http://techrights.org/videos/creating-problems-then-offering-solution.webm Summary: Military-grade IRC trolling (e.g. hijacking people’a accounts, impersonating them, trolling everyone) is typically a sign there’s a_lot_of Microsoft_bad_news_around_the_corner; today we deal with a timely example THE series started by explaining how any agent provocateur du jour (disguising oneself as manners, yet provoking people) can do a lot of damage if given access to “the press”, i.e. to a large audience. Well, the same people who did this to Linus Torvalds have been trying for years to do it to us. Today’s story, told in the form of a video, explains how provocation, impersonation and Code_of_Censorship_(CoC)-boosting by malicious_trolls (some of whom received a salary from Google and from_Red_Hat) leads to IRC chaos, typically around the time Microsoft announces very bad news like tens of thousands of workers being more stressed than ever (morale crisis) with most of them laid off again (they lie to the media about the real numbers and the atmosphere inside the company). While it’s somewhat expected — especially in light of impending mass layoffs (again) — that attempts will be made to distract/discredit us, it’s worth documenting this phenomenon. We’re not alone in this; other communities too have been targeted and are being disrupted by shills and astroturfers, even sophisticated trolls (who just call everyone else a troll, demanding a ban). █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 151 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/07/08/anant-maheshwari-resigns/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/07/08/anant-maheshwari-resigns/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.08.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Microsoft_Presidents_Keep_Resigning_Just_Days_Ahead_of_Rumoured_Mass_Layoffs_ (Another_Huge_Wave,_Maybe_End_of_Month,_Maybe_Next_Week)⠀✐ Posted in Finance, Microsoft, Rumour at 5:33 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Hours ago: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Microsoft_India_president_Anant_Maheshwari_resigns⦈_ Summary: Another Microsoft president has_just_resigned (it's_a_wave); Microsoft spinners must be busy this weekend, preparing for shrewd ways to deliver bad news; they_will_probably_"sell"_or_"disguise"_the_layoffs_as_a_chatbot_"success story".

discussed below Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0 http://techrights.org/videos/police-avoids-the-scene.webm Summary: It increasingly looks like an elaborate festival of gaslighting if not cover-up; people whom I worked for (or with) for many years don't_want_to_talk about crimes committed against my colleague and I; police never went any further than sending template-like E-mails which say nothing at all and cops treat_my_Member_of_Parliament_like_she_does_not_even_exist_to_them — a blatant case of chronic_contempt THIS early morning (at around 3AM) marked one week since I last contacted London about the crimes of Sirius_‘Open_Source’. Much as I expected all along, there was no reply, not even an acknowledgement that they were handling my E- mails (nothing bounced, those were successfully received at their end). What does that tell us about British police or about police in general? “This saga is far from over. We’ve already escalated the matter today at noon.”What can one conclude about crimes committed by government contractors, which are in turn protected by the government? What if the crimes are committed against the staff? Should that even matter? If the system of law enforcement has become a system of selective enforcement (wherein selections are done by those in power), then it’s not a functioning system of Law and Order or the Rule of Law. It’s a dictatorship of monarchs widely disguised and sold to the public — even to the whole world — as a democracy. The video above also discusses past_engagements_with_the_police. They were never helpful, only polite (to a point). This saga is far from over. We’ve already escalated the matter today at noon. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 356 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/07/08/economic-crime-victim-care-unit-failing-victims/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/07/08/economic-crime-victim-care-unit-failing-victims/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.08.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Reporting_Police_Inaction_(Regarding_Fraud_Connected_to_the_British Government)_to_the_Independent_Police_Complaints_Commission_(IPCC)_or Independent_Office_for_Police_Conduct_(IOPC)⠀✐ Posted in Deception, Europe, Fraud, Free/Libre_Software at 2:32 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇ECVCU_Victim_Contact⦈_ Real function? Saving face? Response to bad press? Reaction to betrayed victims? Summary: The very serious crimes_committed_by_Sirius_'Open_Source' while I worked there (I didn’t know until this year) are leaving many people in the British government red-faced and the police (at several levels already) is trying to sweep the whole thing under a rug The pension_fraud at Sirius_‘Open_Source’ might only be the edge of a very large iceberg. What do managers know? Some contact us with a tone resembling “begging”. If they were not being properly audited due to scale-related exemptions, what other financial crimes were also being committed? Only managers from that time may know the full extent of the fraud, wage theft, etc. “It’s all very Kafkaesque. What started as outright fraud at Sirius, a small government contractor, is now a scandal implicating the whole British system.”Readers may wonder why we haven’t covered this topic for a week. We just needed to give police as much as a week to reply and since there’s no progress, we’re now escalating further (higher). For those who missed what we covered last month, our regime tried to pretend that pension fraud committed by itself (via a contractor) is like falling for some Nigerian scammer online and victims can be brushed off with some “advice” rather than law enforcement. As if having a chat over the telephone would do; babytalk rather than imprisoning those responsible, i.e. those who were paid by our own regime. We call that “arse-covering” here; they know they’re culpable, so they’re just trying to tire down the complainants. So later on, maybe later this week, I will report to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) or Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC); not that they will fix it, I don’t expect the cover-up to stop at the police, but it’ll make a point. It’s all very Kafkaesque. What started as outright fraud at Sirius, a small government contractor, is now a scandal implicating the whole British system. It’s shielding the criminals instead of protecting their victims. “I hope that it had a specific enough (and accurate enough) call to action for them to work with,” one person advised me last month. “It’s good that there are still additional options in reserve. However, this one might take a lot of back-and-forth negotiation before moving forward. It’s very important to emphasise that many former employees were also ripped off by Sirius in this manner. And that the manner of the ripoff is very likely a serious crime in the UK.” We’ve just spoken to additional informed people and escalating this to the British media (mainstream press) is still in the cards. But the higher up we go now, the bigger this blunder becomes. The chain of complicity becomes longer. “We’ve just spoken to additional informed people and escalating this to the British media (mainstream press) is still in the cards. But the higher up we go now, the bigger this blunder becomes. The chain of complicity becomes longer.”Speaking to supervisory agencies is just one of 10 escalation steps ahead (we have them written down; it’s a checklist for a broken system). As a reminder, on the last Monday of June things escalated to London’s authorities (they know me in person because I worked for them and went there in person), which in turn referred the case to ECVCU Victim Contact/City of London Police. Knowing the people will help a lot, I think, but the people they referred me to don’t know me. As a recap, it all started in March with Greater Manchester Police (repeatedly insisting I defer to Action Fraud after nearly 40 minutes on the phone), then Action Fraud (4 weeks, no action), then my MP contacting Action Fraud (4 weeks, no response), then London’s authorities (GLA), then ECVCU Victim Contact/City of London Police. Exactly one week ago (Saturday morning) I wrote to them: We have received a referral in relation to the report you made to Action Fraud, crime reference number [redacted] refers. As part of our service we are contacting you to offer further advice, guidance and support regarding your fraud, which you will find below. In addition, if you would like us to make contact with you to discuss further, could you please provide us with your telephone number and one of our Victim Contact Advisors will attempt to call you on a day and at a time convenient to you. We operate Monday to Friday from 0900-1800. If you have any concerns regarding the authenticity of this email, please refer to our website for reassurance and further information, http://www.actionfraud.police.uk/vcoa- unit Hi, City of London Police, It is now July. What is the latest progress on this? Have arrests been made yet? If you are not progressing the case, I will escalate higher. Regards, They did not even bother responding to me. It was my second message to them. They don’t even respond. Typical, more of the same. And to repeat what was said here before, the complaint to HMRC regarding Sirius went nowhere. Now almost 2.5 months without even a reply. One must thus deduce that unless one is an oligarch or a King, operating through a network/legion of well-connected lawyers, HMRC (HM stands for His Majesty’s) is unresponsive to reports of tax fraud. HMRC (cherry-) picks on the vulnerable, who lack legal defence. It’s “cheaper” this way. So what comes next is a referral to the Independent_Police_Complaints Commission_(IPCC). It’s now known as the Independent_Office_for_Police_Conduct_ (IOPC) and except in Northern Ireland there seems to be no ombudsman for the police, so this seems to be the last resort at this level. The police level. The cops have political masters too, so we’ve not exhausted the options. “The cops have political masters too, so we’ve not exhausted the options.”A lot of people have understandably become cynical about “the system” and how it’s definitely not working. But proving this or demonstrating that as an actual victim of a crime takes a lot of work. While we still have some remnants of democracy and free speech it is still feasible to safely or almost safely criticise and challenge key institutions, even courts and police. If we don’t exercise those freedoms, we’ll lose them and criminals/oligarchs will control everything, like in Russia or China. As a side note, the police does not even name its unit consistently. It seems to be more about keeping up appearances rather than doing anything. For instance, what London_municipality_called_“Economic_Crime_Victim_Care_Unit” is not consistent with E-mails that say “Economic Crime Victim CONTACT Unit”. A cynic might say that maybe they changed names as they decided they did not CARE and would just CONTACT instead (but would not even respond to messages from the victims whom they contact!). A care unit became contact unit (same acronym) and there is also National Economic Crime Victim Care Unit (NECVCU), albeit not the same thing. They’re not even sure what to call themselves. Here’s the Victims Commissioner. Someone has told me that in the United States police don’t say victim. They say “complaining witness”. “We might follow up with GLA (London Municipality; the company is based there) and local MPs to remind them what sort of police forces they’re funding. It generally signals to everyone out there that crime pays off and if one commits a crime and gets caught, no punishment will follow. Even if one lives in the UK and still operates in the UK, with impunity.”In short, the police here has made no effort at all to tackle the crime. To make matters worse, they talk to us like we bought fake ‘crypto’ coins or something inane like that; or sent money to a Nigerian prince… But this is not what happened; it was a well coordinated scam by govornment entities and they don’t want to be left holding the bag. Instead they pretend we’re all just stupid and this won’t end well. We’ll escalate this matter further and then escalate to media/press, as legal action is too slow. We might follow up with GLA (London Municipality; the company is based there) and local MPs to remind them what sort of police forces they’re funding. It generally signals to everyone out there that crime pays off and if one commits a crime and gets caught, no punishment will follow.

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇UK_Home_Office⦈_ The rot goes further up than Sirius itself Summary: The crimes of Sirius_‘Open_Source’ cannot be isolated from the British government as Sirius was a prolific government contractor for Free software projects THE one point people seem to be missing is worth emphasising very clearly. What happened to me and to my colleagues at a Sirius isn’t a blunder limited in scope to some single private company. In the case of City of London Police and GLA (local), there is an obvious conflict of interest. They don’t want to investigate the issue and hold people accountable as it may implicate themselves. “There are other ‘high level’ clients — ones that the company publicly brags about in its Web site.”But there are aspects that aren’t local to a borough or city. UK Home Office, for instance, was briefly a client (among about_a_dozen other_government_agencies/departments). There are other ‘high level’ clients — ones that the company publicly brags about in its Web site.

Half of my problems with Windows have to do with its lackluster support for controllers, and if it wants to be the gaming operating system, it needs to be better in this regard. If SteamOS was officially released for PCs, I’d definitely switch to it for my Steam Machine. If I didn’t depend on my desktop for my job, I might even put SteamOS on it too (with the right accessories, of course). But it doesn’t just have to be about gaming or even other focused experiences for PC hardware. I still hold out hope that one day, some company will make a Linux distro that does what Windows does but better, especially if it’s anything like the Steam Deck vs the ROG Ally. It doesn’t even need to be free; Windows isn’t free, and I don’t expect contributors to an open-source project to do it for free either. Linux is a powerful operating system with the potential to replace Windows, but only in the hands of an organization with a vision and resources. o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ Bootlin ☛ Welcome_to_Thomas_Richard⠀⇛ Bootlin is really happy to welcome another engineer in its team: Thomas Richard, who joined us on July 3, 2023 (missing a participation to the Embedded Linux Conference Europe by just one week!).

But there are legitimate concerns in the mix, too, that may require some rules of the road. If so, policymakers should answer some important questions before crafting or passing on those rules. As always, the devil is in the details, and EFF is here to help you sort through them to identify solid strategies and potential collateral damage.  First, policymakers should be asking whether the new legislation is both necessary and properly focused. Generative AI is a category of general- purpose tools with many valuable uses. For every image that displaces a potential low-dollar commission for a working artist, there are countless more that don’t displace anyone’s living—images created by people expressing themselves or adding art to projects that would simply not have been illustrated. Remember: the major impact of automated translation technology wasn’t displacing translators—it was the creation of free and simple ways to read tweets and webpages in other languages when a person would otherwise not know what was being said.   Sometimes we don’t need a new law— we just need to do a better job with the ones we already have # ⚓ Niantic_restructures_its_approach_and_announces_layoffs, prioritizing_Pokémon_Go⠀⇛ Niantic, the company that developed Pokémon Go, has announced major organizational changes, including layoffs, game closures, and the closure of its studio in Los Angeles.

The decision was announced Friday. Biden says it was a “difficult decision” but “the Ukrainians are running out of ammunition” and the cluster bombs should provide a temporary fix. There are widespread concerns about civilian casualties from cluster bombs. But the Pentagon says the munitions it will provide to Ukraine have a reduced “dud rate.” That means fewer of the unexploded rounds that can result in unintended civilian deaths. Cluster bombs open in the air to hit multiple targets at once. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ RFA ☛ US_climate_envoy_John_Kerry_to_visit_China⠀⇛ Kerry will become the third member of President Joe Biden’s cabinet to travel to Beijing in a month. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Yellen_urges_unity_with_China_to_fight climate_change⠀⇛ The United States and China, as the world’s two largest economies, must work together to combat the “existential threat” of climate change, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has told Chinese government officials and climate experts. During a visit to Beijing, where she met with Chinese Premier Li Qiang, Yellen said previous co- operation on climate change between the US and China had made possible global breakthroughs such as the 2015 Paris Agreement. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Yellen_Urges_China_to_Cooperate_More_on Climate_Finance⠀⇛ Janet Yellen, the Treasury secretary, said China, the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, can have “greater impact” tackling climate change by working with other nations. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ “Double_Agents”:_Lobbyists_for_Big_Tech, Universities_&_Eco_Groups_Also_Work_For_Fossil_Fuel Industry⠀⇛ A damning new database reveals thousands of lobbyists are working for fossil fuel companies at the same time they represent hundreds of cities, universities, tech companies and even environmental groups that claim to be taking steps to address the climate crisis. We speak with The Guardian’s environmental reporter Oliver Milman. “It’s clear that the wielding of political power and influence is far more important to them than staying true to any kind of ideals of distancing themselves fully from the fossil fuel industry,” says Milman. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ Bill_McKibben:_Climate_Crisis_Needs_Urgent Action_as_Earth_Records_Hottest_Temps_Ever⠀⇛ This week unprecedented temperatures driven by climate change shattered heat records around the world. More records could be broken soon, as scientists say 2023 is set to be one of the warmest years in the history of planet Earth. “We can’t stop global warming at this point,” says Bill McKibben, co-founder of 350.org. “All we can do is try to stop it short of the place where it cuts civilizations off at the knees.” McKibben says these temperatures are the “inevitable result” of fossil fuel use, criticizes politicians for their simultaneous embrace of renewable energy and fossil fuels, and calls on activists to disrupt the status quo: “This is the last of these moments we’re going to have when the world is summoned to action by events and when there’s still time to make at least some difference in the question of how hot it ultimately gets.” o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Robodebt_report_evidence_now_in_hands of_crime_fighters⠀⇛ Federal police and the anti-corruption watchdog are considering civil and criminal evidence following a damning report into the robodebt scheme.

The Cabinet Office launched a judicial review case against Hallett’s request last week. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ In_Arizona_Water_Ruling,_the_Hopi_Tribe_Sees Limits_on_Its_Future⠀⇛ In September 2020, the Hopi Tribe’s four-decade effort to secure its right to water culminated in a court proceeding. The outcome would determine how much water the arid reservation would receive over the next century and whether that amount would be enough for the tribe to pursue its economic ambitions. Under rules unique to Arizona, the tribe would have to justify how it would use every drop it wanted. The monthslong ordeal in Arizona’s Superior Court unfolded in video calls over shaky internet connections. # ⚓ EFF ☛ Settled_Human_Rights_Standards_as_Building_Blocks_for Platform_Accountability_and_Regulation:_A_Contribution_to_the Brazilian_Debate⠀⇛ Since at least a decade ago, human rights institutions have acknowledged the enabling potential of the internet to realize a range of human rights. Digital technologies have been incredibly transformative tools for allowing people to speak out against arbitrary acts of public and private powers, empowering the expression of historically vulnerable, marginalized and silenced groups, catalyzing civic organization and participation, and facilitating innovative ways to collectively build and share knowledge. Since then, the right to seek, receive, and impart information has enabled the exercise of other rights and strengthened the internet ecosystem, but not without backlashes and critical challenges. The current discussion about platform regulation in Brazil, both in the draft bill known as “PL 2630”  and in constitutional cases pending in the country’s Supreme Court, demonstrates that much effort is going into addressing these challenges, but also shows that proper responses are not simple to craft. We should be able to tailor these responses safeguarding the positive potential of digital technologies and the essential role freedom of expression, including access to information, plays in preserving democratic societies. # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ Video_shows_Britney_Spears inadvertently_hit_herself_in_the_face_in_encounter_with Victor_Wembanyama⠀⇛ Police say no charges will be filed following a brief investigation of the altercation involving pop star Britney Spears, San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama and a member of the player’s security team. Spears said she was struck by a security guard as she tried to approach Wembanyama near a restaurant in a Las Vegas casino complex on Wednesday night. Wembanyama said a person, who he later found out was Spears, grabbed him from behind. Spears filed a police report, alleging battery. But police say surveillance video shows Spears inadvertently hit herself in the face after her hand was pushed off Wembanyama. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Part_2:_Microsoft_Bolsters_Sony’s_Justification For_Withholding_Console_Info_In_Court_Doc⠀⇛ The ongoing saga that is Microsoft’s attempt to purchase Activision Blizzard continues! As a brief review of the scoreboard will show: the EU has approved the purchase, the UK’s CMA has blocked it and Microsoft has appealed that decision, and the lawsuit brought by the FTC in the States is currently in the pretrial phase. Last we checked in on the FTC suit, Sony’s Jim Ryan gave a deposition in which he claimed that if the purchase was allowed, that Sony might not share information about any future consoles with Microsoft-owned developers like Activision Blizzard out of fear that Microsoft would use that information, critical to giving developers information needed to make games for those future consoles, in ways that Sony wouldn’t like. In that post, I made clear that this was a bad look for Sony, which has several first- party titles on the Xbox, given its anticompetitive nature in a lawsuit that the FTC is bringing on grounds of the merger being anti-competition. # § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Unified Patents ☛ $2,000_for_Pacid_Technologies authentication_patent_prior_art⠀⇛ A new PATROLL contest, with a $2,000 cash prize, was added seeking prior art on at least claim 1 of U.S._Patent_10,171,433, owned by Pacid_Technologies, an NPE. The ‘433 patent generally relates to a security application for a computing device, such as a mobile phone, that allows generation of a secret according to unique user input or credentials.

The Board found that the primary significance of CASINOLA is “the geographical place known as LA, i.e., the City of Los Angeles, California and the highly descriptive term CASINO.” However, the USPTO failed to prove that applicant’s goods will originate there of that consumers will associate applicant’s goods or services with that geographic location.

Cataldo). * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ Commute⠀⇛ There’s one thing I so far miss about my old job. I sort of expected to but I’m still a little surprised by it. My old job was on my university campus about a 20 minute walk from where I lived. My new job is a 20 minute drive, and even though it’s the same amount of travel time I’m missing the old commute a lot more. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Sick_and_Tired_of_Stupid_‘Smart’_Products⠀⇛ It is getting harder and harder to find simple devices that just do their job _without_ a spying app, remotes, rechargeable batteries, USB ports, WIFI, and extremely annoying flashing lights. Yesterday I spent hours trying to by a simple auxilliary speaker for a TV for an elderly hard-of- hearing woman. Simple requirements: plugs into headphone jack; has simple controls (on/off, volume). Deal-breakers: all of the above-listed anti-features. [...] I’ve ranted a lot about lithium batteries, but if you missed it… A lithium battery is an incendiary device just waiting for an opportunity to burn down your house and kill you. A malfunction in the charger — or a cheap charger without a malfunction will overheat a lithium battery to the point of ignition. A puncture will set of a fireworks show you will not soon forget. A lithium fire is almost impossible to put out. And if you look where it comes from and the impact on our planet, you will probably side with me. Many devices don’t even need batteries. But once there is a battery which cannot be removed, you will be buying a new device after 100-200 charging cycles. # ⚓ Looking_should_probably_precede_leaping⠀⇛ Is there anything more telling in the news than news media’s recurring use of the presumptuous phrase “here’s what you need to know” in headlines? # ⚓ The_Ksh_Dot_Builtin⠀⇛ This is ksh working as intended. The “.” or dot builtin performs a PATH search and a .profile file has not been found in any PATH directory.

The main criteria for version 1 were, the compiler should be able to compile its own source code, and also be bootstrappable by the compiler written in assembly. Each version of the compiler is kept in its own branch, so you can find the latest update for version 1 in the v1 branch, though I am going to mainly reference how the source code looked like at tag “v1.0″… =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Worked on by over 3,000 developers, 74 SIGs (special interest groups), and over 200 enterprises, openKylin has come a long way since its early releases. The closest competitor to openKylin would be Deepin, another distro that has come out of China. But it uses a Debian base and cannot be considered independent (or built from scratch). # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ China’s_openKylin_1.0_arrives._Our verdict?_Not_a_bad-looking,_er,_Ubuntu_remix⠀⇛ Version 1.0 of the openKylin Linux distro for the domestic Chinese market is here – and it works pretty well in English, too. As The Reg reported last year, openKylin has been in development for some years. The FOSS desk took openKylin 0.7 for a spin soon afterwards. It reached version 0.9.5 at the start of 2023, and now the finished release 1.0 is available, codenamed “Yangtze” after the great river of China, the longest watercourse in Eurasia. # ⚓ Beta News ☛ TUXEDO’s_5th_generation_Stellaris_17_is_a hardcore_Linux_laptop⠀⇛ Today, TUXEDO launches the 5th generation of the Stellaris 17 — a hardcore gaming and workstation notebook.

The Linux laptop is a high-end desktop replacement encased in a premium chassis. The machine’s remarkable power is made possible by NVIDIA RTX 40 graphics cards (with the option of up to the GeForce RTX 4090) and the top-tier Intel Core i9- 13900HX CPU. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ How_to_install_Windows_11_in_a_VirtualBox_with_Ubuntu_Linux as_host_–_Installation_guide_including_bi-directional_copy- paste,_shared_folders_and_USB_support⠀⇛ We all love Linux, right? Well, not everyone or every company. At least they bring-out their software for Mac OS and/or Windows, only. Which is a shame, no further explanation about that is needed, I guess 😉 # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ How_to_Install_and_Set_Up_Snap_on_Arch Linux⠀⇛ Snap is a modern package management system that promises seamless package distribution and better dependency management in contrast to other package managers. Unlike other Linux distros such as Ubuntu, Arch Linux doesn’t ship with Snap support by default. Fortunately, it is easy to install and configure Snap on Arch Linux. # ⚓ Chris Coyier ☛ Scroll-Driven_Animation_Trick_for_Fit-To- Width_Text⠀⇛ Fit-to-Width Text (from Roman Komarov) is a full- blown 5-star bonafide CSS trick if there ever was one. The idea is “size text to the container” in CSS alone (at least scale it down if it’s too big/ long. The trick is a “scroll-driven animation” and text that overflows a container. As it overflows, it scrolls, thus triggering the animation, which scales the text down. Simpler than you’d think! # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Our_experience_with_nftables_and ‘iptables’_on_Ubuntu_22.04⠀⇛ My current view is that if I was to write rules for some system from scratch in an environment like Ubuntu 22.04, I would directly use nftables and / etc/nftables.conf for a static configuration that I expected to reload if I ever changed things. However, if I had a dynamic configuration where I had to add and delete rules on the fly, I would stick with using the ‘iptables’ command (and its syntax and handling of rules, sub-chains, and so on) rather than try to master using ‘nft’ for this. I’m sure that someday I’ll need to learn dynamic use of ‘nft’, but not today. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Steam_Deck_Gaming:_75%_of_Tested_Games_Now Playable_or_Verified⠀⇛ Valve has been speeding up Steam Deck game testing, and 75% of titles checked have been judged to be verified or playable. # ⚓ Cloudbooklet ☛ Steam_is_Banning_Games_with_AI_Generated Art⠀⇛ Steam, the famous online gaming platform, is reportedly banning the usage of AI generated Art assets in games. This decision caused debate, with some developers claiming that the ban is unfair and unwarranted. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ GTX_1650_Still_Most_Popular_GPU_According to_Newest_Steam_Survey⠀⇛ The latest Steam hardware survey shows minor changes in hardware usage compared to May 2023. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Steam_Deck_Drops_to_All-Time_Low_Price_for Top_Two_Models⠀⇛ As part of the Steam Summer sale, Valve is selling the Steam Deck for up to 20% off, marking its lowest price ever. # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ The_Puzzle_of_Putting_Video_Games_in_a Museum⠀⇛ After years of neglect, art institutions are coming around to games.

Raymond’s 1997 essay “The Cathedral and the Bazaar.” Originally presented as a comparison of a top-down versus a bottom-up methodology in the context of open-source projects, the central metaphor quickly got blurred in the minds of the public into a broader comparison of closed source versus open source, with Raymond’s tacit acquiescence. In this telling, the cathedral was Microsoft’s software-development model, in which a closeted priesthood bestowed programs upon a grateful populace on its own terms and on its own schedule. The bazaar was the hacker way, in which the people came together in a spirit of delightfully chaotic egalitarianism to make software for themselves, sharing their source code in the name of the greater good. “No closed-source developer can match the pool of talent the Linux community can bring to bear on a problem,” wrote Raymond. “The closed-source world cannot win an evolutionary arms race with open-source communities that can put orders of magnitude more skilled time into a problem.” Thanks to Linux and the other open-source tools it enabled, he predicted elsewhere, Microsoft’s eagerly anticipated Windows 2000, the latest incarnation of its server-grade NT operating system, would “be either cancelled or dead on arrival. Either way, it will turn into a horrendous train wreck, the worst strategic disaster in Microsoft’s history.” [...] Those open-source games which have become relatively popular have tended to build upon previous game designers’ visions in much the same way that Chrome is built on Chromium: think FreeCiv or Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe, worthy projects that are nevertheless more interested in making workmanlike technical improvements to their inspirations than bold fundamental leaps in design. The open-source movement has had the most pronounced impact on gaming in the form of tools, both for making games and for playing them. I could never have embarked with you on this journey through history that we’ve been on for over a decade now without the likes of DOSBox, ScummVM, UAE, VICE, and many, many other open-source emulators and utilities of all descriptions. I am deeply grateful to the many talented programmers who have given their time to them in order to keep our digital past accessible. Still, they do remain purely technical projects, not creative ones in the sense of the games which they enable to run on modern hardware. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Nate Graham ☛ This_week_in_KDE:_Akademy_approaches⠀⇛ This week was a bit on the slow side as people are on vacation and preparing for Akademy 2023, which begins next week! Nevertheless progress on Plasma 6 continued, with a notable uptick in open bug reports as a result of more people testing it out, which is good! If you haven’t tried it yet, please do! Progress was also made on fixing existing known issues too. The Breeze cursor theme has received a visual overhaul to make it nicer looking and more consistent with how Breeze style evolved over the course of Plasma 5! # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ This Week in GNOME ☛ Felix_Häcker:_#102_Contextual Back_Buttons⠀⇛ Update on what happened across the GNOME project in the week from June 23 to June 30. AdwNavigationView back buttons now support a context menu allowing to pop multiple pages at once. This works with nested navigation views and even with structures like AdwNavigationSplitView containing navigation views in both content and sidebar. Additionally, back button tooltips are now more reliable – they previously didn’t work in this situation and required the app to manually sync the sidebar page’s title with its navigation view’s visible page. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ The_6_Best_Linux_Distros_for_Network_Engineers⠀⇛ Linux is commonly preferred among network engineers—so if you’ve thought about installing it for your work, you’re not alone. If you’re a network engineer, it’s easy to wonder which distributions will have the best features for your work. Here are the six best Linux distributions for network engineering: [...] o ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Lightweight_Distro_Q4OS_5.2_“Aquarius”_Is_Out_Based on_Debian_12_“Bookworm”⠀⇛ Based on the latest and greatest Debian GNU/Linux 12 “Bookworm” operating system series, Q4OS 5.2 (codename Aquarius) is here with the latest KDE Plasma 5.27 LTS desktop environment, more precisely the Plasma 5.27.5 release, and Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) 14.1.1. Q4OS stays true to its roots in offering users a unique desktop experience where both KDE Plasma and Trinity Desktop Environment can independently coexist. Q4OS makes it easy to switch back and forth between the KDE Plasma and Trinity desktops, the latter providing an old-school KDE3 desktop experience. o ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ Solus_4.4:_The_Long-Awaited_Return_with_Refreshed Desktop_Experience⠀⇛ Anew Solus 4 series release named Solus 4.4 “Harmony” has finally arrived, putting an end to a two-year gap in releases. This eagerly anticipated release comes with a slew of updates to the desktop environment, software stacks, and hardware enablement, marking an important milestone for the Solus project. o ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Solus_Rises_from_the_Ashes_with_the_New_4.4_“Harmony” Release⠀⇛ Solus is a fully-fledged, independent rolling release Linux distribution targeted at desktop users. At the same time, it is also one of the few so-called original ones – written from scratch, relying on its own software repos and package manager, EOPKG. Traditionally associated with Budgie as its flagship desktop environment, Solus has had a difficult two years. After heaps of technical woes and the departure of key developers, users began to worry whether the distribution would last. It even reached where DistroWatch put a “dormant” label on it. o ⚓ Beta News ☛ Solus_4.4_‘Harmony’_Linux_distribution_now_available for_download⠀⇛ Today, the Solus developers have officially released version 4.4 of the Linux-based operating system. Code- named “Harmony,” this new version of the distribution provides updates for its desktop environments, software stacks, and hardware enablement. All Solus editions — Budgie, GNOME, MATE, and KDE Plasma — ship with default applications like Firefox 114.0.1, LibreOffice 7.5.3.2, and Thunderbird 102.12.0. Each edition has a distinct audio-video multimedia playback software, providing a catered user experience. o ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Solus_4.4_“Harmony”_Released_with_Secure_Boot Support,_Linux_6.3,_and_More⠀⇛ Dubbed “Harmony” and powered by Linux kernel 6.3, the Solus 4.4 release is here with Secure Boot support, Intel Arc support, better support for various light sensors and accelerometers, support for AMD Radeon RX 7600, 7900 XT, and 7900 XTX GPUs, support for NVIDIA 40 Series GPUs, and support for laptops with ATH11K Wi-Fi cards. The kernel was tweaked in this release to enable zram by default, providing users with a better experience for computers with 3GB or less RAM. Moreover, the Solus kernel ships with the CONFIG_NFT_FIB_INET option enabled by default to allow the Firewalld/nftables firewall to work. o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Gilles Chehade ☛ Implementing_a_system_call_for_OpenBSD⠀⇛ TL;DR: I found a printed copy of an assignment I had to do in 2005 back when I was a student to implement a system call for OpenBSD and Linux. I lost the original LaTeX file so I decided to rewrite it so I have a digital copy. The article originally covered loadable kernel modules (LKM) which is no longer a thing in OpenBSD, I trimmed that part. I also trimmed the Linux part because I didn’t care about it back then and did the minimum to pass 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇;-)⦈ This article is translated from French. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Informa PLC ☛ Competition_will_be_kicking_itself_over_Red Hat_deal,_says_Nokia_cloud_expert⠀⇛ “It was a very, very smart move on our part. Our competition is probably privately kicking itself it didn’t think of it before we did.” So said Fran Heeran, Nokia’s general manager of core networks, cloud and network services, when Light Reading caught up with him to talk about the Finnish supplier’s tie-up with Red Hat, announced last week. Why the confidence? “[The partnership] is a reaction to the way the market is going,” asserts Heeran. “Our CSP [communications service provider] customers have been telling us they want more choice and openness. More and more CSPs are making separate buying decisions on cloud infra and applications.” # ⚓ When_ChatGPT_arrives_to_code [Ed: Wow, Red Hat is shamelessly and pathetically promoting Microsoft's proprietary spyware. New low for Red Hat?]⠀⇛ Enterprise open source software provider, Red Hat, is developing a generative AI/ML model that will help developers leapfrog automation code and bridge the IT skills gap with reliable and consistent code for automated tasks. Now, a technical preview is available for users to explore. # ⚓ Systemd Free ☛ IBM’s_systemd_attempt_to_pull_the_plug_on distros_using_eudev⠀⇛ The core question here, again and again, is not what this corporation does to manhandle and control FOSS, is that people don’t see the immoral and unethical ways they employee to control everything and everyone. Totally against the spirit of gnu, foss, FSF, unix, whatever you want to call it. They are driving everything to a uniformity of a single system. Linus is whistling apathetically like if it was none of his business. So let us see whether the eudev team is up to the task in saving linux for us. Systemd is up to 253, eudev is back on 243, ten major editions behind. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ ​​Red_Hat_bringing_open_hybrid_cloud_to Red_Hat_IT_provides_key_learnings_for_others⠀⇛ Here at Red Hat, we do things because they are the right things to do for our business, our future and our customers. But it never hurts to be acknowledged for them and to spread the word that what works at Red Hat can work for our current and future customers, too. I’m pleased to note that CNBC has recognized Red Hat for bringing open hybrid cloud to Red Hat IT as part of its annual review of award-winning initiatives. This acknowledgment springs from our work to move off legacy data centers, retire old and unused applications and architect a hybrid cloud infrastructure with distinct availability and security zones, which allowed us to make changes in the overall stack without disrupting operations in IT or the rest of the business. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Small-footprint_keyword_spotting_for_low-resource languages_with_the_Nicla_Voice⠀⇛ Beyond simply building a model to recognize keywords from audio samples, Nurgaliyev and Kuzdeuov’s primary goal was to also deploy it onto an embedded target, such as a single-board computer or microcontroller. Ultimately, they went with the Arduino Nicla Voice development board since it contains not just an nRF52832 SoC, a microphone, and an IMU, but an NDP120 from Syntiant as well. This specialized Neural Decision Processor helps to greatly speed up inferencing times thanks to dedicated hardware accelerators while simultaneously reducing power consumption. # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ A_strange_Commodore_16_reset_line⠀⇛ I’ve mentioned a few times that my Commodore 16 has some strange boot behaviour, though its gradually getting worse. The machine won’t power on immediately, but doing a power cycle after a couple of minutes (usually) brings it to life. The hardware reset switch also does nothing. # ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ Stupidly_Small_eInk_Font⠀⇛ I have the new Watchy eInk watch. It has a cute little screen with a resolution of 200×200 pixels. How much text can we cram in there? # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Pico_Intelligently_Warms_Your Butt⠀⇛ Sure you could buy a heater and turn it on when you get cold but for many makers, it’s much more fun to create a system that does something for you. In Alan’s case, he complained that his butt was seemingly always cold. The obvious solution was to use the power of artificial intelligence to automate a system that will set his butt to a comfortable temperature. # ⚓ Adafruit ☛ Raspberry_Pi_4_based_Pocket_Computer⠀⇛ A fully functional pocket computer with touchscreen, keyboard and trackpoint. # ⚓ Linus Åkesson ☛ Glyptodont_performed_on_the…_Qwertar?⠀⇛ One thing I learned from the Commodordion project was that although the instrument was unwieldy on the whole, playing the right-hand-side keyboard—the one that remains stationary in front of the body—felt quite good. So with that in mind, I decided to build an instrument resembling a guitar. I went through a couple of iterations before settling on the final design. The first idea (which came to me in a dream, actually) was to have a little cart sliding on linear bearings along metal axles, and a rotary encoder to pick up the motion. The cart would have pushbuttons and a microcontroller on it, and the signals from the buttons and the encoder would be transmitted to the C64 electronically over the axles. # ⚓ Old VCR ☛ Refurb_weekend(s):_Commodore/MOS_KIM-1⠀⇛ Actually, it was more like a whole stinking Refurb Two Months. The KIM-1 is the first MOS 6502 computer, a single-board system with 1K of RAM (actually 1152 bytes total) and a one-megahertz CPU developed by Chuck Peddle in 1975 as a way to introduce engineers to the new 8-bit microprocessor. However, its low cost meant it ended up taking on a life of its own as it was one of the cheapest ways to assemble an entire working hobbyist system, and Commodore continued to sell them for several years after they bought MOS. You could hand-key in programs with the hexadecimal keypad and the six LEDs as a display or wire up a TTY. It also supported saving and loading from cassette and paper tape, all built-in to the standard ROMs. # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Disco_button_makes_any_room_funner⠀⇛ Professor John Gallaugher openly welcomes those who “get down with GitHub”, and that’s behaviour we reward around here, so we’re sharing his two-part YouTube lesson showing you how to create a disco button which instantly transforms any room into a party. # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Rockchip_dev_kit_comes_with_2x_GbE_and_Wi- Fi/BT_5.0_support⠀⇛ The Youyeetoo YY3568 is a development board based on the Rockchip RK3568 quad-core 64-bit processor. This embedded product offers a range of versatile features, including a SATA 3.0 interface, a CSI connector, and support for multiple displays. At the heart of the youyeetoo YY3568 System-on- Module is the Rockchip RK3568 System-on-Chip with 22nm lithography process and ARM v8.2 architecture. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ AMD_Versal_Premium_VP1902_SoC_FPGA_provides 18.5M_logic_cells_for_SoC_emulation_and_prototyping⠀⇛ AMD Versal Premium VP1902 adaptive system-on-chip (SoC) is said to be the world’s largest adaptive SoC with the FPGA providing 18.5 million logic cells in order to streamline the verification of complex ASIC and SoC designs. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ There’s_Always_Room_For_Another_Cycle_Accurate PC_Emulator⠀⇛ While many Hackaday readers will have their own pieces of classic hardware lovingly preserved, it still remains that most of us get our fix of retro goodness through emulation. And while there are emulators aplenty for almost every platform imaginable, the world of emulation is never complete. Thus we’re happy to encounter a new player in the form of MartyPC, a cycle-accurate 8088 PC emulator written in Rust. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Phone Arena ☛ Coming_to_Android:_animated_emoji_for messaging,_using_Gboard_to_“undo”_deleted_text_–_PhoneArena⠀⇛ # ⚓ Forbes ☛ Android_Circuit:_Honor_90_Release,_Nothing_(2) Details,_OnePlus_President_Interviewed⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Central ☛ A_Pixel_Watch_‘Wear_OS_Beta_Program’ could_happen_soon_|_Android_Central⠀⇛ # ⚓ Engadget ☛ Meta_launches_a_Threads_beta_program_for_Android |_Engadget⠀⇛ # ⚓ Phone Arena ☛ Android_users_note_a_decline_in_Google Assistant’s_performance_–_PhoneArena⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Sun ☛ Urgent_warning_to_all_Android_owners_to_change settings_as_Google_reveals_‘active’_attack_–_take_action today_|_The_US_Sun⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Sun ☛ Urgent_warning_to_Android_users_over_two_apps secretly_sending_your_data_to_China_–_delete_them_now_|_The US_Sun⠀⇛ # ⚓ Geeky Gadgets ☛ How_to_use_Android’s_Find_My_Phone_feature –_Geeky_Gadgets⠀⇛ # ⚓ Gadget Bridge ☛ How_to_Connect_a_PS3_Controller_to_an Android_Phone?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ How_to_turn_Android’s_Always_On_Display_on or_off⠀⇛ # ⚓ Fudzilla ☛ Android_phone_has_more_RAM_than_a_Macbook_Pro⠀⇛ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ Google_Docs_for_Android_will_open_straight into_edit_mode⠀⇛ # ⚓ Hacker News ☛ Google_Releases_Android_Patch_Update_for_3 Actively_Exploited_Vulnerabilities⠀⇛ # ⚓ GSM Arena ☛ Modular_Fairphone_4_finally_lands_in_the_US_but isn’t_running_Android_anymore_–_GSMArena.com_news⠀⇛ The Fairphone 4 modular smartphone launched back in 2021, at least in Europe. It’s only now making its way to the US, believe it or not, but with a twist. The device is being brought to the States by Murena, a company that specializes in “de-Googling” Android phones. As such, the US-only Murena Fairphone 4 won’t run Android like its European counterpart. Instead, it will boot Murena’s “/e/ OS”. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ SequoiaPGP ☛ Improvements_for_the_sq_commandline_utility⠀⇛ With recent work on Sequoia sq I have focused on improving the user experience (UX) of the commandline interface (CLI) and adding new features for increased feature parity with gpg. These changes are available starting with version 0.31.0. The effort has been accompanied by a few code refactorings which touch on the subject of making the CLI more composable and safe to use in the future. This article provides an overview of the new features and improvements. o ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ MariaDB’s_Stock_Exchange_Woes_For_Dummies⠀⇛ It looks as if the Fed’s attempt to wrangle inflation under control by raising interest rates, which has made the folks on Wall Street a little less bullish these days, is causing some trouble for the open-source database company MariaDB Plc, the main driver behind development of MariaDB and related software. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ Packing_a_string_of_digits_into_an_integer quickly⠀⇛ A problem remains: Intel and AMD processors are little endian, which means that if I load the string in memory, the first byte becomes the least significant, not the most significant. Thankfully, Intel and AMD can handle this byte order during the load process. # ⚓ Andy Dote ☛ Observability_Driven_CI⠀⇛ Tracking where the time goes in your CI pipeline is an important step towards being able to make it go even faster. Up until somewhat recently, the only way of tracking how long tasks took in CI was either hoping people had wrapped all their commands in time …, or by reading a timestamped build log and calculating the difference between numbers. Which isn’t great or fun, if we’re being honest. What if we could create graphs of what parts of the build took time? Something like this? # ⚓ MaskRay ☛ Compressed_arbitrary_sections⠀⇛ This article describes SHF_ALLOC|SHF_COMPRESSED sections in ELF and a proposed linker option –compress-sections to compress arbitrary sections. # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Array_Languages:_R_vs_APL⠀⇛ I’ve been learning at least one new programming language a month through Exercism which has been really fun and interesting. I frequently say that “every language you learn teaches you something about all the others you know” and with nearly a dozen under my belt so far I’m starting to worry about the combinatorics of that statement. APL isn’t on the list of languages but I’ve seen it in codegolf solutions often enough that it seemed worth a look. # ⚓ Brian Callahan ☛ Porting_the_Portable_C_Compiler_(PCC)_to Illumos⠀⇛ Hot off the heels of getting Oracle Developer Studio 12.6 running on Illumos, I am back with more Illumos compiler support. I got the Portable C Compiler running on my OpenIndiana machine. # ⚓ Hillel Wayne ☛ My_Problem_With_the_Four-Document_Model⠀⇛ The 4doc model says that user-facing documentation should fall into four categories: [...] # ⚓ Matt Rickard ☛ Avoiding_Footguns⠀⇛ Footguns are features or designs more likely to be misused, often leading to self-inflicted problems or bugs (“shooting yourself in the foot”). See a list of C functions banned in the git codebase for being footguns. Some more examples: [...] # ⚓ Fernando Borretti ☛ Test_Against_Reality⠀⇛ This post is about how to test modern web applications that have complex external dependencies. # ⚓ Buttondown ☛ What_chocolatiering_taught_me_about programming⠀⇛ Chocolatiering is considered an advanced cooking subject because chocolate is a bastard of an ingredient. Cocoa butter is a polymorphic crystal, meaning it forms different types of crystals at different temperatures. When chocolate only has type V crystals, it’s smooth and shiny and snaps cleanly. When you have other crystals, it looks like this: [...] If you want just type V crystals, you need to temper the chocolate. First you get the pot to 50 °C1 to melt out all the crystals, then you let it cool to about 32 °C2, then you agitate it or add seed crystals, and then finally you can work with it until it hits about 27 or so °C3, when it starts to harden. # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Poor_Dude’s_Janky_Bluesky_Feed_Reader_CLI_Via_R_& Python⠀⇛ Longtime readers know I am most certainly not going to use Python directly, as such practice has been found to cause early onset dementia. But, that module is so well done that I’ll gladly use it from within R. # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Seth Michael Larson ☛ Security_Developer-in-Residence –_Weekly_Report_#2⠀⇛ The kicker is that those bundled libraries can have vulnerabilities too! An example of this happening is when pdftopng contained vulnerable versions of libpng (among other libraries) bundled in their wheel. There’s also this related issue for the PyPI Advisory database about vulnerabilities in shared libraries. These bundled libraries don’t show up in your requirements.txt or pip freeze so it’s tougher for you and your audit tooling to know what libraries and versions are in use. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Chris ☛ Forecasting_Accuracy⠀⇛ Reader Dan Turner pointed me toward a highly interesting paper co-authored by Tetlock, about the bin model of forecasting. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Helsinki Times ☛ US_dominance_in_European_children’s_TV channels_revealed_by_new_report⠀⇛ A recent report has shed light on the presence of US companies in the European children’s TV channel market. According to the study, a staggering 48% of children’s TV channels in Europe are owned by US companies. The findings indicate a significant influence of American players in shaping the media landscape for young audiences in Europe. The report, titled “Audiovisual Media Services in Europe,” was published by the European Audiovisual Observatory, a division of the Council of Europe based in Strasbourg. # ⚓ Troy Patterson ☛ Novel_or_Boringly_Effective?⠀⇛ For starters, these skills would open up opportunities for students to show that they know things in a variety of ways. Having core competencies with technology means that educators could feel comfortable having students create an audio program (frequently called a podcast), create a video, create an interactive presentation, create a website, etc. Students need assistance in the how to do those things. However, once students have those skills, they can utilize them in multiple settings. # ⚓ Truthdig ☛ The_Legacy_of_David_Graeber’s_‘Debt’⠀⇛ ‘We should always pay our debts’: that’s the self- evident moral foundation of our economic and political relations. And it’s total bollocks. In the first four pages of Debt, David Graeber leaves it for dead. What if, David posits, debt was forced on a people to pay for the invasion of their own country by a colonial power, and, a hundred years later, the repayment costs caused the cessation of a malaria eradication programme that subsequently led to the death of ten thousand citizens? True story. To make matters worse, the law of ‘Always Pay Your Debts’ doesn’t even apply to any of society’s most destructive actors: imperial powers, of course, but also bailed out banks, extractive, polluting industries and tax-avoidant billionaires and transnationals. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ The Drone Girl ☛ Drone_GPS_jamming:_here’s_how_it_works_ (and_why_even_casual_drone_users_should_be_prepared)⠀⇛ Many drones rely on GPS (as do other technologies like ship and cargo fleets, and even your smartphone) for navigation and tracking. But some bad actors are trying to jam those GPS signals. # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ The_story_of_a_flawed_office_tap⠀⇛ Next, I flicked the sensor with my wet hands until I got a few drops of water on the sensor, in an attempt to recreate the conditions that stopped the tap operating in the first example. I gestured as I had done before, and sure enough, my hails went unacknowledged. This required me to take stock of the situation. Here we have a tap, that dispenses water, in a wet bathroom environment, that’s liable to being splashed with water, that can be rendered inoperable by… get this… water. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ New Statesman ☛ We_are_heading_for_social_media_burnout⠀⇛ The problem is, it’s the fourth such app you now have to engage with. The race to replace Twitter has four horses. And there are enough potentially fatal flaws with each that it’s impossible at present to back a sure-fire winner. The favourites are undoubtedly Threads with its billionaire backing, and Bluesky as the crowd favourite. Mastodon is trailing behind. But Twitter is like the old nag that still has life left in it. It could find its form again, and pip the others at the line. # ⚓ NPR ☛ ‘Forever_chemicals’_could_be_in_nearly_half_of_U.S. tap_water,_a_federal_study_finds⠀⇛ At least 45% of the nation’s tap water could be contaminated with at least one form of PFAS known as “forever chemicals,” according to a newly released study by the U.S. Geological Survey. # ⚓ Vox ☛ What_to_do_if_you’re_worried_about_“forever chemicals”_in_your_drinking_water⠀⇛ Completely removing PFAS from local water supplies isn’t easy — experts told Vox that the problem can really only be resolved if companies that utilize PFAS heavily in their products, like DuPont and 3M, curb their usage or pay for cleanup. Public water utilities must also adhere to regulations meant to make sure water is safe to drink, though policies on PFAS vary by state. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ Americans_Don’t_Really_Like_to_Chew⠀⇛ Haribo, the German company that popularized gummy bears, sells different versions of its classic Goldbears in Germany and the U.S.; the German ones are chewier (and made with fruit juice rather than with artificial flavors). In Japan, where the popular candy company Meiji rates its gummies on a chewiness scale of one to five, the hottest trend is gummies that are off-the-charts chewy at level five plus. “I’m not going to lie. I personally don’t like the level five or six ones,” says Adam Labriny, an American who manages the Japan-based snack-box service TokyoTreat. “It kind of feels like you took a tire and cut off a little piece.” o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ SiriusXM_Is_Shutting_Down_Stitcher_In Podcast_Strategy_Overhaul⠀⇛ SiriusXM has announced it will shut down its podcast app Stitcher in favor of its own. Here’s the latest. During the height of the pandemic, SiriusXM acquired the Stitcher podcast app for $325 million in July 2020. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Pokemon_Go_developer_Niantic_lays_off_230 workers_and_closes_LA_Studio⠀⇛ The maker of the augmented reality “Pokemon Go” game, Niantic Inc., will lay off about a quarter of its workforce, or 230 employees, the company said in an email shared Thursday with employees by Chief Executive John Hanke. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ America’s_first_law_regulating_AI_bias_in_hiring takes_effect_this_week⠀⇛ Artificial intelligence isn’t simply changing how we do our jobs: It’s also deciding whether we get jobs at all. Companies are increasingly incorporating algorithmic tools into their hiring processes, from software that reads our resumes to AI bots that score our first interviews. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Pokémon_Go_creator_Niantic_is_downsizing_on_all fronts⠀⇛ Pokémon Go maker Niantic is closing its Los Angeles studio, letting go off 230 employees—around a quarter of its 1,000-plus workforce—and scrapping at least two games, CEO John Hanke shared in an e- mail with Niantic employees yesterday (June 29). # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Volkswagen_is_about_to_launch_a_self- driving_car_testing_program_in_Texas⠀⇛ The German automaker Volkswagen AG announced today that it will start testing a small fleet of self- driving microbuses in Austin, Texas, with a mind to expanding to more U.S. cities in the future. # ⚓ Modern Diplomacy ☛ Artificial_Intelligence_and_the_New World_Order_(I)⠀⇛ But before getting to the heart of the discussion, several issues need to be clarified. The first question is the following: what Artificial Intelligence are we talking about? # ⚓ Vice Media Group ☛ Threads_is_All_The_Worst_Parts_of Twitter_And_Instagram_in_One_Very_Bad_App⠀⇛ To understand Threads, just imagine all the worst parts of Instagram and Twitter. The interface looks and feels like Instagram’s comments section, and there is no way to view posts chronologically on the timeline—or even to limit your feed to posts from accounts you follow. Instead, users see text posts based on what an invisible algorithm determines is most likely to make them engage and stay on the app, so they will see more ads. # ⚓ Mastodon ☛ What_to_know_about_Threads⠀⇛ Threads is a separate app from Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram. This means Threads’ user base will be separate from their existing platforms. Instagram users however can sign-in using their Instagram accounts. It will not be available in the EU and will not support federation at launch. # ⚓ Neil Selwyn ☛ AI_+_education_=_unsubstantiated_hype⠀⇛ # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ The_AI_Dividend⠀⇛ You are owed profits for your data that powers today’s AI, and we have a way to make that happen. We call it the AI Dividend. Our proposal is simple, and harkens back to the Alaskan plan. When Big Tech companies produce output from generative AI that was trained on public data, they would pay a tiny licensing fee, by the word or pixel or relevant unit of data. Those fees would go into the AI Dividend fund. Every few months, the Commerce Department would send out the entirety of the fund, split equally, to every resident nationwide. That’s it. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Dark Reading ☛ StackRot_Linux_Kernel_Bug_Has_Exploit_Code on_the_Way⠀⇛ Exploit code will soon become available for a critical vulnerability in the Linux kernel that a security researcher discovered and reported to Linux administrators in mid-June. The bug, which the researcher labeled StackRot (CVE-2023-3269), affects Linux kernel 6.1 through 6.4 and gives attackers a way to escalate privileges on affected systems. # ⚓ Hacker News ☛ Researchers_Uncover_New_Linux_Kernel ‘StackRot’_Privilege_Escalation_Vulnerability⠀⇛ Details have emerged about a newly identified security flaw in the Linux kernel that could allow a user to gain elevated privileges on a target host.

Ramsey and Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent in Charge Robert K. Tripp. # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ College_learns_that_two_of_its_vendors_were impacted_by_MOVEit_breach.⠀⇛ Earlier this week, DataBreaches reported that Imagine360 had the unfortunate experience of discovering that two of their file-sharing platforms had both suffered breaches within days of each other: Citrix and Fortra/GoAnywhere. Today we bring you another double-whammy scenario. But in this one, it’s not two different platforms being breached within days of each other. This time, it’s two different vendors both falling prey to the MOVEit breach. # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ “Almost_everything_you_have_posted_in_your news_article_about_this_incident_is_a_total_crap”_—_BlackCat to_Bangladeshi_news_outlets⠀⇛ # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ The_FTC’s_biggest_AI_enforcement tool?_Forcing_companies_to_delete_their_algorithms⠀⇛ Algorithm disgorgement requires companies to remove products built on data they shouldn’t have used in the first place. # ⚓ Netzpolitik ☛ The_adtech_industry_tracks_most_of_what you_do_on_the_Internet._This_file_shows_just_how much.⠀⇛ The scope and detail of this data collection is staggering. There is hardly a human characteristic that advertisers do not want to exploit for their purposes. Want to reach people in Denmark who have bought a Toyota? No problem. Italians with financial problems? No problem. Minors in Austria? Hardcore Christians in Portugal? Pregnant women in Poland? Fragile seniors in France? Queers in Spain? No problem. # ⚓ CBC ☛ Are_you_on_Threads_yet?_Here’s_what_you’re giving_away⠀⇛ But the tight integration among the Meta- owned apps can also serve to remind users they could be giving away the same personal data that’s collected from many of Instagram’s 2.3 billion monthly active users and from those on other Meta platforms, such as Facebook. Meta’s privacy policy says the app may collect and share information about purchases, location, contacts, “financial info,” health and fitness, and browsing and search history, and then share that data to advertisers. In addition, the Threads and Instagram apps, according to Apple’s App Store, “may include handling” of “sensitive information,” which could include race, sexual orientation and religion. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ El País ☛ U.S._destroys_last_of_its_declared_chemical weapons,_closing_a_deadly_chapter_dating_to_World_War_I⠀⇛ The last of the United States’ declared chemical weapons stockpile was destroyed at a sprawling military installation in eastern Kentucky, the White House announced Friday, a milestone that closes a chapter of warfare dating back to World War I. Workers at the Blue Grass Army Depot in Kentucky destroyed rockets filled with GB nerve agent, completing a decades long campaign to eliminate a stockpile that by the end of the Cold War totaled more than 30,000 tons. # ⚓ NYPost ☛ Final_munition_in_US_chemical_weapons_stockpile has_been_‘safely_destroyed’:_Biden⠀⇛ The last remaining munition in the obsolete US arsenal was a sarin nerve agent-filled M55 rocket, which was destroyed Friday at the Blue Grass Army Depot in Kentucky, according to the Pentagon. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ TikTok_Files_Emergency_Motion_in_Bid To_Prevent_Montana_Ban_From_Going_Into_Effect⠀⇛ TikTok just recently moved to obtain a preliminary injunction to prevent the full-scale prohibition, violations of which could each bring a $10,000 fine, according to reports. Earlier in 2023, Montana became the first state to approve legislation banning TikTok outright, after north of 30 states (and several countries) barred government employees from using the highly controversial video-sharing service on official devices. # ⚓ RFA ☛ Bangladesh_police:_Rival_Rohingya_militant_groups_in deadly_gunfight_at_refugee_camp⠀⇛ The killings in Friday’s shootout before dawn marked the latest bloodshed between the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA) and Rohingya Solidarity Organization (RSO). Up until relatively recently, Bangladesh officials had denied that Rohingya militants had a foothold in the sprawling refugee camps near the Myanmar border, where security has deteriorated sharply. # ⚓ Greece ☛ Swedish_NATO_membership:_No_deal_with_Turkey, leaders_meet_next_week⠀⇛ Speaking after talks with the Turkish and Swedish foreign ministers at the security alliance’s headquarters in Brussels, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said Swedish membership was “within reach.” Stoltenberg said he would convene a meeting between Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson in Vilnius on Monday, on the eve of a NATO summit there, with the aim of bridging the gap between the two sides. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Our_Warming_Planet_Is_Becoming_a_Hotbed_of Violence⠀⇛ Recently, Joel Millward-Hopkins of the University of Leeds suggested that as the climate emergency intensifies, we may only find ourselves ever more affected by some of the indirect impacts of global warming. Those would include the “widening of socioeconomic inequalities (within and between countries), increases in migration (intra- and inter-nationally), and heightened risk of conflict (from violence and war through to hate speech and crime).” Such impacts, he suggests, will reflect a “highly inconvenient overlap with key drivers of the authoritarian populism that has proliferated in the 21st century.” Inconvenient indeed. In other words, although weather disasters of many kinds can increase public concern about climate change, they can also help to whip up an oppressively violent sociopolitical climate that may prove ever more hostile to the very idea of reducing greenhouse-gas emissions—especially in large, affluent, high-emission societies. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Albanese_heads_to_Europe_for_talks_on Ukraine,_economy⠀⇛ As Ukrainians mark 500 days of fending off the Russian invasion, Anthony Albanese is preparing for security talks in Europe.

It strengthened the FOIA ombudsman, put a time limit on the use of the deliberative process exemption, mandated more proactive openness, and wrote into law a specific presumption of openness. But there can be issues with enforcing the reforms. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Climate_change_is_out_of control,_warns_United_Nations_after_world_sees_hottest_week⠀⇛ “If we persist in delaying key measures that are needed, I think we are moving into a catastrophic situation, as the last two records in temperature demonstrates,” said UN Secretary General António Guterres.

This means that each row is NOT a single inverter, but varied clumps of panels are wired to each inverter. That means SOME cabling in that gap between the rows you see above. That will be DC cabling, but will also need to be buried safely underground. Its an annoying extra complication. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Mercedes_Benz_becomes_the_latest_automaker to_adopt_Tesla’s_EV_charger⠀⇛ The White House had originally planned to universalize a different charging system, the Combined Charging System (CCS), for all EVs in the US. Tesla CEO Elon Musk refused the government subsidy associated with the CCS, instead offering the NACS system to other car manufacturers free of charge. In June, the Biden administration attempted to mitigate the migration by reminding Tesla that its chargers could be included in the federal subsidy program if they added CCS compatibility. But, with the increasing adoption of NACS by major car companies—as well as last month’s decision by the Texas Department of Transportation to mandate the inclusion of NACS in all new charging stations—it looks like the CSS is losing the battle. # ⚓ Forbes ☛ GM_joins_Ford_To_Switch_To_Tesla_Charging, Killing_CCS._Should_Tesla_Just_Run_All_Charging?⠀⇛ This was complicated by the fact that Tesla’s connector was proprietary. Tesla declared its patents could be freely used but left a few small avenues closed that kept their cord from being fully open. It didn’t help that they were the upstart and the others were the incumbents, who were cooperating via a standards body as you might imagine they should. In 2022, Tesla declared their connector to be fully non-proprietary, but most people felt it needed to do this sooner to make a difference. In addition, their fast charging network is still mostly proprietary, except for a few stations (and a pledge to build out 3,500 more dual stalls this way in the next 2 years.) # ⚓ PR Newswire ☛ General_Motors_Doubles_Down_on Commitment_to_a_Unified_Charging_Standard_and_Expands Charging_Access_to_Tesla_Supercharger_Network⠀⇛ General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) announced today a collaboration with Tesla to integrate the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector design into its EVs beginning in 2025. Additionally, the collaboration will expand access to charging for GM EV drivers at 12,000 Tesla Superchargers, and growing, throughout North America. This agreement complements GM’s ongoing investments in charging, reinforcing the company’s focus on expanding charging access across home, workplace, and public spaces and builds on the more than 134,000 chargers available to GM EV drivers today through the company’s Ultium Charge 360 initiative and mobile apps. # ⚓ Electrive ☛ USA_considers_requiring_CCS_standard_for subsidies⠀⇛ As Reuters has learned, the use of the CCS fast-charging standard will be made a condition. In North America, the CCS1 standard is used, which combines the Type 1 connection for AC charging that is widespread there with the two DC contacts – in Europe, the CCS2 with Type 2 socket + DC is used. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Uber_Eats_and_Doordash_are_suing_New_York_City over_its_minimum_wage_mandate_for_gig_workers⠀⇛ Major food delivery companies—including DoorDash, UberEats, and GrubHub— are suing New York City over a new law that raises the minimum pay rate for app- based delivery workers. The New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection passed the_law,_the_first_of_its_kind, in June, and it takes effect on July 12. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Pakistan_Shares_See_Biggest_One-Day_Gain_In_15 Years_After_IMF_Deal⠀⇛ Pakistan’s benchmark share index scored its biggest single-day jump in 15 years on July 3, gaining around 6 percent on the first trading session after the country secured a last-gasp funding deal from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). # ⚓ SFGate ☛ Bay_Area_tech_company_Evernote_lays_off_most staff,_relocating_to_Europe⠀⇛ Evernote, the note-taking app once heralded by Engadget as the “king of note-taking apps,” has laid off most of its staff as it prepares to exit the Bay Area and relocate nearly all operations to Europe. The Redwood City-based note-taking company — which has weathered all manner of tumult over the past decade, capped off last November by the sale of the company to Italian app maker Bending Spoons — axed nearly all its employees in the United States and Chile, according to a statement from Bending Spoons CEO Luca Ferrari provided to SFGATE. # ⚓ GeekWire ☛ Forced_exit:_Startup_founders_seek_M&A_deals amid_funding_slowdown⠀⇛ But after more than 30 meetings with venture capitalists, Bastian could not find the required capital.

Then, Mr. Ma, the most prominent Chinese tech entrepreneur, disappeared from the public eye. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ China’s_Ant_Group_fined_almost_US$1 billion_as_tech_firms_hit_with_hefty_fines,_crackdown_draws to_close⠀⇛ Chinese regulators said Friday they had fined fintech giant Ant Group almost US$1 billion for “illegal acts” and handed an affiliate of rival Tencent a US$415 million penalty, adding that a long-running crackdown on tech firms was drawing to a close. # ⚓ CBC ☛ Who_pays_the_price_for_the_news_media’s_essential political_role?⠀⇛ The trouble is that in a media industry run for profit, the rules of economics tell us the unwavering duty of any private company, whether Google, Meta or Postmedia, is not to the public interest, but to maximize the income of those who own it. Acting for the public welfare only occurs if it adds value to that first responsibility. As Tusikov explained, too often the two are in conflict. # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ Swedish_newspaper_calls_Turkey_to_return_to Sweden_‘the_criminals_who_live_in_luxury_here’⠀⇛ “Simultaneously with Turkey requesting Sweden to repatriate its opponents, Sweden is facing the largest organized criminal actions in its history.

Imec will use the investment to expand its “clean room” test facility with the most advanced equipment and processes, the company said in a statement. # ⚓ The Drone Girl ☛ Why_this_bizarre,_piloted_flying_car_is critical_for_drones⠀⇛ ASKA A5 only has to tackle the first two challenges, which might be significantly easier. And with the second challenge — integrating into airspace — ASKA has also made some great strides. In 2020, ASKA signed a five-year Space Act Agreement with NASA to advance their participation in NASA’s Advanced Air Mobility National Campaign (AAM), jointly organized with the FAA. # ⚓ NDTV ☛ Elon_Musk_Sues_Wachtell_Law_Firm_To_Recoup_Fees_From Twitter_Buyout⠀⇛ Musk wants to recoup “excess” fees that Wachtell charged under an agreement signed on the day of closing by one of its partners and Twitter’s chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Elon_Musk_is_suing_the_law_firm_that_helped_force him_to_buy_Twitter⠀⇛ According to the lawsuit, filed in California superior court, Wachtell lawyers persuaded Twitter’s former management to agree to pay a “success fee” if Musk closed the deal—part of the $90 million in fees that the law firm allegedly arranged in the days leading up to the sale. # ⚓ Truthdig ☛ The_New_York_Times_Wants_to_Cut_Social_Security and_Medicare⠀⇛ Seeing the NYT join the ranks of those demanding cuts is more than a bit disturbing. Of course, this is not the first time the NYT’s editorial board has joined with those on the right. Back in the 1980s the paper famously told readers that the “right minimum wage” was $0.00. But let’s step back for a moment and look at the bigger picture. The NYT is indisputably correct in saying that we are running unusually large annual deficits. However, the piece is more than a bit off the mark in focusing on the debt, rather than these deficits. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ India Times ☛ Facebook_alters_fact-checking_controls for_US_users⠀⇛ For years, Facebook’s algorithm automatically moved posts lower in the feed if they were flagged by one of the platform’s third-party fact-checking partners, including AFP, reducing the visibility of false or misleading content. Under a new “content reduced by fact- checking” option that now appears in Facebook’s settings, users have flexibility to make debunked posts appear higher or lower in the feed or maintain the status quo. # ⚓ Vice Media Group ☛ Internal_Emails_Show_FBI_Freaking Out_About_Deepfakes⠀⇛ The news shows that as deepfakes started as a vehicle for non-consensual pornography, government officials were already concerned about other ways deepfakes would impact their work, including for surveillance and investigating crime. Advertisement “Do we have the ability to effectively detect this?” one FBI official from the Bureau’s Operational Technology Division (OTD), which handles advanced technical issues such as hacking tools, wrote in an July 2018 email. The context was a Washington Post newsletter titled “Doctored videos could send fake news crisis into overdrive, lawmakers warn.” # ⚓ Gannett ☛ Don’t_take_TikTok’s_vaginal_health_advice⠀⇛ “The [Internet] and TikTok have been very dangerous for sexual health misinformation,” says OB/GYN and women’s health specialist Dr. Sameena Rahman, noting that influencers often go viral for sharing anecdotal experiences that their viewers try to replicate despite a lack of research to confirm safety and effectiveness. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong’s_pro-democracy_businesses tread_carefully_as_‘yellow_economy’_reels_from_reported arrests⠀⇛ Launched in 2020, the app rewarded users who supported “yellow businesses” – restaurants, shops and service providers that promoted democracy in Hong Kong – and allowed users to leave reviews. It also provided discounts and information about the stores. # ⚓ Riccardo Mori ☛ It’s_increasingly_hard_to_be_critical_in tech⠀⇛ That’s not the first time I’ve criticised Apple, far from it, and therefore it’s not the first time I have had to deal with the subsequent backlash via email and private messages. I can deal with disagreements. I don’t expect every one of my readers (usual or new) to agree with me all the time. When the person who took the time to write me expresses their disagreement in a cogent, articulate manner, I’m very eager to listen. I’m not infallible and I might have missed some huge things in my analyses. It happens, and I can change my mind and opinions on something. If you write me to insult me or to say dumb things at me, you’re wasting your time, you’re showing me your colours, and the impact of what you say is less than zero. But the negative emails and messages I’ve received after speaking my mind about Vision Pro are worth mentioning. Not because they’re particularly intelligent or articulate (most aren’t, I’m sorry to report), but because they’re emblematic of the way certain tech discourse is degrading nowadays. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Muslims_Across_Pakistan_Hold_Anti-Sweden_Rallies_To Denounce_Burning_Of_Koran⠀⇛ [...] A man identified in Swedish media as a Christian from Iraq burned a Koran outside a mosque.

Julian Assange is nonviolent. He is presumed innocent. And yet somehow or other, he has been imprisoned in solitary confinement for four years. That is torture,” Cohen said during the protest. “He revealed the truth, and for that he is suffering, and… we need to do whatever we can to help him, and to help preserve democracy, which is based on freedom of the press.” “It seems to me that, right now, unless things change, and unless we change them, freedom of the press is going up in smoke,” Cohen asserted before lighting an effigy of the Bill of Rights in four places. # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ CFWIJ:_Turkey_ranks_first_in_legal_harassment_of women_journalists⠀⇛ Turkey has the highest rate of legal harassment against women journalists in the world and ranks second in the number of women journalists imprisoned, according to a new report by the Coalition for Women in Journalism (CFWIJ). # ⚓ CPJ ☛ Israeli_military_destroys_news_equipment_of_Al-Araby TV_crew_covering_Jenin_operation⠀⇛ “This direct attack, recorded and documented by media outlets, reveals a blatant targeting of journalist crews and their equipment for no reason other than deliberately harming journalists, hindering their work, and disrupting their coverage.

A press release from the city at the time stated that delivery workers currently earn around $7 per hour on average. Most food delivery apps pay workers by the delivery and drivers often greatly rely on customer tips to be their main source of income. Motherboard has previously reported that DoorDashers, for example, often only get a base pay of $2 or $3 per delivery, and get about two-thirds of their income from customer tips. The law, then, would mean an overall increase of around $13 per hour. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Should_we_accept_Digital Money_or_Digital_Law?⠀⇛ There are two leading schools of thought when it comes to economics.

I think, though, that this post is long enough already! In terms of the two CHERI stories I’ve presented, it’s worth being explicit that the purecap story is very much the standard CHERI story at the moment, with the hybrid story being more speculative. The very different implications each story has for today and tomorrow’s software might give you some idea that CHERI is best thought of as a toolbox – and many tools within that toolbox have more than one possible use. Exactly which use(s) of CHERI will end up being most useful – which, to my mind, probably means “provides the best balance between security and performance” – remains unclear. And, of course, there are no guarantees that CHERI will enter the mainstream! But, whatever happens to CHERI, I think it is extremely helpful in opening our eyes to possibilities that most of us have previously not even considered. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Amazon’s_robo_vacuum_power_grab_sucks_EU attention⠀⇛ The European Commission (EC) has announced an in- depth investigation into Amazon’s proposed acquisition of iRobot over concerns it may restrict competition in the robot vacuum cleaner market.
