Posted in Deception, Free/Libre_Software at 5:05 pm by Guest Editorial Team

Hi there! Dear readers and followers of Tux machines and Techrights, I have

some great news to tell “gas the jews” DrKnife Matthew J. Garrett. He is very

much affected and gutted by my previous article (the fourth_blog_post). I gave

him two strikes bitter pills:

    🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Offensive messages from Matthew J. Garrett⦈

mjg (DrAxe Matthew J. Garrett) and elusive_woman dropping from IRC at the same

time.

“gas the jews” DrKnife Matthew J. Garrett a.k.a elusive_woman talking as a

first person and referring to the Debian stabbing drama:

    🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Offensive messages from Matthew J. Garrett⦈

There is no way the narcissist and psychopath DrKnife Garrett can refute those

revelations, there is nothing to refute here because he’s disclosing or

exposing himself — the brain is drained out and no sanity is left…. nada/zero.

What an “emotional rollercoaster”. This gives him “sadness” and it troubles him

a lot like a madman, desperately running out of ideas and tactics. Burnout for

“gas the jews” DrAxe Garrett means more trolling and sabotaging:

    🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴 🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽 ⦇Offensive messages from Matthew J. Garrett⦈

“kill the jews” DrAxe Garrett’s “personal projects” [sic] is to personally

attack Roy Schestowitz, the Techrights IRC channel and the Techrights website.

Remember, ladies and gentlemen, that “kill the jews” DrAxe Matthew J. Garrett

is part of a growing community of non-contributing toxic FOSS participants

whose goal is to sabotage and target people of a specific demography while

fighting against FOSS goals/people in all of their professional activities. In

fact, this trolling and effort at alienating Techrights is not mainly done by

the narcissist and psychopath “gas the jews” DrKnife Garrett; this is a

collaboration job. Just remember that in my last blog post (fourth blog post) I

mentioned apes and, well, guess what? I’m now going to reveal the face, but I’m

not gonna say or disclose too much information as I planned to write a separate

blog post for this particular persona.

“This gives him “sadness” and it troubles him a lot like a madman, desperately

running out of ideas and tactics.” This ape (specifically) that I’m talking

about is acting like a criminal, he may have been evading the police/

authorities in Canada, and hiding behind a community to distract/deny the

police from holding him accountable for his unethical behaviour and online

crimes. Without further ado, I’m pleased to present Mr. Brandon Lozza a.k.a

“reptoidz”, “chicksahoy”, and “starstreak”. You are now a star, starstreak,

savour the brief limelight I’m giving you.

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇Brandon_Lozza⦈_

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇Britney_Lozza⦈_

Brandon (the loser) or Britney Lozza (yes, changes name), possibly using

multiple names for the purpose of dodging debt or criminal responsibility,

seems to be assuming impunity. If the primary motive is to escape a past

identity for legal reasons, it is illegal in the US (I guess he is well aware

of this). Lozza was pondering about suing my husband Roy Schestowitz or hoping

somebody will do it on his behalf. This was way back, probably last year. The

below are examples Lozza talking as “chicksahoy”:

chicksahoy: thats why i dont sue roy, i dont care

chicksahoy: technically someone could, thats all im saying

The duo (“kill the jews” DrAxe Garrett and Brandon (the loser)) were trying to

muddy the water, trying to create some uncertainties in the channel, but of

course as usual the tactic doesn’t work and won’t favour their evil plan… for

their vain motivations, as usual, there is nothing to show. The egomaniac “gas

the jews” DrAxe Garrett and Mr. Brandon (the loser) were talking and planning

to hijack and take over the Techrights domain over Mastodon:

🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽⦇Screenshot_from_Mastodon:Lozza_and_DrAxe⦈

You see? This is how desperately evil, psychopathic and sociopathic these

people are. Brandon\Britney is unemployed like “gas the jews” DrAxe Garrett –

well, it is not a surprise, who is going to hire criminals, serial_defamers and

serial liars after all? Brandon (the loser) Lozza was dreaming of having a law

firm. In his own words:

chicksahoy: if i had my own law firm it would be called “Social Justice

Warriors”

Hmmm, I’ve heard you are learning and studying how to be a paralegal (in that

context). Well, since you are unemployed and have free time, that’s better—

apart from trolling and sabotaging Techrights IRC channels in partnership with

the puppetmaster “kill the jews” DrKnife Matthew J. Garrett. My best bet, since

you are likely avoiding the police and since you are possibly running away from

crime cases or charges against you, hiring a good lawyer will cost you money,

which you can’t afford. Well. Good luck! Speaking of grep, I have been using

the command-line utility a lot recently (more so since I left Sirius), as

hunting down and exploring criminal activities in this underworld of yours is

something to be done meticulously and patiently. It’s also done by checking the

back-end and databases. It takes time, as IRC logs are not good enough for one

to pin down perpetrators. In practice it requires a lot of resources and

manpower.

“My best bet, since you are likely avoiding the police and since you are

possibly running away from crime cases or charges against you, hiring a good

lawyer will cost you money, which you can’t afford.” I want to emphasise and

remind everyone that this is not just about a personal grudge to “gas the jews”

DrAxe Garrett and to any collaborators of his. This is way beyond that and

there are more interesting, deep tie-ins with relations and connections to “gas

the jews” DrKnife Garrett pushing and campaigning UEFI Restricted Boot. The

likes of Garrett, Lozza, and Isis (likely partner in crime of “kill the jews”

DrAxe Garrett) are simply trying to silence discussion of the damage they have

helped bring upon society on behalf of their masters/handlers in Redmond

(Microsoft). Yes, there is a personal aspect, as after all the hate crimes,

abhorrent shaming (using sexual context) etc. I had to endure even unprovoked.

These humiliation tactics must be addressed, otherwise this will just go on and

never stop. But the larger context is about dealing with a Microsoft tool which

damaged computing through getting the courts to stay off of Microsoft about

Restricted Boot by providing (or merely relaying) patches which allow the

Trojan horse (UEFI) to temporarily allow Linux to run. My blog posts and

writings sent an important message, I hope. It is crucial and it is important

to stress again and again that this is not a directive happening in isolation

and instead part of a larger problem from Microsoft. To reiterate the full

context regarding UEFI, Dr. Roy Schestowitz (Techrights) has_been_covering_and

writing_abundantly_about_the_topic. This is Roy’s_latest_article.

“The trans community must take action and stop them before they can create more

sockpuppets and do further damage, which can become irreversible.” “kill the

jews” DrAxe Matthew J. Garrett’s and Brandon (the loser) Lozza’s “ultimate

goal” is to ‘cancel’ people or destroy what’s hampering or blocking their

vicious plan. They are using and hiding behind a community; they pick on people

who are not part of a certain demographic group. “kill the jews” DrAxe Matthew

J. Garrett and Brandon (the loser) Lozza have repeatedly embarrassed trans

people. They don’t represent trans people. They neither speak nor stand for

anybody except their personal goal and ego. The minority group must know and be

aware that these people are destroying the image of trans people. They present

a false and shameful image to the general public. The trans community must take

action and stop them before they can create more sockpuppets and do further

damage, which can become irreversible. “kill the jews” DrKnife Matthew

J.Garrett, Brandon (the loser) Lozza and collaborators of theirs are not the

last people to undermine FOSS. For sure there will be more coming. To make

people and the general public aware that these evil people exist is good

enough, as at least next time we will already know and be forewarned. The

handlers are using and manipulating these people; when they become a liability

and are of no use anymore they will be displaced and replacement be dispatched.

This can happen any time soon. DrKnife Matthew J. Garrett and Brandon (the

loser) Lozza know that their vengeful actions will come to an end. As the man

says right here:

✐ “Internet_Villain”_Mozilla._Can_Enough_Really_Be_Said?⠀✐

Posted in Free/Libre_Software at 6:50 pm by Guest Editorial Team

Reprinted with permission from Ryan_Farmer. Also available_in_Gemini.

“I

nternet Villain” Mozilla (77 million lost users since January 2019), which

actually attacked Richard Stallman publicly, as “all of Mozilla” (signature

35), on a petition of lies, bleeds users to Brave Browser and Mozilla’s forks.

So how is that working out for them?

After realizing that these petitions were a smear campaign organized by large

tech firms and they had been used and now had publicly gone on record as

enemies of Free Software, some people un-signed the petition and then contacted

Roy trying to weasel their way out of copies of former revisions, citing

“privacy”.

Most of the signatories of the petition are companies working against software

Freedom, like “Internet Villain” Mozilla, which hires people straight out of

Facebook and the Central_Intelligence_Agency, and gives Internet Privacy Awards

to Comcast, one of the most notorious ISPs for many years, which even did such

actions as NXDOMAIN (No Such Domain) hijackings of invalid Web sites to a

Comcast page of ads, and Man-In-The-Middle) (MITM) attacks against unencrypted

Web page loads to display messages and inject JavaScripts.

Mozilla also fills_Firefox_with_trash_and_spyware_and_ads that drive their

users away in droves.

I was noticing that Brave‘s Active Monthly Users was about 20 million before

the “COVID lockdowns” and has worked its way up to almost_60_million. An

increase of nearly 40 million. In the mean time, Mozilla has chased out 77

million monthly active users.

It seems that roughly 75% of the users that Mozilla has chased out have gone to

Brave alone.

Brendan Eich is vindicated.

They forced him out of the CEO role at Mozilla so that the current CEO,

Mitchell Baker, who is something of a “corporate arsonist” in my opinion, could

ascend to CEO and fill Firefox with trash, DRM, and “Chrome-isms”. (Bad,

oftentimes impossible-to-secure “features” of the Web Platform, dictated by

Google.)

Now the people at Mozilla, (at least the ones that didn’t get sacked in the

huge rounds of layoffs!) get to reap the rotten fruit of their coup against

Eich.

Mozilla sacked 70_in_the_first_round_and_250_in_the_next, and that was just in

2020 alone.

Then what these places generally do next is go on hiring freezes and quit

replacing people who leave. So there can be substantial further losses but the

bad “news” stops getting published.

What we get is a Firefox that barely changes, except patches to deal with

Windows spyware that crashes it and some Chromeisms, and more “parasite-ware”

like “Firefox Suggest”, which is aggravating adware and a keylogger.

Mozilla, an enemy of Free Software, is clearly perishing, and Brendan Eich is

well into the process of bringing the whole rotten temple down on top of them.

He is pushing back harder on the junk that Mozilla always ends up welcoming

with open arms after some tepid disapproval that ultimately accomplishes

nothing except feel good PR before they attack the Open Internet again.

Recently, Brave Software had this to say about Google’s WEI “proposal”.

 Brave strongly opposes Google’s “Web_Environment_Integrity” (WEI)

 proposal. As with many of Google’s recent changes and proposals

 regarding the Web, “Web Environment Integrity” would move power away

 from users, and toward large websites, including the websites Google

 itself runs. Though Brave uses Chromium, Brave browsers do not (and

 will not) include WEI.1 Further, some browsers have introduced other

 features similar to, though more limited than, WEI (e.g., certain

 parts of WebAuthn and Privacy Keys); Brave is considering how to best

 restrict these features without breaking benign uses.

 Google’s WEI proposal is frustrating, but it’s not surprising. WEI is

 simply the latest in Google’s ongoing efforts to prevent browser

 users from being in control of how they read, interact with, and use

 the Web. Google’s WebBundles_proposal makes it more difficult for

 users to block or filter out unwanted page content, Google’s_First

 Party_Sets_feature makes it more difficult for users to make

 decisions around which sites can track users, and Google’s_weakening

 of_browser_extensions straightforwardly makes it harder for users to

 be in control of their Web experience by crippling top ad-and-

 tracker-blocking extensions such as uBlock_Origin.2 This is

 unfortunately far from a complete list of recent, similar user-

 harming Web proposals from Google. Again, Brave disables_or_modifies

 all of these features in Brave’s browsers.

 The Web is the world’s most popular, and therefore most important,

 open system for sharing information and distributing applications. It

 is critical that users stay in control of how they interact with the

 Web, and for the Web not to be reduced to a series of take-it-or-

 leave-it black-boxes that users can’t inspect, can’t understand, and

 can’t modify. Google’s WEI proposal (like many other Google

 proposals) intentionally shifts power away from users, and towards

 large websites and advertisers.

 WEI is the latest step in a terrible direction Google is pushing for

 the Web. Web users deserve a browser that doesn’t treat them as

 enemies that need to be restricted and controlled.

 –“Web_Environment_Integrity”:_Locking_Down_the_Web, by Peter Snyder,

 VP of Privacy Engineering and Senior Privacy Researcher

When Brendan Eich commented directly,

 We are a fork, have been all along, the “reskinned” claim is complete

 nonsense. We won’t be shipping WEI support, just as we disable or

 otherwise nullify lots of other junk that Google puts into Chromium.“

 –Brendan_Eich

Brave has done a lot of things for your privacy, including, recently, blocking

sites_from_port-scanning_you.

 Malicious websites use all manner of tricks to worm their way into

 our systems, but in order for them to be most effective at their

 nastiness, they need to know what they’re facing. That often means

 scanning our phones and computers, looking for open network ports and

 identifying the programs running on them. The data that generates can

 effectively “fingerprint” your device, letting the malicious site

 identify and track you — even if you use a browser with safeguards

 like an ad-blocker. So far, your best protection has been to install

 a third-party browser extension that blocks local port scanning, but

 now the Brave browser is tackling this problem head-on, by preventing

 websites from scanning open ports on your device in the first place.

 -Android Police

In what can only be described as a deliciously delusional case of irony,

Mozilla recently announced that, while everyone is running for the “fire exits”

to get away from Firefox, which is burning down due to the “corporate arsonist”

and her minions, you may now “import your Chrome WebExtensions if you are

switching from Google Chrome”.

That’s like the Titanic welcoming new passengers after it hit the iceberg.

As we used to say, ROFLCOPTER.

With 77 million lost Firefox users since January 2019, Eich got 75% and the

other 25% went off to one of the half-dozen Firefox forks (including LibreWolf)

that have been sanitized, purged of malicious software, or even to SeaMonkey,

Vivaldi, or the “even-worse-than-firefox” Google Chrome. █

✐ Mozilla_Fully_Corrupted_and_Assault_on_the_Internet_Archive_While_America

Crumbles⠀✐

Posted in Deception at 2:19 am by Guest Editorial Team

Reprinted with permission from Ryan_Farmer.

More on the corruption of Firefox, along with a social commentary regarding the

assault on the Internet Archive and American Decline.

16 years ago, Robert Strong “They/Them”, proposed_removing_the_Gopher_protocol

from_Mozilla_Firefox.

This is a form of vandalism and the start of giving Google total control of the

company.

The Gopher protocol is very simple and contained no known security holes. It

was implemented in Gecko with code inherited from Netscape, which_was_not_huge.

The “proposal” was more outrageous than their removal of File Transfer Protocol

support, which could have been beaten into better shape by dropping support for

old and weird server implementations that nobody used.

It was surprisingly low maintenance as evidenced by how few iterations of the

code there needed to be despite the fact that it was over a decade and a half

old and ported from another browser at the time it was deleted.

In fact, Mozilla basically ignored community offers to help refactor it to be

even smaller.

Interesting that they call something a security hazard when they merge entire

systems to run proprietary binaries (WebAssemblies) into Firefox now because

that’s what Google told them to do.

WebAssembly code is not well-written and it’s not a well-written specification,

and it is impossible to properly secure without turning it off in about:config.

I still use Gopher protocol, many of the times I use it it’s to cut bloat out

of Reddit or even Wikipedia and just read the text.

We all know why Google and Mozilla drop things like Gopher and FTP. It’s a

power grab. If you can drop something from a Web browser, to many people it

simply doesn’t exist.

They have been conditioned to think of the Internet not as a suite of

protocols, dozens of which are not the Web, but “whatever some stupid Web site

wants to run on my computer” which is normally a very insecure and bloated “Web

App”.

I wish I could report that Mozilla and Google’s vandalism of Gecko stopped with

Firefox, but I can’t. Rust modules and the deletion of Gopher have even made it

into SeaMonkey. ChatZilla still recognizes gopher:// as a link, but when you

click it, it says it can’t open them and to try the extension, which is

OverBiteFF, which is broken, replaced by a “WebExtension” barf which does not

work.

Lagrange (a Gemini and Gopher browser) is fantastic.

It is beyond the reach of Mozilla and Google. (Like Belarus and Russia,

respectively.)

For a while, you could put Gopher back into Firefox yourself with “OverBiteFF”,

but eventually Mozilla threw out powerful XUL extensions and replaced them with

trash modeled on Google Chrome’s, and most of the good extensions simply were

impossible to replace correctly and have never re-appeared. So now you need a

special “browser” for Gopher, and Gemini protocols. Sure there’s a

WebExtension, with no helper app for Linux of course, so that’s just swell.

It’s so much easier to read Wikipedia and other Web sites through a proxy to a

simpler protocol, where you can get at the text and optionally load images

(usually stock images you didn’t want) without all the hassle.

Though I usually use the newer Gemini protocol. There’s a Gemini proxy of

Reddit at Gemi.dev along with the weather and a News site proxy.

That way I can keep an eye on the propaganda. It’s amazing that people actually

pay to read propaganda.

There are times now, where I have three Web browsers open. SeaMonkey (which I

use mainly), NetSurf without images or JavaScript (so I can view text-only in a

graphical application), and LibreWolf (a Firefox fork minus the malware and

mountain of trash from Mozilla). Three. This is not reasonable. I wish Mozilla

would go back to making a good Internet application like they had prior to

“Quantum”.

I (only) want to read the New York Times because it’s amazingly corrupt to the

point where it’s a never ending source of amusement.

And there’s really no easy way to stop me, even over the Web, because I can

always use a browser that simply couldn’t run their paywall code if I wanted

to, like Links or Netsurf.

Mozilla not only removed Bypass_Paywalls, but they also removed support for

turning off JavaScript, even to just certain Web sites in the site permissions

menu.

Why? They’ve always taken the side of people who want to tell your computer to

work against you, the user. “Take back the Web?” Hardly. JavaScript_is_almost

always_there_to_do_something_harmful. (WASM too.)

It doesn’t surprise me at all that Google and Mozilla have killed alternatives

to the Web as far as their browsers go, and are turning them into an operating

system (and a really bad one).

The New York Times is functioning as an arm of the Biden Campaign. Parroting

mindlessly, happy happy thoughts about a very sick American economy and running

the KrugmanBot3000 for more “Doom Porn” articles about China.

Today, I read a new funny that I simply have to share. They said that “China

has made all the easy gains it will get by moving workers from farms into

factories.”

The American government moved factory workers to unemployment checks, and then

varyingly dying of drugs (while blaming the Chinese, naturally), living in a

tent and begging for change, or living with their parents, who might have had

some savings or at least a check from Social Security, and who are now nearly

dead.

Where is the “news”? Last I could stomach it, they were saying youth

unemployment and living with parents was “The Charm of Multi-Generational

Housing.”

Other “news” sites aren’t much better. The oligarchs have warred against the

Open Internet for years, and won major victories through courts and corruption

of Web browser companies.

This is coinciding with the_assault_on_archive.org, which actually has nothing

to do with a copyright lawsuit.

The propagandists must first wipe out all traces of any information they’ve

said previously which is no longer convenient.

Then they can go ahead and deploy the new revisions and nobody will ever be

able to prove it was ever different.

It’s exactly the same as Winston Smith’s job at the Ministry of Truth in

Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Burning the old documents so The Party could retroactively change what it said.

It happened so often that they needed people incinerating their prior

statements, full time.

Biden’s Ministry_of_Disinformation within the Department of Homeland Security

laid it on very thick, too thick even, to pass muster, even in this Brave New

World of iPhone zombies who barely know how to read and write, but have college

debts, but they accomplish the same thing without official Disinformation

Ministers now.

Very quickly, nobody was talking about the Disinformation Ministry, like COVID.

Like all of the illegal and unconstitutional things they used COVID as an

excuse to do, and it all vanished. The government courts standing there,

fecklessly watching and and stalling, and aiding and abetting places like

Illinois turning into a dictatorship where rule of law collapsed. It’s like it

never happened.

The same people who have made the Illinois Constitution and the American one

effectively cease to exist, most recently with their assault on the Right to

Bear Arms, are now trying to pass a huge amendment to give the thing that no

longer restrains the State government anyway “gender neutral language”. I won’t

vote for it. Hopefully there are enough other people who haven’t lost their

minds, who wish to preserve the majesty of the document, even though it doesn’t

give them any rights anymore.

Back to censorship…Ah yes, when they’re finished with us, they can just delete

the articles, neuter Wikipedia (Wikipedia Neutering is something government and

PR firms do a lot of.), and plug the “Internet Archive” so that the former

revisions and deleted whole articles will no longer ever prove there were such

things, or at least such revisions as the initial ones.

The lawsuit against the Internet Archive is better to think of in the terms of

billionaire oligarch_Peter_Thiel’s_attack_on_Gawker using Hulk Hogan’s sex tape

as the nominal focus of the lawsuit. The powerful and wealthy wanted to remove

an embarrassment, and they did.

But the Internet Archive will obviously be a much greater loss. A tragedy.

The commons is being narrowed out of existence, because the propagandists don’t

want a well-informed educated public. You can’t rule them if there are too

many.

The Internet Archive’s fair use argument was very strong, and the oligarch-

owned American courts smacked them down anyway.

It’s not as-if there was some sort of rampant piracy happening at the Internet

Archive, although piracy is certainly less objectionable from a moral standard

than Digital Restrictions Malware.

But even using a form of DRM to control how many copies of a digitized work

could be used, to remain compliant with copyright law did not satisfy the

courts, so far.

Considering how corrupt American courts are, I don’t expect their appeal to get

much consideration. Hollywood backs the Democrat Party, and in return they give

the major copyright interests whatever they want.

At various times, they’ve gotten close to copyright bills passing that said

everything was copyrighted “forever” minus one day.

Their DRM systems have always failed, so their counter to that was the Digital

Millennium Copyright Act, which makes it a felony to try to evade DRM.

In the America the corporations and the government propagandists built, drugs

are plentiful, homelessness abounds, and information is cracked down upon.

Many years ago, most people had VCRs. Video Cassette Recorders.

If you had one that was older than the law requiring it to recognize

Macrovision (copy restriction technique for analog tapes), or bought a

“Macrovision remover” device, you could just take one movie and copy it to a

blank tape.

Blank tapes were cheaper than a movie, so practically everyone I knew growing

up had a house full of movies on blank tapes. You went to the rental store,

rented a movie overnight, copied it to the other VCR with a blank cassette,

made sure the copy worked, and then returned the rented tape.

Did Hollywood go under? No. They made a fortune in the video tape industry.

They just always want more. So they arrange to get more, and for software and

legal enforcement to that end.

Today, the nasty schemes from Google, Apple, and Microsoft, which include DRM,

are meant to enslave people, take their access to information and culture away

and dole it out only to people who can pay, and then get them to agree to be a

jerk to everyone on the planet by saying “I can’t give you a copy.” as well as

themselves, are marketed as “desirable goods”.

This is what Richard Stallman meant when he called Apple a “crystal prison”.

When I get new statistics showing Microsoft_laying_off,_Windows_usage_eroding,

and iPhone_shipments_down_double_digits, I feel great. More, please!

Their products are such overbearing tyrants that_they_even_disable_taking

screenshots_while_a_DVD_is_playing.

 You may not be able to take pictures of windows in some apps, such as

 DVD Player.

 -Apple

The manufacturer of brainwashing devices, the iPhones, don’t deserve success.

Apple will continue to be praised in the media regardless of what’s really

happening in there, because we know what the “news” is.

The iPhone may be very pretty, and it’s very bad.

At least few people really like their jailers at Microsoft…

The_clocks_are_striking_Thirteen_in_America, and a few large “tech” companies,

useful enough to be bailed out as much as necessary with government

indebtedness, will control everything you see and hear.

Everything that you see around you now is unreliable and must be questioned.

They have all day, all night, all the time in the world, to keepcoming_up_with

more_garbage. Your sanity will be broken eventually. █

Gemini_version_available_♊︎

✐ Raspberry_Pi_400_Personal_Computer?⠀✐

Posted in GNU/Linux, Hardware at 2:32 am by Guest Editorial Team

Reprinted with permission from Ryan_Farmer. Also available in Gemini.

I’m considering buying a Raspberry Pi 400.

I know it’s a small computer, it’s basically got cell phone-style specs (“4gb

of RAM; Broadcom BCM2711; Quad core Cortex-A72 (ARM v8) 64-bit SoC”).

Linux doesn’t need a lot of computer to run, however.

It may surprise people who are reading this, but until 2016 I was routinely

using an AMD Sempron 3000+, a wimpy mobile processor based on AMD’s K7

microarchitecture. And when I say WIMPY, I mean WIMPY, even by 2004 standards.

It came with Windows XP and 512 MB of RAM. I later upgraded to 1 GB. I thought

it may run Windows Vista because it said “Windows Vista Capable” on it.

When the CD arrived from Compaq (HP), it took Windows Vista over 6 minutes to

start, it barely moved at all, and the laptop was like the surface of the sun

hot trying to run it. It had no Vista drivers, and you were just supposed to

keep using XP drivers for everything.

Microsoft had no idea what kind of a machine Vista would even take when they

started having hardware partners put the stickers on, it kept getting delayed

and more bloated.

They just didn’t want their hardware partners to have unsold stock or scream

that they couldn’t sell computers because Vista was coming, like the next

George R.R. Martin novel, with dragons.

Windows XP had always ran fine, but by this point I moved the entire thing over

to Mandriva Linux and GNOME 2.x. Which ran well enough.

Eventually, Linux got too fat, or at least the major desktops, and GNOME 3 was

basically Vista all over again as in, I couldn’t run it on that laptop. I ended

up moving it to smaller and smaller desktops until finally I was with

Crunchbang Linux.

But by this point, everything ran fine again because there were huge

applications and window managers like GNOME’s Mutter that wanted so much RAM

that they couldn’t possibly be satisfied due to bloat, and leaks that GNOME

didn’t care about.

(Also, there’s no point arguing about bugs and leaks in GNOME, because everyone

in Red Hat circles will flame and lie about you, like_they_did_to_Richard

Stallman, and to_me on IRC. They will come up with any vicious lie to avoid

having to discuss their stinking mess on a technical level, so all you can

really do is use different software anyway if GNOME is bothering you.)

Anyway, my point is, that with less software bloat, you can get away with

running a small computer.

There’s several openSUSE options that you can deploy easily to an SD card and

then run on the Pi.

There are also operating systems whose entire purpose is to just load retro

gaming console emulators, which have no other software in the way at all. You

leave Linux and enter these by shutting it down and swapping cards, apparently.

I briefly stopped to look at some of the other “offerings”. Microsoft has a

“Windows IoT Core” which apparently is useless without a x86 PC running

Windows, because IoT Core is some gimpy thing that’s not a general purpose OS.

But one of the reasons you’d buy a Raspberry Pi 400 Personal Computer is that

it’s a self-contained computer, this one with a keyboard case and ports, that

does not have the UEFI firmware and Windows and x86, to begin with.

UEFI is malware. It’s a stinking pile of malware, and so are the other two.

The PC has been vandalized, and so has Linux on the PC, by Microsoft and their

enablers.

Furthermore, Intel and AMD are committing, essentially, anti-consumer fraud by

benchmarking horribly insecure CPUs and then declaring they have chip bugs that

need plugged, and there goes all of your performance anyway, after you bought

the thing at inflated prices, figuring it would be a monster that would handle

anything you threw at it, and then Intel sabotages it and takes 30% of your

performance away with microcode updates and operating system workarounds.

These hacks for chipset bugs hit Windows users too. The deterioration of

quality in x86 was one reason Apple played around with AMD chips internally for

a while, determined that they were almost as bad, and switched to ARM.

My other option to get off x86 would be the Mac, but those are expensive and

unwieldy.

I’m also not sure if it’s possible to delete Mac OS to free up all the storage

for Linux, like I do to Windows.

I do really wonder why the Pi has not been enhanced with at least 8 GB of RAM.

I saw someone on YouTube browsing around on Chromium and playing YouTube, so I

do know it can do this.

Modern browsers, like Chrome and Firefox, are very poorly designed, and they’re

excessively bloated with features that most people don’t even need which open

up the computer to all sorts of security vulnerabilities.

I don’t really need some gargantuan thing like Firefox (or anything based on

it) monopolizing the whole computer, which is basically where I wound up near

the end with the Sempron with 1 GB of RAM. Eventually there was just not enough

operating system left to cut and if you opened up more than one or two Firefox

tabs you were in serious trouble (Even with NoScript)

Let’s just say that’s not a place I want to be again.

Chromebooks have about 4 GB at best, I think, usually, but they work around it

with tricks (like zram and suspending tabs you’re not looking at), and this is

sort of what keeps them cheap.

Otherwise modern browsers make no effort to even try to contain the mess.

I’ve been using NetSurf somewhat on the side. Humorously, given how much I

despise Flatpak, that’s where it’s from.

(I never said I don’t use any. I said it’s a lousy way to package what should

be OS components.)

NetSurf isn’t bloated, so it’s inherently fast, but you have to sort of lower

your expectations if you’re a “Web App” person.

Lurking Old Reddit works. Reading Wikipedia works. A lot of news sites work,

and since the (prototype) JavaScript is off by default, a lot of the browsing

is just really quiet and fairly pleasant, even if things do look a bit odd.

I’m pretty sure I could use this for some of my browsing to contain the

“Firefox (LibreWolf) is sitting there using 4 GB of RAM” issues, but like,

that’s all the RAM you’ve got on this machine. Mozilla is a real trash can from

top to bottom.

They ran Brendan Eich out on a rail, mainly because he was holding back the

adoption of Digital Restrictions Malware and other Chromeisms so someone

trawled a small political donation he made and drummed him out of camp.

(The funny thing is that Brave Software (his new browser company) has lots of

gay employees and I’m sure he’s aware.)

I feel like lately 90% of my computing is trying to put a lid on the garbage

when it’s so full you have to stand on top of it to make it go down.

It’s not even the rest of the OS I have my doubts about with 4 GB of RAM, it’s

goddamn Firefox.

I feel that Microsoft is probably buzzing around trying to limit the number of

users who can abandon the PC disaster for a working ARM-based system. Again, if

the Pi just had 8 GB I’d live with it. You could even get it to $119 and it

would be a steal.

Why do I smell Microsoft buzzing around?

Well, they did corrupt the “official” Pi OS with enabled repos full of their

garbage, and they did port that useless Windows “thing” to it.

It’s not as bad as when they ported Windows XP to the One Laptop Per Child

project and ruined that.

The computer was supposed to run on a hand crank if you didn’t have reliable

access to power. It was meant for school kids in third world countries. They

were suffering enough without Windows XP, certainly.

I feel that if you had a faster stock clock speed on the Pi and double the RAM,

many Windows users would go pouring for the exit. From what I’m reading, it’s

basically dead easy to drop any number of operating system images on an SD card

for this thing and swap between them.

4 GB of RAM used to be a hell of a lot of RAM. That was before modern

programmers, who wouldn’t know good code if it bit them on the ass.

That’s the most accurate in the Windows world, where things were unreliable and

flakey 20 years ago, but now they hit people with OS killers every month and

they can’t prevent them from being installed or even ask what the update is.

Since Fedora has a lot of bugs and wants to go “git-like images for OS

binaries” with rpm-ostree, I got out before more shit hit the fan. They don’t

just have a lot of bugs, they_want_to_revive_the_bugs_they_had_in_2008.

So this is definitely an OS not to put on the Pi. They don’t even care what it

does on x86 PC anymore.

So I’m sure the Fedora Asahi Spin for the ARM Macs will just go swimmingly.

Anyway, I’m going to look more into the Pi and may go down to pick one up at

the end of the week.

It would be nice to have something that didn’t reek of Wintel and made

computers interesting again, like when you could toss a Commodore in your cart

at the K-Mart. █

Defamatory Attacks by Microsoft Monopoly_Enablers

Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works 4.0

http://techrights.org/videos/uefi-and-tpm-pushers-online-abuse.webm

Summary: Today’s video is very long, but importantly enough it reminds people

that those who attacked_BSD_and_GNU/Linux_users have become full-time_Internet

trolls. It’s important to constantly reframe the situation in light of the

technical issues; based on leaks that we finally have (but keep confidential

for now, for reasons that shall become apparent at a later point), Microsoft-

connected people nowadays engage in mass defamation against critics of

Microsoft and then, in turn, they have the audacity to accuse the targets of

their defamatory attacks in a fashion of sheer projection.

TODAY marks a month since it_all_began. The series started after we had

conclusively busted a bunch of culprits responsible for sabotage against the

site, the IRC network, and the longstanding community by means of entryism,

defamation, mobbing, and blackmail. Along the way there was chauvinism, many

hate crimes, extreme homophobia and more things that we’ll cover in the distant

future (we expect this series to last till next year). There’s also a great

deal of ableism against Richard Stallman (RMS).

The “ringleader” — if that’s the right word (he has never been a leader of

anything, barely started a project in his entire life!) — is the person who

fought_Microsoft's_war_on_Linux_from_within_Linux (and still_does_so_this

year!). Today in his blog he promotes Microsoft Windows. He blatantly promotes

Microsoft in his first blog post in weeks and he publicly associates with other

IRC vandals, which is probably the worst possible thing they could conceivably

do at this time. They make it abundantly clear for all to see who and what

agenda they serve.

“They make it abundantly clear for all to see who and what agenda they

serve.”More curiously, we now have conclusive evidence that they’re a case of

multiple attackers against multiple targets. Do we have evidence? Absolutely

yes! But we will keep it sealed for now, just to leave them guessing (to them

it’s a position of great disadvantage).

Sooner or later one of those ‘dumb’ people (or clinically demented in some

cases) will not just run away from the Techrights IRC network but other IRC

networks. One of them already implicates his handlers and/or collaborators.

It’s utterly embarrassing, one might say a “smoking gun”. We shall release

that, but not today…

The blow they do not see coming hurts the worst!

For nearly a year we insisted on free speech absolutism/maximalism and we

stubbornly insisted that even nazis should not be banned. This decision to not

ban the abusers (even intentional abuse) paid off because it helped us catch

them. We decided not to ban but instead to observe, log, and take notes (as I

did since last year). We carried on until we had everything we needed and now

we have a long series. We’ve sorted the notes and partitioned them by topics,

which the relevant wikis expose (there will be more wiki pages later on). it’s

not about a single person but a collective of people; they made it personal

(attacking myself in particular), but we shall repeatedly get back to what they

originally did and why they deserve condemnation, universally. And the series

“Operation Mole” will be carefully structured to deal with them in turn.

“More curiously, we now have conclusive evidence that they’re a case of

multiple attackers against multiple targets.”In earlier parts we drive home the

point about Restricted Boot and one person’s role in keeping the courts off of

Microsoft’s back. Every article about our series should mention either or both

TPM and UEFI Restricted Boot. Without it, people will lack_context and wrongly

assume it’s an online dispute over character, not over Software Freedom,

ethics, and technical sabotage. It is important to remind old readers and

inform new readers of TPM, Restricted Boot, and how one person let Microsoft

avoid court scrutiny that way. The problem isn’t historical; it’s still an

ongoing sabotage and it’s progressing like a cancer. Sure, there are personal

aspects to the problem, but at the end of the day those culprits infected the

world with Restricted Boot and got the courts off of Microsoft back. Those who

insist about it need to be scrutinised for the work, not the character. It

helps explain their motivation: the trolling, the defamation, the constant

online abuse. The principal culprit just “turns it personal to distract from

what he has done against computing in general and against FOSS specifically

through his actions with Restricted Boot and TPM,” as one person explained,

“and being a vehicle for injecting CoCs into projects. He is a tool. Microsoft

probably has another warming up once he is dealt with, so the focus needs to

include or be on Microsoft.”

Observers ought to recall (and I will always mention this!) that Restricted

Boot is how everyone has a stake in this drama, which otherwise might appear as

an isolated, personal conflict. As the video above explains, it’s not even

personal as they attack other persons and projects as well. The same methods

and smears are being re-used, repurposed etc. The people who afflicted the

Linux world with Restricted Boot simply hate Software Freedom in general. They

profit from going against it.

“As the video above explains, it’s not even personal as they attack other

persons and projects as well.”In short, we can proudly say that we have gems in

our collection of files (evidence) because flamboyant, drugged up, impulsive

people do dumb things out in the open and don’t cover their tracks. We expect

this to combat collective_amnesia and document how those people operate; based

on leaks, they’ve already admitted they also troll RMS and the FSF at this very

moment, so people in our inner circles can see the abuse is broader than us. We

need to notify other victims and do justice to them. And if it becomes possible

to follow the money trail all the way back to Microsoft, it will be a real

accomplishment, or one might say it will “be a real coup”. So far we know about

job interviews and job offers from Microsoft (similar to Miguel_de_Icaza), as

the video above discusses. No names are mentioned. █

      o ⚓ [Old] CNET ☛ Pigeon-powered_Internet_takes_flight⠀⇛

             The Bergen Linux Users Group had some assistance from the

             Vesta Brevdueforening carrier pigeon club and Alan Cox, a

             programmer at Linux leader Red Hat and top deputy of

             Linux founder Linus Torvalds.

             The pigeon protocol didn’t mean the fastest of networks,

             though. Taking an hour and 42 minutes to transfer a 64-

             byte packet of information makes the pigeon network about

             5 trillion times slower than today’s cutting-edge 40

             gigabit-per-second optical fiber networks.

             With a bit more luck than the Bergen group experienced, a

             basic Web page probably could be loaded in a couple of

             hours, participant Vegard Engen said in an e-mail

             interview.

             AppCalls seem to be like AppMesage, except that the

             receiving end will also get a call_id with the message.

             the receiving end then seems to be expected to send an

             AppCallReply in response that uses the call_id instead of

             a route_id.

             So there’s at least this sort of bidirectionality.

                   some compounds found in the dust settled on car

                   surfaces. “It is a sporadic, brief exposure

                   (between 15 minutes and one hour), but with

                   concentrations six to 12 times higher than those

                   that take place outdoors. It is a short, but

                   intense and repetitive exposure. And it is

                   cumulative,” warns Fernández. A 2011 study by this

                   same researcher estimated that the prevalence of

                   tobacco use in vehicles was 5.5%, and 2.2% of

                         broadcast the command to a Polish

                         train—sending a series of three acoustic

                         trigger their emergency stop function.

                   Second quarter earnings are beating lowball

                   guidance, but they are down again, nonetheless. So

                   far business has kept hiring despite this squeeze

                   on the bottom line. It seems that despite slowing

                   sales and output growth, managements are willing to

                   hoard labor, perhaps because they are haunted by

                   the staffing shortages that plagued recoveries

                   after the Covid lockdowns and quarantines first

                   lifted. But the fact of wage costs weighing on

                   profits cannot go on indefinitely. Such labor

                   hoarding should end soon. Then, layoffs will begin.

                   Earnings reports on the April-June earnings are not

                   yet complete, but the picture is nonetheless clear.

                   Company managements had offered depressing guidance

                   so that some 79% of reported figures have outpaced

                   estimates. That is some comfort but more

                   significant is the continued earnings decline. A

                   blend of reported figures and guidance suggests a

                   5.2% drop in earnings per share from spring last

                   year, the third straight quarter of decline. Taking

                   account of the decline in shares outstanding from

                   buybacks and the like this per share expectation

                   suggests something close to an 8% drop in net

                   earnings.

                   “Quiet quitting,” the TikTok-fueled trend of

                   employees doing the bare minimum at work, has been

                   joined by another “quiet” movement: “Quiet

                   cutting,” the practice of reassigning roles in a

                   bid to make employees leave without laying them off

                   outright.

                   A role reassignment is defined as “a change of an

                   employee, while serving continuously within the

                   same agency, from one position to another without

                   promotion or demotion,” according to the U.S.

                   Office of Personnel Management.

                   Of course, role reassignments aren’t always made

                   with this intent; sometimes it’s the only way to

                   keep workers employed. But other times, these

                   measures are a way to “quiet cut” and avoid paying

                   costly severance packages or unemployment benefits,

                   The Wall Street Journal reported.

                   The Protecting Kids on Social Media Act has five

                   major components:

                   The bill would make it illegal for anyone under 13

                   to join a social media platform, and require

                   parental consent for anyone between the ages of 13

                   and 18 to do so. Thus the bill also requires

                   platforms to develop systems to verify the ages of

                   all users, as well as determine the parental or

                   guardian status for minors.

                   The problems inherent in age verification systems

                   are well known. All age verification systems are

                   identity verification systems and surveillance

                   systems. All age verification systems also impact

                   all users because it’s necessary to confirm the age

                   of all people in order to keep out one select age

                   group. This means that every social media user

                   would be subjected to potentially privacy-invasive

                         for their wordsmithing computer programs.

                         Once fully trained, the bot may be given a

                         command—“Write a Margaret Atwood novel”—and

                         the thing will glurp forth 50,000 words, like

                         (themes) outside the protections of copyright

                         law,” the judge writes. “Where elements of a

                   your allotment. The rations are separate for

                   fossil-derived energy and renewable energy, with an

                   awareness that renewable doesn’t mean infinite

                   since there’s a bandwidth issue. The fossil rations

                   I’m in an email conversation with a fellow

                   We both agree that states currently are actively

                   complicit in drilling and burning, but the

                   disagreement is over the fact that I think we need

                   to regulate and that a state can help us there, and

                   he’s saying no to that.

                   Maybe I’ll edit some of my thoughts from that convo

                   into an essay on here once it has settled a bit.

                         the program with the trainers from the

                         institution.

                         Second, I got a long weekend, because

             There’s not much in tech these days that does that, so I

             took a moment to savor this rare sensation.

             The piece by Jack Wallen on ZDNet pitched Linux as a

             refuge from the desktop OS security pitfalls of its

             competitors. I’ve held this viewpoint for a while. What

             impressed me about the article, though, is that the

             author bothered to make the sell to an audience of mostly

             non-Linux-using consumer tech readers.

                   Everything was going fine (as it usually does)

                   prompted me for my user password (to run an admin

                   task). When I started typing the admin password,

                   things went a bit south.

                   Essentially, what happened was VirtualBox locked up

                   my desktop. It wasn’t a full-blown lockup, as I

                   could still move my mouse. I couldn’t, however,

                   click on anything or interact with the desktop in

                   any way (besides moving the cursor).

                   Sometimes, it’s just a matter of waiting for

                   whatever is happening in the background to finish

                   and control will be handed back over. That did not

                   happen. No matter how long I waited, the desktop

                   remained unresponsive.

                   I know what you’re thinking. All I had to do was

                   power down the machine, restart it, and get back to

                   whatever it was I was doing.

                   For any given MacOS or Windows user, that’s the

                   logical process when the desktop locks up. But this

                   is Linux and with Linux…there is always a way.

                   We can’t believe Proton has been around for 5

                   years, a bad sign for the Linux desktop long-term,

                   the dilemma of whether to support your software on

                   outdated operating systems, a laughable plan from

                   Linus Torvalds announced Linux 6.5’s arrival on the

                   official Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML) as he

                   always does, where he says that “nothing

                   particularly odd or scary happened this last week

                   [of development], so there is no excuse to delay

                   the 6.5 release”.

                   Read on for a drop more detail about the many

                   improvements, enhancements, and merriments the

              Ubuntu_23.10⠀⇛

                   The Linux kernel is at the core of all desktop and

                   server Linux distributions, from Ubuntu to Fedora,

                   and it also powers countless other operating

                   systems and virtual machines. Linux kernel 6.5 is

                   now available, with some great improvements for

                   newer AMD and Intel processors. You can expect to

                   see it in your favorite Linux distribution soon,

                   Linux kernel 6.5 enables P-State on some AMD Ryzen

                   processors, which should mean performance and power

                   consumption is balanced across CPU cores. There’s

                   also improved load balancing for Intel’s newer

                   hybrid CPUs — the ones with dedicated Performance

                   Cores and Efficiency Cores, like 13th Gen Core

                   processors. Beyond the processor improvements,

                   kernel 6.5 adds initial support for USB4 Version 2,

                   improvements for RISC-V, and progress on kernel

                   drivers for MIDI 2.0 and Wi-Fi 7.

                   Linus Torvalds released Linux Kernel 6.5, which is

                   the latest mainline Kernel at the moment. You can

                   try out to get the updated fixes and hardware

                   support. After a smooth and quiet testing window,

                   Linux Kernel 6.5 is now available to download.

                   The key items of this release are the support for

                   modern CPU and GPU lineups, WiFi 7 support and a

                   whole lot of performance improvements.

                   Let’s briefly take a look at what’s new.

                   The granddaddy of archive managers is the tar

                   utility (together with the ar and cpio tools). Tar

                   was created in the early days of Unix and remains

                   an essential utility for any Linux system. The

                   filename extension .tar is synonymous with file

                   archives. Other types of archive formats include

                   .iso (for optical storage mediums such as CDROM and

                   DVD-ROMs), .shar, .cpio, and .ar.

                   One of the best cloud storage contenders to emerge

                   is Google Drive – the popular cloud storage

                   application that allows you to store data and

                   access it from a Google account securely.

                   Unfortunately, despite its popularity, Google Drive

                   has yet to have an official client for Linux. If

                   you are a Linux user, there is a good chance you

                   are looking for a Google Drive client or

                   alternative.

                   Flatpak applications are common on Linux. Users who

                   install Flatpak apps from the Flathub app store

                   leave data behind in their home directories. Data

                   that stays there, even after a program is

                   uninstalled from the system.

                   This data can build up. If you want to keep your

                   Linux system running in top shape, you need to

                   clean it and maintain it occasionally. That’s where

                   Flatsweep comes in. It’s a nice, easy-to-use

                   program that can scan your Linux computer for

                   residual Flatpak app data, and clean it for you.

                   In this guide, we’ll show you how you can install

                   Flatsweep, and how to use it to clean up the

                   residual Flatpak data on your Linux desktop or

                   laptop. To get started, ensure you have

                   administrator access, so that you can install the

                   Flatsweep program.

                   something on your computer. These files are

                   required by the system so you can run your

* § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾

      o ⚓ Giz China ☛ Get_Ready_to_Linux_and_Roll:_Explore_the_Top

        Distributions_of_2023⠀⇛

             In one of my previous articles, I’ve told you some of the

             basics when building a PC. Apart from all the techy and

             hardware stuff involved in the process, the software also

             plays a great role! After all the pieces are put

             together, you will need a “brain” to make them

             functional. Right now, the most conventional options are

             Windows and Linux. The former is popular for general

             users while the latter is more in the cycle of developers

             and enthusiasts. Windows needs a paid license while Linux

             is open-source and free. If you want to try an

             alternative over Windows, and want to dive into the world

             of Linux, we are here to present you some of the best

             Linux distros you can try in 2023.

             Linux is secure and flexible, and for that reason is

             gaining more attention these days. It’s also an excellent

             option for those who want to dive into the development

             field. Linux is the core behind everything in this world,

             while a Linux Distro is an operating system that relies

             on the Linux kernel. Due to the open-source nature of the

             OS, you will find multiple Linux distros offering

             distinct features and visuals. A few years ago, it would

             be hard for a inexperienced user to try to use Linux, but

             times have changed. Nowadays, there are many user-

             friendly Linux distros that don’t require you to be an

             expert to use them. Also, the compatibility with popular

             apps has improved over the past years. For those who

             aren’t available on Linux, you will also find neat

             alternatives.

             comes to choosing a Linux distribution, one size, as

             always and definitely does not fit all. The beauty of the

             Linux ecosystem lies in its diversity, offering a pack of

             options to cater to different user needs and preferences.

             When it comes to light-weight Linux distributions, there

             are many options available in 2023.

      o § BSD⠀➾

            # ⚓ [Old] Dante Robinson ☛ 4_Months_of_BSD⠀⇛

                   Over the past 4 months I have been running various

                   BSDs on my daily machine and I have to say I love

                   it. I am coming from Gentoo Linux as a bit of

                   background and I have been using Linux for about 5

                   years full time now, so I am writing with a decent

                   amount of UNIX-Like experience. This will be mostly

                   a discussion comparing BSD to Linux and what I like

                   about and dislike about the various BSDs by itself.

                   For those looking for a TLDR (To Long Didn’t Read)

                   I will be sticking with OpenBSD for the time being

                   and if something doesn’t work out I will be looking

                   to move back to FreeBSD or Gentoo. I think BSD is

                   amazing and the changes over Linux are worth making

                   the switch.

                   UbuntuDDE makes it possible to enjoy the Deepin

                   This combination is not only beautiful, it’s also

                   reliable and secure.

                   This new release uses Deepin 23 (from May 2023),

                   which comes from the upstream Deepin Desktop

                   Environment and includes some (but not all) of the

                   usual Deepin tools (such as Music, Move,

                   Calculator, Log Viewer, and Text Editor).

                   You’ll also find Firefox, GIMP, LibreOffice, and

                   Thunderbird along for the ride. As far as the

                   kernel, UbuntuDDE ships with version 6.2.0-27-

                   generic.

              Ubuntu_for_a_beautiful,_user-friendly_distro⠀⇛

                   Five years ago, I proclaimed Deepin Linux one of

                   the most beautiful desktops on the market. The only

                   problem I found with Deepin was its software

                   center, which had a tendency to prompt users to

                   install what could have been less-than-trustworthy

                   software.

                   That lack of trust gave a lot of users pause and

                   Deepin fell off many a “best of” list. That same

                         Well, response to that post was actually

                         pretty enthusiastic in itself. I heard from

                         several people who wanted to donate money to

                         the project to get it going again. Which then

                         led to a new problem: we didn’t actually have

                         a legal way to accept donations at the time.

                         So after asking around a bit, and a few

                         conference calls between myself, my own

                         company’s lawyer, and a couple of Mozilla’s

                         lawyers, it was decided that Bugzilla needed

                         a legal entity to manage it, similar to how

                         Thunderbird has been operating recently. And,

                         wasn’t much I could actually talk about until

                   the usual fee of €100+ for PerlCon), while we

                   introduced the Koha crowd to features like Lighting

                   Talks. Generally it took some time (and two social

                   events followed by more hanging-out-in-bars) for

                   the two groups to mingle, but at the end of the

                   event I had the feeling that the mixing /

                   unification of the two communities started to

                   happen.

                   For me (professionally) this event was perfect, as

                   we started to work with Koha a few years ago, and

                   meeting the core devs and other community members

                         Our goal was to implement calendar

                         availabilty. Through this, users should be

                         able to update their availability via the

                         Merkuro (formerly Kalendar) application.

                         Once updated, if someone wants to invite this

                         person for an event, the free/busy lookup

                         done would take into consideration the above

                         new information.

                         This would help suggest better intelligent

                         times to schedule events.

                   tried for an update of the system which failed

                   miserably. Something in the session management

                   failed – I’ve seen this error before on desktop

                   machines when doing funky stuff to the GUI stack.

                   This resulted in me booting it from an SD card with

                   the latest Plasma / Manjaro image. This process

                   worked really well – but the phone runs really slow

                   from my cheap SD card. A short download, unzip

                   (took ages again, extracting 1.1GB to 6+GB on an

                   already slow SD card takes patience) and some dd

                   action, and the phone boots a fresh install from

                   the internal eMMC again. Much snappier.

                   After this I did a quick system update and this

                   time it worked like a charm – nice!

                   Luther King Jr.’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech

                   at the 1963 March on Washington, we speak with Gary

                   Younge, author of The Speech: The Story Behind Dr.

                   Martin Luther King Jr.’s Dream. “There is this

                   notion of King’s dream speech as being folded into

                   America’s liberal mythology: America is always

                   getting better, it’s always getting more

                   wonderful,” says Younge, who wrote his book on the

                   speech to reflect America’s current struggle with

                   white supremacy and attacks on people of color. “As

                   Sixty years ago today, the Rev. Martin Luther King

                   Jr. delivered perhaps the most celebrated speech in

                   modern American history. The date was August 28,

                   1963, the occasion the March on Washington for Jobs

                   and Freedom, the place the Lincoln Memorial. We

                   remember the speech largely for its memorable

                   metaphors—“the whirlwinds of revolt,” “the

                   tranquilizing drug of gradualism”—and the urgency

                   of King’s “dream” of a future America that had

                   moved beyond the tyranny of race. King achieved a

                   delicate balance between hope and despair, between

                   anger at the Black condition and reassurance to

                   other Americans that they had nothing to fear from

                   the civil rights movement. All Americans would

                   benefit from the dismantling of the decades-old

                   structures of Jim Crow.

                   On Saturday, a white supremacist gunman killed

                   three Black people at a store in Jacksonville,

                   Florida, in a racially motivated attack.

                   Authorities say the 21-year-old white gunman

                   initially tried to enter the historically Black

                   college Edward Waters University, but he was turned

                   away by a security guard before driving to a nearby

                   Dollar General and opening fire with a legally

                   purchased attack-style rifle. America’s gun problem

                   “makes its racism more lethal,” says Gary Younge,

                   author of Dispatches from the Diaspora: From Nelson

                   Mandela to Black Lives Matter. “There’s been a

                   situation that surrounds us,” says Younge, who says

                   the shooter’s actions are reflective of the current

                   attacks on Black history and represent a backlash

                   to increased racial consciousness following the

                         from the disclaimed expiration date, not the

                         original expiration date. Thus, PTE extends

                         beyond a disclaimed term, while PTA does not.

                         This result was expected by many patent

                         experts, although some in the pharmaceutical

                         industry had pushed for PTA to extend beyond

                         disclaimed terms similarly to PTE. In the

                         end, the statutory language expressly

                         addressing disclaimers in the context of PTA

                         proved decisive. This precedent will apply to

                         all patents already in-force as well as those

                         issued in the future.

                         The publicly traded Australian company IPH

                         Limited continues expanding its global

                         intellectual property services empire. IPH’s

                         latest acquisition is the Canadian IP firm

                         Ridout & Maybee for $65 million Canadian

                         dollars. This comes just 10 months after IPH

                         purchased Canada’s largest IP firm, Smart &

                         Biggar.

                         Ridout & Maybee will merge into Smart &

                         Biggar, further consolidating IPH’s presence

                         in Canada. IPH’s strategy is to dominate

                         secondary IP markets like Canada, New

                         Zealand, and Singapore. It already owns

                         leading firms in Australia, including AJ

                         Park, Griffith Hack, Pizzeys, and Spruson &

                         Ferguson.

                         In late November of 2022, Freeplay Music

                         filed an over $17 million copyright

                         infringement lawsuit against CNN, alleging

                         the unauthorized use of about 115 works in

                         some 280 of the network’s segments. Now, the

                         involved parties have settled the high-stakes

                         legal battle.

                         I’m certainly not the first person to make

                         this point, but the only thing that’s really

                         going to prevent truly bullshit copyright

                         infringement lawsuits from being filed in the

                         first place is when bad actors get hit in the

                         pocketbook. One of the most common ways that

                         actually occurs is through courts ordering

                         plaintiffs in these silly cases to pay

                         attorney’s fees.
