Free Software Users and App-Minded Gulag

Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0

http://techrights.org/videos/locking-down-gulag-disservices.webm

Summary: Gulag (or Google) does not care about the Internet; it just wants to

extend and control it, but it frames that as a matter of “security”

THE video above is about the company “Alphabet” (calling Gulag “Alphabet” is

like calling Facebook “Meta”, which is mostly a form of distraction from

distasteful activities, just like GitHub pretends not to be Microsoft).

Alphabet as a name came up and was advertised around the time many scandals had

piled up. We’re meant to be thinking YouTube, for example, has nothing to do

with Gulag (even though the login is the same!) and this thing called Alphabet

is looking over everything. Don’t fall for it!

“We hope that one day the Web will be less than 10% of all Internet traffic and

Gemini, which is bandwidth-conserving, will reach 1%.”“Less_secure_apps” is

what Gulag now calls traditional software, not so-called “apps” — a misnomer

that typically means proprietary software that spies heavily on the users. The

page speaks of “your [sic] Google Account”, which will change at the end of

May. Why the change? They pretend to value security, but given how they treat

users’ privacy and given the back doors (there’s some history there; see the

video) only a gullible reader would fall for it.

Thankfully, some alternatives are emerging and rising fast. Gemini, for

instance, needs only 2 more capsules (visible to Lupa) to reach 2,200. To

quote: “There are 2198 capsules. We successfully connected recently to 1777 of

them.”

We hope that one day the Web will be less than 10% of all Internet traffic and

Gemini, which is bandwidth-conserving, will reach 1%. If not Gemini, then

something similar to it, which scales fine on residential connections and can

thus be self-hosted from people’s homes.

A few days ago a longtime GMail used [sic] told us that “Google [is]

effectively pulling the plug on Thunderbird,” but Mozilla says nothing about

it. Thunderbird is how millions of people access GMail, so that’s a pretty big

deal and Mozilla ought to be concerned. I told this used [sic] that I “saw that

[news] and do not expect even the so-called ‘media’ to cover it or for Gulag

Noise (Google News) to pick up a story about it…” (for reasons explained in

this_previous_video)

“GMail is not E-mail but an attack on E-mail as a protocol and an attack on the

distributed/decentralised nature of E-mail.”With a little effort one can find

that about 7 years ago Madame Baker, not yet as CEO of Mozilla, wanted to kill

Thunderbird, wrongly arguing that people were moving to “GMail” anyway (yes,

she mentioned GMail specifically). At the time, she was already being paid a

lot by Gulag (mostly the deal with placements for the address bar and search

bar in Firefox). “Maybe she will move sideways over to Alphabet officially,”

the used [sic] said (he had already move away from GMail, albeit not

completely). “Like de Icaza has been…”

“An additional point is that aside from helping them complete the coup,” the

used [sic] concluded, “she may have little to no value.”

Mozilla has itself become a data collection company; being_subsidised_by_Gulag

and_run_by_former_Facebook_managers_won't_help. We expect the war on E-mail to

progress. GMail is not E-mail but an attack on E-mail as a protocol and an

attack on the distributed/decentralised nature of E-mail. Microsoft too

contributes towards this agenda and it's_in_Mozilla's_Board. █

Way Past Time to Investigate Bill Gates

Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0

http://techrights.org/videos/melinda-speaks-out.webm

Summary: While the_media got all busy rebranding_Mr.Gates_as“Mr._Coronavirus”

or_the_genius_trying_to_save_the_whole_planet the real story (a scandal) about

the Gates family had been buried; it merits not only media attention but also

government action

THE press reports make it very clear that Microsoft knew all along what Bill

Gates had done but chose to do nothing about it until the media found out,

making the Gates family too much of a risk or a liability. The media makes it

crystal clear that officials of the Gates_Foundation were also well aware. They

cannot_pretend_that_what’s_happening_is_shocking_news_to_them. Some people

study these matters quite_closely.

As we noted last night, Melinda_Gates_Has_Just_Confirmed_What_We_Knew_All_Along

About_Jeffrey_Epstein_and_Bill_Gates (it’s nice to be repeatedly vindicated),

but Melinda was there too with Jeffrey Epstein, albeit not every time, as noted

in past years [1, 2]. A Federal investigation into this is years overdue and

very much needed. The video above adds some more thoughts on this uncomfortable

subject. Gates_spokespeople kept lying. █

Miguel de Icaza is Gone, But Not the Damage He Caused

Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0

http://techrights.org/videos/miguel-de-parture-from-microsoft.webm

Summary: Microsoft lover Miguel_de_Icaza has left the Microsoft_family because

according to him the other (lesser) family is suddenly a priority, even in his

40s (he turns 50 this year)? It seems possible that he too — just like his

friend, Nat_Friedman — got pushed out

THE end of an era? Maybe. A Microsoft booster from ZDNet has helped the arse-

covering; we have good reasons to suspect that Miguel either got the boot or

got too depressed given recent developments. The video above explains what

happened and below we have a long list of articles for some background on

Miguel’s harm:

Miguel isn’t a happy puppy. See the screenshot below. And to quote George

Orwell, for anyone who doesn’t even know what_doxing_means (this is not

anything remotely like it): “Journalism is printing what someone else does not

want printed: everything else is public relations.” █

“In summer of 1997, he was interviewed by Microsoft for a job in the Internet

✐ Quitting_Social_Control_Media:_The_Day_After⠀✐

Quitting Social Control is Fun

Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0

http://techrights.org/videos/joindiaspora-now-closed.webm

Summary: The Social Control Media exodus (or diaspora) away from Facebook and/

or Twitter has become a_diaspora_of_JoinDiaspora because longtime JoinDiaspora

users are asked to move to another pod, losing all their connections in the

process; this is a symptom if not a hallmark of Social Control Media as a

concept (all your so-called ‘friends’ are transient, temporary, or a binary bit

in someone else’s database — a database that will be permanently buried in

JoinDiaspora’s case)

THE Web site (or pod) JoinDiaspora has been good to me. I habitually sent money

to the podadmin (Lukas) and JoinDiaspora was a generally friendly community — a

mixture of very technical people and lesser-technical people with interest in

technology. But all things come to an end and Lukas decided it’s time to move

on, perhaps (in part) due to technical_debt. It’s one of the downsides of

complex sites with databases; the complicated nature of them makes them harder

to maintain, unlike Gemini for instance. As an associate of ours noted this

atternoon, “technical debt can be a killer if it is allowed to build up, and it

takes effort and time to keep it at bay. It is important to trim when possible,

keep it simple, and refactor when possible and appropriate.”

“I can better focus on articles and concentrate on what truly matters.”Almost

24 hours have passed (at the time of writing; the video is being transcoded at

the moment) and I don’t miss JoinDiaspora. I don’t miss Social Control Media in

general. For the first time in 13 years I have little or no expectation of

receiving notifications from Twitter. That’s a positive. I can better focus on

articles and concentrate on what truly matters. Furnishing some private

company’s database is poor (mis)use of time. It’s not your database. It is not

even your data! As Salzberg of Diaspora (cofounder) put it: “When you give up

that data, you’re giving it up forever … The value they give us is negligible

in the scale of what they are doing, and what we are giving up is all of our

privacy.”

As Wikipedia notes: “The [Diaspora] founders started the project after being

motivated by a February 2010 speech of the Columbia University law professor

Eben Moglen. In his speech, delivered to the Internet Society’s New York

Chapter, “Freedom in the Cloud”, Moglen described centralized social networks

as “spying for free.””

Our hope is that readers and viewers will decide to similarly quit Social

Control Media; it’s a net negative, especially_nowadays (it’s not about

information anymore!). Techrights never bothered with Social Control Media;

this is about my personal account and the account inherited by Tux Machines. █

Noise Instead of News

Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0

http://techrights.org/videos/gulag-noise-demonstrated.webm

Summary: In an act of unwarranted spontaneity many people respect anything that

comes from Google (any service, software, site) just like that, primarily based

on the glorified brand, irrespective of actual assessment of the quality of the

“product”; in the case of Google News, many dangerous assumptions are made

because the company has become a filter against information and amplifier of

sheer noise/webspam

The most powerful Internet company (literally run by the people who made the

Internet; it employs_some_of_them!) is undoubtedly Google. It is a bad guardian

of information and a bad guardian of the open Web, which it is closing while

adding DRM on top (basically imposing proprietary software on Free software

users). It does many other bad things, but let’s leave that aside for future

videos.

Google is evil. It’s a Gulag. Look what_it_turned_YouTube_into. And it gets

even worse given the roots of this company, showing a lack of gratitude and no

reciprocity (Summer_of_Code_is_mostly_a_publicity_stunt, a self-serving PR

ploy, a corporate dodge/decoy).

“And it gets even worse given the roots of this company, showing a lack of

gratitude and no reciprocity (Summer of Code is mostly a publicity stunt, a

self-serving PR ploy).”Google (Gulag) came out of “Linux” (that’s very obvious

to those who look at prototypes and screenshots of the original google.com, the

search engine), but nowadays it exploits a lot of free labour (hence the name

“Gulag”) to make proprietary software which violates people’s privacy. We have

Android — by_far_the_most_widely_used_operating_system — built with Linux,

ChromeOS built based on/atop Gentoo, and Chrome itself being a mixture of many

Free software projects (while Chrome itself is proprietary spyware).

How does Gulag Noise (Google News) treat Linux and Free software? Not well at

all! It lists many Microsoft propaganda sites as “news” sites (aggregated in

the Gulag Noise) while excluding hundreds of decent and reliable GNU/Linux-

centric sites (which cover “Linux” news and stick to facts). The distortion of

news (or Gulag Noise) is shown above not in the context of patents — a subject

we shall cover tomorrow as usual — but also Free software.

“The problem is, Google News is a monopoly in that area (no other company has

the resources to crawl millions of sites so fast for news updates) and with

monopoly comes special responsibility.”“I wade through the crap written against

Free software on a daily basis,” an associate told us. “I’m not sure I have a

view more like a litany of complaints.”

As shown in the above video, a spontaneous (unplanned/unscripted/unedited) one

as usual, Google treats Linux badly (amplifying anti-Linux sites), it is a

terrible guardian of information (amplifying spam and misinformation), and the

Web as a whole is getting worse because of Google. Many useful features have

been removed (Google News used to be mostly news 10-15 years ago), RSS gets

treated like second-class or non-citizen, and it’s only getting worse over

time. Google News might have become noisy due to litigation (e.g. large-scale

lawsuits against Fair Use) and utter neglect. The problem is, Google News is a

monopoly in that area (no other company has the resources to crawl millions of

sites so fast for news updates) and with monopoly comes special responsibility.

Many competing search sites merely ‘borrow’ results from the monopoly, so the

misinformation propagates far and wide. █

              Servers⠀⇛

                   An application server is computer software which

                   provides the business logic for an application

                   program. It offers services such as management of

                   large distributed systems, data services, load

                   balancing, transaction support, and network

                   security. The application server is one part of a

                   three-tier application, consisting of a graphical

                   interface server, an application (business logic)

                   server, and a database / transaction server.

                   There are good reasons to deploy an application

                   server in a corporate environment. At a high level,

                   an application server enables updates and upgrades

                   to applications to be distributed to all users.

                   System administrators also benefit from the fact

                   that changes to application configuration can take

                   place centrally, which greatly simplifies technical

                   support and ultimately the end user experience.

                   Application servers also simplify user management,

                   avoiding the need to set up and maintain user-

                   management systems for applications. This type of

                   software also enhances scalability and resource

                   usage, and exposes business components via

                   different deployment wrappers.

              LTS_–_idroot⠀⇛

                   In this tutorial, we will show you how to install

                   LibreWolf Browser on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. For those of

                   you who didn’t know, LibreWolf is an independent

                   “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of

                   privacy, security, and user freedom. LibreWolf is

                   designed to increase protection against tracking

                   and fingerprinting techniques, while also including

                   a few security improvements. This is achieved

                   through our privacy and security-oriented settings

                   and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the

                   telemetry, data collection, and annoyances, as well

                   as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM.

                   This article assumes you have at least basic

                   knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and

                   most importantly, you host your site on your own

                   VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes

                   you are running in the root account, if not you may

                   need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root

                   privileges. I will show you the step-by-step

                   installation of the LibreWolf Browser on Ubuntu

                   20.04 (Focal Fossa). You can follow the same

                   instructions for Ubuntu 18.04, 16.04, and any other

                   Debian-based distribution like Linux Mint.

            # ⚓ How_to_open_PDF_Programmatically_using_Intent_in_Android_–

              TREND_OCEANS⠀⇛

                   Yesterday I received an email from one of our

                   readers and he asked me to fix his issue where he

                   was not able to open PDF from the storage when the

                   user clicked on the button. And his application was

                   running flawlessly on an older version of Android.

                   After Android 11, his application was not working

                   as per his plan.

            # ⚓ The New Stack ☛ How_to_Run_Docker_in_Rootless_Mode_–_The

              New_Stack⠀⇛

                   Although it’s possible to deploy Docker containers

                   without root privileges, that doesn’t necessarily

                   mean it’s rootless throughout. That’s is because

                   there are other components within the stack (such

                   as runc, containerd, and dockerd) that do require

                   root privileges to run. That can equate to a

                   security issue by way of heightened privilege

                   attacks.

                   Sure, you can add your user to the docker group and

                   run the docker deploy command without the help of

                   sudo, but that really doesn’t solve the problem.

                   There are other ways to run docker that seem like a

                   good idea but, in the end, they’re just as

                   dangerous as running docker with sudo privileges.

                   So, what do you do? You can always go rootless.

            # ⚓ BASH_03_–_Command-line_Processing_|_Linux.org⠀⇛

                   It is important to understand how the command-line

                   processing occurs. The procedure of examining the

                   command issued is not as straight-forward as you

                   might think.

                   Going over a command to see how processing is

                   achieved can show you how the command can fail. It

                   can help you determine why it failed and how to fix

                   it, so it works.

            # ⚓ How_to_Install_Ionic_Framework_on_Ubuntu_20.04?⠀⇛

                   Developers need tools to help them create

                   applications in the best possible way. That is why

                   there are different frameworks. Although we have

                   recently discussed CakePHP, today we will bring up

                   a very peculiar one because it is focused on

                   mobile. In this post, you will learn how to install

                   Ionic framework in Ubuntu 20.04.

            # ⚓ How_to_Install_LXQt_Desktop_on_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS⠀⇛

                   LXQt is a free desktop environment known for being

                   lightweight, fast, and energy-efficient, which can

                   replace the standard default GNOME Desktop on your

                   Ubuntu system, which can be desired for users with

                   low-powered computers and laptops, and netbooks.

                   LXQt has had a colorful history of merging and then

                   splitting with the LXDE project in 2013 and 2018.

                   However, both projects are of a high standard in

                   sharing similar approaches regarding being more

                   efficient than the major players such as GNOME and

                   KDE.

                   In the following tutorial, you will learn how to

                   install LXQt on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish.

            # ⚓ How_to_Install_Xfce_Desktop_Ubuntu_22.04_LTS⠀⇛

                   Xfce is a lightweight free, open-source desktop

                   environment for UNIX-like operating systems. It is

                   designed to be fast and light on system resources

                   while more visually appealing than the default

                   desktop environments that ship with most operating

                   systems. Xfce is very popular with older systems

                   with hardware as a key feature in its design is to

                   conserve both memory and CPU cycles.

                   In the following tutorial, you will learn how to

                   install Xfce on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Jammy Jellyfish

                   using the command line terminal for users that seek

                   an alternative desktop environment to run that is

                   lightweight, clean, and simple.

                   I am not a Windows user, but the one feature I

                   truly appreciate and probably take with me across

                   other platform is a Windows-like start menu. I have

                   enabled Windows-style start menu on both Ubuntu and

                   Linux Mint installations. The start menu is

                   probably the most convenient way to search and find

                   apps on a Computer.

                   Chrome OS had another take on the App launcher.

                   Before Chrome OS 94, the app launcher user

                   interface occupies half the screen when launched

                   with the Everything button and full screen with you

                   click on the caret icon to reveal more apps.

                   However, now you can enable the new experimental

                   Windows-style App launcher which only covers half

                   the screen vertically on the left.

                   VPN is the best option.

                   When you use a third-party VPN, your data is routed

                   through their servers, meaning that we have no

                         I tested the Leap 15.4 Beta GNOME Desktop

                         today on a Lenovo ThinkPad X250. The

                         and I documented every step of the

                         installation in a Twitter thread.

                         One thing that I noticed was new in the

                         installer is the icon to change the color

                         theme during installation. This was not

                         On the top-right corner of the installer

                         select a different theme for the installer.

                         15.4 Beta is based on the Jump concept that

                         most-desired effects: translucent app windows

                         with frosted blur effect, similar to the sort

                         found on macOS and Windows 11.

                         That method uses a project called Mutter

                         Rounded, which provides a command line script

                         that recompiles Mutter (a core system

                         component) to ‘patch’ in a set of third-party

                         code to add the blur support natively.

                         running —I did it 😅— it is a lot more

                         looking for a stable Linux distro that can

                         justify their specific requirements. When

                         choosing an operating systems things vary

                         from situation to situation. Here we will

                         consider different aspects while having a

                         look, whether OpenSUSE is good for us one

                         will do better in some specific cases. For

                         example, let’s consider an example of sharing

                         printer resources, which might be working

                         smoothly with OpenSUSE but may face issues

                         for driver support with another. But, there

                         are possibilities that remote access will

                         work better with one and may give hiccups

                         while working with OpenSUSE.

                         upon my personal work experience, things may

                         be different for the audience while working

                         with both of the platforms.

                         for changes in NEW processing or even

                         removing NEW.

                         One argument in discussions about NEW is that

                         the copyright verification of packages can be

                         done by the community after accepting the

                         packages in the archive.

                         Last month I did not get any hint that such

                         checks have been done by anybody. As the past

                         already showed several times, this community

                         based checks simply do not exist.

                         So in the end poorly maintained copyright

                         information will rot in the archive and I am

                         not sure that this really corresponds with

                         the Debian Social Contract.

                               Last year, impressed with the apparent

                               speed of an M1 Mac Mini I bought to try

                               out, I explored its perl performance

                               and wrote about it in a blog post. I

                               used mainly my own benchmarks which

                               were mostly representative of workloads

                               I was interested in.

                               Recently, I did an evaluation of our

                               Google Cloud setup at work and, after

                               some tests, I noticed that instance

                               types affected performance

                               significantly and sometimes in a way

                               quite different from what you’d expect

                               based on their price. I packaged my

                               benchmarks in a single suite and over

                               the holidays I run them against various

                               GCP types to see where the best

                               performance and/or value is. After

                               that, I got curious and expanded to

                               include more cloud providers and

                               decided to try and make as best a

                               comparison as I could and write it up,

                               both for my own future reference, and

                               for anyone looking for the best

                               performance or value for various

                               workloads. As a bonus, I threw in

                               Geekbench 5 for a non-perl perspective

                               and the laptops I had at home as a

                               comparison basis.

                               Note that this became quite a long

                               comparison as I found out various

                               things, became curious and had to do

                               more testing etc.

                   “In the United States, demographers predict that as

                   many as half of today’s 5-year-olds can expect to

                   live to the age of 100,” said The New Map of Life,

                   a recent report from the Stanford Center on

                   Longevity. The cross-disciplinary Stanford Center

                   was founded in 2007 to conduct research on the key

                   issues associated with increased longevity, – from

                   cognitive health to physical well-being and

                   financial security, – with the aim to make long

                   lives healthy and rewarding.

                   While the 100-year life may be here, we’re not

                   ready. “By the middle of this century, this once

                   unattainable milestone may become the norm for

                   newborns, continuing a remarkable trend that saw

                   human life expectancies double between 1900 and

                   2000, and still rising in this century, despite the

                   grievous toll of the Covid-19 pandemic,” notes the

                   report. “Longevity is one of the greatest

                   achievements in human history, brought about by

                   reductions in infant mortality, advances in

                   sanitation and medicine, public education, and

                   rising standards of living. Yet the change came

                   about so quickly that the social institutions,

                   economic policies, and social norms that evolved

                   when people lived for half as long are no longer up

                   to the task.”

                   According to the Stanford Center, there’s a clear

                   distinction between aging and longevity. Aging is

                   the biological process of getting older – the

                   accumulation of changes in a human being over time.

                   Longevity is “the measure of long life,” – the ways

                   to enhance the quality of a long life “so that

                   people experience a sense of belonging, purpose,

                   and worth at all ages and stages.”

                   Star Labs is a UK-based company focused on

                   delivering a premium Linux laptop experience. Star

                   Labs was started in 2016 with the notion that no

                   organizations were trying to create the “experience

                   that macOS and Windows users had” for Linux users

                   was a problem that had to be solved. Star Labs

                   StarBook Mk V is one of their latest attempts to

                   solve that problem.

                   Starting out leveraging Clevo prebuilt systems, as

                   most Linux targeting laptop vendors do, they

                   realized after only a few iterations that the

                   products were lacking compared to competing laptop

                   vendors. Given that Linux can run on virtually

                   anything, any laptop manufacturers were essentially

                   direct competitors.

                   As is often the case for disruptive new consumer

                   devices, there are several ways to categorize

                   Valve’s Steam Deck. A gaming PC in a handheld form

                   factor? Yes! An expensive but rugged Steam

                   controller for gaming on an external display? Sure,

                   that works. A Switch-like portable console?

                   Absolutely! An impossibly affordable computer you

                   can use as your everyday laptop or desktop PC?

                   Well, that functionality is baked right in thanks

                   to the Deck’s “Desktop Mode.” But the $399 question

                   is this: is it just a novelty feature for edge

                   cases, or is the Steam Deck truly viable as your

                   daily driver PC for work, play, and everything in

                   The folks behind RPCS3 have published a new release

                   tag for the popular PS3 Emulator. There is no

                   official changelog for this “release”, but since

                   these tags are usually 3 months apart, you can

                   expect significant changes since 0.0.20.

                   It’s worth noting that RPCS3 actually gets a build

                   for pretty much every commit, so these release tags

                   are a bit “artificial” and it’s likely most users

                   are already up to date, but a new release tag is a

                   good opportunity to talk about RPCS3

                         Of the challenges humanity faces in its

                         struggle to power modern-day civilization,

                         energy conservation is one of the more

                         difficult to achieve. But it is also the most

                         worthy of pursuing, as ultimately many of the

                         current sources of energy we depend on are

                         finite.

                         That is why reducing the amount of energy we

                         consume is a priority for KDE Eco. All KDE

                         projects are Free Software, and Free Software

                         entails transparency and user autonomy. The

                         first has always provided users the

                         opportunity to inspect and learn from how

                         software runs; today, this transparency has

                         been extended to include software’s energy

                         consumption when in use. The second allows

                         Free Software users to install what they need

                         on the devices they want, bypassing

                         unnecessary and battery-draining spyware and

                         bloatware while extending the lifespan of

                         their hardware. Both combined give KDE Eco

                         and Free Software developers the means to

                         develop energy-saving improvements for

                         applications and frameworks, to continue

                         support for otherwise unsupported devices,

                   system originally developed by Sun Microsystems.

                   However, the move entails another fundamental

                   change in Solaris: Oracle says it’s saying goodbye

                   to small and large releases, and future users will

                   receive updates via Support Repository Updates

                   (SRUs) and so-called small releases. The CBE

                         be bigger than expected,” says Upton. “We had

                         this idea of doing 1,000 or 10,000 or

                         something… we had a couple of thousand units

                         on order with our first contract manufacturer

                         “Around Christmas time, when we got the first

                         beta boards back, we put an operating system

                         [based on Debian] online… and it had 50,000

                         downloads. And all you could do was run it in

                         QEMU (there was a QEMU config you could build

                         that was similar enough to a Raspberry Pi).

                         “50,000 people downloaded this really

                         primitive operating system for a machine that

                         you couldn’t buy!” he exclaims.

                         And that was when realisation dawned that

                         demand for the hardware would be far higher

                         than a run of 1,000, 10,000 or even 100,000

                         units.

                         Upton tells us that approximately 46 million

                         units have been manufactured to date.

                         Although getting hold of one in 2022 is a bit

                   Forty years ago Bell Labs was a center of

                   technology innovation. Researchers from Bell are

                   credited with developing technologies like the

                   transistor, the laser, the photovoltaic cell, and

                   radio astronomy. In the area of software, Bell

                   researchers created Unix and languages like C and

                   C++. It has been roughly fifty years since Unix was

                   first conceived and developed at Bell Labs for DEC

                               I’ve recently explored some of the

                               differences between Java and Groovy

                               when creating and initializing lists

                               and building lists at runtime. I

                               observed the simple facilities provided

                               by Groovy for these purposes in

                               comparison to the complexity required

                               in Java.

                               In this article, I examine creating and

                               initializing maps in Java and Groovy.

                               Maps provide the ability to develop

                               structures you can search by key. And

                               if the key gets found, that returns the

                               value associated with that key. Today,

                               maps are implemented in many

                               programming languages, including Java

                               and Groovy, but also Python (where they

                               are called dictionaries), Perl, awk,

                               and many others. Another term commonly

                               used to describe maps is associative

                               arrays, which you can read about in

                               this Wikipedia article. Java and Groovy

                               maps are nicely general, permitting

                               keys and values to be any classes that

                               extend the Object class.

                         its notoriously FOSS-averse past.

                         De Icaza has long been a pivotal figure in

                         with Federico Mena. A couple of years later,

                         he started Helix Code with Nat Friedman.

                         Subsequently renamed Ximian, the company

                         developed the GNOME email client Evolution

                         will deliver a cut in overall energy

                         consumption, or whether consumption may in

                         fact rise.

                         While 5G is sold as a technology that has the

                         potential to greatly improve the energy

                         efficiency of mobile networks, a new paper

                         from researchers at CREDS says the evidence

                         behind these oft-cited claims is somewhat

                         lacking and does not take everything into

                         account.

                         In fact, CREDS told The Register the energy

                         consumption of mobile networks in the 5G era

                         remains uncertain because publicly available

                         evidence lacks peer-reviewed assessments, and

                         there isn’t much disclosure of key

                         assumptions that would enable scrutiny and

                         comparison of claims regarding power usage.

                   Fedorov made his request because Russia’s assault

                   has been “made possible mainly due to Russia

                   propaganda machinery using websites continuously

                   money into a number of projects including co-

                   location and data centre facilities (Redbus

                   Interhouse) and an early online film service

                   (Redbus Films), and was a well-known chess

                   enthusiast and supporter of the sport. He was also

                   involved in the London Internet Exchange, and the

                   Internet Watch Foundation. However, it is as the

                   founder of Demon Internet that he found fame and

                   fortune, as the many Britons who once had an email

                   address which ended in “demon.co.uk” will attest.

                   He was always an entrepreneur. As a child he had a

                   paper round in his native Southend. In a bid to

                   increase sales one of the papers offered a

                   promotion to the kids delivering papers: whoever

                   got the most subscriptions would win a bicycle.

                   Cliff worked out that the cost of taking out a few

                   Oracle has created an additional version of the

                   Solaris operating system it acquired in 2009, when

                   it bought Sun Microsystems.

                   The new cut of the OS is called a Common Build

                   Environment (CBE). As explained by Oracle senior

                   software engineer Darren Moffat this week, a CBE is

                   akin to a beta because it includes prerelease

                   builds of a forthcoming Solaris release.

                   Those releases are called Support Repository

                   Updates (SRUs) and now arrive each month. Any

                   security fixes delivered in Oracle’s quarterly

                   Critical Patch Updates (CPUs) are delivered in

                   SRUs.

                   All SRUs apply to Solaris 11.4 – the current and

                   probably last version of the OS.

                   Oracle’s license for Solaris already permits free

                   use for test and development, or personal use.

                   Motrix comes with a lot of useful features, and

                   Just over a month ago, we got our first glimpse of

                   Maui Shell. Developed by the team at Nitrux Linux,

                   I was quite impressed with its smooth visuals, and

                   especially its convergence features.

                   At the same time, I concluded my year of daily

                   driving the PinePhone, which meant that it was free

                   to experiment on again. As a result, I soon found

                   myself installing Maui Shell, which I spent quite a

                   few hours testing.

                   Here’s what I found!

                   There’s a lot going for KeyNote, it’s a simple,

                   elegant tool for creating high quality

                   presentations. But it’s proprietary software that’s

                   not available for Linux. What are the best free and

                   I use ZFS on Linux on my office and home Fedora

                   desktops. It’s installed with RPM packages using

                   the ‘zfs-dkms’ option, where the ZoL RPMs install a

                   DKMS module that DKMS then builds for whatever

                   kernels. The advantage of the DKMS approach is that

                   I don’t need to somehow pre-build new kernel module

                   RPMs before I upgrade my kernel; instead DKMS

                   rebuilds things automatically. Recently I went to

                   install a Fedora kernel upgrade to 5.16.11 and as

                   part of the upgrade DNF said it was going to remove

                   the ‘zfs’ and ‘zfs-dkms’ RPMs as incompatible. Of

                   course I said no to that, and when I looked at the

                   ‘META’ source file that controls kernel version

                   compatibility (among other things) I saw that ZoL

                   currently only supports up to 5.15.

                   expressions provided by Nftables for matching

                   IPsec-related network packets. The common situation

                   is that you need to distinguish packets from normal

                   traffic, which either have been received through a

                   VPN tunnel and already have been decrypted or

                   packets which are to be sent out on a VPN tunnel,

                   but have not been encrypted yet. Those kind of

                   packets can be matched by these expressions within

                   packet filtering rules. I’ll explain how these

                   expressions work, what they use as back-end, what

                   their limitations are and how you can use them to

                   get your intended behavior. Further, I take a short

                   glimpse at the Iptables equivalent of these

                   expressions.

                   In this tutorial, we will show you how to install

                   PowerShell on Manjaro 21. For those of you who

                   didn’t know, PowerShell is a cross-platform task

                   automation solution made up of a command-line

                   shell, a scripting language, and a configuration

                   management framework. PowerShell runs on Windows,

                   Linux, and macOS.

                   This article assumes you have at least basic

                   knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and

                   most importantly, you host your site on your own

                   VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes

                   you are running in the root account, if not you may

                   need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root

                   privileges. I will show you through the step-by-

                   step installation of the Microsoft PowerShell on a

                   Manjaro 21 (Ornara).

                   succeeded in attracting no competing products. It

                   seems that assessment might be premature, because

                   application for “A computer in an input device”

                   that looks very much like the Pi 400. In fact we’d

                   go further than that, it looks very much like any

                   of a number of classic home computers from back in

             The answer is no, we can’t. Not, that is, until we free

             ourselves individually from the inner compulsion to

             replicate the old order that, although we can criticize

             it, even rebel against it,  will never allow us to defend

             the more inclusive, in-common good.  The in-common good,

             nice as it sounds, is death to our “first world,”

             centralized, technology-dependent, anti-social way of

             life. Although the “first world” crisis is for-real –

             i.e., either our needs change (i.e., our way of life) or

             we lose the  future –  our  reality, a media-fed bubble,

             effectively prevents awareness of real crisis, at the

             same time keeping us fixated on  “the spectacle.”  The

             only way this death trance can be broken is voluntarily,

             by following the path of individual delight, desire,

             “bliss,”  which is the path of art-making, of “being your

             own work of art” as if this were one’s duty which,

             metaphysically speaking, it is!

             For this reason, like kindness, dignity, justice, and

             communality, art-making is not optional for social human

             beings.  Though prized for its expression of

                   About a month ago, I wrote about how COVID-19

                   minimizers, deniers, cranks, antivaxxers, and

                   grifters had been ramping up their demands for

                   “debates” about COVID-19. Of course, I’ve long been

                   pointing out how a favorite tactic of such cranks

                   is to challenge a scientist or science advocate to

                   a “live public debate” about the topic in question,

                   whether it be the claim that vaccines cause autism

                   (they don’t), whether HIV causes AIDS (it

                   does), regarding “integrative medicine” or

                   “complementary and alternative medicine” (CAM), or

                   antivaxxers trying to trap me. Longtime readers

                   know why quacks, cranks, pseudoscience-promoters,

                   and conspiracy theorists almost always have a near-

                   insurmountable advantage in these debates—”Gish

                   gallop” anyone? —but, as I explain every time,

                   there are other reasons why science deniers

                   gravitate towards this particular tactic. Sometimes

                   the motivations are dishonest, but more often they

                   are not, being based instead on the false idea that

                   such “debates” are a fair and democratic method to

                   settle a question, whether there is a real

                   scientific debate or not. (Almost always, there is

                         portable console from Valve, we noted that

                         continued updates to the company’s Proton

                         compatibility layer would help many games

                         Linux-based SteamOS. For a handful of popular

                         online multiplayer games, though, inherent

                         limitations to anti-cheat support on Linux

                         may prevent compatibility with SteamOS (and

                         The geopolitics surrounding the invasion of

                         Ukraine are outside the scope of this column,

                         but the cybersecurity ramifications are

                         certainly fitting fodder. The challenge here

                         is that almost everything of note that has

                         happened in the last week has been initially

                         linked to the conflict, but in several cases,

                         the reported link hasn’t withstood scrutiny.

                         We do know that the Vice Prime Minister of

                         Ukraine put out a call on Twitter for “cyber

                         specialists” to go after a list of Russian

                         businesses and state agencies. Many of the

                         sites on the list did go down for some time,

                         the digital equivalent of tearing down a

                         poster. In response, the largest Russian ISP

                         stopped announcing BGP routes to some of the

                         targeted sites, effectively ending any

                         attacks against them from the outside.

                   privilege” stems from a 1953 case known as United

                   States v. Reynolds, where the government

                   essentially lied and claimed if relatives of

                   victims of a military plane crash were informed of

                   how their loved ones died it would compromise

                   “secrets.” U.S. Air Force documents declassified

                   decades later showed accident reports and witness

                   statements contained no secrets, and victims’

                   families were wrongly deprived of their day in

                   court. Yet more than a half century after the

                   Reynolds case, the U.S. Supreme Court continues to

                   expand the state secrets privilege and help U.S.

                   military and national security agencies conceal

                   their crimes and abuses of power. On March 4, the

                   Supreme Court unanimously ruled [PDF] the FBI may

                   invoke the state secrets privilege to prevent the

                   disclosure of information on the illegal

                   surveillance of Muslims. The Supreme Court ruled

                   the day before that the CIA may invoke the state

                   secrets privilege and conceal information related

                   to the torture of Abu Zubaydah, even though key

                   details are already in the public domain. Justice

                   Stephen Breyer, who is retiring from the Supreme

                   Court, authored the 7-2 opinion [PDF]. “We conclude

                   that in this case the state secrets privilege

                   applies to the existence (or nonexistence) of a CIA

                   facility in Poland,” Breyer declared. “We agree

                   with the government that sometimes information that

                   has entered the public domain may nonetheless fall

                   within the scope of the state secrets

                   privilege.”Breyer contended the CIA provided a

                   “reasonable explanation” of why James Mitchell and

                   Bruce Jessen, two architects of the CIA torture

                   program, should not be permitted to confirm or deny

                   the information Zubaydah seeks because it could

                   “significantly harm national security interests,

                   even if that information has already been made

                   public through unofficial sources.”

                   Zubaydah remains in indefinite detention at the

                   Guantanamo Bay military prison. He was the first

                   detainee subjected to what the CIA described as

                   “enhanced interrogation techniques.” The Supreme

                   Court recognized that he was tortured. Despite the

                   Senate intelligence committee report on CIA

                   torture, testimony from Mitchell and Jessen,

                   Mitchell’s memoir, and findings from the European

                   Court of Human Rights, Breyer maintained, “The CIA

                   itself has never confirmed that one or more of its

                   clandestine detention sites was located in any

                   specific foreign country.”“Neither, as far as we

                   can tell from the record, have the contractors

                   Mitchell and Jessen named the specific foreign

                   countries in which CIA detention sites were

                   located.” “Although at least one former Polish

                   government official has stated that Poland

                   cooperated with the CIA, to our knowledge, the

                   Polish government itself has never confirmed such

                   allegations,” Breyer added.

                   A February 25 op-ed in The Los Angeles Times by

                   Jeff Rogg, “The CIA has backed Ukrainian insurgents

                   before- Let’s learn from those mistakes,” cites a

                   CIA program to train Ukrainian nationalists as

                   insurgents to fight the Russians that began in 2015

                   and compares it with a similar effort by Truman’s

                   CIA in Ukraine that began in 1949. By 1950, one

                   year in, “U.S. officers involved in the program

                   knew they were fighting a losing battle…In the

                   first U.S.-backed insurgency, according to top

                   secret documents later declassified, American

                   officials intended to use the Ukrainians as a proxy

                   force to bleed the Soviet Union.” This op-ed cites

                   John Ranelagh, a historian of the CIA, who argued

                   that the program “demonstrated a cold ruthlessness”

                   because the Ukrainian resistance had no hope of

                   success, and so “America was in effect encouraging

                   Ukrainians to go to their deaths.”

                   The “Truman Doctrine” of arming and training

                   insurgents as proxy forces to bleed Russia to the

                   peril of the local populations that it was

                   purporting to defend was used effectively in

                   Afghanistan in the 1970s and ‘80s, a program so

                   effective, some of its authors have boasted, that

                   it helped bring down the Soviet Union a decade

                   later. In a 1998 interview, President Jimmy

                   Brzezinski explained, “According to the official

                   version of history, CIA aid to the Mujaheddin began

                   during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army

                   invaded Afghanistan on December 24, 1979. But the

                   reality, closely guarded until now, is completely

                   otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that

                   President Carter signed the first directive for

                   secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet

                   regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note

                   to the president in which I explained to him that

                   in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet

                   military intervention… We didn’t push the Russians

                   to intervene, but we knowingly increased the

                   probability that they would.”

                   Ironically, Daniel Ellsberg, who famously leaked

                   the Pentagon Papers to stop the Vietnam War,

                   introduced the theory in his lectures in 1959 to

                   Henry Kissinger’s Harvard seminar on the conscious

                   political use of irrational military threats.

                   Ellsberg, who started out as a Cold Warrior, called

                   the theory the “political uses of madness,” arguing

                   that any extreme threat would be more credible if

                   the person making the threat were perceived as not

                   being fully rational.  Ellsberg never imagined that

                   an American president would ever consider such a

                   strategy, but he believed that irrational behavior

                   could be a useful negotiating tool.

                   Ten years later, Kissinger, who became Nixon’s

                   national security adviser, stated that he “learned

                   more from Ellsberg than any other person about

                   bargaining.”  In “Nuclear Weapons and Foreign

                   Policy,” he advocated a “strategy of ambiguity” in

                   discussing the use of tactical nuclear weapons, and

                   presumably believed that the “madman theory”

                   related to his belief that power wasn’t power

                   unless one was willing to use.  During the October

                   War in 1973, Kissinger chaired a meeting of the

                   National Security Council that raised the alert

                   status of U.S. nuclear forces in order to signal

                   the Soviets that they should not intervene

                   unilaterally in Egypt to stop Israeli violations of

                   the cease fire.

                   In October 1969, I attended my first protest

                   against war. I was a fourteen year old high school

                   freshman attending a small Catholic school in the

                   DC suburbs. Some of the nuns who taught at the

                   school had organized a teach-in together with some

                   juniors and seniors at the school. After some

                   speeches for and against the war followed by

                   discussion, some of us followed the antiwar nuns

                   and upper classmen and women to a corner a couple

                   blocks from the school. We joined a small vigil for

                   peace there. The other attendees included college

                   students and some townspeople. We held signs,

                   flashed peace signs, and listened to the names of

                   the US war dead being read. The reaction from the

                   cars driving by was mostly apathetic. Some people

                   called us commies and gave us the finger and some

                   flashed peace signs, but most tried not to look.

                   The protest was part of the first National

                   Moratorium Day that year.

                   My protesting against the US war on the Vietnamese

                   continued all the way up to the day Saigon became

                   Ho Chi Minh City in May 1975. This included

                   numerous protests in Frankfurt am Main, Germany

                   called by antiwar students and groups there and a

                   couple smaller protests in Manhattan when I lived

                   there for a few months. The latter were smaller

                   because Nixon had removed almost all of the US

                   combat troops from the country and Kissinger had

                   signed a peace agreement. History tells us the war

                   continued for two more years with major US funding

                   and bombardment. As the years went on since my

                   first protest my politics became more radical. I

                   gained an understanding of imperialism and applied

                   that understanding to what I saw in the world. When

                   the Vietnamese finally won in Vietnam, I took a

                   breather.

                   Russia for its invasion of Ukraine and demanding

                   that it withdraw its armed forces.

                   Would that the General Assembly had a mandate to

                   govern, sadly it doesn’t, which means it’s even

                   Telegram has gained a reputation as the “secure”

                   communications app in the post-Soviet states, but

                   whenever you make choices about your digital

                   security, it’s important to start by asking

                   yourself, “What exactly am I securing? And who am I

                   securing it from?” These questions should inform

                   your decisions about whether you are using the

                   right tool or platform for your digital security

                   needs. Telegram is certainly not the most secure

                   messaging app on the market right now. Its security

                   model requires users to place a great deal of trust

                   in Telegram’s ability to protect user data. For

                   some users, this may be good enough for now. For

                   others, it may be wiser to move to a different

                   platform for certain kinds of high-risk

                   communications.

                   Right now the digital security needs of Russians

                   and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to

                   very different caveats about how to mitigate the

                   risks associated with using Telegram. For

                   Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at

                   risk because they are in a war zone, digital

                   security is probably not their highest priority.

                   They may value access to news and communication

                   with their loved ones over making sure that all of

                   their communications are encrypted in such a manner

                   that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its

                   employees, or governments with court orders.

                   Channels are not encrypted. All communications on a

                   Telegram channel can be seen by anyone on the

                   channel and are also visible to Telegram. Telegram

                   may be asked by a government to hand over the

                   communications from a channel. Telegram has a

                   history of standing up to Russian government

                   requests for data, but how comfortable you are

                   relying on that history to predict future behavior

                   is up to you. Because Telegram has this data, it

                   may also be stolen by hackers or leaked by an

                   internal employee.

                   same cultural footing as literature, movies,

                   television, and music. Which is ultimately quite

                   silly. Video games represent creative and cultural

                   output and the number of people playing them, and

                   the amount of time those people devote to them, has

                   is winning the war, we ought to help Russia; and if

                   that Russia is winning, we ought to help Germany,

                   and in that way let them kill as many as possible.”

                   Truman was not called out as a cynic when he spoke

                   these words from the floor of the Senate. On the

                   contrary, when he died in 1972, Truman’s obituary

                   in The New York Times cited this statement as

                   establishing his “reputation for decisiveness and

                   courage.” “This basic attitude,” gushed The Times,

                   “prepared him to adopt from the start of his

                   Presidency, a firm policy,” an attitude that

                   prepared him to order the atomic bombings of

                   Hiroshima and Nagasaki with “no qualms.” Truman’s

                   same basic “let them kill as many as possible”

                   attitude also informed the postwar doctrine that

                   bears his name, along with the establishment of

                   NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and

                   the CIA, the Central Intelligence Agency, both of

                   which he is credited with founding.

                   being implemented – severe economic sanctions and

                   military aid to Ukraine – are designed to prolong

                   the military struggle and to cripple the Russian

                   economy, apparently on the theory that Russia’s

                   discontented masses and oligarchs will then replace

                   Putin with a leader more to the West’s liking.

                    Pardon me, but this makes little sense.

                    Prolonging the conflict will kill more Ukrainians

                   and Russians, inspire their compatriots and loved

                   ones to seek revenge.  It may also bring the world

                   close to nuclear war.  Moreover, making a whole

                   people suffer usually unites them against their

                   adversary rather than turning them against their

                   leader.

                   The array of punishments administered and proposed

                   also indicate that many Westerners consider Putin

                   analogous to Adolf Hitler and a return to the

                   It did, but in a way that far exceeded my

                   that, I warned, would make it easier to create a

                   political narrative detrimental to Russia.

                   Unlikely, I thought, that Russia would engage in a

                   How did this war with Ukraine even become a

                   possibility? According to Meduza’s Ideas editor,

                   Maxim Trudolyubov, the answer to this question can

                   be found in the political alternate “reality”

                   developed in Russia in recent years on the basis of

                   lies, manipulation, and the production of fakes.

                   This “reality” had seemed so crudely constructed

                   that it was impossible to imagine anyone in charge

                   (especially those who created it) to believe it

                   seriously. As it turns out, however, somebody does

                   believe it. His name is Vladimir Putin.

                   four decades of his career, the sprawling

                   exhibition was a testament to the sheer magnitude

                   of Chin’s curiosity. As an artist, he is tough to

                   Chin: All Over the Place,” which tapped into the

                   projects that explored water rights, New York’s

                   may have a “malleable and wide-ranging approach to

                   particular “place” is something that informs much

                   of his work; he responds to unique histories and

                   characteristics.

                   In the work “Flint Fit,” for example, Chin worked

                   with residents of Flint, Michigan, and Detroit/New

                   York City-based fashion designer Tracy Reese to

                   pilot an innovative economic system that

                   lockout occurring in Major League Baseball. We’ve

                   talked a bit in the past about some of the bullshit

                   MLB is pulling with all of this, namely its

                   decision to strip out all references to current

                   players from its website. But in those discussions

                   we never really got into what this lockout is or

                   why it’s occurring. Let me give you a quick primer.

                   There is war, disease, and the prospect of a

                   nuclear winter, and yet President Joe Biden still

                   wasted an opportunity to raise his voice against

                   the Major League Baseball lockout during Tuesday’s

                   State of the Union address. Baseball ranks low on

                   the list of the anxieties that have colonized our

                   minds of late, but the situation cries out for some

                   kind of intervention, because this sporting tragedy

                   reflects so much about the grotesque inequalities

                   that define this country. Baseball is “the national

                   pastime,” and that pastime is being held hostage by

                   30 billionaires and their hand puppet Commissioner

                   Rob Manfred. This is not the wrangling of

                   “billionaires vs. millionaires,” a bosses’

                   narrative that much of the mainstream media has

                   dutifully parroted, but a lockout—not a strike, a

                   lockout: The wealthiest parasites in the sport have

                   unilaterally shut down the game. This is so

                   obviously a “bosses’ strike” that it has baseball

                   insiders sounding like Che Guevara. ESPN’s Jeff

                   Passan wrote, “If you went and got the next 1,200

                   best players in the world, the product would suffer

                   greatly. If you handed MLB teams over to any 30

                   competent businesspeople, the sport would not

                   suffer. Actually, it might improve.”

                   in the wake of the Ukrainian “crisis” that Bernie’s

                   party did everything to instigate and inflame, we

                   are back to less than square one, because in

                   addition to the absence of a single progressive

                   rejuvenated empire initiating new exploits wherever

                   it can with whatever it’s got left.

                   Who, exactly, is this man, to whom so many gave so

                   At the present moment in the United States, this is

                   exemplified by popular responses to two crises. The

                   first involves a majority of U.S. states that are

                   seeking to use political power to control how their

                   past is officially taught and interpreted. This is

                   being done with the hope of forging a unified view

                   among future citizenry—one that returns to

                   perceptions of U.S history, race and gender

                   characteristic of a time before the civil rights

                   movement of the late 1950s and 1960s. This mindset

                   accepts segregation and discrimination based on

                   race, gender, sexual orientation and the like as

                   reflections of acceptable traditional values.

                   The second crisis involves the revival of Cold War

                   perceptions to shape the present and future U.S.

                   public views concerning Russia and Ukraine. Here,

                   the proffered story is of a bipolar world—one side,

                   led by the United States, is allegedly a “free

                   world” and the other side, led by Russia, is a

                   hostile, dictatorial and expansionist world. These

                   perceptions are characteristic of the time prior to

                   1989 and the collapse of the Soviet Union. It would

                   seem this past point of view, like the domestic

                   mindset mentioned above, never went away but only

                   retreated. In this way, past manipulated mindsets

                   reemerge into the present when circumstances are

                   right, and threaten to ideologically skew the

                   future.

                   in South Korea’s highly polarized electoral

                   environment, Lee’s mastery of political affairs has

                   struck an obvious contrast with Yoon’s lack of

                   knowledge and experience. As a result, the majority

                   consensus among voters is that Lee would be better

                   able to handle the challenges facing the country,

                   with polls consistently showing that voters trust

                   Lee over Yoon on issues such as international

                   relations and security policy.  According to the

                   latest poll, 43 percent say that Lee is more

                   capable in the sphere of diplomatic and security

                   policy, while only 31 percent favor Yoon in this

                   category. Regardless of which side wins the

                   election, however, Washington’s redoubled emphasis

                   on China-North Korea containment will severely

                   constrain the foreign policy of any new South

                   Korean administration.

                   First, Korea’s geographic location makes it a

                   lynchpin of Washington’s anti-China campaign. The

                   US perceives South Korea as a “force multiplier”

                   whose military assets and personnel will be freely

                   used by the US to supplement its military needs

                   anywhere in the Asia-Pacific region–even beyond the

                   Korean Peninsula. According to Tim Beal, as long as

                   its hegemonic rivalry with China persists, the US

                   will never permit peace in Korea, thereby forcing

                   South Korea to the frontline of a new US-led

                   regional containment coalition.

                   And the disease is pretty awful, as documented in

                   Abolition. Feminism. Now. by Angela Davis, Gina

                   Dent, Erica Meiners and Beth Richie.  This new book

                   lays out the systemic oppression and abuse of

                   minority women and children not only by the police

                   and courts, but by the foster care system and a so-

                   called child protection bureaucracy that

                   criminalizes, inter alia, mothers sleeping in the

                   same bed as their infants! Can you imagine any

                   government agency prosecuting a white middle-class

                   mother for nursing her newborn in bed – or using

                   such a routine, beneficial practice as an excuse to

                   steal the infant from its family? Such a

                   bureaucracy is in fact an icy sarcophagus for

                   maternal love. So it’s no surprise that for the

                   authors of this new book, everything – police,

                   courts, prison, child “protection” bureaucracy –

                   has got to go. And they make their case

                   convincingly.

                   Gendered violence is not some marginal annoyance.

                   It is widespread –but regarded slightingly in the

                   wider culture because its victims usually are seen

                   as marginal. It’s on a par with homelessness, a

                   problem that’s always there and lacks an easy fix.

                   The fact that domestic abuse has roots in a social

                   chasm so deep and dark that contemplating it is

                   dizzying consigns the problem to the political

                   wilderness. No politico aims to restructure

                   society. Besides, who would benefit? It’s not as if

                   domestic abuse victims or homeless people are

                   senators after all. But revolutionaries are

                   different. And when they say let’s smash the prison

                   industrial complex, including those parts of it

                   that supposedly aid battered women, they mean it.

                   In the past few weeks, reporters from various

                   country. The odious message here is clear: war is

                   not the normal state for “white” countries. But the

                   implication is even more odious: Ukrainians deserve

                   more of our sympathy than Afghans, Palestinians,

                   Rohingya, Somalians, Syrians, etc.

                   More recently, those itinerant continents were

                   — China and India — are now home to more than a

                   billion people each. But even modest-sized nations

                   can be massive in their own right. Spain and

                   Canada, neighbors in Pangea hundreds of millions of

                   million and nearly 38 million, respectively, making

                   them the 30th and 39th most populous countries on

                   this planet. But together, they’re no larger than a

                   nation-less nation, a state of the stateless that

                   exists only as a state of mind. I’m talking about

                   the victims of conflict now adrift on the margins

                   of our world.

                   it would be the 17th largest in the world, slightly

                   bigger than Iran or Germany.  Add in those driven

                         what-you-wish pricing is common. During the

                         pandemic, Bandcamp has waived its fees once a

                         month on “Bandcamp Fridays,” bringing the

                         company waves of goodwill. Even more

                         surprising, Bandcamp says it has been

                         profitable since 2012. (Last year, Spotify

                         had $10.7 billion in revenue and lost about

                         $276 million, according to company reports.)

                         Epic Games, which is based in Cary, N.C., and

                         is privately owned, said little about its

                         plans for music, and a company spokeswoman

                         declined to answer further questions about

                         the deal. But Epic’s statement on Wednesday

                         indicated that it was interested in Bandcamp

                         as a direct-to-consumer marketplace. “Epic

                         and Bandcamp share a mission of building the

                         most artist-friendly platform that enables

                         creators to keep the majority of their hard-

                         earned money,” the company wrote.

                         Under Epic Games’ ownership, Bandcamp will

                         Since the announcement on Wednesday that

                         online music distributor Bandcamp, a central

                         hub for independent artists and labels

                         selling digital and physical media, has been

                         sold to Epic Games, the gaming giant

                         responsible for Fortnite, Gears of War and

                         the Infinity Blaze series, musicians and fans

                         have been expressing concern that their

                         beloved platform is on its way to becoming

                         another victim of multinational

                         consolidation.

                         “Honestly, this sucks. half the money i make

                         off music comes from bandcamp, and even if

                         things are fine for the next few months, this

                         can only go in worse directions,” wrote

                         singer Mel Stone in one widely quoted tweet.

                         The sale was announced on social media by

                         Bandcamp CEO Ethan Diamond, who wrote that

                         the company would operate as a stand-alone

                         entity within Epic’s ecosystem. Diamond, who

                         did not disclose a sale price, will continue

                         in his role.

                         The latest Internet traffic report from

                         bandwidth management company Sandvine shows

                         that BitTorrent still accounts for the

                         largest share of global upstream Internet

                         traffic. There are quite a few regional

                         differences though. At the same time,

                         BitTorrent’s leading position is threatened

                         by Google and regular HTTP traffic.
