Schestowitz Video_download_link | md5sum c54c33e3c2785e958f9b611d970876a8 World Wide Web Deteriorating Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0 http://techrights.org/videos/google-web-drm-and-spew.webm Summary: The World Wide Web was becoming proprietary some years ago; now they add some more Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) on top of it, in effect dooming everything once known as the “Open Web” THE more recent Daily Links (from this past week) included coverage regarding the “Web Integrity API”, which is a misleading name. We include them again below [1-5] for readers’ convenience and some context. Digital artist David Revoy has since then published a “picture [he] had in mind about the topic of Web Environment Integrity.” [6] Here it is: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Fighting_For_The_Open_Web⦈_ “Fighting_For_The_Open_Web” by David Revoy − CC-BY_4.0 So what’s it all about? Basically we_wrote_about_this_trend_one_week_ago, cautioning the World Wide Web is rapidly becoming proprietary. “One solution that seems far-fetched (at least for now) is abandoning the Web and gradually adopting something else.”So what’s the solution to all this? In the video above I explain that changing one’s Web browser won’t solve the issue. A lot of the problem is upstream. The Web itself is becoming poisonous to the client side. One solution that seems far-fetched (at least for now) is abandoning the Web and gradually adopting something else. It may take a long time to gain a foothold. But it’s progressing. 4 years ago Gemini started and we kept an eye on it months later, then adopted it. Techrights started 2.5 years ago (its first capsule iteration was very simplistic) and it grew over time to nearly 50,000 pages. Now there is almost 1-to-1 parity between our site and our Gemini capsule. The same is true for Tux Machines, which adopted Gemini less than a year ago (still very young, but the site turns 20 next summer). It has been a worthwhile effort and a smooth ride. Tux Machines saw over 100 unique IPs today in Gemini. Pages are requested about 50 per day per unique visitor. So Gemini is growing and it’s awesome. The next milestone might be 1,000 unique IPs per day. Techrights is exceeding 500 some days. “This is more like Adobe Flash or a blob with ActiveX/ActionScript and some “protected content” (DRM).”The Web isn’t dead, but it’s waning. Publishers or “News Web Sites” that stay only with the Web are not keeping up with changing times. Today’s “modern” Web is becoming a DRM-enabled transport layer for a “virtual machine” called “Web browser” (or “app”), running WASM (WebAssembly), JS (JavaScript) etc. This is more like Adobe Flash or a blob with ActiveX/ ActionScript and some “protected content” (DRM). It’s not open. Don’t help the openwashing. Accept that adoption of such “standards” just further marginalises small players. ActionScript is already small and primitive compared to what the Web is today. The video above further discusses a worrying trend in the content one finds on the Web these days. As noted the_other_day, summaries get created by bots and a lot of things people read aren’t even composed by humans. While grinding through today’s headlines one finds a lot of clickbait and deceptive sentences. In some cases those are composed with SEO in mind, not with humans and mind. In other words, the headlines are written to target bots (like Googlebot), not humans. Where are we going with this? “ActionScript is already small and primitive compared to what the Web is today.”Now, back to DRM. When Julien Picalausa wrote_about_it_3_days_ago he made it abundantly clear that “Web Integrity API” or “Web Environment Integrity” (WEI) from Google is DRM by another name. As a reader told us, the Web browser Vivaldi’s site tears apart the PR. And there is low-profile trouble brewing with DRM in Chromium which Google is pushing. WEI is the “Web Environment Integrity API”, which is yet another name (among many others) for DRM. It’s Google-controlled DRM with another new euphemism. Google has been by far the worst culprit when it comes to putting DRM in the Linux kernel. Maybe it’s time to say goodbye to Google. If it’s hard to use the Web without a Google-controlled browser (Chromium derivative or Google-funded Firefox), we might have to discard the Web, too. █ Related/contextual items from the news: 1. ⚓ Google’s_nightmare_“Web_Integrity_API”_wants_a_DRM_gatekeeper_for_the web⠀⇛ Google’s newest proposed web standard is… DRM? Over the weekend the Internet got wind of this proposal for a “Web Environment Integrity API. ” The explainer is authored by four Googlers, including at least one person on Chrome’s “Privacy Sandbox” team, which is responding to the death of tracking cookies by building a user-tracking ad platform right into the browser. 2. ⚓ Google’s_post-cookie_world_could_turn_into_DRM_for_the_[Internet]⠀⇛ The new proposal details “Web Environment Integrity,” which would use what sounds like Trust Tokens to ensure that the client viewing a website is a human without revealing too much about them. Google suggests the system could be an alternative to captchas and other solutions that websites utilize to block bots, online game cheaters, and other malicious actors. However, the GitHub page admits that servers could use the tokens to block visitors based on what they’re using to access a site. The result could theoretically be DRM prohibiting ad blockers, extensions, or modified operating systems. 3. ⚓ Google’s_next_big_idea_for_browser_security_looks_like_another_freedom grab_to_some⠀⇛ This therefore starts to slide the web toward a time in which only authorized, officially released browsers will be accepted by websites. And since Chromium serves as the foundation of not just Google Chrome, but also Microsoft Edge, Brave, and a number of other browsers, WEI could have a broad effect on the web – if and when it gets deployed and adopted. 4. ⚓ Google’s_Web_Integrity_API_branded_‘attack_on_the_open_web’⠀⇛ A working draft specification for a new browser API from Google has raised outcry from the technical community about ethics, trust and adding DRM to the internet. The Web Environment Integrity API (WEI) is not a heavily promoted project – the documentation is only hosted on an employee’s personal Github account, rather than an official repo – but there are signs that Google is actively working to build the feature into Chrome now. 5. ⚓ Google_trying_to_corner_browser_market,_Norwegian_firm_Vivaldi_claims⠀⇛ “This means Google decides which browser is trustworthy on its own platform. I do not see how they can be expected to be impartial,” he noted. “On Windows, they would probably defer to Microsoft via the Windows Store, and on Mac, they would defer to Apple. So, we can expect that at least Edge and Safari are going to be trusted. Any other browser will be left to the good graces of those three companies.” Picalausa said it would not be possible for browser firms not to implement the specification if it was accepted. “Any browser choosing not to implement this would not be trusted and any website choosing to use this API could therefore reject users from those browsers. Google also has ways to drive adoptions by websites themselves,” he pointed out. “First, they can easily make all their properties depend on using these features, and not being able to use Google websites is a death sentence for most browsers already. “Furthermore, they could try to mandate that sites that use Google Ads use this API as well, which makes sense since the first goal is to prevent fake ad clicks. That would quickly ensure that any browser not supporting the API would be doomed.” He said that it was possible that laws in the European Union would “not allow a few companies to have a huge amount of power in deciding which browsers are allowed and which are not. There is no doubt that attesters would be under a huge amount of pressure to be as fair as possible”. However, Picalausa added, “Unfortunately, legislative and judicial machineries tend to be slow and there is no saying how much damage will be done while governments and judges are examining this. If this is allowed to move forward, it will be a hard time for the open Web and might affect smaller vendors significantly.” 6. ⚓ Fighting_for_the_open_web.⠀⇛ A picture I had in mind about the topic

Company_If_They_Can_Find_a_Job_Elsewhere⠀✐ Posted in Microsoft at 5:57 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz Just published_based_on_a_leak, but lodged behind an annoying paywall. Here’s the core part: 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Leaked_Microsoft_polls_show_employees_feel_much_worse_about culture_and_leadership_than_at_the_beginning_of_the_year⦈_ Summary: Microsoft should be extremely worried; endless_waves_of_layoffs_this year have caused an unprecedented lack of loyalty to the employer and it’s a crisis so severe that Microsoft’s media operatives now publish spin with utterly misleading figures; for instance, Microsoft’s decades-long propagandist Todd Bishop now pretends Microsoft saw “decline of 11,000 people,” which is an obvious lie. What a disgusting lie. This year we estimate that about 30,000 people either got laid off, left (not to be replaced) or had their contract discontinued (temps_and_others). The prevalent gossip at Microsoft at the moment is that in order to crush unions the company seeks to replace many remaning workers with scabs on work visas (people who can be deported from the country for any perceived disloyalty). ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⡇⡙⠇⣿⡑⠢⣿⢸⣿⢰⡎⢻⡇⠒⣿⠰⢎⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿

for_Surface_and_Windows_products:_Microsoft_boosters,_not_Microsoft_critics⦈_ As noted_the_other_day Summary: Microsoft, which falsely claims to be worth US$trillions (but has plenty_of_debt), can barely sell its devices after US$billions poured down the drain; according to this_month’s_data (spreadsheet_as_OpenDocument_Format_with graph), devices like Surface don’t add up to even 1% and reports suggest Microsoft’s_mass_layoffs this year basically spell the end of “Surface” (this probably_means_no_peripherals_or_no_hardware_either, just_buzzwords)

Personal/Opinions o Politics_and_World_Events o Technology_and_Free_Software * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ Capacitor⠀⇛ At the start of the pandemic, we weren’t worried about toilet paper, having probably 200 rolls in giant packages in our linen closet. Maybe more. My father-in-law spends his retirement keeping an eye out for deals, calling us when things fall into the “buy” range. This of course was useful; while coworkers complained about running low, or their kids burning through rolls, I knew I didn’t have to buy any more for years. My student poverty years, decades past now, instilled a fear of running out. The pandemic added a new layer to this: supply chain issues. And as the world catches fire, as food supplies in Ukraine are destroyed by Russia in missile strikes…well, you get where I’m going. My paranoia, never particularly low to begin with, is ratcheted up. I’m wondering if I should buy an extra sack of rice. Set up additional shelves in my basement, buy cans good enough for years, let myself drift somewhere between cautious and prepper. # ⚓ TGIF⠀⇛ Friday night, dinner had, there’s not much on TV. Flipping the channels I see horse racing, swimming, and famous people eating. It’s been sizzling hot all week, but it’s nice and cool outside now. Nice and windy and cool. I may hangout on the balcony taking in the city lights. o § Politics and World Events⠀➾ # ⚓ Ten_Theses_on_Anti-Tiqqunism⠀⇛ Recently a handful of people, likely a very small group associated with the Ungrateful Hyenas, who live thousands of miles from Atlanta and do not participate in the struggle against Cop City, have posted long tracts critiquing “Tiqqunism” on a platform dedicated to hosting communiques of sabotage against Cop City. If thoughtful, capable people come to believe the writings of the hyenas, it is not because they have posed interesting ideas or demonstrated any impressive capacity to act individually or as a group. Rather, their claims resonate only on the basis of their banality. The stories they are bandying out, the pseudo-debate they are attempting to conjure, and the odd slogans they are peddling on the internet magnify the same generalized timidity, powerlessness, and repression that all counter-revolutionary forces strive to produce. [...] Anti-semitism is the ur-conspiracy theory, deeply baked into the narrative structures by which people apprehend notions of sinister groups, secret plots, internal enemies, etc. Popular narratives about hidden cabals, double allegiance, or sinister forms of power and control draw conceptually from anti- semitism.[1] The formal structure of these accusations about “Tiqqunism” relies on tropes drawn from anti-semitic narratives, and also specifically targets a perceived informal network which happens to include quite a few Jews and is inspired by a jewish theological concept,**** **tikkun olam**.[2] o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Hello,_twilight_zone!⠀⇛ I’ve always felt mildly enlightened for having ditched Twitter and Facebook long ago, but not for idealistic reasons – rather, a combination of neither championing longer text interaction, and noticing that’s where the idiots of the species were flocking due (in part) to essentially non- existent barriers to entry. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Collabora developer Faith Ekstrand and various contributors have been powering through developing NVK, the open source Vulkan driver for NVIDIA. # ⚓ WCCF Tech ☛ Intel_Arc_GPUs_Keep_On_Getting_Better,_Latest Linux_Driver_Further_Improves_Performance⠀⇛ Intel has been rapidly developing its open-source Vulkan drivers for Linux recently, incorporating technologies like ray tracing & generally improving overall performance for its GPUs like the Arc family. It was said that the driver optimizations were halted due to a lack of support for the ” I915_FORMAT_MOD_4_TILED_DG2_RC_CCS” modifier, but now it has been added due to which the benchmarks were obtained. # ⚓ WCCF Tech ☛ AMD_Releases_Next-Gen_GPU_Patches_For_Linux, Also_Publishes_AMDGPU_Firmware_For_Upcoming_Radeon_GPUs⠀⇛ For a quick recap, AMD has taken a new approach to releasing drivers on the Linux kernel with the aim of easing device enumeration. The change is adopting important driver changes through IP/ hardware blocks rather than huge patches at a time. While this approach takes longer time and dedication, it is advantageous for less hard-coded information within the driver and makes it well- compiled, which comes as a clutch when solving a specific problem. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Links ☛ 5_Excellent_Free_and_Open_Source_OCR Systems⠀⇛ The use of paper has been displaced from some activities. For example, the vast majority of journeys on the London Underground are made using the Oyster card without a paper ticket being issued. We have witnessed talk of a paperless office for more than 40 years. However, the office environment has shown a resistance to remove the mountain of paper generated. Things have changed in the past few years, with a marked shift in the paperless office concept. Paper documents contain a wealth of important management data and information that would be better stored electronically. There is computer software that makes this conversion possible. The benefit of scanning documents is not purely for archival reasons. OCR technology is vital for gaining access to paper-based information, as well as integrating that information in digital workflows. OCR software is not mainstream so open source alternatives to proprietary heavyweight software (such as OmniPage, ReadIRIS, CVision pdfcompressor, or the Linux supported ABBYY FineReader) are fairly thin on the ground. Matters are also complicated by the fact that OCR computer software needs very sophisticated algorithms to translate the image of text into accurate actual text. The software also has to cope with images that contain a lot more than text, such as layouts, images, graphics, tables, in single or multi pages. Here’s our rating for each OCR system. Only free and open source software is eligible for inclusion. # ⚓ TecMint ☛ 5_Best_Command_Line_HTTP_Clients_for_Linux⠀⇛ HTTP clients are utility software that enables you to download files over the Internet. Apart from being able to download files remotely, these command line tools can be used for other tasks such as debugging and interacting with web servers. Today, check out our list of the best HTTP clients created for use in the Linux Command Line. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ How_to_Create_and_Manage_Workspaces_on Ubuntu⠀⇛ Workspaces or virtual desktops are a group of tasks or programs on a dedicated window on your PC screen. Workspaces are ideal for improved focus, productivity, and clutter-free desktops. You can use workspaces to streamline your work by focusing on a set of related tasks at a time. To underline their importance, workspaces are available on all major operating systems: Windows, Linux, and macOS. Here’s how you can create and manage workspaces on Ubuntu. # ⚓ Medium ☛ Your_First_Bash_Script!⠀⇛ This post follows my previous post ‘Keeping Ubuntu Up-to-Date’. If you haven’t already, check that out. We left off the last post by updating Ubuntu and all our other packages. If you remember, just doing a simple update of your packages and OS can be quite involved for the task that it is. Enter Bash scripting. Imagine a Bash script as a list of instructions. When we create and run a Bash script, you can tell your machine to run a list of commands in a row. So instead of typing each of the commands from the previous post, every time we login to our Ubuntu box, we can type one command to run our Bash script and all of the commands will be ran. # ⚓ Security Boulevard ☛ Linux_Commands_To_Check_The_State_Of Firmware⠀⇛ Whether you are new to Linux or a seasoned Linux systems administrator, knowing the hardware and firmware on your systems is essential. Firmware that is out-of-date can pose security and operational risks. I advise you to keep up with firmware updates before you are impacted by an attacker with a shiny new exploit or some elusive crash of your system. While there are numerous utilities and commands that can provide insight into the state of your firmware, with some being included in your distribution and others available from your favorite package manager, keeping them handy or even scripting them can make your job that much easier. What follows is a fairly comprehensive list, with examples, of commands that allow you to discover the state of various hardware and firmware. # ⚓ Medium ☛ Managing_Your_Linux_Box_from_Windows_w/_XRDP. [Ed: You do not need Windows to do this. RDP is also notorious not secure.]⠀⇛ # ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Install_PuTTY_on_Linux⠀⇛ PuTTY is a free and open-source cross-platform SSH and telnet client that even after being around for over 20 years remains one of the most popular SSH clients being used especially on the Windows platform. Linux distros ship with SSH capabilities built into their terminal but in real-world environments, I have seen PuTTY being used instead of the default Linux systems more times than I cared to count. # ⚓ TecMint ☛ 6_Best_Command-Line_FTP_Clients_for_Linux_Users⠀⇛ FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol used for transferring files between a client and a server on a computer network. In the early days, FTP applications were initially designed for the command line, predating the widespread adoption of GUI (Graphical User Interface) Operating Systems. # ⚓ TecMint ☛ How_to_Uninstall_Recently_Installed_Packages_on Ubuntu⠀⇛ Ubuntu is a popular Linux distribution known for its ease of use, stability, and user-friendly approach. One of the things that makes Ubuntu so easy to use is its apt package management system, which enables you to easily install, update, and remove software packages on your Ubuntu system. In this article, we will show you how to uninstall or remove recently installed software packages on Ubuntu using the graphical user interface (GUI) and the command line. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GTA_V_Running_on_Nintendo_Switch_with_Android_and_Ubuntu Linux⠀⇛ This impressive feat of running GTA V on a Nintendo Switch is not a hoax or trickery. A tech-tuber from the Geekerwan YouTube channel demonstrates the process of installing Android and Ubuntu Linux on the Nintendo Switch, along with overclocking the system. By overclocking the CPU to 2.3 GHz and GPU to 1267 MHz, the Switch becomes capable of running Android. In this mode, it functions like an Android tablet and can even be connected to a keyboard and mouse for productivity purposes. The video showcases the Switch running mobile games such as Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, with the latter performing better due to its more GPU-focused nature. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Proton_Experimental_fixes_up_Final_Fantasy XIII,_Dark_Souls_II_and_more⠀⇛ Valve has released another upgrade to Proton Experimental for Steam Deck and desktop Linux on July 27th, here’s a run over what’s new and improved for you. ICYMI: Valve recently released Proton 8.0-3. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Persona_5_Strikers_fully_playable_on_Steam Deck_with_this_tweak⠀⇛ Since its release in October 2022, Persona 5 Royal has been one of the perfect Steam Deck games. Persona 5 Royal’s design being very well suited for handheld play; combined with being a very well optimized PC Port overall. It’s sequel / spin-off, Persona 5 Strikers, has not fared so well. Despite launching on Steam in February 2021, well before Persona 5 Royal, Persona 5 Strikers is still listed as Unsupported on Steam Deck. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Homeworld_Remastered_Collection_and_Severed Steel_are_free_on_Epic_Games⠀⇛ As a space-nerd, I couldn’t miss telling you that you can grab the entire Homeworld Remastered Collection free on Epic Games right now. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Combat-free_RPG_set_in_an_occult_library BOOK_OF_HOURS_launches_August_17th⠀⇛ Releasing on August 17th from developer Weather Factory, BOOK OF HOURS is an “elegant, melancholy, combat-free RPG set in an occult library” and it certainly looks different. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Check_out_the_new_demo_for_Aurora:_The_Lost Medallion_–_The_Cave⠀⇛ Aurora: The Lost Medallion – The Cave is an upcoming coming-of-age tale of destiny, friendship, and discovery. From Noema Games and Gamera Games, it’s a hand-painted point and click adventure that will have full Native Linux support. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Heroic_Games_Launcher_gets_a_critical hotfix_in_2.9.1⠀⇛ Heroic Games Launcher recently had a massive 2.9.0 version bump with some awesome new features like Amazon Games integration. However, it was just a little bit broken. # ⚓ [Corrected] GamingOnLinux ☛ Baldur’s_Gate,_Neverwinter Nights,_Pathfinder_and_more_in_this_bundle⠀⇛ This seems like a game bundle not to be missed if you’re an RPG fan. Humble Bundle has teamed up with Beamdog for the RPG Legends: Baldur’s Gate & Beyond. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ GNOME_Devs_Are_Working_on_a_New_Window Management_System⠀⇛ Ithink everyone who used GNOME knows how its windowing system works. Each new window is opened on top of an existing window and arranged in a cascading manner. There’s nothing wrong with this traditional windowing system, but if you open too many windows things may get messy. With GNOME’s existing windowing systems, when you open more than 8 stacked windows on a Full HD (1920×1080) screen with 100% scaling, newly opened windows will be opened over existing ones, which, of course, will no longer be visible. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § New Releases⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Magazine ☛ Zorin_OS_16.3_is_Now_Available⠀⇛ If you’re a fan of Zorin (or of user-friendly, open-source operating systems), you should be excited about the new 16.3 release. This latest upgrade includes the highly-anticipated Zorin OS Upgrader, which allows users to easily upgrade between releases and editions of Zorin OS without having to re-install the OS. With the new upgrader, you can even go from, say, Zorin OS 16 Core to Zoron OS 16 Pro or Zorin OS 15 to Zorin OS 16. This feature has been in development for over a year and is now considered stable. # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Zorin_OS_16.3:_Visually_Pleasing_but_Stuck_to_an Aging_System_Base⠀⇛ In the vast and diverse world of operating systems, Zorin OS, an Ubuntu-based distribution, stands out as a user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing choice for newcomers to the Linux ecosystem. Its sleek and modern interface, reminiscent of other popular operating systems, ensures a smooth transition for those looking to embrace the open- source world without sacrificing usability. The just released Zorin OS 16.3 was eagerly awaited but, unfortunately, rather disappointing. Here’s why. # ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Zorin_OS_16.3_Released_with_Upgrade_Tool, LibreOffice_7.5⠀⇛ Zorin OS 16.3 introduces a number of refinements that, its developers say, help “elevate your computing experience even further”. On paper, the inclusion of the new Zorin OS Upgrader app is Zorin OS 16.3’s tentpole feature. This tool has been in a year in development. It allows users to upgrade from one version of Zorin OS to another, be it a new version (e.g., a point release like this one) or a different edition (such as going from Zorin OS Lite to Zorin OS Pro). # ⚓ Real Linux User ☛ Zorin_OS_16.3_is_available_now⠀⇛ Zorin OS seems to be getting more and more popular. Linux-related websites, blogs, YouTube channels, forums, there is a lot of talk about Zorin OS. That is not that surprising, because Zorin OS offers a very nice out-of-the-box experience. Within most other Linux distros, it is possible to customize it exactly to your own liking with themes, plugins, and apps, but if you are not a tweaker and you just want to be productive immediately after installation, then Zorin OS is a very nice choice, with the built-in Zorin Appearance, built-in support for almost all known package formats, built-in support for running Windows applications, built-in database to familiarize you with alternative software, and built-in support for connecting to your mobile phone, to name a few strengths. And now there is Zorin OS 16.3 that strengthens a good foundation a bit further. Let’s see what Zorin OS 16.3 has to offer. # ⚓ Beta News ☛ Zorin_OS_16.3_Linux_distribution_is_here,_and you_should_switch_from_Microsoft_Windows_11_immediately⠀⇛ In a world of tech monopolies, the pursuit of superior alternatives is always a refreshing endeavor. Zorin OS, a Linux-based operating system, has been making waves as an effective and free substitute to Windows, offering a more secure, user-friendly, and flexible experience. With over 5.3 million downloads in less than two years for Zorin OS 16, it’s clear that users are seeking a fresh perspective in personal computing, a realm dominated by the antiquated and often frustrating Windows environment. The latest release, Zorin OS 16.3, comes packed with cutting-edge enhancements designed to elevate user experience. A stand-out feature of this release is the Zorin OS Upgrader, a long-awaited functionality that enables seamless upgrades between releases and editions of Zorin OS. This innovative feature eradicates the cumbersome process of reinstalling the operating system during upgrades, a headache many Windows users are unfortunately all too familiar with. # ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ Zorin_OS_16.3_Release_Features_a_New_Upgrade App_and_Other_Changes⠀⇛ We can confidently say that Zorin OS is one of the most beautiful Linux distributions. Based on Ubuntu’s LTS releases, it offers a nice blend of looks and functionality. When we looked at the previous version last year, it was all about providing useful refinements across the board. And this time round, the case is quite similar. Zorin OS 16.3 is now available for download, with many improvements. Allow me to take you through this release. o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ OpenSUSE ☛ openSUSE_Wishes_You_a_Happy_SysAdmin_Day⠀⇛ System administrators (sysadmins) are the unsung heroes of technology, and the openSUSE Project is thankful for all the openSUSE heroes that help our project to function. Sysadmins are responsible for maintaining the backbone of our technology. They work behind the scenes to maintain infrastructure, security, and overall functionality of computer systems. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ University_of_Alabama_at_Birmingham_accelerates research_with_Canonical_and_Dell⠀⇛ UAB is committed to empowering its researchers with all of the tools and technologies they need to work as efficiently and effectively as possible. With the rise of containerisation, the university saw an opportunity to further accelerate research by transforming its approach to compute and storage resource management through Kubernetes. # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_AI_podcast_|_Ubuntu⠀⇛ A podcast on open source, machine learning and levelling the playing field for data-driven innovation. In a world where generative AI and large language models (LLMs) are the new hot topics, having conversations about machine learning, MLOps or open source is a real need. This is what we had in mind when we first thought of Ubuntu AI, a podcast where we meet and have conversations about artificial intelligence, open source tooling, machine learning operations and the future of innovation. Ubuntu AI is a podcast that seeks to drive change in this vibrant community. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Arduino ☛ New_backscatter_technology_promises_cost- effective_reliability⠀⇛ Backscatter communication works by reflecting a signal emitted by the receiver. But in order for that reflected signal to carry information, the reflector (the backscatter “tag”) needs to be able to introduce some form of modulation. That might information might be as simple as a static identifier, but it can be dynamic as well. A self- driving car could, for example, read backscatter tags on road signs with information as simple as a speed limit or something more complex like the state of a traffic light. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ SnapBeat_is_a_DIY_lo-fi_sampler_that_anyone_can learn_to_use⠀⇛ SnapBeat was designed by Hiro Akihabara to be as simple as possible to use. It is therefore fairly limited in capability. But SnapBeat still provides enough functionality to be useful and fun. It is a bit like an advanced Talkboy (the fictional Home Alone 2 device that became a real toy), because it lets users record short clips and then play them back. It can record and store eight different clips at any given time through a line-in jack or the built-in microphone, then can play those back when the user pushes the corresponding key. A sound edit mode allows the user to cut and trim recorded clips. A metronome and “rhythm edit mode” help to make playback more musical. # ⚓ Jeff Geerling ☛ Time_Card_mini_adds_Pi,_GPS,_and_OCXO_to your_PC⠀⇛ This build centers around the Time Card mini. Typically you’d install this PCI Express card inside another computer, but in my case, I just wanted to power the board in a semi-portable way, and so I plugged it into a CM4 IO Board. The Time Card mini is a PCIe-based carrier board for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, and by itself, it allows you to install a CM4 into a PC, and access the CM4′s serial console via PCIe. # ⚓ Raspberry Pi ☛ The_four_elements_of_our_focus_on_impact⠀⇛ Like all our values, our focus on impact infuses all our work. There are four ways we put this value into practice in pursuit of our mission. # ⚓ Data Swamp ☛ Turning_a_15_years_old_laptop_into_a_children proof_retrogaming_station⠀⇛ This article explains a setup I made for our family vacation place, I wanted to turn an old laptop (a Dell Vostro 1500 from 2008) into a retrogaming station. That’s actually easy to do, but I wanted to make it “childproof” so it will always work even if we let children alone with the laptop for a moment, that part was way harder. This is not a tutorial explaining everything from A to Z, but mostly what worked / didn’t work from my experimentation. # ⚓ SparkFun Electronics ☛ Open_Sauce_Recap⠀⇛ Two weeks ago, we saw the introduction of Open Sauce, a two-day celebration of Makers and Creators at San Francisco’s Pier 35. This inaugural event promises to be the first of many, as its success already has people asking about tickets for next year’s event. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ ESP32_Freezer_Alarm_Keeps_Tabs_On_Tricky_Door⠀⇛ Leaving your freezer door open accidentally is a great way to make a huge mess in the kitchen. [Guy Dupont] had a freezer that would regularly fail to close properly, and was sick of the regular meltdown events. Thus, he whipped up a very digital solution. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § FSF⠀➾ # ⚓ FSF ☛ From_pro-democracy_activists_to_minorities:_Why people_use_Tor_and_encrypted_chats⠀⇛ Here’s your chance to discover the stories of people who protect their privacy with free software. We dug deep to reveal some of their stories, which is not easy because many people who care deeply about privacy choose to stay anonymous. Some of the stories are taken from research the Tor Project conducted to show who is using their browser and why. For that reason, they are reported here with special thanks to Tor. But the biggest thanks goes to all the people who dare to tell their stories in the first place. With our article “We have nothing to hide, only everything to protect,” we started a series of posts on privacy. And in the previous installment, we reported ongoing legislation that threatens end- to-end encryption and called you to take action. This third installment will introduce you to people who live in countries that disregard their rights, but who nevertheless fight for their rights by using free software to protect their privacy. We all deserve privacy, and, as you will see, it is vital for people living in a country that lacks legal certainty. # ⚓ FSF ☛ Working_together_for_free_software:_Meet_Ali “Miracle”_Abdulghani⠀⇛ My name is Ali Abdulghani. However, people call me alimiracle, which has been my nickname ever since the time I used Solaris. I’m a programmer, sysadmin, free software activist, and poet. I live in Iraq, and I graduated from college at the end of 2015 from the Department of English Literature, and not computer science. This is because I was not allowed to get a certificate of computer science in Iraq. I am blind, and the law here does not allow blind people to obtain a certificate of computer science, nor one from any other scientific field such as mathematics or physics. As for my blindness, I don’t know what was its exact cause. But I do remember that my father once told me I became blind a year after my birth. Later, when I asked the doctors how this happened, they said my blindness was caused by pollution due to wars. I still remember the beginning of my life with computers. A lot of people told me that the computer industry is not for blind people. They said that I couldn’t use a computer, that I shouldn’t even try. And, now, a lot of those people probably have no idea what I’ve been able to do with computers. I still have memories from when I was a child: no one wanted to play with me; they would tell me things like, “You’re blind. You’re different from me. Go and look for [another] blind person to play with.” o § Licensing / Legal⠀➾ # ⚓ TechCrunch ☛ Twitter,_now_X,_took_over_the_@x_handle without_warning_or_compensating_its_owner⠀⇛ The owner of the @x Twitter handle confirmed that the company, now known as X, took over his account without warning or financial compensation, telling him the handle is property of X. The handle had previously belonged to Gene X Hwang of the corporate photography and videography studio Orange Photography. In a letter, the company formerly known as Twitter thanked Hwang for his loyalty and offered him a selection of X merchandise and a tour of X’s HQ, as a “reflection of our appreciation.” The @x handle mishandling was only one of the many haphazard steps involved in the rebranding of Twitter to X, owner Elon Musk’s favorite letter. According to reports, Twitter didn’t secure the intellectual [sic] property [sic] rights [sic] to the “X” brand, as Microsoft, Meta and others have claims to various “X” trademarks. It also didn’t get permission from the city to remove the Twitter signage on the building, forcing police to stop the work. It didn’t fully update its website and app, which though now sporting an “X” still implored users to “search Twitter” or push a button to “Tweet.” o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Daniel Lemire ☛ Decoding_base16_sequences_quickly⠀⇛ In Parsing short hexadecimal strings efficiently, I examined the problem of decoding short sequences (e.g., 4 characters). A conventional parser can be based on table lookups, where unexpected characters are mapped to a special value (e.g., -1) but where the characters 0 to 9 are mapped to 0 to 9, and A to F are mapped to 10 to 15. A conventional decoder can rely on a simple routine such as… [...] # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Unleashing_the_Power_of_Cumulative_Mean_in_R:_A Step-by-Step_Guide⠀⇛ The cumulative mean, also known as the running mean or moving average, provides us with a dynamic view of how the average value of a dataset changes as new observations are added incrementally. It is an invaluable tool in time-series analysis, trend identification, and smoothing noisy data. Imagine you have a series of numeric values, and you want to find the average of the first observation, then the average of the first two observations, followed by the average of the first three, and so on. This iterative process generates the cumulative mean, painting a picture of how the data behaves over time. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Rust_Foundation_leads_security_enhancement drive_in_programming_ecosystem⠀⇛ Launched in September, the Rust Foundation’s Security Initiative was designed to bolster the security state within the Rust programming environment. The initiative received initial backing from Open Source Security Foundation’s Alpha-Omega project and Amazon Web Services Inc., allowing for the assembly of a technology team in the first quarter of this year. Armed with security and software engineering skills, the team received additional in-kind support from Rust Foundation members JFrog Ltd. and Google LLC, while infrastructure backing came from Wiz Inc. # § Python⠀➾ # ⚓ Andrew Healey ☛ Running_Untrusted_Python_Code⠀⇛ When the API receives some code, it spins up a new Python process. When the process starts, it has regular permissions and no resource limits. It then applies limits to itself (which can’t be revoked) and then calls the guest code with exec. After this last step, the process isn’t trusted. The input is source code and the output is stdout/stderr. I have side-stepped the common mistake of building a sandbox in application land e.g. by removing access to parts of of the runtime. # § Shell/Bash/Zsh/Ksh⠀➾ # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Use_While_Loop_in_Bash⠀⇛ While running bash scripts, you’ll come across times when you want to run tasks repeatedly such as printing the value of a variable in a specific pattern multiple times. o § Standards/Consortia⠀➾ # ⚓ European Commission ☛ Standard_forms_for_the_publication_of notices_in_the_field_of_public_procurement_(eForms)_– Amendment⠀⇛ The eForms may need to be adapted or amended in the light of the developments in Member States’ needs and technologies in the area of procurement data. Regular adjustments should be made to Regulation (EC) No 2019/1780 in its Annexes considering that public authorities are the principal buyers in many sectors such as energy, transport, waste management, social protection and provision of health or education services; the public sector can use procurement to boost jobs, growth and investment. [...] Committee: C16300 * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ The Verge ☛ The_little_search_engine_that_couldn’t⠀⇛ In a way, the brief flicker of Neeva’s existence tells everything you need to know about the last 20 years of search-engine supremacy. Building a search engine is hard. Building one better than Google is even harder. But if you want to beat Google, a better search engine is only the very beginning. And it only gets harder from there. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Wigglegram_Lens_With_Variable_Aperture⠀⇛ Wigglegrams are those weird animated pictures you’ve seen that seem to generate a 3D-like effect. [scealux] had built lenses to take such pictures before, but wanted to take things to the next level. Enter the Wigglegram Lens, version 2. o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Denim_Epoxy_Table_Is_A_Work_Of_Art⠀⇛ Epoxy has become a hugely popular material in the woodworking and furniture worlds. Who doesn’t love glossy, translucent finishes, after all? [Cam] recently spotted some neat combinations of epoxy with denim, and decided to see if he could replicate the technique to create a very unique desk. We’d say he succeeded. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Exploring_Tropical_Rainforest_Stratification Using_Space-Based_LiDAR⠀⇛ Even though it may seem like we have already explored every single square centimeter of the Earth, there are still many areas that are practically unmapped. These areas include the bottom of the Earth’s oceans, but also the canopy of the planet’s rainforests. Rather having herds of explorers clamber around in the upper reaches of these forests to take measurements, researchers decided to use LiDAR to create a 3D map of these forests (press release). o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ A_Simple_One-Handed_Solder_Feeder⠀⇛ Soldering can get frustrating when you’re working fast. It often feels like you don’t have enough hands, particularly on jobs where you need to keep feeding solder in a hurry. To solve that issue, [mulcmu] developed a simple one-handed solder feeder. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ CS Monitor ☛ Mexican_heirloom_corn_poised_for_a_renaissance in_American_cuisine⠀⇛ Corn is the most fundamental ingredient of Mexican cuisine, and it’s never far from the national conversation. Amid President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s move to ban the importation of genetically modified corn and his imposition of a 50% tariff on imported white corn, some scientists, chefs, and others are advocating for the value of the old varieties in an increasingly drought- stricken world. Heirloom varieties make up far less than 1% of total domestic corn production in Mexico. But for the first time in years, Mr. Vargas and others are hopeful about the crop. Some in the academic and public sectors hope to increase their production. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Ticks_are_causing_a_red_meat_allergy_in_a_growing number_of_Americans⠀⇛ According to new federal health data, 110,000 Americans have developed the novel allergy since 2010, caused by a disease known as Alpha-gal syndrome. However, a new report suggests that that true number could be as high as 450,000, and the CDC estimates that the number of annual cases is growing by about 15,000 each year. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Why_It’s_Hard_to_Track_Maternal_Deaths_Under Abortion_Bans⠀⇛ Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year, doctors have warned that limiting abortion care will make pregnancy more dangerous in a country that already has the highest maternal mortality rate among industrialized nations. The case of Mylissa Farmer, a Missouri woman, is one example. Last August, her water broke less than 18 weeks into her pregnancy, when her fetus was not viable. She was at risk for developing a life- threatening infection if she continued the pregnancy. Yet during three separate visits to emergency rooms, she was denied abortion care because her fetus still had a heartbeat. Doctors specifically cited the state’s new abortion law in her medical records and said they could not intervene until her condition worsened. She eventually traveled to Illinois for care. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Microsoft_cuts_1,000+_more_jobs⠀⇛ Hot off the heels of their stock soaring due to their advancements in artificial intelligence, and then dipping after not advancing AI fast enough, Microsoft has cut 1,000 more jobs. The most recent layoffs affected the deals and client administration divisions, as well as marketing and engineering project managers. With the layoffs, Microsoft eliminated its “Digital Sales and Success group,” which was aimed at sales and customer service. Microsoft also got rid of the customer solutions manager role. While the customer service department was largely affected, some employees were moved to customer success account management, Times of India shared. An additional report shared the tech giant cut 276 employees in their home offices in Washington. Sixty-six of those employees were virtual only, GeekWire shared. “Organizational and workforce adjustments are a necessary and regular part of managing our business. We will continue to prioritize and invest in strategic growth areas for our future and in support of our customers and partners,” a spokesperson for Microsoft said in a statement. These layoffs are separate from the 10,000 jobs that Microsoft cut earlier this year, and it is unclear why they are still laying off people in droves. Last week, Amazon laid off employees in their pharmacy division, creating uncertainty in their healthcare division. # ⚓ Bruce Schneier ☛ Fooling_an_AI_Article_Writer⠀⇛ World of Warcraft players wrote about a fictional game element, “Glorbo,” on a subreddit for the game, trying to entice an AI bot to write an article about it. It worked: [...] # ⚓ Large_language_models,_explained_with_a_minimum_of_math_and jargon⠀⇛ If you know anything about this subject, you’ve probably heard that LLMs are trained to “predict the next word,” and that they require huge amounts of text to do this. But that tends to be where the explanation stops. The details of how they predict the next word is often treated as a deep mystery. [...] To understand how language models work, you first need to understand how they represent words. Human beings represent English words with a sequence of letters, like C-A-T for cat. Language models use a long list of numbers called a word vector. For example, here’s one way to represent cat as a vector: [...] # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ FAA_says_it_does_not_use_ChatGPT_in_any systems⠀⇛ The clarification comes after the Department of Transportation earlier listed ChatGPT in a catalog of current AI use cases published on the department’s website. In that reference, the agency said the FAA — and in particular, the agency’s air traffic organization (ATO) — was using “ChatGPT in code writing assistance.” The file noted that the ChatGPT use case had been in production for less than a year and that ATO had not used agency training in its described work with the chatbot. # ⚓ India Times ☛ WhatsApp_announces_instant_video_messaging feature_for_users⠀⇛ Meta Platforms-owned instant messaging app WhatsApp on Thursday announced a new feature through which users can record and send short video messages in chats. # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Did_TETRA_Have_A_Backdoor_Hidden_In_Encrypted Police_And_Military_Radios?⠀⇛ Encrypted communications are considered vital for many organizations, from military users to law enforcement officers. Meanwhile, the ability to listen in on those communications is of great value to groups like intelligence agencies and criminal operators. Thus exists the constant arms race between those developing encryption and those desperately eager to break it. # § Windows TCO⠀➾ # ⚓ Security Week ☛ US_Senator_Wyden_Accuses_Microsoft_of ‘Cybersecurity_Negligence’⠀⇛ When Microsoft acknowledged the [breach] and the stolen MSA key, the software giant said Outlook.com and Exchange Online were the only applications known to have been affected via the token-forging technique but new research shows that the stolen key gave Chinese [crackers] access to data beyond Exchange Online and Outlook.com. The [breach], which led to the theft of email from approximately 25 organizations, turned into a bigger embarrassment for Microsoft when customers complained they had zero visibility to investigate because they were not paying for the high-tier E5/G5 license. After intense public pressure, the company announced it would expand logging defaults for lower-tier M365 customers. According to Senator Wyden, Microsoft never took responsibility for its role in the SolarWinds [breach] campaign and instead blamed federal agencies and customers while using the incident to promote its Azure AD product. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Crooks_pwned_your_servers?_You’ve got_four_days_to_tell_us,_SEC_tells_public_companies⠀⇛ The SEC proposed the changes last March, and on Wednesday the financial watchdog voted to adopt the requirements [PDF]. The rules, which take effect 30 days after being signed into the Federal Register later this year, will require publicly traded firms to openly disclose in a new section (Item 1.05) of Form 8-K any cybersecurity incident that has a material impact on their business. Companies must make this determination “without reasonable delay,” according to the new rules. If they decide a security breach is material, then they have four days to submit an Item 1.05 Form 8-K report detailing the material impact of the incident’s “nature, scope, and timing,” plus any impact or likely impact on the business. Those 8- K forms are made public by the SEC. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ Bleeping Computer ☛ Almost_40%_of_Ubuntu_users_vulnerable to_new_privilege_elevation_flaws [Ed: Some Linux badmouthing by Microsofter-connected media. Microsofters neglect to say that here, unlike with Windows, a patch exists already.]⠀⇛ Two Linux vulnerabilities introduced recently into the Ubuntu kernel create the potential for unprivileged local users to gain elevated privileges on a massive number of devices. Ubuntu is one of the most widely used Linux distributions, especially popular in the U.S., having an approximate user base of over 40 million. Two recent flaws tracked as CVE-2023-32629 and CVE- 2023-2640 discovered by Wiz’s researchers S. Tzadik and S. Tamari were recently introduced into the operating system, impacting roughly 40% of Ubuntu’s userbase. CVE-2023-2640 is a high-severity (CVSS v3 score: 7.8) vulnerability in the Ubuntu Linux kernel caused by inadequate permission checks allowing a local attacker to gain elevated privileges. CVE-2023-32629 is a medium-severity (CVSS v3 score: 5.4) flaw in the Linux kernel memory management subsystem, where a race condition when accessing VMAs may lead to use-after-free, allowing a local attacker to perform arbitrary code execution. # ⚓ Two_flaws_in_Linux_Ubuntu_affect_40%_of_Ubuntu_users [Ed: Microsofers are now reading from the same anti-Linux script/ screen while Azure is on fire and everything is compromised there]⠀⇛ Wiz Research discovered two privilege escalation vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2023-2640 and CVE- 2023-32629, in the OverlayFS module in the Linux distro Ubuntu. According to the researchers, the flaws impact 40% of the users of the popular Linux distribution. The researchers pointed out that impacted Ubuntu versions are prevalent in the cloud because they are the default operating systems for multiple CSPs. OverlayFS is a popular Linux filesystem that allows the deployment of dynamic filesystems based on pre- built images. Several changes to the OverlayFS module were introduced by Ubuntu in 2018. Wiz researchers noticed that modifications to the module introduced by the Linux kernel project in 2019 and 2022 conflicted with Ubuntu’s earlier changes. # ⚓ CXO Today ☛ Kaspersky_launches_specialized_solution_for Linux-based_embedded_devices [Ed: Letting proprietary software linked to the Kremlin manage "security" in Linux is worse than insane/inane]⠀⇛ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Thursday_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by Debian (curl), Fedora (kitty, mingw-qt5-qtbase, and mingw-qt6- qtbase), Mageia (cri-o, kernel, kernel-linus, mediawiki, and microcode), SUSE (chromium, conmon, go1.20-openssl, iperf, java-11-openjdk, kernel- firmware, and mariadb), and Ubuntu (libvirt, linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-5.4, linux-azure, linux-azure- 5.4, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-5.4, linux-gke, linux- gkeop, linux-hwe-5.4, linux-ibm, linux-ibm-5.4, linux-kvm, linux-oracle, linux-oracle-5.4, linux- raspi, linux-raspi-5.4, linux-xilinx-zynqmp, linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-hwe, linux-azure, linux-azure- 4.15, linux-dell300x, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-4.15, linux-hwe, linux-kvm, linux-oracle, linux- snapdragon, linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-lts- xenial, linux-aws-5.19, linux-gcp-5.19, linux-hwe- 5.19, linux-intel-iotg-5.15, linux-iot, llvm- toolchain-13, llvm-toolchain-14, llvm-toolchain-15, open-iscsi, open-vm-tools, and xorg-server-hwe- 16.04). # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Crooks_pwned_your_servers?_You’ve_got four_days_to_tell_us,_SEC_tells_public_companies⠀⇛ Public companies that suffer a computer crime likely to cause a “material” hit to an investor will soon face a four-day time limit to disclose the incident, according to rules approved today by the US Securities and Exchange Commission. The SEC proposed the changes last March, and on Wednesday the financial watchdog voted to adopt the requirements [PDF]. The rules, which take effect 30 days after being signed into the Federal Register later this year, will require publicly traded firms to openly disclose in a new section (Item 1.05) of Form 8-K any cybersecurity incident that has a material impact on their business. # ⚓ TechCrunch ☛ CardioComm,_a_provider_of_ECG_monitoring devices,_confirms_cyberattack_downed_its_services⠀⇛ CardioComm Solutions, a Canadian provider of consumer and professional-grade heart monitoring technologies, has been downed by an ongoing cybersecurity incident. The Toronto-based organization said on Tuesday that its business operations will be “impacted for several days and potentially longer” following a “cybersecurity incident on the Company’s servers.” At the time of writing, CardioComm’s website is unavailable and displaying a text-based message advising customers that the company is “experiencing down time [sic] to our services.” # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ Recent_NYS_audits_of_K-12_school_districts’ infosecurity⠀⇛ # ⚓ Pakistan ☛ Leaking_Someone’s_Personal_Data_Will_Cost_You_Up to_$2_Million_in_Pakistan⠀⇛ A fine which may extend to $2 million or an equivalent amount in Pakistani rupees would be levied on those who process or cause to be processed, disseminate, or disclose personal data in violation of any of the provisions of the “Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023”. The Ministry of Information, Technology and Telecommunication had submitted the “Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023”, to Federal Cabinet which was approved on Wednesday. # ⚓ IT Pro ☛ Deloitte_denies_Cl0p_data_breach_claims_in_wake_of MOVEit_attack⠀⇛ Deloitte has refuted claims that the Cl0p ransomware gang has breached its systems and stolen company data amid speculation online. The accountancy firm was cited as a victim on Cl0p’s breach disclosure blog, sparking concerns that clients at the consultancy could be at risk. In its disclosure, Cl0p claimed “the company doesn’t care about its customers” and that it “ignored their security”. # § Integrity/Availability/Authenticity⠀➾ # ⚓ 2023-07-02_—_2023-07-03_Tarsnap_outage_post-mortem⠀⇛ I promised a post-mortem three weeks ago after I brought the Tarsnap service back online. It took me an unforgivably long time to get around to writing this, but here it is. At approximately 2023-07-02 13:07:58 UTC, the central Tarsnap server (hosted in Amazon’s EC2 us-east-1 region) went offline suffering a “failed system status check”. As a virtual machine, this could mean many things, including a power outage, a hardware failure on the physical server, or an outage in EC2′s network; all I can say is that since I haven’t seen reports of any widespread EC2 issues at the same time, it was most likely just an isolated hardware fault. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ Truthdig ☛ How_Companies_Collect_Private_Data_About Reproductive_Health⠀⇛ Today, the business models of most technology or [Internet]-based companies are deeply connected to the large market for data. Most of these institutions aim to extract as much personal data from users and potential users as possible, from anywhere, by any means possible. Different actors then either sell or share this data or aggregate it and sell access to user profiles or insights into this data. This system also enables governments to gain access to people’s private information. State institutions policing people’s reproductive or other rights can either request access to people’s private information from companies, require them by law to submit information through a subpoena, or even buy data sets on the market. Therefore, a wider focus on how companies collect data and monetize it needs to be part of the analysis. # ⚓ Society for Scholarly Publshing ☛ Are_We_Finally Thread(s)_Up_with_Social_Media?⠀⇛ Other social media options such as Mastodon, Bluesky, Post, or Spoutible all seem to have a niche but not robust following with Mastodon perhaps making the strongest showing among academics, researchers, and journalists. All of these have their own issues with, well, not being Twitter. As Elon Musk announces or promotes more degradation of his site (a rebranding as X is apparently not a joke) will we all eventually have to move off – or is the strength of Twitter for communication such that it will withstand another round of competition? # ⚓ Futurism ☛ I_Let_Sam_Altman’s_Worldcoin_Scan_My Eyeballs_With_a_Orb,_and_They_Didn’t_Even_Pay_Me_ [Cryptocurrency]⠀⇛ The project has also already run into numerous reality problems. During its beta, reporters found that the company had been scanning people’s eyes in the developing world without providing much in the way of informed consent, and that many people who had been scanned felt that they’d been cheated by the exchange. Another inconvenient detail that the company has refused to comment on: one of its earlier backers was the now-disgraced Sam Bankman-Fried, whose [cryptocurrency] exchange FTX exploded in spectacular fashion late last year. Even elder statesmen of [cryptoccurrency] seem skeptical; Vitalik Buterin, the founder of the Ethereum blockchain on which Worldcoin is based, criticized the project this week for what he characterized as issues around privacy, accessibility and security. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Congress_Pretends_It’s_Fixed_All_The Problems_With_KOSA;_It_Hasn’t⠀⇛ On Wednesday, the Senate revealed an amended version of the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) for today’s hearing over the bill. One would hope with so much public pushback over the bill, they might do something crazy like trying to fix the bill. # ⚓ EFF ☛ Deja_Vu:_The_FBI_Proves_Again_it_Can’t_be Trusted_with_Section_702⠀⇛ How many times will the FBI get caught with their hand in the cookie jar of our constitutionally protected private communications without losing these invasive and unconstitutional powers? The latest exhibit in this is in yet another newly declassified opinion of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). This opinion further reiterates what we already know, that the Federal Bureau of Investigation simply cannot be trusted with conducting foreign intelligence queries on American persons.  Regardless of the rules, or consistent FISC disapprovals, the FBI continues to act in a way that shows no regard for privacy and civil liberties. According to the declassified FISC ruling, despite paper reforms which the FBI has touted that it put into place to respond to the last time it was caught violating U.S. law, the Bureau conducted four queries for the communications of a state senator and a U.S. senator.  And they did so without even meeting their own  already-inadequate standards for these kinds of searches. # ⚓ EFF ☛ Maryland_Supreme_Court:_Police_Can’t_Search Digital_Data_When_Users_Revoke_Consent⠀⇛ Under the Fourth Amendment, police can search your home, your computer, and other private spaces without a warrant or even probable cause if you freely and voluntarily consent to the search. But even when someone consents to a search, they should be able to change their mind. Say, for example, if a lawyer gives them better advice. But as a recent case from the Maryland Supreme Court demonstrates, searches of digital data stored on electronic devices raise unique questions about consent. If you consent to a search of your computer and police make a copy of the data on the computer, can they still examine that copy if you withdraw that consent? In State v. McDonnell, the Maryland Supreme Court sensibly answered no. In June 2019, police officers visited Mr. McDonnell’s home and requested to search his home, computer, and phone as part of their investigation into the distribution of child pornography . Mr. McDonnell originally declined the search, but later signed a consent form allowing the agents to search his home and seize his phone and computer. The form included a clause stating that “I understand that I may withdraw my consent at any time.” After Mr. McDonnell’s electronics had been seized and their contents copied, but before the contents had been examined, Mr. McDonnell’s lawyer sent an email withdrawing consent to “the seizure of [Mr. McDonnell’s] laptop, or examination of its contents.” But agents searched the contents of the computer anyway. McDonnell moved to suppress the evidence that came from the search of his computer after he had revoked his consent. It is incorrect to claim that a person lacks a reasonable expectation of privacy for the copy of computer data after they have revoked their consent # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Meta’s_Reels_revenue_narrows_in on_rival_TikTok⠀⇛ Reels, Meta Platforms’ answer to viral short- form video app TikTok, elicited eyerolls when it launched in 2020 and was regarded as yet another example of Meta copying a popular rival. But Meta has revealed numbers that show Reels videos are growing rapidly among both users and advertisers and are quickly catching up to the ByteDance-owned TikTok app that is beloved by young users and has reshaped the social media landscape. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Helicopter_crash_in_Altai_kills_six_—_Meduza⠀⇛ TASS reports, citing the region’s emergency services, that six people have been killed and seven others injured in the crash of an Mi- 8 helicopter in the Altai Republic. # ⚓ El País ☛ Millions_of_American_whites_prefer_a dictatorship⠀⇛ Polls show that Joe Biden and Donald Trump are tied in the presidential race, even though the latter has said he would suspend parts of the Constitution and construct an all-powerful executive branch with him as the head # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Niger:_The_Sahel’s_last_bastion_of stability_at_risk⠀⇛ But now, even the semblance of stability in Niger is gone. Members of the Presidential Guard arrested the head of state, Mohamed Bazoum. A military spokesman on state TV declared the president deposed and the institutions of the Republic dissolved. # ⚓ New York Times ☛ What’s_Behind_the_Coup_Attempt_in_Niger?⠀⇛ Col. Amadou Abdramane, a spokesman for those attempting the coup, read out a printed statement justifying their actions as a response to “the deteriorating security situation and bad social and economic governance.” Niger faces several Islamist insurgencies in its southern region, and people across the country have been feeling the strain from the rising cost of living. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Donald_Trump_accused_of_asking_staffer_to delete_camera_footage_in_Florida_classified_documents_case⠀⇛ The indictment includes new counts of obstruction and willful retention of national defense information, compounding Trump’s legal jeopardy even as he braces for a possible additional indictment in Washington over his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The additional counts underscore the extent of the yearlong investigation into Trump that first produced charges last month in the form of a 38-count indictment against Trump and his valet, Walt Nauta. # ⚓ Axios ☛ Trump_charged_with_retaining_classified_document_he bragged_about_on_tape⠀⇛ The big picture: Trump, his aide Walt Nauta and a new defendant, Mar-a-Lago maintenance worker Carlos de Oliveira, were also charged in Thursday’s superseding indictment with two new counts of obstruction of justice. # ⚓ Hong Kong Free Press ☛ Hong_Kong_47:_‘Destruction’_of_Basic Law,_if_courts_believe_calls_for_democracy_are_subversive, ex-journalist_tells_trial⠀⇛ Ho, who was called to the witness stand for the eighth day on Wednesday, testified previously that she had predicted that her public opposition to the national security law would cause her to be disqualified. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ TikTok_set_to_sell_Chinese products_in_the_US_soon⠀⇛ According to the reports, the widely popular short- form video hosting app will launch an e-commerce platform in the US to sell made-in-China goods. This strategic step could help TikTok compete with other leading shopping platforms. # ⚓ The Atlantic ☛ TikTok_Is_Doing_Something_Very_Un-TikTok⠀⇛ TikTok has seemingly become a shopping app. The platform now allows approved retailers to list their products for sale directly on TikTok, where creators like Wagner can promote them and earn a small fee from each purchase. (TikTok, of course, also takes a portion of each sale.) The feature, called TikTok Shop, is still technically in testing mode in the United States, but videos mentioning products you can buy already seem to be sliding into user feeds right next to videos of dogs doing something silly or clips from old movies. Meanwhile, the app’s livestreams have become QVC- like places where sellers are nonstop pitching products to live audiences. # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ USAID_delivers_drones_to_Ukraine_for_war crime_documentation⠀⇛ The agency has been a part of joint war crimes documentation visits with Ukraine’s Office of the Ombudsman for Human Rights and supported two Ukrainian human rights coalitions that “have documented more than 40,000 incidents of Russia’s war crimes since February 24, 2022,” the USAID said. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ US_Republicans_urge_funding_for_local subs_amid_AUKUS⠀⇛ Twenty-five US Republican lawmakers have urged President Joe Biden to increase funding for the country’s submarine fleet, citing the AUKUS project to supply Australia with nuclear-powered submarines and concern about China’s increasing military might. “We support the vision of the Australia-United Kingdom-United States (AUKUS) partnership and its potential to change the strategic landscape in the Indo-Pacific,” the lawmakers said in a letter. # ⚓ Site36 ☛ German_anti-terrorism_exercise:_Police_and military_practice_together_in_Bavaria⠀⇛ # ⚓ The Gray Zone ☛ Is_British_intelligence_pushing_a_new_war in_Kosovo?⠀⇛ # § War in Ukraine⠀➾ # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Moscow_mayor_reports_‘attempted_attack_by enemy_drone’_—_Meduza⠀⇛ According to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, an attack by an “enemy drone” was prevented in Moscow on the night of July 28. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Ukraine’s_Armed_Forces_announce_liberation of_Staromaiorske_in_Donetsk_region_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Ukraine’s military says they have taken the village of Staromaiorske in one of the main directions of the offensive in the south of the country.

It also said wouldn’t engage in questionable CFAA prosecutions that appeared to involve nothing more than unapproved (or unexpected) access to data. Both of those self-imposed restrictions seem to have been ignored in a case involving former Deadspin contributor Tim Burke and some recordings Fox News clearly didn’t want made public. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Assange_supporters_call_for_release ahead_of_US_talks⠀⇛ Supporters of imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange have urged Australian ministers to push for his release when they meet with their US counterparts. Defence Minister Richard Marles and Foreign Minister Penny Wong will told talks with Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin in Brisbane on Friday as part of the annual AUSMIN meetings, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese also attending. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Omicron Limited ☛ Oceans_are_growing_hotter,_triggering global_weather_disasters⠀⇛ Hot oceans are amplifying weather-driven catastrophes that are claiming lives and inflicting massive economic damages—a cost that could rise to $1 trillion per year in the coming decades, according to marine scientist Deborah Brosnan. They’re also accelerating climate change. As water temperatures rise, oceans lose their ability to serve a vital function: absorb the world’s excess heat. # ⚓ teleSUR ☛ Canada_Wildfire_Carbon_Emissions_Exceed_1_Bln Tonnes⠀⇛ Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide emitted by the wildfires in Canada have a noticeable impact on global warming and the wildfires have evolved into a global environmental event, said Liu. According to the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Center (CIFFC), as of July 26, there were 4,774 fires across the country, and the cumulative fire area has exceeded 121,000 square kilometers. # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Sizing_up_Big_Food’s_Appetite_for_Change⠀⇛ “Eating less meat is like taking 8 [million] cars off road”. Last week’s BBC headline is the kind that’s guaranteed to strike fear into the heart of food corporations, which are increasingly under pressure to cut pollution, just like the fossil fuel industry. The evidence against big agriculture’s role in driving the climate crisis is growing. A March study found that without decisive action, emissions from the food system alone will push the planet over 1.5C of global warming. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ ‘Concrete_Coffins’:_Surviving_Extreme_Heat Behind Bars⠀⇛ Record temperatures in much of the U.S. threatening more people in prisons. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ A_Piss-Poor_Argument⠀⇛ “A Piss-Poor Argument,” a new original cartoon by the inimitable Mr. Fish, explores the high hilarity of human extinction. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Report_claims_super_funds_are_lying_to their_members_on_climate_risk⠀⇛ A 2022 climate report from one Aussie super fund caused controversy with its estimate that a 4.3℃ temperature rise presented an “acceptable” risk to the fund’s portfolio. A new report claims that such numbers come from climate-risk consultants who’ve been peddling dodgy advice to funds for years. Zacharias Szumer reports. Late last year, a climate report from Aussie pension fund UniSuper caused a stir. Buried somewhere in the latter pages of Climate Risks and Our Investments: Investing in a Bright Future, was an assessment that, even under a “worst case” scenario of a 4.3℃ temperature rise, “the overall risk to [UniSuper’s] portfolio is acceptable”.  # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ H2 View ☛ Ballard_to_supply_3.6MW_of_fuel_cells_for Canadian_Pacific_hydrogen_locomotive_programme⠀⇛ The order covering 18 200kW fuel cell engines, adds to previous orders of 20 fuel cell engines at a combined 4MW of power, that have been used in three different locomotives which in 2022 and early 2023 have undergone field tests. CPKC has said its prototype hydrogen-powered locomotive in 2022 racked up over 1,000 miles of testing in revenue service. # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ Landlords_Are_Threatening_to_Evict Tenants_for_Using_Air_Conditioning_in_British Columbia⠀⇛ A struggle over air conditioning in British Columbia is highlighting the need to protect tenants as temperatures soar around the world. Last week, landlords in the province warned renters that installing air conditioning units could get them kicked out of their homes and discouraged tenants from installing equipment. Some landlords argue electrical systems in older buildings can’t handle the demand, and others worry about damage leaking window units might cause to buildings. Tenants worry about suffering, even dying, during sweltering heat. It is the tenants’ worries that should take precedence here — AC ought to be universally accessible, and it ought to be illegal to prevent anyone from using it in their homes. # ⚓ India Times ☛ US_congressional_committee_fails_to reach_deal_on_stablecoin_bill,_chair_says⠀⇛ The top Republican and Democrat on the U.S. House Financial Services committee on Thursday said they had failed to come to an agreement on a bill to establish a federal regulatory framework for stablecoins, a type of cryptocurrency typically pegged to a traditional asset, often the U.S. dollar. The bill would have the U.S. Federal Reserve write requirements for issuing stablecoins while preserving the authority of state regulators, and was previously modified to address concerns from some Democrats that stablecoin issuers could evade stricter oversight by opting to be regulated under a state regime. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Car-carrying_ship_off_Dutch_coast still_burning⠀⇛ The coast guard said the cause of the fire was unknown. The ship’s Japanese owner said there was a “good chance that the fire started with electric cars,” but added that the cause still needs to be investigated. # ⚓ DeSmog ☛ Why_Polluters’_Greenwashing_Works_and_How_to Fight_It⠀⇛ A young man goes up a mountain to study the terrain and collect data on his laptop, while epic, orchestral violins play in the background. He’s an ExxonMobil scientist in a company ad that also shows other scientists in a high-tech lab working to develop “low- carbon technologies.” The tagline reads “Advancing Climate Solutions.”  The ad uses natural landscapes, futuristic- looking environments, and emotional music to evoke a positive feeling in viewers and to promote the idea that ExxonMobil is not only associated with sustainable business choices but also supporting climate solutions, rather than producing polluting fossil fuels and investing in high-carbon activities that cause climate change. To top it all off, the claim in the tagline promotes the perception that ExxonMobil, and fossil fuel companies more generally, are “part of the solution.”  o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Nikkei ☛ Indonesia_startups_hit_by_layoffs_but_workers still_harbor_hopes⠀⇛ Pandji Putranda was laid off twice by startups during the pandemic: in November 2021, when a creative content marketing provider axed staffers, and a year later, when a financial services platform did the same. “In a five-to-10-minute town hall, the company announced that the office would cut 18 staff in the marketing division,” Putranda, currently a freelance marketing specialist and strategist, told Nikkei Asia about the second experience. # ⚓ Yahoo News ☛ Canaccord_Cuts_6%_of_US_Staff_as_Deal_Slowdown Hits_Revenue⠀⇛ Canadian investment bank Canaccord Genuity Group Inc. cut about 25 people in its US capital markets unit in response to a slowdown in dealmaking and new equity issues. # ⚓ CEO_of_royal_banker_Coutts_resigns_amid_furor_over_closure of_politician_Nigel_Farage’s_account⠀⇛ The chief executive of Coutts Bank, long known as the bankers for Britain’s royal family and nobility, has stepped down amid the furor surrounding populist politician Nigel Farage’s complaints that his account was closed because of his political views. CEO Peter Flavel’s resignation came just a day after Coutts owner NatWest Group parted ways with its CEO, Alison Rose, the first woman to head one of Britain’s four big banks. Rose left after acknowledging that she had discussed Farage’s personal details with a journalist. # ⚓ Michael West Media ☛ Retail_trade_dips_as_early_sales_snare bargain_hunters⠀⇛ Retail trade has sunk 0.8 per cent in latest figures after shoppers spent less than usual during end of year sales.

The Health Services Union on Friday said the offer had passed with 54 per cent support of its members after being negotiated in lieu of a percentage increase. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ No_Mercy:_We_Have_Stepped_Over_A_Line_Into the_Inhumane⠀⇛ Zealously following the GOP dictate to inflict mindless, bloody cruelty on vulnerable people, Texas’ Greg Abbott has created a hellhole state that tortures migrants – razor wire “death traps” in the Rio Grande, troops pushing children back in the water, no drinks in extreme heat, bussed out of sight. It’s also killing workers and inmates, stripping health care and boosting harrowing, nonviable births, all in the name of “preventing (imaginary) bad things from happening.” To the ghoul in charge: They already are. # ⚓ India Times ☛ Alarmed_by_AI’s_potential,_US_Senate_to summon_experts⠀⇛ US senators, alarmed by the malevolent potential of artificial intelligence, will summon developers, executives and experts for hearings later this year on possible legislative safeguards, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Thursday. There is “real bipartisan interest in AI, which will be necessary if we want to make progress on what really is an imperative for this country – putting together AI legislation that encourages innovation but has the safeguards to prevent the liabilities that AI could present,” Schumer said. Speaking on the Senate floor, Schumer, the chamber’s leading Democrat, said the Senate would convene what he called “the first-ever AI Insight Forums” to hear what experts had to say. # ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ Big_Numbers_Are_Difficult_To_Contextualise⠀⇛ Big numbers are hard for us to get our heads around. I remember being told that the reason Civil Service offices didn’t have free tea and coffee (a standard perk in most British offices) is that the total cost was just too big. A tuppence per tea-bag is small, but multiplied by half-a-million employees drinking 3 cups per day over a working year – and suddenly there are headlines about how tax-payers are being fleeced for millions of pounds. # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ YouTube_to_introduce_‘three- strike’_policy_for_viewers_who_use_ad_blockers⠀⇛ Moreover, the folks at Android Authority confirmed that the platform is testing a three-strike policy for ad blocking. The statement given to the website sheds more light on YouTube’s decision to block video players for users who watch three consecutive videos with the ad blocker enabled. # ⚓ El País ☛ ‘Right-wing_bias’:_A_macro_study_confirms_that Facebook_disinformation_is_consumed_by_conservatives⠀⇛ Facebook is a network dominated by conservative news and its right-wing users are the ones who overwhelmingly consume information labeled as false. The data confirming these two hypotheses comes from academic research that had unprecedented access to internal Facebook data provided by Meta. These findings are based on the aggregated activity of 208 million U.S. users over several months around the 2020 US elections. The study, led by Spanish researcher Sandra González-Bailón of the University of Pennsylvania, is part of a series of four papers analyzing Meta social media’s impact on increasing political polarization, which were published Thursday in the journals Science and Nature. # ⚓ AAAS ☛ Asymmetric_ideological_segregation_in_exposure_to political_news_on_Facebook⠀⇛ Does Facebook enable ideological segregation in political news consumption? We analyzed exposure to news during the US 2020 election using aggregated data for 208 million US Facebook users. We compared the inventory of all political news that users could have seen in their feeds with the information that they saw (after algorithmic curation) and the information with which they engaged. We show that (i) ideological segregation is high and increases as we shift from potential exposure to actual exposure to engagement; (ii) there is an asymmetry between conservative and liberal audiences, with a substantial corner of the news ecosystem consumed exclusively by conservatives; and (iii) most misinformation, as identified by Meta’s Third-Party Fact-Checking Program, exists within this homogeneously conservative corner, which has no equivalent on the liberal side. Sources favored by conservative audiences were more prevalent on Facebook’s news ecosystem than those favored by liberals. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Senators_propose_creating_new_agency_for regulating_big_tech⠀⇛ Senators Elizabeth Warren and Lindsey Graham are sponsoring a bill that would establish a new agency for regulating big tech companies. The bill, which is known as the Digital Consumer Protection Commission Act of 2023, was detailed today. If passed, it would establish an agency called the Digital Consumer Protection Commission. The agency would be tasked with regulating big tech firms’ activities across several different areas. # ⚓ Press Gazette ☛ Charted:_Google_and_Meta’s_growing advertising_spend_in_the_UK⠀⇛ Google and Meta spent a record amount on advertising in the UK last year as the tech giants came under greater regulatory pressure in Westminster. According to Nielsen, estimates shared with Press Gazette show Google’s ad spend in the UK in 2022 was £195m, up 16% from 2021. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ OpenAI_and_Google_Form_New_Group_to_Self- Regulate_Their_AI⠀⇛ “Companies creating AI technology have a responsibility to ensure that it is safe, secure, and remains under human control,” Microsoft president Brad Smith said in the statement. “This initiative is a vital step to bring the tech sector together in advancing AI responsibly and tackling the challenges so that it benefits all of humanity.” In other words, it’s a stab at AI industry self- regulation. But while it is good to see major industry players join forces to establish some best practices for responsible AI development, self- regulation has some serious limitations. After all, with no ability for the government to actually enforce any of the Frontier Model Forum’s rules through actions like sanctions, fines, or criminal proceedings, the body, at least for now, is mostly symbolic. Extracurricular group activity energy. # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ Donald_Trump_May_Face_4_Indictments_by Election_Day._Here’s_the_Breakdown.⠀⇛ A federal indictment stemming from the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is expected this week. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Fact_check:_Russia’s_influence_on Africa⠀⇛ At the last UN General Assembly in February, countries such as Botswana, Zambia and Tunisia voted for “just and lasting” peace in Ukraine, while Mali and Eritrea voted against it, and 15 other African countries abstained during the vote. Russia’s influence on African countries might play a role in this. But how exactly does Russia strengthen pro-Russian and anti- Western narratives? Here are some of the most important questions and answers. # ⚓ NPR ☛ Meta’s_Threads_needs_a_policy_for_election disinformation,_voting_groups_say⠀⇛ The voting rights groups say they have cause for concern. During the past few elections, disinformation involving voter registration, polling places and political candidates was rampant on social media. In 2018, the Cambridge Analytica scandal exposed how that company used Facebook to target and manipulate swing voters. And in 2020, mentions of “stolen election” and “voter fraud” skyrocketed after President Joe Biden won the presidency. “Misinformation, like social media itself, has gotten considerably more sophisticated,” said Bond Benton, communications associate professor who studies misinformation at Montclair State University. “There are ways that you can manipulate and game the system to get misinformation seen by a lot of people very rapidly. And if you’re not investing to prevent and curtail that, it’s going to find its way through.” # ⚓ New York Times ☛ Facebook’s_Algorithm_Is ‘Influential’_but_Doesn’t_Necessarily_Change_Beliefs, Researchers_Say⠀⇛ At the same time, the consumption of political news on Facebook and Instagram was highly segregated by ideology, according to another study. More than 97 percent of the links to news stories rated as false by fact checkers on the apps during the 2020 election drew more conservative readers than liberal readers, the research found. The studies, which were published in the journals Science and Nature, provide a contradictory and nuanced picture of how Americans have been using — and have been affected by — two of the world’s biggest social platforms. The conflicting results suggested that understanding social media’s role in shaping discourse may take years to unwind. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘Nazi_satanists_are_entrenched_in_the_holy Russian_city_of_Kyiv’_:_The_Kremlin’s_guide_for covering_an_upcoming_religious_holiday_instructs propagandists_to_push_territorial_claims_to_Ukraine_and Poland⠀⇛ Meduza has obtained a copy of the Putin administration’s latest instructions for state-owned and pro-government news outlets. The document outlines exactly what the Kremlin wants its propaganda media to tell Russians about the upcoming anniversary of the “Baptism of Rus,” referring to the conversion of Kyivan Rus ruler Volodymyr the Great to Christianity in 988, which the country celebrates on July 28. The guide tells journalists to refer to the event as a “key turning point in Russian history” and the “point of formation of Russia’s statehood.” It also instructs them to emphasize that having a “common faith” is what allowed the “East Slavic tribes” to become a “unified people.” # ⚓ RFERL ☛ ‘Information_War’:_Russian_Actors_Identified In_Purported_German_Video_Against_Ukraine_Aid⠀⇛ At the end, the 1-minute film reports that Germany has provided 22 billion euros ($24.2 billion) of assistance to Ukraine since 2022, before concluding with the officers confiscating the boy’s toy stuffed leopard, a reference to the advanced Leopard battle tanks Germany has sent to Kyiv in recent months to fight off Russia’s massive invasion. “If you are at home in NATO, learn to expect NATO in your home,” the clip cautions. Although there is no information in the video about who produced it, some of the Russian social-media channels distributing it claimed it was made by the far-right German political party Alternative for Deutschland (AfD). o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Techdirt_Has_Been_Deleted_From_Bing_And DuckDuckGo⠀⇛ A few months ago, Jack Yan pointed out to me that if they did a search for Techdirt on DuckDuckGo, it showed only one single link which was (bizarrely) to a random story from like eight years ago. There were literally no other results for Techdirt. I replicated it, but was travelling, and by the time I went back to write about it a few days later, everything seemed back to normal (in the interim there were a few days where it just found a couple hundred Techdirt posts). Jack wrote a short blog post on his own site about it. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Copyright_Self_Censorship_Denies_Us_Another Updated_Version_Of_An_Abandoned_Game⠀⇛ And here we go again. We have been talking about both the concept of video game preservation being lost to the copyright gods, as well as how copyright often prevents fan-made creations and content around game franchises, for years and years now. Both topics are quite frustrating and both serve as examples of how copyright law and its modern application appear to be getting in the way of its stated purpose: the proliferation of content and culture. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ ‘If_I_stay_silent,_my_heart_will_burst’_:_How_a Russian_surgeon_went_from_believing_Kremlin_propaganda_to risking_her_freedom_to_oppose_the_war⠀⇛ Olga Avdeyeva is a surgeon and mother of five from Izhevsk, the capital of Russia’s Republic of Udmurtia. In August 2022, she left an anti-war message beneath a large Z symbol on the side of the local theater that she passed every day on her way to work. Almost a year later, Olga was charged with “discrediting” the Russian Armed Forces. She’s now facing a fine of up to 300,000 rubles ($3,330) or up to five years in prison, but she insists she has no regrets. The independent outlet 7×7 recently told Avdeyeva’s story. Meduza retells it in English. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Indonesia_Blocks_Twitter,_Thinking_the_“X”_Was_a Porn_Thing⠀⇛ In other words, Musk’s eleventh-hour rebrand is ruffling all kinds of feathers — which doesn’t bode well, considering he promised investors last year that “Twitter 2.0″ will have 1 billion users by 2024. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ Sweden:_Quran_burning_protests_leave_PM ‘very_concerned’⠀⇛ Von Essen said Sweden had become a “priority” target among Islamists after recent Quran desecrations in the country and in neighboring Denmark provoked widespread anger among Muslims globally. # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ Journalism_group_condemns_fines_on_streaming services_over_‘family_values’⠀⇛ The Turkish Journalists Association (TGC) has expressed its disapproval of the fines imposed by the Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) on streaming platforms including Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, MUBI, Bein, and Blu TV. # ⚓ Reason ☛ A_Professor_Criticized_a_Public_Official._Then_Her University_Suspended_Her.⠀⇛ By the end of the day, Alonzo was placed on paid leave by Texas A&M, and the school had opened an investigation into her comments. It took two weeks for the university to clear her of wrongdoing. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Elon’s_‘Zero_Tolerance’_Policy_On_CSAM Apparently_Does_Not_Apply_To_Conspiracy_Theorist_Accounts_He Likes⠀⇛ You may recall that early on in Elon’s ownership of Twitter, he insisted that “removing child exploitation is priority #1” while exhorting his supporters to “reply in the comments” if they saw any. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ To_Foster_Competition_In_Social_Media,_Invest_In Open_Source_Trust_And_Safety_Tools⠀⇛ Over the last decade, a small handful of large platforms have become de facto arbiters of how people communicate and share information with one another. As concerns about that concentrated power and those platforms’ decisions have piled up, so too have calls for greater competition and choice in social media and other services for communication and sharing. While some of the debate has focused on making it easier for people to leave behind large, incumbent services, it’s also turned to how to ensure people have somewhere to go – that is, a vibrant ecosystem of alternative services that can reflect different and distinct community norms and practices. The growth of decentralized services like Bluesky and Mastodon is one manifestation of this trend. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ CPJ ☛ Russian_authorities_in_Crimea_detain_2_journalists; Kulamet_Ibraimov_remains_in_custody⠀⇛ The journalists work with the human rights group Crimean Solidarity. Zudiyeva is also a correspondent for the Ukrainian media project Graty and Ibraimov is a correspondent for independent Russian news website Grani, according to the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine, reports by Graty and Crimean Solidarity, and Graty editor Anton Naumlyuk, who spoke to CPJ via messaging app. o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ Truthdig ☛ LA_Landlords_Are_Renting_Low-Cost_Housing_to Tourists⠀⇛ After we published our initial story, the mayor’s office asked the Housing Department to account for how some residential hotels had apparently turned into tourist lodging and how it could prevent these transformations from happening in the future. The Housing Department said that it would report back by the end of August. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Sam_Altman_Says_Sorry,_AI_Is_Definitely Destroying_Jobs⠀⇛ While it would be a stretch to say that Altman doesn’t care about people’s livelihoods — his other project, Worldcoin, is underpinned by a desire for a crypto-based universal basic income — it’s not exactly a great feeling to be told by a tech leader with a net worth estimated between $250 and $500 million that his technology is going to result in job loss. # ⚓ Atlantic Council ☛ Russia’s_mass_abduction_of_Ukrainian children_may_qualify_as_genocide⠀⇛ Russian efforts to justify the deportations on humanitarian grounds are undermined by widespread evidence of indoctrination programs designed to pressure children into abandoning their Ukrainian identity and adopting Russian nationality. If Ukrainian children are being taken to Russia purely for their own safety, why is it necessary to brainwash them with Kremlin propaganda and turn them into Russian citizens? The available evidence indicates that Russian efforts to indoctrinate abducted Ukrainian children are both systematic and extensive. A February 2023 report published by the Yale School of Public Health identified a large-scale Russian initiative to re-educate thousands of abducted Ukrainian children via a network of more than 40 camps and facilities stretching from Russian-occupied Crimea to Siberia. “This is not one rogue camp, this is not one rogue mayor or governor,” said Yale Humanitarian Research Lab executive director Nathaniel Raymond. “This is a massive logistical undertaking that does not happen by accident.” # ⚓ Axios ☛ Low-wage_earners_are_14_times_more_likely_to_lose jobs_to_AI,_report_finds⠀⇛ By the numbers: 11.8 million workers in these occupations may need to find a new kind of job by 2030, the report says. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Women_are_1.5_times_more_likely_than_men_to_lose their_jobs_to_AI⠀⇛ The report, released this week by the McKinsey Global Institute, projects that nearly a third of hours worked in the US could be automated by the end of the decade. Thanks to automation and AI, 12 million people will need to change jobs—and women will be 1.5 times more likely to have to find new roles. That’s because women make up more of the workforce in lower-paying industries, like office work and customer service, which the report projects will shrink more significantly thanks to automation and AI. People in lower-wage jobs, it adds, could be up to 14 times more likely to need to shift occupations than those that pay the highest. # ⚓ Reason ☛ A_SWAT_Team_Destroyed_an_Innocent_Man’s_Shop._Then the_City_Left_Him_With_the_Bill.⠀⇛ In early August of last year, after a fugitive violently thrust Pena from his shop and barricaded himself inside, a SWAT team from the City of Los Angeles fired more than 30 rounds of tear gas canisters over the course of 13 hours. When the government entered the building, the officers found their target had escaped. Left inside was a shop that was a shell of itself, with Pena’s inventory ruined and the bulk of his equipment unusable. Pena didn’t fault the city for attempting to subdue an allegedly dangerous person. But he objected to what came next: The government refused his requests for compensation, strapping him with expenses that exceed $60,000 and a situation that has cost him tens of thousands of dollars in revenue, as he has been resigned to working at a much-reduced capacity out of his garage, according to a lawsuit he filed this month in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. “Apprehending a dangerous fugitive is in the public interest,” the suit notes. “The cost of apprehending such fugitives should be borne by the public, and not by an unlucky and entirely innocent property owner.” # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Mississippi_Is_an_Outlier_in_Jailing_People During_Civil_Commitment⠀⇛ If you or someone you know needs help: Nearly 40 years ago, a federal appeals court ruled that Alabama officials could not jail people in mental health crisis who were sent to the state for help. Jailing people going through the state’s civil commitment process, the court decided, amounted to punishment. And about 30 years ago, after Kentucky was labeled the worst state in the nation for jailing mentally ill people without charges, legislators there banned it. # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ They_Needed_Treatment._Mississippi_Threw_Them in_Jail_Without_Charges.⠀⇛ When sheriff’s department staff in Mississippi’s Benton County took Jimmy Sons into custody several years ago, they followed their standard protocol for people charged with a crime: They took his mug shot, fingerprinted him, had him change into an orange jumpsuit and locked him up. # ⚓ Meduza ☛ Chechen_authorities_denying_passports_to_residents under_30_if_older_relatives_are_not_present_—_Meduza⠀⇛ Chechnya’s Interior Ministry has begun refusing to issue foreign passports to residents younger than 30 if the applicants are not accompanied by older relatives. The agency said in response to a complaint by lawyer Alexander Nemov that the policy is intended to ensure that “the goals of a trip are not contrary to the interests of the Russian Federation,” according to the crisis group SK SOS. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ Racism_Unleashed:_Attack_Dogs_Maul,_Bite_& Terrorize_Prisoners_Across_United_States⠀⇛ A shocking new investigation by Insider reveals patrol dogs in U.S. prisons have attacked at least 295 people since 2017, with Virginia setting dogs on prisoners more than any other state. These attacks can leave people with grievous physical and psychological scars, sometimes permanently disabling and disfiguring them. The report also finds ties between procedures in U.S. prisons and the abuses committed by U.S. troops at Abu Ghraib, where soldiers used attack dogs to terrify Iraqi detainees along with other forms of torture and humiliation. For more, we speak with journalist Hannah Beckler, an investigations editor at Insider, and Xavia Goodwyn, who says prison guards hurled racial slurs at him during a dog attack at Virginia’s Red Onion State Prison in 2015. “Everything just went mayhem,” Goodwyn recalls. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ Brutal_Ohio_Police_Dog_Attack_on_Black Truck_Driver_Highlights_Pattern,_Echoes_Violence_of_Slavery⠀⇛ An Ohio police officer filmed unleashing a police dog on an unarmed Black truck driver during a July 4 traffic stop has been fired. We speak with legal scholar Madalyn Wasilczuk, who has helped represent teenagers in Louisiana attacked by police dogs and who says that dogs do not receive the proper amount of scrutiny when used in policing. “They’re seen as these valorized K-9 cop heroes, and we don’t focus so much on the real violence that they do,” says Wasilczuk. “Videos like this really highlight the problems.” Wasilczuk explains that the use of police dogs in apprehension is part of a widespread pattern of racialized violence by police that dates back to slavery. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ Judge_Puts_Hunter_Biden_Plea_Deal_on_Hold as_Republicans_Ramp_Up_Attacks_on_President_&_Son⠀⇛ On Wednesday, a federal judge in Delaware halted a plea deal reached between Hunter Biden and federal prosecutors in which the president’s son would avoid facing prosecution on a separate gun charge by pleading guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges. Trump-appointed Judge Maryellen Noreika said the deal lacked legal precedent, and identified several sections of the agreement that were interpreted differently by the prosecution and defense. A new plea deal could be reached within the next six weeks. This comes as Republicans have been intensifying their attacks on the Biden family in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election. “They’re very much trying to move beyond Hunter Biden, which they understand they’ve beaten that issue to death, and trying to move to Joe Biden,” says Ryan Grim, Washington bureau chief for The Intercept. # ⚓ Site36 ☛ Parliament_blocks_EU_Asylum_Package:_Crisis Regulation_for_now_off_the_table⠀⇛ # ⚓ Scheerpost ☛ The_Chris_Hedges_Report:_Remembering_Staughton Lynd’s_Life_of_Defiance⠀⇛ Alice Lynd and Luke Stewart recall the life of historian, lawyer, and activist Staughton Lynd, whose writings and speeches on the Vietnam War were recently published in a collection called ‘My Coun… o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Netflix,_Intent_on_Using_AI_to_Own_BackGround Actors’_Faces_in_Perpetuity_Without_Pay,_Will_Pay_You_$900k If_You_Tell_Them_How_to_Cash_in_on_AI⠀⇛ Streaming giant Netflix, which is one of many studios currently fighting with the striking SAG Union over, among other things, whether they should be allowed to pay background actors one single day’s rate for the right to deepfake an actor’s visage into any future content they may wish, has the perfect place to put all of that money it apparently doesn’t have for writers and actors: according to a job posting, it wants to pay someone anywhere between $300,000 and $900,000 to tell them exactly how it can cash in on AI tech. First caught by Gizmodo, the posting is specifically looking for a machine learning product manager, and is comically vague about what this very well-compensated manager might actually do. As Giz points out, Netflix does employ AI in places like its recommendation algorithms and thumbnails, but based on the description and salary, this seems less like a background engineering role and much more like an overall strategy-slash-brainstorming position. # ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Automakers_Try_To_Bullshit_Their_Way_Past_‘Right To_Repair’_Standoff_In_Massachusetts⠀⇛ Giant automakers continue to try and scuttle a popular Massachusetts law aimed at making repairing your own cars easier and more affordable. And they’re once again using some familiar, misleading tactics to do it. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ EU_launches_antitrust_investigation_into Microsoft_Teams_after_Slack_complaint⠀⇛ The European Commission today disclosed that it’s investigating Microsoft Corp. over the way it distributes Teams to customers. Microsoft ships Teams with Microsoft 365, a product bundle that includes the Office productivity suite. The videoconferencing and messaging service was previously a part of Office 365, a predecessor to Microsoft 365 that included many of the same products. European Union antitrust officials believe that this product bundling may amount to a breach of the bloc’s competition laws. In its announcement of the antitrust probe, the European Commission highlighted two specific areas of concern. # ⚓ Deutsche Welle ☛ EU_opens_antitrust_probe_into_Microsoft over_Teams_packaging⠀⇛ European Union regulators Thursday opened an antitrust investigation into concerns that Microsoft’s bundling of its Teams app with other Office products was giving it an unfair advantage. Teams is the company’s popular communication and collaborative tool used by thousands of businesses worldwide. The company includes Teams with other popular suites for businesses Office 365 and Microsoft 365. The European Commission, the European Union’s top competition enforcer, said bundling them may constitute anti-competitive behavior. It said it would carry out an investigation as “matter of priority.” # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Sky_Targets_Sky_Go_&_Now_TV Decryption_Key_Software_as_Piracy_Wars_Continue⠀⇛ Early this week, an anti-piracy company working for Sky TV spotted two pieces of software being made available online and immediately rushed to take them down. Targeting streaming services Sky Go and Now TV, the tools allow users to log in to the platforms via a terminal window, browse the available content, then extract decryption keys for both live TV channels and VOD titles. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ YouTube_Rippers’_Appeal_of_RIAA’s_$83 Million_Piracy_Win_Moves_Forward⠀⇛ Two years ago, the RIAA secured a multi- million dollar victory in its piracy lawsuit against YouTube-rippers FLVTO.biz and 2conv.com. It was a big win for the music group but the case is not completely over. A notice of appeal filed by the platforms’ operator has just been docketed at the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Whether this legal battle will be fought to the end is unclear. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 4145 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.28.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Links_28/07/2023:_Leaked_Survey/Poll_Shows_Morale_Crisis_at_Microsoft, Senator_Ron_Wyden_Wants_to_Hold_Microsoft_Accountable_for_Epic_Breach⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 3:35 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * GNU/Linux o Audiocasts/Shows o Applications o Instructionals/Technical o Desktop_Environments/WMs # K_Desktop_Environment/KDE_SC/Qt * Distributions_and_Operating_Systems o SUSE/OpenSUSE o Fedora_Family_/_IBM o Canonical/Ubuntu_Family o Devices/Embedded o Open_Hardware/Modding o Mobile_Systems/Mobile_Applications * Free,_Libre,_and_Open_Source_Software o Web_Browsers/Web_Servers # Mozilla o Content_Management_Systems_(CMS) o GNU_Projects o Licensing_/_Legal o Programming/Development # Rust * Leftovers o Hardware o Health/Nutrition/Agriculture o Proprietary/Artificial_Intelligence_(AI) o Linux_Foundation o Security # Privacy/Surveillance o Defence/Aggression * Transparency/Investigative_Reporting * Environment o Energy/Transportation * Finance * AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics * Censorship/Free_Speech * Civil_Rights/Policing * Internet_Policy/Net_Neutrality * Monopolies o Patents o Trademarks o Copyrights * § GNU/Linux⠀➾ o ⚓ Data Swamp ☛ Turning_a_15_years_old_laptop_into_a_children_proof retrogaming_station⠀⇛ This article explains a setup I made for our family vacation place, I wanted to turn an old laptop (a Dell Vostro 1500 from 2008) into a retrogaming station. That’s actually easy to do, but I wanted to make it “childproof” so it will always work even if we let children alone with the laptop for a moment, that part was way harder. This is not a tutorial explaining everything from A to Z, but mostly what worked / didn’t work from my experimentation. o § Audiocasts/Shows⠀➾ # ⚓ Tux Digital ☛ Linux_Out_Loud_70:_Tech_Experts⠀⇛ This week, Linux Out Loud chats about questioning the “tech experts”. Welcome to episode 70 of Linux Out Loud. We fired up our mics, connected those headphones as we searched the community for themes to expound upon. We kept the banter friendly, the conversation somewhat on topic, and had fun doing it. # ⚓ Linux in the Ham Shack ☛ LHS_Episode_#511:_I_Hear_Banjos⠀⇛ Hello and welcome to Episode #511 of Linux in the Ham Shack. In this short topics episode, the hosts discuss the National Boy Scout Jamboree, SOTA activations in Colorado, volunteerism … # ⚓ Jupiter Broadcasting ☛ NixOS_is_a_bit_Flakey_|_Self-Hosted 102⠀⇛ Alex shares a suite of self-hosted apps that replace Reddit. Chris is struggling with Jellyfin, and we discuss where NixOS is killing it and where we think it falls down. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ It’s FOSS ☛ Colors_in_ls_Command_Output:_What_do_They Mean⠀⇛ I’m sure you must have used the ls command to list the contents of a directory. In Ubuntu and many other distributions, you’ll see the ls command output in different colors. If you don’t see it, you can get colored output like this… But have you ever wondered what those colors mean in the ls command output? I’ll answer the questions in this article. I’ll also show how to get colored output with ls command if your terminal does not show it by default. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ ID Root ☛ How_To_Setting_Up_NTP_Server_and_Client_on_Rocky Linux_9⠀⇛ In this tutorial, we will show you how to setting Up NTP Server and Client on Rocky Linux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, NTP operates on the principle of hierarchical timekeeping using a set of stratum levels. Stratum 0 denotes high-precision reference clocks, such as GPS satellites or atomic clocks. # ⚓ Linux Journal ☛ Mount_Drives_with_Ease:_A_Guide_to Automounting_in_Linux_GUI_and_CLI⠀⇛ Before we delve into the process, it’s important to comprehend why automounting is a handy feature. Normally, when a storage drive is connected to your Linux system, it does not become instantly accessible. You must manually mount the drive every time you boot up. Automounting eliminates this hassle by ensuring the drive is automatically accessible when the system starts. Now that you know why this is crucial, let’s delve into the process. # ⚓ Make Tech Easier ☛ How_to_Backup_Your_GPG_Key_in_Linux_with paperkey⠀⇛ Paperkey is a command line program for Linux that allows you to export your GPG private key in a human-readable format. It works by removing the redundant parts of a private key and leaving only its critical secret bits.

But yeah: I joined the other devs @ Akademy and I even did a quick talk with Marco regarding what Plasma 6 will bring. Before I start talking about the event itself, though, do let me say that I only managed to join in thanks to the KDE eV, who covered part of the traveling and hotel costs. That’s extremely helpful, and I hope to get back to productivity and give back to KDE! So, how was the event for me? Well, firstly, Thessaloniki had some pretty places: * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ HaikuOS ☛ [GSoC_2023]_VPN_Support_Project_Update_#4⠀⇛ § The Weekly Problem So we are just past the midway point for GSoC and last update I told you guys that I had a working (albeit somewhat buggy) TUN Driver working. I had gotten great feedback from Pulkomandy, Axel, and Korli to help with a more efficient driver and to make it more human-readable because it made no sense the way I had written it. I have very good news to bring to everyone in that all of the 3 main problems that I talked about last time are all solved! I think most of them got solved after I fully understood creating semaphores and imposed execution order by adding a write semaphore. While this new code made the driver much more efficient and less error-prone, there were two new errors that popped up during testing: o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ Happy_SysAdmin_Day,_Linux_Wizards!⠀⇛ Happy Sysadmin Day to all the fantastic Linux admins out there! Thank you for being our servers’ heroes and our data guardians! o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ GNOME ☛ Richard_Hughes:_Introducing_Passim⠀⇛ tl;dr: Passim is a local caching server that uses mDNS to advertise files by their SHA-256 hash. Named after the Latin word for “here, there and everywhere” it might save a lot of people a lot of money. Much of the software running on your computer that connects to other systems over the Internet needs to periodically download metadata or other information needed to perform other requests. As part of running the passim/LVFS projects I’ve seen how download this “small” file once per 24h turns into tens of millions of requests per day — which is about ~10TB of bandwidth! Everybody downloads the same file from a CDN, and although a CDN is not super-expensive, it’s certainly not free. Everybody on your local network (perhaps dozens of users in an office) has to download the same 1MB blob of metadata from a CDN over a perhaps-non-free shared internet link. What if we could download the file from the Internet CDN on one machine, and the next machine on the local network that needs it instead downloads it from the first machine? We could put a limit on the number of times it can be shared, and the maximum age so that we don’t store yesterdays metadata forever, and so that we don’t turn a ThinkPad X220 into a machine distributing 1Gb/s to every other machine in the office. We could cut the CDN traffic by at least one order of magnitude, but possibly much more. This is better for the person paying the cloud bill, the person paying for the internet connection, and the planet as a whole. This is what Passim might be. You add automatically or manually add files to the daemon which stores them in /var/lib/passim/data with xattrs set on each file for the max-age and share-limit. When the file has been shared more than the share limit number of times, or is older than the max age it is deleted and not advertised to other clients. # ⚓ Vice Media Group ☛ The_Linux_Community_Is_Circumventing_Red Hat’s_Controversial_New_Strategy⠀⇛ Red Hat’s recent decision to restrict the source code for its enterprise Linux build has led open- source projects big and small to come up with creative strategies to continue to serve their users. o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Hectic Geek ☛ Pop!_OS_VS_Linux_Mint,_Which_One_to_Select_in 2023⠀⇛ Struggling to pick between Pop!_OS and Linux Mint?

Our Surveillance_Principles_for_a_Secure, Trusted_Internet have served as the guiding force of our advocacy in this space. These principles were created in the aftermath of the Snowden revelations of 2013 that showed the world the catastrophic breadth of US government surveillance. Our advocacy here also stems from Principle 4 of Mozilla’s Manifesto: “Individuals’ security and privacy on the internet are fundamental and must not be treated as optional.” The status quo of US government surveillance violates this principle and can threaten the human rights of journalists, dissidents, and even members of Congress. The current FISA process is overbroad, restricted only by weak legislation and executive orders that, experience has shown, do not create real accountability. It has been clear for some time that any meaningful reform to FISA 702 would create accessible due process available to subjects of surveillance accompanied by effective oversight. o § Content Management Systems (CMS)⠀➾ # ⚓ WordPress ☛ Synced_Patterns:_The_Evolution_of_Reusable Blocks⠀⇛ Synced patterns are replacing Reusable blocks, offering a unified creation experience for new pattern functionality coming to WordPress 6.3.

They’re first and foremost a tool for artistic creativity, yet nerds like me are also drawn to their endless potential for technobabble and obsession about specifications. But as I’ve now learned, spending your time on the latter may impact the former in ways you don’t expect. § I heard you like skipping background!⠀➾ My first camera was an Olympus Trip 35 film camera I inherited from my mum. I was so excited to come home from school to see the photos she took to be processed. I loved the hobby so much that my parents later bought me a FujiFilm S9600 bridge camera, which had all the controls of an SLR, but at a much lower price and with a permanent f/2.8 telephoto. Yes, f/2.8! It was a fantastic introduction to wider photography. My first SLR was a Nikon D60, which I carried in a separate bag for almost a decade. I had a couple of budget kit lenses, but I spent most of my time using a 35mm f/1.8 prime. My only regret not going Canon, or spending the extra for a D90, was being limited to AF-S lenses for autofocusing. But again, it felt like a massive upgrade, and I learned a lot. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Youyeetoo_X1_–_A_Compact_Intel_Jasper_Lake SBC_going_for_$110_and_up⠀⇛ Youyeetoo X1 is a compact Intel Celeron N5105 Jasper Lake SBC with up to 16GB RAM, optional eMMC flash of up to 256GB capacity, support for an M.2 NVMe or SATA SSD,  up to three video outputs, Gigabit Ethernet, and optional WiFi and Bluetooth or 4G LTE connectivity.

State officials have written a letter in which they’ve given fellow Republican state Sen. Jessica Castleberry 10 days to return the funds. Gov. Kristi Noem says Castleberry violated the state constitution by accepting the pandemic aid. Castleberry says she believed her preschool was eligible for the funding and was open with the state Social Services Department about her grant applications. The South Dakota Supreme Court in 2020 advised that it’s unconstitutional for state lawmakers to accept COVID-19 funds. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ Vice Media Group ☛ Elon_Musk_Doesn’t_Have_a_Plan_For Twitter,_Or_Anything_Really⠀⇛ Rebranding the blue bird site as ‘X’ is the billionaire’s latest pathetic grab for attention. # ⚓ Bleeping Computer ☛ Twitter’s_rebranding_to_‘X’_triggers Microsoft_Edge_security_alert⠀⇛ # ⚓ Bleeping Computer ☛ Microsoft_fixes_bug_that_breaks_video recording_in_Windows_apps⠀⇛ # ⚓ SUSE’s Corporate Blog ☛ SAP_Data_Intelligence_3_validated on_top_of_Rancher_RKE_2_and_VMware_vSphere/vSAN [Ed: SUSE is promoting lots of proprietary on proprietary instead of SUSE]⠀⇛ We are happy to announce that SUSE validated the installation of SAP Data Intelligence 3 on top of Rancher RKE 2 and VMware vSphere/vSAN. . # § Microsoft and Windows TCO⠀➾ # ⚓ Business Insider ☛ Leaked_Microsoft_polls_show employees_feel_much_worse_about_culture_and_leadership than_at_the_beginning_of_the_year⠀⇛ Microsoft employees feel significantly worse about the company’s workplace culture and the effectiveness of leaders than they did at the start of the year, internal polls viewed by Insider show.

The letter, addressed to the heads of each organisation, describes that the hack happened after the hackers stole an encryption key Microsoft itself had generated for Outlook’s identity service. The stolen encryption key allowed hackers to “impersonate users and gain access to Microsoft-hosted consumer accounts”, despite multi-factor authentication efforts. Microsoft itself has stated that the hack stayed undiscovered for around a month before they received complaints from users recording unusual email activity on their accounts. # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Europe_opens_probe_into_Microsoft_bundling of_Teams_with_Office⠀⇛ It said Microsoft had included Teams in its “well-entrenched cloud-based productivity suites for business customers Office 365 and Microsoft 365″.

Since then his wife, father and brother have been campaigning for his release. Carr said Albanese had made his position clear to the US administration by saying: “We are working through diplomatic channels, but we’re making very clear what our position is on Mr Assange’s case.” It was, thus, safe to assume that Albanese had, during one of his seven meetings with US President Joe Biden, raised the issue of Assange’s freedom, Carr reasoned, adding that Australia had promised the largest transfer of wealth — $368 billion — to serve as a subsidy to American naval shipyards and the British naval builder BAE Systems. “…it clinches Australia’s reputation as a deliriously loyal, entirely gullible US ally,” Carr said. “It gives President Biden the justification for telling Republicans or Clinton loyalists in his own party that he had no alternative but to end the pursuit of Assange. ‘Those Aussies insisted on it.

Biden expressed trepidation about Meloni when she first rose to power last year as the head of Italy’s first far-right led government since the end of World War II. But on the eve of Meloni’s visit, White House officials underscored she has proven to be a steady ally in the U.S.-led effort to assist Ukraine as it tries to repel Russia’s invasion.

Recall that parties have challenged Fintiv facially in District Court on the three grounds: 1) that in enacting Fintiv the PTO Director acted contrary to the patent statute, that 2) Fintiv is arbitrary and capricious, and that 3) the Fintiv instructions were issued without notice-and-comment rulemaking. The Federal Circuit has sent that challenge back to the district court to proceed. Not satisfied to wait for that challenge to proceed, the USPTO issued a controversial Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“ANPRM”), proposing further changes. That has been met with overwhelming public opposition, generating almost 15,000 almost entirely negative comments. In the meantime, half of all filed challenges continue to be forced to brief the issue in some fashion. Actual denials, despite that mountain of analysis, became rare, but the Board has begun to again deny petitions on the challenged rules. o ⚓ Unified Patents ☛ $2,000_awarded_for_Dominion_Harbor_entity, Monument_Peak_Ventures,_camera_battery_patent_prior_art⠀⇛ Unified is pleased to announce PATROLL crowdsourcing contest winner, Ekta Aswal, was awarded $2,000 for her prior art submission on U.S._Patent_7,187,858, owned by Monument_Peak_Ventures, an NPE and Dominion_Harbor entity.

If anything, yesterday’s changes at Canadian Heritage and Justice suggest an acceleration of plans that will include continuing to head toward the Bill C-18 cliff of blocked news links as well as introducing controversial online harms legislation and perhaps even copyright reform. o ⚓ Michael Geist ☛ Culture_Lobby_Groups_Call_on_Government_to_Open Door_to_CRTC_Regulation_of_Video_Games,_User_Content_and_Algorithms Under_Bill_C-11_Implementation⠀⇛ Bill C-11 may have receded into the background of CRTC consultations and government policy directions, but Canadians concerned with user content, video game and algorithmic regulation would do well to pay attention. Lobby groups that fought for the inclusion of user content regulation in the bill have now turned their attention to the regulatory process and are seeking to undo government assurances that each of those issues – user content, algorithms and even video games – would fall outside of the scope of the regulatory implementation of the bill. In fact, if the groups get their way, Canadians would face unprecedented regulations with the CRTC empowered to create a host of new obligations that could even include requirements for Youtubers and TikTokers to register with the Commission. With a new Heritage Minister in place, the submissions raise serious concerns about whether the government will maintain its commitments regarding scoping out users, video games, and algorithms. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 6569 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐃𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐘 𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐒 ═════════════════════════════════════════════╕ ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ 07.28.23⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ Gemini_version_available_♊︎ ✐ Gemini_Links_28/07/2023:_Old_Computers_and_Side_Projects_of_Skyjake⠀✐ Posted in News_Roundup at 8:30 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇GNOME bluefish⦈ § Contents⠀➾ * Gemini*_and_Gopher o Personal/Opinions o Technology_and_Free_Software # Programming * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ 🔤SpellBinding:_YFGIRTD_Wordo:_YOURN⠀⇛ o § Technology and Free Software⠀➾ # ⚓ Turning_a_15_years_old_laptop_into_a_children_proof retrogaming⠀⇛ This article explains a setup I made for our family vacation place, I wanted to turn an old laptop (a Dell Vostro 1500 from 2008) into a retrogaming station. That’s actually easy to do, but I wanted to make it “childproof” so it will always work even if we let children alone with the laptop for a moment, that part was way harder. This is not a tutorial explaining everything from A to Z, but mostly what worked / didn’t work from my experimentation. # § Programming⠀➾ # ⚓ Side_Projects_and_Distractions⠀⇛ What this also means that my programming endeavors have largely been short, distracted affairs or late-night sessions when I’ve managed to muster the strength somehow, or have imbibed unusual amounts of coffee. I have a tendency to focus deeply on one project at a time, be it programming, music, or some other kind of art. This is probably not uncommon, since it takes a while to get into the Flow — to construct and maintain the relevant mental models and warm up the muscle memory — and switching to another project comes at a fairly large cost. It literally feels uncomfortable to switch focus. Similarly, after a longer break when I’ve purged all mental constructs, the comfortable thing is to just continue relaxing. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
