🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Fentanylware:_Who's_there?⦈_ Summary: Bytedance’s TikTok (some spell it ByteDance) comes in two “flavours”, which are known as spinach and opium. The former is for the local (Chinese) market and makes people obedient, whereas the latter makes people destructive (to themselves and to others) overseas; why can’t the mainstream media properly convey such a simple message? THE threat remains potent and the evidence keeps piling up. The US Surgeon General’s investigations into health damage, both physical andmental, caused by social control media is relevant. Then there’s also the_CBS_60-Minutes_segment from_last_autumn, even though it is not viewable outside the US. It’s the “opium TikTok” vs “spinach TikTok” segment. So why are people still being “Zuckers” of Facebook? Why are people flocking from_one_poison_to_another_poison? Why are so many people in the West still “using” (being used by) Bytedance’s TikTok? Do they not understand what Bytedance is? The name sounds benign. It’s misleading. Those are all poisons, but both methods and dosages vary, depending on geography and geopolitics. We’re hoping that the media will be predisposed to criticise Bytedance’s TikTok. We can only hope. “We’re hoping that the media will be predisposed to criticise Bytedance’s TikTok. We can only hope.”Even though the pertinent facts are widely and openly available, the media thinks it can gain audiences by sucking up to Bytedance’s masters. Sometimes it gets paid to do this! To give an example, a tabloid that kept promoting TikTok almost every day (even several times per day in recent months) decided to publish an article entitled “Dangerous_TikTok_trends_claim_4 lives_in_6_months_in_Alabama:_officials”. This was published this past Saturday. As someone explained today, Bytedance’s TikTok is_at_its_heart a weapon. But with the multiple, daily mass shootings there, people have become inured to not just threats and danger but to actual damage even. Sadly, the criticism we saw about 3 months ago is almost never/nowhere to be found anymore. The spamfarm CNET (yes, CNET is SEO-optimised word spew, not journalism) has just published some spam for TikTok. Someone has told me all the mainstream media is pushing Bytedance’s TikTok as if they were hired to advertise for it and advocate for its universal usage. “The White House is not benign either; we should reject them all.”We’re seeing the same from Gizmodo in recent days [2-3], whereas some talk about banning the darn thing [4], some neglect to say [5] that the court challenge is in fact sponsored by Bytedance’s TikTok (some reports correctly say that it’s Bytedance’s TikTok making the case [6], not “5 Content Creators”), some demonstrate the real harm of TikTok [7], and the real harms are highlighted again [8-9], albeit at the same time they promote TikTok as a gateway (or gatekeeper) for recipes. Our_assessment_of_this_has_been_consistent; all social control media is bad and one that’s controlled by the dictators in Beijing is even worse because it’s the reflection of the regime (China is objectively more repressive than Europe and North America). The White House is not benign either; we should reject them all. █ Related/contextual items from the news: 1. ⚓ 2023-07-08_[Older]_The_Best_Viral_TikTok_Products_That_Are_Worth_Your Money_–_CNET⠀⇛ 2.

Jefferson⦈_ Summary: After 2 introductory parts and 7 core parts we’re finally concluding the series with a handful of points OVER the past few years we saw a number of lynch_mobs_against_GNU_and_Linux luminaries (we’ve named about half a dozen). These weren’t unprecedented but they grew in terms of their intensity, amplified by campaigns of misinformation and mass deception (even defamation) in social control media. There are lessons to be learned from all this: 1. Do not trust anything you see in social control media; it’s designed and refined to propagate and even reward propaganda, never mind accuracy. Groupthink is the name of the game. The group is sometimes led by employees of malicious corporations. 2. The media right now (in 2023) is nothing like the media of 2003. There’s no integrity and the business model seems to be “outcomes” for clients/ advertisers, such as IBM or Microsoft. 3. Do not reply to or cooperate with strangers. The shrewdest trolls pretend to be your friend to get closer and leave you with a long knife in the back. 4. Free software (Commons) isn’t something rich people want to coexist with. They might pretend they adore “Open Source”, but as the recent Red_Bait debacle shows, they want monopolies, they want control. Canonical_is gravitating_towards_Microsoft. It’s all about money. 5. Advocacy for software freedom will always face antagonism/resistance, just like freedom in general. Thomas Jefferson famously said that “[t]he price of freedom is eternal vigilance.” This is the tenth and final part.

court system to judge European Patents Video_download_link http://techrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/epo-wars.webm Summary: This nonsensical_video means that the EPO’s corrupt administrators have lost the argument and are now stacking up straw men, demonising the people whose job is to decide who receives a patent monopoly and who does not (based on scientific merit and the European Patent Convention).

The following are deficits and totals (running sums), not savings.

Squeezing_Red_Hat_customers_(RHEL/CentOS_users)_for money is classic IBM, being a company that — despite many people forgetting it or not knowing it — extorts clients through lawyers. Summary: The media does not often talk about the_debt_of_the_dying_giant. IBM’s total liabilities for the quarter ending March 31, 2023 were $111.964 billion and long term debt for the same quarter was $53.826 billion. Like many other companies, IBM is buying_back_its_own_shares, faking stability and “growth”. IBM has not been a ‘household name” or even prominent in business for nearly two decades already, so its contemporary existence is largely speculative and the company still makes_a_lot_of_its_revenue_by_(software)_patent_blackmail, using patents that last 20 years. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿

by_the_Company)_(Updatedx3)⠀✐ Posted in Finance, Microsoft at 1:27 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz From the_'voice_of_Microsoft' just_moments_ago: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇New_round_of_Microsoft_job_cuts_hits_customer_service, support,_and_sales_teams⦈_ Summary: We’ve been saying_for_a_long_time today is the day; we got it right and it’s “impacting an as-yet-unknown number of employees in customer service, support, and sales.” (Just like the rumours said) Update: Some more details here just minutes ago: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Direct_Sales:_They_just_laid_off_the_entire_Direct_Sales_and Success_team_this_morning.⦈_ No more Success? Why is the company so tight-lipped about it? Seems like a poor communication strategy. If the “entire Direct Sales” got culled (not just reduced in size), this can’t be small overall. Seems like a large-scale round, maybe a lot bigger than January’s. Time will tell. Will the press investigate or just parrot whatever Microsoft claims as though it’s a fact that must not be disputed? Will Microsoft insist that those workers are replaced by chatbots, spinning bad news as a “success story” (or “sales” for ChatGPT)? Update #2: New_story_here, from an anonymous source: § Direct Sales and Support Layed Off Today⠀➾ Today, we received notification that our entire organization will undergo a layoff. Our team was responsible for facilitating direct sales of Microsoft M365 cloud licensing to EDU and Smb clients across the United States and Canada. I am deeply disappointed by the challenges we have faced throughout our time working with Microsoft. Since joining the company last year, there has been a consistent lack of training, guidance, and effective leadership, to name just a few issues. While this news brings about a sense of sadness, there is also a certain relief knowing that this chapter has come to a close. We had hoped for new opportunities and the possibility of improved roles within the company. Unfortunately, it has become apparent that such prospects will not materialize, rendering our time here ultimately unproductive. I would like to pose a question to Microsoft’s leadership: Are you genuinely leading your employees towards success, or prioritizing the interests of shareholders above all else? Update #3: And here: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇They_just_laid_off_the_entire_direct_sales_and_success team.⦈_ And Microsoft decided to not even mention this, except internally. Poor leadership, poor decisions. They’re missing an opportunity to issue spin and instead stay mum. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣀⢀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

in Finance, Microsoft at 8:40 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz In January, Microsoft immediately announced only about a third or the quarter of the total to be removed. Hours ago: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Microsoft_to_cut_up_to_70_more_jobs_from_Irish_workforce⦈_ That’s just the_first_wave_or_batch. For comparison’s sake, in January Microsoft said nothing about Ireland and then in February it said 120 affected; then in March is became almost 200. 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇WARN_July_2023:_MSFT/Worker_Adjustment_and_Retraining Notification_(WARN)⦈_ Just two cities, only for now (the law mandates disclosure there). For sure there’s more on the way; so far this year Microsoft had about half a dozen “batches” for January in Washington. Summary: Microsoft does not yet reveal any totals/numbers (no response when asked for details [1, 2] and Microsoft’s media operative (liar) Jordan Novet just repeats_a_bogus_number), but 276 are laid off in just one US state (based on Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN)) and at least 70 are immediately culled in Ireland (Microsoft employs about 3,500 people in Ireland)

GTFO. Summary: The publication pace at Techrights has gone up by a lot; we’re nearly reaching the record levels of 2010 With 117 blog posts in the first 9 days of July, we’re set to break the records (371_posts_in_August_2010_and_361_the_following_month), but only if we don’t get_trolled_to_death_in_IRC or suffer DDOS attacks (like_last_month). Those records aren’t that important or objective (not all posts are equal), but our aim is to spend more time on videos and articles, a little less time on Daily Links. “Starting a bunch/batch of lawsuits would be very time-consuming (never mind cost), but that’s not off the cards.”When I left my job last December I had to spend a lot of time making phonecalls, talking to former colleagues, police, pension firms etc. With the crimes of Sirius_‘Open_Source’ being 100% confirmed (not even denied by the perpetrator, who sent me an E-mail 1.5 weeks ago) I can only hope the British authorities will realise that_their_own_reputation_is_at stake, not just some small firm’s reputation. Starting a bunch/batch of lawsuits would be very time-consuming (never mind cost), but that’s not off the cards. As a side note, we have reasons to believe that aside from the bribe from Bill Gates (we'll_try_to_get_a_subpoena_for_that_NDA) what played a role in the above was a Microsofter doxing my wife and I to the employer. If we can definitively prove it, we’ll share the details. Hopefully I can do Techrights 100% of the time from now on. █ ⠀⠀⠀⣤⣤⡄⢸⣿⣯⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠟⢉⣡⣴⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣦⣄⡀⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣟⣸⣿⣇⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣸⠟⢉⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣤⡙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠆⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⣰⣿⢟⡛⣛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢛⡻⣟⣛⢛⣛⠻⣛⣛⠟⣛⡻⢛⣛⡻⣿⣆⠙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣶⣿⣿⣿⠃⣸⣿⣿⢸⣷⣿⢰⣖⣮⣴⣲⡆⣶⢺⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⡇⣿⢰⡟⣇⢸⣿⡗⣿⣿⣧⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⠸⠏⠿⠸⢧⠖⠻⣴⠆⢿⠼⢇⡿⠇⠿⠿⠸⢧⠿⠸⠗⠿⠸⠿⠿⣸⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣤⣦⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⣭⣭⣭⠭⠽⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢩⡝⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⡿⠀⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠟⠉⠙⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣥⣀⣉⣙⠛⠃⠘⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⣿⢹⡟⢸⡏⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⡏⣿⢸⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠁⢐⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠟⠁⠀⠢⠀⢀⣹⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠻⠿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠈⠻⣿⣿⣿⣇⠻⠼⢇⣘⠷⢟⠿⠿⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⠸⣗⡿⣰⢆⣿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠀⠙⠛⠉⢉⣁⣀⣤⣴⣶⢖⣤⣤⣴⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠙⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣾⣿⣿⣿⠋⣠⣄⢀⠀⣀⡐⠉⠛⠛⠛⠛⠛⠟⠛⠿⣿⡟⣿⡟⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣤⣤⣀⣀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠛⠻⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠛⠛⠿⣿⣿⣿⣆⠈⣸⣦⡼⣿⣿⣯⣥⣒⣠⡀⠀⠒⠂⠀⠘⢧⣿⣇⣀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⢉⡈⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡗⢿⣻⣿⣟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⡠⠖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡄⠙⠻⢿⡄⠸⣿⡷⠙⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠰⢂⢰⠖⡂⠀⠈⢡⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠈⠉⠡⢹⣿⡇⠘⠉⠈⠉⠙⠿⠿⠻⣿⡿⣿⡿⢿⣟⠀⠀⠀⢢⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⢰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠢⠀⠀⠀⠉⠀⠡⢿⠮⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠸⠈⠉⢡⣠⣽⣼⡛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙⡄⠀⠀⠀⡂⠀⢀⣀⣤⣬⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠒⢲⠀⠀⠐⢠⠀⠀⠀⠹⣿⢟⠛⢀⣘⠀⠀⡔⠀⠀⣣⣭⣛⡶⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⢀⡀⠀⣀⣤⣴⡶⠀⠀⢠⣙⣶⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢈⡿⣆⣄⢠⠎⡇⢀⠀⣠⡿⠏⠀⠀⠁⠺⠁⠀⠀⡰⣏⣟⣿⣿⣾⣿⣮⣹⣏⣩⣹⣿⠛⠉⠛⠛⠋⠈ ⣿⣴⣷⣶⣶⣿⣷⣤⣤⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣶⣿⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⣾⣿⡿⣟⣭⡥⡇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠉⠙⣽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⡟⠺⣹⡛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀ ⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣤⡤⣄⣀⠄⠝⢠⠇⣄⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢘⣿⣻⠃⠀⠘⡿⢿⣚⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣯⣬⣷⣦ ⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠄⠙⠛⢹⠋⢑⠆⠀⠀⠉⠇⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠋⠾⠛⣛⠃⠀⠀⠀⠹⠎⠙⠋⠛⠐⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡏⠁⠀⠀⢀⣭⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⠀⠀⠀⡽⠀⢹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠤⢀⣴⣄⣰⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢦⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣿⢟⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣠⣦⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⣙⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠁⢠⢛⡇⠀⠀⠀⠁⠂⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠉⠀⢀⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠀⠀⠀⠘⠂⢺⣿⣿⣻⢿⣿ ⠻⡻⠿⣿⣿⣼⡏⠉⠉⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⣿⣧⣾⣿⣿⣿⡿⢿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠇⠀⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠶⢀⢈⠳⠿⠩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠂⣀⣿⣿⣿⣟⡢⢈ ⣿⣋⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣶⣶⣦⣬⣭⣩⣿⡟⠚⠛⢻⣶⣴⣶⣾⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠠⠢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⡀⠘⠂⠰⠄⠀⠒⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠁⠉⢉⣆⣤⡙ ⣿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣋⣭⣽⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣀⣠⣶⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⡯⠽⠟⢃⠐⣥⣄⡤⠂⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⠇⠐⠪⠆⠊⠀⠙⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⠀⡞⠳⠘⡙ ⣧⣶⣶⣿⣿⣟⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⣦⠈⡸⡟⣉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⠆⠀⣀⡀⢹⡿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠙ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⡿⠩⢟⡫⠀⡐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢰⡏⠀⠀⠈⠁⠘⠃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⢠⢀⣄⠝⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢏⣄⣂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠀⢀⡿⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣭⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣁⣄⡤⡦⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⠃⠀⠀⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠲⣿⣿⣦⢌⠛ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1440 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/07/10/war-of-disinformation-at-epo/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/07/10/war-of-disinformation-at-epo/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.10.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ The_European_Patent_Office’s_War_of_Disinformation_Against_Patent_Examiners_ (and_Mindless_Promotion_of_Microsoft_Vapourware)⠀✐ Posted in Europe, Microsoft, Patents at 12:51 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Video_download_link http://techrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Examiner_Wars_20230708.webm Summary: Under the title “Examiner’s Wars” (see video above) the European Patent Office (EPO) now insults its own productive workers, looking to harm their image and their reputation instead of actually fixing the EPO crisis, including all the corruption at the top JUST when you thought you’ve seen it all… The European Patent Office’s (EPO) “fucking president” António_Campinos (that’s what he calls himself) along with his propaganda minister are ‘pulling a Putin’, much like Benoît_Battistelli compared examiners and union leaders to “nazis”. “What we’re dealing with here is very childish and highly corrupt management disparaging people who worked for the Office about TEN TIMES longer, not imported by the dictator from Alicante to help cover up criminal activity for about 300,000 euros per year.”“You might be interested in having a look at this EPO video made by the Communications Department together with Young Professionals and Examiners from Spain,” one source has told us. “The video shows EPO employees just being lazy and using ChatGPT instead of doing their work. It’s the perfect management campaign to justify that EPO Examiners are just overpaid.” What we’re dealing with here is very childish and highly corrupt management disparaging people who worked for the Office about TEN TIMES longer, not imported by the dictator from Alicante to help cover up criminal activity for about 300,000 euros per year. If EPO management reckons this video is going to help its objective, guess again… How much money was wasted on the_pinkwashing_video_that_hardly_anyone_watched? Or this_one_from_last_Christmas? █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1507 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at http://techrights.org/2023/07/10/youtube-television/#comments Gemini version at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2023/07/10/youtube-television/ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.10.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ YouTube_is_Becoming_Television_(With_DRM)_and_Creators_Just_‘Get_in_the Way’⠀✐ Posted in Deception, Free/Libre_Software, GNU/Linux, Google, Videos at 8:14 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Biggest instance of Invidious was forced offline without prior notice: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇On_the_30th_of_June,_my_cloud_provider,_Oracle_Cloud, decided_to_shutdown_all_my_servers_hosted_on_two_Oracle_Cloud_accounts._It_is known_that_this_provider_will_randomly_ban_accounts_without_any_reason.⦈_ Summary: The Google Gulag does not pursue anything but money, which it increasingly wants to aggressively (e.g. by blackmail) pursue by grabbing control over people’s PCs (in GNU/Linux, YouTube already latches onto desktop components, maybe a one step away from “protected content” through Widevine DRM), so creators who do all the hard work are demoted and their audiences mistreated; waste no time and get away from YouTube as soon as possible WE HAVE been writing a lot about YouTube lately because the mainstream media does not talk about the quiet ‘revolution’ which mostly involves attacking creators, viewers, and Free software. Google is a Gulag and all it cares about is money. It’s tired of losing money and now it’s crushing all the volunteers/ serfs who helped YouTube become so dominant. Can they still justify this? Can they still tolerate the Gulag? Should they? For many of them, as the classic saying goes, “enough is enough!” “YouTube should only be optional and Google’s lawyers try to ensure no other options exist.”We’ve already made some constructive suggestions last month (see links at the very bottom) and we recently pushed to Git some code that helps bypass YouTube links by suggesting alternatives to them in IRC. We need to discourage adoption/usage of YouTube and part of that involves asking people to not upload to YouTube or also uploading somewhere else. YouTube should only be optional and Google’s lawyers try to ensure no other options exist. Well, some people reported to us (in IRC) that YouTube now blocks Falkon, the Web browser. I could not reproduce this at my end (that’s the main browser I use and maybe these changes are experimental, hence they only impact a subset of visitors), but I noticed other problems with YouTube ads in Falkon, notably a lack of picture, just sound playing. It’ll get worse over time as they optimise for Chrome, with no ad blocking (not even in Chrome!), and add more DRM on top. GSoC is, to them, just some ‘hush money’ (also grossly underpaid, temporary workers to be exploited as PR drones); they don’t want developers to speak about this travesty. Last week, by mere serendipity, I noticed that playing something in YouTube treats it like a native application on my laptop. That’s just… strange. It was bad enough that site notifications were doing something to that effect. We used to expect browsers to render Web pages, not take over the machine. Well, “Big Browsers” have a mind of their own. How long before they start demanding root password to run or not only send_all_passwords_to_"the_cloud"but also prevent the users from disabling this behaviour. “We’re living on borrowed time, perpetually at the mercy of the Gulag.”Why did YouTube start attacking Invidious more than ever before? Whose idea in the legal team was it? Was this strategically wise. Many instance thought, we’re too ‘niche’ for YouTube to care. But things changed as soon as the management changed and they want to kill all alternative GUIs/web interfaces, to remove even the mere option of bypassing the ads. Well, based on the past week’s news, YouTube’s strategy seems to have changed [1-3] to something akin to Netflix (DRM) and blocking of anything other than the proprietary front end will progress [4]. Just because something still works (today,_barely) doesn’t mean it’ll work tomorrow or next week or next month. We’re living on borrowed time, perpetually at the mercy of the Gulag. █ Related/contextual items from the news: 1. ⚓ 2023-07-08_[Older]_Apple_will_stream_the_first_episode_of_‘Foundation’ on_YouTube⠀⇛ 2. ⚓ 2023-07-07_[Older]_Episode_One_of_My_Adventures_With_Superman_Is_Now_on YouTube⠀⇛ 3. ⚓ 2023-07-06_[Older]_Third_lecture_of_Rojava_series_on_YouTube⠀⇛ 4. ⚓ 2023-07-03_[Older]_Google_testing_block_on_YouTube_users_who_have_ad- blocking_software⠀⇛ More information: 1.

However, it has never been as popular among regular computer users as other operating systems such as Microsft’s Windows or Apple’s macOS. Of course, for many years, Linux has emerged as a dominant force in the realm of server operating systems. Due to its exceptional performance, stability, reliability, and security, it has been widely adopted in server/cloud/IoT environments. However, these days, Linux is no longer limited to these environments alone; it is rapidly gaining momentum as an operating system of choice for many desktop users, especially developers. And the most recent figures confirm this, giving all advocates of Linux and open source in general reason to rejoice. o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ This_Week_in_Linux_226:_Linux_6.4,_Red_Hat Changes,_SUSE,_Steam_Summer_Sale_&_more_Linux_news!⠀⇛ Welcome to This Week in Linux, the news show from the TuxDigital Network that keeps you up to date with what’s going on in the Linux and Open Source world.

The final release of Linux kernel 6.5 is expected at the end of August or early September 2023, which depends on how many Release Candidate (RC) milestones Linus Torvalds will announce until then. It will be out on August 27th if there will be only seven RCs or on September 3rd if eight RCs are announced. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Kernel_prepatch_6.5-rc1_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Linus has released 6.5-rc1 and closed the merge window for this release. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Linus_Torvalds_calls_for_calm_as_bcachefs misses_Linux_6.5⠀⇛ Linux kernel overseer Linus Torvalds has delivered the first release candidate for version 6.5 of the kernel, but warned this release may not go smoothly. Torvalds’s headline assessment of rc1 is “none of it looks hugely unusual.” “The biggest single mention probably goes to what wasn’t merged, with the bcachefs pull request resulting in a long thread (we didn’t hit a hundred emails yet, but it’s not far away).” # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Intel_Is_Already_Building_Linux_Audio Drivers_For_Lunar_Lake⠀⇛ Intel is reportedly building audio drivers for Linux for its upcoming Lunar Lake CPUs that will arrive next year. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Neowin ☛ LibreCAD_2.2.0.1⠀⇛ LibreCAD is a free Open Source personal CAD application for Windows, Apple and Linux.

They are a simple yet effective tool for jotting down important information, reminders, and ideas. Sticky notes are widely used in offices, schools, homes, and other places where people need to keep track of things. # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 10_Best_Free_Linux_News_Aggregators_(Updated 2023)⠀⇛ This article recommends the finest free and open source graphical news aggregators. # ⚓ Jussi Pakkanen ☛ Jussi_Pakkanen:_CapyPDF_0.4_release_and presenter_tool⠀⇛ I have just released version 0.4 of CapyPDF. You can get it either via Github or PyPI. The target of this release was to be able to create a pure Python script that can be used to generate PDF slides to be used in presentations. It does not read any input, just always produces the same hardcoded output, but since the point of this was to create a working backend, that does not really matter. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Own HowTo ☛ How_to_Find_Debian_version⠀⇛ Is your machine running Debian but you don’t know which version exactly you are running? # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Linux_Kernel_6.4_on_Fedora Linux⠀⇛ The release of Linux Kernel 6.4 marks another milestone in the world of Linux. As one of the most vital components of the Linux operating system, the kernel has undergone significant advancements and improvements in this release. Let’s take a closer look at what makes Linux Kernel 6.4 stand out. # ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ What_are_Exit_Codes_in_Linux?⠀⇛ Unraveling the mystery of exit codes in Linux. Learn what are the exit codes and why and how they are used. # ⚓ dwaves.de ☛ GNU_Linux_(Debian_11)_how_to_run_OSX_as_KVM Virtual_Machine_–_How_to_upgrade_Debian_11_to_12_(how_to_fix UNABLE_TO_DECRYPT_THE_ROOT_HARDDISK_AFTER_UPGRADING_X-|)⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Deactivate_IPv6_in_NGINX_and_Resolve Nameserver_Issues⠀⇛ Managing NGINX configurations is an essential skill in the realm of Linux system administration. One frequent operation is the deactivation of IPv6. This guide offers in-depth insights to assist you in smoothly disabling IPv6 in NGINX on a Linux system. Additionally, we will address a common issue related to the curveball nameserver resolver. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Linux_Kernel_6.4_on_Linux Mint⠀⇛ Following this guide will demonstrate how to install Linux Kernel 6.4 on Linux Mint 21 or the older stable maintained release Linux Mint 20, utilizing the Ubuntu Mainline kernel installer for the latest kernel version. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_SmartCTL_on_Ubuntu_22.04- 20.04⠀⇛ SmartCTL: A critical utility for modern Linux systems, designed to serve as an interface to the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (SMART) system embedded in the current hard disk drives and solid-state drives. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_fix_curl:_(6)_Could_not_resolve host⠀⇛ Let’s face it: errors and disruptions in our digital workflow can be frustrating. But with the right guidance, we can turn these obstacles into learning experiences. One such hitch is the infamous ‘Curl 6: Could Not Resolve Host’ error in Linux systems. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ Learn_the_Process_of_Executing_POST Requests_via_cURL⠀⇛ cURL, an open-source command-line tool, is widely recognized for its ability to transfer data over a network. Among the various HTTP request methods it supports, POST is particularly significant as it facilitates data transmission to a server. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ Nginx_Reverse_Proxy_Configuration Examples⠀⇛ A reverse proxy is a highly recommended method for exposing an application server to the internet. Application servers, such as those running Node.js applications or a minimal built-in web server with Flask, often bind to localhost with a TCP port. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ Nginx_URL_Redirection_with_Examples⠀⇛ In the ever-evolving landscape of the internet, the importance of URL redirection cannot be overstated. When the structure of a website changes, the URLs often change as well. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ Understanding_the_Linux_wall_Command⠀⇛ For users and administrators of Linux, mastering the built-in commands is vital to unlocking the full power of this operating system. In our focus today is the wall command. Known as the broadcast message command, wall is a crucial tool allowing communication to all users logged into a Linux system at once. # ⚓ Ubuntu Handbook ☛ Enable_Full_Light_Mode_(Panel,_Dock, Overview)_in_Ubuntu_22.04_|_23.04⠀⇛ For those who prefer light theme, there’s an extension now to make all the GNOME Shell components to be light! Ubuntu so far has light and dark mode options available in the ‘Appearance’ settings page. # ⚓ Gadget Bridge ☛ How_to_Mirror_and_Control_Your_Android Phone_from_Ubuntu?⠀⇛ While most screen mirroring apps do a good job of casting your phone’s display on a bigger screen, not many of them let you control your phone from another device. If you mirror your phone on a TV, you cannot use the remote controller to navigate through different apps. You still have to rely on your phone for that. PCs, on the other hand, offer more control options. Previously, we talked about how you can control your phone using a Windows PC. Now, let’s take a look at how you can mirror and control your Android phone from an Ubuntu (Linux) desktop. # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ How_to_Add_or_Change_Keyboard_Layouts_on Linux⠀⇛ If you’re someone who prefers to interact with computers in a language other than English, then keyboard layouts are a lifesaver for you. Most probably, you’d like to set your native language as your system’s primary input language. Even if you’re used to typing in English, there are chances that you might not fancy the default QWERTY keyboard layout. Perhaps you’re one of those people who own keyboards with unconventional layouts. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ GNOME_GUADEC_2022_&_Debian_Albanian_women_trafficked to_Mexico?⠀⇛ DebConf22 and the GNOME conference, GUADEC 2022 both took place during the same week from 20 to 25 July 2022. [...] The two women closest to Lamb in Brazil are also pictured in Mexico at the GUADEC women’s dinner. Given that DebConf was so much closer to their country in adjacent Kosovo, how did they go to Mexico? One of them works for GNOME so she has a legitimate reason to be in Mexico. GUADEC 2022 was the last GUADEC for Neil McGovern as Executive Director. We already wrote about the manner in which GNOME parted ways with McGovern. Given the murkiness about his departure and the GUADEC day trip to the city of Tequila, we feel the funding of Albanian women needs careful scrutiny. Therefore, as both conferences were on the same week, we wanted to ask where was Chris Lamb? The former Debian leader is completely absent from the DebConf22 schedule. Querying his username finds nothing. Did he skip DebConf and travel to Mexico to attend the sending off of his friend Neil McGovern, along with the Albanian friends? # ⚓ This Week in GNOME ☛ This_Week_in_GNOME/Felix_Häcker: #103_Flowing_Information⠀⇛ Update on what happened across the GNOME project in the week from June 30 to July 07. [...] Arjan says This week Dan Yeaw released Gaphor 2.19.1. The simple modeling tool has received a lot of small improvements and bug fixes. Parts of the UI have been updated to use new GTK 4 elements. Information Flow for Associations has been added, and Object Flows can now connect to Join/Fork Nodes. Get your copy from Gaphor’s_download_page or directly from Flathub. # ⚓ Cassidy_James_Blaede:_Toot_toot!_Mastodon-powered Blog_Comments⠀⇛ If you follow me on Mastodon, you’ve probably heard that I’ve added Mastodon-powered comments to this here blog. If you missed it, check_it_out! Read on to dive into my process, the first few iterations of how I did it, and what my hopes are for the future. There are lots of links to the source code on GitHub if you want to follow along, as well. Oh, and throughout this post I’ll be referring to “Mastodon” comments, but technically any Fediverse account that uses ActivityPub can comment on my blog by replying to the the associated Mastodon post—and I do directly use the Mastodon_API to get those replies and associated data from my own instance. # ⚓ Marcus_Lundblad:_Summer_Maps⠀⇛ Since the release of 44.0 in March, aside from some fixes (like adding support for authentication HTTP headers in OpenTripPlanner plugin, as now needed by the Finnish Digitransit service) there has also been some changes on the surface in Maps. First, Jakub Steiner has contributed with a refresh of icons used for transportation modes, and the various mode of public transit. # ⚓ Dave_Patrick_Caberto:_GSoC_2023:_Rust_and_GTK_4 Bustle_Rewrite_(Week_3_&_4)⠀⇛ There’s unfortunately not a lot to talk about for the past two weeks as I have been really absorbed with finals at my university. However, while preparing for the finals, we got the PR to add from_bytes constructor for zbus::Message merged. This means that we can now construct zbus::Message from raw GDBusMessage bytes and vice versa, which is critical for porting Bustle from GDBus to zbus. # ⚓ Hubert Figuière ☛ Hubert_Figuière:_Life_update⠀⇛ If you are looking for a Software Engineer with strong skills in C, C++, Rust and JavaScript, with a strong FLOSS background, I am available to hire. # ⚓ Medium ☛ Tanmay_Patil:_GSoC_Update:_PlayAnswer_widget (wip)⠀⇛ After dedicating first two weeks of work to libipuz, it was time to shift our focus to the UI part of the Application. Discussion To create the PlayAnswer widget, we had two choices: either inherit from the PlayGrid or design a container that includes a PlayGrid as its child. Ultimately, we decided to go with inheriting from the PlayGrid. # ⚓ Cassidy_James_Blaede:_Give_your_SVGs_light/dark_style support⠀⇛ I’ve recently been contributing to Flathub and updating my own website a bit, and I found myself wanting to recolor SVGs for light and dark style support. Let’s look at some examples: [...] * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ Ubuntu Pit ☛ BlendOS_v3_“Bhatura”:_A_Immutable_Linux_Distribution Based_on_Arch⠀⇛ In a significant development, Rudra Saraswat, the renowned developer of blendOS and maintainer of Ubuntu Unity, has made a groundbreaking announcement. On July 6, Saraswat unveiled blendOS v3 “Bhatura”, marking yet another major update to this Immutable Linux distribution. o § Reviews⠀➾ # ⚓ Distro Watch ☛ Review:_Crystal_Linux_2023-03-16,_StartOS_ (previously_embassyOS)_0.3.4.2⠀⇛ Crystal Linux is a young, rolling release Linux distribution which is based on Arch. The distribution has a focus on desktop usage and features the Onyx desktop, a customized version of GNOME with a Windows-like panel and layout. The other key feature the Crystal Linux website mentions is Timeshift, which is available for making optional filesystem snapshots. I downloaded the sole edition of Crystal which is 1.7GB in size. The live media was able to boot in both UEFI and Legacy BIOS modes and quickly loads the GNOME (Onyx) desktop. A panel is placed along the bottom of the display which holds the application menu, task switcher, and system tray. The desktop has a dark, purple theme. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Curbs_on_RHEL_source_code:_we’ve_reached_the third_stage_of_spin⠀⇛ For the uninitiated, as iTWire outlined on 27 June, the second stage is when the person who made the original statement issues a “clarification” to provide the actual meaning of the original statement. The third stage is when friendly tech writers are invited, or else spontaneously decide, to exonerate the company for its move and blame it on some other entity (the government, the private sector, goblins, the Australian Labor Party, AI, the Loch Ness monster, the Abominable Snowman etc). Open source writer Steven Vaughan-Nichols has taken up cudgels for Red Hat, blaming IBM, which now owns the Linux firm, for the changes in access to RHEL source code. # ⚓ Akseli Lahtinen ☛ Trust_in_software_is_important_for_me⠀⇛ There has been, once again, turmoil and drama in FOSS spheres. First, Red Hat did a trick with their open source code, so that if anyone who uses their GPL rights to share the Red Hat code, loses their subscription. (Well, that’s how I understood it. Please give it a read yourself to make sure.) It’s a complicated matter, where complicated opinions bubble on top, at least for me. I do not comment on it since I just do not know enough. I’ve never used RHEL for anything, anyway. But it has certainly affected the user trust. Now, Fedora got recently a proposal to add opt-out telemetry. Considering Fedora and Red Hat are tied to each other on some level, it again has affected the user trust. Mainly negatively. Gaining trust is hard, losing it is easy. And it does seem this has been quite a blow to Red Hat and Fedora, but maybe it shows positively in other ways. Who knows. I shared my opinions on their forum, but yes, I’m cynical enough to think my voice doesn’t really matter. I could’ve been less “sharp-tongued” about it in those posts, but dude im just so tired. My personal feelings on the matter is that I hope all goes well, but I will try other distro offerings in the meanwhile and see how it goes. I am tired of worrying over such things anyway, so it’s easier for me to move. # ⚓ Bryan Lunduke ☛ Ubuntu_to_enact_new_marketing_strategy: “Stay_quiet_and_watch_Red_Hat_implode”⠀⇛ “All we need to do is stop talking and we instantly look better by comparison.” # ⚓ Daniel_García_Moreno:_rpmlint_updates_(July_2023)⠀⇛ I’m spending some time every week working in the rpmlint project. Every component described above is open-source and auditable. For completeness: it’s not an integral part of the stack, but we use a self-hosted instance of Metabase, an open-core business intelligence platform, to visualise the data stored in the PostgreSQL database. The Endless OS Foundation team has access to Metabase, and thence to the data stored by Azafea; nobody else has access to the raw data. Metabase allows us to make read-only charts and dashboards visible to the public. Here is a visualisation of the total RAM in Endless OS users’ machines in the past 24 hours at the time of writing, rounded to the nearest half- gigabyte (or rather, for my fellow pedants, gibibyte), taken from this_event. You can see_the live_chart_here. And if you mouse over one of the segments in the live chart, you can infer from the totals that there are somewhere north of 17,000 computers running Endless OS 4 or newer. (This is an underestimate of our total user count because it only considers the computers in use in a particular 24-hour window, which have not opted out of metrics, and which are not part of the ~20% of systems running an older OS version.) # ⚓ Ryan_Rix:_“it_isn’t_a_contest._Just_enjoy_the_ride.”_– remembering_Seth_Vidal⠀⇛ it isn’t a contest. Just enjoy the ride. The [2013-07-05 Fri] tweet from Seth Vidal, talking with another software engineer about the best tools for tracking cycling stats A decade ago we learned of the passing of Red Hat/ Fedora_Linux software engineer Seth Vidal on [2013- 07-08 Mon]. I had the privilege of working with him in my time as a hobbyist contributor to Fedora and KDE and during my internship on Red Hat’s Community Architecture team while I was in University. Seth was very much one of those “bristly” Linux Sysadmin types but had a huge heart and was always honest and helpful and hopeful. I only got to meet with him and hack in person a few times at FUDCon and the like but I enjoyed talking with him online and I appreciated his mentorship. Like many deaths, of course it was normal life, and then suddenly it wasn’t. He died after a driver hit him while cycling and drove away without stopping. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ Ubuntu-Based_Linux_Lite_6.6_Comes_with_an_AI Helper,_Now_Available_for_Testing⠀⇛ Still based on the Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) long-term supported operating system series, powered by the long-term supported Linux 5.15 LTS kernel series, and featuring the Xfce 4.16 desktop environment series, Linux Lite 6.6 promises support for 22 new languages across many UI elements. Another interesting new feature in the upcoming Linux Lite 6.6 release is the implementation of an interactive AI Helper utility in Lite Welcome, based on OpenAI technologies. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Russell Coker ☛ Russell_Coker:_Sandboxing_Phone_Apps⠀⇛ As a follow up to Wayland_[1]: A difficult problem with Linux desktop systems (which includes phones and tablets) is restricting application access so that applications can’t mess with each other’s data or configuration but also allowing them to share data as needed. This has been mostly solved for Android but that involved giving up all “legacy” Linux apps. I think that we need to get phones capable of running a full desktop environment and having Android level security on phone apps and regular desktop apps. My interest in this is phones running Debian and derivatives such as PureOS. But everything I describe in this post should work equally well for all full featured Linux distributions for phones such as Arch, Gentoo, etc and phone based derivatives of those such as Manjaro. It may be slightly less applicable to distributions such as Alpine Linux and it’s phone derivative PostmarketOS, I would appreciate comments from contributors to PostmarketOS or Alpine Linux about this. # ⚓ Android Authority ☛ Can_a_MacBook_Air_fit_into_an_Android addict’s_lifestyle?_–_Android_Authority⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Sun ☛ I_tried_Google’s_brand_new_Android_gadget_with_a major_twist_that_makes_a_big_difference_|_The_US_Sun⠀⇛ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ The_5_Best_Air_Quality_Apps_For_Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Police ☛ How_to_create_custom_emoji_wallpapers_for your_Android_phone⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Talospace ☛ The_Talospace_Project:_Firefox_115_on POWER⠀⇛ Firefox 115 is out, which is also the new Extended Support Release base. A nice feature on Linux is a middle click on the new tab button will open a new tab with whatever URL is on the clipboard (on the other hand, middle click on an existing tab closes it, so the interface is a wee bit muddled here); a more questionable feature is a Mozilla- controlled extension blocklist by domain. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Dirk Eddelbuettel ☛ Dirk_Eddelbuettel:_#40:_Another_r2u Example_–_Making_Colab_Easier⠀⇛ Welcome to the 40th post in the $R^4 series. This one will just be a very brief illustration of r2u use in what might be an unexpected place: Google Colab. Colab has a strong bent towards Jupyter and Python but has been supporting R compute kernels for some time (by changing what they call the ‘runtime’). And with a little exploration one can identify these are (currently, as of July 2023) running Ubuntu 20.04 aka ‘focal’. # § JS⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ What_is_Node.js?_Exploring_Server- Side_JavaScript_Development⠀⇛ Node.js is a powerful runtime environment that allows developers to build server-side applications using JavaScript.

Northern Lights, also known as aurora borealis, are most often seen in Alaska, Canada and Scandinavia, but an 11-year solar cycle that’s expected to peak in 2024 is making the lights visible in places farther to the south. The Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks has forecast auroral activity Thursday in Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Indiana, Maine and Maryland. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Hackaday_Prize_2023:_Wear-a-Chorder_Lets Discreet_Chording_Keyboards_Do_The_Talking⠀⇛ Being mute or speech-challenged can be a barrier, and [Raymond Li] has an interesting project to contribute to the 2023 Hackaday Prize: a pair of discreet chording keyboards that allow the user to emit live text-to-speech as quickly as one can manipulate them. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Quartz ☛ The_US_is_buying_up_nearly_all_of_Mexico’s_avocado exports⠀⇛ The US is a major importer of Mexico’s avocados, among many other foods. As farms in the US become increasingly strained, particularly due to drought in California, that dependence on Mexico is only increasing. In 2003, the US bought just 30% of Mexico’s avocado exports. # ⚓ Vice Media Group ☛ Scientists_Raise_Alarm_Over_Risk_of ‘Synchronized’_Global_Crop_Failures⠀⇛ New research exposes an underestimated risk of simultaneous global food supply shocks due to climate change. # ⚓ teleSUR ☛ Climate_Change_to_Reduce_Grain_Harvest_in Germany⠀⇛ June was the second sunniest month since records began in this European country, the National Meteorological Service said. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ In_India,_It’s_Getting_Too_Hot_to_Farm⠀⇛ Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India—Rukmini Kamble, 69, has a unique way of identifying how severe a heat wave is. “I look at the number of painkillers and paracetamol tablets I take in the months of extreme heat,” she told me. She now takes two painkillers every day. During the heat waves last year, she took at least one pill a day to bring down or prevent fever while she worked. # ⚓ Axios ☛ Now_trending:_“Plant-based”_foods_—_and_“vegan”_is out⠀⇛ Food makers are tripping over themselves to introduce new “plant-based” products — but many are shying away from the term “vegan,” which some perceive as having negative or off-putting connotations. Why it matters: The two terms aren’t always synonymous — “vegan” tends to refer to a lifestyle as well as a diet, in which all animal_products, including honey, are avoided. # But the semantic differences are critically important to marketers, as demand for animal- free foodstuffs balloons. =================================================== Driving the news: Novel plant-based foods were out in full force at last week’s Summer_Fancy_Food_Show at New York City’s Javits Center — a prominent showcase for new products — but many of the entrepreneurs behind them said they consciously avoided the “vegan” label. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ It’s_Weirdly_Hard_to_Make_Seawater Drinkable⠀⇛ Desalination requires tons of energy.

Japan hopes the visit by International Atomic Energy Agency head Rafael Mariano Grossi will give credibility to the contentious plan. Grossi will meet with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida later Tuesday to submit IAEA’s final report on the water release. The report is expected  to say that the water sampling, testing and monitoring plans fulfill international requirements. The plant operator is expected to get a permit for releasing the water in the coming days, though when it will start doing so is undecided. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Scientists_Say_Fukushima_Water_Is_Safe, but_Radiation_Fears_Persist⠀⇛ The International Atomic Energy Agency’s final report declared the treated water from the destroyed nuclear plant had met its safety standards.

Why it matters:Daily temperature milestones are largely symbolic — but point to an alarming trend, scientists say. ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Who_is_Blocking_Climate_Action_in_Pennsylvania?⠀⇛ This story originally appeared in Capital & Main and is part of Covering Climate Now, a global journalism collaboration strengthening coverage of the climate story. As chair of the key environmental committee in Pennsylvania’s newly Democratic House of Representatives, Greg Vitali was hopeful his committee could begin advancing meaningful climate policy after years of playing defense. ⚓ France24 ☛ Hottest_global_temps_ever_shatter_records_for_two_consecutive days,_preliminary_data_show⠀⇛ The planet’s temperature spiked on Tuesday to its hottest day in decades and likely centuries, and Wednesday could become the third straight day Earth unofficially marks a record-breaking high.

Separately, the globe set new single day records for the hottest day yet measured, on July 3 and 4. Why it matters:The records are an indication of the influence that an El_Niño_event_is_having in the tropical Pacific Ocean, since it is amplifying the pace of human-caused climate change. ⚓ New York Times ☛ The_Texas_Heat_Dome_Shows_an_Exhausting_Glimpse_of_the Future⠀⇛ Extreme heat is the engine of planetary chaos.

They rely on cobalt, a highly strategic mineral necessary for electric car batteries. It is found in particular in DR Congo, which has the largest cobalt reserves in the world. It is mined there at a colossal environmental and human cost involving child labour, water and air pollution, as well as corruption. As the auto industry battles it out, we went to meet the victims of the cobalt rush. o ⚓ Atlantic Council ☛ Technological_and_policy_pathways_to accelerate_US_industrial_decarbonization⠀⇛ Industrial decarbonization in the United States will be an important element in lowering global emissions. To limit the consequences of climate change, the United States must urgently advance a suite of efforts to guarantee the domestic and international industrial emissions reductions the world needs. o ⚓ H2 View ☛ World_Bank_supports_India’s_green_hydrogen_and renewable_energy_development_with_$1.5bn⠀⇛ The World Bank last week (June 29) approved $1.5bn in financing to help India promote low-carbon energy by scaling up renewable energy, developing green hydrogen and stimulating climate finance for low-carbon energy investments. o ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Court_backs_green_light_on_Narrabri_coal mine_expansion⠀⇛ Climate activists vow to keep fighting after a court dismissed their bid to stop a coal mine extension that would generate the equivalent of Australia’s total annual carbon dioxide emissions. Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action says the Land and Environment Court judgment in favour of Whitehaven’s Narrabri coal mine expansion in NSW was “out of step with community expectations”. o ⚓ RFA ☛ Report_finds_abuses_linked_to_Chinese_investment_in overseas_mining_projects⠀⇛ China must ensure the renewable energy transition is ‘fair,’ authors say o ⚓ H2 View ☛ US_DOE_reveals_$1bn_plans_to_offer_demand-side_support to_regional_hydrogen_hubs⠀⇛ The US Department of Energy (DOE) on Wednesday (July 5) announced plans for a $1bn demand-side hydrogen initiative to support its Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2Hubs) programme. o ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ Fairy_circles_and_electricity_from_air:_Inclusive and_innovative_science⠀⇛ Progress roundup: In Australia, a research collaboration incorporated Indigenous expertise.

An analysis by the Dublin-based EU agency Eurofound, or the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions, examined worldwide job cuts at Facebook parent Meta, Amazon, Salesforce, Microsoft, and Google. “It is clear Ireland is by far the country most affected by big tech restructurings, which is not surprising since most of these tech companies’ European or EMEA headquarters are based there.” * ⚓ Financial Times ☛ [Old]_FirstFT:_Wall_Street_job_cuts_set_to_surpass 11,000_this_year⠀⇛ Job cuts at the largest US banks are on course to surpass 11,000 this year as Wall Street contends with the worst recruitment market since the financial crisis following a pandemic-era hiring binge. Citigroup this week became the latest big US bank to announce significant job cuts, telling investors that it planned to complete 5,000 redundancies by the end of the second quarter, mostly in investment banking and trading. That followed cuts affecting thousands of bankers at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. The redundancies come as executives try to unwind a recruitment spree that started as the economy rebounded in the aftermath of Covid-19. Banks dramatically increased their headcounts to cope with a deals and trading boom at a time when working from home was scrambling traditional ways of doing business. * ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Thinking_behind_Reserve_Bank’s_‘hawkish_pause’_on show⠀⇛ Commentators will run a fine-tooth comb through what Philip Lowe has to say next following the Reserve Bank’s decision to keep interest rates on hold this month. The central bank has been hiking rates to rein in inflation and in July kept them steady at 4.1 per cent.  § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ * ⚓ NYPost ☛ Dangerous_TikTok_trends_claim_4_lives_in_6_months_in_Alabama: officials⠀⇛ The thrill-seekers jumped or flipped off the backs of speeding boats, only to break their necks on the wake and drown, according to Cpt.

Matrix is a full featured instant messaging protocol which requires a less stringent definition of “instant”, messages being delayed for minutes aren’t that uncommon in my experience. Matrix is a federated service where the servers all store copies of the room data, so when you connect your client to it’s home server it gets all the messages that were published while you were offline, it is widely regarded as being IRC but without a need to be connected all the time. Matrix was designed for bridging with other protocols, the most well known of which is IRC. The most common Matrix server software is Synapse_which_is written_in_Python_and_uses_a_PostgreSQL_database_as_it’s backend_[2]. My tests have shown that a lightly loaded Synapse server with less than a dozen users and only one or two active users will have noticeable performance problems if the PostgreSQL database is stored on SATA hard drives. This seems like the type of software that wouldn’t have been developed before SSDs became commonly affordable. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 3720 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.10.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Gemini_Links_10/07/2023:_Out-smarted_by_a_‘Smart’_Amazon_TV_and_Making Keyboard_Cables⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 8:17 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Science o Technology_and_Free_Software # Internet/Gemini * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ Excerpt_From_a_Play⠀⇛ The earth was sleeping, and the sky was asleep, And in this whole world, everything had fallen into a silent slumber, Only I, Azhdahak (the dragon), remained awake with my pain, And the reddest blood of mine, Was the only burning fire in this silent desert. # ⚓ Week_26/27:_Status_and_Photos⠀⇛ We live in a small farm town, with fewer restrictions than the nearby suburbs. Our neighbors take full advantage of this by shooting off a phenomenal number of fireworks. This Independence Day, our house was surrounded with a constant display of lights and sounds in the sky. We invited a few friends over and fired a few pyrotechnic rounds ourselves. It was quite an experience. I’m planning on putting many of my electronics into a box for a while and reduce the number of devices I use to a minimum. This is because I find that I fret over them too much, and I try to use them all, which is wasteful. I think I’d prefer to limit myself to a few low-impact tools, and work on getting those to do as much as I can make them do. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Veganism_and_Mi’kmaw_Legends⠀⇛ To this day tension remains within the anarchist milieu between vegan and anti-vegan radicals. The mere mention of veganism, animal liberation and anti-speciesism on social media or at radical gatherings often generates a backlash of hostile responses. A common anti-vegan response is one that attempts to use Indigenous identity as a quick way to shut down any dialog o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Old_Computer_Challenge_2023_–_Day_One⠀⇛ My plan is to write a daily wrap-up of my experiences during the 2023 edition of the Old Computer Challenge. This is the wrap-up of day one. # ⚓ Standard_issue_ineffability_concealment⠀⇛ Yesterday’s winery performance went pretty danged well. Much yard work today. Fantastic chocolate shake. Writing is feeling foolish again: if conceptuality is what hides/masks an ineffable reality, then of *course* attending to words is the wrong direction. # ⚓ How_to_install_Kanboard_on_OpenBSD⠀⇛ Let me share an installation guide on OpenBSD for a product I like: kanboard. It’s a Kanban board written in PHP, it’s easy of use, light, effective, the kind of software I like. While there is a docker image for easy deployment on Linux, there is no guide to install it on OpenBSD. I did it successfuly, including httpd for the web server. # ⚓ occ_v3_day00⠀⇛ The Ultra 10 has been re-assembled sans floppy drive. The case is still off and I have a DVD drive unmounted for the installation. I found a 10GB IDE drive in my stash. I think the original drive was 9GB or something. Only thing on it was a slackware install from 2004, which I plan on wiping and installing…something? The drive tried to boot on the laptop I used to check the drive via USB IDE cable. I forgot to disconnect the drive before rebooting the laptop. LInux LOader loaded, started boot sequence, then kernel panic. # ⚓ occ_v3_day0⠀⇛ OK, this is going to be more challenging than I thought. The drive runs fine, but I can’t easily install much. Getting things to work seems so hard, like back in the day. All of these dependencies and missing software is taking me back to beginners mind. Kinda sux0rz when I just want things to work so I can do old computing and it’s not. Then again, now that I think about it, this was how it was before. I think I just did not mind it so much then since I did not have a reference of the computing of now on now’s technology. # ⚓ Out-smarted_by_a_‘smart’_Amazon_TV⠀⇛ In my last post I briefly described my current quandary. To make my elderly in-laws happier I got them a giant voice-controlled Alexa TV… Size helps (vision issues); voice control helps (remote too complicated, too small to see, etc). It provides a minor amount of empowerment: “Alexa, TV off” instead of calling for help… As I also mentioned, idiocy is built-in: when voice control is on, purchases are no longer password- protected. Why? I don’t know. Somehow it is tied into ‘parental controls’, which should do the trick, but instead, makes things even worse. It will not allow starting apps without a password, completely defeating the purpose of the entire project. So I just have to chat with Amazon every now and then and insist that the purchases were made because of their own technical problems. So far it works — when they see someone renting a dozen movies and not watching… # ⚓ Making_keyboard_cables⠀⇛ I just shared on fedi the keyboard cables I made. I am really proud of how they came out so I thought I’d share here the process and justification for why I went the route I did. # ⚓ Post_non-reciprocity’s_a_bitch⠀⇛ It’s kind of ironically funny that Geminuats easily in my top ten to read probably hate me. So I guess I’ll just continue to read them from afar, as it were. Got some great sun, today. Didn’t need it, as I’m constantly hearing people amazed at how tan I am this year. But it’s kind of fun to see skin of mine a hue I’ve not since childhood. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ It_almost_happened,_but_not_yet!⠀⇛ This must have been the longest I’ve abandoned the gopher. I admit, I didn’t even have time to even open the gopher client and read, let alone do anything myself.

It indicates how looking solely at the resolutions – as most non-anarchists do – gives a distinctly false impression of both the Congress itself and anarchist ideas and strategy. This is an expanded version of the original which appeared in the blog of **An Anarchist FAQ** and then in **Black Flag Anarchist Review** (Spring 2023).

The “[" and "]” words are from the miscellaneous words from STOICMIS.STC, and count the number of items that are pushed on the stack between them. o ⚓ Old_Computer_Challenge_v3:_day_1⠀⇛ Hi! Today, I started the 3rd edition of the Old Computer Challenge. And it’s not going well, I didn’t prepare a computer before, because I wanted to see how easy it would be. o § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ 2023-W28:_Capsule_Of_Yoshiyahu⠀⇛ “Capsule Of Yoshiyahu” is a creative capsule with an interesting mix of content. It has both a Gemlog and a Microlog, which means that if you like occasional polished posts you can follow just the Gemlog, but if you want more frequent posts you can follow both the Gemlog and the Microlog. # ⚓ gemcast_Episode_50⠀⇛ * 2001: A Space Odyssey / Kids and Technology * Korean Corn Dogs and Cultural Authenticity o § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Programming_for_Palm_Pilot⠀⇛ Thanks to a fellow Gemini user (~kelbot), I rediscovered my love for Palm OS devices. Today I fired up an old IDE and started coding for them. As a kid, I somehow came into possession of a Palm Pilot m150 (at least I think that was the model number). I also had a folding Palm keyboard, that communicated with the device via infrared. I of course used the device for games (Kyle’s Quest and DragonBane II were amazing), but I also found numerous on-device IDEs that utilized the BASIC and C programming languages. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

On top of that, TUXEDO Computers announced a new Linux laptop and I show you how to install the latest GNOME alpha/beta versions on Arch Linux. You can read this week’s hottest news and access all the distro and package downloads in 9to5Linux’s Linux weekly roundup for July 9th, 2023, below. o ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-07-09_[Older]_Linux_Weekly_Roundup #243⠀⇛ o ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-07-02_[Older]_Linux_Weekly_Roundup #242⠀⇛ o ⚓ Dedoimedo ☛ The_Slimbook_Executive_is_here,_and_it’s_majestic⠀⇛ Without a doubt, the Slimbook Executive is the prettiest laptop I’ve ever owned. While it’s technically not dissimilar to most ultrabook-styled machines, it’s still ahead of my old Asus VivoBook and the Pro2. It simply feels more elegant, more refined, more pleasing to the touch. The keyboard is also great, among the best I’ve had a chance to use, side by side with the Asus ones (always served me well). The ergonomics are spot on, the usability is excellent, sans one or two tiny snags. On the software side, Kubuntu 22.04 works flawlessly on this hardware, with no ugly hiccups or problems. The system works great. The performance is solid, and the battery life is phenomenal. When you combine all of the above with a rather nice set of programs, including Steam with Proton for gaming needs, you have a laptop that can handle 99% of any and every modern task. It ain’t cheap, but it’s fabulous. A new journey has begun, and there will be a slew of combat reports, just as I did with the Pro2. Speaking of the old veteran, we shall attempt a battery pack change very soon. And there’ll be more reports from the Titan side of things, including the Linux gaming compatibility and the whole bye-bye-Windows adventure. So do stay tuned. Tux away. o § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Kubuntu_Focus_Ir14_(Gen_1)_Review:_Linux Productivity_Made_Easy⠀⇛ You may already know the name Kubuntu as a popular Linux distribution, but Kubuntu is also a company selling computers with the Kubuntu operating system preinstalled. I spent some time with the first generation of the Kubuntu Ir14 Focus laptop and found it worth the price but not without fault. Targeted at developers, the “Focus” branding speaks to the product line’s emphasis on productivity. Compared to the M2 and XE models, the Ir14 is a more slim all-rounder. Its hardware is easily configured to handle anyone’s everyday tasks, while it also provides the option to connect an external GPU (eGPU) for more intensive work. Plus, the serviceable body means you’re not stuck with the configuration you order. The Linux experience is exceptionally polished on the Ir14 thanks to some optimizations made to Kubuntu. The alternative operating system still won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but there’s a lot to appreciate about Kubuntu’s effort to help you hit the ground running when you open up this Linux laptop. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ The_ThinkPad_You_All_Wish_You_Had,_With_A_Brain That’s_Not_Ancient⠀⇛ An IBM (or, later, Lenovo) ThinkPad is a popular choice in our community. They’re prized for their rugged design, longevity, and good software support. Over the many years that the line has been available, there have been a few models which have captured the attention more than others, and among those, probably the most sought-after is the ThinkPad 701c. It would be an unremarkable mid- 1990s 486 laptop were it not for the party piece of that flip-out butterfly keyboard (see video, below). [Karl Buchka] has one that’s profoundly dead, and rather than use it as a novelty paperweight, he’s giving it a new lease of life with a Framework motherboard. o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ 2023-07-05_[Older]_FLOSS_Weekly_739:_Whose_AI_Is_It_Anyway? –_AI_Security,_Decentralized_Identifiers⠀⇛ # ⚓ The TLLTS Podcast ☛ 2023-07-06_[Older]_The_Linux_Link_Tech Show_Episode_1010⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-09_The_Linux_Tier_List⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-09_Ken_Thompson_Hack:_Every_Computer_Is Backdoored?⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-09_How_to_install_ONLYOFFICE_on_MX_Linux_21.3⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-08_[Older]_NixOS_:_The_HYPE_is_Real_!_Everything You_NEED_to_Know_(NEW!)⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-08_[Older]_SNAP_only_Ubuntu_Store,_Fedora_adds telemetry_&_GNOME_45_alpha:_Linux_&_Open_Source_News⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-08_[Older]_Libreboot_Is_Right_About_CPU_Microcode⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-07_[Older]_App_Launchers,_Dashboard_&_Language Support_–_Configuring_Emacs_04⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-07_[Older]_What_does_this_HUGE_jump_in_SteamOS usage_mean?_|_Steam_Deck_News_92⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-07_[Older]_How_to_install_Nobara_Project_38⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-07_[Older]_Best_Linux_Distros_For_Software Developers_:_Part_1_POP!_OS_#distro_#technology⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-06_[Older]_How_to_Use_the_rsync_Command_to_Transfer Files_(Linux_Crash_Course_Series)⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-06_[Older]_How_Linux_Became_King_Of_The_UNIX World⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-06_[Older]_How_to_install_MMR_Desktop_on_MX_Linux 21.3⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-05_[Older]_The_LINUX_DISTRO_model_is_BROKEN⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-05_[Older]_Aerospace_Boomers_Think_Linux_Isn’t_Safe &_Secure⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-05_[Older]_A_Quick_Look_At_The_New_Peppermint_OS_ (Based_On_Debian_12)⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-05_[Older]_Nobara_Project_38_overview_|_a_modified version_of_Fedora_Linux_with_user-friendly_fixes_added_to it⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-05_[Older]_How_to_install_the_Flowblade_video editor_on_MX_Linux_21.3⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-04_[Older]_Alma_Linux_Has_A_Very_Rocky_Red_Hat Future⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-03_[Older]_Upgrading_my_Steam_Deck_with ELECTROMAGNETS!⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-03_[Older]_Software_Forks_Aren’t_As_Easy_As_They Sound⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-03_[Older]_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS_Vs_Debian_12_|_This FINALLY_Made_Me_Switch!_(NEW)⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-03_[Older]_How_to_install_the_PyCharm_Community edtion_on_MX_Linux_21.3⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-02_[Older]_Addressing_Wayland_Network_Transparency Complaints⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-02_[Older]_Was_I_Wrong_About_Wayland_Network Transparency⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-02_[Older]_Red_Hat_Drama,_Paying_for_Python_and_My Linux_Desktop⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-02_[Older]_How_to_install_Steam_on_MX_Linux_21.3⠀⇛ # ⚓ 2023-07-02_[Older]_Kernel_6.4_boosts_AMD,_FOSS_Nvidia Driver,_Wayland_gaming_improvements:Linux_&_Open_Source News⠀⇛ # ⚓ Open Source Security (Audio Show) ☛ Free_Software_Security Podcast_Episode_383_–_Is_open_source dying?⠀⇛ Josh and Kurt talk about the notion that open source is somehow dying. What’s actually happening is corporate open source is changing, which some are trying to deform into something wrong with open source. Open source is doing great, probably better than ever. # ⚓ GNU World Order (Audio Show) ☛ GNU_World_Order_520⠀⇛ **fftw** , **fluidsynth** , **freecell-solver** , **freetype** , **frei0r** , **fribidi** , **fuse** from the **l** software set of Slackware. shasum - a256=443c4933ba0b9ffb9b6881944e54e6f0d090b425a46de64289b9d979a9cd037a # ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ Hardware_Addicts_79:_The_Nvidia_4060 Controversy:_Betrayal_or_Business_Strategy?⠀⇛ In episode #79 of Hardware Addicts we tackle the controversy of the new Nvidia 4060 GPU and why so many people are upset about this lower cost GPU. We also head to camera corner where we discuss the importance of firmware updates. So sit back, relax, and plug-in because Hardware Addicts starts now! o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ Arianna_–_eBook_reader_and_library_management app⠀⇛ Linux has a fairly limited range of eBook readers, so we’re always keen to explore new entrants. Arianna is a ebook reader built for the KDE Plasma desktop but, of course, runs under other desktop environments. It uses Qt, a C++ framework for developing graphical user interfaces and cross- platform applications, and the Kirigami UI framework. It’s free and open source software. We tested Arianna using the Arch distro. There’s a package in the AUR. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Exclude_Files_and_Directories_from_rsync⠀⇛ rsync is my preferred tool for creating backups from remote machines. It’s fast, and convenient and the incremental backups save time, disk space and bandwidth. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_FFmpeg_on_Linux_Mint_21/20⠀⇛ Welcome to the universe of FFmpeg – an exemplary multimedia powerhouse that governs the realm of audio and video processing. Encapsulating a plethora of software libraries and programs, FFmpeg’s capabilities extend beyond the norm, allowing it to decode, encode, transcode, mux, demux, stream, filter, and play audio or video data alike. Why FFmpeg? # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_PlayOnLinux_on_Linux_Mint 21/20⠀⇛ PlayOnLinux offers an elegant and user-friendly interface to manage your games and applications installed through Wine, enabling Linux Mint users to unlock the vast array of software originally designed for Windows. Its unique selling point lies in its flexibility – it doesn’t lock users into a one-size-fits-all version of Wine. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Install_Arduino_IDE_on_Linux_Mint 21/20⠀⇛ In the domain of embedded systems and the Internet of Things (IoT), developers often seek tools that can enhance their coding experiences, offering an optimal mix of simplicity, flexibility, and power. The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) prominently stands out among these. # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ Automate_edge_device_onboarding_with_Ansible_FDO collection⠀⇛ Onboarding devices at the edge differs from doing so in a data center and presents some unique challenges. Among other requirements, the device onboarding process must: [...] # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-07-09_[Older]_How_to_install ONLYOFFICE_on_MX_Linux_21.3⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-07-06_[Older]_How_to_install_MMR Desktop_on_MX_Linux_21.3⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-07-05_[Older]_How_to_install_the Flowblade_video_editor_on_MX_Linux_21.3⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-07-03_[Older]_How_to_install_the PyCharm_Community_edtion_on_MX_Linux_21.3⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Made Simple ☛ 2023-07-02_[Older]_How_to_install_Steam on_MX_Linux_21.3⠀⇛ # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Exclude_Files_and_Directories_from_rsync⠀⇛ Want to exclude files and directories while making backup with rsync? Here’s how to use the –exclude flag of rsync command. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ 10_Best_Cursor_Themes_for_Linux_Desktops⠀⇛ We often overlook the aspect of the cursor theme while customizing Linux desktops with various themes. A thoughtfully chosen cursor theme can elevate your Linux desktop, adding a touch of personalization and enhancing the overall aesthetics. From sleek and minimalist designs to whimsical and playful animations, here are the ten best cursor themes for everyone. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Wayland_on_OpenBSD⠀⇛ These are my notes from experimenting with building Wayland bits on OpenBSD during g2k23 in Tallinn… Thanks to the OpenBSD foundation for organizing this event. This is still far from a complete running system as there are many issues on the road, but it’s a good start and it shows that it’s definatly not impossible to get Wayland running on OpenBSD. o § Arch Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Jenny’s_Daily_Drivers:_Slackware_15⠀⇛ As a recent emigre from the Ubuntu Linux distribution to Manjaro, I’ve had the chance to survey the field as I chose a new distro, and I realised that there’s a whole world of operating systems out there that we all know about, but which few of us really know. Hence this is the start of what I hope will be a long-running series, in which I try different operating systems in my everyday life as a Hackaday writer, to find out about them and then to see whether they can deliver on the promise of giving me a stable platform on which to earn a living. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ InfoWorld ☛ Red_Hat_kicked_off_a_tempest_in_a_teapot⠀⇛ We’re going back to the future with commercial Linux. In case you missed it, Red Hat apparently got tired of companies masquerading as communities, building Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) clones through CentOS code and giving nothing back, not a line of code nor a penny. Some have called it freeloading. I called it a bad idea for enterprises to cut off cash to the company they ultimately depend upon to deliver enterprise Linux. In the wake of Red Hat’s decision, a range of Linux vendors are trying to capitalize on the alleged dissatisfaction with Red Hat’s mood. SUSE’s Dr. Thomas Di Giacomo decided he needed “to shed as much light as I can on the decision and provide reassurance to the community in general,” which translated into a few hundred words talking about how SUSE cares deeply about open source, etc. It didn’t shed any light on Red Hat’s decision and didn’t provide any reassurance to “the community in general” (whatever that means). o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Netplan_and_systemd-networkd_on_Debian_Bookworm⠀⇛ Debian’s cloud-images are using systemd-networkd as their default network stack in Bookworm. A slim and feature rich networking daemon that comes included with Systemd itself. Debian’s cloud-images are deploying Netplan on top of this as an easy-to-use, declarative control layer. If you want to experiment with systemd-networkd and Netplan on Debian, this can be done easily in QEMU using the official images. To start, you need to download the relevant .qcow2 Debian cloud-image from… o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Time_to_move_on⠀⇛ After a bit over 12 years working for Canonical, Friday 7th of July was my last day. It’s a bit of a bittersweet moment leaving a company after you’ve invested so much of your time into it, but I believe that now was the right time for me. As I’ve told colleagues and upper management, Canonical isn’t the company I excitedly joined back in 2011 and it’s not a company that I would want to join today, therefore it shouldn’t be a company that I keep working for either. I’ll most miss working with the LXD team. Canonical is truly lucky to have such a great team of engineers going above and beyond to support a project like LXD. It’s quite unique to have a small team with such a wide variety of skills ranging from kernel development, to distributed systems, to web frontends and documentation, all working together to make a project like LXD possible. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ MicroSOM_features_STM32MP1_Series_MCU⠀⇛ The MicroGEA STM32MP13 is a small embedded product based on one of the latest STM32 processors designed for wearables and low-powered consumer applications. Additionally, the device is industrial qualified and supports Linux operating systems. The product page mentions that the module operates on Linux and is Yocto compatible. Additionally, It’s also industrial qualified offering a wide operating temperature range for harsh environments. Specifications listed for these MicroGEA STM32MP13 include… # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ UniHiker_review_–_A_Linux-based_STEM education_platform_with_IoT_and_AI_support,_Micro:bit_edge connector⠀⇛ The UniHiker board is a versatile platform and we can create all sorts of STEM projects including IoT applications for the Smart Home, Smart Agriculture, and so on. That’s because we can connect additional sensors via USB Type-C and Type-A ports, 3-/4-pin Gravity connected, the Micro:bit edge connector, be it webcam, a driver, a servo, or other sensors and actuator, and because the UniHiker board runs on the Linux operating system so we have a large choice of programs that can be installed such as the Node-RED platform to use as an IoT gateway to manage other IoT devices such as ESP32 modules and board through the SIoT platform. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Data Swamp ☛ Old_Computer_Challenge_v3:_day_1⠀⇛ Hi! Today, I started the 3rd edition of the Old Computer Challenge. And it’s not going well, I didn’t prepare a computer before, because I wanted to see how easy it would be. # ⚓ Andrew Hutchings ☛ Acorn_Archimedes_A5000:_Restoration_Part 2⠀⇛ In my previous post I managed to get the A5000 to reliably boot. But due to battery damage it cannot use any drives. The restoration continues… # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Merlin_Mann_and_my_Commodore_16_taught_me_a small_step_is_a_catalyst⠀⇛ It’s a silly example, but a couple of months ago I broke off a key from my second-hand 1984 Commodore 16. I knew that replacing it would entail removing the broken stem from the kepcap, desoldering the board to get access to the other broken part, sourcing a replacement stem, adding the stem, testing it, potentially sourcing replacement carbon pads for the PCB if they’re also damaged, soldering it back together, adding the cap back, and testing again. # ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ How_to_make_the_Watchy_vibrate⠀⇛ I am enjoying playing with the eInk Watchy. It is a cute package and is everything I want in a Smart- Watch; geeky, long battery life, and not obnoxious. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Kim-1:_Memory_Problem_Resolved⠀⇛ At the very start of the personal computer revolution, there were relatively inexpensive boards with little more than a CPU, some memory, a display, and switches or a keypad. Some of these had expansion ports meant to allow you to build up, and some were just “trainers” to learn about computers. While you could argue that the Altair fell into this category, it had a case and a proper bus. The computers we are thinking about were usually just on a single board and — with luck — had an edge connector for expansion. Perhaps the most famous of these was the KIM-1 and [Old VCR] shows us how he brought one back to life. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Express ☛ Nothing_will_rival_Samsung_tomorrow_with_a blockbuster_Android_upgrade_|_Express.co.uk⠀⇛ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ 5_Big_Reasons_You_Shouldn’t_Switch_From_Android To_iPhone⠀⇛ # ⚓ Tom’s Guide ☛ Android_phones_need_to_resurrect_this fantastic_option_|_Tom’s_Guide⠀⇛ # ⚓ Geeky Gadgets ☛ How_to_check_Android_Battery_Health_–_Geeky Gadgets⠀⇛ # ⚓ How_to_factory_reset_Samsung_phone_without_password_using PassFab_Android_Unlocker⠀⇛ # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ LicheePi_4A_RISC-V_SBC_gets_16GB/128GB version,_metal_enclosure,_10.1-inch_display,_and_more accessories_–_CNX_Software⠀⇛ # ⚓ India Today ☛ Android_apps_with_over_10_lakh_downloads found_with_spyware_sending_data_to_China_–_India_Today⠀⇛ # ⚓ Tom’s Guide ☛ Android_spyware_with_over_1.5_million downloads_sends_your_data_to_China_—_delete_these_apps_right now_|_Tom’s_Guide⠀⇛ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ 5_Of_The_Best_Android_Apps_For_Calorie Counting⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ Geary_44_Email_App_for_Linux_Adds_Two_Nifty Enhancements⠀⇛ Geary is one of the best email clients for Linux that has been receiving some pretty decent updates over the years. It’s an email application under the GNOME project that has been tailored for the GNOME desktop (not limited to), with support for the IMAP and SMTP protocols that allow it to integrate neatly with most webmail services. A few days back, a new version released with key improvements. Let’s take a quick look at those. o ⚓ OMG! Linux ☛ Geary_44_is_Out_With_Conversation_List_&_Headerbar Tweaks⠀⇛ Geary should (I’d hope) need minimal introduction. This relatively lightweight, user-friendly app offers an accessible, and more casual approach to managing your e- mail than the likes of Evolution and Thunderbird on Linux. Email protocols IMAP and SMTP are supported by Geary, and the app can be effortlessly setup to pull in mail from popular webmail services like Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, and whatever Microsoft’s email service is called (Outlook? Or is that its email app? I forget). o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_HTTP_status_code_for_a_web server’s_default_“hello”_front_page⠀⇛ I personally find this fascinating and can’t really vote against it (in contrast to Jonathan). To me, it raises the interesting question of whether a web server’s default ‘hello I am ‘ front page should actually exist, in the sense of what HTTP status code it should use. On the one hand, the front page is there and there’s often some traditional content to it (announcing the web server, host OS, and so on, although how wise that is these days is an open question). On the other hand, no one has actually set up this front page; the web server is mostly showing it to be friendly, especially in a completely stock configuration as installed by a package manager (where everyone can assume that the configuration itself is working). Since no actual person has deliberately set up the front page, I can see an argument that the right HTTP response code is a 404 not found. In the sense of deliberate content put there by the website operator, there is no front page. o § FSFE⠀➾ # ⚓ FSFE ☛ 2023-07-04_[Older]_Interoperable_Europe_+++_Cyber Resilience_Act_+++_AI_Act⠀⇛ o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Polymorphism_and_other_important aspects_of_inheritance⠀⇛ This was in fact too much of a hot take, because I left out something that’s sufficiently important that it keeps being reinvented. This is what I’ll call data inheritance or embedding. One version of this embedding is done ad hoc in C through, for example, preprocessor tricks or ‘struct at start’ literal embedding. Go has a more thorough version of C’s struct embedding (see Struct types in the specification), where the embedded thing is more transparently visible than you normally get in C, where fields and methods in the embedded thing can be promoted to be accessed as if they were part of the struct. # ⚓ Matt Rickard ☛ Towards_Technical_CEOs⠀⇛ In software companies, almost every decision has technical implications. Those choices get compounded over time, accumulating technical debt or future-proofing infrastructure. Understanding the technology more can lead to creative strategic options: commoditizing your complement, api warfare, programming to the interface, and embrace/ extend/extinguish. # ⚓ Rlang ☛ New_R_Package_For_HTTP_Headers_Hashing⠀⇛ While effective, HHHash’s performance relies heavily on the characteristics of the HTTP requests, so correlations are typically only established using the same crawler parameters. Locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) could be used to calculate distances between sets of headers for more efficient comparisons. There are some limitations with some LSH algorithms (such as the need to pad content to a minimum byte length) that make the initial use of SHA256 hashes a bit more straightforward. # ⚓ Rlang ☛ The_Doyle_spiral_with_R⠀⇛ It also returns a matrix providing the centers and the radii of the circles, and the color index of each circle. This allowed me to plot the Doyle spiral in 3D with rgl: [...] # ⚓ How_to_Compile_and_Run_C/C++_Program_in_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Ubuntu is getting popular in programming for developers because of being a free and open-source operating system and most of the programming software and compiler # ⚓ Rose_Hudson:_GSoC_status_report_4⠀⇛ Some would call this whining – skip this section if you’re here for technology 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇:)⦈ You’re not supposed to make yourself work when you don’t have energy to because you’ll feel bad. People have tried telling me this and I’ve tried listening but to really take it on board I had to figure out what low energy actually feels like, so here we are, skipping a week of status reporting and holding a suspiciously high Factorio play time. I spent some of that play time making a cool blue circuit factory! Downtime is a good idea, hopefully – we’ll find out next week whether it worked. It’s surprising that one of the hardest problems given to me by the Fates has been fighting against myself, which sounds overly dramatic but in a literal sense is true. I would be moving faster if I felt up to it, but I don’t feel up to it because I moved too fast recently. It’s my fault because I wore myself out, but it’s not my fault to rest when I need to, so instinctively I remain undecided on whether it’s my fault. Sadly this isn’t a balance that I’ve learned to strike, at least not for large scale work that I care about. # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Pandas_Add_Index⠀⇛ To add an index to the Pandas DataFrame, the “dataframe.set_index()” method or the “dataframe.index()” attribute is used in Python. # ⚓ Linux Hint ☛ Pandas_Add_Row_to_DataFrame⠀⇛ To add/insert a row to Pandas DataFrame, the “dataframe.loc”, “pandas.concat()”, and “dataframe.append()” function is used in Python. # ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ Reverse_a_String_in_Python:_Practical Examples⠀⇛ Python, a versatile and powerful programming language, offers a plethora of tools and techniques for manipulating strings. One such operation is string reversal, which, while seemingly simple, can be performed in various ways, each with its unique benefits and use cases. # § Java⠀➾ # ⚓ Nicolas Fränkel ☛ Reactive_database_access_on_the JVM⠀⇛ A couple of years ago, Reactive Programming was all the rage, but it had one big issue: reactive stopped as soon as you accessed a SQL database.
