    Wayland's wishful thinking and false prophecies go over a decade back
  2. KDE's Announcement About 'Dumping X' is Very IBM-Like, Citing Some Distant Future Year With No Guarantees It'll Actually Happen

    Why are some people above the law?
  6. We Really Didn't Want to 'Bash' the Media
    how truly awful German press has become
  7. Slopwatch: Slow Weekend, Hardly Any Slop Found
    Slopfarms seem to have slowed down lately

    a taboo in European press
  11. Loads of IBM Departures So Far Today, "Buy Nothing Day"; IBM Pays People in IBM-Bribed "News" Sites to Claim No Layoffs
    While admitting there are so many that they don't want to say the number

    Same thing Microsoft does with Azure
  15. Qwant Made a Partnership With Microsoft, It Already Regrets This and Has Filed Antitrust Complaint Against Microsoft
    On Thanksgiving Day not much of the American media is active, but some European or international media covered important news

  18. Article in Valnet Publishing Group Says Ubuntu Has Become a GNU/Linux Distro to Avoid
    The same people now try to do the same to Debian
  19. Techrights Does Not Wish to Blast the Media
    If the media's role becomes the shifting of the public attention (away from high-profile scandals), is it really informing the public?
  20. EPO Wasting Energy and Violating Data Protection Rules With American Slop Suppliers
    Legality, at least in the EPO, is lacking from the lexicon
  21. "Buy Nothing Day", Give to the Free Software Foundation (FSF) Instead
    Happy Thanksgiving Day message
  22. Over at Tux Machines...
