Deception, Microsoft at 6:43 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Summary: The demise of Facebook and other social control media (or the_World Wide_Web_at_large) “won’t_be_televised”; to make matters worse, what prevails on today’s Web is clickbait, gossip and SEO_noise MY intention here is not to constantly bash the media, but it’s curious that instead of finding actual news about Facebook I mostly find Facebook-connected puff pieces and ridiculous gossip about a “fight” (two sociopaths looking to distract from their commercial failure [2]). “It’s a public holiday in the United States, so news is expected to be slow.”I moreover worry that reputable news sites now publish cooking recipes as front page news, resort to webspam (sometimes computer-generated spew), and the Web is dominated by digital tabloids, not journalism. For instance, regarding Facebook, Gizmodo [1-5] and Engadget [6] focus on “news” that’s more akin to gossip, including empty claims of parental supervision, just as we noted_some hours_ago_in_relation_to_TikTok. Gizmodo and Engadget also produced a lot of Microsoft webspam earlier this year, faking excitement of hype for some chatbot that’s still falsely marketed. It’s a public holiday in the United States, so news is expected to be slow. We continue to wonder aloud how to still pursue actual information and scientific facts. We expect that later this month Microsoft will start another storm of vapourware in the media, days or weeks ahead of mass layoffs being announced again. They’re batching_it. It’s a PR tactic. “Some (but not all) of the media/press layoffs are the fault of “Web giants” (and no, “link tax” is not the solution!); it means that the very best/potent critics of companies like Facebook no longer have sufficient capacity to do so.”Speaking of layoffs, Facebook has had plenty of them recently. But the official number of layoffs does not tell the full story. By forcing workers to come back to the office (needlessly) Facebook convinced many workers to simply resign. They won’t count as “layoffs”. This is an HR tactic that we’ve been seeing in other companies too. Some (but not all) of the media/press layoffs are the fault of “Web giants” (and no, “link tax” is not the solution!); it means that the very best/potent critics of companies like Facebook no longer have sufficient capacity to do so. Facebook is hearsay and it has rapidly reduced the quality of media to its own low standards (or even lower). █ Related/contextual items from the news: 1. ⚓

Reading_News_on_the_Web_Without_Curation_and_Cruft-Reducing_Tools_Will_Become Harder⠀✐ Posted in BSD, Deception, Free/Libre_Software, GNU/Linux at 7:42 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link | md5sum 48a5d064885c5dd7041807fd4336708b Dealing With Scarcity of News Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0 http://techrights.org/videos/dried-up-news-cycles.webm Summary: For a number of years in our_Git_forge we’ve developed Free software tools to help identify and study news online; the problem is that over time there’s less and less of it left online (old material goes offline and almost nothing replaces it except chaff) THE sheer bloat of Web pages is one prominent issue, but what about signal-to- noise ratio? What about gossip instead (or in place) of “news”? What about so- called ‘news deserts’ or ‘skeleton crews’ pretending to produce news but instead spewing political propaganda, sometimes with machine-generated text? What about SEO, clickbait, and “tweets” presented as news? As Ryan puts it in IRC today, “the news is under pressure to sell “hits” and make it seem like things are happening all the time.” “There’s a mostly unspoken-about crisis and it involves the rotting of the Web. We can see some symptoms of it, such as the demise of social control networks.”Each week or each month — not just every year — we can easily spot further reduction in news on the Web. This isn’t limited to news sites; blogs are the same. This doesn’t affect just BSD- and GNU/Linux-centric writers. It doesn’t affect just technology. It doesn’t affect just English language sites. It’s universal. A few years ago we started developing software tools to help us do Daily Links. This investment of time always paid off and nowadays we’re able to find all sorts of news of interest, including tips about Microsoft layoffs (not typically covered by the media but instead covered up or drowned out of view). There’s a mostly unspoken-about crisis and it involves the rotting of the Web. We can see some symptoms of it, such as the demise of social control networks. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 674 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/07/03/twitter-humongous-debt/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/07/03/twitter-humongous-debt/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.03.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Consider_Twitter’s_Humongous_Debt_(Insolvency_Likely_Impending)_When Assessing_the_Decision_Not_to_Pay_Severance,_Rent,_and_Hosting_Bills⠀✐ Posted in Finance at 8:29 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz How “successful” can a business truly be when it cannot even become profitable?

broader effort to attract tech talent, aims to promote the fact that people working remotely for a foreign employer can spend up to six months in Canada — and extend their time here, if they get a job offer from a domestic employer while in the country. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Geshan ☛ How_to_craft_your_junior_software_engineer_resume the_right_way⠀⇛ Writing a resume as a junior software engineer that strikes the right chord for both technical and non- technical readers is a crucial skill. In this guide, you will learn how you can craft a masterpiece junior software engineer that will get you more calls and possibly interviews, let’s get going! o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Andrew Hutchings ☛ Magneto-Optical_Drives⠀⇛ Magneto-Optical is not a fight between mutants from X-Men, but a very reliable drive technology which you may have even used, even if you haven’t heard of it. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ RTL ☛ “Giving_so_much_sugar_to_a_child_is_a_crime,”_says CHL_expert⠀⇛ A CHL endocrinologist has issued a warning against the growing consumption of sugar, but also against the spread of a worrying disease among young people known as “Nash”. “We’re now seeing cases of cirrhosis linked to excessive sugar consumption. It may not be widely known, but it is very serious,” Dr Catherine Atlan warned. The specialist in nutrition, diabetes and endocrinology at the Centre Hospitalier de Luxembourg said the practice of parents offering bottles of sugary drinks to their children was on the rise. # ⚓ Rolling Stone ☛ He’s_Saving_Addicts_By_the_Hundreds._Why_Is His_Hometown_Fighting_Him?⠀⇛ If the Sacklers could’ve built themselves a doctor from scratch, he’d have walked and talked a lot like Procter. According to Dreamland, by Sam Quinones, the definitive and indelible account of the opioid epidemic in the heartland, Proctor was a small-town physician with big-town tastes; he drove a fleet of sports cars, owned a huge house, and stacked his patients end to end, pushing Xanax and short-haul narcotics. Then along came Oxy, touted by the Sacklers to be tamper proof, time-released — and safe. Less than one percent of users become addicted, read the handouts doctors got from Purdue’s salesmen. Procter’s practice told him different. The line outside his door formed hours before he opened, and new clients arrived by the vanload. They were happy to pay him cash — $250 for a three-minute visit — and to come back faithfully once a month. Those scripts for Oxy 80s would pay their own freight, reselling on the street, where a bottle of 90 pills was worth thousands. Procter hired ringers to handle the heavy traffic. The doctors he brought in were bottom-feeding hacks, but their licenses to prescribe narcotics were valid in Ohio. Thus was the world’s first “pain clinic” hatched. Soon, there were more than a dozen in Portsmouth, serving a town of 19,000. There was nothing cops could do but arrest the addicts when they brazenly stole from Walmart to feed their habit. “Doctors were protected by the law,” says Jason Hedrick, the deputy chief of Portsmouth’s police department. “Under the rules, it was legal to prescribe for pain, so we couldn’t touch those guys for years.” # ⚓ University of Waterloo ☛ What’s_a_park_worth_to_the economy?⠀⇛ “Dollars drive decisions,” said Wilson. “It can be challenging for decision-makers to support the development and expansion of urban parks because there are competing land use pressures, and municipalities are responsible for park operation and maintenance costs. However, this study offers concrete evidence that the health system savings alone justify the financial investment.” The study, The economic value of health benefits associated with urban park investment, appears in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. # ⚓ MDPI ☛ The_Economic_Value_of_Health_Benefits_Associated with_Urban_Park_Investment⠀⇛ The allocation of resources towards the development and enhancement of urban parks offers an effective strategy for promoting and improving the health and well-being of urban populations. Investments in urban parks can result in a multitude of health benefits. The increased usage of greenspace by park users has been linked to positive physical and mental health outcomes. Additionally, the expansion of greenspace in urban areas can mitigate harmful impacts from air pollutants, heat, noise, and climate-related health risks. While the health benefits attributed to urban parks and greenspaces are well documented, few studies have measured the economic value of these benefits. This study applied a novel ecohealth economic valuation framework to quantify and estimate the potential economic value of health benefits attributed to the development of a proposed park in the downtown core of Peterborough, Canada. The results indicated that development of the small urban park will result in annual benefits of CAD 133,000 per year, including CAD 109,877 in the avoided economic burden of physical inactivity, CAD 23,084 in health savings associated with improved mental health, and CAD 127 in health savings attributed to better air quality. When including the economic value of higher life satisfaction, the economic benefit is more than CAD 4 million per year. The study demonstrates the value of developing and enhancing urban parks as a strategy to improve population health and well- being, and as a means of cost savings to the medical system. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ Despite_the_Hype,_Artificial Intelligence_Remains_Inferior_to_the_Human_Brain⠀⇛ One way to answer that question would be to compare AI to an analogue that is already available and sentient, namely — the human brain. AI was designed not only to mimic the human mind but also to out- compute it in certain aspects. Apart from presenting a paradigm shift, AI’s utility is not entirely revolutionary. Rather, it is a continuation of innovations past and present — wheels, cranks, and windmills to surmount our limbic limitations; bows, arrows and missiles to counter remote threats; and the Internet to resolve space-time constraints in (global) communications. # ⚓ Hollywood Reporter ☛ Twitter_Introduces_“Temporary_Limits” for_the_Number_of_Tweets_Users_Can_See_Daily⠀⇛ He elaborated on the measure in a separate tweet, writing, “Several hundred organizations (maybe more) were scraping Twitter data extremely aggressively, to the point where it was affecting the real user experience.” Adding, “What should we do to stop that? I’m open to ideas.” It’s unclear how long both of these temporary measures will last. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Australian_firm_sues_Twitter_for_$665,000_for not_paying_bills⠀⇛ An Australian project management firm has filed a lawsuit against Twitter Inc in a U.S. court seeking cumulative payments of about A$1 million ($665,000) over alleged non-payment of bills for work done in four countries, court filings showed. Sydney-based private company Facilitate Corp on June 29 filed the suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District Of California claiming breach of contract over Twitter’s failure to pay its invoices. # ⚓ 4Square Media Pty Ltd ☛ Microsoft_CEO_Slammed_Over ‘Landmark_Year’_Claim_–_channelnews⠀⇛ o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Pro ☛ Red_Hat_adds_four_years_of_extended_support_for RHEL_7⠀⇛ An additional three years are also added to RHEL 8 and 9′s lifecycles, which are still both fully supported. # ⚓ NL Times ☛ 2023-06-28_[Older]_Over_6,500_arrested_since police_hacked_into_EncroChat_servers⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-06-30_[Older]_DoS_and_DDoS_Attacks_against Multiple_Sectors⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-06-29_[Older]_2023_CWE_Top_25_Most_Dangerous Software_Weaknesses⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-06-29_[Older]_CISA_Adds_Eight_Known_Exploited Vulnerabilities_to_Catalog⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-06-29_[Older]_CISA_Releases_Nine_Industrial Control_Systems_Advisories⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-06-29_[Older]_Delta_Electronics_InfraSuite Device_Master⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-06-29_[Older]_Schneider_Electric_EcoStruxure Operator_Terminal_Expert⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-06-29_[Older]_​Ovarro_TBox_RTUs⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-06-29_[Older]_​Mitsubishi_Electric_MELSEC- F_Series⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-06-28_[Older]_CISA_and_NSA_Release_Joint Guidance_on_Defending_Continuous_Integration/Continuous Delivery_(CI/CD)_Environments⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-06-27_[Older]_CISA_Releases_One_Industrial Control_Systems_Advisory⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-06-27_[Older]_CISA_Releases_SCuBA_TRA_and_eVRF Guidance_Documents⠀⇛ # ⚓ CISA ☛ 2023-06-27_[Older]_Hitachi_Energy_FOXMAN-UN_and_UNEM Products⠀⇛ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Cracking_Down_on_Dissent,_Russia Seeds_a_Surveillance_Supply_Chain⠀⇛ The technologies have given the police and Russia’s Federal Security Service, better known as the F.S.B., access to a buffet of snooping capabilities focused on the day-to- day use of phones and websites. The tools offer ways to track certain kinds of activity on encrypted apps like WhatsApp and Signal, monitor the locations of phones, identify anonymous social media users and break into people’s accounts, according to documents from Russian surveillance providers obtained by The New York Times, as well as security experts, digital activists and a person involved with the country’s digital surveillance operations. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Presence_Sensor_Locks_Computer_When_You Step_Away⠀⇛ Having a computer that locks its screen after a few minutes of inactivity is always a good idea from a security standpoint, especially in offices where there is a lot of foot traffic. Even the five- or ten-minute activity timers that are set on most workstations aren’t really perfect solutions. While ideally in these situations we’d all be locking our screens manually when we get up, that doesn’t always happen. The only way to guarantee that this problem is solved is to use something like this automatic workstation locker. # ⚓ Kev Quirk ☛ I’d_Love_a_Dumb_Phone,_But…⠀⇛ I’d love to replace my iPhone with a dumb phone, but I don’t think it would ever work in reality. I was recently perusing Youtube (as I sometimes do) and I came across a video about the Punkt_MP02, which is effectively a dumb phone that supports Signal. § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ * ⚓ RFERL ☛ Pakistan_Taliban_Claims_Attack_That_Killed_Four_Security Officers⠀⇛ [...] Islamabad has charged that some of the attacks in Pakistan have been organized inside Afghanistan. * ⚓ Off Guardian ☛ DISCUSS:_Riots_across_France⠀⇛ Over the days these protests have spread city-to-city, getting more violent and destructive as they go. So far over 1000 cars have been burned in the street, and hundreds have been arrested. Police stations in multiple cities were set ablaze. A prison was attacked with fireworks. The largest public library in Marseille also burned down. [...] In France there have been reported of rocket-propelled grenades being used, or automatic rifles – allegedly looted from gun stores. Looting is pervasive, with cars being rammed through store windows. [...] In closing, I will say this: Staging nation wide riots would be a good use of an army of undocumented fighting-age young men you’ve smuggled into the country under the guise of “refugees”. * ⚓ ANF News ☛ Russia_uses_Erdoğan_as_a_means_of_pressure⠀⇛ On 11 and 12 July, the NATO summit will take place in Vilnius, Lithuania, in a confrontation with Russia. While the Western military alliance focuses on unity, member state Turkey acts between the power blocs Russia and NATO and tries to push through its own expansionist interests. Journalist Yusuf Karadaş, who writes for the left-wing newspaper Evrensel, analyses the foreign policy of the newly elected old Turkish government and its relationship with NATO and Russia in an interview with ANF. * ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ US_Legally_Owes_Nicaragua_Reparations,_but_Still_Refuses to_Honor_1986_Int’l_Court_of_Justice_Ruling⠀⇛ 37 years after a 1986 International Court of Justice ruling, the United States still refuses to pay Nicaragua the reparations it legally owes. Today, the Nicaraguan government is demanding that the United Nations take action. * ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ ‘We_Will_Not_Surrender’:_The_Extraordinary_Palestinians_of Jenin⠀⇛ Israel knows that crushing the Resistance in Jenin is not possible. Though the far-right ministers in Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing government are constantly making such a demand, the Israeli military understands the difficulty – in fact, the impossibility of such a task. * ⚓ JURIST ☛ Ukraine_dispatch:_launch_of_ICJ_case_relating_to_2020_missile downing_of_PS752_highlights_rising_tensions_between_Ukraine_and_Iran⠀⇛ Oksana Bidnenko is a staff correspondent for JURIST. She is a Ukrainian law student at the Riga Graduate School of Law in Riga, Latvia, and is currently an exchange student at the University of Oslo, Norway.  * ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ AUKUS_pact_to_present_challenges_for_Widodo successor⠀⇛ Attitudes in Indonesia to the AUKUS partnership may have shifted, but whoever succeeds President Joko Widodo will have to grapple with long-term stability concerns about the pact. Mr Widodo will begin his three-day visit Australia on Monday as part of bilateral talks which will likely be his last as leader. * ⚓ France24 ☛ 🔴_Live:_French_police_arrests_fall_sharply_to_157_during sixth_night_of_unrest⠀⇛ A firefighter has died overnight outside of Paris trying to douse burning vehicles, the interior minister announced Monday morning. It is not yet clear whether the fires were connected to the ongoing riots. Police made 157 arrests nationwide on Sunday, down significantly from 719 arrests the day before. More than 3,000 people have been detained overall following a mass security deployment. * ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ Grandmother_of_French_teen_shot_dead_by_police officer_pleads_with_rioters_to_stop_the_violence⠀⇛ The grandmother of a French teenager shot dead by police during a traffic stop has urged rioters to stop after five nights of unrest. But the violence appeared to be lessening on Sunday. The grandmother of 17-year-old Nahel told French broadcaster BFM TV she was angry at the officer who killed her grandson but not at the police in general. She expressed faith in the justice system as France faces its worst social upheaval in years.

That is equal to roughly one hundred truck loads,” she said. Filaret is the first company to recycle cigarette ends in Estonia. Villido said that they should be a separate type of waste. * § Overpopulation⠀➾ o ⚓ CNBC ☛ ‘A_war_for_water’:_Europe_sounds_the_alarm_on_water_stress ahead_of_another_extreme_summer⠀⇛ European lawmakers issued a stark warning about the region’s growing water crisis ahead of another extreme summer, saying there is a pressing need to tackle issues such as scarcity, food security and pollution. Speaking at a European Parliament plenary session entitled “The Water Crisis in Europe” on Thursday, lawmakers called for increased action to preserve and improve water resources, already affected by several years of depleting groundwater levels as the climate crisis continues to intensify. Record-breaking temperatures through spring and a historic winter heatwave have taken a visible toll on the region’s rivers and ski slopes, while protests have broken out over water shortages in both France and Spain. o ⚓ CNBC ☛ The_scarcity_of_water_is_emerging_as_a_global_economic threat._With_China_and_India_looking_the_most_at_risk⠀⇛ Global fresh water demand is expected to outstrip supply by 40% to 50% by 2030. Ghosh warned that water scarcity must not be viewed as a sectoral issue, but one that “transcends the entire economy.” o ⚓ [Old] World Bank ☛ How_is_India_addressing_its_water_needs?⠀⇛ Come summer, and water becomes a commodity as precious as gold in India. The country has 18 percent of the world’s population, but only 4 percent of its water resources, making it among the most water-stressed in the world. A large number of Indians face high to extreme water stress, according to a recent report by the government’s policy think tank, the NITI Aayog. India’s dependence on an increasingly erratic monsoon for its water requirements increases this challenge. Climate change is likely to exacerbate this pressure on water resources, even as the frequency and intensity on floods and droughts in the country increases. § Finance⠀➾ * ⚓ LRT ☛ Beerflation:_why_getting_a_drink_in_Lithuania_is_getting ridiculously_expensive?⠀⇛ Grabbing a beer at a bar in Lithuania is getting increasingly costly – and making locals wonder why they have to pay as much as they would in Paris or Rome. * ⚓ New York Times ☛ At_the_Front_Lines_of_the_Inflation_Fight,_Uncertainty Reigns⠀⇛ Central bankers and economists gathered and, amid concerns about persistent inflation, wondered about all the things they still don’t know. § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ * ⚓ India Times ☛ EU,_Japan_to_deepen_chip_cooperation:_EU_industry_chief Thierry_Breton⠀⇛ The EU and Japan will work together to monitor the chip supply chain and facilitate the exchange of researchers and engineers, Breton said.

These included initiating criminal proceedings against the company’s Chief Compliance Officer and removing Twitter’s “safe harbour” immunity, a protection statutorily afforded to all online intermediaries operating in the country under § 79(1) of the Information Technology Act. * ⚓ Computer World ☛ Businesses_and_tech_firms_criticize_proposed_EU_AI Act⠀⇛ The signatories urged the EU to adopt a more hands-off approach to AI regulation, worrying that the draft AI Act would make the continent less competitive in the fast-growing field. * ⚓ Salon ☛ There’s_no_such_thing_as_a_conservative_intellectual_—_only apologists_for_right-wing_power⠀⇛ Three-quarters of a century later, Trilling’s statement remains broadly true, as a glance at conservative books will attest. The hundreds of conservative book titles that have geysered out of Regnery, Broadside and other right-wing imprints in recent years are almost invariably distinguished by their numbing sameness: a shrill cry of victimhood, a hunt for scapegoats, a tone that alternates between hysteria and heavy sarcasm, and a recipe for salvation cribbed from Republican National Committee talking points and Heritage Foundation issue briefs. The fact that they sometimes hit the bestseller list is principally due to the well-funded conservative media-entertainment complex’s bulk-purchase scam. * ⚓ [Old] IranWire ☛ The_Islamic_Republic’s_Psychological_Warfare_against the_Opposition⠀⇛ Psychological warfare, known by a number of names including psychological operations and “psy ops,” is one of the oldest tactics employed in wars. Such tactics are aimed at undermining the enemy’s morale and its will to fight or resist and, sometimes, at persuading the enemy to change its position. Another kind of psy-ops is propaganda aimed at strengthening the morale and the resolve of allies or one’s own forces. Efforts to manipulate the minds of prisoners of war and political prisoners are also part of psychological warfare. In this two-part report, we examine how the Islamic Republic wages psychological warfare against its opponents, which tools it uses and whether it observes any red lines in its psychological operations. * ⚓ [Old] IranWire ☛ Islamic_Republic’s_Cyber_Army:_Cheerleaders,_Zombies and_Trolls⠀⇛ In this study, Shamani concluded that psychological operations, along with intelligence gathering, is one of the most effective ways in suppressing protests. He then suggested the following actions: [...] [...] The article then emphasized the importance of “the role of infiltrators in the ranks of the opposition and of conducting psychological operations among the rioters in order to downgrade the rioters’ demands and reactions, and sometimes to mislead the rioters and identify the core leaders of the unrest.” * ⚓ Futurism ☛ CNET’s_Parent_Company_Preparing_to_Kickstart_the_AI_Content Engine⠀⇛ Throughout the meeting, Elias and others emphasized an argument for AI’s integration that’s becoming a familiar refrain: productivity. Leaders at the likes of BuzzFeed and Insider — Nich Carlson, Insider’s editor-in-chief, notably referred to tools like ChatGPT as the “new bicycle of the mind,” in reference to Steve Jobs’ famous quote about iPhones — have held a similar productivity line, as did G/O Media Group when it announced its own move to AI this week. As the logic generally stands, AI systems can quickly aggregate information and take away first-draft pressure; using them, then, must mean that work goes faster, which means more content is produced. Ultimately, the reasoning seems to go, more reader eyeballs are harvested. * ⚓ Gannett ☛ ‘Consign_to_oblivion’:_Bloggers_say_Russia_rewriting_history of_Wagner_Group:_Updates⠀⇛ Some pro-Moscow military bloggers are decrying shameless attempts by the Kremlin to “rewrite history” and “consign to oblivion” the war efforts of the Wagner private military company (PMC) and its leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin. * ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Judge_Orders_Proud_Boys_to_Pay_More_Than_$1M_Over Destruction_of_Black_DC_Church’s_Property:_Report⠀⇛ A DC judge has ordered a group of Proud Boys members to pay over $1 million for their role in destroying property belonging to a well-known, majority-Black, Washington, D.C., church in 2020, CNN reports.

While TweetDeck hasn’t had a major failure that I know of since Elon Musk took ownership of Twitter, this failure came as no surprise to me — or anyone else using the platform, I imagine. The application allows users to create multiple columns to monitor multiple accounts, alongside a “Home” feed for the user’s designated primary account. For example, my TweetDeck account shows the “home” feed for BrideOfLinux, my personal Twitter account, along with columns showing my most recent tweets, and another column, “Notifications,” which shows interactions from other users, such as shares, likes, and comments. Alongside those, there’s a column showing tweets posted on FOSS Force’s Twitter account, which I manage, and a “Notification” column for that account, as well. § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ * ⚓ RFERL ☛ Iranian_Activist_Held_During_Protests_Given_Five-Year_Sentence, Supporters_Say⠀⇛ An Iranian appeals court handed a five-year sentence to prominent activist and journalist Golrokh Ebrahimi Iraee, who has been held since her arrest at the onset of a protest movement, supporters said on July 2.

I could no longer remain in an Army which treated its officers with such disrespect. “What message does it send to women in the Army, that merely for noting the existence of women and women’s rights even a colonel can be placed under investigation? I therefore feel there is no other choice but to make this matter public. * ⚓ ICC ☛ Nigerian_Christian_Leaders_Speak_Out_After_Muslim_Man_Stoned_for Supposed_Blasphemy⠀⇛ Some media reports suggest that Buda was killed by business partners or competitors after engaging on theology with a beggar asking for money. Other sources report that Buda made a statement interpreted as derogatory of the Islamic prophet Mohammed. In any case, a mob shouting “Allahu Akbar” quickly gathered to avenge the supposed blasphemy and killed Buda. In a similar case, Deborah Emmanuel, a student at the College of Sokoto, was also stoned to death by a Muslim mob last year for supposedly blasphemous statements. Emmanuel was a Christian, while Buda is reported to have been a devout Muslim. No one has been arrested for Buda’s killing yet, Nigerian police confirmed. * ⚓ Reuters ☛ Muslim_group_says_measures_needed_to_prevent_Koran desecration⠀⇛ A man tore up and burned a Koran outside Stockholm’s central mosque on Wednesday, the first day of the Muslim Eid al-Adha holidays. The act angered OIC member Turkey whose backing Sweden needs to gain entry to the NATO military alliance. * ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ No_conflict_between_journalism_and_security_law, says_Hong_Kong_No.2_official⠀⇛ Lee said at the time that the administration would not introduce fake news legislation if the problem was manageable through self-discipline and industry ethics. The government first mulled plans to legislate against fake news and false information in 2021. At the time, the administration told lawmakers that they were conducting a study of similar legislations in other countries. * ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Video:_China’s_attempt_to_interrupt_UN_testimony by_son_of_detained_Hong_Kong_media_tycoon_Jimmy_Lai_rejected⠀⇛ In a press statement, PEN International said China had attempted to silence Sebastien Lai: “We welcome the President of the Human Rights Council’s decision to allow Sebastien to conclude his oral statement, and for the comments from Special Rapporteur on freedom of peaceful assembly and of association, Clément Nyaletsossi Voule, who expressed his support and solidarity with Sebastien Lai.” * ⚓ RFA ☛ How_risky_is_travel_to_Hong_Kong_under_the_national_security law?⠀⇛ As a former resident and frequent traveler to the Hong Kong, R had never considered himself a political threat under the city’s national security law, which ushered in an ongoing crackdown on dissent when it was imposed three years ago. Until he was ushered into a small, windowless room at Hong Kong International Airport at the beginning of this year on arrival from his native Taiwan, and subjected to questioning and a full body search by both uniformed and plainclothes police. * ⚓ RFA ☛ New_Chinese_foreign_relations_law_targets_businesspeople, journalists⠀⇛ China has enacted a new foreign relations law that takes a broad view of what constitutes espionage in a move that may make China even harder to safely navigate for foreign journalists and businesspeople. The law – which came into effect on Saturday – appears to be an effort to provide a legal basis for punishing any individuals or organizations that threaten China’s interests, which may include any moves that suggest “de-risking” or “decoupling,” at least according to state media rhetoric over recent days. * ⚓ RFA ☛ Hong_Kong_social_activists_brave_threat_of_arrest_to_keep speaking_out⠀⇛ “The easiest way for them to prosecute us is under colonial-era sedition laws, because they can charge us for posting any opinion online that the authorities don’t like,” she said. * ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Quran_burning:_Iran_delays_Sweden_ambassador appointment⠀⇛ Several Muslim countries continued to complain to Sweden on Sunday about a protest earlier in the week in Stockholm in which an Iraqi national set fire to a copy of the Quran, Islam’s holy book. * ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong_Book_Fair_does_not_have_a_‘list_of banned_titles’_for_vendors,_organiser_says⠀⇛ The organiser of Hong Kong’s annual book fair has said it did not hold a list of banned titles for participating publishers, maintaining the same position as last year that it would not pre-screen books, “as long as the titles didn’t breach Hong Kong law, including the national security law.” [...] § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ * ⚓ VOA News ☛ Japanese_Journalist_Barred_From_Entering_Hong_Kong_Without Clear_Reason:_Report⠀⇛ A Japanese journalist was barred from entering Hong Kong without a clear reason and was sent back to his country, a Japanese newspaper said, raising concerns over the city’s shrinking press freedoms. The Japan Times, a prominent English-language newspaper, reported Friday that a freelance journalist was taken by officials to a room after arriving at the city’s airport Thursday evening. Yoshiaki Ogawa, known for his coverage in the financial hub, was later interviewed for around an hour, it said. * ⚓ LRT ☛ Lithuanian_MEP_funds_alternative_news_website_–_LRT investigation⠀⇛ A new social media platform and alternative news website, 77.lt, is funded by Lithuanian MEP Viktoras Uspaskichas and his former wife Jolanta Blažytė.

Currently, however, there is still a lack of capacity to manage these trials without international support. [...] The ISIS massacre in Shengal, which was recognised as genocide against the Yazidi community by the German Parliament (Bundestag) in January, is described by the Yazidis as the 73rd genocide (or ferman as Yazidis call it) in their history of persecution. It is estimated that about 10,000 people fell victim to the genocide. Over 7,000 women and children were abducted by ISIS, more than 400,000 people were driven from their homes and thousands more are still missing. * ⚓ Salon ☛ How_Arizona_stands_between_tribes_and_their_water⠀⇛ Arguing before the Supreme Court on behalf of Arizona and other parties in 1983, Kyl successfully defended a challenge to a law called the McCarran Amendment that allowed state courts to take over jurisdiction of tribal water rights claims. “Tribes are subject to the vagaries of different state politics, different state processes,” explained Dylan Hedden- Nicely, director of the Native American Law Program at the University of Idaho and a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. “As a result, two tribes with identical language in their treaties might end up having, ultimately, very different water rights on their reservations.” * ⚓ Iran Press Watch ☛ Baha’i_Citizen_Sara_Sabet_Rasekh_Receives_Eight-Year Prison_Sentence⠀⇛ In March-April 2022, the Isfahan Revolutionary Court initially sentenced Sabet to two years for “insulting the former and current Supreme Leader of Iran” and one year for “propaganda against the regime on the [Internet].” Subsequently, she received an additional one-year sentence for “insulting regime authorities and officials.” Currently, she is serving the latter sentence outside of prison under curfew, monitored by an electronic tag. * ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ BREAKING:_Hong_Kong_national_security_police issue_HK$1_million_bounty_each_for_8_self-exiled_activists⠀⇛ Hong Kong national security police have issued arrest warrants for eight self-exiled activists, including former lawmakers Ted Hui and Dennis Kwok.

None were arrested. According to local media, some 6,000 police officers were deployed on Saturday. § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ * ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ 2023-06-29_[Older]_It’s_About_to_Be_Much_Harder_for_Rural Alaskans_to_Get_Their_Weather_Forecast⠀⇛ * ⚓ CNBC ☛ Google_will_block_Canadian_news_outlets_from_search_results_in the_country⠀⇛ The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, one of Canada’s largest news organizations, said it would “encourage Canadians to go directly to the websites they trust for their news.” Newsrooms in Canada and around the world have suffered from years of decline. From 2008 to 2018, 216 Canadian newsrooms closed their doors, according to researchers. “Big tech would rather spend money changing their platforms to block news from Canadians instead of paying a small share of the billions they make in advertising dollars,” Pablo Rodriguez, member of Parliament for Honoré-Mercier, said Thursday on Twitter. Google reported $40.69 billion in Search revenue for the second quarter of 2023. § Monopolies⠀➾ * ⚓ CNBC ☛ The_biggest_takeaways_from_Microsoft’s_courtroom_showdown_with the_FTC_over_Activision_Blizzard⠀⇛ Here’s a rundown of notable facts that have trickled out in recent days and are still lingering after both parties presented their closing arguments on Thursday. * § Patents⠀➾ o ⚓ Dennis Crouch/Patently-O ☛ Stumbling_in_the_Dark:_Regional Circuit_Law_at_the_Federal_Circuit⠀⇛ One of the oddest things about the Federal Circuit is that, in the court’s view, it’s powerless to decide many issues of federal law that arise in the appeals presented to it. Sure, on matters of patent law, what the Federal Circuit says binds district courts, the Patent Office, and future panels of the Federal Circuit itself. Ditto for nonpatent matters the Federal Circuit considers “unique” to patent disputes. But, on pretty much every other issue in a Federal Circuit patent appeal—whether it be transfer of venue, the permissible scope of discovery, co-pending antitrust or copyright claims, or anything else—the Federal Circuit asserts no “law-saying” power. Instead, the Federal Circuit—and district courts in cases that will be appealed to the Federal Circuit—apply the precedent of the regional circuit from which the case arose. * § Copyrights⠀➾ o ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Major_Labels_Need_an_Anti-Piracy_Sleuth_to_Probe Pirate_Apps⠀⇛ A brand new job listing hopes to recruit a new investigator to the Content Protection & Enforcement department at global recording industry group IFPI. The successful candidate will investigate everything from pirate apps, streaming platforms and the metaverse, to emerging technologies such as AI. They will also be familiar with specific software tools that help to map pirate networks and provide evidence in support of lawsuits. o ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Former_Anti-Piracy_Boss_Becomes_Sony_Music’s_AI Chief⠀⇛ After heading UK music industry trade organization BPI for years, Geoff Taylor will now take on the role of Vice President of AI at Sony Music. The switch from the anti- piracy frontlines to this newly created AI position is noteworthy and Taylor’s former reflections on how the industry dealt with Napster could prove relevant to AI today. o ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Egyptian_Authorities_Shut_Down_Movizland_and Arrest_Operator⠀⇛ With help from anti-piracy coalition ACE, Egyptian law enforcement authorities have shut down Movizland, one of the larger pirate sites in the Middle East. The operation, which was purportedly operated out of Cairo, Egypt, had over 10 million monthly visits and offered access to roughly 34,000 pirated movies and series. o ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Soap2Day_Shut_Down_By_Federal_Court_Following Hollywood_Legal_Action⠀⇛ The operators of Soap2Day, one of the world’s most popular pirate streaming sites, offered no reasons when they suddenly shut down the site mid-June but a very credible explanation has emerged in Canada. At the end of May, a dozen companies including several Hollywood studios, Netflix and Bell Media, launched legal action against Soap2Day.

If you are looking for a Vim-like editor that is modern and lightweight yet powerful, here’s a list of the best Vim-inspired text editors that are more user-friendly. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ LinuxConfig ☛ 2023-06-26_[Older]_How_to_bind_an_SSH_public key_to_a_specific_command⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-06-30_[Older]_2_ways_for_Installing_TeamViewer_in Debian_12_BookWorm_Linux⠀⇛ # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Cool_URLs_keep_their_contents_(an obvious_point_that_still_matters)⠀⇛ It has been an article of faith for some time that “cool URLs don’t change”, as seen in (for example) this 1998 W3C article written by Tim Berners-Lee (you may have heard of him). Sadly, time has shown that cool URLs do often change, and sometimes they become inaccessible even when they don’t change. But there is another part of this that I feel the need to say out loud: cool URLs keep their contents. # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_evolving_Unix_attitudes_on handling_signals_in_your_code⠀⇛ To simplify the story, as Unix grew both programs and the C library became more complex, with more complex internal operations going on, and people became less tolerant of flaky programs than they might have been in a simple research operating system. Eventually people began to think about threads, and also about standardizing what signal handlers could legally do as part of POSIX. This resulted in the current situation where POSIX signal handlers are very constrained in what they can legally do, especially in threaded programs. To simplify things, you can call some C library functions (primarily to interact with the operating system), or set a flag, and that’s about it. A particular Unix may go beyond the POSIX requirements to make other things safe in signal handlers, and programs may break these requirements and still get away with it most of the time, but today there isn’t much you can safely do in a signal handler within the C API. # ⚓ James G ☛ How_to_Delete_a_Webmention⠀⇛ To delete a webmention, first remove a piece of content from your website. Then, ensure the page returns a 410 Gone HTTP status code. This status code indicates that a piece of content has been permanently removed a site. Then, resend a Webmention to the URL to which you originally sent the mention. If implemented, the Webmention receiver used by the site to which you sent the Webmention will acknowledge the 410 then delete the mention from their database. For example, webmention.io, a popular webmention receiver, has implemented deletion support. # ⚓ Unix Men ☛ Enhancing_Linux_Security_with_Network_Access Control_Software:_Safeguarding_Your_Networks_and_Data [Ed: Yet more Webspam_disguised_as_‘article’_about_“Linux”]⠀⇛ # ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ How_to_Install_Themes_in_Xfce_or_Xubuntu⠀⇛ A simple guide on how to install themes in Xubuntu or any Linux distribution featuring Xfce desktop.

While the handheld has gone on sale in the past as well, this time around, prices are slashed by up to 20%. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ Top_10_Best_Themes_for_Xfce_Desktop⠀⇛ Xfce desktop environment is known for its lightweight and customizable nature. With a wide range of themes available, you can personalize your Xfce desktop to match your unique style and preferences. Let’s explore some of the best Xfce themes that will truly enhance your desktop experience. # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Carl Schwan ☛ Kirigami_Addons_0.9.0⠀⇛ FormGridContainer makes it possible to make the information exposed with MobileForm more compact by putting multiple small cards in the same row. The number of columns by default is 3 on desktop unless the total number of cards makes it more sensible only to use 2 columns (e.g when there are only 2 or 4 elements). On mobile the number of columns is reduced to only 2. This new component was initially made by Rishi Kumar for the info grid that Tokodon, with some further improvement from myself. Here is how this looks with Tokodon. # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ GNOME_45’s_File_Manager_Gets_Search Performance_Boost,_Better_Grid_View⠀⇛ Nautilus in GNOME 45 is getting a search performance boost and the ability to refocus the search bar using Ctrl+F, support for dropping images directly from web pages, redesigned Visible Columns options to allow you to change default columns, as well as the ability to display bytes size as a tooltip for folder properties. The Grid View has been improved as well for the GNOME 45 desktop environment to indicate starred files too. Moreover, it looks like Nautilus will boost a more adaptive design where the sidebar width will now adapt to the window width and use a breakpoint for adaptiveness. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Reviews⠀➾ # ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Review:_Kumander_Linux_1.0⠀⇛ It has been over a decade since I have used Windows with any degree of regularity and two decades since I used the operating system at home. For this reason, I tend not to gravitate toward Linux distributions which try to look or act like Microsoft’s operating system. I don’t have anything against them, but resembling Windows isn’t a selling point for me the way it would be for someone in the process of migrating from Windows to Linux. Projects like Zorin OS, for example, I admire as good options for Linux newcomers, but they don’t hold a special appeal for me based on their appearance. With that said, I really liked Kumander’s user interface. I liked the soft blue shades, I liked the high contrast text fonts, I liked the lack of distracting visual effects. I especially liked how unusually fast and responsive the desktop was. Xfce usually performs well, and it was running at top speed during my trial, even in a virtual machine. This allows Kumander to run circles around other distributions I’ve used recently, such as Debian or Ubuntu running GNOME and openSUSE running KDE Plasma. In short, Kumander offers some of the visual design benefits of Windows 7 while doing away with the distracting visual effects, annoying pop-ups, and mass of background services which often make using that operating system unpleasant. There are a few bugs. Kumander just hit its first stable release so things like the task manager shortcut not working or the timezone being set improperly are small issues which are to be expected. They’re small issues and not critical. The one big issue I ran into was GNOME Software not being to install updates and there not being an easy way to fetch security patches from a GUI application. This is a significant problem and will hopefully be addressed with a dedicated update manager or a fix for the software centre in the next release. There are some design choices I have mixed feelings about. Having some configuration modules in the application menu and others in the settings panel feels a touch disorganized. Allowing users to run admin tasks without a password feels on-brand for a distribution trying to imitate Windows, but it’s not a feature I feel good about. Then again, I’m not the target audience and many users will probably appreciate this characteristic. For a first stable release, Kumander is doing a lot of things well. It’s fast, stable, and achieves its goal of being Windows like (in a good way) without most of the negative aspects of using Microsoft’s product. There are some issues to work out, but few serious problems. o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ EasyOS_Bookworm-series_5.4.6_SFS_available⠀⇛ At this stage not planning to release EasyOS Bookworm-series as a separate release. Instead, have uploaded ‘bookworm_5.4.6_amd64.sfs’, 620MB, an SFS file that can be installed via SFSget. It will run as a complete desktop in a container, with icon on the desktop: [...] # ⚓ Proxmox_Backup_Server_3.0_available⠀⇛ we’re excited to announce the release of Proxmox Backup Server 3.0. It’s based on Debian 12 “Bookworm”, but uses the newer Linux kernel 6.2, and includes ZFS 2.1.12. # ⚓ NOBARA_38_RELEASED!⠀⇛ – Davinci Resolve workaround: will detect if davinci resolve installer has been run from terminal, and after installation will prompt for user to run a wizard to perform additional actions. This wizard will perform the workaround required for Davinci Resolve to run (moving DR-shipped glib2 libraries to a backup folder): (https:// forum.blackmagicdesign.com/ viewtopic.php?f=21&t=180116) – payday 2 workaround: will detect if the native linux version of payday 2 is run, and if so will use the zink driver to run it, as the opengl implementation is currently broken, and the native version is no longer receiving official support. (https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/06/overkill- drops-linux-support-for-payday-2/) () o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ The_post-conference_lull⠀⇛ Ever get that sinking feeling after a huge event you were hyped for is finally over? The worst for me has been returning from AsiaBSDCon each year, but this last weekend sure feels similar. Over time you hold onto the fond memories and are left with positive thoughts, but in the immediate aftermath? It’s crushing. I suppose it’s a way for your body to recognise just how exuberant you must have felt, because the difference is so stark. Had it been merely middling or average, you’d probably feel little to no difference. o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ Web Pro News ☛ SUSE_Takes_Swipe_At_Red_Hat,_Says_‘We_Are All_Interdependent’⠀⇛ SUSE has weighed in on the Red Hat controversy, setting itself apart and emphasizing its commitment to open source. Red Hat ignited a firestorm in late June with an announcement that it would restrict access to Red Hat Enterprise Linux source code to paying customers. What’s more, the RHEL license prohibits sharing or re-publishing the source code, something that many are saying is a violation of the GPL. Even if it is not a violation of the letter of the law, it certainly is a violation of the spirit. Some had wondered what stance SUSE would take since the two companies share significant similarities. Like Red Hat, SUSE sells support for an enterprise Linux distro, SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE). SUSE also relies on a community-driven distro as its upstream source, openSUSE Tumbleweed, much like Red Hat relies on Fedora. The two companies often share similar legal perspectives, with SUSE quickly following Red Hat’s lead last year when the latter disabled GPU acceleration on AMD GPUs over patent concerns. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ SUSE_commits_to_open-source_principles_in_wake_of Red_Hat_move⠀⇛ In a_statement issued last Thursday, SUSE chief technology officer Dr Thomas Di Giacomo said the implications for vendors, developers and users from Red Hat’s change in policy were significant, adding that the move had caused concern within the open source community. # ⚓ TechTarget ☛ Reimaging,_innovating,_securing_cloud-native at_SUSECON_2023⠀⇛ At SUSECON 2023, SUSE announced cloud-native AI- based observability with Opni and alluded to more announcements this year. Leaders emphasized cloud- native tech and modernization. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾  # ⚓ [Old] Akseli Lahtinen ☛ My_thoughts_on_Flatpak_(that_nobody asked_for)⠀⇛ If you’re starved for space, you may be better off just uninstalling Flatpaks in general and then using native packages, which (hopefully) your distro manages for you so that the dependencies are shared. And no, saying “bro, just buy more space, bro” is not an excuse. Not everyone has that luxury, especially if they live in poorer countries and such. It’s time to stop this silly notion of making things bigger because “well we have so much space now.” # ⚓ Fudzilla ☛ Red_Hat_in_full_spin_mode_after_restrictions_on Enterprise_Linux_sources⠀⇛ Red Hat is finding itself with a rebellion on its hands after it announced it would limit access to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux sources by putting them behind the Red Hat Customer Portal and limited to the CentOS Stream sources. This move causes problems for free-of-cost derivatives like AlmaLinux and has been greeted with the same unbridled joy from open sourcers as Tsar Putin had when he heard his former cook was marching on Moscow. Red Hat this week issued another blog post by Mike McGrath, the VP of Core Platforms Engineering at Red Hat. In the post, he talks up “Red Hat’s commitment to open source” in which he said that the outfit did make its hard work readily accessible to non-customers. # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ 4_Ways_Red_Hat’s_Source_Code_Restrictions Affect_Other_Distros⠀⇛ Early in June 2023, Red Hat announced that they would limit access to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) source code to paying customers. This change caused a stir within the Linux community, as dozens of downstream distributions rely on the public RHEL source code to provide 1:1 compatibility. With so many enormous changes looming, it’s easy to wonder how they will affect downstream distros. # ⚓ Open Source Security (Audio Show) ☛ Episode_382_–_Red_Hat, you_were_the_chosen one!⠀⇛ Josh and Kurt talk about Red Hat closing up the RHEL source code. Kurt and Josh both worked at Red Hat in the past. This isn’t a show that bashes Red Hat, and it’s not a show praising them. We take an honest look at the past, present, and future of Linux. There’s a lot to talk about in this one. TL;DR, Red Hat was the chosen on, and we all feel betrayed. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ 2023-06-29_[Older]_Red_Hat_Enterprise Linux_Management_with_in-place_upgrades⠀⇛ # ⚓ Ars Technica ☛ Red_Hat’s_new_source_code_policy_and_the intense_pushback,_explained⠀⇛ When CentOS announced in 2020 that it was shutting down its traditional “rebuild” of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) to focus on its development build, Stream, CentOS suggested the strategy “removes confusion.” Red Hat, which largely controlled CentOS by then, considered it “a natural, inevitable next step.” Last week, the IBM-owned Red Hat continued “furthering the evolution of CentOS Stream” by announcing that CentOS Stream would be “the sole repository for public RHEL-related source code releases,” with RHEL’s core code otherwise restricted to a customer portal. (RHEL access is free for individual developers and up to 16 servers, but that’s largely not the issue here). Red Hat’s post was a rich example of burying the lede and a decisive moment for many who follow the tricky balance of Red Hat’s open source commitments and service contract business. Here’s what followed. # ⚓ Slashdot ☛ 2023-07-01_[Older]_Former_Canonical_Developer_is Working_on_a_Script_that_Replaces_Snaps_with_Flatpaks⠀⇛ o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Beta News ☛ Debian_12_Bookworm-based_Peppermint_OS_Linux distribution_now_available⠀⇛ In the ever-evolving landscape of Linux distributions, Peppermint OS, well-loved for its unique combination of speed, elegance, and simplicity, has unveiled a freshly minted update, introducing a refined look and a bunch of enhanced features. With a build date of July 1, 2023, this Debian-based operating system will surely cool down your summer with its delightful refinements. The first striking change is the updated branding. Peppermint OS has received a facelift in terms of aesthetics with a new Plymouth design, demonstrating the development team’s commitment to continual improvement and modernization. This uplift is a welcomed change, presenting users with a fresh and visually appealing boot-up experience. # ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ PeppermintOS_Upgrade_Based_on_Debian_12_is Here!⠀⇛ PeppermintOS can be regarded as one of the most lightweight and flexible Linux distros. Over the years, it has received a steady stream of updates, and this time, a new major release promises a host of improvements. Let’s take a look at what it offers. # ⚓ OMG! Linux ☛ Peppermint_OS_Update_Released_Based_on_Debian 12⠀⇛ Two versions of Peppermint OS are available to download: one based on Debian, and one based Devuan. Both use the Xfce desktop environment. This post concerns the Debian edition updated on July 1, 2023. # ⚓ PeppermintOS ☛ Peppermint_OS_(Debian)_Release⠀⇛ The Peppermint team would like to announce that we have released our Debian(bookworm) base. You can download the new files from here. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_23.10’s_New_Software_App_Will_Demote DEBs_(Apparently)⠀⇛ Don’t get too excited; the new store is one you’ve heard about before (if you read this site, at least). It’s the community-created Flutter software hub I wrote about last year, which Ubuntu devs later expressed interest in making official — and thus did. A couple of interesting — and potentially controversial — things planned for the first official incarnation of the tool were revealed recently so I figured I’d ferry along word. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Geniatech_SoM_integrates_Rockchip_RK3588 Octa-core_processor⠀⇛ The Geniatech SOM3588 is another Rockchip-based System-on-Module designed for commercial and industrial applications. Additionally, the company launched a compatible carrier board with Wi-Fi 6/ BT5.0 support, GbE LAN and many other peripherals. As its name implies the SOM3588 is built on the RockChip RK3588 processor with an 8nm process similar to the Forlinx FET3588-C SoM. # ⚓ Liliputing ☛ Purism_found_a_way_to_make_its_Linux_phone even_more_expensive:_meet_the_$2,199_Liberty_Phone⠀⇛ When Purism first announced plans to build a smartphone that would run mainline Linux, the company set a launch price of $599 for the Librem 5 phone. But it took another two years for the phone to begin shipping in small batches. By then, it had received a $100 price hike. In the years since then, Purism has raised the price several more times… by a lot. An entry-level Librem 5 now sells for $1,299 and customers who want a made-in-the-USA model can pay $1,999 for a phone that’s basically the same, but promises a “secure supply chain” for folks worried about buying phones made in China. And now… there’s an even more expensive model called the Liberty Phone. It has a little more memory and storage and a $2,199 price tag. # ⚓ Linux On Mobile ☛ 2023-06-25_[Older]_Weekly_GNU-like_Mobile Linux_Update_(25/2023):_Mobian_on_PineTab_2_and_Droidian Trixie⠀⇛ # ⚓ GSM Arena ☛ Flashback:_phones_that_weren’t,_part_4:_making a_new_smartphone_OS_is_hard⠀⇛ The more tech-savvy among you probably know that Android is based on the Linux kernel. But it is nothing like a typical Linux that you may have seen on PCs – or on smartphones. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Orange_Pi_Zero_3_Allwinner_H618_SBC_ships with_up_to_4GB_RAM⠀⇛ The Orange Pi Zero 3 is a compact Allwinner H618 quad-core Arm Cortex-A53 SBC with 1GB to 4GB RAM, 16MB SPI flash, micro HDMI output, Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0, a USB 2.0 port, and two headers for expansion. It provides an update to the Allwinner H616-powered Orange Pi Zero 2 SBC quadrupling the maximum memory to 4GB and embedding a larger SPI flash. The new board basically offers the same ports but in a different layout and a slightly smaller form factor. The main difference between Allwinner H616 and Allwinner H618 is that the latter comes with 1MB L2 cache for better performance. Another significant difference relates to software support with the new Orange Pi Zero 3 board supporting more recent operating systems such as Android 12 for TV, Ubuntu 22.04, and Debian 12, as can be seen from the simplified Orange Pi Zero 2 / Orange Pi Zero 3 comparison table below. # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Geniatech_SoM_integrates_Rockchip_RK3588 Octa-core_processor⠀⇛ The Geniatech SOM3588 is another Rockchip-based System-on-Module designed for commercial and industrial applications. Additionally, the company launched a compatible carrier board with Wi-Fi 6/ BT5.0 support, GbE LAN and many other peripherals. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Stargirl Flowers ☛ My_experience_building_a_Voron_2.4⠀⇛ Finally, I wanna share a bit about my experience with the community since Voron is its community. Overall, my experience was really positive- I really love how freely folks share their builds, experiences, and modifications for others. I love the collaboration between the designers, community, and vendors. For the most part, folks and organizations seem genuinely investing in making everything better for everyone. However, nothing is perfect. Voron’s community is spread across a bunch of platforms. There’s the official forums, the TeamFDM forums, the official Discord, and a subreddit. Since the Voron subreddit remains private in the face of Reddit’s recent policy changes, a large amount of discoverable knowledge has been lost. The Discord seems to be the most used and contains both an active user base and a ton of accumulated knowledge. Unfortunately, this knowledge mostly stays confined to Discord where it becomes harder and harder to discover and share over time. The Discord users are generally helpful, but some have fallen into the pattern of scolding new users for not reading pinned threads or knowing some other assumed knowledge. This culture combined with the high amount of activity and the extraordinarily large amount of channels leads to an environment that can be difficult for some to participate in. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ The_Best_Smartwatches_For_Android_Users, Ranked⠀⇛ # ⚓ XDA ☛ How_to_clear_app_cache_on_Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ How_to_remove_viruses_and_malware_from_an Android_phone⠀⇛ # ⚓ GSM Arena ☛ Samsung_Galaxy_S23_Ultra_spotted_running Android_14_on_GeekBench_–_GSMArena.com_news⠀⇛ # ⚓ Phone Arena ☛ OnePlus_Nord_3:_Sorry,_Galaxy_and_Pixel_– Nothing_can_stop_the_new_Android_flagship-killer!_– PhoneArena⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Sun ☛ People_are_just_realizing_Android_has_special security_setting_that_stops_snoopers_spying_on_you_|_The_US Sun⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ Hari Rana ☛ Hari_Rana:_Problems_With_Not_Raising_Awareness_and Protecting_Marginalized_Groups_in_FOSS [Ed: Not a FOSS issue, a STEM issue or societal issue]⠀⇛ Message from former GNOME Foundation member: “I had to de-list from planet GNOME because of the threats, harassment, and utter garbage I was getting both in my blog comments and sent to me via other channels and I just let my foundation membership lapse and stopped being an active GNOME contributor. ☹️ I get that occasionally in other open source projects like even in Fedora, but it was really next level in terms of nastiness and volume… GNOME is just super high-visible and/or somehow is a magnet for these people”. o ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 6_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_eBook_Tools⠀⇛ An electronic book (commonly abbreviated e-book) is a text and image-based publication which can be read on a computer or other digital devices such as an e-book reader. o § Content Management Systems (CMS)⠀➾ # ⚓ MJ Fransen ☛ Moving_from_Pleroma_to_Honk⠀⇛ Honk is a very lightweight ActivityPub server created by Ted Unangst.

It must now have been fifteen or so years that I have used Ubuntu for my desktop / server (for “reasons” I may write about another time). And of course it all passed swimmingly as usual. # ⚓ Evan Hahn ☛ You_might_not_need_Helmet.js⠀⇛ This post is for people familiar with Helmet.js. It was last updated for Helmet 7.0 and Express 4.18. I maintain Helmet, a sorta-popular npm package which sets various HTTP security response headers. It’s designed to be easy to use and integrate, but if you want to avoid a dependency and get a slight performance boost, here’s how. By default, Helmet adds 12 HTTP response headers and removes one. o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ Chris Coyier ☛ Social_RSS⠀⇛ For the most part, I think the RSS reader apps that we have now are actually much nicer than Google Reader ever was. So my nostalgia is very tempered. But the social features of Google Reader, I don’t think, have quite been replicated yet. I wish there were videos or something of how that all worked so I could remember it better, but I seem to remember having friends on Google Reader, well before Google had Google+ or anything like that. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3494 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.03.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Gemini_Links_03/07/2023:_Go_Start_a_Blog_and_RIP,_World_Wide_Web⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 7:43 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Politics_and_World_Events o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ Missing_what_point?⠀⇛ I’ve lived a life of poverty and persecution, and then making something from nothing, hiring people and worrying about how to pay their salaries; I take care of my broke parents, and children, some queer and trans (and I am completely supportive). My life did not include such privileges as choosing pronouns or gender, getting voluntary medical procedures and hormonal treatments, or deciding that other people should bow to me and my lifestyle choices. I was too busy surviving. You are the privileged one here. [...] That is just so offensive. It is precisely the kind of alienating behaviour that, well, alienates certain groups and gives them a bad name. And it looks like you prefer it that way, so you can bitch “those people just don’t get it”. This is what happens when you stew in the same soup – you start normalizing horrible behavior. Aside from the name-calling, do you honestly think that you are clearly communicating yourself to anyone? You can hi-five your buds but as an ambassador for your chosen letter, YOU HAVE FAILED, MISERABLY. # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_AESKNRF_Wordo:_TRAPS⠀⇛ o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Really?⠀⇛ I wasn’t planning on posting today. I have a programming related task that I would rather be doing, something that I find interesting and exciting, but my previous post apparently stirred some things. I’m not going to even link to the replies. You know who you are. But if I ignored what was said I couldn’t live with myself. # ⚓ Coffee,_2_weeks_later⠀⇛ I was heavy drinker of coffee for 20 years. I started to drink coffee at college. It tasted horrible. But I learned it is less unappetizing when milk is added. So, I stopped drinking it 2 weeks ago. From 6 double cups a daný to 0. First day was ok. But than I got heavy headache for a day, when I took a painkiller. And then it was ok. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Docker_(RPi3B)⠀⇛ # ⚓ Bash_alternatives_to_cloud_products_and_platforms⠀⇛ Most web products from file hosting to chat to banking software are made up of a tech ‘stack’ within a large software ecosystem. These are built for ‘scale’ and designed to be administered by a company providing you a more or less turnkey product at various levels of services. You pay for increasing levels of convenience, either with your private information being tracked, or with recurring expenses. This could mean paying annual fees for a ‘creative editing suite’, downloading and running a health tracking app that invisibly sells your data to data brokers, or accessing a social media account that sells your data to advertisers. And there are many more examples you can imagine or read about in the news. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Go_Start_a_Blog⠀⇛ It sure feels like the big tech platforms that people have relied on for years are starting to rot away. There’s lots to be said about X adding rate limiting, Y getting put behind a login, Z killing their API, and one of those things I’ve often seen said is that it feels like the internet is dying. I’m sure it does feel that way if platforms are the main way you interact with the internet, even more so if the companies behind those platforms’ driving force is only valuation. I believe the truth is that in some ways the internet has in fact never been healthier than now. The reason for that is how stupid easy and cheap it is for someone to set up their own space on the internet to do and say whatever they want. And there’s no need to worry about some random executive messing everything up because of their obsession with infinite growth. # ⚓ Advertising⠀⇛ Does gemini have advertising? This boils down to how one defines advertising, which like spam, porn, or bears depends on “I’ll know it when I see it”. A narrow ruling may mandate an advertising company, that is, a commercial involvement with intent to sell. This would exclude other senses such as public notices (road closed due to sinkhole) or promotions: book reviews, great gadget geekouts, the latest game addiction, etc. Gemini has very little of the first sense, but does have the second and especially third. One can, typing in vi, also do product placement. Some placements are less clumsy and more relevant. For instance, the Psi Corps advertisement in Babylon 5 followed a regular advertising block, to the point that you might not realize at first that the show was back on. # ⚓ Mew151⠀⇛ Mew151 has a series of artistic posts titled “Antimoon”, a collection of articles titled “Cyberspace” which are “dedicated to the World Wide Web, programming, and other techy things”, a gemlog, and “Natalie’s Accordion Corner” — a section of the capsule dedicated to accordions, which can even boast its own “Squeeze Blog”. I can hardly wait until after I finish writing this post before reading all of it. Mew151 is also the Gemini capsule of an interesting website. That may seem like something that shouldn’t qualify for the CCOW, but it actually does speak to Gemini’s strengths. # ⚓ RIP,_web⠀⇛ It’s official! The Web is dead! i’m exaggerating, of course, but the demise feels imminent. for too long now search results have been near useless unless you append “reddit” to the end of your search. otherwise you get useless clickbait articles which never get to the point, bombard you with requests to give you push notifications and to accept cookie upon cookie. and the reddit trick is dead, along with reddit! many communities are still locked down! the owners are at odds with its userbase and i can’t see the animosity ever properly clearing. when it comes to websites like this, things only get worse. deterioration and collapse are inevitable. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

At primary school—up until age eleven—it was already pretty bad. At highschool, it was something else. A popular meal at was “chips and gravy”. Chips means what much of the rest of the world calls “fries”, and gravy means something brown out of a packet with hot water added. And that was the whole meal. “Chips and cheese” was popular, too. The cheese did not, of course, deserve the name. # ⚓ An_Interpersonal_Quandary⠀⇛ There is a person in my life, whom I have known for a very long time, who previously lived in my area but left several years ago. A number of my real- life friends know this person and are also friends with them. Not long ago they came to visit the area, and as a result, they were included in many of my in-person interactions for a while. Though this person and I were (and to an extent still are) close, I have always had my grievances about them. When they lived near me, they would frequently get on my nerves, intentionally or otherwise. We once thought very similarly about the world, but our views have drifted apart over the years, I moving more in one direction and they in another. They wish they still lived in the area, and I sympathize with that, but I have to admit to myself that I appreciate the distance. # ⚓ Re:_jsreed5:_An_Interpersonal_Quandary⠀⇛ Constantly thinking (about an) “I” maintains that dynamic. Therefore, think less about “your” self while interacting with them, and all will be fine…. o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ I_miss_when_point_was_simply_a_beer⠀⇛ But the phrase “black person” seems rather different than that to me, because the adjective “black” *clearly* refers to skin color, so that when used in a similar linguistic context as “queer person” suggests skin color is a description of – if not driving – *person*al behavior – and not just of one or a few, but ALL persons possessing bodies with above average dark skin color. Thusly insisting skin color determines the behavior of an entire swath of people seems roughly the pinnacle of racism to me. # ⚓ Questions_to_be_Considered_Before_Chicago⠀⇛ These are questions that have ruptured throughout queer anarchist history since the late 2000s. Bash Back! has been called many different things over the years. If you ask 5 queer anarchists, you’re likely to get 6 different answers. Some have claimed that it is a decentralized network of autonomous queer anarchist cells. Others have considered it a gang, a tendency, or even just a symbol. According to certain folks, they’re all of these things and more. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ How_to_host_git_repos⠀⇛ In honor of World Give Up GitHub day, here’s a quick guide to how to serve up your own git repos. # ⚓ Rose’s_Recent_Media_Roundup_and_Review_#1⠀⇛ So when I started up this journal one of my intentions was to write a little about things I watch/read/play/listen to, etc. because I want to be a little more mindful about the media I consume. So much of the time I just bounce from one thing to the next to pass the time and ignore the loneliness and bad feelings, so I want to spend a bit of time actually thinking about these things so I can enjoy them more deeply. This isn’t professional or well thought out at all, I’m just rambling. # ⚓ Automated_Bookmarking_to_Kindle_via_forlater.email⠀⇛ If you haven’t tried it out, forlater.email is a great service for getting readable web content. It’s like many other “read later” services in that it takes a web article and turns it into readable text. But unlike other, forlater.email is based on email. # ⚓ Enabling_HTTP/3_(QUIC)_on_nginx⠀⇛ I decided to enable experimental HTTP/3 support for nginx, after it was mainlined at the end of May. It is quite easy, if know how to handle the tiny foot gun, the `add_header` directive. First, you have to check if your nginx version > 1.25 has been built with HTTP/3 support. The one from nginx’s repository obviously has. `nginx -V` has to report `–with-http_v3_module`. Also make sure to allow port 443/UDP in your firewall. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
