Thursday and Friday were summer days: 30c / 86f. Wearing long sleeves was really hot, and I had to use a fan in the evening. Yesterday the temperature dipped again and it was cold and grey. Today the sun came out and it went back to being hot again. A few days ago I watched -From Noob To Power User With Manjaro KDE- [1] and I followed the video and installed it myself. I know zilch about Arch/Manjaro, but Konsole looks really nice, as does the sweet theme with candy icons. I had a devil of a time getting jpilot (with pilot-link) to install, and even then I wasn’t able to get hotsync to work, but I’ll try again at a later date. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Before the digital age, messages were hidden with invisible ink, subtle indentations in paper, messages written in Morse code that are knitted into an item of clothing, and even tattooing messages under the hair of messengers. Ideally, the original message is not noticeably degraded by presence of a hidden message. As a result, the most effective techniques tend to make use of data that contains a lot of redundancy, such as raw audio and image files. Steganography works much less effectively, if at all, with efficient compressed formats such as JPEG. We recommend the following steganography tools captured in a LinuxLinks-style ratings chart. All the software is free and open source goodness. # ⚓ Neowin ☛ OpenShot_Video_Editor_3.1.1⠀⇛ OpenShot Video Editor is a free, open-source video editor licensed under the GPL version 3.0. OpenShot can take your videos, photos, and music files and help you create the film you have always dreamed of. Easily add sub-titles, transitions, and effects, and then export your film to DVD, YouTube, Vimeo, Xbox 360, and many other common formats. What really sets OpenShot apart from other video editors is the easy-to-use user interface. OpenShot has many great features, such as trimming and arranging videos, adjusting audio levels, transitions between videos, compositing multiple layers of video, chroma-key / green screen effect, and support of most formats and codecs. # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ New_EasyJWM⠀⇛ Over the last couple of days, posted about new EasyApps and EasySetup: https://bkhome.org/news/202304/new-easysetup.html These have replaced Roger’s PupApps and PupControl. Now it is the turn of JWMDesk, Roger’s superb JWM window manager. Which I have kept, instead just cut it down to be only a JWM manager. JWMDesk does a whole lot more than just configure JWM, whereas I want each tool to have one purpose only. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Using_dd_to_clone_my_portable_Mageia_Linux_desktop⠀⇛ Since I returned to the office in 2022 after the remote work mandate was lifted, I have been using portable Linux desktops that I made. These are convenient USB drives with persistence that I boot and so I can circumvent the restrictions (not to mention the spying) in the Windows desktop. # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ 2023-04-18_[Older]_5_Tips_to_Use_a_Steam_Deck With_a_Dock_More_Effectively⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-04-21_[Older]_How_to_install Mendeley_Desktop_on_a_Chromebook⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-04-21_[Older]_How_to_install Telegram_on_Linux_Lite_6.2⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-04-20_[Older]_How_to_install Visual_Studio_Code_on_a_Chromebook_in_2023 [Microsoft proprietary software that spies a lot]⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-04-20_[Older]_How_to_install WebStorm_on_Linux_Lite_6.2⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-04-19_[Older]_How_to_install Audacity_on_a_Chromebook_in_2023⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-04-19_[Older]_How_to_install GoLand_on_Linux_Lite_6.2⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-04-18_[Older]_How_to_install_Gnome Sudoku_on_a_Chromebook⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-04-18_[Older]_How_to_install Synfig_Studio_on_Linux_Lite_6.2⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-04-17_[Older]_How_to_install PulseEffects_on_a_Chromebook_in_2023⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-04-17_[Older]_How_to_install_Skype on_Linux_Lite_6.2 [Microsoft proprietary software that spies a lot]⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_to_install_Apache2_in_AWS_Ec2_Ubuntu_Linux⠀⇛ Apache is one of the most reliable web server software powering millions of hosting servers to run various types of websites. Apache2 is the second version of the Apache HTTP server and is available for all the major operating systems such – as Windows, macOS, and Linux. One of the reasons, why the Apache web server is still active and used by millions of people around the globe for a very long time is its support for various programming languages such as PHP, Perl, and Python; and its capability to serve static and dynamic web pages. Apache2 is also highly configurable, therefore developers can use it to customize the server’s behavior and performance to meet their specific needs. # ⚓ How_to_create_a_Ubuntu_Linux_AWS_ec2_Instance_on_Amazon Cloud⠀⇛ Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a popular computing service that allows users to create a virtual machine using various available Linux and applications Images. It is provided by Amazon Cloud with a complete infrastructure to host commercial applications on Linux virtual machines. In short, it is a Cloud service to create virtual servers. The interface of AWS is easy to manage that’s why even a new user with some technical knowledge can easily create an EC2 instance and configure it with prefer an operating system, hardware configuration, and required software packages. Depending upon the needs users can launch, terminate, and manage instances and even can scale up or down as demand changes. Users will charge on an hourly basis for an Ec2 Instance which further depends upon the instance type, usage duration, and data transfer. To cater to different kinds of users’ requirements Amazon Cloud offers a variety of instance types each optimized for different types of workloads and hardware configurations, such as compute-intensive or memory-intensive applications. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ User_Mode_Linux_|_Hackaday⠀⇛ An old joke is that Emacs is a text editor with an operating system included, given that its extensibility and customization often goes far beyond traditional text editors. Part of its well- earned reputation comes from being built in Lisp which allows it to be expanded to do almost anything. Despite this in-joke in the community, though, you will still need an actual operating system to run it, but not much more than that. This project uses User-Mode Linux (UML) as a foundation to load almost nothing other than an Emacs editor. UML is a virtualization technology that allows running multiple Linux kernel instances as separate virtual machines, so once the Linux environment is started and Emacs is compiled, the virtual machine can essentially boot straight into an Emacs environment. Some tools are needed outside of the Linux kernel like mount which allows the virtual file system to access the files needed to build Emacs, but as far as lightweight or minimalist Linux distributions go this one definitely gets at least an honorable mention. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ blendOS_2_Is_Already_Here_and_Supports_Android_Apps Out-of-the-Box⠀⇛ When I first looked at blendOS, the distro promised a blend of Arch Linux, Fedora Linux, and Ubuntu, but now blendOS 2 is already here and it promises more than that, such as out-of-the-box support for Android apps. The Android app support implementation inside blendOS 2 is possible thanks to the WayDroid project, an open- source container-based solution for running the full Android operating system inside your Linux box. o ⚓ Beta News ☛ Manjaro_Linux_22.1_‘Talos’_is_here_with_updates_for GNOME,_KDE_Plasma,_and_Xfce⠀⇛ Weight-loss drug Mounjaro is all the rage these days, helping people to shed pounds. Please don’t confuse this medication with the similarly named “Manjaro” Linux-based operating system. While Mounjaro helps you lose weight, Manjaro can help you lose Windows! Today, Manjaro Linux 22.1 is released. Code-named “Talos,” it is chock-full of new features. Once again, this version of the distribution can be had with your choice of three desktop environments — GNOME, KDE Plasma, and Xfce. One of the highlights of Talos is the GNOME edition, which boasts several updates to the GNOME 43 series. This includes fixes and polish that were missing when GNOME 43 was initially released in September 2022. Users can find detailed changes made to each point-release on the Manjaro website. The redesigned system status menu is one of the most noticeable changes in GNOME 43. This feature allows users to quickly change commonly used settings without having to dig through menus. Users can now see the status of their settings at a glance, thanks to the new design. o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Users_Are_Worried:_What’s_Going_On_with SolusOS⠀⇛ Solus is a fully-fledged, independent rolling release Linux distribution targeted at desktop users. It is unique because it is written from scratch and has its repositories and package manager, EOPKG. In addition, the distro is traditionally associated with Budgie as its flagship desktop environment. While receiving less attention than other leading desktop-oriented Linux distros such as Ubuntu, Fedora, Linux Mint, and others, Solus has a devoted fan base concerned about what has been happening to their favorite distro in the last month. Here’s what it is all about. # ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ Solus_Linux_Goes_Through_Yet_Another_Shake_Up; to_be_Rebased_on_SerpentOS⠀⇛ Every Linux distro goes through at lest one big change at some point in its life span. However, there is one distro that seems to keep encountering major turmoil and changes on a regular basis. Let’s look at the latest news coming from Solus. There are approximately six billion Linux distros (or so it seems). Most of them are reskins of Ubuntu or Arch, with at least one new feature added or highlighted. I can count on one hand the number of distros that are actually built from scratch. Solus is one of them. According to Solus’ website, “Solus is built from scratch to ensure every tweak, configuration, and optimization enables the delivery of a singular, cohesive desktop experience.” All the important system tools, from the build tools to the package manager, have been built from scratch. They even created their own desktop environment named Budgie. (Budgie had since been spun off to be an independent project.) o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Turing_Pi_reveals_RK1_CM_specifications⠀⇛ The Turing RK1 is a computer module powered by the Octa-core Rockchip RK3588 System-on-Chip.

If you like GNU Parallel record a video testimonial: Say who you are, what you use GNU Parallel for, how it helps you, and what you like most about it. Include a command that uses GNU Parallel if you feel like it. About GNU Parallel GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one or more computers. A job can be a single command or a small script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, a list of URLs, or a list of tables. A job can also be a command that reads from a pipe. GNU Parallel can then split the input and pipe it into commands in parallel. If you use xargs and tee today you will find GNU Parallel very easy to use as GNU Parallel is written to have the same options as xargs. If you write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel may be able to replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running several jobs in parallel. GNU Parallel can even replace nested loops. GNU Parallel makes sure output from the commands is the same output as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This makes it possible to use output from GNU Parallel as input for other programs. For example you can run this to convert all jpeg files into png and gif files and have a progress bar: parallel –bar convert {1} {1.}.{2} ::: *.jpg ::: png gif Or you can generate big, medium, and small thumbnails of all jpeg files in sub dirs: find . -name ‘*.jpg’ | parallel convert -geometry {2} {1} {1//}/thumb{2}_ {1/} :::: – ::: 50 100 200 You can find more about GNU Parallel at: http:// www.gnu.org/s/parallel/ You can install GNU Parallel in just 10 seconds with: $ (wget -O – pi.dk/3 || lynx -source pi.dk/3 || curl pi.dk/3/ || \ fetch -o – http://pi.dk/3 ) > install.sh $ sha1sum install.sh | grep 883c667e01eed62f975ad28b6d50e22a 12345678 883c667e 01eed62f 975ad28b 6d50e22a $ md5sum install.sh | grep cc21b4c943fd03e93ae1ae49e28573c0 cc21b4c9 43fd03e9 3ae1ae49 e28573c0 $ sha512sum install.sh | grep ec113b49a54e705f86d51e784ebced224fdff3f52 79945d9d 250b42a4 2067bb00 99da012e c113b49a 54e705f8 6d51e784 ebced224 fdff3f52 ca588d64 e75f6033 61bd543f d631f592 2f87ceb2 ab034149 6df84a35 $ bash install.sh Watch the intro video on http://www.youtube.com/ playlist?list=PL284C9FF2488BC6D1 Walk through the tutorial (man parallel_tutorial).

About GNU Niceload GNU niceload slows down a program when the computer load average (or other system activity) is above a certain limit. When the limit is reached the program will be suspended for some time. If the limit is a soft limit the program will be allowed to run for short amounts of time before being suspended again. If the limit is a hard limit the program will only be allowed to run when the system is below the limit. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ 2023-04-18_[Older]_Matthew_Palmer:_Rutie_and_Magnus,_Two Good_Ways_to_Build_Ruby_Extensions_in_Rust⠀⇛ # § Perl / Raku⠀➾ # ⚓ Perl ☛ 2023-04-21_[Older]_This_week_in_PSC_(104)⠀⇛ # ⚓ Perl ☛ 2023-04-18_[Older]_Perl_Weekly_Challenge_213: Fun_Sort⠀⇛ * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2023-04-17_[Older]_Photography’s_diverse_roles during_the_Nazi_era⠀⇛ o ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2023-04-17_[Older]_The_different_roles_of photography_during_the_Nazi_era⠀⇛ o ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ 2023-04-17_[Older]_Philosophy’s_Big_Oversight⠀⇛ o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2023-04-18_[Older]_T._rex_skeleton_fetches more_than_$6_million_at_auction⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2023-04-20_[Older]_Space_industry:_Africa is_ready_for_liftoff⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ 2023-04-20_[Older]_Defunct_NASA_Satellite Disintegrates_Over_Northern_Africa⠀⇛ # ⚓ IBM Old Timer ☛ 2023-04-20_[Older]_How_to_Leverage_AI_for Substantial_Business_Value⠀⇛ o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2023-04-21_[Older]_Africa_strives_to revamp_universities_for_the_modern_labor_market⠀⇛ # ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ 2023-04-21_[Older]_How_to_Support_Your Local_Librarians⠀⇛ o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2023-04-19_[Older]_Meta’s_lingering_layoffs_enter their_next_phase⠀⇛ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ 2023-04-19_[Older]_Microsoft set_to_bring_more_ads_to_Windows_11_Start_Menu,_whether_you like_it_or_not⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ 2023-04-17_[Older]_Microsoft_Isn’t_Done_Shoving Ads_Into_Windows_11⠀⇛ # ⚓ Engadget ☛ 2023-04-16_[Older]_Security_researchers_find LockBit_ransomware_can_target_macOS_devices⠀⇛ o § Linux Foundation⠀➾ # ⚓ InfoWorld ☛ Linux_Foundation_launches_TLA+_language foundation⠀⇛ # ⚓ Slashdot ☛ 2023-04-21_Linux_Foundation_Launches_New Organization_To_Maintain_TLA+ [Ed: Microsofters and Slashdot pushing Microsoft's and GAFAM's marketing ploy, sold in "Linux" clothing (misleading)]⠀⇛ o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ The_Fortra/GoAnywhere_breach_also_affected healthcare_entities._Here’s_what_we_know_so_far,_Part_2.⠀⇛ MedMinder has not issued any press release or public notification concerning the incident and did not reply to this site’s inquiry of March 11.

I have been miserable for months. Badly at the start of 2023. Still 1/3 of that. Oddly, I get a perception that my neighbors are equally as miserable. No reason for them to NOT be. They’re loners/no one’s, like me, and I am scurrying down to Farmington Missouri in June, bless, so I won’t have this disposition. Rehab (alcohol) ma happen in that time, too. Overdue. # ⚓ Christina’s_5_questions⠀⇛ Good tea (jin jun mei, milk silk oolong). A beautiful cow paces your bike down a country lane. Give a child structure & space to be a child; catch the child using it well. Unexpect- ed glimpse of stunning sky, bright moon, mist tower above Kentucky River. Nap during demand- ing day. Mailed letter arrives. Surprised laugh at quick wit, apt retort. Stop to reflect after doing something hard, especially with people. # ⚓ I_made_a_Soroban⠀⇛ I spent a couple of hours today with a small woodsaw and my powerdrill to finally make a Soroban that I had planned to build for a while now. It consists of simple soft wood for the frame, wooden beads and brass rods for the beads to slide on. For those curious: The brass rods are 2mm thick and 12mm apart. The beads are 10mm diameter with a 3mm hole. The wood for the top and bottom beams are 10x15mm, the middle beam is 10x2mm. o § Technical⠀➾ # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ News_section⠀⇛ I updated my Gopherhole a bit. I added a new article to my /Gopher Novice/ series. It’s about zines because I had thought that there were absent on the 90′s Gophersphere. And it was wrong. As I’ve seen on [Directory of Electronic Journals, Newsletters, and Academic Discussion Lists, Tom 4] there was a significant increase in publications of that type. And many of them were published on Gophersphere then. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
