Summary: We have some promising plans for Techrights and some raves to share today; we’ve invested a lot in the site’s improvement lately
WE are fast approaching our 36,000th blog post (some time later this month), our Gemini capsule currenly shows up at the top of the list in Lupa’s statistics, and Geminispace is generally growing. “There are 3162 capsules,” it says. “We successfully connected recently to 2329 of them.”
Lately we’ve been having some trans-Atlantic connectivity issues (cause unknown, might be related to cyber-attacks or DDOS) and 2 days ago we completed one month with fibre-optics at home (where Gemini is hosted). Also 2 days ago my wife officially became a British citizen and we took these photos with the Lord Mayor of Manchester (~47 hours ago):

“Things move in positive direction in the sense that examiners are revolting against law-breaking managers.”
At Techrights, EPO is still a priority, as European software patents may be at great risk, along with the UPC (it would be challenged very fast at a high level; kangaroo courts don’t tend to stick around once the media gets involved and there’s public/political uproar). There’s coalition-building behind the scenes and we expect to have many guest post quite soon. Regarding Sirius ‘Open Source’ and several of its pension providers, we’re still studying the pension situation (it impacts a lot of people!). We’ve spent weeks on this and we’ve been improving the code associated with our curation of news, which means that Daily Links are a lot more extensive since my hard-drive (SSD rather) died at the end of January.

Later today we have a lot of stuff to show about EPO affairs. Things move in positive direction in the sense that examiners are revolting against law-breaking managers.
We’re not counting on the Web to thrive and grow. It’s shrinking and it will likely perish in a decade or two. One site that we link to regularly is shutting down — part of a trend likely accelerated by economic pressures in recent years. Today’s Web is lots of JS/’webapps’ with spying and disinformation/spam. It’s not what it was 10 or 20 years ago. █
