A word that IBM and their fanboys, and remaining unpaid volunteers are bandying about lately, is “Freeloader”. In IBM Red Hat’s book, anyone who isn’t currently coughing up a subscription fee to use RHEL is “Freeloading”. Basically, they see you as a parasite. This word doesn’t just apply to a person who grabs Fedora and uses it on their laptop and never files bug reports or anything. It applies more broadly to organizations that deploy a free Enterprise Linux clone to their business because they think they can self-support. It also applies specifically to Oracle, because even before IBM, Red Hat was already trying to portray Oracle Linux as some sort of “stolen product” with their “Unfakeable Linux” marketing campaign. Let’s talk about users. Fedora has always had a very transactional relationship with users from Red Hat’s point of view. Users were valuable as bug reporters. We’d get this software on our daily systems for free, and in return, when something went wrong, we were “requested” to file bug reports. However, IBM doesn’t value bug reports because as the new boss in town, it’s not actually interested in fixing bugs. It wants to hide them, like Microsoft, according to AlmaLinux developers who tried reporting security vulnerabilities in RHEL components. KnownHost CTO and AlmaLinux Infrastructure Team Leader Jonathan Wright recently posted a CentOS Stream fix for CVE-2023-38403,_a memory_overflow_problem_in_iperf3. Iperf3 is a popular open-source network performance test. This security hole is an important one, but not a huge problem. Still, it’s better by far to fix it than let it linger and see it eventually used to crash a server. That’s what I and others felt anyway. But, then, a senior Red Hat software engineer replied, “Thanks for the contribution. At this time, we_don’t_plan_to_address_this_in_RHEL, but we will keep it open for evaluation based on customer feedback.”  […] The GitLab conversation proceeded:  AlmaLinux:  “Is customer demand really necessary to fix CVEs?”  Red Hat: “We commit to addressing Red Hat defined Critical and Important security issues. Security vulnerabilities with Low or Moderate severity will be addressed on demand when [a] customer or other business requirements exist to do so.” AlmaLinux: “I can even understand that, but why reject the fix when the work is already done and just has to be merged?”  At this point, Mike McGrath, Red Hat’s VP of Core Platforms, AKA RHEL, stepped in. He explained, “We should probably create a ‘what to expect when you’re submitting’ doc. Getting the code written is only the first step in what Red Hat does with it. We’d have to make sure there aren’t regressions, QA, etc. … So thank you for the contribution, it looks like the Fedora side of it is going well, so it’ll end up in RHEL at some point.” One user wrote, “You want customer demand? Here is customer demand. FIX IT, or I will NEVER touch RHEL EVER.” While another, snarked, “Red Hat: We’re going totally commercial because Alma never pushes fixes upstream! Also, Red Hat: We don’t want your fixes, Alma!” On Reddit, McGrath said, “I will admit that we did have a great opportunity for a good-faith gesture towards Alma here and fumbled.” Finally, though the Red_Hat_Product_Security_team_rated_the_CVE_as “‘Important,’ the patch was merged. -ZDNet Article “AlmaLinux_discovers_working_with_Red_Hat_isn’t_easy” The attitude that Microsoft and IBM share in security vulnerabilities is that they don’t want to touch the fix, even if someone else already wrote it, because it may cause a regression that they then have to spend time and money sorting out. Microsoft’s attitude is so bad that they use old and insecure versions of gnupg to generate package signatures on their “Linux” software, but it also hardly matters because they point dnf on Fedora or RHEL to their server to get the .asc file, which means that users who have Microsoft programs on their computer can get a copy that’s been tampered with as an “update” and not have any warning, because the attacker can modify the .asc with one that they control, and put that one on the server as part of the attack. I think it’s, frankly, frightening, that IBM admits that security patches are not one of their highest priorities in such a widely used system as RHEL. Instead of getting caught up in the “security poser” malarkey, and buzzword bullshit bingo, like Matthew Garrett does with his nerve-grating overuse of things like “attestation”, “TPM”, and “roots of trust”. These things are not security. If the software you’re using is garbage, your security is garbage. You need to use software from people who just fix their damn bugs, and vendors who get you those patches shipped ASAP. Everything else is basically pointless. My roots of trust are simple. It’s on my computer, I trust it. Fuck off. The first and last time I’ve had a computer virus, it was on Windows 98, and Chernobyl (it was set to trigger a malicious BIOS flashing until the ROM was bricked). Thankfully, I pulled it out in time. I have never had any “Linux malware”, and that record is unbroken since 1998. Seriously, patch your software, get it from a legitimate source, and don’t worry too much. If a company is like Microsoft and IBM, and doesn’t want to know about security holes, they don’t deserve their customers on that issue alone. Where were we? Ah, yes. Freeloading. IBM’s open contempt for Fedora is even worse. They are throwing out many unpaid volunteers that were doing free work for IBM Red Hat, and calling those people “Freeloaders”, with absolutely no sense of irony, apparently. IBM gets a lot of software for free. They stopped paying the FSF around the time Molly de Blanc and other unproductives, like Garrett (his last useful code was in the 2000s, I think, when he worked on ACPI), organized people around a defamatory petition against Richard M. Stallman, which Roy Schestowitz points out is a 70 year old man. But IBM still pulls GNU software without paying for it. And many other people’s software! FREELOADERS! Users of free clones can be future customers. The “free” developer license for RHEL, does not allow you to deploy it across your whole organization, get settled in, and then realize you need support after all. The free clones were an ongoing source of new customers, who would often bring lots of machines with them by the time they approached Red Hat and wanted to do an in-place conversion. This was a serious amount of money. IBM says they’re just Freeloaders and harasses the distributions that onboard customers into the “Red Hat” way of doing things and land them clients. Even when they don’t make sales, their product gets more marketshare, which was why they were a de facto “standard”. Oracle “Freeloading”. Perhaps most of all, Red Hat (pre-, and post-IBM) had disdain for Oracle Linux, but Oracle didn’t have compelling reasons to lure people away from RHEL wanting an identical product. Oracle is not the authoritative source of RHEL, IBM is. Whatever Oracle consumes is what IBM decided to put in there. A customer education campaign on this subject would have been better than labeling Oracle as some sort of “stolen product”. Oracle is not going for exactly the same customers. They have their own “Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel” that is really quite different already, and which boots by default. UEK is modified to run Oracle-type workloads better than the RHEL Compatible Kernel, but despite this, the compatibility issues with it are rare. The Linux kernel version does not directly interact with very many programs in userspace so as long as you have a stable kernel that’s getting serviced by someone who knows what they’re doing, you’re probably going to be fine running the RHEL userspace on top of it, which makes IBM’s decision to obscure their kernel all the more bizarre. The future of RHEL clones is not entirely under IBM’s control anyway. Already, an alliance (Open_Enterprise_Alliance_Association) of SUSE, Oracle, and CIQ (sponsor of Rocky Linux) have come together to make a “commons” out of the Enterprise Linux source code. Ironically, the alliance’s Web site pokes fun at IBM. “The Community Repository for Enterprise Linux Sources No subscriptions. No passwords. No barriers. Freeloaders welcome.“ Essentially, IBM has succeeded only in angering a great many people with their antics including washing their hands of Fedora this week, and spurred their competitors into an alliance to_reduce_the_work_of_maintaining_competing_RHEL clones. This has all been so very stupid and avoidable. The media (bribed) has been focusing on this “AI” nonsense between Microsoft and IBM, but all it will ever do is cost IBM money. IBM decided to throw away an actual product, and company, that it spent a considerable amount of money acquiring, in the garbage, and pivot to running like some idiotic San Francisco cash furnish with an account at the Bank of Silicon Valley. It will not end well for them if they proceed. █ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 361 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at

One of the many things setting it apart is a fluid player movement system. You can gradually build up speed in the air by turning left and right, and if you jump as soon as you hit the ground, you keep all of that speed. These techniques, called strafing and bunny- hopping, unlocked a whole new dimension to the game, and spawned a big community of mappers and players. There are hundreds of custom maps with challenging obstacles designed to test one’s movement skills, and thousands of players competing to finish them as fast as possible. The main hubs for these maps and records are Xtreme-Jumps1 and Cosy-Climbing. They are centered around Counter-Strike 1.6, which has similar movement mechanics to Half-Life, but paced slower with a jump-speed limit and some tweaks to the acceleration. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Krita:_Unleashing_the_new_Bundle_Editor⠀⇛ The Bundle Editor is an extension of the Bundle Creator, designed to enable artists to modify existing bundles. Often, when downloading a bundle, we find ourselves drawn to specific brushes and realize that a portion—ranging from 10% to 50%—will likely go unused. In such instances, the ability to trim down bundle sizes by removing unnecessary brushes offers the potential to significantly save on disk space. # ⚓ Scarlett_Gately_Moore:_KDE:_A_day_in_the_life_of_the KDE_snapcrafter!⠀⇛ As mentioned last week, I am still looking for a super awesome team lead for a super amazing project involving KDE and Snaps. Time is running out and well the KDE world will be a better a better place if this project goes through! I would like to clarify, this is a paid position! A current KDE developer would be ideal as it is a small team so your time will be split managing and coding alike. If you or anyone you know might be interested please contact me ASAP! On to snappy things I have achieved this week: Most 23.04.3 is done, I am just testing them now. New applications: kmymoney ( Thanks Carlos! ), kde-dev-utils, and kxstitch ( Thanks Jeremy! ) With that said, I have seen on the internets –candidate channel apps being promoted. Please use this channel with utmost care as they are being tested and could quite possibly be very broken! # § GNOME Desktop/GTK⠀➾ # ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ GNOME_45_Hits_Beta:_New_Features_& Missed_Items⠀⇛ The GNOME fans are excited as GNOME 45 makes its way to the beta phase, bringing an array of enhancements, tweaks, and new features. This release promises a smoother user experience and marks a significant shift in its core components and functionalities. As GNOME 45 enters the beta phase, the UI, feature, and API freezes take effect. The beta phase is set to continue until September 2, when the release candidate is expected. Finally, you can expect the official GNOME 45 release on September 20, 2023. Let’s dive into the highlights of what you can expect from GNOME 45. # ⚓ This Week in GNOME ☛ This_Week_in_GNOME_(Felix Häcker):_#109_Managing_Repositories⠀⇛ Update on what happened across the GNOME project in the week from August 11 to August 18. # ⚓ Arun_Raghavan:_To_Conference_Organisers_Everywhere…⠀⇛ (well, not exactly everywhere …) This is not an easy post for me to write, being a bit of a criticism / “you can do better” note for organisers of conferences that cater to a global community. It’s not easy because most of the conferences I attend are community driven, and I have helped organise community_conferences in the past. It is a thankless job, a labour of love, and you mostly do not get to enjoy the fruits of that labour as others do. The problem is that these conferences end up inadvertently excluding members who live in, for lack of a better phrase, the Global South. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ HaikuOS ☛ [GSoC_2023]_VPN_Support_Project_Update_#6⠀⇛ So last time I posted I was able to say that I got the client side for OpenVPN on Haiku working but not the server but I am proud to say that now both the server and client work extremely well now on Haiku 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇:)⦈ I was able to get the server from not working to working and was able to get the latency for the entire VPN operation down from 1000ms average to anywhere between 2ms to 9ms (that’s a caveat as that is without blocking which will be discussed later). I had a check in my tun_read() function wrong where I wanted any side that is non-blocking to send a signal to the other side’s condition variable that something is now in their queue but had it backwards with a not statement in there. The simplest mistakes slip the mind huh :p Anyway, the server also follows suit with the faster latency so now that the read and write functions are basically complete, lets get on with what I was dealing with for the past 2ish weeks. o § SUSE/OpenSUSE⠀➾ # ⚓ TechCrunch ☛ SUSE_goes_private_again⠀⇛ SUSE, the German Linux vendor and acquirer of enterprise tools like Rancher and NeuVector, has had its fair share of owners since it was founded in 1992. There was Novell, which acquired it in 2003. Then Novell itself was acquired by The Attachmate Group in 2011. Then Attachmate and Micro Focus merged in 2014, only to sell off SUSE to private equity firm EQT Partners in 2018, which then took it public with an IPO on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in the heady days of summer 2021. And now, EQT Partners is taking SUSE private once again. # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ SUSE_to_be_taken_private_by_its_majority shareholder⠀⇛ An investment firm plans to take SUSE SA private to advance the open-source software maker’s long-term growth strategy. SUSE announced the plan on Thursday. The proposed deal values the company at about €2.6 billion, significantly higher than its market capitalization before the transaction’s announcement. Germany-based SUSE develops a popular Linux distribution of the same name. # ⚓ Dominique Leuenberger ☛ openSUSE_Tumbleweed_–_Review_of_the week_2023/33⠀⇛ Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Since the last weekly review, we have ‘only’ delivered six snapshots (0811…0816). Snapshot 0817 is still hanging in QA and is thus not part of today’s review. The most relevant changes delivered in the aforementioned snapshots are: [...] o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ AlmaLinux_leader_says_Red_Hat_code crackdown_isn’t_a_threat [Ed: The original "FUD" company was IBM. We're back to it and this publisher takes "sponsorship" money from Red Hat, so it cannot be objective.]⠀⇛ Red Hat Inc.’s announcement last month that it would impose restrictions on the availability of source code for its Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system created a stir among developers and Linux users who have relied on no-cost alternatives AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux, which were built to be “bug-for-bug compatible” with RHEL. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Transforming_A_Keyboard_To_A_Mouse_In_Software⠀⇛ You’ve probably heard the old saying that if it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck… So when is a keyboard a mouse? When software makes it quack like a mouse — that is, if mice quacked. [Blackle Mori] took a cheap USB keypad and, using the libevdev Linux system, made it impersonate a mouse. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ Rockchip_RK3568_SBC_takes_up_to_four_AHD cameras,_two_SATA_drives⠀⇛ Boardcon EM3568-AV CAM SBC is powered by a Rockchip RK3568 SoC and comes with four AHD (analog high- definition) camera connectors and two SATA 3.0 ports to store video data on hard drives. The SBC is also equipped with up to 8GB RAM, up to 128GB eMMC flash, supports MIPI DSI, LVDS, and eDP displays, and features a video composite output, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, WIFi 4 connectivity, an optional 4G LTE module, a few USB ports, and several connectors for expansion. # ⚓ Low Tech Mag ☛ Thematic_Book_Series:_How_to_Build_a_Low- tech_Internet?⠀⇛ We were told that the internet would dematerialize society and decrease energy use. Contrary to this projection, it has become a massive infrastructure and a rapidly growing energy consumer. In this series of articles, Low-tech Magazine examines the reasons behind the ever-expanding resource use of digital communication and what we can do about it. The internet isn’t an autonomous being. Its growing energy use results from decisions made by software developers, web designers, marketeers, publishers, and internet users. By placing communications in a historical context and with the development of its lightweight, off-the-grid, and solar powered website, Low-tech Magazine challenges our high-tech approach to sustainability and highlights the possibilities of alternative solutions. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Arduino-powered_pickpocket_trap_catches_thieves red-handed⠀⇛ People living in small towns and rural areas may not realize it, but pickpocketing is a genuine issue in big cities. Real-life pickpockets aren’t magic like those in movies, but they can pull an item like a wallet from your pocket without you noticing — it is surprisingly easy to do. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ Testing_fast_charging_damage_to_smartphone batteries⠀⇛ Most people leave their phones on their chargers overnight, but sometimes you end up at 5% halfway through the day and need to top off your battery. Fast charging is very convenient in such circumstances, but it may be damaging your smartphone’s battery and reducing its capacity over time. o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Android Authority ☛ 5_Android_apps_you_shouldn’t_miss_this week_–_Android_Apps_Weekly⠀⇛ # ⚓ Tom’s Guide ☛ Thousands_of_Android_malware_apps_use stealthy_APKs_to_bypass_security,_study_finds_|_Tom’s_Guide⠀⇛ # ⚓ SlashGear ☛ How_To_Adjust_Your_Android_Device’s_Touch Sensitivity_Settings⠀⇛ # ⚓ SamMobile ☛ One_UI_6_(Android_14)_beta_is_speeding_towards Galaxy_S22_users_–_SamMobile⠀⇛ # ⚓ Phone Arena ☛ Surprise!_Google_releases_Android_14_Beta_5.1 –_PhoneArena⠀⇛ # ⚓ WCCF Tech ☛ Here_is_How_Android’s_Find_My_Device_Network Could_End_Up_Looking_Like⠀⇛ # ⚓ Forbes ☛ Android_Circuit:_Galaxy_S24_Ultra_Leaks,_Oppo Reno10_Pro_Prize,_Honor_Magic_V2_Secrets⠀⇛ # ⚓ Phone Arena ☛ Two_new_single-contact_widgets_are_coming_to Android_–_PhoneArena⠀⇛ # ⚓ Giz China ☛ Easy_Steps_to_Secure_Android_Phones_and_Protect Your_Personal_Data_–_Gizchina.com⠀⇛ # ⚓ Hacker News ☛ Thousands_of_Android_Malware_Apps_Using Stealthy_APK_Compression_to_Evade_Detection⠀⇛ * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾ # ⚓ Nirbheek_Chauhan:_What_is_WebRTC?_Why_does_it_need ‘Signalling’?⠀⇛ If you’re new to WebRTC, you must’ve heard that it’s a way to do video calls in your browser without needing to install an app. It’s pretty great! However, it uses a bunch of really arcane terminology because it builds upon older technologies such as RTP, RTCP, SDP, ICE, STUN, etc. To understand what WebRTC Signalling is, you must first understand these foundational technologies. Readers who are well-versed in this subject might find some of the explanations annoyingly simplistic to read. They will also notice that I am omitting a lot of of detail, leading to potentially misleading statements. I apologize in advance to these people. I am merely trying to avoid turning this post into a book. If you find a sub-heading too simplistic, please feel free to skip it.

This is a much-needed step to advance privacy, give people more control over their data, and shed light on a notoriously murky industry. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ Simon Ser ☛ Simon_Ser:_Status_update,_August_2023⠀⇛ Hi! Let me start this status update with an announcement: from 2023-08-28 to 2023-10-01 (!), I will be on leave, so I will have reduced availability. Don’t be surprised if I miss some e- mails, and feel free to ping me again (more generally, please do ping me if I forget about a discussion — that also tends to happen when I’m not on leave).

As often, these are some thoughts without any grand announcements to accompany them. It’s just passed 5 years since I arrived in Santiago de Compostela, without much of a plan, and here I am. Summer a bit milder than last year which is great as I have got really back into cycling again. Compostela apparently has the highest ratio of tourists to locals at the moment in all Spain – 1.3 visitors for every resident, its very noticeable if you go to the old town. Meanwhile in the UK even Conservative news outlets now recommend leaving. I personally miss UK life but what I really miss is the UK of 2013, before the last decade of Conservative-led self destruction. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ E-readers,_and_feedback_from_Daniel_O’Connell⠀⇛ On Tuesday I talked about what I’d love to have in my bag, in addition to what I currently cart around to coffee shops and work: My_daily_carry_in_2023 I mentioned I was interesed in e-readers: Speaking of books, I’m reconsidering my stance on e- readers. I tried also using my iPad Mini as a daily reader, but its middling battery and weight lead me to reconsider. I’m thinking probably a mid-sized Kobo with enough resolution and storage for manga as well as books. I tend to have a few books going at the same time, so having one reader is brilliant. o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Ugly_American_trucks⠀⇛ I just saw another one of these appear in Sydney. Or should I say heard, because its engine and tyre noise could be perceived from a block away before I saw it park. o ⚓ The_What,_How_and_Why⠀⇛ I’ve thought a bit about learning a skill. How to progress. What the next steps are. This is probably because I’ve moved away from what I thought I used to be, career wise, to something else, and now I’m trying to determine what I will do when I grow up. o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ The Straits Times ☛ India_closes_in_on_Moon_landing_as Russia_also_races_to_lunar_south_pole⠀⇛ Chandrayaan-3′s lander is scheduled to attempt a touchdown on Aug 23. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Pro Publica ☛ Richmond’s_Experiment_to_Fight_Pandemic-Era Learning_Loss⠀⇛ The scene outside Fairfield Court Elementary School in Richmond, Virginia, at 7:40 last Thursday morning was so festive that one might have assumed it was the first day of school. Upbeat music blared from a speaker on the sidewalk. Sgt. Edward R. Gore II, the school’s “climate and culture specialist,” the district’s term for its school resource officers, opened his arms to the kindergartners and first graders who came running toward him, as well as to some who wavered. Also on hand to greet children and parents was the principal, Angela Wright. But in fact, the first day of school was receding in the distance: Fairfield Court was one of two local schools that had started the year on July 24, as part of a hotly contested trial: adding 20 days to the customary 180, to help make up ground lost after Richmond kept schools closed to in-person learning for 18 months during the pandemic. Families had only six weeks of summer vacation — closer to the European norm than the American one — before kids returned, and Wright and her staff were doing everything they could to make early-August school seem welcoming. Thus, the daily embraces and music, with a track list chosen by Gore. o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Measuring_Planck’s_Constant_(Again)⠀⇛ There are many well-known physical constants, but it always interests us when someone can approximately measure them using equipment you probably have. We could pretend it is because we want to help kids do science projects, but who are we really kidding? It is just the cool factor. [Stoppi] shows us several neat ways to measure Planck’s constant (German language, Google Translate link) using things like LEDs, solar cells, and common test equipment.

Throughout the years, as their use grew, techniques to defeat or bypass CAPTCHAS have continued to improve. Meanwhile, CAPTCHAS have also evolved in terms of sophistication and diversity, becoming increasingly difficult to solve for both bots (machines) and humans.

On August 14, 2013, Egyptian security forces opened fire on a sit-in where tens of thousands of people had camped out in Cairo to protest the ouster of Egypt’s first democratically elected president, Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood. An estimated 900 protesters were killed, but no one has been held responsible over the past 10 years. The minister of defense at the time, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, has since risen to the presidency, ruling Egypt for nearly a decade as a close U.S. ally while jailing tens of thousands of political prisoners. “The massacre established a new normal” and inaugurated “a decade of shame,” says Bahgat, founder and executive director of the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, which has obtained a leaked copy of a government report on the massacre that implicated Egyptian authorities in the mass killing and found most victims were civilians. # ⚓ Democracy Now ☛ Nagorno-Karabakh:_Armenia_Demands_End_to Azerbaijan_Blockade_Amid_Accusations_of_Genocide⠀⇛ Armenia is calling on the United Nations Security Council to address a worsening humanitarian crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh, a region of Azerbaijan home to ethnic Armenians that has been under a blockade for eight months. Armenia and Azerbaijan have fought multiple wars over the territory since the collapse of the Soviet Union, most recently in 2020. Azerbaijan closed the only road into the region in December, severely restricting the movement of food, medicine and other supplies for the roughly 120,000 people living there. “We cannot accept a new Armenian genocide in 2023,” says Luis Moreno Ocampo, the Argentine lawyer who served as the first prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. He issued a report earlier this month on the blockade. We also speak with Anna Ohanyan, professor of political science and international relations at Stonehill College, who says Azerbaijan is relying on “the use of hunger as a weapon” in order not to engage politically with the largely self-governing region of Nagorno-Karabakh. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ UN_Security_Council_Holds_Emergency_Meeting_On Nagorno-Karabakh⠀⇛ A senior UN official told the United Nations Security Council on August 16 that the delivery of humanitarian relief to Nagorno-Karabakh by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) must be allowed to resume through any available routes. # ⚓ Defence Web ☛ Bandits_in_Nigeria:_how_protection_payments to_militias_escalate_conflict_in_the_north-west⠀⇛ North-western Nigeria has become increasingly violent.

That’s how taxes work. If you want less of something, you add a tax to it. In Canada, some very, very clueless politicians (pushed by the news media) passed a tax on Facebook and Google linking to news.

Almost exactly two years ago, I wrote about Netflix’s announced decision to dip its toe into the video game market. At that point, word had gotten out about it all, though that word can be summed up as vague and without any real specifics as to what any of it meant. As a result, because this was also the era of several other players starting to talk about video game streaming, a la Google’s Stadia product, there had been a bunch of speculation that Netflix was going to get into the game-streaming business as well. Instead, the whole thing turned out to be Netflix developing a few mobile device games that mostly dovetailed with other Netflix properties, such as Stranger Things.

In this case, Thaler listed the Creativity Machine as the author and designated the work as created autonomously by the AI, with ownership transferring to himself as the owner and creator of the machine. The Copyright Office denied the registration application on the grounds that copyright law requires human authorship.

All caught up on TV shows and MST3k on Pluto is playing an episode I don’t really care for. So I start digging around their on-demand selection. Score, classic MacGyver. I was always a fan of 80′s shows like that. MacGyver, Magnum PI, Murder She Wrote. But boy were their setups crazy. One thing I never quite got about Murder, She Wrote was that the protagonist, Jessica Fletcher, was constantly getting involved in murders. Everywhere she went some cousin or nephew was doing some interesting thing she had to go see and boom, someone was killed. Not just once or twice. Over 264 murders (assuming at least one murder per episode). And yet in over a decade with a death toll of a small town no one ever called the FBI. Every once in a while a detective objected to her helping due to her just being an author, and even fewer thought twice about the fact death followed her around. No one really stopped and said it was ridiculous to assume she just happened to stumble upon so many murders. Cases for serial killers started with less of a trail. # ⚓ The_ridiculousness_of_80′s_crime_dramas⠀⇛ # ⚓ Dungeon_Fantasy:_Monster_Seeds⠀⇛ I was glad to get my physical copy a while ago.

I don’t have a clear idea what the numbers mean, but it feels like I use them fairly consistently. And I’m not doing science, so I can be as arbitrary as I like. It feels like a positive, sensible thing to consider how I am. Emotional state can seem overwhelming, but assigning a number requires a moment of contemplative calmness. I noticed that there was a lot of fluctuation. Some of the time life was grim, but some of the time I was ok. Good – I found out something from doing this. The badness always ends. Seems trite, but it’s backed up with stats! # ⚓ I_Miss_Physical_Buttons_on_Electronics⠀⇛ I just snagged a Sony PRS-650 ereader off Kijiji for $20 and I’m over the damn moon. It’s in incredible condition, works like a dream, and the battery is still rock solid. It’s an older device (released around 2011 I believe), yet it has all the functionality I need from an ereader in 2023. There is one feature of this incredible device that I would like to focus on. Along the bottom of the screen there are physical buttons for page turning, home, zoom, and options. # ⚓ Bought_a_new_3DS_LL_(JPN)⠀⇛ I bought a new Japanese 3DS LL off ebay so I could resume playing my various Japanese 3DS games. In large part, this is so I can play Fantasy Life to tide me over until the Nintendo Switch release of Fantasy Life i. But it’s also so that I’ll have a working console as they become less and less easily obtained over the coming years. I have had two USA 3DS XL. An original 3DS XL with a bad motherboard and a New 3DS XL with glitchy shoulder buttons. I didn’t want to do surgery on the USA one until I better understood the situation with the eShop and whether all of my downloaded titles were going to disappear. I can put up with being able to play most of them in a diminished capacity, but if I could play none of them with a fully working unit I would have been sad. # ⚓ Hardware_Showcase:_Tello⠀⇛ I’ve had drones for a long time—maybe ten years. Along with VR and 3D printing, drones fall for me into the “living in the future” category—they’re tech that was fun to imagine, and now you can actually buy it. So I did: I had a few Nano QX drones from Horizon. They were cheap even back then, around 120CHF if I remember correctly, and they now seem to sell for about 80CHF. They were fun: reasonably easy to control, very nimble, a lot of fun to fly. I used to take them into the office and we’d take turns to fly them in a basement corridor adjacent to the underground parking lot. # ⚓ v_everywhere_almost⠀⇛ ### gnu/linux of the debian 12 variety # ⚓ Inkscape_Countersheets_Extension_3.1⠀⇛ I just tagged the current version of my Inkscape Countersheets Extension on GitHub as release 3.1, since I recently got some help to make it not crash in recent versions of Inkscape and I thought it was good to make an official release at this point even if there has not been many major other changes. It is sad that the state of software “engineering” is such that backwards compatibility is a dying concept and that we keep inflicting “software rot” on each other like this, but in the ~15 years history of my Inkscape extensions most of the time I spent on it has basically been this kind of wasted work just to keep up with Inkscape API changes. There are a few neat new features though, mostly also contributed by others, so it is not all wasted. # § Internet/Gemini⠀➾ # ⚓ Re:_Why_you_no_BBS?⠀⇛ And same can be said for Station, Geddit etc. And I’m not into it. I just don’t like making silo accounts all over the place. I’ve had a few Reddit accounts, and accounts on Discourse or Vanilla sites like Story- Games, and the big bad evil elephant in the room called BoardGameGeek, but I’m not happy about it. # ⚓ Giving_Up_a_Static_IP⠀⇛ Ever since it was first launched, I’ve hosted Rob’s Gemini Capsule on a local machine from my home Internet connection. Yesterday, almost two and a half years later, I decided to move the capsule to AWS. It was a tough decision, primarily because of my stance on digital autonomy. I believe in the right to establish one’s own presence in cyberspace however one wishes, including entirely on one’s own terms. I’ve exercised that right for years by insisting on a static IP address for my home Internet connection and hosting my own services from there. However, at our new house, we have to subscribe to a business Internet plan to get a static IP and CPE bridging in our ISP’s infrastructure for opening ports. That increased our monthly Internet by $50, and since I only host a Gemini capsule right now, I was essentially paying $50 a month just for Gemini hosting. I was willing to pay the extra cost for future flexibility, but in recent weeks we’ve entered a period of tight finances, and it became necessary to migrate the capsule in order to save money. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.

Well, Star Labs have turned their StarLite laptop into a tablet. I have to admit, I love the form factor on this giving you the best of both worlds. You get a sweet fully Linux supported tablet, and you can hook it up to a magnetic keyboard to get a full laptop experience too. # ⚓ CNX Software ☛ StarLite_Mk_V_2-in-1_Linux_hybrid_laptop features_Processor_N200_processor⠀⇛ Just last month, Star Labs introduced the Byte Mk II Intel Processor N200-based mini PC with a choice of Linux distributions that include Ubuntu 22.04, Linux Mint, Manjaro, Zorin OS, and others, as well as Coreboot support. The company has now introduced another Linux hardware platform powered by the Processor N200 Alder-Lake-N CPU with the StarLite Mk V 2-in- 1 hybrid laptop with a 12.6-inch tablet and a detachable keyboard available in six different layouts. # ⚓ Linuxiac ☛ StarLite_5_Is_a_Linux_Tablet_Powered_by_Intel Alder_Lake_N200 ⠀⇛ Star Labs stands out as a visionary company with an unwavering focus on Linux-powered solutions. Guided by a passion for open-source principles, the company empowers users to embrace customization, security, and performance through its diverse lineup of devices. As the demand for versatile and Linux-powered tablets continues to rise, the StarLite 5 steps onto the stage with a bold statement of intent. Combining the flexibility and customization options of the Linux operating system with the sheer horsepower of the Intel N200 CPU, the StarLite 5 tablet promises an experience that caters to both casual users and tech enthusiasts alike. # ⚓ Liliputing ☛ StarLite_Mk_V_is_a_Linux_tablet_with_Intel N200,_16GB_RAM_and_a_keyboard_cover⠀⇛ o § Server⠀➾ # ⚓ Containerizing_Legacy_Apps_Speeds_Cloud_Migration [Ed: "Clown Migration" should not be the goal; outsourcing cargo cult (letting few companies and usually one country control the world's computing)]⠀⇛ Many cloud platform providers are collaborating with customers to transition applications from data centers using containerization. o § Kernel Space⠀➾ # ⚓ Video Cardz ☛ AMD_started_working_on_Ryzen_8000_APUs_GPU drivers_for_Linux⠀⇛ As reported by Phoronix, AMD has begun deployment of the next-gen GPU architecture which is now officially called GFX 11.5. This architecture is likely to be the initial indication of the forthcoming RDNA 3.5 (or Navi 3.5) GPU series, which is scheduled to commence next year. o § Graphics Stack⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Recent_NVIDIA_drivers_are_causing_issues for_Proton⠀⇛ Have you been seeing some problems with the NVIDIA 535 driver series when trying to run Steam games on Linux with Proton? Well, you’re not alone but investigations are under way. Here’s what’s happening. o § Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ DebugPoint ☛ File_Shredder:_Safeguard_Your_Data_with_Secure Deletion_on_Linux⠀⇛ When you delete any file from any operating system (Linux, Windows, etc.), the story isn’t as simple as it seems. The operating system doesn’t immediately delete the data; instead, it marks the space on your hard drive as available and removes the file from the directory structure. This means that, until overwritten, the actual data remains on your disk. This leaves room for potential security breaches, as determined actors could recover seemingly deleted files and gain access to sensitive information. Well, you need to take advantage of software such as “File Shredder”, which manually replaces the 1s and 0s on your disk to completely remove the data forever. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ OBS_Studio_30.0_Beta_1_released_supporting Intel_QSV_on_Linux⠀⇛ The free and open source video recording and livestreaming app OBS Studio is readying up another release, with OBS Studio 30.0 Beta 1 now available for testing. # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ The_5_Best_Linux_Tools_for_Directory Bursting⠀⇛ In the reconnaissance stage of every web application pentest, it is essential to find possible directories on the application. These directories might hold significant information and findings that would help you greatly to find vulnerabilities in the application and improve its security. Luckily, there are tools on the internet that make directory brute-forcing easier, automated, and faster. Here are five directory-bursting tools on Linux to enumerate hidden directories on a web application. # ⚓ Fedora Magazine ☛ TransFLAC:_Convert_FLAC_to_lossy formats⠀⇛ FLAC, or Free Lossless Audio Codec, is a lossless audio compression format that preserves all the original audio data. This means that FLAC files can be decoded to an identical copy of the original audio file, without any loss in quality. However, lossless compression typically results in larger file sizes than lossy compression, which is why a method to convert FLAC to lossy formats is desirable. This is where TransFLAC can help. FLAC is a popular format for archiving digital audio files, as well as for storing music collections on home computers. It is also becoming increasingly common for music streaming services to offer FLAC as an option for high-quality audio. For portable devices, where storage space is limited, lossy audio formats such as MP3, AAC, and OGG Vorbis are often used. These formats can achieve much smaller file sizes than lossless formats, while still providing good sound quality. o § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ # ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ How_to_Monitor_Network_Usage_for_Processes_on Linux⠀⇛ Internet access is essential, but you may wonder which Linux processes use your connection the most on your computer. Fortunately, with some common Linux utilities, monitoring which processes use your bandwidth is easy. Here are some of them: # ⚓ Terence Eden ☛ My_Underkill_Home_Network⠀⇛ There’s an absolutely delightfully bonkers post doing the rounds called “My Overkill Home Network” – which is a look into what happens when a computer geek goes feral and stuffs as many Internet connected thingamajigs in a living space. We’re talking professional grade, rack mounted, doubly redundant, over-specced, equipment. Overkill is underselling it. I wondered how my home network looked in comparison. A few years ago I was complaining that routers which limit users to 128 WiFi devices weren’t suitable for the average family. I’m not quite at that many IP addresses – but I’m closing in. So, here’s my attempt to map my network – with a splash of colour to explain the different protocols at play. # ⚓ OSTechNix ☛ Zypper_Command_Examples:_A_Beginner’s_Guide_to the_SUSE_Linux_Package_Manager⠀⇛ Zypper is a powerful command-line package manager for SUSE and openSUSE Linux. It can be used to install, update, remove, and manage packages on your system. Zypper also provides features for managing repositories, resolving dependencies, and checking for security updates. This detailed guide presents a curated list of 16 useful Zypper Linux command examples for efficient package management in SUSE Linux operating system. # ⚓ Linux Handbook ☛ Schedule_a_Shutdown_in_Linux_Command Line⠀⇛ Got to shut down the Linux system but have to wait for a process to finish? o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Get_a_bunch_of_building_and_management_sims in_this_fresh_Humble_Bundle⠀⇛ Another interesting looking set of games is live with the If You Build It – Cities & More Bundle. So here’s your usual run over compatibility on desktop Linux and Steam Deck. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ No_Man’s_Sky_has_a_teaser_for_the_‘Echoes’ update_to_celebrate_7_years⠀⇛ Coming soon they say, a fresh big update to No Man’s Sky is on the way and they’re celebrating 7 years since the release with a new video. Teasing the ECHOES update, the trailer doesn’t really give any proper hints as to what it will be, as it’s going over the 7 year free update cycle. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ No_sound_in_War_Thunder_on_Linux?_Here’s_a potential_solution⠀⇛ War Thunder is a game I enjoy playing with friends quite a lot, and after recently Linux distro hopping from Fedora to openSUSE and then back to the safety of Kubuntu – my sound in War Thunder wouldn’t work. But I have a potential solution for you that worked for me. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ SteamVR_Beta_gets_some_improvements_for Linux⠀⇛ Valve has pushed out a fresh SteamVR Beta, and it seems they’ve begun cleaning up the Linux side of it that’s had some issues plaguing it recently. # ⚓ GamingOnLinux ☛ Fallout_4:_Game_of_the_Year_Edition_gets_a GOG_release_and_75%_off⠀⇛ Good news for fans of DRM free gaming and GOG store users, as Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition is now available although it doesn’t support Creation Club. o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾ # § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾ # ⚓ Nate Graham ☛ This_week_in_KDE:_Double-click_by default⠀⇛ This was a week of huge changes and improvements, starting with our headliner! Yes it’s true, by default in Plasma 6, you’ll single-click to select files and folders, and double-click to open them. The patches have now landed, done by me. This remains user- configurable, of course. But there’s a whole lot more to talk about as well! This is gonna be a big one… * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o ⚓ ROS Industrial ☛ 10th_Meeting_of_the_ROS-Industrial_Consortium Americas_highlights_reaffirming_of_the_mission⠀⇛ On May 25 in Detroit the ROS-Industrial Consortium Americas (RICA) held the 10th iteration of the annual meeting, where Consortium members can get together, learn from each other, assess the state of the ROS-Industrial open-source project and provide feedback and engage in guided discussions, all with the intent of providing a two way interaction to understand the state and happenings relative to ROS-I and to provide their needs and areas for improvement. o § Fedora Family / IBM⠀➾ # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ 3_ways_the_oc_command_helps_you_take command_of_the_cloud⠀⇛ “The cloud” is an evocative name, but to anyone used to bare metal servers or desktop workstations, it is a painful reminder of the intangibility of a strange new computing environment. The cloud isn’t a singular thing you can pick up and take back to your workshop; there’s no hard drive or even a real CPU, at least not in the sense that you can pry open to upgrade or troubleshoot. If that sounds familiar, you might want to try the oc command, which provides a simple and singular interface from your workstation to your cluster. Here are three ways the oc command helps you take control of your cloud-based computer, whether you’re running Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) or Red Hat OpenShift Local. # ⚓ What’s_New_and_Next_in_Private_Automation_Hub⠀⇛ Private automation hub is on its way to being the content management system for the Ansible Automation Platform through enhancing software supply chain security, organizing & synchronizing content, task management, and more. Check out what’s new and next. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Better_securing_the_frontlines: Leveraging_Ansible_Automation_Platform_and_AIDE_for_DoD_file integrity⠀⇛ A lot of system administrators within the Department of Defense already use the Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE). This is mainly because of a Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) that states that a file integrity checker must be configured to verify extended file attributes. There are a lot of features to AIDE, and the combination of using AIDE with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform gives you the ability to automate important corrections to your system configuration. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ 10_Linux_commands_for_Red_Hat_OpenShift Service_on_AWS_users⠀⇛ Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat OpenShift provide users and admins with a friendly graphical UI for easier cloud management. But even with a clear UI, if you’re running applications in the cloud, there’s a good chance Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) users can benefit from knowing some essential Linux commands. Running a command in a terminal is fast and direct. It lets you communicate exactly what you want to happen, in one succinct sentence. There are hundreds of commands on a typical Linux system though, so here are 10 of the most important commands ROSA users need to know. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ KPMG_improves_outcomes_for_state_citizen services_through_a_modern_systems_integration_platform⠀⇛ KPMG built the KPMG Resource Integration Suite (KRIS) Connected Platform for the State of Tennessee Department of Human Services (TDHS) to help serve citizens most in need—and to do that fast. KRIS connects siloed monolithic legacy information systems that support citizen support services such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Family (TANF), and Low-Income Home Energy Assistance (LIHEAP). These services were previously fragmented and only accessible via individual offices. The citizen services provided by TDHS were fragmented, and citizens had to visit different websites to access each individual service. TDHS wanted to give its residents faster access to its services in one place, and make them more comprehensive. It also decided to make new engagement channels available to residents including virtual, online, and remote services. # ⚓ Red Hat Official ☛ Why_choose_Red_Hat_OpenShift_Service_on AWS?⠀⇛ You know you need to move to the cloud, but do you know why you need to move to the cloud?  You might (rightly) feel some skepticism about moving to a new platform just because it’s grabbed the attention of the tech world, and it doesn’t help that there are so many platforms to choose from. You should question a move to the cloud. That’s not only the sensible thing to do, it’s the responsible thing to do.  o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾ # ⚓ Behind_Ubuntu_Budgie_Infrastructure⠀⇛ Making and maintaining a distribution, be it an independent distro or a flavor of a bigger one, such as Ubuntu Budgie, requires a good infrastructure setup to make sure that everything is reliable and functioning like a well oiled machine. In case of a Ubuntu Budgie, we made sure to make a setup that is both easy to use and sturdy. The first step, the most visible part is this website that you are currently reading this post on. The website itself is powered by a WordPress installation. There were a lot of discussions on what to use for our website among the team, ranging from custom CMS, static HTML, Grav and other CMS (Content Management System). Most of the posts are written in Markdown that is then converted to HTML when publishing a post. Some of you may be wondering why Markdown as choice, doesn’t WordPress use WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor? While this is true, markdown allows us to be lean and write from anywhere and at any time and just get text ready for publishing. There is no need to login and start writing from a browser. We can write a post from a code editor and then copy/paste. Other parts of the website however are managed using WYSIWYG editor, such as Downloads page, About us, etc. o § Devices/Embedded⠀➾ # ⚓ TouchOSC_Is_Now_Available_Cross-Platform_For_Android,_Linux –_Selector⠀⇛ After a major next-generation update, TouchOSC now works cross-platform with Android, Linux, Raspberry Pi devices and Wacom tablets. Once exclusively for Apple iOS, version 1.2.2 of the OSC-based controller app works with “all major operating systems and architecture, and the full feature set is available across all versions,” according to their website. # ⚓ Arduino ☛ James_Bruton_builds_a_real_Zelda_Stabilizer_Zonai Device⠀⇛ The central gimmick of the new Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game is the construction system, which is a lot of fun. You can fuse simple objects to build structures, but you can also add Zonai Devices to increase their functionality. # ⚓ Linux Gizmos ☛ Bootlin_offers_Embedded_Linux_course_for BeaglePlay⠀⇛ Bootlin recently released free and paid resources for the open-source BeaglePlay development board which was launched this year. The course goes over various Embedded Linux topics and targets hobbyists and professionals. # ⚓ Adafruit ☛ Bootlin_offers_open_source_embedded_Linux training_on_BeaglePlay⠀⇛ Bootlin is an engineering company specialized in embedded Linux. BeagleBoard.org is a US-based non- profit organization releasing open source Linux- enabled open source single board computer (SBC) designs, including BeaglePlay, a quad-core low- power Linux SBC optimized for long-range network connections and simple sensor additions with mikroBUS, QWIIC/STEMMA-QT and Grove connectors. o § Open Hardware/Modding⠀➾ # ⚓ Andrew Hutchings ☛ Amiga_4000_Restoration_x2:_Part_7⠀⇛ I last left the motherboard with one more repair to make. In the background, some new parts have been 3D printing, whilst others have been cleaned and retrobrighted. Let’s continue! # ⚓ Hackster ☛ Zhou_Xu’s_Blackberry_Pi_Is_a_ZX_Spectrum-Themed Raspberry_Pi-Powered_3D-Printed_Linux_Handheld⠀⇛ As a result, the Blackberry Pi is driven by a first-generation Raspberry Pi Zero W, a low-power single-board computer nevertheless powerful enough to run a desktop Linux environment, connected to a Gearbest 320×240 color LCD. Beneath the display is a Solder Party BBQ20KBD, which converts old BlackBerry keyboards and trackpads for use with other devices — over USB, Qwiic/STEMMA QT, and PMOD connectors. * § Free, Libre, and Open Source Software⠀➾ o § SaaS/Back End/Databases⠀➾ # ⚓ EnterpriseDB_Extends_Kubernetes_Alliance_for_Postgres_With Google⠀⇛ EnterpriseDB expands its Google alliance with an open source Postgres database provided on the Google Kubernetes Engine cloud service. o § Programming/Development⠀➾ # ⚓ A_summer_of_catching_up⠀⇛ The feeling of this summer is one of catching up. Last summer was intense due to changes in the family followed by decease and death, leaving with me as a full time single parent. To my great joy, I’ve met someone who is special to me, so this summer has been about getting our families to work as one. It has been fun, but also very intense. This means that my focus on engagements that I used to do has been very focused on deadlines and what must be done, rather than what I take pleasure in doing. That means economic reporting for foss-north and such. I pushed hard to make foss-north possible this year, and am very happy that it did. However, I’m still catching up in the post event activities. # ⚓ Andrew Healey ☛ Porting_Boolrule_To_Rust⠀⇛ Building this port was harder than I predicted. I had to learn a parsing library, work out how the lesser-used operators of boolrule work, and look into how Python evaluates tuple comparisons. For example, assert (1, print) < (2, None) is valid, non-erroring, Python code. The the tuples stop being compared after the first index – it’s True. # ⚓ Rlang ☛ Exploring_Data_Distribution_with_Box_Plots_in_R⠀⇛ Are you ready to dive into the world of data visualization in R? One powerful tool at your disposal is the box plot, also known as a box-and- whisker plot. This versatile chart can help you understand the distribution of your data and identify potential outliers. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the process of creating box plots using R’s ggplot2 package, using the airquality dataset as an example. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced R programmer, you’ll find something valuable here. # ⚓ Russ Cox ☛ C_and_C++_Prioritize_Performance_over Correctness⠀⇛ The original ANSI C standard, C89, introduced the concept of “undefined behavior,” which was used both to describe the effect of outright bugs like accessing memory in a freed object and also to capture the fact that existing implementations differed about handling certain aspects of the language, including use of uninitialized values, signed integer overflow, and null pointer handling. * § Leftovers⠀➾ o § Science⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ A_closer_look_at_Harvard_and_Google’s_HPC heart_research_project⠀⇛ Google is working with Harvard University on a medical research program using public cloud resources rather than a supercomputer to run very large scale simulations.. The research in question involves simulations for a novel approach to unclogging arteries in tackling heart disease. The complexity of the simulations and the amount of data they requires tons of compute. So much, in fact, that only a few supercomputers in the world would be suitable. Getting access to these supers for large-scale research can be difficult, but the program will highlight how cloud resources can be used instead. o § Education⠀➾ # ⚓ Chronicle Of Higher Education ☛ Scholars_See_Dangerous Precedent_in_West_Virginia_U.’s_Plan_to_Cut_Foreign Languages⠀⇛ “It never occurred to me that at this point in my career, after having invested so much time in a university I love and of which I’m an alum, that I would have to find some other means of supporting myself,” said Di Bartolomeo, who arrived at WVU in 2005. Blowback to the university’s decision rippled across academe. L.J. Randolph Jr., president-elect of ACTFL, pointed out that West Virginia’s mission statement, like that of many universities, gestures at its “global” aspirations. “How can you claim that this is part of your mission,” he said, “if you don’t have a language program?” o § Hardware⠀➾ # ⚓ Broadband Breakfast ☛ Nokia_Claims_First_U.S.-Based_Optical Fiber_Module_Manufacturer_for_BEAD_Projects⠀⇛ Requirements under the Infrastructure, Investment and Jobs Act’s BEAD program state that program recipients must source at least 55 percent of their components by cost from the United States, either manufactured, produced, or mined in the country. The requirement is part of President Joe Biden’s agenda to support the country’s manufacturing economy. o § Health/Nutrition/Agriculture⠀➾ # ⚓ Farmer_grows_250,000_sunflowers_to_make_trail⠀⇛ Incredible photos show how a farmer used 250,000 sunflowers to create a massive trail in his field, bringing in visitors from as far away as Australia. Crawford Niven, 26, first came up with the idea for his amazing temporary pathway at his farm in Gloagburn Farm, near Perth, Scotland, three years ago. And now thousands of visitors flock to his estate to walk among the seven-foot-tall flowers, which they’re even allowed to pick and take home. o § Proprietary/Artificial Intelligence (AI)⠀➾ # ⚓ CoryDoctorow ☛ “Open”_“AI”_isn’t⠀⇛ Openwashing is the trick that large “AI” companies use to evade regulation and neutralizing critics, by casting themselves as forces of ethical capitalism, committed to the virtue of openness. No one should be surprised to learn that the products of the “open” wing of an industry whose products are neither “artificial,” nor “intelligent,” are also not “open.” Every word AI huxters say is a lie; including “and,” and “the.” # ⚓ CBC ☛ Microsoft_pulls_article_recommending_Ottawa_Food_Bank to_tourists⠀⇛ The list was rife with errors. It featured a photo of the Rideau River in an entry about the Rideau Canal, and a photo of the Rideau Canal in an entry about Parc Omega near Montebello, Que. It advised tourists to enjoy the pristine grass of “Parliament Hills.” But the Ottawa Food Bank entry earned the most mockery in technology publications and on social media. The article called the food bank one of Ottawa’s “beautiful attractions,” before putting it third on the list. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Microsoft_Deletes_Bizarre_AI-Generated_Travel Guide_That_Recommended_Visiting_Food_Bank_With_an_“Empty Stomach”⠀⇛ The embarrassing listicle was spotted by tech writer Paris Marx on Thursday. It ranked the Ottawa Food Bank smack dab in third place among the capital’s must-see tourist attractions, only below The Winterlude Festival and the National War Memorial — all of which it calls “beautiful attractions” that you “cannot miss!” # ⚓ Futurism ☛ 3D_Printers_Go_Rogue,_Start_Printing_While Owners_Are_Asleep⠀⇛ Bambu explained on its official blog that it “experienced an unexpected cloud outage,” causing what it’s calling “job jamming.” After its cloud service went down, any jobs sent to Bambu’s printers during this period went unconfirmed, leading to requests being sent repeatedly, even after the service resumed. “Simply explained, the print job sent to the printer before was trapped on the cloud and had a delayed start,” Bambu wrote. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ What_DARPA_wants,_DARPA_gets:_A_non-hacky way_to_fix_bugs_in_legacy_binaries⠀⇛ We know what you’re thinking: Uncle Sam is reinventing decompilation. It certainly sounds like it. There are lots of decompilation and reverse- engineering tools out there for turning executable machine-level code into corresponding source code in human-readable high-level language like C or C++. That decompiled source, however, tends to be messy and hard to follow, and is typically used for figuring out how a program works and whether any bugs are exploitable. From what we can tell, this DARPA program seeks a highly robust, automated method of converting executable files into a high-level format developers can not only read – a highly abstract representation, or HAR, in this case – but also edit to remove flaws and add functionality, and reassemble it all back into a program that will work as expected. That’s a bit of a manual, error- prone chore even for highly skilled types using today’s reverse-engineering tools, which isn’t what you want near code going into things like aircraft. # § Windows TCO⠀➾ # ⚓ IT Wire ☛ Flashpoint_report_shows_Australia_among ‘most_targeted_[sic]_countries’_for_ransomware_attacks in_July [Ed: Windows TCO]⠀⇛ Risk intelligence company Flashpoint has published its July Cyber Threat Intelligence Index which shows Australia was in the top 10 countries for ransomware attacks last month. o § Pseudo-Open Source⠀➾ # § Openwashing⠀➾ # ⚓ SSRN ☛ Open_(For_Business):_Big_Tech,_Concentrated Power,_and_the_Political_Economy_of_Open_AI⠀⇛ This paper examines ‘open’ AI in the context of recent attention to open and open source AI systems. We find that the terms ‘open’ and ‘open source’ are used in confusing and diverse ways, often constituting more aspiration or marketing than technical descriptor, and frequently blending concepts from both open source software and open science. This complicates an already complex landscape, in which there is currently no agreed on definition of ‘open’ in the context of AI, and as such the term is being applied to widely divergent offerings with little reference to a stable descriptor. So, what exactly is ‘open’ about ‘open’ AI, and what does ‘open’ AI enable? To better answer these questions we begin this paper by looking at the various resources required to create and deploy AI systems, alongside the components that comprise these systems. We do this with an eye to which of these can, or cannot, be made open to scrutiny, reuse, and extension. What does ‘open’ mean in practice, and what are its limits in the context of AI? We find that while a handful of maximally open AI systems exist, which offer intentional and extensive transparency, reusability, and extensibility– the resources needed to build AI from scratch, and to deploy large AI systems at scale, remain ‘closed’—available only to those with significant (almost always corporate) resources. From here, we zoom out and examine the history of open source, its cleave from free software in the mid 1990s, and the contested processes by which open source has been incorporated into, and instrumented by, large tech corporations. As a current day example of the overbroad and ill-defined use of the term by tech companies, we look at ‘open’ in the context of OpenAI the company. We trace its moves from a humanity-focused nonprofit to a for-profit partnered with Microsoft, and its shifting position on ‘open’ AI. Finally, we examine the current discourse around ‘open’ AI–looking at how the term and the (mis)understandings about what ‘open’ enables are being deployed to shape the public’s and policymakers’ understanding about AI, its capabilities, and the power of the AI industry. In particular, we examine the arguments being made for and against ‘open’ and open source AI, who’s making them, and how they are being deployed in the debate over AI regulation. Taken together, we find that ‘open’ AI can, in its more maximal instantiations, provide transparency, reusability, and extensibility that can enable third parties to deploy and build on top of powerful off-the-shelf AI models. These maximalist forms of ‘open’ AI can also allow some forms of auditing and oversight. But even the most open of ‘open’ AI systems do not, on their own, ensure democratic access to or meaningful competition in AI, nor does openness alone solve the problem of oversight and scrutiny. While we recognize that there is a vibrant community of earnest contributors building and contributing to ‘open’ AI efforts in the name of expanding access and insight, we also find that marketing around openness and investment in (somewhat) open AI systems is being leveraged by powerful companies to bolster their positions in the face of growing interest in AI regulation. And that some companies have moved to embrace ‘open’ AI as a mechanism to entrench dominance, using the rhetoric of ‘open’ AI to expand market power while investing in ‘open’ AI efforts in ways that allow them to set standards of development while benefiting from the free labor of open source contributors. o § Security⠀➾ # ⚓ LWN ☛ Security_updates_for_Friday_[LWN.net]⠀⇛ Security updates have been issued by Debian (chromium, rar, and unrar-nonfree), Fedora (microcode_ctl, trafficserver, and webkitgtk), SUSE (ImageMagick, kernel, nodejs16, nodejs18, postgresql12, postgresql15, re2c, and samba), and Ubuntu (ghostscript, haproxy, linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-5.15, linux-gcp, linux-hwe-5.15, linux- ibm, linux-intel-iotg, linux-intel-iotg-5.15, linux-kvm, linux-lowlatency, linux-lowlatency-hwe- 5.15, linux-nvidia, linux-oracle, linux-oracle- 5.15, linux-raspi, linux-hwe-5.4, linux-xilinx- zynqmp, poppler, and zziplib). # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ Listing_for_sale_of_U.S._Education Department_data_may_not_be_what_you_expect⠀⇛ Yesterday, a listing appeared on a popular hacking forum offering data for sale that were reported to be from the US Department of Education (Ed.gov). According to the listing, the leaked information includes: “ID, UserID, UserName, MobileNumber, LevelID, ConsumerID, Type, FeedBack, SubjectID, Subject, Replied, Token, Completed, Date, Updated, Deleted, and Origin” DataBreaches contacted the seller, who is known to this site from previous activities, to ask about the actual source of the data. He responded promptly via private message: “The database is from the NAEP. It’s related to the National Report Card. The database is a feedback database from students to teachers or education providers about progress or questions in general.” He added that the data had been given to him by someone else, and might be months old, but he wasn’t certain. # ⚓ Police_officer_loses_laptop_and_notebook_as_he_drives_along motorway_after_leaving_them_on_roof_of_his_car_in_fourth_data breach_by_single_police_force⠀⇛ A police officer lost his laptop and notebook as he drove along the motorway after leaving them on the roof of his car – in the fourth data breach by a single force. The PSNI said it is investigating after a senior officer revealed sections of the lost notebook remain outstanding. # ⚓ Data Breaches ☛ Morris_Hospital_discloses_breach_that_Royal claimed_responsibility_for_in_May;_notifies_248,943⠀⇛ Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers (Morris Hospital) has issued a notification concerning a cybersecurity incident they discovered on April 4. The incident affects current and former patients of Morris Hospital and current and former employees and their dependents or beneficiaries. According to their explanation, their forensic investigation determined that “just prior to the incident,” data was exfiltrated to an external storage platform by an unauthorized individual or individuals. The exported files contained records with the names, addresses, dates of birth, social security numbers, medical record numbers and account numbers, and diagnostic codes of current and former healthcare patients at Morris Hospital AND the names, addresses, social security numbers, and dates of birth of current and former employees and their dependents and beneficiaries. # ⚓ Insider-Wrongdoing_in_the_Healthcare_Sector⠀⇛ In 2016, when Protenus and DataBreaches first began collaborating on collecting and analyzing data from reported breaches involving health data, we focused on what is often called the “insider threat” by breaking it down into two categories: human error or breaches due to accidents, which we called “insider-error,” and breaches due to intentional wrongdoing by employees or contractors, which we called “insider-wrongdoing.” Because we have used this categorization for the last few years, we thought this might be a good time to do a look-back and see if, using that framework, insider- wrongdoing reports appear to have increased, decreased or stayed approximately the same over the years. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Malicious_QR_Codes_Used_in_Phishing_Attack Targeting_US_Energy_Company [Ed: This fake novelty of "barcode" and "smart" phones was always a bad idea, a gimmick promoted by cargo cultists]⠀⇛ A widespread phishing campaign utilizing malicious QR codes has hit organizations in various industries, including a major energy company in the US. # ⚓ Security Week ☛ Cisco_Patches_High-Severity_Vulnerabilities in_Enterprise_Applications [Ed: "Enterprise" means back doored?]⠀⇛ Cisco has patched high-severity vulnerabilities in enterprise applications that could lead to privilege escalation, SQL injection, and denial-of- service. # ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ How_to_secure_your_database_|_Ubuntu⠀⇛ Cybersecurity threats are increasing in volume, complexity and impact. Yet, organisations struggle to counter these growing threats. Cyber attacks often intend to steal, damage, hijack or alter value-generating data. In this article around database security, we use the NIST framework to lay out the common controls that you can implement to secure your databases. Let’s start by discussing the potential impact of unsecured databases. # § Privacy/Surveillance⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ YouTube_accused_of_aiming_ads_at kids_after_promising_it_wouldn’t_do_that⠀⇛ The report begins with a disclaimer that says it’s not offering any legal opinion. Rather, it flags client-side identifiers – eg, those contained in cookies – that play a role in advertising. How these identifiers get used is central to the claims made by Adalytics. If YouTube is in fact setting unique identifiers that can be used to track kids online, and is doing so without parental consent, that’s potentially a violation of COPPA. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Stalking_victims_sue_Tile_and Amazon_for_negligence_over_tracking_tech⠀⇛ Amazon’s nationwide location-tracking program, Sidewalk, uses Bluetooth networks supported by Amazon customers who have home devices including some models of Echo, Ring Floodlight Cams, and Ring Spotlight Cams. The suit claims that “as of March 31, 2023, Amazon claims that the Sidewalk network reaches of 90 percent of the United States population.” Amazon says on its product page that device owners all contribute a small portion of their [Internet] bandwidth, which is then pooled together to create a shared network that “benefits all Sidewalk-enabled devices in a community.” Sidewalk uses “Bluetooth, the 900 MHz spectrum and other frequencies to extend coverage and provide these benefits.” # ⚓ International Business Times ☛ Thought_cash_was_dead? Think_again⠀⇛ However, whilst digital payment solutions may be increasingly driving payments domestically, there is one area where cash remains king. In fact, it’s an area of spending where cash not only remains dominant but where its usage and popularity haven’t even peaked yet. That area is travel money. It may seem surprising, but for most people around the world, even in a digital age, their preferred form of payment when they travel is cash. o § Defence/Aggression⠀➾ # ⚓ teleSUR ☛ Sweden_Thwarts_Several_Terrorist_Attempts:_PM Kristersson⠀⇛ Justice Minister Gunnar Strommer said: “During spring, several people were arrested in Sweden and abroad suspected of having prepared attacks in Sweden.” Strommer did not comment further on these arrests, but Swedish Television (SVT) reported that there were at least two known cases. # ⚓ The Local SE ☛ INTERVIEW:_Terror_threat_against_Sweden_is unprecedented,_expert_warns⠀⇛ The focus on Sweden today, he said, was greater than it had been after the artist Lars Vilks caused controversy with his drawings of the Prophet Mohammed as a dog in 2007, or after 2012 and 2013 when some 300 young Swedish residents went to Syria and Iraq to join the Islamic State terror group, or in 2015 to 2016 after the terror attacks in Paris and Brussels. # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Brands_Horrified_When_Their_Twitter_Ads_Appear on_Nazi_Posts⠀⇛ In a recent report, nonprofit news watchdog Media Matters for America found that ads of mainstream brands ran next to content celebrating Hitler and the Nazi Party — which shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering the fast-and-loose governing of the platform by owner Elon Musk. o § Environment⠀➾ # ⚓ Common Dreams ☛ In_Maui_Visit,_Biden_Should_Support_Climate Lawsuits_Against_Big_Oil⠀⇛ “Simply connecting the deadly Maui fires and other recent disasters to climate change is not enough; it’s time for President Biden to make clear to the American people that the oil and gas industry must be held accountable for their lies and pollution that continue to fuel the climate crisis.” # ⚓ Futurism ☛ 200_Ships_Are_Stuck_in_the_Panama_Canal⠀⇛ Daily traffic is currently capped at 32 ships, which is down from the prior average of about 36 when there’s enough water for the canal — which uses more than 50 million gallons of water per day — to operate at full capacity. # ⚓ Axios ☛ Major_Hurricane_Hilary_reaches_Category_3 intensity⠀⇛ Hurricane Hilary rapidly_strengthened into a major hurricane Thursday, and it’s poised to bring an array of life-threatening hazards to California and neighboring states beginning this weekend. The big picture:An intensifying Hilary’s peak winds had increased to 125 mph at 11pm ET. It is forecast to approach the Baja Peninsula of California on Saturday, bringing flooding rains into southern California, Nevada and Arizona from this weekend into early next week. # ⚓ Axios ☛ Maui_emergency_chief_resigns_with_immediate_effect amid_Hawai’i_fires_response⠀⇛ Maui Emergency Management Agency’s top official resigned Thursday after facing criticism over the response to Hawai’i’s_catastrophic_wildfires that have killed at least 111 people. Driving the news:Herman Andaya cited “health reasons” as he resigned as the agency’s administrator with immediate effect, per a Maui County statement. # ⚓ Federal News Network ☛ Maui’s_emergency_services_chief resigns_after_facing_criticism_for_not_activating_sirens during_fire⠀⇛ The head of the Maui Emergency Management Agency has resigned after facing criticims for not activating disaster sirens during last week’s deadly wildfires that killed at least 111 people. The County of Maui announced Thursday on Facebook that Mayor Richard Bissen accepted the resignation of Herman Andaya, who cited unspecified health reasons for leaving his post. Bissen said that “given the gravity of the crisis we are facing,” a replacement will be named as soon as possible. On Wednesday, Andaya defended the decision not to sound sirens as flames raged. Andaya said officials were afraid the sirens would have prompted people to flee toward the mountains or inland, or into the flames. # § Energy/Transportation⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Our_AI_habit_is_already_changing the_way_we_build_datacenters⠀⇛ In your typical datacenter, cold air is pulled through a rack full of compute, networking, and storage systems. At the back, the heated air is then captured and ejected by the facility’s cooling infrastructure. This paradigm works just fine for 6-10kW racks, but starts to fall apart when you start deploying the kinds of systems used to train AI models like GPT-4. Modern GPU nodes can easily consume an entire rack’s worth of power. And this is forcing datacenter operators to make some serious design changes. # ⚓ The Drone Girl ☛ Two_passenger_aircraft_just_flew without_a_pilot_in_the_shadow_of_Silicon_Valley⠀⇛ The two flights were run by two different companies running two completely different aircraft. The first was a 4,100-pound, twin- propeller Centaur aircraft from Aurora Flight Sciences, which is a subsidiary of the Boeing Company, and can be flown as either a piloted, remotely piloted or hybrid aircraft. The second was an aircraft designed to be fully automated from Reliable Robotics. # § Overpopulation⠀➾ # ⚓ Futurism ☛ Scientist_Predicts_Brutal_“Population Correction”⠀⇛ So where does that all leave the fate of humanity? Rees argues that it’s “unlikely” humans will go extinct given technological advancements. But the toll could still be grim. “That said, rebounding negative feedbacks — climate chaos, food and other resource shortages, civil disorder, resource wars, etc. — may well eliminate prospects for an advanced worldwide civilization,” he concluded. o § Finance⠀➾ # ⚓ Gizmodo ☛ Pentagon_Launches_Study_on_How_to_Start_an Economy_on_the_Moon_in_the_Next_10_Years⠀⇛ In an attempt to guide ongoing efforts in establishing a lunar infrastructure, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) kicked off a seven-month study dedicated to developing an analytical framework for scientific and commercial activity on the Moon. Through the 10-Year Lunar Architecture, or LunA-10, study, DARPA is seeking ideas for technology and infrastructure concepts that could help build a Moon-based economy within the next decade. o § AstroTurf/Lobbying/Politics⠀➾ # ⚓ Teen Vogue ☛ YouTube_Has_Alex_Winter_Worried_About_the_2024 Election⠀⇛ “The YouTube Effect” explores the right-wing radicalization enabled by the platform, and how it’s shaped our politics in its less than 20 years of existence. Anyone who’s regularly used YouTube will recognize many of the interspersed clips; you may even recognize some of its interviewees, from video essayist ContraPoints, AKA Natalie Wynn, to the children’s YouTuber (and actual child) Ryan, interviewed alongside his parents. Teen Vogue spoke to Winter about the site’s impact on our elections, Andrew Tate, and more. This interview has been lightly edited and condensed for clarity. # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ A_license_to_trust:_Can_you_rely_on_‘open source’_companies?⠀⇛ Company after company has had their start in open source software, and then gone on to dump their open source licenses once they’ve achieved a measure of success. It’s time to stop it. With a handful of exceptions, everyone uses open source to build their programs. It simply works better. In the last few years, though, one business after another has launched its releases on the backs of open source developers and then dumped their open source license in favor of a semi- proprietary one. It’s not fair, and it’s not right. # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Meta’s_news_ban_in_Canada_is_getting_in_the_way_of Yellowknife_wildfire_evacuations⠀⇛ Bill C-18, or the Online News Act, which forces large social media platforms to pay Canadian news publishers for sharing their content, recently became law despite pushback from internet companies. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, said it would pull news from its subsidiaries if the requirement became mandatory—and on Aug. 1, it did. As the Northwest Territories battle 236 of the 1,050 fires active in the country, sharing information directly from credible news sources like national publisher CBC, local newspaper The Yellowknifer, and digital broadcaster Cabin Radio on social media is off the table for the 20,000 Yellowknife residents hit with an evacuation order. # § Misinformation/Disinformation/Propaganda⠀➾ # ⚓ Scoop News Group ☛ Online_influence_operators continue_fine-tuning_use_of_AI_to_deceive_their targets,_researchers_say⠀⇛ The use of artificial intelligence for malign purposes is limited but growing and maturing in key ways, researchers with Google’s Mandiant said Thursday. # ⚓ Reason ☛ Small-Town_Life_Is_the_Anti-Twitter⠀⇛ The era of the internet could use a little of the discipline, moderation, and tolerance imposed by a familiar, physical community. o § Censorship/Free Speech⠀➾ # ⚓ Quartz ☛ Environmental_activists_are_fleeing_Elon_Musk’s Twitter⠀⇛ A study (pdf) published in a journal called Trends in Evolution and Ecology on Aug.15 showed, that out of a sample of 380,000 environmentally oriented X users, “nearly 50% became inactive” after Musk’s acquisition. This rate, the researchers found, was “much higher than a control sample.” By April 2023, only 52.5% of sampled environmental activists on X were still active. # ⚓ Jacobin Magazine ☛ Stop_Cop_City_Activists_Are_Facing_20 Years_in_Prison_for_Distributing_Flyers⠀⇛ Charley Tennenbaum, a Stop Cop City activist, was charged with felony intimidation for flyering about the officers who shot an organizer 57 times. After months in prison, Tennenbaum spoke to Jacobin about Georgia’s crackdown on civil liberties. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Moscow_Court_Shuts_Rights_Center_That_Honors_Nobel Peace_Laureate_Andrei_Sakharov⠀⇛ The Moscow City Court has shut the Sakharov Center, a prominent human rights organization dedicated to upholding civil liberties in Russia, saying it illegally hosted events outside of the capital, released videos lacking a foreign agent label, and committed other administrative discrepancies. # ⚓ VOA News ☛ Hong_Kong_Seeks_Public_Help_in_Purging_Library Books⠀⇛ An invitation from Hong Kong authorities for citizens to report public library books that “endanger national security” has sent chills through the port city, analysts and some residents say. Some worry authorities are adopting tactics similar to those used in China and during the Cultural Revolution, others say the move will only further harm the city’s already tarnished image as a place that’s no longer free. # ⚓ The Local SE ☛ Sweden_launches_inquiry_into_stopping_Quran burnings_on_security_grounds⠀⇛ According to the “committee directive”, Larsson should by July 2024 propose changes to the law which will allow that “circumstances which threaten Sweden’s security can be taken into account in the process of deciding on permissions for public gatherings, and in weighing up whether to cancel or break up public gatherings”. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Iranian_Officials_Accuse_12_Activists_Of_Plotting To_Hold_Events_For_Anniversary_Of_Amini’s_Death⠀⇛ At least 500 people have been killed since protests broke out following the death of Amini, an Iranian Kurdish woman who was arrested while visiting Tehran for allegedly violating the country’s hijab law. The protests began as a rebuke against the brutal enforcement of the mandatory head scarf legislation, but soon snowballed into one of the most sustained demonstrations against Iran’s theocracy since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. # ⚓ RFERL ☛ Iranian_Professor_Who_Supported_Protests_Says_He’s Been_Expelled⠀⇛ Many Iranian university professors have faced expulsion for their support of the nationwide protests, while others have already been pushed from their jobs, including several professors at the University of Art in Tehran who were ousted earlier this month. # ⚓ RFA ☛ Popular_comedian_detained,_beaten_and_fined_for YouTube_videos,_relative_says⠀⇛ Relatives of a stand-up comedian said he was detained by police in Ho Chi Minh City, beaten and then fined for videos about social issues that he posted to his popular YouTube account six years ago. o § Freedom of Information / Freedom of the Press⠀➾ # ⚓ ANF News ☛ Sputnik_journalists_go_on_strike⠀⇛ Workers at Sputnik went on strike on Thursday. The action was organized by the Turkish Journalists’ Union (TGS), after the failure to reach an agreement in the collective bargaining negotiations between the TGS and Rossiya Segodnya International News Agency (Sputnik) Turkey Bureau. # ⚓ BIA Net ☛ Sputnik_Turkey_journalists_go_on_strike⠀⇛ “Our country is undergoing a severe economic crisis. Our wages cannot sustain us through the middle of the month. Nevertheless, when it comes to salary increases, the Sputnik management did not provide even a single proposal throughout all our discussions. That is why we are on strike against this dismissive stance.” # ⚓ CPJ ☛ Russia_fails_to_renew_Dutch_and_Finnish_journalists’ visas_and_accreditation⠀⇛ “Russian authorities’ opaque administrative procedures cannot hide their real agenda, which is to silence critical voices and progressively squeeze Western journalists out of the country,” said Carlos Martinez de la Serna, CPJ’s program director. “Russian authorities should renew Eva Hartog and Anna-Lena Laurén’s accreditation and visas at once and let them work freely in the country.” o § Civil Rights/Policing⠀➾ # ⚓ RFA ☛ Tibet’s_beloved_annual_yogurt_festival_spoiled_by heavy_police_presence⠀⇛ The heavy surveillance comes as Chinese authorities are maintaining a tight grip on Tibet, restricting Tibetans’ political activities and peaceful expression of cultural and religious identity. Tibetans frequently complain of discrimination and human rights abuses by Chinese authorities and policies they say are aimed at eradicating their national and cultural identity. # ⚓ NYPost ☛ 10-year-old_Mississippi_boy_arrested,_jailed_for peeing_behind_mom’s_car⠀⇛ She said the officer told her Quantavious could get back inside the car and that he would just give a warning, but several other cops then showed up, including a lieutenant who said the boy had to be hauled to jail. # ⚓ NDTV ☛ 10-Year-Old_US_Boy_Arrested_For_Urinating_Behind Mother’s_Car⠀⇛ The mother continued, “No, him urinating in the parking lot was not right, but at the same time I handled it like a parent and for one officer to tell my baby to get back in the car like it was OK and to have the other pull up and take him to jail. Like no. I’m just speechless right now. Why would you arrest a 10-year-old kid.” # ⚓ CBC ☛ Former_RNC_chief_says_he_was_forced_out_after_holding officers_to_account⠀⇛ “It was a concentrated effort by several to push me out the door because I was holding people accountable and that I wanted to open up the RNC and include the community into everything that we were doing,” Boland said. # ⚓ JURIST ☛ HRW:_China_must_address_increasingly_common_racist internet_content⠀⇛ HRW found that racist content against Black people has surged in recent years because it attracts traffic and generating profits. There are a few kinds of typical content perpetuating racial discrimination that are popular on the Chinese internet. These include denigrating interracial relationships, impersonating Black people, death threats and reinforcing stereotypes of Africans by portraying them as impoverished and presenting Chinese as wealthy saviors. o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾ # ⚓ The Register UK ☛ I_know_what_you_did_next_summer: Microsoft_to_kill_off_Xbox_360_Store⠀⇛ Gamers will still be able to access and play their already-bought games after that date. In an announcement, the software giant reassured folks it was “committed to supporting Xbox 360 gameplay for the foreseeable future — and you will still be able to play and re-download previously purchased content and connect with friends.” This means Microsoft isn’t shutting down its servers just yet. But while players won’t lose access to their games on the console, the same can’t be said of media purchased through the Xbox’s Movies and TV app. After the July deadline, that application will cease to function, and all such content purchased through the app will remain available only on supported consoles and PC. o § Monopolies⠀➾ # § Copyrights⠀➾ # ⚓ Creative Commons ☛ Understanding_CC_Licenses_and Generative_AI⠀⇛ You can use CC licenses to grant permission for reuse in any situation that requires permission under copyright. However, the licenses do not supersede existing limitations and exceptions; in other words, as a licensor, you cannot use the licenses to prohibit a use if it is otherwise permitted by limitations and exceptions to copyright. This is directly relevant to AI, given that the use of copyrighted works to train AI may be protected under existing exceptions and limitations to copyright. For instance, we believe there are strong arguments that, in most cases, using copyrighted works to train generative AI models would be fair use in the United States, and such training can be protected by the text and data mining exception in the EU. However, whether these limitations apply may depend on the particular use case. # ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Pirate_IPTV_Datacenter_Defendant_is_a Flight_Risk,_Remains_in_Custody⠀⇛ A 30-year-old Dutchman is suspected of being a key player in a multi-million euro pirate IPTV operation, which served over a million subscribers. The defendant asked to be released pending trial but is considered a flight risk, so the request was denied. Tapped conversations suggest that the man planned to restart the pirate IPTV business and flee to Morocco. * § Gemini* and Gopher⠀➾ o § Personal/Opinions⠀➾ # ⚓ Emotions_are_difficult⠀⇛ Part of the thing I’ve been having to learn how to do the past few months as my partner Tor has been so sick is actually, y’know, experience and show emotion. I’m normally the kind of person who stuffs everything down and quietly crashes into a wreck when everything is over, never particularly talking to anyone about it because I don’t Want To Be a Burden. =============================================================================== * Gemini_(Primer) links can be opened using Gemini_software.
