Summary: When it comes to actual news on the World Wide Web, it has become a
Soddom and Gomorrah of plagiarised/computer-generated text, misinformation,
disinformation, and outright spam; but with a little work it’s possible to
squeeze out the signal from the noise and this video explains what we use
THE changes we’re making to our workflow and the Free software developed for
the workflow (see our_Git_repository on_Gemini) can help us do the same tasks
as before, except a lot more quickly and sometimes exhaustively. It has already
made us far more efficient this year, freeing up time for tasks other than
Daily Links.
The video above focuses on some of the more recent changes, which include
colour-coding for themes and topics. At the core of these pipelines we have RSS
feeds (or Atom) and there’s more processing done to cull/remove the chaff. The
Web of 2023 is nothing like it was in 2013 or in 2003. There’s not much
journalism left in it and even distro reviews are quite rare. This means that a
lot more curation is required to meet similar standards and keep up with
substantial news. █

Layoffs⠀✐

years away from retirement age)

Summary: We can now see that an article published four hours ago says
“Microsoft cut costs through layoffs on this project [of Pall] and its current
development is not known, The Information reported.” It doesn’t sound like he’s
“retiring” of his own volition; Microsoft is cutting entire teams, projects,
and even managers.

Changing From Bad to Another Bad
Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0
http://techrights.org/videos/quitting-rather-than-changing-social-control-
media.webm
Summary: Some voices online and offline suggest to people “alternatives” to
Twitter, but many of those are just another Twitter; perhaps the best way
forward is to leave all those social control networks behind because there’s
more to life than pursuing recognition through mostly meaningless and utterly
worthless digital “likes”; those evaporate years later and nobody truly cares
about them (nobody on his or her deathbed will regret not getting more “likes”,
symbolising neither accuracy nor any other merit)
THE slug of the video above is quitting-rather-than-changing-social-control-
media because we really ought to collectively quit what’s toxic rather than hop
from one toxin to the next toxin. Social Control Media is inherently bad (it’s
modern-age sharecropping) and there seems to be solidified_consensus_about_this
in_Geminispace.
Many people simply lost sight of what the Internet should have all along been
about and, for a period of time, actually was about. Addictive behaviours or
“gamification” can cloud people’s judgement and many people nowadays think or
feel like they actually need some presence in sites they don’t control. Surely
we can do better than that, can’t we?
“Why not take advantage of these crises to explore digital independence?”In the
video above I don’t focus on my personal journey but instead leap to the
conclusion that “social” [sic] “media” [sic] is generally a complete waste of
time. To make matters worse, it’s very volatile or temporary. It’s subjected to
many changes, including change of mission, ownership etc. It’s just so temporal
and precarious. What you join today isn’t what it’ll be next year or in 5
years. To make matters worse, you won’t be a participant in agenda-setting or
direction of such platforms. Even those who self-host some federated instance
will sooner or later be forced to get on with the show, adapting to changes —
both desirable or repellent — in other instances (or pods in the case of
Diaspora).
Facebook is trying to take advantage of severe crises in Twitter (see links
below), but do people really want Mark Zuckerberg as their patron and master?
Why not take advantage of these crises to explore digital independence? It’s
definitely doable and it pays off in the long run.
Many politicians and newsrooms lost their power with the demise of Twitter. Let
them eat_crow. They put themselves in the mess because of mindless outsourcing,
lacking foresight or reason.
Moving like a drone or a zombie from one platform perceived to be “hot” (many
users/bots) to a “hotter” platform may leave people subjected to Chinese
crackers/weapons. Get off the drug, stop looking for stronger drugs. █
Related/contextual items from the news:
Mark Zuckerberg, otherwise known as the Musk of Meta, evidently
wants some of the ex-Twitter users that Elon has been shedding
from Twitter to join the fun on Instagram.
Last weekend was tough for users of Twitter. Not surprisingly,
this has led to another mini-exodus from the platform, with
Mastodon reporting that more than 300,000 new users signed up
over the weekend. The steady stream of users away from Twitter
has evidently caught Meta’s attention, because they’re
releasing Threads, a new mobile app that makes Instagram more
Twitter-like.
bills,_is_cutting_costs⠀⇛
Elon Musk can’t pay, or rather is not willing to pay a lot of
the bills that running Twitter accrues. That may be one of the
reasons why Twitter has set a limit on reading tweets, and why
he wants only Twitter Blue users to have access to TweetDeck…
rival_platform_gets_ready_to_launch⠀⇛
In case you missed it, here is what has been happening, Twitter
introduced limits to the number of tweets users can see daily.
Meta is all set to launch its Twitter killer, Threads,
available now for pre-download on the iOS App Store, with a
release date of July 6 for iOS and Android.

If you’re fed up with Twitter’s rigid rules and verification
system, there are Twitter alternatives that can meet your
social networking demands while also allowing more flexibility
and enjoyment.
Twitter rate limits how many tweets you can view daily to stop
data scraping. Find out how this impacts you and what other
platforms you can use.
Learn why you should verify your TweetDeck account right now.
Verification protects your account from spam and abuse while
also making you appear trustworthy to other users.

Twitter is going to stop offering its web-based TweetDeck
service for free, delivering a huge blow to users who relied on
the platform for social media comparative analysis and content
monitoring.
As Elon Musk’s antics on Twitter continue_to_wreak_havoc, some
users have chosen to find refuge on alternative social media
networks.
Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg is set to deliver a blow to Elon Musk as
the tech billionaires’ rivalry goes live with the launch of
Instagram’s much-anticipated Threads platform, a clone of
Twitter.
Analysts said investors were salivating over the possibility
Threads’ ties to Instagram might give it a built-in user base
and advertising apparatus that could siphon ad dollars from
Twitter as its new CEO tries to revive the microblogging
company’s struggling business.
With Twitter already on the ropes, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg has
delivered another blow to Elon Musk, ramping up the tech
billionaires’ rivalry with the launch of Instagram’s much-
anticipated companion service Threads, a challenger to Twitter.
“Let’s do this. Welcome to Threads,” Zuckerberg wrote on
Thursday in his first post on the app, along with a fire
emoji.
Instagram Threads — it’s like Twitter, except it’s not run by
Elon Musk.
Here’s what to know about Instagram’s new app for public
conversations and how it differs from Twitter.
This unlikely tag team has helped kill the demand and the means
for journalists to brand themselves.
privacy_concerns⠀⇛
Facebook behemoth Meta officially launched Threads, its text-
based rival to Twitter, on Wednesday, with more than five
million sign-ups in the first few hours – but its release in
Europe has been delayed over data privacy concerns.
Meta Platforms Inc. today launched Threads, a microblogging and
messaging app linked to Instagram that’s set to take on the
increasingly troubled Elon Musk-owned Twitter Inc. Threads is
being pitched as “Instagram’s text-based conversation app.
As a Twitter addict, I’ve been worried by Elon Musk.

Debian also has its share of ‘canceled’ people
Summary: Voicing concerns about bad code or unethical conduct (by large
corporations that sponsor a project) can cause forced resignations, public
shaming, or even overt banishment; a Code_of_Censorship is usually being
leveraged_to_justify_this immoral silencing of conscientious whistleblowers,
including project founders/leaders
THIS series has thus far focused on Linux, the Linux_Foundation, and Linus
Torvalds (attempts_to_'cancel'_him_predate_2018). Along the way it also
mentioned Richard Stallman, who in principle supports the free speech rights of
Eric Raymond. For those who don’t know, Mr. Raymond was basically banned by the
very organisation that he co-founded. As another notable example, and in no way
resembling the mindset of Mr. Raymond, we have Theodore Ts’o (Ted). We don’t
want to repeat false or trumped-up accusations, but let’s just say that this
input_from_Mr._Ts’o shows him defensive of Torvalds in the face of the mobs.
Three years ago I took a screenshot of it:

Notice how they’ve utilised secret mailing lists (such as debian-private) to do
their lynching. So much for transparency.
“Notice how they’ve utilised secret mailing lists (such as debian-private) to
do their lynching. So much for transparency.”So remember that those cancel mobs
don’t quite work out in the open; they often operate behind people’s backs.
When we published this in 2020 Torvalds responded in an article that quoted
him. Either way, the practice is more widespread than people care to recognise,
partly because much of the politicking happens behind the scenes, never to be
seen by the general public. It’s something we must all take into account.
With corrupt ‘journalists’ (phonies and imposters) it can become one heck of a
jungle out there. Be sceptical of media funded by GAFAM and IBM. Its objective
or its ‘product’ is not informing readers. It assigns staff writers to sell
outcomes to sponsors/advertisers. █

o ⚓ Make Use Of ☛ The_6_Best_File_Systems_for_Installing_Linux⠀⇛
Which file system should you choose when installing a new
Linux distro? Let’s take a look at some of the best
options.
Choosing the right file system for your computer can be a
difficult process. It’s easy to wonder: why do file
systems matter at all? Is there a specific file system
that works best for installing Linux?
As it turns out, there are two file systems that stand
out as the best general-purpose options for installing
Linux.
o § Desktop/Laptop⠀➾
# ⚓ Djalel Oukid ☛ The_New_Generation_of_the_InfinityBook_16

# ⚓ Unix Men ☛ 7_Linux_Software_Trends_To_Watch_In_2023-2024⠀⇛
The stability of Linux is one of the main
advantages. The system is known for its reliability
and durability, compared to some other operating
systems. It’s designed for use with a wide variety
of hardware, from personal computers to servers,
that can handle massive amounts of work and do not
experience crashes or other problems.
[...]
You can expect to see further improvements in your
favorite Linux desktop applications such as GNOME,
KDE and Cinnamon in 2023-2024. It is expected that
more flexible settings will be available for
personalization and a smoother, cleaner look in
GNOME. More improvements to the overall performance
of your desktop environment and greater
compatibility with Wayland’s display server will be
introduced when GNOME 42 is released.
On the other hand, KDE Plasma is known to offer a
wide range of customization options. With new
widgets and plugins, we’re going to have even more
room for customization by the year 2024.
Efficiency, device integration and privacy are
going to continue to be emphasized by KDE. In
addition, the Wayland display server integration
will ensure a smooth rendering of graphics and
platform stability.
o § Server⠀➾
# ⚓ TechRepublic ☛ Top_Six_Linux_Distributions_for_Your_Data
Center⠀⇛
Linux powers the enterprise. From the cloud to
containers and to the backbone of your network,
Linux is there working tirelessly to keep your
business humming. Whether you use Linux in your

Google Chrome on Debian 12. For those of you who
didn’t know, Google Chrome stands as one of the

power of the CLI, you’ll discover it has a lot of
cool tricks up its sleeve — including this one.
# ⚓ CNX Software ☛ “Fixing”_WiFi_6_on_Linux_in_Alder_Lake-
N_mini_PCs_(Intel_N95,_N100,_Core_i3-N300…)⠀⇛
It’s not an isolated issue, as one person commented
WiFi 6 and Bluetooth were not working in Linux on a
Beelink mini PC with the N100 in an article about
the T9 Plus, and I found out many people complained
about the lack of Linux drivers for the AX101 on
Intel community forums. They also left various
solutions some of which work, some don’t.
If you are using Ubuntu or Debian, the easiest way
seems to update the kernel to the latest Linux 6.4
as follows…
Hopefully, the latest iwlwifi drivers will further
improve support for AX101 WiFi and Bluetooth module
and will be officially released on the Intel
website (Note the AX101 is currently missing).
Linux 6.5 may ship with an updated version, meaning
it may be good revisiting the issue around the end
of August when the latest kernel is expected to be
released, besides monitoring the Intel website for
new drivers…
# ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ How_to_Secure_Nginx_with_Let’s_Encrypt_on

various files.
# ⚓ Kali Linux ☛ Pip_install_and_Python’s_externally_managed⠀⇛
TL;DR: pip install is on the way out. Installing
Python packages must be done via APT, aka. Kali
Linux’s package manager. Python packages coming
from other sources should be installed in virtual
environments.
Long story below.
# ⚓ Linux Capable ☛ Using_Systemctl_to_List_Linux_Services_for

Hardware Survey for the month of June, the share of
AMD CPUs in Linux systems has increased by around
7.6%, reaching a total of 67.15% share. Intel comes
behind AMD in Linux, with a market share of 32.84%.
Well, the reason behind the inclination of Linux
consumers towards AMD is the company’s commitment
to open-source technologies.
o § Desktop Environments/WMs⠀➾
# § K Desktop Environment/KDE SC/Qt⠀➾
# ⚓ 9to5Linux ☛ KDE_Gear_23.04.3_Is_Out_as_the_Last
Update_in_the_Series_to_Fix_More_Bugs⠀⇛
Coming a month after KDE Gear 23.04.2, the
KDE Gear 23.04.3 release is here to improve
the Gwenview image viewer so that it no
longer crashes when opening RAW image files

with reminders in the Kalendar app, as well
as to fix board position in portrait mode in
the KReversi app.
KDE Gear 23.04.3 also improves the Falkon web
browser with a new option in Preferences to
allow you to set the default search engine by
default, add an icon for boat/ferry

dissolution) to KDE e.V.
# ⚓ libQuotient_version_0.8_released⠀⇛
I’m excited to announce the release of
version 0.8 of libQuotient, the Qt library
for building software using Matrix.
§ This release brings to you
# Generated documentation, browsable at
quotient-im.github.io/libQuotient/
# Coinstallability of Qt5 and Qt6 builds
# Various stability improvements
# Updated Matrix APIs
# ⚓ Adriaan de Groot ☛ Qt_Commercial_License⠀⇛
It should be said occasionally: the Qt
Commercial License is terrible.
It might not be all that expensive, but it’s
rather clunky for device creation, and most
importantly, comes with a “Prohibited
Combination” definition that says “any effort
to use .. Licensed Software with any software
created with .. Open Source Qt”. I certainly
can’t interpret that in any other way than
“there is a tremendous amount of valuable
Open Source software, developed entirely
independently, like KDE Frameworks, Kirigami,
libQuotient, .. and you can’t use it.” It
really drives home the negative value of a Qt
Commercial License. – Which is why I’m glad I
care only about the Open Source bits.

# ⚓ The Register UK ☛ Two_new_Linux_desktops,_one_with_deep

Maybe the DBUS developers have a point: desktops
are like buses… you wait for ages, then two of them
come along at once: Lomiri on Debian, and GSDE, the
GNUstep Desktop Environment.
Both the new offerings focus on Debian for now,
although that may well change in time, and although
both are quite different to more mainstream
offerings, they each have roots in tech that’s been
around for some time. Lomiri is the now cross-
platform desktop environment that was formerly
called Unity 8, which Canonical cancelled in 2017.
As we covered back in February, Lomiri’s Ubuntu
dependencies – and trademarks – have been cleaned
up. Along with changing its name, now it’s much
more cross-platform, but we must confess that we
missed the full significance of what lead developer
Marius Gripsård told us at the time: [...]
o § Canonical/Ubuntu Family⠀➾
# ⚓ OMG Ubuntu ☛ Ubuntu_Plans_to_Ditch_its_‘Minimal’_Install
Option⠀⇛
When selected during initial install Ubuntu’s
‘minimal install’ gives users a complete, fully-
functioning Ubuntu system with fewer pre-installed
apps. The exact same ISO also delivers a ‘full

– this is the default, recommended option.
So having added a feature that users like Ubuntu is
now, umm, thinking about removing it.

# ⚓ Adriaan de Groot ☛ RISC-V_Pinout⠀⇛
There are two RISC-V computers on my desk – photos
eventually –
and they are moving towards “just work” state, but
they do occasionally swerve back into the default
state of single-board-computers everywhere: there’s
a serial port and you’re gonna like it.
From work a few years back with all the Pine64
boards, I have a handful of USB-to-serial
converters (and just ordered another one from Pine
as a backup), but getting the pins right is always
a pain. I’ve considered wiring up better
connectors, but never really gotten around to it.
As a stop-gap, I’m going to post (possibly for my
own benefit as a backup easy-to-find resource)
pinouts for the StarFive VisionFive V2 and the
Pine64 Star64 boards. Now that I’ve written this
down, I can finally remember “6=GND, 8=TX, 10=RX”.

o ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Coffee_chatter_about_urbanism⠀⇛
You hear some… things sitting at a coffee shop. Today’s
very loud conversation concerned real estate:
The houses down there are insane LAUGHS. If I can’t drive
there, what’s the point? LAUGHS. Build another damn
freeway and more houses, stop faffing about.
It’s important I hear stuff like this; it gives me
valuable perspective I otherwise lack in my comfy bubble
of sustainable urban planning and public transport. I
have this caricature of a suburbanite in my head that
earnestly believes “one more lane, bro”… but they do
exist.
The conversation shifted soon after, but the bulk of what
they discussed concerned traffic, a hatred of apartments,
and the sky-high cost of living in Australia right now. A
few times I felt like they were on the verge of an
epiphany, but then they went to hating on buses and
trains for the “people [who travel] on them”.
(Not wanting to take public transport because of “gross
poor people” is one of the reasons I gave up giving
someone adjacent to the family any of my attention.
Leaving aside the fact investment bankers with expensive
watches share my train to Wynyard each morning, what a
horrible thing to think about your fellow human beings.
Public transport is wonderful precisely because it helps
everyone. And frankly, my experiences with them have been
near universally nicer than entitled arses who equate
morals with money… and then show themselves as having
none of the former).

though, that the best camera in the world is the
one in your hand when the scene presents itself,
and probably one of the simplest cameras in the

tiny plastic lenses are not in the same league as
the pricey ones, but can they be used by a more

It has certainly been a rocky road for 343

player count on Steam is at around 6,000. Which is
about 2% of its all-time peak on that platform of
256,000 concurrent players. This according to Steam
Chartz.
While this data isn’t necessarily representative of
how Halo Infinite is doing on PC at large, or on
Xbox, it is telling that the launch of season 4:

the open world FPS among Steam players. Recent data
shared on Reddit indicated that the game has barely

In late spring, an unlikely subculture found
itself the latest target of attacks by
Russian pro-war activists: amateur K-pop
dancers. Aggressive war supporters disrupted
filming sessions of videos by women’s K-pop
dance cover groups on Moscow’s Nikolskaya
Street three times in May alone, including
one incident in which the attackers broke the
dancers’ camera equipment and one in which a
man physically assaulted a dancer. Nikolskaya
is the city’s most popular site for K-pop
dances, but fans of the genre have become
fearful about performing there. Alya
Kachalova, a journalist for the independent
outlet Novaya Vkladka, looked into the
attacks. Meduza is publishing an abridged

Today marks a historic moment in the lives of our
nation’s pregnant workers: after more than a decade
of_advocacy on Capitol Hill, the Pregnant Workers
Fairness Act (PWFA), signed by President Biden in
December 2022, goes into effect. PWFA mandates
“reasonable accommodations” for pregnant workers
unless providing them would impose an “undue
hardship” on their employer. For millions of U.S.
workers, the new law promises to assure they no
longer will have to choose between their paycheck
and a healthy pregnancy.
Pregnancy is a normal condition of employment; more
than 80_percent_of_all_working_women will have at
least one child during their lives. But existing
legal protections have been glaringly insufficient
for workers whose duties may conflict with
pregnancy’s physical realities — such as cashiers
(prolonged standing), nurses (repetitive heavy
lifting), custodians (exposure to chemicals), and
firefighters (battling potentially lethal blazes).
Under the Pregnancy_Discrimination_Act_(PDA),
enacted in 1978, pregnant workers have been
entitled to temporary job modifications only if
their employer provides them to others “similar in
their ability or inability to work.” That language
long has been used to deny needed “accommodations”
to pregnant workers, on the grounds that favored
non-pregnant colleagues are insufficiently
“similar.”

At 13, Bianca stood a little over 5-foot-3 and had

middle school in San Francisco. While they were
both in class one day in 2013, a staff member
entered the classroom, walked over to Bianca, took
her school-issued iPad, and left. Later, the eighth
grader was told to report to the principal’s
office, and everyone watched her go. Apparently,
the other girl had sent a naked photo of herself to
a boy in the class, “and the person who received
that, their mom saw, thought it was me, and
reported it to the middle school head,” says Bianca
(a pseudonym for privacy reasons), who is now a
senior in college. Bianca was upset, but she was
also brazen, sometimes jumping on her bike and
riding home in the middle of the school day. She
did just that, and no one called her departure a
suspension. Her parents believed her, but it felt
like they were the only ones, even though the
picture wasn’t on her iPad. Bianca’s classmates
started to look at her differently. The fallout had

The court’s decision here makes two important

patentee from later suing the same party for
inducing infringement since “an induced
infringement claim rests on evidence and
elements beyond those required by direct
infringement;” (2) res judicata cannot bar a
patentee from filing a lawsuit against a
defendant’s actions occurred after the first
lawsuit began. This is true even (as here)
when the original lawsuit was largely
declaratory in nature; the later actions
involved the same set of operative facts; and
the patentee arguably had notice of the
upcoming actions during the first lawsuit.

# ⚓ SparkFun Electronics ☛ Extending_the_Reach_of_Data
Logging⠀⇛
SparkFun has long offered embedded products that
focus on logging information from a connected
system or sensor. These ready-to-use products
enabled rapid data logging of a connected device to
a local storage (SD card) or to an attached serial
device, while delivering a low-power, flexible data
logging solution that required minimal
configuration and no firmware development effort.
Later versions also added the capability for
automatic device recognition, delivering a true,
plug-and-play data logging solution.
# ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ Basic_NFS_v4_seems_to_just_work_(so
far)_on_Ubuntu_22.04⠀⇛
Part of the reason it worked this transparently is
that the client and the server both had our
standard /etc/resolv.conf and had their hostnames
in a standard format (and have fully qualified
domain names in the same subdomain). My
understanding is that this matters because for
‘sec=sys’, NFS v4 clients and servers need to agree
on a NFS v4 domain name to insure that login ‘fred’
on the client is the same as login ‘fred’ on the
server. This ‘domain name’ can be set explicitly in
idmapd.conf(5), but if you don’t do this it’s
derived from the DNS domain names of the hosts
involved. In a production deployment, we’d probably
want to set this specifically in idmapd.conf just
to avoid problems.
# ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ Still_NAT’ing_with_IPv6⠀⇛
Things are different with IPv6. I learned that ISPs
typically delegate you an entire /48 range of
addresses, from which your router DHCP’s to your
local machines. This negates the need for NAT and
port forwarding, because every end point is
globally routable.
# ⚓ Filippo Valsorda ☛ I_want_XAES-256-GCM/11⠀⇛
In 2023, the way to use AES is AES-GCM. Anything
else is very unlikely to make sense. We might not
like that, we might wish OCB hadn’t been patented,
but with hardware support in most processors these
days GCM is both faster than the alternatives,
ubiquitous, and just tolerable to implement.

Awesome Linux Game Tools is a series of reviews
showcasing the finest tools for Linux gamers.
When we want to capture a video of our desktop, our
thoughts always turn towards OBS Studio, open
source software for video recording and live
streaming. OBS Studio may seem very unfriendly at
first, but it’s generally regarded as a must-have
for streamers. With Linux, there are always other
open source alternatives.
gpu-screen-recorder-gtk is a GTK frontend for GPU
Screen Recorder. It’s billed as a screen recorder
that minimizes system performance by recording
using the GPU only. It also claims to be the
fastest screen recording tool for Linux. That’s a
bold claim indeed and piqued our senses.

The rolling release distribution showcased its
commitment to providing users with the latest
enhancements and bug fixes while ensuring users
benefit from improved functionalities and better
performance.
MariaDB is the most recent package to benefit from
a new major version in the rolling release as
snapshot 20230705 provided users with new features;
the 11.0.2 version provides a new option that is
enabled by default and improves the accuracy of the
optimizer’s estimations for hash-join operations.
The package also fixes some optimizer crashes and
resolves the accidental disabling of some InnoDB
monitors, which should now be enabled by default.
Both Indonesian and Finnish translations were made
in the yast2-trans update and yast2-network 4.6.5

o § Web Browsers/Web Servers⠀➾
# ⚓ University of Toronto ☛ The_mere_‘presence’_of_an_URL_on_a
web_server_is_not_a_good_signal⠀⇛
There are a variety of situations where you (in the
sense of programs and systems) want to know if a
web server supports something or is under someone’s
control. One traditional way is to require the
publication of specific URLs on the web server,
often URLs with partially random names. The
simplest way to implement this is to simply require
the URL to exist and be accessible, which is to say
that fetching it returns a HTTP 200 response.
However, in light of web server implementations
which will return HTTP 200 responses for any URL,
or at least many of them, this simple check is
clearly not sufficient in practice. The mere
‘presence’ of a URL on a web server proves very
little.

This post shows you how to get a Circle in QML,
from the most basic method (a Rectangle with a

Canvas JavaScript API (which allows us to draw a
partially filled Circle, for a Pie Chart) and a c++
control based on QQuickPaintedItem. I wanted to
experiment with the Canvas QML control and the

If it were truly comparable to a world war, then
surely the Liberal Party (joined by the NDP) would
not continue to advertise on the platform. Yet
since the 2021 election call, the party alone has
run approximately 11,000 ads on Facebook and
Instagram. That is separate from individual MPs,
who have also run hundreds of ads. The Meta Ad
Library provides ample evidence of how reliant the
party has been on social media. For example, since
the start of the year, Anna Gainey ran over 500 ads
as part of her by-election campaign in Quebec.
David Hilderley, who was a candidate in the Oxford
by-election, ran approximately 180 ads on Facebook
during the same timeframe.
# ⚓ Michael Geist ☛ Ask_Rodriguez_Anything:_My_Ten_Questions
for_Heritage_Minister_Pablo_Rodriguez_on_Bill_C-18⠀⇛
Canadian Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez has
scheduled a press conference for later today to
answer questions on the legislative mess that is
Bill C-18. With Meta and Google announcing that
they will block news sharing and links on their
platforms before the law takes effect, the Canadian
media sector stands to lose millions of dollars
with lost links, the cancellation of dozens of
existing deals, and a bill that might not generate
any new revenues. Rodriguez has been flailing for a
response in recent days with mounting doubts about
the government’s strategy and its seeming failure
to anticipate this reaction. He will be joined by
MPs from the NDP and Bloc, who were supportive of
the legislation during the committee process and
joined forces to cut off debate and defeat
potential amendments that would have address the
concerns regarding mandated payments for linking.
There are no shortage of questions that require
answering and I’ve identified my ten on Bill C-18
below.

positions. In a democracy and where press freedom
reigns the powerful can be held accountable.
Transparency builds trust in times of the EU and
the Court experiencing a crisis of acceptance. In

How much does this disinformation end up

# ⚓ RFA ☛ Dalai_Lama_celebrates_88th_birthday,_expects_to_live

Tibetans say they have the right to do so according
to their Buddhist belief in the principle of
rebirth. They believe the Dalai Lama chooses the
body into which he is reincarnated, a process that
has occurred 13 times since 1391, when the first
Dalai Lama was born.
But China, which annexed Tibet in 1951 and
maintains a tight rein on the western autonomous
region, says only Beijing can select the next
spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhists, as stated in
Chinese law.
The Chinese government intends to appoint a pro-
Beijing puppet leader in place of the Dalai Lama
after he dies, giving it an opportunity to firm up
its control of the region, according to a report
issued in 2022 by the International Tibet Network,
a global coalition of Tibet-related groups.

final vote count was 1639 to 108, with a turnout
rate of just over half.
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) certification
of the results will cement the Stanford Graduate
Workers Union (SGWU), affiliated with the United
Electrical Workers (UE), as the official
representative of eligible graduate students in
collective bargaining with the University.
o § Digital Restrictions (DRM)⠀➾
# ⚓ MWL ☛ Notes_on_Amazon_Killing_Electronic_Subscriptions⠀⇛
Why did Amazon stop supporting subscriptions? To
force subscribers to sign up for Kindle Unlimited,
and to pay magazines less for their content. Amazon
has recently made several changes that make them
less friendly to readers and publishers alike.
While I have chosen to reject their electronic
publishing deal for new nonfiction titles, I don’t
condemn other publishers for succumbing. Amazon has
monopoly and monopsony power. The magazine has
decided that they’d rather take a fifty percent
reduction in income than lose everything. I’m
certain I’ve lost money by not having OpenBSD
Mastery: Filesystems available in the Kindle store,
and I will lose still more by not having Run Your
Own Mail Server in there–but the alternative is
unacceptable. Amazon’s goal is to reduce the price
of writing to almost nothing, and will continue
increasing the pressure on creators until we
capitulate or leave.

Microsoft, which has been fined 2.2 billion euros
($2.4 billion) in the previous decade for practices
in breach of EU competition rules, including tying
or bundling two or more products together, found
itself in the EU crosshairs after a complaint by
Salesforce-owned (CRM.N) workspace messaging app
Slack in 2020.
Microsoft added Teams to Office 365 in 2017 for
free, with the app eventually replacing Skype for
Business.
Slack alleged that its rival had unfairly
integrated workplace chat and video app Teams into
its Office product. The company did not respond to
a request for comment on Monday.
# § Patents⠀➾
# ⚓ VOA News ☛ Beijing_Steals_American_Technology,_Claims
US_Response_is_Attack_on_China’s_Economy⠀⇛
In fact, 80% of all economic espionage cases
by the U.S. Justice Department pursued as of
2021 involved China’s illegal economic
activities.
The FBI estimates that Chinese theft of trade
secrets, counterfeit goods and pirated
software costs the U.S. economy between $225
billion and $600 billion annually.
# ⚓ [Old] Los Angeles Times ☛ How_Piracy_Opens_Doors_for
Windows⠀⇛
The proliferation of pirated [sic] copies
nevertheless establishes Microsoft products —
particularly Windows and Office — as the
software standard. As economies mature and
flourish and people and companies begin
buying legitimate versions, they usually buy
Microsoft because most others already use it.
It’s called the network effect.
“The first dose is free,” said Hal Varian, a
professor of information management at UC
Berkeley, facetiously comparing Microsoft’s
anti-piracy policy to street-corner marketing
of illicit drugs. “Once you start using a
product, you keep using it.”
# ⚓ [Old] CNET ☛ Gates,_Buffett_a_bit_bearish⠀⇛
Gates shed some light on his own hard-nosed
business philosophy. “Although about 3
million computers get sold every year in
China, but people don’t pay for the
software,” he said. “Someday they will,
though. As long as they are going to steal
it, we want them to steal ours. They’ll get
sort of addicted, and then we’ll somehow
figure out how to collect sometime in the
next decade.”
# § Copyrights⠀➾
# ⚓ Techdirt ☛ Portugal’s_Shameful_Approach_To

The depressing tale of how the European Union
passed copyright’s worst new law, the EU
Copyright Directive, occupies some 36 pages
in Walled Culture the book (digital versions
available free). The main legislation was
finalized over four years ago, but countries
are still grappling with the problem of
implementing its sometimes contradictory
requirements in national laws. One of the
latest to join the EU Copyright Directive
club is Portugal. A Twitter thread from the
non-profit digital rights group D3 – Defesa
dos Direitos Digitais explains how the new
law implementing the directive was passed in
just about the worst possible way
(translations of tweets by DeepL).

# ⚓ Futurism ☛ Io9_Staff_Horrified_as_Site_Publishes
Error-Filled_AI_Generated_Garbage⠀⇛
G/O Media’s foray into AI-generated content
marks the latest of big media companies
forcing their unwilling publications — CNET,
Buzzfeed, and Insider, to name a notable few
— into adopting the controversial technology.
Worse yet, in many instances, these pivots
have been preceded or accompanied by large
layoffs.
# ⚓ arXiv ☛ The_Curse_of_Recursion:_Training_on_Generated
Data_Makes_Models_Forget⠀⇛
Stable Diffusion revolutionised image
creation from descriptive text. GPT-2, GPT-3
(.5) and GPT-4 demonstrated astonishing
performance across a variety of language
tasks. ChatGPT introduced such language
models to the general public. It is now clear
that large language models (LLMs) are here to
stay, and will bring about drastic change in
the whole ecosystem of online text and
images. In this paper we consider what the
future might hold. What will happen to GPT-
{n} once LLMs contribute much of the language
found online? We find that use of model-
generated content in training causes
irreversible defects in the resulting models,
where tails of the original content
distribution disappear. We refer to this
effect as Model Collapse and show that it can
occur in Variational Autoencoders, Gaussian
Mixture Models and LLMs. We build theoretical
intuition behind the phenomenon and portray
its ubiquity amongst all learned generative
models. We demonstrate that it has to be
taken seriously if we are to sustain the
benefits of training from large-scale data
scraped from the web. Indeed, the value of
data collected about genuine human
interactions with systems will be
increasingly valuable in the presence of
content generated by LLMs in data crawled
from the Internet.

A bill submitted to the Russian parliament
that would allow Western movies, TV shows and
other content to be copied and distributed
without permission from rightsholders, faces
opposition. In a letter to the State Duma, TV
companies and legal streaming services say
that driving people to pirate sites will hurt
rightsholders overseas and at home. Of
course, they also have a plan.
# ⚓ Torrent Freak ☛ Turner_Classic_Movies_Airs_a_Film

Turner Classic Movies is an invaluable
institution for many film aficionados. The
same is true for the private BitTorrent
tracker Karagarga, which archives tens of
thousands of films, many of which are not
available through legal channels. While the
latter operates without permission from
rightsholders, it made a surprise appearance
on Turner’s service recently in the form of
‘pirated’ subtitles.

Ferris Bueller’s day off seems to have been on June
5. I took the day off, as appropriate.
June 6 is the national day of Sweden, a national
holiday. I spent it slightly hungover after having
attended a concert with Covenant the night before.
[...]
I spent most of the long weekend with stomach
trouble. The usual IBS thing, I think. Dammit. I
slept a couple of hours during the day on Friday
and Saturday and spent most of the rest of the time
reading “Harrow the Ninth”, Tamsyn Muir’s wonderful
followup to the hilarious “Gideon the Ninth”.

Chaos Communication Camp, Chaos Computer Club’s
summer camp, is coming up this year. I’ve never
been to one of the summer camps, but as you know
I’m a regular at the winter conferences. Apparently
some people would like to see me go to CCCamp. I’m

Do you think you’re the type to dismiss? Dismiss…
thoughts, feelings, hobbies, people, work,
education. Literally anything. The Problems. I
would say I came to that realization recently, but
it wasn’t *new* information… It never was, when
you’re too self aware for your own good! But that’s
the problem too. You *think* you’re self aware, but
still don’t even realize… you’ve dismissed that
you’re dismissing SO much, so much that you got it
locked in the subconscious. Behind some foggy wall
you cant even bear to swim through after over two
decades of living.

https://80.style/

# ⚓ Storing_Markdown_image_description_as_EXIF⠀⇛
I wrote a simple assistant for my blog that
extracts the description of images from the
Markdown source of a post, and embeds it as EXIF in
the file. This way, when the blog post gets
announced to Mastodon they should have ALT texts
automatically populated.
# ⚓ The_Old_Computer_Challenge_V3⠀⇛
There have been a number of phosts I have read
about people getting ready for version 3 of
solene’s old computer challenge [1], which takes
place from July 10th – 16th. I think want to play.
There is a Sun Sparc Ultra 10 in my garage that
needs to be rebuilt. It was originally disassembled
to be installed in a rackmounted server case since
the original case wasn’t in great shape. That
rackmount case was repurposed for a different
project and the parts have been sitting in a box
the whole time. I still have the old case, which
has turned an ugly, aging plastic color and is a
little worse for wear. I think I want to use this
machine for the challenge. I’ll have to get’er
goin’ if I am to go the gettin’ on July 10th.
Hopefully it ain’t b0rq’d.
