Today in Techrights

Updated This Past Day

1. KDE and Plasma Probably Won't be Wayland-Only

   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

   they say they go "all Wayland"... then they backtrack because Wayland isn't really ready

3. When It Comes to "Buy Nothing Day", TV Stations Have Shown Who Their True Masters Are

   That's why companies that control the "MSM" hate us so much

   New

4. Links 28/11/2025: EU Taking on the Social Control Media Madness, StubHub is in Trouble

   Links for the day

5. Selective Enforcement, Selective Media Coverage - Part I - This Helps Prove That German Media/Press is Intentionally Covering Up EPO Corruption and Even Substance Abuse

   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

8. The End of the Road for Many at IBM (and Red Hat, Kyndryl Etc.)

   Remember that IBM is fast losing its grip on GNU/Linux because those layoffs or RAs or "last days" impact Red Hat as well

9. Links 28/11/2025: Vista 11 Breaks Itself Again and Microsoft Chaffbot Leaks Users' Data

   Links for the day

10. Two Months Since EPO Cocaine Bust and One Month Since We Began Covering It, Still a Cowardly Media Establishment Refusing to Cover What It Admits to be True

    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

12. Gemini Links 28/11/2025: Mark Shuttleworth on Late Night Linux and Studying Neovim

    Links for the day

13. Links 28/11/2025: Apple and Plagiarism, US Government 'Selling' Europe Down the River

    Links for the day

14. Circular Financing in NVidia (NVidia Pays Its Clients to Buy From NVidia) and "Lessons From the Dotcom Crash"

    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

16. Fake Security Cults Trying to Impose Rust and Wayland on Everyone While Ignoring the Elephants in the Room and Advancing Actual Back Doors

    The same people who keep pushing Wayland and Rust just 'incidentally' push kill switches and back doors as well

17. IBM/Red Hat Laying Off Lots of Staff in the United States During US Holidays

    Around Halloween and all the way up until Thanksgiving (yesterday) we saw a ton of high-profile developers from Red Hat "leaving"

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...

    GNU/Linux news for the past day

23. IRC Proceedings: Thursday, November 27, 2025

    IRC logs for Thursday, November 27, 2025

24. "Ultimate Edition" Site Seems to be Compromised

    This GNU/Linux distro seems to have lost control of its Web site
