Updated This Past Day

  1. [Meme] When the People Who Falsely Accuse You of Pedophilia Turn Out to be Projecting
    When you attack something or someone using falsehoods, as happens a lot to Richard Stallman (RMS), there's risk that the attacks will backfire, badly
  2. Why I Continue to Believe That at the End Software Freedom Will Win
    a short and incomplete list of factors which I believe contribute to the sentiment that we can - and will - win the battles over hearts and minds in the "Tech" realm
  3. Technology: rights or responsibilities? - Part X
    By Dr. Andy Farnell

    New

  4. In Some Countries, Such as Greece, Almost 80% of Windows Users Are on Vista 10 and About 85% Need to Move to GNU/Linux for Security Patches
    Vista 11 was a failure
  5. Saving What's Left of Decent and Independent Journalism on the Web
    We increasingly (over time) try to make local copies (hosted on our server) of important documents; it's hard to rely on third parties
  6. [Meme] They Don't Want the Public to Know What "Responsible Encryption" Really Means
    They also blame "China" for their own back doors (because China learned how to exploit those)
  7. The Linux Foundation's Certificate Authority (CA) Significantly and Suspiciously Raises the Number of Certificates It Issues (Quantity Increase/Inflation) by Lessening Their Lifetime in the Name of 'Security' (That Barely Makes Sense!)
    LE made 3 months the "standard" for most, soon to become just 6 days instead of 6 months?
  8. Links 17/12/2024: More China Sanctions, GOP Scheming to Prop Up Fentanylware (TikTok)
    Links for the day
  9. Gemini Links 17/12/2024: The Streisand Effect and Productivity-systems Desiderata
    Links for the day
  10. Links 17/12/2024: More "Tesla Autopilot" and "Hey Hi" (AI) Blunders
    Links for the day
  11. Instead of Promoting GNU/Linux (or Ubuntu) Ahead of Vista 10's EoL Canonical is Marketing Microsoft's Proprietary Software
    It's like Canonical employs people who work for Microsoft, not for Canonical
  12. Links 17/12/2024: Many Abuses by Microsoft and War Updates From Ukraine
    Links for the day
  13. Content Management Systems (CMS) Bloat/ Static Site Generators (SSG) Trouble
    some Web site management stories
  14. DEI Room at fedoraproject.org Pretty Much Dead
    We're not against diversity but against its weaponisation by greedy people who do not value diversity at all
  15. The "Latest Technology News" at BetaNews is Slop About Slop
    This is at the very top of the "news" (front page) at the moment
  16. Over at Tux Machines...
