Days ago the CSC contacted staff and said: § Report on the GCC meeting of 3 May 2023⠀➾ Dear colleagues, The agenda of the meeting was as follows: Amendments to Circular 364 – Implementation of the New Career System – Functional Allowance & Recruitment-related amendments GCC/DOC 07/2023 Amendments to Circular 411 – Application of Articles 70a and 71 ServRegs concerning young child and education allowances GCC/DOC 08/2023 Further development of the career system for members and chairs of the Boards of Appeal (CA/23/23) GCC/DOC 09/2023 Update to Staff Changes List GCC/DOC 10/2023 We wrote reasoned opinions on all four documents. They are included in this full report. At present, the only way for mitigating the negative trends in our conditions of employments seems to be through legal litigation or individual resistance of many colleagues. This reveals the President’s unpreparedness and lack of interest in a real dialogue with the staff and its representation, despite various publicity stunts and announcements to the contrary. They speak of “legal litigation or individual resistance of many colleagues.” Strikes maybe? is there an illegal litigation? Much resistance is also needed against the kangaroo court set up with facilitation of the EU/EC in violation of laws, constitutions, and conventions. The video above shows that the Boards of Appeal, which already lost their independence, are discussed a great deal in the document. The EPC, or the law which was supposed to govern the EPO (it’s routinely violated!), is also brought up. The annexes are very long and the video passed through them rather quickly. At least the PDF is available for all to access, including disgruntled outsiders such as prolific patent applicants. The EPO’s management loves to hide behind the curtain of cheesy PR pieces and bribed-for “media” coverage. Nothing is rosy at the EPO and Campinos solved nothing; he’s just shouting and cursing (obscenities) at ‘his’ staff. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 168 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/06/13/financial-crunch-in-youtube/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/06/13/financial-crunch-in-youtube/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 06.13.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Why_You_Should_Quit_YouTube_–_Part_4:_Financial_Crunch_Time⠀✐ Posted in Finance, Google, Videos at 8:30 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Series parts: 1.

If YouTube was still an independent company, it would be deep in debt, just like Twitter and other fake “successful” companies (Spotify, from Sweden, is losing a billion dollars a year). A lot of video or multimedia (including music) hosting platforms are financially untenable. The video explains the example of Vimeo and others. Remember Microsoft’s “Soapbox”? It didn’t last long, did it? So Google’s lawyers have now decided to nakedly take aim at Invidious. Is that a smart move? What percent of all YouTube traffic goes through Invidious instances? Certainly far less than 1%! “The new chief of YouTube clearly has no idea what he’s doing; he’s just a greedy salesperson, aiming for nothing other than MONEY MONEY MONEY NOW NOW NOW!”As Ryan put it this morning: “You might mention that I use NewPipe because of all of YouTube’s ads and restrictions and that Google harasses them with lawyers and technical sabotage. Which is petty considering iPhones can’t even install it and only about 0.1% of Android users are smart enough. How much revenue could NewPipe even be costing them if most phones don’t allow it to be installed and Google won’t allow it in the Play Store?” And “there’s also FreeTube, mpv and yt-dlp,” MinceR reminded Ryan. The matter of fact is, Google (or the alphabet agency it pretends to be under) made a huge mistake that would certainly alienate many people and alter perceptions for the worse. The new chief of YouTube clearly has no idea what he’s doing; he’s just a greedy salesperson, aiming for nothing other than MONEY MONEY MONEY NOW NOW NOW! His predecessor is one of the earliest employees of Google, back then the “don’t be evil” company. Whatever happens next, it won’t be pretty. Google will drive into a wall and then blame the wall, not the driver or the car. The financial prospects of YouTube will continue to diminish and, as we shall explain in future parts, people will leave. Creators and audiences won’t put up with disgusting ads that can neither be skipped nor avoided the “afk” way. A lot of the ‘beef’ of the series starts in Part 5. A lot of these self-harming moves from Google, however, appear to stem from financial/business failure. Building a large platform or even a monopoly on a mountain of losses/debt isn’t too hard; is there a turnaround? GitHub, for example, already had two major rounds of layoffs this year. Just hosting something for a lot of people isn’t the same as sustainability, not even when your engineers are based in India (Microsoft fired them too). █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 263 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/06/13/irc-log-120623/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/06/13/irc-log-120623/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 06.13.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ IRC_Proceedings:_Monday,_June_12,_2023⠀✐ Posted in IRC_Logs at 2:02 am by Needs Sunlight Also available via the Gemini protocol at: * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-techrights-120623.gmi * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-120623.gmi * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-social-120623.gmi * gemini://gemini.techrights.org/irc-gmi/irc-log-techbytes-120623.gmi Over HTTP: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇H 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇HTML5_logs⦈_ #techrights_log_as_HTML5 #boycottnovell_log_as_HTML5 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇H 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇HTML5_logs⦈_ #boycottnovell-social_log_as_HTML5 #techbytes_log_as_HTML5 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇t 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇text_logs⦈_ #techrights_log_as_text #boycottnovell_log_as_text 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇t 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇text_logs⦈_ #boycottnovell-social_log_as_text #techbytes_log_as_text Enter_the_IRC_channels_now =============================================================================== § IPFS Mirrors⠀➾ CID Description Object type IRC log for  QmSHX2JWS6HZZmSrXT2DzgXLCtQVEQK2rZEsLFH3WfbdDm #boycottnovell 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #boycottnovell  QmeEj2uCNsJYZTiV3fkqbjSLLz22xtvKPmGD4MFukmSNsW (full IRC log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ as plain/ASCII text) IRC log for #boycottnovell-  QmXaoqYUrYLf2d7vCRS92Dc357RddQVYKyUJxFpbKdCWEb social 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #boycottnovell-  QmcvxdokcdZBVzsQniT54euM9ZnE7jzF3k12WsDKQN2Ys9 social 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ (full IRC log as plain/ASCII text) IRC log for  QmbsztpyuiPfbg9cRRyg7izUj3THp7jWczTRJMsbY4t7e4 #techbytes 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #techbytes  QmQGwv4pMz8xeiZvD9mCnPpfUPvD6r6rWJYHwAKDKgivEw (full IRC log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ as plain/ASCII text) IRC log for  QmNrLndVszH1xg6xKwxu8d43c42QH6z2Usi1gPPv25rgfc #techrights 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇HTML5 logs⦈ (full IRC log as HTML) IRC log for #techrights  QmQEZcZyQhsveenUxTj1hGMVNwkhtGSejzfLBG31FE5qV8 (full IRC log 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇text logs⦈ as plain/ASCII text) 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇IPFS logo⦈ § Bulletin for Yesterday⠀➾ Local_copy | CID (IPFS): QmWBGQqZ4Jz95dLe9RNobqwN83vwgnBVTt3FLZ16PhtwBd ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 390 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/06/13/lf-exploitative-behaviour/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/06/13/lf-exploitative-behaviour/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 06.13.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ The_Real_Linux_Foundation_–_Part_5:_The_Annual_Cost_of_the_Office_Has_Jumped to_Almost_8_Million_Dollars_for_Just_261_Employees_(About_$30,000_Per_Employee Per_Year)⠀✐ Posted in Finance, GNU/Linux, Kernel at 8:06 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Series parts: 1.

YOU ARE HERE ☞ The Annual Cost of the Office Has Jumped to Almost 8 Million Dollars for Just 261 Employees (About $30,000 Per Employee Per Year) Summary: A couple of years ago the Linux_Foundation paid_almost_6_million dollars_a_year_for_an_overpriced_office_space (vanity; no practical advantage) following a relocation to one of the world’s most expensive places; the figure has since then jumped by nearly 2 million dollars THE Linux Foundation is wasting a lot of money on its delusions of grandeur. The career-climbing, money-grabbing management, which does not even use GNU/ Linux, is trying to look very important. Self-aggrandising behaviour comes at a cost however: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Linux_Foundation_office_cost⦈_ How much of this money could instead be used to support developers of independent GNU/Linux distros? Even if you pay each one of them just 50,000 dollars a year (a lot of money in a place like Poland or India), that’s about 150 of them! Instead of some useless office in central San Francisco. The sad truth is that the Foundation and even the “LINUX KERNEL ORGANIZATION” (see last couple of parts to understand what that is) does not care about GNU/ Linux but about its sponsors, i.e. Microsoft, IBM etc. Below are photos of the office of the ‘non-profit’ that borrows a trademark still controlled not by itself but by Linus Torvalds (through the “Mark”). Exploitative behaviour begets arrogance. █ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Market_Str._LF⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Market_Str._LF_towers⦈_ 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Market_Str._LF_towers⦈_

In Part_3, which the video above discusses, we talked about the “LINUX KERNEL ORGANIZATION”. It may not be big and isn’t profitable, but the Foundation calls itself after the kernel, even in 2023. Only a minuscule amount of money — in relative terms — is designated/allocated to help and/or promote this kernel. In terms of income, this is what it looked like last year, based on IRS filings: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇lf-fees⦈_ We’ll cover this more properly in future parts.

For context, this is a company that once upon a time sponsored the Free Software Foundation (FSF) for several consecutive years and wasn’t reluctant to put GNU logos in its Web site. “This cannot possibly end well unless the perpetrators are held accountable. All of them.”Things soured over the years. A decade ago I went to a meeting which helped secure a very important deal for the company. I’d rather not name the client, but let’s just say it supervises (or is in charge of) the people who run Action Fraud — basically the very same folks who turned down my report of a crime, a crime committed not only against myself. This is confirmed, it’s not merely a suspicion. Action Fraud, what about action? Where’s Action Fraud? Are they trying to hide something? It has been three weeks already and they’re not even responding to my elected representative, who (to her credit!) seems eager to get to the bottom of it. The video above is a verbal update on the issue. We still have a lot of material left to publish and many steps remaining to explore, bodies to escalate to, issues to scrutinise etc. This cannot possibly end well unless the perpetrators are held accountable. All of them. Facilitators are another matter as they’re only indirectly culpable. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 758 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/06/13/sirius-open-source-contractors/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/06/13/sirius-open-source-contractors/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 06.13.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Police_Out_of_Control_(or_Oversight)_–_Part_5:_What’s_Left_of_the_Company_is a_Skeleton_Crew_(While_Police_is_Dragging_Its_Heels)⠀✐ Posted in Deception, Free/Libre_Software at 8:39 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Series parts: 1.

YOU ARE HERE ☞ What’s Left of the Company is a Skeleton Crew (While Police is Dragging Its Heels) Summary: Today’s part talks about what’s left of Sirius_‘Open_Source’; about two thirds of the people listed in the “Meet The Team” page of Sirius ‘Open Source’ aren’t there (some left years ago), the company is unable to recruit, and LinkedIn is linking the company to people who don’t work (or barely ever work) for Sirius ‘Open Source’ THE pension_fraud at Sirius ‘Open Source’ is still being ignored by Action Fraud. This won’t end well because Sirius ‘Open Source’ is connected to Action Fraud through its likely biggest client (if it’s still a client at all). Are they waiting for the company to simply vanish as a legal entity with the word “LIMITED” added to its name, leaving the culprits off the hook? Because it would contribute to the perception that the police becomes an actual facilitator of the crime, for self-serving purposes at least. “This cannot possibly end well unless the perpetrators are held accountable. All of them.”We’ve meanwhile noticed that Sirius ‘Open Source’ makes itself look bigger than it really is. Here’s an example: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇_Sirius_'Open_Source'_senior_engineer⦈_ Sirius ‘Open Source’ has maybe paid him for hundreds of hours of contract work over the past decade.

YOU ARE HERE ☞ The Real Enemy Has Become Sanity of Users Summary: YouTube is becoming a force of mental occupation and oppression; it’s important to recognise that the mission of YouTube is changing, as many channels are banned for political reasons (purely geopolitical purposes) and control is gradually taken away from users of the platform THE previous part, complete with the video “YouTube Wants Nothing But Money”, discussed the aspiration at Google to finally make YouTube profitable, mostly through ads. Because yes, there are reasons to believe that YouTube was never profitable and it was instead focused on building and maintaining near- monopoly. There are meanwhile two updates about YouTube that we’ve included in Daily Links. They are saying that “Google had delisted the app Downloader from the Play Store after a DMCA notice” [1] and “Maria Schneider’s lawsuit against YouTube would’ve culminated in a jury trial today after almost three years of litigation.” [2] “The US government stands to gain from controlling what people can/cannot publish, watch, not to mention what gets promoted or goes “viral”. The Chinese government figured this out as well.”YouTube is having issues and those issues, in turn, make life very hard for “creators” and spectators. YouTube is under immense pressure to justify itself as a business because of the tough economic times. Its revenue shrank despite bombarding users with more and more ads people cannot skip. Truth be told, YouTube’s censorship and propaganda aspects are the real models. The US government stands to gain from controlling what people can/cannot publish, watch, not to mention what gets promoted or goes “viral”. The Chinese government figured this out as well. It is worth noting that owing to social control media YouTube isn’t really competing with its old and more “traditional” rivals. It is competing with TikTok and many new uploads to YouTube are just “#shorts” from TikTok, i.e. worthless junk in large quantities. TikTok_is_a_bundle_of_threats_or_a_multi- layered_attack_vector. Aside from phone, network and users we have “app”, centralisation/authority and forces of mental occupation. The best way we can conceptualise this is a operant_conditioning_chamber, also known as a Skinner box. We know that Richard Stallman (rms) “gets” it when it comes to such things because spoke about it last week in Italy. █ § References⠀➾ 1. ⚓ Google_Finally_Restores_‘Downloader’_App_To_Store⠀⇛ A couple of weeks back, we discussed how Google had delisted the app Downloader from the Play Store after a DMCA notice was issued by a firm representing several Israeli TV networks. The problem with all of this is simple: Downloader doesn’t have anything to do with copyright infringement or piracy. All it does is combine a file manager and basic web browser. The DMCA notice centered on the latter, complaining that users could get to piracy sites from the browser. You know, just like you can from any browser. 2. ⚓ No_Trial_Today_or_Ever:_YouTube_Content_ID_Lawsuit_Dismissed_at_11th Hour⠀⇛ Had everything gone to plan, Maria Schneider’s lawsuit against YouTube would’ve culminated in a jury trial today after almost three years of litigation. The lawsuit began with claims of mass copyright infringement on YouTube, failure to terminate repeat infringers, and denial of access to piracy mitigation tool Content ID. It ended Sunday with the dismissal of the entire case and an agreement that it will never see a courtroom again. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 950 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 06.13.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Links_13/06/2023:_Curl_FUD_and_Tails_Release⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 11:38 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Kernel_Space o Instructionals/Technical o WINE_or_Emulation o Games * Distributions_and_Operating_Systems o BSD o Debian_Family o Canonical/Ubuntu_Family o Devices/Embedded o Open_Hardware/Modding o Mobile_Systems/Mobile_Applications * Free,_Libre,_and_Open_Source_Software o Programming/Development # Perl_/_Raku * Leftovers o Science o Education o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Proprietary o Security # Privacy/Surveillance o Defence/Aggression o Environment # Energy/Transportation # Overpopulation o Finance o AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics o Censorship/Free_Speech o Freedom_of_Information_/_Freedom_of_the_Press o Civil_Rights/Policing o Internet_Policy/Net_Neutrality o Monopolies # Patents # Trademarks # Copyrights * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Kernel_prepatch_6.4-rc6_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ The 6.4-rc6 kernel prepatch is out for testing. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ A_Complete_Guide_to_Viewing_and_Monitoring Error_Logs_in_Ubuntu⠀⇛ It’s extremely frustrating when your computer isn’t working properly and you don’t know why. While there aren’t easy resolutions to every issue you might encounter in Ubuntu, you can use resources like the Ubuntu error logs to troubleshoot and diagnose your PC woes. # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ How_to_Free_Up_Memory_and_Improve_RAM Performance_on_Linux⠀⇛ Is your Linux PC struggling to handle certain resource-intensive programs? Or maybe you frequently find yourself staring at a loading icon for several minutes before your computer does something. Whatever the case, we all want our PCs to perform at their level best. Random Access Memory, or simply RAM, is crucial to having a performant PC, especially when running multiple programs or resource-intensive applications. Here are some ways to improve RAM performance on Linux. # ⚓ Chris Coyier ☛ Modern_CSS_in_Real_Life⠀⇛ By any measure, CSS has gotten a lot better in recent years. It’s gotten more useful features, better interoperability between browsers, and become easier to learn thanks to a concerted push toward making CSS a cohesive system free of quirks and hacks. What matters though is the real world. Real websites. Real impact on the things we make and the people who use them. It’s working. # ⚓ Computers Are Bad ☛ radio_on_the_tv⠀⇛ Like many people in my generation, my memories of youth are heavily defined by cable television. I was fortunate enough to have a premium cable package in my childhood home, Comcast’s early digital service based on Motorola equipment. It included a perk that fascinated me but never made that much sense: Music Choice. Music Choice was around 20 channels, somewhere in the high numbers, of still images with music. It was really ad-free, premium radio, but in the era before widespread adoption of SiriusXM that wasn’t an easy product to explain. And SiriusXM, of course, has found its success selling services to moving customers. Music Choice was stuck in your home. The vast majority of Music Choice customers must have had it only as part of a cable package, and part of it that they probably barely even noticed. # ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ Minute_Rice,_Minute_Text,_Minute_Websites⠀⇛ There’s an interesting parallel here, I think, to claims about how fast you can scaffold a website. X framework or Y host allows you to go from zero to a beautiful, functional (probably cloned from a template) website in “three easy steps”. The idea being, however implicit, that “in as little as three easy steps” you’re 90% of the way to something unique and special. # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Get_Array_Length_in_Bash⠀⇛ When you are dealing with arrays in bash, you may find yourself in a situation where you need to find the array length. # ⚓ Ubuntubuzz ☛ Download_Debian_12_LTS_“Bookworm”_Full Editions_with_Mirrors,_Torrents_and_Checksums [Ed: Where to get Debian]⠀⇛ # ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ How_To_Dual_Boot_Windows_And_Debian⠀⇛ This is a comprehensive guide explaining the step- by-step procedure to set up Dual Boot Windows and Debian 12. Our focus in this guide will be on the new Debian release version 12 code-named Bookworm. Dual-booting Debian 12 and Windows will give you the choice to switch between Windows and Debian Linux leveraging the power of both worlds. # ⚓ How_to_Download_Older_Versions_of_Google_Chrome⠀⇛ The topic for this article might sound preposterous and make you recoil with concern. Just why would anyone want to downgrade an application that works just fine, much less a web browser? As we know, the current tech space is swarming with a myriad of security threats that are constantly prowling for vulnerabilities and loopholes that are, in most cases, found in older software versions. o § WINE or Emulation⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Wine_8.10_brings_mouse_cursor_clipping improvements⠀⇛ Another development release has landed for the compatibility layer Wine with 8.10 out now, here’s a run over what’s new and improved in the latest. Once a year a new stable release is made with the next being Wine 9.0, and Wine is just one part of what allows Steam Play Proton to play some of the biggest games around on Linux desktop and Steam Deck. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ You’ll_be_building_your_own_dungeons_in Quest_Master⠀⇛ Quest Master is an upcoming dungeon-designing sandbox adventure from Skydevilpalm, Julian Creutz and Apogee Entertainment. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Unsettling_first-person_exploration_game Interior_Worlds_gets_a_Linux_version⠀⇛ Interior Worlds is a strange and unsettling liminal spaces game that arms you with a mysterious camera. It’s quite atmospheric and full of secrets to discover. They recently put up a Native Linux build which didn’t initially work due to some missing bits (Unity being odd) but they’ve now managed to solve the issues and so it works out of the box. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Klei_Entertainment_announced_space_survival game_Dread_Pilots⠀⇛ I love pretty much everything Klei Entertainment make and Dread Pilots looks great, a space survival game where you’re exploring a mysterious and hostile pocket universe called the Dread. From the creators of Don’t Starve, Griftlands and Oxygen Not Included – you know it’s likely to be good. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Noxious_Weeds:_Prologue_is_a_farming_themed Vampire_Survivors⠀⇛ You retired and wanted to farm but evil creatures just won’t leave you in peace, now you have to defend your farm with the help of some veggies. Noxious Weeds: Prologue is the latest take on the craze of Vampire Survivors. Inspired also by the likes of Brotato and Risk of Rain the developer says. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Valheim_gets_upgraded_to_improve performance_and_fix_major_bugs⠀⇛ Iron Gate have now released the latest update to Valheim, their co-op open world survival game and it should be good for all players. This is not a content upgrade but rather a tech upgrade, aimed at just improving the overall experience. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ GOG_Summer_Sale_2023_is_live_with_giveaways and_game_deals⠀⇛ Another chance for you to score some goodies, and check out some good discounts with the GOG Summer Sale 2023 now live. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ First_Look_at_risiOS:_Fedora_Linux_Remix_with_a_Few Tricks_Under_Its_Sleeve⠀⇛ risiOS promotes itself as a Fedora Linux-based distribution designed to make it easier to set up and modernize the Fedora Workstation experience, which features the GNOME desktop environment. For that, risiOS comes with a collection of tools and a customized GNOME Shell interface that should make Fedora Linux more appealing to newcomers who want a modern Linux desktop experience. o ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ There_are_two_levels_of_isolation_when building_Linux_packages⠀⇛ Neither RPM nor Debian packages provide hermetic builds out of the box. For RPMs, mock provides an all-in-one solution that’s generally very easy to use. Debian has the sbuild collection of tools (also, sbuild(1)) that, based on my reading, provide the tools you need to do this (I only recently found out about sbuild and haven’t tried to use it). If there is a convenient mock-like front end to sbuild and its other tools, I haven’t spotted it in Internet searches so far. Ubuntu does have a Setting up sbuild document that makes it look fairly straightforward. o ⚓ dahliaOS:_The_Responsive_and_Secure_Operating_System_You_Need⠀⇛ Having been a Linux user for what feels like an eternity, there have always been instances where I felt why do we have just Linux dominating. Granted it’s open-source which is great and of course, there’s the Unix family but we cannot exactly claim Unix to be fully open-source – considering the Open Group relationship. Even though we have the BSD family of truly free and open-source Unix operating systems including OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, etc there is a need to be skeptical about these systems and their interoperability with the future of IoT devices that will continue to define the landscape of technology going into the future. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Kenma ☛ I_did_it,_I_switched_to_FreeBSD⠀⇛ For about these past 3 months or so (perhaps even more?) I’ve become increasingly umconfortable with using Linux as my main operating system – from the oversized package counts and Python-unfriendliness (when it comes to desktop usage anyway) of the Debian family to the obligation to run the absolute latest versions of every base element of your system and update every week if you don’t want to spend entire days trying to fix your installation in Arch and everything in between, I have been increasingly wanting to move to a more coherent system, an operating system that would be structured properly as opposed to a bunch of basic tools that have been patched on top of each other and an OS that would allow me to customize my workflow with as little extra fluff as possible while simultaneously keeping a base system that won’t change until the next major release. …and from there, enter FreeBSD. # ⚓ MWL ☛ Tomorrow_night:_mug.org_talk_on_OpenBSD_Filesystems⠀⇛ I’ll be doing my talk about OpenBSD filesystems tomorrow night, for mug.org‘s online meeting. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Debian_releases_version_12_after_21_months_of development⠀⇛ “The Debian Astro Blend continues to provide a one- stop solution for professional astronomers, enthusiasts, and hobbyists with updates to almost all versions of the software packages in the blend. astap and planetary-system-stacker help with image stacking and astrometry resolution. openvlbi, the open source correlator, is now included. “Support for Secure Boot on ARM64 has been reintroduced: users of UEFI-capable ARM64 hardware can boot with Secure Boot mode enabled to take full advantage of the security feature.” Debian has three streams of development. The stable version adds security updates during its lifetime; however, one is stuck with quite old software until a new version lands. There is a second stream called testing, in which the software is much more recent and things are not overly prone to breakage. A third stream, unstable, is meant for highly experienced users, people who can keep fixing their systems if they break. Debian can be installed from a Blu-ray Disc, DVD, CD, USB stick, or via a network connection and images are available from the project website. Users can update by using the apt package management tool. # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Tails_5.14_Brings_Automatic_LUKS2_Migration, Captive_Portal_Detection⠀⇛ Last month, the Tails 5.13 release enabled LUKS2 encryption by default for all new Persistent Storage and encrypted volumes with the promise that future releases will also support migration for existing Persistent Storage and encrypted volumes from LUKS1 to LUKS2. Tails 5.14 is now here with automatic migration to LUKS2 and Argon2id for users of Tails 5.12 or previous versions. Even if LUKS2 offers stronger encryption, the devs recommend users to also change the passphrase of their Persistent Storage and other LUKS-encrypted volumes. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu Fridge ☛ The_Fridge:_Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue 791⠀⇛ Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 791 for the week of June 4 – 10, 2023. The full version of this issue is available here. # ⚓ Ubuntu News ☛ Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue_791⠀⇛ # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ Setting_Up_Ubuntu_Docker_Container_with_SSH Access⠀⇛ Docker is an open-source platform that allows developers to automate the deployment, scaling, and management of applications. It does so by creating lightweight, self-sufficient containers, that can run virtually anywhere. # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_Blog:_Canonical_at_HPE_Discover_2023⠀⇛ Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, is proud to sponsor HPE Discover this year again and have a presence at the Expo.

Anbox Cloud is a Canonical offering which lets you stream mobile apps securely, at any scale, to any device letting you focus on your apps. It is tailor made for delivering mobile app content independent of the end user’s device capabilities by offloading the compute, storage, and energy intensive applications from end device to HPE Infrastructure. There is a need for communications service providers (CSPs) to look beyond mere connectivity to become digital service providers by optimizing their current legacy hardware to improve service and costs and create value from newer, innovative operating models and service offers. To achieve this, the CSPs require programmable infrastructure, operations automation, and the capacity to deliver on-demand services. These validated designs with Canonical Kubernetes and OpenStack are developed in close technical collaboration with Canonical and include container technology to allow multiple and isolated applications to run on a single OS and shared kernel. It also provides an integrated cloud-native platform that deploys an OpenStack cluster on dedicated physical servers. # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_Blog:_Minimising_latency_in_your_edge_cloud with_real-time_kernel⠀⇛ From applications in telecommunications to edge cloud and industrial digital twins, experimenting with real-time capabilities in cloud technologies is a trend in the industry. Applications for the edge often have an additional requirement as they interact with real-time systems: they need to run deterministically. It means that time constraints their execution and interaction within the system. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ You_Can_Install_Linux_On_Your_Old_Nintendo_Wii_ (But_You_Probably_Shouldn’t)⠀⇛ A PC’s operating system, when you drill right down to the nuts and bolts, is just a way of getting the user access to their desired functions. Whether it runs macOS, iOS, Windows, Android, or something else, a given device will use whichever system the creator happened to pick for it. It will, generally speaking, go through a wide range of iterations throughout its life, in the name of usability, security, future-proofing, and so on. More advanced users have the knowledge to migrate an OS to another hard drive, or to replace a given one with a relatively obscure one such as Linux’s Ubuntu, if it’s their preference. Tinkerers find that a lot of systems are surprisingly forgiving when it comes to such experimentation, a line of thought that has actually led to the installation of Linux on the Nintendo Wii. # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ 2.5”_Pico-ITX_SBC_is_equipped_with_MediaTek Genio_1200_and_supports_ROS2⠀⇛ The board supports multiple operating systems, including Ubuntu, Yocto Linux, and Android, providing flexibility for different application requirements. Moreover, the company states the following: “As for robotics development, the RSB- 3810 is designed to facilitate seamless integration with the ROS2 Suite. This comprehensive software package, built on Advantech’s AIM-Linux embedded software, is specifically tailored to support Robot Operating System (ROS) environments.” # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ CompuLab_UCM-iMX93_–_A_miniature_NXP_i.MX_93 module_with_WiFi_5_&_Bluetooth_5.3⠀⇛ Compulab provides support for mainline Linux, the Yocto Project, and an RTOS via full Board Support Packages (BSPs) and ready-to-run images. Its feature set, low cost, and small size make the UCM- iMX93 suitable for building and industrial control, medical devices, IoT gateways, and measurement equipment. The company also offers a development kit based on the SB-UCMIMX93 carrier board with Gigabit Ethernet, USB ports, MIPI CSI and LVDS display interfaces. a MIPI CSI camera interface, a mini PCIe socket for optional 4G LTE connectivity, RS485 and RS232 serial interfaces, CAN Bus, and more. # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ 2.5”_Pico-ITX_SBC_is_equipped_with_MediaTek Genio_1200_and_supports_ROS2⠀⇛ A few weeks ago, Advantech released a compact single board computer built on the MediaTek Genio 1200 Octa-core processor with a 4.8 TOPs AI processing unit (APU). The SBC also supports Wi-Fi 6 and 5G connectivity for demanding IoT applications. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Purism ☛ PureOS_10.3_Power_Optimization⠀⇛ With PureOS 10.3, power saving and new goodies is the name of the game. Most companies abandon hardware soon after launch, but we have a different approach with the Librem 5. With every upgrade to PureOS we push on the Librem 5, the more the device can do and the more efficient it gets. One key method for a better battery life is Suspending while tucked away. Suspend, Wake up. The L5 suspend resume is now very quick, incoming calls or texts arrive nearly as rapidly as before, imperceptible to the user in speed. Without suspend, the Librem 5 can idle for around 10 hours; with suspend running, you can get upwards of 20 hours. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Helps_Submarine_Simulator Explore_for_Wildlife⠀⇛ You can find tons of simulation games on the market today, ranging from tractors to goats, but there’s an entirely different side of simulators that is far more immersive. Today we’re sharing with you an extraordinary creation put together by a team known as The Explorandia Association. This team has developed a wonderful submarine simulator that takes you through an actual pond in real time with a bit of help from a Raspberry Pi 3B. # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Factory_tour_with_Jeff_Geerling⠀⇛ We had a visitor at Pi Towers last month. YouTuber Jeff Geerling, who we’re all a little starstruck by, came to the UK for a whistlestop tour. He took in our offices in Cambridge and (most interesting of all for you, dear readers) the factory in Pencoed, South Wales, where Raspberry Pis are built. # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Introducing_the_[Raspberry_Pi]_Hello_World newsletter⠀⇛ Sign up to get news and insights about computing education from Hello World and the Foundation in your inbox every month. # ⚓ Doug Brown ☛ Upgrading_my_Chumby_8_kernel_part_5: graphics⠀⇛ I started out with U-Boot. As a very basic overview of the LCD controller in the PXA168, basically you just set aside some of your RAM for a framebuffer, copy image data into it, tell the controller the format and address of the framebuffer, set up the clocking and timing, and turn it on. Then it just handles everything in the background for you. The steps I listed above are overly simplified — there is more stuff going on with the PXA168’s display controller. But it’s enough to get a splash screen working in U-Boot. I booted into the old kernel and dumped the LCD registers using devmem. Here’s an example of this process. The LCD_SPU_DMA_CTRL0 register contains a bunch of format configuration bits for the framebuffer, such as which bits are red/green/blue. It’s at offset 0×190 in the LCD controller, and the LCD controller is located at an offset of 0xD420B000, so I could dump the 32-bit register value with this command: [...] # ⚓ SparkFun Electronics ☛ 2023-06-09_[Older]_Photoacoustic Revolution_with_SCD4x⠀⇛ o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux On Mobile ☛ 2023-06-04_[Older]_Weekly_GNU-like_Mobile Linux_Update_(22/2023):_Phosh_0.28.0_and_an_U-boot_boot_menu for_the_PinePhone_Pro⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Phone Apps ☛ 2023-06-04_[Older]_Better_packaging information:_Thank_you,_Repology!⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Central ☛ Google_Keep’s_new_handy_tile_arrives_for eligible_Wear_OS_watches_|_Android_Central⠀⇛ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ Google_opens_Android_14_Beta_3_feedback survey⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Central ☛ Moto_G_5G_(2023)_vs._OnePlus_Nord_N30_5G |_Android_Central⠀⇛ # ⚓ PC World ☛ Share_your_Wi-Fi_password_in_seconds_with Android_QR_codes_|_PCWorld⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Sun ☛ Check_your_Android_device_now_for_‘secret_app permission_change’_that_adjusts_phone_without_you_noticing_| The_US_Sun⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Sun ☛ Billions_of_Android_users_warned_to_delete_60,000 apps_‘secretly_installing_malware’_–_check_your_phone_for them_now_|_The_US_Sun⠀⇛ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ How_To_Turn_On_Your_Android_Phone’s Flashlight⠀⇛ # ⚓ Geeky Gadgets ☛ How_to_screen_record_on_Android_–_Geeky Gadgets⠀⇛ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ Android_subreddits_go_offline_in_protest_of Reddit_API⠀⇛ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ Android_Beta_subreddit_is_for_Pixel,_improves submission_process⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ APNIC ☛ Register_now_for_APNIC_56_in_Kyoto⠀⇛ Registration is now open for APNIC 56 in Kyoto, Japan, from 7 to 14 September 2023 at the Kyoto International Conference Center (ICC Kyoto). APNIC 56 is proudly hosted by the Japan Network Information Center (JPNIC). The APNIC 56 technical workshops will be held from 7 to 10 September and will provide participants with hands-on training to build and manage Internet infrastructure. o ⚓ Mozilla ☛ An_online_creative_on_tackling_our_‘mixed_feelings’_on the_internet⠀⇛ Here at Mozilla, we are the first to admit the internet isn’t perfect, but we are also quick to point out that the internet is pretty darn magical. The internet opens up doors and opportunities, allows for people to connect with others, and lets everyone find where they belong — their corners of the internet. We all have an internet story worth sharing. In My Corner Of The Internet, we talk with people about the online spaces they can’t get enough of, what we should save in Pocket to read later, and what sites and forums shaped them. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Kev Quirk ☛ The_Blank_Box⠀⇛ I do enjoy the process of writing. I fire up my text editor of choice, Typora and away I go. Most of the time I have a topic in my grey matter that I want to write about, and if I don’t, something usually comes to me pretty quickly. Which topics to cover aren’t something I usually dwell on. Today I feel like writing, but I have nothing to write about. I’ve been staring at Typora’s abyssal blank screen for a little while now, but my grey matter remains as abyssal as the screen I’m staring at. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ mail2code_lets_you_program_via_email⠀⇛ The aptly named “mail2code” project is based around an Arduino Uno Rev3 board, which has been connected to a wide variety of peripherals to help students and hobbyists alike learn different hardware. The setup includes a DC motor attached to a central gear and a faster gear for exploring motors and interrupts, an array of eight LEDs that can act as a binary counter, a die face to explore random numbers, and a stepper motor with an accompanying Hall effect sensor that is used to learn analog signals in response to rotation. # ⚓ Fernando Borretti ☛ Second-Class_References⠀⇛ This post is about the idea of doing away with lifetimes in Rust, what that would bring to the table and how much it would cost. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Use_Excel_to_load_Commodore_64_software [Ed: No Microsoft, please? Use ODF and Free software.]⠀⇛ Loading software on a vintage computer, such as a Commodore 64, is a pain. Early eight-bit computers almost never contained any onboard persistent storage, so users had to load software from external media like cassette tapes. # § Perl / Raku⠀➾ # ⚓ Chris ☛ Latent_Semantic_Analysis_in_Perl⠀⇛ I’m currently a little into quantitative text analysis. Not big time, but a little. A nice end goal, that I have no intention of reaching, would be a script that can suggest if a cluster of articles on this site seem similar but don’t share a tag, or if there’s a tag that might as well not exist because it’s applied to a very broad range of articles. This would help me maintain the tags that are currently assigned completely manually and, as the observant reader has noticed, rather arbitrarily. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ High_Voltage_Ion_Engines_Take_Trip_On_The_High_Seas⠀⇛ Over the last several months, we’ve been enjoying a front-row seat as [Jay Bowles] of Plasma Channel has been developing and perfecting his design for a high voltage multi-stage ionic thruster. With each installment, the unit has become smaller, lighter, and more powerful. Which is important, as the ultimate goal is to power an RC aircraft with them. o ⚓ The Nation ☛ Late_Call⠀⇛ o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ 2023-06-07_[Older]_Brightest_cosmic explosion_of_all_time:_how_we_may_have_solved_the_mystery_of its_puzzling_persistence⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ 2023-06-07_[Older]_Why_we’re_searching for_the_evolutionary_origins_of_masturbation_–_and_the results_so_far⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Conversation ☛ 2023-06-06_[Older]_How_understanding plant_body_clocks_could_help_transform_how_food_is_grown⠀⇛ o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Reason ☛ Did_NYC_Schools_Retaliate_Against_Parents_Who Asked_Too_Many_Questions?⠀⇛ According to The 74, NYC school employees made 6,500 reports of abuse or neglect to ACS from September 2022 to February 2023, but only 15 percent of them were found to be substantiated. Parents of students with disabilities were at the center of 22 percent of those reports—though disabled children only comprise 21 percent of the student body. Anna Arons, a New York University law professor, speculated that the actual share of calls relating to students with disabilities is likely higher, due to school employees’ failure to mention a student’s disability in the report. “It’s probably a pretty serious undercount,” Arons told The 74. Now, some parents are claiming that, after they pushed back against their school’s treatment of their disabled children, school officials retaliated by filing unsubstantiated ACS reports against them, sparking extended, invasive investigations that left families feeling traumatized. # ⚓ Frank Delporte ☛ One_Year_as_a_Technical_Writer_at_Azul:_A Journey_of_Growth_and_Learning.⠀⇛ Writing has always been my passion, and even in my previous jobs as a developer, I stood out as the one who enjoyed creating and maintaining documentation. But June 9th, 2023, marked my first birthday as a full-time technical writer at Azul. Yes, it’s already a year ago that I changed from being a developer-who-also-writes to a writer-who- also-develops. Let’s take a moment to reflect on my incredible journey over the past year. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Former_exec_accused_of_trying_to_clone entire_Samsung_chip_fab_on_Chinese_soil⠀⇛ Ironically, it appears the plans to build a doppelganger of Samsung’s manufacturing plant may have foundered only because a Taiwanese company reversed its decision to invest $6.2 billion in the project. Samsung told us it had “no comment” at this time. These revelations are likely to be seized upon by parties such as the US government which have previously warned that Beijing is attempting to build up its semiconductor capabilities by any means possible, even if that means stealing advanced technology from other countries. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Passionate_Hams_Make_Their_Mark_On_The_Hack Chat⠀⇛ Let’s be honest — there are some not very pleasant stereotypes associated with amateur radio, at least if you ask outsiders. Hams are often thought of as being in two camps: old guys who can’t figure out modern technology or conspiracy theorists who think their knowledge of radio will give them an edge after the world becomes a post-apocalyptic hellscape. We’ll leave it to you to decide which is the worse brush to be painted with. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_489_Megapixel_Camera_For_Not_A_Lot⠀⇛ The megapixel wars of a decade ago saw cameras aggressively marketed on the resolution of their sensors, but as we progressed into the tens of megapixels it became obvious even to consumers that perhaps there might be a little more to the quality of a digital camera than just its resolution. Still, it’s a frontier that still has a way to go, even if [Yunus Zenichowski]’s 489 megapixel prototype is a bit of an outlier. As some of you may have guessed it’s a scanner camera, in which the sensor is a linear CCD that is mechanically traversed over the focal plane to capture the image line by line. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Blind_Camera:_Visualizing_A_Scene_From_Its Sounds_Alone⠀⇛ When we see a photograph or photo of a scene, we can likely imagine what sounds would go with it, but what if this gets inverted, and we have to imagine the scene that goes with the sounds? How close would we get to reconstructing the scene in our mind, without the biases of our upbringing and background rendering this into a near-impossible task? This is essentially the focus of a project by [Diego Trujillo Pisanty] which he calls Blind Camera. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Ride-On_Picnic_Table_For_Those_Idylic_Summer Evenings⠀⇛ For most outsiders the Netherlands is a country of picturesque cities, windmills, tulips, and maybe those famous coffee shops. Head away from the coast though and you enter the country’s rural hinterland, farming country with lush green fields, dairy cattle, and farm lads doing what they do best, which is hacking old machinery to do crazy things under those wide skies. [Plodno] are based on a farm somewhere in the eastern Netherlands, and the latest of these lads’ creations is a motorised picnic table (Dutch language, you’ll need YouTube translated subtitles). # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Do_Not_Attempt_Disassembly:_Analog_Wizardry_In_A 1960s_Counter⠀⇛ [CuriousMarc] is back with more vintage HP hardware repair. This time it’s the HP 5245L, a digital nixie-display frequency counter from 1963. This unit is old enough to be entirely made of discrete components, but has a real trick up its sleeve, with add-on components pushing the frequency range all the way up to 18 Ghz. But this poor machine was in rough shape. There were previous repair attempts, some of which had to be re-fixed with proper components. When it hit [Marc]’s shop, the oscillator was working, as well as the frequency divider, but the device wasn’t counting, and the reference frequencies weren’t testing good at the front of the machine. There were some of the usual suspects, like blown transistors. But things got really interesting when one of the boards had a couple of tarnished transistors, and a handful of nice shiny new ones — but maybe not all the right transistors. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ CBC ☛ 2023-06-04_[Older]_The_FDA_says_people_are_confusing poppers_with_energy_shots,_and_dying._Experts_want_proof⠀⇛ # ⚓ France24 ☛ UK_Covid_pandemic_inquiry_to_open_as_victims’ relatives_condemn_‘farce’⠀⇛ An inquiry probing the UK government’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic kicks off Tuesday with the investigation mired in controversy even before the first witness is called. # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Open_Democracy_crowdfunds_dedicated_Covid inquiry_journalists⠀⇛ Open Democracy hopes to afford to send a journalist to every day of the Covid-19 inquiry. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Can_the_Rich_and_Powerful_Live_Forever?⠀⇛ A few weeks ago, Bloomberg profiled Bryan Johnson, the 45-year-old tech entrepreneur who harvests his 17-year-old son’s blood in a medically dubious anti-aging treatment known as “plasma-swapping.” He calls it Project Blueprint. Others have compared it to the “blood boy” arc from Silicon Valley. In any case, his goal is simple: to look 18 again. o § Proprietary⠀➾ # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Reddit_users_come_together_in_protest_after highly_unpopular_API_changes⠀⇛ At least 7,000 pages engaged in voluntary blackouts, which restrict the public from seeing those pages. This included the r/todayilearned, r/ funny, and r/gaming subreddits which, between them, have about 30 million subscribers. The blackout included smaller forums, which together also have millions of subscribers. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ What_Would_Aaron_Swartz_Think_Of_Reddit’s Ridiculous_New_Direction?⠀⇛ Aaron Swartz was, perhaps by technicality, a co- founder of Reddit. The more complete story is that he was working on a different project, infogami, that got merged into Reddit, which was created by Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman, but it’s been said that part of the deal was that all three would get founder credit. Years later, Huffman insisted that Swartz wasn’t really a co-founder and shouldn’t be called such. But, still, Swartz’s views on access to information were certainly a compelling part of early Reddit’s existence. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ [Computer]-Generated_Steganography⠀⇛ New_research suggests that AIs can produce perfectly secure steganographic images: Abstract: Steganography is the practice of encoding secret information into innocuous content in such a manner that an adversarial third party would not realize that there is hidden meaning. While this problem has classically been studied in security literature, recent advances in generative models have led to a shared interest among security and machine learning researchers in developing scalable steganography techniques.

Almost as bad as it gets apparently. 10 is the max as you might recall. When realizing this, at the end of May, I first fell off my chair in shock by this insanity, but after a quick recovery I emailed them (again) and complained (yet again) on setting this severity for *27536. I used the word “ridiculous” in my email to describe their actions. Why and who benefits from them scaremongering the world like this? It makes no sense. On the contrary, this is bad for everyone. As a reaction to my complaint, someone at NVD went back and agreed to revise the CVSS string they had set and suddenly it was “only” ranked HIGH 7.2. I say “someone” because they never communicate with names and never sign the emails which whomever I talk to. They are just “NVD”. I objected to their new CVSS string as well. It is just not a high severity security problem! In my new argument I changed two particular details in the CVSS string (compared to the one they insisted was good) and presented arguments for that. For your pleasure, I include my exact wording belo # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Intellihartx_Informs_490k_Patients_of GoAnywhere-Related_Data_Breach⠀⇛ Intellihartx says the personal information of roughly 490,000 individuals was compromised in the GoAnywhere zero-day attack earlier this year. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Software_Supply_Chain:_The_Golden_Container Ship⠀⇛ By having a golden image you will put a process in place that allows you to quickly take action when a vulnerability is found within your organization. # ⚓ Pen Test Partners ☛ WhosHere_Plus._Trilateration vulnerability⠀⇛ WhosHere Plus is a dating app that uses GPS data to recommend users near to each other, based on similar interests. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ New_MOVEit_Vulnerabilities_Found_as_More Zero-Day_Attack_Victims_Come_Forward⠀⇛ Researchers discover new MOVEit vulnerabilities related to the zero-day, just as more organizations hit by the attack are coming forward. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Swiss_Fear_Government_Data_Stolen_in Cyberattack⠀⇛ Switzerland said government operational data might have been stolen in a ransomware attack on a technology firm that provides software for several departments. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Fortinet_Patches_Critical_FortiGate_SSL_VPN Vulnerability⠀⇛ Fortinet has patched CVE-2023-27997, a critical FortiGate SSL VPN vulnerability that can be exploited for unauthenticated remote code execution. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ State_Court_Tells_Cops_Getting_A_Warrant Two_Years_After_An_Illegal_Phone_Search_Doesn’t Suddenly_Make_The_Search_Legal⠀⇛ The Supreme Court’s Riley decision has been the law of the land since 2014. If cops want to search seized cell phones, they need a warrant. Nearly a decade on, cops are still violating it. The inability to follow the rules has seen evidence in this criminal case (brought to us by FourthAmendment.com) tossed twice. # ⚓ IETF ☛ Reflections_on_Ten_Years_Past_The_Snowden Revelations⠀⇛ On June 6th, 2013, an article appeared in The Guardian [guard2013] that was the beginning of a series of what have come to be known as revelations about the activities of the United States National Security Agency (NSA). These activities included, amongst others, secret court orders, secret agreements for the receipt of so-called “meta-information” that includes source, destination, and timing of communications, tapping of communications lines, and other activities. The breathtaking scope of the operations shocked the Internet technical community, and led to a sea change within the IETF, IAB, and many parts of the private sector. Now that some years have past, it seems appropriate to reflect on that period of time, what effect the community’s actions had, where security has improved, how the threat surface has evolved, what areas haven’t improved, and where the community might invest future efforts. Bruce Schneier begins this compendium of individual essays by bringing us back to 2013, recalling how it was for him and others to report what was happening, and the mindset of those involved. Next, Stephen Farrell reviews the technical community’s reactions, technical advances, and where threats remain. Then Farzaneh Badii discusses the impact of those advances – or lack thereof – on human rights. Finally Steven M. Bellovin puts the Snowden revelations into an ever-evolving historical context of secrets and secret stealing that spans centuries, closing with some suggestions for IETF. Readers are invited to reflect for themselves on what impact we as a community have had – or not had, and what positive contribution the technical community can and should make to address security and privacy of citizens of the world. # ⚓ Tor ☛ Comcast_blocks_ALL_traffic_with_tor_relays⠀⇛ I am pretty sure that the blocking is done by Comcast and is triggered by being in public list of tor relays. The blocking disappeared after I stopped my tor relay and restarted my router (thus getting a new external IPv4 address). After 1 day, I relaunched the tor relay, and the blocking reappeared a few hours later. It was also confirmed by the said operator of the lightning node, who said there were various rounds of blocking tor, customers complaining and Comcast lifting the block for some time, only to reinstate the blocking later. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Council_On_Foreign_Relations_Burns_EARN_IT To_The_Ground_In_Powerful_Post_Criticizing_Its_Anti- Encryption_Aims⠀⇛ The EARN IT Act (the tortured acronym stands for Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies Act) has been bad news ever since its introduction way back in March of 2020. The bill’s original backers were all people who either hated encryption (AG Bill Barr, Sen.

I’m an environmental attorney, but this time, I’m headed to court in a different capacity — as a mom. # ⚓ Vox ☛ Why_Montana_kids_are_suing_the_state_over_climate change⠀⇛ Montana is a major coal exporter and has the largest coal reserves in the United States. The coal industry has also been a boon for the local economy: Jobs in the coal industry pay about 30 percent more than the median income in the state. The outcome of this case could impact coal’s place in the local economy. At the same time, preserving the environment makes economic sense for Montana, too. Outdoor recreation is a $7.1 billion dollar industry there. Camping, hiking, fly fishing, and other outdoor activities draw tourists to the state. Critics of the state’s current energy policy point toward green energy like wind turbines as a possible economic alternative to fossil fuels. This case could also set a precedent, creating a legal roadmap for similar challenges at a crucial time. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the UN’s goal to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will be out of reach unless drastic changes are made in the next two years. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ A_Landmark_Youth_Climate_Trial_Begins_in Montana⠀⇛ Environmental advocates believe such a finding could put pressure on government leaders in Montana and elsewhere to take action on curbing emissions. They are also hopeful that the judge could order the state to consider climate impacts when approving new projects. The effects of a warming climate are already spreading across Montana, including shrinking glaciers at Glacier National Park and a lengthening wildfire season that threatens the state’s treasured outdoor pastimes. The plaintiffs in the case have said that the state’s inaction on climate change threatens their ability to access clean water, sustain family ranches or continue hunting traditions. # ⚓ YLE ☛ Emergency_services_tackle_wildfires_across_Finland over_the_weekend,_FMI_expands_fire_warnings⠀⇛ Firefighters dealt with about 20 blazes on Sunday alone, as dry conditions and strong winds heighten risks of forest and brush fires getting out of control. # ⚓ US News And World Report ☛ 2023-06-11_[Older]_Youth Environmentalists_Bring_Montana_Climate_Case_to_Trial_After 12_Years,_Seeking_to_Set_Precedent⠀⇛ # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ 2023-06-09_[Older]_Beltway_Media_Is Being_Sponsored_by_Fossil_Fuel_Cash⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2023-06-09_[Older]_Could_a_4-day_workweek help_the_climate?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Green Party UK ☛ 2023-06-09_[Older]_Green_Party_condemns Labour’s_u-turn_on_climate_investment_pledge⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Local SE ☛ 2023-06-09_[Older]_Greta_Thunberg_holds final_school_strike_for_climate⠀⇛ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2023-06-09_[Older]_If_you_can’t_breathe_well,_neither can_your_pet⠀⇛ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2023-06-09_[Older]_Wildfire_smoke_reminded_people about_climate_change._How_soon_will_they_forget?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ 2023-06-08_[Older]_Oliver_Stone_Goes Nuclear⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2023-06-08_[Older]_El_Nino_climate_pattern returns,_extreme_conditions_feared⠀⇛ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ 2023-06-08_[Older]_100 Independent_restaurants_to_receive_grant_for_sustainable packaging_to_help_fight_climate_change⠀⇛ # ⚓ Vox ☛ 2023-06-08_[Older]_You_don’t_like_smoke?_This wildfire_scientist_has_some_bad_news.⠀⇛ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2023-06-07_[Older]_German_wine:_Could climate_change_be_an_opportunity?⠀⇛ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ 2023-06-07_[Older]_Reset Connect,_London_Climate_Action_Week’s_biggest_event,_to return_on_the_27th-28th_June⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-06-07_[Older]_Dozens_of_cars_left_with_flat_tyres_in Copenhagen_in_apparent_climate_protest⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Nation ☛ What_We_Can_Learn_From_the_Canadian Wildfires⠀⇛ In September 2020, West Coast wildfires spread smoke that blackened the skies of the East Coast.

In the comic, several giant robots — led by Battery Bot — are defending the city of Neo Toronto from an attack by Exhaust-o-Saurus. Battery Bot is low on power and his comrades Solar Bot and Wind Bot are unable to help him recharge — owing to cloud cover and a lack of breeze, respectively. Exhaust-o-Saurus mocks the trio by saying “nothing can match the dispatchable, instant power of fossil fuels!” at which point Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bot enters the battle to save the day. # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ ‘We_Have_to_Stop_Demonising_Oil_and_Gas’ Jacob_Rees-Mogg_Told_UAE_Investment_Chief⠀⇛ Jacob Rees-Mogg spoke of his desire for people to “stop demonising oil and gas” in a private meeting with the head of the United Arab Emirates’s state investment company while serving as Business and Energy Secretary, DeSmog can reveal. Rees-Mogg agreed with Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak that “hydrocarbons need to be part of the [energy] solution”. He also suggested that the UK and UAE could collaborate more closely on the development of nuclear small modular reactors, and the production of hydrogen – a technology described by critics as a fossil-fuel industry “delay tactic”. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ America’s_Dangerous_Trucks:_ProPublica, FRONTLINE_Investigate_Underride_Crashes⠀⇛ An average of about 5,000 people a year are killed in crashes involving large trucks, a death toll that has soared by almost 50% since 2011, according to the most recent federal data.

Even if it’s a 50 cc moped, no other motorcycle you will own afterwards will give you that same hit as the first time you sit astride it and open the throttle. It has to be admitted though, that 50 cc mopeds are slow if it’s not your first ever ride. Really slow. How can they be made faster? Perhaps an extra cylinder will do the trick.

What’s the scam? The scam is that maybe tax dodging by large corporations is now even frowned upon by company shareholders. A motion by a pension fund shareholder at the Toronto general meeting calling for great tax transparency has attracted 27% support, equivalent to one third of independent shareholders. Brookfield has taken over Healthscope, AusNet and Aveo in recent years. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Gas_boss_calls_for_‘honest dialogue’_on_energy_change⠀⇛ Speed up investment and cut red tape around building the transmission for renewable energy to power new jobs, or risk falling behind, the industry has warned. “Australia’s prosperity and quality of life depend on the decisions that everyone in this room makes now as leaders,” Paul Gleeson, head of energy at engineering giant Aurecon, told a business summit at federal parliament. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Rio_Tinto_deepens_pact_with world’s_biggest_steelmaker⠀⇛ Iron ore leader Rio Tinto has signed a pact with the world’s biggest steelmaker as investors demand ways to curb the climate impact of the steel and mining industries.

What’s the scam? The scam is that you can’t deliver a guaranteed income from a variable finance product without further complicating an already complicated solution to the housing crisis, without a MacBank- style structure finance element. So now we are facing another box or two for the HAFF flowchart, some sort of derivative to guarantee income from the financial markets. # ⚓ Information Security Media Group, Corporation ☛ Expel_Lays Off_10%_of_Workers_8_Months_After_Hauling_in_$31M⠀⇛ Expel has axed 60 workers just eight months after hauling in $31 million to provide the managed detection and response vendor with a financial cushion. # ⚓ Grubhub_laying_off_15%_of_its_workers:_report⠀⇛ # ⚓ The_Athletic_cuts_nearly_20_jobs,_4%_of_newsroom_for_New York_Times-owned_sports_site⠀⇛ The Athletic, a subscription sports outlet owned by The New York Times, is laying off about 4% of its newsroom staff as part of reorganization efforts, the company confirmed on Monday. The job cuts will impact nearly 20 journalists of The Athletic’s 450-person newsroom. In addition to the layoffs, more than 20 additional reporters from the San Francisco-based outlet will be moved to new assignments, The New York Times reported. The New York Times Co. bought The Athletic for $550 million in January 2022, marking one of the news company’s largest-ever acquisitions.

Businesses have reported a major pullback in forward orders, NAB’s business survey has revealed, which can signal a turnaround in economic activity. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ uni Stanford ☛ Europe’s_biggest_telecoms_are_trying_to trick_the_European_Parliament_into_endorsing_their_proposal to_force_websites_to_pay_them_without_proper_evaluation_and debate._MEPs_shouldn’t_let_them.⠀⇛ Paragraph 44 of the report endorses, in seemingly innocuous language, a radical proposal by ETNO, the lobbying association of Europe’s largest telecom, to force certain websites and apps to pay broadband providers like Telefonica, Orange, and Deutsche Telekom. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ US_Government_Provides_Guidance_on_Software Security_Guarantee_Requirements⠀⇛ The US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has issued new guidance on when and how federal agencies should collect security guarantees from software vendors. Building on the cybersecurity executive order that President Joe Biden signed in May 2021, the OMB last year published a memorandum (M-22-18) requiring federal agencies to obtain from software vendors guarantees that the software they provide is secure. # ⚓ NYPost ☛ Journalists_barred_from_using_cameras,_cellphones in_courthouse_during_Trump_arraignment⠀⇛ “It is ORDERED that on Tuesday, June 13, 2023, all cellular phones and/or electronic equipment are hereby prohibited for news reporters and other members of the media inside the Wilkie D. Ferguson, Jr. United States Courthouse in Miami,” Chief US District Judge Cecilia Altonaga wrote in her ruling on Monday. The judge added that US Marshals Service will “continue to inspect all cellular phones and other electronic equipment as they are brought into the federal courthouse facilities as directed to protect the Bench, Bar, and public from harm” and that anyone violating the order could face punishment up to and including 30 days in jail and $5,000 fine. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Minister_Gallagher_rejects_claims_she misled_parliament⠀⇛ Finance Minister Katy Gallagher has labelled the leaking of text messages between Brittany Higgins and her partner as the “most egregious abuse of privacy”. The senator has denied she misled parliament on her knowledge of Ms Higgins’ 2019 rape allegation before it was made public in 2021. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ AFP_to_investigate_leaked_Higgins messages,_recordings⠀⇛ A political brawl over Brittany Higgins’ rape allegations has spilled into both houses of parliament, as federal police investigate the apparent leak of multiple court documents. Pressure has been mounting on Finance Minister Katy Gallagher, who has denied she misled parliament in 2021 about being aware of the allegations before they were made public. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Gallagher_set_for_grilling_on_Higgins allegations⠀⇛ Finance Minister Katy Gallagher is set to come under heated questioning when parliament resumes on whether she had used rape allegations made by Brittany Higgins for political gain. Senator Gallagher has denied she had misled parliament in 2021 about her knowledge of the allegation made by Ms Higgins before they were made public. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ MPs_defend_conduct_over_Higgins’_rape allegations⠀⇛ A political brawl over Brittany Higgins’ rape allegations has spilled into both houses of parliament, as Finance Minister Katy Gallagher and former prime minister Scott Morrison defend their conduct.  Pressure has been mounting on Senator Gallagher, who has denied she misled parliament in 2021 about being aware of the allegations before they were made public. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Cornel_West_Is_the_Right_Man_in_the_Wrong Party⠀⇛ In announcing that he’s running for president under the auspices of the Movement for a People’s Party (MPP), the distinguished thinker and progressive activist Cornel West has set himself up to be attacked from all sides. For supporters of the Democratic Party, such as my colleague Joan Walsh, West is preparing to act as a spoiler in the mode of Ralph Nader in 2000 and Jill Stein in 2016 by running a campaign that can only siphon off votes from Joe Biden at the risk of handing the presidency to a Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis. But there’s a contrary critique made by people who share West’s desire to create a movement that pressures mainstream Democrats such as Biden to move left. These critics think West has the right goal—but has chosen a deeply damaged vehicle in the People’s Party. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Gambling_With_Democracy⠀⇛ Among its many well-documented deficiencies, Washington, D.C., conspicuously lacks a robust tabloid press. Unlike Britain’s pioneering tabloid scene in London, Washington reporting, tasked with chronicling the fortunes of a putatively more expansive and less class-bound American social order, is a dreary exercise in chin-stroking deference and decorum. This condition is grimly distilled in the self-regarding pomposity of the motto adopted by The Washington Post, the market- dominating broadsheet owned by one of the richest men in the world: “Democracy dies in darkness.” While the city teems with open graft, influence peddling, corporate giveaways, and industry- subsidized think tanks, its reporters tend to cover the city as if it were the Parthenon. The dominant journalistic refrain holds that the people’s tribunes are always and forever seeking some mystic golden mean of self-canceling interests—even when they’re pursuing objectively demented aims, such as hijacking the phony mechanism of the debt ceiling to extort brutal budget cuts in the name of bipartisan comity. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Italy_is_still_paying_for_the_damage_of_the Berlusconi_years⠀⇛ Silvio Berlusconi, who served as Italy’s prime minister four times, is dead at 86. He was one of the most influential figures in the country’s republican history, and the most consequential of the past three decades. None of it was for the better. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Permission_to_Build⠀⇛ We’re covering a faster path to clean energy, the death of Silvio Berlusconi and the Tony Awards. # ⚓ France24 ☛ A_‘fighter’,_a_‘true_friend’:_Global_tributes pour_in_for_Italy’s_Silvio_Berlusconi⠀⇛ Former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, a billionaire businessman who dominated Italy’s political landscape for decades, died on Monday aged 86, drawing tributes from leaders across the world. Italy has declared Wednesday a national day of mourning for Berlusconi, when a state funeral will be held for him in Milan’s Duomo cathedral. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Silvio_Berlusconi,_master_populist_who_dominated Italian_politics,_dies_at_86⠀⇛ Silvio Berlusconi, the billionaire media tycoon and four-time prime minister who brushed off a litany of legal battles and sex scandals to dominate Italian public life for more than two decades, died in Milan on Monday aged 86. The former Italian prime minister will be given a state funeral on Wednesday, which has been declared a day of national mourning. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Before_Trump,_There_Was_Berlusconi⠀⇛ The two tycoons thrived in the borderland of entertainment. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ The_Corrosive_Legacy_of_Silvio_Berlusconi⠀⇛ His demagogic style revolved around self-interest, but he inspired other right-wing populists to bend the rule of law and divide their democracy. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ Silvio_Berlusconi:_A_polarizing_figure_who reshaped_Italian_politics⠀⇛ Silvio Berlusconi, who died Monday, left a lasting impact on Italian politics with his polarizing policies and charismatic personality. His influence extended to his business empire, which now faces an uncertain future. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ How_Silvio_Berlusconi_Changed_Italy⠀⇛ Whether as a politician or media tycoon, the former prime minister and businessman who died Monday at 86, left an imprint, or a bruise, on just about everything he touched. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ The_Many_Scandals_of_Silvio_Berlusconi’s Career⠀⇛ The former prime minister of Italy reveled in the spotlight, even when it shined on him for causing offense. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Silvio_Berlusconi’s_Allies_and_Enemies React_to_His_Death⠀⇛ The former Italian prime minister and media mogul, who died at 86, was a divisive figure, but even his foes acknowledged that he was an influential political and cultural force. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Silvio_Berlusconi,_Polarizing_Former_Prime Minister_of_Italy,_Dies_at_86⠀⇛ He introduced sex and glamour to Italian TV and then brought the same formula to politics, dominating the country and its culture for more than 20 years. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Housing_fund_rejig_as_government_woos Senate_crossbench⠀⇛ The federal government will pitch further changes to its $10 billion housing fund in a last-ditch bid for crossbench support. As parliament returns on Tuesday, crunch time is looming for the Housing Australia Future Fund, with the bill due to hit the Senate in the upcoming sitting fortnight. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ The_Democrat_Taking_Back_Wisconsin⠀⇛ On the morning of the highest-profile state election of 2023, the highest-profile state party chair in the country could have been making the rounds of the cable TV shows that regularly invite him to comment on national politics. He could have been checking in with the Biden White House, where aides closely monitor his work. He could have been cajoling a major donor to steer another check into what has been hailed as one of the most innovative and successful political fundraising operations in American history.1 # ⚓ The Nation ☛ It’ll_Take_More_Than_an_Indictment_to_Make Donald_Trump_Face_Justice⠀⇛ Special counsel Jack Smith has brought charges against former president Donald Trump, breaking the string of federal prosecutors without the courage or commitment to justice to prosecute Trump for the many crimes he’s committed in plain sight. The 37- count indictment handed down by a Miami grand jury deals with Trump’s alleged mishandling of sensitive documents. I feared that Smith would be an updated version of Bob Mueller, but this indictment puts those concerns to rest. I’m happy to have been wrong about him. As near as I can tell, no punches were pulled, and Trump was given no special treatment. Trump has been charged under the Espionage Act with willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and making false statements to criminal investigators. Trump is in more legal jeopardy now than he has been at any time in his corrupt life. # ⚓ The Dissenter ☛ The_Espionage_Act_Is_Not_The_Answer_To Donald_Trump⠀⇛ # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ Take_a_Leak?_37-Count_Indictment_Details Trump’s_Hiding_of_Documents,_from_Resort_Bathroom_to Ballroom⠀⇛ We speak with The Nation’s Elie Mystal about the Justice Department’s unsealed, sweeping 37-count indictment of former President Donald Trump for retaining and mishandling classified documents, including top-secret information about U.S. nuclear weapons and secret plans to attack a foreign country. Trump is the first U.S. president to face federal criminal charges. He has denied any guilt. The new indictment joins his indictment earlier this year in New York, where he is accused of committing financial fraud. # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ Trump_arrives_in_Florida_as_history- making_court_appearance_approaches_in_classified_documents case⠀⇛ Donald Trump has arrived in Florida ahead of a history-making federal court appearance Tuesday on dozens of felony charges accusing him of illegally hoarding classified documents and thwarting the Justice Department’s efforts to get the records back. Trump’s appearance in Miami will mark his second time since April facing a judge on criminal charges. But unlike a New York case some legal analysts derided as relatively trivial, the Justice Department’s first prosecution of a former president concerns conduct that prosecutors say jeopardized national security, with Espionage Act charges carrying the prospect of a significant prison sentence. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Why_the_9/11_Families_Are_So_Angry_With_the PGA_Tour⠀⇛ When the PGA Tour announced a long-term partnership with LIV Golf, the upstart organization bankrolled by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, no one sounded angrier than survivors of the 9/11 attacks and the families of those who were killed. The pact on June 6 marked an abrupt reversal for the PGA, which had fought LIV Golf since it emerged in 2021. The rival league courted star golfers with vast payouts that were widely seen as part of a global public-relations campaign by the Saudi government. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Twitter_Reveals_That_‘X_Holdings_Corp.’_Has_95 Shareholders…_That_It_Would_Like_To_Keep_Secret⠀⇛ All sorts of interesting things can happen in the process of a lawsuit.

Why it matters:Trump’s history of treating lawyers like attack dogs and personal fixers — shaped by his mentorship_under_the_infamous_Roy_Cohn in the 1970s — has put him in the most precarious legal jeopardy of his life. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ U.S._Government_Stops_Advertising_on TikTok_Following_Ban_Concerns⠀⇛ The U.S. government is halting some of its advertising campaigns on TikTok amid further ban scrutiny. According to the report, an interim rule by the Department of Defense, NASA, and the General Services Administration was established last week. This new rule would prohibit contracts that require the use of TikTok. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Instagram_Algorithm_2023_Explained_— How_Discovery_Works_on_the_Platform⠀⇛ In the wake of increased scrutiny surrounding social media platforms and the information they gather about their users, here’s a peek at how the Instagram algorithm works in 2023.  The conversation around social media algorithms has gotten noticeably louder as state and federal government agencies debate the merits of TikTok. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ The_D-Notice:_Very_British_State_Censorship⠀⇛ Julian Assange is “dangerously close” to being extradited to the US after losing his latest legal appeal. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Google_Finally_Restores_‘Downloader’_App_To Store⠀⇛ A couple of weeks back, we discussed how Google had delisted the app Downloader from the Play Store after a DMCA notice was issued by a firm representing several Israeli TV networks. The problem with all of this is simple: Downloader doesn’t have anything to do with copyright infringement or piracy. All it does is combine a file manager and basic web browser. The DMCA notice centered on the latter, complaining that users could get to piracy sites from the browser.

But last August, the branch cut off its Wi- Fi after hours. It’s the only public library branch in the city that discontinues Wi-Fi at night, and the policy continues today, despite a simultaneous citywide push to increase internet access for San Franciscans with lower incomes. City and library officials said the change was made after neighbors in the area complained that the free Wi-Fi was part of what attracted unhoused people to the area and contributed to crime. # ⚓ Drew DeVault ☛ How_to_go_to_war_with_your_employer⠀⇛ In addition to your fundamental value, there are some weak points in the corporate structure that you should be aware of. There are some big levers that you may already be aware of that I have already placed outside of the scope of this blog post, such as the use of collective bargaining, unionization, strikes, and so on, where you need to maximize your collective leverage to really put the screws to your employer. Many neo-liberal workplaces lack the class consciousness necessary to access these levers, and on the day-to-day scale it may be strategically wise to smarten up your colleagues on social economics in preparation for use of these levers. I want to talk about goals on the smaller scale, though. Suppose your goals are, for instance: [...] # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Ralph_Nader:_Technology_Needs_Assessments_by Congress_Municipalities_and_Local_Civic_Groups⠀⇛ The pace of for-profit technological innovations is accelerating, but to what end beyond corporate sales? The gap between marketing new high-tech products and assessing their intended and unintended consequences has never been greater. Let’s start with the ballooning of augmented reality inside virtual reality. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ UN_chief_backs_idea_of_global_AI watchdog⠀⇛ United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has backed a proposal by some artificial intelligence executives for the creation of an international AI watchdog body like the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Generative AI technology that can spin authoritative prose from text prompts has captivated the public since ChatGPT launched six months ago and became the fastest growing app of all time.  # ⚓ Papers Please ☛ TSA_misstates_the_case_law_on_ID_to_fly⠀⇛ During an online panel last week hosted by the Cato Institute, TSA Privacy Officer Peter Pietra made some bold but false claims (starting at 18:05) about the case law on ID to fly: But as Mr. Pietra and the TSA should know, that’s not what was decided in Gilmore c. Gonzales. Based on pleadings submitted to the court ex parte and under seal by the TSA, the 9th Circuit found that the TSA’s “identification policy” did not require passengers to show ID credentials in order to fly, but provided an alternative of a more intrusive search: # ⚓ New York Times ☛ The_Guardian_Apologizes_for_Its_Handling of_Sexual_Harassment_Complaints⠀⇛ The British media company is also changing its internal processes following a New York Times investigation into a former star political columnist. # ⚓ HRW ☛ 2023-06-08_[Older]_South_Sudan_Ratifies_Crucial African_Women’s_Rights_Treaty⠀⇛ o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ EFF ☛ The_California_Legislature_Must_Stay_The_Course_on Broadband_Funding⠀⇛ In 2021 Governor Newsom signed into law S.B. 156, which promised a $6-billion multi-year investment toward building broadband infrastructure in California. This $6 billion, together with the incoming federal Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) dollars, is enough money to deliver 21st-century-ready broadband access to virtually all Californians. This is badly needed. California, and indeed much of the United States, pays far more for far poorer internet than other similarly developed nations. Unfortunately, the California State Assembly plans to cut $625 million in last-mile broadband infrastructure funding, defer $950 million over the next three fiscal years, and reduce state middle mile fiber funding by an additional $125 million. Any cut to broadband funding undermines California’s ability to fulfill the promise of 21st-century broadband access to all, which then undercuts both the economic development opportunities of building and having 21st century broadband access and the state’s ability to address the systemic inequalities that arise from digital discrimination.  In its proposal (page 113) the Assembly seeks to offset state expenditure with federal BEAD dollars to come. That is both directly counter to the rules that determine BEAD funding and gives up the chance to cover both unserved and underserved Californians. Instead of simply seeking to cover uncovered areas, the combined funds of original bill and the BEAD money would allow all Californians access to high-speed, low-cost internet. As it stands, by cutting the funding, the California legislature risks losing the BEAD money as well, turning a win-win into a lose-lose. # ⚓ EFF ☛ To_Save_the_News,_We_Need_an_End-to-End_Web⠀⇛ Once, news organizations enthusiastically piled into social media. New platforms like Facebook and Twitter were powerful “traffic funnels,” where algorithmic recommendation systems put excerpts from news stories in front of a vast audience of new readers, who followed the links at the end of the excerpt to discover sources that became part of their regular news-diets.  As platforms like Facebook grew essential to the new companies’ business, they changed the deal. First, it was a general “deprioritization” of news posts. This didn’t just mean that articles from news accounts were less likely to be recommended to users who didn’t subscribe to the news publisher’s account. It also meant that people who explicitly followed publishers – that is, who had explicitly directed Facebook to show them the things those publishers posted – would be less likely to see the publishers’ posts. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Telecom_Industry_Ass_Kisser_Ajit_Pai_Comes_Out Of_Hiding_To_Once_Again_Pretend_That_Killing_Net_Neutrality Was_A_Great_Idea⠀⇛ Every so often, I see somebody, who has no idea what they’re talking about, say some variant of: “well, the internet still works despite all of that freaking out by consumer groups, therefore net neutrality must not have been important.” I’ve noted repeatedly how that statement is the claim of deeply unserious people for a deep well of reasons, yet the uninformed hot take never quite seems to die. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ F.T.C._Sues_to_Stop_Microsoft’s_Activision Deal_From_Closing⠀⇛ In the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the F.T.C. said the move was necessary because “Microsoft and Activision have represented that they may consummate” the deal. It asked the court to issue an order blocking the acquisition’s closing by the end of the day on Thursday. # ⚓ Vox ☛ The_US_government_wants_to_stop_the_biggest_deal_in video_game_history⠀⇛ The FTC requested a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction from a federal court on Monday to stop the companies from merging before the deal’s July 18 deadline. The agency sued the companies to block the merger last December, saying that the merger would harm competition in the gaming market, but that trial won’t begin until August. The FTC believes that Microsoft and Activision will go ahead with the merger despite the pending legal action unless a court forbids them to do so and that there will be competitive harm if that happens. This latest filing shows that the FTC is still very serious about stopping the merger. The federal judge’s decision may play a pivotal role in the case going forward. If a judge does not rule in the FTC’s favor, the FTC is more likely to drop its entire case. If the judge allows the temporary restraining order, the FTC may see this as a good sign for its chances in its later trial. # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ 2023-06-08_[Older]_Trudeau_Says_Meta_and_Google Are_‘Bullying’_Canada⠀⇛ # § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ 2023-06-04_[Older]_Germany_urges Indo-Pacific_states_to_‘defend’_rule_of_law [Ed: Germany backs EPO crimes and attacks constitutions with the Unified Patent Court.

The case in question was brought by four French associations for the protection of rights and freedoms on the Internet (La Quadrature du Net, the Federation of Associative Internet Access Providers, the Franciliens.net and the French Data Network), and concerned the “High Authority for the dissemination of works and the protection of rights on the Internet” (Haute Autorité pour la diffusion des œuvres et la protection des droits sur internet – the infamous HADOPI). The latter has a large database of personal information that it uses to police copyright’s intellectual monopoly in France, and it is one of the main villains in the Walled Culture book (free digital versions available). Euractiv reports that La Quadrature du Net is challenging this approach at the Court of Justice of the European Union, the EU’s top court, on the grounds that it is incompatible with the main EU privacy laws: [...] # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ TV_Show_Release_Group_CAKES_Quits_The Scene_&_Shuts_Down⠀⇛ Piracy release group CAKES has shut down.

Yeah, you know the last one. I went to drag over some pallets, to prop up the right front of their old van laying in the grass aside the sheds. It was hard to set inside the back of it, there on the plywood sheet the kids lay in there. Hot too, even with the hatch removed. Those kids still come around there sometimes. They once had more in store. I surely can’t fix that, but I’ll add what I can. Even if it’s just someplace dry and shady to while away the summer, one bottle-flip at a time. A space is a space. # ⚓ Photos_from_the_UAF_Botanical_Garden⠀⇛ My family visited the UAF botanical garden this last Saturday. It was a little disappointing, because a lot of plants had not flowered yet, and the ones that had flowered, had been beaten up badly by a recent wind and rain storm. But nonetheless I got some good photos. Sorry, I don’t know the identification for most of these flowers; I didn’t see much at the garden by way of signs or labels to tell me what is what. # ⚓ Tokyo_Thoughts_#1⠀⇛ I spent the last few days in Tokyo. It is an amazing place. The people are very proud of where they live and they take good care of it. They are nice and welcoming. It makes me think that Americans have forgotten how to be kind and how to care for our culture. # ⚓ Tokyo_Thoughts_#2⠀⇛ Almost no one in Tokyo looks at you on the streets, at least not in the eyes. I feel like this is respectful, but VERY different than in the US. This phenomenon is the same in big US cities, though. Certainly, in Chicago people also avoid looking at strangers. It just felt like I was so separate from the citizens of Tokyo. # ⚓ Bad_Dreams_at_Mt._Fuji⠀⇛ I had a bad dream about you last night as I slept here next to Mt. Fuji, Brandon. The gist of the dream was that I was driving both your cars around and someone was trying to take them from me. I awoke grunting as someone was trying to take our Jeep! I think it happened because just before bed last night, I posted on here my first thoughts that weren’t about you. My brain was connecting you to where I am now. # ⚓ News_of_my_demise,_etc_etc⠀⇛ So, some quick advice: Don’t get COVID. I went back to Seattle in the beginning of March, wore a mask the whole time (my partner did not. I think this is important). We got to drop in on Emerald City Comic Con, which was well missed, and I was so happy to be there, and also just walk around the city again. I miss walking around cities. My partner was sick by the time we were done at ECCC (they did wear a mask there, as we do for conventions). By the time we got home, I had cold- like symptoms. That Tuesday I was fully sick with it. [...] Anyway, three months out, I still have a little bit of a cough, and my brain fog has mostly cleared up. I truly believe it could have been so much worse, if I had not gotten vaccines. I wish I had gotten the booster before I left town. # ⚓ 2023_Week_22/23:_Status_and_Photos⠀⇛ A friend from out of town is visiting us this week, and to show him around the area, we’ve done many activities we don’t normally do. My favorite so far has been a visit to a nearby amusement park, which we haven’t been to since 2017. My family gave me three old hard drives to try to pull data from. The oldest was from our family Windows 95 PC, the second had Windows 98 installed, and the newest was salvaged from my dad’s Windows XP system–which was heavily used by my sister whenever she snuck into his office room after bedtime. I was able to successfully clone the 98 and XP drives, but the 95 drive appears to have some sort of logic fault that prevents the head from reading the platters properly. I don’t hear any clicks, whines, scrapes or beeps when it powers up, and my computer can even detect the correct storage size, but it can’t read any data. I may need the help of an expert on old hard drives. The recent big buzz on Gemini seems to be about user authentication. The question is, in short, if one creates accounts on two different services with the same client certificate, how can one prove the accounts belong to the same person? Without some way to see information about users’ certificates, and without third-party tools such as PGP, this doesn’t appear to be possible. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ The_EURion_Constellation⠀⇛ On some notes they’re disguised: one on UK bank note they’re musical notes, although the music doesn’t make sense. On others they are zeros mixed in with other digits. The pattern has a very specific purpose: it’s very quick to automatically detect, and it says “I am a bank note”. Various pieces of hardware and software look for it, and will refuse to copy the image if it’s found. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Upgrading_Debian_Bullseye_(11)_to_Bookworm_(12)⠀⇛ I’m reading the release notes, and following the instructions. I started reading at 14:20, and I logged into the server at 14:34. – 2021-08-30 Upgrading Debian Buster (10) to Bullseye (11) # ⚓ The_GPL:_A_Postmortem⠀⇛ I do not have much corporate experience, but recall folks saying “do not bring in GPL” at some FAANG or the other. Other random comments indicate this is a fairly common corporate position. Still others use copyleft licenses as a poison pill: pay up for your proprietary or I’ll tap this enforcement card. Sleepycat Software comes to mind, though Michael Olson is doing different things these days. The AGPL has likewise been weaponized in the cloud wars. Others can maybe ignore the GPL as they don’t distribute anything—welcome to cloud city, where our deals never change!—or they make their money elsewhere, so why not open up the code? However, a GPL does not seem a common or anyways exclusive license choice here. # ⚓ Dinosauria⠀⇛ I came across this incomprehensibly gorgeous animation series by David James Armsby and I have not emotionally recovered from it. The love and respect he has for dinosaurs is tangible. I cried at least 15 times. His process videos are also very worth watching because of the sheer amount of preproduction work he does – including very large fully painted dinosaur sculptures(??!?!??!) # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ And_now_for_my_next_trick⠀⇛ As of now, all of my personal side projects that I’ve shared are basically complete (I just have to add query support to Cosmarmot). Lately I’ve been playing with writing GTK4 apps in Common Lisp, my reasons being that I really enjoy the look of a well-designed GTK/ Libadwaita application, especially one that supports responsive design for narrow windows and mobile, and fits in well in my Gnome desktop, and because the Common Lisp bindings are so good thanks to the very good GObject introspection bindings. I’ve done enough to start to get comfortable with writing GUI code, something that has never been my forté. The last time I dipped my toes in desktop GUI programming was writing panel widgets for Gnome 1 (!) in Python. I do feel like writing something fun in it, though. I have two ideas, and I’m only probably going to work on one. Both of them are kind of unnecessary for their respective ecosystems, but each would add something that hasn’t appeared or hasn’t become common yet. # ⚓ Gemtext_can_be_worse_than_plaintext⠀⇛ Recently I was thinking about the limitations of gemtext, and how to work around those. For inspiration, I started thinking about how those issues were handled in other limited formats. I thought back to what’s often considered the most limited format: plaintext files. Plaintext is limiting because it has no formatting at all. There are no semantic elements. That’s also part of it’s strength, allowing it the most universal support. Comparing gemtext to other, intentionally more advanced markup languages would not be a fair comparison. But what about a step down to plaintext? # ⚓ Gemini:_Exploring_the_Cozy_World_of_Capsules_and Space⠀⇛ This post is made to give you basic understanding of what Gemini is, what are Capsules and Gemlogs, modern-day use of retro image techniques and text-based art # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Variable_scope_acts_like_a_devil_for_the_user_👿⠀⇛ You can clone an object to get more than one. The variables in scope 2 are only available to the clones. But… If you update a variable in one of the clones, the others don’t see the change. When you make a clone, the current *value* is given to the clonee but the cloner keeps its own copy. So my code for keeping track of the number of active clones fails. # ⚓ New_Chapter⠀⇛ Last week my job hunt came to a close when I accepted a software engineering role with a pretty large, well-known company. The timing couldn’t have been any better either since my last class is over in two weeks. I’ve been looking forward to it more and more as it’s had time to settle in. The office I’ll be working at is in a good location and we’ll be really close to family. I also feel excited about the opportunity long-term. I’m sure there’ll be room for growth inside the company and whenever it’s time for me to move on I’m confident I’ll have gotten some valuable experience. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
