know why we get trolled so badly in IRC, mostly today and also this past week; Microsoft is in trouble (not that Microsoft-sponsored “media” will admit this; it resorts to mindless_spin) Minutes_ago: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Microsoft_Earnings_Have_Been_Hurt⦈_ This article hypes up the hyped-up_chatbot that has only caused further losses (no profit and a rapid_loss_of_interest). It has meanwhile been noted that Microsoft won’t even count many of the redundancies as layoffs because of temps and contractors: Never mind the H1B, MSFT (and others, like DELL) have been moving to the Contract Worker for ages now. What’s that? That’s when you get to hire someone with no HR support, no benefits, no commitment, dangle a carrot so they work long hours in hopes of FTE role, only to tell them over and over “we are working on it”, and never hire them, only to end the contract with short notice, whenever you want. All the while practicing EQUITY and INCLUSION.

Microsoft_Windows_Down_(Double-Digit_Fall),_According_to_Microsoft⠀✐ Posted in Deception, Finance, Microsoft, Windows at 4:14 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Microsoft’s shares fell (down sharply) after the results had been released (market close) 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Windows_down:_Microsoft’s_entire_fiscal_2023_hasn’t_been great_for_its_Windows_and_devices_revenue_compared_to_fiscal_2022._Windows_OEM revenue,_the_price_that_PC_manufacturers_pay_Microsoft_to_put_Windows_on laptops_and_PCs,_has_dropped_significantly_for_the_entire_fiscal_year,_or_four quarters_in_a_row._In_Q4,_that_means_Windows_OEM_revenue_fell_by_12_percent, which_Microsoft_says_was_“primarily_driven_by_the_PC_market.⦈_ Considering the high inflation rate, a 12% fall is more like a 20% fall (in terms of real value) Summary: Buried in highly misleading headlines with buzzwords and no actual substance is the above nugget_of_information. The common carrier is languishing. Windows is down significantly, according to a Microsoft asset in the media. Microsoft “results” are, as expected, fake. Just buzzwords like “HEY HI” (AI) and clown, but no actual substance. Reuters says “HEY HI boosts clown business”. What does that even mean? That chatbots now run the servers? Of course the MSM ‘reporting’ is done by Microsoft moles/assets like Jordan Novet. It’s like Microsoft reporting “the news” about itself. ⣿⣿⠛⠛⣿⣿⣿⡟⢛⡟⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⡇⣿⣶⢘⠂⣽⣬⢱⡃⣸⣴⠀⢤⡂⣰⣽⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠶⠾⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠟⣻⣛⡛⡛⠛⣛⣙⡛⣿⢛⣛⠛⣛⠛⣏⣻⠻⡛⢫⣟⢻⡟⠟⡛⡏⠛⠛⠛⢛⢻⢙⠟⠟⣛⣿⢛⡛⠛⠛⣟⣙⠛⣻⣛⠛⡏⠉⠉⠉⡉⡉⠉⠉⢹⠛⢛⢏⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⢶⣾⣶⣾⣶⣾⣶⣷⣷⣿⣶⣶⣶⣾⣾⣷⣶⣾⣶⣶⣷⣾⢾⣶⣶⡷⣶⣶⣶⡾⣾⣶⣷⣷⣶⣾⠶⠾⠶⠶⠿⠶⠶⠿⣶⣶⣧⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣼⣶⣶⣷⢾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣀⣤⣄⣔⣀⣸⣗⣅⣤⣤⣀⣖⣃⣿⣪⣲⣂⣀⣊⣐⣆⣔⣸⣠⣺⣒⣀⣐⣆⣀⣗⣠⣓⣙⣑⣻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣷⣣⣘⣣⣝⣇⣆⣎⣄⣒⣒⣀⣽⣖⣀⣄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⣻⡛⠻⣟⢙⠟⣛⣿⡛⡟⣟⠛⠛⢛⢻⣏⠛⢛⢛⣿⡛⣛⡛⣿⡻⠛⢛⡟⠟⡻⡛⡛⠛⠛⠛⣙⡟⢟⣟⣛⡟⢻⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⠉⡿⣻⡛⣿⠛⠛⠛⣛⡛⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣷⣷⢾⣾⣷⣶⣷⣿⣷⣿⣾⡷⣶⣶⣶⣷⣶⡶⣶⣾⣶⣾⣶⢷⣿⣾⣶⣾⢷⣶⡾⣶⣶⣶⢶⣶⣷⣷⣷⣿⣾⣶⡾⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣿⣾⣶⡷⣶⣶⣾⣾⣾⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⣓⣀⣸⣻⣖⣃⣘⣗⣀⣀⣸⣂⣰⣪⣀⣐⣅⣔⣇⣀⣀⣒⣛⣘⣗⣅⣓⣁⣳⣹⣒⣪⣰⣖⣀⣄⣇⣀⣲⣚⣢⣸⣺⣀⣕⣆⣛⣇⣄⣅⣒⣻⣢⣰⣗⣔⣔⣓⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣟⠛⠛⠛⡛⢛⣛⢻⣟⡛⡟⢻⡛⣛⠛⣻⢙⣻⣯⡽⠻⣿⡋⡻⢛⣻⡛⠛⡛⠛⣻⢻⠀⠀⢀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡟⡝⣭⠍⠏⣟⣛⠻⣛⣛⠛⠛⣻⣋⣫⣽⣝⡻⣻⣿⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣾⣿⡾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⣤⢤⣤⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣗⣄⣄⣖⣅⣒⣒⣻⣤⣄⣒⣕⣓⣛⣮⣀⣔⣲⣢⣨⣢⣰⣺⣸⣐⣥⣸⣤⣄⣁⣽⣆⣒⣆⣐⣚⣘⣒⣓⣹⣕⣒⣲⣱⣐⣚⣗⣌⣾⣂⣪⣸⣻⣞⣻⣐⣚⣐⣚⣰⣰⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 971 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.25.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Gemini_Links_25/07/2023:_A_Kids’_Wallpaper⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 7:19 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Technology_and_Free_Software * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ 3_Day_Weekend_–_Day_3⠀⇛ At 07:46 this morning it was 31c / 86f, with 72% humidity. By midday it was terribly hot and stuffy, and the TV news was full of heat warnings all around the region. I decided to go out later in the day because I thought it wouldn’t be so hot and I didn’t want to sit at home under the A/C all day long. # ⚓ Summer_fatigue⠀⇛ Last weekend my walk was interupted because I didn’t feel well, and Sunday I had planned on going back and continuing where I’d left off, but it was just too hot again. So I went downtown to a bookstore instead, to peruse the stacks and use someone else’s A/C for a while. # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_CEIOSTY_Wordo:_FOWLS⠀⇛ o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ A_nice,_quiet_place⠀⇛ Every evening this week I dove into more things *NIX, for example rsync. Put in a few scripts to push or pull data, rsync has made backups a real breeze. It’s interesting for me to look back to 2020 when I found the BSDs to be rather daunting and complex. Now I find them quite comfortable and have moved over full time. Nothing against Linux (which I use for jpilot, for example) but it seems be the New Hotness and I’ve never been one for crowds or the mainstream. The NetBSD scene conversely, strikes me as a real quiet one, and that’s just my style. # ⚓ Special_Containment_Procedures⠀⇛ Jools is to be fed 1/4 cup of cat food at regular intervals throughout the day. If she has been fed within the last two hours, she is not to be fed again. The contents of Jools’ litterbox are not anomalous in nature and may be disposed of, but should not be handled by researchers who are pregnant or suspect they may become pregnant. # ⚓ A_wallpaper_for_those_with_kids⠀⇛ Took some time to mess around with Inkscape last night. In my day job I use Figma, so I’m familiar with vector editing, but I’ve never given Inkscape a shot. I was very impressed, but there’s definitely a learning curve (much like GIMP). That said, it’s incredible how powerful and capable FOSS software is. I’ve been into simplistic wallpapers as of late, ever since I discovered simpledesktops.com, so I naturally tried to use Inkscape to create my own. I wanted something to represent my son, and here it is. Hope somebody out there enjoys it! In the version currently set as my desktop I have my son’s name under the image, but I removed it here. If you want to add a name, I recommend the Ysabeau Office font on Google Fonts. If your Desktop Environment doesn’t support SVG wallpapers, you’ll need to convert it (a simple “convert paccy_wallpaper.svg paccy_wallpaper.png” with Imagemagick will do the trick). =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Changes include a new shape-builder tool, a “document resources” dialog for the management of drawings, a new pattern editor, and more. # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 6_Best_Free_and_Open_Source_Graphical_Audio Grabbers⠀⇛ If you are not sure what the position is for the country you live in, please check your local copyright law to make sure that you are on the right side of the law before using the software featured in this two page article. To some extent, it may seem a bit of a chore to rip CDs. Streaming services like Spotify and Google Play Music offer access to a huge library of music in a convenient form, and without having to rip your CD collection. However, if you already have a large CD collection, it is still desirable to be able to convert your CDs to enjoy on mobile devices like smartphones, tablets, and portable MP3 players. Our recommendations are captured in the chart below. All are free and open source software. # ⚓ Qt ☛ FFmpeg_+_Android⠀⇛ Qt 6.5 released a new Multimedia backend using the FFmpeg library. That feature finally arrived at Qt for Android in Qt 6.5.2! But what does it mean for Qt for Android to have the new FFmpeg multimedia backend? What does it provide? This blog post will help to clear up these questions! A core functionality of the new multimedia backend is, of course, the playback of video files. Using FFmpeg multimedia backend adds three main advantages for the playback of video files… # ⚓ FOSSLinux ☛ Top_5_free_slideshow_makers_for_Fedora_Linux users ⠀⇛ Hello FOSSLinux readers! Today, we’ll delve into the realm of slideshow makers available for Fedora Linux. We’re not just talking about any slideshow makers, though; we’re talking about 100% free, fully open-source tools. And here’s a little spoiler: We’re not limiting ourselves to the usual graphical user interface (GUI) applications. Oh no, we’re also going to delve into the powerful world of command-line tools. So, buckle up and get ready for an exciting journey! o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Medium ☛ 🖱️_Navigating_in_Darkness:_Mastering_Mouse_on Linux_Black_Screen!_💻🌑⠀⇛ If you’re a Linux user, especially those familiar with Red Hat distributions, you may have encountered situations where you find yourself staring at a black screen with no visible graphical interface. Don’t panic! While a black screen can be intimidating, it’s usually not a cause for concern. In this blog, we’ll explore how to use the mouse effectively in a black screen environment in Red Hat Linux. # ⚓ How_to_Make_the_Switch_From_Windows_to_Linux_–_The_Tech Edvocate⠀⇛ Making the switch from Windows to Linux is a significant decision for many users, as it involves leaving behind familiar tools and adopting a new platform. However, with the potential benefits of improved performance, better security, and increased customization capabilities, it’s certainly worth considering. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of migrating from Windows to Linux and provide helpful tips for a smooth transition. # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ How_to_Fix_the_“Error_Splicing_File:_File_Too Large”_Error_in_Linux⠀⇛ “Error splicing file: file too large” is an extremely confusing error to encounter—especially if it happens when you’re moving a file to a drive that has more than enough space. Despite what you might expect, it doesn’t involve the amount of space available on your drive. Luckily, this frustrating error is easy to resolve. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Grab_Your_‘Scope’s_Screen_From_The_Command Line⠀⇛ Many of us have oscilloscopes and other instruments with built-in digital interfaces, but how many of us use them? [Andrej Radović] has a Tektronix TDS2022 which can print its screen to any of its various interfaces, and he set about automating the process of acquisition with a Bash script. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ Writing_Your_First_buildspec.yml_File⠀⇛ Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a highly popular suite of cloud services, and AWS CodeBuild is one of the essential tools in its arsenal. A key component in AWS CodeBuild projects is the buildspec.yml file, which provides a sequence of instructions necessary for building and testing your software. # ⚓ TecAdmin ☛ Writing_Your_First_appspec.yml_File⠀⇛ The appspec.yml file, a cornerstone of AWS CodeDeploy, is an essential element for deploying applications on AWS instances. Whether you’re an experienced AWS user or someone just starting out, understanding how to write your first appspec.yml file is vital to the deployment process. # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Proxmox_Series_#2:_Creating_a_Linux Virtual_Machine⠀⇛ In the first part of the Proxmox series, I showed you how to install the Proxmox hypervisor. In this chapter, I will give you an overview of how to use Proxmox, including creating and using virtual machines. # ⚓ Nicholas Tietz-Sokolsky ☛ Recovering_from_a_lost_disk:_how I_setup,_backup,_and_restore_dev_machines⠀⇛ Last Wednesday just before 3pm, I went pack up my laptop to get ready to drive 7 hours to visit my family in Ohio. Fedora had some updates to apply and when it went to come back on after those, I saw the words no one wants to see: Default Boot Device Missing or Boot Failed. Insert Recovery Media and Hit any key o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Morrowind_engine_replacement_OpenMW_v0.48 out_now_with_shaders⠀⇛ Bringing with it some pretty fancy new features, the Morrowind engine replacement OpenMW version 0.48.0 is out now. An exciting release for bringing some modern stuff to this RPG classic. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Airships:_Conquer_the_Skies_gets_a_DLC adding_in_captains_and_governors⠀⇛ Have you played Airships: Conquer the Skies? It’s a game about building fearsome airships and land vehicles to give you the edge in massive aerial battles. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Xenonauts_2_is_looking_good_on_desktop Linux_and_Steam_Deck⠀⇛ The invasion continues. Xenonauts 2 is now in Early Access from Goldhawk Interactive and Hooded Horse and I’ve taken a look to see how it runs on desktop Linux and Steam Deck. Note: key provided by the publisher. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Tencent_to_get_a_majority_stake_in_Dying Light_dev_Techland⠀⇛ Here’s a bit of industry news for you. Techland, developer of Dying Light, have announced some “exciting news” about the future of their studio. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Fanatical’s_Diamond_Collection_Brutal Edition_has_some_good_game_picks⠀⇛ Fanatical have released another bundle and it’s a good one for those of you who love action. The Diamond Collection Brutal Edition build your own bundle is here. Read on for desktop Linux and Steam Deck compatibility. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ DOOM_On_IPhone_OS,_On_Android⠀⇛ So you want to play some games from the early days of 32-bit iPhone OS that no longer run on recent OS versions? [Hikari-no-yume] wrote a sweet high-level emulator, touchHLE, to do so on modern iOS phones. But maybe you don’t have an iPhone? [Ciciplusplus] has your back. He ported the iPhone OS emulator, written in Rust, to Android, and then ported a version of DOOM that runs on iPhone OS to go with it. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Akademy_2023_is_over,_let’s_see_what_comes_next⠀⇛ In my previous blog post I mentioned Akademy wasn’t completely over for me, I still had to hold an online training_about_the_KDE_Stack even though I left Thessaloniki already. I had a few participants. Surprisingly some of them (but not all) were more experienced KDE developers than I expected. Since the training is more meant for people who want to get a feel on how to get around our stack I was a bit anxious they wouldn’t get bored… From the feedback I got immediately after the training it looks like it was well received even by the more experienced people. Apparently everybody learned quite a bit and had fun in the process. I’ll thus call it a success. # ⚓ Nate Graham ☛ Akademy_2023⠀⇛ As you may have seen from other posts on https://planet.kde.org, KDE’s annual Akademy conference is over and people are starting to blog about their thoughts on it! This is my fifth Akademy, and my third one attending in person. As always, it was great to meet up with colleagues and old friends in real life! A kind of magic happens when a bunch of technically adept people with strong social relationships gather together in a room. There was a lot of it on display this year, even despite the punishing heat and spotty Wi-Fi performance! # ⚓ Carl Schwan ☛ Akademy_2023⠀⇛ Last week, I went to Akademy, the yearly KDE conference, in Thessaloniki. This is now my third in-person Akademy and fifth Akademy in total. As always, this is the occasion to meet old and new friends, learn about what others are hacking on and enjoy good food. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § BSD⠀➾ # ⚓ Mailing list ARChives ☛ Re:_amd_microcode⠀⇛ Since AMD is too busy twiddling their fingers with the firmware solutions, we are setting DE_CFG bit 9 _on all the models that we think have the bug_. Two fixes for the same problem, if you get lucky. # ⚓ Undeadly ☛ Theo_de_Raadt_on_Zenbleed⠀⇛ The buzzword bug of the week is Zenbleed, which affects various AMD processors and is explained in more detail here. On OpenBSD, the latest -current snapshots already have the fixes, and errata patches will go out for the supported releases (7.2 and 7.3) shortly. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Fedora Magazine ☛ Get_ready_to_Flock_to_Fedora⠀⇛ Hello Fedora friends! In just about a week, we will kick off Flock to Fedora — our annual contributor conference. I hope you’re as excited as I am! For the last three years, we’ve run this as a virtual event — we stayed cozy at home with Nest. Now, we’re back to in-person, and I can’t wait to see so many of you again as we flock together to meet in Cork, Ireland. Flock is different from other conferences — it’s not a showcase or sales pitch, and it’s not a corporate event where we stand up for or root for the companies we work for or are fans of. Of course, we are grateful for our sponsors and our employers, but in Fedora in general — and especially at Flock! — that’s not what things are about. We come together in a positive spirit to collaborate and build. We’re a community of people, and friendship is a cornerstone value. Fedora is our community, and Flock is where we come together. This year, we’re combining forces with our friends at the CentOS Project: CentOS Connect will be co- located with Flock. CentOS is a different kind of project, but the same approach applies: this is about community. I know there are a lot of strong feelings around Red Hat and CentOS and rebuilds and downstreams lately. Fedora doesn’t control any of that, but it affects us — so, I’m sure we’ll talk about it. (We even have a session related to the topic.) As we talk, though, let’s all keep in mind the spirit of our projects: working together collaboratively to build a better world with free and open source software for everyone. o § Debian Family⠀➾ # ⚓ [Repeat] Daniel Pocock ☛ Italy_visa_&_residence_permit: Albanian_Outreachy,_Wikimedia_&_Debian_tighten_control_over woman⠀⇛ At the time of the Debian Bug Squashing Party (BSP) in early 2018, the Albanian woman told me she was learning Italian and she wanted to spend the summer working as a waitress in Italy. Some cousins were already there and she hoped to live closer to them. In subsequent conversations with this woman, she reminded me of her search for employment in Italy to qualify for a residence permit. Even after working there on a temporary permit in the holiday season, she really wanted to find an ongoing job to qualify for residence. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Debian_adds_RISC-V_as_an_official_architecture_ [LWN.net]⠀⇛ The Debian project is now supporting 64-bit RISC- V systems as an official architecture. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Why_do_you_also_need_confidential_computing_for your_private_datacenter?⠀⇛ As the adoption of confidential computing gains momentum, a question we often get asked is: why would I need confidential computing in my private data center? However, while it is true that confidential computing has often been associated with addressing security concerns in public cloud environments, its value proposition extends well beyond that. # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Why_and_how_to_use_Rust_on_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Rust has been the language most loved by developers for the last 8 years and it is seeing increased adoption by software companies of all sizes. However, its many high-level rules and abstractions create a steep initial learning curve which can leave the impression that Rust is the preserve of a select few but this couldn’t be any further from the truth. Let’s examine why Rust is often a great choice and take a look at how to get started with it on Ubuntu. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Stacey on IoT ☛ Podcast:_Why_Roku_wants_a_smart_home_OS⠀⇛ This week we learned a bit more about streaming provider Roku’s plans to build a smart home operating system. This is in addition to all of the new smart home devices the company has developed using Wyze hardware. Because Kevin Tofel is on vacation, o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Arduino ☛ UNO_R4_Stars:_Meet_Gustavo_Silveira⠀⇛ The launch of the Arduino UNO R4 marks a huge leap forward for our community. For us, it’s also the chance to celebrate the people who bring our ecosystem to life with their bright ideas, radiant enthusiasm, and shining insight. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Shoos_Away_Birds_Without Hurting_Them⠀⇛ DevMiser is using a Raspberry Pi to keep birds away without hurting them by waving a dowel rod back and forth when they’re detected. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Small_PoV_display_uses_CD_drive_motor_for_high- speed_rotation⠀⇛ An Arduino Nano board controls the LEDs, while an ESP8266 ESP-01 module tells it what image to show based on time and weather data pulled from the internet via Wi-Fi®. Those mount onto a custom circular PCB spun by a small CD drive motor. Because that PCB spins, it would have been difficult to run wires for power. So this takes advantage of wireless power transfer through coils on that primary PCB and a secondary PCB underneath that exists purely for that purpose. # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ Raspberry_Pi_Camera_Module:_More_on_video capture⠀⇛ We met libcamera-vid at the end of last month’s Camera Module tutorial, and found out how to record a short video clip. Like libcamera-still, libcamera-vid has many more options for controlling the resolution, frame rate, and other aspects of the video that we capture, and we’ll discover some of those in this tutorial. # ⚓ Purism ☛ Stay_Safe_from_BMC_Tampering⠀⇛ Through June and July, AMI MegaRAC BMC firmware has been in the news owing to high-severity vulnerabilities that have existed for years but only recently come to light.  Server hardware widely contains BMCs, and compromising one can give near-total control over the server.  Many vendors shipped this firmware with their own branding. But what exactly is a BMC, and what can we do to stay secure? # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Nail,_Meet_KiCad⠀⇛ You know the old saying. When all you have open is KiCad, everything looks like a PCB. That was certainly true for [Evan], who needed to replace a 2.5D small part recently and turned to PCBs to get the job done. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Retro_Gadgets:_The_Real_Desktop_Computer⠀⇛ People argue about the first use of the computer desktop metaphor. Apple claims it. Xerox probably started it. Yet, when I think of computer desktops, I think of the NOVAL 760. Not a household name, to be sure, but a big ad spread in a June 1977 Byte magazine was proud to introduce it. At $2995, we doubt many were sold, but the selling point was… well… it was built into a “handsome wood desk, designed to compliment any decor.” The desk folded down when you were not using the computer, and the keyboard recessed into a drawer. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Android_Smartphones_To_Gain_“SMS_Via_Satellite”_Feature: Which_Brands_Will_Be_The_First_To_Receive?_–_Gizbot_News⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Central ☛ Sony’s_PS5_handheld_sure_looks_like_an Android_tablet_with_DualSense_attachments_|_Android_Central⠀⇛ # ⚓ Giz China ☛ Tricks_to_free_up_space_on_your_Android smartphone_–_Gizchina.com⠀⇛ # ⚓ PC Mag ☛ Decade-Old_Android_KitKat_OS_Shipped_Off_to_Google Graveyard_|_PCMag⠀⇛ # ⚓ XDA ☛ Google_is_ending_support_for_Android_4.4_KitKat⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Authority ☛ Android_KitKat_reaches_end_as_Google Play_services_discontinues_support⠀⇛ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ Google_Play_services_ending_support_for Android_4.4_KitKat⠀⇛ # ⚓ Android Authority ☛ The_best_cheap_Android_tablet_gets_a 26%_price_cut_–_Android_Authority⠀⇛ # ⚓ 9to5Google ☛ [Fixed]_Android_apps_continuously_crashing_for some_Pixel_owners⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ # ⚓ [Old] The_Original_Sin_of_Free_Software⠀⇛ Because of Stallman’s original sin, there is no accepted structure within the FOSS world wherein such obligation to share changes can be enforced by the originator of a piece of software. The DSG, in fact, specifically requires this as a precondition for inclusion in its repositories. This means that improvements in software, bug- fixes, security-patches and the like, remain the absolute property of the person who has made them, despite the fact that they are, in Newton’s words, “standing on the shoulders” of those who came before. The originator of the software, in other words, is someone who can count herself lucky to be afforded the “exposure” which may come from the future sale of her works by a more powerful entity. The entire function of FOSS is for developers to provide the fruits of their labour, either without recompense or for fractional recompense, to others. The individual programmer has the rights afforded them by the 4Fs and the OSD, but those rights are inherently solitary. What possibility can there be to enforce those rights, limited as they may be, against the powerhouses of our gilded age? What economic rights accrue to our developers, the people who, in Stallman’s conception, are the origin point of the FOSS movement? # ⚓ MWL ☛ Enterprise_Ebook_Licensing⠀⇛ I deferred implementing this for years, despite the occasional request. Then I saw Julia Evans’ income graphs, where enterprise licensing is a big chunk of her income. Somewhat amusingly, my annual income reports inspired her to post this. Be generous with information about how you run your creative business, people will build on it and you can stealborrow their improvements. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Warner Losh ☛ Some_Hints_For_Splitting_Commits⠀⇛ Sometimes in a code review, the commentators suggest that commits be broken up into smaller pieces. Here are a few of the collected tricks I have learned over the years. They are presented as ‘editing the current tip of the tree’ for simplicity. However, you can apply them to rebasing as well using the ‘edit’ action. The last section offers a strategy when you need to recombine the commits. # ⚓ 37signals LLC ☛ Clear_the_barnacles⠀⇛ The hardest part about this is not to wait until it’s too much, until the drag is actually there. Keep your mind below carrying capacity, such that there’s room for serendipity, at all times. # ⚓ Earthly ☛ Rust_Lifetimes:_A_Complete_Guide_to_Ownership_and Borrowing⠀⇛ Rust is a programming language that uses ownership and borrowing to address memory management issues while prioritizing both performance and memory safety. The approach is based on the concept of lifetimes, where the lifetime system tracks the lifespan of every value, ensuring that references do not outlive their intended lifetime and preventing issues, such as dangling pointers/ references and memory leaks. Unfortunately, Rust’s lifetimes can be difficult to understand, but they’re essential to Rust’s design, and they enable you to write secure and high- performing code while avoiding common memory- related problems found in other languages. In this article, you’ll learn all about lifetimes and the concepts of ownership, borrowing, and resource management in Rust. # ⚓ Ted Unangst ☛ dodging_the_go_loop_trap⠀⇛ One of the traps in go is the reuse of loop variables, confounding novices and even catching the unwary expert. It’s so bad they may even change the language to fix it. It’s never much bothered me, personally or particularly, but it did recently bite me, and I reflected on why that may be. Because I avoid a particular idiom that’s common to many instances of the bug. # ⚓ Collabora ☛ A_weekend_for_developers⠀⇛ With Black Valley in Norway, and Akademy in Greece, this weekend’s plans are all set or computer enthusiasts! Collabora is proud to sponsor both of these events as a chance for communities to come together and strengthen their bonds. o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ APNIC ☛ The_joy_of_TXT⠀⇛ Guest Post: How are DNS TXT records really used? * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ David Revoy ☛ I’ve_decided_to_give_up_on_my_blog’s_commenting system⠀⇛ I have had this blog for almost 20 years, long before social media like Youtube, Facebook and Twitter existed. For a long time, my comment system was the only way I could get feedback on what I was painting and writing. And over the years you have posted 13,007 messages on 978 posts on my blog. Thank you very much! Unfortunately, the amount of spam, attacks and hateful comments has also increased. For years I protected the humble commenting system of my PluXML blog system with honeypots, home-made captchas and services like Akismet. I also spent a lot of time moderating, but it started to ruin the little time I had offline during holidays, conferences and book signings. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ How_Duck_Tape_Became_Famous⠀⇛ If you hack things in the real world, you probably have one or more rolls of duck tape. Outside of the cute brand name, many people think that duck tape is a malapropism, but in truth it is the type of cloth traditionally used in our favorite tape: cotton duck. However, as we’ll see, it’s not entirely wrong to call it duct tape either. Whatever you call it, a cloth material has an adhesive backing and is coated with something like polyethylene. o ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Driver_indicted_for_killing_S’porean_flight attendant_in_drink_driving_accident_in_Taiwan⠀⇛ The United Airlines flight attendant, whose name was given only as Anuar, was in his 30s to 40s. o ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ 11_dead_after_school_gym_roof_collapses_in northeastern_China⠀⇛ Eleven people died after the roof of a school gym collapsed in northeastern China, state media reported Monday. The collapse in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang Province was caused by construction workers illegally placing perlite — a form of volcanic glass — on the building’s roof, state news agency Xinhua said. o ⚓ New York Times ☛ China_Gym_Roof_Collapse_Claims_at_Least_11 Lives⠀⇛ A building contractor improperly stored material on the gym’s roof, official media reported.

The size and layout of the keyboard is the first thing to figure out, and then switches, keycaps, and then a bunch of other customizations inside the keyboard like the mounting plate and whether or not to add foam strips and other sound- and vibration-deadening features. Of course some prefer to go the other direction with it as well, omitting the foam and installing keys with a more noticeable click, and still others go even further than that by building a separate machine to make their keyboard activity as disruptive as it could possibly be. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Asus_agrees_to_keep_Intel’s_NUC_mini-PC brand_alive⠀⇛ Taiwanese laptop computer maker ASUSTek Computer Inc. has agreed to take up the mantle of Intel Corp.’s Next Unit of Compute systems, signing an agreement with the chipmaker to design, manufacture, sell and support future generations of the product. # ⚓ Science Alert ☛ A_New_Kind_of_Quantum_Computer_Could_Be Built_on_The_Strange_Physics_of_Sound_Waves⠀⇛ Here’s the pitch. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ After_Exit,_Intel_Passes_NUC_Baton_to_Asus via_New_License_Agreement⠀⇛ Asus will take Intel NUC systems forward. # ⚓ Vice Media Group ☛ 2,200_Forgotten_Vintage_Computers_Are Being_Liberated_From_a_Barn_in_Massachusetts⠀⇛ The NABU Network was an obscure, forgotten part of Canadian tech history—until the day the internet noticed that thousands of NABU machines were being sold on eBay at rock-bottom prices. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ 2023_Hackaday_Prize:_A_Smart_Powermeter_That_You Actually_Want⠀⇛ [Jon] wanted to keep track of his home power use, but didn’t want to have to push his data up to some cloud service that’s just going to leave him high and dry in the future. So he went completely DIY. # ⚓ Mailing list ARChives ☛ Zenbleed⠀⇛ OpenBSD does not use the AVX instructions to the same extent that Linux and Microsoft do, so this is not as important. On Linux, glibc has AVX-based optimizations for simple functions (string and memory copies) which will store secrets into the register file which can be extracted trivially, so the impact on glibc- based systems is HUGE. # ⚓ Tom’s Hardware ☛ AMD_‘Zenbleed’_Bug_Leaks_Data_From_Ryzen, EPYC_CPUs:_Most_Patches_Coming_Q4_(Updated)⠀⇛ Tavis Ormandy, a researcher with Google Information Security, posted today about a new vulnerability he independently found in AMD’s Zen 2 processors. The ‘Zenbleed’ vulnerability spans the entire Zen 2 product stack, including AMD’s EPYC data center processors and the Ryzen 3000/4000/5000 CPUs, allowing the theft of protected information from the CPU, such as encryption keys and user logins. The attack does not require physical access to the computer or server and can even be executed via javascript on a webpage. # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ MSI_officially_launches_new_line_of_compact Mini_PC_Series⠀⇛ MSI has recently launched its Mini PC line-up, catering to a diverse range of industries such as SMBs, medical facilities, kiosks, and various commercial settings.

For those looking to start a collection without breaking the bank, you may need to accept some specimens that have seen better days. # ⚓ Yahoo News ☛ Germany_earmarks_20_billion_euros_in_subsidies for_chip_industry⠀⇛ Germany plans to invest around 20 billion euros ($22.15 billion) in the semiconductor industry in the coming years, the economy ministry said on Tuesday, amid growing alarm over supply chain fragility and dependence on South Korea and Taiwan for chips. The country was able to attract global chipmakers to set up factories by offering subsidies under the EU Chips Act that aims to double the bloc’s share of global chip output to 20% by 2030. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Japan_must_abandon_its_reckless proposal_to_discharge_Fukushima_waste_water_into_the_ocean⠀⇛ Japan’s plan to discharge over a million tonnes of treated radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific is hazardous and irresponsible, and could have serious repercussions on the environment, human health, the regional economy, and diplomatic relations. # ⚓ TwinCities Pioneer Press ☛ Minneapolis_backs_off_arrests for_psychedelic_plant_use⠀⇛ Mayor Jacob Frey on Friday ordered police to stop using taxpayer dollars to enforce most laws against hallucinogenic plants. # ⚓ [Old] Titanium_dioxide:_E171_no_longer_considered_safe_when used_as_a_food_additive⠀⇛ Prof Maged Younes, Chair of EFSA’s expert Panel on Food Additives and Flavourings (FAF), said: “Taking into account all available scientific studies and data, the Panel concluded that titanium dioxide can no longer be considered safe as a food additive . A critical element in reaching this conclusion is that we could not exclude genotoxicity concerns after consumption of titanium dioxide particles. After oral ingestion, the absorption of titanium dioxide particles is low, however they can accumulate in the body”. # ⚓ [Old] European_Union:_Titanium_Dioxide_Banned_as_a_Food Additive_in_the_EU⠀⇛ The European Commission is banning titanium dioxide (E171) as a food additive in the EU, starting with a six-month phasing out period as of February 7, 2022, until August 7, 2022, after which a full ban applies. Following the publication of Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/63 in the EU’s Official Journal (OJ) on January 18, 2022, Annex II and III to Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 on food additives will be amended accordingly. The Regulation also includes a commitment to review the necessity to maintain or delete titanium dioxide (E171) from the EU list of food additives for exclusive use as a color in medicinal products. On November 30, 2021, the Commission had already published Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2090 in the OJ, denying the authorization of titanium dioxide (E171) as a feed additive for all animal species. # ⚓ COVID-19_as_an_“ethnically_targeted”_bioweapon:_RFK_Jr. embraces_antisemitism_and_racism⠀⇛ By any measure one might like to use, the last couple of weeks have not been good for longtime antivax activist turned Democratic Presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. It should be no surprise to anyone familiar with RFK Jr. just how far into the bonkers conspiracy theories he went. (At least, other than timing, it wasn’t a surprise to me, given that I’ve covered his antivaccine pseudoscience and conspiracy theories since 2005.) In brief, a funny story about a fart-filled argument at an RFK Jr. press event a couple of weeks ago quickly turned dark, with reports the weekend before last relating how RFK Jr. had echoed an antisemitic and racist conspiracy theory about how COVID-19 might have been “ethnically targeted”at Caucasians and Blacks, while sparing Ashkenazi Jews and the Chinese, in brief a bioweapon. Amazingly, the wingnuts running the House of Representatives Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, to which RFK Jr. had been invited to testify before the kerfuffle over his racist and antisemitic conspiracy mongering hit the news, did not disinvite him, leading to quite the spectacle in which he repeatedly denied saying what he is on videotape in the New York Post as having said and once again denied being antivax. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Who’s_been_smoking_what?⠀⇛ When the ABC broke the story in March that the Legalise Cannabis Party had made it onto the list of approved organisations where JobSeeker recipients could volunteer to meet their JobSeeker mutual obligations, Rex Patrick thought he’d use FOI to get to the bottom of it. The FOI results have left him wondering, who’s been smoking what? What sneaky tricks were used by the Legalise Cannabis NSW Party to get past the guardians at Centrelink and have their organisation listed as an approved organisation for JobSeeker volunteers? # ⚓ Jon Udell ☛ Is_there_an_early_warning_system_for_RSI?⠀⇛ My RSI (repetitive strain injury) struggles began 25 years ago, after an intensive push to build and ship the BYTE magazine website.

And with great fanfare, the Environmental Protection Agency went on to ban the use of the chemical on food. “Ending the use of chlorpyrifos on food will help to ensure children, farmworkers, and all people are protected from the potentially dangerous consequences of this pesticide,” the head of the EPA, Michael Regan, said in his announcement of the decision in August 2021. “EPA will follow the science and put health and safety first.” o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Using_the_“right”_social_networks⠀⇛ One thing it didn’t achieve?

Your car’s digital infrastructure is a costly, dangerous nightmare – but for automakers in pursuit of postcapitalist utopia, it’s a dream they can’t give up on. Your car is stuffed full of microchips, a fact the world came to appreciate after the pandemic struck and auto production ground to a halt due to chip shortages. Of course, that wasn’t the whole story: when the pandemic started, the automakers panicked and canceled their chip orders, only to immediately regret that decision and place new orders. # ⚓ The Hill ☛ Microsoft_hack_exposing_government_emails_could have_accessed_other_types_of_files:_researchers⠀⇛ “The full impact of this incident is much larger than we initially understood it to be. We believe this event will have long lasting implications on our trust of the cloud and the core components that support it, above all, the identity layer which is the basic fabric of everything we do in cloud.” Tamari said. “At this stage, it is hard to determine the full extent of the incident as there were millions of applications that were potentially vulnerable, both Microsoft apps and customer apps, and the majority of them lack the sufficient logs to determine if they were compromised or not,” he added. # ⚓ Bleeping Computer ☛ Lazarus_hackers_hijack_Microsoft_IIS servers_to_spread_malware⠀⇛ # ⚓ Bleeping Computer ☛ Microsoft_Sharepoint_outage_caused_by use_of_wrong_TLS_certificate⠀⇛ # § Windows TCO⠀➾ # ⚓ Ministries_hit_by_cyber-attacks [Ed: Microsoft TCO for sure]⠀⇛ The Norwegian Government Security and Service Organisation (DSS) has detected a cyber- attack on the ICT platform used by 12 ministries. The matter is currently being investigated by the police. “We are taking this incident very seriously. The Norwegian Government Security and Service Organisation (DSS) is cooperating closely with the National Security Authority (NSM) and the police. They have implemented a number of measures in response to the attack, and we are following the situation very closely,” says Minister of Local Government and Regional Development Sigbjørn Gjelsvik.

(Wayback Machine link as the original site is overloaded.) It can allow local attackers to recover data used in string operations; “”If you remove the first word from the string ‘hello world’, what should the result be? This is the story of how we discovered that the answer could be your root password!”” The report has lots of details, including an exploit; AMD has released a microcode update to address the problem. # ⚓ LWN ☛ Stable_kernels_to_address_Zenbleed_released⠀⇛ Greg Kroah-Hartman has released six new stable kernels to address the Zenbleed vulnerability for AMD processors: 6.4.6, 6.1.41, 5.15.122, 5.10.187, 5.4.250, and 4.19.289. # ⚓ Bloomberg ☛ Company_Bought_by_Experian_Needn’t_Report_Pre- Sale_Data_Breach⠀⇛ Court Ventures Inc. properly beat a suit alleging it failed to notify victims of a security breach that it became aware of only after its sale to Experian Data Corp., a California appellate court ruled. Former owners of computerized data containing personal information aren’t required to provide notice of a breach under the California Consumer Records Act, Justice Thomas A. Delaney of the California Court of Appeals said Friday. # ⚓ Information Security Media Group, Corporation ☛ Law_Firm Hack_Affects_Victims_of_an_Earlier_Breach_Again⠀⇛ A global law firm is notifying nearly 153,000 individuals of a hacking incident that compromised several client files. The files contained sensitive personal information and affects vision care patients who had been victims of a breach three years ago. Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe on July 20 reported the data breach to several state regulators, including the attorneys general of Maine and California, as well as a HIPAA breach to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ Umbreon_Unplugged:_Unraveling_the_Sequel_to Failures⠀⇛ On June 23, DataBreaches published the first of a series of interviews with Pepijn Van der Stap, aka “Umbreon.” Van der Stap, 21, was arrested in January and remains in detention, awaiting trial on charges that include hacking, data exfiltration, extortion, sale of stolen data, and money laundering. # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ More_plastic_surgery_patients_have_their nude_photos_and_information_leaked⠀⇛ An unknown party or parties who created a leak site with nude photos and medical records of a well- known plastic surgeon’s patients have uploaded more of his patients’ photos and records. In what was their third update to the leak site since June 5, those responsible wrote that they have changed their strategy. Before publishing any more of Dr. Gary Motykie’s patients’ data, the patients will reportedly be given a chance to pay $2500 to get their data deleted and not made public. They also note that the price for closing the website and deleting all data is $800 000, which they claim is “4-5 months of Gary’s clinic work.” In an email to DataBreaches, they claim that they did not — and do not — lock target’s systems. The price is for deleting data that they exfiltrated. # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ Pointed_to_a_phishing_campaign_targeting the_healthcare_sector,_Microsoft_leaps_into_action_to_…_not even_investigate?!⠀⇛ Within minutes, we received an email receipt from Microsoft. Less than 1 minute later, we received an email that the case had been closed because they couldn’t validate it so no action was taken. Seriously, Microsoft? Did anyone actually READ the report I submitted, or did you just have some AI determination that what I filled in for time of incident or something could not be verified? Are you seriously interested in stopping abuse, Microsoft? If so, why didn’t you provide a phone number to call or a way to reach back out to make sure that you looked at the report and took action or directed it to the proper recipient? DataBreaches also sent an email to an FBI agent and someone at HHS who are both involved in cybercrime issues to alert them to the situation. Maybe they’ll have better luck with Microsoft getting the blob taken down and the blob owner confirmed and investigated. If anyone has a contact at Microsoft, the case number was SIR15482152. MSFT can call me at the phone number provided or the one listed on this website if they need additional details to what I provided in the notes or narrative with the URL. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Bill_Limiting_Data_Broker_Sales_To_Law Enforcement_Moves_Forward⠀⇛ The Supreme Court made it clear in 2018 with its Carpenter decision: gathering historical cell site location info in bulk was impermissible under the Fourth Amendment. If law enforcement wanted to engage in third- party-enabled long term tracking of suspects via this info, it needed to get a warrant first. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ More_Suicide_Resource_Orgs_Found_To_Be Monetizing_Sensitive_User_Data⠀⇛ Last February, a report in Politico found that Crisis Text Line, one of the nation’s largest nonprofit support options for the suicidal, had been monetizing user data. More specifically, the nonprofit was collecting all sorts of data on “customer interactions” (ranging from the frequency certain words are used, to the type of distress users are experiencing), then sharing that data with their for profit partner. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ Singapore-Indonesia_QR_payment link_to_be_ready_by_end-2023:_Bank_Indonesia⠀⇛ The authorities from both sides are working towards a year-end launch in Singapore and Indonesia. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ Does_Sam_Altman_Know_What_He’s Creating?⠀⇛ In 2020, OpenAI provided funding to UBI Charitable, a nonprofit that supports cash- payment pilot programs, untethered to employment, in cities across America—the largest universal-basic-income experiment in the world, Altman told me. In 2021, he unveiled Worldcoin, a for-profit project that aims to securely distribute payments—like Venmo or PayPal, but with an eye toward the technological future—first through creating a global ID by scanning everyone’s iris with a five-pound silver sphere called the Orb. It seemed to me like a bet that we’re heading toward a world where AI has made it all but impossible to verify people’s identity and much of the population requires regular UBI payments to survive. Altman more or less granted that to be true, but said that Worldcoin is not just for UBI. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Sam_Altman’s_biometrics-based_cryptocurrency Worldcoin_is_now_live⠀⇛ Worldcoin is unique among cryptocurrencies for using a proof of personhood (also known as PoP) credential issued by a custom biometric imaging device called the Orb. The device features a wide angle camera and a telephoto camera that capture a high resolution image of the human iris, and process it into a unique digital identifier. The cryptocurrency has been under testing in countries such as Chile, Norway, Indonesia, Kenya, Sudan, and Ghana for the past three years. By the end of the year, Worldcoin expects to make 1,500 orbs available in 35 cities across 20 countries to continue onboarding new users for free. Worldcoin has recorded over 2 million registrations since it started doing beta tests, with 40,000 individuals signing up for a verified World ID every week. # ⚓ Zimbabwe ☛ Instagram_and_Messenger’s_new_parental controls_allow_parents_to_see_how_their_kids_use_the apps⠀⇛ We have talked about this a lot. The smartphone presents a very useful tool for the child still in school but at the same time a potent time-wasting tool. You know that kids need smartphones and you know that they have to be on social media. You can fight this but it’s a losing battle. # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ Worldcoin,_Sam_Altman’s_Creepy_Vision_for Iris-Scanning_‘Global_Digital_Currency’,_Begins Rollout⠀⇛ On Monday, Worldcoin announced it has officially begun rolling out its “World ID” decentralized identity protocol and its “WLD” cryptocurrency tokens. In the 35 cities where Worldcoin is available, users can submit their iris scan to a local “orb” device and receive a share of WLD “simply for being human.” The company has reportedly already verified two million volunteers’ World ID’s at orbs across 30 different countries since the company was founded in 2019, though many in developing countries have complained they never actually received any currency in exchange for forking over their eyeprints. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ JURIST ☛ Brazil_president_signs_order_tightening_civilian access_to_firearms⠀⇛ Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva announced that he signed an executive order on Friday tightening gun laws, stating that only the police and army should be well-armed.

Robert Oppenheimer — the “father of the atomic bomb” — focuses on Oppenheimer’s conflicted feelings about the weapons of mass destruction he helped unleash on the world, and how officials ignored those concerns after World War II as the Cold War started an arms race. Journalist Greg Mitchell says that while the film is well made and worth seeing, “the omissions are quite serious.” He says there is little mention of the dangers of radiation and no focus on the impact of the bomb on its victims in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The film also does not question the necessity of using the bomb in the first place, upholding the “official narrative … that has held sway since 1945,” says Mitchell. Mitchell is a documentary filmmaker and the author of numerous books, including The Beginning or the End: How Hollywood — and America — Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. He was editor of Nuclear Times magazine from 1982 to 1986 and has written about this new film for Mother Jones and on his Substack, and in an opinion piece for the Los Angeles Times headlined “’Oppenheimer’ is here.

London and the south-east are also the driest parts of the country. # ⚓ Lusaka ZM ☛ Eastern_Water_Losing_Half_Of_Its_Water⠀⇛ Eastern Water and Sanitation Company is grappling with a major challenge as it loses nearly half of the water it generates before reaching its intended customers.

But that plan has major issues. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Why_Title_Lenders_Are_Excluded_From_Chapter 13_Proceedings_in_Georgia⠀⇛ Christina Cooper remembers it was a muggy summer night when she came to terms with a painful reality. Bill collectors were after her for medical bills, and she owed several thousand dollars on her furniture. Weighing most heavily, though, was the $2,700 debt to Savannah, Georgia-based TitleMax, the nation’s largest title lender, which lends money at triple-digit annual interest rates in exchange for a customer’s car title. In Georgia, these “title pawns,” as they are known, are allowed to carry much higher interest rates than traditional loans, and defaulting on them means the company can repossess the car, a vital lifeline for rural families like Cooper’s. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ How_We_Measured_the_Title_Lending_Industry_in Georgia⠀⇛ When The Current and ProPublica began investigating the title lending industry in Georgia, we faced a daunting question: How do we measure an industry that nobody is tracking? Title lenders provide quick cash in exchange for a car title as collateral. Many consumer advocates see the practice as predatory — title pawns, as they are known in Georgia, typically carry high interest rates, and borrowers can lose their car if they default. More than 30 states ban high-interest title lending entirely, but the industry is widespread in Georgia. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Inquiry_calls_for_shake-up_of insolvency_laws⠀⇛ Australia’s corporate insolvency system is too complex, hard to access and unnecessarily costly and needs a major overhaul.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which pays for most of American hospice care, announced that this change was spurred by “numerous reports of hospice fraud, waste, and abuse” and “serious concerns about market oversaturation.” In November, ProPublica and The New Yorker highlighted that the four states were overrun with for-profit hospices, many of them sharing the same addresses and owners. Some of these hospices obtained licenses only to sell them to other entrepreneurs. Others appeared to be billing Medicare for “phantom” — that is, nonexistent — patients. Some did both. The government’s own data revealed a pattern of rapid hospice growth in the four states, far outstripping the demand for services. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ While_the_Planet_Burns:_Billionaires_Are_Busy Hunkering_Down_for_the_Apocalypse⠀⇛ Dr. Strangelove’s big mistake was going into government work when he could have made much more money in the private sector doing the same job of making the apocalypse palatable. Strangelove—the eponymous antihero of Stanley Kubrick’s lacerating and immortal 1964 film—is a satirical embodiment of the mad logic of nuclear brinkmanship codified under the rules of mutual assured destruction. A former Nazi who can’t quite control his atavistic urge to shoot up a “Sieg Heil!” salute to the American president he sees as his new Führer, Strangelove (played as a nervously giggling psycho by Peter Sellers) develops a devilishly twisted solution as humanity faces extinction. This crisis is a result of a preemptive attack on Russia launched by the rogue Brig. Gen. Jack D. Ripper (played by Sterling Hayden), which triggers a Soviet doomsday device. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Union_wants_super_profits_tax_to_pay for_social_housing⠀⇛ A construction union has launched a national campaign for a “super profits” tax on Australia’s richest companies to build more affordable homes.

Their growth buoyed tax revenue, set up New York as a credible rival to the San Francisco Bay Area — and provided jobs that helped the city absorb layoffs in other sectors during the pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. Now, the technology industry is pulling back hard, clouding the city’s economic future. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong_pro-Beijing_lawmaker_says nat._security_police_questioned_her_for_nearly_3_hours_over wanted_relative_in_US⠀⇛ Pro-Beijing lawmaker Eunice Yung, the daughter-in- law of the wanted overseas activist Elmer Yuen, has had her home searched and was later questioned by national security police for nearly three hours on Monday, she has told the press at the Legislative Council. /blockquote> # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Finnish_Right-Wing_Party_Leader_Apologizes After_Racist_Posts_Surface⠀⇛ Riikka Purra, who leads the nationalist Finns party, was the second member of her faction to come under fire for offensive comments since the government was formed a month ago. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Son_and_daughter_of_wanted_self- exiled_activist_Elmer_Yuen_questioned_by_Hong_Kong_police_– reports⠀⇛ Hong Kong national security police have questioned Derek and Mimi Yuen – the son and eldest daughter of wanted self-exiled activist Elmer Yuen – according to local media citing sources on Monday. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Threads’_daily_active_user_base_has reportedly_declined_by_70%⠀⇛ The number of daily active users on Meta Platforms Inc.’s Threads app has reportedly dropped by 70% in just 10 days.

Institutions will be vital to this effort. But what kind of institutions are needed and can realistically be established or empowered to meet the AI challenge quickly? # ⚓ arXiv ☛ International_Institutions_for_Advanced_AI⠀⇛ International institutions may have an important role to play in ensuring advanced AI systems benefit humanity. International collaborations can unlock AI’s ability to further sustainable development, and coordination of regulatory efforts can reduce obstacles to innovation and the spread of benefits. Conversely, the potential dangerous capabilities of powerful and general-purpose AI systems create global externalities in their development and deployment, and international efforts to further responsible AI practices could help manage the risks they pose. This paper identifies a set of governance functions that could be performed at an international level to address these challenges, ranging from supporting access to frontier AI systems to setting international safety standards. It groups these functions into four institutional models that exhibit internal synergies and have precedents in existing organizations: 1) a Commission on Frontier AI that facilitates expert consensus on opportunities and risks from advanced AI, 2) an Advanced AI Governance Organization that sets international standards to manage global threats from advanced models, supports their implementation, and possibly monitors compliance with a future governance regime, 3) a Frontier AI Collaborative that promotes access to cutting-edge AI, and 4) an AI Safety Project that brings together leading researchers and engineers to further AI safety research. We explore the utility of these models and identify open questions about their viability. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Denmark:_Quran_burned_at_Iraqi_embassy_in Copenhagen⠀⇛ Nearly a thousand protesters gathered in Baghdad and attempted to march to the Danish embassy in the heavily fortified Green Zone, but were blocked by security forces.

The book was submitted for publication prior to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. While Guriev and Treisman long categorized Vladimir Putin as a “spin dictator,” they warn in this book that the Russian president has grown increasingly reliant on force, morphing into a “fear dictator.” Meduza special correspondent Margarita Liutova spoke to Professor Treisman to learn more about how Putin’s regime has changed in recent years — and what the future might have in store for Russia. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Iranian_Rapper_Yasin_Reportedly_Moved_To Psychiatric_Center⠀⇛ A rapper from Kermanshah Province — a northwestern region with a significant Kurdish population and the focus of a government crackdown against dissent — recently released an audio message from prison in which he maintained his innocence and expressed frustration at his detention.

They have also been quick to argue (until precedent made it mostly futile) that anything they do in public shouldn’t be documented, recorded, and disseminated. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ NI_police_viewed_journalist’s_call_records to_‘find_whistleblower’⠀⇛ Police in Northern Ireland monitored the phone activity of a journalist who was one of two wrongfully arrested over material that appeared in a documentary about a Troubles massacre, it has been revealed. Belfast-based Barry McCaffrey said it was “shocking” to discover the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 (RIPA) had been used by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) to access his phone records and data in 2013. # ⚓ Haaretz ☛ Why_Doesn’t_the_West_Care_About_the_Middle_East’s Christians?⠀⇛ In his new book “The Last Supper: The Plight of Christians in Arab Lands,” Danish journalist Klaus Wivel delves into these thorny issues. Wivel, who has decades of experience covering the region for the Danish newspaper Weekendavisen, has written a deeply reported, nuanced and compelling account of Christians in the West Bank and Gaza, Egypt, Lebanon and Iraq. “The Last Supper” refers to Christianity’s long and ancient history in the Middle East, but focuses more on the tumultuous decades since the Second World War and, in particular, Christians’ lives and struggles today. # ⚓ New Yorker ☛ Roles_That_You,_a_Digitally_Scanned_Background Actor,_Will_Soon_Be_Performing⠀⇛ Hey, that’s your blurry face right behind digitally de-aged Tom Hanks in the opening credits of the newest chatbot-written Nora Ephron movie! And you never even had to show up to set wearing a polyester-blend suit on a ninety-degree summer day, and you never will again. Save that business attire for non-acting-related job interviews (which you’ll have to take a lot more of now). # ⚓ European Commission ☛ Labour_mobility:_Commission_decides to_refer_ITALY_to_the_Court_of_Justice_of_the_European_Union for_maintaining_discrimination_of_foreign_lecturers⠀⇛ European Commission Press release Brussels, 14 Jul 2023 Today, the European Commission decided to refer Italy to the Court of Justice of the European Union for failing to end discrimination of foreign lecturers. # ⚓ NYPost ☛ Fran_Drescher_defends_smiling_‘selfie’_with_Kim Kardashian_ahead_of_strike_announcement:_‘It_was_absolute work’⠀⇛ Fran Drescher, head of the SAG-AFTRA union, defended herself for attending a publicity event in Italy over the weekend while contract negotiations crumble. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Unionized_workers_are_stepping_in_to_save America’s_oldest_craft_brewery⠀⇛ In 1993, there were just 446 breweries in the US. Three decades later, there are 9,709. Driving that astronomical growth was the proliferation of microbreweries—small outfits that make and sell craft beers—whose ranks swelled more than tenfold in the same period. US craft beer sales hit $26.8 billion in 2021, an 8% annual increase, with the sector making up about 27% of the $100 billion domestic beer market. # ⚓ Reason ☛ Kansas_Cops_Have_‘Waged_War_on_Motorists’_by Subjecting_Them_to_Pretextual_Traffic_Stops,_a_Federal_Judge Says⠀⇛ A cop pulls you over for a minor traffic violation. After giving you a warning or a ticket, he says, “Drive safe!” and starts walking away. But he immediately turns around and walks toward your car again, saying, “Hey, can I ask you something?” That maneuver, known as the “Kansas Two-Step,” is aimed at evading the Fourth Amendment’s constraints on searches and seizures. Police are not supposed to continue detaining you after the ostensible purpose of the stop has been accomplished unless they reasonably suspect you are involved in criminal activity. The two-step is designed to extend the encounter by making it notionally voluntary, giving the officer a chance to elicit incriminating information, ask for permission to search your car, and/or walk a drug-sniffing dog around the vehicle. # ⚓ YLE ☛ SAK:_Finnish_government_plans_violate_international labour_laws⠀⇛ Such a weakening of employees’ protection against dismissal goes against international agreements, according to Anu-Tuija Lehto, Legal Adviser to the Central Association of Finnish Trade Unions (SAK). Under current Finnish law, an employer cannot terminate an employment contract without a “valid and compelling reason”. # ⚓ El País ☛ Ohio_investigates_why_a_police_dog_was_deployed on_a_surrendering_truck_driver⠀⇛ Several Ohio agencies are investigating why an officer allowed his police dog to attack a truck driver who was surrendering with his hands raised, despite State Highway Patrol troopers urging the officer to hold the dog back. # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ The_Feminist_Agenda_Will_Kill_Us_All: Barbie_Is_Woke_and_Right-Wing_Heads_Are_Exploding⠀⇛ In case you’ve been hiding in your cave, Barbie the (very pink) movie has opened – “She can do anything, he’s just Ken” – to a flood of press, praise, profits and horror on the part of grown-ass men bleating about a “man-hating… alienating, dangerous and perverse film” and “woke propaganda fest” that by playfully positing the existence of a patriarchy serves as an insidious “Trojan horse” that will doom us all, also turn us all gay. Well, duh. Ken: “Sublime!” # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Author’s_shock,_tears,_disbelief_at Miles_Franklin_win⠀⇛ When Shankari Chandran got the call to say she had won the Miles Franklin, judge Richard Neville had to repeat the message four times. “My brain just couldn’t quite understand what he was saying to me,” the author told AAP. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ What_the_War_on_Terror_Has_to_Do_With_the_Rise in_Mass_Migration⠀⇛ Seeking news coverage about the Adriana, the boat crowded with some 700 people migrating to Europe to seek a better life that sank in mid-June off the coast of Greece, I googled “migrant ship” and got 483,000 search results in one second. Most of the people aboard the Adriana had drowned in the Mediterranean, among them about 100 children. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ “Immensely_Invisible”:_Immigrant_Women_in ICE_Jails_Face_Sexual_Abuse_Despite_Reforms,_Report_Reveals⠀⇛ A damning new investigation by journalists Maria Hinojosa and Zeba Warsi examines how immigration officials have failed to properly address complaints of sexual abuse from people held in detention centers. The report from Futuro Investigates and Latino USA details how women in jails run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, have been sexually abused, often in a medical setting when they are at their most vulnerable. It comes more than a decade after Hinojosa’s report for PBS Frontline about sexual abuse in ICE detention. But allegations of abuse have continued. “If you complain, you are going to be threatened,” says Hinojosa, who notes there is still “constant coercion” in detention, despite earlier claims of reform. # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ India_PM_Modi_calls_Manipur_sexual assault_‘shameful’,_after_viral_video_of_naked_women paraded⠀⇛ Videos on social media purport to show two women paraded naked and assaulted on a street. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Viral_Video_of_Sexual_Assault_in_India Renews_Attention_on_Manipur⠀⇛ The attack on two women in the state of Manipur led to the first public comments from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, however indirect, about the monthslong violence in the state. # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ India’s_Manipur_has_spent_months_on_the_brink of_war._Is_there_hope?⠀⇛ A relief camp for displaced children in India’s violence-wracked Manipur state shows the challenges of keeping hope alive amid crisis. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Ralph_Nader:_The_Cost_of_Re-Enforcing Political_Monocultures⠀⇛ In nature, monocultures are not so resilient to predators or other ravages that exploit their inherent vulnerabilities. Farmers have known this characteristic of monocultures forever. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Sexual_consent_advocates_demand pornography_regulations⠀⇛ It can be as simple as asking a question, but for many Australians sexual consent is confusing, misunderstood or completely ignored.  A parliamentary committee is examining inconsistencies in consent laws across jurisdictions, the effectiveness of directions to juries about consent, impacts of existing laws on the survivor experience of the justice system, and adequacy of education programs. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ First_languages_court_between_a_dock and_a_hard_place⠀⇛ Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory and Western Australia are being denied access to justice due to a shortage of interpreters in the court system, an investigation has found. Aboriginal defendants are spending more time in detention than necessary and pleading guilty to charges they don’t understand, according to the investigation by ABC Radio National program The Law Report. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ California_hotel_employees_started_the_largest ever_hospitality_strike_in_US_history⠀⇛ Thousands of hotel workers walked off their jobs in Southern California on Sunday (July 2), in_a_labor action_the_United_Here_Local_11_union has dubbed the biggest strike in the history of the US hospitality industry. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ What_Does_It_Take_to_Win_a_Strike?⠀⇛ Half a century ago, long before the Internet, I got a job in a huge semiconductor plant. In Silicon Valley’s factories, we tried to organize a union, arguing that this industry sat at the heart of the US economy. If the workers in it had a strong union, we believed, we could use our power to change the world. Perhaps the industry thought so too: From the start, its titans were committed to keeping the workers in their factories unorganized. When Robert Noyce, cofounder of Intel, famously declared, “Remaining non-union is an essential for survival for most of our companies,” we knew he was talking about us. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ “We_Demand_Respect”:_Actors_Join_Writers_on Strike,_Grinding_Film_&_TV_Production_to_a_Halt⠀⇛ Television and film actors are going on strike after a breakdown in negotiations between the SAG- AFTRA union and Hollywood studios. More than 160,000 members of the union are taking part in the first major actors’ strike since 1980. This also marks the first time since 1960 that actors and screenwriters have been on strike at the same time, with members of the Writers Guild of America on the picket lines since early May. Both unions say pay has not kept up in the streaming age, with even hit shows and movies no longer a guarantee of stable income. The major studios are also pushing for adoption of artificial intelligence tools that could include scanning the likeness of actors to be reused in perpetuity. “There seems to be a concerted effort by these companies to try to break the entertainment unions,” says Shaan Sharma, a Los Angeles Local board member of SAG-AFTRA and a member of the negotiating committee. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ India_dispatch:_Delhi_High_Court_suffers_a lawyers’_strike⠀⇛ Indian law students are reporting for JURIST on law-related developments in and affecting India.

John Margerison was ordered to produce evidence and appear before parliament to answer questions. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Connecticut_State_Troopers_Apparently_Tried_To Bury_Biased_Stop_Data_By_Falsifying_26,000_Traffic_Tickets⠀⇛ Biased policing is just the way things are done. Decades of targeting minorities for being minorities has resulted in tons of garbage data now being used to justify “smarter” policing guided by AI that has been fed nothing but garbage. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ “Chaos_&_Violence”:_NYC_to_Pay_$13M_to Those_Attacked_by_Police_in_2020_Black_Lives_Matter Protests⠀⇛ In a landmark $13 million settlement, New York City has agreed to pay 1,300 people attacked by police while protesting the Minnesota police murder of George Floyd in 2020. Sow v. City of New York yielded the largest total payout to protesters in a class-action suit in U.S. history, totaling about $10,000 per person. The suit focused on how police violated protesters’ civil and constitutional rights by making mass arrests and using excessive force that included improper use of pepper spray and using a tactic called kettling to trap and arrest protesters before a curfew went into effect. The case used a video analysis tool developed by SITU Research that can quickly analyze massive amounts of police body-camera video, aerial footage and social media videos. “The settlement is historic and incredibly important,” says civil rights attorney and co-counsel for the plaintiffs Gideon Oliver. “It’s also in some ways only as important as what we make it mean.” We also speak with Dara Pluchino, a social worker and plaintiff in the case, who describes her experience being kettled. “Once the curfew hit, then that is when chaos occurred and violence occurred.” # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ The_Intercept_Reveals_Border_Patrol_Is Caging_Migrants_Outdoors_in_Deadly_Arizona_Heat⠀⇛ As a record-breaking heat wave continues in Arizona, reporters with The Intercept say they have observed U.S. Border Patrol holding about 50 migrants inside a chain-link pen in the Sonoran Desert, at the Ajo Border Patrol Station. This comes as the group Humane Borders reports the bodies of at least 13 people were found over the past month in the Sonoran Desert where many migrants cross. “You really can’t overstate how deadly this ecosystem is,” says reporter Ryan Devereaux, who describes the well-funded border agencies’ lack of support for border crossers. Roland Gutierrez, Democratic state senator running against Ted Cruz for Senate, says, “We need to revamp the whole system.” # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Chasing_Clicks_Through_Ad_Money,_Media_Does_PR for_Amazon_While_Ignoring_Human_Costs_of_‘Prime_Day_Deals’⠀⇛ This year, like every year, Amazon workers’ attempts to draw attention to their exploitative conditions were largely drowned out by hundreds of fawning PR press releases thinly disguised as articles about how “consumers” could “take advantage” of “amazing deals” offered by Amazon on “Prime Day.” # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ DOJ_Threatens_to_Sue_Texas_Gov._Abbott_for Installing_Barrels_Wrapped_in_Razor_Wire_in_Rio_Grande⠀⇛ The U.S. Justice Department is threatening to sue the state of Texas after Republican Governor Greg Abbott installed barrels wrapped in razor wire in the Rio Grande in an attempt to block migrants from crossing the river. This comes just after a whistleblower state trooper at the Texas Department of Public Safety recently protested the state’s inhumane policies in a letter to superiors. “What’s happening at the border in Texas right now is criminal,” says Democratic Texas Senator Roland Gutierrez. “There’s state crimes, there’s federal crimes, and there’s international crimes.” # ⚓ EFF ☛ Digital_Rights_Updates_with_EFFector_35.9⠀⇛ Learn more about the latest happenings by reading the full newsletter here, or you can listen to the audio version below! # ⚓ EFF ☛ The_NDAA_is_No_Place_for_Sweeping_Internet Legislation_Like_the_STOP_CSAM_Act⠀⇛ As we’ve written before, the STOP CSAM Act would create new criminal and civil claims against online providers based on broad terms and low standards, and will undermine digital security for all internet users. It does three main things:   Taken together, these provisions greatly endanger encrypted communications and protections that ensure platforms can operate. It harms internet users who rely on intermediaries to speak online—that is, all of us. This bill introduces the same misleading “encryption exception” found in the EARN IT Act, which we’ve written about at length. The exception purports to protect online platforms from liability for offering encrypted services, but it specifically allows the use of encryption to be introduced as evidence of the facilitation of illegal material.  # ⚓ Project Censored ☛ Police_Accountability_/_Global_Women_for Peace_United_Against_NATO_Conference_–_The_Project_Censored Show⠀⇛ Notes: Taya Graham and Stephen Janis are on the staff of the Real News Network, and the co-hosts of its Police Accountability Report. Ann Wright had a 29-year career in the US Army, retiring at the rank of colonel. She then worked in the US diplomatic corps, but resigned in protest of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. # ⚓ Columbus Ohio ☛ Circleville_police_dog_mauled_unarmed_Black man_as_he_surrendered_to_officers,_video_shows⠀⇛ Rose, who has been released from jail, told the Dispatch that he couldn’t talk about why he didn’t initially stop.

What you saw is what, pretty much, happened.” # ⚓ YLE ☛ Some_gender-neutral_public_toilets_separated_again amid_mixed_reaction⠀⇛ Shyness, modesty, messiness, and a sense of insecurity are some of the reasons why people find gender-neutral toilets uncomfortable. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Decriminalizing_Being_Human⠀⇛ ACLU attorney Melissa Camacho explains the gradual improvements to Los Angeles county’s barbaric jails after 50 years of fighting for better conditions. # ⚓ Alleged_torture_of_refugees_by_soldiers_on_parliamentary agenda⠀⇛ In a video circulated on social media, several people in military outfits are seen torturing two individuals who are believed to be refugees. # ⚓ Spiegel ☛ “An_Irreparably_Damaged_Life”:_CIA_Kidnapping Victim_Khaled_el-Masri_20_Years_On⠀⇛ Almost two decades ago, the CIA abducted and tortured Khaled el-Masri, a German citizen whom the intelligence service mistakenly believed to be a terrorist. He is still suffering from the consequences today. Many questions about his case remain unanswered, also for the German government. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ John_Kiriakou:_The_Murder_of_‘Whitey’ BulgerJohn_Kiriakou:⠀⇛ The Bureau of Prison’s treatment of the former Mob boss, who was 89 at the time of his death, was at least incompetent and perhaps criminal. # ⚓ ACLU ☛ The_Illinois_Supreme_Court_Cash_Bail_Ruling, Explained⠀⇛ Under a landmark_court_ruling issued this week, Illinois will become the first state in the nation to abolish cash bail. The state supreme court upheld the Illinois Pretrial Fairness Act, which abolishes cash bail and specifies procedures judges must use to impose pretrial detention. Here’s what you need to know, and what happens next. # ⚓ teleSUR ☛ New_York_City_to_Pay_$13_Million_to_George_Floyd Protesters⠀⇛ The city hall will pay US$9,950 to each of the citizens who filed a class action lawsuit for violation of constitutional rights against the Police. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ New_State_Laws_Make_It_Harder_to_Sue_Trucking Companies_After_Crashes⠀⇛ The trucking industry is engaged in a concerted lobbying effort that critics say will make it harder for victims of crashes to sue the companies involved and limit the compensation plaintiffs can win. In the past three years alone, the industry has helped prompt new laws in seven states including Texas and Florida, which rank among the highest in the nation for fatal truck crashes. The industry says those new laws will help curb frivolous lawsuits and excessive payouts, but safety advocates say they instead shield trucking companies from legitimate liability after crashes and disincentivize the companies from working to prevent crashes in the first place. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ California_Governor:_Hey,_Let’s_Try_To_Save_A Few_Bucks_By_Making_Cops_Less_Accountable⠀⇛ We, as a nation, spend hundreds of billions every year to ensure law enforcement agencies are staffed well enough to provide, at best, semi-competent service. We spend billions every year on lawsuit settlements generated by officers who can’t even manage to provide semi-competent service without violating constitutional rights. # ⚓ Spiegel ☛ A_New_Right_Test_Laboratory:_The_Onerous_Abortion Laws_of_Paraguay⠀⇛ The tiny country of Paraguay has become a place where the New Right is making its dark, dystopian vision a reality. International groups are active in the country in an effort to ensure that women carry all their babies to term, no matter how they got pregnant. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ Lawsuit_filed_against_Harvard_challenging_legacy admissions⠀⇛ Activist groups filed a complaint on Monday with the US Department of Education against Harvard University, challenging its legacy admissions policy. The complaint comes days after the US Supreme Court rejected the use of race in college admissions, known as affirmative action, upending years of precedent. # ⚓ teleSUR ☛ EU_Court_Withdraws_Parliamentary_Immunity_From Catalan_Leaders⠀⇛ Puigdemont, Comin, and Ponsati are claimed by the Spanish authorities due to their participation in holding the 2017 pro-independence referendum. # ⚓ uni Michigan ☛ Regents_to_consider_bylaws_change_expanding Faculty_Senate⠀⇛ Public comments are being sought regarding proposed revisions to the Board of Regents’ Bylaws that would expand the membership of the Faculty Senate and Senate Assembly. # ⚓ LRT ☛ Vilnius_Pride_organisers_demand_changes:_we_keep marching_but_laws_stay_the_same⠀⇛ Organisers of this year’s Vilnius Pride aim to win not just the hearts, but also legal changes. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Thousands_Protest_In_North_Macedonia_Against Proposed_Gender-Equality,_Identity_Laws⠀⇛ Thousands of people gathered in protest in North Macedonia’s capital, Skopje, against draft laws on gender equality and identity in a demonstration supported by the Catholic Church, the Islamic religious community, and other religious communities in the small Balkan nation. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘Church_and_state_have_long_since_fused_together’ Why_Russian_religious_leaders’_efforts_to_restrict_abortion may_soon_succeed_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Last week, at a plenary session of the Russian State Duma, Health Minister Mikhail Murashko laid out his extremely regressive vision of what a woman’s life trajectory should look like. In Murashko’s view, women who pursue education and careers before having children are shirking their “responsibility” to their country and its future demographic success. The statements came amid a push by the ministry to restrict Russians’ access to medication abortion; according to the independent outlet Verstka, however, the real instigator of the initiative is the Russian Orthodox Church. Russia’s religious authorities have long opposed abortion in all forms, but they’ve achieved a new level of political influence since the start of the full-scale war as Moscow has abandoned even the pretense of a separation between church and state. Meduza summarizes Verstka’s report. o § Internet Policy/Net Neutrality⠀➾ # ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Using_the_“right”_social_networks⠀⇛ For all the frustration I have with social networks, I chat and post to them regularly. For an introvert, short snippets of text give me an avenue to stay connected with people I care about, at my own pace, and on my own terms. Much of my blog from fifteen years ago was spent lamenting the rise of Facebook, a social network I loathed for what it represented, and for the bellend who founded it. My perceptions have changed little about either one, though the latter’s bumbling waste of money on the ill-conceived metaverse has been entertaining. Abstaining from that platform resulted in two things: [...] # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Telecom_Stocks_Plummet_After_Report_Shows_Many Cables_Lined_With_Lead⠀⇛ While the telecom industry did manage to successfully defang U.S. consumer protection regulators for the better part of the last decade, they’re still facing some notable headwinds. Broadband growth has dramatically slowed, their cable TV customers are leaving in droves, and while they are getting a ton of new subsidies via the infrastructure bill, a lot of that is going to very popular new publicly-owned competitors. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ A_Driver’s_License_for_the_Internet⠀⇛ Age verification laws are changing websites for both children and adults. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ A_Ton_Of_Folks_Don’t_Know_What_‘Right_To_Repair’ Is,_But_Strongly_Support_It_Once_They_Do⠀⇛ In just the last five years, the “right to repair” movement has shifted from nerdy niche to the mainstream, thanks in part to significant support from the Biden FTC and efforts in states like Minnesota and New York to pass new right to repair laws, making it easier and less expensive for consumers and independent repair shops to gain affordable access to manuals, tools, and replacement parts. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Spotify_Faces_Litigation_From_Essence Festival_Over_‘Intentional_Exploitation_of_Black_Culture’⠀⇛ Spotify is facing a lawsuit from the Essence Festival of Culture, alleging an ‘intentional exploitation of Black culture.’ The lawsuit claims that their intellectual property was used without permission by Spotify to promote an event which Spotify hosted “as if they were part of” the festival. # ⚓ The Nation ☛ Psychic_Theater⠀⇛ “All art is propaganda,” says Walton Goggins in I’m a Virgo, Boots Riley’s new Amazon Prime Video series. Goggins plays the show’s villain, a billionaire comic book mogul named Jay Whittle, aka The Hero, who uses his money and tech to fund a one-man war for law and order. He’s Batman if Batman published DC Comics and used his empire to popularize and vindicate his own vigilante efforts. For him, art is propaganda, because it changes how people perceive the world and therefore how they move within it. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ Public Knowledge ☛ IP3_Awards_2023 [Ed: Public Knowledge repeats the words "Intellectual Property"]⠀⇛ It is with great pleasure that we extend this invitation to the 2023 IP3 Awards, a momentous occasion where we come together to recognize and honor remarkable individuals who have made significant contributions in the fields of Intellectual Property, Information Policy, and Internet Protocol. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ FTC_Puts_Challenge_To_Microsoft,_Activision_Deal On_Hold⠀⇛ Well, well, this may be a story that is starting to come to a close. With the EU having already approved Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the two remaining hurdles Microsoft had to jump through were with the UK’s CMA agency and the FTC here in the States. After a recent loss in court blocking a TRO to stop the deal from proceeding while the inquiry continues, the FTC made a bunch of noise about appealing that ruling and continuing forward with its own challenge in court. In the less than two weeks that has followed, several important things happened impacting the likely outcome of the regulatory challenges. # § Trademarks⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Japanese_Media_Spots_The_Trick_After Latest_In-N-Out_Trademark_Tourism_Popup⠀⇛ Finally! We’ve been covering famed burger chain In-N-Out’s longstanding bullshit tactic for retaining trademark rights all over the world by standing up popup locations briefly once every couple of years just to satisfy the requirements to use the mark in commerce. What is far too common in the coverage about lawsuits or threats of suits that the chain has lobbed at international businesses it feels are infringing on those mostly unused trademarks is any recognition in the press that this is pure trademark tourism. In fact, in many cases, the press coverage will include speculation about whether all of this means that In-N-Out is finally going international. # ⚓ Vox ☛ Welcome_to_X,_the_wannabe_“super_app”_formerly known_as_Twitter⠀⇛ On July 23, Musk announced that Twitter would lose its iconic blue bird logo — and, eventually, the name “Twitter” — as his company rebrands to “X” and attempts to fulfill Musk’s super app vision. By Monday morning, the bird was indeed gone. In its place was the new X logo, which appears to come from a user’s suggestion that Musk embedded and tweeted from his own account. The X isn’t a custom design; rather, the company that was once worth $44 billion — but may now be worth as little as $15 billion — went with a slightly altered Unicode character. (Twitter did not respond to comment on the origins of the logo). # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Twitter’s_rebranding_is_a_meaningless publicity_stunt⠀⇛ Musk wants Twitter to resemble WeChat, the Tencent-owned super-app that dominates China’s mobile [Internet]. But any effort to build a super-app in the US would run head- first into prohibitive policies and large fees from Apple and Google, the two effective controllers of the mobile app economy. Musk would likely have to pay each tech giant 30% of any in-app revenues. # ⚓ Digital Music News ☛ Twitter_Ditches_The_Bird, Rebrands_Around_‘X’⠀⇛ Elon Musk re-purchased the X.com domain from PayPal in 2017 for an undisclosed sum. It sat unused until recently, where it now re- directs to Twitter.com. Musk has hinted that eventually, the Twitter.com domain will cease to exist and X.com will takeover—erasing the bluebird branding and one of the biggest social media presences on the web for good. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Elon_May_Have_a_Huge_Issue_Because Microsoft_Owns_the_“X”_Trademark⠀⇛ And now, to add another layer of confusion to the seemingly shortsighted move, it appears that fellow Silicon Valley behemoth Microsoft actually owns the trademark to the letter — meaning that Musk could well face a serious legal struggle in the months or years ahead. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Have_We_Considered_That_Maybe_Elon_Musk Just_Hated_Twitter_&_The_People_Who_Use_It_All_Along?⠀⇛ I wasn’t going to write about Elon changing Twitter’s name and branding to X, because… who cares? I’m not sure what the point is. But, a lot of people have been asking me my thoughts, and the more I was trying to parse it all out, the more confused I became. It basically only makes sense if Elon is trying to erase everything about Twitter, including the embarrassment that it’s caused since he took it over. # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Federal_Court_Orders_Canadian_ISPs_to Block_Pirated_MLB_Live_Streams⠀⇛ Copyright holders have obtained a new piracy- blocking order at Canada’s Federal Court. The ‘dynamic’ injunction requires Internet providers to block access to unauthorized IPTV streams during the current Major League Baseball (MLB) season. This blocking action is limited to games featuring the Toronto Blue Jays and several selected events. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Vandal_Burns_Major_Public_Artwork_by One_of_Italy’s_Top_Living_Artists⠀⇛ A man was detained in connection with the destruction of a monumental version of ‘Venus of the Rags’ by Michelangelo Pistoletto.

Early July the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment and the Motion Picture Association went to court in the United States, hoping to find out more about its operators. That and other factors have caused the site to throw in the towel. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Text-to-Speech_Model_Can_Do_Music, Background_Noises,_And_Sound_Effects⠀⇛ Bark is a universal text-to-audio model that can not only create realistic speech, it can incorporate music, background noises, and sound effects.

Overall it provided a nice mixture between what happens in the community, learning how people solved problems and learning from them (for example Ingo fixing accessibility in Kleopatra) and insight into new technologies (I had never heard of Slint before). Apart from the two standout keynotes about Kdenlive and the Libre Space Foundation I want to highlight Joseph’s talk about Internal Communication at KDE which it turns out also projects outwards for example to new potential contributors. The talk itself was well structured and presented and had engaged with the audience nicely as well. This year I did not submit a talk myself but stood in for Albert for an update about what’s happening in the KDE_Free_Qt Foundation and in the KDE_e.V._KDE_Free_Qt Working_Group during the KDE e.V. Working Group reports. since he had a talk at the same time in the other room. # ⚓ KDE Official ☛ Akademy_2023_–_How_it_Happened⠀⇛ Akademy is KDE’s annual event where the community comes together in one place to meet in person, share ideas and hack on common projects. This year’s Akademy was held in Thessaloniki, Greece and started on July 15th and ran until July 21st. This year 150 people attended Akademy in person, and 220 tuned in online to attend chats and BoFs over video conference. The first weekend of Akademy, as is tradition, was dedicated to talks, panels and fireside chats. The sessions, which were streamed live to the whole world, covered a wide variety of KDE-related topics, ranging from the hot topic of the road to Plasma 6, to how to hack off-the-shelf solar panels, and many things in between. # ⚓ Adriaan de Groot ☛ EV_(Electric_Vehicle,_not_the_KDE thing)⠀⇛ Some time ago I bought a car. Anyway, it’s all-electric, and also the first car I’ve ever owned in over 35 years of holding a driver’s license. To give this a bit of a KDE spin, after Akademy in Greece I stuck a week of vacation on to it and rented a car. An ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) one, which felt backwards and weird. It is entirely a practical consideration, though. From my house in the Netherlands, in a small town of 12 thousand people, there are 7 charger poles (2 spots each) within 300m. Only two are particularly convenient to reach, but there’s always something available. I haven’t even bothered to count the total in town – lots. # ⚓ Harald Sitter ☛ Writing_Selenium/Appium_Tests_on Windows [Ed: Wasting KDE resources on a malicious platform with DRM]⠀⇛ Akademy, KDE’s annual conference, recently took place in Thessaloniki, Greece.

The new Shotwell 0.32.2 added .hif file format support. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Gentoo Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Gentoo_GSoC:_Weekly_report_8,_LLVM_libc⠀⇛ Hi! This (and last week) I’ve spent my time polishing the LLVM/Clang crossdev work. I have also created ebuilds for llvm-libc, libc-hdrgen and also the SCUDO allocator. But I will probably bake SCUDO into the llvm-libc ebuild instead actually. One thing I have also made is a cross eclass that handles cross compilation, instead of having the same logic copy- pasted in all ebuilds. To differentiate a “normal” crossdev package and LLVM/Clang crossdev I decided to use “cross_llvm-${CTARGET}” as package category name. This is necessary since you need some way to tell the ebuild about using LLVM for cross. My initial idea was to handle all this in the crossdev script, but crossdev ebuilds are self- contained, and you can do something like “emerge cross_llvm-gentoo-linux- llvm/llvm-libc” and it will do the right thing without running emerge from crossdev. Hence I need to handle cross compilation in the ebuilds themselves, using the eclass. Me and sam are not sure if a new eclass is the right thing to do but I will continue with it until I get some more thoughts as we can just inline everything later without wasting any work. I feel pretty much done now except for baking SCUDO directly into the llvm-libc ebuild. Actually it is very simple to do but I got some issues with libstdc++ when using llvm/ as root source directory for the libc build, which is necessary to use when compiling SCUDO. Previously I used runtimes/ as root directory, and that worked without issue. Currently to work around this you can just compile the source files in llvm-project/compiler-rt/lib/scudo/standalone and append the object files into libc.a. LLVM libc then just works with crossdev and you can compile things with the emerge wrapper as usual, but currently a lot of autotools things break due to me not having specified gnuconfig for llvm-libc yet. # ⚓ Gentoo ☛ Gentoo_GSoC:_Weekly_report_6,_LLVM_libc⠀⇛ Hi! This week I have been working on LLVM/Clang support for Crossdev. This is currently done by swapping out the different Crossdev stages for ones that make sense for LLVM. Currently it replaces stage0 with checking whether LLVM can target the target triple’s architecture by checking the LLVM_TARGETS USE-flag. Stage1, which normally installs libc headers and compiles a -stage1 C compiler is replaced by installing libc headers and compiling Stage2 (kernel headers), is the same. Stage3 (libc install), is the same. Stage4, which compiles a full compiler is skipped completely. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Users_will_leave_if_RHEL_code_access_reduced: Samba_co-founder⠀⇛ His post was prompted by Red Hat’s decision on 21 June to announce that from that day onwards, only those who bought RHEL licences from the company would have access to the distribution’s source code. {loadposition sam08}As background, a project named CentOS was distributing RHEL without Red Hat’s trademarks — the only proprietary bits — until Red Hat bought the project and took it in-house in 2014. # ⚓ Red Hat ☛ End-to-end_testing_with_self-hosted_runners_in GitHub_Actions [Ed: Red Hat is shilling proprietary prisons of Microsoft and compiler you neither control nor can audit (NSA-connected).

Current daily builds of Ubuntu 23.10 include the Linux 6.3 kernel. Linux 6.5 is due for release in mid to late August. Ubuntu 23.10’s kernel freeze takes effect on September 28. And the final stable release of Ubuntu 23.10 goes live on October 12. Development of Linux 6.6 will be underway by this point but it won’t be “ready” enough to squeak in. But that’s not a bad thing: Linux 6.5 (naturally) offers a ton of improvements, enablements, enhancements, etc — especially when compared to the Linux 6.2 kernel Ubuntu 23.04 ships with. # ⚓ Ubuntu Fridge ☛ The_Fridge:_Ubuntu_Weekly_Newsletter_Issue 797⠀⇛ Welcome to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Issue 797 for the week of July 16 – 22, 2023.

All have 4 cores and all except the HiFive board have 8GB of RAM (HiFive Unmatched has 16GB). All have some kind of flash-based storage: The Raspberry Pi and Sipeed Lichee are using external SanDisk SSDs connected by USB 3. The HiFive Unmatched and VisionFive 2 have NVMe drives (I hope all SBCs provide an NVMe slot going forward). Since I mainly use these for compiling Fedora packages, I tested compiling qemu using identical configurations. I built it a few times to warm up and then timed the last build, on otherwise unloaded machines.

Which would, no doubt, contribute to their own bonuses. Had Google been reported to have been trying to create software to write press releases — or even blog posts for security companies — one would have nothing to comment about. Spin, turgid spin, is what Google is best at. YouTube, one of Google’s properties, is a good example of this; some time back, the company stopped posting public numbers when one down-voted a video. Only the up-votes are shown. That is the exact opposite to a news report where the emperor is shown without his clothes. News reports are not nice, comfy compositions. Anyway, one thought the company would be the best source of information about its own ambitions. So I sent them an inquiry on the day this report ran, 21 July. Alas, the Chocolate Factory has not bothered to respond. > # ⚓ Barry Kauler ☛ Ah,_Blondie⠀⇛ Up until quite recently, I thought that was her name, but no, “Blondie” is the name of the band, and her name is Debbie Harry.

After initial FOMO eased up I noticed a lot of positive changes in my life. I’ve always know that I alone will not save the World but it has never sunk in. You cannot help everyone, but you can help your family, friends or neighbors. You cannot save the World, but you can make your vicinity a little better. Think simple, think small. This philosophy made me for the first time since forever feel completely calm. Politics is still shitty here and around the World. The war abroad is still going on. The internet is still collapsing. Corporations are still doing their power grab. But I’m not feeling that everything is lost. So instead of shouting: “Doom is near! Everything is lost!” I’ll write something positive. # ⚓ Life_is_but_a_I_have_a_dream⠀⇛ I awoke to pee at 2:31am last night, and became enchanted with the title of this – albeit fearful I’d not remember it by the morning given how it seems memory is no longer a gimme. I returned to bed, and oriented this nearer-the- end-than-the-beginning body the opposite the way it was pre-pee, knowing it was just a matter of time before my wife’s nasal foghorn would kick in. But soon enough the other side of the bodily waste elimination game was tapping me on the inner shoulder loudly enough to prevent falling back asleep. So I showed it its due respect, then walked slowly out into the house proper, and opened most of the windows, as it was pleasantly cool outside, remembering the central air could just barely keep the insides 76F yesterday. Service for that is supposed to arrive today. But I wanted to get the house as cool as possible before the environment started bringing the heat. # ⚓ Red_Rising_book_review⠀⇛ Red Rising is a science ficiton novel written by Pierce Brown in 2014. It tells the story of a dystopian universe ruled by a society that enforces a caste system based on colors. At the top, the almost inhuman Golds, physically and mentally stronger than the rest, born to enforce the rule of their class. At the bottom, the Reds, born to work the mines and treated as less than human. As the title of the novel suggests, the Reds grow tired of being slaves of the Golds and begin to rise against the society. I found this book after finishing the Silo series by Hugh Howey. I was initially drawn to the novel as it starts off similar to Silo. The Reds live deep underground, safe from the inhospitable surface of Mars above them. They work to one day make the planet safe for themselves, and other members of the society. Similarly, Silo is the story of the last of humanity living in a massive underground bunker, safe from the toxic wasteland that has consumed Earth. o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ No_Change_Friday⠀⇛ Sysadmins (or whatever it is they are called these days) may push for no changes to production on various days, Friday for example. There is plenty else to do meanwhile. Some developers instead push for all changes all the time. This probably depends where one is on the “change nothing, ever” to “move fast and break things” line and may also depend on who is going to be woken up at two in the morning to do triage (a sysadmin, usually). There will be variance by industry: an experimental lab may differ from a bank as to what regulations apply, when changes can be made in production, etc. # ⚓ Whoooooo_are_you…_who_who_.._who_who?⠀⇛ Are all of you essentially non-player characters in my dream/simulation?

You can call things whatever you want. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
