Summary: The media continues to shill or promote TikTok; the problem is, some of the criticisms are phony and this serves to distract from what_TikTok_truly is THE weekly articles about TikTok focus on some of the things that aren’t in Daily Links but still merit a mention. Social control media is, in general, a bad thing. Linus Torvalds called it a “disease” about a decade ago and his remarked aged fairly well (albeit he too had used Google+ until the platform died). There are already reports that the “FOMO” effect at Facebook’s ‘Twitter killer’ is dying down. Facebook’s founder said_it_best; don’t be his “dumb fucks”… “More than enough harm has been done already; those platforms aren’t tools for activism but for “herding” populations in a top-down fashion.”But what about TikTok? This platform is exceptionally bad for reasons that we covered before. Its more political aspects are explored in [1-2], the “useful idiots” are noted in [3-4] (guess who funds this lawsuit), TikTok still promotes harm [5-7] and worse are the straw men (misinformation [8-9]), which ‘addicts’ are still in denial about [10], with some attempting to copy/replicate [11] this “success”. The problem isn’t misinformation about TikTok but misinformation being promoted and spread widely by TikTok. And sure, TikTok isn’t alone in doing that. But what makes TikTok unique isn’t its nationality but the_controlling_entity, ByteDance. Society ought to collectively reject such platforms (bans_and_boycotts can become obsolete if people just choose anything else). More than enough harm has been done already; those platforms aren’t tools for activism but for “herding” populations in a top-down fashion. They lessen society’s ability to think freely and organise. █ Related/contextual items from the news: 1. ⚓ 2023-07-14_From_TikTok_to_Taking_on_the_CIA:_The_Resurgence_of_Cutting

Personal life and some roadblocks on the project got in the way but I am proud to say that the driver is up and working! § Problems, Problems, and more Problems I got the semaphore problem settled, but I then ran into a problem where the data that the application on the interface side sends a packet was then not receiving the packet. Through some debugging I found out that the interface, when it goes into device_consumer_thread for getting the receive function, it fails here. Looking deeper into when that interface->receive_funcs element gets assigned I found the function here which I realized is never called when I call ifconfig to set up the interface. I ran into the solution to the problem by just changing the type of datalink frame from loopback to an ethernet frame that the interface will be using from now on. That brought the packet to an interface and I started to get a new problem of course 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇:)⦈ o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Trusted_Software_Supply_Chain_with_Vincent_Danen⠀⇛ Available as a cloud service, Red Hat Trusted Software Supply Chain provides a DevSecOps framework to create applications more securely.

For almost 20 years, CentOS Linux has been, for many, the choice for server workloads. However, that’s about to change when CentOS Linux 7, the last live version of the Community ENTerprise Operating System, is going end of life. This means the repositories will be shut down, no new versions will be released and no new updates will be made available. # ⚓ Computer Weekly ☛ AI,_automation_and_edge_driving_Red_Hat channel⠀⇛ Red Hat is looking to work closely with its channel to co-create opportunities, particularly around artificial intelligence (AI), automation and edge, as it continues to build on the momentum it’s generated with partners. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Red_Hat’s_code_restrictions_draw_mostly sympathetic_response_from_open-source_providers [Ed: Open Source is not Free software, it is openwashing]⠀⇛ Over the 30 years of its existence, Red Hat Inc. has cultivated a nice-guy image for its practice of releasing all the fruits of its software development efforts as open-source code for anyone to use. But over the past three weeks that image has taken a hit. # ⚓ Fedora Project ☛ Fedora_Community_Blog:_CPE_Weekly_Update_– Week_28_2023⠀⇛ This is a weekly report from the CPE (Community Platform Engineering) Team.

Originally the divers who found the device and the first scientists to look at it wrote it off as an astrolabe or other some other common type of clock. It wasn’t until decades later when another set of scientists x-rayed the device and surveyed more of the shipwreck where it was found that it began to become one of the more important archaeological discoveries in history. There have been plenty of attempts to recreate this device, and this replica recreates the mechanisms of the original but is altered so it can be built in a modern workshop. o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Firefox_Nightly:_Full_Speed_Into_The_Future_–_These Weeks_in_Firefox:_Issue_142⠀⇛ # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Mozilla_Open_Policy_&_Advocacy_Blog: European_Parliament’s_version_of_the_CRA_threatens cybersecurity_and_open_source_development⠀⇛ Recent discussions in the European Parliament can seriously undermine existing cyber security practices and open source development by setting disproportionate obligations and strict requirements for vendors supplying products in Europe. o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ Update_on_Continued_Trademark_Actions_Against the_PostgreSQL_Community⠀⇛ The PostgreSQL_Community_Association (PGCA, aka the PostgreSQL_Community_Association_of_Canada) wishes to provide guidance on the use of an infringing trademark on what is claimed to be a PostgreSQL community event.

Software should do one thing as simply as possible, and do that one thing only. As a design principle this is sound advice even well outside of the realm of Unix, and indeed software in general, but that doesn’t stop modern software packages from being too large for their own good. So, if you’re tired of bloated chat programs like Slack or Mattermost with their millions of lines of code, you might instead favor something like Simple Unix Chat (suc). # ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ FOSS_Weekly_#23.27:_Peppermint_OS,_Warp Terminal,_Math_Bash_and_More⠀⇛ Red Hat fiasco continues and we have an opinion on it.

I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing or studying many a software failure, and even causing a few. Comes with part of the job. When a software system fails, we open it up, take a look at how it works, make a patch, then close ‘er up and release a new version. Done, more or less, usually. This is possible because the “how it works” part – the computer program – is generally available for inspection and modification.

Meanwhile, Sweden is set to become the newest member, bringing the alliance to 32 countries, after it started in 1949 with just 12 founding members. Historian Grey Anderson says that while NATO is officially about common defense, its true purpose has always been more about giving the United States a dominant role in European affairs. He adds that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has “remarkably strengthened” both NATO and U.S. power on the continent. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Cluster_munitions_reach_Ukraine_a week_after_Biden’s_announcement.⠀⇛ # ⚓ New York Times ☛ A_Commander_Describes_Ukraine’s Counteroffensive_From_the_Front_Lines⠀⇛ Troops with the 36th Marine Brigade have been the tip of the spear in Ukraine’s counteroffensive and have advanced about five miles into a bulge into Russian lines in southern Ukraine. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ U.S._Cluster_Munitions_Arrive_in Ukraine,_but_Impact_on_Battlefield_Remains_Unclear⠀⇛ U.S. officials and military analysts say the weapons, which are banned by many countries, will ease Ukraine’s artillery ammunition shortage but may not have an immediate impact in the war. o § Transparency/Investigative Reporting⠀➾ # ⚓ The Dissenter ☛ Unauthorized_Disclosure:_Zoe_Alexandra⠀⇛ o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Torrential_rain_continues_to_batter South_Korea; 7_killed_and_over_1,500_evacuated⠀⇛ July 15, 2023 11:30 AM Three people were missing and seven were injured. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ 115_Degrees_Fahrenheit⠀⇛ Summer technically just began, and parts of the U.S. already have dangerous heat. # ⚓ France24 ☛ Europe,_China_and_US_swelter_in_record-breaking heatwaves⠀⇛ Summer has just begun in the Northern Hemisphere but a brutal heat wave is already gripping parts of Europe, China and the United States, where record temperatures expected this weekend are a stark illustration of the dangers of a warming climate. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ RFERL ☛ One_Killed_In_Accident_At_Russian_Uranium Plant⠀⇛ One person was killed in an accident at a uranium enrichment plant in Russia’s Urals region on July 14, the RIA Novosti news agency said, but the factory said radiation levels at the site and surrounding area were normal. # ⚓ Binance_lays_off_over_1,000_employees_amid_regulatory hurdle⠀⇛ Binance is reportedly laying off over 1,000 employees as part of a restructuring effort that could result in a reduction of more than a third.

In this case, it’s a guy who didn’t like some things said about him. But in order to get a libel lawsuit going, the plaintiff needs to have a defendant to sue.

Guitar sounds filled the halls, and neighbors kept their doors open. Some residents landed there when the city’s ruthless rental market slammed its doors on them, but they quickly soaked up the creative soul that creaked and hummed, rattled and swelled through the battered hotel. o ⚓ Roma_community_in_Turkey_faces_deepening_challenges_after_Covid- 19_pandemic,_warns_study⠀⇛ From economic challenges to lack of access to services and discrimination, a new report highlights the problems faced by the Roma community in Turkey in the wake of the pandemic. o ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Twitter_Sues_The_Law_Firm_That_Made_Elon_Live_Up_To The_Contract_He_Signed_To_Buy_Twitter⠀⇛ Elon Musk’s Twitter is apparently really hard up for cash. In addition to not paying rent or other important bills, it is now trying to claw back bills that were paid just prior to Elon getting the keys to Twitter. As you may have heard, last week, Twitter sued Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, well known powerhouse law firm for dealing with mergers and acquisitions, which very successfully represented Twitter in court to force Elon to actually complete the deal he had signed, which he then tried to get out of. o ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Pining_For_How_Simple_Life_Was_When_Jesus_Ruled and_Mom_Served_Candy_For_Dinner⠀⇛ Swaddled in sanctimony, bigotry and mawkish nostalgia for a time in America when white men ran everything, right- wing evangelical fabulists gathered this weekend at a Faith and Freedom confab to celebrate the “privilege twins” of Christian nationalism and white supremacy, the triumphant revoking of women’s bodily autonomy, and their tawdry Jesus stand-in and cult leader, affirming, per Kari Lake, “With God on our side, nothing can stop us from taking back this country.” Good God, save us. o ⚓ The Nation ☛ The_Great_Collapsing_Culture_Bubble⠀⇛ Everywhere you look, the culture industry is shrinking. It’s a moment when the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike only cracks the top 10 list of things going wrong. In the last two weeks, a perfect storm of industry trends converged to reshape the experience of dramatic entertainment—decisively for the worse. The Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles canceled its 2023–24 theater season and laid off 10 percent of its staff, citing $8–9 million annual shortfalls in fundraising, and an audience that has not come back since the pandemic. Paramount+’s merger with Showtime brought not only the cancellation of several shows but also their wholesale removal from its platform, for the sake of tax write-offs. Then, WB Discovery continued its companywide crop burn by laying off top executives at the beloved cable channel Turner Classics Movies (TCM). o ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ “What_Arrogance_Looks_Like”:_Supreme_Court Justice_Alito’s_Ruling_vs._EPA_Allegedly_Violates_Ethics⠀⇛ On the final day of the Supreme Court’s term, we speak with David Dayen, executive editor of The American Prospect, about recent revelations detailing many of the Supreme Court conservative justices’ close relationships to Republican megadonors, and how allegations of financial impropriety further delegitimize the court’s standing as an objective legal authority. “These are lifetime appointments,” says Dayen. “This is what arrogance looks like.” o ⚓ The Nation ☛ America’s_Youth_Have_a_Problem⠀⇛ In March, a poll from The Wall Street Journal and NORC found that just 23 percent of people under 30 found patriotism to be “very important” to them, compared to 60 percent of those 65 and older. But what’s the biggest issue facing the country? For young people, there isn’t a clear answer.1 o ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ How_a_Notorious_Georgia_Army_School_Became_America’s Training_Ground_for_Global_Torture⠀⇛ Fort Benning is home to a shadowy academy where around 84,000 Latin American soldiers and police officers have been taught on the U.S. dime on how to kill, torture and how to stamp out political activists. o ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ Hard_Exploitative_Times:_To_Hear_the_Wail_Of_the Children⠀⇛ With a rapacious GOP shredding not just women’s/black/ queer/poor people’s rights but now child labor laws – the number of kids as young as 10 working in America has soared 37% – we mark this weekend’s 120th anniversary of Mother Jones’ 1903 March of the Mill Children, wherein she led 100 “worn down, defeated waifs…sacrificed on the altar of profit” to ask Teddy Roosevelt to end their abuses “in the name of the aching hearts of these little ones.” God bless capitalism: He refused. o ⚓ JURIST ☛ Canada_inquiry_probes_Nike,_Dynasty_Gold_over allegations_of_use_of_forced_Uyghur_labor⠀⇛ Canada launched an inquiry into allegations over the use of the Chinese minority Uyghur forced labor in Nike and Dynasty Gold production lines. The Canadian Ombudsperson for Responsible Enterprise Sheri Meyerhoffer announced the inquiry Tuesday as a part of a broader initiative to evaluate and probe substantial grievances against corporations operating within Canada. o ⚓ The Nation ☛ LA’s_Hotel_Workers_Are_on_Strike⠀⇛ This past week, thousands of hotel workers in dozens of hotels in Los Angeles and Orange County, represented by Unite Here Local 11, walked off the job. The strike, which 96 percent of members voted to authorize, comes after many large hotel contracts expired and the vast majority of owners refused to meet union demands. These include adequate pay raises to reflect California’s soaring housing costs, as well as shoring up pension and health care benefits. They also include requests to hire sufficient numbers of new workers to lower daily workloads to manageable levels for existing housekeepers and other staff, since, despite their having reaped billions of dollars in federal assistance during the Covid pandemic, and despite profit levels in 2023 reaching pre-pandemic heights again, hotels are still making workers do more with less. o ⚓ New York Times ☛ ‘10_Seconds’:_Outrage_Follows_Acquittal_in_Italy Abuse_Case⠀⇛ A court in Rome said it had decided to acquit a janitor accused of improperly touching a student in part because the episode lasted “a handful of seconds” and took place in a public area in front of other students. o ⚓ Axios ☛ Hollywood_shuts_down_as_actors_join_writers_on_strike⠀⇛ SAG-AFTRA, the union that represents Hollywood actors, will strike for the first time since 1980 after failing to reach a new labor deal with the major studios. Why it matters:The actors’ strike, which begins at midnight, marks the first time in 63 years that Hollywood has two unions on strike simultaneously, which is expected to bring the industry to a screeching_halt. It could also lead to a quicker end to Hollywood’s labor war. o ⚓ Axios ☛ Another_family_sues_Harvard_over_stolen_body_parts⠀⇛ Another family has filed a lawsuit asking for class- action status against Harvard Medical School over the university’s role in a ring that allegedly sold human remains on the black market for years. Why it matters:It’s the latest in a string of similar class-action_suits against the prestigious school since federal authorities charged its morgue manager with conspiracy and trafficking of stolen goods. o ⚓ ACLU ☛ How_Michiganders_Showed_Up_for_Reproductive_Freedom_and Won⠀⇛ Last year’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade proved to be a major galvanizing moment for people who support abortion rights in communities across the country as bans began to go into effect. One of those states is Michigan, where a grassroots coalition had growing concerns about an archaic 1931 abortion ban that could take effect if the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and had already been working to prepare for that possibility. Their tireless work put abortion rights on the ballot with Proposal_3, which secured the right to reproductive freedom in Michigan, protecting abortion, prenatal care, birth control, and all pregnancy-related care. * § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ o ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Finally_Close_To_Having_A_Voting_Majority,_Will_The Biden_FCC_Actually_Restore_Net_Neutrality?⠀⇛ Last month we noted how the country’s top telecom and media regulator has been under the bootheel of industry for the better part of seven years, and nobody much seems to care. * § Monopolies⠀➾ o ⚓ Techdirt ☛ It_Ain’t_Over:_FTC_Appeals_Microsoft,_Activision Ruling_While_CMA_Pumps_The_Brakes_On_Restructuring_Deal⠀⇛ Well, well, it appears that rumors of the death of the regulatory battle over the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard purchase have been greatly exaggerated. We just discussed media reports of two items related to the deal. The first was the FTC’s loss in court to get a preliminary injunction barring the two companies from consummating the purchase, potentially allowing them to close on the deal even as FTC litigation remains pending and the CMA in the UK works through Microsoft’s appeal of its blocking the deal. The second were reports that Microsoft and the CMA were close on a restructuring of the deal that would lead to the CMA granting its approval of the purchase. In that post, I indicated that those combined reports threw into question whether the FTC would even bother appealing the ruling. o ⚓ IT Wire ☛ US_FTC_seeks_temporary_halt_to_Microsoft-Activision deal⠀⇛ {loadposition sam08}At that time, the regulator said Microsoft’s solution had “significant shortcomings” and would need oversight. A month prior, the CMA had signalled that it had received new evidence indicating that the deal would not lead to a substantial lessening of competition in the UK console gaming market. A decision by US Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley in San Francisco said the FTC had not shown that Microsoft’s merger with Activision would harm competition for gaming. Her decision means 38 jurisdictions have green-lighted the deal, which has an 18 July deadline for closing. o ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ House_Republicans_set_to_interrogate_FTC’s Khan_over_ethics,_antitrust_issues [Ed: GOP shilling for Microsoft]⠀⇛ House Republicans who say the Federal Trade Commission has been overzealous and politicized under President Joe Biden are set to interrogate agency head Lina Khan on Thursday. They are bringing her before the House Judiciary Committee for the first time amid her court battles with big technology companies. Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has criticized Khan in recent months on a multitude of issues, including what he says are politically motivated actions directed at Elon Musk since he acquired Twitter last year, questions about whether she should have recused herself from certain cases and her legal actions against tech giants on antitrust issues. o ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ FTC_faces_pressure_from_Twitter,_Republicans over_privacy_investigation⠀⇛ A hearing to review FTC Chair Lina Khan’s leadership turned into a debate over the commission’s role overseeing Twitter’s privacy practices. o § Patents⠀➾ # ⚓ Dennis Crouch/Patently-O ☛ SNIPR_v._Rockefeller:_A_Final Nail_in_the_Interference_Coffin⠀⇛ The key benefit of the first-to-file patent regime, introduced by the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA), is the clarity that it provides. The filing date is an understandable, immutable, and reasonable priority claim marker. This is in contrast to the invention “date”, which requires evidence of the inventor’s mental state as shown by corroboratory evidence; spread across time from conception to invention completion accomplished at reduction to practice. Pre-AIA invention priority contests were decided through a process known as Interference Proceedings—mini trials before the Board (then known as the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences or BPAI). # ⚓ Dennis Crouch/Patently-O ☛ User_Matching_Patent_Fails_101 Test_for_Lacking_Technical_Improvement⠀⇛ Trinity Info Media, LLC v. Covalent, Inc., No. 2022-1308, — F.4th — (Fed. Cir. July 14, 2023). Trinity Info Media sued Covalent for infringing two patents covering a process of connecting users based on polling question answers – US Patent Nos. 9,087,321 and 10,936,685. The patents describe a system where users answer polling questions and the system uses those answers to find a “likelihood of match” between users. Connections are suggested for high-likelihood matches. The system uses conventional computer components like processors, memory, servers, etc. The ‘685 patent adds limitations about performing operations on a handheld device, displaying results via swiping, and using a mobile app. The district court granted Covalent’s motion to dismiss, finding the asserted claims ineligible under 35 U.S.C. 101. The Federal Circuit affirmed after analyzing the claims under the two-step Alice/Mayo framework: # ⚓ JUVE ☛ EPO_Boards_of_Appeal_strike_down_important_Nokia patent_in_Oppo_row [Ed: Juve, a bribed propaganda rag for illegal agenda (unconstitutional kangaroo court, UPC), on fake European Patents (which the kangaroos will be eager to allow)]⠀⇛ The game of cat and mouse continues.

To be specific, Judge Linda A. Kuczma returned to private practice in Chicago after 12 years on the Board. The three new judges (see below) bring the total Board membership to 28, including Chief Judge Rogers and Deputy Chief Judge Thurmon.

After Vettel won four championships with Red Bull, Ricciardo was his new team mate and beat him. Promising start. He beat Verstappen in the first two seasons they were team mates. Then he didn’t beat him, and chose to leave Red Bull. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Setting_up_void_linux_on_an_old_raspberry_pi⠀⇛ In this tutorial I walk-through how I set up void linux on an old 2013 Raspberry Pi 1B, then installed a GUI and configured it with i3 window manager, and the basic software I use. A follow-up post will be on my experience using this set-up for the Old Computer Challenge V3. I had originally started using a Chip computer but I rendered it unworkable earlier in the week so pulled out this old Pi I had. I did not set up wifi or a wifi card but instead just plugged the device directly into ethernet, which simplified my setup a bit. Note: I’m not an expert, just an ambitious coder-tinkerer. Directions may not work for everyone nor in all situations. You’ll likely need ingenuity to solve challenges, and things could diverge from what I describe here. Follow at your own risk. # ⚓ Introduction_to_immutable_Linux_systems⠀⇛ If you reach this page, you may be interested into this new category of Linux distributions labeled “immutable”. In this category, one can find by age (oldest → youngest) NixOS, Guix, Endless OS, Fedora Silverblue, OpenSUSE MicroOS, Vanilla OS and many new to come. I will give examples of immutability implementation, then detail my thoughts about immutability, and why I think this naming can be misleading. I spent a few months running all of those distributions on my main computers (NAS, Gaming, laptop, workstation) to be able to write this text. # ⚓ Introduction_to_immutable_Linux_systems⠀⇛ # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ My_manga_collection⠀⇛ I’ve decided to write on [my blog] how I manage my manga collection with org mode (and orgtable / orgplot). If you want to read about the how, you can read it on [my blog (https)] or on the [gemini version] (might be less optimised and images are missing). Although I’ve explained the how I maintain my manga collection, I haven’t shared it. Instead, I’m sharing it only here on my gemini capsule. Maybe people reading my blog will be curious enough to install gemini to read this post 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇:)⦈ ? # ⚓ Gemkerkerkruip⠀⇛ Kerkerkruip is a coffee-break roguelike game with a text adventure interface. This makes it unusually suitable for playing over gemini, and now you can do that: Gemkerkerkruip It’s a mostly solitary affair, but I added a couple of means of user interaction to take advantage of online play: a daily leaderboard, and a “ghosts file”. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Now the North of Japan is getting battered by rain. # ⚓ re:Did_Ricciardo_forget_how_to_drive_fast?⠀⇛ Ricciardo is easily one of my favorite drivers in F1, so I was very excited to hear of his return to Alpha Tauri. That said, I have concerns. Honestly I expected Ricciardo to end up in Indycar or NASCAR after he failed to get a seat this year. It got harder and harder to root for him after his performance on Renault and McLaren. His performance on Red Bull though truly was something to watch, his overtaking ability was amazing. # ⚓ Should_I_Subscribe_to_the_So-Called_Legends?⠀⇛ After much speculation over quite a bit of time, I’ve come to the conclusion that the “standards” of production concerning sonic “normality” are tricks. They apply to a very small percentage of the music making population. They have been refined over decades to appeal to the lowest common denominator. And refined even more now to appeal to those who consume music through streaming services. Like most who are in the habit of composing and recording our own music, I have fallen for this trick time and again and I must untrain myself to hear “mistakes” in production values when they don’t correspond to what the most well-known masterers and producers of the day proclaim to be “correct”. I laugh and laugh at myself when I think more closely about it. Do I follow the guide of mainstream *musicians* to begin with? Am I an acolyte of the pop and rock or even electronica legends? Absolutely not. So why should I subscribe to the so-called legends of sonic “quality”, as well? # ⚓ Is_Ann_Reardon_a_hack?_|_Generic_clickbait_title_for maximum_engagement!⠀⇛ She put this video out a while ago, “investigating” whether cows’ milk is as bad for you as people say, and comparing it to other alternatives like soy milk, almond milk, etc. She touches briefly on the ethical aspects, which honestly for me is the *only* thing I care about when it comes to animal agriculture — but then, I’m someone who doesn’t care one bit how healthy my food is, so like. Whatever. o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Authoritarian_Character_Structure⠀⇛ Radical psychologists Wilhelm Reich and Eric Fromm answered the question of why people submit willingly to authority. While most of us were watching the 2016 presidential election with disgust, someone I’m very close to, looked at me with a fiendish grin and announced, “I’m voting for Donald Trump.” This was perplexing. How could they be captivated by a racist, xenophobic, homophobic narcissist? Having starkly contrasting reactions towards the object of their affinity, I realized a lot of futile and draining arguments were likely to follow. Rifts, drama, and cut-offs between friends and family have become ubiquitous in American society over the past year, with many left bewildered by the resurgent appeal of authoritarianism. # ⚓ Veganism_Is_Not_An_Insult_To_Native_People⠀⇛ There are so many reasons to keep a vegan or at least a vegetarian diet… Health. Animal abuse. Pollution, deforestation, and waste are real consequences of mass consuption of meat. Respect for life. Religion. Offending native people with your opulent veggies is simply not a thing, except for some overeducated fools with way too much time on their hands. If anything, meat eaters are much more guilty of ‘diet appropriation’, with caveman paleo diets and baby-seal-blubber diets. Consuming absurd amounts of fast-food meat daily without ever considering where it came from is terrible. # ⚓ Fundamentalism_seems_alive_and_well⠀⇛ I suspect it’s because whereas you’ve willing submitted to a media narrative, your friend paid attention to what Trump has actually done/said *in context* – which is impossible for you because you’ve also submitted to the aspect of said media narrative that insists you’d have to be an idiot to ever pay attention to what Trump has actually done/ said in context, and you’ve incessantly repeated such to/with others who’ve also submitted to said media narrative, and in the domain of mind whatever is repeated most is what seems most real, because conceptual repetition constitutes “practice makes perfect” in the domain of mind. In my view, *NOBODY* is more racist that the news media. They’re the one’s obsessed with and perpetually talking about colors of people, thus elevating skin color to being a determiner of personhood – the belief at the root of racism. # ⚓ Fading_Echoes⠀⇛ In my recent post “Frankly” I think I left some important things unsaid. Now that the discussion has died down I hope I can risk stating my own points of view without triggering more unpleasantness. The only new posts on the “thread” have been from textmonger and I’m also replying partly to those. I’ll try to be brief. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Old_Computer_Challenge_2023_(0)_preparations⠀⇛ From the notebooks on my desk I chose an 8 year old ACER Travelmate B116. This machine has 4 cores and 8 GiB of RAM. It features a SSD disk, so it is not anywhere near /old/ specs. My Asus from 2007 would fit better, especially with a magnetic drive. However I got rid of that machine some time ago.[a] The Acer had Debian 12 installed on it already. Its disk is encrypted, so I accept the overhead as a little decrease in speed. # ⚓ Inexhaustive_List_of_AI_Models_that_works_on_RK3588⠀⇛ Armed with experience converting scikit-learn to RKNN. I spent the past few days trying to get Waifu2x (Anime image upscaling) and endup defeated. Either RKNN got stuck submitting commands or I get the mysterious message `W RKNN: [07:11:36.064] Output(Deconvolution2DFunction_0): size_with_stride larger than model origin size, if need run OutputOperator in NPU, please call rknn_create_memory using size_with_stride.` and got garbage output. Yet that API is not exposed nor I can find the symbol in the shared library. Heck not even if try to run SRCNN, something much simpler. Something is really weird. Yet searching only shows people running YOLOv8 also facing the same issue without solution. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Jekyll-Gemini_and_Generators⠀⇛ Jekyll-Gemini barfs on this because it’s not a gemini file and it doesn’t know how to ignore it. By default, jekyll-gemini ignores anything that is not a .gmi file. But that only seems to be true in the root directory and the `_posts` directory. # ⚓ Old_Computer_Challenge_2023_–_Day_Six⠀⇛ Some weeks before the Challenge, I switched from Pleroma to Honk as my ActivityPub server. Honk is written in Go, uses SQLite as database and is almost Javascript-free. Today at opening Honk I added the “-g” switch to links, so I get a browser that display graphics. I also had Emacs running ERC, the IRC-client that is build into Emacs. The machine became very slow and even after closing links, it still uses 120Mb of swapspace. # § Software Releases/Announcements⠀➾ # ⚓ Extensive_FAQ_updates,_more_to_come!⠀⇛ I am excited and delighted to announce that I have just published some extensive updates to the official Project Gemini FAQ! This is the first update to the FAQ in over two years, and I’m retrospectively ashamed and embarrassed that it was left in the state that it was for as long as it was. There was nothing terribly wrong with the answers which were in the old FAQ, and in fact a lot of those answers are still there with no or minimal changes. The problem was with its incompleteness and inaccessibility. The FAQ, and indeed the entire gemini.circumlunar.space capsule, have evolved piecemeal over the years from content prepared in the earliest days of the project, when the audience for official information was a lot smaller and a lot less varied. They’ve been tweaked and expanded as interest in the project has grown, but never extensively reworked to address the fact that this audience has grown a lot and changed a lot. Not everybody who hears about Gemini today has used Gopher before – most of them have never heard of it. Introducing Gemini to these folks from the beginning as “something between Gopher and the web” is meaningless. An FAQ where the section entitled “Protocol design” comes before, and is longer than, the section entitled “Getting started in Geminispace” is not welcoming. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

It’s within our gaze upon these stars where we find the inspiration for COSMIC DE, our new desktop environment created for Pop!_OS and other Linux distros. Let’s get into the updates! When resizing a window with your keyboard in COSMIC DE, a hint will appear containing shortcuts for growing and shrinking the window. Tiled windows aligned with the one being resized will be scaled to keep the layout in alignment. o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Some_notes_on_errno_when_tracing Linux_kernel_system_call_results⠀⇛ Suppose, not entirely hypothetically, that you want to print out some information about every fcntl() lock call that fails, system-wide. These days this is relatively easy to do with bpftrace, especially since there are system call entry and exit tracepoints. However, you might reasonably wonder how the fcntl(2) system call actually returns errno, the error code, and how this manifests at the level of the sys_exit_fcntl syscalls tracepoint. As it turns out, there’s some tribal knowledge and peculiarities here. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Alternatives_to Apple_Time_Machine⠀⇛ Time Machine is a built-in backup feature to back up your personal data automatically, including apps, music, photos, emails and documents. Time Machine is proprietary software and not available for Linux. We recommend the best free and open source alternatives. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ The Server Side ☛ Please_make_please_a_sudo_alias_on_your Linux_box⠀⇛ There is something very passive-aggressive about the Linux sudo command. Just the idea of referring to yourself as a super- user, as the first two letters of the sudo command infer, is positively hubristic. The idea of then using the assumed super-user state to demand the Unix-based OS unquestionably perform a function or task is just outright dictatorial. It’s not a good look. # ⚓ IT Pro Today ☛ Mastering_File_Permissions_in_Linux⠀⇛ Linux is a widely used operating system favored by professionals and home users worldwide. It is well known for its strong security and integrity features. In computer security, key concepts include confidentiality, integrity, and availability. When it comes to the computer’s file system, file permissions play a crucial role in securing sensitive information (confidentiality), preventing unauthorized modifications to files (integrity), and allowing appropriate access to files for authorized users (availability). In Linux, file permissions can be set using both the graphical user interface (GUI) and the command line in the terminal. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ Setting_Up_a_New_Next.js_Application⠀⇛ Next.js is a free, open-source JavaScript framework created by Vercel. Developed on top of React, it’s designed to provide an efficient solution for building server-side rendered and static websites. It offers powerful features like hybrid static & server rendering, TypeScript support, smart bundling, and route pre-fetching. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ How_to_Remove_Warning_and_Error_Messages_in PHP⠀⇛ PHP, being a robust server-side scripting language, is widely used in web development. # ⚓ Ryan Mulligan ☛ CSS_Custom_Property_Fallbacks_in_Shorthand Values⠀⇛ CSS Custom Properties are incredibly versatile and have become especially useful as customizable props in common layout and component style patterns. Here’s an example derived from the SmolCSS site: [...] # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Attackers_target_the_Domain_Name_System, the_[Internet]’s_phone_book._Here’s_how_to_fight_back⠀⇛ The foundational Domain Name System, essentially the phone book for the [Internet], used to be something nobody using the net much noticed, but lately it has become more of a target, and the cost of attacks against it are huge and growing. Recent events have once again brought issues involving the DNS, as it’s called for short, to the forefront. A new kind of denial-of-service attack called Water Torture is the most recent, but earlier this year has seen other DNS-based attacks on Telsa’s network in January and a new malware toolkit called Decoy Dog that targeted business networks. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Bizarre_backup_taught_techie_to_dumb things_down_for_the_boss⠀⇛ That action saw the exec intone the following: “I need my Trash back, it is where I keep all my important mails.” “Needless to say, because of the limited time available to my team, the one folder we hadn’t migrated was the Trash,” Curtis lamented. # ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_theory_versus_the_practice_of “static_websites”⠀⇛ The first thought is that in practice, things look different on a long time scale. The use of static files for web content has proven extremely durable over the years. Although the specific web servers and hosts may have changed, both the static file content and the general approach of ‘put your static files with .type extensions in a directory tree’ has lived on basically since the beginning of the web. One pragmatic reason for this is that serving static files is both common and very efficient. Since it’s commonly in demand even in dynamic websites, people who only have static files can take advantage of this. Being common and ‘simple’ has meant that serving only static content creates a stable site that’s easy to keep operating. This is historically not the case with dynamic websites. The second thought is that one reason for this is that static websites create a sharp boundary of responsibilities with simple, strong isolation. On the one side is all of the complexity of the static web server (which, today, involves a bunch of dynamic updates for things like HTTPS certificates). On the other side is those static files, and in the middle is some filesystem or filesystem like thing. What each side needs from the other is very limited. Any environment for dynamic websites necessarily has no such clear, small, and simple boundary between the web server and your code, and on top of that we’re unlikely to ever be able to standardize on a single boundary and API for it. # ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ Master_The_Command_Line_With_Useful_Bash Aliases_In_Linux_And_Unix⠀⇛ In the world of Linux/Unix, Bash aliases serve as powerful tools to enhance your command line experience. By creating shortcuts for frequently used commands or command sequences, you can save time and increase productivity. This guide presents an extensive collection of useful Bash aliases, providing clear explanations for each alias’s purpose and benefits. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a command line enthusiast, this guide will help you harness the power of aliases and optimize your workflow. # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ lshw_Command_in_Linux:_Get_Hardware Details⠀⇛ While running any operating system, a user will find himself in a situation where he wants to know all the hardware details. # ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Delete_HUGE_(100-200GB)_Files_in_Linux⠀⇛ In the realm of Linux terminal operations, a range of Linux commands are at our disposal for the purpose of effectively deleting or removing files. When it comes to the task of file elimination, we commonly rely on the “rm” command, which swiftly erases files from the system. For enhanced security and assurance, the “shred” command comes into play, ensuring the thorough and secure deletion of a file, leaving no trace behind. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ CodeWeavers_blog_about_their_Linux_/_Steam Deck_work_on_Proton_with_PooShooter⠀⇛ PooShooter: Toilet Invaders, yes it’s a real game and we all had a bit of a chuckle when we saw Valve noted it fixed in a Proton changelog recently. CodeWeavers, Valve’s partner on Proton development, have a blog post up talking about why it was interesting to solve. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Retro-inspired_JRPG_‘Alterium_Shift’_enters Early_Access⠀⇛ Love your classic JRPG-likes? Alterium Shift is another good looking entry that recently entered Early Access on Steam with Native Linux support. Built with the Unity game engine as far as I can see, it works great on Fedora KDE 38. Note: the developer sent a key. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Cartridges_game_launcher_adds_support_for Legendary_for_Epic_Games_and_Flatpaks⠀⇛ Remember Cartridges? The simple launcher that aims to be a sort-of all in one solution, to bring together games from all of your sources. Well, it just had a nice upgrade. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Try_out_the_new_demo_of_the_upcoming_JRPG inspired_Quartet⠀⇛ Following a success on Kickstarter, turn-based pixel-art JRPG inspired title Quartet now has a demo available with Native Linux support. The Kickstarter back in 2021 pulled in a nice $54,203 towards development so it’s good to see some activity letting players experience a little of it. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ New_DLC_info_for_retro-style_beat-’em-up Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles:_Shredder’s_Revenge⠀⇛ More information and a new trailer have been published for the recently-announced Dimension Shellshock DLC for the native Linux beat-’em-up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, revealing a new Survival Mode. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Volker Krause ☛ Looking_forward_to_Akademy_2023⠀⇛ In less than 50 hours from now Akademy_2023 will start in Thessaloniki, Greece, with plenty of things to look forward to. After having missed_last_year and the two previous ones having been online only, it’s the first in-person Akademy in four years for me. While I have been at a couple of events in the recent months, there’s still a number of people I haven’t been able to meet again in person since Akademy_in_Milan, so this is all long overdue. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ HaikuOS ☛ Haiku_Activity_&_Contract_Report,_June_2023⠀⇛ The biggest changes last month were a series of commits by waddlesplash, all related to the user_mutex API and the consumers of it. This API is the kernel portion of the implementation of basically anything related to mutexes or locks in userland, including pthread_mutex, pthread_cond, pthread_barrier, unnamed semaphores (via sem_open), rwlocks, and more. It bears some resemblance in concept to Linux’s futex API, but is very different in both design and implementation. o ⚓ Data Swamp ☛ Introduction_to_immutable_Linux_systems⠀⇛ If you reach this page, you may be interested into this new category of Linux distributions labeled “immutable”. In this category, one can find by age (oldest → youngest) NixOS, Guix, Endless OS, Fedora Silverblue, OpenSUSE MicroOS, Vanilla OS and many new to come. I will give examples of immutability implementation, then detail my thoughts about immutability, and why I think this naming can be misleading. I spent a few months running all of those distributions on my main computers (NAS, Gaming, laptop, workstation) to be able to write this text. o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ MX Linux ☛ MX-23_“Libretto”_Release_Candidate_1_(RC1)_now available⠀⇛ MX-23 RC1 is now available for testing. MX-23 is built from debian 12 “bookworm” and MX repositories. As in past releases, the MX will default to sysVinit but systemd remains an option for installed systems. Updates from RC to final are fully supported. This release builds upon beta 2, and includes all bug fixes and changes to date, including default wallpapers and theming as well as updated translations and applications. In this release we are very interested in installer testing. Many bugs related to btrfs installations have been addressed. The installer has received many updates since beta2. The Installer now supports swapfiles as well as swap partitions. The “regular” auto installation will default to swapfiles. There are many other installer changes, including gui adjustments (layout builder in the custom install partitions area), setting of some debconf value to make legacy grub-pc updates more seamless, various fixes for grub install functions and cleanup of “dump” entries that might be clogging up a user’s nvram. There is also additional help guidance right in the installer gui. # ⚓ Beta News ☛ Debian_12-based_MX_Linux_23_‘Libretto’_achieves release_candidate_status⠀⇛ o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Undeadly ☛ Mandatory_enforcement_of_indirect_branch targets⠀⇛ Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) has updated innovations.html to include an item regarding the work which has been done to enforce indirect branch target restriction (on the amd64 [Intel] and arm64 platforms). o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ Tumbleweed_Brings_KDE_Users_Frameworks,_Gear Updates⠀⇛ This week brought KDE users of openSUSE‘s rolling release Tumbleweed updates for Frameworks and Gear along with several other updated packages. Snapshots have been rolling out with various enhancements and bug fixes this week. The more recent snapshot, 20230712, updated GNU Compiler Collection 13.1.1 and the changes related to the architecture levels for the Adaptable Linux Platform. A patch was also removed. The Linux Kernel also updated in the snapshot as kernel- source 6.4.2 addressed a Common Vulnerability and Exposure. CVE-2023-3269 addressed the lock handling for accessing and updating virtual memory areas. The tool to copy files cpio backported some upstream fixes, refreshed some patches and removed four patches. A few GNOME packages updated in the snapshot. Miscellaneous bug fixes along with some cleanup, and updated translations arrived in the gnome-shell 44.3; it also fixed a cursor offset issue with the magnifier. The 44.3 mutter had improvements to ensure the preferred monitor mode is always included and to avoid rapid toggling of dynamic maximum render time. It also fixes an issue with a dynamic maximum render time. Additionally, there are miscellaneous bug fixes and updated translations. An update of yast2-storage-ng 4.6.12 ensures that storage support packages are added correctly for MicroOS, which uses a custom partitions proposal client instead of another specific client. Several other packages were updated in the snapshot. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ AlmaLinux_Announces_Its_Solution_to_RHEL Source_Code_Conundrum⠀⇛ On Thursday, the AlmaLinux Foundation made public its plans to continue to develop and maintain its RHEL clone without access to Red Hat’s source code. # ⚓ Unicorn Media ☛ FOSS_Week_In_Review:_Istio_Graduates, Oracle_Bitch-Slaps_Red_Hat_&_Elon_Musk’s_AI_Dream⠀⇛ Guess what, everybody? We’re back. # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ AlmaLinux_Decided_to_Drop_1:1_Compatibility_with RHEL⠀⇛ AlmaLinux emerged as a prominent alternative for users seeking a stable, community-driven operating system after CentOS shifted its focus to CentOS Stream, a rolling-release distribution. The distro quickly gained recognition as a suitable, enterprise-ready replacement for CentOS, offering a stable and secure environment that mirrored RHEL. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Matt_Brown:_2023_Mid_Year_Review⠀⇛ I’m six months into my journey of building a business which means its time to reflect and review the goals I set for the year. # ⚓ Aurélien Jarno ☛ Goodbye_Debian_GNU/kFreeBSD⠀⇛ Over the years, the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD port has gone through various phases. After many years of development, it was released as technology preview with the release of Squeeze and eventually became an official architecture with the release of Wheezy. However it ceased being an official architecture a couple of years later with the release of Jessie, although a jessie-kfreebsd suite was available in the official archive. Some years later, it was moved to the debian-ports archive, where it slowly regressed over the years. The development totally has now been stopped for over a year, and the port has been removed from the debian-ports archive. It’s time to say it goodbye! o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackster ☛ System76_Open_Sources_the_Electronics_for_Virgo, Its_Upcoming_In-House_Linux_Laptop_Design⠀⇛ System76, builder of Linux-based desktops, laptops, and servers, has announced that its upcoming Virgo laptop will be designed in the open — and to prove it, has published its circuits’ design files to GitHub under a reciprocal license. “We will be moving Virgo laptop PCB design to this public, GPLv3 licensed [GitHub repository],” Jeremy Soller, System76 principal engineer, announced via Twitter yesterday, shortly before the files went live. “This will be the most open, modern x86 motherboard design I know of.” # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Review_of_SunFounder_Raspberry_Pi_UPS_Power Supply⠀⇛ SunFounder’s Raspberry Pi UPS Power Supply is a complete UPS kit for the Raspberry Pi 3/4 Model B/ B+ with a PiPower board, a 2,000 mAh battery, and all accessories requires for the assembly. It also works with other Raspberry Pi-sized boards such as Banana Pi BPI-M5, Hardkernel ODROID-C4, Libre Computer ROC-RK3328-CC, and other similar SBCs. Many years ago, I bought a Raspberry Pi battery pack for review hoping that it would also work as a UPS, but it was not perfect as the board would sometime reboot during power failure simulations. Since then, there have been many UPS kits launched to the market, but I didn’t try any so far, so when SunFounder contacted CNX Software to review their “Raspberry Pi UPS Power Supply”, I took the opportunity, and I will report my finding in this review. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Raspberry_Pi:_Our_Code_Editor_is_open source⠀⇛ We’ve made the code for our Code Editor open source so people can repurpose and contribute to it. Here are the details. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ AWAKE_is_a_very_pretty_wake-up_light⠀⇛ Humans evolved to sleep and wake according to natural light cycles. So it is strange that we, as a society, have largely chosen to rely on blaring alarms to wake up in the mornings. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Can_tripedal_robots_actually_walk?⠀⇛ Building walking robots is difficult, because they either need a lot of legs or some ability to balance through their gait. There is a reason that the robots designed by companies like Boston Dynamics are so impressive. But lots of hobbyists have made bipedal and quadrupedal robots, while largely ignoring tripedal robots. # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ AI_weed_killer_uses_sunlight_and_Raspberry Pi⠀⇛ A TensorFlow custom image classification model taught the robot to differentiate between weeds and plants that Nathan wants to keep. When the Raspberry Pi identifies a weed, the motors flip out the giant lens and manoeuvre it into place directly above the hapless plant. Photoresistors track the direction from which the light is coming, and provide the information needed to focus the sun’s beam through the lens. Then the weed burns to death. Sounds bleak, but nature is cruel by necessity. # ⚓ Andrew Hutchings ☛ Amiga_3000:_Restoration_Part_1⠀⇛ There has been a long running joke with my friend Paulee that I would buy their Amiga 3000 from them. Then, a week ago, they connected me to someone in Canada who was looking to sell their Amiga 3000 at a reasonable price. I purchased it and a couple of days later, it arrived. It is working but needs a little work, so let’s get into it. # ⚓ Adafruit ☛ When_Open_Becomes_Opaque:_The_Changing_Face_of Open-Source_Hardware_Companies⠀⇛ However, recently some open-source hardware companies have either gone closed-source on products, are in process of going closed-source, are delaying the release of files/source code, or require NDAs to obtain the software for an advertised-as open-source hardware & OSHWA certified product. Many of the formerly open-source hardware and software based companies were built on open-source, what will this mean for the users, and open-source community going forward? Why write about this? This article intends to highlight some examples of what’s happening now as part of the years I’ve spent covering open-source and open-source hardware. Things are changing, that’s for sure. For almost two decades, starting at MAKE Magazine, including when I founded Hack a Day (2004), then working full-time at Adafruit, I’ve covered the start of open-source hardware and all its ups and downs. From the open-source hardware definition, the logo disputes, Arduino’s former CEO ousting, and MakerBot going closed- source – I’m stuck with this beat, and this beat is stuck with me. Since I have covered this beat for so long, companies and individuals ask for assistance on a regular basis when something is damaging the community, false open-source claims, straight-up code credit removal / attribution, or when switcheroo behavior comes up. The current challenge for helping out is that many of the companies or people who are bending or breaking the rules have specifically described Limor, myself, and Adafruit as a competitor. The strategy is to assist folks with open-source software and hardware disputes privately, contacting the parties and see if there is an agreeable resolution. The goal is to avoid a Twitter fight and pile-on where it gets personal and brings out the worst in everyone. So far, communicating directly and privately has worked out – there has been a “ruffling of feathers” when it’s a self-described “competitor,” but other open- source hardware companies are not competitors. The best way to describe it is: we are at a skate park, doing tricks, pushing what’s possible, and trying to learn and share from each other for the next trick – building upon each other to go to new heights. Sometimes the next big trick doesn’t land unless you can learn from someone else. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ This_Bluetooth_tank_is_a_perfect_first_robot⠀⇛ The project starts with a tracked robot chassis kit, which includes the frame, DC motors, hubs, and tracks. An Arduino Nano Every board controls those motors through an L298N H-bridge driver. An HC-05 module adds connectivity and power comes from a 9V battery. The electronics enclosures are 3D- printable, but you can also use any pre-built project box. If you do have a 3D printer, you can also add a tank turret rotated by a 9g micro servo motor. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Mows_Your_Lawn_So_You_Don’t Have_To⠀⇛ According to Ulli, he’s been working alongside TGD- Consulting, a German IT firm, to develop the mower and create some software that’s effective and easy to use. As of right now, the project is still in development so it’s not quite finished yet. Most recently, Ulli has 3D printed a chassis for the basic hardware components that enable them to test the latest software release. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Android Authority ☛ Google_could_be_working_on_a_‘Connected Flight_Mode’_for_Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ Are_Android_Tablets_Finally_Worth_Buying?⠀⇛ # ⚓ Dignited ☛ Common_Android_Features_Missing_on_Pixel_Phones –_Dignited⠀⇛ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ How_to_Share_Photos_and_Videos_From_the Google_Photos_App_on_Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Central ☛ Moto_G_Stylus_5G_(2023)_vs._Samsung Galaxy_A34_5G_|_Android_Central⠀⇛ # ⚓ Digital Trends ☛ I_ditched_my_iPad_Pro_for_an_Android tablet_— here’s_why_|_Digital_Trends⠀⇛ # ⚓ SamMobile ☛ Android_Auto_update_brings_new_Google_Assistant design_–_SamMobile⠀⇛ # ⚓ India Times ☛ Android_Upgrade_Invite:_Here’s_how_Google will_convince_you_to_install_an_Android_update_–_Times_of India⠀⇛ # ⚓ Sportskeeda ☛ Best_smartwatches_for_Android⠀⇛ # ⚓ SamMobile ☛ Another_Galaxy_S23_Android_14_One_UI_6.0_test firmware_spotted!_–_SamMobile⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o ⚓ Medevel ☛ Swiple:_Open-source_Automated_Data_Monitoring⠀⇛ The data quality automation plugin for data teams. Experience data quality observability in your ELT/ETL pipeline that would usually take a year to build, in just a few hours. o ⚓ Medevel ☛ DQO:_Open-source_Data_Quality_Operations_Center⠀⇛ DQO is a powerful DataOps friendly data quality monitoring tool that is designed to help you monitor and maintain the quality of your data. With DQO, you get access to a wide range of customizable data quality checks and data quality dashboards that make it easy to keep an eye o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # § Mozilla⠀➾ # ⚓ Mozilla ☛ Support.Mozilla.Org:_Introducing_our_recent new_hires⠀⇛ Hey folks, I’m so thrilled to introduce you to our team’s recent new hires. This week, we’re joined by 3 new folks and here’s a bit of an intro from the 3 of them: 1. Sarto Jama – Community Manager Hey guys, Sarto Jama here! I’m a Community Manager here at Mozilla. I was born and raised in Atlanta, where I currently reside with my 9 year old daughter (huge fan of Minecraft and Legos). Before finding my way to Community management, I spent five and a half years supporting a product called Knack. Knack allows users to easily build database apps. Knack is a much smaller company than Mozilla, so I was able to wear many hats during my time there. I’ve worked in Customer Support, helped build and managed their knowledge base, moonlighted as a member of the QA team, served on the hiring committee, helped establish the Technical Support team there and honestly a little bit of everything in between. When I’m not trying #allthethings, o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ Ora2Pg_24.0_have_been_released⠀⇛ Montreal, Canada – July 5th, 2023 § Ora2Pg Version 24.0 of Ora2Pg, a free and reliable tool used to migrate an Oracle database to PostgreSQL, has been officially released and is publicly available for download. This major release adds official support to migration of SQL Server database to PostgreSQL. It also fixes several issues reported since past height months and adds some new features and improvements. # ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ pgCluu_v3.5_released⠀⇛ § pgCluu – PostgreSQL Cluster Utilization pgCluu is a Perl program used to perform a full audit of a PostgreSQL Cluster performances. It is divided in two parts, a collector used to grab statistics on the PostgreSQL server using psql and sar, a reports builder that will generate all HTML and charts output. This is a maintenance release that fixes issues reported since the past six months and adds support to PostgreSQL 16. # ⚓ PostgreSQL ☛ Announcing_SQLPage:_Build_Dynamic_Web Applications_in_SQL⠀⇛ ✐ 👨‍💻 Introduction⠀✐ SQLPage is a free_and_open-source_tool_for_building beautiful_web_apps_entirely_in_SQL. It is a small single binary executable that runs a web server, executes .sql files on demand, and renders the results using a wide array of pre- defined web components. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Congratulations_to_all_2022/23 participants⠀⇛ We announce the winning and highly commended teams of young people who coded experiments for this year’s Astro Pi Mission Space Lab. # ⚓ Olimex ☛ Olimex’s_soldering_workshop_in_Burgas_tomorrow!⠀⇛ The workshop will start from 12.30 and will be up to 16.00 o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ OpenCV_4.8.0_Is_Now_Available!⠀⇛ # ⚓ Medevel ☛ 10_Open-source_Popular_React_Calendar_Libraries⠀⇛ React is a powerful and popular JavaScript library used to build modern web applications. # ⚓ Matt Rickard ☛ Stop_Overengineering⠀⇛ Overengineering works against results. Shifting the focus away from results is never good — for personal projects, corporate codebases, or anything in between. # ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ Recognizing_string_prefixes_with_SIMD instructions⠀⇛ Suppose that I give you a long list of string tokens (e.g., “A”, “A6”, “AAAA”, “AFSDB”, “APL”, “CAA”, “CDS”, “CDNSKEY”, “CERT”, “CH”, “CNAME”, “CS”, “CSYNC”, “DHC”, etc.). I give you a pointer inside a much larger string and I ask you whether you are pointing at one of these tokens, and if so, which one. To make things slightly more complicated, you want the token to be followed by a valid separator (e.g., a space, a semi-colon, etc.) and you want to ignore the case (so that “aaaa” matches “AAAA”). How might you solve this efficiently? # ⚓ Olimex ☛ AgonLight_Week_Programming_Challenge_–_ISSUE_4⠀⇛ AgonLight Programming challenge is here again! I just wanted to give you some time to rest and refresh for the next round! As you know we changed the format now you have whole week to solve the problem, not just a weekend! # § Java⠀➾ # ⚓ Fernando Borretti ☛ Why_Checked_Exceptions_Failed⠀⇛ Java has this feature called checked exceptions, why lets you annotate a method with the set of exceptions it may throw, like so: [...] * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Ali Reza Hayati ☛ The_urge_of_microblogging⠀⇛ Microblogging is so addictive. Whatever you do or whatever interesting happens to you will go online with microblogs and we do that unconsciously because we’re used to it. We see that kind of stuff and we do that so constantly that we don’t even realize what we’re doing no more. That scares me. The urge for microblogging, no matter how wonderful it is, scares me. o ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ Things_I_Like_Over_Things_I_Don’t⠀⇛ Then, in master blogger style, he linked me to one of his own posts explaining why he thinks the way he does: I realized that the people I admire most don’t only criticize technology they dislike. Rather, they amplify the things they enjoy. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Scientist_Claims_Universe_Is_Twice_as_Old_as_We Thought⠀⇛ And make no mistake: the dominant theory is still that the universe is 13.7 billion years and expanding. But, in a surprising twist, University of Ottawa astronomer Rajendra Gupta has dusted off Zwicky’s work with a new theory that he says reconciles the two models — and concludes that the universe may actually be 26.7 billion years old, or twice as old as its generally accepted age. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Times Higher Education ☛ Student_use_of_machine_translation ‘a_debate_we_have_to_have’⠀⇛ Dr Gniel said students were using tools such as Google Translate to convert work from their first languages into English, then polishing it with proofreading apps such as Grammarly – practices they would undoubtedly continue in the workplace after graduation. But such behaviour was problematic while they were still at university, she said, because of the expectation that they were educated in English. If courses had been delivered in other languages, institutions were legally required to note this on testamurs. # ⚓ Gannett ☛ Thailand_cave_rescuer_delivers_commencement speech_to_survivor’s_class,_5_years_after_rescue⠀⇛ After nine days of surviving off minimal freshwater, Samon and the rest of the team were found by Rick Stanton, a volunteer from an elite British diving team. Stanton and the team supplied all the 13 of them with medicine and foil blanks before bringing them to the surface over three days. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Jungle ☛ Spending_On_Legacy_Systems_Stalls_In_Q1,_2023 Forecast_Looks_Weak⠀⇛ Neither Gartner nor IDC put out their quarterly server and storage reports for the public anymore, but IDC does still release a converged dataset that adds server and storage spending together and carves it up based on if it is spend on the clouds or for traditional – what we would call legacy – systems. The latest results are out for the first quarter of 2023, and there is what looks like a temporary stall in legacy system spending and it looks like it is going to get worse here in 2023 but return to growth in the coming years. # ⚓ J Pieper ☛ moteus_firmware_releases⠀⇛ It is embarrassing how long this issue has been outstanding, but ever since the flexible I/O system was introduced, there has been an issue where if the gear reduction was configured to a value other than 1, then the output position would drift from the source encoder over time. If control was not active, you would see the position drift, and if control was active, then moteus would report the correct position, but the actual position would drift. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ India Times ☛ ChatGPT_co_faces_FTC_probe_over_tech_harms⠀⇛ The FTC’s investigation poses the first major regulatory threat to OpenAI. Sam Altman, the startup’s co-founder, testified in Congress in May and said he invited AI legislation to oversee the fast-growing industry, which is under scrutiny because of how the technology can potentially kill jobs and spread disinformation. OpenAI did not respond to a request for comment. # ⚓ Teleport ☛ Version_Control_Best_Practices_With_Teleport RBAC_Roles⠀⇛ Checking in your Teleport RBAC roles into some kind of version control lets you collaborate with other engineers smoothly. It keeps everyone in the loop, showing who changed what, when and why. This is crucial from a day-to-day standpoint as well as an audit and compliance one. While you might get away with managing your RBAC roles yourself locally if you have a tiny team, version control becomes increasingly important at scale for three main reasons: maintaining accountability thus providing a clear chain of custody, having a history of changes, and reducing overall complexity. # § Windows TCO⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Microsoft_comes_under_pressure_as_more details_of_breach_emerge⠀⇛ Microsoft is coming under increasing pressure from both the security community and the US government after it was disclosed that the company’s cloud platform was breached and emails stolen from a number of government agencies, allegedly by Chinese attackers. Adding to the pressure on the Redmond software giant is the fact that the breach itself was discovered by employees of the US State Department who then informed Microsoft about it. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Microsoft_cloud_breached,_but_US_Government had_to_tell_it_so⠀⇛ The email account of US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was among a slew of accounts breached at both the State and Commerce Departments by attackers, claimed to be from China, who gained access through a vulnerability in Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform. # ⚓ The Washington Post ☛ Chinese_[crackers]_breach_email of_Commerce_Secretary_Raimondo_and_State_Department officials⠀⇛ The Microsoft vulnerability was discovered last month by the State Department. Also targeted were the email accounts of a congressional staffer, a U.S. human rights advocate and U.S. think tanks, officials and security professionals said. State and Commerce were the only two executive branch agencies known to be breached, officials said. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Microsoft_blithely_signing_malicious drivers_with_legitimate_certificates⠀⇛ In a statement, the security firm said drivers signed by WHCP would be fully trusted by any Windows system. This meant “attackers can install them without raising any alarms and proceed to carry out malicious activity virtually unimpeded”, This phenomenon does not appear to be new; in 2021, as British security guru Kevin Beaumont pointed out on Mastodon, Microsoft did exactly the same thing. # ⚓ Tampa Bay ☛ Hillsborough_notifies_70,000_of_potential data_breach_in_health,_aging_services⠀⇛ A county news release said MOVEit, notified the county of a breach June 1 and staff began installing security measures. On June 18, the county’s cyber security staff learned files belong to the Health Care Services and Aging Services departments had potentially been at risk. The files contained protected health and personal information, including names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, medical conditions, diagnoses and disabilities. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Chinese_[cracking]_operation_puts Microsoft_in_the_crosshairs_over_security_failures⠀⇛ As the Biden administration pushes a so- called “secure by default” approach to cybersecurity as a part of the White House National Cybersecurity Strategy, the fact that Microsoft up-charges customers for security features — even to discover its own flaws — has some officials questioning the reliance on huge tech firms that play a central role in Washington’s broader computer security initiatives. “Offering insecure products and then charging people premium features necessary to not get [breached] is like selling a car and then charging extra for seatbelts and airbags,” Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said in a statement. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ F.T.C._Opens_Investigation_Into ChatGPT_Maker_Over_Technology’s_Potential_Harms⠀⇛ In a 20-page letter sent to the San Francisco company this week, the agency said it was also looking into OpenAI’s security practices. The F.T.C. asked OpenAI dozens of questions in its letter, including how the start-up trains its A.I. models and treats personal data, and said the company should provide the agency with documents and details. The F.T.C. is examining whether OpenAI “engaged in unfair or deceptive privacy or data security practices or engaged in unfair or deceptive practices relating to risks of harm to consumers,” the letter said. o § Linux Foundation⠀➾ # ⚓ CNCF_CTO_Foresees_Larger_Orchestration_Role_for Kubernetes⠀⇛ Cloud Native Computing Foundation CTO Chris Aniszczyk said the role Kubernetes plays in enterprise IT environments is on the verge of expanding beyond simply orchestrating containers. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Friday_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by Debian (lemonldap-ng and php-dompdf), Red Hat (.NET 6.0, .NET 7.0, firefox, and thunderbird), Scientific Linux (firefox and thunderbird), SUSE (ghostscript, installation-images, kernel, php7, python, and python-Django), and Ubuntu (linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-ibm, linux-oracle, mozjs102, postgresql-9.5, and tiff). # ⚓ Mirror UK ☛ Sex_abuse_victim’s_details_could_be_among hundreds_revealed_by_data_breach⠀⇛ A sex abuse survivor is one of “around 400” victims of a “chilling” data breach, it tonight has emerged. The London Mayor’s Office blunder, currently under investigation, involves complaints about policing in the capital being made wrongly accessible via an official website. The survivor of sexual abuse has described her distress tonight. The probe centres on the London Mayor’s Office online forms which were hosted by the Greater London Authority’s website. # ⚓ Tampa Bay ☛ Hillsborough_notifies_70,000_of_potential_data breach_in_health,_aging_services⠀⇛ Hillsborough County has notified more than 70,000 people that a global data breach may have put their personal information at risk. The breach involved the MOVEit file transfer tool, a third-party service that complies with federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations. The breach also may have affected 106 people employed by a dozen vendors used by the county’s Aging Services Department. # ⚓ Citrix_fixed_a_critical_flaw_in_Secure_Access_Client_for Ubuntu [Ed: Typical proprietary software]⠀⇛ Citrix addressed a critical vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2023-24492 (CVSS score of 9.6), affecting the Secure Access client for Ubuntu that could be exploited to achieve remote code execution. An attacker can trigger the vulnerability by tricking the victim into opening a specially crafted link and accepting further prompts. # ⚓ Benefit_from_Linux_Security⠀⇛ The siloed security of traditional SAP environments is reaching its limits in an era of increasing interconnectivity between SAP and non-SAP systems. Will this lead to compromises in process landscape security? The answer is no. Established security layers from the open source and Linux world are also certified for SAP landscapes. Supported by an automated solution, they can even simplify and increase IT security. There are many tried and tested features available for Linux that also improve IT security in a sustainable manner, which can now be increasingly curated and certified for use in SAP landscapes. # ⚓ Bleeping Computer ☛ Fake_Linux_vulnerability_exploit_drops data-stealing_malware [Ed: Typical FUD from Microsoft- connected sites, perhaps trying to shift focus to "Linux" after Microsoft diddled the entire US government with its clown computing breach (Microsoft blames "China")]⠀⇛ ​Cybersecurity researchers and threat actors are targeted by a fake proof of concept (PoC) CVE-2023- 35829 exploit that installs a Linux password- stealing malware. Uptycs analysts discovered the malicious PoC during their routine scans when detection systems flagged irregularities such as unexpected network connections, unauthorized system access attempts, and atypical data transfers. # ⚓ Hacker News ☛ Fake_PoC_for_Linux_Kernel_Vulnerability_on GitHub_Exposes_Researchers_to_Malware [Ed: This is not a Linux issue but social engineering. GitHub is Microsoft/NSA proprietary software. People who use it already disregard security.]⠀⇛ In a sign that cybersecurity researchers continue to be under the radar of malicious actors, a proof- of-concept (PoC) has been discovered on GitHub, concealing a backdoor with a “crafty” persistence method. # ⚓ Bleeping Computer ☛ AVrecon_malware_infects_70,000_Linux routers_to_build_botnet[Ed: They're not Linux routers, the issue is further up the stack, sometimes bad passwords. Anything to distract from what Microsoft just did to the US government?]⠀⇛ “We suspect the threat actor focused on the type of SOHO devices users would be less likely to patch against common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs),” Black Lotus Labs said. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ An_Indiana_Police_Department_Has_Been Using_Clearview_AI_For_A_Year,_Much_To_The_Surprise_Of Its_Oversight⠀⇛ Out of all the purveyors of facial recognition tech, Clearview is by far the sketchiest. It has compiled billions of photos and other personal info by doing little more than scraping the internet of anything that isn’t locked down. Web scraping isn’t inherently evil, but Clearview certainly makes scraping appear malicious. # ⚓ NYOB ☛ „Pay_or_Okay“_on_tech_news_site_heise.de illegal,_decides_German_DPA._Major_implications_for many_other_German_news_pages.⠀⇛ One of the largest German-language tech news sites, heise.de, made users choose between paying for a monthly subscription or having their personal data processed for advertising and many other purposes. The Data Protection Authority of Lower Saxony (LfD) decided that their “Pay or Okay” approach from 2021 was unlawful. This is yet another blow to news outlets that use such a model on their websites, after the Austrian Data Protection Authority (DSB) declared the implementation on an Austrian news page unlawful earlier this year. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Industry_Reactions_to_EU-US_Data Privacy_Framework:_Feedback_Friday⠀⇛ While many have applauded the new deal, privacy advocates are not pleased with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. European non-profit privacy organization Noyb said it plans on challenging the pact, arguing that the new framework is largely a copy of the failed Privacy Shield. Noyb co- founder and chair Max Schrems noted that the “latest deal is not based on material changes, but political interests”. # ⚓ Franz Dill ☛ Cracking_Down_on_Dissent,_Russia_Seeds_a Surveillance_Supply_Chain⠀⇛ Fascinating term: Supply Chain, used in this context # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ Legislators_Vote_Forward_Bill_That_Would Turn_Tech_Platforms_Into_DEA_Narcs⠀⇛ On Thursday, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee voted forward a bill that would force tech companies to report web users to the Drug Enforcement Agency if they suspected them of engaging in criminal drug activity. The controversial Cooper Davis Act, named so after a Kansas teenager who died of a fentanyl overdose in 2021, has rankled privacy advocates, who see the proposed legislation as a gateway to broad internet surveillance efforts by the federal government. Proponents of the bill say it would help crack down on illicit drug markets that have been proliferating on social media platforms. The committee, which had been debating the bill for weeks, voted to advance it 16-5. The proposed law now heads to the Senate floor, where it could soon be subject to a debate and a general vote. # ⚓ Computer World ☛ Apple_launches_Tap_to_Pay_on_iPhone for_UK_business⠀⇛ The system is iPhone simple. Once you sign up with a payment provider, you can set up your device to accept payments using that partner’s system. To take a payment, you use the NFC chip inside your iPhone to read contactless cards, including credit and debit cards and digital wallets, including Apple’s Wallet/Apple Pay. At checkout, the merchant will simply prompt the customer to hold their contactless payment solution near the vendor’s iPhone, and payment is made. No additional hardware is required. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ The_NSA_Is_It’s_Own_Worst_Enemy⠀⇛ While the government often likes to claim people like Edward Snowden and Julian Assange are the dangerous actors in revealing the inner workings of the U.S. security state, Bamford’s journalism exposes the irony in shifting the blame. Nefarious surveillance and military equipment has been co-opted by foreign governments by way of the NSA yet not much has been done about it. “[T]here’s all this effort to silence whistleblowers when there is no effort to really stop foreign countries from accessing the material that NSA has and then… use it against American citizens,” Bamford said. # ⚓ MIT Technology Review ☛ Transforming_business_begins with_IT⠀⇛ Khot describes the power of advanced data analytics to both improve a company’s understanding of its customers and to optimize its operations. The ability to combine internal company data with data collected from social media and at point of sale will enable savvy companies to recognize new patterns. These advanced analytics, he says, will go beyond answering standard questions about financials and historical performance to provide insight into more complex questions about customers’ thoughts and changing preferences. # ⚓ EFF ☛ Even_the_Government_Thinks_It_Should_Stop Buying_Corporate_Surveillance_Data⠀⇛ U.S. government intelligence agencies are buying data about us. The danger to our civil liberties is so extreme that even the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) said things have gone too far in a detailed report released in June. The report explains that federal intelligence agencies, like the NSA and FBI, do more than just conduct their own surveillance: they also buy data from private surveillance companies. This is a powerful partnership: the government’s desire to surveil us aligns well with corporations’ incentives in the surveillance economy. When intelligence agencies buy our data, they do not even follow basic constitutional safeguards—like obtaining warrants—since they say the purchased data is “publicly available.” In other words, since many data brokers will sell our personal data to anyone, intelligence agencies see no reason to treat that data as protected by the Fourth Amendment. But the report warns that when the government buys data about us, it threatens our privacy and civil liberties, something EFF has been saying for years. The government should not escape warrant requirements simply by paying private surveillance companies. As the report says, commercially available data, just like data the government collects itself, can be “misused to pry into private lives, ruin reputations, and cause emotional distress and threaten the safety of individuals.” This commercially available data “can disclose, for example, the detailed movements and associations of individuals and groups, revealing political, religious, travel, and speech activities.” o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ teleSUR ☛ Sudan_Conflict:_Neighboring_Countries_Meeting_in Cairo⠀⇛ Thursday’s meeting in Cairo comes weeks after the several failed attempts between Saudi Arabia and the United States in the meetings held in the Saudi city of Jeddah. Washington and Riad initiatives did not result in any agreement between both sides of the conflict to stop fighting and commit to cease- fire. # ⚓ ADF ☛ Wagner_Mutiny_Has_Lessons,_Implications_for_Africa⠀⇛ As the dust settles after the 36-hour rebellion by Yevgeny Prigozhin’s Wagner Group against Vladimir Putin, some observers see parallels to fighting in Sudan. Like Wagner, the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is a powerful paramilitary group that was funded and heavily armed by its government. # ⚓ ANF News ☛ TGS:_Without_good_journalism,_there_can_be_no democracy⠀⇛ A recent study by the Journalists Union of Turkey (TGS) highlights challenges faced by journalists in the country, including low wages, long working hours, mobbing and censorship. Supported by the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ), the study entitled “Journalism in Turkey: Perception and Profile” provides a deep insight into key findings about various aspects of the profession in the country. # ⚓ The Economist ☛ What_would_Europe_do_if_Trump_won?⠀⇛ Under President Joe Biden, America has provided the lion’s share of military aid to Ukraine and the leadership to muster the West’s response. If the war shows the value of American protection, Trumpian populism may prove how fast it can be lost. # ⚓ Salon ☛ Be_very_afraid:_Trump’s_“Agenda_47″_is_no_joke⠀⇛ But nothing about Agenda 47 is childish, innocent, or funny. Fascism in its various forms is a revolutionary project that draws inspiration from a fictive past and “golden age” in order to destroy the current order and replace with some type of ideal society based upon the authoritarian leader and the movement. Trump’s Agenda 47 fits that model almost perfectly. I asked Paul Mason, who is author of the book “How to Stop Fascism: History, Ideology, Resistance” for his thoughts about Trump’s Agenda 47 and the mainstream new media and political class’s failure to take it seriously. Via email he warned: [...] # ⚓ JURIST ☛ UK_parliamentary_report_says_China_poses_broad ‘security_threat’⠀⇛ The wide-reaching report details what the Committee, chaired by Conservative Party MP Sir Julian Murray Lewis, regards as China’s extensive interference with UK academia, politics, technology and industry. The report concludes that the UK’s current approach to what it describes as a “whole of state” assault by the Chinese government is “completely inadequate” and says that China has “taken advantage” of UK infrastructure. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Ex-Twitter_employees_owed_half_a_billion in_severance,_says_lawsuit⠀⇛ The lawsuit also claims that only a touch over 1,000 people are left working at Twitter 2.0, just as the billionaire is launching his new xAI biz with newly installed CEO Linda Yaccarino now running the show. The legal filing claims: “Upon information and belief, Twitter has terminated approximately 6,000 employees since Mr. Musk’s takeover, reducing the Company’s workforce from over 7,500 to around 1,300.” # ⚓ [Repeat] Digital Music News ☛ ByteDance_Is_Now_Allowing_US- Based_TikTok_Employees_to_Cash_Out_Shares_Pre-IPO⠀⇛ ByteDance initiated its stock buyback programs for its global employees in 2017, with the most recent round occurring in April 2023. The programs were not previously accessible to employees without fully vested stock. According to the same sources, ByteDance is planning another stock buyback program in Q3 2023. Employees own 20% of ByteDance, while founders own 20%, and global investors own the other 60%. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Solomon_Islands_says_China_police_pact not_a_‘threat’⠀⇛ Western powers have raised fears the deal could inflame regional tensions. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Australia_and_New_Zealand_urge_China to_reveal_details_of_Solomon_Islands_policing_deal⠀⇛ Australia and New Zealand have urged China to release the details of a new policing pact with Solomon Islands, saying Beijing’s latest push for influence threatens to inflame tensions in the South Pacific. # ⚓ RFA ☛ Kerry:_China_won’t_surrender_‘developing_country’ rights⠀⇛ US climate envoy says China won’t give up a status that lets it commit to less stringent emission reductions. # ⚓ Will_the_workplaces_be_closed_on_extreme_heat_days?⠀⇛ Worker’s Party of Turkey Chairperson Erkan Baş submitted a parliamentary question and asked if the workplaces will be closed in order to protect workers health and reduce their life-threatening risks. # § War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ LRT ☛ Lithuanian_energy_facilities_to_be_protected from_drones⠀⇛ Lithuania’s electricity and gas transmission system operators Litgrid and Amber Grid are planning to purchase systems capable of detecting and neutralising unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and install them at 19 energy facilities. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ “A_Historic_Mistake”:_Swedish_Peace Activist_Decries_Move_to_Join_NATO_&_Abandon Neutrality⠀⇛ Sweden may soon join NATO after over a year of negotiations with Turkey over its bid for accession to the transatlantic military alliance. Turkey’s right-wing President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan had staunchly opposed Sweden’s bid due to the country’s strong presence of Kurdish exiles, including members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, which Turkey considers a “terrorist” organization. Erdoğan attributed his unexpected change of heart to Turkey’s own bid to join the European Union, which has been stalled for years, suggesting he will open the doors to Sweden in NATO if Turkey is in turn granted entry to the EU. We hear from Swedish peace activist Kerstin Bergeå in Stockholm, who says the decision to join NATO has lacked sufficient public debate in the country and who calls the move “a historic mistake.” Bergeå is president of the 140-year-old Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society, one of the oldest peace groups in the world. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ On_eve_of_summit,_NATO_secures_big_win⠀⇛ Turkey is a valued member of NATO for its military strength and strategic location. But it’s often at odds with members. That came to a head in a dispute over Sweden. Monday brought a breakthrough. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Turkey_Agrees_to_Support_Sweden’s NATO_Bid⠀⇛ The move came after the Turkish president’s surprising new demand that the European Union should move forward with his country’s bid to join the bloc, one day before a high-profile summit. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ A_Third_Way?⠀⇛ Last season, when fires fiercely scorched northern Canada, who would have predicted that this year far more acreage would burn nationwide long before the fire season was faintly near an end, sending yet more carbon into the atmosphere to make future seasons even worse? Oh, and just recently, the planet experienced its hottest day ever, in all of human history — or at least during the last 125,000 years. But count on one thing: it won’t be the hottest day ever for long. (Oh, wait! The very next day, July 4th, proved in true patriotic fashion to be even hotter and the following day tied it for the record with, by the way, 57 million Americans under an extreme heat watch!) In the weeks to come, we may even pass the 1.5°C temperature limit set just eight years ago as part of the Paris climate agreement. And the saddest thing of all is that I could go on and on… and yes, on. # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ BBC_Under_Fire_for_Doing_Pesticide_Giant’s_PR⠀⇛ Sustainable farming advocates have criticised the content for favouring industrial agriculture, which is heavily dependent on chemical pesticides and fertilisers.

A recent study conducted by researchers from UC Santa Barbara and the University of Utah has shed light on the potential fate of these woodlands in the near future. By combining mathematical models with data collected by the U.S. Forest Service and plant physiologists, the study aimed to assess the vulnerability of forests to drought and their capacity to adapt to changing conditions. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ Why_large-scale_global_flooding_could_become new_normal⠀⇛ Many countries are experiencing deadly flooding this week and climate scientists say this is par for the course in a warming world.

It could grow to be one of the worst in the region’s history, breaking records for intensity and longevity and impacting some 50 million people in Florida, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Southern California and Nevada. Heat domes are a key part of heat waves and have become hotter and longer due to climate change, making heat the leading cause of weather- related death in the United States. Along the Southwest border, more than 100 migrants have already died from heat this year amid the Biden administration’s continued crackdown on asylum seekers. We hear from Laurie Cantillo, a board member and volunteer with Humane Borders, which works to maintain water stations for migrants crossing the Sonoran Desert and Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument along the Arizona-Mexico border, as well as Eddie Canales, director of the South Texas Human Rights Center, who condemns the U.S.’s policy of migrant deterrence as inhumane and ineffective and says that “migrant deaths will continue to happen until we have a policy [to receive] workers … [and] to deal with the lack of human rights in their home [countries].” # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Federal_backing_for_Rio_Tinto_refinery hydrogen_pilot⠀⇛ A major emitter, Rio Tinto’s alumina refinery in Queensland, has attracted federal support to switch gas use for renewable hydrogen. More than 17,000 workers in Australia’s emissions- intensive aluminium industry, which brings in around $14 billion in export revenue each year, are on the frontline of efforts to curb climate change by slashing greenhouse gas emissions. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ Meet_the_TV_Meteorologist_Who_Quit_After Facing_Death_Threats_for_Explaining_Climate_Crisis_on_Air⠀⇛ Chris Gloninger resigned from his position as chief meteorologist for KCCI-TV in Des Moines, Iowa, on Friday after receiving death threats as a direct result of reporting on climate change. One man behind the emails has pleaded guilty to harassment. We speak with Gloninger, now a senior climate scientist at the Woods Hole Group, about the difficulties scientists and journalists face when reporting on the climate crisis. “Meteorologists need to be doing this more, not less,” says Gloninger. # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ What_to_Do_with_Climate_Emotions⠀⇛ If the goal is to insure that the planet remains habitable, what is the right degree of panic, and how do you bear it? # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Xi_calls_for_a_shift_towards controlling_China’s_carbon_emissions⠀⇛ China will have to lower traditional energy’s share on the basis of reliable and safe renewables. # ⚓ Vice Media Group ☛ Surreal_Photos_of_People_Chilling_in Bomb_Shelters_to_Beat_the_Heat_In_China⠀⇛ Shelters built in the runup to World War II are being used to avoid the heat wave. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ Breach Media ☛ How_Quebec_won_the_world’s_first ban_on_oil_and_gas_extraction⠀⇛ The story of the social movement that won a massive climate victory has never been fully told (until now)… # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ US_Oil-Linked_Pressure_Group_Attacks EU_Green_Policies,_Breaks_Lobbying_Rules⠀⇛ Consumer Choice Center, a libertarian outfit, has advocated against green regulations in the EU without being registered as a lobbying group, DeSmog can reveal. The US-based organisation – which has links to a network of fossil fuel funded think tanks and advocacy groups – has opposed climate-friendly measures in Europe, such as the phase-out of petrol cars and green farming reforms, despite being removed from the lobby register over a year ago. # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Connecticut_bans_utilities_from billing_customers_for_lobbying_efforts⠀⇛ On June 29, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont signed a law to prohibit the state’s investor-owned utilities from charging customers for lobbying expenses and other efforts to sway political outcomes. The new law marks the third comprehensive effort by a state to prevent utilities from using consumers’ monthly bills to fund political efforts, following a similar law passed in Colorado in May and a law that Maine Governor Janet Mills signed in late June. # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Protesters_Accuse_Executives_at_‘Low- Carbon’_Gas_Conference_of_Telling_‘A_Dirty_Lie’⠀⇛ Executives from the world’s largest gas companies are meeting in British Columbia this week for a conference marketing Canada’s liquefied natural gas industry as providing “low-carbon” energy solutions to the world.   But dozens of climate protesters who showed up outside the Vancouver Convention Centre Tuesday morning delivered a much different message to the suit-wearing delegates of LNG2023, a global gathering of gas industry leaders held annually for more than 50 years.  # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ South_Korea’s_$1_trillion pension_fund_under_new_pressure_by_climate_groups over_coal⠀⇛ The National Pension Service holds stakes in companies with coal-linked investments including Korea Electric Power. # ⚓ Yahoo News ☛ Binance_lays_off_employees_days after_executive_exodus⠀⇛ Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has cut jobs just days after it was hit by a wave of executive exits, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday. The layoffs at the world’s biggest crypto exchange come at a time when the industry’s future in the U.S. market is uncertain, with regulators aggressively clamping down on what they deem are illegal activities. The job cuts were first reported by the Wall Street Journal, which said more than 1,000 people had been let go in recent weeks. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Bitcoin_crashes_over_reports_of Binance_laying_off_1,000_employees⠀⇛ San Francisco, Bitcoin prices nosedived on Saturday after leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance reportedly laid off roughly 1,000 workers, and the layoffs could continue. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Binance_lays_off_over_1,000 employees⠀⇛ More employees were laid off this week, according to former employees, who said customer-service workers were heavily affected. The cuts were global, including about three dozen customer- service employees in India, the report added. # ⚓ Forbes ☛ Everything_You_Need_To_Know_About Bitcoin_And_The_Environment⠀⇛ A report by JPMorgan highlights this stark reality: only bitcoin miners with access to cheap electricity and a high proportion of sustainable energy will likely survive in this progressively competitive space. As we hit an all- time high in mining difficulty, it’s clear that being a bitcoin miner is no easy task. # ⚓ [Old] Climate_Impacts_of_Bitcoin_Mining_in_the U.S.⠀⇛ We validate arguments from both sides and provide empirical evidence for the extent and energy sources of Bitcoin mining in the U.S., based on data from 13 publicly listed mining companies that account for one-fourth of the total network hashrate as of the end of 2022. Using the grid average emission factors, we find that the carbon intensity of electricity consumed by the 13 miners included in our analysis of 397 gCO2/kWh is nearly equivalent to the U.S. grid average of 387 gCO2/kWh. Furthermore, we find that the annual emissions of 7.2 MtCO2 caused by the 13 analyzed publicly listed miners in the U.S. alone surpass the carbon emissions of the State of Vermont. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Axios ☛ Chart:_Why_homeowners_weren’t_crushed_by_the_Fed’s rate-hiking_campaign⠀⇛ Data: FRED; Chart: Axios Visuals Most mortgage holders aren’t feeling the pain of higher interest rates.

In recent months it has rolled back labor rights, stripped environmental protections, gutted affirmative action, legalized discrimination on free speech grounds, and more. But it did not kill student loan relief, though the ultraconservative supermajority certainly tried. President Biden’s cancellation plan, which grants up to $20,000 of relief for borrowers making under $125,000 a year, still has a fighting chance. § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ * ⚓ NYPost ☛ John_Kerry_refuses_to_call_China’s_Xi_Jinping_a_‘dictator’⠀⇛ President Biden’s climate envoy John Kerry broke with the commander-in-chief on Thursday and refused to refer to Chinese President Xi Jinping as a “dictator” during a hearing on Capitol Hill. * ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Buying_Campaign_Contributions_as_a_Hack⠀⇛ It’s actually a pretty good idea.

On Friday, an appeals court temporarily paused the order. “The injunction doesn’t apply to state officials, so I’m going to keep talking to whoever the hell I want to talk to,” said Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat. “If you know somebody is out there lying and it hurts voters, they’re literally telling voters the wrong day or the wrong places to vote, literally giving them bad information on purpose, you should be able to shut that down because that’s interfering with the voter’s right to vote.” o ⚓ Reason ☛ Critics_of_the_Ruling_Against_Biden’s_Anti- ’Misinformation’_Crusade_See_No_Threat_to_Freedom_of_Speech⠀⇛ The response to the decision illustrates the alarming erosion of bipartisan support for the First Amendment. o ⚓ AntiWar ☛ Good_News_on_Free_Speech_–_for_Now⠀⇛ Occasionally, the news makes one cheer.

Legal scholars have said the broad nature of the injunction may make it difficult for the government to follow it.

Harvardand SFFA v. UNC, effectively eliminating the use of affirmative action in college admissions. The court’s decision disregards prior precedent, as well as the societal realities of race discrimination and inequality. Many schools, as well as the courts, recognize that diversity exposes students to new ideas and ways of thinking, prepares them to live and work with one another in a diverse society, and increases understanding and respect across differences. Those findings have not changed, although schools will need to rely more on other means of cultivating a campus where students of all backgrounds can learn together. While this legal decision is indisputably a major setback, it is not the end of the drive to open educational opportunities for people of color. As we press forward in this work, here are four answers to crucial questions in the wake of the affirmative action rulings: * ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ J4S:_Missouri_Court_Order_–_Free_Speech_Victory_or_Not Enough?⠀⇛ Check out this video on Rumble!

The Metropolitan police issued the statement Wednesday as the wife of Huw Edwards identified him as the presenter. Edwards wife, Vicky Flind, says in a statement that her husband is hospitalized while suffering from serious mental health issues. The U.K.’s publicly funded national broadcaster had not named Edwards, but said it had suspended a male star over allegations he gave a youth $45,000 starting in 2020 when the young person was 17.

That’s the way it works here in the United States, where the court system occasionally works like it should and the old “disagree with what you say but defend your right to say it” axiom is upheld by judges who frequently have to deal with speech probably only the speaker likes. * ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ We_Owe_the_French_Revolution_a_Debt_of_Gratitude⠀⇛ And yet the Jacobin clubs and newspapers survived the repression of Thermidor and kept alive the revolutionary spirit: of grassroots democracy, of commitment to social equality, of the zealous defense of revolutionary principles. This is what made it impossible for the reactionaries who ruled in the subsequent decades — both the liberals and the conservatives — to completely snuff out its achievements and reverse the course of history. And what were those achievements? Everything. Almost everything that makes public life in the modern world worth living was decisively advanced by the revolution that Bastille Day commemorates. From the creation of the first modern citizen army to replace the traditional brigades of monarchist mercenaries; to the imposition of popular juries where the “justice” of local oligarchs once held sway; to the first national abolition of slavery; to the abstract principle of popular sovereignty and the concrete practice of universal suffrage. * ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Actors_say_Hollywood_wants_to_use_AI_to_reproduce_their likenesses_forever⠀⇛ In another example of intelligence changing the nature of work, Hollywood actors brought up their own concerns about how studios intend to use the technology to use their likenesses in media forever without compensation. During a press conference Thursday, the actors said that they would be going on strike, Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland revealed that studios intended to implement what sounded like a dystopian science fiction use for this technology to scan background actors. * ⚓ New York Times ☛ Actors_Join_Writers_on_Picket_Lines_to_Fight_the Studio_Oligarchy⠀⇛ That timing, like the talks themselves, bespoke a stunning tone deafness on the part of the entertainment industry’s bosses. At the literal and figurative summit of American media capitalism, Disney made Iger the belle of the billionaires’ ball, touting his track record to such labor-soaking peers as WB Discovery’s David Zaslav, Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish, Netflix’s Ted Sarandos, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Apple’s Tim Cook, and Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, among others. Meanwhile, in the trenches of contract negotiation, things fell apart. As the AMPTP’s talks with the actors ground to a halt, the angry and apparently fractious producers sent out mixed messages. Some made a public play for a federal mediator, hoping this gambit would help them look like the reasonable party in the negotiations. But other members could not contain themselves. “The endgame is to allow things to drag on until union members start losing their apartments and losing their houses,” a studio executive told Deadline. Acknowledging the cold-as-ice approach, several other sources reiterated the statement. One insider called it “a cruel but necessary evil.” * ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Hollywood_actors_join_writers_on_picket_lines⠀⇛ AMPTP, which represents employers including Disney, Netflix, Amazon and others, said it had agreed to a “groundbreaking AI proposal” to mitigate these concerns by protecting performers’ digital likeness.

When it comes into effect at the end of July, it will shutter some 3,000 women-run salons in Kabul, which employ many thousands. The salons were one of the few places where women could openly work under Taliban rule. * ⚓ Hollywood Reporter ☛ Fran_Drescher_Q&A_On_SAG-AFTRA_Strike:_“The Digital_Age_Is_Cannibalizing_Us”⠀⇛ In an interview as the smoke began to clear on Thursday, union president Fran Drescher and chief negotiator and national executive director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland discussed how they came to this point, and the stakes involved. Not long after a SAG-AFTRA press conference, the two discussed with The Hollywood Reporter the issues that the union and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers agreed on during negotiations, the topics that divided them and why Drescher believes “the whole world is looking at us right now.” * ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ ‘We_Demand_Respect!’_Hollywood_Actors_Union_Joins_Writers With_Strike_Against_Studio_Titans⠀⇛ Nearly 98% of voters in the actors union supported a strike authorization in a vote in June, and weeks later, more than 1,000 luminaries including Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence, and John Leguizamo signed a letter saying they were “prepared to strike” to ensure that the vast majority of SAG-AFTRA members—who are not wealthy or famous and whose livelihoods depend on the union’s demands being met—get the compensation and job security they need to continue working in the industry. * ⚓ New York Times ☛ Hollywood_Actors_Strike:_TV_and_Movie_Actors_Vote_for Biggest_Walkout_in_Four_Decades⠀⇛ The leaders of SAG-AFTRA, the union representing 160,000 television and movie actors, announced the strike after negotiations with studios over a new contract collapsed, with streaming services and artificial intelligence at the center of the standoff. On Friday, the actors will join screenwriters, who walked off the job in May, on picket lines in New York, Los Angeles and the dozens of other American cities where scripted shows and movies are made. * ⚓ Truthdig ☛ SAG-AFTRA_Strike_Set_to_Upend_Entertainment_Industry⠀⇛ People familiar with the negotiations say the AMPTP has disregarded union demands concerning compensation, contributions to the union’s pension and health fund, residuals and safeguards against artificial intelligence. To illustrate the distance between the two sides, SAG-AFTRA’s national executive director and chief negotiator, Duncan Crabtree- Ireland, revealed AMPTP’s plans for AI at a press conference on Thursday. “They proposed that our background actors should be able to be scanned, get paid for one day’s pay and their company should own that scan, their image, their likeness and to be able to use it for the rest of eternity in any project they want with no consent and no compensation,” he said. § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ * ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Fox_News_Faces_Headaches_As_Cord_Cutting_Kills_Off_Its Artificially_Inflated_Subscriber_Totals⠀⇛ We just got done noting how there’s not much the federal government can do about right wing propaganda outlets like Fox News, given their protections under the First Amendment and the general limitations (both legally and courageously) at regulators like the FCC. * ⚓ uni Stanford ☛ Yes,_Telefonica,_Forcing_Apps_to_Pay_ISPs_Violates_Net Neutrality⠀⇛ Since Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton endorsed the proposal in May 2022, a broad group of stakeholders have warned that forcing websites to pay ISPs violates Europe’s net neutrality law. They include civil society organizations, consumer groups, members of the European Parliament, member states, academics (including me) and Europe’s top telecom regulator BEREC. But this week, Telefonica, one of Europe’s largest telecom companies, wrote a blog post seemingly intended to convince journalists and European officials that the proposal doesn’t violate net neutrality. The blog post is a marvelous specimen of deceitful lobbying. * ⚓ [Old] BEREC_response_to_the_European_Commission’s_Exploratory Consultation_on_the_future_of_the_electronic_communications_sector_and its_infrastructure:_Annex_to_complement_section_4_of_the_BEREC_response [PDF]⠀⇛ This annex provides additional information and clarifications related to the messages outlined in section 4 of BEREC’s Response to the Exploratory Consultation “The future of the electronic communications sector and its infrastructure”. This document follows the structure of section 4 of the BEREC response. BEREC is committed to continue the work on the issues raised in this consultation and has a number of relevant projects in its Work Programme 2023, including, a report on the IP- Interconnection (IP-IC) ecosystem1, which it will publish in 2024 after collecting relevant data. BEREC also looks forward to the EU Commission sharing the data it receives from this consultation, which will allow BEREC to carry out quantitative assessments that will facilitate a deeper understanding of the topics under discussion and, will use relevant data to substantiate its approach and explore any new options that may arise. In this document BEREC focuses mainly on the mechanism of mandatory financial contributions from CAPs to ISPs, in the form of a sending party network pays (SPNP) regime and looks into possible impacts that this may have. Moreover, BEREC’s analyses the topics mainly via an IP-IC approach, but notes that a more complete analysis could be performed regarding the entire internet ecosystem. § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ * ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Internet_Archive_Targets_Book_DRM_Removal_Tool_With DMCA_Takedown⠀⇛ The Internet Archive has taken the rather unusual step of sending a DMCA notice to protect the copyrights of book publishers and authors. The non-profit organization asked GitHub to remove a tool that can strip DRM from books in its library. The protective move is likely motivated by the ongoing legal troubles between the Archive and book publishers. § Monopolies⠀➾ * ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ Why_they’re_smearing_Lina_Khan⠀⇛ These talking points got picked up by people commenting on Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley’s ruling against the FTC in the Microsoft-Activision merger. The FTC was seeking an injunction against the merger, and Corley turned them down flat. The ruling was objectively very bad. Start with the fact that Corley’s son is a Microsoft employee who stands reap massive gains in his stock options if the merger goes through. [...] We shouldn’t have to tolerate this sleaze. And if we back Khan and her team, they’ll protect us from these scams. Don’t let them convince you to give up hope. This is the start of the fight, not the end. We’re trying to reverse 40 years’ worth of Reagonmics here. It won’t happen overnight. There will be setbacks. But keep your eyes on the prize – this is the most exciting moment for countering corporate power and giving it back to the people in my lifetime. We owe it to ourselves, our kids and our planet to fight one. * ⚓ IT Wire ☛ UK_regulator_to_consider_fresh_proposal_from_Microsoft_on Activision_deal⠀⇛ The UK regulator, the Competition and Markets Authority, has again changed its stance on Microsoft’s bid to acquire gaming giant Activision Blizzard following a decision by an American court against the US Federal Trade Commission’s bid to block the deal. In April, the CMA announced it was blocking the deal as it would change the cloud gaming market and lessen choice for gamers in the country. At that time, the regulator said Microsoft’s solution had “significant shortcomings” and would need oversight. * § Trademarks⠀➾ o ⚓ Vice Media Group ☛ Trader_Joe’s_Sues_Trader_Joe’s_United_for Copyright_[sic]_Infringement⠀⇛ Trader Joe’s filed a lawsuit against its union on Thursday for copyright infringement, claiming that the union’s merchandise was too similar to the Trader Joe’s logo, and demanding that the union’s profits off that merchandise be given to Trader Joe’s. * § Copyrights⠀➾ o ⚓ The Week ☛ Characters_in_the_public_domain,_explained⠀⇛ For quite some time, copyright laws have shielded many iconic and well-known characters. However, since 2019, some of those existing copyrights have been expiring, meaning that those characters entered the public domain, as their owners lost exclusive rights to their likeness. Now, creatives can attempt to reimagine the characters without fear of litigious reprisals. While many popular characters already exist in the public domain, there isn’t much precedent for the impending wave of copyright expirations of iconic 20th-century cartoons, superheroes and literary heroes. Most notably, Disney’s copyright over the original Mickey Mouse expires next year. Does that mean it will be a free-for-all for Disney’s most iconic character? o ⚓ Walled Culture ☛ The_copyright_industry’s_obsession_with_pursuing alleged_infringements_borders_on_the_pathological⠀⇛ As Walled Culture the book (free digital versions) details, for decades the copyright industry has lobbied consistently (and successfully) for more and harsher laws targeting alleged infringement. Against that background, it is hardly uprising that these laws are used on a massive scale every day. But some companies take this to extremes. Here, for example, is a story on Ars Technica from earlier this year: [...] ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 6889 ➮ Generation completed at 02:44, i.e. 95 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
