EPO Site Survey

Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0

http://techrights.org/videos/epo-propaganda-roundup.webm

Summary: European Patents are being granted for no reason other than

application and renewal fees, awarding European monopolies to companies that

aren’t even European (only about a third are actually European); staff of the

EPO is fed up as it regards or views all this as an extreme departure from the

EPO’s mission (and it’s also outright illegal)

THE EPO‘s official Web site has been full of fluff, misdirection, and promotion

of illegal things (which are nonetheless lobbied for by multinational

oligarchy, hence no legal consequences for such promotion). Benoît_Battistelli

and António_Campinos have basically trashed the site, turning it into a self-

serving shrine that promotes shallow politics, not science. The latest

publications there are discussed in the video above, but meanwhile there’s some

news from EPO staff about “Bringing_Teams_Together”. To quote a publication

dated yesterday:

 20 March 2023

 su23015cp – 0.2.1 – 0.2.4 – 4.4

 § Bringing Teams Together (BTT)⠀➾

 Dear colleagues,

 Bringing Teams Together (BTT) is becoming a reality, despite the many

 questions and objections that have been formulated by your Staff

 Representation1.

 From the echo’s received, it seems BTT will be implemented by the

 line managers in all possible interpretations and variations,

 according to the mood and inspiration of the day2.

 We would like to get an idea of what is happening in the different

 teams: what, if any, policy or principle is used to allocate fixed

 workplaces to staff. Bear in mind that the administration has given

 the 3-day rule as a guiding principle for the allocation of fixed

 workplaces3.

 We kindly invite all staff to participate in this short anonymous

 survey with some information on how BTT is being implemented in their

 team. We’re trying to find out how BTT is implemented across

 directorates, how you feel about it, and we also look forward to

 reading your comments on this BTT exercise.

 At the same time, we can readily understand that some people may

 expect that BTT will have an impact on their level of performance –

 whilst their 2023 targets may well disregard any such effect.

 [redacted]

 Your SUEPO Team

 ________

 1 CSC Publication: BTT – A divisive exercise

 2 Also our colleagues are drawing inspiration: Bringing our Family

 Together

 3 CSC Publication: 3 days for a fixed workplace

 [redacted]

The EPO’s attack on its own staff is a sign of its failure. Only failed

institutions attack their own workforce and they won’t get away with it in the

long run. This already_results_in_vocal_concerns_from_the_EPO's_biggest

stakeholders. Compelling smart people to do irrational if not illegal things is

a recipe for disaster. █

Posted in Deception, Europe, Patents at 11:56 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Cannot make memes that highlight crimes of the EPO; that’s “illegal” [1, 2]

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇EPO_President_António_Campinos_and_UPC’s_Court_of_Appeal

Can Mr. Campinos rely on ‘copyright nazis’ to silence critics of the Unitary

                             Patent ploy?

Summary: António_Campinos and Team UPC are intimidating people who simply point

out that the Unified Patent Court (UPC) is illegal and Klaus Grabinksi, shown

above, strives to head a de facto kangaroo court in violation of constitutions

and conventions (the UK does not and cannot ratify; Ireland hasn’t even held a

And it’s_already_happening, with lots more rumoured_for_tomorrow:

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇Several_managers_have_been_laid_off_today._The_rumor_is_that

Summary: Lots_of_Microsoft_layoffs_lately and so-called ‘journalists’ aren’t

reporting these; they’re too busy running sponsored puff pieces for Microsoft,

usually fluff along the “hey hi” (AI) theme

✐ Rumours_of_More_Microsoft_Layoffs_Tomorrow_(Including_Managers!),_Probably

Azure_Again_(Many_Azure_Layoffs_Every_Year_Since_2020)⠀✐

Posted in Finance, Microsoft, Rumour at 10:09 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

As of a_fortnight_ago: (with some comments since then; expect the media to not

mention Microsoft’s layoffs and instead focus on Microsoft’s paid-for spam

about inane chatbots and “hey hi” or AI)

Summary: Amazon is laying_off_AWS_staff and Microsoft has been laying off Azure

staff for 3 years already, including_this_year, so it seems like the “clown

Is the Biden administration “OK” with letting Microsoft run the government?

This is not_the_first_time.

Microsoft stacking panels, as usual. All the leadership is from one private

                               company.

Summary: Cult tactics and classic entryism serve Microsoft again, stacking the

panels and basically writing policy (CISA). As an associate explained it,

citing this_new_example, Stanford “neglects to point out the obvious fact that

Microsoft is writing its own regulations.”

✐ Amid_Fraud_at_Sirius_‘Open_Source’CEO_Deletes_His_Recent(This_Month)_Past

With_the_Company⠀✐

Posted in Deception, Fraud, Free/Libre_Software at 10:36 am by Dr. Roy

Schestowitz

One week ago (March 14th):

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇Andrew_Bucknor_at_Sirius_-before⦈

Today (he also deleted clients of Sirius so as to dodge association with the

company; the names are redacted):

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇Andrew_Bucknor_at_Sirius_-after⦈

Summary: Not only did the Sirius_‘Open_Source’ CEO purge_all_mentions_of_Sirius

from_his_Microsoft_LinkedIn_account; he’s racing against the clock as crimes

quickly_become_a_legal_liability

Summary: Amid fraud_investigations the management of Sirius_‘Open_Source’

finally removed our names from its “Meet the Team” page (months late); but it

left in the page about half a dozen people who left the company years ago, so

it’s just lying to its clients about the current situation

      o ⚓ Hackaday ☛ Dreamcast_Linux:_Looking_Back_At_Linux_On_A_SuperH-

        based_Gaming_Console⠀⇛

             The Dreamcast is probably best known as the swansong of

             Sega’s ambitions as a gaming console manufacturer, but

             perhaps lesser known is the fact that you can run Linux

             on it. In a deep-dive by [Cameron Kaiser] over at the Old

             VCR blog, it is demonstrated what it takes to make this

             feat even work in 2023, and what one can expect from a

             system with a 200 MHz HItachi SuperH SH-4 CPU, 16 MB of

             RAM and the luxuries of VGA and network interfaces.

             What’s interesting about Dreamcast Linux is that it was

             among the first times that Linux got put on a gaming

             console, even if it wasn’t entirely official or remotely

             supported by Sega. In fact, the fact that it works at all

             has its roots firmly in an exploit that was discovered

             shortly after the Dreamcast’s release. While Dreamcast

             discs are generally in a format called GD-ROM (Gigabyte

             Disc), early on it also supported the MIL-CD standard,

             which was Sega’s ill-fated attempt at creating multimedia

             CDs with MIL-CDs.

             Not only did MIL-CDs flop in the market, the support form

             in Dreamcast units also provided a juicy exploit via the

             firmware that handles detecting and switching between GD-

             ROM and the much more constrained, audio-only MIL-CD

             mode. Later Dreamcast models dropped MIL-CD support and

             will thus also not boot Dreamcast Linux, which is an

             important gotcha to keep in mind when dragging out a

             Dreamcast for some Linux action.

      o § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾

            # ⚓ Linux Magazine ☛ MNT_Seeks_Financial_Backing_for_New_Seven-

              Inch_Linux_Laptop⠀⇛

                   If you’re looking for a tiny laptop that’s barely

                   larger than your smartphone and runs Linux, MNT has

                   just the device for you.

                   The MNT Pocket Reform is a full-fledged laptop in a

                   tiny form factor that could serve as your new on-

                   the-go hardware. Sure, it’s tiny and the keyboard

                   is small enough to be problematic for larger hands,

                   but having a Linux laptop in your pocket (granted a

                   larger pocket) has plenty of upsides.

                   The MNT Pocket Reform includes an ARM Cortex-A53

                   CPU at 1.8 GHz, 8 GB of DDR4 RAM, 128 GB eMMC flash

                   memory, an NVMe SSD slot (for up to 2 TB), full

                   disk encryption (via LUKS), Vivante GC7000UL GPU,

                   H.264/H.265 video decoder, Cortext-M7 Realtime

                   core, HiFi4 Audio DSP, a mechanical keyboard with

                   RGB backlighting, a micro-optical trackball, a 7″

                   full HD+ (1920 x 1200 px) display, Wi-Fi 802.11c,

                   Bluetooth 5.0, MicroSD card slot, and an optional

                   M.2 key B WWAN slot for 4G/5G/LTE.

            # ⚓ Mind Matters ☛ The_Raspberry_Pi_Phenomenon_–_Walter_Bradley

              Center_for_Natural_and_Artificial_Intelligence⠀⇛

                   For the uninitiated, the Raspberry Pi is a single-

                   board computer that runs the Linux operating

                   system. It can be either operated as a desktop

                   computer or as an embedded system (i.e., a custom

                   electronic device), or both. Historically, computer

                   systems were either general-purpose computers or

                   embedded systems. General-purpose computers

                   required too much hardware, too many chips, and too

                   much power to work inside an electronic device.

                   However, as manufacturers packed more and more

                   functionality into less and less space using less

                   and less power, eventually it became possible to

                   have a computer that was small, cheap, powerful,

                   and not especially power-hungry.

            # ⚓ Slashdot ☛ System76_Meerkat_Mini-Linux_PC_–_Now_with_Up_to

              Intel_Core_i7-1260P⠀⇛

                   Liliputing.com has an update about the System76

                   Meerkat, which they describe as “a compact desktop

                   computer with support for up to 64GB of RAM, up to

                   two storage devices (for as much as 16TB of total

                   storage), and up to an Intel Core i7 mobile

                   processor. It’s basically a rebranded Intel NUC.”

                   (Escept that System76 offers a choice of Pop!_OS or

                   Ubuntu Linux pre-installed.)

            # ⚓ EIN Presswire ☛ The_Kubuntu_Focus_Team_Announces_the_XE_Gen

              2_Linux_Laptop⠀⇛

                   The Kubuntu Focus Team announces the second

                   generation of the powerful Focus XE laptop. This

                   ultra-portable and affordable laptop is a great

                   choice for developers, creators, and those who are

                   looking for the best out-of-the-box Linux

                   experience but don’t need the power, complexity, or

                   expense of a dedicated GPU.

                   This generation features the i7-1260P CPU, which

                   provides a 16% and 60% boost in single and multi-

                   core Geekbench 5 scores. In real life, this

                   translates into very snappy performance and the

                   ability to handle large, multi-process tasks with

                   speed and ease. Other highlights of this laptop are

                   the numerous high-speed audio and data ports,

                   include Thunderbolt 4, and the capacity to attach

                   multiple 4K displays. Customers can tailor their

                   system with up to 64GB of high-speed 3200Mhz Dual-

                   Channel RAM, up to 2TB of 7,450 MBps NVMe storage,

                   and optional no-cost disk encryption. They are

                   shipping now and the base model starts at $895.

       not looking good to print every time, so I have decided to fix

       it up and suppress the error message.

* ⚓ uni Emory ☛ Does_Gaming_Add_Any_Value_to_College_Students?⠀⇛

       Over the years, people assumed gaming was unsuitable for

       college students. They thought it was a distraction hindering

       learners from focusing on their studies. However, this unfair

       judgment suppressed the many benefits it could add to the

       educational sector.

§ Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾

* ⚓ ZDNet ☛ How_to_choose_the_right_Linux_desktop_distribution_for_you⠀⇛

       The Linux operating system is a powerful, flexible, secure, and

       reliable platform that can serve just about any purpose you

       need. From server to desktop, IoT to containers, embedded

       systems, and much more… Linux can be anything you want it to

be.

       You may not even realize how prevalent the open-source

       operating system is. It’s literally everywhere. Your car, your

       fridge, your cloud account, your social networking account,

       your bank, Netflix, Spotify, Twitter… just about every network

       service you use depends on Linux.

       [...]

       One of the biggest reasons for this is that it’s not easy for

       the average consumer to head to Best Buy, Target, or Walmart,

       and buy a new PC or laptop with Linux pre-installed. Sure,

       there are plenty of companies that offer Linux systems (such as

       System76, Dell, Lenovo, Purism, Slimbook, Tuxedo Computers,

       Vikings, Ubuntushop.be, and Juno Computers), but consumers can

       be turned off by the higher prices of those systems. That’s

       fine, because Linux can be installed on most modern (and even

       older) computers, and it’s actually quite easy.

       Another reason for this is choice. For users who are already

       familiar with Linux, choice is a big selling point because it

       means there are so many options to choose from (on just about

       every front).

             I bought a brand new desktop computer on August 2014,

             almost 9 years ago.

             It had an Intel Haswell processor (i5-4690s), 8 GiB of

             RAM and a GeForce GTX 760. I later duplicated the amount

             of RAM to 16 GiB (precise date unknown), replaced the GPU

             with a GTX 1070 in November 2016 and upgraded the CPU to

             an i7-4770K in October 2017. Since then, no more

             upgrades. It’s been my main personal (non-work) computer

             including a wide range of privacy and security tools such

             as the PGP email client, the Electrum Bitcoin wallet, and

             the VeraCrypt disk encryption software.

             It has been in ‘Early Access’ for some time, undergoing

             various development phases.

             But, with a recent announcement, it is now closer to a

             The Purism Librem 5 isn’t like most other smartphones. It

             runs traditional desktop Linux, shrunken down to fit in a

             mobile form factor. And as with any personal computer,

             there are certain things you want to do right after

             taking it out of the box.

             The Librem 5 ships with encrypted internal storage. This

             is great since the phone is marketed as a private device

             like other Purism hardware. But the default password is

             the same for every Purism customer. That means you need

             to change this right away to have a degree of privacy.

             So I read this_post_by_Manu_Moreale yesterday, where he

             was talking about retrospectively editing posts, and why

             he thinks it’s a bad idea:

             I dislike the concept of editing old content on personal

             sites. And the motivation is related to my love for

             simple, straight to the point, chronologically organised

             personal blogs. I believe a personal blog can and should

             be a representation of who you are at different points in

                  20) [stable]

                  ** Bug fixes

                  ‘comm –output-delimiter=”” –total’ now delimits

                  columns in the total

                  line with the NUL character, consistent with

                  NUL column delimiters in

                  the rest of the output. Previously no

                  delimiters were used for the

                  total line in this case.

                  [bug introduced with the --total option in

                  coreutils-8.26]

                  ‘cp -p’ no longer has a security hole when

                  cloning into a dangling

                  symbolic link on macOS 10.12 and later.

                  [bug introduced in coreutils-9.1]

                  ‘cp -rx / /mnt’ no longer complains “cannot

                  create directory /mnt/”.

                  cp, mv, and install avoid allocating too much

                  memory, and possibly

                  triggering “memory exhausted” failures, on file

                  systems like ZFS,

                  which can return varied file system I/O block

                  size values for files.

                  [bug introduced in coreutils-6.0]

                  cp, mv, and install now immediately acknowledge

                  transient errors

                  when creating copy-on-write or cloned reflink

                  files, on supporting

                  file systems like XFS, BTRFS, APFS, etc.

                  Previously they would have tried again with

                  other copy methods

                  which may have resulted in data corruption.

                  [bug introduced in coreutils-7.5 and enabled by

                  default in coreutils-9.0]

                  cp, mv, and install now handle ENOENT failures

                  across CIFS file systems,

                  falling back from copy_file_range to a better

                  supported standard copy.

                  [issue introduced in coreutils-9.0]

                  ‘mv –backup=simple f d/’ no longer mistakenly

                  backs up d/f to f~.

                  rm now fails gracefully when memory is

                  exhausted.

                  Previously it may have aborted with a failed

                  assertion in some cases.

                  [This bug was present in "the beginning".]

                  rm -d (–dir) now properly handles unreadable

                  empty directories.

                  E.g., before, this would fail to remove d:

                  mkdir -m0 d; src/rm -d d

                  [bug introduced in v8.19 with the addition of

                  this option]

                  runcon –compute no longer looks up the

                  specified command in the $PATH

                  so that there is no mismatch between the

                  inspected and executed file.

                  [bug introduced when runcon was introduced in

                  coreutils-6.9.90]

                  ‘sort -g’ no longer infloops when given

                  multiple NaNs on platforms

                  like x86_64 where ‘long double’ has padding

                  bits in memory.

                  Although the fix alters sort -g’s NaN ordering,

                  that ordering has

                  long been documented to be platform-dependent.

                  [bug introduced 1999-05-02 and only partly

                  fixed in coreutils-8.14]

                  stty ispeed and ospeed options no longer accept

                  and silently ignore

                  invalid speed arguments, or give false warnings

                  for valid speeds.

                  Now they’re validated against both the general

                  accepted set,

                  and the system supported set of valid speeds.

                  stty now wraps output appropriately for the

                  terminal width.

                  Previously it may have output 1 character too

                  wide for certain widths.

                  [bug introduced in coreutils-5.3]

                  tail –follow=name works again with non seekable

                  files. Previously it

                  exited with an “Illegal seek” error when such a

                  file was replaced.

                  [bug introduced in fileutils-4.1.6]

                  ‘wc -c’ will again efficiently determine the

                  size of large files

                  on all systems. It no longer redundantly reads

                  data from certain

                  sized files larger than SIZE_MAX.

                  [bug introduced in coreutils-8.24]

                  ** Changes in behavior

                  Programs now support the new Ronna (R), and

                  Quetta (Q) SI prefixes,

                  corresponding to 10^27 and 10^30 respectively,

                  along with their binary counterparts Ri (2^90)

                  and Qi (2^100).

                  In some cases (e.g., ‘sort -h’) these new

                  prefixes simply work;

                  in others, where they exceed integer width

                  limits, they now elicit

                  the same integer overflow diagnostics as other

                  large prefixes.

                  ‘cp –reflink=always A B’ no longer leaves

                  behind a newly created

                  empty file B merely because copy-on-write

                  clones are not supported.

                  ‘cp -n’ and ‘mv -n’ now exit with nonzero

                  status if they skip their

                  action because the destination exists, and

                  likewise for ‘cp -i’,

                  ‘ln -i’, and ‘mv -i’ when the user declines.

                  (POSIX specifies this

                  for ‘cp -i’ and ‘mv -i’.)

                  cp, mv, and install again read in multiples of

                  the reported block size,

                  to support unusual devices that may have this

                  constraint.

                  [behavior inadvertently changed in coreutils-

                  7.2]

                  du –apparent now counts apparent sizes only of

                  regular files and

                  symbolic links. POSIX does not specify the

                  meaning of apparent

                  sizes (i.e., st_size) for other file types, and

                  counting those sizes

                  could cause confusing and unwanted size

                  mismatches.

                  ‘ls -v’ and ‘sort -V’ go back to sorting “.0″

                  before “.A”,

                  reverting to the behavior in coreutils-9.0 and

                  earlier.

                  This behavior is now documented.

                  ls –color now matches a file extension case

                  sensitively

                  if there are different sequences defined for

                  separate cases.

                  printf unicode \uNNNN, \UNNNNNNNN syntax, now

                  supports all valid

                  unicode code points. Previously is was

                  restricted to the C

                  universal character subset, which restricted

                  most points <= 0x9F.

                  runcon now exits with status 125 for internal

                  errors. Previously upon

                  internal errors it would exit with status 1,

                  which was less distinguishable

                  from errors from the invoked command.

                  ‘split -n N’ now splits more evenly when the

                  input size is not a

                  multiple of N, by creating N output files whose

                  sizes differ by at

                  most 1 byte. Formerly, it did this only when

                  the input size was

                  less than N.

                  ‘stat -c %s’ now prints sizes as unsigned,

                  consistent with ‘ls’.

                  ** New Features

                  cksum now accepts the –base64 (-b) option to

                  print base64-encoded

                  checksums. It also accepts/checks such

                  checksums.

                  cksum now accepts the –raw option to output a

                  raw binary checksum.

                  No file name or other information is output in

                  this mode.

                  cp, mv, and install now accept the –debug

                  option to

                  print details on how a file is being copied.

                  factor now accepts the –exponents (-h) option

                  to print factors

                  in the form p^e, rather than repeating the

                  prime p, e times.

                  ls now supports the –time=modification option,

                  to explicitly

                  select the default mtime timestamp for display

                  and sorting.

                  mv now supports the –no-copy option, which

                  causes it to fail when

                  asked to move a file to a different file

                  system.

                  split now accepts options like ‘-n SIZE’ that

                  exceed machine integer

                  range, when they can be implemented as if they

                  were infinity.

                  split -n now accepts piped input even when not

                  in round-robin mode,

                  by first copying input to a temporary file to

                  determine its size.

                  wc now accepts the –total=

                  {auto,never,always,only} option

                  to give explicit control over when the total is

                  output.

                  ** Improvements

                  cp –sparse=auto (the default), mv, and install,

                  will use the copy_file_range syscall now also

                  with sparse files.

                  This may be more efficient, by avoiding user

                  space copies,

                  and possibly employing copy offloading or

                  reflinking,

                  for the non sparse portion of such sparse

                  files.

                  On macOS, cp creates a copy-on-write clone in

                  more cases.

                  Previously cp would only do this when

                  preserving mode and timestamps.

                  date –debug now diagnoses if multiple –date or

                  –set options are

                  specified, as only the last specified is

                  significant in that case.

                  rm outputs more accurate diagnostics in the

                  presence of errors

                  when removing directories. For example EIO will

                  be faithfully

                  diagnosed, rather than being conflated with

                  ENOTEMPTY.

                  tail –follow=name now works with single non

                  regular files even

                  when their modification time doesn’t change

                  when new data is available.

                  Previously tail would not show any new data in

                  this case.

                  tee -p detects when all remaining outputs have

                  become broken pipes, and

                  exits, rather than waiting for more input to

                  induce an exit when written.

                  tee now handles non blocking outputs, which can

                  be seen for example with

                  telnet or mpirun piping through tee to a

                  terminal.

                  Previously tee could truncate data written to

                  such an output and fail,

                  and also potentially output a “Resource

                  temporarily unavailable” error.

⚓ Simon Ser ☛ Simon_Ser:_Status_update,_March_2023⠀⇛

 Hi all!

 In the past week or so I’ve focused on a NPotM: go-imap, an IMAP

 library for Go. “But Simon, a New

 Project of the Month is supposed to be new!” Right, right, the NPotM

 is a

 lie… But only a half-lie: I’m rewriting it from scratch. go-imap was

 one of the

 first Go projects I’ve written, and I couldn’t recite the IMAP4rev1

 RFC by

 heart at the time. This is just a roundabout way to say that mistakes

 were

 made. IMAP extensions — a lot of which provide important

 functionality — were

 designed to be implemented out-of-tree in separate Go modules.

 However many

 extensions change the behavior of existing commands, so trying to

 design a

 modular system is a fool’s errand which only results in a more

 complicated API.

 Go channels were (ab)overused in the public API. The internals were

not

 designed with goroutine safety in mind, so races were ducktaped after

 the fact.

 It’s not possible to run multiple IMAP commands concurrently: each

 time

 a command is sent, the caller gets to twiddle their thumbs until the

 reply

 comes back before sending a new one, paying the full price of the

 roundtrip.

 The parser has a weird intermediate representation based on interface

 {} Go

 values. Many functions and types are exported in the public API but

 really

 shouldn’t be.

             infringement of only claims 1 and 31–33 of each asserted

             patent, and because Sage did not file any counterclaim of

             its own (instead, it simply moved to dismiss Hantz’s

             complaint), we conclude that the ineligibility judgment

             should apply to only claims 1 and 31–33 of the asserted

             patents. We therefore vacate the district court’s

             judgment insofar as it held any claim other than claims 1

             Actually, the sun has already set in this picture. I

      o ⚓ Hymnography_for_the_Annunciation_and_the_Veneration_of_the

        Cross⠀⇛

             Friday (March 25th) was the Annunciation of the Most Holy

             Theotokos, where the Archangel Gabriel announced to the

             Virgin Mary that she would (if she accepted) bear Christ

             into the world. We celebrate it nine months before

             Christmas.

      o ⚓ Veneration_of_the_Holy_Cross;_good_news⠀⇛

             Happy almost midpoint of Lent! Today is the veneration of

             the Holy Cross, which I think I wrote about last year.

      o ⚓ Government_healthcare⠀⇛

             So, November of last year I thought, “Hey, I haven’t

             poked at

             Healthcare.gov in a while, maybe I’ll have a lookie-

             look.” I hop on

             the website and click some links, and find out that for

             people

             who earn a living there is still no affordable healthcare

on

             healthcare.gov. I get it, someone out there thinks it’s

             the bees knees

             (in fact, I think I recall reading someone extolling the

             virtues of it

             on gopher!) but it ain’t this guy.

             Fine, no big deal. My healthshare and self-pay is working

             out pretty

             well. It’s a lot of work and expense, but it gets the job

             done.

             Then, a few days after that episode, I get a bill in the

             mail for a

             state healthcare plan for two of my kids. Nice…

             bamboozled! Tricked

             into signing up for something I don’t need or want. I

             don’t recall

             asking to sign up for that, but they did get really,

             really pushy

             about getting all my info before I could even browse, so

             it’s not

             terribly surprising.

      o ⚓ SpellBinding:_Offensive_Words?⠀⇛

             Since its inception, there’s been a question of which

             words should be excluded, because they are offensive.

             This can get out of hand – someone out there is offended

             by the same words that seem completely innocuous to an

             unsuspecting, well-meaning person.

             On the other hand, _not including_ words is perhaps

             equally offensive. These words exist, ugly or not, and

             who am I to decide that no one is allowed to acknowledge

             their existance…

             After much deliberation I decided to not edit words based

             on their offensiveness. These words exist, and pretending

             they don’t may make some people happy, but there is a

             price. Editing our history to eliminate unsightly periods

             can only lead to the eventual disaster of repeating these

             horrible mistakes. It’s better to own our terribleness in

             the past and do the best we can in the future. That

             requires honesty.

      o ⚓ Dealing_With_Braindeadness⠀⇛

             Every once in a while I have a day where I’m just utterly

             brain-dead. Today’s one of those days. I just can’t

             muster up the energy to finish tasks and I get very

             easily distracted. Over the years I’ve learned different

             techniques for powering through those days.

             My brain-dead days are very often preceded by a couple of

             days of poor sleep (almost always self-induced). As a

             result, I can barely keep my eyes open all day and the

             urge to nap is overwhelming. However, I’ve learned that I

             have to power through and reject all naps. Though I may

             suffer during the day, staying awake will prevent my

             braindeadness from spreading into the next day.

      o ⚓ Predisposed_Sneakiness⠀⇛

             I find myself often inclined to go about things in a

             less-than honest way or in a way that conceals myself.

             I’m not entirely sure when this all started, part of me

             thinks I’ve always somewhat been like this, but I

             remember first noticing it one night when I was 12,

             slinking down the stairs. I realized I just instinctively

             was walking on the inside of the stair, where it had the

             most support, because it results in less creaking; and

             that I was making large, slow steps to try and create as

             little noise as possible. My parents never really

             enforced a strict bedtime so it wasn’t like I was doing

             anything wrong by getting a late night snack, but

             nevertheless I was hoping not a living soul would be

             aware of my being in the kitchen.

      o ⚓ Another_Monday⠀⇛

             I should have taken a mental wellness day today –

             especially as the weather was

             so nice – but I wasn’t in the mood to play hooky

             (strangely enough) so I just

             toughed it out instead. Apparently it was Friedrich

             Nietzsche who said “What

             does not kill me makes me stronger”. If that were the

             case with me I would have

             joined K-1 or UFC a long time ago.

      o ⚓ N_O_W⠀⇛

             Lately, my mind has been feeling like I am walking

             through mud, just really slow, not clear and not really

             going anywhere…and that is where it’s at. I attribute

             this to being sick on and off for the past month. We’ll

             see how things are tomorrow.

* § Technical⠀➾

      o ⚓ Power_Suggestion_Button⠀⇛

             Do you remember when the power button became a

             suggestion? My old 8088 had a physical power button. It

             was spring-loaded, and when you pressed it, you

             physically disconnected (or connected, it was a toggle)

             the power from the motherboard. It was a jarring, brutal

             action that suddenly robbed the computer of its life

             force, without any warning. No time to save files or spin

             down disks. No time for anything. It was mankind’s

             ultimate dominance over machine.

      o ⚓ Offline⠀⇛

             Offline computer use can work, or not. The best way to

             find out whether it works for you would be to drop your

             internet for a day or a weekend or whatever. Repeated,

             this should eventually reveal most of what, if anything,

             you are missing, besides the withdrawal symptoms. Most

             software should be fine, though if you’ve been offline

             for a while the very first thing to do after reconnecting

             is to check for security patches, especially if you

             actually need to entangle zero-day prone chunky

             chortleware with random interweb sites.

      o ⚓ No_computing_on_Sunday⠀⇛

             Almost, because this text is being written on a computer.

             The first ice cream this year eaten, some 2 cubic meter

             of ground and

             stones moved and shaped to form of a miniature mountain

             on our garden,

             and 24 km on bikes ridden.

             I also made a few pictures with my film camera (results

             will be seen

             only when I finish the roll of the film).

      o § Internet/Gemini⠀➾

            # ⚓ The_archeo-enthusiast_network_is_growing⠀⇛

                   As I wrote before, I try to send e-mails to people

                   who can tell

                   something about the Internet in the days of Gopher

                   protocol

                   popularity. Today I received an unexpected reply.

                   Unexpected, because

                   to my e-mail from almost a year ago. Fortunately,

                   we operate in a

                   small-net and by definition there is no rush here.

                   Things moved

                   quickly, and after a while we got a new story from

                   the early

                   nineties. And what’s more, the desire to write

                   about further

                   details. I recommend looking at [Authentic 1990s

                   experiences] and

                   d1337 writings.

            # ⚓ SDF_Neomutt_and_GPG_–_checklist⠀⇛

                   You shouldn’t put set pgp_decrypt_comman and so on,

                   because you are using GPGME.

      o § Programming⠀➾

            # ⚓ Learn_Git!⠀⇛

                   People keep gently encouraging me to learn git.

                   Most recently, a ham

                   radio operator reached out about some ham radio

                   software that I

                   cobbled together, and asked if I would host it on

                   github. He even went

                   so far as to walk me through the steps. Seriously,

                   that’s some kind of

                   investment!

                   As part of a recent project involving advanced

                   sound cards, Bootlin engineer Miquèl Raynal had to

                   find a way to automate audio hardware loopback

                   testing. In hand, he had a PCI audio device with

                   many external interfaces, each of them featuring an

                   XLR connector. The connectors were wired to analog

                   Large language models, known generally (and

                   inaccurately) as AIs, have been threatening to

                   upend the publishing, art, and legal world for

                   months. One downside is that using LLMs such as

                   ChatGPT means creating an account and having

                   someone else’s computer do the work. But you can

                   run a trained LLM on your Raspberry Pi to write

                   poetry, answer questions, and more.

                   Knowing who is connected to your network can be

                   helpful at times. For instance, you may need to

                   check the status of certain devices (whether

                   they’re up or down), find spare static IP

                   addresses, or make an inventory of devices.

                   Furthermore, this information can also help you

                   identify any unauthorized access to your network

                   and shared resources.

                   While you can check the connected IPs from your

                   router’s configuration page, it does not show the

                   static IP addresses. Luckily, there are several

                   other ways that let you find all the IP addresses

                   on a network. Let’s explore some of them.

                   Want to install packages on Arch Linux but don’t

                   know how? A lot of people face this problem when

                   they first migrate from Debian-based distributions

                   to Arch Linux. It’s easy to manage packages on an

                   Arch-based system, however.

                   Pacman is the default package manager that comes

                   pre-installed on every Arch-based distribution. But

                   still, there’s a need for other package managers

                   like yay as Pacman doesn’t support installing

                   packages from the Arch User Repository.

                   Quake is one of the greatest multiplayer gaming

                   experiences you will find. The follow-up to Doom is

                   essentially a first-person shooter but also

                   features a stunning multiplayer (co-op and versus)

                   mode.

                   Like an FPS Fortnite, Quake delivers a memorable

                   gaming experience. And you don’t need to pay for an

                   expensive server (or lug a PC around as in the old

                   days) to play it.

                   Ubuntu Flatpak Remix is a community-built

                   unofficial fork of Ubuntu that comes with native

                   Flatpak support. It was released soon after

                   Canonical’s announcement that it would not be

                   supporting Flatpak by default on Ubuntu releases.

                   Here’s all you need to know to determine whether

                   it’s worth trying Ubuntu Flatpak Remix.

                   Ubuntu Flatpak Remix is an unofficial flavor of

                   Ubuntu based on the LTS release that has been

                   altered using Cubic. This version supports Flatpak

                   packages only–there is no Snap support.

                   Flatpak is preferred by many users since it differs

                   significantly from other traditional packages. The

                   best part is that you don’t need to install the

                   dependencies while installing any applications as

                   the dependent apps or libraries have been included

                   in the package. They get installed automatically

                   while installing the main application.

                   It’s been six months since NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang

                   took to the stage at the GPU Technology Conference

                   (GTC) ’22 and unveiled the high-performance low-

                   power Jetson Orin Nano system-on-module (SOM),

                   targeting artificial intelligence (AI) at the edge.

                   Now, it’s GTC ’23 — and Huang is back on stage,

                   this time launching the Jetson Orin Nano Developer

                   Kit bundle with immediate availability.

                   Offering a claimed “80x” the performance of the

                   Jetson Nano, the new Jetson Orin Nano is designed

                   to bring the company’s latest-generation Orin

                   graphics processing unit (GPU) architecture to the

                   entry level — but can it deliver on the company’s

                   lofty promises?

                   [...]

                   The Jetson Orin Nano is designed to run Jetpack,

                   NVIDIA’s embedded software stack based on Ubuntu

                   Linux and formerly known as Linux 4 Tegra (L4T).

                   All testing of the review unit was carried out on a

                   pre-release version of Jetpack 5.1.1 with a few

                   minor bugs — including one which limited available

                   system memory to 6.3GB out of the physical 8GB,

                   which the company assures us will be resolved in

                   the very near future.

                         algorithms used in individual TLS or DTLS

                         connections.

                         Note that the underlying provider may define

                         the default named groups for each TLS or DTLS

                         connection. Applications may also use the

                         existing jdk.tls.namedGroups system property

                         to customize the provider-specific default

                         named groups. If not null, the named groups

                         passed to the setNamedGroups() method will

                         override the default named groups for the

                         specified TLS or DTLS connections.

                         Note that a provider may not have been

                         updated to support the new APIs and in that

                         case may ignore the named groups that are

                         set. The JDK SunJSSE provider supports this

                         method. It is recommended that third party

                         providers add support for these methods when

                         they add support for JDK 19 or later

                         releases.

                   Switzerland’s government says it’s ordering Credit

                   Suisse to temporarily suspend bonuses for employees

                   after orchestrating a plan for the No. 2 Swiss bank

                   to be taken over by rival UBS. The Swiss Department

                   of Finance said Tuesday that federal law allows the

                   government to set “remuneration-related measures”

                   in cases involving Switzerland’s biggest banks.

                   Authorities in Switzerland scrambled late last week

                   and this weekend to cobble together a $3.25 billion

                   sale of Credit Suisse to UBS. An outflow of

                   deposits and years of trouble raised fears that it

                   could fail and trigger an international financial

                   crisis after the collapse of two U.S. banks.

                         in a libel lawsuit filed by a voting machine

                         company. The $1.6 billion lawsuit filed by

                         Dominion Voting Systems alleges that Fox

                         amplified false allegations that its machines

                         changed votes in the 2020 presidential

                         election. Abby Grossberg, a former producer

                         for Fox host Maria Bartiromo, has filed a

                         separate lawsuit contending that Fox

                         pressured her to give misleading testimony

                         during her deposition in the Dominion case.

                         Grossberg’s claim is part of a gender

                         discrimination lawsuit she filed against Fox.

                         The network denies her allegations and

                         countered with its own lawsuit, seeking to

                   terms of up to 10 years for offenses related to

                   but piling more pressure on the East African

                   country’s LGBTQ community. The bill was passed late

                   Tuesday inside a packed parliamentary chamber, and

                   after a roll call ordered by the House speaker, who

                   had repeatedly warned it was necessary to identify

                   Of course, don’t neglect to use normal archetypes

                   The Story Engine RPG popped into my head the other

                   day, for apparently no reason. As I’ve mentioned

                   elsewhere, I have long been interested in this

                   game, original published by Hubris Games as

                   Maelstrom Storytelling and then as Story Engine. It

                   is now published by Precis Intermedia Gaming, and

                   in 2011 they published a revised version, Story

                   Engine Plus. They have in beta a further

                   development of the system, Story Max, which I

                   should really look at. Anyway, I really enjoyed

                   Story Engine, the few times I got to play it.

            # ⚓ TinyCore_Linux_vs_DOS⠀⇛

                   I was reading on SDF user candide’s gopher hole

                   about their adventures

                   with TinyCore Linux[1]. If you’re looking for a

                   well-thought-out dive

                   into what TinyCore is and why it’s awesome, go read

                   that post. In this

                   post you’ll just get a few random rantings.

                   The post by candide made me recall that I have a

                   system in the garage

                   with TinyCore installed. It’s an older Point of

                   Sale terminal with

                   very limited resources. It came to me (if memory

                   serves) with a

                   stripped down version of XP. I wiped that out and

                   installed TinyCore,

                   to make the box more interesting and useful.

                  # ⚓ Cozy_Spaces_and_New_Recipes⠀⇛

                         Since we moved into our new house last year I

                         have realized that my favorite thing about

                         it, aside from its location, is the big front

                         porch. The house is small and the porch is a

                         nice living area that helps make it not feel

                         as small as the official square footage would

                         suggest. It is an old house and it has one of

                         the big and deep front porches that were

                         typical on houses 100 years ago. It has been

                         really nice out the last couple days so we’ve

                         been sitting out there a lot and it is just

                         really cozy. The loveseat is something we

                         already had so we’re using it for now but we

                         want to replace it with a porch swing.

                   You can use Scorecard to evaluate someone else’s

                   software, or you can use it to improve your own.

                   To see a project’s score quickly, you can visit

                   Open Source Insights. This site uses Scorecard data

                   to report on the health of dependencies. For

                   anything not covered on Open Source Insights, you

                   can use the Scorecard command-line utility to scan

                   any project on GitHub, or you can run Scorecard

                   You can make a case for KDE’s konsole on much the

                   same reasons, but I think KDE and konsole are less

                   widely used and so you’re more likely to run into

                   issues in distributions and with programs. You can

                   get rid of the distribution issues by using a Linux

                   distribution (not an alternate ‘spin’ of a

                   distribution) that focuses on KDE, which will

                   likely take care to make sure their choice of

                   default fonts works well with konsole and so on.

                   I’m not sure there are very many of these left,

             Coming a little over a year after Trisquel GNU/Linux 10.0

             “Nabia”, the Trisquel GNU/Linux 11.0 LTS release is

             dubbed “Aramo” and it’s based on the Debian GNU/Linux 11

             “Bullseye” operating system series, but shipping only

             with 100% free and open source components.

             As you can see, this is a long-term supported (LTS)

             series of Trisquel GNU/Linux, which will receive updates

             and security fixes for about two years from the moment of

             the release. It comes with the GNU Linux-libre 5.15 as

             the default kernel and MATE 1.26 as the default desktop

             environment.

      o § BSD⠀➾

            # ⚓ Jon Williams ☛ Launch_OpenBSD_vmd_Guests_on_Demand_from

                   I was annoyed that Electron apps Other people are

                   annoyed that Signal doesn’t exist and wrote helpful

                   writeups. don’t run on my OpenBSD laptop so I

                   decided to run them inside a virtual machine.

                   Unfortunately, this laptop is underpowered by 2023

                   standards & persistent Linux virtual machines would

                   be competing with all the other memory hogs. gopls

                   I’d been kicking around the idea of using an ssh

                   ProxyCommand to launch transient EC2 instances

                   connected to long-lived EBS volumes so I figured –

                   why not implement this for vmd hosts? I could

                   forward Linux X11 apps to my desktop & be able to

                   use Signal.

                   I remember when I carried around a set of DVDs with

                   different operating system disks. Eventually, that

                   became a stack of flash drives with the installers.

                   Nowadays, I don’t need to worry about that as much

                   because I utilize the Red Hat Enterprise Linux

                   (RHEL) image builder tool to manage my operating

                   system lifecycle.

                   You’ve heard us talk a lot about the future of RHEL

                   and the installation experience. Overhauling your

                   server lifecycle process may as well start at the

                   very beginning with image creation. Image builder

                   supports multiple formats and destinations.

                   Ubuntu 23.04, code-named “Lunar Lobster”, is the

                   first short-term release of 2023, and it will be

                   supported for nine months until January 2024. This

                   release is about improving Ubuntu’s core backend

                   and progress work by adopting new packages and

                   technology. In a way, many changes are being

                   baselined as a preparation for next year’s LTS

                   release (Ubuntu 24.04).

                   The development cycle is almost complete. As of

                   publishing this, a beta freeze is imminent. So,

                   it’s a good time to explore this release’s new

                   features.

            # ⚓ Earthly ☛ API_Testing_Using_Playwright_With_Python⠀⇛

                   Playwright is a popular end-to-end testing

                   framework that Microsoft backs. With support for

                   popular programming languages, such as Javascript,

                   Typescript, Python, and Java, you can use

                   Playwright to test your existing software projects.

                   In addition to end-to-end testing, Playwright also

                   supports API testing using built-in methods in the

                   APIRequestContext class. This allows you to use a

                   single tool to implement both end-to-end testing

                   and API testing. Moreover, Playwright provides

                   customized reports with different types, such as CI

                   report or allure report.

                   In this article, you’ll learn how you can implement

                   API testing using Playwright with Python, then

                   generate an allure report for API testing.

            # ⚓ Henri Bergius ☛ Flow-Based_Programming,_a_way_for_AI_and

              humans_to_develop_together⠀⇛

                   I think by now everybody reading this will have

                   seen how the new generation of Large Language

                   Models like ChatGPT are able to produce somewhat

                   useful code. Like any advance in software

                   development—from IDEs to high-level languages—this

                   has generated some discussion on the future

                   employment prospects in our field.

                   This made me think about how these new tools could

                   fit the world of Flow-Based Programming, a software

                   development technique I’ve been involved with for

                   quite a while. In Flow-Based Programming these is a

                   very strict boundary between reusable “library

                   code” (called Components) and the “application

                   logic” (called the Graph).

            # ⚓ Jim Nielsen ☛ Logical_Properties_and_Ease⠀⇛

                   A few years later, I re-enrolled in the entry-level

                   programming class determined to wrap my head around

                   this “programming” thing. By then they were

                   teaching Python instead of C++ (plus I had a little

                   JavaScript, i.e. jQuery, exposure) and working with

                   numbers in a scripting language felt so much more

                   intuitive: just do the math then format the number

                   how you like.

                   What’s my point?

                   It can be difficult to learn abstractions that have

                   little relevance to our direct, lived experience.

            # ⚓ Bozhidar Batsov ☛ How_are_OCaml_Programmers_Called?⠀⇛

                   I’ve been wondering about this in the background of

                   my mind ever since I got interested in OCaml last

                   year. I finally decided to do a bit of digging

                   around and I’ve discovered that there’s no popular/

                   common term for OCaml programmers. The members of

                   the community did have some cool ideas, though.

                   For the past few weeks I’ve been ruminating on the

                   pair programming experience I have had at work.

                   Mostly, we’ve used screen sharing and that’s a

                   whole pile of pain I’d rather not talk about. Meet

                   and Zoom are great for some things, and the things

                   they’re great at are decidedly not sharing a window

                   of text that’s scrolling at a decent clip.

             In a moving tribute to his friend Ned Rorem, the American

             composer famous for art songs and sex diaries, who died

             last year at 99, the critic Joshua Barone reports that

             one of Rorem’s signature gags was to insist that

             everything in the world—from music to food to people—was

             either German or French. In that same facetious spirit,

             I’d like to propose that every era in the history of

             taste can be classified into one of two categories: those

             that prefer the Ópera Prima and those that prefer the

             Late Masterpiece. Periods that favor debutantes are

             romantic and avant-garde, or else give rise to a

             classicist revival in which the old forms are imbued with

             youthful vigor. Times that admire maturity gravitate

             toward the baroque and the mannered, or else to a

             modernist refashioning of tradition. When the essence of

             art is associated with youth, a whole generation

             rediscovers Mozart; when it’s associated with wisdom,

             Bach becomes fashionable yet again.1

             MONDAY last week threw a surprise. It began with word

             from Central Asia about a film project, an anti-war tale

             plugged into a moment in recent history. This meant

             liaising with an American scriptwriter friend in Oregon

             to whom I immediately sent a text. It just so happened he

             was waking up in the middle of the night ‘from one of

             those really long detailed dreams where for some reason

             your dad shows up with a sick dog.’ Pacific Time and

             Central Asian time are 13 hours apart and throughout the

             day I tried bridging the gap. ‘A Long Week in March’ was

             used to describe the military success of the 36th

             (Ulster) Division in the German Spring Offensive of March

             1918. Mine was no such thing — and the week had only just

             begun — but it was acquiring momentum.

             I spoke on video to a second American, this person in

             Philadelphia with a knocked-focus background, re-visiting

             his childhood. The power of the past was forefront in his

             mind. After discussing a new art movement in the Arab

             world, I explained how London was preoccupied with the

             latest banking crisis. ‘It looks like the Treasury will

             become the new depository of choice for those who have

             the financial resources,’ wrote Michael Hudson in

             CounterPunch that day. ‘Or gold of course,’ said an

             English friend, upset the greatest financial crisis in

      o ⚓ Counter Punch ☛ Revisiting_Are_Prisons_Obsolete?_Angela_Davis’s

        Enduring_Influence⠀⇛

             Twenty years after the publication of Are Prisons

             Obsolete?, Angela Davis’ case for prison abolitionism

             continues to provide the movement with its intellectual

             underpinnings.

             It was once seen as inevitable that prisons would be

             abolished in America. During the 1950s and 60s, that was

             the prevailing view among many lawyers, judges and

             politicians. Then came the War on Drugs, being ‘Tough on

             Crime’ became a political necessity, and by 2008 2.3

             million people were incarcerated in the United States –

             almost five times as many as in 1970. It seemed that the

             moment when prisons might have been gotten rid of had

             passed, and passed for good. Yet since the 2000s, prison

             populations have gradually declined. Just as prison

             abolition went from a mainstream view to the fringest of

             fringe positions, now it finds itself (slowly) becoming

             more widely accepted again. Whilst it remains politically

             toxic for most elected politicians to adopt an

             abolitionist stance outright, some of those same

             politicians have appropriated the arguments of

             abolitionist intellectuals and activists to call for an

             end to mass incarceration. There is no better

             advertisement for prison abolitionism than Are Prisons

             Obsolete?, Angela Davis’ definitive statement of the case

             for prison abolition, which turns twenty this year. Far

             from becoming obsolete itself, Davis’ work seems to

             become more and more timely with every passing year. In

             an American political climate that seems exceptionally

             hostile to left-wing ideas, it is worth paying close

             attention to a theory which, despite its most prominent

             advocate (that is, Davis herself) being a self-described

             Communist, now suddenly finds itself being given a fairer

             hearing. What is appealing about abolitionism? What are

             its weaknesses?

                   their data and the interpretation of this that led

                   20, 2003, air raid sirens were heard in Baghdad as

                   the U.S. invasion began. Within the hour, President

                   George W. Bush gave a nationally televised speech

                   from the Oval Office announcing the war had begun.

                   The attack came on the false pretext that Iraqi

                   President Saddam Hussein was hiding weapons of mass

                   destruction, and despite worldwide protest and a

                   Twenty years ago this month, the United States

                   invaded Iraq. On the eve of the 2002 congressional

                   vote to authorize that unprovoked and disastrous

                   war—which claimed the lives of at least 275,000

                   Iraqi civilians and around 7,000 Americans—the

                   editors of The Nation made the case for rejecting

                   that war of choice: “The case against the war is

                   simple, clear and strong.” At the time, few media

                   outlets stood with The Nation to oppose what so

                   many now acknowledge was a foreign policy debacle;

                   in particular, far too many liberals succumbed to

                   either President George W. Bush’s arguments or,

                   problem of Saddam Hussein’s brutal dictatorship

                   could be solved through military means. The absence

                   of accountability for a government that lied us

                   into war, and a media that jettisoned skepticism

                   for stenography, continues to endanger our fragile

                   Mao Zedong often cited a Chinese proverb from the

                   Han Dynasty that “No matter if it is a white cat or

                   a black cat; as long as it can catch mice, it is a

                   good cat.” Deng Ziaoping cited this proverb to

                   justify radical changes in domestic policy.  Xi

                   Jinping has implicitly put this aphorism to work in

                   national security relations by maintaining the

                   importance of correct political relations with all

                   countries regardless of their ideological

                   orientation.  As a result, China has stable

                   people and destroying property and infrastructure,

                   are brutal and ugly and give rise to hundreds of

                   current war on the territory of Ukraine is surely

                   In applying international law, as in applying

                   war machine running.

                   Beijing is attempting to position itself as a

                   possible. It would be difficult to explain its

                   reporting on the Silicon Valley Bank’s (SVB)

                   collapse any other way.

                   Last week it ran a piece implying that Silicon

                   Valley’s tech sector was going to be seriously

                   crippled by the collapse of the bank. The crippling

                   would occur both, because they would lose a large

                   chunk of their assets, which were in uninsured

                   accounts at SVB, and also because they would lose

                   access to a bank which was a major source of

                   credit.

                   at the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

                   DeSantis came to national prominence as a founding

                   a model of antidemocratic reaction, making Florida

                   the place “where woke goes to die,” as his informal

                   mentions of sexuality or baseline guarantees of gay

                   and trans tolerance from Florida public schools, he

                   Florida employers by launching a separate culture

                   war against the specter of “woke capitalism.”

                   Though other states have enacted bans on the

                   truthful teaching of American history and purged

                   school libraries of verboten race- and gender-

                   against left-leaning thoughtcrimes at their alleged

                   placed the anti-CRT crusader Christopher Rufo on

                   the school’s board. Rufo instantly warmed to his

                   new sinecure with eager plans to gut New College’s

                   faculty, admissions policy, and diversity mandates;

                   “the student body will be recomposed over time,”

                   while the college’s true-believing directorate

                   “will recruit new students who are mission-

                   aligned,” in Rufo’s unwitting echo of Bertolt

                   Brecht’s satirical dictum to “dissolve the people

                   tried driving the whole loop of Chena Ridge road,

                   which goes along the top of it, but I was unable to

                   find a good (public parking) spot where I could see

                   through the tall trees along the west side of the

                   road.

                   I sometimes get a kick when people say they like

                   the oldies, speaking about music from the 80s, when

                   I listen to some songs from the 1600s.

                   Back when I made communism my entire identity, I

                   started listening to a lot of the old union songs,

                   spread by the IWW in early 20th century America. A

                   good number of these songs were parodies of popular

                   folk songs and gospel music of the time. This was

                   an effective way to spread the popular talking

                   points for unionization in a catchy and easily

                   digestible manner while also protecting themselves

                   from dubious charges, since after all they were

                   just singing and it ain’t a crime to sing. The

                   phrase “pie in the sky” actually comes from one of

                   these parodies by the great songwriter Joe Hill,

                   “The Preacher and The Slave”, a parody of the

                   salvation army hymn “In The Sweet By-and-By”. A

                   great deal of these songs were written by Joe Hill

                   and he served as a great influence for future

                   folksingers like Woodie Guthrie.
